Hi!

This freewheel broke on me after 2 months and now I need to replace it.

I can not get it off. I have try hammering on it with a pointy thing to make it unwind, but nothing happens at all. I did this anti clockwise, which I assume is correct?

The metal is so soft so I just destroy the "pin holes".

Those holes are used to disassemble the freewheel, and turn the opposite direction. The lighting on your pic is too dark to see which proper tool is used to remove the freewheel. However, with that style with a hub motor with the cable running through the axle end, it may be a non removable freewheel, since you wouldn’t be able to get a normal freewheel tool in place.
Here’s a video on removing a “non-removable” freewheel. Hopefully you can still get it off after mangling those little holes.
