vs 400 The Third Battle of Batavia is upwind and downwind

The southeast battleship marched against the wind and walked in a zigzag pattern, while the Dutch fleet attacked directly, and the scene of two huge fleets unfolding on the sea made every participant feel the blood boiling, and the heavy responsibility was on their shoulders.

In addition to Yan Changwu, there are Storm, Costet, and Celes Macabot (all of whom came to China to help fight foreigners), such as Gan Hui, Hong Xiguan, Yan Zhang, Cheng Yu, Xiao Changrong, and Shi Daxuan, the earliest naval officers (in fact, they are still quite young) all command a battleship.

There are also "older" Gan Tang, Qi Tianfang, Zhao Tianjing, Zhang Shili, Zhang Qiang, Xu Weiye, Huang Min, and others who command the larger fifth-class cruisers. The hundred-year-old navy is by no means easy to with, and if it weren't for the pure teaching of foreign instructors and the intensive training of moons, water, fire, wood, and gold, those officers would not even be able to drive out of the battleship.

It's a good thing to use the battle line to fight, everyone just follow up, if there is a chaotic battle, it is likely to be messed up.

Now the Southeast Fleet is divided into three parts, with Xiao Changrong as the leader of the battle line, he is responsible for piloting, followed by Cheng Yu, and the forward flagship Siresma (both battleships).

There were three battleships, three fifth-class cruisers, and eighteen sixth-class cruisers;

The Chinese army has 10 battleships, 10 5th class cruisers and 18 6th class cruisers;

The rear army had three battleships, three fifth-class cruisers, and eighteen sixth-class cruisers, under the command of Storm;

The squad was huge, but the Dutch team was reduced by three, and was too badly damaged by the battleships to fight again.

Even so, their formation was lengthy, and after the start of the war, the Southeastern Fleet suffered enough!

Two long columns of gunboats, separated by nearly a hundred meters, bombarded each other violently, shells piercing back and forth in the sun, flames flickering, smoke billowing, and the sound echoed in the sea. It lasted for more than three hours, from about nine o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

This kind of mutual bombardment of you and me and you is the most bloody, the Dutch have the upper hand, the muzzle of the gun is down, most of the shells hit the hull of the southeast ship, and the bulwark is pierced and torn at the lightest, and the bulwark collapses at the worst, and the original mighty hull becomes tattered.

The queue of hard bridges and hard horses was shot, the Dutch concentrated on the attack, with a loud sound that shook the sky, the shells slammed in, the starboard side of the southeast ships was abused, and the tragic scene was full of misery, some warships even collapsed in the bow tower, and the bottom became a hell of flesh and blood, and the corpses were piled up together, mutilated, and miserable.

The 24-pounder guns in use were so powerful that the muffled sound of the heavy artillery bombardment that made the southeast army's heart palpitate came from far and near, and another new salvo was fired, and the shells fired one after another were like showers, and the southeast ship "Kaohsiung No. 23" was hit by several shells, and in the huge roar, its upper deck was almost overturned, and the officers and men on the ship were blown to pieces, and the shells broke the entire Kaohsiung No. 23.

The rest of the ships were not much better, and the gun deck was beaten hard by the other side, because the gun deck was the focus of the Dutch attack, resulting in extremely heavy casualties among the gunners of the Southeast Army!

Twenty-one lieutenants were killed or wounded, and thirty-six gunnery officers were killed or wounded, and the guns and guns paid a tragic price for defeating the Dutch.

The gunners were killed and wounded, even so, no one dared to retreat, because the officers took the lead and stuck to their posts, because of the instigation of political and war officials, and of course, military law, those who fear war immediately engage in military law, and will never be forgiven!

But the South-Eastern Fleet did not make the enemy any better, they were at a disadvantage, the muzzle was facing upward, so the guns in the gun deck fired more chain shells.

Chainbills whirring like meteors smash through the sails of white gunboats, breaking their sails, or sweeping away their cables like razors, causing them to drop their sails, and most of all, smashing the enemy's masts!

The effect of the guns on the gun deck destroying the enemy's hull and killing and injuring enemy personnel is very low, and the gun deck is taken care of by the enemy's onslaught, and the casualties are not small, but the gunners in the gun deck still keep firing their guns, firing frantically, even if they hit the planes in the sky, knocking out a rope of the enemy is a rope, and the shells do not miss, it is a success!

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the gunners, at least ten Dutch ships became "hairless birds", ------with only two or three masts on board (some of which were brigs), and all the sails around them were dropped, bare like hairless birds.

More than 20 battleships had seriously damaged sail masts, and half of the battleships had various types of sail masts damaged.

Unfortunately, the Dutch could not repair the damaged sail lines, because the Southeastern Army bloodied their open decks!

Yan Changwu, the commander of the Southeast Army, regardless of his ability to govern the country and the army, his theoretical level was quite high, and he taught his army: "Be good at using the weapons in your hands to strike at the enemy" and "give full play to your subjective initiative"!

His officers and men have studied, comprehended, and thoroughly implemented the spirit of the document...... (A few hundred words of the official sample article are omitted).

Therefore, the officers and men on the open deck of the southeast ship, they lowered the muzzles of the open deck guns and tilted towards their open deck to sweep the enemy with shotguns.

In addition, the muskets bombarded, and the projectiles and bullets swept over the open deck of the Dutch ship like a rain, and the exploding bomb fragments scattered in all directions like scattered sand, bringing out pieces of blood!

As a result, the officers on the gun deck of the southeast ship suffered heavy casualties, while the officers on the open deck of the Dutch ship suffered heavy casualties, and the deputy captain of the southeast ship died more (the deputy captain often stayed on the gun deck during the battle), and the Dutch ship died more captains (all commanded on the open deck)

Due to the great loss of the gun deck, the officers and men on the open deck of the southeast ship were extremely angry, and they opened fire and guns as quickly as possible, crushing the hypocrisy of life with guns, and sending the Dutch pigs to their God!

The Dutch pigs on the open deck had nowhere to hide, and Governor Hendrik Brower even hid in the stern!

A burst of bullets hit, the guards covering him died, wounded, and fell down, even he was shot in the left shoulder, and the other red-haired fans were so frightened that their souls scattered, and they didn't care that he was the governor, who cared about him, the governor died first, anyway, we just didn't block the gun!

The rest of the red-haired fans found a place to hide, and the brown boys who were called were even worse, as soon as the Southeast Army came with a shot, they fell---- did not hit them, but pretended to be dead, and such a tall governor became a good target for the Southeast Army, and had to hide.

Their captain was killed, the helmsman was replaced one after another, and the sailors on the mast were nowhere to be seen---- all swept away!

Although the Dutch beat the gun deck of the southeast ship to the point of view, the southeast army swept the open deck of the Dutch ship clean.

Originally, the battleships that had the upper hand often had the upper hand, but the Southeastern Army taught the Dutch a solid lesson!
