Chapter 1513: Bloody Duckbill Beach (4)
It was getting dark, and the Malay soldiers could not help the three thousand elite horsemen, George did not hesitate to press a Dutch elite again, and began to organize a counterattack against the Tianxiong army.
However, at this time, Zhu Jie's mind had stabilized.
"Mu Feng, send 10,000 troops again to land, and tonight we must gain a firm foothold in the Batavia seaport to cover the smooth landing of the army!"
Zhu Jie shouted in a deep voice.
Qin Mufeng agreed, and the order went down, and more than 5,000 people from the front army camp of the second town of the Tianwei Army began a new round of landing under the leadership of Xia Wanchun.
Soon, 5,000 elites rushed to Duckbill Beach and began to fight with the Dutch army!
The two sides fought from dusk until late at night, and only then did they withdraw their troops and stop the battle.
George sat in the big tent of the fort, his face full of sadness, he knew that now his army wanted to prevent the Ming army from landing, there was almost no possibility, under the cover of the Ming fleet, the Dutch army was powerless to prevent the Ming army from landing, and could only watch the Ming army land on the beach in groups, launching wave after wave of offensives towards him.
What's next?
"Nizos, you say, can we withstand the attack of the Ming army tomorrow?"
George asked astringently.
Nizos smiled bitterly: "General, how do I know this, I only know, once all the Tianxiong army landed on Java Island, we will really be finished, today you also saw more than 10,000 horsemen, and they were beaten by the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Tianxiong army, and now the Tianxiong army has at least 50,000 or 60,000 people, once they all land, just with 100,000 rabble, it is simply impossible to resist the attack of the Ming army......
"What then? Now that Reynolds has run away, the port of Batavia has been heavily surrounded by the Ming army's fleet, and we can't run even if we want to......"
George asked.
"It's still the same sentence, retreat into the rear, resist step by step, Java Island is so big, we have a place to hide, as long as we hold on for a year and a half, the domestic army will definitely come!"
"You say that!"
George said angrily: "Retreat to the rear, into the rainforest, that means we will lose all food and provisions, how can tens of thousands of troops live?" We are not Nanyang people, people can survive in the tropical rainforest, we stay in the rainforest for a long time, within a month, either starve to death, or die of disease! And what about the reinforcements from Malay and Siam? ”
Nizos's face was bitter, this is true, the climate of Java Island is hot, the tropical rainforest is full of dangers, enter three or two days, but can still persevere, but after a long time, not to mention the food can not be solved, even if there is a way to solve the diet, the miasma poisonous insects and beasts in the tropical rainforest can't deal with it, and how many people will die if they enter......
"Then we will resist and retreat from the northwest to the southeast, all the way to Semarang or Surabaya, where there are still our sea ships, take the sea ships and flee to other places!"
Nizos replied.
"Are you sure you can run?"
George asked.
Nizos said helplessly: "Now there is only one risk, the big deal is to drive all the Malays and Siamese to the front to block the Ming army, our main force quickly retreats back, whether we can escape from Semarang depends on our luck......"
Now that the catastrophe is coming, where can the two of them still take care of resting, all the main generals among the generals have been summoned to discuss countermeasures, until it was close to four o'clock in the second half of the night, and they were unaware that time passed quickly.
On the fort, except for the vigilant troops, the rest of the people were already asleep, and after a day of fighting, they were tired enough, but a few figures had gradually touched the fort.
Finally, Gao Han reappeared.
At this time, Gao Han was only followed by three people, although this operation completely destroyed the arsenal of the fort, but it also brought huge losses to the elite of the special operations battalion, so big that Zhu Jie did not expect, a hundred elites, there were no casualties when they attacked Cohen and others, but in the arsenal, they were almost all reimbursed.
There is no way that the power of the explosion is too great, tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder exploded at the same time, even if it is all black powder, the power is limited, but it can't stand more, the violent explosion will blow up Deng Xiong and others in front of the depths into powder, as for the forty people led by Gao Han in the rear, they also failed to survive the catastrophe, the violent explosion blew up the heavy shells and bullets of the ammunition depot everywhere, and flew to several miles away, even more than ten miles away, Gao Han and others, from the arsenal, but three or four miles away, completely in the danger area.
A ** broken cannonball smashed down, even if the brothers had already prepared, they could not all dodge, the violent explosion made the brothers lose their hearing in an instant, and the dazzling light brought by the explosion made everyone's eyes stimulated, the white sky could not see anything, the ears were deaf, the eyes were blind, there were no ears and eyes, how to effectively avoid the danger of shooting from all sides?
In particular, there were more than a dozen flowering bombs that exploded after they landed, and everyone's ears were bloodshot, and the unlucky brothers were directly hit by broken shells and scattered rocks and rubble, and they were injured one after another, and as for the explosion of the flowering bombs, six or seven brothers were directly killed and martyred on the spot!
Half an hour passed, and the brothers came to their senses, and Gao Han was lucky enough to hide behind a boulder, only to be stunned, but like him, there were only ten people who were only slightly injured.
Gao Han hugged the corpses one by one and cried, a hundred brothers went to war, dead and wounded, what face did he still have to live?
With great difficulty, the wounded were brought back to the manor, handed over to the care of the Intelligence Department, and despite Zhang Chu's obstruction, he returned to the mountains and forests on the edge of the fort with his only few brothers.
Gao Han collected almost all the ammunition and waited for the arrival of late night, waiting for the opportunity to retaliate!
"A few brothers, a hundred brothers, more than seventy percent have been martyred, and now there are only a few of us left who can move, what face do we have to continue to live? I'm voting for him, go down with our boss, and be brothers together! ”
Gao Han's eyes spewed with anger, and he shouted coldly, "Now that the emperor's army has been fighting fiercely with the Dutch devils for a day, it must have encountered hard bones, otherwise, Batavia would have been taken a long time ago, and now it's up to us, we are giving them a ruthless fight, preparing grenades and pistols, and raiding the headquarters of the battery!" Wipe out a nest of their generals! ”
