Section 916 seems like an impossible task

Once upon a time, the red-haired fans were the pride of the sea, they took sailboats, invited to travel the world, and went everywhere, and all the seas of the world left their sail shadows.

They also used to wander the open sea of the Chinese mainland, the mainland is Chinese, and the ocean is white!

But now, the South China Sea has long become an inland lake for the Chinese, and Southeast Asia has long been lost, and now Ceylon and India seem to be unable to keep it!

Retreat and retreat, and return to Africa to be the company of blacks.

……

Ceylon, Colombo Fortress.

Rogerio, the governor of Portugal on the city wall, put down the binoculars in his hand and sighed heavily, only to feel that his mouth was full of bitterness.

The fortress was covered with Chinese battleships on the sea, and there was no trace of the white man's own battleships!

The Dutch, the Spaniards, the British, all of them were unreliable and shamefully deserted!

Leaving the Portuguese to face the mighty Chinese fleet, don't they know that if Ceylon is lost and the Chinese get a foothold, the whites will not even be able to keep India!

It will even bring a chain reaction, India, West Asia, the Arab region, Africa and other places will be within the attack range of those yellow-skinned monkeys.

Rogerio is dressed in satin and has a good demeanor, such a guy belongs to a laid-back colonial official, he is a good hand at drinking and drinking tea at a dance party, hunting and picking up girls, he is ruthless enough to grab money, and he is even more terrible to brag about cowhides, and he wants him to go to war and do such dirty and undignified things, oh, my god!

However, he saw the strong defenses of the fortress, and he was a little confident that maybe he would become a hero to resist the infidels!

Colombo was occupied by the white leather very early in the last century, and after a long period of operation, it became a fortress city, and it is an important stronghold of the white leather in Asia.

On June 4, 1587, the army of King Sawavaka of Ceylon appeared near Colombo. According to the Portuguese, it included 50,000 soldiers, an equal number of men, and another 10,000 coolies. There were also 500 musketeers and more than 1,000 craftsmen, as well as 2,200 elephants, 40,000 cattle, 150 light and heavy artillery pieces and 65 light warships to blockade the port of Colombo.

The Portuguese had only 300 men and 700 mercenaries from the subcontinent and the region, while they had 60,000 people to protect, and King Savaca sent troops during the monsoon season in the Indian Ocean, when rough seas prevented other Portuguese colonies from reinforcing Colombo.

With a force of only 1,000 against tens of thousands, the Portuguese held Colombo, are they supermen?

In fact, the Portuguese had tens of thousands of troops, and they skillfully mobilized the local population, those with vested interests to defend the city, and at the same time relied on superior guns and defenses to defeat the Ceylonese.

Rogerio is looking forward to reenacting the legend of 300 Portuguese warriors defeating 100,000 Sri Lankans and becoming a Portuguese hero, to hell with the timid Dutch, Spaniards and British.

……

"The defense of the Colombo fortress is better than that of the city of Malacca!" In the large conference room and cafeteria of the flagship "Southeast Asia No. 1", the officers were seated and had a military meeting.

The meeting was chaired by the Chief of Staff, Mr. David David, and King Yan Changwu did not attend.

Yan Changwu knows how to divide labor and cooperation, knows the division of power, and Zhuge Liang, who does not do anything, let everyone have work to do, and do not arrange business.

In this way, everyone has something to do, and there is a sense of accomplishment.

The operational staff officer reported on the military situation: "The city defense of Ceylon has been constantly strengthened, and five years before our arrival, the city wall was raised to increase the firepower. ”

He showed a map of the city's defenses!

On the drawings, the deployment of the Colombo fortress is clear at a glance, and the combat staff officer introduced: "The Colombo fortress is close to the sea, its north and west sides face the sea, and the east and south sides of the east and south of the land have built many protrusions that form an angle, the city wall is six meters high, the wall is wide and thick, its oblique wall can effectively resist the shelling, and the dense shooting holes and the reasonable placement of the city defense artillery platform make its defense force double. ”

Everyone looked at the city defense map carefully, and they only felt that it was a little tricky.

"They learned the lesson of our attack on the city of Malacca and built a large number of pillboxes on the city to prevent us from throwing bombs on it," said the combat staff officer. ”

The word "bunker" comes from the leader's designation, and refers to the strong buildings used in military defense, mostly made of brick, stone, reinforced concrete, etc., and often closed.

The last time the Southeast Army attacked the city of Malacca, the red-haired fan was blown up by the bomb grenades thrown up all over the city, and those who escaped in Malacca were all frightened when they thought of the "electric light cannon" that fell beside them.

Although it is a black powder bomb, it is mixed with steel balls and iron nails, well, many of them are rusty, and the lethality is not small, and they can even blow up their eyes, often making the injured "infected" with high fever, amputation and even death.

After that, the red hairy fan was full of "pillboxes" on the city to prevent the attack of guns and bombs.

Listen to the combat staff officer: "They also made a lot of bombs!" ”

As soon as everyone heard it, it seemed that the red-haired fan also wanted to "use the way of others to treat their bodies", but that was not good, and the soldiers had to be given more armor.

"They have a very strong army, there are 1,000 people in the authentic white skins, and 2,000 are Asan, West Asians, Persians, Arabs and blacks, and they have mobilized tens of thousands of local people!"

Hey, thirteen thousand!

"The armament was that three thousand men had muskets, and all of them had flintlock muskets, a total of six thousand flintlock muskets! They were all newly made flintlock pistols, with a firing rate of more than ninety percent, and the servant army was a broadsword and spear, with a total of 150 cannons in the city, of which 50 were heavy artillery over 18 pounds, and 100 were light artillery. "The staff officer introduced me all the way.

In the past, Hongmao Fan mostly used arquebuses, but now all of them are equipped with flintlock pistols with a firing rate of more than ninety percent!

Flintlock pistols actually existed very early, but due to poor technology, their performance on the battlefield was even worse than that of arquebuses, so they were not popularized.

Even if the flintlock pistol could not be sold in Europe, it was sent to Macao in Asia for "processing", and Yan Dashao bought it, and concentrated manpower on scientific and technological research, so that the flintlock pistol could be put on the table.

As a result, the red haired fan got the improved flintlock pistol, and it was also the same, and the style was very close to the Chinese flintlock pistol, and no copyright fees were given......

The staff officer continued: "The defenders are now high in morale, well-equipped, and have strengthened their personal protection, they have confidence in themselves, and they have the will to fight without a way out, they have been preparing for battle, they have stockpiled a lot of food and gunpowder, there are wells in the city, and the city is strong. ”

The officers listened to it clearly, buzzed, and discussed privately, it is indeed the most formidable enemy encountered in the current campaign!

After the operational staff officer introduced the various pieces of information, he particularly emphasized: "The above information is all up to date!" ”

Everyone nodded, they knew very well that the leader attaches great importance to intelligence, is willing to spend money, the intelligence system is extremely large, and the work of collecting enemy intelligence is spared.

Mr. David stood up and said, "Leader's instructions! ”

All the officers closed their voices in unison, solemnized, and sat up straight!

"The leader instructed us to get down Colombo City as quickly as possible, and take Colombo City as quickly as possible and with the least casualties!" Mr. David said firmly: "I have made a military order in front of the leader, and I will go down to the city in seven days!" ”

As soon as everyone heard, Niu, it took seven months for Hong Xiguan to attack Malacca City, and the city defense of Malacca City was far inferior to Colombo City.

And with the fastest speed and the smallest casualties, take down the city of Colombo!

Seems like an impossible task!
