The journey starts from the Titanic

"Yeah!" Major General Ruben nodded, suddenly remembering that the South China Army used 105mm heavy artillery on the Aceh battlefield, which shows that it is entirely possible for the opponent to build a fort in Belawan.

"Try it and you'll know." Major General Ruben ordered the Dutch and Indian fleet to enter Bela Bay carefully.In particular, his flagship Seven Provinces Soyuz, with 10 Bofors 152mm main guns raised high, aimed at the port.

Nanhua has a large number of industries in Belawan Port, and has put all the advanced port equipment purchased from the United States in Belawan. The future construction of Nanhua will have to rely on this port to import various equipment, so it cannot be easily occupied by the Dutch. This important port.

"Are you here?" On a high mountain in the harbor, He Wenxiu led a few Nanhua army generals to look at the recent Dutch fleet in Belawan, with cold eyes.

"Aim at the enemy flagship and teach him a lesson." He Wenxiu said.

Following his order, the three three-headed turrets arranged in a horned position began to shell the Dutch fleet. Nine 208mm Krupp cannons roared and the shells fell 2 kilometers in front of the Dutch fleet, deafening.

The momentum was great, but the effect was so bad that even a hair of the Dutch fleet was not injured.

"Damn! The level of these artillery is too low." He Wenxiu cursed inwardly.The time for South China to become an army was too short, and these artillery were trained by German military advisers in the past two days.

The actual combat experience is zero. After the cannons are installed, although they are simulating shooting training every day, they are afraid of revealing their strength. These cannons have never really fired once.

The commander of the artillery was a German military adviser. His face turned red, and he immediately ordered the artillery to adjust his angle.

"Correct the angle!"

Under his command, Nanhua’s coastal defense artillery constantly adjusted its angles, and the artillery shots were getting closer and closer to the Dutch fleet.

At the same time, the Dutch fleet was also firing artillery. The shells landed on the reinforced concrete bunker, not hurting the South China artillery inside at all, but aroused their fighting spirit.

"Boom!" A shell fell on the water 30 meters in front of the Union of Seven Provinces, and the splash caused by the explosion shocked Major General Ruben.

Damn, the caliber of the opponent's coastal defense gun is at least 200 mm. If one gets caught, the Seven Provinces Soyuz will be immortal and disabled.

It is stupid to use warships against land forts, and the Dutch are naturally not stupid.

It seemed to verify Major General Ruben's concern. Suddenly, a shell fell on a Dutch destroyer and there was a violent explosion. The Dutch warship was kicked like a giant, broken in two, and sank in a short while.

too frightening!

Seeing the Dutch sailors struggling on the water, Major General Ruben was chilled and realized the great danger.When will you not run at this time?

"Withdraw! Withdraw from Bela Bay!" Major General Ruben said decisively, not forgetting to order a gunboat to rescue the sailors who fell into the water.

The Dutch fleet turned around one after another, tracing a beautiful arc in the not-so-wide Bela Bay, flying away, moving fast and unrestrained, a bit like a maritime kingdom, which made He Wenxiu look a little envious.

At least those guys in Nanhua are not as handsome as the Dutch people!Although those people have been pirates for several years....

Less than half an hour before and after, the Dutch fleet arrogantly approached after being hit by the powerful fire from the South China Fort, and withdrew back to the open sea with gray heads and gray faces.

On the way out, the Dutch fleet lost another gunboat and a transport and supply ship.

Although the loss was small, Major General Ruben was already scared.

"Damn it, those yellow-skinned monkeys are equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery. Where did they get these things?" Major General Ruben cursed.There are lingering fears.

The Dutch officer next to him wanted to remind him that he had reminded Major General Ruben to think about the enemy's shore defense artillery, but seeing his boss with a sullen face and a bad mood, he had to swallow the words.

At the same time, on the British warships, the faces of the representatives of the great powers changed.They have seen the scene just now, and the British, French, and Italians put their eyes on the faces of the American representatives for the first time.

The U.S. representative did not seem to see everyone's gaze, and the gaze had not yet recovered from the Dutch fleet not far away.In fact, Nanhua’s heavy artillery is smuggled from the German Krupp company, and has nothing to do with the Americans.The only thing that matters is that it spent millions of dollars on Meihua.

"It seems that the situation of our Dutch counterparts is a bit bad." The Italian said casually.

There was some gloating in the smile of the Italian representative.Yes, a small Netherlands can occupy the wealthy Indonesian archipelago, while the powerful Italy has nothing. Even the entry and exit of the Mediterranean depends on the face of the British, which is too inconsistent with the status of the Italian powers.

The British representative's face was a little gloomy, and he said nothing.

I thought: If the Royal Navy were to land in Medan, the 200mm cannon could almost threaten most of the Royal Navy’s warships.

No wonder those Chinese are so emboldened, because they are not afraid of the landing of the Dutch fleet.However, they built a large number of forts along the coast of Sumatra, which is not a good thing after all.

Although it will not affect the Strait of Malacca for the time being, people have no foresight and must have immediate worries. The emergence of South China faintly challenges British interests and security in the Malay Peninsula.

Thinking of this, the British representative frowned.He has already thought about how to write the report-while South China has not yet risen, it will be stifled in the bud by strong means, otherwise it will always be a curse to the interests of the British Empire in Malacca.

"Why let them run away? The Air Force is ready to at least leave most of the Dutch warships, as well as the other dozen transport ships." Paul said with some dissatisfaction.

Had it not been blocked by He Wenxiu, now that Nanhua's plane was already over the Dutch fleet, how could it be possible for the other side to leave so smartly?

"Haha! Don't worry! They will come back again. Are you willing to be you?" He Wenxiu smiled more at Paul.

Chapter 93 Sweeping Sumatra (11)

"I hope! But next time I will never let it slip away again." Paul said angrily.

The Dutch fleet returning to the open sea is facing a difficult decision: withdraw or not?

The army generals advocated changing to rescue the Dutch and Indian colonial forces in Banda Aceh. Their reason was that since the landing had failed, they might as well land from Banda Aceh and attack Medan by land.

The navy sneered at this.The army couldn't even win the South China Second Division. It was a dream to go through the jungle and attack Medan.

Uh, they have already heard that the South China Army is good at jungle warfare. The Dutch and Indian colonial army was pressed and beaten by the South China Army from the tropical rain forest, step by step to a situation where they could not protect themselves.

While talking, the officers of the sea and land factions quarreled again.

Major General Ruben had to be furious again.He never thought of giving up landing in Medan, and the Dutch fleet was so arduous that they couldn't just sneak back just because the enemy had a few turrets.

"Except for Bela Bay, Medan has a long coastline. We can find another place to land. I don't believe that those yellow-skinned monkeys will have forts everywhere?"

Major General Ruben resolutely said.

The situation on the Dutch island of Sumatra is relatively well understood. After some discussion, Major General Ruben decided to land on a beach 50 kilometers east of Bela Bay, less than 80 kilometers from Medan. Once the landing is successful, the Dutch The Indian colonial army could launch an attack on Medan within a day.

On the morning of the third day, the once-disappeared Dutch fleet reappeared off Medan, rushing to the land with a murderous attitude.

To be cautious, the Dutch fleet dispatched seaplanes to conduct reconnaissance on the target area.

Major General Ruben held up his binoculars and silently observed the quiet beach in the distance. The beach was a coconut grove. Such a scene is too common in Southeast Asia.

Behind the lens barrel, Major General Ruben's face stern, his expression serious.

"Report! The reconnaissance plane has returned, and the enemy has not deployed defense in the target area." A Dutch officer walked up to Major General Ruben excitedly.

Major General Ruben's face was slightly Panasonic, and he heard the officer next to him continue to report: "I met an enemy plane during the reconnaissance, and there was no exchange of fire, but our position may have been exposed."

So the brows frowned again, and he said in his heart: plane, plane again!What a hate and love!

Although the South China Army found its own side, it was too late for the other side to deploy on the beach. As long as the time is hurry, the landing is still quite certain.

After pondering for a while, Major General Ruben decided to follow the original plan.

The arrival of the Dutch broke the tranquil beach, which was covered with coconut trees commonly found in the Indonesian archipelago. The monkeys on the trees were surprised to see the crowds of people coming from the sea, not afraid at all, but squeaked with excitement. call.
