Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1073
“Retreat! Retreat!”
Eric let out a hoarse roar, and now even fools can see that they have no hope of victory. If they continue, they will only face annihilation.
But he was wrong, because Yue Yun was not going to let any Dutch warship leave this time.
was ordered, the iron armored ship quickly completed the outflanking at three times the speed of the sailing warship, and 12 warships bombarded the Dutch warships from three aspects.
In the face of desperation, Eric slowly closed his eyes, and then he shouted: “Even if we are going to lose this war today, we must let the people of the Chinese Empire understand the unyielding will of our Dutch and let the gunner reload and fight back. !”
Following Eric’s order, the remaining forty-two warships shot at the iron armored ships outside.
“Boom boom boom…”
Dense shells flew out, and shells continued to fall on the iron armored ship, and the iron armored ship that was hit was immediately surrounded by the sea of fire.
Looking at the iron-clad ship shrouded in flames and smoke, the Dutch soldiers uttered a huge cheer. At this time, a wave of hope rose in their hearts.
But this hope was completely destroyed when the iron armored ship rushed into the flames and smoke, and appeared before them intact.
For the Dutch round bombs, it is impossible to blow up the armor of hundreds of millimeters thick iron armored ships. Although there are many shells on the iron armored ships, they are just tickling the iron armored ships.
The cheers stopped abruptly, and all the Dutch warships fell into dead silence.
There is no despair that makes navy soldiers feel more sad than a warship in front of it but unable to destroy it.
The smile that had just appeared on Eric’s face seemed to freeze, and he put down the telescope, feeling sad.
As the former maritime hegemony, the Dutch lost to the British and eventually led to the decline of hegemony. Now that hegemony who can defeat the British has appeared, he can foresee that the British maritime hegemony will end in the hands of the Chinese Empire.
In the future maritime trade, any country will look up to the Chinese Empire to live a life.
When he was desperate, the iron-clad ship aimed its muzzle at the Dutch battleship. As the artillery roared, several battleships in the Dutch battleship exploded and turned into a sea of flames.
The fierce artillery fire was only the beginning. The iron armored ship was reloading very quickly. They hadn’t reacted yet, and another round of shelling came.
In a short period of time, half of the fifty Dutch warships will blow up, and in the next time they can only watch one after another sink.
Not far away, Lei Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, Lei Ming said: “I really envy your navy. With the iron armored ship, you will be able to run wild on the ocean from now on.”
Yue Yun did not deny this time that the Sailing Warship and the Ironclad Warship were not equal opponents, and the naval battle in front of him proved his idea.
From now on, the ocean will no longer belong to the Europeans.
At the same time that the ironclad was victorious, the landing mission of the army was basically completed, because the artillery was about to destroy the Dutch coastal defense.
The landing operation was not disturbed by the local fleet. This time the landing went smoothly.
After the first batch of soldiers set foot on the beach, Lei Ming immediately asked the semaphore to convey the order. The soldiers carried light and heavy weapons and immediately approached the enemy 200 meters and began to build fortifications.
A machine gun and mortar were also placed in place, ready to attack the trench position.
At the same time, Simon and Eifel in the trench were in a complicated mood, and they all saw the battle at sea.
Now that all fifty warships have been sunk, Eric has no chance of surviving.
Inside the trench, Stephen’s face is extremely pale. Although he has a lot of opinions on Eric, he is Dutch after all.
Watching him die in the sea with the Dutch battleship, he still felt very sad, but this pain only lasted for a few seconds, because he would face greater trouble next.
Because Eric failed to prevent the landing of the Imperial soldiers, the Imperial soldiers who landed successfully will launch an offensive against them.
If they lose their position again this time, their Jakarta will be lost together.
“Da da da”
“…boom…”
Just when Stephen was worried, a strange sound suddenly sounded. He had heard the sound of the machine gun, but he had never heard the latter sound.
After this sound, there were suddenly hundreds of explosions on the ground.
Simon and Eifel were also stunned by the sudden explosion. Unsuspectingly, this round of explosion caused hundreds of casualties to their soldiers.
When they were shocked, as the same sound rang and another explosion sounded, Simon looked out and found that the Imperial soldiers were manipulating a strange weapon.
This kind of weapon is different from any artillery, but a very short artillery. Soldiers only need to push the weird-shaped cannonball inside, and the cannonball will fly in a high arc and fall vertically.
And in this way, the trench is basically equivalent to a dummy to them.
Under the bombardment of artillery, the Dutch soldiers panicked. They hated the feeling of being killed by a strange weapon.
Some soldiers even hid in the dirt hole again to avoid the bombing.
Although Eifel and West also wanted to hide, the situation this time was obviously different from the shelling of the Imperial battleship.
The Imperial soldiers are now 200 meters away. As long as they hide in, these soldiers can rush to the trench at any time.
So, now they can only face off against the Imperial soldiers with gunfire, but as a result, their casualties have increased dramatically again.
“Hit me hard, don’t be afraid of wasting shells, you can pay back if you capture Jakarta.” San Yuzhu shouted to the mortar.
These soldiers have been trained in Qingzhou and then returned to the army, so they are very familiar with the use of mortars.
“Yes, leader.”
With San Yuzhus approval~~ The mortarers shot out the shells one by one, and the positions not far away kept exploding.
While the mortar fired its power, the machine gun was not idle. The machine gunner fired frantically at the trench, and the bullets flew towards the Dutch like raindrops.
According to their combat plan, this time they want to make full use of the advantages of their weapons, so they will not stop when the firepower coverage effect is not achieved.
A little bit of time passed, and the number of mortar shells decreased one by one, and the Dutch position had been bombed out of shape.
On the battleship, Thunder had been watching the situation of the Dutch trenches. After finding that there were no soldiers in the Dutch position daring to show his head, he ordered the charge to be sounded.
was ordered to charge, the soldiers rushed to the Dutch position with Han-style rifles. At this time, sporadic gunfire began to sound, and soldiers were hit by bullets and fell to the ground.
It’s just that all these gunshots can no longer stop the large-scale charge of the Imperial soldiers. ) Download the free reader!!
