Fengxian Jiangshan

Colonel Colin is the commander of the security of Samarinda. He is already the third commander to be replaced within a year. The previous two commanders were killed in the battle against the guerrillas.

In recent years, the guerrillas have become more and more cunning, and their equipment has become more and more advanced. The advantages of the Dutch colonial army have also plummeted, and not only the Chinese, but also the natives have joined them, which makes the Dutch exhausted.

Since Colin took office, he has given up killing the guerrillas and instead guarded Samarinda. As long as this estuary city is kept, the Dutch colonial order will not collapse.

But the sky failed, and when he kept praying for God's blessing, the war finally fell on his head. After entering July, Borneo became more and more sultry, almost making people breathless.

On the outskirts of Samarinda, scouts in twos and threes began to appear. Gradually, more and more militiamen gathered, and the number increased. These militiamen were digging fortifications about five kilometers away from the city. Build camps, one camp next to another, forming a crescent-shaped encirclement, blocking Samarinda.

By July 7th, except for the sea road, all traffic lines on Samarinda Road had been cut off.Facing the astonishing number of militiamen, Colin was terrified to the extreme. He sent soldiers to attack these militiamen several times, but they were all beaten back.

Among those dark Indonesian monkeys, there are a large number of fighters with accurate marksmanship and skilled tactics, far more powerful than the Dutch. Whenever the Dutch are about to break through the line of defense, they will be hit head-on.In three counterattacks, Colin lost a total of more than 200 people.And his total strength is only 1200 men

At this time, Colin could only desperately ask for assistance from the colonial authorities. At the same time, he tried his best to strengthen the fortifications of the city, trying to be a turtle and protect himself with a hard shell.

"Commander, according to the investigation. There are 1200 Dutch troops in the city, and there are also about 2000 indigenous military police, but the combat effectiveness of these people is almost zero. Samarinda is located in the delta of the river mouth, and it is dangerous for us. , there are only two difficulties to solve.”[

After several years of experience, Li Xun has grown rapidly.Having become an excellent commander, he is talking in front of the sand table.

"The first difficulty is the sea route. We can't block the sea. This has caused the Dutch defenders to receive continuous assistance with arms and materials, and even warships to assist them in fighting. The second problem is that Samarinda has a large number of Artillery, at least 50 or more."

Xu Shuzheng frowned when he heard it: "They only have more than 1000 people. How can they be equipped with so many artillery?"

"Commander, most of these artillery pieces are decades old. Many of them are front-loading guns and bronze guns. Although the range is limited, it is still enough to deal with infantry."

As former sea coachmen, the Dutch still have a bit of a foundation. In order to defend Samarinda, the Dutch built a large number of forts and equipped dozens of large-caliber old-fashioned bronze cannons, including 24 20-pound cannons. . Eight 32-pound guns, in addition to a small number of modern artillery.

When Xu Shuzheng heard this, he also frowned slightly. If he had powerful artillery, he wouldn't care about this, but the problem was that they didn't have enough weapons to attack the fortifications.

The supplies that submarines can send over are limited, and large-caliber artillery cannot be brought over at all. The most powerful equipment among the guerrillas is the 120mm mortar.This is a model developed by Fengtian Arsenal in 1923, with a maximum range of 5300 meters, a weight of only 180 kilograms, and a rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute.Has quite outstanding lethality, and maneuverability.

Since this kind of mortar came into the hands of the guerrillas, it has exerted amazing power. As long as the general Dutch stronghold is hit by a single shot, it will be completely useless, and it is very popular among soldiers.

However, it was still too difficult to attack with mortars. Xu Shuzheng turned around on the ground a few times, and gradually formed a crazy idea in his mind: "Compassion does not command soldiers, it seems that the only way is to use crowd tactics!"

After Xu Shuzheng thought of this, he immediately issued an order decisively to gather all the indigenous militiamen.During these years, the guerrillas also absorbed some indigenous people in the early stage.But everyone soon discovered the problem. The native soldiers were so stupid that no matter how they trained, they had no effect.

Moreover, these guys are often the first to collapse when encountering battles, but they rush to the forefront when they grab the prize. Once they are arrested, it will be even more troublesome. They will say almost anything they have.

After getting acquainted with the greedy, cowardly, and arrogant virtues of the aboriginals, Xu Shuzheng decisively put them all into the logistics team and never gave them the chance to go to the front line.

But this time was different from the past, Xu Shuzheng gathered a large number of indigenous militiamen, and prepared the best opium and tobacco in front of them.

"Listen, all of you. Samarinda is the largest city in East Borneo. There is a lot of wealth and a lot of women in it. Just rush in. These things are all yours. We don't want a cent. If you don't dare to charge, you will What will happen, you all know clearly, whether you want to fight like a hero, or want to suffer terrible consequences, you can choose for yourself."

After hearing Xu Shuzheng's words, these aboriginals all had weak legs, but they had experienced the power of these Chinese people, and when they got together, they came up with endless tricks, and they could not survive or die. [

Let's be honest and obedient, besides, there are opium, money, and more likely women, all of which are fatally attractive to them, and these people are full of opium.

The soldiers drove these guys away and rushed towards Samarinda.With the stimulation of opium, the ferocity and madness in the bones of these aborigines were all aroused, and they screamed and rushed towards the city.

They held muskets in their hands and waved big blades, like monkeys, and moved extremely quickly. Thousands of people rushed up like a tide.

After the Dutch got the report, they also stared their eyes round. Colin personally went to the front line to command. Three forts and dozens of cannons were all aimed at these guys. The cannons exploded in their ranks. It was blown to pieces, and fragments of limbs were scattered all over the ground.

oh oh...

There was a lot of strange noises on the battlefield. This was a one-sided massacre. In less than an hour, the thousand or so natives were slaughtered. They didn't even rush to within 100 meters before they were all smashed into pieces by the Dutch gunfire. .

The soft delta terrain was bombarded with huge deep pits. Each deep pit quickly collected a lot of blood and even human body parts floating on it, looking like a slaughterhouse. Bloody and terrifying.

Xu Shuzheng didn't care about these at all. After he arranged the attack, he returned to the headquarters and played chess with Zhang Honggang.

"General! You lost another game."

Zhang Honggang also looked ashamed: "Commander, your chess skills are as good as a god, so don't make fun of us, you will lose your temper if you lose."

"Chess can be learned, the key is whether you put your heart into it, just like Li Xun, now you can deal with me for a while."

While talking, Li Xun suddenly ran over: "Commander, those natives are all exhausted."

Xu Shuzheng raised his brows: "I see, they are really a bunch of idiots. I thought they could last a while longer. Then continue to organize other natives and attack the Dutch positions. If there are not enough people, they will be arrested from the surrounding area. When will they wait?" , the firepower of the Dutch has weakened, and the regular troops have shown their skills again."

"Commander, I have no objection to using the natives to fight a war of attrition, but I am worried that if the Dutch can get support from the sea, even if tens of thousands of people die, they may not be able to take it down."

Xu Shuzheng waved his hand: "Don't worry, I guess someone has helped us seal the port."

"You mean the domestic shot?" Li Xun suddenly showed joy in front of his eyes.

They can thrive in Nanyang thanks to domestic support. If China can step up its efforts, this will be great news.

"Go ahead and do it boldly. In short, the good days of the Dutch are coming to an end."

"understand!"

Li Xun went down excitedly and continued to organize the attack. For five consecutive days, thousands of native militiamen rushed towards the Dutch position every day.

The Dutch also hated these plentiful natives to the extreme, and they shot desperately to kill them all.In front of the position, piles of corpses were piled up. Because the weather was too hot, these corpses would rot and deteriorate in a day or so, and maggots would grow on the corpses in about two or three days.

White, fleshy bugs crawled everywhere, puddles, soil bumps, rotting corpses exposed mottled bones, and a thick stench, making people feel a little bit close to them. Nausea.

With the precipitation, these dirty things will flow along the river to Samarinda. This harbor city, within a few days, was shrouded in the smell of corpses and turned into a city of hell.

The afterimages of the battlefield remind people of the flesh and blood mills in Western Europe. It was the same at that time, people were tortured into numb beasts, and the terrible scene was staged again.

Faced with this situation, Colin was already mad with anger. He cursed every day, those shameful Chinese who dare not fight with them, actually used such a shameful method, it is simply abhorrent!

In addition to scolding the Chinese, he is also scolding those bureaucrats. Since Samarinda was besieged, it is in urgent need of various supplies, especially "medicine". It can no longer be maintained.

"Mr. Colonel, good news. Three munitions ships have arrived from Batavia. They will sail into the port tomorrow morning, and they will also send a battalion of soldiers."

Hearing the news, Colin finally showed a smile on his face: "Great, damn Chinese, you will be punished by God!"

Just when the Dutch were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, the offensive against Samarinda was at its most critical. After a few days of consumption, the Dutch were exhausted, and Xu Shuzheng had gathered 1200 elite fighters to do a good job. preparation.
