The fire disrupted the offensive of the Southeastern Army, and the various units and civilian workers retreated one after another, and only stopped when they retreated to the seaside stronghold.

After that, the Southeastern Army found the benefit, and the burned place became a bald mountain with no shelter.

The Southeastern Army simply stopped fighting, set fires everywhere, and lit the places that were not on fire, it is said that the Aceh area is big enough, but the southeastern soldiers have many strengths, and some are fire oil, and they are fanatical and devote themselves to the action of setting fire to the mountain, and the Acehnese are powerless to stop it!

You don't need to get close, you can pour oil and set fire from afar, which is easy and safe.

Ships passing by in the Straits of Malacca saw that the coastline was blazing with fire, whether day or night, and could be seen hundreds of miles away, and the ships used it as a navigation and used it as a large lighthouse.

A Dutch captain sighed: "Southeast Asia, we can never come back, we don't have so many Chinese, and we are not so ruthless!" ”

It wasn't until the rainy season that the fires were extinguished by the rains, by which time a third of the land had already turned black, and everything that was carried on it had turned to ashes!

Patches of ugly black spots everywhere, burned deer into the shape of dried corpses, I don't know how many animals were burned to death.

The fire was so fierce that many Acehnese were burned to death in the mountains, and their cities in the mountains could not escape, because the smoke could not dissipate, many Acehnese in a small mountain town died of suffocation in the smoke!

The remnants of the Acehnese were indignant, but more often than not!

The enemy is so powerful, and so ruthless, that although the people of Aceh are brave, they have a sense of powerlessness.

When the rainy season came, the people of Aceh had to brave the rain to go out to collect food, covered in mud and water, and the condition was extremely miserable.

Most of the savings of the past have been destroyed, there is no food left without looking for them, and many animals and plants have been killed by the fires, and the source of food is in danger.

And they have to be careful not to get close to the sea, the Southeast Army is still attacking, and if they are not careful, their lives will be in danger.

When the dry season comes, the Southeast Army will make a comeback!

There is simply no place to hide on the bare mountain, it is clear at a glance.

Where are there trees to hide?

Set it on fire!

One fire does not achieve two, and two fires do not achieve three!

Burn burn, burn the trees.

Beat and beat, kill the Acehnese!

The southeastern army encircled all places, and tens of thousands of people swarmed into an area, and opened fire when they saw the Acehnese.

As long as the devil hits them, everything will be all right for our army!

After the battle, many Acehnese people saw the southeastern army from a distance and hurriedly raised their hands.

Surrender!

Not only that, but the southeast army destroyed all the rice fields, dams, and other production resources it saw in the mountains; if it encountered villages, they would burn them all, and if they had property, they would take away whatever they could take, and throw away those who could not take it away, not to mention the personnel, and those who did not obey the order would be immediately killed, and those who obeyed the order would be taken away and sold.

The clerk in Wang Jia's regiment whispered to the others: "I think I have done all the bad things in my life in the army!" ”

But others replied to him with a generic answer: "They Acehnese are unlucky, but this is the will of Mazu Niangniang!" ”

At the end of the offensive of the Southeastern Army, a certain unwilling Aceh launched the final assault on the Wangjia regiment, and their personnel gathered together and charged forward with a decisive attitude!

The officers and soldiers on the defense line of the Southeastern Army were taken aback, not worried about their own safety, but because the cold did not stop, they saw the ragged people crawling out of the low bushes, these walking skeletons were really Aceh warriors? Their hair was long and dirty, and many were skinny.

The dangers of losing logistical supplies in war are clear at a glance!

Some of the men of the Aceh people were engaged in agricultural production, and more women were the workers, and in war, these people were the vulnerable group and died the fastest.

The Southeastern Army carried out a "total war", striking at the enemy in all directions, and all men and women could not escape, which seriously weakened the war strength of the Acehnese.

Needless to say, the Acehnese attack that day was a complete failure, and they were killed on the road before they even attacked in front of the officers and soldiers in the southeast!

The so-called aggression like fire refers to the speed of action, which is hopeless with the speed of those Acehnese.

The Wangjia Regiment once raided an Acehnese camp before dawn, and while the soldiers were approaching the camp, an Acehnese suddenly appeared.

The Southeastern Army suddenly stopped.

However, even if it is a group of people opposite, more than 30 meters away is a big target, and the other party is blind!

He turned back again, and the southeastern army advanced to a position close at hand, and when it was just daybreak, the raid was a great success.

After returning home, it was told as a joke, and the officers and soldiers understood what night blindness was!

The Southeastern Army was well supplied and well-nourished, and had never heard of any night blindness, while the people of Aceh did not have enough to eat, and the existence of night blindness was common.

The front of the Southeast Army in the mountains was quite stable, and the Southeast Army dispatched to clear out the Acehnese, sifting through various areas like a sieve, so that not a single Acehnese could slip through the net.

Every once in a while, you can return to a solid fortress to rest, heal, eat a hot meal, and regain your strength.

The food is good, the military industry has brought live sheep, live chickens and storable winter melons, pumpkins, loofahs, etc. to the troops, so that the officers and soldiers can eat well, the original big port of Aceh on the seaside has become an important base of the Southeast Army, the hospital there is very clean, equipped with very good medical personnel, with the same work efficiency as the medical institutions of the Rising Sun Port, the utilization rate of the hospital is very high, there are not many wounded who are directly wounded, more are fatal wounded by various tropical diseases, and the symptoms of patients who get sick due to mosquito bites are varied, Few people are immune to these diseases.

The senior officers of the Southeast Province are grateful for the good supply and medical system, otherwise they don't have to fight, and the Southeast Army will have to run away with their own baggage!

"Without Cinchona, we would not be able to send troops to attack the enemy, because the existing manpower would have to take care of the sick man!" So said one of the officers.

The cinchona was sent to the military medics, and the sick number of the pendulum could be treated without even being sent to a major hospital.

With the cinchona, the officers and men felt much more at ease.

The battered Acehnese are becoming more and more detached, and the ridiculous thing is that because of tropical diseases, they have lost even more troops!

There is no supply, insufficient nutrition, weak body and poor resistance, and the Acehnese are seriously ill, and they can't even send troops to attack!

They are arguing and at a loss!

On January 21, 1644, the Aceh royal court surrendered to the Southeastern Army in the Medan region of Sumatra.

With a red background, a crescent moon on top, plus a star, and a scimitar flag below, walked into history!

The officers looked at the Acehnese who were kneeling on the ground, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief!

This war has finally come to an end!

According to statistics, 527 soldiers were killed on the spot in this battle, that is, very few were killed by the Acehnese, 2,608 died of disease, and 13,072 people suffered from various fevers and strange diseases.

Fighting this war has its successes, and they are summarized one by one.

Tactics taken against the head;

The supply is strong and the medical care is excellent.

When the war entered the stalemate stage, the Southeast Army used more troops from Fujian Province and Liangguang, and they were more adapted to the local climate than the northern troops, thus ensuring the reduction of non-combat attrition.

After the battle for the islands, the officers said: "If you don't have enough cinchona, don't send troops!" ”
