Chapter 054: Attack on Taiwan Island

(I've had something at home in the past two days, I'm sorry everyone!) )

After beating the Japanese fleet, Zhuo Shijie ordered the soldiers to rest and prepare for the attack on the Dutch forces on Taiwan Island. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before attacking Taiwan, Zhuo Shijie met with Anne alone.

After the total annihilation of the Japanese fleet, Zhuo Shijie gained another 2 points of intimacy, and now his intimacy with the planetary explorers has increased to more than 5 points.

Since his planetary exploration was not bought with real money, he could only slowly cultivate and increase his fit, which was the only disadvantage of high intelligence.

In the spacious and luxurious office, Zhuo Shijie arranged a new task for Anne.

"We will have a tough battle to fight when we go to Taiwan this time, but it is likely that we will face greater challenges than this tough battle."

The Dutch East India Company currently occupies only the southern part of the Netherlands, while most of the northern part is still occupied by Spain.

Although Spain is an old empire in the twilight of the sun, its strength is still very strong, as far as Zhuo Shijie knows, until the nineteenth century, when the British Empire was known as the empire on which the sun never sets, Spain still had colonies in the world, which can still be compared with the United Kingdom.

More than ten years ago, in 1624, after the Dutch East India Company occupied the island, the Spanish maritime traffic was seriously threatened, and in the same year, they also sent a fleet to the northern region of the chicken coop harbor and built Keelung City.

Later, the Spaniards continued to send troops to Taiwan and took control of most of the northern region.

Of course, the Dutch did not want a wolf on the side of the couch, so a year later, they sent troops to attack the Spanish garrison on Taiwan Island, but the Spaniards resisted stubbornly, and the Dutch returned in vain.

Of course, the Spaniards were eventually driven out of Taiwan by the Dutch, but that was a year later, in 1641.

At this time, on Taiwan Island, there is the emerging empire of the Netherlands in the south and the old empire of Spain in the north, and once Zhuo Shijie enters Taiwan Island, he will inevitably face the military pressure of these two countries.

Therefore, Zhuo Shijie is now in great need of weapons and equipment for land warfare.

"Let's start with five tanks, although World War II tanks are not very advanced, but, in this era, it is always right to call them the kings of land warfare."

Anne asked, "So, which tank does the commander want to use?" ”

Zhuo Shijie thought about it, there are too many types of tanks in World War II, Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union, the United States and Japan, these military powers have main battle tanks that can be used, and the performance and power are okay.

But to say that the more outstanding, it seems that only the Soviet T34 and the German Tiger are the most famous.

"The German weapons are well-made and beautifully styled, while the Soviet ones are a little rough, just the German Tiger type, let's get five first!"

The German Tiger tank, weighing more than fifty tons, is a heavy tank, with thick armor and fierce firepower, and is the king of standard land warfare.

Although the Soviet Union had several other tanks other than the T34 with strong performance, Zhuo Shijie still preferred to use German-style equipment. After all, things produced in Germany have always had a good reputation, unlike the Soviet Union, in addition to durable leather, humanized design and failure rate have always been criticized.

"How many days does this tank build a tank?"

Anne replied, "It can be built in about a day." ”

When Zhuo Shijie heard this, he had a bottom in his heart: "Then you build two first, and you may be able to use it to attack Taiwan Island." ”

Two days later, Zhuo Shijie led most of the men and horses, almost all of them set out, and took three large and small warships to set sail towards Taiwan Island.

Only Jiang cannon and five or six sentries were left on the island, and he had just defeated the Japanese fleet, so no one should be looking for trouble with him at this time, with Jiang cannon and his battery, it would definitely be no problem to deal with the general fleet.

An old destroyer, two small gunboats, and dozens of people rushed to Taiwan Island.

Although there are only a few dozen people, Zhuo Shijie is confident that he will defeat the Dutch defenders and occupy the southern region of Taiwan, which is the real equipment crushing.

After more than ten hours of sailing, the three warships approached the island, and they did not land directly, but continued to advance, bypassing the southern tip of the island and sailing towards Fort Geranza, which is now Anping.

The Dutch had a number of strongholds and castles in the southern part of the island, but their most important stronghold was the political and economic center of Fort Geranza.

Since he wants to fight, Zhuo Shijie will make a meritorious contribution with one blow, as long as he pulls out the Dutch army in Fort Geranza and takes down their governor, there will be no waves left with those small Dutch troops.

Since the time of arrival had been calculated for a long time, it was about eight or nine o'clock in the morning when I arrived at Fort Geranza.

The waters around Taiwan Island are not as quiet as Black Wind Island, and although Taiwan Island is not very prosperous now, the population is not small, and the sea is full of fishermen driving fishing boats.

When these people saw these three warships, they all looked at them with curiosity, and it was the first time they had seen a ship of this style.

"Look at those three boats, they don't seem to be made of wood."

"yes, I think they look like iron ships?"

"I look like, how can such a big iron lump still float on the water?"

Some people talked a lot about the few guns on the ship, and they didn't know what they were.

In short, these three ships did not look like fishing or warships, but they were cargo ships, and they seemed to be full of messes, and there was no place to put their goods.

But when they got closer, they saw the uniform clothes of the men on board, and the spears in their hands.

"It's like a warship! O warship! How can there be such a strange warship? Not even a cannon! ”

"Why not? Look at the iron pipe in front of you, isn't it the muzzle? ”

"That's too small, isn't it? Cannons, aren't they all very thick tubes? Look at this, slender and long, even if it is a cannon, it must not be powerful, right? ”

In the midst of the fishermen's discussions, suddenly, the long, slender and powerless muzzle of the cannon in their mouths suddenly "Boom! There was a loud bang.

"Oh my god! What a cannon! What a cannon! ”

"It's scary! Who are they firing at whom? ”

In this era, this sea area, for decades, pirates, governments, and foreign powers, there were often battles between them, although not many people saw naval battles with their own eyes, but they often heard of it, so fishermen also knew a little about warships.

At the moment, these three strange-looking warships suddenly opened fire, who are they fighting? It can fight two or three miles at most, but within these two or three miles, there are only these fishing boats.

"Not good! Are they attacking our fishing boats? ”

"Run! Cannonballs don't have eyes! ”

The boats were all panicked, and hurriedly began to pack up their nets, and nothing mattered for their lives.

But soon they realized that something was wrong, the ships had been fired, but no one saw the water from the shells in the sea, nor did they see any fishing boats being hit.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look! Castle of Geland! Castle of Geland! ”
