The indigenous soldiers below were terrified and frightened in the face of Huang Tongtong's large tomb, and Whitekin had no good way but to ask the soldiers to backfill the excavated tombs, so he coldly ordered: "Keep going!" ”

Starting from this tomb, but in half a day, the front soldiers picked up a lot of pieces of paper and bark with red words written on the ground, most of the indigenous soldiers did not understand what was written on it, but they saw the bloody red on it and made people's hearts jump, and hurriedly sent it to the white officer.

When the white officer saw that it was in Dutch, he did not dare to linger for a moment in his hand, and immediately sent it to Whitekin.

When Whitekin took it to him, he saw what it said: "Damnation will be upon the Dutch who dare to invade Borneo!" Slogans such as "The Dutch get out of the East Indies", "Down with the Dutch colonists", "The Vian infantry regiment has been wiped out, and the new invaders must die".

Whitekin looked at it and shook his head, he had heard many vicious curses from the natives, but he had never taken it seriously, what was the use of this swearing without strength?

But to Whitekin's surprise, there was a sign that took him by surprise with the words "Whitekin. Major General Bieler, it's too late for you to turn back now."

"How did these natives know that I had come with my troops this time!"

Whitekin was full of doubts, and he couldn't figure out what was wrong, and he was shocked that the enemy actually knew his name and rank. But after thinking about it, it didn't come to fruition, so he simply didn't think about it, jumped up and ordered his subordinates to strengthen the search, no matter who was pretending to be a ghost, he would lead his 8,000 army to trample it under his feet and beat it to ashes.

Unbeknownst to Whitekin, some of his soldiers knew some Dutch script, and quietly spread the content of the slogan among the soldiers.

"Vian. Lieutenant Colonel Trey's infantry regiment was wiped out? ”

"yes, don't you see the piles of graves?"

"What kind of person is it, why is it so powerful, so that more than 2,000 people died all at once?"

"I don't know, I heard that they are all some Chinese people!"

"Huaxia? Didn't the Lanfang Republic be destroyed, and the rest surrendered? ”

"There are a lot of magical things about these Chinese people, everyone should be careful later!"

I heard that it was the movement made by the Huaxia people, and the indigenous soldiers left a shadow in their hearts, and everyone had their own little calculations, thinking that if they encountered the attack of the Huaxia people, they would resist it for a while, and if they couldn't resist it, they would quickly roll the ball and escape.

The white officers noticed the situation of the soldiers below and quickly disinfected them with whips, curses, beatings, and drives.

So the indigenous soldiers stopped talking, but in their hearts they were even more suspicious.

The Dutch brigade continued to advance.

A day later, Whitekin, who was in the middle of the group, suddenly heard a rapid and dense gunfire coming from ahead.

Whitekin hurriedly ordered: "Stop, the whole army stops, and start a battle formation on the spot!" ”

In fact, without Whitekin's order, the indigenous soldiers who were afraid of death would have already taken out single-shot rifles to reload and pointed their guns at the side of the road, and some even opened fire when they saw something suspicious in the jungle.

For a time, the whole road was filled with gunfire, and an overly nervous white officer ordered the artillery to hurriedly set up the cannon and fire fiercely into the jungle on the side of the road, causing the cannon to rumble and the smoke to roll, but not a single enemy was defeated.

Seeing the chaos of his subordinates wasting such ammunition, Whitekin was so angry that he stomped his feet and shouted: "Stop, stop, don't fire indiscriminately!" ”

It took a while for Whitekin to stabilize the group, but the gunfire in front of him also stopped, and dozens of sentinels rushed back in quick succession, most of them either shot or injured.

"Report, report to the general, the front, the front found the enemy position!"

"Enemy position?"

Whitekin himself ran to the front to take a look, only to see that the trees and grass of a hill on the side of the road had all been cut down and dug up, and dug into a yellow earth.

Whitekin looked back and forth with his binoculars, but could not see the details of the Yellow Clay position, which he had never seen in his career, and he could not remember which country's army would build such a position, so he decided to launch a tentative attack to see what was going on.

The Dutch soldiers of the two companies rushed forward, and when they saw that they were approaching the opponent's position for thirty meters, the other side suddenly opened fire, and the dense gunfire rang out, and the bullets flew like a torrential rain, knocking over dozens of Dutch troops at once.

The Dutch counterattacked, but the enemy hid in their positions and could not see anyone, let alone aim and fire, and Whitekin quickly ordered the remnants of the Dutch soldiers to shrink back in disgrace.

Between the positions of the two sides, only a large body and bright red blood remained, and there were twenty or thirty Dutch soldiers who were still screaming and crawling after being seriously wounded, which made people feel miserable.

"These natives really have a hand, the digging positions are very special, and the sound of those guns shooting is also very special, no country is equipped with them now?" After thirty-seven years of military service, Whitekin immediately saw that he was famous, but he didn't think it was his opponent either: "Can such positions and guns withstand my artillery?" Shoot me hard! ”

Whitekin's greatest skill in dealing with the armed rebellion of the natives was to bombard himself with his superior artillery fire, and then charge with the infantry, and he had never missed a battle before the inferior armed natives, and today, he decided to repeat his old trick and take the enemy position on the opposite side.

This time, Whitekin's 8,000 men carried 36 artillery pieces, all of which were capable of firing explosive grenades.

"We just let the enemy set up artillery positions to bombard us?"

"Are the Dutch shells solid or will they open fire?"

"What about our artillery, why didn't we fire them so quickly?"

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army in the position saw that the Dutch army was arranging artillery positions in a hurry, and many people raised questions.

In fact, this was Hu Zhen's special arrangement, and he hoped that after this battle, the five detachments would grow rapidly and become the real five main forces of the Huaxia Army.

The officers of the five detachments below Ouyang Yu went into the trenches to pacify, especially those recruits, and they needed more help to make them mature faster.

"Don't worry, what we dug is an anti-artillery position, this kind of small-caliber artillery shells hit, as long as the luck is not very bad, there is no!"

"As long as we hide in the anti-artillery fortifications, it's okay. I tried it when I was fighting the Achitto bandits in Qingyan Village! ”

"Not under enemy shelling, not a real soldier!"

Boom, boom, 36 Dutch artillery pieces opened fire fiercely at the positions of the Huaxia Army.

The shells fell on the mound of soil in the position, setting off countless columns of soot and loess.

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army, lying in the position of the anti-artillery fortifications, felt that the earth trembled every time the shell exploded, and the dust and gunpowder smoke in the air choked people coughing.
