"Mortar, fire!"

With the order of the company commander Jiang Haidong, the 6 and 60 mortars of the mortar platoon of the company were divided into two groups and opened fire in turn, launching a new round of strikes against the indigenous troops who had been in disarray.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Although the shells of the 60 mortars were not very lethal, Bi Jing was also an artillery shell, so it fell into the indigenous army and exploded, instantly blowing up the indigenous army to flesh and blood, and breaking limbs and arms. And the indigenous soldiers were even more panicked, after all, they could still tell that it was shelling, although they didn't see the artillery there, but the indigenous soldiers also knew the horror of the shelling.

In fact, under the attack of the helicopter, the indigenous army was already in chaos, and there was no need to use artillery bombardment at all, just send soldiers to charge, but Qian Guoyu considered that the artillery positions had already been arranged, so he couldn't let them not let go of a single shot, so he still let the mortar platoon launch the first round of strikes. The operational command of the club was handed over to the company commander Jiang Haidong. Jiang Haidong is also a veteran soldier of the People's Army, and he has performed well in all previous battles, and now he has been promoted to company commander and can command a company to fight.

After the mortar platoon carried out three rounds of strikes, Jiang Haidong gave the order for the indigenous troops of the three battle platoons to attack.

Although the number of the indigenous army was still far above that of the attacking People's Army, the morale of the army at this time had already been scattered, and they had no intention of fighting any further, and only wanted to escape from the battlefield; although the number of the People's Army was small, the weapons and equipment were far above the indigenous army, and they were well-trained, and the soldiers were divided into squads, shooting at each other alternately, and there was also a mixture of throwing * and grenadier launches* Under the continuous firepower, the indigenous army was suddenly wounded and killed, and the other indigenous soldiers dared to fight again, throwing away their weapons and fleeing in all directions.

A platoon was supposed to eliminate the native soldiers who had broken into the castle, but about 150 native soldiers broke into the castle and were fighting fiercely with the castle guards. Because the guards and workers in the castle all knew that once the castle was breached, everyone would not be able to escape for their lives, and the Zhang family was usually quite kind to them, so at this time, everyone fought to the death, so as not to block the indigenous soldiers, and did not let the indigenous soldiers develop in depth in the castle, and the battles were basically concentrated near the wall.

And the indigenous soldiers in the castle do not know the battle situation outside the city, so although the indigenous army outside the city has been defeated, but the fighting spirit of the indigenous soldiers in the city has not weakened much, but the people's army is dispersed into squads, from the gap in several walls, it is behind the indigenous soldiers, first of all, a fierce shooting, and when the indigenous soldiers come to their senses, many people have been shot and fell to the ground, and then the people's army soldiers have loaded their bayonets, rushed into the castle, and the indigenous soldiers started a white-knuckle battle, mainly because they were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people in the castle。

Despite the large number of indigenous soldiers, KPA was well-trained, bayonet-skilled, and had fire support from two Type 96 pistols per squad at short distances; The people who infiltrated the castle in advance had already told the guards and workers in the castle that the People's Army would come to reinforce immediately, so at this time, seeing the People's Army killing from the backs of the indigenous soldiers, they were all in high spirits, and the pressure on the wall was greatly reduced at this time, and the guards and workers guarding the wall rushed down to help the battle. The workers had no idea of taking in the captives at all, and even the indigenous soldiers who surrendered were still beaten to death with knives and sticks, and the remaining indigenous soldiers could only resist desperately when they saw it. However, at this time, the general trend of the indigenous army has gone, and even if they resist desperately, they will not be able to change the situation.

By the time the last of the indigenous soldiers were pierced by several spears and died tragically under the walls, the battle outside the castle was already over, and the indigenous army scattered and fled, and the KPA did not pursue, but unlike the fighting in the city, the KPA outside the city captured a large number of prisoners.

From the helicopter attack to the end of the battle, the whole process took less than 40 minutes, and the less than 200 people's army defeated more than 2,000 indigenous troops and saved the farm.

At this moment, I saw the gate of the castle open, and a group of people came out of it, led by an old man about 50 years old, wearing a Chinese-style robe and braids, under the guidance of the guide who led the way, came to Qian Guoyu, it turned out that the old man was the head of the farm, called Zhu Shoushan, and thanked Qian Guoyu for a thousand words, and Qian Guoyu also said a few polite words, and then asked about the situation of the farm.

It turned out that there were more than 1,000 people on the farm, including 120 guards, about 800 workers, and about 500 Javanese. In the past, Java was a tribal society, even if there was a state, it was in the form of a tribal alliance, but after being colonized for hundreds of years, the social structure of Java has also undergone great changes, and some indigenous tribes have gradually disintegrated, forming a large number of Javanese people who have no tribe or looser tribes.

Although the work on the Zhang family's farm was hard, the income was much higher than that of other local people, and the family could basically be fed and clothed, so many Javanese with free status were willing to work on the farm, but after the Chinese exclusion incident, the vast majority of Javanese fled the farm. Fortunately, when the Zhang family formed the farm guard, they insisted on using only Chinese, which can be regarded as stabilizing the guard, and the Zhang family did not hesitate to spend money, through various channels, purchased more than 60 rifles, and assembled the guard, although they are all old-fashioned single-shot rifles, but compared with the natives, it is also very advanced, and this guard team still played a big role in resisting the attack of the indigenous army. After the anti-Chinese incident, the farm sheltered another 5 to 600 Chinese, basically young and middle-aged, and when the indigenous army attacked the farm, they fought together with the escort team, and also contributed a lot of strength.

This farm is mainly planted with cash crops, there is also a part of rice, in the hot climate of Java, the sunshine is sufficient, can generally reach two crops a year, sometimes can reach three crops a year, and after receiving Zhang Zhenxun's notice, the Zhang family has transported a large amount of grain, salt, and medicine to the farm, and now there are about 1,000 tons of grain accumulated in the farm, and the salt, medicine and other materials are also very sufficient, which can basically ensure the food supply after the arrival of the army. In addition, there are more than 60 horses and donkeys and other livestock on the farm.

After understanding these situations, Qian Guoyu was also very satisfied, the security work has been done well, the Zhang family has indeed provided a lot of help to the East China government, and now the battalion headquarters can only arrive at the farm and then make arrangements for the whole body.

At this time, a soldier came over with a few flags, saying that they had picked them up on the hillside, and the platoon commander asked them to be sent over to identify them and see if they were valuable. After Zhu Shoushan saw the flag, he immediately recognized that this was the flag of the three tribes of Tallinn, Suka, and Aguntu, which can only be regarded as a small tribe in Java, the nearest is about 60 kilometers away from the farm, and it is the Suka tribe, with a population of about 3, 4,000, and the farthest is the Aguntu tribe, which is more than 100 kilometers away.

After Qian Guoyu heard this, his heart moved, if it is only 60 kilometers, it is not far away, and the base of 3, 4000 population, the number of young and middle-aged men is estimated to be about 1000 people, and the number is not much, if the whole battalion of troops arrives, concentrate 1-2 companies of troops, it can be regarded as a warning to the natives of Java. Of course, Qian Guoyu did not say this idea to Zhu Shoushan.

By the afternoon, the battlefield was cleared, and after passing through the clear point, a total of 315 natives were killed and 423 were captured, but most of the prisoners were wounded and had no time to escape and were captured, and about 80 of them were seriously wounded, either hit by bullets, or their hands and feet were blown off. Now all the captives have been stripped of their shirts and shorts, and they are held in a clearing, while the wounded prisoners are lying on the ground, because the KPA who came up to reinforce them did not bring medical personnel, so they were not treated. None of the KPA fighters were killed or wounded, and only 12 were wounded in the fighting. However, 153 people were killed and 237 were injured on the farm, which can be regarded as a heavy casualty.

Judging from the captured indigenous weapons, most of them were cold weapons, and there were 53 muskets, of which only 12 were slightly more advanced and were single-shot rifles, and the rest were old-fashioned reloader flintlock pistols, and even more than 10 breech guns. Judging from these weapons, the combat effectiveness of the natives is not very good, so Qian Guoyu believes that his plan has further implementability.

After reading the results of the inventory, Qian Guoyu said to Zhu Shoushan: "Chief Zhu, these weapons left by the natives, first find a place to put them, and these prisoners we have captured will also find a few rooms, detain them, and treat the injured people." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in his early 30s beside Zhu Shoushan shouted, "What are you going to do to heal them? These Javanese people are the worst, they usually rely on the power of the red-haired people to bully us Chinese, what are you doing to save them now? Kill them all, according to me." ”

Zhu Shoushan glared at him and said, "Guoping, Chief Qian is here, so you have to speak, don't stop me." ”

This young man's name is Zhang Guoping, and he is a distant relative of Zhang Zhenxun, because he is physically strong and has practiced martial arts for several years, so Zhang Zhenxun appointed him as the captain of the farm guard. In this battle to defend the farm, 34 people were killed and 37 were injured, and Zhang Guoping was also angry, and when he heard Qian Guoyu say that he would also treat the injured prisoners, he immediately broke out.

Qian Guoyu glanced at him and said, "If you have the ability to use it on the battlefield, what kind of ability is it to bully the captives." ”

Zhang Guoping's face turned red, and he said loudly: "If we have guys like you, are we afraid that we won't be able to beat these Javanese?"

Zhu Shoushan said sharply: "Shut up, in front of Chief Qian, you still dare to talk nonsense, get back for me." ”

Although Zhang Guoping is a distant relative of Zhang Zhenxun, Zhu Shoushan is a henchman who has followed Zhang Zhenxun for nearly 30 years, and his qualifications are far above Zhang Guoping, so he can reprimand Zhang Guoping like this.

When Zhang Guoping heard this, he didn't dare to force his mouth anymore and left with his head down.
