The Imperial Navy built a defensive line on the tidal flats of Batavia, and the Marines were responsible for guarding the area of the defensive line.

The rest of the naval crews began to set up tents and prepare for rest.

Wearing masks, white gloves and white coats, the medics salvaged the bodies of the Han people floating on the sea, laid them out in the open space on the shore, and covered them with military white cloth.

Li Mingrui, Zheng Chenggong and other imperial naval officers walked over, bowed deeply to the Han people who died in front of them, and saluted.

Gradually, other Imperial Navy officers and sailors also came over one after another to pay silent tribute to these Han people who had died.

The whole night was so quiet that the roaring bonfire reflected the resolute faces, but the deep eyes could not hide the anger that was fiercer than the flames.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Zheng Chenggong suddenly stood up and shouted, Li Mingrui followed suit, and the rest of the Imperial Navy officers and soldiers all shouted.

Like a wolf howling, like a ghost, roaring like a huge wave, with the undulating tide pushing the majestic sound to the climax, shocking the Dutch red-haired fan in the city of Batavia not far away.

Because the total strength of the South China Sea Fleet Marine Corps is not more than 10,000, and there are tens of thousands of indigenous armed forces hired by the Dutch Hongmao Fan in Batavia City, so in the following days, the South China Sea Fleet of the Ming Empire did not rush to organize an attack on Batavia City, but continued to consolidate the tidal flat position, and at the same time organized the Marine Corps to launch a "hunting" attack around the coast.

As soon as the natives appeared, they were shot and killed.

Half a month later, the Imperial East Sea Fleet arrived in Batavia one after another, and the Eighth Army of the Guards Army transported by the East Sea Fleet also landed and officially launched a full-scale attack on the island where Batavia was located after three days of rest, while the East China Sea Fleet and the Southern Sea Fleet attacked the entire archipelago from the east and west directions respectively and prevented the Dutch colonists from evacuating from Karoba Island.

The Eighth Army of the Guards Army was responsible for retaliatory strikes against the Hongmaofan and natives throughout Batavia and on the island of Karopa.

At the same time, the marines of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet also participated in the operation, led by Gu Sanmazi and Zheng Chenggong respectively.

In other words, the entire Ming army that participated in the retaliatory action totaled about 100,000.

The Marines of the East China Sea Fleet and the Southern Fleet were responsible for sweeping the perimeter, while the Eighth Guards Army was responsible for attacking fortified fortresses such as the Dutch-built Batavia.

……

The Dutch side had also organized the defense of the city, and the governor of the Dutch East India Company, Masuik, sent 20,000 native soldiers to strengthen the city, and at the same time pulled out all ten fifty-pound smoothbore cannons, and first fired a round of artillery at the guards on the coast.

Boom!

Thirty-six rifled land cannons were also pulled out from the side of the Guards artillery and a heavy bombardment of the city of Batavia.

The Dutch East India Company was a smoothbore cannon and a solid iron bullet, gunpowder was still traditional black powder, and even the artillery did not have a flintlock firing principle.

The Ming Guards are rifled cannons, and the shells are flowering grenades with nitrification explosives as propellants and copper-zinc alloy as shrapnel, and there is a firing structure based on the firing principle of flintlock machines.

Thus, by the time the Dutch defenders in Batavia had just fired a round of solid iron shells, the Guards had already fired three rounds of artillery.

And the power of each round of artillery strikes was incomparably great, and the city of Batavia was bombed with gravel in an instant, and the Dutch and indigenous soldiers on the battlements were blown to pieces in an instant.

The solid iron bullets of the Dutch defenders did not make ten large holes in the camp of the Guards, and only a few infantry were unlucky enough to be hit, which did not cause too many casualties to the Guards, and by this time, the Guards artillery had destroyed the batteries on its city gates, and had buried all the Dutch artillery and native soldiers on the city walls in the sand.

"Kill!"

Guards cavalry and Guards infantry rushed over.

Today's Guards cavalry is also equipped with hot weapons.

The Chongzhen Type 27 Cavalry Rifle, which is lightweight and more agile to operate, allows any cavalryman to skillfully shoot accurately on horseback.

The recoil of this cavalry rifle is also relatively small due to the improvement of gunpowder and bolt, although the range is not as good as that of the bolt rifled rifles used by the Guards infantry, but it is enough to surpass the range of the previous strong bow, and it also saves the physical strength of the cavalry.

The cavalry of the Guards rode their horses and charged towards the city of Batavia.

At this time, the walls of Batavia were in ruins.

Many of the city's Western buildings had also been destroyed, so the cavalry of the Guards could easily leap into Batavia with a single horse, allowing the horses to trample on the corpses of the Dutch and native soldiers, and kill them wherever there were red-haired and native soldiers.

"Stop!"

The governor of the Dutch East India Company, Maszk, did not expect that the city defense of Batavia, which he had carefully built for more than ten years, would be broken by the artillery of the Ming army, he really did not expect the artillery fire of the Ming army to be so sharp and ferocious, and when he marveled at why the artillery of the Ming army was not live ammunition and could even fire almost a minute, he saw the Ming cavalry rushing over.

Masuik ordered his musket troops to block the attack.

Three thousand red-haired fans skillfully opened their flintlock pistols and bolts to form three formations and walked towards the cavalry of the Guards.

The cavalry of the Guards rode through a bolt and smoothly embedded the bullet into the brain of a red-haired fan, and at the same time pulled the bolt sideways and fired another shot, and the Chongzhen 27-style cavalry rifle had five bullets in a magazine, so the Guards cavalry could pull the bolt and shoot five times in a row without changing the magazine.

However, the red haired fan can only use the clumsy flintlock pistol for thirty seconds to shoot one bullet, even if it adds three shots, it cannot be compared with the Guards cavalry who fired five rounds in an instant, and the number of the Guards cavalry is quite a few tens of thousands, and it does not use three shots, but non-stop fire.

Therefore, most of these red-haired muskets were killed by the cavalry of the Guards in just one shot, and the rest of the red-haired fans dropped their flintlock pistols and ran backwards without thinking about it, or knelt on the ground and begged for mercy directly.

The cavalry of the Guards immediately pulled out their swords and slashed them directly, cutting these red-haired fans who were kneeling on the ground or running forward directly in half like cutting white pigs, and immediately flesh and blood flew sideways.

At this time, the infantry units of the Guards also rushed from behind.

Today's Ming Guards infantry not only has rifles, but now it is equipped with Chongzhen 28 manual machine guns, but the current machine gun is still in the initial stage, the entire Chongzhen 28 manual machine gun and artillery artillery truck are about the same, five soldiers are required to be responsible for a manual machine gun, but despite this, he can still instantly form a dense fire strike of 200 rounds a minute on a certain target.

At this moment, the Guards infantry immediately pushed such a giant machine gun into the city of Batavia.

However, there were no dense fire points in Batavia that could be used by Chongzhen's Type 28 manual machine guns, and the Guards infantry could only face the red haired fans who were hiding under the walls in groups of three or five.

As soon as a few red-haired fans appeared, hundreds of bullets poured in, and these red-haired fans who had just poked out half of their heads directly burst out with brains and blood, and even half of their bodies were directly broken.

Sorry, people were really uncomfortable yesterday, so I took a day off, and took time to go to the hospital another day, and I will resume the update today
