In the eyes of most Acehnese, Aceh is not part of Indonesia, never has been. Indonesia is the aggressor for them.
They want to see the day when Aceh becomes independent.
It is precisely because of the broad base of the people that such a large-scale operation can successfully evade the eyes of the authorities and be successfully deployed in place.
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly: "Boom, boom, boom......"
With a roar, the battle began, and the 'Aceh Defense Forces' launched a fierce attack on the barracks from the east and west.
Unlike ordinary militants, the equipment of the Aceh Defense Forces can be described as luxurious.
AK47 rifles are not to mention, each militant also wears a bulletproof vest. In addition, anti-materiel rifles and bazookas are available for vitality support.
There were even several people carrying anti-aircraft missiles in each of the east and west directions.
They were mainly prepared for air support from government forces. Such a luxurious weapon configuration is rare among the rebel forces of this era.
At the moment when the explosion sounded, the entire barracks were siren.
Due to the complete defenselessness, there were only a dozen soldiers on guard at the camp gate on the east side, and the duty room was reimbursed by bazookas at the first time.
The bones of several of the soldiers inside were gone.
How could the remaining soldiers resist the attack of the Aceh Defense Army, and the Dongying Gate was quickly lost. As for the other direction of attack, the west!
There was no camp gate on this side, it was all a tall wall, and there was a guard tower.
Like the duty room at the gate of the battalion, the alert tower was hit by two rockets at the first time, and all the weapons and personnel inside were destroyed.
Then a large hole was blown open in the wall.
Originally, the defense of a military camp like this should have been very tight, but being breached in such a short period of time can only show that the ability of the government army is too poor.
There is also too laxity.
Not to mention the commander of the army in Aceh, even the Indonesian top brass would not have thought that the 'Aceh Defense Force' would have such a powerful firepower.
You must know that in the past, the 'Aceh Defense Force' was only able to do some small damage.
The weapons they are equipped with are basically pistols and a small number of rifles, and there are some homemade explosives, and heavy equipment like bazookas is complete nonsense.
It is this inertial thinking that creates a lax defense.
Otherwise, just place a few tanks at the camp gate, and then set up a cordon at a distance from the barracks, and the result will be completely different.
At least it wasn't so easy for the Aceh Defense Forces to break through the big battalion.
When the alarm sounded, several patrols that had been patrolling the barracks were stunned, and then immediately rushed to the outside of the camp to support.
But what awaits them is ferocious firepower.
Seeing this, the rebel soldiers who were hiding in the guard duty room immediately rushed out of the duty room, but their target was not outside the camp.
It's an armored garage!
One of the objectives of the Aceh Defense Forces in this operation was these armored equipment, and at the same time, these armored equipment were the most feared by them.
No matter how strong their firepower is, they can't compare with tanks, and at this time the role of internal response is revealed.
The commander of the operation, Deputy Commander-in-Chief (one of the Deputy Commanders-in-Chief) of the Aceh Defense Forces, Lonisa ?? Guna Tilga gave them only one task -
Guard the door of the armored garage!
β¦β¦
While the military barracks on the outskirts of the north-east were attacked, two other barracks stationed in Banda Aceh were also attacked almost simultaneously.
The battle was fierce.
In addition to these three, there are about 200 other hidden Movement for Free Aceh militants operating in multiple directions throughout the city.
Suddenly the sound of gunfire rang out in the otherwise silent city.
And over time, the fighting not only did not stop, but became more and more intense. This is evident from the incessant explosions.
All the citizens were frightened, they did not know what was happening.
Although there have been occasional shootouts in the city in the past, like this, never. This is no longer a riot, but a war.
By dawn, helicopters appeared in the sky, and they were helicopter gunships supported by government forces.
However, after the two gunships circled in the air a few times, suddenly several flames rushed from the ground, and the firelight accurately hit the helicopter.
This was followed by a violent explosion.
Both helicopter gunships were shot down, and one exploded and disintegrated directly in the air, scattering debris and slag into several houses below.
The other made a forced landing in an open field, and a small outbreak occurred after the forced landing.
The vast majority of the population did not know what was happening, and there seemed to be no sound in the city except for the sound of gunfire and explosions.
If anything, it's hospitals.
Although neither of the warring sides spoke to the civilians, stray bullets could not be avoided, or they were cut by glass shattered by the sound of explosions, and so on.
It was not until 9 o'clock that the explosions gradually stopped.
The Aceh Defense Forces (IDF) successfully captured three Indonesian government military camps in Banda Aceh by means of a surprise attack and a combination of inside and outside.
More than 500 government troops were killed, a large amount of equipment, including tanks, was captured, and thousands of prisoners were captured.
Most of the captives didn't even have time to get dressed. Government buildings, police stations, television stations and airports in Banda Aceh were also occupied.
At 9:30 a.m., a video was broadcast on Banda Aceh TV.
The video, apparently recorded in advance, shows Hassan Diro, the leader of the Free Aceh Movement, delivering the Aceh's Declaration of Independence.
Then the TV screen cuts to a studio.
In the studio, Lonissa in camouflage costume?? Gunatilgar, in his capacity as deputy commander-in-chief of the Aceh National Defense Forces, announced the liberation of Banda Aceh.
This was followed by a general description of the battle.
In the just-concluded jihad, we achieved a great victory that we had never achieved before, and we broke through the three military camps of the invaders stationed in Banda Aceh.
A large number of weapons were seized, including tanks, armoured vehicles, as well as two helicopters that did not have time to take off, as well as a large number of government soldiers.
This is the camera panning to the side, and a middle-aged man with his hands cuffed appears on the TV screen.
This middle-aged man was dressed in a government army uniform, and it could be seen from the rank on his shoulders that this was a major general, but he looked a little embarrassed.
The camera keeps on the middle-aged man, Lonissa?? The continuation of Guna Tilgar sounds-
He was the supreme commander of the Indonesian invaders' army in Aceh, and now all officers and soldiers below him have been imprisoned.
Next, the Aceh Defense Forces will continue to advance to other cities.
I hope that all Acehnese will heed the call of our great leader, Hassan, to take up all the tools at your disposal and drive out the invaders.
Aceh is the Aceh of our Acehnese!
Finally Lonissa?? Gunatilga also warned the Indonesian government: If you dare to carry out large-scale retaliation against Banda Aceh,
We will not be able to guarantee the safety of our captives.
Lonissa?? After Gunatilga's speech, other images appeared on television, including bombed-out barracks, detained soldiers,
There are crashed helicopter gunships, there are bodies that have lost their lives, and so on.
These are all symbols of the victory of the Aceh National Army, and they want to use these images to awaken the indomitable and resistance that has been dormant in the blood of the Aceh people.
Let more Acehnese people join them.
However, long before Hassan Diro issued the Aceh Declaration of Independence, the entire Indonesian leadership in Jakarta was already frying.
Suharto was urgently woken from his sleep.
When he came to the office, seven or eight people, including the vice president, the minister of defense, and the commander-in-chief of the national army, were already waiting for him.
At this time, he was in no mood to say hello at all, and asked directly, "How is the battle going?"
On the way to the office, he had already learned some information from the head of the president's office, and his mood was as bad as he could say.
The commander-in-chief of the National Army stood up and saluted.
"Now the fighting continues, but the fire of the rebels is very strong, and the other side has an internal response in the barracks, and the situation is very unfavorable for us. β
"Are you sure it's Hassan?"
The Commander-in-Chief of the National Army affirmed: "We can be sure that in the battle we killed one of the leaders of the other side, and it is certain that it is Hassan's men." β
"Bang-"
Suharto suddenly slammed the table: "Can anyone tell me how those rebels in Aceh have such great strength?"
"Didn't the report some time ago say that everything is stable?"
Looking at Suharto, who had a hideous face and seemed to be about to choose someone to devour, everyone in the office was as quiet as a cicada, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.
The commander-in-chief of the National Army couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
Since becoming Indonesia's president in a military coup in 1967, Suharto has maintained his rule by suppressing political dissent through heavy-handed means.
is a real military strongman.
Therefore, it has unparalleled prestige and power in Indonesian politics. For example, all the people here were pulled up by him.
"This ...... This should be supported by external forces. β
The commander-in-chief of the National Army said curtly.
Although the information he has is still very limited, there is only one possibility that the 'Free Aceh Movement' can increase in strength in a short period of time.
It was supported by external forces.
At this time, the office door opened, and a man in military uniform saluted Suharto, and then handed Suharto a copy of the battle report:
"Mr. President, this is the report of the Army Commander. β
Suharto immediately opened the battle report and read it, and after a while, his face turned iron-blue, and he snorted coldly and forwarded the battle report to the commander-in-chief of the National Army.
The latter hurriedly took it.
Soon his face became ugly.
When the Banda Aceh military camp was attacked, other government forces stationed elsewhere in Aceh were immediately ordered to rush to help.
However, the Indonesian army is not an American army, and it is not so mobile.
As a result, two helicopter gunships equipped with rocket launchers rushed to the front, but they were shot down as soon as they arrived on the battlefield.
The opposing side used a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile.
You must know that even in the Indonesian army, shoulder-fired defense and control missiles are the most sophisticated equipment, and the Free Aceh Movement actually has it?
Suharto groaned and ordered:
"The armies supported by the various armies have increased their speed, and Banda Aceh must not be occupied by the rebels. Order the navy to immediately blockade the sea off Banda Aceh. β
"Not even a fishing boat can be spared. β
After a pause, he said in a more and more cold tone: "In addition, the intelligence department will investigate immediately, and I want to see who is supporting them." β
β¦β¦
When she got up in the morning, Angelina, who was kneeling on the bed to serve Wei Xiong, suddenly heard a phone ringing, and looked up to see that it was hers.
Don't bother to pay attention, lower your head and continue.
After a few moments, the bell stopped, but within a few seconds it rang again. Wei Xiong opened his eyes and said, "Baby, let's answer the phone first, there may be an emergency." β
Angelina also guessed that there should be an emergency, otherwise the phone would not have rang twice in a row.
Picking up the phone, before Angelina could complain, a man's eager and excited voice came from the phone:
"Boss, where are you, something big has happened. β
"The rebel group 'Free Aceh Movement' in the Indonesian province of Aceh occupied Banda Aceh and captured thousands of soldiers of the Indonesian government army. β
"The Declaration of Independence was also issued......
Angelina probably understood, but the specifics were a little vague: "Stop, you slow down, tell me the details of the matter." β
After a few minutes, Angelina finally understood what was going on.
After hanging up the phone, she said very upset: "Last night, Indonesia's anti-government armed 'Free Aceh Movement' captured Banda Aceh.
Its leader, Hassan, also issued a declaration of independence. β
"It's a very big international event, and I've always been in charge of international news, so I have to go to the company right now. β
Wei Xiong smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Go ahead." β
Bowing her head and kissing Wei Xiong on the lips, Angelina smiled and said, "I will take care of things as soon as possible and come back to accompany you, wait for me." β
β¦β¦
After Angelina left, Wei Xiong looked comfortable and lit a cigar, but he couldn't help but show a gloating smile on his face.
This smile is aimed at the Indonesian government.
With his ear, he could hear Angelina's call with the company's employees clearly just now, which was largely beyond his expectations.
He envisioned that the independence movement in Aceh would be a long struggle.
At least five or six years.
Who knew that Hassan Dilo had planned such a big operation less than half a year after receiving his support, and in the end it would have succeeded.
This national independence movement is different from other types of wars.
The key is to see if there is a person or a force that rises to the top. If so, then more and more people will be involved in this movement.
Now the 'Free Aceh Movement' has gained prestige through this stop.
The strength will certainly increase rapidly in a short period of time, and with the thousands of government soldiers who have been captured as hostages, they will be able to occupy a certain initiative.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for the movement to be successful.
That is, to continue to get external support, that is, his support, if the arms supply chain is broken, what will be used to fight the government army?
After the Battle of Banda Aceh, the Indonesian Navy will definitely blockade the waters of Aceh.
In the future, it will be much more difficult to smuggle arms into Aceh than before. He couldn't help but wonder if he should increase his support for Hassan Diro.
For example, how many missile boats should be allocated to the Aceh Defense Forces?
During this period, the Indonesian Navy only had a few broken ships, which were used for patrols and customs inspections, and could not adapt to modern naval warfare at all.
Thinking of the image of the sinking of the Indonesian warship, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but slowly amplify.
It's a good idea.
β¦β¦
The water cup that was originally placed on the desk was shattered by Suharto......, and Suharto was completely out of anger at this time.
Just now, he finished listening to Hassan Diro's Aceh Declaration of Independence.
Finished listening to Lonissa?? Gunatilga's account of the battle and his warning to the Indonesian government. It was all completely beyond his imagination.
That's a full 6,000-strong force (three battalions).
It also included two of the most elite armored regiments of the Indonesian army, which were defeated by a rabble, and thousands of people were captured?
It was as if he had heard a fantasy.
"Karsora, is this the army under your leadership, and it has been defeated so quickly and completely, you better give me a reasonable explanation. β
"Otherwise I'll shoot you. β
Suharto was almost roaring, and even when he heard that two gunships had been shot down, he did not expect that the government forces would be defeated.
But that's the cruel way it is.
Karsola was the commander-in-chief of the National Army, and at this time he was already sweating profusely, and he explained, how else could he explain it? The fact was that he was defeated.
"Mr. President, I don't think it's time to hold accountable. β
At this time, the vice president cautiously said: "The immediate priority is how to take Banda Aceh back from the hands of the rebels." β
"Hmph. β
Suharto glanced at Karsola coldly, now is indeed not the time to pursue it, but it is not easy to recapture Banda Aceh.
"What do you guys think?"
You look at me, I look at you, and finally the Minister of Defense sighed and said, "It's really tricky for the other side to have so many prisoners in their hands. β
"If we ignore the prisoners, it may cause dissatisfaction among the generals. β
Hearing this, Suharto's brows suddenly furrowed even deeper.
This point is indeed the most tricky, as the so-called rabbit died and the fox was sad, if they ignored the life and death of those thousands of soldiers, the army would definitely be dissatisfied.
He came to power through a military coup d'Γ©tat.
He has been able to stay in power for so many years, and he has relied on the support of the military, so he must take care of the mood of the army in this regard.
Otherwise, his position as president will not be stable, after all, he can coup d'Γ©tat, and so can others.
Moreover, behind thousands of soldiers are thousands of families, and behind thousands of families are countless families. That's what he had to think about.
If you are not careful, you can cause a riot.
"The order is repairing the troops supporting Banda Aceh in place, waiting for the next order. Those who have arrived in Banda Aceh are to build fortifications on the outskirts of the city. β
"In addition, the Western Fleet blockades the entire waters of Aceh. β
"We must cut off their arms supply and don't let me know who is supporting them, otherwise it will ......"
