1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Although Liang Yao has already occupied Pontianak, the current Pontianak is just an isolated city.

The influence of Lanfang Company, which is pro-Dutch in the north, and the influence of the Dutch and Indian authorities in South Borneo, are still Liang Yao's confidantes.

As for his partners, the Chinese resistance company headed by Dagang Company, their base camp is currently in Luyi, Mont Ladu, which is located in Sanfa.

Between Luyi and Pontianak is Dongwanlu controlled by Lanfang Company.

"Now we have two options, one is to march south, capture Kentawangan, and then enter South Borneo to drive the forces of the Dutch and Indian authorities out of Borneo Island.

The second is to march northward, capture Dongwanlu, and open up our connection with the Chinese resistance companies headed by Dagang Company. "

After returning to the residence, which was the residence of Andersen, the former commander of the Dutch-Indian Army stationed in Pontianak, Elvis pointed to the crude map and said to Liang Yao.

Going south or going north is a matter for Liang Yao to make a choice right now.

In this expedition to West Borneo, his biggest enemy was the army of the Dutch and Indian authorities.

If all the troops of the Dutch and Indian authorities can be driven into the sea, the end of the war will be settled.

It's just that he now has the ability to drive the Royal Dutch East India Army into the sea?
Liang Yao thought about this question seriously.

Unlike the previous expedition to Japan, when he set off on the expedition to Japan, he already knew that this was a war that must be won.

Among the factors are the understanding of historical trends and confidence in one's own strength.

Facing the Dutchman now, Liang Yao is also blind. Whether he can win or not, he has no idea.

He has confidence in his army, but not much confidence in his navy.

If you want to attack Kandawangan, attacking Kandawangan from land is not the best choice.

To attack Kandawangan from land, Liang Yao's army needs to pass through the tropical rainforest in the south.

In this era, the development level of Borneo Island was very low, and several major cities emerged, and what caught the eye was the endless virgin jungle.

Marching south from the primeval jungle, the first thing Liang Yao had to face was a large number of non-combat attrition.

Leaving aside whether Kandawangan could be won in the end, even if it was won, Liang Yao might not be able to accept the price paid.

Marching in the tropical rainforest is not only a great test for the combat troops, but also a great test for his logistical capabilities.

More importantly, the foundation of the Chinese in Kentawongan, and even the entire island of South Borneo, is very weak.

Even if it is won at a huge price, whether effective rule can be established is a big question.

But if you go north and attack Dongwanlu, the situation will be different.

Although heading north, you have to go through tropical jungles.

But West Borneo is the stronghold of Chinese on Borneo Island.

After more than [-] years of development by the Chinese, the traffic conditions here are better than those in South Borneo.

Liu Shanbang, Ye Tenghui and others have all worked in Lanfang Company, and they are relatively familiar with the geographical conditions around here, so they can guide him.

Moreover, compared with the Royal Dutch East India Army, the Lanfang Company's armed equipment and combat effectiveness are weaker.

These soldiers who fought for the interests of Lanfang Company's top management and received poor treatment would not be too strong in combat.

More importantly, the residents of the settlements of Dongwanlu and Luyi are all Chinese.

By taking these places, Liang Yao can establish an effective rule.

First change and then south, after integrating the Chinese on the island of West Borneo, then concentrate on dealing with the Dutch forces in South Borneo.

It would also be a good choice to force the Dutch and Indian authorities to sit at the negotiating table and negotiate.

"If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside, and go north to take Dongwanlu first!" Liang Yao said, pointing to Dongwanlu, which is prominently marked on the map.

"Which army is in charge of this military operation?" Elvis' eyes lit up, and he looked at Liang Yao anxiously.

His expression had already given him away, Elvis must have hoped that the Cactus Regiment, the Arizona Infantry Regiment, would be the main attacker.

Elvis is the military commander of the Arizona Infantry Regiment, so he naturally hopes that his troops can show their hand in this war.

Although the Arizona Infantry does not lack actual combat experience, the California Infantry has also participated in the wars that the Arizona Infantry participated in.

Moreover, in these wars, the California Infantry Regiment was the protagonist, undertaking the main combat tasks.

This time the Arizona Infantry Regiment is fully staffed and fully organized, fully capable of independently undertaking combat missions.

"The Arizona Infantry Regiment is in charge of this military operation." Liang Yao complied with Elvis' wishes and gave Elvis a chance to show off.

"Yes!" Elvis happily said a military salute to Liang Yao, and said excitedly.

"The Umbrella company still has more than [-] armed forces. These are veterans. I will also assign them to you."

Liang Yao looked at the umbrella flag and the California bear flag fluttering in the wind in front of the mansion and said.

The military operation was launched without the formal approval of Congress and was launched under the name of Umbrella Corporation.

Therefore, it is not convenient for Liang Yao to hang the Stars and Stripes. Of course, he does not really want to hang the Stars and Stripes.

"General, can you give me another artillery battery?" Elvis took the opportunity to ask.

"Push your nose and face, right? I brought two artillery companies out this time." Liang Yao gave Elvis a white look.

He had assigned an artillery battery to Kruger, and now there was only one battery left with him.

If all were given to Elvis, the troops guarding Pontianak would face the embarrassing situation where artillery was available.

However, considering that the Dutch-Indian army counterattacked Pontianak from land, the probability of killing the carbine is very small.

Elvis is fighting a tough battle this time, so it is necessary to transfer some artillery to Elvis.

After weighing it, Liang Yao decided to allocate some artillery to Elvis: "Not a company, only two platoons at most."

"Thank you, General! I will definitely take Pontianak, and I will never let you down!" Elvis beamed with joy.

"This is the first time that the Arizona Infantry Regiment has independently participated in a military operation. You must strictly enforce military discipline, understand?" Liang Yao finally explained to Elvis.

Liang Yao wanted to stay behind the town of Pontianak, so he couldn't personally lead the army to attack Dongwanlu this time.

After Liang Yao took down Dongya Wanlu, he wanted to establish a stable rule in Dongya Wanlu, not just take Dongya Wanlu.

He didn't want to cause trouble for the follow-up integration work because of the military discipline of the troops.

"This subordinate understands! Please rest assured, General." Elvis assured Liang Yao, patted his chest.

The treatment of the Western Brigade is notoriously good. Looking at the entire American Army, I am afraid that there is no army that can match the treatment of the Western Brigade.

The treatment of the Western Brigade is there, and Elvis is confident that he can restrain the soldiers who go out.
