The Sun Never Sets Great China

Artillery observers have reported data: "100 meters ahead, one o'clock direction." "Entered 2000 meters, 900 meters, 800 meters, 500 meters." The boiler on the Xiaobao has been turned off, and the battleship The advance was stopped, and dozens of ironclad ships of the Chinese Empire were placed in the front row, and the fleet behind them formed a crescent shape and advanced forward, aiming at more than [-] muzzles of the Dutch fleet.

But the Dutch ships were busy seizing favorable combat positions, and many ships didn't even have time to open their guns.

Seeing this situation, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly shouted: "Shoot, shoot quickly!" First, the 36 cannons on the side strings of the Xiaobao roared, and then nearly [-] cannons behind them fired at the same time, and the sea suddenly seemed like a war. Huge thunder, rumbling non-stop.

Almost as soon as the fire was fired from the opposite side, the officers and soldiers on the Brussels began to shake, countless shells fell like raindrops, and the near-missed shells set off high waves towards the Brussels. Sholden had already seen the deck A few unlucky soldiers were swept up by the waves and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Sholden didn't have time to mourn for the disappeared soldiers, and he was also shaken by the waves. Fortunately, he was in time. Grasping the bar prevents him from being swept away by the waves.

When the whistling of the shells stopped, the Brussels seemed to have experienced a storm, and the entire deck was in a mess. At least a dozen shells exploded near the Brussels, but almost miraculously none of them hit.

When the Brussels was still relatively far away from the opponent, the opponent fired, but after all, it did not hit his own ship. Sholden stabilized his mind, and shouted angrily: "Fight back, fight back quickly, don't worry about the distance, here we go!" I shoot, as long as our shells can reach each other."

The roar came from the Brussels, which had also adjusted its sidestring just now, and a total of 36 artillery pieces roared forward.

The sound of artillery was also scattered in the back. What made Sholden dissatisfied was that the sound made by the more than 100 warships behind was not as good as that of the Brussels ship.

The gunners didn't care to check the effect of the shooting, they nervously retracted the shells of the shells, began to load the shells, and prepared for the next round of attack. Taking advantage of this time, Colonel Schonden had the opportunity to check the fleet behind him.

The first thing that caught his eyes was a big fire, many boats were on fire, and the people on board were desperately carrying sea water to put out the fire. There were pieces of wood floating on the sea surface, and corpses floating on them, and several boats were broken into two. The load is sinking rapidly, and the image of the dense array behind it has been bitten by a big mouthful of noodles, leaving a lot of space in the middle.

The ignited fire gradually formed thick smoke, which slowly blocked Shouden's sight, making it impossible to see the situation of the fleet behind. The fleet that bombarded the Netherlands in the first round was severely damaged, and the other ships obviously did not have the Brussels Lucky.

Seeing the heavy losses of the Dutch fleet, Shouden felt that there was no way to vent his anger. The Netherlands had never fought such a useless naval battle. If Reyoz was by his side, he might dare to curse in person, but they didn't expect The opponent's shells are fierce and have a long range and high accuracy.

"Give me the order, raise the sails, and charge into the enemy camp." Hearing Sholden's order, his deputy was shocked. At this time, the closest distance between the two sides was probably only more than 300 meters, and the opponent had at least 40 warships lined up. In formation, the Brussels rushed up like this, which was no different from courting death. He hurriedly said, "Colonel, it's too dangerous. Shall we back off?"

Shoudden was about to speak when he saw the flames flickering in front of him again. The Tang army's second round of bombardment had already begun. The piercing sound of the guns covered everything. Everyone on the Brussels was shocked and desperately found a place to hide. They have all seen the tragic situation, and no one believes that this time the Brussels will be as lucky as the first time.

First there were huge waves, and high jets of water rose one by one, and then there were several loud noises on the deck. Sholden's guards rushed him to the ground, and Sholden felt his head was hit by a After slapping him across the face, he hastily stretched out his hand to touch it, and his hands were all bright red.

"No? Who slapped me and made my head bleed?" Just when Sholden was wondering, "Boom." An object fell from Colonel Sholden's head. He fixed his eyes, It was the arm and arm of a soldier. It seemed that his head was covered with blood from this arm, and his head was also slapped by this arm.

Sholden was about to get up, when there were several loud bangs again, a long piece of wood fell a few meters away from Sholden, and hit a soldier who was lying on the deck, deeply Deep in his body, the soldier didn't even utter a scream, his head had already drooped, and the bright red blood flowed down the deck to Sholden's face.

Sholden pushed away the guards lying on him, and barely stood up. He felt pain everywhere in his body. He knew that he must be injured. However, he didn't have time to treat the wound, and there were more important things to do .

The guard lying on top of him was already dead, and just now he saw a piece of shrapnel stuck in the guard's head, even the best doctor couldn't save him.

Four big holes were exposed on the deck, and a flame sprang up from below, greedily devouring all combustible burning materials on board, the canvas on the mast was already black, and there was a sound of "beep, beep" , there was a gurgling sound coming from a large hole closest to the sidestring, that was sea water pouring into the cabin, if no rescue was done, the Brussels would either burn or sink.

"Is there anyone else? Is there anyone? Hurry up to put out the fire and plug the loophole." Seeing all this, Sholden yelled.The soldiers who were crawling on the deck just now stood up one by one, moaning. Seeing the scene in front of them, their faces changed drastically, and they began to carry water to fight the fire. A lot of sea water had accumulated under one cabin, but Saving the time to lift water directly from the sea, several soldiers jumped out of the cabin and began to use cotton clothes and clothes to block the leaking gap.

At this time, the Brussels not only lost the ability to move, but also temporarily lost the ability to counterattack, and could only wobble in the middle and let the current wash away.

The Amsterdam was also in chaos. The flagship was in the middle, and the cannons of the Imperial Chinese Fleet hadn't hit there yet, but the corpses and wooden boards floating in front were shocking, and the fires on the ships were even more terrifying. Leyoz's face turned ashen, and he gave Putt a hard look. If he hadn't interfered, he would never have made such a low-level mistake.

Putt knew his fault, and when he saw Leiyoz glaring at him, he quickly turned his head. Putt's blow was bigger than that of Leiyoz. Now, if he loses the battle, Malacca, which was fought so hard, will be lost. Win or lose, not only will he lose his high-level position in the East India Company, he may not even be the Governor of India, and he may have to bury his bones in a foreign land.

Leiyoz knows that it is too late to regret it now, and the only way to do it is to make up for it. If the fleet does not quickly adjust its formation and continue to fight, it will lose. He has been in the army for decades and has rich experience. Thinking of saving the situation, he shouted desperately: "Quickly send my order, evacuate the formation, throw away the immobile ships, and form a horizontal attack formation again with all movable ships."

The thick smoke from the fire on the ship in front has slowly drifted to the Amsterdam, and the semaphore soldiers on it desperately waved the flag to convey Leiyoz's order. The smoke is shrouded, otherwise the ships behind will not be able to see the semaphore, and the entire fleet will lose command.

The front part of the Dutch warships had completely failed, and the Dutch warships behind them began to adjust their formation again. After several rounds of bombardment by the Chinese Imperial Navy, it was found that the Dutch fleet in front had been completely defeated, and the Dutch fleet behind them was far away from their fleet. With a distance of two to 3000 meters, and the sight blocked by the smoke, it was meaningless to fire again. All the warships of the Chinese Empire began to readjust their formation and continue to advance slowly.

Today's Strait of Malacca has become a sea of ​​garbage and floating corpses. The front of the Dutch fleet is full of broken boards and floating corpses. Many of the larger boards still have living Dutch soldiers lying on their stomachs. They look at the side with numb expressions. Some people couldn't help shouting for help as the huge fleet advanced.

The warships of the Chinese Empire passed by indifferently. At this time, the war was not over yet. No one would pay attention to the Dutch soldiers in the water. There were still some broken ships burning among them. Divide into two teams and drive slowly from the left and right respectively.

As soon as they sailed out of this area, the distance between the two sides narrowed to within 2000 meters. The warships of the Chinese Empire began to close together, forming a half-moon shape again, while two fleets of more than 100 warships appeared on the two wings of the Dutch Navy to outflank. Want to swallow the rest of the Dutch.

The Dutch got about 10 minutes to adjust, and the remaining ships have formed a battle formation. The Dutch lost about one-fifth of their warships after being attacked by the Imperial Chinese fleet. There are hundreds of warships.

"My God, oh no! My God, how many warships did the Chinese Empire send? There are also a large number of Chinese Empire fleets emitting black smoke on our wings." Putt looked at the two sides with clairvoyance. He almost collapsed when the ship appeared on the other side. Unlike Leiyoz, who was fighting and trying to win, he seemed to have seen the defeat of the Dutch army.

The warship fleet of the Chinese Empire took advantage of the front attack. Only Xiaobao and the two iron-clad warships behind Xiaobao were hit by several shells respectively. However, these shells only scratched the two iron-clad warships. Itching, a black mark was left at the place where the bullet was shot, but the newly repaired iron sheet on the upper deck of the Xiaobao was blown away again, and several soldiers were injured, but this loss is compared to the loss of the Dutch negligible.

The Dutch were caught off guard. The warships in front were either sunk or paralyzed, or they ran away desperately. They didn't see the effect of their own bombardment at all. commanded the fleeing fleet.

Seeing the warships of the Chinese Empire come and surrounded by two reinforcements, although Reyoz was surprised, he still believed that he still had hope of victory. Any one of the three fleets of the Chinese Empire is stronger. Regarding the strength of the Chinese Imperial Navy, he still stays in the thinking of the Yangtze River War against the Chinese Revolutionary Army’s naval strength. It is impossible to increase the strength within a short period of time, but he did not expect that Zhang Huahan is not an ordinary person.

"Order the fleet, turn left, avoid their main force and the fleet on the right, concentrate all our fleets, and deal with the enemy fleet on the left first."

Leiyoz's order was faithfully carried out, but Putt didn't say a word on the ship. He never dared to disturb Leiyoz's command. He stared blankly at the busy soldiers.

All the Dutch fleets began to turn left, trying their best to distance themselves from the main force on the front and the Imperial Chinese Navy fleet on the right. Leiyoz planned to defeat the Imperial Chinese Navy fleet first, at least to a tie. If he escaped at that time, he could not He said that he had completely failed in this naval battle. Of course, if he could eliminate all the fleets of the Chinese Empire, it would be considered a major victory. As for the gains and losses of the mountain city of Malacca, it is not his business.

The distance between the Imperial Chinese Navy Fleet on the right and the other two fleets was getting wider and wider, until it was more than ten miles away.

It was the second time for Shi Lang to command such a large-scale naval battle, but he also underestimated his own strength, and because of the last naval battle, he knew the sharpness of the Dutch warships very well, so he will strive for a perfect conservative battle with trepidation.

However, the previous victories have greatly increased the confidence of the Imperial Chinese Navy. The number of artillery pieces of the Dutch warships may not be less than the same number of fleets of the Chinese Imperial Navy fleet, but the armor protection and shell accuracy of both sides are not at the same level. Iron armor Needless to say, warships are all made of iron armor, and it doesn't matter if they are hit by dozens or even dozens of shells. Other warships are also equipped with iron armor on the deck and around the sides of the ship, which is not so easy. will be blown up.

If you get hit by eight or ten shells, it's completely fine, but if the opponent hits with three to five shells, you'll probably be in big trouble even if it doesn't sink, even if you exchange two shells for one.The strategy of Shi Lang's three-way joint attack was originally to entangle the opponent with one side, and go around the opponent's back to attack with the other two lines, so as to completely annihilate or force the opponent to surrender. If he fought against the third-route warship, Shi Lang must think that the Dutch commander belongs to two hundred and five plus two, but that is impossible.

The Dutch fleet and Hao Junjie's Fifth Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy finally met together. The Fifth Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy included Junjie and other six armored battleships with 72 cannons, and more than a hundred ships with 72 cannons , 48 cannons, and 36 cannons clad in iron-clad wooden ships, the total number of cannons is more than 3000, and the number of soldiers is more than [-].

The Dutch have more than 26 complete battleships left, including 3000 large battleships, more than 7000 artillery pieces, and about [-] personnel. The Netherlands is a veteran maritime power for many years. Good, on the surface, the Dutch have a small advantage.

The fleets of both sides adjusted their best shooting angles. The fleet of the Chinese Empire was the first to fire. More than a hundred warships fired one after another. In an instant, thousands of shells flew towards the Dutch fleet. There was a rumbling sound everywhere. Dozens of Dutch ships It was shot and caught fire. This time, both sides lined up horizontally, and there was no distinction between the front and the back. Several shells also fell near the Amsterdam, and the huge waves raised flooded the heads of the Dutch sailors on the deck. The soaring water column rises like a blossoming water flower.

Reyoz didn't seem to notice that the best firing distance for the warship has not yet been reached. For the Dutch warship, it is not necessarily beneficial to fire first, but it will expose its firepower. Leiyoz has more confidence in his heart. There are about a thousand guns, and later my own artillery can reach [-]. With the previous record of the Netherlands, if you get closer again, you can hit the opponent with more than [-] rounds, which is enough to sink several warships of the opponent. Bad breath.

"Boom." The second round of shelling by the Imperial Chinese Fleet came again, and the distance between the two sides was even closer. This time, the Dutch fired a few more ships, and the soldiers on many Dutch warships began to plug the leaks. At least Ten Dutch warships began to leak water. Napto was unsteady, and his fat body almost fell out of the pilothouse. On the deck not far from the pilothouse where Puto was, several Dutch soldiers fell on the ground with broken legs and stumps. In a pool of blood, a large hole in the deck extends downward.

The Amsterdam is a large ship, and it has also received intensive care from the artillery fire of the Chinese Imperial Navy. This time, apart from a few near-misses, there was also a shell that fell straight on the deck.

Putt wiped off his cold sweat. With the huge hull of the Amsterdam, it might not sink even after being hit by ten shells, but the shells don't have eyes, and if it falls beside his lord governor, just one shell will kill him. After killing him, Puter couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "General Reyoz, the enemy has attacked us for two rounds, why haven't they fired?"

"Shut up!" Now Leiyoz regretted why he didn't reject Putt's participation in the battle before the battle. He blamed all his mistakes on the opponent.

"General, we have entered the optimal launch distance." The deputy reminded Leiyuez in time, "Launch!" Leiyuez waved his hand fiercely, as if to vent all his previous depression.

Seeing the signal, the semaphore soldiers on both sides of the Amsterdam laid down colorful flags. With the Amsterdam as the center, the Dutch gun barrels spewed flames one after another. The first large-scale counterattack by the Dutch fleet finally came.
