The journey starts from the Titanic

The sky is full of planes, densely packed, one, two, three... thirty... fifty... one hundred!

They are like a swarm of locusts, covering a piece of sky, leaving a large shadow on the sea, flying over and making the souls of Dutch officers and soldiers tremble-they have never seen so many planes!

This is the first time in human history that hundreds of aircraft have been used against a fleet.

After determining the direction of the Dutch attack, the South China Army also transferred more than 100 aircraft from Jakarta to Palembang, preparing to use 200 aircraft to complete the Dutch expeditionary fleet.

This is the last battle!

Can't get ashore, how about the 50,000 elite European soldiers in the Netherlands no matter how powerful it is?

Time seemed to stop instantly at the moment the South China plane appeared. After recovering, Lieutenant General Philip shouted: "Quick! Machine gun! Quickly organize air defense!"

After temporary processing, 10 Maxine machine guns were indeed added to the Rotterdam, which were hard-buckled from the Army, but the improvised pieces on the ship seemed not very reliable.

The Amsterdam was also equipped with the same number of machine guns, but it was sunk by a submarine.Who told their destroyers to take care of the warships chasing Nanhua before they had time to anti-submarine.

The South China fighter jet flying in the forefront recognized the Rotterdam at a glance. The sharp-eyed pilot saw a group of Dutch officers gathered on the deck, and immediately dived over, slammed the trigger, and hot bullets poured down from the air.

"Da da da!"

The bullet hit the Rotterdam, killing the Dutch officers and soldiers who could not dodge on the deck.

"Hurry up!" The Dutch officer immediately dragged Lieutenant General Philip to hide in the cabin, and they lost several officers just now.

South China’s aircraft recognized the Rotterdam as the flagship of the Dutch fleet, and they attacked around it. At least 20 aircraft hovered around the Rotterdam!

The Dutch soldiers exposed on the deck became the main targets of the South China aircraft. Numerous bullets poured down from the air like rain and landed on the Rotterdam.

Watchmen, gunners, and temporary air defense forces have become the focus of South China’s aircraft.

South China fighter jets run the fastest, but they lack heavy firepower and can only kill and destroy Dutch naval personnel and command and dispatch.

"Damn it, why don't our machine guns fire?" Lieutenant General Philip looked at the Nanhua plane raging in the sky through the window, feeling nervous.

Although no ship has been sunk yet, the feeling of being crushed is too bad.In case the enemy's submarines join in at this time, then-Rotterdam is not without counterattack, the temporary anti-aircraft machine gun began to work, angry Dutch sailors fired at the South China aircraft in the sky, unlucky The South China plane exploded in the air and the fragments burst onto the sea.

"it is good!"

Lieutenant Philip secretly applauded.

Under his order, the Dutch destroyers formed a semicircular air defense formation on the sea, and the bullets fired formed an air defense network in the air.

Even the Dutch army on the transport ships organized a platoon team to target the sky and fire their guns.

They were lucky. Three of the Nanhua planes that were caught off guard were shot down at sea.One of the pilots parachuted and landed not far from a Dutch warship, but was killed by Dutch soldiers with platoon guns.

However, the South China Air Force, which has gradually adapted to the Dutch machine guns, burst out with greater bloodliness. After all, they are fast, dexterous, and superior. Once they get serious, the machine gunners on the Dutch warship will be unlucky.

After being attacked by South China aircraft, the anti-aircraft firepower composed of 10 Maxine machine guns temporarily installed on the Rotterdam was quickly reimbursed: collapsed sandbags, scattered parts, broken corpses, and a pool of blood. Heralds the danger of the Dutch fleet.

After losing the anti-aircraft firepower, the Dutch fleet could only be killed by South China aircraft, and the sailors who dared to be exposed were retaliated by intensive bullets.

All this happened in just a few minutes, and Lieutenant General Philip was bleeding from the sight of those Dutch soldiers who fell to the ground.This also packed up the shelling of Palembang, and we suffered a lot of casualties.

To his comfort, the Dutch fleet was unscathed and was retreating to the high seas at the fastest speed.At this time, suddenly a group of larger planes dived down. It was a South China bomber.

I don't know if they are carrying too much weight. They feel a little sluggish, and their movements are not as smart as fighters.

It is these slow-looking guys that caused heavy casualties to the Dutch, especially those transport ships, which are not heavily armored like battleships. It doesn’t matter if they are exposed to a few bombs. After being bombed, the thin-skinned, clumsy transport ships. It started to catch fire, exploded, and then sank into the sea.

Various substances were scattered on the sea, and the soldiers who fell into the water shouted for help. They panicked and tried to grasp every object around them.

"Boom!" A transport ship full of ammunition suddenly exploded, the flames shot straight into the sky, and thick smoke billowed on the sea.

"Oh! No!" Lieutenant General Philip said in anguish. He tightly squeezed his fist, nailed his nails into the flesh, bloodshot oozing out without any notice, and only a ball of fire on the distant ocean in his eyes.

What made him even more unbelievable was that at this time another pair of planes flew in the sky, with a long cylinder hanging under their stomachs, diving down towards the Rotterdam.

It's near, it's near, Lieutenant General Philip finally sees clearly that there are torpedoes hanging under the plane!

And they are specially made torpedoes, which are more slender and smaller than ordinary torpedoes, but when you see these torpedoes falling from a plane, falling into the sea, and then surfaced, like a sword pierced the surface of the water, straight into the Rotterdam.

This is not a sharp sword, but many!

After dropping the torpedo, the South China pilot yanked the nose and dexterously plundered the Rotterdam. Looking back, after a strong explosion, the Rotterdam was already scarred and dying.

What is amazing is that after being hit by 5 aviation torpedoes from South China, it still floats firmly on the sea.The South China pilot was a little discouraged, thinking that if he could carry a larger torpedo, it would be fine.

Limited by the power of the aircraft, the torpedo aircraft imported by South China from Cummins can only carry this torpedo one size smaller.

But even so, it is impossible for the Dutch fleet to land in Palembang, and they are still doomed.

"This...how is it possible? It's terrible?" Lieutenant General Philip whispered palely. He finally remembered how the Dutch East India fleet had been destroyed before.

His nightmare did not end, and two more torpedo planes swooped down and fired torpedoes at Rotterdam, which was paralyzed on the sea like a dead fish.

The Rotterdam struggled, and finally sank in the deep blue Java Sea!

Chapter 113

After losing the two main cruisers, the destroyers of the Dutch expeditionary fleet either surrendered or sank into the sea under the attack of the South China aircraft.

The Dutch soldiers on the transport ship were fully loaded. They stood on the deck and watched the overwhelming South China planes sending their warships to the bottom of the sea one by one. Expressions of curse, curse, and fear appeared on their faces one by one.

Of course, there were also useless guns to shoot at Nanhua planes to conceal their fears.

The tragedy will soon be on these Dutch soldiers. The slow-moving transport ships cannot escape the attack of South China aircraft, especially those bombers. When a bomb comes down, the thin-skinned transport ship blows out a hole, and the Dutch soldiers squeezed on the ship. Large casualties.

If they encounter torpedo planes, their fate will be even worse. Those South China pilots who can't find effective targets don't want to bring the torpedoes back to the base again, so those vulgar transport ships have to vent their breath.

They are so cruel!

However, the Dutch fleet brought 50,000 landing troops. Once these tens of thousands of people successfully landed, the South China Army will have less than 10,000 troops stationed in Palembang. The second-line troops will really not be able to hold it. By then, the tragedy of the South China Army will be good. Where to go.

Didn't Lieutenant General Philip and a group of Dutch soldiers want to kill the Chinese in Palembang?So they died first.

The sea is full of undulating human heads, like countless watermelons scattered on the sea. If the benevolent South China plane hadn't shot them, these Dutch people who went from Europe to Southeast Asia would have died even worse.

Of the 50,000 Dutch army, 40,000 fell into the sea. They are struggling like frightened ducks in the cool Java Sea. Unfortunately, Nanhua planes only kill or bury them. They can't fly to the sea to rescue the fallen Dutch soldiers, right?

The Java naval battle attracted many spectators. British warships came with a cruiser and several destroyers. They tracked (monitored) the Dutch fleet into the Java Sea all the way.

They originally guarded the Dutch to prevent the Dutch expeditionary fleet from threatening the British colonies, but now the British don’t have to worry, because the Dutch have all gone to see God.

The duration of the South China Air Force and the Dutch fleet was not long, only less than half an hour. When the British fleet felt an accident in the sea, the battle was almost over.

Looking at the "watermelons" scattered on the sea, the British fleet wanted to rush over and intervene in the battlefield, but the rumbling South China plane flew in front of them, and while hovering above them, the British fleet never dared to cross the thunder pond again. Stopped abruptly on the periphery, watching the South China Army pack up the Dutch.
