1890 King of Southeast Asia

Bang! On November 2nd, the second day of the celebration ceremony, in the temporary headquarters of Sanbao Mo, Wang Yang patted the table in anger.

"Reverse these people, dare to impact the military post!"

"How many deaths?"

"Three dead and 11 injured, we used ordinary drugs. We are not enough for sulfa, and it is strictly forbidden to spread it." Zhao Dabao, deputy captain of the first team, said.

"That eleven?" Wang Yang asked.

"The doctor said at most five." Zhao Dabao said.

"His ~, the doctor found there? There is something!" Wang Yang knew that it was not a military doctor, Zhao Dabao's personality, and this situation could not let the military doctor go.

"Do you know that he has two brushes!" Zhao Dabao was aggrieved.

"What about this?" Zhao Dabao asked.

"What do you do, report truthfully, and also, did the people who ran away yesterday caught back?" Wang Yang said irritated.

"It's all catching back, they have no place to hide."

"Did you ask?"

"I found this, I think it's a bit useful." Zhao Dabao took out a paper.

Wang Yang took over and recorded the activities in the Sanbao Romance, and the movement of some South China Army.

"Huh ~ It's okay, these people are not just expelled, this can be regarded as spy!"

"Report the headquarters truthfully, notify the three treasures of the city, and speed up the registration speed of the household registration. In addition, Mayor Zhang has set off, and it will be here tonight." Wang Yang wanted martial law, but he thought of martial law on the second day of the celebration. So stable.

Liu Yiming received a report. In addition to a sentence, he only expressed support for Wang Yang.

..............

At the same time, the sight moved south, and it was also on November 2nd.

Yang Tao took more than 1,500 people with the main force of the Second Third Division, and carefully selected more than 200 unintentional puppet troops. He came to the city of Nikol, and he was preparing for the second offensive for the second time.

At the same time, the messenger was sent to bring the compliant with the two battalions collected by the Netherlands, including military knives, guns, military uniforms, etc., and persuaded the Dutch.

"The Dutch who went to the bandits had been wiped out by us. You have no aid. Now surrender, you can enjoy special treatment!" The messenger did not enter the city, but shouted with people outside the city.

"What are these despicable monkeys talking about? What are they taking in their hands?" Unfortunately, the Dutch of the city of the city could not understand Malay, but saw the things in the hands of the messenger through the telescope.

"They said that the troops going out of the bandits have failed, let us surrender!" Dutch soldiers who stayed in Java beside us served as a translation.

"Are they out of mind? Full of nonsense, ready to shoot!" The Dutch generals in the city commanded.

Under the city, the messenger kept paying attention to the Dutch movements. After all, they didn't even take their heads, not like they wanted to negotiate.

"Withdraw! Withdraw!" Seeing the Dutch aiming at the gun, the messenger withdrew the horse without hesitation.

"The mortar cover!" Yang Tao in the rear saw the situation with a telescope, and immediately ordered.

The already prepared mortar fired a number of smoke bombs, blocking the Dutch's sight, so that the messenger could run back successfully.

"It's so bully!" Yang Tao gritted his teeth.

"The mortar entered the position, and the head of the city was bombed from a long distance." Yang Tao turned his head to order.

This time, Wang Yang brought all sixty mortars. At one kilometer, the mortar began to arrange the position.

Seeing this, the Dutch on the tower did not know what the South China Army was going, but with the consent of the enemy, we objected to the thinking and ordered the city artillery to attack the mortar.

Boom.

There was a sound of artillery, but it was useless. In the first round, the first round was generally tested.

Moreover, the most 1776 -year -old shelter firing distance on the city head is only a few hundred meters. There is no way to play this distance. Only seven or eight artillery can be mortar.

"Artillery cover mortars!" Yang Tao ordered the siege artillery and Sanqi gun.

The other six -pound cannons also demonstrated the gun, but the distance is too far, it is useless.

Boom!

The tube artillery and large -caliber siege cannon attracted the attention of the Dutch. They shifted their attention and began to fight with the South China Army.

The two sides have come and go, that is, the actual damage is very low.

boom!

Finally, after a few rounds of shooting, a real bomb shot from the wall of Yijia City, hitting a six -pound cannon that had just been launched, and completed the results of five people injured and one person died.

Oh ~~

The morale of the Dutch defenders in the head of the city suddenly rose!

The noodles under the city were like earth -colors, and they were afraid of being sent by Yang Tao to be a cannon fodder. Some people thought about how to pretend to be dead, but found that Wang Yang just looked at the city head with a single bin -telescope and didn't speak.

"Report, the first mortar team is prepared." He reported.

"Open the fire! Three consecutive shots." Wang Yang put down the single telescope and commanded.

Then Yang Tao touched his pocket and took out the pocket watch.

"In eight minutes, it's okay." This is not the time to set up the settings, but from the group, passing 500 meters to enter the position, digging the position, then setting up, debugging, and the enemy's dispensable fire fire. It's fast enough.

Alas! The mortar made a crisp sound.

The cannon shells pass through the air and make a sharp noise.

boom! Boom! boom!

The mortar shells were rare. This is the first test.

"Adjust the azimuth xxx, the height xx, three rapid shots, ready, fire!" The first mortar team's twenty 82 mortars fired sixty high-explosive shells in a short period of time.

Boom boom boom ~ ~ ~

The explosions were loud.

Before the Dutch could figure out the situation, the second and third mortar teams also conducted test firings and dropped shells.

Yang Tao decisively ordered when the second mortar team was testing.

"The natives are in front, the infantry is fifty meters behind, attack."

Turned to the natives and said.

"All those who are caught up must die!"

Seeing the city wall covered by the explosion, the natives did not believe that anyone could survive. Hearing this, they shouted loudly and rushed forward.

Two hundred native puppet soldiers took Dutch standard weapons and attacked the Dutch, followed by hundreds of South China soldiers wearing green uniforms and British standard weapons.

When the natives were still seven or eight hundred meters away from the city wall, the second and third mortar teams had fired the three scheduled shells and stopped temporarily.

This is what Yang Tao meant. After all, unlike Dahukou and Semarang, there are ships to transport supplies and weapons can be used without scruples. Besides, there are consumables like natives who don't have to care about casualties, so why waste shells?

At this time, there were no more defenders on the city wall, or defenders were everywhere.

"Ah~ah!" The surviving Dutch colonial army either fled madly or picked up weapons and shot at the natives in front of them, and then was killed by the Nanhua Army following closely.

"It seems that the power of concentrated bombardment of shells is much greater than expected!" Yang Tao muttered to himself as he looked at the situation on the top of the city.

Yang Tao let the natives go in front for two purposes.

First, to attract the firepower of the Dutch, and second, to detonate dangerous duds to open the way for the Nanhua Army.

At this time, Nanhua's Dana explosives production, picric acid production, and smokeless gunpowder production have all entered regular production, and fuses have also entered industrial production, but the fuses at this time have a common problem, and the reliability is far from enough.

The mortars produced by the Nanhua Army have double fuses, with detonation fuses installed at the head and tail. The head is a collision fuse, and the tail is equipped with a delay fuse based on the propellant. It will explode ten seconds after being triggered.

Thanks to this, the fuse reliability of the Nanhua Army mortar shells is as high as 80%.

But the remaining 20% ​​is still a huge number.

For example, the natives who just rushed into the city gate were thinking of grabbing a handful and then finding a toilet to hide. As a result, one of the buddies was too excited and stepped on a dud. Coincidentally, the tail fuse of this dud was just stuck, and this step was stepped on and exploded by the mortar.

Boom...

The natives flew everywhere.

The natives paused and wanted to retreat, but the Nanhua soldiers behind them had already rushed over with bayonets, and the natives who had no way to avoid it could only walk to the city wall.

Unfortunately, as a target, the city wall must have been exposed to the wind and frost. For example, this time, the rain of bullets blew on the city wall, so there was a considerable threat around the city wall.

Boom boom boom

The natives kept triggering duds, so they ran around in panic and triggered more duds.

"Quickly occupy all the main roads in Yogyakarta." Yang Tao ordered.

"Gather the natives, it's still useful! Send a message to Captain Ximanle Xiehui that our unit has taken down the Yogyakarta city wall, let him bring people and prisoners with him."

"Enter the city and eliminate the remaining enemies!"

………………

The news released by Liu Yiming has been received by various newspaper headquarters far away in Europe. With the support of the activity funds, the headlines on the front page are all about one thing, "The Dutch are going to be finished, and the rebels have already occupied half of Java."

Liu Yiming is going to ferment this storm for several days.

Batavia.

At this time, the highest ruler of the Netherlands in Java, the former deputy director of the Finance and Taxation Bureau, rubbed his brows and said.

"What can I do?"

What bothered him was that the telegram sent by the Dutch government was asking for verification on the South China issue, but he didn't know. In fact, he knew less than the Dutch local government. How should he answer?

…………

Yogyakarta, at 10 a.m., the South China Army had entered the city and occupied the city gate, government hall, police station, warehouse, military camp, telegraph office, etc.

"Send a telegram to Surabaya. Our unit took control of Yogyakarta at 10 a.m. on November 2. We are clearing out the remaining enemies. Please give us further instructions!" Yang Tao didn't know the next strategy, so he sent a telegram to Surabaya to ask for the task.

In Surabaya, Liu Yiming was chatting with Charles calmly. The content was the same old things, loans, aid, and arms trade!

"Report, Yogyakarta telegram, at 10 a.m., the second and third detachments had successfully occupied Yogyakarta and were clearing out the remaining enemies. The specific battle report will be sent later, and please give us the next instructions!" said the messenger.

"Okay, I got it." Liu Yiming took the telegram and said happily.

"Charles, Yogyakarta has also been taken. According to intelligence, Yogyakarta has about 1,000 Dutch troops and more than 1,000 vassal troops. If we only count the Dutch, half of their armed forces have been destroyed by me!" Liu Yiming said to Charles.

"Yes, victory seems to be within reach, but I forgot to tell you that the Dutch still have more than 10,000 mercenaries in Sumatra, fighting the Kingdom of Aceh for more than ten years. Those people are not like the Dutch on Java Island, who have no fighting power!" Charles said.

Liu Yiming's smile froze for a moment, and then he continued.

"It doesn't matter, the more you come, the better, the best, solve it at one time."

Then Liu Yiming stared at Charles and asked.

"Charles, you are my friend, I hope to know the truth, do Britain support me replacing the Dutch's status in Southeast Asia?"

Liu Yiming's eyes blinked without blinking, under the face of Charles's face, not letting go of trace.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Charles said for a while and said.

"Of course!" Liu Yiming said.

"This is not in line with the interests of the British Empire." Charles lowered her head and fiddled with Liu Yiming's semi -automatic pistol.

"Why? When we replace the Dutch, we will inevitably adopt a loose trade policy, and you know me, I have no malice to the British Empire." Liu Yiming said with conscience.

"I know, but what's the use? Liu, you are Chinese, the population base and risk factor are not comparable to the Dutch." Charston said,

"The British Empire believes that you will threaten the safety of the Straits colonial, which is unacceptable to that group of masters."

"Sumatra will become a mineral base. In addition, it will become a place for exile people. Wherever there is necessary security, there will be no more military settlements!" Liu Yiming said.

"Liu, your ambition is too great. Even if there is no Sumatra, you will have Java. In the future, you can turn your goal to Kalimandan, the spice islands, which may be better." Charles said sincerely.

"But the British Empire did not launch military operations on Sumatra Island! With the Straits colonies, the British Empire does not need to be Sumatra!" Liu Yiming said.

"Yes, but the British Empire can't bear the potential threat!" Charles was angry.

"Well, let's put it on this matter first. I promise to stop on the east side of the strait." Liu Yiming knew that he was not qualified to talk about conditions.

"The political statement you made is pressure on the Dutch, are you ready? Then you will be very dangerous." Charles pulled the topic.

"Yes, I am going to wipe out the military forces of the Dutch in Java." Liu Yiming said decisively.

"You are really a lunatic! You may face more than 15,000 troops, more than 20,000 tons of navy!" Charles was surprised.

"In any case, after this battle, the victory and defeat naturally met. I want to know, what do you think about you just now?" Liu Yiming said.

"You are too risky, let's talk about it when you get a victory! I don't have more authority." Charles got up.

"If you win, you are qualified to talk about conditions with the British Empire." Before leaving, Charles said ...
