The combat unit under the commander-in-chief of the army of Fu and Lin had been assembled, and all the men and horses of the two battalions boarded the ship and set off for the Luzon Overseas Territory, which was the largest force ever used in the expedition to the Australian Federation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the two battalions did not reach the level of full strength, they also had about 800 people, and with the addition of dozens of academies of the Army Academy, the entire combat unit was at least about 1,200 people.

It was the first time that five ships and 25 small landing ships had been dispatched, and all the two sides were looking forward to the success of this cooperation.

After all, there is no difficulty in this battle, although the Dutch are still meaningful, and Li Zhiqing is still in their negotiations, but since the time of the battle has been planned, it is impossible to make changes.

Before the war, the newly formed General Staff of the Ministry of Defense conducted a discussion to analyze the possible conflict with the Dutch.

Intelligence shows that although Australia has sent people to Batavia to negotiate, but the other side has not relaxed its vigilance against Australia, large-scale dispatch of troops, the troops around Manchester City have basically been withdrawn, and in addition to the local national guard force, there is a newly recruited recruit training camp, this force has not been sent to the battlefield mainly because it has just been formed, and has not yet been trained, and such a force is likely to have accidents.

After all, for Australia, such an accident is not allowed to happen, and the life of every soldier will be guaranteed, in addition to ensuring the safety of their lives, there is also to let them return safely from the battlefield.

Australia does not have a population advantage over the Ming Dynasty, and everyone is a very valuable talent for Australia, and they have their own due use, so their safety must be guaranteed.

All the people who went on this expedition should try their best to ensure their safe return, after all, every veteran of the battle knows how much help they will help on the battlefield of Daming in the future.

The Dutch amassed a large number of forces to defend Batavia and Dayuan Island, and even reduced the strength of some other small trading points, which was actually completely unnecessary in the eyes of Australia, and Australia could not move their territory.

If a war breaks out between the two sides, they must first attack each other from the sea, which is the advice given by Wang Tiehammer, first use the navy to destroy the coastal defense forces of the Dutch, and then carry out landing operations.

You must know that Australia's artillery has always been much longer than the Dutch, although the exported 26-pounder guns have given them a lot of help to a certain extent, enhancing their defense, but Australia has a longer range and more powerful artillery, which is an indisputable fact.

In any case, it depends now on whether the Dutch have gone crazy and whether they will attack first, after all, the target of this attack is not them, but if one of their nerves is wrong, it is also possible.

From the report that Li Zhiqing fed back, it can be seen that the Dutch were very disgusted with Australia's dispatch of troops to Luzon, and asked it to guarantee that the number of troops would not exceed 1,000.

This kind of serious interference in Australia's internal affairs, the Dutch put it forward, in fact, it is inappropriate, and in later generations it is to interfere in the internal affairs of others.

Australia will not let him know how many troops it has sent out, at least on the surface, but the real strength will definitely exceed 1,000 troops.

The number of people in this battle is the largest, and it is certainly impossible to obey their arrangement, because Australia is a big country, and it is necessary to erect the demeanor of a great power.

In a place in Luzon to say that the closest is Spain, you Dutch control other people's territory, this is to despise Manila.

Therefore, judging from the above judgment, if the Dutch provoke a war first, they may really be crazy, and Australia can completely unite with Spain to fight against them.

In any case, the Australian expeditionary force had swaggered past the docks in Batavia, and all the ships had their guns pointed at the shore.

This is also a protest against them, and it is not so easy for them to talk to the Australians.

Although Li Zhiqing is still negotiating with them, the Australian troops will not stop, and the Australian troops will go directly into Luzon, so that the Dutch know that the negotiations with them are out of trust between allies, not afraid of them, and in terms of military strength, with Australia's current military strength, it is still capable of taking Batavia.

With more than 1,000 army troops, it is not very difficult to deal with the city defense troops of nearly 2,000 people in Batavia, after all, there is a gap in weapons between the two sides, and this gap is the certainty of victory.

As the commander of the operation, Fu and Lin held a detailed discussion with a group of officers in the landing money.

"We're going to land in a few hours, and after that, there will be a short rest and resupply, and a battalion will set out from the base in Luzon to launch a joint attack with ground forces against the natives in the north. Another battalion of troops will board the ship and form an encirclement from the south, and finally encircle the natives within our circle of operations. ”

The second battalion is in charge of Lu Yong and Li Hongliang, and I will add some men from the first battalion to your battalion, and the two of you will each lead a unit to form an encirclement.

After briefly talking about the combat mission, Fu and Lin confirmed that there was no problem, and then distributed the leader of the student soldiers, Sun Chuanting, Brigadier General Sun, you and the academy of the academy will follow us to clean up the battlefield and maintain stability.

Sun Chuanting didn't know much about Australia's combat methods, so he didn't have any opinions, so he had to nod his head and agree.

Let him take the student soldiers behind, because he feels that he has the ability, and it is also to ensure the safety of these future grassroots seedlings.

After all, student soldiers are students, and they can't be compared with regular soldiers, and if they fight more times in the future, they are afraid that they will not have the opportunity to participate. So now there is no rush this time.

After instructing everyone, Fu and Lin then contacted the navy on Sun Yang's side, this time the navy was an auxiliary operation, not the main force, and their main task was to send people to the shore and bombard the indigenous tribes on the shore.

Of course, this kind of bombardment played a small role in Fu Helin's opinion, after all, the indigenous tribes were a minority near the coast, and the main battle still needed their army to carry out, and this time they were the protagonists.

But fortunately, Sun Yang didn't mean to take credit for him, otherwise maybe the navy would also send a team of people to participate in the battle ashore, then it would really not be their army's battlefield, and the navy could also say that they fought at sea and fought on the shore at the same time, this credit is the greatest, should you give us the most rewards.

Fortunately, the navy didn't have this idea, otherwise Fu Helin would really be a little crying.
