Under the fierce blows of the People's Army, the indigenous army was forced to retreat to the dense forest on the other side again, after all, if they continued to stay on the road at this time, it would basically be a dead end, so although there seemed to be an ambush in the jungle on the other side, it seemed that there was not much movement, anyway, if the left and right were dead, then hide for a while.

In addition to a few explosions in the dense forest, there was no other ambush, so in the end, most of the indigenous soldiers still hid in the dense forest, but the People's Army did not press too hard, after all, the goal of this battle has been achieved, and the chance of fighting in the jungle is too great, and there is no need to chase closely, so the People's Army only chased 3 or 40 meters, and then stopped the pursuit.

The battle was not long, it lasted less than 40 minutes before it ended, and after a simple count, the KPA killed a total of about 160 indigenous soldiers, and about 150 wounded indigenous soldiers fell on the ground on the side of the road, while the KPA itself did not have a single death, only 7 soldiers were wounded, 4 people were killed in the farm guard, 16 were wounded, and some indigenous soldiers died in the jungle or fled into the jungle with injuries, which cannot be fully counted. But that's it, and it was a perfect win.

Jiang Haidong was also very satisfied with the outcome of this battle, so he immediately ordered the wounded soldiers to undergo simple treatment, take the remains of the dead with them, and immediately evacuate from the battlefield and return to the farm.

The People's Army did not kill or take away the wounded indigenous soldiers, but left them on the spot to fend for themselves. This time, the People's Army was lightly armed, of course, it was impossible to capture prisoners, and to keep them without killing, to the point was not all humanitarianism, but also intended to increase the burden on the indigenous army, and even the Dutch coalition army, after all, the indigenous army could not leave these wounded soldiers alone, if they took these wounded soldiers to join the Dutch army, it would definitely bring a lot of burden to the Dutch army.

After the KPA withdrew, it took about half an hour for the indigenous soldiers who had fled into the jungle to turn back one after another, and after questioning the wounded soldiers, they finally confirmed that the KPA had really left. The indigenous army then regrouped to contain the bodies of the dead and to give simple treatment to the wounded. The next step, after the consultation of several leaders, decided to go to Batavia to join the Dutch army. First, they have come to this point, and they are only less than 30 kilometers away from Batavia, so they have to meet no matter what, and second, there are still many wounded who will definitely not be able to hold out and return to the tribe, and rushing to Batavia can first let the wounded be treated.

So the native army buried the dead on the spot, took the wounded, regrouped the procession, and set out again, continuing on their way to Batavia.

By this time, the Dutch colonial army and the allied tribal forces had marched out of Batavia, assembled in predetermined positions, and built fortifications, with their headquarters in an indigenous village about 18 kilometers from the farm, and the Dutch positions about 12 kilometers from the farm.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Dutch army was not very good, the structure of the army was the same as that of the British, with a typical emphasis on sea and land over land, so the supreme military commander of the whole of Java was the naval commander Helwig, who was naturally also the supreme commander of this battle. However, Helweig was a naval officer after all, and he was not proficient in land warfare, and the two army officers in charge of tactical command were actually two army officers, Army Colonels Martinez and VanderVuit. The two of them took the lead in leading the army out of the city, arranging defensive positions outside the city, and setting up headquarters.

It was only two days before Helvig arrived at the command at the front. However, before he could sit down, he received two pieces of bad news, two indigenous tribes were ambushed by the People's Army halfway, a total of about 400 soldiers were killed, and more than 500 soldiers were wounded, of which more than 200 were seriously injured and basically incapacitated.

Before the battle officially began, Helweig was quite annoyed by the fact that he had suffered two defeats in a row and lost more than 600 men, although the attrition of troops was not a blow to the allied forces, but it was a big blow to the morale of the whole army. Because after the two tribes arrived at the position, the news of the ambush and the loss of the army quickly spread throughout the army, and many natives saw a large number of wounded. This also shocked many tribes, failure will always hit people's confidence, so some tribes are also thinking in their hearts, whether to go back as soon as possible and stop fighting this battle.

But for the Dutch colonial government, for Helweig, this battle was already on the line, and it had to be fought no matter what, so the tribes had to be pacified and agitated, otherwise the battle would not be won at all.

So Helweig immediately gathered the leaders of the tribes to discuss the matter. After everyone arrived, Hellwig once again made their interests clear to them, and made it very frank that if the coalition army lost, then the Dutch colonial government must cede a lot of practical interests and political power to the Chinese, and the Javanese Chinese already have a great economic advantage, and with the military support of the East China government, they will inevitably get rid of their position in Java in the future and stand above the natives of Java, so that Java in the future will not be Java of the Javanese, but the Java of the Chinese. If the tribes did not want to be suppressed by the Chinese, then the only way was to work together with the Dutch colonial government to defeat the People's Army.

These words really shocked all the tribes, because everyone knew that it was impossible for the indigenous tribes to resist the powerful force of the East China government, and the indigenous people of Java would only be reduced to a third-class class at that time. Of course, this is the result that each tribe is unwilling to accept, so only by relying on the Dutch colonial government and defeating the People's Army can they maintain the current status of the second leader of the indigenous people of Java, so no one mentions the matter of returning home, but they all honestly negotiate the war against the People's Army.

Seeing that everyone was moved by his words, Helweig couldn't help but feel refreshed, but he also knew that it was not enough to rely on such intimidation, if he wanted to boost the morale of the indigenous army, he had to stimulate some interests, so Helweig made a promise that after defeating the People's Army and breaking the farm, in addition to the rewards of the colonial government, the tribes could be plundered at will, and the property obtained was owned by the tribes. Wealth can also be plundered by various tribes.

Sure enough, after listening to Helweig's promise, the leaders of the tribes couldn't help but be in high spirits, because the Zhang family was recognized as a wealthy family in Java, and their industries were almost all over the island, and if they could rob him of his property, it would definitely be a lot of income for the tribes. Although the premise is to defeat the People's Army, it does lift the spirits of all the tribes, after all, there is a hope.

In fact, Hellwig also knew that because the Zhang family was obviously on the side of the People's Army this time, once the Dutch coalition army won, it would be basically impossible for the Zhang family to gain a foothold in Java, and at this time, there were already many businessmen in Batavia City staring at the Zhang family's industry, just waiting for the end of the war, of course, the Dutch coalition army won, and they would take it, and even the governor came forward to form a "Zhang Family Property Processing Committee" to coordinate the handling of the Zhang family's property in Java and other Dutch colonial governments.

And now Helweig promised that the tribes would rob the Zhang family's property, which would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the merchants, and the Netherlands was also a country founded on business, and the merchants had great political ability to influence the country's decision-making, but the top priority now was to defeat the People's Army, if the People's Army could not be defeated, then everything was useless. And to defeat the People's Army, after all, stabilize these tribes and let them contribute more.

Seeing that everyone's interest was rising, Helweig also decided to strike while the iron was hot, and since all the tribes had arrived, he would not hesitate to attack the farm tomorrow and strive to take the farm in one fell swoop. At this time, all the tribes naturally did not object, and even if one or two tribes had objections, they could not say anything on this occasion.

The tactical part was to be handled by Colonel Martinez, and the distribution plan of the club was to divide the army into three directions, with the Dutch colonial army in charge of the frontal attack, the first army of the Horde Alliance attacking the left flank, the second army of the Horde Alliance attacking the right flank, and the third army of the Horde Army as the reserve.

After arranging the tactics, Martinez further explained the reason for the tactical arrangement chosen, so that the advantage of the coalition forces in terms of strength could be fully exploited, and the KPA forces would be dispersed. The frontal side was often the most defensive, so colonial government forces were responsible, while the tribal coalition forces were responsible for attacking the weaker flanks. And before the official attack, the colonial government forces could also provide artillery support to the coalition forces.

This tactic was also recognized by all the tribes, after all, the colonial government took over the most difficult combat missions, and also provided artillery support for the coalition forces, so what else is there to say.

In fact, the Netherlands chose such a tactic, of course, with its own considerations, from the Dutch heart, it was intended to use the indigenous tribes as cannon fodder, so that they could consume the sharp energy and ammunition of the People's Army, and then the colonial government troops would attack and end the battle. However, this is too obvious, after all, the natives are not stupid and will not be willing to be cannon fodder, so the Netherlands has made some changes to this tactical idea and turned it into a three-sided attack, but the essence has not changed.

Martinez's wishful thinking was that the colonial government army would make a feint attack on the front in order to preserve its own strength, and let the tribal coalition attack the two wings of the farm with all its might, and if the KPA did not have enough troops on the two flanks to resist the tribal coalition army, it would inevitably draw reinforcements from the front, so that the colonial government army could change from a feint attack to a strong attack and break through the KPA defense line from the front. And even if the attack of the tribal coalition cannot mobilize the frontal strength of the KPA, it can also consume the energy and ammunition of the defense on both sides of the farm, and then transfer the main force of the colonial government army to the flank to attack, and there is a great certainty of breaking through the KPA's defense line in one fell swoop, and no matter what kind of army, the tribal alliance is the life of cannon fodder, and there is nothing to say.
