Section 403 The Third Battle of Batavia is a great victory
After all, there are not many crazy people like the two of them, otherwise the Southeast Army would have to run away. (There are no more shells to fight, and there are not enough shells to sink the enemy ship)
The next capture of the prisoners was quite pleasant, and in the pure or impure Dutch shouts of "surrender, not one kill" in the pure or learned Dutch in the Southeastern Army, the Dutch of the battleships were captured.
Storm alone persuaded six Dutch ships to surrender!
He said in Dutch: "I am Storm, surrender, we in the southeast province treat the prisoners preferentially!" ”
As soon as he said so, the Dutch descended.
Storm was cautious, surrounded by marines, not afraid of the Dutch who couldn't see the black guns,
The Dutch ship "March Rose" has lost its combat effectiveness and is dying, but its captain is the veteran Dutch colonist Anthony van Diemen, who only agrees to surrender to the enemy commander, so he commands his subordinates to put up a desperate resistance and refuse the landing of the southeast warship.
He was the vanguard of the Southeast Fleet, and the always hot-hearted Ceresma let him go, surrounded him but did not fight, and sent a cruiser to invite Yan Dashao.
Yan Da Shao was kind-hearted, since the other party was still willing to surrender, in order not to kill, he rushed to the scene to surrender.
He was a man of great appearance, from a large number of people, and a giant ship with a golden flag, he was a big man at first glance, so when Anthony Van Diemen ordered the flag to surrender,
When Yan Dashao boarded the March Rose, the death toll on the ship had already exceeded four hundred, and when he boarded the scarred giant ship, he found that the blood on the deck could even flow into his combat boots!
So much so that he exclaimed: "Victory is the greatest tragedy besides defeat!" ”
The commander shed crocodile tears, and the battle for the day was fierce, with heavy losses on both sides.
The Southeast Fleet: Three sixth-class cruisers were sunk in battle, six sixth-class cruisers, three fifth-class cruisers, and three battleships suffered heavy losses, the masts were broken, and the corpses were piled up; statistics show that more than 600 people were killed and missing, and more than 3,000 were wounded, of which more than 500 will be retired with disabilities.
The heaviest losses in a naval battle to date!
Among the disabled was Cheng Yu, the old man piloted the battleship, charged forward, took a large shotgun in his left hand, and his entire arm disappeared on the spot, and to make matters worse, his lame right knee was also hit by lead bullets, and after a night of tossing, the doctor decided to saw his leg!
In this way, he became a "half person", blind in his left eye, no left hand, no right leg, miserable!
Yan Changwu went to see him in person, saw his comatose and yellow face, and asked the doctor to use the best medicine, and a special person was responsible for nursing it 24 hours a day.
Here's a strange thing.
Most of the vanguard ships were beaten to pieces, and the battleships of Siresma, who were dressed like the Black Warriors in Star Wars, were no exception, but this guy was undamaged, not even a single hair fell out, and the people around him died.
It stands to reason that he is a "fire magnet", he is so tall, eye-catching, and very attractive to hatred, the other party must enthusiastically "care" of him, even more than Yan Dashao, people want to hit him, and indeed many people shoot directly at him, but he is not injured, which makes people puzzled.
Could it really be that "the Force is with him?" ”
After Yan Changwu thought about it, he pressed the tempting idea of letting him stand by his side in the battle for himself to use him as a prop to pretend to be B, and he suspected (seriously doubtful!) If you're standing with Siresma and someone shoots at them, it's likely that you're the one who gets shot, and Siresma is definitely fine.
Some people in Special M are lucky, this guy adds a lot of superstitious aura, everyone thinks that he is the protector of Mazu Niangniang, and there are some generals, looking for Yan Dashao to grind there softly, and also want to get a set of Siresma's armor, they believe that this armor has incredible power, and they are blessed by Mazu Niangniang, making Sires invulnerable to sabers! (There are strict requirements for the army's attire, and Siresma's armor is specially approved by Yan Dashao, and if the rest of the people wear it indiscriminately, military law will be engaged)
Of course, Yan Dashao refuted this bad idea, telling them that it was because of Siresma's disfigurement that they wore this kind of armor, at least Mazu Niangniang's blessing was there, but ordinary people couldn't wear it, unless they were also disfigured!
"We're the army, not cosplay!" Yan Dashao said.
That night, most of the warships returned to the island, everyone did not celebrate, the lights were bright, busy repairing the ships and repairing the ships, preparing to capture Batavia tomorrow, Yan Dashao said, capture Batavia, and then drink wine with the kings.
Some of the better warships approached the port of Batavia, blockaded the port of Batavia, and bombarded Batavia overnight!
After solemnly inspecting the situation of the battleship, solemnly visiting the wounded, and holding a serious meeting to discuss tomorrow's battle, Yan Changwu returned to his cabin to rest.
Closing the door, no one was there, Yan Changwu fell on the bed, covered his face with a pillow, suppressed his voice, and laughed all over!
He was so happy, so happy that he wanted to laugh, so happy that he wanted to drink and party!
Dead and maimed thousand, what is this! Destroy the Dutch power in Southeast Asia, and you will get the Dutch spice island in Southeast Asia, where cloves, cardamom, and pepper are gold!
With vast territory and unlimited wealth at his fingertips, how could Yan Changwu not be happy!
The same is true for the others, and the high-ranking generals are overjoyed and walk as if they have stepped on a spring! They will receive medals, official positions, bonuses, and knighthoods, and they will be rewarded in any case.
Realistic minions are calculating how much the bonus will be, and usually, ordinary battles will be rewarded with three months' salary as a basic reward (the rest of the rewards are counted separately), but the War Department has long released rumors that this battle will have at least five months' salary as a basic reward!
……
Compared with the joy of the Southeastern Army, Batavia is a collapse!
There were 91 ships when they went, and 25 warships when they returned, and the warships that escaped back were also seriously damaged, and the general loss of ships was almost half, and the casualties were almost half, and the losses were so great that all the Dutch were sad and cried, and the dignified men were also in tears.
In the post-war statistics, 11 Dutch combined fleets were sunk, 15 escaped and did not return to the port of Batavia, plus the 25 warships that returned, 40 Dutch warships were captured!
About 8,000 people were killed in the war, and about 4,000 people were captured, half of them were whites, and the other half were people of various races (at that time, the personnel were complex, including local aborigines, people from mainland India, West Asians and even blacks, etc., but there were no Chinese, and the whites were afraid of the Chinese, so they did not need to join the army), due to the lack of information, the Batavian side did not establish a strict military system, and the numbers had a certain error, and many people could not be counted.
The wounded soldiers are defeated, they have no courage, the other party is three times as much, and they have hit outside the port, people are panicking, at this critical juncture, there is still a red-haired fan who stands up, he wants to turn the tide!
