The battleship "Zheng He II" gradually approached the Dutch ship that was about to surrender, and when the two ships were less than half a nautical mile apart, they lowered five speedboats from the battleship "Zheng He II", which were full of soldiers of the Marine Division.

Tian Qiliang ordered the artillery to be aimed at the Dutch ships, and if they made any abnormal moves, they would be sent back to their hometowns, and at the same time, the deck was covered with soldiers of the Marine Division, and their guns were aimed at the opposite ship, and everyone was sweating for the first batch of marines to set off.

At this time, the sea was not stormy, and the commander who took the first speedboat was Mo Qiufeng, commander of the 7th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 5th Marine Division.

Mo Qiufeng was the first warrior to board the Dutch warship, he held a Minny gun in his hand, the Dutch sailors lowered the cable, Mo Qiufeng climbed the ship on the cable, and behind him came up a reinforced platoon of soldiers.

The Dutch captain was waiting on the deck for the Huaxia soldiers to come and receive him, he had witnessed the strength of the Huaxia Navy, had completely abandoned the resistance to the Huaxia, and led all the sailors to surrender to the Huaxia Navy.

After the speedboat had finished transporting the first group of soldiers, it immediately returned to transport the second group.

After Mo Qiufeng landed on the deck, the Dutch captain took the initiative to come and salute him: "I am the captain of the Dutch 'Selt' ship, and I am willing to surrender to Huaxia, please accept this battleship." ”

Behind Mo Qiufeng was an interpreter who translated the captain's words to Mo Qiufeng.

Mo Qiufeng said: "I am here to take over the ship on behalf of the Huaxia Navy, please call all the people to the deck." ”

The captain said: "All our armed men have laid down their weapons and are concentrated on the deck, waiting for the disposal of your army, and a small number of sailors are not on the deck because they want to control the ship. ”

Mo Qiufeng glanced at the captives on the deck, there were about five hundred people, and he asked, "How many people are there on your ship?" ”

The captain replied: "There are four hundred and fifty armed men, and three hundred sailors. ”

Mo Qiufeng sent someone back to "Zheng He No. 2" to report the situation here, and he stayed behind to watch the prisoners on the deck.

Tian Qiliang got Mo Qiufeng's report, and his heart was relieved. He ordered the transport of personnel to be expedited, and to take over all the Dutch ships.

Since the Dutch ship was a sailing ship, the Huaxia Navy could not control the warship, so Tian Qiliang asked the Dutch captain to continue to serve as the captain under the supervision of the navy, and commanded the Dutch sailors to start the ship.

Tian Qiliang reported to Gao Junshan on the reception of the Dutch ship, and Gao Junshan praised Tian Qiliang and ordered "Zheng He No. 2" to go to support "Zheng He No. 3".

Gao Junshan received a call from "Zheng He No. 3", which sank two Dutch ships in the battle to intercept four third-class Dutch battleships, but two of them escaped, and Gao Junshan ordered "Zheng He No. 3" to pursue with victory.

It is impossible for those two Dutch ships to escape from the pursuit of the Chinese Navy, how can the sail ship race with the steam engine ship?

Therefore, after some chase, the two Dutch ships were sunk in the vast sea by two Zhenghe-class steam engine battleships.

Gao Junshan received a call from the second and third detachments.

The second detachment completed the task of sinking the battleship "Felix", and the Marine Division had already begun a general offensive against Batavia;

The 3rd detachment completed the task of sinking the battleship "Sylvester", and the detachment has already returned to the Strait of Malacca as originally planned.

Gao Junshan called Liu Wenxiu, Hong Pengju, Tian Qiliang, and Hui Yan, four senior admirals, over to discuss the next step of action.

Liu Wenxiu said: "We have completed the predetermined battle plan, and we should return to Yangon." ”

Hong Pengju supported Liu Wenxiu's opinion.

Tian Qiliang believed that now was the best time to seize Batavia, and that the first detachment should make persistent efforts, land on the island of Java, march west of Batavia, and cooperate with the frontal troops to attack the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. ”

Hui Yan said: "It is completely enough to attack Batavia with our division in the east, and there is no need for support, now the mountain chief is still on the ship, the safety of the mountain chief is the most important, we should return to Yangon to ensure the safety of the mountain chief." ”

Gao Junshan said: "I fully support Tian Qiliang's opinion, you are all considering the problem from the perspective of my security, not how to solve the enemy in Batavia as soon as possible, I will not adopt your opinion!" ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "Father, your safety is far more important than taking Batavia!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "After taking Batavia, will there be any problems with my safety?" I tell you that I have come to Batavia to see it. ”

Democracy must also be centralized, and in the end everyone obeyed Gao Junshan's opinion.

As a result, the fleet continued southward, reaching Cilegon on the island of Java on 12 January.

Gao Junshan went ashore at Cilegon and led the 3rd Regiment of the 5th Marine Division in the direction of Batavia.

The Batavia squad of the General Affairs Bureau, which had already received the news, sent Gan Yong and Miao Lun to meet them, and Gan Yong and Miao Lun met the avant-garde company halfway through.

Gan Yong and Miao Lun did not come alone, they also brought 30 million Dantu troops.

Gan Yong was the reconnaissance company commander of the Fifth Marine Division, and he was familiar with Mo Qiufeng, so Mo Qiufeng brought Gan Yong to see Gao Junshan.

"Report to the mountain commander, Gan Yong, the commander of the reconnaissance company of the Fifth Marine Division, is here to report!"

Gao Junshan was resting on a large rock, drinking water from the kettle and praising Gan Yong: "Your mission has been done excellently, and your intelligence has paved the way for us to march into Batavia. ”

Mo Qiufeng said: "Company Commander Gan came this time, and he also brought 3,000 troops of the local Tu tribe. ”

Gao Junshan is very happy to have the support of the local Tu people, and the management of this area will be much smoother in the future.

Gao Junshan summoned the leaders of the Banten army, who expressed their support for the Huaxia army to drive the Dutch out of Batavia.

Gao Junshan learned from the Banten people that since the Dutch occupied Batavia, they had killed innocents on the island, which greatly harmed the interests of the locals, and they had long wanted to drive the Dutch into the sea. Now that the Chinese army is coming, they are warmly welcomed, because they have a deep friendship with China, which was established by Zheng He's voyage to the West more than 200 years ago.

With the support of the local Tu, the army's march was noticeably quicker, and the next morning, they reached the outside of Batavia.

The rumbling of artillery indicates that the general assault on Batavia has begun, and Gao Junshan has arrived here at the time of the general assault.

The three regiments, with the assistance of 30 million Danes, launched a fierce offensive against the Dutch from the west of Batavia.
