The Sun Never Sets Great China

Marton Tropp spent a lot of time, "Okay, okay! My Admiral Marton Tropp, your worries are obviously unnecessary, that one British ship killed two Spanish ships It’s just a special case, their strength is not strong, they just succeeded by taking advantage of the Spaniard’s relaxation of vigilance, and their internal instability in Britain is not a threat.” The speaker stood up impatiently, and he walked to the horse Don Tropp approached and said: "Admiral Marton Tropp, you will lead the powerful Dutch fleet to Batavia in three days, so, in my opinion, you should go home as soon as possible. , go say goodbye to your family, and prepare to fight for the interests of the Netherlands!" The Speaker was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and said, "Dear Marton, this time you are going to Asia, and your identity has to do a little Adjustment, you will command the operations as the deputy commander of the fleet, and the commander of the fleet is a bureaucrat from the East India Company, his name is Kui Yi, of course, this is not to look down on you, this is just for safety You must know that everyone knows your name, although those Japanese do not necessarily know you, but it is better to be careful, so as not to expose our strategic intentions and make the Japanese suspicious."

"Boom" sounded a cannon, waking Marton Tropp out of his worries about the British Navy. He asked an adjutant, "What's going on? Who's firing?" The adjutant replied, "It's a Chinese warship." It's firing, but it seems to be empty, maybe it's for communication." Marton Tropp looked behind him and saw that his main fleet had already caught up. He restrained himself and ordered the adjutant: "Send the order, The flagship hoisted my admiral's flag and ordered the battle fleet to assemble and cover the transport fleet behind." "What formation is the battle fleet in?" Seeing that Marton Tropp fell silent, the adjutant asked, "Or line up? Is it the same single-line formation that I fought against the French pirates in the Bay of Biscay last time?" "No, my son, this time I will change the traditional way of fighting and try a new tactic." Marton Trow Pu felt a little excited. He pointed to the surface of the Yangtze River and said, "Look, although this is not an ocean, the water surface is wide enough for a decisive battle in two columns. Go and hang the flag and order the battleships to line up in two columns. When I give the order, advance parallel to the upstream and prepare for a decisive inland battle with the Chinese fleet!" Just as Marton Tropp was mobilizing the fleet under his command, the main fleet led by Hai Dafu had already caught up. After Zhao Zixuan's vanguard fleet, Shi Lang took over the commanding flag from Hai Dafu, and personally commanded the fleet to speed up and move downstream.The Chinese fleet commanded by Shi Lang went downstream from the upper reaches, while the Dutch battle fleet commanded by Marton Tropp went upstream from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The two fleets were getting closer and faster, and the entire Yangtze River Shadows of sails burst out on the river, full of murderous aura.

Since most of Shi Lang's fleets are flat-headed Chinese-style sailing ships, several cannons can be placed on the bows, while the Dutch warships have triangle sails on the bows and cannot place cannons. The Chinese fleet will be the first to get the chance to fire.

Seeing that the Yangyi fleet that killed his brother and killed his flagship was getting closer and closer, the eyes of Hai Dafu, the supreme commander of the vanguard force, almost burst into flames. He took his brother's tablet from the cabin himself He came out, hugged his arms with his left hand, then slowly pulled out the sword at his waist with his right hand, held it high above his head, stayed for a while, then swung it down fiercely, and shouted: "Fire! With Hai Dafu's words "fire", the war of aggression launched by the main force of the Dutch navy, the main force of the Japanese army, and some British naval fleets against the entire Chinese Revolutionary Army began.

"Boom" sounded, and the ship fired the first shot. Immediately afterwards, all the warships in the first row fired, and dozens of shells flew towards the Dutch battleship three miles away with a whistling sound.

"Boom", "Boom", "crack", "crack", "crack", with the sound of cracking ship boards, several warships of the Dutch battle fleet were directly hit by shells, and several sailors were hit by the fragments of wooden boards shattered by shells. In one of the sailors, one of the sailors was hit by a wooden plank in the aorta of the neck, seriously injured, and died a few minutes later. The first batch of casualties in the battle between the Chinese Revolutionary Army and the Dutch fleet appeared like this.Marton Tropp's adjutant ran up a few steps and stood in front of Marton Tropp, trying to block the plank fragments with his body.

Marton Tropp pushed his adjutant away. He raised the command knife in his hand and ordered: "The enemy has very few side cannons. Our fleet should carry forward the characteristics of the battleship's fierce side firepower and compete with them in firepower!" He ordered to the adjutant: "Go to hang the flag and order the battle fleet to divide into two groups. The first group led by me will attack the enemy fiercely, while the second group will be commanded by Kui Yi to cover the transport fleet and let them follow closely." After the first group, break through the obstruction of the enemy fleet and continue upstream! After the transport fleet passes by, the first group of battle fleets will stay and continue to entangle the enemy fleet, covering the second group to move upstream!"

Following Marton Tropp's order, the Dutch fleet quickly divided into two groups, one in front and one in back. The front group accelerated to travel upstream, while the latter group slowed down, waiting for the transport fleet behind.

Seeing this tactic of the Dutch with a telescope, Shi Lang knew that they wanted to break through his barrier and rush upstream. He waved his sword and ordered: "Hang up the flag! Order the whole army to stop the enemy with all their strength, and not allow a single ship to break through." Our army's defense line." Seeing that the formation of his own fleet is not dense, and the Dutch fleet may pass through the gaps between the ships, he then said to the soldiers: "Go and hang the flag again, and each row will be [-] ships. The horizontal formation of the ships becomes [-] ships in each row, and every three rows form a group, and each group is scattered in the shape of a 'pin'. Since the enemy's side cannons are very fierce, try not to engage in side cannon battles with the enemy. Rush over Afterwards, immediately move our ship closer to the enemy ship, and when the two ships are close together, we will jump into hand-to-hand combat and entangle the enemy's ship."

The two fleets were adjusting their formations, while the distance between them gradually narrowed, from three miles to two miles, and then from two miles to one, and finally rushed together.On the entire Yangtze River, flames flickered suddenly, guns rumbled, and shouts of killing gradually rang out.Due to the fierce side gunfire of the Dutch warships, when the Dutch warships inserted into the gap between the Chinese Revolutionary Army fleet led by Shi Lang, the formation of the Chinese Revolutionary Army fleet led by Shi Lang began to look messy. Under the fierce bombardment of the battle fleet, many small wooden boats without any armor protection immediately lost their combat effectiveness, and other warships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army also fought on their own and were somewhat overwhelmed.

However, after the first broadside salvo by the Dutch battleship, they had to stop firing and start reloading again.As a result, dozens of Dutch warships in the Chinese Revolutionary Army fleet that rushed into Shi Lang were immediately surrounded by the Chinese Revolutionary Army fleet that had regained their composure. Dozens of warships are leaning together.As soon as the sailors and soldiers on Shi Lang's warship succeeded in getting help, they immediately threw out the grapple hook, hooked it tightly to the side of the Dutch warship, then pulled out the waist knife and bit it in their mouths, and began to crawl towards the Dutch warship along the grapple.But when they had just climbed halfway, a group of Dutch soldiers appeared on the side of the Dutch battleship, and they raised their guns and shot down.

"Bang bang bang" a burst of musket fire, and Shi Lang's men who climbed halfway fell back to the deck of their own ship. Even a few sailors who managed to climb onto the deck of the Dutch battleship were soon surrounded by more Dutch sailors and soldiers. It will be killed within a few rounds of fighting. "Boom" "Boom", several more cannons were fired. The cannons of the warships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army had been reloaded. Seeing that they could not get close, Shi Lang immediately ordered to fire the guns. After a few salvos, the approaching Dutch warships would be bombarded. After the gunpowder smoke passed, most of the Dutch warships leaning against the battleships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army were already in a semi-sunk state.The first melee attack by the Dutch fleet ended in failure.

The main warship of the Netherlands has also reloaded its ammunition. There was a blast and smoke filled the air. Two of the iron-clad battleships of the Chinese Revolutionary Army were also riddled with holes. It is not all steel, and the quality was ignored for the sake of quantity. After all, good steel and special steel have to be used elsewhere. It would be good if a large number of ships can be reported as wrought iron. In addition to a warship of the Chinese Revolutionary Army that was about to sink, several wooden boats equipped with small guns in the river were also turned into broken sawdust.Marton Tropp looked proudly at the ship debris and sailor corpses of the Chinese Revolutionary Army fleet floating on the river, and he said to the adjutant beside him: "My son, look, this is caused by the huge gap in firepower. The comparison of huge casualties brought about. If you want to maintain the Dutch sea superiority, you must maintain the firepower superiority of the Dutch battle fleet, which must not be forgotten at any time!" He paused for a moment, and then ordered: "Flag, the first A group of warships adjusted their course and divided into left and right teams, forcing the enemy's warships to move towards both sides of the river, and continued to advance. Although we lost some ships, we had the advantage of artillery fire. the water surface, let the transport fleet behind pass."

However, Marton Tropp's tactical attempt was not realized, because what he was facing was not a regular battle fleet of a certain country. The leader, coupled with the pirate style under the command of Zhang Huahan, Marton Tropp is facing a fleet whose officers have many years of pirate career and pirate tradition. The firepower of this fleet is more advanced than that of the regular Dutch navy. Although the battleship is not strong, it has good discipline, and there is one thing that the Dutch battleship cannot compare to, that is, a rogue spirit, or a tyrannical spirit that is not afraid of death.When those sailors watched the ships of their friends, partners, and even relatives being bombed by Dutch warships, they felt not only sadness, but also a stronger emotion of anger and hatred in.All of them seemed to be crazy, rushing forward desperately, no longer caring about the formation, so the entire river was full of ships, and the Dutch battle fleet had no way to clear a relatively safe passage to let them go. The transport fleet passed by.

Seeing that his own fleet's first melee attack failed, Shi Lang hastily ordered to regroup and launched another fierce attack on the Dutch battle fleet, but the next two melee attacks ended in failure in the face of the powerful firepower of the Dutch battle fleet. Moreover, after the third attack failed, the formation of the vanguard fleet led by Hai Dafu was completely chaotic. Seeing this situation, Shi Lang had no choice but to change his original plan.Seeing that the fleet could no longer be commanded normally, he ordered a few of his own soldiers to get into small boats, go to Liaison Tu Dahai and the others, and order them to command their own fleets, fight on their own, and entangle themselves tightly to break into their own formation. He himself is going to lead some ships with strong combat power to rush through the defense line of the Dutch forward fleet, and rush directly downstream with the rearguard fleet led by Huang Long who just arrived on the battlefield, to attack its rear firepower A very weak transport fleet, in the hope of maximizing their own victories.

When the vanguard fleet commanded by Marton Tropp and the fleet of the Chinese Revolutionary Army were in a melee, the Japanese transport fleet behind the entire fleet cautiously followed the second battle fleet, trying to wait. Opportunity rushed past the obstruction of the Chinese Revolutionary Army warships and broke through upstream in order to land directly near Nanjing.Nobutsuna Matsudaira walked up and down on the bow, rubbing his hands together, and occasionally stopped. He took the binoculars from Mukai and looked upstream.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna asked Mukai impatiently: "Why haven't you broken through the defense line of the Chinese Revolutionary Army fleet for so long? Is it so difficult to deal with the underwater army composed of a group of pirates and Chinese people?" He also thought that he might encounter the fleet of the Chinese Revolutionary Army in the Yangtze River, but he never expected that the size of this Chinese Revolutionary Army fleet would be so large, and its combat effectiveness was not weak at all.He tried his best to calm down his mood, and said in a humble tone as much as possible: "General, please don't worry, even if we can't make it through, our army can disembark from here and attack Nanjing from land. I believe that the Chinese Revolutionary Army Nayu Pirates and China An army composed of ordinary people cannot stop our army's attack."

"Get off the boat from here?" Nobuzuna Matsudaira scratched his face in pain, "Do you know the terrain here? Do you know the enemy's defense situation here?" Mukai proudly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said : "This is the map that I spent a whole year drawing when I stayed with the generals of the Manchu Qing army as a staff member and a liaison officer with Japan. The situation may change, but please believe in the combat effectiveness of our Japanese army."

Matsudaira Nobuzuna took the map, looked at it carefully, and then said: "You did a good job, it seems that the general is right." He put the map away and said: "If you don't have to, it's better Don't disembark, after all, the gunpowder and ordnance on board cannot be unloaded so easily."

One thing Hao Junjie hates most is that others take his credit. He is a proud and capable naval general of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. , Japanese pirates, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Portugal and other national warships have repeatedly made outstanding achievements in battles. He is a very active person. Deputy Commander Zhang Huahan once said to their first batch of naval crash course graduates, "I don't want to be a general. My soldiers are not good soldiers." So every time there was a big battle, he was at the forefront, always the first to engage the enemy, and most of the time he would be the first to win.

However, this battle really made Hao Junjie very painful, because not only did he fail to win, but he suffered heavy losses.In the first salvo of the Dutch battle fleet, his ship was hit by more than a dozen shells. The armor of the hull was uneven, and the deck was pierced with three holes. It is not known what the shells of the Dutch artillery were. What a powerful thing, all three holes were shot through the bottom of the boat, and the aquifer under the boat began to leak, so that he had to temporarily give up the gang fight, and personally lead people to plug the leak.

When he plugged the last bowl-sized hole and climbed out of the bilge, he was taken aback by what he saw.Because most of the small unarmored warships that surrounded the Dutch warships had sunk, and the remaining small and medium-sized unarmored ships captured from the Zheng family's water army also floated weakly on the water, not only did not fight back. power, and even the power to protect themselves is gone.

Looking at those tall Dutch warships, Hao Junjie cursed a few words viciously, then he personally held the rudder at the stern, ordered the sailors to adjust the sails, hoisted his handsome flag, and prepared to command his fleet to launch another near Regardless of whether he admits it or not, those naval treasures of the Chinese Revolutionary Army Navy who have superior advanced artillery and giant warships have protected those important merchant ships at sea, and the motley troops of the three major fleets gathered now have more firepower than the Netherlands. The navy is not a grade.Together with several sailors, he struggled to turn the rudder, and the rudder rubbed violently against the rudder hole, and a "clack" sound that made the teeth sore came to Hao Junjie's ears.He spat, and cursed secretly: "Damn! This rudder is not as good as the rudders on Western ships and our new warships! Those rudders are labor-saving and flexible, and they are best used on warships." It's a pity that we have too few new warships. After all, the shipyards built them in too short a time, and they are still protecting those expensive merchant ships at sea. An old warship about the same size as mine."

Just as Hao Junjie adjusted the bow of the ship and was about to lead the fleet towards the Dutch warship, a watchman suddenly shouted: "General, General Tuhai raised the commanding flag and ordered our troops to follow his ship." , Attack the enemy's flagship." "F*ck! Delay Lao Tzu's good work!" Hao Junjie cursed, he also wanted to capture a Dutch warship with advanced artillery.One of his adjutants asked, "Then, shall we go?"
