In the port of Jakarta, three warships of the Royal Netherlands Navy, which was ordered to be stationed today, were quietly docked in the port to deter the Dutch East Indies in Jakarta.

A turmoil had just ended, and it was the habit of the Dutch to warn everyone in the colony with guns and guns who was the boss here.

The long-term peace and quiet, this Royal Netherlands Navy, has long been a deterrent, as for the actual combat ability, except for a few times to fight pirates, the fire has run a few times, there is no actual combat experience at all.

Most of the Dutch sailors who docked in the harbor at night were able to get ashore with great difficulty, and they did not return to the warships until midnight, full of wine and food, and walking crookedly.

The quiet night sky, a few bored Dutch sailors, although still holding on to their posts on the warship, had flushed faces and bottles of wine in their hands said it all.

Under the calm sea, several white ribbons surrounded the three warships.

A Dutch sailor looked at the white ribbon that appeared on the sea, first burped, exhaled a strong breath of wine, and his head was still dizzy, pointing to the white wake, as if he was thinking about something.

The moment of clarity in his mind made him sober up, but it was too late, and he opened his mouth and was about to shout: "Torpedo ......"

Several torpedoes hit three warships at the same time, hundreds of kilograms of high explosives, and at the moment when the torpedo fuse hit the warship's waterline, a violent explosion resounded throughout the port.

The tremendous power of the explosion lifted a column of water tens of meters high, and the tremendous force almost lifted three warships, which weighed no more than a few thousand tons, out of the water.

The defense of the shore defense battleship was inferior even to that of a heavy cruiser, and the 610-mm torpedo blew a huge mouth of five or six meters on the warship, and it was not yet a gap.

The officers and men on the warship were instantly woken up by the explosion, but they only woke up to welcome death.

The huge force of the explosion caused a large number of unsuspecting Dutch sailors, badly bruised and bruised, the warship was seriously tilted, and the raging sea water poured in, and in less than a minute, half of the smallest of the three warships was sunk.

Two 5,000-ton shore defense battleships, also heavily tilted, with half of their decks, were immersed in the sea.

The surviving Dutch sailors jumped into the water, drunk and heading towards the shore.

The Dutch Army soldiers in the port looked at the three sunken warships with a confused expression, and some soldiers couldn't help but give themselves a slap in the face to see if they were dreaming.

Unfortunately, this was not a dream, nor was it sleepwalking, the Dutch soldiers on guard at the harbor rushed to rescue the sailors who had jumped into the water.

Jakarta was woken up, and the whole city was not sleepy.

The Doge's Mansion Autrell was woken up by the sound of an explosion, and a spirit suddenly jumped out of bed, came to the window, and opened the curtains, and there was a fire in the harbor in the distance.

Hurriedly walked to the phone, and before Auterrell could pick up the microphone, the phone rang: "Report to the governor, the big thing is not good, our warship has been attacked, and the three warships of the Royal Navy have sunk." ”

Autrell didn't have time to react, and suddenly said angrily: "What nonsense, where is the enemy, how can our warship be sunk." ”

"Lord Governor, this is true, there was really an attack, and half of the three warships have been sunk." On the other end of the phone, he said with a crying voice.

"Bastard, what the hell is going on." Autrell was also frightened, hung up the phone quickly, and at the same time dialed the phone to the shore defense garrison, but the line was never connected, and the phone to the garrison troops was never connected. Even if you want to call the port again, mud cattle go into the sea.

This time, Autrell has no luck anymore, he is really attacked.

"Someone, hurry up."

A group of guards ran in, and Autrell didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he ordered: "Immediately order all the troops, prepare for battle." ”

The guards looked at each other, but they had never encountered such a situation, and they didn't know what to do.

"Why are you still standing, ride to the notice." Seeing this, Autrell yelled.

Only then did the guards react and ran out of the Governor's Palace.

Without the navy, Jakarta is not just at the mercy of others, there are battery batteries built on several commanding heights around the port of Jakarta, and even a 381 mm Krupp shore defense gun.

This is the most effective means of defending the colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but even the best weapons and equipment need people to operate.

The effect of handing over the same weapon to a group of professional soldiers and a group of farmers is naturally worlds apart.

Three warships were sunk, and under normal circumstances, the shore defense forces should confirm the presence of the enemy at the first time.

However, all three warships began to sink, and before all the Dutch navy shore guards were in place, the drunken and hazy officers came to the battery, holding binoculars crookedly, and searched the sea in the distance.

In the hazy night in the distance, there seemed to be something, a series of dazzling fires suddenly appeared, and then a clear sound of shelling was heard in the ears, and for a time everyone listened to the whistling sound of the cannonballs from far and near.

"Shelling, dodging"

I don't know who shouted, but before everyone had time to lie down, the terrifying explosion of the giant cannon resounded around the port of Jakarta.

The four artillery batteries in front of the Jakarta port are covered by dense naval artillery fire, and the bare batteries and the great power of the artillery indicate an irreparable fate.

Of the four batteries, three were destroyed at once, and the Dutch soldiers on the other battery were also largely incapacitated.

How the four batteries can hold off a sound fleet, let alone a premeditated sneak attack, the location of these four batteries is not a secret, and it is not yet possible to move.

Under normal circumstances, the fleet will not attack the shore anti-aircraft guns, but if it is a sneak attack, then it is two other words.

What's more, it is still facing the Dutch army, which has no sense of combat at all, and if it is not taken in one go, it will be sorry for such an opponent.

The second round of shelling of battleships did not take part, but the artillery fire of cruisers and destroyers, again covered.

Mainly because of the preparation time of the battleship's guns, the artillery-loaded artillery, the rate of fire is really impressive, which is also the same in the Red Guard Corps.

And the artillery fire of the cruisers and destroyers was enough to complete the mending knife, and in the second round of shelling, the last of Jakarta's shore defense guns was destroyed, and all the defenses of Jakarta were torn apart. Naked protection in front of the First Fleet.

The saddest thing is that by now the Dutch did not know who the attackers were, and they had not even seen the attacking fleet clearly.

The darkness of the night provided good cover for the attack, and the people on the shore could only faintly see the shadow of the ship on the sea.
