Chapter 218 The Battle of Java (8)
After receiving Luo Yue's order, the first battalion immediately launched an attack on the Dutch coalition camp. At this time, the coalition's positions had been bombarded, and the bombing was disrupted, and the defense line was even more useless. Therefore, the People's Army's assault was very smooth, and there was almost no obstacle. It easily broke into the Dutch coalition's positions, and then quickly expanded its forces and launched a fierce battle with the Dutch coalition soldiers.
At this time, the Dutch coalition was completely in chaos. Not only was the army's organization disrupted, but many soldiers were also bombarded and awakened by bombing in their sleep. They escaped from the tent or house without even wearing clothes. They were all shirtless, and some were wearing shorts and bare hands and bare hands, without even sticks. How could they fight against the soldiers of the People's Army? Even if a few soldiers were fully equipped and had weapons to resist for a while, the number was too small, and they could not stop the attack of the People's Army.
After a while of fierce fighting, seeing that the Dutch coalition forces could not afford effective resistance, the first battalion immediately divided into companies, with the front of each company spreading about 100 meters, and about 300 meters away from each other, advancing in unison to the depth of the Dutch coalition positions. Each team of People's Army cooperated with squads, with two 3-man sharp knife teams responsible for the fire support, and two grenade launchers teams followed, and two soldiers were mobile personnel, shooting at the enemies in the distance with pistols, and the near enemy was assassinated by the sharp knife team. If an organized enemy army was found to have a favorable location to resist, the grenade team was responsible for the destruction. The 12 people in a squad formed a whole and cooperated with each other to support the battle, and only killed the enemy soldiers fell to the ground and died, which was impossible to stop, as if they entered a no-man.
After the first battalion's assault was successful, Luo Yue immediately ordered the follow-up troops to immediately enter the battle, continue to expand the results, and completely defeat the Dutch coalition. After the Third Battalion and the Farm Guard entered the battlefield, the People's Army's strength increased greatly and launched a full-scale attack on the Dutch coalition's positions. At this time, the Dutch coalition had already lost, and now it could not resist, so it had to retreat from the positions one after another.
Hurvig's command was relatively backward, and there were not many shells falling here, but helicopters dropped a lot of them here. But they were still better than the front of the position. So with the help of the guards, Hurvig finally moved his clothes and brought his gun.
Originally, Helvegg wanted to gather the fleeing soldiers, reorganize the army and resist for a while, but in the chaos, no one listened to Helvegg's greetings. After a long time of power, only a dozen guards around him listened to his dispatch. He also wanted to ask someone to find Martinez and Van der Witt. The three of them joined together to find a way to command the army. However, Helvegg sent two guards to find them, but there was no reply for a long time. I don't know if the two guards were not there, died halfway through, or just ran away.
Although Hervig's command was far away from the front of the position, the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. It was almost as if it was not far from the command, and more and more soldiers were defeated and fleeing. Therefore, Helvig did not dare to stay in the command for a long time. If the People's Army came over, he might not be able to escape. So Helvig did not dare to wait for the guards to return, and immediately took his guard to evacuate from the command center to Batavia.
At this time, the sky had been completely bright, and the Dutch coalition was defeated in an all-round way. The armies of various tribes fled in scattered one after another, and the People's Army also dispersed its troops and pursued the defeated troops everywhere. Therefore, the entire battlefield was divided into several areas.
However, from a general perspective, most of the troops were defeated towards Batavia, because the colonial army basically fled to Batavia. Although the armies of each tribe fled back to their respective tribes, most of them had to pass through Batavia. Some tribes followed the crowd. Anyway, they fled to Batavia first, and as a result, a crowd of fled to Batavia was formed.
Helveg arrived along the way to retreat and still accommodated many defeated soldiers. After all, it was dawn and the pursuers behind were far away, so he felt a little calm. Seeing that there were senior officers here, many of the defeated soldiers gathered over. As a result, not long after, more than 200 people gathered around Helveg. As the number of people increased, Helveg felt a lot more calm.
But although there were too many people, the team was very scattered, and most of them had no weapons, and many people were bare and naked. So Helveg ordered the team to pause, intending to rectify first and then take action.
Just as Helveg was rectifying the team, another defeated army caught up from behind, and the leader was Van der Witt. It turned out that Van der Witt was awakened by the artillery fire of the People's Army and quickly got up. Fortunately, he did not take off his military uniform and went to bed, so he reacted very quickly. After he got up, he happened to meet a team returning from patrol, so Van der Witt immediately recruited them to his side, and there was a warable soldier.
When the People's Army launched an attack on the position, Van der Wet led the team and used the terrain in the position to resist. They killed some soldiers from the People's Army and took advantage of the chaos to contain some scattered soldiers. However, his team was soon discovered by the People's Army, and was shot by a grenade launcher and suffered heavy casualties. Even Van der Wet was injured. Seeing that the general situation was gone, Van der Wet had to take the remaining soldiers to retreat from the position.
However, because he brought many people, basically all his uniforms and weapons, many people gathered along the way. So under the leadership of Van der Witt, he retreated in the direction of Batavia, and ended up meeting Helvig halfway.
After they met, they felt a sense of surviving the disaster, and they couldn't help but feel sad and happy. They briefly talked about their own experiences. Hulvig asked Martinez again, and Van der Witt didn't know where Martinez was. It was probably a disaster.
The two of them did not dare to stay here for a long time. They had nearly 800 troops in one place, including colonial soldiers and indigenous soldiers. There were more than 100 soldiers dressed neatly and had weapons. At that time, the two left more than 20 people to guard the others and organized the others into a team to cut off the rear. Then the army set out and headed towards Batavia.
The team walked more than 10 kilometers away and gathered some scattered defeated soldiers along the way, with more than a thousand people, which was quite impressive. At this moment, there was only a "papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa
This is exactly where the Second Battalion of the People's Army set up an interception position. Battalion Commander Li Lixin divided the entire battalion into companies and lie in ambush in the woods. At the same time, each company also equipped two machine guns to strengthen firepower.
There were some scattered soldiers in front of him, but the battalion commander Li Lixin thought that these were all scattered soldiers and were not worthy of alarming the enemy, so he let them go. This time there were a large group of people, with more than a thousand people, so of course they could not be let go. So he immediately opened fire and fired, causing a head-on blow to the defeated soldiers.
Hurvig and Van der Wit hurriedly found a place to hide, and commanded soldiers with rifles to come forward and shoot against the ambush. However, the Dutch coalition was not many with rifles, and they were in a hurry to fight and could not find a suitable cover. Therefore, in the shooting between the two sides, soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground. When the other soldiers saw it, they had to retreat one after another.
At this moment, two people's army had already crossed over from both sides and launched a charge towards the Dutch coalition. Although there were not many people's army charging, the coalition was still not an opponent. After swinging the bayonets of the People's Army soldiers, they were killed and fell to the ground and died. Then the People's Army on the front also rushed up and immediately disrupted the Dutch coalition. Hurvig and Van der Witt were also disrupted.
Hurvig led a team of soldiers, and was killed in the east, south, west and north. He ran around in the dense forest, thinking about escaping from afar, but for some time, he encountered a People's Army unit. The two soldiers running in front were immediately shot and fell to the ground, and the other soldiers immediately launched hand-to-hand combat. However, the soldiers of the People's Army were extremely brave. When the two sides fought for a few times, most of the soldiers from the coalition were stabbed to the ground.
Not long after, more than 10 soldiers from the Dutch coalition army died in battle, and only 4 or 5 soldiers were left beside Helveg. When Helveg saw that he dared to fight again, he quickly turned around and ran. Before he could run a few steps, he heard two screams behind him. Obviously, two more soldiers were killed. Then there were several "bang" sounds, and several bullets flew over from behind Helveg with the sound of wind. Some hit the studs next to him, and some hit the leaves flying around.
Hurvig was so scared that he rushed out of the sky. He stepped up his feet and ran wildly. However, he didn't know how long he ran, but suddenly he tripped, and suddenly he was hanging around, and he fell to the ground. He also rolled 5 or 6 times in a row, feeling dizzy and sore all over his body.
