Chapter 355 Bloodstained Demeanor

  In these days, in addition to the killed and escaped natives, the Second Division of Kalimantan captured more than 8,000 natives and more than 900 white Dutch soldiers (including militias) and successfully occupied the port.

  A fire at the timber yard killed more than 400 stubborn Dutch defenders. They escaped from the fire with one shot and one shot, leaving no life behind.

  The fierce means of the 2nd Regiment of the Kalimantan 2nd Division really scared the more than 600 Dutch defenders on the fort, and the will to resist instantly collapsed. After just over 10 minutes, they raised the white flag and surrendered.

  At this point, the Kalimantan 2nd Division has completed all landing tasks.

  As the first landing force, the task of the Kalimantan 2nd Division was to occupy the port and respond to the large-scale cross-sea landing of the 1st and Shangri-La Divisions.

After this

  The three parties worked together to form a heavy-armed group of more than 20,000 people. In one fell swoop, they took down two important towns, Semuda and Sampit, and wiped out Dutch plantations in the surrounding areas to completely remove the Dutch colonial mark.

   and then occupied Palangkaraya and surrounding towns more than 200 kilometers away, realizing the actual control of more than 70% of the vast area of ​​East Kalimantan Province, and achieving the combat goals set before the war.

  Semuda is a heavily defended area by the Dutch defenders. Both the size of the troops and the combat effectiveness are not inferior. With the strength of more than 6000 people in the second division of Kalimantan, it is not realistic to expect to swallow the enemy in one bite.

  The problem is that no one has too much military exploits, who wants to let others go?

  It is the more than 8,000 indigenous cannon fodder sent by the Dutch who really fascinated the division commander Liu Shan and the deputy division commander Koch.

   holds a battalion of 60mm light artillery in his hand. This is a weapon that accompanies the infantry’s offensive.

  This gave the 2nd Division Headquarters sufficient confidence, and based on this, formulated a rather dangerous plan for attacking aid, ready to play a big one.

  On the road behind the battlefield

  There is also a long queue of prisoners who can't see their heads. There are about 4000 people in total, waiting to be put into battle one by one.

  Inspector Liu Shan and Deputy Inspector Koch's eyes were bloodshot, watching the fierce battle ahead with serious expressions, and they communicated quietly from time to time.

   "Master, the Dutch native servant army can no longer hold it. I think another 2,000 people will be thrown into the impact and try to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

"what time is it now?"

"Well... it's 12 minutes and 6 o'clock. The enemy's response unit will soon catch fire with the group. When the time comes, the group will be attacked by the enemy. It is like a fish caught on an anvil. The thin line of defense is easy to be caught. It's too much pressure to pierce."

"The 60mm artillery battalion has three companies and a total of 12 guns. I assigned two companies to one group. This is a big killer against light infantry. Under such circumstances, it can't be defended. Isn't all the group eating and eating? Is it?"

"In the division seat, the Dutch support force is strong, with more than 6,000 people. This is equivalent to a whole division. In addition, the enemy in the encirclement is under the attack pressure from two aspects, and the group has a total of more than 1,600 people. Even if the engineering battalion is 2,000 people, the pressure on them is too great. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be serious!"

   "The regiment is the main force I brought out personally. It is not so easy to be defeated, but to be prudent, it is better to throw the prisoners in first, and strive to defeat the enemy in the encirclement as soon as possible."

  Hearing that the division commander Liu Shan finally let go, the deputy division commander Koch went to the principal with a sigh of relief, beckoning to call in the confidential staff to deliver the combat order; another 2,000 indigenous captives were thrown in.

  These 2,000 indigenous captives were thrown into the battlefield, and instantly crushed the indigenous servants. They ran away in ghosts and howling, leaving behind a large corpse, and the indigenous captives rushing up with fierce eyes. They had killed them mad.

   not far apart

  600 white gunmen lined up in three neat rows. The black hole pointed forward. Seeing the indigenous servant army collapsed all the way back, the Dutch commander shouted to retreat from both sides, and the deserters should not rush into the army.

  Many deserters saw the gestures running from both sides, and some deserters who had been beaten out of their souls just fled and ran into the middle.

  "Fire" the officer gave an order.

  "Papa......" After the intensive gunfire, the indigenous soldiers who fled in front fell down like leeks. The Dutch soldiers shot and knocked the friendly soldiers to the ground without hesitation.

  Compared with the native servant army of the 5th scum, the white army’s killing efficiency was much higher. The three-row firing queue formed by 600 people formed a dense bullet network. Whether it was friendly troops or native prisoners, it was a side-to-side slaughter.

   on the ground

  Tide-like enemies rushed from the direction of Symuda, and they quickly launched a fierce attack without a firm footing. For a time, gunfire broke out and the two sides fought fiercely.

  At this time, the entire eight- to nine-kilometer section of the road from Semuda to the port was caught in fierce fighting, with gunfire and cannons resounding everywhere.

  I saw a two-meter-high civil fortress lying in the middle of the road, about 60 meters long, and connected to undulating hills at both ends. This is a group of defensive positions erected overnight, facing the tide of the enemy.

At the front end of the civil fortress, separated by more than a hundred meters, is a large tree barrier built into a defensive wall with a height of half a person. The 60 artillery position, as a turret for firepower, constantly throws precise artillery shells into the enemy crowd, killing and wounding a large area.

  Two consecutive rounds of offensive were baptized by bullets. The indigenous army touched a hard nail and left a large corpse at the front of the position, and withdrew in embarrassment.

Colonel Henry came to the forward position with a gloomy face, and carefully observed the order through the binoculars; "Send a team of people to pretend to contain the enemy, and select the elite to go deep into the jungle, attack the enemy's artillery positions from the side, and discard their artillery. position."

   With an order, the soldiers immediately took action.

  More than 20 minutes later

   Fierce offensive and defensive war broke out again, and the indigenous army was still the main force of the offensive. They stood a few hundred meters away yelling and shooting randomly, but they did not dare to come forward.

  At this time, fierce gunfire came from the periphery of the artillery positions at both ends, and a small group of elite white gunners had quietly touched them, and engaged in fierce fighting with the defending soldiers.

  Under the cover of the dense forest, the offensive white gunners were found very close when they touched them. Soldiers fell continuously during the shooting from both sides. The enemy's offensive momentum was very strong, and the artillery position was precarious.

  There were two 60 light guns on each side of the artillery position. The artillery commander immediately ordered a three-minute rapid firing upon seeing this, smashing all the artillery shells on the position towards the indigenous troops in the distance, and then quickly dismantled the artillery and retreated.

  In a moment

  The white gunner attacked the artillery position. What he saw was shell shells and several deep pits all over the floor, and the artillery was missing.

  This puzzled the commander of the Royal Netherlands Army Company. Is it a mysterious Eastern magic?

  According to common sense

  The artillery is heavy and heavy, weighing thousands of pounds. It is difficult to move when erected in a hilly position. How could it be missing?

  Well, now is not the right time to pursue this issue.

Colonel Henry saw that the two sides of the fort were successfully removed, and immediately ordered the indigenous cannon fodder troops to attack the front position at any cost. The two sides fought fiercely for about dozens of minutes. A group of more than 300 defenders killed and injured more than 80 people. After injuring the enemy, he took the initiative to retreat. Give up this frontier position.

  At this time, the sky is already bright

  Check the battle situation;

  Col. Henry brought about a thousand losses to an army of 6000 troops from Symuda. Among them, the indigenous servants lost more than 930 people, and the white soldiers lost dozens of them. The result of the battle was only to conquer a wooden fort defense line that was half of the people high.

  Behind this line of defense more than 100 meters, there is a solid civil fortress two meters high, which made him feel a headache.

   "Push the artillery up, and blast me this **** wooden castle." Colonel Henry gave a loud command with an iron face. He had heard the intensive gunshots coming from the wooden castle. This was an attack by the breakout troops.

  Now it is necessary for both parties to work together to break this huge obstacle lying in the middle of the road, and respond to the white soldiers in the encirclement to break through.

  Not long after

The three German-made 95mm artillery hauled by ox carts were deployed in place, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed directly at the Muzhai in the middle of the road, and quickly fired and bombarded.

  The Dutch artillery position was about 1.5 kilometers away from the Muzhai Fortress. After three rounds of test firing, one shell had fallen and exploded near the Muzhai Fortress. The distance was only more than 10 meters.

  This is already the standard for near-missing bullets. Using this as a benchmark for fire coverage, it will soon be able to destroy the defender’s civil fortress and open an escape route.

  The Dutch artillery test fire immediately drew a group of precise counterattacks. After quickly calculating the position of the enemy's artillery, two 60mm light artillery batteries totaling 8 artillery roared together.

The   60mm artillery fired at a rate of 18 rounds per minute and fired a three-minute rush. More than 430 rounds were poured out for artillery coverage in a short time, and the Dutch artillery formations were all over a thousand meters round into a sea of ​​flames.

The large-area artillery coverage not only caused the bombing of Dutch artillery shells, all three 95mm German-made artillery pieces were destroyed, and more than 240 people, including artillery and defensive troops, were killed and wounded. They were all elites. White soldier of the Royal Dutch Army.

  See it all

  Colon Henry could hardly believe his eyes, his heart trembled, and he waved his hand viciously; "Oh, oh, these **** pigs, attack... Kill me all these nasty heretics."

  The aboriginal troops all over the mountains and plains stormed up from the front and from both sides. For a time, fierce gunfire broke out and turned against the sky, creating great pressure on the defending regiment with all its strength.

  A group of guarded civil fortresses withstood the enemy from their stomachs and backs. They persisted in the **** battle, and the heroic soldiers were shot down continuously, and blood stained the wooden village that lay across the road.

  After a while

  Shooting bullets flying in the air, sawdust flying in the city walled, outflanked Dutch soldiers have occupied the hilly areas on both sides of the road, a group of officers and soldiers still marched forward and succeeded in stubborn battles, firmly defensive positions will not retreat.

  There is no order to retreat from the peak, a group of brave officers and soldiers are pierced here like nails, piercing the heart of the enemy, using blood to compose loyalty and bravery, this is the demeanor of soldiers stained with blood.
