"Bang!"

There was a dull thud, the deck shook slightly, and the two flagships were close together. At the moment when the two ships collided, the Popeye on both sides threw a large number of flying cymbals to hook the other deck to prevent the two ships from separating again. The sailors on both sides put away all the sails as fast as possible to avoid being used by the enemy. At the same time, all the cables were also pulled up.

Hand-to-hand combat begins.

The Dutch reacted the quickest and were the first to act.

Dozens of burly Dutch sailors, like tigers, jumped over.

All of these Dutch sailors had sharp axes in their hands. The surface of these axes emitted not the blue light of ordinary weapons, but the cold light of black pitch. Just look at it and I shudder. In fact, in hand-to-hand combat, the axe is definitely a big killer. If you are accidentally slashed, there is basically no chance of survival.

On the white-clothed army and navy, the strikers are also dozens of burly men. However, in their hands, they were not armed with axes, but with submachine guns. These big men are basically transferred from the army and have some combat experience. Even in the face of a scary big axe, you don't feel the slightest bit afraid. All they had to do was to shoot the bullets from the submachine guns at the enemy.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

Dozens of submachine guns roared happily.

Dense bullets, like raindrops, poured over.

The Dutch sailors who rushed over were suddenly beaten to a thousand points and bled profusely, and died no longer to die. Some Dutch sailors were hit by dozens of bullets, and their bodies were almost like sieves. No matter how burly their stature is, no matter how tenacious their vitality is, in front of the submachine gun, they can only fall obediently.

In such a short distance, being strafed by submachine guns, even Da Luo Jinxian had no hope of surviving. The Dutch apparently did not expect such an outcome. They had high hopes that these dozens of axes would open a bloody path! Unexpectedly, the blood road was killed, but unfortunately it was the blood of the Dutch themselves. Dozens of axes, dozens of lives, are gone in an instant.

"How so?"

Derek's expression froze suddenly.

He didn't expect that during hand-to-hand combat, the white-clothed army would still have such a big killing weapon. Seeing that the muzzle of the opponent's gun continued to spray flames, his subordinates, like autumn wheat, all fell down at once. Until now, Derek still can't believe it, it's true!

"Up!"

Zhou Jian snorted.

The submachine gunner took the opportunity to climb over the railing and board the enemy ship.

In the face of the counterattack of the Dutch sailors, the reaction of the white army was naturally another strafing.

Dozens of submachine guns fired in turn, and the Dutch sailors on the deck were suddenly killed and wounded. The clatter of gunshots was like the music of death, and it was terrifying. Originally, there were a lot of Dutch sailors on the deck, at least hundreds, but after a submachine gun fire, most of them turned into straight corpses and threw themselves on the deck. A large amount of blood flowed down the deck and finally flowed into the sea like a waterfall.

The other Dutch sailors, feeling bad, had to retract into their cabins. So, the sailors of the White Army divided into small groups and entered the cabin to play hide and seek with the enemy. Carrying shell guns, they covered each other and cleared out the enemy from cabin to cabin. But hearing the sporadic gunshots coming from inside the cabin, no one knew what was going on inside. After about half an hour, the gunfire stopped completely, and everything fell silent.

Derek was escorted out of the cabin by several white-clad soldiers. Both of his legs had been broken by bullets, but there was no damage to the rest of his body. With Derek's capture, hand-to-hand combat soon ended. On Derek's flagship, there were more than 700 sailors in total, more than 200 were killed, and the rest were captured.

On the navy side of the white-coat army, only three people were accidentally wounded, and there were no sacrifices. It can be described as a complete victory and brilliant results. It's a pity that Xu Canxu's mood is really not happy. Because, in the hand-to-hand combat just now, he hesitated a little, and the result was left behind. Two barge guns, eighty rounds of ammunition, did not move at all. He simply couldn't find a target to shoot. The goal was all taken by the other comrades.

Xu Canxu felt ashamed of his cowardice. He was worried that his father would be disappointed if he knew how he was doing today. Thankfully, he still has a chance to improve. There are still battles in the White Coats Navy. He swore that in the future battles, he would definitely show himself well, and he would never continue to be cowardly and retreat.

…… Derek was escorted to Chen Zhan. The Dutch admiral, even after being captured, looked unconvinced. He believes that it is really unfair for the white-clothed navy to use high-powered firearms in hand-to-hand combat. If given the chance, he hopes to have a fair decisive battle with the White Navy. It's a pity that Chen Zhan won't give him a chance. Chen Zhan just waved his hand coldly, and Derek was escorted down.

"Hand-to-hand combat? You are no match for hand-to-hand combat! When Derek was escorted down, he heard a white navy whispering behind him. There is no doubt that this tone of speech must be very contemptuous and disdainful.

If it had been before the battle began, Derek would have scoffed at such words. Perhaps, he will also become angry and vow to fight the other party. The Dutch absolutely could not accept such an insult! Because, apart from the British, no one seems to dare to go head-to-head with the Dutch in hand-to-hand combat! Not even the Spaniards would dare!

However, now, Derek only sighed helplessly and walked silently with his head bowed. As for the sarcasm of the white-clothed army and navy, he only pretended not to hear it. Because, he has deeply realized that even in hand-to-hand combat, the Dutch are not the opponent of the white army and navy. The difference in strength between the two is too big, so big that there is no chance to make up for it. Dutch, it's too late to say anything. The only way out for them is to surrender early.

As Derek's flagship, the large Dutch battleship, is still basically intact. It was not hit by the artillery fire of the white-coated army and navy, and the damage was naturally not very large. The bullets of submachine guns and shell guns are only effective against the fragile human body. For a huge warship, it is simply negligible. Chen Zhan immediately divided half of the personnel and was responsible for indulging the Dutchman's flagship and returning to the port of Las Palmas.

…… After Derek's flagship was captured, the pursuit did not stop.

The cunning Dutch warships fled in all directions of the Atlantic. They tried to distract the Navy of the White Coats. The white-clothed navy warships chasing after them also adopted the method of scattered pursuit, with one battleship chasing one enemy ship. By the end, the combat basically developed into a one-on-one heads-up.

Most of the Dutch warships were overtaken by the white-coated naval warships, and the battle broke out. The other white-clothed naval warships were not as merciful as Chen Zhan's flagship, and ended the battle in hand-to-hand combat. Directly with heavy artillery fire, they sent the Dutch battleship to the bottom of the sea. Unless the Dutch warship raised the white flag and surrendered, it was possible to escape.

The Dutch battleship, which was destroyed by artillery fire, had to abandon ship and escape. In the vast sea, the only thing that can save them is the battleship of the White Army Navy. The Dutch had no choice but to keep waving the white flag, hoping that the white navy would be able to rescue them. If you keep floating on the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, you will die in a few days.

Generally speaking, in the absence of accidents, most of the white-coated naval warships were still willing to save the Dutch. In the spirit of humanitarianism, as long as the other side lays down its arms and no longer takes hostile actions, the white-clothed army is still very cooperative.

However, part of the Dutch, in the process of being saved, tried to use tricks to seize the warships of the White Army Navy. As a result, their actions angered the White Navy and the Navy. As a result, they were all ruthlessly abandoned on the vast sea, with nothing. What kind of fate awaits them, only God knows.

Due to the long pursuit of the warships of the White Navy, most of them pursued to the middle of the Atlantic, and some even pursued to the east coast of South America, where they encountered several other fleets of the White Navy operating on the American continent. With the help of other fleets, the Dutch warships that fled to the Americas were completely annihilated. The last vitality of the Dutch can be said to be completely buried.

However, the warships of the Fourth and Ninth Fleets of the White Navy, when returning from the Americas, had to sail against the wind, which required a lot of time. Therefore, it was not until three months later that the battleships that had pursued the farthest returned to the port of Las Palmas one after another.

Thus ended the First Naval Battle of Madeira. The losses of the navy of the white-coated army were almost negligible. And the combined fleet of the West is close to a hundred warships. For this reason, the interior of the Western Combined Fleet has been turned upside down.

…… Madeira, Port Wilgin, Governor's Residence.

The top management of the Western Combined Fleet held an emergency meeting here to discuss countermeasures.

The port, called Wilgin, was named after a Portuguese. Because, it was Wilkin who first discovered the existence of Madeira. In fact, the entire archipelago of Madeira is under the jurisdiction of the Portuguese. The Portuguese established a province here as a governing body, and appointed a governor to administer it. However, the combined fleet of the West did not consult the Portuguese at all, and took it for itself.
