The journey starts from the Titanic

Major General Ruben sat in the command captain's room of the Commanding Union of Seven Provinces uneasy. After a while, he hadn't received a reconnaissance report from the seaplane, and he had a foreboding that something would happen.

Just as he was about to send the last plane, an officer rushed in in a panic, making Major General Ruben displeased, and wanted to reprimand the reckless officer.

"Airplane! A lot of planes are coming outside! The planes of the South China Army are coming." Although the Dutch officer's words were a little incoherent, Major General Ruben heard it, and he hurried out.

A group of yellow-blue painted planes flew in the sky, densely packed, estimated to be more than thirty.

It was a Nanhua plane. They flew very low, almost flying over the sea. The speed was very fast, much faster than ordinary seaplanes.

The plane is used to deal with the battleship?

Major General Ruben came up with this idea, feeling a little absurd.He stomped the Union of Seven Provinces under his feet. This 7,000-ton iron guy is not something that an airplane machine gun can penetrate.

But what made him embarrassed was that there were almost no weapons on the ship that could restrain the opponent's aircraft, and even the flagship Seven Provinces Soyuz did not install anti-aircraft machine guns.

"Fight up the machine gun, don't let the plane come by." Major General Ruben ordered.

So a group of sailors came up on the deck, hurriedly lifting the muzzle of the heavy Maxine machine gun, which was not an easy task.

In the blink of an eye, the Nanhua plane had flown over. In front of them were 10 Cummins biplane fighters, two by two, flying in formation.

Since the Dutch fleet is not equipped with professional fighter jets, the two or three seaplanes it carries are almost negligible in the face of more than 30 aircraft of the South China Air Force. Therefore, the battle has a surprising scene.

"Da da da"

The previously arrived South China fighters fired first. The nose shot out a series of bullets, hitting the deck of the Union of Seven Provinces, knocking down the Maxine machine gun that was so hard to add up, and then the second and third planes. Flying over the Seven Provinces Soyuz, high-speed bullets hit the deck, sweeping down the exposed Dutch sailors.

In just one round, more than a dozen Dutch sailors were killed under the guns of South China’s aircraft.

"hateful!"

Major General Ruben cursed, and was immediately pulled back into the cabin by the clever guard.

He stood in the cockpit, looking at the South China plane surrounding the Confederation of Seven Provinces, his face was pale, and he wanted to draw out his pistol and knock down the damn "mosquito".

He compared the Nanhua plane to a mosquito.In terms of size, the Nanhua aircraft is too far away from the Seven Provinces Union, it is indeed a mosquito.

The only troublesome thing is that although these mosquitoes "bit" and do not penetrate the thick skin of the warship, they kill a lot of people on board.

In less than two minutes, there were already a lot of Dutch navy bodies on the deck of the Soyuz. The officers who had not yet picked up lay on the deck and moaned in pain. They tried to reach out to the cabin and shouted for help.

A medical soldier rushed out and was about to bring a wounded Dutch officer back. After two steps, a plane suddenly fell behind and the blood slowly stained the deck.

"Asshole! Too savage!" Major General Ruben's eyes reddened, and he clenched his fist tightly. He was irritated by the scene outside.

"Da da da"!

A Thoreau bullet suddenly broke into the cockpit, shattering the glass of the cockpit. Two Dutch officers who could not dodge were shot. The large-caliber bullets of the aviation machine gun made several holes in them, and the blood constantly penetrated. , Seeing no cure.

Everyone began to realize that the cockpit was not safe and looked at each other.

"Shoot!" Major General Ruben took out his pistol and walked to the door, shooting at the plane above him.

Infected by him, other Dutch sailors also found bunkers to shoot at planes in the air.

The bullets of the Dutch sailors angered the South China pilots. They turned their heads abruptly and swept down the bold Dutch sailors.

Suddenly, there was a loud gunfire, and the bullets fired by the Nanhua plane splashed down like water.

Fighting a plane was not so easy. The Dutch sailors who could not dodge were hit one after another, fell to the ground and howled in pain.

"Withdraw!" Major General Ruben decisively stopped the futile act of hitting the plane and ordered the Dutch fleet to take shelter temporarily.

After entering this time, he deeply felt the importance of air defense.If the ship is equipped with more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns, will Nanhua planes dare to be arrogant?

Major General Ruben thought, a little unhappy.

Back in Jakarta, he installed machine guns on the Dutch warships, a large number of machine guns, to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.

I was frustrated to think about it. The steel battleship of tens of thousands of tons was rushed away by a small plane. No one believed it.

All this happened in just a few minutes. Except for the loss of some personnel, the Seven Provinces Soyuz had no major problems, but the situation of the small-tonnage destroyers and gunboats was a bit miserable.

Two gunboats were strafed by Nanhua aircraft, and more than half of the people on board were killed and injured, and they were in a mess.

After Major General Ruben gave the order to retreat, he stayed on the sea without any reaction, motionless.

"Want to escape? No way! The real meal hasn't started yet?"

After the fighter jets raged, the slower bomber finally flew over.Seeing the enemy turning around, they were anxious.

The pilot yanked the joystick and dived down full of ammunition, leaving the bomb on the deck of the Dutch fleet.

After being strafed by fighter jets, the Dutch fleet was almost empty of combat personnel on the deck, so the South China bombers flew to the enemy less than 100 meters away and dropped bombs.

"Boom boom!"

A violent explosion sounded on the deck of the Seven Provinces Soyuz. A 152mm caliber cannon was destroyed. The huge barrel tilted down and fell down decadently.

A Dutch sailor was also on the deck with a heavy gun barrel and passed out in pain.

Major General Reuben watched what was happening outside, his eyes were cracked and his liver was chilling.

After all, the bomber was not the kind of torpedo bomber that made people afraid of ten years later, two or three of the tens of thousands of tons of super warships were dead.

The 50 kilograms of bombs dropped by South China’s bombers landed on the Seven Provinces Union and exploded craters one after another on the deck. It was huge, but unfortunately it failed to destroy the internal structure of the warship, and the Seven Provinces Union was safe and sound.

"Boom!"

A bomb landed near the cockpit, and the shock wave of the explosion distorted the cockpit, and shrapnel splashed, killing Dutch officers in the cockpit.

Major General Ruben was crushed under his body, and the adjutant next to him helped him block the shrapnel. The brave soldier was shot and killed.

Major General Ruben's chest was up and down violently. Did he think he was going to see God just now?He had just passed by with death, his head was a little confused, and he had not yet woken up.

His face was cut by a piece of splashing glass, and the hot sensation gradually awoke his consciousness and continued to command the battle.

On the Seven Provinces Soyuz, surrounded by more than a dozen South China planes, there was a continuous roar, hovering over the Dutch like a group of death.

The bomber that had thrown the bomb was a little dissatisfied, and continued to hover over the Dutch fleet, pouring out all the bullets.

Suddenly, the Dutchman was beaten up and down, which was so miserable.

At this moment, how much the Dutch wanted to leave this ghost place, and their lack of power to fight back was so frustrating.

Major General Ruben pushed away the body of the adjutant next to him, walked to the cockpit, and looked at the outside anxiously.

After being hit by a bomb, the view of the cockpit became wider, but Major General Ruben was in a bad mood.
