1890 King of Southeast Asia

At this time, Liu Yiming, who was far away in Sishui, was tinkering with a crystal radio.

"Prime Minister, telegram from the front!" It was already June 12, and Liu Yiming received the first telegram after the plan started.

"Read it!" Liu Yiming put down the messy coil in his hand and said.

"Give it to me." Sitting in his seat, he saw that the secretary had not spoken, so he said.

The telegram was very thick, and it was sent from Singapore.

"As planned, our troops successfully raided the Medan dock in the early morning of June 11. At 10 a.m. on the 11th, our troops had occupied the block outside the port and the fort. At 4 p.m., the second brigade of the second division of the army had all landed."

"As of 5 p.m. on June 11, our troops had advanced into the city, occupied the dock warehouse, three blocks, and seven administrative agencies. The battle for the city is currently underway. The Dutch have built barricades and are waiting for cannons and other equipment."

"As of 5 p.m. on June 11, a total of 116 soldiers were injured and 67 were killed in the army. The casualties mainly came from the battle for the city. We request the allocation of grenades, rocket launchers and other weapons and equipment - June 11, Wang Yang."

Then there was a telegram from the navy. Compared with the limited progress of the army, the navy was much better.

"The navy raided the Dutch navy in the early morning of the 11th. At 9 a.m. on the 11th, after three hours of fierce fighting, the Dutch navy announced its surrender and we successfully captured the port."

"As of 9 a.m., we have sunk a total of five enemy warships, damaged four warships or auxiliary ships, captured fifteen auxiliary ships, and two thousand-ton warships."

"As of 9 a.m., the 501 ship hit a reef and sank, the 502 ship was moderately damaged, the immigrant was slightly damaged, the 601 torpedo boat was seriously damaged, and the 602 boat was slightly damaged."

"As of 12 a.m., the navy had 44 casualties, 62 serious injuries, and 26 minor injuries, with more than half of the casualties."

"As of 12 a.m., I have to announce that the navy has lost its combat effectiveness. Except for the immigrant who continues to provide fire support, the navy will withdraw from the battle."

"In addition, the ship has lost the ability to return and is undergoing emergency repairs. Please send personnel to support and replenish ammunition, etc. - Zhao Jiaxing on June 11."

…………

Time goes back to the first time Tang Hongming withdrew from the battle.

"Engine room, report the situation!" Seeing that they had left the battlefield, the torpedo boat slowly sailed towards the Vega. Tang Hongming leaned against the hatch to support his weak body.

When he was charging just now, his body was secreting adrenaline crazily. After the excitement period, he fell into depression.

"Engine No. 1 is faulty and is being checked." Damage control reported.

Damage control is a technician plus three soldiers.

Time is short, and the serious engine group has not learned how to repair it yet, so they can only learn while fighting.

"Two cylinders of engine No. 1 are broken, the transmission shaft is bent, and the vibration is very large. It cannot be repaired on the ship and must be replaced at the dock." The technician said after checking.

Tang Hongming was about to say that he would return to the voyage.

"Captain, the Immigrant has received an order to launch a second round of attack as soon as possible." The first mate suddenly said.

The standard establishment of the Prairie Wolf-class torpedo boat is nine people, but now it is actually equipped with 14 people, so the first mate plays the role of a messenger.

"Second round?" Tang Hongming said in surprise.

It's no wonder he was surprised. According to the performance of the Dutch Navy in Surabaya, shouldn't they have surrendered long ago?

"Load the torpedoes! Quick!" Tang Hongming ordered loudly without time to think.

Driving a warship, you have to be loud at this time! But fifty years later, you still have to rely on shouting, that's really despicable.

The torpedo boats began to get busy, but the installation of torpedoes is a very troublesome thing, especially the Prairie Wolf class is a rush job, and the second loading needs to be hoisted from the Vega.

"No. 501 was hit!" While busy, Tang Hongming suddenly heard the first mate's exclamation.

He immediately grabbed the telescope and observed the battle situation. Unfortunately, the distance was too far and the smoke was too heavy to see things clearly.

"Quick! Hoist one down first, there is a winch on the ship, we will install it ourselves." Tang Hongming threw the telescope to the first mate and shouted at the Vega.

…………

"Report the damage!" Ma Chaoqun climbed up from the ground and shouted.

"The left side was hit, and all the artillerymen on the left secondary gun were killed. The hull was slightly damaged." It took a while for the damage control to shout.

"Replacement artillerymen, continue firing." Ma Chaoqun shouted subconsciously.

"Speed ​​nine knots, pay attention to avoid shelling."

Zhao Jiaxing boarded the Immigration and coordinated firepower. As the battle was imminent, Ma Chaoqun returned to 501.

The gun that hit 501 was an old 120mm gun, which also fired black powder shrapnel. Shrapnel was the suggestion of former Governor Pinak after the battle in the port.

It was obvious that the Dutch Navy did not learn the essence. Black powder shrapnel had less charge and was not very reliable. Perhaps from here, the Dutch Navy was truly doomed to fail.

"11 o'clock direction, 1,600 yards away, concentrate firepower, and hit this one first." Ma Chaoqun shouted.

Judging from the flames on it, this is a semi-wooden or wooden warship. If it is sunk first, it can reduce some pressure. For wooden warships, the power of 150 guns is completely sufficient.

Boom!

It had been 40 minutes since the battle began, and what puzzled Ma Chaoqun was that many Dutch warships had not yet raised black smoke.

The sun had risen, and through the smoke, Ma Chaoqun saw that many gun positions had no artillery and had not yet fired.

"Are they short of manpower?" Ma Chaoqun had a thought in his mind.

There are more than one who has this idea, but also the immigration number that is attacking the shore.

"On the left, the banner of the Army has risen." The deputy deputy reported.

"The right turret is also. They sent a signal and said that without encountering resistance, they were calling artillery, hoping to use the cannon on the turret."

"Strange, what are the Dutch people doing? Did the chicks incubate?" Zhao Jiaxing murmured.

"The No. 1 transmitting rack keeps suppressing the central turret, and the rest of the support port fighting." Zhao Jiaxing ordered.

The movement of the immigration is faster. It was originally a navy, but it was a firepower to support the ship. It could only cover the army. Now it can join the naval battle.

"Choose the goal freely and accelerate the loading." The vice vice shouted.

Perhaps under the infection of the major vice, the reload that could not be completed in 12 minutes anyway, this time it took less than 11 minutes.

"Aiming at the target!" The three launch racks were carefully adjusted.

wu ~*18

The second launch rack first fired, and the eighteen rockets flew towards the warship densely.

The No. 2 gunman is very smart, and he knows the character of the rocket. It is impossible to snipes. It can only be covered.

No. 3, No. 3 wants to play the effect of Barrett, and aim carefully.

wu ~*18*2

The Dutch and some Javans heard whispered sounds, and looked up subconsciously.

I saw the dense fireball flew over at them, and many soldiers were scared to be bold, and many people jumped into the water, hoping to escape with water.

boom ~ Boom Ronaldo ~

The intensive explosion sounded, but there were few hits.

The rocket cannon is covered with firepower, especially when it is immature now, Liu Yiming is used to make breakthrough firepower, and most of the artillery shells fall into the water.

As we all know, water is unable to be compressed, the ability to conduct pressure is particularly good, and many people have jumped their boats ...

How many people did not know about this wave. Anyway, the Navy later liked to bathe the enemy's port with rockets more than ten kilometers.

In addition, there are very few effects. 54 rounds of shells, 6 rounds hitting five ships in total, and listened to it.

"Hurry up! Put back!" The deputy of the Immigration "shouted, and was stopped by Zhao Jiaxing.

"In the future, it will support the army, and there is no effect. Don't waste ammunition." Zhao Jiaxing said.

The big vice can only be answered weakly, and it cannot be refuted.

This wave has reduced the firepower of the enemy a lot, and it lasted for nearly five minutes to slow down.

"Sinking! Sink another warship again!" The Wanbing shouted on the mast.

Zhao Jiaxing and his party immediately took out the telescope to search carefully.

Nympho

"Sink!" On 501, the crew cheered.

"Okay! That's how to fight, two o'clock in two o'clock, 1400 meters, hit that one!" Ma Chaoqun also shouted excitedly.

501 chase in 5 minutes, a 150mm shells of ten -round 150mm cannon, an average of each shot per minute.

Although the theoretical rate can reach 5 rounds per minute, the hull shakes, smoke, and other factors can only be able to turn on a gun for a long time.

The Navy's artillery is not faster than anyone else. You have to target it again. The hull shakes. It may be aimed at the previous second, because the shaking lost the opportunity and had to re -aim.

Fortunately, it is a fixed target, and the South China Navy has great experience.

Peng!

Ma Chaoqun suddenly heard a crisp sound, and the hull shook very slightly.

BOOM!

Ma Chaoqun felt a huge shaking of the hull, followed by a huge sound, and then the No. 501 gunboat stopped slowly.

"Report, the No. 1 boiler is damaged, the transmission shaft is stuck, and it is being repaired!" No Ma Chaoqun asked, and the damage tube immediately reported.

"How about the No. 2 boiler?" The cannon ship had two boilers in total, not far apart, and there was only a thin layer of protection in the middle. Ma Chaoqun asked nervously.

"The boiler No. 2 is running normally." After the loss, the damage tube rushed back to the power compartment and rescued the transmission shaft.

The No. 1 boiler is installed on the front of the hull, the coal cabin on both sides, and the No. 2 boiler at the rear, and the middle is separated by a thin layer of cooked iron plate.

This time is a 200mm artillery shell, coming from the front, and directly from the ship's position.

However, the luck is very good. The black gunpowder bombs are very unreliable. This cannonball is a dumb bomb, but fortunately breaks the two layers of protection and two cabins. It hit the boiler compartment and caused an explosion.

But 501 was very lucky. The weak artillery shells were stuck on the boiler. It should have caused the attack of the boiler's Big Bang, and only a pit was miraculously smashed.

After the air pressure balance was destroyed, the boiler was like a machine that burst into rice at a young age, and a strong air pressure burst forward, but only the ship was blew.

But the lucky will always care for 501?
