The two schooners sailed for several hours in the direction indicated by the Chinese merchants who had been robbed, but never found the Dutch East India Company ships.

Before the two cutting-edge sailing ships came to Manila, the company's military factory and shipyard specially installed an old Russian-style military navigation radar for the two sailing ships.

Because these two old-fashioned military navigation radars consume a lot of electricity, neither aircraft or sailboat will turn on the radar unless it is an emergency. But today, in order to search for the Dutch warship, both ships have their radars turned on and have been searching at sea.

Suddenly, one of the non-commissioned officers in the war room shouted: "Echoes have been found in the northeast direction, about twenty nautical miles away......"

Liu Xi, who was watching the charts, stood up suddenly, walked to the radar screen in a few steps, looked at it carefully for a while, and then shouted loudly: "Sound the alarm, find the Dutch......"

Li Ming and the Zheng brothers were chatting when they suddenly heard a piercing siren, followed by Liu Xi's voice in Li Ming's headphones: "The radar found the echo, although it is not yet certain, but according to the situation of the echo, ninety percent is the Dutch fleet." ”

"You are the commander, the next operation is under your full command, you don't need to report at any time, I have only one request, leave a Dutch battleship, let him go back to report the news, and sink the rest."

Liu Xi ended the call with Li Ming, turned his head and shouted, "Drive at full speed, don't let them run." ”

Li Ming led the Zheng Zhilong brothers to the deck, and at this time, the weapons and equipment on the deck had already been uncovered. Zheng Zhilong stared at the two 85mm anti-tank guns on the ship, although the barrels were very long. But it's also too fine.

Could it be that the Far East wants to win the Hongyi people with these two small cannons, when he was interpreting for Hongyi, he got on their ship, and the huge heavy cannons were all thousands of catties of big guys. As soon as the cannon was fired, the shells alone weighed one or twenty pounds. But the two small cannons on this ship in the Far East are too thin.

With the two sailboats moving at full speed, more than an hour later, the non-commissioned officer in the mast observation room had already spotted the target.

"At eleven o'clock, five sailboats were found."

Liu Xi shouted, "Rush over at full speed." Slow down and turn the rudder at a distance of 1500 meters from the enemy ship. Pay attention to the gun positions, give me a hard blow, leave only one, sink the rest, and do not accept the surrender of the other side. ”

The Zheng Zhilong brothers were lying on the side of the boat. Taking the binoculars handed by Li Ming, they picked them up and took a look, and found that several Dutch warships in the extreme distance were clearly visible.

They put down the telescope and looked at it carefully, this telescope is extremely exquisitely made, and it is binocular, so far away, it can be seen so clearly. If you have this treasure at sea, you will definitely find each other before the enemy, and if you see each other first in naval battles. That's a lot of winning.

The Dutch warships on the opposite side finally spotted the two warships of the Far East Company, and these five warships immediately formed a battle formation and rushed towards them.

Liu Xi shouted: "Lower the sail...... Decelerate...... Right full rudder ......"

Along with his series of battle orders, commanders and fighters at all levels kept repeating the passwords, and officers and men at various posts were trained thousands of times

's tactical moves are all clean.

The Zheng Zhilong brothers were dazzled. They found that the sails of the Far Eastern warships were lowered very quickly, and the tall masts were fully arranged with four-stage sail booms. But when the sails were lowered, it was all done in a very short time. He had seen the Hongyi people descend their sails. Most sailors have to work for half a day to get busy.

Suddenly, the hull of the ship tilted, and the two sailors next to him supported the Zheng Zhilong brothers from behind. The two ships tilted at a terrifying angle, and then under the shocked gaze of the Zheng Zhilong brothers, they completed the steering cleanly.

As soon as the entire hull of the ship was restored to normal, the officers and men on board began to get busy again. One after another, the passwords came and went. The two 85-mm guns had already turned around the barrel, and the loader walked up with one shell in his arms and loaded the shell.

The sight next to him stared at the improvised gun sight, looking for the best time to fire.

"Fire ......"

With a shout from the sightman, there was a loud "boom", and one gun had already fired first, followed by the other three guns, almost at the same time.

When the cannon sounded, the Zheng Zhilong brothers were frightened. None of them expected that these two seemingly inconspicuous small cannons would actually make such a big movement.

They immediately took out their binoculars and looked at the Dutch ships in the distance, in their eyes, such a distance, even the giant cannons on the Hongyi plywood ship could not hit. These two small cannons fired at this distance, that's.

But the next scene almost made them sit on the ground. I saw a large plywood ship on the opposite side burst into flames, and then several other ships also exploded as if they had been smashed hard.

Liu Xi saw that the first round of shelling had all hits, and shouted excitedly: "Good fight, continue to attack, sink them." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a Dutch battleship "boomed", and the hull exploded, and then began to slowly disintegrate, and the ship slowly split into two halves. As luck would have it, the cannon detonated the opponent's powder magazine, causing the ship's hull to detonate.

The gunners of the No. 1 gun position of the "Sheng Tang" suddenly cheered, and they didn't expect that not to mention the first hit, they would solve the opponent with one shot, which was really against the sky.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Four more cannon shots rang out in succession, four 85-mm shells whistled out of the muzzle, and the second round of shelling hit all of them again, and one of the Dutch battleships, which received two shells at the same time, had already blown the hull to pieces, and could fall apart at any moment.

Only four rounds of artillery fire were fired, and only one Dutch battleship remained on the surface of the sea, with its bow upturned high. The Dutch warship, which had not been attacked, had long since fled without a trace.

Brother Zheng Zhilong was completely stunned at this time, this is really fake! Hongyi's four large plywood boats, in the blink of an eye, the canopy was wiped out, this

The course of the battle was short, and only a few rounds of shelling ended the battle. Four Dutch warships were destroyed, the remaining one fled in panic, and many Dutch sailors who had escaped by jumping into the water were struggling on the sea.

The two sailing ships slowly sailed over and rescued the Dutch sailors in the sea one after another. They interrogated several people and learned that the Dutch warships had a makeshift base on a nearby island, where several of the looted Chinese merchant ships were stored.

The next day, two sailing ships returned to Manila Bay with several merchant ships of Chinese merchants. Li Ming got off the battleship and went directly to the Dutch Merchant House, where he met Marco and Simmons, and lodged a solemn protest against the provocation of the Dutch East India Company.

"I don't care what your Dutch East India Company explains, now that the contract between us is null and void, we need the Dutch East India Company to explain the matter."

Simmons also knew that things had exceeded his expectations, and they were not ready to tear their faces with the Far East now, but the other party had taken the stolen goods, which made them very passive.

"Sir, these people should be personal and our company should not be aware of this, please understand this. I will write to His Excellency the Governor to investigate the matter and will give you an account. ”

Li Ming sneered: "Okay...... I understand, then let's talk later, I'll wait for your news. ”

He turned around and left the Dutch Merchant House, and Liu Xi next to him hurriedly took two steps to follow, and said angrily: "Commander, are we just going to forget it?" ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "Forget it, they want to be beautiful, you two sailing ships will prepare immediately, and then go to the Batavian waters of Java, give me the scourge of death, as long as you see the ships entering and leaving Batavia, you will rob me, and those who dare to resist will be sunk." ”

Liu Xi shouted excitedly: "Yes! Guaranteed completion of the task ......"

Li Ming nodded, and was about to turn around to leave, when he turned back to Liu Xi and smiled: "Remember!" This is your personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with our company. ”

After he finished speaking, he left, and the group of people behind him were stunned for a moment, but they reacted immediately, and they all laughed.

Li Ming returned to the management committee, walked directly to the radio, picked up the microphone and connected to Song Tao, and then shouted: "Brother, let's act, take the city of Geranza for me, take down all the people for me, and let five sailing ships pull people back to Manila for me." By the way, this is your personal behavior, and our Far East Company doesn't know about it, haha......"

The two sailing ships slowly sailed out of Manila Bay after being restocked, followed by the 3rd Detachment of the Luzon Guerrilla Fleet. In the direction of Taiwan, Song Tao has also led the troops to set off, aiming directly at the Dutch Geranza Castle in Tainan.

Ten days later, Simmons and Marco anxiously rushed to the city hall to ask to see Li Ming, but were told that Li Ming was not there and went to various parts of Luzon to inspect the troops. They couldn't see Li Ming, and they asked to see Manila Mayor Xiao Hanguang.

Xiao Hanguang received them very warmly, and Simmons was very angry and accused the Far East Company of the banditry acts, not only sent warships to block the Strait of Malacca, sank more than a dozen warships of the Dutch East India Company, but also used barbaric means to capture their castle of Geranza in Taiwan.

"Mr. Mayor, on behalf of the Dutch East India Company, I make solemn representations about the actions of the Far East Company. Expressing strong indignation at the barbaric acts of the Far Eastern Company for wanton destruction of the region and for a peaceful dìng, I hope that the Far Eastern Company will cease its military operations against the Dutch East India Company so that the situation will not deteriorate further. ”

Xiao Hanguang listened to Simmons's words, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Dear Mr. Special Envoy, I don't understand what you are talking about, what does this have to do with our Far East Company." We have not taken any military action against your company. We have been waiting for your company's reply on the last incident, but you have not given an account for your company's flagrant violation of Luzon waters for so long, and now you are making unwarranted accusations against us, and I solemnly protest against your company.
