The Huaxia fleet finally moved, and after disappearing from the sea of Southeast Asia for nearly half a month, the Huaxia Navy finally reappeared in the Makassar Strait, and the mighty fleet did not stay in this strait for too long, and the entire fleet sailed through this strait and entered the Java Sea at a speed of 12 knots. At this time, the avant-garde fleet of the Huaxia fleet found a Russian light cruiser patrolling near the southern entrance of the Makassar Strait, this poor cruiser just wanted to get close to observe the opponent, but it was destroyed by the Longxu-class battle cruiser that was coming at full speed, and after only two salvos, the light cruiser of more than 3,000 tons was cut in half and sank into the rough sea.

However, before the light cruiser was sunk again, it still managed to send a telegram out of the air, informing the Dutch fleet that was cruising nearby this shocking information, the Chinese navy seemed to be tired of the fast fleet fight, this time it was a real all-army attack, the black smoke rising from the chimney obscured the sky, even 25KM away can be faintly seen rising smoke columns. (At this time, a coal-fired boiler was used, and heavy oil was not used, otherwise the smoke column would be much smaller.) And the Dutch fleet, realizing that the situation was not good, immediately divided into two groups, and several light cruisers quickly left, informing them of the situation of the Chinese fleet along the way. The two seven-level fast battleships tried to rely on their own performance to compete with the Huaxia Navy. Harvey wants to know what the Huaxia Navy wants to do when it arrives!

In the face of these two ghostly Dutch fast battleships, the Huaxia fleet did not pay any attention at all, and 12 capital ships and 5 armored cruisers went all the way south to the shore of Beijialang surrounded by a large number of light cruisers and mine-striking ships. When the Huaxia fleet, with a gross tonnage of up to 400,000 tons, appeared outside the port of Pekalangan. The Russian-Dutch officers and soldiers in the port were completely shocked! The 12 capital ships did not care at all about the 10-inch guns on the shore batteries, and after the minesweepers had cleared the minefields on the periphery, the 12 capital ships lined up. Nearly 100 12-inch heavy guns slowly raised their muzzles, and as the battleship Longxing raised the battle flag, the largest offensives of the Huaxia Navy on the opposite side of the strait began!

April 20, 1905, at 9 a.m. For the first time, the main guns of the Longxing roared on the battlefield! The Huaxia fleet did not need to shoot at all, they had already divided the ports of the entire Beijialang Bank on the map into small grids. At a distance of up to 12,500 meters, the Dutch's 10-inch shore guns could not reach it at all, and at this distance, the Chinese Navy did not need to attack a specific point target at all, and directly covered it with high-explosive shell fire. After several markers were selected for ranging. The Huaxia fleet did not even carry out a comparative shooting, and directly opened fire!

The first salvo was fired from the Longxing's 12 heavy guns, followed by its sister ship, the Longwu. Then there are the Dragons and Dragonsprings from Italy. As many as 44 main guns fired the first blow of the Chinese Navy! The sound of a heavy artillery salvo is superimposed and amplified in the air. A sonic boom of tsunami-like sound echoed around the fleet. One after another, the cannonballs flew like meteors towards the shore facilities of the harbor in the distance, and under the friction with the air, the cannonballs turned red in the air, and smashed into the harbor with a wave of destructive force!

Seconds. The entire port trembled in the sound of successive explosions. A gray-brown pillar of smoke rose into the air, and bright yellow fireballs continued to generate and explode beneath the pillar of smoke. The air wave generated by the explosion swept through everything it could touch, and the sturdy stone houses were like paper paste in the explosions one after another, and a powerful shock wave could completely reduce them to a pile of rubble! Whether it is a lighthouse, a warehouse or a factory on the shore, there is only one result under such a blow, and that is to be smashed to pieces. The most powerful weapon that human civilization can create is on full display at this moment, and in just a few seconds, a port is instantly turned into hell!

And just after the battleships of the Chinese Navy fired the first salvo. The 43 main guns of the five dreadnoughts of Ye Zusi's fast fleet fired a wave no less than the first wave of bullets, before the dust had settled on the first shelling. The second wave of the rain of destruction has come out of the cannon's chamber! Their target is the berths in the harbor and the various ships inside! At this time. A large number of transport ships were crammed into the cramped berths, and since the report of the discovery of the Chinese navy, all the ships that were scheduled to sail were forced to stay, and the Dutch naively thought that they would survive by staying in the harbor, but the cruel truth told them that they were wrong, and they were very wrong!

Although the Huaxia Navy did not shoot at each other, it hit a fixed target this time. Moreover, the Huaxia Navy has a detailed distribution map of the berths in the port of Beijialangan, so there is no need to aim at the ship at all, just use the berth as a reference to fire! The dense rain of bullets tore everything near the berth, and the cranes and power supply rooms near the berth, as well as the ships that were stationed, were indiscriminately slaughtered. The heavy shelling blew through the berth like a hurricane. A two-thousand-ton transport ship tried to evacuate hundreds of Russian soldiers from above, and just as the soldiers disembarked along the rope net, two shells each concentrated on the poor transport ship. A shell pierced directly through the hull deck, then pierced through three decks and exploded at the bottom of the ship, a large hole of more than 10 square meters allowed the ship to sink to the bottom in just a dozen seconds. Another shell smashed directly into the side of the hull, and the fire caused by the irascible picric acid charge burned hundreds of Russian troops who were near the hull to charcoal!

Just when the Chinese dreadnought fleet began to exert its might, three Ninghai-class battleships also joined in the bombardment, and they attacked the ancillary facilities of the port, such as the nearby railway hub, water tower and other facilities. Water, electricity and road hubs were destroyed, and it was difficult for the Dutch to get in even if they had manpower and supplies!

Although the Chinese navy did not hit the urban area of Beijialangan. But the inhabitants of all nationalities living in this city have also experienced the terrible power of this force! "The entire Minato area was reduced to a sea of ruins and fire in less than 2 minutes. The port that we had spent hundreds of years building disappeared like a sand sculpture on a beach under the blow of the Chinese navy. The sky-high fire continued to burn for 3 days, until the last day burned everything that could be burned, and the fire brigade was not able to enter the fire for several days, the fire was too big. They had to create a 200-metre-wide barrier between the port area and the city to prevent the fire from spreading to the city. A Dutch immigrant later wrote in his diary.

"The end of an era, the beginning of a new era. The dragon of the East has awakened, and when this dragon stretches its body to reveal its sharp teeth and claws, all of Southeast Asia will prostrate under his power! The Dutch East Indies are only the first, and definitely not the last! An English merchant on the shore of Pekalang saw the rise of a nation in the flames and the mighty fleet outside the harbor.

And at this time, the most uncomfortable thing in my heart was definitely Admiral Harvey, who was watching the demolition of the Huaxia Navy outside the port. As a soldier, the warship in his hand is a sharp weapon that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has accumulated over the years. The seven-provincial fast battleship is definitely a first-class warship in the world, but in the face of the powerful Huaxia Navy, he is not much stronger than an armored cruiser. If Harvey dared to lead his fleet to charge, he was sure that his seven-level fast battleship would be torn to pieces by heavy artillery fire in a quarter of an hour!

Looking at the port that had been changed beyond recognition, Harvey felt a pang in his heart. He knew very well that the Chinese navy was now destroying not only a port, but also the basis of Dutch rule in the Dutch East Indies! The Beijia Lang'an is just the beginning, and then Batavia, Semarang and other places will sooner or later collapse in front of the strong ships and guns of the Chinese Navy! The Dutch have already lost this battlefield, and the time for the Huaxia Navy to destroy such a port can even be calculated in minutes! Even if the Chinese fleet was finally defeated by the Russian-Dutch fleet, in the face of the already devastated Dutch East Indies colony, the Netherlands would not have enough money and manpower to rebuild! After losing the most basic livelihood, the control of the colonies by the Netherlands, which was in debt, will inevitably decline significantly. Not even the local indigenous people could suppress it. And the end result is that the Dutch East Indies, which once generated a lot of wealth, have completely become a muddy pond, which will not only not bring benefits to the Netherlands, but will consume a lot of the Netherlands' already bottomed out national strength!

"I have to stop this from happening." Admiral Harvey said as he looked at the Huaxia fleet, which had been spewing deadly flames for a long time. The Dutch government gritted its teeth and built such a fleet not to scare people, but to protect its own interests! And now Admiral Harvey has decided to immediately return to the port of Batavia. Persuade, no, not persuasion but demand that Makanov must go to war! If the Russians can't show themselves enough to defend themselves against the Chinese fleet, then I'm afraid the politicians in the country should be ready to try Plan B, right?

Immediately, the two seven-level fast battleships made a circle on the sea and headed for Batavia at full speed. And when Harvey left, the Huaxia fleet also stopped shelling, the reason is simple, the smoke and fire caused by the shelling have seriously affected the observation, and the Huaxia Navy does not even know what the effect of the artillery bombardment will be. In all the telescopes, you can only see clumps of flame and black smoke rising up. Although the performance of the Huaxia Navy this time is crazy, the commander still has the bottom in his heart, so he can save some shells! And judging from the current situation, Yang Yonglin is still very satisfied with the results of the shelling.

Just when the main force of the Huaxia Navy fired the first shot of the shelling of the Beijialang Coast, Makanov, who was sitting in the port of Batavia, also got the news, and he got more and more complete information, and now, Makanov not only knew that the Huaxia Navy had attacked the Beijialang Bank, but also knew that a detachment of the Huaxia Navy had covered the landing of the marines in the Machen area. Huaxia is in the next big game. However, Makanov did not know the ultimate goal of the Chinese Republic!
