"Your Excellency the Governor, Chief of Staff Chen, we have all been swept away by the Dutch!" Li He shouted.

Li He interrogated the captives at sea, and it turned out that they were all smashed by the Dutch, who were deliberately abandoning the navy and then used it to cover the army. And Li He checked the Dutch troop carriers, which were all empty, and there was not a single army soldier. And the army of the Dutch has long ceased to follow the navy, they have long gone somewhere else.

"Lord Governor, the Dutch army has not come with the navy, their army has landed in Kedah and is going to attack us by land. Their navy is mainly used to attract the attention of our navy, cover the land to land, and then attack ours by land. Li He said.

And Chen Liyan immediately opened the map, and then saw that the Dutch actually chose to sacrifice the navy so that the army could land. And Chen Liyan immediately felt that the situation was not good, because the Dutch landed by land, then they would go all the way to the north, and then attack Dongwanlu. Although this road is not as fast as the sea and land, it is better than stability, and there is no Taiwan navy to intercept and attack, so they can go all the way to Dong Wanlu to attack Taiwan's marines, so as to strive to attack Taiwan's marines with superior forces.

"My lord, we were all swept away by the Dutch, and the Dutch telegram clearly said that they had come to attack Eastern Manlu, but in fact they had already landed the army in Kedah, and the navy continued to the north with empty troop carriers. Then after walking for a while, we were met by our cruiser detachment, whose navy deliberately pestered our cruiser detachment to prevent our cruiser detachment from intercepting their landing force. Thus our cruiser detachment had been fighting for several hours with the Dutch navy for no apparent reason, and by that time the Dutch army units had already landed, and at last they were probably all rushing towards our present East Manlot. ”

And Wang Guorui immediately realized what these Dutch wanted to do, and the Dutch were not stupid. It's very smart! They are afraid that they have already calculated that Taiwan has conquered the Riau Islands, and then they will have almost occupied Dongwanlu. As early as more than ten days ago, after the Dutch received the news that Taiwan had declared war on them, they would immediately begin to prepare to calculate Taiwan. And they knew that the Riau Islands were no longer defendable, and then after they calculated the voyage of the navy, they found out that their navy had landed on Kalimantan with the army. In this way, not only will they not be able to land on the house, but they will be intercepted by the Taiwan Navy.

The Dutch knew that when their navy was covering the army's troop transport, it was the most dangerous time for the Dutch, and once they were intercepted by the Taiwan navy, not only would the navy be completely lost, but even the army would have to enter the sea to feed Wang Ba. So the Dutch had already calculated all the time, and they soon knew what their plan was.

The Dutch were not stupid, they did not think that their iron-ribbed wooden battleships would be able to withstand the steel battleships of Taiwan, so they chose another approach. That is, to use the navy to entangle Taiwan's navy. Then cover the landing of the army. After the army landed, the navy surrendered en masse, and Taiwan suffered a dumb loss.

Taiwan originally wanted to wipe out the Dutch navy and army at once, but now it has only eliminated the navy, but not the Dutch army. The navy of the Dutch, that is, some battleships with iron ribs, was of no value at all. In Taiwan's eyes, these iron-ribbed warships are simply a pile of garbage, and they actually used these iron-ribbed warships to attract the attention of the Taiwan Navy, so that the Taiwan Navy did not attack their army. Prevent the landing of the army, so that the land of the Dutch would also land logically. Then they all surrendered immediately to avoid further needless losses.

"I knew that their army was not on those troop carriers, so I should have broken through those broken ships and attacked their landing craft! If we destroy their army in this way, and then we come back to destroy their navy, then we will be considered victorious in this battle. Li He said with annoyance.

And Li He saw the Dutch troop carriers. Subconsciously thought that the Dutch army should be on those troop carriers, but he didn't think that these troop carriers were actually empty, and there was no Dutch army at all. And Li He subconsciously thought that as long as the Dutch navy was annihilated, then those troop transports could be slaughtered by themselves at will, so there was no need to worry about anything. This time for the naval battle of the Dutch. Their navy against the Dutch was secondary, and their main goal was to deal with the Dutch army. As long as the army of the Dutch is annihilated, then those navies are not taken seriously. However, the cruiser detachment actually subconsciously thought that the Dutch navy was covering the army, so they had to destroy the navy before they could destroy the army. This is also normal thinking, but in the end it was found that this was very wrong, and the Dutch were completely sacrificing their own navy to cover the landing of the army. In this way, when the Taiwanese cruiser detachment fought with the Dutch navy, the Dutch army had already completed the landing, and then quickly marched east from the land route.

"Yes, if we had known, we wouldn't have thought of annihilating the Dutch navy and land together, but now they have given up the navy and chosen the army as the last means of fighting us, which is really unthinkable." Chen Liyan said.

And then it was easy for everyone to deduce the plan of the Dutch, that is, to sacrifice the navy to complete the army, and then let the army go north from the south of Kalimantan, and then attack all the way to East Manlu. At that time, with Taiwan's 15,000 troops, it will have to face more than 100,000 Dutch troops, which is an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops. The Dutch have enough numbers, and the Taiwanese army has enough firepower, and the marines at that time may not have an advantage in numbers, and at that time the firepower is exactly equal to the Dutch, so that neither side can please anyone. Therefore, the victory or defeat of the two sides is still unknown.

The Dutch knew that their navy had no hope of winning against Taiwan's navy, so they wanted to win back a game on the army, so that the Dutch had a numerical advantage, and Taiwan had a firepower advantage, so that on the whole, the firepower of both sides was actually about the same. In this way, the Dutch will be able to narrow the gap between the two sides again, so that the Dutch can completely fight with Taiwan's advance force, the Marine Division. Therefore, at that time, it may be possible to drive Taiwan's troops into the sea.

"Well, since this time it's all like this, it's good to take the lesson. Beware in the future, although the Dutch have declined, they are not without talent. After all, they have accumulated hundreds of years of heritage, and some talents are nothing. So this time our situation is not so bad, since they are attacking by land, then our marines are not vegetarians, our firepower is much more fierce than theirs, and it is not certain who will kill the deer! Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui naturally couldn't be entangled in this regard, after all, something had already happened, so what could he do. So the best way is to spend this thing as much as possible, and fight the Dutch as much as possible. After all, there were more than 100,000 Dutch people, and although they were numerous, their firepower did not have their own fierceness. On the whole, although he has a small number of people, his firepower is fierce, so it is really not certain who will kill the deer. This is the reason why Wang Guorui has the courage to fight them, and this is the best way to do it at the moment. Since the navy is no longer able to participate in the operation, the Haiju Marine Division still has to participate in the operation. Only by defeating the Dutch can we truly occupy this place. Moreover, according to the situation, the Dutch have already transferred troops from the country, and if they come to join the Dutch army in the colony, then I am afraid that the Dutch will have more than 300,000 men. This is also very disadvantageous for funds, so I hope to defeat the Dutch army of more than 100,000 colonies as much as possible, so that I can free up my hands to occupy more territory, and finally I can fight a decisive battle with the Dutch troops who come to support me again.

"Let the Marines rush south at once, fight the Dutch army as best they can, and destroy them as much as possible, so that we can get the follow-up troops to come and occupy a lot of territory! As long as we annihilate these hundreds of thousands of Dutch troops, then it will be much easier for us to take the next two, and we will have time to wipe out the rebellious natives. ”

Soon, Li Yuanhong led the Marine Division to the south of La Liga Mantan, hoping to find and annihilate the more than 100,000 troops of the Dutch. This time, the rear army has not yet been able to arrive, and it is estimated that it will take another week for the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th divisions of the army to arrive, but the Dutch have already taken the initiative to attack, and they can only rely on the limited strength of the marines to annihilate the enemy, so as to prevent the enemy from taking away the positions captured by the marines again. If the Marine Division is defeated, the so-called Nanyang Military District will have to retreat again and return to the Riau Islands to defend. At that time, once the Dutch occupy Lanfang again, they can manipulate the country of Lanfang at any time. At that time, I am afraid that Wang Guorui's excuse for helping Lan Fang restore the country will completely disappear, and he will not be able to continue the war on the grounds of Lan Fang. In this case, I am afraid that this war will also lose its political pretext, which will be very unfavorable to Taiwan's political situation. Therefore, Lan Fang cannot be lost, and if you want to avoid Lan Fang's loss, you must defeat these Dutch troops who have landed. (To be continued......)
