The battleship released a medium-sized dinghy that could hold twenty people, which served as both a lifeboat and a landing, and there was no dedicated landing ship at this time.

Each battleship had two small boats, a total of sixteen battleships capable of dropping 32 * 20 = 640 people at a time, plus the small boats brought by the rest of the battleships, thousands of people were concentrated on the left side of the port of Batavia, where they were beaten badly.

There was an uproar on each of the ships, and the Marines climbed down the net-like rope ladder beside the battleship to the dinghy, and when they were full, they began to row towards land.

Their commanders, Deng Tianyan and Zhou Quanbin, also charged with them towards the beachhead, and the sea was calm, but the sea seemed to be expanding, and the dinghy seemed to be scattered across the sea.

Zhou Quanbin was the deputy commander, rushing to the front, knowing very well what the situation was, he said to his adjutant: "The undercurrent here is very large!" Then he ordered to find the opposite channel and row hard, and the boat put up the flag to recruit his men.

The coastal battery fired, and a shell hit Zhou Quanbin, stirring up a column of water, drenching the people in the boat!

The rise and fall of the water column was only a small episode, the attack force of the battery was very weak, and the attack was often missed, so far not a single boat has been hit.

The dinghy hit the bottom, Zhou Quanbin was the first to jump off the boat, very good, the sea water was only up to his knees, so he waded ashore, and the muzzles of their muskets were wrapped in oiled paper to prevent water from entering.

The fortifications of the Dutch were not well done, and even if there were, they were covered by shells once, and Zhou Quanbin successfully boarded the beachhead, and the soldiers of the same boat held military flags and erected them on the beach, waiting for the follow-up troops.

The musketeers had better advance in a dense group, but the Dutch, apparently not wanting to make it easy for them, a six-pounder cannon opened fire on them, striking them in front of them, splashing sand for some to eat, and they spat on the ground.

"Sir, they're beating us!" The adjutant shouted.

"I know! I know! Zhou Quanbin responded, thinking that what can they do to beat us, that is their freedom!

Looking around, only three small boats of officers and men gathered under his red flag, while the rest of the small boats were washed up by the undercurrent in the sea, and they could not get ashore for a moment.

There was a whistling sound, and another cannon came at me, hitting the gravel and clinking it on the helmet.

"Do we have a drummer?" Zhou Quanbin asked.

He was answered by the sound of a small drum, someone beat the drum, and Zhou Quanbin shouted: "Very good! Get ready to beat the marching drums! ”

"The whole team!"

"Check the equipment, load the gunpowder, load!" He gave the order, and the Marines carried it out.

A small army of sixty people lined up in three rows, stepping on the drum beat of the marching drum and advancing with a red flag!

Around them, shells kept falling, but they turned a blind eye and continued to move forward!

Deng Tianyan, who was still in the sea, saw this scene and shouted loudly: "Hurry, row quickly!" ”

Everyone in the dinghy worked together, but the damn undercurrent stuck to the bottom of the boat like glue, making it difficult for them to move forward with sweat, and even a little slackened, and two of the dinghy were washed away by the sea.

A small force of sixty men had already rushed to the Dutchman's battery No. 1, they fired their guns, killed the gunners, and a row of soldiers behind threw grenades (all wrapped in waterproof paper), fired several rows of guns, and the gunners scattered in all directions!

Without killing a few Dutchmen, Battery 1 fell into their hands, and then they advanced down the hill to Battery 2.

The resistance was still weak, and after the Dutch and natives were shot, they had no intention of resisting and fled to Fort 3, while Zhou Quanbin led his small detachment to follow behind unhurriedly, this time to see where the defenders fled!

The defenders of the three batteries gathered at the last battery and watched the arrival of the Southeastern Army, at a loss!

And Zhou Quanbin saw that there were hundreds of them, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, but it was also a shame to retreat, in fact, he didn't attack urgently because he wanted the defenders to escape, the problem was that the defenders were too stupid----- special M, the white people were stupid, and the natives were even more stupid.

He didn't think where else could he escape?

The Southeast Army and the defenders are getting closer and closer, the defenders did not shoot artillery, and the Southeast Army did not shoot either, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely weird!

Zhou Quanbin suddenly blessed his soul and found a non-commissioned officer, that non-commissioned officer enjoys the foreign language allowance in the army, and he can speak Dutch!

You must know that Yan Dashao boasted that his journey was a sea of stars, and the army specially set up a foreign language allowance, which can be enjoyed by officers and soldiers who know foreign languages and pass the exam, and the price is not low, and there are conditions, there are many red hairs in the army, and they are responsible for teaching ghost words, so there are many Southeast Army soldiers who know ghost language.

At his command, the non-commissioned officer shouted in Dutch: "Surrender your guns and don't kill, those who surrender will not die, and we will treat our prisoners preferentially!" ”

Hearing his words, the Dutch were relieved and immediately lined up!

Not to resist, but to surrender the guns!

There were also Dutch people yelling at the natives to hand over their muskets, spears and machetes!

Overjoyed, Zhou Quanbin led the squad to collect and surrender, let the whites stand on one side, and the natives (or other miscellaneous armies) stood on the other, and appointed two whites to manage the natives.

The two white men were very energetic and commanded the natives to line up, and some of the natives moved a little slower, and even got kicked and beaten by the whites.

Counting, about 235 whites, and more than 400 natives, Zhou Quanbin asked the translator to publicize the capture policy: "As long as you don't resist and guarantee that no one is killed, no one will die and will not be abused!" ”

He had the medics in his team treat the wounded of the defenders, an attitude that was useful---- if he wanted to kill them, there was no need to waste medicine, so the captives stayed in peace.

Got rid of the Dutch military flag and planted the military flag of the Southeast Province on the No. 3 battery!

The military flag was unfurled, and the officers and soldiers on the warship outside the port thundered with joy!

Deng Tianyan, on the other hand, fired a shot into the air in annoyance, he had just landed on the beach of Fort 1 and had to sit back in the dinghy and try to attack the other side of the battery.

……

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The cannon roared, and the ten Dutch battleships moored in the harbor actually opened fire and bombarded the No. 3 battery without knowing each other!

Zhou Quanbin immediately recruited gunners from among the white captives, formed a team, turned the muzzle, and loaded ammunition to bombard the Dutch battleship.

Seeing that the original square battery had blown itself up, the Dutch battleship was depressed!

They saw a small boat with two whites on it, two Southeastern Corps, waving white flags (this is the international lingua franca), rowed by four natives.

Zhou Quanbin took the translator and personally went out to persuade these ten Dutch warships to surrender!

The Dutchman let him go up to the flagship, found Van Rosemaren, who was in command, and said to him: "You fought valiantly, but your God has abandoned you, and we have a large fleet around you outside, and you have no escape but to surrender!" ”

Seeing that they didn't speak, Zhou Quanbin continued: "Those who resist are killed, those who surrender are killed, and we treat the prisoners preferentially!" ”

The two white captives who accompanied them recounted the scene of the Southeast Army's capture of the fort just now, without firing a single shot, without killing a single one, and treating the prisoners!

So Van Roesmaren surrendered!

The ships lowered their flags, the guns were retracted, and they gathered all the time, and did not start a battle team.

is a good Zhou Quanbin, full of guts, he went straight to Batavia City!
