On the heavy cruiser Sagittarius, Count Spee was looking at the Dutch fleet in the distance with a telescope.

“Your Excellency, the Holland people have not fled, it seems that they are preparing to fight us to the death!” A colonel officer had a smile on his face.

Count Spee nodded: “The Holland people are indeed courageous. However, their behavior in this way is simply looking for death! The “Watch” and “The Hunt” were ordered to outflank the two wings. The destroyers will attack with us and solve all these Dutch people! ”

“Yes, Your Excellency!” The officer replied.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The battle soon began, and the three triple 50-caliber 210-mm guns on the heavy cruiser Sagittarius began to fire fiercely, and shells after shells fell on the armored cruiser Batavia.

And the armored cruiser “Batavia” also began to shoot back, firing fiercely from 203-mm naval guns.

However, the armored cruiser “Batavia”, which was only equipped with two twin 203-mm guns, was completely suppressed by the heavy cruiser “Sagittarius” in terms of firepower.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Four A-class destroyers were also firing heavily, and the 105mm naval guns were also extremely powerful.

And the protected cruisers and unprotected cruisers of the Dutch Blue are also firing.

The 155-mm naval guns of the light cruisers “Shouwang” and the light cruisers “Hunting” were also firing from both wings.

The intention of the Far East Fleet of the German Imperial Navy is very obvious, that is, to kill all this fleet of the Dutch Blue people.

The battle was fierce, and the warships on both sides opened heavy fire.

However, the warships of the Germanic Imperial Navy are all new warships that have only been commissioned in recent years, and they have a huge advantage in terms of firepower, defense, and fire control systems.

This caused the Dutch warships to be hit continuously, igniting a raging fire.

“Boom!”

A 210-mm shell accurately hit the foredeck of the armored cruiser “Batavia”.

Not only did it leave a large hole in the foredeck, but it also caused a raging fire. Even the twin 203mm guns were affected and could not continue firing. This instantly reduced the firepower of the armored cruiser “Batavia” by half.

“Very good, seize this opportunity, close the distance, and take out the Dutch Blue in the shortest time!” Count Spee immediately ordered.

Although, for the Far Eastern Fleet of the German Imperial Navy, it was not difficult to defeat the Dutch people. However, the real object of Count Spee’s defense was not the Dutch people, but the sun never set.

The heavy cruiser ‘Sagittarius’ immediately began to turn, actively closing the distance between the engagements.

And as the distance gets closer, the hit rate is constantly improving.

When the distance between the two sides was reduced to eight kilometers, the heavy cruiser Sagittarius was able to hit almost every salvo.

This allowed the armored cruiser “Batavia” to be hit several 210-mm shells in a very short time. As for the rest of the 150-mm shells and 105-mm shells, it is even more unknown how many. The entire superstructure was almost sifted.

“General, the Germanic firepower is too fierce, and the armored cruiser ‘Batavia’ is not an opponent of the other side!” An officer’s face was full of frustration.

“Bastard! Damn Germans, it’s a bully! Major General Conus scolded.

However, he seems to have forgotten that this time it was originally they who provoked their own affairs and looked for death themselves. Otherwise, where would there be so many things!

Under the heavy fire of the heavy cruiser “Sagittarius”, the armored cruiser “Batavia” was quickly sunk.

Rear Admiral Konas and others abandoned ships and fled, and were finally captured by the Germanic Imperial Navy.

And the other warships of the Far East Fleet of the Dutch Blue Navy were also sunk one after another under the blows of the German Imperial Navy.

The Far East Fleet of the Navy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was completely destroyed.

The Germanic Imperial Navy, on the other hand, paid only a small price. No battleships were sunk, only a few ships suffered some minor damage.

The Far East Fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is simply vulnerable in the face of the Far East Fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy.

Of course, they also proved with their actual actions that the Dutch Kingdom’s trouble with the Germanic Empire this time is completely self-defeating and seeking its own death!

On the other side, thousands of troops led by Major General Andrei are still marching towards the gold mines.

Although they had the advantage in strength, Major General Andrei did not dare to take it lightly.

The Germanic Imperial Army is known as the first in the world! Even the retired German Imperial Army is definitely much stronger than the regular army of the Dutch Kingdom.

“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Suddenly, violent explosions kept coming.

The soldiers of the Dutch Blue Army who were on the march came under heavy shelling.

The convoy was firing from 8 120-mm heavy mortars, 16 80-mm medium mortars and 24 60-mm light mortars.

Although the power of the mortar is not great, dozens of mortars fire together.

Shells rained down into the ranks of the Dutch march, and the Dutch people fell on their backs and suffered heavy losses.

Many Dutch were even blown to pieces by shells.

“Enemy attack! We are under attack by the enemy and are ready to fight! Major General Andrei shouted.

The panicked Dutch people, led by the officers, slowly calmed down and began to fight back.

But soon they discovered that even though they numbered thousands, the enemy’s firepower was much stronger than theirs.

The number of heavy and light machine guns was huge, much more than they were equipped with.

This left the Dutch Blue Army completely suppressed, and losses soared.

“General, the firepower of the Germans is too fierce, we can’t bear it, the losses are great, we must retreat!” An officer suggested.

Major General Andrei nodded, the mine convoy chose a very suitable place for ambushes, and the Dutch were completely exposed to the fire of the convoy, which made the losses of the Dutch begin to soar.

Subsequently, Major General Andrei ordered the troops to begin their retreat.

However, in this process, it was pursued by the mine protection team and suffered a lot of losses.

When they retreated to the port, they found that the fleet of the Germanic Imperial Navy had aimed its guns at the port. Their fleet has already been wiped out.

This made the Dutch people extremely desperate, and under the attack of the mine convoy and the navy, the Dutch people suffered heavy losses and directly chose to surrender.
