Chapter 211 The Battle of Java (1)

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!" A series of dense wing-flapping sounds came, mixed with countless "chirping" birds, breaking the silence in the dense forest.

Jiang Haidong looked up and saw a large group of birds leaping into the forest through the shadow of the leaves. He said to the guard beside him: "The birds were alarmed, someone must have come over, have the outpost come back."

The guard was about to answer, but he saw a soldier rushing back along the forest road. He saw Jiang Haidong and said, "Company Commander, the enemy has come by."

Jiang Haidong nodded and said, "Notify all troops to prepare for battle." He paused and said, "Tell the guards to tell them not to move."

The Dutch colonial government was actively preparing for war, and the People's Army was not idle either. Moreover, although the People's Army had established fortifications outside the farm, it did not intend to passively wait for the Dutch army to attack. Taking the initiative was the People's Army, because it was the usual style of the time traveler. Although the People's Army and the British fleet reached an agreement that they could not attack Batavia, they could still find the weaknesses of the Dutch army and carry out attacks. Luo Yue knew that there were still four tribes that had not arrived in Batavia, and immediately began to study the combat possibility of ambushing these four tribes halfway.

After clarifying the roads of these four tribes to Batavia, it was finally decided to ambush two of them. However, the purpose of the ambush was not to annihilate or weaken the strength of the enemy. After all, even if these two tribes were completely wiped out, the losses of the Dutch army were limited. Therefore, the main goal was to hit the morale of the Dutch army and boost themselves, so that they were the Chinese people's confidence.

The ambush missions were carried out by two companies, and each company also brought 200 members of the farm guard team, allowing them to experience more training on the battlefield. Jiang Haidong was one of the troops who had the opportunity to ambush, and this operation was completed independently by him.

The ambush was located in a section of dense forest about 40 kilometers away from the farm. It turned out to be a remote road through dense forests opened by the Dutch colonial government. It is about 20 kilometers long and about 10 meters wide. There are dense jungles on both sides of the road, and all are tall tropical trees, with high trees and dense forests, which are very suitable for ambushing troops. The People's Army can set up an ambush area about 500 meters long.

However, due to the dense forests and trees, although it is conducive to the concealment of the army, it also brings a lot of trouble to the ambush of the People's Army. First of all, the woods greatly shorten the shooting distance, and can only be effective at 20-30 meters. Otherwise, the shooting route will basically be blocked by the tree poles. However, the shooting distance of 20-30 meters will cause the bullet to pass through the enemy's queue and shoot into the opposite tree; and it cannot be used, because the gap between the trees is too small and it is easy to hit the tree poles. Of course, although rifle shooting is more accurate than throwing, it will also hit the tree poles, but the bullets generally will not rebound back; long-range curved-fire weapons such as grenade launchers are even more unusable, which of course greatly reduces the firepower of the People's Army.

In response to these situations, Jiang Haidong decided to ambush all the troops on one side of the road and all the other side were empty. Although there was no slitting force, he could concentrate his troops and not worry about being attacked by mistake. However, although there was no ambushing army in the woods on the other side, there was no work class at all. He set up many traps, just tied * to the tree, tied strings with a thread, tied to another tree, about half a meter high from the ground, and once he tripped, he would trigger a * explosion; at the same time, Jiang Haidong sent more than 20 soldiers to climb up the big tree and threw * down from the tree to kill the enemy. Only grenade launchers, mortars and other weapons could only be abandoned.

After confirming the tactics in this way, he waited for the arrival of the indigenous army. As a result, he waited for only one day and was indeed waiting for the indigenous army. So Jiang Haidong immediately ordered the entire army to arrange according to the plan and prepare to ambush the indigenous army. Moreover, Jiang Haidong did not forget to ask the members of the farm guards not to open the security bolt of the rifle, in case they were nervous, and opened fire without waiting for the indigenous army to completely enter the ambush area of ​​the People's Army.

Jiang Haidong fought step by step from the grassroots of the People's Army, and was very clear about the tension of the recruits when they first went to the battlefield. Moreover, the members of these farm guards did not even complete basic training, so they could not expect too high. Moreover, it is best not to turn on the insurance before the battle, so that they would not shoot in advance.

Less than 10 minutes after the People's Army had all ambushed, I saw an indigenous army slowly walking along the road in the forest.

This tribe is more than 150 kilometers away from Batavia, one of the farthest tribes. The population of all is more than 12,000, basically locals. It is also a larger tribe on the entire Java Island. It turns out that this tribe has no good impression of the Dutch colonial government, and it secretly supports two anti-colonial organizations. However, they also hate the Chinese. In every anti-Chinese incident, this tribe was very active. Originally, they did not want to cooperate with the Dutch colonial government, but the People's Army continued to attack the Javanese natives, which aroused strong anger from the tribe. Therefore, when the Dutch colonial government sent an invitation to the tribe, after consultation by the top tribes, it believed that the power of the Dutch colonial government could be used to deal with overseas Chinese, so it decided to send troops to join the Dutch army to participate in the war, and immediately recruited an army of more than 800 people and rushed to the battlefield.

Since it came from afar, the indigenous army also brought a lot of baggage and more than 20 donkeys, horses and livestock, and the entire team stretched for more than 600 meters, which had exceeded the ambush area of ​​the People's Army.

After entering the ambush area of ​​the People's Army, the indigenous army did not notice the enemy's troops and lie within a range of more than 30 meters away, and still marched along the avenue in the forest.

At this time, Jiang Haidong was lying in the grass under a big tree that could not be hugged by people, staring at the actions of the indigenous army, holding a Type 96 pistol in both hands. Originally, Jiang Haidong was also equipped with a Type 01 rifle, but in this dense forest environment, it is not suitable for the combat environment of the Type 01 rifle. On the contrary, it is a Type 96 pistol.

It was not long, and a "boom" sound came from the front. It turned out that a soldier was ambushed on a big tree at the end of the People's Army's burial area. The person in charge first dropped the bomb as a signal for the People's Army to launch an attack. Therefore, after seeing the indigenous army on the tree, the soldier immediately broke a * string and then continued to continue.

After hearing the explosion of *, Jiang Haidong immediately yelled: "Let's fire." Then he fired his bow left and right and shot at the indigenous army. In fact, he didn't need to issue orders. The soldiers who were ambushed fired and fired one after another, while the soldiers hiding in the trees threw down the prepared * and exploded in the indigenous team. At this time, the members of the farm guards also opened their insurance and shot at the indigenous people. Of course, at least nearly 20% of the people forgot to open the insurance because of their emotions. As a result, they pulled the trigger several times, but they could not fire.

The indigenous army did not expect to be ambushed here at all, so they were completely unprepared. Moreover, the People's Army's firepower was extremely fierce, and there were continuous explosions on its head. They were even more shocked and screamed. Many people were either hit by bullets or by explosion fragments, and they could not get up. The entire team was in chaos.

However, at this time, some clever natives found that all the attacks seemed to be from the trees on one side, while the woods on the other side did not move at all, as if they were safe. Therefore, they fled to the woods on the other side, and some people greeted their companions and hid here quickly. So the native soldiers also fled to the woods on the other side. Before Na Zhi could run more than ten steps, he heard the sound of explosions and screams of people coming from the woods.

In fact, because the trees in the woods are dense and the indigenous soldiers are much looser after they escape into the dense forest, the lethality of the * explosion is very limited. Although some of them exploded, they did not even kill a single person. However, at this time, the indigenous soldiers thought that there was also an ambush from the People's Army in the dense forest on this side, and they dared to go deeper into the inside. People with a flexible mind hurriedly found a big tree to hide, while those who were slow to react were in a dilemma and stood there.

At this moment, Jiang Haidong saw that the indigenous army was completely in chaos, so he immediately ordered a charge, then took the lead in rushing out of the woods, fired on both guns and shot several soldiers in a row.

Other People's Army soldiers also held bayonets and rushed out of the jungle, fought hand-to-hand combat with the indigenous soldiers, and the soldiers on the trees also came down and joined the battle group. In fact, the number of the indigenous army was still far above the People's Army, and even if the farm guards were added, they had at least twice the number advantage.

But at this time, the entire indigenous army was in chaos. The soldiers had no fighting spirit and could not organize effective resistance at all. Moreover, most of the indigenous army were ordinary farmers. Although they had participated in several battles with other tribes and had certain combat experience, they had not received regular military training after all. The soldiers of the People's Army were well-trained. Even if they were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, they were not bad. Moreover, the People's Army soldiers would not blindly show off their courage. Instead, they carried out coordinated combat with squads. The soldiers cooperated with each other and had firepower to cover them. The indigenous soldiers were no opponents at all and were killed to the ground and died.
