Chapter 1072

Stephen looked despairingly at the imperial soldiers rushing into the trench like a tide.

Under the bombardment of the shells, the soldiers hiding in the trench were seriously injured. In order to avoid being killed by the shells, many Dutch soldiers hid in the earth cave again.

But now the imperial soldiers charged, they had to come out of the hole to resist, but when they showed their heads again, machine guns shot again, which made them miserable.

What is more terrible is that under the cover of machine guns, the imperial soldiers quickly rushed to the trench. Facing the Dutch soldiers in the trench, they dropped the grenades, which made the defense force in the trench collapse.

Simon and aver are in this dilemma at the moment. Without the machine gun, they can't stop the imperial soldiers from charging.

The battle was doomed at the moment it started, and they were once again at a disadvantage in the face of the imperial cannonball falling from the sky.

However, the existence of trenches and burrows still retained a considerable part of the Dutch living power.

After the imperial soldiers rushed into the trench, a fierce hand to hand battle with bayonets began.

"Stephen, we have to retreat. It won't last long." Simon and Avril rush to Stephen in confusion.

Two people's bodies were covered with soil, which was lifted and landed on them by bombs.

"Now what about our casualties? "Asked Stephen.

"We lost 30% of our soldiers just because of the other side's bombing. The aboriginal soldiers we trained have shaken their morale, and they will soon fall into chaos. In that case, only the remaining Dutch soldiers can not resist the attack of the Empire. "Simon said eagerly.

Although iver was very sad, he understood that he could not but abandon this last Dutch colony in Asia.

"I've ruled here for many years, and I'm very familiar with the terrain here. Take the rest of the soldiers into the East rainforest, and we can get rid of their pursuit. As long as we go through the rainforest, we can reach the city of bull a hundred miles away, and we can leave by merchant ship." Said aver.

Stephen continued to look at the battlefield, and from time to time there were gunshots and grenades exploding in the trenches. These were Dutch soldiers cleaning up the trenches by imperial soldiers.

On the flank of the trench, some aboriginal soldiers climbed out of the trench and fled, but fell one after another under machine gun fire.

As the imperial soldiers poured into the trenches and the defense line was constantly compressed, Stephen said, "retreat and destroy everything that can be destroyed in Jakarta, leaving nothing of value to the Empire. "

" no problem, Mr. Stephen. " Said Simon and aver in unison.

Then they sounded the retreat horn, heard the order, the Dutch soldiers in the ditch climbed up the ditch to retreat to Jakarta.

On the king, thunder was observing the situation of the whole battlefield. As soon as the Dutch broke up, he immediately gave the order to the front-line commander Chang Yuzhu.

Chang Yuzhu, who got the order, immediately led the imperial soldiers to strengthen their attack and shuttle through the trench. Instead of fighting with the Dutch soldiers for bayonets, they directly used rifles to shoot. At the same time, they would throw grenades into the earth hole whenever they met.

Because they ignored the cave, they just suffered a lot. Some Dutch soldiers rushed out of the cave and attacked them from behind.

”Come on! Come on! Don't waste time with these dutchmans. Don't do a goddamn bayonet fight. "Chang Yuzhu scolded.

Facing the Dutch bayonet provocation, the imperial soldiers often can't help holding the bayonet to fight.

However, although they were proficient in bayonet technology, the size and physique of the imperial soldiers were still somewhat different from those of the Dutch, so they could not take much advantage in bayonet fighting.

But in this way, the speed of the attack was delayed. Seeing the Dutch officers with their soldiers retreating, Chang Yuzhu was even more anxious, because according to their war experience, these colonists would take away a lot of wealth from the city and destroy everything they could before retreating.

This situation will benefit them a lot less from the war, and they will also lose a lot after the war.

At this time, the soldiers also recalled that the Dutch soldiers who were still resisting were obviously to delay their pursuit.

In retrospect, they loaded bullets one after another, threw grenades one by one at the enemy, and suddenly strengthened their firepower. The Dutch soldiers were unable to stand up and retreated one after another.

After Chang Yuzhu and his soldiers chased after him and completely captured the trench, he led the vanguard troops to pursue the city of Jakarta.

Just as they were 200 meters away from the gate, suddenly a line of Dutch soldiers stood on the wall of Jakarta.

A burst of gunfire rang out, the imperial soldiers had no time to respond, and the soldiers in the front row were shot and fell to the ground.

"All down! "Chang Yuzhu fell on the ground and yelled," battalion commander, get the mortar over here and hit me hard at the wall. "

In a short time, the first batch of 30 mortars were transported. After simply adjusting the angle, the soldiers put the shells into the guns. With the sound of the shells, the city of Jakarta suddenly turned into a sea of fire.In the explosion, the city wall of Jakarta was full of stone debris. In a short time, the whole city gate was collapsed by mortar shells.

After breaking through the gate, Chang Yuzhu raised his arms and the imperial soldiers rushed to the city again.

At the governor's mansion, the first three men, Stephen, are directing the soldiers to carry gold and silver, but the sound of the city gate collapsing suddenly makes them look very ugly.

The imperial soldiers seemed to understand their intentions, and they would never have the chance to carry away their wealth.

Seeing the gunfire getting closer and closer, the Dutch soldiers kept fleeing to the governor's house. They looked at each other reluctantly

Stephen said: "burn the governor's house."

After that, he snatched a soldier's torch and threw it on the curtain of the window of the governor's mansion, and the flame suddenly rose to the sky.

At the same time, Dutch soldiers threw torches at valuable buildings, shops, granaries and houses in the city. Everything that could be ignited began to burn.

In the fire, Stephen opened a box full of gold and silver for Dutch soldiers to snatch.

"Soldiers, these are our Dutch property. Take them all. Now we are going to Boer city and follow us, so that those bastards can get nothing." Cried Stephen.

For him, now is the best way to keep Jakarta's wealth. He would rather give it to the Dutch soldiers than to the people of the Chinese Empire.

The soldiers let out a cheer and put the gold and silver on them. They protected Stephen and the three of them to the east gate.

Leaving the city of Jakarta, Stephen looks at the city in flames with a sneer, so that even if he doesn't keep Jakarta, he will have an explanation.
