"Oh! My God! Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys opened fire! How dare they open fire? ”

"Has war broken out? Kill all those yellow-skinned monkeys! ”

"Fight back! Fight back! For a while, the entire Dutch Navy's East India Fleet was in chaos, and the officers and men seemed to dare not believe that the Xinhua Navy actually dared to open fire. Most of the Dutch naval officers and sailors believed that the cowardly Chinese would choose to retreat in the face of the strong Dutch navy. However, now the navy of the new country is firing, which makes them completely unbelievable!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The fifth-rank battleship, which was at the forefront of the East India Fleet of the Dutch Navy, was taken aback and immediately ordered to return fire with a loud voice. Eighteen cannons on the port side were fired at the first time. Before that, the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet was also ready for battle, all the shells were loaded, and as soon as the battle order was issued, it could be fired!

"Nope! This is just a warning shot from the Navy of the New Motherland, they did not fire on our warships! "On the battleship 'East India', Commodore Phoenix shouted. It's just that as soon as his words fell, the fifth-class battleship of the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet had already opened fire. In an instant, Brigadier General Phoenix was shaking the world, and he knew that war had inevitably broken out!

Lieutenant General Johannes was also pale, and he never expected that the war would break out in such a situation! Although he has always been very tough, he only hopes to use this toughness to force Xinhua to make concessions. But. Now the trend of things has completely exceeded his expectations! The war really broke out like this!

"Ha Lu Ha! The Dutch opened fire on us! Command the ships. Spread out, keep out of the way and sink them all! Brothers, this is the moment to make a contribution! On the cruiser 'Xinhua', Wei Yong, commander of the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy, said with a smile. On the other side, Lu Haipeng, commander of the Second Fleet, also gave the order with a big smile. They were all waiting for this moment. Since the Dutch provoked the war first, then they were not afraid to disobey the orders of King Long Yufei!

More than twenty 'Shark-class' cruisers. began to spread out. In order to maximize their advantages, the 'Shark-class' cruisers must distance themselves from each other. At least three kilometers of distance should be ensured, so that you can ensure your own safety at the same time. Deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The twenty-four warships of the Xinhua Navy opened fire one after another. The rumbling of cannons sounded over the Celebes Sea, the New China Navy and the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet, a total of more than forty warships. A fierce battle began!

"Command the ships! Speed up the voyage. Shorten the distance with those yellow-skinned monkeys and sink them! "On the battleship 'Oriental India', Vice Admiral Johannes gave the order. Since war has inevitably broken out, he cannot afford to think about anything else. The first thing he had to do was to ensure that the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet won this naval battle! Otherwise, it will cause huge problems for the Dutch Indonesian authorities. Whether it's Jacques. The Governor of Dominica is still him. You won't be able to eat and walk around!

The warships of the East India Fleet of the Dutch Navy accelerated their speed and rushed towards the Xinhua Navy. Now it's a southwesterly wind. Very beneficial to them. The wind blew on the sails, blowing the sails and driving the battleship to the north quickly.

"Boom! Rumble! "A sixth-rank battleship of the Dutch Navy was hit by two 105-mm naval artillery shells. The fragile hull could not withstand the explosion of a 12.5-kilogram high-explosive bomb. Two shells almost disintegrated the hapless battleship. The broken planks were blown to the surface of the sea. The Dutch naval officers and sailors on the battleship suffered heavy casualties.

At the beginning of the war, a battleship was lost, which made Vice Admiral Johannes's face even more gloomy.

The warships of the Dutch Navy were empty of a large number of naval guns. However, because of the range, there was no way to deal with the Xinhua warship three kilometers away, and could only watch the Xinhua Navy show off its might. This feeling is indeed very aggrieved. However, the wind is now favouring the Dutch Navy, and the distance between the two sides is shrinking further. By the time the distance between the two sides is reduced to two kilometers, or even closer, it will be time for the Dutch Navy to play to their advantage!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The Dutch Navy's warships are also firing constantly. It's just that they, who are accustomed to bombarding at a distance of less than 1,000 meters, can't pose a threat to the warships of the Xinhua Navy 3,000 meters away. All the shells, all the shells fell on the sea, they are more like wasting shells than fighting!

"Commander, the wind is now not in our favor, and the Dutch are accelerating towards us!" The captain of the cruiser 'Xinhua' warned.

"Order the fleet to turn and deal with the enemy with the main guns in the stern!" Wei Yong ordered. The biggest advantage of the 'Shark-class' cruiser is its speed and gun range, and if these two advantages are lost, it will not be an opponent of the Western Navy! Therefore, the first point that the Xinhua Navy must abide by in naval warfare is that only in this way can it ensure its own safety. Then you will be able to destroy the enemy!

The warships of the two major fleets of the Xinhua Navy turned around one after another and began to sail northeast to face the enemy with their sterns. In the stern of the 'Shark-class' cruiser, two 105-mm guns were also installed. The stern of a Western naval warship is the cabin of a senior officer.

"Bastard! Those timid yellow-skinned monkeys, they actually ran away! Seeing that the warships of the Xinhua Navy quickly completed their turn, accelerated to the north, and once again widened the distance between the two sides, Vice Admiral Johannes trembled with anger.

"General, those battleships of Xinhua Kingdom also have cannons in the stern! It can also pose a threat to us! Brigadier General Phoenix reminded.

"Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, they don't have chivalry at all, they only know how to use this scoundrel style!" Lieutenant General Johannes scolded. However, he was very helpless about this tactic of the Xinhua Navy! Constrained by the performance of battleships and artillery, they can only watch as the navy of the new country occupies an advantageous position and uses their advantages to attack them at a long distance!

"General! Gather all the Tier 6 ships and let them speed up to intercept those yellow-skinned monkeys! Only in this way will it be possible to shorten the distance between us and them! Brigadier General Phoenix suggested.

At this time, the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet had only six sixth-rank warships, and one was damaged by the Xinhua Navy in the previous conflict, and it has not been repaired until now. Plus when the battle just began, there was also a Tier 6 battleship destroyed. Therefore, now the Dutch Navy can use only four Tier 6 warships!

"Order the remaining four rank 6 battleships, speed up the voyage, catch up, and drag those yellow-skinned monkeys down! Another 11 Tier 5 warships, following behind the Tier 6 battleships! Lieutenant General Johannes ordered. Now he can only give it a go. If it could not hold back the fleet of the Xinhua Navy, it would be impossible for the East India Fleet to defeat its opponents. The warships of the Xinhua Navy are really like sharks, they will always cruise around the periphery of the East Indies Fleet, constantly attacking their warships until the entire fleet of warships is destroyed! At that time, the East India Fleet would suffer a crushing defeat. This is definitely not what Lieutenant General Johannes wants to see!

Under the orders of Vice Admiral Johannes, the remaining four sixth-rank battleships and 11 fifth-class battleships of the Dutch navy accelerated to the north. They want to use themselves to create opportunities for the follow-up main force. Whether it is a third-class battleship or a fourth-class battleship, as long as it can get close to the warship of the Xinhua Navy, it only needs one salvo to be able to severely damage a 'Shark-class' cruiser. At that time, the East India Fleet may be able to turn defeat into victory!

On the sea, four sixth-class warships and 11 fifth-class warships braved the rumbling artillery fire of the Xinhua Navy and accelerated their pursuit. They are like a boat shuttling through a storm, and they are in danger of being destroyed at any time. The main guns in the stern of the 'Shark-class' cruisers are all 105 mm guns. For Tier 6 and Tier 5 warships, there is undoubtedly a deadly threat! With just one shot, it can wreak havoc on a battleship, and if a key position is hit, it may even be sunk!

Tier 6 battleships are smaller and faster, and in a tailwind, they are no slower than even the 'Shark-class' cruisers. The Shark-class cruisers were designed with the aim of achieving higher speeds than Western naval vessels, both downwind and upwind. Therefore, the design of the sails has been slightly optimized. Of course, even the sixth-tier warships of the Western Navy can catch up with the 'Shark-class' cruisers. For such a small warship with a displacement of only more than 300 tons, the Xinhua Navy has never taken it seriously!

"Want to catch up with us? It's just delusional! Order the ships, keep course, and control the distance between the two sides! Use the cannon at the stern of the ship to teach those foreign devils a hard lesson! "Wei Yong's face was full of sneers. The Shark-class cruiser, but the battleship personally designed by His Majesty the All-powerful King, if it is restrained by those foreign devils like this, then what will it do?

A sixth-tier battleship of the Dutch Navy, a quick pursuit. However, the Xinhua Navy used the cannons at the stern of the ship to give priority to these sixth-level warships! As long as these sixth-tier and fifth-tier warships are killed, the Xinhua Navy can sit back and relax! (To be continued......)
