Chapter 1072: Battle of Jakarta

"Boom boom boom..." With the roar, the entire Jakarta coast was covered by artillery fire. Under the power of large-caliber artillery shells, the trench positions carefully purchased by the Netherlands were lifted up to more than ten meters of mud from time to time.
　　
　　 The trembling Dutch soldiers hid in the trenches excavated in advance as soon as they were bombarded by artillery, but even so, there were still casualties in the places directly bombed by the artillery.
　　
　　 Simon and Eifel also hid in such caves, and now Dutch soldiers have jokingly called these caves cat ear holes.
　　
　　 "Damn, when will these bombings end?"
　　
　　 The deafening bombing sound did not stop, and the dust on the earth cave was rustling down. At this time, hiding in such earth cave was also under great pressure.
　　
　　 The other Dutch soldiers held their ears tightly, their bodies trembling, they didn't have the energy to pay attention to Simon's roar.
　　
　　 cursed for twenty minutes, and Simon suddenly felt that the world seemed to be quiet.
　　
　　 At this time, he immediately crawled out of the hole and stepped on it with a stool. In his eyes, soldiers from the Chinese Empire were coming to the coast in a boat.
　　
　　 Discovering this, Simon immediately shouted: "Everyone is ready to fight immediately!"
　　
　　 His voice fell, and the Dutch soldiers rushed out of the dirt hole with a stool. The soldiers in the first row put the stool down and stepped on the stool to stick their heads out of the trench.
　　
　　 And behind these soldiers stood two rows of soldiers. These soldiers were ready to hand over the guns filled with ammunition in accordance with the captive guns.
　　
　　 Looking at the scene before him, Simon was slightly satisfied, because they believed that using this method could severely damage the offensive of the Chinese Empire, they chose to stay here.
　　
At the other end of the trench, Eifel was also prepared. Although he admired the advanced firearms of the Chinese Empire, he also understood that human eyesight is limited. Basically, soldiers can maintain accuracy within 200 meters. With this value, bullets are basically not accurate, and can only kill people by probability.
　　
　　 "Let's fight to the death, Jakarta is mine." Eifel's eyes were cruel. He knew very well the value of this resource-rich colony with a population of over nine million.
　　
　　 It can be said that before establishing trade with the Chinese Empire, Jakarta had always been the economic center of the Netherlands in Asia, and its position was similar to that of India in the UK.
　　
　　 sea.
　　
　　 Yue Yun and Lei Ming are using binoculars to observe the beach. Unlike the previous single-tube binoculars, now with the improvement of Digong's ability, the two have already used binoculars.
　　
　　 "This artillery preparation effect made the Dutch very embarrassed." Lei Ming said with a smile. Although he saw many Dutch soldiers entering the fighting position, he also saw the wounded soldiers being transported out of the trenches.
　　
　　 "But it's not enough." Yue Yun said: "The rest is up to the girls themselves. Our shells are still reserved for naval battles, so we can't continue to consume them like this."
　　
　　Thunder is a little regretful, but he knows the fact that Yue Yun said that the Dutchman's battleship has not yet appeared, and he may be holding back something bad.
　　
　　 His voice fell, and suddenly the soldiers on the observation tower issued a warning, and the soldiers pointed their fingers to the southeast.
　　
　　 Yue Yun immediately took his binoculars to look, and saw fifty sailing warships approaching them mightily.
　　
　　 glanced at the soldiers who were landing, he said, "They are smart, but they overestimate their abilities."
　　
Having said that, he immediately asked the semaphore to issue an order, and the twelve ironclad ships left the battleship group and headed towards the direction of the Dutch battleships. For him, the twelve battleships were more than enough to deal with fifty Dutch battleships, because this was an error. Waiting for the war.
　　
　　 "Are twelve warships enough? This is no joke. Once they rush over our landing troops will suffer heavy losses." Thunder was a little nervous, he didn't want his soldiers to lose their lives at sea.
　　
　　 Yue Yun was full of confidence, "Sending twelve warships is enough to give them face, otherwise six warships are enough."
　　
　　 swallowed, and thunderously watched the sailing battleships getting closer and wider, because he knew that these battleships must be equipped with similar bombs, which was a great threat to them.
　　
　　 Eric stood on the deck and looked at the Imperial battleship that Sanlu had outflanked them. His face was pale. He knew that there was going to be a fierce naval battle.
　　
　　If the Chinese Empire battleships were all overwhelmed, he wouldn't worry. Now sending a mere twelve ships really scared him, because it just proved the terrible nature of these iron-clad ships, so Yue Yun would be so confident.
　　
　　 At this time, they were still three or four miles apart. It was too late for him to escape, but as a Dutch soldier he obviously couldn't do that.
　　
　　 gritted his teeth, he also headed up, now they are in the upper wind, which is extremely beneficial to them, at the moment of contact, they can use the wind to complete the "T".
　　
　　 "General, can you start?" On the King's, the adjutant asked Yue Yun for instructions.
　　
　　 The two sides are getting closer and closer, and they are about to enter the fighting distance.
　　
　　 Yue Yun nodded, and he said: "Let's start, end the battle as soon as possible!" He has no worries about this battle. In the face of the absolute power gap, the war is nothing but a unilateral crush.
　　
　　 "It's ~EbookFREE.me~General!" The adjutant folded back and said to the messenger who was waiting for orders: "Fire!"
　　
The small red flag was waving in the hand of the messenger, and then there was a roar. Standing on the deck of thunder, I saw the ironclad ship trembling, and the cone-shaped shells flew to the distant Dutch fleet in a thunderous manner, leading instantly. The Dutch battleship was hit by a shell and turned into a sea of ​​flames.
　　
　　 "Do these fools think that we will still fight against T? Our warship is fighting in all directions." Yue Yun sneered.
　　
　　 The battleship was burning, the chaotic sawdust scattered in the sea, the blue sea was instantly dyed red, and the sea was full of the screams of Dutch soldiers struggling.
　　
　　 "Help, help!" the Dutch soldier in the water shouted.
　　
　　The water quickly attracted the sharks, and the Dutch soldiers could see sharks moving under their feet, which deepened their fear.
　　
　　 But Eric was already frightened, he just looked numbly at the soldiers struggling in the water.
　　
　　The other Dutch soldiers were shocked by this amazing scene. They were all self-experienced naval soldiers, but they had never encountered such a strange situation.
　　
　　 Faced with this kind of combat method of the Chinese Imperial Navy, they rushed to a period of deep powerlessness.
　　
　　 It's just that this is just the beginning of their fear. After the bombardment, the armored ship with black smoke quickly approached them at an alarming speed and surrounded them in three directions. )!!
