Fengxian Jiangshan

The morning sun shone on the land of Aventai, and the people in and out of the city drove small boats loaded with various vegetables and fruits to the market along the river for sale.

On the river bank, soldiers walked by from time to time. Since the founding of Nanhua, the situation in Aventhai has become more and more tense. If it weren't for the Dutch who also needed to purchase daily necessities, they would even stop the market.

"Charles, what do you think of that?"

Following the direction of his companion's fingers, Charles saw a young woman sitting on a small boat, dressed in a floral dress. Although her face was dark, she was very delicate, and she was constantly bargaining with others.

Several Dutch soldiers on patrol also saw it, and the corner of the squad leader Charles' mouth rose slightly: "Bauer, I don't like these black-skinned natives. Being with them is like being with monkeys."

"Haha, Charles, according to Mr. Darwin's theory, we also came from monkeys. This little sister is not bad. If you are not interested, she will be ours."

"Who said there is no interest anymore, I just said that it's time for us to show our animal side!"

A few Dutch soldiers walked up to the girl's boat, and Bauer took the lead to jump on the boat. The natives who were bargaining saw the Dutch and ran away in fright.

The girl screamed loudly when she saw someone suddenly boarding her boat.

"Scream hard, baby, you won't have the strength to scream after a while!" Ball smiled triumphantly, and grabbed the little girl's wrist.

Charles and the others are still on the shore, and they can't wait any longer: "Bauer, you are so weak, bring people to the shore quickly, and don't let them enjoy it to themselves."

These Dutch soldiers rob women in broad daylight.The natives around didn't show any expressions, they were used to it.And they know very well that the war is not far away, and they have to rely on these soldiers to resist the Chinese army, and no one will care about it.

They quickly returned to normal. The girl cried heart-piercingly, wrestled vigorously, and the Dutch laughed wildly triumphantly, as if no one could hear them, and they continued to conduct transactions.But today's bazaar ends earlier than usual.

Just as these people were driving the boats and gradually leaving, suddenly several speedboats appeared far above the river. These speedboats rushed over like arrows leaving the string.

The Dutch set up posts along the coast.When they saw a few ships approaching at a speed beyond normal, they immediately felt something was wrong.Immediately prepare to fight back.

But it was too late for them to act.Machine guns were mounted on the front of these ships. After the bullets swept over, the three sentinels were killed immediately, and their bodies lay straight by the river.

The sound of gunfire broke Yaventai's tranquility, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the periphery rushed over, and the three speedboats had already formed a zigzag shape.Three machine guns were aimed at the Dutch rushing towards them, and the bullets hit like a torrential rain, and the Dutch were immediately swept away.

"Enemy attack!"

Sirens blared throughout Avente, and the Dutch mobilized immediately.The soldiers rushed into the fortifications in a panic.Unlike domestic cities, Yaventai is just a group of dense settlements and a collection of some handicraft workshops.In order to cope with possible battles, the Dutch mobilized a large number of natives and built three circular fortifications to surround Yaventai.

At this time, a large number of soldiers appeared on the outskirts of Yaventai, and they surrounded the city in the rainforest.

This time it was Zhang Honggang's troops who were tasked with attacking Yawentai. He concentrated twelve artillery pieces, aimed at Yawentai's outer fortifications, and launched a fierce bombardment.The shell fell on the head of the Dutchman, and the god of death was harvesting life. As soon as the shell went down, several, even a dozen Dutchmen were blown to pieces.

Of course, the Dutch artillery also fought back. Their equipment is not bad, basically all German goods, and the two sides also fought vigorously.However, Zhang Honggang has not put all his strength into it. These colonial troops may not be badly equipped, but their fighting will is nothing at all.

Compared with the Chinese elite who have come out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they are not at the same level at all.It would be no fun if the Dutch surrendered with too much force, so Zhang Honggang tried his best to control the rhythm of the war.

Nanhua's soldiers gradually formed a solid encirclement, and then used small groups of troops to continuously carry out short and powerful raids to clear the Dutch outlying positions.When necessary, some native cannon fodder will be organized to attack the Dutch and consume their firepower.

The Dutch didn't notice much. They just noticed that the enemy was falling in pieces, so they all strengthened their determination to fight. As long as they persisted, there might be hope of victory. Of course, the premise was that there were enough reinforcements.

As soon as the battle began, the defenders of Alventai immediately asked Machen for help, and Machen's Dutch garrison immediately mobilized after receiving the news.

The commander-in-chief of the Dutch army, Lieutenant General Van Looner, just came to the Far East from Europe. As a proud white man, Van Looner looked down on the natives of the Far East and the Chinese from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, many small countries in the world seem to live in a paradise. Take China as an example. People still turn a blind eye and don't hear it, just like the Far East and Africa, as long as their army walks through, the problem can be completely solved.

When Van Loon left the Netherlands, he also boasted to all the Dutch that he would use resolute and decisive means to completely solve the Far East issue. No guerrilla would be an opponent of the Dutch army.

It was precisely because of this blind self-confidence that Fan Luner immediately became furious after receiving the telegram for help.

"Damn Chinese people! You yellow-skinned monkeys are not worthy of touching the land of Her Majesty Queen Yawentai. I will teach you a lesson!"

Van Loon hurriedly summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures together. Although the others were not as fanatical as this commander, everyone knew that Yaventai must not be lost, otherwise the Dutch would lose all control of the interior of Borneo. out of control.This is where the rescue must come.

After some discussion, Fan Luner decisively ordered assistance.According to his vision, the Dutch reinforcements were divided into two parts, among which he personally led [-] main forces to the north to assist Yaventai.

The other route was along the Barito River, directly bypassing the rear of Yaventai, attacking from the north and the south, and jointly destroying Nanhua's army.For this plan, Fan Luner is quite proud, in his opinion, it is absolutely foolproof.

And in order to ensure the supply of materials, he recruited a large number of ships.They also used [-] native husbands. Xu Shuzheng and the others are already quite ruthless in dealing with the natives, but they are still a lot worse than the Dutch.These old-fashioned colonists basically treated the aborigines as livestock.And it's the kind of livestock that doesn't need to pay for fodder.

The Dutch army quickly went north, relying on the rapid consumption of the natives.Their marching speed is quite amazing.After three days of rapid march, they were only twenty kilometers from Yaventai.

In the past few days, Yawentai sent telegrams for help one after another. The attacks of the South China Army became more and more fierce, and they were already in danger.

"Gentlemen, Barabai is ahead, as long as you take this place. The road to Yaventai will be opened, let us work hard, and teach those humble Chinese people a lesson, let them know who is the master here. We All will be the most successful conquerors in Dutch history!"

After getting the order, the Dutch army quickly advanced towards Barabai, but they didn't know that a big net had already been launched.

"Hurry up, the ones behind will follow!"

The Dutch officer kept yelling, and suddenly there was a bang at the foot of the soldier walking in the front, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke flashed by. Half of the soldier's leg had been blown off, and the bones were exposed, and the scream was terrified. surrounding Dutch.

"Get him up quickly."

Two soldiers rushed over, trying to pull the wounded over, but suddenly the feet of one soldier exploded, and the soles of his feet were blown off, and the other soldier ran away in embarrassment.

Now the Dutch finally wake up, minefields!

Damn it!The Dutch commander couldn't help scolding, and the other soldiers panicked when they saw their miserable comrades. At this moment, several bullets were suddenly fired in the rainforest not far away, and the Dutch soldiers fell to the ground.

The precise bullet holes on the forehead told these Dutchmen that the opponent was a real elite, and they were all perfect sharpshooters.Now some people are finally scared. They either shoot indiscriminately towards the rainforest, or flee in a panic. As a result, it is this kind of panic that brings more trouble. Someone stepped on the landmine, and the wounded became more and more serious. Many, the pace of the Dutch forward was blocked at once.

When Fan Longer got the report from his subordinates, he was also shocked. He didn't expect that there would be landmines blocking the way.The Netherlands maintained their neutrality during the First World War, and they were not tempered by the flames of war. They didn't have any pain in the face of refurbished weapons. The Dutch army even lacked specialized mine-sweeping troops. How could they eliminate the threat of these mines? Woolen cloth!

After much deliberation, Fan Longer's eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly said: "Go and find those natives, let them walk in the front!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, you can't do this!" The staff officer said in a horrified voice: "This is very humane, and we will be condemned!"

"No, victors are never condemned, and I can tell you that humanitarianism is only for people, not for those two-legged beasts whose only role now is to find the quickest way for us .”

The aborigines were expelled, rushed to the forefront, and became mine-sweeping dogs of the Dutch army. After rushing into the minefields, there were constant explosions. Some even fainted from the pain.

The Dutch followed them with machine guns, and as long as they dared to take a step back, they would immediately shoot them with machine guns.After sacrificing hundreds of natives, the Dutch finally found a safe passage, and they rushed towards Barabai on the blood-red road.

It was Li Xun's troops who were in charge of guarding Balabai. According to the plan, he led 2000 people to guard Balabai, buying time for Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's troops to encircle the main force of the Dutch.

After seeing the Dutch relying on the natives and breaking through the barrier of the landmines, Li Xun gritted his teeth secretly. The real fun had just begun.

Just after the Dutch charged towards them, suddenly flames rose from the two trenches in front of the position, and black smoke billowed.There is no shortage of oil in Borneo. Li Xun poured these black liquids into the trenches in advance, and now they are ignited to form a natural barrier.

The Dutch soldiers were blocked by the fire wall, but the machine guns and mortars here fired together, knocking the Dutch on their backs, and killing most of the soldiers in the front company in an instant.After Fan Longer got the report, he was completely mad because the other party had so many tricks.

He also gritted his teeth and brought out his ultimate move again. He gathered [-] native cannon fodder and rushed to the forefront. The battle completely turned into a contest of flesh and steel.These natives are also a little pitiful. Nanhua uses them as cannon fodder, especially the Dutch. It is not a pity to use them.

The battle became more and more fierce. The bodies of the dead and injured natives piled up into mountains, and the ground was stained red with blood. The battle between the two sides had been going on for about a day.

Under the setting sun, the two sides were already killing each other. After the Dutch consumed a large amount of native cannon fodder, they concentrated their firepower to bombard the Nanhua position. The soldiers suffered more and more casualties, and the pressure on Li Xun's shoulders was also increasing. The terrible thing is that their ammunition is almost exhausted, and every bullet must be used with care.

The soldiers wiped their bayonets during the interval of fighting, and they were already preparing for hand-to-hand combat.On the other side, Fan Longer also tried his best to rush into Nanhua's defense line.He had already received news that more than one-third of the defenders inside Yaventai had been killed or injured.He is on the verge of collapse at any time, and if he doesn't get help, he might not be able to survive.

A bloody battle is going on here. A troop is moving quickly through the rainforest. These soldiers are not tall, but they are exceptionally flexible in the forest. In order to ensure the marching speed, they have discarded all unnecessary equipment and only carry water bottles. Dry food and weapons.It was Li Zongren who led this army. According to the plan, he would lead the army to detour to the back of the Dutch and launch a fatal blow.

After trekking through the rainforest for more than two days, everyone was drenched in mud and water, exhausted to the extreme, and more than [-] unlucky ones were bitten by poisonous snakes.Marching in the rainforest was definitely a torture, but fortunately they finally walked out of the rainforest as scheduled.

"Master, Lantao is in front of us. As long as we take this place, the Dutch won't be able to return to Machen!" The scout reported excitedly.

When Li Zongren heard the news, he didn't care about being tired immediately, and said loudly: "Brothers, cheer up, go to Lantao, and surround and annihilate the Dutch!" (To be continued...)
