Chapter 107: The Fleet Falls

After receiving the order, the ships of the Second Fleet fired a third round of torpedoes, firing flares at the same time, and constantly striking the enemy with naval guns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rumble! The sound of cannon fire kept coming.

Soon, with a loud bang, two torpedoes hit a Dutch destroyer, and the huge explosion wave directly amputated the destroyer, and many Dutch sailors on the battleship were instantly shocked to death. In less than two minutes, the destroyer, with a displacement of about two thousand tons, sank.

There were torpedoes everywhere under the water, and only loud explosions could be heard. Another destroyer was hit by two torpedoes, was blown in two, the hull broke off from the middle, and then two warped and sank to the bottom of the sea in two sections.

More than 10 cruisers of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, more than 10 destroyers, were hit one after another in a matter of minutes, and the sea was full of Dutch sailors who had fallen overboard, and some were swept away by the spiral sockets that formed as the hull sank. I saw that they were constantly struggling on the surface of the sea, but they were a little like ducks fluttering on the water.

The East India Fleet was torpedoed by three rounds of torpedoes, and only a few battleships were not torpedoed, and many of them continued to explode. The Second Fleet has now begun to shell again, which is undoubtedly worse for the East India Fleet.

Boom! The Second Fleet began the second round of shelling, and the gunners of each ship, with the help of flares, calculated the impact point very accurately.

The East India Fleet, which had originally wanted to sneak attack, was now completely in a situation of passive attack, and after the fourth round of shelling by the Second Fleet, many battleships that had not yet sunk were also hit by merciless shells, and the shells of the Second Fleet kept smacking like rain.

Boom! The flagship of the East India Fleet, the Queen Wilhelmina, was hit by two shells, both of which landed on the deck, and the violent explosion immediately tore two large holes several meters into the fragile deck of the Queen Wilhelmina, and many of the Dutch sailors standing on the deck were either killed on the spot or directly shocked.

The foredeck of the Queen Wilhelmina was littered with severed limbs, blood gullies, and some of the wounded who were not yet imminently dead were groaning and screaming in pain.

"Rescue the wounded!" The second mate was shocked for a while, and then immediately ordered.

Just as several doctors were about to step forward to rescue the wounded, boom! With a loud bang, a cannonball landed on the foredeck and exploded violently....

The fifth and sixth rounds of shells of the Second Fleet seemed to have eyes, and one shell after another landed accurately on those battleships that had not yet sunk, and explosions continued to be heard from the East India Fleet. At the same time, heart-rending shouts were constantly heard.

Many of the Dutch sailors were blown up, and after a while, some of the Dutch sailors kept jumping into the sea like dumplings. These Dutch sailors are not stupid, it is very dangerous to stay on a battleship, and perhaps it is safest to jump into the sea.

Of course, there are also many diehards who remain on the battleship, and they want to live and die with the battleship.

The adjutant Mexie was already frightened, and at this time he was standing on the Cambridge with a pale face and messy hair.

"Your Excellency, we have been tricked and have been surrounded." Mexie said with a shudder.

"I know!" Admiral Odyssko said coldly. I thought that a sneak attack might be able to reverse the situation of being passively beaten, but I didn't expect to fall into the encirclement of the opponent instead. After being fired at by the torpedoes and naval guns of the warships of the Chinese Kingdom, the East India Fleet suffered heavy casualties, and was even more surrounded by the opponent, and Admiral Odysscoe already knew the fate of the East India Fleet in his heart.

"Your Excellency! Let's surrender! Mexie didn't want to die like this, the countless possessions in the house were still waiting to be squandered, and a few beautiful maids were waiting to be enjoyed. It was obviously very unwise to follow the East India Fleet to accompany the burial.

"Shut up!" Admiral Odyssko pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Mexi's head, shouting angrily. "Order, fire back!" Admiral Odyssko ordered.

Boom! The East India Fleet had only a few warships that could still fire back, and in the panic, the hit rate was simply impossible.

On the flagship of the Zheng He of the Second Fleet, Sun Hao saw through the telescope and with the help of flares, countless Dutch warships were catching fire, exploding, and sinking. After looking at these, Sun Hao's heart was extremely happy.

The Dutch just deserve to die, without their instruction and their oppression, the Chinese living in Nanyang would not have died so unjustly. With the ingenuity of the Chinese, they can live better. However, many Chinese who had earned some wealth were killed by the Dutch, or by the local natives.

Blood debts must be tasted by blood debts, and they must use iron-blooded means to deter Western countries, otherwise it will be difficult for the Chinese living in those countries to be protected at all.

Whether it was Lu Ping or Chief of Staff Shen Jun, everyone looked into the distance with excitement.

The Dutch battleships were constantly hit and exploded, like a cluster of brilliant fireworks, and in the darkness of the night, those fireworks were particularly dazzling and beautiful.

"Commander-in-Chief, you can send some destroyers to slaughter those troop carriers." Shen Jun reminded on the side.

"Yes! Ordered to send 15 destroyers to encircle and suppress the Dutch troop carriers, and to take as many prisoners as we could, and after we conquered the islands, we needed a lot of free labor. Sun Hao said with a smile. Tens of thousands of captives, that is an infinite amount of wealth, and it is necessary for them to create wealth for the Huaxia Kingdom.

Soon, after receiving the order, the 15 destroyers immediately left the battlefield and headed north at high speed.

After the destroyers left the battlefield, it did not affect the continuation of the war, at this time, the East India Fleet was about to be subverted, and only a few wounded warships were still in the dying struggle.

Countless cannonballs from the Second Fleet were constantly flying in the air, and against the backdrop of the night, like countless meteors, they kept streaking across the night sky.

Boom! The sound of naval guns continued to sound, and countless shells continued to smack at the Dutch East India Fleet, which had only a few warships left....

This is a strange war, the naval night battle, this is a rare night battle of large fleets in history, it is definitely a textbook war, but it is a pity that the British and the United States observation ships have long been evacuated, and there is no chance to enjoy such a wonderful night battle.

Half an hour later, the few remaining ships of the East India Fleet were all sunk, including their flagship. The sea was littered with the corpses of Dutch sailors, debris left behind by the explosion of the battleship, etc.

A large-scale naval battle since entering the steam age ended in this way, and the Dutch East India Fleet sank to the bottom of the sea in this way, perhaps to death, all the officers and men of the East India Fleet could not understand why the torpedoes of the Second Fleet of the Huaxia Kingdom were so powerful? Why are their battleships so massive? Why is the range of their naval guns so accurate?
