Chapter 039: The Great Soldier Pressed the Realm
On the foredeck of the 850-ton sail giant ship "Golden Bird", Colonel Albert stood in the wind, full of spirit and ambition. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After his unremitting efforts, he finally moved the mind of Vanderberg, the governor of Taiwan Island, and ordered him to lead the main fleet of the Taiwan Navy to Black Wind Island to suppress bandits.
The Dutchman has a relationship with Black Whirlwind's old boss, Liu Xiang.
At that time, the Dutch united with Zheng Zhilong's old subordinate Liu Xiang and tried in vain to attack Xiamen, and the defenders were Zheng Zhilong and the Ming Dynasty naval fleet, and the two sides had a huge naval battle.
Zheng Zhilong, who had defected to the Ming Dynasty, led more than 50 large warships under his command, plus countless small and medium-sized ships, and fought a fierce battle with the Dutch together with the fleet of the Ming Navy.
The Dutch, with nine main warships and the pirate troops of Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong's old department, engaged Zheng Zhilong in a fierce firefight.
In the end, it ended with the victory of the Ming Navy led by Zheng Zhilong, which was also the first time that the Zheng family faced off against the Dutch.
In this battle, the fleets of both sides were very large, and the battle was also impressive, but the final result was very suspicious.
According to research, Zheng Zhilong's results in this battle were: burning a Dutch boat and capturing a boat.
Look clearly, small boats, not large warships!
It can also be seen from this naval battle that Liu Xiang, the old boss of Black Whirlwind, has a very good relationship with the Dutch, and can even be said to be embarrassed.
Therefore, Albert's expedition this time is nominally to avenge the old Black Whirlwind, an ally of his former allies.
Given that Black Whirlwind is vulnerable to the enemy (Black Whirlwind: I've already put out twelve points of strength, this is still a light enemy!?) And the profound lesson of the annihilation of the whole army, Albert this time, almost pulled out the main force of the Taiwan Navy, in order to complete the battle.
In addition to the two main battleships, there were also eight large 400-ton warships, each with more than 40 guns, and four high-speed sailboats with the fleet.
This lineup, in East Asia, can almost go sideways.
Navy warships have a strong intimidating power, for example, the Spaniards on Luzon Island in the Philippines have only stationed one giant warship on Luzon Island for a long time, and it is this only warship that makes many surrounding countries dare not act rashly.
Albert was proud of Zhuo Shijie at this time: so many Dutch warships came, you should die without regrets, and even feel honored!
"Our main target is their two small gunboats, pay attention, the first task is to surround their dock and prevent those two gunboats from escaping!" Colonel Albert once again reiterated the purpose of the battle.
At this time, on Black Wind Island, Zhuo Shijie was nervously deploying for battle.
"Marine Brigade 1, you are hiding near the docks, pay attention, look for obstacles to provide cover."
"Second squad, you are lying in ambush on the mountain, waiting for my orders."
"Third squad, you guys stay in the base."
Several squad leaders took the order.
"Colonel Jack, Lieutenant Colonel Andre, you two, go to the top of that mountain to the east and operate that 105mm howitzer together."
The 105mm howitzer needs at least two people to operate at the same time, and in the absence of more people who know how to fire the gun, only one can be used at the moment.
However, Zhuo Shijie is not very worried, the 130-mm battery of the Jiang cannon is not a vegetarian, and its range of more than 20 kilometers is twice as high as that of the 105-mm gun, and the 105-mm gun may not even have a chance to fire.
"Annie, you come with me to the Bird, I'll pilot, you shoot!"
Fighting with Annie can increase intimacy, and Zhuo Shijie will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
Seeing that Zhuo Shijie had finished assigning tasks to everyone, Hong Zhi and Liu Laoliu were anxious.
"Commander, what about the two of us?"
They didn't say it, Zhuo Shijie really almost forgot about them, he frowned and said: "You don't have to go into battle in person, in my opinion, you just need to command it here." ”
Liu Lao Liu immediately became angry: "Commander, you look down on people, don't you?" Say, since Princess Anne came, have you started to think we're getting in the way? As long as you say a word, the two of us will leave immediately! ”
Hong Zhi also nodded again and again: "Yes, what the three masters said is very true, and this is also my heartfelt words!" ”
Zhuo Shijie immediately turned his face: "Who said this?" Who dislikes you? I'm not afraid you'll miss something! You are the backbone of our army, if you have three longs and two shorts, who will I consult with in the future? ”
He thought for a moment and softened his tone: "Then why don't you do it, since you want to fight, then you can pilot the Exocet to the eastern waters of the island, remember, you only need to disturb the attention of the enemy ships, and you must not easily engage the enemy!" Safety is the most important thing, remember! ”
Liu Laoliu and Hong Zhi were immediately overjoyed, these days, they have also followed everyone to board the gunboat to learn operation skills, and they have long been looking forward to being able to drive the boat to fire a few cannons, and today, they have finally achieved their wish!
Zhuo Shijie transferred ten soldiers from the Marine Corps and sent them to Liu Laoliu's Flying Fish gunboat. In case of distress, the rifles in the hands of these soldiers can withstand for a while.
After arranging everyone, Zhuo Shijie and Anne went to the docks, boarded the Bird, and sailed towards the Dutch fleet.
In fact, Zhuo Shijie drove a gunboat to sea, and he himself felt that it was an extra move.
He believed that the most secure tactic was undoubtedly to hold on to Black Wind Island, and when the enemy fleet came into the range of artillery, he could just open fire and bombard.
But in order to fight with Anne and increase intimacy, he only has to participate in actual combat more, which can increase intimacy on the one hand, and increase his actual combat experience on the other.
The two gunboats on the dock all left the dock, and the Asuka piloted by Zhuo Shijie made a detour from the west side of the Black Island and rushed towards the left flank of the Dutch fleet. The Flying Fish, piloted by Hong Zhi and Liu Laoliu, sailed from the opposite direction to the right wing of the Dutch fleet.
Colonel Albert, the commander of the Dutch fleet, was observing the movements on Black Wind Island with a monocular, when suddenly his face changed and he roared, "Damn it! These two small gunboats want to escape from Blackwind Island! ”
His face was cloudy, and he said secretly: Could it be that someone leaked the news? The people on Black Wind Island already knew that his purpose was not Black Wind Island, but those two gunboats?
Albert was a little anxious, they had spent a lot of energy on this move, and if the two ships all escaped, it would be a big loss.
His mind spun in circles, thinking of a course of action.
"Divide your troops into two ways to pursue? That doesn't seem good! ”
"The army is all pressing on Black Wind Island, forcing these two ships to take the initiative to show up?"
Just thinking about it, Albert's eyes suddenly widened, the two boats did not escape!
Instead of fleeing, they outflanked their own fleet, one left and one right.
"Hahaha......"
Albert burst into laughter, tears streaming down his eyes.
"These unscrupulous people, are you trying to commit suicide?"
