Cui Haitao also felt the same way: "As long as half of it is transferred, we can eat the Japanese army on this island with superior forces." ”

"No way!" Zhou Lin said: "If you release half of it, the strength of the Japanese army that will counterattack us in the future will be very good, I mean that all the Japanese troops on this island will be eaten." Then we have a lot less pressure later. ”

Several people climbed on the map and watched, and suddenly, Zhou Lin looked at the Indonesian side, and he immediately had an idea in his heart.

"How many Indonesian soldiers did you bring with you?" Zhou Lin asked.

Chang Liang said: "I brought 5,000, and I didn't dare to bring more, after all, they are all compatriots in Indonesia, and I am afraid that something will happen." ”

Cui Haitao said: "I don't have Indonesian soldiers, I have 5,000 Malaysian soldiers, and these people are basically still under control. ”

Zhou Lin pointed to the map: "There are the most Indonesian people stationed here, there are more than 3,000 people, we surround him with 10,000 people, and then let the Indonesian people shout and disintegrate them, and if they are unwilling to surrender, they will destroy him." ”

"They will definitely ask the Japanese for help." Chang Liang was worried.

Zhou Lin pointed to a border between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea and said: "This is a canyon, which is the closest and fastest passage for the Japanese army to rescue the Indonesians. We bet on the Japanese army to support the Indonesians from land. ”

Cui Haitao said: "From the waterway, they spend the most time, because after landing, there are not eight hours to reach the rescue area. ”

In the end, a plan was made: Chang Liang led 10,000 men to besiege the Indonesians. Cui Haitao led 10,000 people to block the Japanese army in the canyon.

There were only 6,000 Japanese troops on the island, and it was estimated that only more than 3,000 could be rescued.

Then the Japanese troops remaining in Papua New Guinea were only about 3,000 people.

The remaining 10,000 men were led by Zhou Lin to attack the Japanese army on the island of Papua New Guinea.

After much deliberation, Zhou Lin approved the plan.

On April 22, 1945, Chang Liang and Cui Haitao's troops arrived.

After gathering the troops, they were divided into three routes, one route led by Chang Liang, and went straight to the Indonesian military camp on the island. Three hours later, they surrounded the Indonesian military camp on the island and had the Indonesian soldiers shout inside.

The commander of the Indonesian army organized three charges, but was repulsed by Chang Liang's troops, and more than 500 people were killed and wounded.

The Indonesians knew that the situation was not good, so they appealed to the Japanese army in Papua New Guinea for help, hoping that the Japanese army would save them.

After receiving the telegram, the commander of the Japanese brigade summoned the staff officers to study and analyze.

"This invading force should be Chang Liang's troops." A staff officer said.

The chief of staff also agreed: "Indonesia in Chang Liang's hands has not arrived here, because he is afraid of the imperial army, so he has not made a move." Now I finally can't help it. ”

After repeatedly asking the Indonesians, the brigade commander knew that Chang Liang had brought more than 10,000 people.

"Chang Liang's troops are less than 30,000 people, and these are the only ones who are really mobile." said the chief of staff.

In fact, they didn't know that after Chang Liang went to Indonesia, the original more than 30,000 Indonesian soldiers were taken under his command and stationed them on the front line of coastal defense, so that Chang Liang's troops were concentrated.

Moreover, Chang Liang recruited more than 15,000 Chinese into the army among the Chinese in Indonesia, so Chang Liang had more than 60,000 troops in his hands, including more than 36,000 Chinese.

The commander of the Japanese brigade, who did not know these circumstances, decided to eat Chang Liang's group.

Maybe after eating Chang Liang's more than 10,000 people, the imperial army can take advantage of the situation to counterattack the main island of Indonesia and retake Indonesia.

So, he ordered a wing to immediately march in the direction of Indonesia.

The rapid march is, of course, a fast ride, straight through, and can be reached in three or four hours.

Embarkation? They never thought it would take them four hours by car or ten hours by boat. Ten hours later, the Indonesians had already surrendered to Chang Liang.

In this way, a wing commander of the Japanese army came to the gorge with more than 3,000 people by car.

The vanguard of the Japanese army entered the canyon, and finally came a report that the canyon was safe.

Only then did the wing commander order the large army to advance immediately and get out of the canyon as soon as possible.

When they all entered the canyon, the gun in Cui Haitao's hand rang out.

Bullets from the hills on both sides flew towards the Japanese troops, and the road ahead collapsed, and it was impossible to advance.

Just as the wing commander ordered the front team to change into the rear team, hundreds of large stones flew down from the mountain behind, blocking the way of the Japanese army.

Seeing this, the wing commander immediately reported the situation to the brigade commander: "Chang Liang is not going to enter Indonesia, his goal is to eat us." ”

The brigade commander, having received a telegram from the wing commander, learned about the enemy's intentions.

He immediately reported to the division commander and asked for support.

The Japanese troops immediately sent planes to fly into the gorge, but they were fired at by the anti-aircraft machine guns of Cui Haitao's troops, and five Japanese planes immediately fell.

Because there were many Japanese field planes on the islands around the Solomons, Zhou Lin asked Cui Haitao to bring ten anti-aircraft machine guns.

The remaining two Japanese planes were so frightened that they quickly left the sky over the canyon.

At this time, the brigade commander suddenly felt panicked, there were not many Japanese troops on the island, and if someone came to attack, it would be very dangerous.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the troops sent to move closer to the island.

But less than a minute after his order was given, gunfire rang out on the island of Papua New Guinea, and Zhou Lin's 12,000 men began to attack.

Li 18 took a battalion of men and went straight to the Japanese brigade headquarters.

The encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the Japanese troops on the periphery of the island were eliminated.

Now only more than 3,000 Japanese troops are suppressed in the Japanese barracks.

Zhou Lin first sent 3,000 people to capture the Japanese airfield, and the Japanese troops inside, including the pilots, went to the underworld before they woke up.

The brigade commander of the Japanese army knew that the situation was not good, and he immediately asked the division commander for help.

The Japanese planes came again, but on Papua New Guinea, there were still five anti-aircraft machine guns in the shape of plum blossoms, blocking the Japanese planes, and as a result, the Japanese troops ran away again after losing three planes, and no planes came.

The first to settle the battle was Chang Liang's side, and when the Indonesians saw the fighting and the downing of planes over Papua New Guinea, they knew that their backstage was gone. The soldiers rebelled, they killed the senior officers and raised the white flag.

Chang Liang immediately ordered the surrendered army formation to concentrate in the barracks, which had no weapons.

Chang Liang's 5,000-strong troops carried out a great search on the island, and all those Indonesians who did not surrender or resisted were killed.

Within a few hours, more than five thousand Indonesians on the island were suppressed.

After the crackdown, calm was restored to the island, and Chang Liang was officially declared to have occupied the last piece of Indonesian territory.

The second to end the battle was in the canyon, where a wing of Japanese troops who had no way out, although they put up stubborn resistance, but it had no effect, and in the end, more than 3,000 Japanese troops were all killed.

After the battle, Cui Haitao immediately ordered: "Leave a thousand people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest will immediately go to support the young master." ”
