1890 King of Southeast Asia

When Liu Yiming held the press conference, a new round of battles started in Borneo and Medan.

The difference is that in Borneo, the natives became the helpers of the Chinese.

In Sumatra, the natives are Wang Yang's biggest obstacle.

Borneo.

"Captain, the reconnaissance company found a group of Japanese eight kilometers ahead." Wang Quanbao, the commander of the reconnaissance company, said.

"Where are they? How many people are there? What are their equipment?" The commander took out the map and asked Wang Quanbao to mark it.

"In the southeast direction, this position. There are about 700 people, and no artillery is seen." Wang Quanbao pointed out a location, then took out a towel to wipe his sweat.

Kalimantan Island, that is, Borneo, is in the northern hemisphere, tropical, and the rainforest climate makes people sweat all over.

And you have to wear clothes, pants and boots. The rainforest, which is close to zero development, is full of poisonous insects.

"Let's set off now and we can arrive before five o'clock." Wang Quanbao said, looking at the commander thinking hard.

The regiment leader was Sishui, so he joined the Nanhua Army. Wang Quanbao was one of the few older children among the first batch of immigrants.

After working for half a year, he was selected from the militia to join the special forces battalion, and then the army was expanded and he was transferred to become a company commander.

The two people who had nothing to do with each other were both from southern Fujian. There were many people from southern Fujian, but their ancestors were from the same village! So they had a good relationship.

"You mean, a night attack?" The regiment leader Gong Xiaohua hesitated.

"It will be mid-month soon, and the moonlight will be bright. I think we can try it." Wang Quanbao was going to annihilate the whole army.

"Okay! The whole army will march quickly to the valley behind the Japanese army to rest, and the reconnaissance company will clear the road and launch an attack in the early morning!" Gong Xiaohua nodded and said.

"Messenger, report to the headquarters. The vanguard of the Japanese army was found in front of our regiment and will launch an attack in the early morning. Try to annihilate this Japanese army."

Because they had to cross the mountainous area, the Nanhua Army did not carry artillery, but they still had to carry food and basic ammunition.

In addition to the difficulty of marching in the mountainous area, it took four hours for Gong Xiaohua's regiment to reach the destination.

"Take the time to rest, no fire allowed, get up at three in the morning, and start the attack at four!"

Gong Xiaohua arranged after finally arriving at the destination.

The soldiers ate the marching food silently, and rested silently with the few waters.

"Have you finished drinking?" Shen Chang said jokingly to the little soldier next to him.

"Uh..." Chen Ganjin smiled dryly.

"Here, I'll give you a sip, and you'll have something to drink tomorrow." Shen Chang took the lid of the kettle and poured a lid for him.

"Uh..." Chen Ganjin thought this officer could give him much...

"Don't show that look, this is only half a kettle of water, you have to hold on until tomorrow." Shen Chang scolded with a smile.

"Platoon leader, you are so stingy, you must not have a wife, right?" Chen Ganjin knew that the platoon leader was a man of his word, and since he couldn't drink water, he stabbed his heart.

Snap!

"What are you talking about? Ah!" Shen Chang reached out and hit Chen Ganjin on the head.

"You are not good at anything, and you eat everything you want. Go to sleep. Follow me tomorrow. Don't act rashly. Don't be fussy. Just do it when you need to. Don't think about taking prisoners before the battle is over." Shen Chang took off his hat and got into his sleeping bag.

"Go to sleep. You have to get up at three o'clock tomorrow! If you don't get up, I will beat you to death!"

Chen Ganjin touched his head embarrassedly and got into his sleeping bag.

…………

Medan.

"Has the front line not been broken yet?" Wang Yang sat in the temporary command room. With the firepower and combat effectiveness of the South China Army, the front line did not break through for an hour. This is very abnormal!

"According to the news reported from three directions, it is all the natives who are resisting, and the Dutch will to resist is still very weak." The staff officer said with the intelligence.

Wang Yang did not speak and picked up the telescope.

……

"Bazooka!" Chen Han shouted hoarsely.

Bang! boom!

A rocket flew towards a barricade, but the effect was not very good. It only blew up a pile of stones and bricks.

"Squad leader, what should we do? We can't blow it up, and rushing forward will only increase casualties." The soldier shouted to Chen Han.

"Where are the artillery? Find the artillery!" Chen Han shouted.

"Yes!" The soldier turned and ran to the back. If there were artillery, they must be there.

This was the second attack launched by the South China Army. The South China troops, who had no experience in landing battles, rushed too fast in the first attack.

Although the results were good, they were weak, and then the Dutch East India Army on the opposite side immediately formed a defense line with simple barricades.

"Squad leader, what should we do? Just wait like this?" The deputy squad leader came over and asked.

"According to your observation, how many people are there on the opposite side?" Chen Han asked.

"Thirty or forty, distributed in the houses on both sides and the barricade in the middle." The deputy squad leader said.

Chen Han changed his posture, took out a cigarette, lit it with burning wood, and smoked it.

"Huh~ At least sixty, just now the first squad almost rushed up, and there were at least thirty guns firing at the same time in the house on the left." Chen Han.

"Alas!" This battle was so frustrating!

"Street fighting is like this, don't rush, rushing is giving opportunities." Chen Han looked at the unhappy deputy squad leader and comforted him.

"The cannon is coming!" After smoking a cigarette, Chen Han saw a small cannon being carried by a group of people and placed at an angle.

"Fire, fire, fire! Be careful!" An artillery warrant officer commanded.

"Level it and dig a pit." The warrant officer commanded.

"Sir, can you break through that barricade?" Chen Han crawled out of the bunker and asked.

"Okay." The warrant officer was digging a hole and said without looking back.

"What kind of gun is this? It's not ours, right?" Chen Han wanted to help dig the hole, but was rejected because he didn't know how to dig and might ruin it.

"Okay!" The warrant officer didn't answer, because he didn't know what the gun was called. It was dismantled from a Dutch ship, with a caliber of 57. He only found a dilapidated gun mount, so he had to dig a hole to balance it.

"Can we fire?" the warrant officer asked.

"Wait a minute, wait until we are in place!" Chen Han turned back and rushed back to the offensive position, calling the soldiers.

"Bazooka, cover!"

Without smoke bombs and suppressive firepower, Chen Han could only choose to use more expensive and rare rockets as suppressive firepower.

Bang! boom!

There was another explosion. Chen Han took advantage of the explosion to rush forward ten meters, looked at the barricade sixty or seventy meters away, and made a gesture to the back.

"Load!" the warrant officer shouted. A shell was loaded into the barrel.

Kata. Locking completed!

"Fire!"

Tong!

boom!

The explosion was not very strong because the charge was black powder.

"Second shot!" The warrant officer looked at the squad leader in front of him and waved.

"Over!"

"Fire!"

Tong!

boom!

The warrant officer did not speak. He watched the squad leader turn over and rush to 20 meters away, then threw four grenades.

Taking advantage of the smoke of the explosion, the follow-up soldiers also arrived. The barricade was captured. Without the barricade, the road on the street could not support it.

"These natives ate gunpowder?" Chen Han cursed fiercely after clearing the barricade with a short-barreled shotgun!

"Squad leader, come and see!" The deputy squad leader suddenly shouted.

Chen Han came to a high point and carefully poked his head out.

The scene in front of him shocked him. Not far away, another barricade had been built. In the distance, houses could be seen collapsing, but Nanhua had not attacked there yet!

"I will report to the company commander. You take people to defend it. Be careful of the enemy's counterattack!" Chen Han knew that the problem was serious. The enemy planned to build more barricades.

The news soon reached Wang Yang.

"That is to say, Medan has become a street fighting fortress." Wang Yang murmured.

"Thank you, the barricades are all open-air, right?" Wang Yang asked.

"Most of the ones that have been discovered are."

"Reorganize, use platoons as attacking units, each platoon is equipped with a mortar, temporarily stop the attack, the navy will provide more artillery fire." Wang Yang wanted to use phosgene, but it was sunny and the wind direction was not conducive to its use, so he could only say it.

Nanhua is preparing for a new round of attacks in Medan, and it is too difficult to make great progress in street fighting.

…………

"Get up! Still sleeping?" Chen Ganjin was drowsy and was awakened by Shen Chang.

"Platoon leader? Are we going to set off?" Chen Ganjin asked.

"Hurry up, get up!" Shen Chang gave him a kick, making him wake up completely.

"Eat quickly, our company is the vanguard of the whole regiment, you will follow me later, don't make a sound, even if you die!" Shen Chang warned.

"Yes!" Chen Ganjin was startled and answered in a low voice.

"Hurry up and eat." Breakfast was compressed biscuits, the main ingredients were rice flour, with fish powder and meat powder added. After steaming, they were mixed and dehydrated, and stored by vacuuming.

"There is still a small half pot, save it and drink it, that's all." Shen Chang handed him the kettle.

Half an hour later, the vanguard started to set off, rustling towards the Japanese army station.

It was already past four o'clock when they found the location.

The Japanese army had four sentries and eight people on duty. Although they were quite serious, it was already past four in the morning, and people couldn't stop being sleepy, especially during this period of time.

The Nanhua Army went up along the stream and, with the help of the moonlight, they reached a position 50 meters in front of the Japanese camp without being discovered.

Japan was in financial difficulties, with a large population, and exports depended entirely on a little silk. The fishing industry was not well developed. The army's red deer were called five-cent soldiers, which were extremely cheap. Before the victory of the two wars of the Qing Dynasty and the Russo-Japanese War and the seizure of vast lands, their status was extremely low!

At this time, the Japanese soldiers who ate two seaweed rice balls a day, this was not before the war, after all, and Japan did not expect to make a fortune in Borneo, and most of the soldiers suffered from night blindness.

"Closer!" Shen Chang saw that he was not discovered, so he decided to move forward a little further.

"Wait and see where I rush to rush, you rush there, and if I lie down, you lie down immediately!" Shen Chang said to Chen Ganjin, and ran forward.

Thirty meters!

"Bazooka! Break the door!"

The Japanese camp looked like a settlement, with a circle of fences. It was not strong, but it would waste time anyway, and it might cause unexpected casualties.

Bang!

boom!

The wooden gate was blasted into a big hole and fell to the ground.

"Rush in and suppress the firepower. If you can throw grenades, don't shoot!" Shen Chang took a shotgun and shot at a sentry post from thirty meters away.

A scream came from the front.

Kachi!

Pump-action ammunition feeding is troublesome to load, but it has a very impressive effect. As long as there are bullets in the barrel, the firing rate is faster than that of a rifle!

Shotguns still kill in areas, but the steel balls are not very far apart at 30 meters.

"Kougeki! (Enemy attack)" a shrill scream rang out.

Bang bang continued, and rockets kept flying into the cabin and thatched house, causing explosions. Ignite the fire.

Because all the Japanese soldiers were asleep, it caused great chaos.

"Baga! Go and see what's going on?" Captain Yamamoto pulled up his pants and shouted outside the house. He couldn't believe that someone dared to attack them.

Since the Japanese army entered Kalimantan Island, it has been like a fish in water!

The natives have a lot of rice, meat, gold, silver, gems, spices, etc., and the Japanese army just happened to have guns and was almost penniless! Isn't it a coincidence?

So, it was like an old pervert who had abstained from sex for half a year saw a beautiful woman...

Gululu~

Before Captain Yamamoto put on his equipment, two black things flew in from the window.

"What?" This was the last question of Yamamoto's life.

boom!

The grenade emitted light and heat to express how passionately he loved the world, but the movement was a little louder, and the broken shrapnel penetrated its body, and the impact broke its internal organs and caused wounds.

Bang!

The door was kicked open.

Bang!

A short-barreled shotgun sprayed deadly iron sand, covering the entire room.

"Safe!"

After the fight, Chen Ganjin looked inside the house, but it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he set the house on fire.

"Is that a document?" Shen Chang turned around and saw a pile of documents in the room.

"Get down!" Shen Chang pulled a grenade from Chen Ganjin and threw it on the haystack that had just been lit.

Boom!

The shock wave extinguished part of the flames, and Shen Chang took the opportunity to rush in and ran with a pile of documents.

"You loser." Shen Chang, who rushed out, hit Chen Ganjin again.

"Platoon leader, we have already killed our way through, what do we do next?" Chen Ganjin asked, holding his head in grievance.

"Fight back, how many more grenades do you need?" Shen Chang sorted out the documents and put them in his clothes.

"No more..." Chen Ganjin touched his body, and all the twelve grenades he brought before setting off were gone. Most importantly, he only threw four, and the rest were thrown by the platoon leader.

"You loser!" Shen Chang took out the bag for a long time, and only one was left.

"Get down!" Shen Chang saw two Japanese soldiers in white shirts holding golden hook rifles rushing out of a collapsed wooden house.

Bang!

Bang!

Crack, bang!

Shen Chang covered his thigh, gritted his teeth, and held back his screams. Screaming in the melee was a death wish.

"Platoon leader! Where are you injured?" Chen Ganjin asked nervously.

"My thigh, I can move. Fortunately, I didn't hurt the bone!" Shen Chang said with sweat on his forehead.

"Help me stop the bleeding."

"How to stop it?" Chen Ganjin was at a loss.

"It's okay. The artery was not injured." Shen Chang looked at the wound. The front muscle was hit and the outside came out. The wound was not small, but there was no blood spraying. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Medical kit! Have you forgotten everything you trained?" Shen Chang relaxed and said softly.

Chen Ganjin forced himself to stabilize, sprinkled hemostatic powder first, and bandaged it after a simple treatment.

The next step was for the medical soldier to do it.

At this time, the sound of gunfire and explosions gradually became smaller, and more than 400 of the 800-strong Japanese army chose to surrender...
