Hold on for three hours?!

In just two hours, the red hairy fan was beaten to the point that he lost his temper.

The stern building of the Dutch ship "Dreadnought" was almost completely torn off by artillery fire;

Another Dutch ship "Oak God" was shot in the powder magazine, detonated the battleship, and sank on the spot!

The flagship "Saint-Michel" was hit hard by Chinese artillery fire, and the bow of the middle bulwark of the hull was completely blown up, and the middle open deck collapsed in a large piece, the remaining plates were tilted, and the mainmast was broken, and the main general Jost Bonkett had to be transferred to another ship.

The battleship, which had 68 guns, was abandoned and captured by the Chinese.

The exterior of the Spanish battleship "Holy Grail" was decorated with fancy and eye-catching, and the Chinese wanted to fire a few cannons when they saw it, but it was completely destroyed by the bombardment, and the crew was killed and wounded.

Normally, the battle line bombardment, sometimes a day, or even a few days, may not be able to distinguish the winner or loser, but the battle in the southwest sea of Ceylon ended in less than three hours. 、

The red-haired fleet retreated in disarray, and the Southeast Fleet pursued and killed.

In the chase battle, several more red-haired battleships were surrounded and could not escape!

The Chinese warships bombarded them, and soon they surrendered with their flags and were treated as prisoners of war.

In the end, in this battle, three ships were sunk and seven ships were captured, and later statistics found that the number of war dead reached a staggering 6,169 people!

Almost a quarter of the troops were killed in the battle, and when the Chinese officers and soldiers set foot on the "Saint-Michel", they found a ship full of dead bodies.

When many of the crew of the Hongmao Battleship arrived, it was a sparse crowd, and most of the personnel were injured, and the "wounded" here refers to the good luck of not having to go through the injuries healed by the Mongolian doctor of the Red Haired Fan, in fact, more than 3,000 people were killed on the spot, and the rest of the seriously injured died one after another, so more than 10,000 people were killed and wounded!

Such a casualty rate is extremely rare, and you can imagine the fierceness of the Chinese artillery fire!

In contrast, the battle damage and casualty rate of the Chinese were relatively "normal", eight warships were seriously damaged, and the rest of the warships were damaged but could be repaired, with 532 killed and seriously disabled in battle, and more than 1,000 wounded.

Among them, there are not a few burns, due to the large number of cannons, the artillery heats up, the whole artillery is like a molten soldering iron, and the skin touches the black smoke rising into barbecue and turning black!

Fortunately, there was no explosion, which shows that the military products have withstood the test.

The march was swift, and the war dead were buried at sea that night, and the wounded were transferred to hospital ships to be cared for.

The ships conveyed the leader's commendation order: "We have won!" We have played the national prestige and the military prestige, and you deserve to be my soldiers! ”

It's the leader's soldier!

All the people who were recognized were cheering and rejoicing.

The supply ship gave them a stove of old fire soup "Buddha jumping over the wall" as a reward, and each person could only drink a small bowl, but everyone was very happy.

In his report, a reporter from the military newspaper who accompanied the army exclaimed: "As long as the leader stops on the warship, this victory will not be able to escape!" ”

And the officers who participated in Chen De's previous battle against the Hongmao Fan Fleet said in private that with such firepower, even if we had a one-to-two balance of strength with the enemy at that time, we would be able to carry it hard, fight it, and even win the battle!

They felt very sorry, because the leader was not there, the Southeast Fleet could not withstand the Hongmaofan Fleet, and sent the Hongmaofan to the Rising Sun Harbor, leaving a disgraceful mark on the resumes of those officers who participated in the war.

Although the leaders believed that Chen De fought well and all the soldiers who participated in the war were good, the officers were unwilling, unlike the soldiers who could get by, the officer corps of the Southeast Army pursued perfection and strived for a glamorous resume.

Unfortunately, the leader can only be one person.

……

The defeated fleet, the frustrated red-haired fan fled overnight.

In the depths of the night, General Jost Bonket, General Michael Parker and Mr. Carr sat in the dimly lit cabin of the Dutch ship "Alpine", and by this time they had no intention of drinking tea and were engaged in the most difficult conversation.

After hearing the preliminary report on the battle damage, Mr. Carr anxiously asked, "You're not going back to Colombo?!" ”

"Yes!" Jost Bonket said: "We went straight back to India. ”

Michael Parker said bluntly: "We have been defeated, and if we go back to Colombo, we will probably be blocked by the Chinese and unable to get out of the port." ”

Mr. Carr was stunned and said, "But did you say that we should resist like their 'Mr. Three Hours'?" ”

"Besides, if we retreat, we will abandon Colombo, and without the fleet, how can the Portuguese hold it?" He objected.

Jost Bonkett said impatiently: "I planned to do so before, but you look at the current situation of the fleet, they are scared, and they can still fight?!" ”

Mr. Carr fell into his seat, his eyes blank!

He was also on the warship during the day's battle, and the deafening artillery fire, the smoke of gunpowder in the sky, and the dying sailors made him shudder.

He also took part in naval battles with the English and Spaniards, and none of them were so fierce as today's.

He was deeply impressed by the dense platoon of guns of the South-Eastern Fleet, and when he was in the ship, he only felt that it was dangerous everywhere, and it was not safe to hide anywhere.

The Chinese artillery is too fierce!

He froze for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you retreat to India, can you still fight?" ”

Mr. Karl sneered: "I see that the Chinese did not sink a single battle, they are fully manned, we have lost a quarter of the battleship, a quarter of the dead and wounded, you are not even Colombo now, don't tell me, you will continue to fight after you return to India!" ”

Jost Bonkett and Michael Parker glanced at each other, Jost Bonkett nodded, and Michael Parker said, "We just discussed, and it is impossible to win the decisive battle of the battleship!" ”

He said calmly: "They have many guns, many ships, and their king is also in the fleet, so we have no hope of victory!" ”

"If you can't beat it, won't you fight?" Mr. Carr slammed the wooden table in anger, causing the candle stand on it to jump and nearly topple.

"We sailed from Europe, along the coastline of Africa, to Arabia, to India, to Ceylon, to Batavia, and finally to China and Japan, and how many people died along the way!" Mr. Carr complained bitterly about his family's history: "If we give up so easily, what face will we have to go back to Europe!" ”

Jost Bonkett whispered, "I didn't say we were going back to Europe!" ”

"Then fight them!" Mr. Karl said undoubtedly: "I will personally go into battle, I will be the pilot ship!" ”

"My opinion is." Jost Bonket stated his strategy: "We will give up the decisive battle of the fleet, we will give up Ceylon, Burma, India, use Africa as a base, send out privateers, fight if we can, flee if we can, and destroy their sea shipping!" ”

Mr. Carr's eyes lit up and he said, "Good! ”

This is a good idea, after all, the operation of the red hair fan in Asia is not as good as in the mainland, the local economy can support the battleship fleet duel, but not in Asia, then take the way of privateers, hit and run, although the southeast country is strong, but the sea area is vast, how can they be on guard everywhere, there is always an opportunity.

"No!" Jost Bonket said: "Our ultimate goal is to make peace with the Chinese, sign a peace treaty, and keep Africa!" ”

Mr. Karl couldn't help but blush when he heard this!

He tried to debate with Jost Bonket, but he couldn't.

The three red-haired fans looked at each other, only feeling that life was full of helplessness.

You can't beat it, and if you give up, you're unwilling, and you're helpless!
