readx;?? The next thing is to clean up the battlefield, and under Sun Hao's beheed, deal with those wounded Dutch sailors with one shot, so that they don't suffer and go to see their God as soon as possible. The sailors who were intact were all imprisoned on www.biquge.info ship. These were free labor after the islands were conquered, and people needed to do it to build roads and bridges, and these prisoners of war solved this problem.

After dawn, all the results of the battle were counted, and a total of more than 40,000 prisoners of war were captured, including more than 30,000 Nanyang indigenous troops. 106 troop carriers, merchant ships, 14 gunboats, countless guns and ammunition were captured, but no battleships were captured. More than 20 people were killed and more than 40 wounded in the Second Fleet, all of which were caused by the indiscriminate artillery fire of the East India Fleet. In such a big naval battle, the casualties of the Second Fleet of Huaxia Kingdom were so small, which has to be said to be a miracle.

At 10 a.m., the Second Fleet and its troop carriers sailed in the direction of Cannes, while the First Fleet headed north, preparing to attack the other islands.

The city of Cannes is the center of the Dutch island colony of Papua, and there is an infantry division of soldiers, the commander of which is Van Gandev, 48 years old, with more than 20 years of military experience. There is a port here in the city of Cannes, and Van Gandev thought that it was a better errand to garrison the city of Cannes, with more oil and water, so he spent money to transfer it to garrison here.

At five o'clock in the morning on June 18, 1909, in the Ala Sea, the southeast monsoon wind blew on the sea, and the rising sun shone obliquely on the sea, rising a light mist, and the scenery was very beautiful and charming. A huge fleet was breaking the waves, followed by hundreds of troop carriers.

At half past five in the morning, the huge fleet of the Chinese Navy came to the open sea of Cannes. At this moment, although the sky is not yet bright, you can already see the situation on the sea. The appearance of a large number of Huaxia fleets was not discovered by He Lanjun. I'm still asleep! The sentries on the beach also took a nap with a gun.

The commander-in-chief in charge of this attack on Cannes is Han Baojia, the commander of the Fourth Army, and although Lu Ping, the commander-in-chief of the Second Fleet, has a higher position than Han Baojia, she is not an expert in land operations, so she has no complaints about Sun Hao's arrangement like this, anyway, his fleet is only cooperating with the land landing operation and shelling the Dutch positions and shore defense artillery positions.

Sun Hao was a little worried that the naval artillery would hurt the Chinese in Cannes, so he ordered the landing force to attack from a small town called Haiya next to Cannes. This town is not far from the city of Cannes, so that the Dutch army in the city of Cannes can be mobilized to come to the rescue, as long as the infantry division in the city of Cannes comes to the rescue, then the city of Cannes will become an empty city.

The Second Fleet had been divided into three fleets, one to cover the 12th Division of the Sixth Army for the attack on the town of Haiya, the other for the 14th Division to attack the city of Cannes, and the last for the 13th Division to attack a small town called Para. It is a bit of a fuss to attack a small town with one division, but Shen Jun, the chief of the general staff, let the 14th and 13th divisions continue to advance to other small towns after taking two small towns.

Han Baojia asked the 12th Division of the Sixth Army to attack the town of Haiya, and the 14th Division followed another small detachment with the task of waiting for the defenders of Cannes to leave the city to reinforce Haiya Town, and then make a surprise attack and take the opportunity to capture the city of Cannes.

The Chinese naval fleet drove to a position 5 kilometers from the coast and prepared to carry out artillery strikes. The 12th Division was also ready for the landing, and Han Baojia, the commander of this landing operation, gave the order to attack.

The three battle cruisers, led by the Yangtze River, began to sail towards the coastal waters of Haiya with several destroyers and cruisers. Transport ships carrying the 12th Division also followed. After the artillery fire of the battleships is over, the 12th Division will begin to land.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! There was a loud bang on the beach, a shrill howl kept ringing, and a violent explosion sounded at the beachhead of Haiya.

Rumble! The shells exploded, and the improvised fortifications that Haiya Town had to defend against the sea were destroyed in the explosion. On the surface of the sea, the huge, small mountain-like steel monster was constantly firing.

The heavy artillery fire woke up all the Dutch soldiers who were still sleeping, and the first round of shelling did not kill many Dutch soldiers.

A Dutch soldier, awakened by a violent explosion, rubbed his hazy eyes and immediately looked through a telescope to see what was going on in the sea. When he saw the huge battleship on the sea, the soldier cried out in horror: "O God! Which country's warship is this? ”

"What's going on?" A battalion commander stationed in the town of Haiya asked. But then he was speechless in horror.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! More than 20 warships anchored on the sea, led by the Yangtze River Patrol Patrol, continued to bombard the Haiya beachhead and coastal defense artillery positions, and after a few minutes, this place became a sea of fire. A lot of Dutch soldiers on the beach, already scared silly.

"Damn, send a message to the division headquarters, hurry up and get me into position, the battalion commander ordered loudly. However, the panicked soldiers were already frightened, holding rifles in their hands, but their feet did not know how to move, and many Dutch soldiers' feet were even trembling.

The power of the 380-mm naval gun is really not covered, and when a shell goes down, there is no living thing in the surrounding area of dozens of square meters, and there is a large crater several meters in diameter where the ground explodes. The fortifications could not defend against the large-caliber naval guns of the Navy at all, and in the shelling, the 20th Battalion of the 11th Division of the Dutch Army suffered very heavy losses. The infantry battalion of more than 800 people almost all died in the shelling.

On the battle patrol of the Yangtze River, Han Baojia saw through the telescope that the shells smashed into the positions of the Dutch Army, and the corpses were scattered all over the field, and the earth was flying. Shocking, this absolute shock.

This is simply an asymmetrical battle, the beachhead of Haiya Town, and the shore defense position are under the fierce blows of the Huaxia fleet, and it is already difficult to see the living Dutch soldiers. Under the heavy shelling of dozens of warships, the Dutch soldiers were not able to fight back at all.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands did not have much strength in the northwest of the Papua Islands, so it sent the East India Fleet and tens of thousands of army troops to support, but unfortunately the East India Fleet and tens of thousands of army troops did not reach the Papua Islands, and they were all sunk or captured by the Second Fleet of the Chinese State.

For the small town of Haiya, the defenders of an infantry battalion are definitely heavily defended. However, for the Second Fleet and the 14th Division, the strength of the infantry cannot be compared at all.

The Dutch infantry was poorly equipped and was no match even in the face of the relative number of land forces of the Chinese State. The Chinese Army is an army unit equipped with countless artillery, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and sniper rifles, and it is definitely an army unit armed to the teeth.
