Chapter 197: Batavia (5)

The four natives held 3 children hostage, walked out of a distance of hundreds of meters, and saw that they were about to walk out of the town, and when they looked back, they still did not see the People's Army chasing, and even Qian Guoyu and others still stood still, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that they could escape with their lives.

And Qian Guoyu glanced at the young girl, and saw that she had been looking in the direction of the natives, covering her mouth with one hand, clenching her fist with the other, and the green tendons on the back of her hands were protruding, looking very nervous.

Qian Guoyu's heart was slightly indebted, and said, "Let's start." ”

I only heard the sound of an explosion from outside the town, and the natives who had already walked to the entrance of the town heard it, and they all subconsciously stopped, and at this moment, the gunshots rang out suddenly, and the four natives were shot to the ground almost at the same time, but the kidnapped children cried, and in the corner of the town, several soldiers rushed out, rushed forward, and pulled out the kidnapped children.

It turned out that after Qian Guoyu left the church, he ordered the soldiers to ambush at the entrance of the town, preparing to block the natives, and prepared 10 soldiers with good marksmanship, and arranged two soldiers for each soldier to be responsible for killing, and the last two soldiers were responsible for replenishing their guns after sniping. When the natives came to the entrance of the town, they were often prone to slackening their spirits and greatly reduced their vigilance, and at the same time arranged for people to cause explosions to distract the natives so that the snipers could succeed in one blow. Although this is a bit risky, and it is easy to accidentally injure the kidnapped child, Qian Guoyu thinks that he still has a considerable degree of certainty, because in the church, Qian Guoyu paid attention to the observation that the kidnapped child was short, so as long as he aimed at the upper half of the aborigines, the chance of accidental injury was actually not large.

And just after the gunshot, the young girl let out a scream and hurriedly ran in the direction of the town, and Qian Guoyu also smiled bitterly and chased after her. As a result, after running more than 100 meters, the young girl suddenly stumbled under her feet, and the whole person fell to the ground. ”

The young girl pushed Qian Guoyu away, ran to the three children, separated the soldiers, and carried them up and down to check, in fact, the three children were not injured, but they were frightened, so they couldn't stop crying. The young girl was a little relieved, and patiently comforted them.

At this time, Qian Guoyu also came to the scene and looked at the natives, three of them were killed by direct headshots, and one was shot in the chest. Then he walked up to the child and said, "The child is not hurt." ”

A soldier on the side said, "Deputy battalion commander, we have all seen it just now, and the child is not injured." ”

The young girl stood up and yelled at Qian Guoyu, "Why did you do this when you had promised to let them go, why did you have to kill them, and what if you hurt the children?"

Qian Guoyu said: "You calm down, because they are not ordinary people, they have killed a lot of people in the town, and I don't dare to guarantee that they will not hurt these children after they leave the town, and they can't take this risk." And the way you helped them to hide it is also quite dangerous, if we don't find out, they may even kill you all when we leave here. ”

After listening to Qian Guoyu's words, the young girl was silent for a while, turned around and pulled the three children, and said, "Let's go." Ignoring Qian Guoyu, he walked in the direction of the church with three children.

One of the soldiers said angrily, "What kind of attitude is this, we saved them just now." ”

Another soldier smiled and said, "What do you know, our deputy battalion commander is deliberately letting her?

Qian Guoyu glared and said, "If you don't speak, you won't be dumb, it's okay, move all these corpses." ”

Several of the warriors stuck out their tongues, and they all grinned as they carried the corpses.

After a short time, the troops responsible for stopping the natives also returned one after another, and the results of the inventory showed that a total of 271 natives were killed and 103 were captured in this battle, while the KPA still did not have a single death, only more than 10 soldiers were wounded. However, a total of 117 residents of Dagon town were killed in the looting, of whom 94 were Chinese, 17 were Europeans, 6 Javanese, and more than 300 people were injured, as many as 300 were injured, although the number of women was brutalized, and 173 shops were looted, 247 homes were looted, and many of the shops and homes were European or Javanese properties. Countless properties have been looted and destroyed.

In fact, although the Dutch colonial authorities continue to provoke the contradictions between the indigenous Javanese and the Chinese, but the contradictions between the Dutch colonists and the indigenous Javanese have not been significantly improved, in the hundreds of years of the Dutch colonization of Java, the indigenous resistance has never stopped, and although after entering the 19th century, the Dutch colonists promoted Europeanized education in Java, but the indigenous people who really naturalized and identified with the colonists were only a few, and most Javanese people did not have a good impression of the colonistsNot only were a large number of shops looted, but also people died in the looting.

At this time, Hong Hai, the person in charge of the Zhang family's two shops in Dagon, also came out with some merchants from the town, expressed his gratitude to the People's Army, and also accused the aborigines of the crimes, many people burst into tears, and several European businessmen also thanked the People's Army repeatedly, and some hoped that the People's Army could be stationed in Dagon Town to protect Dagon Town.

Qian Guoyu also comforted these people with good words, but also made it clear that it was impossible for the People's Army to be stationed in Dagon Town, but to return to the farm immediately, but if the residents were willing to go to the farm for temporary shelter, they could set off with the People's Army, and ensure the accommodation, and safety on the farm.

After finishing speaking, Qian Guoyu asked Hong Hai to inform the residents of the town of this meaning, and agreed to set off at a time, about one and a half hours, for the residents who were willing to go to the farm to prepare.

After Hong Hai went, Qian Guoyu ordered the captive natives to move the bodies of the dead natives out of the town, wrap them in cloth, and then find a place to bury them, and set up a wooden plank to explain the place and number of people to be buried, and wait for the aboriginal tribes to come and bury them again.

At this moment, a priest accompanied two businessmen to find Qian Guoyu, and first expressed his gratitude to Qian Guoyu, and Qian Guoyu was also polite. Then the priest said, "Mr. Major, we have a group of people who want to go to Batavia, but are worried about the insecurity of the road, and hope that the commander will send a part of the army to protect them to Batavia, and they are willing to pay a fee. ”

Qian Guoyu shook his head and said, "Father, you have also seen that our number is not large, and we will have to protect the Chinese to go to the farm in a while, so we have no way to divide our men to protect the others to go to Batavia, I am very sorry." ”

A merchant hurriedly said, "We are willing to pay, how much do you want, just make an offer, as long as you can send us to Batavia." ”

Qian Guoyu said with a smile: "It's not a matter of more money and less money, but we are really powerless now, so we can only help." ”

Another merchant said, "Then when we get to the farm, can you send us to Batavia?"

Qian Guoyu said: "We can indeed send people back to the farm, but this requires us to negotiate with the Batavian authorities, if we can negotiate well, of course, we can send you to Batavia, but to be honest, our relationship with the Batavian authorities is not good now, and it may even be hostile, so we can't guarantee that we can negotiate a result with the Batavian authorities in a short time, I hope you can consider this." ”

When the two merchants heard this, they could not help but be disappointed, and then the priest said, "Mr. Major, do you accept only Chinese and not people from other countries?"

Qian Guoyu said: "Of course not, this time the anti-Chinese incident in Java is not only the Chinese, but also Europeans and even some Javanese, as evidenced by what happened in Dagon Town, so although we are here to protect the Chinese in Java, in the spirit of humanitarianism, whether it is Chinese or people from other countries, we will take them in, as long as they are voluntary, all the treatment on the farm is the same as the Chinese." And when they arrive at the farm, they can leave at any time, and we will never stop them, but once we voluntarily leave the protection of the farm, we cannot be responsible for their safety. ”

The priest nodded and said, "Okay, there is a group of people in the church who will go to the farm with you, that is, those children, it is too dangerous here, it will be safer on the farm, Mr. Zhang and I are also old friends, since he lent you the farm, he must be able to trust you, I believe in his vision, and Miss Christine, the girl who dealt with you just now, in fact, she is also half Chinese, because her mother is Chinese, and her Chinese name is Li Lihua." ”

Qian Guoyu said: "Is she a nun in the church?"

The priest shook his head and smiled, "No, no, she is not from the church, but her kindness and love are in line with the church, her father was a businessman, and she is now a volunteer teacher in our church, and her main job is to teach those children, these children are orphans adopted by our church, and they need someone like Miss Christine to care for them." ”

Qian Guoyu nodded and said, "Okay, if she and those children go to the farm, we will try our best to arrange a better life for them." But ask them to prepare as soon as possible, because we are about to leave on time. ”

The priest said, "Okay, I'll go and inform them right away." ”
