Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 619 Rampage of the Dutch East India Company

The Imperial Navy built a line of defense on the tidal flats of Batavia City, and the Marine Corps was responsible for the security within the area of ​​the line of defense.

The rest of the naval combatants began to set up tents to prepare for rest.

The medical soldiers, wearing masks, white gloves, and white coats, salvaged all the corpses of the Han people floating in the sea, spread them in the open space on the shore, and covered them with military white cloth.

Li Mingrui, Zheng Chenggong and other imperial navy officers came over, bowed deeply to the dead Han people in front of them, and saluted.

Gradually, other imperial navy officers and soldiers also came over one after another to pay respects to these dead Han people.

As a result, the whole night seemed particularly quiet. The blazing bonfire reflected the resolute faces, but the deep eyes could not hide the anger that was more violent than the flames.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Zheng Chenggong stood up suddenly and yelled, Li Mingrui yelled, and the rest of the Imperial Navy officers and soldiers all yelled.

Howling like wolves, roaring like ghosts and gods, roaring like huge waves, with the rising and falling tides, the majestic voice was pushed to a climax, shocking the Dutch red-haired fans in the city of Batavia not far away.

Because the total strength of the Marine Corps of the South China Sea Fleet is no more than [-], and the number of Dutch Red-haired Fans in Batavia City plus the hired natives is tens of thousands, so in the following days, the South China Sea Fleet of the Ming Empire did not rush to organize counterattacks. Instead of attacking the city of Batavia, they continued to consolidate their tidal flat positions, and at the same time organized the Marine Corps to launch "hunting" attacks around the coast.

As long as there are natives, they will be shot and killed.

Half a month later, the Imperial East Sea Fleet arrived in Batavia one after another, and the Eighth Army of the Guards Army transported by the East Sea Fleet also landed. At the same time, the East Sea Fleet and the China Southern Fleet attacked the entire archipelago from east and west directions and prevented the Dutch colonists from evacuating from Karopa Island.

The Eighth Army of the Guards Army was responsible for retaliatory strikes against the Orang-Maofan and indigenous people in the entire Batavia and the island where it was located, Karopa Island.

At the same time, the Marine Corps of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet also participated in the operation, led by Gu Sanmazi and Zheng Chenggong respectively.

In other words, the total number of Ming troops participating in the retaliatory action was nearly [-].

The Marine Corps of the East China Sea Fleet and the China Southern Fleet were responsible for sweeping the surrounding areas, while the Eighth Army of the Guards Army was responsible for attacking the city fortresses such as Batavia City built by the Dutch.

……

And the Netherlands has also organized city defense. The governor of the Dutch East India Company, Masiike, sent [-] native soldiers to strengthen the city defense. At the same time, he pulled out all ten [-]-pound smoothbore cannons, and first attacked The Guards fired a round of artillery.

Boom!
The guard artillery also pulled out 36 rifled land cannons, and launched a round of violent bombardment on the city of Batavia.

The Dutch East India Company used smoothbore guns and solid iron bullets. The gunpowder was still traditional black powder, and even the artillery did not have the principle of flintlock firing.

The Ming Dynasty Guard Army is a rifled cannon, and the shell is a flowering grenade with nitration explosive as the propellant and copper-zinc alloy as the shrapnel, and has a firing structure based on the principle of flintlock firing.

Therefore, when the Dutch defenders in Batavia fired a round of solid iron bullets, the Guards had already fired three rounds of artillery.

Moreover, the power of each round of artillery strikes is extremely powerful. The city of Batavia, which was built of solid stone, was bombarded with gravel in an instant, and the Dutch and native soldiers on the battlements were blown up and blown into pieces in an instant. pieces.

However, the solid iron bullets of the Dutch defenders did not cause too many casualties to the Guards except for the ten large holes in the Guards camp. Only a few infantrymen were unlucky and were hit. At that time, the Guards artillery had destroyed the fort on the city gate, and had buried all the Dutch artillery and native soldiers on the city wall in the sand.

"Kill!"

Guards cavalry and Guards infantry rushed over.

Today's guard cavalry is also equipped with thermal weapons.

The lighter and more flexible Chongzhen 27-type cavalry rifle can make any cavalry skillful on horseback to carry out accurate shooting.

Moreover, the recoil of this cavalry rifle is relatively small due to the improvement of gunpowder and bolt. Although the range is not as good as the bolt-type rifle used by the Guards infantry, it is still enough to surpass the range of the previous strong bow, and it also saves cavalry physical strength.

The cavalry of the Guards rode their horses and rushed towards the city of Batavia.

At this time, the city walls of Batavia were in ruins.

Most of the western buildings in the city have been destroyed, so the cavalry of the guards can easily jump into the city of Batavia with a single horse, and let the horses trample on the corpses of the Dutch soldiers and native soldiers. Go with the local soldiers to kill.

"Hurry up!"

The governor of the Dutch East India Company, Masiek, did not expect that the defense of Batavia City, which he had carefully built for more than ten years, would be breached by the artillery of the Ming army. He really did not expect the artillery fire of the Ming army to be so sharp and fierce. When the artillery was not live ammunition and could even be fired almost every minute, I saw Ming cavalry rushing over.

Ma Suike ordered his musketeers to block up and block the attack.

Three thousand red-haired fans skillfully turned on the triggers of their flintlock guns and formed three queues, walking towards the guard cavalry.

The cavalry of the Guards rode their horses and pulled the bolt to successfully insert the bullet into the brain of a red-haired fan. At the same time, they pulled the bolt sideways and fired another shot. The Chongzhen Type 27 cavalry rifle has five bullets in a magazine. Therefore, the guard cavalry can pull the bolt and shoot five times in a row without changing the magazine.

However, Hong Maofan can only use a clumsy flintlock gun to fire one bullet in 30 seconds. Even with three-stage shooting, it cannot compare with the cavalry of the Guards who fired five bullets in an instant. Moreover, the number of cavalry in the Guards Army is quite large, tens of thousands, and they do not use three-stage shooting, but uninterrupted firepower strikes.

Therefore, more than half of these red-haired musketeers were killed by the cavalry of the Guards just after meeting each other. The rest of the red-haired fans dropped their flintlock guns and ran back without thinking, or knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The Guards cavalry immediately drew out their sabers and slashed at them. Like cutting white pigs, they cut these red-haired fans kneeling on the ground or running forward in half, and their flesh and blood flew all over the place.

At this time, the infantry unit of the Guards also rushed from behind.

Today's Ming Guard infantry not only have rifles, but are now equipped with Chongzhen 28 manual machine guns, but the current machine guns are still in their initial stages. The entire Chongzhen 28 manual machine guns are about the same size as artillery and artillery vehicles, and five soldiers are required to be responsible for a manual machine gun. , but despite this, he can still instantly form a dense firepower attack on a target with 1 rounds of bullets per minute.

At this time, the guard infantry immediately pushed such a giant machine gun into the city of Batavia.

However, there is no dense firepower point in the city of Batavia that can be hit by the Chongzhen 28-type manual machine gun.

As long as a few red-haired pans show their heads, hundreds of bullets from Shuo Suo will pour in, hitting these red-haired pans that have just poked out half of their heads, and their brains and blood will burst out, and they will even be interrupted in half. All of the body.

　I'm sorry, I was really uncomfortable yesterday, so I took a rest for a day, and I took the time to go to the hospital another day, and I will resume the update today
