Chapter 196 Batavia (4)
The indigenous soldiers escaped from the town from the main street, so after leaving the town, the indigenous soldiers also escaped along the avenue. First, they came along this avenue, and naturally returned on the same route when they escaped. Second, the avenue was flat and easy to walk, and there were paddy fields on both sides of the road, so they really couldn't walk. However, the avenue was not very spacious, so the indigenous soldiers also stretched out a length of 2,300 meters. Fortunately, the People's Army did not pursue it behind, and the indigenous soldiers were not in a hurry. Many people were holding their arms and talking and laughing.
After running about 2 kilometers, the paddy fields reached the end. Both sides of the road ahead were covered with dense forests. At this moment, only the sound of "boom boom boom boom boom" was heard, and the explosion exploded among the indigenous soldiers, blowing several indigenous soldiers away.
Immediately afterwards, dense gunfire sounded in the dense forests on both sides of the avenue. If the bullets were as strong as wind and rain, they would shoot at the indigenous soldiers, and immediately shot a large area of the indigenous soldiers. Almost none of the indigenous people in the front rows were spared, and all fell to the ground, either dead or injured.
When the indigenous soldiers behind saw it, they dared to stay on the avenue, and fled down the avenue and hid in the paddy fields on both sides of the avenue. However, the People's Army continued to shoot, with all kinds of rifles, machine guns, and mortars fully fired, and shells fell into the paddy fields and exploded, hitting several mud and water columns. Various bullets flew ruthlessly in the air, harvesting the lives of the indigenous soldiers.
In fact, the People's Army's firepower was not long. In less than two minutes, countless native soldiers fell to the ground. The dead natives fell into the paddy fields and on the avenue. The blood left behind dyed the paddy fields and the earth red. The injured soldiers rolled in pain in the mud and water, screaming and wailing. The People's Army immediately launched an attack on the remaining natives.
In fact, there was only one platoon of the People's Army, with more than 40 people, and the number of indigenous people was far above the People's Army. However, when they were driven out of the town, they were completely out of power. After being blocked by the People's Army, they were even more scared. They dared to fight with the People's Army. They were caught up with the People's Army, but were shot dead, or stabbed to death by the people. Some indigenous soldiers immediately knelt down and surrendered after being chased.
The entire blockade was not long, and it ended in less than 30 minutes. The indigenous soldiers who escaped from the town were beaten to death, even more than those who were beaten to death in the town. Many people surrendered.
At this time, the town had entered the stage of clearing the battlefield. The People's Army counted the killed indigenous soldiers, took in the injured people, and at the same time cleared out the remaining indigenous people. Because some indigenous people did not escape from the town, they hid in the town, of course they had to find them one by one. Therefore, the People's Army searched from house to house, and most of the residents in the town knew that they were rescuing themselves and were all assigned to each other. Many people gave the People's Army guidance to the People's Army to hide the hiding place. As a result, the People's Army had found more than 20 indigenous people in the town, of which only three of them resisted and were shot dead by the People's Army, while the rest of the indigenous people could only raise their hands to surrender.
At this moment, a resident reported to Qian Guoyu that he had seen several soldiers hiding in a church. When Qian Guoyu heard this, he immediately rushed to the church with a platoon of soldiers led by the residents. Although the church is not large in size, it covers an area of more than 200 square meters and is two stories high. However, the doors and windows are closed, and there is a vague figure inside. Qian Guoyu immediately ordered the soldiers to block the front, back and doors and windows of the church, and then ordered a soldier to come forward and knock on the door.
After knocking twice, the church door opened and a young woman came out from inside, wearing a dark robe, black hair, slightly curly, and had a pretty nice face, but her eyes were deep and concave and her nose bridge was high, looking like a mixed Chinese and Western race, and she looked only in her early 20s.
In fact, the soldiers of the People's Army did not expect anyone to open the door. They just thought that they would knock on it and then hit the door after a few knocks, but they did not expect that the door would open, and the one who came out was a young girl. The military discipline of the People's Army was extremely strict, and it was in the relationship between men and women. Therefore, when it came to be a young girl, they couldn't help but be stunned and subconsciously took a step back.
And the young girl spoke and said, "Who are you? What are you doing?" She said it in Chinese. Although her tone was very fluent, her accent was a little stiff, and she was obviously not a real Chinese.
Qian Guoyu took a step forward and said, "We are from the People's Army of China. Because there was an anti-Chinese incident in Java, we rushed to protect our expatriates. I heard that the indigenous people plundered Dagon Town. We came to help the Chinese here. We had just repelled the indigenous people, but someone saw several indigenous people hiding in the church, so we came to search."
The young girl shook her head and said, "There are no natives in our church, so you don't need to search."
Qian Guoyu saw that she was unstable when she spoke, and her face looked quite unstable. Her hand holding the door trembled slightly. She knew that there must be something strange in the church, and she felt secretly alert and said, "Since there is no native, it doesn't matter if we go to the church to see it." Without waiting for her to react, she pushed the door hard with one hand. The young woman had Qian Guoyu's strength, and Qian Guoyu immediately pushed the door open and entered the church. The other soldiers also entered one after another. Although the young girl wanted to stop it, she could stop it there.
The soldiers were all trained for a long time. After entering the church, they immediately stood or squatted, raised their guns to guard Qian Guoyu, and protected Qian Guoyu. When Qian Guoyu looked around, he saw that the hall of the church was about 7,80 square meters, but it was empty and there was no one. He even concluded that there was something wrong with the church, because the staff had all gone there, so it was hard to say that the church had collusion with the indigenous people, so he deliberately hid the indigenous people.
The young girl's expression was panicked at first, but she remained calm and said, "I'll tell you, there are no natives."
Qian Guoyu smiled and said, "Why are you the only one in such a big church? All the others have gone there, at least the priest should come out and show his face."
The young girl was speechless and couldn't answer. Qian Guoyu said again: "What's going on? How many natives are hiding in the church and hiding there? Do you still honestly explain it? Otherwise, we will start searching."
But before the young girl could speak, a sound came from behind the wall on the left. Qian Guoyu and the soldiers were immediately attracted, and there was a double-open door on the wall, which was obviously a room. The two soldiers immediately raised their rifles and pointed them at the door.
Qian Guoyu said: "Where is this room?"
The young girl's face was pale and she said, "No...No..." She rushed to Qian Guoyu suddenly, but was stopped by two soldiers. Qian Guoyu also determined that there must be something wrong with the room, so she signaled to the two soldiers.
The two soldiers immediately stepped forward, kicked the door hard, and kicked the door open. Several soldiers immediately raised their guns toward the door, but no one came out.
At this time, the young girl spoke again and said in a trembling voice: "Don't shoot, please, don't shoot, don't hurt the children anymore, don't hurt the children."
Qian Guoyu frowned slightly and said, "Get in."
Two soldiers immediately entered the room with rifles, and Qian Guoyu also went in. The room was about 40 square meters, with tables and chairs falling from place to place. In a corner of the room, there were 3,4 adults and more than 20 children. There were 4 natives, one with a musket, the other three with sharp swords, and they were placed on the necks of several children, but their eyes were staring at Qian Guoyu.
At this time, the young girl also squeezed into the room and said to Qian Guoyu: "Sir, please, don't let them hurt the children." Then she hurriedly said a lot to the natives, all of which were speaking Javanese, so Qian Guoyu couldn't understand it, but she probably saved the natives and did not hurt these children.
Now Qian Guoyu has basically understood the whole thing. It is not that the church protects the indigenous people, but that the indigenous people hostage the children of the church. This young girl also had to help the indigenous people conceal their words because of the safety of the children. Therefore, she also felt a little respect for the young girl. After thinking for a while, she said to the young girl: "Tell them not to hurt these children, I can let them leave here. If a child is injured, they will not even think about living."
The young girl was overjoyed and hurriedly said to the natives again. After hearing this, her face eased greatly. After all, she saw a way out, so the natives holding muskets immediately said a few more words. The young girl said, "He said he would let you all go out and withdraw all the soldiers."
Qian Guoyu nodded and said, "Okay, I promise them." He said to his soldiers, "Let's go." He led all the soldiers out of the church.
Not long after, an indigenous person came out of the church. He saw that there were indeed no soldiers from the People's Army outside. Only Qian Guoyu and two guards were left empty-handed and did not hold guns. He was not overjoyed. He hurriedly shouted to the church twice. After a while, he saw three other indigenous persons holding a child and coming out of the church. Four people came to carve the streets and looked around. Sure enough, they did not find the soldiers of the People's Army and said a few more words to Qian Guoyu.
The young girl stood at the gate of the church and said, "He told you to stand there and not move. They would let the children go outside the town, otherwise they would kill these children."
Qian Guoyu said: "Okay, let them go. We promise not to chase them. Let them keep their promises and release them after they leave the town."
