"Climb down-" Carl dropped the telescope in his hand and crawled to the ground with a scream.!! Because he saw a red light burst out of the Qing fleet. Viv didn't know why, but he quickly crawled on the ground. A loud "bang" was followed by the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. Before he could understand what was happening, he saw Carl fly by and get up, holding a telescope and looking at the sea again.

Karl said in a trembling voice: "It's the Qing Kingdom, and the Qing Kingdom's fleet is firing at us. ”

"Lord Governor, are you saying that the Qing Kingdom is attacking us, but the Qing Kingdom is going to war with the Netherlands?" Viv thought it was a little incredible. What he didn't expect was that Governor Karl said in a sharp voice: "Run." ”

It's late, it's still late. Before Karl could reach the door, the whistling shells had already arrived. The collapsed house crushed the two men underneath.

Looking at the top of the hill that had been covered by artillery fire, Feng Qi gave an order: "The destroyer sweeps the dock, covers the cargo ship to dock, and the marines land." ”

The sudden artillery fire made the arrogant Dutch who thought that the Qing Kingdom did not dare to start a war did not react, and the Governor's Palace, which was destroyed in an instant, and the coastal defense batteries destroyed by precise artillery fire made the Dutch lose their claim. The officers couldn't find the soldiers, the soldiers couldn't find the officers, and everyone was in a mess. The natives were also in disarray, and when they were immersed in the excitement of plundering the lives and wealth of the Chinese, they were dazed by the sudden cannonballs. The 203-millimeter heavy artillery, which was a pit of several meters when it went down, completely suppressed the people on both sides who were in the confrontation. The Chinese were also confused, and when they learned that these shells were fired by the imperial fleet, the Chinese burst out with great courage. The Chinese who were once chased by the natives and evaded in all directions. Now I picked up the wooden sticks and stones around me, and finally started the counterattack of the Chinese towards the natives and the Dutch in the most convenient way.

The whole of Batavia was in the midst of war, and the Dutch, natives, and Chinese were all in the midst of an unorganized melee. But in the distance, in a well-camouflaged cave on a hill. But there were two exceptionally calm people.

The man standing at the entrance of the cave held up the telescope and said calmly: "The No. 13 target test shell landed 200 meters to the left. ”

The person sitting in front of the transmitter inside repeated the words "the No. 13 target test shell landed 200 meters to the left," and at the same time pressed the telegraph button to transmit the message in a tick-tock sound. Soon, the fleet, having received this information, immediately adjusted the shelling of Zhuyuan and covered the No. 13 target with saturated artillery.

Ten minutes, just ten minutes. The Dutch Far East Fleet, which once covered the Kajang, has disappeared from this river, with only the fragments of wood and the Dutch sailors who did not know their lives after falling into the water. Pushing away the splinters of wood scattered across the river, ignoring the cries for help from the Dutch soldiers who fell into the water. The destroyers, with rapid-fire guns as the main ones, began to sweep the docks.

"Order: the artillery is extended, destroyed one by one in the order of the coordinates of the shelling. Cover the landing of the marines. "Now that the Dutch Far East Fleet is gone, Wu Deren has issued a new order.

"Your Excellency. Received a telegram. The telegram demanded a round of shelling of the coordinates. "The Communications Officer came to report.

Wu Deren took the telegram, and after finding the location shown in the coordinates on the map, he nodded: "Let the main gun in front of the Longyin carry it out." ”

"Close the door." When the last Chinese who had been hiding in the mansion came in, the door of the Li Mansion slammed shut. Then the earth bales were quickly piled up behind the gate. Li Guanshan is extremely decadent at the moment.

The Chinese who thought that there were new firearms, that there were cannons, and that the number of Chinese was far from the majority. It will be a victory with great momentum. Still miscalculated. A thousand pigs are more powerful than ten hunters, but everyone knows that even two thousand pigs can't beat ten hunters. A rabble is a rabble, and once the situation collapses, the general trend will be gone. Once the idea of self-preservation prevails, all plans and ideas will be useless.

The natives and the Dutch have already drained the water of Li Fuwei, and the Chinese have no way to retreat. The Chinese besieged in the Li Mansion mustered up the last courage, and the chaotic gunfire of ping-pong finally repelled the attack of the natives. Just because the Dutch and the natives retreated did not mean that they would abandon the attack. The Chinese, who have been dealing with the Dutch for a long time, can also understand Dutch to some extent. The Dutch said that they would completely eliminate the Li family, the source of the Chinese rebellion, and now they had to bring up the artillery from behind. Use cannonballs to smash open the last wall of the Li Mansion.

Li Guanshan, who was standing by the wall, watched as the natives 200 meters away made way for a passage, and under the command of the Dutch, dozens of natives were pushing cannons up. Li Guanshan couldn't hold back any longer, and two lines of old tears flowed from his eyes. It's over, the Chinese in Nanyang are finished, and after this large-scale Chinese rebellion, the Dutch will never give the Chinese any chance again. When the Dutch destroyed the palace wall, it was the time when the natives slaughtered the Chinese.

Li Guanshan jumped off the wall, almost in a pleading tone in front of his old servant, willing to beg the old servant to find the eldest young master, and do everything possible to protect the eldest young master from escaping. The sadness immediately spread throughout the Li Mansion. Now everyone knows that the current situation for the Chinese is just how many more cushions can be pulled.

Li Guanshan's teary eyes were overflowing, looking at the sun that had just risen to the mountainside, he knew that the Li family's support would not be able to reach noon: "It's over, the Li family's century-old foundation is all over in my hands-"

"I don't think it's all over, the Li family will be more prosperous." Li Nanxing walked out of the moon gate and shouted at everyone, "Didn't you hear anything wrong with the dense cannon fire just now? ”

Everyone looked at each other, running for their lives in a panic, who would pay so much attention. However, in retrospect, the sound of the cannon seemed to be a little denser.

Li Nanxing pointed in the direction of the dock and shouted, "That's the sound of the Pacific Fleet's guns." The imperial fleet has arrived-" Before the words fell, the sound of cannonballs whistling was already heard. There was a loud "boom", and a cloud of dust rose 300 meters outside the hospital.

"See, the imperial fleet is supporting us at this time. Now pick up the gun in your hand and hold on. Reinforcements from the imperial court are about to arrive-" The sound of cannons outside the courtyard and Li Nanxing's words gave the desperate Chinese people great confidence. Because they knew that the court had not abandoned them.

"The landing point is correct, and the front main gun shoots three rapid fires." In the gun chamber of the front main gun, an order was received from the fire control room to pull down the bolt. Fired the already loaded shells. Shells and silk-wrapped propellants were again sent out from the ammunition chamber, and then they opened the chambers and pushed them in again.

The Dutch and natives who had gathered together were devastated, and a succession of six 305-mm heavy artillery shells fell into the crowd. The sound of artillery muffled the wailing crowd. Subsequently, the area around the courtyard of the Li family was cleaned up by artillery fire. And the area closer to the Li Mansion was controlled by the bullets of the demoralized Chinese. The Dutch could not withstand such a heavy artillery attack and ran, and the natives also collapsed. The Chinese removed the dirt bags blocking the gate, reopened the gate and rushed out with guns raised.

"Make the Marines a little bit faster." Liu Guanxiong looked at the slow progress of the Marine Corps, and was a little anxious.

There were no marines under the Nanyang Fleet, so Liu Guanxiong did not know how to command. It is up to the Marines to adjust themselves. Although there was only one battalion of troops, it was far superior to those Dutch policemen in Yamaguchi.

The rudimentary defensive line that the Dutch had built in a panic was destroyed by powerful artillery fire before they could be deployed. Any place on the docks where soldiers or artillery might be hidden was swept by the fleet with artillery fire. Until after the destroyer raised the green signal flag representing safety. It was only then that the freighter, carrying two battalions of marines, crossed the destroyer and approached the dock. The hatch opened, the ladder was lowered, and groups of soldiers rushed off the freighter with guns on their backs, and advanced rapidly under the leadership of the officers, and only established a defensive line when the Dutch formed resistance.

The Pacific Fleet set off with the 2nd Marine Division and 1st Regiment. When he went south to the dark sands of Zengmu, he supported another marine regiment in the country. However, the well-trained Marine Regiment was transferred to Batavia. The two battalions of the 2nd Regiment, which had just been reorganized, were used in Pontianak. Liu Guanxiong led the Nanyang Fleet to support Yamaguchi. The Marine Forces have only one infantry battalion and regimental guard company. He needs to clear and stabilize the situation in Yamaguchi as soon as possible, and then leave the guard company, and he also needs to lead the infantry battalion up the river to support Sanfa City.

Look at the Marines who are swaying down the rope ladder and the artillery that can only be lowered by a crane. Liu Guanxiong deeply felt that he might not be able to catch up with Sanfa City at noon.

Wu Deren also found the same problem. The Dutch were vulnerable, so they could not prevent the landing of the marines. However, if they were confronted with well-prepared and well-firepowered coastal defense forces, the Marines, who had landed slowly, would not be able to establish a beachhead and would not be able to quickly break through the enemy's beachhead. Unless it is the naval artillery that completely destroys the enemy. Any position that can withstand the attack of the naval artillery can wipe out the landing force on the beachhead. The landing operation could only end in failure. The speed of the landing will be the biggest problem in the landing operation at sea.

Looking at the Marine soldiers who were still slowly disembarking, Feng Qi shook his head. It's too slow, it's too slow, the first battalion of the striker has already entered the city, and the third battalion hasn't finished getting off the ship yet, what's going on? If this really starts a fight with the Western powers, it will be a fart landing operation.

Since the inception of the Marine Corps, landing operations have been the main subject of this ground combat force under the Navy. At the highest-level meeting of the General Staff Headquarters, the emperor proposed to launch a landing operation against the coastal countries on the premise of gaining sea supremacy on the sea surface, and then cooperate with the army to attack the enemy's interior and land. Needless to say, the emperor's meaning is very clear, that is, it is aimed at Japan. Therefore, the emperor put forward a completely new concept -- integrated operations on land and sea. It was the Marines, supported by naval guns, to seize and establish safe docks to facilitate the transport of land forces for inland attacks and supplies. At the same time, it can also bloom everywhere when it is pressed on the front. At the same time, landing operations were carried out in many places to contain the main forces of the enemy's army in order to cooperate with the frontal attack, and the task of landing and establishing docks and defense lines was pressed on the marines.

Because of this idea, the Beiyang Fleet escorted the 1st Marine Division led by Ding Ruchang and carried out the first landing operation in Busan. However, this plan was opposed by most of the generals in the General Staff Headquarters, but in the end the emperor decided to do so. Facts have proved that the Beiyang Fleet and the 1st Marine Division have completely failed to give full play to the connotation of actual combat exercises. Although Japan was already in the final battle at that time, after the entire landing operation was completed without a strong Japanese counterattack, neither the Beiyang Fleet nor the 1st Marine Division made any suggestions for this operation. Although Britain, France, the United States, and Germany all have similar formations of marines, the fact that such a professional unit with such a clear mission and established for a special area operation has not found any problems in the first actual combat is itself a huge problem.

Perhaps the emperor carried out the Pusan landing operation only to appease these old-style soldiers. The absolute obedience of the old-style military to orders is very good, but the personal military quality has not kept up with the development of this era. Feng Qi believed that not only Commander Wu Deren, but even Liu Guanxiong would definitely be able to find the problem of the slow speed of the Marine Corps going ashore. In contrast, the old army has no value, because they will never summarize, so they will not progress and will only be eliminated in the end.

The speed of landing was only one of the problems that Feng Qi had discovered, and the speed of unloading artillery and other materials was also very problematic. Although the Marine Corps could get the support of naval guns, the naval guns could not be taken care of, and the 47 mm mountain guns supplied to the Marine Corps could only be loaded and unloaded by two booms on cargo ships, and the speed was also very problematic. Feng Qi also believed that the officers of the Marine Corps would also ask questions about tactics.

"For the record, we need auxiliary ships for professional landing operations." Feng Qi turned his head and told the staff adjutant.

"Report." The signal corps entered the bridge: "The marines report that the Dutch treasury in Batavia has been discovered and controlled!" ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and bring it back." The staff adjutant shouted, he was more excited than Feng Qi.

Feng Qi smiled slightly: "All the artillery that has not come ashore has stopped operating, and all the marines have entered the city lightly. The plan was changed, and all the precious metals remained unchanged and were loaded on the cruiser Huben. Other cargo is loaded onto the cargo ship. ”

"My lord, once it is loaded into a cargo ship, I am afraid that it will cause interrogation by Britain, France and other countries." The adjutant of staff was somewhat incomprehensible. The original plan was to avoid unnecessary check-in, and all cargo would be loaded onto warships and shipped back. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

"No, it's for the British to check the cargo ship. It is normal for some seizures to be in the war, and we have to load all the weapons and worthless jewels seized in Borneo and other places on cargo ships. Only when the British checked the cargo ship did they not suspect that the warship was also loaded with more valuable precious metals. Feng Qi said resolutely: "Go tell the Marines to kill all the aliens who know and have seen us go to the Dutch vault." ”

The treasury of the Dutch, the Javanese pioneers have been staring at it for several years. That is why the attack on Batavia required the use of a whole regiment of troops, which was also the reason for the declaration of war on the Netherlands. (To be continued......) u
