"The Chinese are crazy! How dare they? How dare you really attack Batavia? Aren't you afraid that the Netherlands will really join the British side in declaring war on China? ", the Governor of the Dutch East Indies cried out in despair. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than ten ships of the Chinese Navy suddenly blocked the port of Batavia uninvited, and also issued an ultimatum to the Dutch East India Governor's Office, no longer renting the Batavia naval base as previously requested, but ordering it to surrender immediately, and the Chinese want the entire Dutch East Indies!

The Dutch governor knew that he had persecuted the Chinese many times since he took office, and he was afraid of reprisals after surrendering, and that the British fleet would be coming in a few months, so maybe he could hold on?

With such delusions and the desire to become heroes, the Dutch governor gave the order to counterattack, but what he did not expect was that the coastal batteries in Batavia, which had been in disrepair for a long time, were quickly silenced by the new naval guns of the Chinese navy, and all the Dutch ships in the harbor were sunk without even having a chance to raise the white flag......

"It's not all a good thing that the firepower of the Haitian-class patrol is too fierce, there is no chance of capturing the enemy ship at all, as long as it is targeted, there is no chance of survival, and it is estimated that it will not be able to improve until the defense patrol is completely eliminated......", Deng Shichang looked at a Dutch warship whose white flag was only halfway raised, but the deck had already submerged under the water, and couldn't help but shake his head regretfully.

It may be that he is not accustomed to the water and soil after coming to Singapore, or it may be that there are too many dead people in the city and the local epidemic caused by heat and rain. At this time, Deng Shichang arrived in Singapore with three brigades of reinforcements, and Liu Buyun wanted Deng Shichang to temporarily command himself in order to make up for the regret that Deng Shichang missed the Singapore Campaign, which was approved by the political commissar Zhou Chunyu. At this time, another order was sent from China to attack Batavia, so Deng Shichang went to sea non-stop with the Singapore fleet that he had just taken over and the Second Marine Brigade, which had just been formed for less than a month.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Deng Shichang was disappointed that the Dutch Navy was so vulnerable, and this credit was simply picked up for nothing, and there was no sense of accomplishment at all......

Thinking of this, Deng Shichang couldn't help laughing and laughed at himself, "It seems that I am still not mature enough, fighting is for victory, not to make generals famous, from the perspective of the country, it is best to be so easy in every battle." ”

But this is just a beautiful fantasy, in fact, Deng Shichang is a little worried now, the naval battle is easy to win, but if the land battle is not fought well, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of occupying Batavia, I hope there is no need to cover it with naval artillery fire again, this is not sympathetic to the citizens of Batavia, but distressed silver......

If he had brought one of the other two brigades, Deng Shichang would not have been so bottomless, but Zhou Chunyu said that the Marine Brigade was a unit specially used for attack, and the military discipline was not very good, so it was not appropriate to stay in Singapore to watch his family......

However, Deng Shichang obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Second Marine Brigade, although the recruits in the team have only just learned to shoot guns and fight stabs, and even the queue is not good, but all the technical arms and officers above the platoon level in the team are biochemical soldiers with excellent military quality (there are also a very small number of troops transferred from other units, but the proportion is not large, because the positioning of the Second Marine Brigade is to fight in the tropics, so the officers and soldiers are basically from the Lingnan region, and they can only rely on biochemical troops for the time being. Not long ago, the officers and men of the grass-roots Marine Brigade, who were basically fishermen, fully displayed the ruthlessness in their bones, and the enemy troops who fought stubbornly cried and cried out for their mothers.

"Sure enough, it's 'the brave who meets on the narrow road wins', as long as the enemy can't get out of the queue, he won't lose the bayonet, Dongyang chose fishermen to be the marines is really right, this brave and ruthless temperament is born to be a soldier." , Deng Shichang exclaimed after reading the report, but Han Duan, the deputy political commissar of the Ocean Fleet on the side, sneered, "Zhengqing, don't be in a hurry to praise these cubs, although they have a certain combat effectiveness when they are used immediately, they can't be regarded as an army now, and they are still decent when they fight, and they will ...... as soon as the battle is over."

In less than half an hour, the Dutch troops in Batavia gave up their resistance and surrendered to the 2nd Marine Brigade under the leadership of the most senior remaining officers. It's just that there are many Javanese soldiers who rely on themselves to be locals, and most of them fled to the homes of relatives and friends in the city to hide after seeing that they were defeated......

The Marine Brigade immediately imposed martial law on Batavia, and before the end of martial law, any residents who took to the streets without permission would be directly killed; Then there is the dragnet house-to-house search, as long as a gun is found, the entire occupant of the house has to go to the temporary shelter to verify their identity, if they refuse to cooperate, they will all be killed on the spot, and their families will be affected; And if even the gun is lost, then even if it has indeed been a dogleg to the colonial authorities before, the Marine Brigade will not pursue it.

After several days of hard work, the Marine Brigade killed more than 10,000 rebels and "potential rebels" and took full control of the largest city in the South Seas, but the Marines themselves lost several hundred men. However, it must be noted that the vast majority of these people were executed for violating military discipline, and only about 100 people were killed by the attacks of the rebels......

"Thanks to the early precautions, I watched more closely, otherwise I really don't know how many people violated discipline." , Han Duan took the report and looked at it, he couldn't help shaking his head again and again, and handed it to Deng Shichang, who was the chief general, with a wry smile.

Deng Shichang is more open-minded, "It took so much time to train and go to the battlefield, only so many people violated discipline, which is already good, at least it is much better than the Qing army that 'has passed like a grate'......"

Han Duan suddenly scolded angrily, "How can you compare with the old army? No matter how bad the discipline of the Marine Corps is, it is also the people's army! ”

Deng Shichang suddenly smiled, although he was forced to "revolt" at the beginning, but unexpectedly really found a home, the current Chinese Navy is not only an officer who pays attention to military discipline, but from top to bottom all are strict management of the army, although the cruelty has decreased, but the meticulous management is far better than before, and the effect is immediate, in fact, this is the fundamental reason why the Chinese Navy is now invincible in the world!
