Located between Borneo and Sumatra, Belitou is a large island.

At the southern end of Belitao Island, which was approaching the British Far East Fleet, an equally powerful fleet was quietly parked on the sea, allowing the waves to slap the ship.

On the No. 101 Fearless first-class battleship, Luo Haiping, commander of the Red Guard Navy, waited patiently for the time of engagement.

For two months, the Red Guard Navy has been actively preparing for war, against the British Far Eastern Fleet, the strength of the First Fleet is completely enough.

But this is not to say that the Red Guards have a completely crushing advantage, after all, the other side has six battleships, the First Fleet has only two battleships.

For any war on the battlefield of the Dutch East Indies, Fan Yize did not mean to intervene in the command, all of which allowed the Red Police Corps to play on its own and formulate its own combat plans and tactics, and Fan Yize should only be the result.

If this is a normal thing for military generals in other countries, it is even more stressful for all officers of the Red Guards.

In the words of Luo Haiping, this is the commander's trust in himself, but it is also a test, and if you can't defeat the British fleet quickly, it will be to live up to the commander's expectations.

The trumpet of war had been blown, and according to the intelligence ship, the British Far Eastern Fleet had ended its nanny work, exposed its tusks, and had gradually approached the island of Beridong.

In the flagship command center, seven or eight staff officers and intelligence personnel are busy on the charts, and the wireless receivers of the command center are constantly receiving all kinds of intelligence from the intelligence ship.

The British were careful not to separate the fleet, but formed a complete battle formation, gradually approaching the Java Sea.

At the same time, the British fleet is also surrounded by fast warships, these only one or two thousand tons of fast warships, its role is the same as the destroyer, but at this time the British Navy, there is no destroyer name.

These British fast warships, tonnage ranging from a thousand tonne to three thousand tons, are not strong, the speed can reach twenty-three knots, and undertakes combat tasks similar to that of the destroyers.

The night came completely, and the obscure moonlight was obscured on the sea, although it would not reach out and see the five fingers, but it could not be seen from a hundred meters away.

In the dim night, even if the enemy is found, you can only vaguely see a subtle outline, of course, in this era of environment, the fastest way to find the enemy is to find the smoke column.

Even in the night, the column of smoke rolling up is much clearer than the warship.

But the British Navy could not have imagined that their opponent's warships were not coal-burning, nor were there any obvious plumes of smoke.

From a technical point of view, this is an asymmetric war, but the asymmetry is not too obvious, but if coupled with tactics and vision, it is really asymmetrical.

Although the British naval soldiers and officers of this period, whether the soldier's literacy or command and naval combat experience, were among the best in the world, there was no comparison in the face of a group of Red Guards who were familiar with modernization and even naval warfare for more than a hundred years in the future.

Luo Haiping, sitting in the command center of the town, calmly looked at the four fast warships of the United Kingdom, and was calculating the time in his heart through Belidong Island.

A few minutes later, in the eastern waters of Belitao, two British fast warships with two artillery ships, had bypassed Belitong Island and entered the Java Sea.

On the Navro fast, many British sailors searched the sea around in combat positions.

Along the way, occasionally encounter small fishing boats on the sea, in such a sea, encountering fishing boats is a very normal thing, the British sailors did not care.

The British sailors on the warship do not think that they will encounter the enemy's warships here, and in their view, it should be around the dawn, and when they enter the middle of the Java Sea, it is possible to encounter the enemy warships.

This view is widespread among most sailors in the British fleet, and although they are careful, they are inevitably spiritually lax.

This situation is very normal, if now it is all tense nerves, if it is in the middle of the night, really encounter the enemy, then who has the spirit to meet the enemy?

Just off the surface of the sea, a few small fishing boats were slowly moving on the sea, and the British sailors on the fast battleship of the namro had found the few, but unfortunately they did not care.

In the dark night, on the edge of these fishing boats, there were two dozens of tons of torpedo boats.

This kind of torpedo boat in this era is not at all, on the more than 20 tons of torpedo boats, there are only two torpedo launch tubes, and each of the launch tubes has one torpedo that can be launched at any time.

Under the cover of the fishing boats, the torpedo boats were very smoothly approaching the edge of the British warships.

"Two torpedoes, launch."

On each torpedo boat, the command of the attack came at the same time, the attack, and the means of surprise.

In the calculated advance amount, a torpedo toward the front position of the British warship, the torpedo boat to complete the attack, still unsatisfied with the fishing boat.

The torpedoes were launched, and all the red police sailors on the torpedo boat could not help holding their breath, waiting for the immediate results to appear.

On the fast-ship Navro, a British officer who was blowing the wind on the port side of the ship unexpectedly looked at the raging sea of bubbles not far away, and the bubbles approached the side of the warship in a straight line, extremely fast.

“What is this?”

The British officer scratched his head somewhat doubtfully, thinking of the torpedo for the first time, and he had seen many torpedo attacks, but the torpedoes did not all float on the water?

The eyes did not take away from these two sparkles, until the two torpedoes were about to hit the warship under his feet, and stared head down to see what it was.

In the dark waters, when he saw two long tubular, instinctive nerves strained in an instant, yet everything was too late.

The sound of a violent explosion in the distance, his consciousness was suddenly blank.

The two torpedoes that hit the Navy Navro, blown the 2,000-ton warship out of the water, and the amazing power of underwater explosions directly disintegrated the warship into wreckage.

The other three warships not far from the edge, all very doom hit the torpedo, in the dark night, in this or the surface of the torpedo era, the suddenness of underwater torpedoes, even if there is no submarine, is still enough to never see the British, pay a heavy price.

The concealment of underwater torpedoes, the super lethality of contact with water pressure, two fast warships of only two thousand tons, and two gunboats with only more than 700 tons, were directly blown into pieces.
