Chapter 1660: The End of the Coalition Forces (1)
"Wei Hengtong, I'm afraid that this time, we really don't have a chance to turn over, not to mention occupying the entire South Seas, I'm afraid that it will be a problem whether we can return to the West safely......"
Molde said abruptly.
Wei Hengtong is also very bitter, originally wanted to win a stable base in Nanyang in one fell swoop, but now it's okay, the chicken and the egg are beaten......
"Hope, now we can only hope for the combined fleet, I hope that our fleet casualties are not particularly serious, in this case, there may be a glimmer of hope for victory, if even our fleet is seriously damaged, then there is really no hope......"
Verhengton said with a glimmer of hope.
"Don't talk about the fleet, you two, let's think about how we can repel the Tianxiong army in front of us......"
Hobrunster said astringently.
It is too difficult to repel the Tianxiong army in front of you, maybe the army strength of the Western Fleet is not inferior to the Tianxiong Army, even if it has gone through a fiasco, the army strength of the Western Alliance Army is still about 40,000 people, as for the Tianxiong Army on the opposite side, it is only 35,000 or 6,000 people, the battle of Kesford Mountain, Zhao Xin's second town infantry battalion casualties directly exceeded 5,000 people, and the subsequent battle, there was a certain loss of troops, and the loss was also not small.
But the Tianxiong army is now a success, morale has reached the peak, the arrival of the main force of the Tianxiong army, but also brought two artillery battalions and rocket battalions, heavy weapons are sometimes too obvious, completely invincible, if it is not for the warships at sea to respond, the Tianxiong army is afraid that it would have been rushed up long ago.
The most important thing is that the successive major battles have made too many wounded, and the food is still secondary, and the current medicine is completely unavailable, and the seriously injured are not much different from the dead, and if they do not get timely treatment, there is only a dead end.
On the other side, Tan Guilin was not in a hurry to attack, he knew in his heart that before he set off, Xu Yifan had already made a good deployment, this time the Western Combined Fleet was definitely more auspicious, and it was not far from death, he only needed to block these Western Alliance forces here, anyway, there was a steady supply of Batavia in the rear, and it would not take a month for the Western Alliance Army to collapse directly, not even a month, or even half a month, only the Ming Fleet that defeated the Western Fleet to kill it, At that time, it was the end of the Western Alliance, and it was obvious that the time was almost up!
In five days, only five days later, the Western Fleet lost its front, retreated all the way, and appeared near Dalawa Bay.
When Molde, Ver Hengtong and Hobrend saw the returning combined fleet, they were completely desperate, and the extremely powerful Western fleet was so miserable! You know, when it first set out on the expedition, the Western Fleet dispatched a full 500 warships!
Now, look at the retreating Western fleet, I'm afraid that there are not even 200 warships, even with the warships docked in Dalawan Bay, there are now less than 250 warships, and most of the losses are lost, even if these surviving warships, there are not a few who have been damaged, how can this be fought?
The Western fleet rushed all the way to the front of Dalawa Bay, and Molde and the others hurriedly boarded the flagship.
"Klopp, what the hell is going on here? How could our fleet, our fleet, suffer such huge losses? ”
Molde asked in shock.
"Didn't the damn Portuguese do it?"
Klopp roared angrily, "The damned Portuguese actually surrendered to the Ming Empire, and instead took advantage of the cover of the Portuguese fleet to suddenly launch a surprise attack on our fleet, the combined fleet was caught off guard, and more than a dozen warships were destroyed as soon as they came up, and by the time we came to our senses, more than thirty warships had lost their combat effectiveness, fifty Portuguese warships, plus the fifty warships lost in the battles before and after, plus the battleships lost in the water bomb attack, We lost more than 150 warships at once, on the way we pursued, we didn't expect that in the waters of Nias Island, we were actually attacked by the main force of the Ming fleet, surrounded by the Ming fleet on three sides, the loss of this battle was even worse, at least the loss of 100 warships, you see, you see, we have a total of so many warships now......"
Hobreunster said bitterly: "General Klopp, there is no doubt that this time our expedition is completely bankrupt, the army and navy have all lost more than half, and we have not even broken through the first island chain like that, and then, the Ming army still has strong combat power, how can we win?" ”
"What? You guys lost too? ”
Klopp asked in shock.
Wilgen said abruptly: "General Klopp, we have just arrived at Mount Kesford and encountered the main force of the Tianxiong army, and at the beginning, we were able to gain the upper hand, but the Tianxiong army has more and more troops, and we are completely pressed and beaten, and now we add the wounded, and the strength is less than 40,000 people......"
Klopp felt his head dizzy and shouted, "What else do you say?" The army immediately boarded the troop carrier, prepared to retreat, prepared to evacuate Dalawan Bay, temporarily returned to India, dodged the Ming army, walked quickly, walked quickly, and did not go, and waited until the main force of the Ming fleet caught up, and it would be difficult to leave when the time came! ”
Klopp is not stupid, the Ming fleet catches up, and the Western fleet can continue to run, but what about the 40,000 army? That's really dumbfounded, there's nowhere to run!
Molde hurriedly ordered and commanded the Western coalition forces to begin preparing to board the troop carrier.
Tan Guilin is not stupid, when he saw a large number of Western fleets appearing, he knew that the Western Fleet had failed this time, and now the army has suffered a huge defeat again, he definitely wants to run, want to run? That's not that easy!
"Order, artillery battalion and rocket battalion, artillery bombardment towards Darawan Bay! Stop the Western coalition from escaping! ”
Boom Boom Boom ......
At the sound of an order, the artillery and rocket soldiers of the Tianxiong Army of the two towns were all thrown into the attack, and one shell after another hit the beach of Dalawan, constantly setting off explosions on the beach, and the whole beach became even more chaotic.
Klopp immediately ordered the fleet to be put into battle, and one ship gun after another began to respond to the enemy, covering the frantic retreat of the Western coalition forces!
It's a pity that the Western Coalition is destined to not be able to run, when the Western Coalition is frantically boarding the troop carrier, the distant Ming fleet begins to appear in the field of vision, the Western Fleet throws off the Ming Fleet less than a hundred miles away, for the Ming Fleet, it is just a few hours, a few hours, where is enough for the Western Coalition to board the troop carrier?
