Chapter 137: Surprise Attack on the Dutch Fort

The night of the 25th of the sixth month of the leap month, which is close to the end of the month, and the moon has only one line left, is the night when the wind is high and the moon is dark and killing, and it is the best time to sneak up on the Dutch forts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Dutch, who had suffered many losses, strengthened their guards, built a large number of guard towers, and lit bonfires everywhere in the forts, which can be said to be heavily guarded. But such a vigilance is really nothing to Emperor Hu Dedi and them. Don't talk about the martial arts of the special combat team, let's talk about individual weapons, but also crush the Dutch.

More than 500 Marine Corps special forces, including 50 crossbowmen, carry 50 crossbow machines. Ten officers, all armed with revolvers. The rest of the soldiers, each with two double-barreled short guns. In addition to ranged weapons, the melee weapons used by the special operations team are all cold weapons that they are handy.

All daylight on the 25th, the Marines slept in the small village. This small village was captured by Emperor Hu Dedi a few days ago, and all the locals were slaughtered, whether it was adults, old people, women or children, Emperor Hu Dedi did not show mercy.

In short, they are of different races, and they are the Nanyang natives that Wang Xinyu hates the most.

Emperor Hu Dedi didn't know why Wang Xinyu hated these Nanyang natives so much, but he didn't ask, in short, as long as he was a person that Dashuai hated, there was no psychological pressure to kill.

The indigenous people in the small village were killed, and all the bodies were buried on the spot.

After dark, the special operators were woken up and had dinner in the village.

"We were about 3 a.m.! That is, Yinshi. The departure time is half past one in the morning, which is the ugly hour. Prepare now! "Emperor Hu gave the order.

The Marines bathed in the river and changed into dark green uniforms. Someone removed boxes of large wooden boxes from the canoe. Opening the box, the special operators took out their weapons.

"Check the short guns, get the ammo loaded." Emperor Hu De sent an order down.

The special operators picked up the double-barreled short gun, pulled the trigger a few times, and saw the flint on the hammer spew sparks. So began to reload bullets and gunpowder. The short gun also uses a bullet with a fixed paper cartridge case, bites through the paper shell at the back, pours gunpowder into it, and then stuffs the bullet into it along with the paper cartridge case. Because of the friction of the paper cartridge case, the bullet does not pour out of the muzzle. After loading the bullets, the cover of the medicine pool at the back of the gun was opened and the primer was loaded.

The officers were inspecting their six-barreled Thunderbolt guns, checking whether each of them was properly loaded with projectiles and gunpowder, and also checking whether the primer holes behind the guns were unobstructed and whether the primers were properly loaded inside.

The six-tube Thunderbolt is more complicated, pull the trigger, the wheel rotates, the lid of the primer pool behind opens, the hammer hits into the primer pool, collides with the metal piece to cause sparks, and then ignites the primer behind the primer. It can be said that this is an extremely delicate craft, and the structure is more complex than the new type of runner short gun that uses a thunder gong primer.

At present, Wang Xinyu's army has a new type of runner short gun, which does not need to be used, and can be directly loaded into the paper bullet shell, and there is a copper sheet behind the paper bullet shell, which is said to be a primer inside, and the primer is hit with a firing pin. However, because of the high price of Lei Gong, that kind of weapon was not equipped in large quantities, and only a few of the best agents were equipped with it.

Before the invention of the steam engine, before industrialization, it would not have been possible to have a large number of firing pin guns.

However, as the captain of the Marine Corps, Hu Dedi himself is equipped with two new wheel-type short guns, after all, the reliability of this weapon is much higher than that of the wheel-type Thunderbolt short guns in the hands of ordinary officers. The general officer's Thunderbolt has a relatively high rate of mute fire, and the new type of runner will hardly be dumbfired, and the loading speed is also fast, and there is no need for very complicated procedures for loading the gun after the shot, as long as the paper shell bullet is stuffed in.

Emperor Hu took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, and the hands were pointing at the 1:15 position. He put away his pocket watch and turned his head to give the order: "Get ready, you're about to go!" ”

Fifteen minutes later, the special operations team left the village and disappeared into the night.

Emperor Hu Dedi took more than 100 of his special combat personnel to a Dutch battery, lurked under the battery, and took out a telescope to observe the Dutch battery from a distance.

Through the monoculars, you can see that the Dutch batteries are brightly lit, just like daytime, and Dutch soldiers with muskets on their backs patrol back and forth on the batteries. In the jungle below the fort ahead, there was an ambush for the Dutch outposts.

After several days of reconnaissance work, the location of the Dutch ambush outpost has been found by the special combat team, and the outpost must be eliminated first before launching an attack.

Hu Dedi took out his pocket watch and looked at it, the time was almost up.

"I'll deal with the one on the left, Xiao Zhang will deal with the one on the right, and a few of you will deal with the three over there." Khadedi gestured and gave orders in sign language.

Under the cover of night, the special operators flew like agile cheetahs to the Dutch outpost hiding in the woods.

Hood approached a Dutch sentry and jumped out from behind, covering the guy's mouth and breaking his neck. Several other sentries were killed by the Special Operators with their bare hands, either daggers or crossbow arrows.

The group quietly reached the bottom of the fort, which was built on a high place, and the gate was closed at night.

Emperor Hu Dedi performed his light skills, using both hands and feet, and leaped up the city wall. In fact, the so-called light power is the modern parkour principle, using the support point to leap up. At that time, some masters practiced this line of work, coupled with the cooperation of dantian luck, body balance and other aspects, they could climb high places silently, which is the so-called cornices and walls.

The other special combat team members did not have the same superb level as Hu Dedi, so they could only wait below.

Hood climbed onto the fort, heard movement, and immediately hid in the shadows under a female battlement, avoiding the Dutch sentinels. When the Dutch sentry passed by him, Hood reached out and grabbed the Dutch soldier with a large hand, and at the same time covered his mouth, pulling him into the darkness and breaking his neck.

After eliminating three Dutch sentries in a row, Hood put the rope down and let the special operators below pull the rope and climb up.

"I'll deal with the watchtower, and you two will deal with this; You two, deal with the other side; You two, go deal with this ......" Hu Dedi gestured and gave a sign language command.

The special operators immediately dispersed and launched an attack on the watchtower inside the battery.

Approaching a watchtower, Hood suddenly climbed up the watchtower silently like a dexterous kitten, grabbed the heads of the two Dutchmen, and touched each other, the huge impact was like a swift hammer hitting the human head, and the brains of the two Dutchmen were knocked into a pulp at once.

Another special operator approached a watchtower, climbed up, and stabbed twice with a dagger in his hand, slashing the throats of two Dutchmen, severing their trachea and carotid artery, killing them instantly.

Two special operators were dealing with a watchtower, and both of them fired crossbow arrows at the same time, which pierced the throat of the Dutchman, and the body fell from the watchtower.

In a short time, all the Dutch sentries and watchtowers on the fort were wiped out.

The same thing happened on the other three batteries: the special operators quietly eliminated the Dutch outposts, climbed onto the batteries, and as a result, the patrol sentries pulled out the Dutch soldiers on the guard towers.

Off the coast of Batavia, in the dark sea, a fleet arrives off the coast of Batavia. The fleet slowed down and sailed slowly on the night-shrouded sea. This fleet was the combined fleet of the Nanyang Navy and the Portuguese and Spaniards, who were waiting for the signal from the Batavian battery. As soon as it succeeds, the fleet rushes in.

On the Dutch battery, Hood led the special combat team members to kill the Dutch in their sleep.

Emperor Hu walked into the barracks, and the dagger in his hand stabbed out again and again, spreading death in the turret. Touching some barracks with latches inserted from inside, Hu Dedi gently opened the door with a dagger. At that time, the cracks in the doors were very large, and the dagger pierced in, and it opened with a flick. In a flash of form, Emperor Hood silently entered the barracks, waved his dagger at the Dutchman who were sleeping in bed, and sent them to God.

The rest of the special operators were doing the same thing, sending the sleeping Dutch to God.

However, there were small accidents: when a special operator entered a barracks, a Dutchman inside had just woken up and saw a black shadow suddenly intruding and let out a scream. But the screaming stopped immediately, as the flying dagger pierced his throat, cutting his vocal cords and preventing him from screaming.

The rest of the Dutch in the barracks also woke up, and several other special combat personnel who had been prepared outside immediately rushed into the barracks and killed all six Dutchmen in the barracks in a blink of an eye with crossbow arrows and throwing knives.

This little episode did not wake up all the Dutchmen in the fort, and only a few Dutchmen in the nearby barracks woke up, and they were killed by crossbow arrows as soon as they walked out of the door.

The movement on the fort here was very smooth, but in the darkness, a gunshot suddenly rang out from one of the forts opposite, and in the quiet night, the gunfire was very loud and spread very far.

Hu Dedi said secretly: "It must be that the brother over there was accidentally discovered by the red-haired ghost when he did it!" ”

The gunfire in the middle of the night was very harsh, and the Dutch, who were not dead on the fort, woke up one after another, got up from the bed, and touched the weapons around them. Some of the Dutchmen didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they hurried out of the barracks.

Now that the gunshots have sounded, there is no way to hide anymore. Seeing the Dutch soldiers rushing out of the barracks, the double-barreled short guns in the hands of the special combat team members roared, the flames flickered, and the Dutch soldiers more than 10 paces away were shot one after another and fell. Each special operator has two double-barreled short guns in his hand, which can be fired four times.

In the confusion, the Dutch's muskets had little chance to play, they hurriedly got up and grabbed their weapons and went out, and as soon as they came out, they were met with head-on fire, and most of the Dutch were killed without even knowing where the enemy was.

After firing the bullets, the special combat team members thrust their double-barreled short guns into their waists, pulled out short knives, axes, and other cold weapons, and slashed at the Dutch who rushed out of the barracks.

There were more than 300 Dutch soldiers on the fort where Hu Dedi and his people were located, and most of them had been killed by the special combat team before, and the remaining more than 100 Dutch people faced the battle in the chaos. If they face each other, the Dutch can fight in formation, and they can fight against special combat teams. But in the dark, the Dutch, who were attacked by the sneak attack, basically went out and died.

On the four forts, there was already a chaotic fight, and there was a lot of gunfire everywhere.

Emperor Hu took out the fireworks and launched them at the night sky.

On the sea, the fleet saw fireworks from the port of Batavia and knew that there was already a fight on the battery.

Zhang Yukun took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, it was only 4:25 in the morning, more than half an hour earlier than the original time, and now the sky is not yet dawn, and it may be dangerous for the fleet to enter the port, but it is not so much, and it must enter the port immediately.

"Arrival!" Zhang Yukun gave the order.

On the flagship Drake, a huge firework rises and lights up the night sky. The massive Drake turned, all the sails open, and the cruiser rushed towards the bay of Batavia.

In Batavia, the sleeping governor John Masui was woken up.

"What's going on out there? Was someone sneaking up? Hearing the sound of heavy gunfire in the distance, John Masuiju seemed to sense danger.

"Report to the Governor, the gunfire is coming from the battery! Someone must have sneaked up on our battery! The man who came reported to the Governor.

John Marsuiji exclaimed, "If the fort falls into the hands of the enemy, the enemy's fleet will be able to drive straight in!" Send someone to retake the fort! Pull anchor for all fleets and get ready for battle! ”

The gunfire on the battery gradually thinned out, and the Dutch guarding the battery were completely annihilated. At this time, fire dragons appeared on the avenue outside, and it was the Dutch soldiers with torches who were rushing in the direction of the fort.

"Push the cannons over, and all the muskets are gathered and ready to defend!" Emperor Hu Dedi ordered.

The artillery on the Dutch batteries was not all heavy artillery either, there were several small guns used to defend against land attacks. The special operators pushed out the cannon, loaded the shells, and aimed them at the fire dragon that appeared in the darkness. All the Dutchman's muskets on the battery were collected, and more than three hundred loaded muskets were set aside.

"Fire!" Emperor Hu pointed to the approaching fire dragon.

The four-pounder cannon erupted in flames, and the shells smashed into the Dutch.

Only a scream was heard, and the cannonballs that smashed into the crowd bounced and rolled, smashing up a row of stumps and smashing dozens of Dutch soldiers.

In the harbor of Batavia, the armed Dutch merchant ships and cruisers were already in disarray, and most of the Dutch sailors were not on board. Usually the boats are parked in the harbor, and in the evenings they have fun at the bar on the shore, and they usually live on the shore. Hearing the gunfire of the battery, the Dutch knew that someone had attacked the battery, and rushed out of the barracks and rushed to the dock.

As soon as the lights of the Dutch ship were turned on, the shells fired from the battery smashed into the harbor area, and a column of water rose into the sky. (To be continued.) )
