At seven o'clock in the evening of July 18, 1661, the fleet set out from the island and arrived at the mouth of Batavia Bay after about two hours' voyage.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the big ships of the Nanyang Navy anchored at the mouth of the bay. Drop fifteen small boats from the big boats. The naval special combat team led by Hu Dedi carried the underwater Dragon King cannon, boarded the boat with the sailors who were about to seize the ship, and rowed towards the harbor under the cover of night.

The underwater dragon king cannon carried by the navy special combat team this time was a kind of mine invented by Mao Yuanyi, a person during the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty. There was this weapon in the Zheng army, one weighing about four to six pounds, which was fixed on a wooden board using incense or fire rope, and could float on the water and go down the river to blow up and sink enemy ships. Wang Xinyu asked the special combat team to bring this kind of weapon, which was to prepare for people to nail the underwater Dragon King cannon to the Dutch ship, light incense, and then leave, and when the time is up, they can blow up and sink the enemy ship.

Fifteen small boats loaded with naval special forces and sailors quietly rowed into Batavia Bay, and the silhouettes of the black Dutch ships in the harbor were faintly visible by the faint moonlight.

It was half past nine o'clock in the night, and the Dutch warships, merchant ships, sampans, fishing boats, and speedboats were all moored in order on the docks, and most of the Dutch sailors were either sleeping in the big camp on the shore or playing all night in the bars of Batavia, and there were not many Dutch left on board.

It was extremely difficult for the small boats of this era to sail at night, but after more than half a year of training to seize ships at night, and they had intensified their training when they were in Kinmen, and they had actual combat experience on Dongfan Island, after coming to the outside of Batavia Bay, they went through another half a month of training on the Pari Islands. Now let Hu Dedi and them row the boat into the harbor, it can be said that they are familiar with the road, and there is no obstacle at all.

There are a number of underwater piles in the bay of Batavia, but these piles are only effective for large ships. It had no effect on the shallow draft of the flat-bottomed boat that the special combat team was riding on. And it was the time when the tide was at its highest, and the flat-bottomed boat could easily paddle over the underwater pile.

Eighteen minutes before the tide began to recess, and the special operators had to approach the enemy ships before the tide receded. Otherwise, after the tide is low, it will be difficult to swim close to the enemy ships.

Hood's boat rowed until it was a hundred meters away from the Dutchman's large ship before he jumped into the sea, taking five naval specialists with him. Struggling to swim in the sea to a hundred meters away in the water? The Welling was a large armed merchant ship of the East Indies.

Looking at the dark silhouette of the East India ship in the dark, Emperor Hu Dedi sighed in his heart: Big! This ship is so big! I always thought that the Hector was already very big, but compared to this ship, the Hector is simply small!

Prins? The Welling, with a displacement of 1,400 tons, was a well-deserved giant in the East back then! The behemoth had a tonnage close to that of a first-class battleship, but had only a two-tier gun deck like a third-class ship, instead of the three-tier gun deck of a first-class ship, and was armed with twenty-eight twenty-four-pounder cannons. There were also twenty-two smaller guns. The firepower of such a ship is equivalent to that of a third-class ship, and the protection capability is certainly much worse than that of a third-class ship. However, such a ship is almost invincible in the East! If it is refitted, it is completely possible to increase the firepower to the standard of a second-class battleship.

The East India ship was originally a merchant ship and a warship, with a fast speed, and if it encountered British pirates, this kind of ship could not be beaten by two or three British sixth-class ships without fighting back. Even a full-time fourth-tier cruiser like the Drake can't beat Prins? The East India ship Welling.

Although the Drake is an oak structure. Prins? The Welling is a fir structure, but the Prins? The Willing's durability is not bad. And the twenty-four-pounder cannon could also penetrate the oak-structured Drake.

Hood Emperor swam to Prins? The Welling came up and put his skills to work, climbing the Dutch ship along the anchor chain.

Sure enough, as the intelligence officers had provided, the Dutch were heavily guarded, and there was only one Dutch sentry on deck who was sleeping on the mast. After breaking the Dutchman's neck, Hood walked around the deck. Upon closer inspection, no other Dutch soldiers were found.

"This red-haired ghost, the guard is really loose enough." Emperor Hu said silently in his heart.

The Dutch's lax guard allowed Hood to easily control the deck. In fact, early in the morning, he issued an alarm to the Batavian side that "Zheng Chenggong may attack Dongfan Island", but Kroenke, Kobuya? Neither Kauwu nor others believed that Zheng Chenggong would declare war on the Netherlands. Communications in those years lagged behind. The Dutch fleet on Dongfan Island was completely annihilated, all of them were captured or sunk by Wang Xinyu, and the news of the attack could not be sent to Batavia at all.

After dealing with the Dutch sentry and confirming that it was safe, Hood dropped the rope and pulled the five comrades below up.

"Be careful not to make a sound!" Hu Dedi told his teammates in sign language.

The six of them acted separately, and Emperor Hood went to Prins by himself? Captain's cabin at the stern of the Welling.

Walking into the luxuriously decorated captain's room, I saw that it was empty, and the Dutch captain did not live on the ship, so he didn't know whether to have fun on the shore or sleep in the luxurious bungalow.

The other five members of the team entered the upper gun deck, and saw fourteen Dutchmen sleeping at the dining table.

One of the special operators made a gesture and said in sign language: "I deal with these three, you deal with those ones, stun them, and keep their mouths alive." ”

Five special combat team members moved their hands and stuned the sleeping Dutch one by one with their knives. Then the Dutchman was gagged and tied with a rope.

After a while, the stunned Dutchman woke up and found five people in black with oriental faces standing in front of him, their eyes wide in horror, but their mouths were gagged and they could only make a "whine" sound.

Hood also came to the upper gun deck, and when he saw the Dutch being bound, he made a sign sign and asked the brothers to escort the Dutch into a corner, and then led them into the lower gun deck. When I got to the heavy artillery deck on the lower level, I found that it was empty. When you enter the sailor's cabin below, it is also empty, and not a single sailor sleeps in it. When the special operators went to the cargo hold and storage room below, they did not find any other Dutchmen on board.

A Prins with a displacement of up to 1,400 tons? It is also unbelievable that there are only fifteen Dutchmen on duty on the giant ship Welling. However, the Dutch were so lax that it reduced the trouble for the special forces to seize the ship.

After another careful inspection of the ship, and no other Dutch were found, the lantern wrapped in red cloth by Hood gave a signal. After seeing the signal, the sailors rowed their boats to the Prins? The Welling. The special operators above lowered the soft ladder and took the sailors to the big ship and waited for the ship to leave at dawn.

On the other three East India ships, the progress of the special combat team that came to attack was also very smooth.

There were no more than 30 Dutch people left behind on each large ship, and the special operators moved very easily, and it took less than half an hour for the three 1,100-ton East India ships to be controlled.

The special operators who controlled the East India ship signaled the small boat in which the sailors were travelling to come up. The soft ladder was lowered on the big ship and the sailors were connected to the big ship.

The other 11 groups of special operations personnel went to seize the Dutch's Yahat-type warships, and the ships Dorufin, Jilić, Donbruf, Bode, Ankwen, and Maiden were all guarded by only more than 10 to 20 Dutchmen.

The small flat-bottomed boats carrying the sailors docked one after the other on the big boats. After putting the sailors on the big boat, the sailors on the small boat rowed out of Batavia Bay.

However, during the seizure of the two ships, the Dutch and the Naarden, the special operations team encountered a little trouble: there were many Dutch people on these two ships, and the captain of the Dutch was also in the captain's room, and more than 30 Dutchmen slept in the upper gun deck, and more than 60 Dutchmen slept in the lower gun deck. And there were only six special operators who attacked the ship! It was indeed a very troublesome matter to use six men to deal with more than 90 Dutchmen, and to eliminate or control them silently.

At that time, there was no radio, so it was impossible to call in reinforcements from other groups. When the first special operator climbed aboard the Dutchdea, he was a little surprised: there were six Dutchmen on the deck!

Fortunately, the Dutch don't seem to be on high alert. The first captain of the special operations team to board the ship fired a crossbow bolt that pierced through one of the nearest Dutch sentries. The special operations captain shook his body, silently jumped on the wooden box, walked up to the two Dutch sentries who were chatting like an agile cat, suddenly jumped down, grabbed the heads of the two Dutch sentries with both hands and touched each other, and the two Dutchmen turned into corpses.

There were also three Dutch sentries on deck. However, the three of them were scattered, and after a while, they were all killed by the leader of the special operations team.

After taking out the sentry, the squad leader lowered the rope and pulled five of his companions onto the boat.

The six special operators acted separately, and when the captain broke into the captain's room, the Dutch captain inside was still asleep.

"You?" The Dutch captain looked up suddenly, and found the uninvited guest who had broken into his cabin, and before he could utter a word, he was hit in the neck with a heavy hand knife, and he felt that his eyes were dark, and he immediately lost consciousness.

The remaining five special operators entered the upper artillery deck and found that there were more than 30 Dutch soldiers sleeping inside!

Five people against more than thirty people is not too big a problem. But it's impossible to capture them all. Five special operators went on a killing spree, killing all 30 Dutch people on the upper gun deck.

After the team leader tied up the Dutch captain, he walked out of the captain's room and led the special operators into the lower gun deck, only to find that there were more Dutch people in the lower deck, more than sixty people! (To be continued.) )
