The journey starts from the Titanic

Lieutenant General Philip sneered and ordered the Dutch fleet to prepare to fire.

"Boom!"

The South China Navy, which fired first, fired before they were still some distance away from the firing range. The shells landed on the sea two kilometers ahead of the Dutch fleet, blowing up several beautiful splashes.

"Damn! A monkey is a monkey! No knowledge at all! They insulted the term navy!" Lieutenant General Philip smiled.

Seeing the poor performance of the South China Navy, the Dutch Navy laughed. They also had similar thoughts with Lieutenant General Philip.

The South China Navy was naturally not stupid. They made a turn before reaching the range of the Dutch fleet and rushed towards the transport ship behind the Dutch fleet.

"Damn! They want to attack our transport ship! Stop them!" Lieutenant General Philip ordered.

The Dutch fleet has a large number of ships, and 8 destroyers are immediately divided to intercept the South China warships, and their main cruisers also follow, preparing to attack the opponent.

Nanhua’s destroyers were fast, regardless of whether they hit or missed them. After bypassing the Dutch fleet, they savagely opened fire on the transport fleet behind them.

It's a bit of disruptive warfare.

Not only did the artillery fire, the five destroyers of South China fired torpedoes at the Dutch transport fleet.

Watching the white waves rolled up by the torpedo on the sea, the Dutch transport fleet dodged and became a mess.

It is a pity that the South China warship released the torpedo too hastily, and it was not yet within the range. As a result, a Dutch ship did not hit it, which only caused confusion in the Dutch fleet.

At this time the Dutch destroyer also rushed over and began to fire at the South China warship.

The South China destroyer fleet looked back and rewarded the opponent with a torpedo, and the Dutch fleet evaded one after another.The South China Navy released torpedoes too early, allowing Dutch warships to easily avoid torpedo attacks.

However, the South China Fleet took advantage of this rare gap, turned the bow, and left the battlefield at high speed before riding the two murderous cruisers of the Dutch fleet.

"These bastards! Do you just want to harass us?" Lieutenant General Philip looked at the South China destroyer fleet in the distance, angrily in his heart.

In fact, the Dutch fleet didn't have any losses, the other side just got more useless work.However, it doesn't feel good to be molested, especially when the opponent is a South Chinese who the Dutch hate.

The South China destroyer was really just teasing the Dutch, and they succeeded in arousing the anger of the Dutch.Looking at the Dutch fleet behind, the South China Navy smiled.

The direction they fled was the Bonga Strait, which was also the direction of the Dutch expeditionary fleet.The two sides almost hit it off, one was running desperately, and the other was chasing after him.

By noon, the two sides had already arrived outside Palembang.

"General, we are about to enter the target area." A Dutch officer came in and reported.

"Are those bastards still running?" Lieutenant General Philip asked.

"Yeah. They turned a corner outside Palembang and have already fled to Wah Hai. Should we continue to chase them?" the Dutch officer asked.

"Coward!" Lieutenant General Philip scolded.The South China destroyer fleet is fast, and there are many islands in the Java Sea. The opponent grabs it at will. It is not easy to find them.

"Ignore them. As originally planned, attack Palembang!" Lieutenant General Philip said.

Before the words were over, the floor underfoot shook, and the cruiser Amsterdam trembled violently. Lieutenant General Philip felt bad!

"What's the matter?" He walked out quickly.

"There was a big explosion from the bottom of the ship, and we were hit by a torpedo." A Dutch officer hurriedly reported.

"Damn it, the submarine! We are in ambush!" Lieutenant General Philip scolded.

Less than 300 meters to the left of the Amsterdam, a torpedo was shooting at high speed, and the white water splashes rolled up by the torpedo caused Lieutenant General Philip's eyes to crack.

"Hurry up!" he shouted into the cockpit.

All this happened in a few breaths, too suddenly, the torpedo speed of up to 50 knots made the Amsterdam nowhere to hide.

"Boom!"

With a violent big explosion, the Amsterdam was blown up high, and fell down fiercely, exploding fierce spray on the sea!

Lieutenant General Philip grabbed the railing tightly, and the Dutch officer who had just reported next to him was shaken into the sea.

After hitting two torpedoes, the Amsterdam was severely deformed, and the hull was blown out of two large holes, both on the same side, the hull was seriously tilted, and a large amount of seawater was pouring in continuously.

"Keep your balance! Fill the watertight tank on the other side!" Lieutenant General Philip ordered.He touched his head and found that his forehead was cool and his hat had been shaken and dropped into the sea.

After a while, the captain came over with a pale face and told Lieutenant General Philip that the Amsterdam was about to sink and was about to abandon the ship.

At this time, the sea surface was thunderous and splashed. The high-speed destroyer was circling in a circle, dropping depth charges into the sea continuously, and must blow out the submarine hiding in the water.

Lieutenant General Philip was angry and angry, with his face on his way down from Amsterdam, and transferred to another cruiser Rotterdam with a group of Dutch sailors on board.

This is the last cruiser.Without this large ship, it is hard to imagine that the brave South China Navy would fight the remaining Dutch fleet directly face-to-face?

"it is good!"

Suddenly there was a cheer, oil on the water surface, and various sundries floating up from the bottom of the sea.

There is no doubt that a hapless South China submarine was sunk by a Dutch destroyer.

In order to prevent the fraudulent death of the South China submarine, the Dutch destroyer dropped a set of depth bombs on the oily sea.

Seeing the large number of fragments emerging on the sea, Lieutenant General Philip was in a slightly better mood.

However, the enemy must have more than one submarine, at least there are still several submarines. The Dutch fleet is not safe yet. Could it be possible that the enemy is hiding in the cold seabed, waiting for an opportunity to give the Dutch fleet another fatal blow?

Lieutenant General Philip ordered the fleet to head towards Palembang.

After leaving the submarine ambush circle and counting the losses, Lieutenant General Philip's face was almost dripping with gloom.

In addition to his flagship 8,000-ton Amsterdam, which was sunk by a submarine, another destroyer and a troop carrier were sunk. More than 5,000 Dutch soldiers fell into the water, but only less than 3,000 people were rescued.

"Damn it! Land in Palembang and kill those despicable yellow-skinned monkeys!" Lieutenant General Philip roared, his face full of murderous expression.

Infected by him, a group of Dutch officers and soldiers who had the same hatred were also full of hatred, ready to go ashore to kill those South Chinese who caused them heavy losses!

No one on the Indonesian archipelago is more proficient in slaughter than the Dutch!

The Dutch colonial rule is much more brutal than the British, French and other European powers. They are still continuing the East India Company's set, and the degree of exploitation is also heinous!

Just as these bandits were clamoring for revenge, the South China Air Force launched a wave of air strikes against the Dutch.They didn't wait for the Dutch to land, let alone give the Dutch a chance to shell Palembang. The Dutch would soon know what the pain is and will be unforgettable.After that, when they mentioned Nanhua, there was endless hatred and a deep chill in their hearts.

"Airplanes! Countless planes! They are here!" A Dutch officer rushed into the conference room and interrupted Lieutenant General Philip's pre-war meeting.

Without the officer's reminder, everyone felt it, a rumbling dull cry came from the air, getting closer and closer, like a spell of death.

Oh!My goodness!

Lieutenant General Philip led a group of Dutch officers out of the deck and looked at the sky towards Palembang. They were all stunned.
