In the end, the French compromised, because instead of going to war for the Dutch and Taiwan, and then being able to defeat Taiwan with heavy losses, it was obviously not in line with the French thinking. After all, in their eyes, Taiwan's strength is not weak, and if it causes the decline of its own France in order to defeat Taiwan, it will definitely outweigh the losses. So they chose to compromise, after all, the Dutch have nothing to do with them, so naturally there is no need to help them so desperately. Therefore, Wang Guorui's so-called Nanyang Military Region was able to resupply at the port of Quy Nhon in Vietnam, and then march in the direction of Nanyang again.

"Governor Wang, if nothing else, there will be the Riau Islands ahead. According to our previous plan, we will occupy this Riau Islands and then use it as one of the bases on our supply routes. And this Riau Islands is very good, not only rich in tin ore, but also a lot of aluminum. The industrial potential is good, and there are also rubber, casuarinas, pepper, rice and other agricultural resources, so that after we occupy it, we can get a lot of industrial and agricultural supplies. Chen Liyan said.

"Okay, immediately let the fleet occupy this Riau Islands, and then use this as a springboard to occupy the whole of Indonesia step by step." Wang Guorui said.

Soon, hundreds of huge warships began to sail towards the Riau Islands, and the huge fleet of ships began to move towards the edge of their Riau Islands. And some of the marines under Li Yuanhong have also begun to prepare to take small boats and are ready to land at any time.

"The cruiser detachment prepares, if they have a cannon counterattack, then our cruiser guns will knock out their guns immediately." Chen Liyan said.

"Marines, give me a go!" Chen Liyan shouted.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Dozens of small landing craft, capable of holding a dozen people, were immediately dropped into the water, and the personnel of the Marine Division also climbed onto the landing craft and began rowing in preparation for the attack. The only pity is that the steam engine of this era is too large to fit on a small landing craft. So these landing craft are also very small. Unable to use a steam engine to drive it, it had to rely on human power to row forward. This is the test of the marines, so it is a test for them.

"Soldiers, this is the first battle of our Marine Division, and no one will drop the chain for me. If anyone drops the chain, throw it into the sea yourself! Li Yuanhong, the commander of the Marine Division, shouted.

"Whoa......

Units of the Marine Division began to row boats up. Then they landed on the largest island of the Riau Islands, and then they were ready to defend themselves against enemy batteries, and by this time the Marines had already begun to land.

"What's the matter, they didn't start fighting back?" Li Yuanhong was surprised.

Li Yuanhong also felt very speechless, his troops had already begun to attack, why didn't those Dutch fight back?

However, sometimes when Cao Cao is said, Cao Cao has arrived, and Li Yuanhong just said that the enemy will not fight back. The Dutch also began to fight back.

"Boom!"

A shell was fired, and then it began to fire at the cruiser of the cruiser detachment.

"Huh? What level are the Dutch, and how can they play shells so badly? Chen Liyan was surprised.

Chen Liyan was born as an artillery commander, and he was naturally familiar with artillery, so he was speechless when he saw the Dutch actually firing at the cruiser. And he saw that these Dutch shells were actually the kind of primitive artillery, and these shells were some solid shells, that is, the kind of Napoleonic guns that were decades ago. That kind of Napoleonic cannon from decades ago. It is a smoothbore cannon, and it fires solid iron bullets and primitive flowering shells. How could such shells cause damage to the cruiser?

This kind of shell hit the cruiser, that is, it just tickled the cruiser, and it was useless at all. So Chen Liyan immediately felt that these Dutch people were really "stupid", and they were still doing things that they knew would not work.

"Order the cruiser, fight back with naval guns, and blow up these unpopular guns for me!" Chen Liyan said.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The sound of artillery fire. The guns on the cruiser began to fire. And these naval guns fired were no more than 152 mm caliber naval guns, but these naval guns were much better than those on the shore. The Napoleonic cannon was nothing more than a breech gun, and the ammunition fired was definitely no match for the naval guns of this era. Naval guns were capable of exploding directly, while those Napoleonic guns were not only less powerful, but also had a very close range. These Napoleonic guns could not attack the cruiser at all, because their range was less than half that of the cruiser's guns, so the range can be imagined.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The Dutch artillery on the shore was immediately blown away, and their morale plummeted.

"Commander, the Chinese's artillery fire is too fierce. They have naval guns, and they are all naval guns with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and we are not opponents! A Dutch soldier shouted.

And the commander of the Dutchman, who immediately looked at the Chinese warship in the distance, immediately shouted: "These shameless Chinese actually play a conspiracy against us." They declared war on us very suddenly, and I just learned that it was less than eight hours before the class was eight hours and they called. The Governor's House over there in Jakarta told us to hold out until reinforcements arrived, what shit! The Chinese are bombarded by naval artillery, how can we hold out until reinforcements arrive? Reinforcements arrived, and they couldn't arrive in more than ten days! ”

The Dutchman had no hope at all, because the Dutchman's governor's palace was in the city of Jakarta in the Java archipelago, and Jakarta was not the same island from here, but this was Kalimantan Island, which was a full sea area from Jakarta. Therefore, if the support troops want to come over, even if they start to assemble and sail over, it will not take more than ten days, how can an infantry regiment with backward equipment beat those opponents who are equipped with cruiser guns and elite marines!

"Sue the naval artillery, no need to bomb, marines, land for me!" Li Yuanhong shouted.

Those shore guns had already been knocked out by the naval guns, and they were not able to fight back at all. And Li Yuanhong led the Marine Division to land quickly, and then took advantage of this time that the first batch of Marine Divisions immediately approached the shore, and then began to form a blocking position to cover the soldiers who landed behind at any time.

In terms of landing warfare, the first batch of landing soldiers had just come ashore, and that was the most dangerous time. At this time, the blocking position was not established, and the enemy could easily take the opportunity to "attack half-crossing", and this method of half-crossing attack was also very skillful in the ancient times, and there was no reason why foreigners would not be able to.

"What's the matter, why didn't the Dutch come and attack?" Li Yuanhong's slightly larger landing craft in the distance looked into the distance with a telescope, obviously feeling very strange.

This Dutchman actually didn't take advantage of the current half-crossing to attack, then this was simply a chance for the marines to land. And as more and more Marines landed, the blocking positions became stronger and stronger, and as a result, the Dutch were not able to come and attack, which was obviously not intended to attack.

"In that case, order the soldiers, attack me immediately, you're welcome!" Li Yuanhong shouted.

"Rush!"

The soldiers of the Marine Division began to charge, and the Dutch did not put up much resistance at all, and apparently quite a few began to surrender.

"The Dutch have surrendered, we don't have to fight! This Riau Islands, in the next two days, we can completely occupy it. Li Yuanhong said when he arrived at the headquarters of the Nanyang Military Region of Jingyuan.

"What's the matter, the Dutch have such a bad will to fight?" Chen Liyan asked with some surprise.

And Wang Guorui said with certainty: "First of all, we came suddenly, those Dutch people did not have the slightest preparation, and their reinforcements wanted to come to support, it would take more than ten days. And they are completely desperate for the arrival of reinforcements, and our naval guns have completely scared them stupid. They simply did not have the artillery fire that our naval guns wanted to resist, so naturally they chose to surrender. ”

Of course, Wang Guorui knew that many of the soldiers of those great powers in the colonies were outdated in weapons. The soldiers of the great powers in the colonies were inferior in weapons, and that was because their imaginary enemies were the local natives, who had no industry at all, and only needed to use some ordinary weapons. As a result, the shore artillery of the Dutch actually used the Napoleonic cannon of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period more than ten years ago, and the Napoleon cannon was not the opponent of the cannon of the current era at all.

As for the poor fighting will of the colonial soldiers, this is also normal. Because those troops who come to the colony from the mainland will not be elite troops, and the elite troops will stay in the homeland to protect the country and will not come to the colony. And the colonial army is also a bunch of rice buckets, after all, the task of the colonial army is to suppress the resistance of the local natives, so it is their task. And these natives have no ability to resist at all, and their soldiers are still very comfortable, so they are raised as pigs under long-term comfort, and they do not have any will to fight.

Now that he has encountered Wang Guorui's Taiwanese army, and it is such a fierce artillery fire, it is naturally easy to surrender, and there is no idea of fighting desperately. They are all messing around in the colonies, and if they mess with their own lives, they will be unlucky. Therefore, the best way is to surrender as soon as possible, anyway, you can't fight, then you can still enter the prisoner of war camp to eat. When the time comes, this war will have nothing to do with them. The Dutch won the battle and continued to mess around. If the Dutch lose, then they will return home with their own money, which is also good. (To be continued......)
