(Third Update.) This book continues to be updated, please collect and recommend Sanjiang votes, thank you! )
The Dutch army concentrated 70,000 troops in the city and port of Pontianak, while the Huaxia army had less than 40,000 troops.
However, the weapons of the Huaxia Army were at least half a century ahead of the Dutch army, and the Huaxia Army also controlled all the ships and transport ships of the Dutch army, and the Dutch army had no way out.
The Dutch army has actually been surrounded by the Chinese army on all sides, if some people in the Dutch army have read the "Art of War", which is the crystallization of the great wisdom of China, they may also understand the truth of "putting death and then rebirth", but it is a pity that the Europeans of this era regard everything of the Chinese people as barbaric and ignorant and stupid, and will not consider using it.
Under the siege of the Huaxia army, in just one day and one night, the Dutch army first lost the port fort position, and the Huaxia army pulled out all the two 210-mm cannons and four 155-mm cannons that had been buried, and condescendingly bombarded the Dutch position.
All the ships on the sea also cooperated in firing at the Dutch army, although the hit was not very accurate, but it caused huge psychological pressure on the Dutch army.
After hearing the shocking news that the fleet and the transport fleet had been captured by the Huaxia army, the Dutch army suddenly lost all their fighting spirit and retreated to the main city of Pontianak.
The Huaxia army took the opportunity to attack in a big way, and annihilated the retreating Dutch troops one by one with brave interspersed divisions, greatly narrowing the encirclement of Pontianak.
At this time, the governor Dipol could only cower in the command post of Axon and was helpless, and Axon tried his best to dispatch the Dutch troops in various departments, blocking left and right, but in any case could not resist the attack of the Chinese army, the encirclement of the Chinese army became smaller and smaller, and the Dutch army was eaten by the Chinese army like eating sausage slices, and the number was getting smaller and smaller.
"Dear General Aksun!" Dipro used "dear" on Axon, he only used it on Tilis these days, and now he only thinks that Tilis is just a bunch of shit, and the veteran Axon is amiable and cute, he took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Let's break through!" ”
"Breakout? In which direction do we break through? Aksun, who had been busy directing the Dutch army to rush left and right, had not yet had time to think about it.
"We will break through to the north of Pontianak, which is the colony of England and the territory of the civilized world of Europe, and the barbarian Chinese will not dare to chase into the territory of the English!" In Diboer's mind, England is the world's most powerful country, the Chinese are lawless, but they must be afraid of England, if they run into the territory of the English, I don't know what to do in the future, but their lives are at least worry-free.
Akson stared back and forth at the map for a while, and then said in embarrassment: "After a day and a night of fierce fighting, my original army of 70,000 is now less than 50,000 troops left. ”
"When we still have 70,000 troops, we can't stop the attack of the Huaxia people, and now we have lost a third of our troops, how can we still stop the attack of the Huaxia people?" In terms of calculating the comparison of forces between the two sides, Diboer seems to be far clearer than Akson, who is very familiar with military affairs, in fact, this also shows that Diboer has no confidence in the face of the powerful Huaxia army at the moment.
In fact, judging from the course of the war, Dibor's decision, although not a little heroic, was completely correct.
"It is, but ......" At this point, it dawned on Axson why Dipole had become the governor, not he, who had served in the East Indies for almost his entire life, was the governor.
"But what? Now we ask the divisions to hold their positions for a day no matter what, and when it gets dark, we will begin to break through with elite white troops! ”
Dipole meant to leave behind the remnants of the 50,000 Dutch troops and quietly lead a small team to break through at night, originally he wanted to leave with a few guards, but he wanted to find a scapegoat for the failure of military command, a substitute who was qualified to replace him for the loss of 110,000 troops and the fleet on the gallows, so he thought that the most suitable person was Axson, the supreme military governor of the East Indies colony, so he proposed to escape with Axon.
Where did Akson know Dibor's thoughts at this moment, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Lord Governor, this plan is feasible, but in order to be more secure, we might as well command these 50,000 troops to break through in all directions, so that the Huaxia people can't figure out the main direction of our breakthrough!" ”
"Dear General Axon, this plan is very good, let's do it like this!" On the surface, Dipole seemed to agree with Axon's plan, but in his heart he thought: Hmph, you old ghost, I sold you, and you are still helping me count the money!
However, Dipole and Axson could never wait for a chance to break out after dark.
Six peculiar-looking steel guys came up from the Huaxia Army's position, with black smoke emitting from their buttocks and a loud roar, and the turret could rotate in a circle, and the turret was equipped with artillery barrels and heavy machine gun barrels.
When the soldiers of the Huaxia Army saw it, they surrounded them with a very curious uproar, and the gossip began.
"This whole body is loaded with iron armor and steel, what kind of artifact?"
"What artifact? It's a new mechanical weapon! Didn't you see the barrels of artillery and heavy machine guns on his back? ”
"Just like a ship is a mechanical weapon at sea, this guy is a mechanical weapon on land, which can defend against gunfire and walk quickly on its own."
"What's the name of this weapon?"
"The commander-in-chief just called this weapon a tank!"
"It's called a tank? How could the commander-in-chief use such an outlandish name? ”
"I don't know about this, it is said that it was originally a foreign translation name, but I don't know why the commander-in-chief used this name, and now everyone uses the name tank for him!"
"Military affairs are important, everyone hurry away, don't block the way of the tank!"
At this time, Liang Kunri, the commander of the second detachment, personally came to the side of the road to wait for the tank, and at his request, the curious soldiers dodged a way and let the tank pass.
Ordinary soldiers don't know the top-secret data of this tank, but Liang Kunri knows all the data of the Zhenhua tank, the first generation tank of the Huaxia Army:
The thickness of the armor is 22 mm, the weight of the car is 9.5 tons, the length of the car is 5.5 meters, the width of the car is 2 meters, the height of the car is 2.3 meters, the tracked march is adopted, the engine power is 80 horsepower, the maximum speed is 25 kilometers per hour, the maximum travel is 160 kilometers, the crew is three, the turret is rotated at 360 degrees, the main weapon is a 37 mm gun, 150 rounds of ammunition, the rate of fire of the gun is 8 rounds per minute, and a 7.92 mm coaxial heavy machine gun has 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
With the intervention of Hu Zhen and nuclear submarines, the first-generation tanks of the Chinese Army were far ahead of the first-generation British tanks that appeared in World War I in the 1910s.
After receiving the tank, Liang Kunri was very excited, and he immediately ran to Hu Zhen for instructions, asking for instructions to immediately put the tank into the first actual battle, and cooperate with his second detachment of infantry to break through the Dutch army's positional defense.
Hu Zhen received the news that the tanks had arrived at the front line, and without hesitation, he waved his hand and said: "This was originally intended to be used against the enemy, and it is approved to use tanks immediately, tear a hole in the Dutch defense line, and let the army rush into Pontianak City to annihilate all the Dutch troops!" ”
Always fighting with some indigenous and almost indigenous Dutch colonial troops on the wild island of Borneo, Hu Zhen also felt that it was not interesting, he was eager to immediately take the entire Borneo, carry out large-scale industrial construction, and then unify Greater China, and use more tank clusters to compete with European and American powers for dominance in the world.
