Chapter 196: Batavia (4)
The indigenous soldiers escaped from the town from the main street, so after leaving the town, the indigenous soldiers also fled along the avenue, first, they followed this avenue, and when they fled back, they naturally returned the same way; second, the avenue was flat and easier to walk, and there were paddy fields on both sides of the road, and it was really impossible to walk. However, the avenue is not very wide, so the indigenous soldiers also densely pulled out a length of 2 or 300 meters, fortunately, the People's Army did not chase after it, and the indigenous soldiers were not in a hurry, and many people were hooked shoulders and backs, some talked and laughed.
After running about 2 kilometers of land, the paddy fields also came to an end, and the road ahead was already dense on both sides, and at this moment, only the sound of an explosion was heard, which exploded in the crowd of indigenous soldiers, blowing several indigenous soldiers away.
Immediately after that, in the dense forest on both sides of the avenue, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the bullets were fired at the indigenous soldiers like a rapid wind and rain, and immediately shot a large number of indigenous soldiers, and almost all the natives in the first few rows were spared, all of them fell to the ground, either dead or wounded.
When the indigenous soldiers in the back saw it, they dared to continue to stay on the avenue, and fled down the avenue one after another, hiding in the paddy fields on both sides of the avenue, but the People's Army continued to shoot, all kinds of rifles, machine guns, and mortars opened fire, and the shells fell into the paddy fields and exploded, hitting several pillars of muddy water, and all kinds of bullets mercilessly flew in the air, harvesting the lives of the indigenous soldiers.
In fact, the fire of the People's Army did not last long, and in less than two minutes, countless indigenous soldiers fell to the ground, and the dead aborigines fell to the paddy fields and on the avenue, and the blood left behind stained the paddy fields and the earth red. The wounded soldier writhed in pain in the muddy water, screaming and wailing. The People's Army immediately launched an attack on the remnants of the natives.
In fact, the charging People's Army only had a platoon, more than 40 people, and the number of natives was far above the People's Army, but when they were driven out of the town, they had no sharpness, and after being stopped by the People's Army, they were even more frightened, and they dared to fight with the People's Army, and they were caught up by the soldiers of the People's Army, or they were killed, that is, they were stabbed to death by the people, and some of the indigenous soldiers were caught up and immediately knelt down and surrendered.
The whole barrage was not long, it was over in less than 30 minutes, and the indigenous soldiers who escaped from the town were killed and wounded countless more than in the town, and many surrendered.
At this time, the town had entered the stage of cleaning up the battlefield, and the People's Army counted the dead indigenous soldiers, sheltered the wounded, and at the same time cleared the remaining indigenous people. Because some of the natives did not flee the town, but hid in the town, and of course they had to be found one by one. Therefore, the People's Army searched from house to house, and most of the residents in the town knew that they were rescuing themselves, and they were very cooperative, and many people pointed out the hiding places of the natives to the People's Army, but it didn't take long for the People's Army to find more than 20 natives in the town, of which only 3 were stubbornly resisted and were killed by the People's Army, while the rest of the natives could only raise their hands and surrender.
At this moment, a resident reported to Qian Guoyu that he had seen several soldiers hiding in a church, and Qian Guoyu immediately rushed to the church with a platoon of soldiers under the leadership of the residents. Although the scale of this church is not large, it covers an area of more than 200 square meters and is two stories high, but the doors and windows are closed, and there are faint figures shaking inside. Qian Guoyu immediately ordered the soldiers to block the front and rear doors and windows of the church, and then ordered a soldier to come forward and knock on the door.
After two knocks, only to hear a "squeak", the door of the church opened, and out of it came a young woman, wearing a dark robe, black hair, slightly curly, with a rather delicate face, but with deep sunken eyes and a high nose, she looked like a mixed Chinese and Western, and her age was only in her early 20s.
In fact, the soldiers of the People's Army did not expect that someone would open the door, but only thought that after a few knocks, they would bang on the door, but they did not expect that the door would open, and it was a young girl who came out. The military discipline of the People's Army is extremely strict, and it is in terms of the relationship between men and women, so when she saw that it was a young girl, she couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously took a step back.
And the young girl opened her mouth and said, "Who are you, what are you going to do?" It was Chinese, and although her tone was very fluent, her accent was slightly stiff, and she was obviously not really Chinese.
Qian Guoyu took a step forward and said: "We are the People's Army from China, because there was an anti-Chinese incident in Java, so we rushed to protect our expatriates, I heard that the natives looted Dagon Town, we are here to help the Chinese here, we have repelled the natives just now, but someone saw a few natives hiding in the church, so we came to search." ”
The young girl shook her head and said, "There are no natives in our church, so you don't need to search it." ”
Qian Guoyu saw that her eyes were uncertain when she spoke, the expression on her face was quite uncertain, and her hand holding the door trembled slightly, she knew that there must be something strange in the church, and she was secretly vigilant in her heart, and said: "Since there are no natives, it doesn't matter if we go to the church to have a look." Without waiting for her to react, she pushed the door with one hand, and the young woman had Qian Guoyu's strength, and was suddenly pushed open by Qian Guoyu and entered the church, and the other soldiers also entered in turn, although the young girl wanted to stop it, but she could stop it.
The soldiers were all trained for a long time, and after entering the church, they immediately divided left and right, standing or crouching, raising their guns on alert, and protecting Qian Guoyu in it. Qian Guoyu looked left and right, and saw that the hall of the church was about 7 or 80 square meters, but it was empty and there was no one. In my heart, I even concluded that there was something wrong with the church, because the clergy had gone there, and it was difficult to say that the church had colluded with the aborigines, so they deliberately harbored the aborigines.
The young girl's expression was panicked at first, but she still kept her composure and said, "I told you, there are no natives. ”
Qian Guoyu smiled and said, "Why are you the only one in such a big church? Everyone else has gone there, at least the priest should come out and show his face." ”
The young girl suddenly opened her mouth and couldn't answer, Qian Guoyu said again: "What the hell is going on, how many natives are hiding in the church, and where they are hiding, we should honestly confess, otherwise, we will start searching." ”
But before the young girl could speak, she heard a loud sound from behind the wall on the left, and the eyes of Qian Guoyu and the soldiers were immediately attracted, and they saw a double-open door on the wall, which was obviously a room. The two soldiers immediately raised their rifles and pointed them at the door.
Qian Guoyu said: "What is this room?"
The young girl's face turned pale and she said, "No... No ......" rushed in front of Qian Guoyu, but was stopped by two soldiers raising their rifles. And Qian Guoyu also concluded that there must be something wrong with this room, so he signaled to the two soldiers.
The two soldiers immediately stepped forward and kicked the door open. Several soldiers immediately raised their guns at the gate, but no one came out.
Then the young girl spoke again, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't shoot, please, don't shoot, don't hurt the children, don't hurt the children." ”
Qian Guoyu frowned slightly and said, "Go in." ”
The two soldiers immediately entered the room with their rifles, and Qian Guoyu followed suit. This room is about 40 square meters, and there are tables and chairs that have fallen to the ground, and in the corner of the room, there are 3 or 4 adults and more than 20 children. There were also four natives, one with a musket, and the other three with swords, and they were on the necks of several children, all of whom were staring fiercely at Qian Guoyu.
At this time, the young girl also squeezed into the room and said to Qian Guoyu: "This sir, please, don't let them hurt the children." Then he hurriedly said a lot to the natives, all of whom spoke Javanese, so Qian Guoyu couldn't understand it, but it was estimated that he was saving the natives from harming these children.
Now Qian Guoyu basically understands the whole thing, it is not that the church shelters the natives, but that the natives have taken the children of the church hostages, and this young girl is also for the sake of these hostages, because she is the safety of the child, she is forced to help the natives hide her words, so she has a little respect for the young girl, and after thinking for a while, she said to the young girl: "You tell them, don't hurt these children, I can let them leave here, if one of the children is injured, they don't want to live." ”
When the young girl heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said to the natives again, and when the natives heard this, their faces were greatly softened, after all, they saw a way out, and the natives with the muskets immediately said a few more words. The young girl said, "He said let you all go out and withdraw all the soldiers." ”
Qian Guoyu nodded and said, "Okay, I promise them." Then he said to his soldiers, "Let's go." "With all the soldiers in his hands, he left the church.
After a short time, I saw a natives come out of the church, and saw that there were no soldiers of the People's Army outside, only Qian Guoyu with two guards, but they were all empty-handed, and did not hold a gun, and they were not overjoyed, so they hurriedly shouted twice to the church, and after a while, they saw that the other three natives each held a child hostage, and came out of the church, and the four people came to carve the street, looked left and right, and sure enough, they did not find the soldiers of the People's Army, and said a few words to Qian Guoyu.
The young girl stood at the door of the church and said, "He told you to stand there and not move, because they will let the children go outside the town, or they will kill them." ”
Qian Guoyu said: "Okay, let them go, we promise not to chase them, let them keep their promises, and release them after they leave the town." ”
The young girl relayed Qian Guoyu's words to the natives, and the natives listened, so they took the three children and walked out of the town.
