While Hu Zhen was arranging the big chess game, Dipole and Axson personally commanded 70,000 Dutch troops to board the convoy and go east around the south of Borneo under the escort of the naval fleet.

Major General Coster commanded 40,000 horses to stay in the Pontianak and Dong Wanlu areas to wait for an opportunity.

Less than a day after Governor Dipole and Lieutenant General Akson commanded the main Dutch army to leave the port of Pontianak when Major General Coster received a report of an attack on the garrison in the defense area.

At first, Coaster ignored the plan established by Governor Dipole and Lieutenant General Axon, and only waited for more Huaxia troops to fall into the trap laid before he led his army to kill and deal a fatal blow to the Huaxia army. But I didn't expect that these Huaxia troops were very tricky, but they attacked the Dutch army behind the periphery, and they withdrew as soon as they got into the attack, and they didn't get into the trap at all.

As the Dutch army was unable to seize the Huaxia army, the attacks became more and more numerous and larger, and in less than two days, 33 attacks were launched, killing and wounding six or seven hundred Dutch soldiers.

This made Major General Coster so angry that he stomped his feet and jumped up and shouted: "We must immediately send 30,000 troops to the rescue!" ”

Some of Coaster's subordinates stood up to dissuade them: "Your Excellency, but the plan of the Governor and General Axon is not arranged like this, we must not attack casually!" ”

Hearing his subordinates say this, Coaster was even more hoarse: "Now that the situation has changed, we can't wait here stupidly, what's the difference between that and waiting for death?" We need to act now and take the initiative to attack the enemy! ”

The subordinate didn't say anything, but said, "Do you want to send someone to tell the Governor and General Axon?" ”

The subordinate didn't say that it was okay, but said that he would report to a higher officer, which annoyed Coaster, and he said heavily: "Your Excellency the Governor and General Axon are on the ship, how can we send someone to tell them?" Do you want to tell me when you go to the toilet to? ”

Hearing Coaster say this, the subordinate was finally speechless and had to say nothing.

In fact, before the main force of the Dutch army set off for eastern Borneo, Lieutenant General Akson told him to be careful of the deception of the Chinese army, but Major General Coster had never been in contact with the Chinese army, and he did not know the strength of the Chinese army, so he was very unimpressed. The Huaxia army came to provoke, but after a round, he couldn't stand it and abandoned the established arrangement and sent troops.

However, when sending troops, Kautes was still a little worried about the safety of the rear road, and only concentrated 25,000 men and horses to expel the sneak attack of the Huaxia army.

The sneak attack of the Huaxia army was very slippery, and as soon as the Dutch army set out, they immediately retracted their heads and disappeared without a trace, and the more than 25,000 Dutch troops could not even see a shadow.

However, when this Coaster sent out a search team, he encountered ambushes one after another, and lost four or five hundred people in half a day.

After venting his might, Coaster calmed down, believing that the reason why the Huaxia army wanted to carry out such an undignified sneak attack and did not put up a dignified decisive battle was the reason for the lack of troops, after all, in his military dictionary, any sneak attack was the act of cowards.

"The enemy's forces are insufficient? Did they all go to the east? ”

Coaster's heart moved, he wondered if he could lead the minister to drive straight into the central part of Borneo to take the lair of the Huaxia army? Although this is a bit of a risky move, but if you end the lair of the Huaxia Army, it can also be a very good credit, Lieutenant General Akson should have retired a long time ago, but he dominates the pit and does not, if he makes a great contribution, is there a great chance to replace this old immortal?

Thinking of this, Coaster decided that he would personally lead his troops to the east to pursue the sneak attack of the Huaxia army.

The 25,000 Dutch troops, under the command of Coster, did not even bring heavy weapons such as cannons, and rolled away from the defensive positions to the east.

The Dutch soldiers are all dressed in red military uniforms, and if you can look down from the air at this time, you can see that the Dutch army is like a long red snake, stretched into a length of more than ten kilometers, moving step by step from west to east.

"The Dutch army has finally been fooled and left their positions to attack!"

The outpost scouts of the Huaxia Army, who were closely watching the Dutch army, reported the number of Dutch troops, the armament of weapons, and the speed of action to the headquarters of the Huaxia Army by telegram.

Hu Zhen was waiting for this moment at the headquarters of the Huaxia Army, and after receiving this intelligence summary, he immediately ordered: "Order all departments to go out according to the plan to surround and annihilate the 25,000 Dutch troops!" ”

After receiving this order, for a while, tens of thousands of Huaxia troops who were ambushed in the vast jungle rushed out together.

At this time, Coaster's 25,000-strong army had left the garrison area more than 60 kilometers, and its forward was the first to encounter a fierce attack from the Huaxia army.

Under the intense fire of rifle volleys, light and heavy machine guns, recoilless guns, and mortars, the Dutch advance was crushed to pieces with only one shot.

Amid the earth-shattering gunfire, Coaster was taken aback by the blazing firepower, and finally understood why his colleague Lieutenant Colonel Vian, Major General Whitekin, had disappeared into the jungles of Borneo.

Coster hurriedly ordered the forward to shrink quickly, and the rest of the troops immediately formed positions on the spot, intending to converge with the forward and then retreat after defeating the onslaught of the Chinese army.

However, the Huaxia Army, which had already been launched, did not give him any chance at all.

During the fierce siege of the Dutch army's front, several Huaxia army assault troops swarmed from both sides, quickly entered the Dutch army's marching formation, and divided the Dutch army's more than ten kilometers long march into several sections like a dead snake.

Coaster ordered his subordinates to resist in horror, but his subordinates only relied on some single-shot rifles, in front of the powerful firepower of the Huaxia army, that bit of combat power could only be a scum, where could it block the fierce attack of the Huaxia army's three-dimensional firepower, and watched the Huaxia army annihilate their own army piece by piece.

When Coaster ordered him to turn around and flee in desperation, more than 20,000 Dutch soldiers found that the back of their buttocks had already been cut off by the Huaxia army.

Coaster only understood at this time that the Huaxia Army was going to put him and the 25,000 army to death, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but no matter how frantically he commanded his subordinates to rush east and west, he couldn't break out of the net laid by the Huaxia army.

In the face of the devastating onslaught of the Chinese army, the arrogant white officers, seeing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, used many kinds of infantry single fire projection weapons that they had never seen before, and obviously they had organized the indigenous soldiers to form a phalanx of rifle salvos, but as long as the Chinese army rushed over and fired a volley of guns, the mature rifle salvo phalanx handed down in the Napoleonic era was instantly broken apart.
