c_t; It didn't take long, the military situation ahead was already clear, and the Japanese Combined Fleet, mobilized a capital battleship, lined up in an arc in the waters of Kulo Harbor, launched a fierce artillery bombardment towards Kulogang, and did not give the Dutch authorities any chance to explain at all!

At this time, Hengdeli realized that this, this Japan had been planning for a long time, how long did it take, Japan mobilized so many warships, and launched a fierce artillery bombardment at the same time, without a long time of preparation, Japan would never dare to launch an attack on Java Island!

Hendry hurriedly ordered the Dutch army to assemble in Kulo Bay, and at the same time, the security artillery cooperated with the only three warships to launch a counterattack, and the two sides fought fiercely in Kulo Bay for a whole day.

At this time, Hengdeli completely gave up the illusion of ending the dispute with the kingdom and the European powers to put pressure on Japan, this Japan is simply desperate, more than a dozen warships, bombing the Kuro military port in turn, at this time the Kuro military port has been somewhat damaged, once it continues to fight like this, I don't know how many days the Dutch army here can hold on?

Hendry frowned, so he had to send urgent telegrams to the mainland, one after another, and in one afternoon, more than ten telegrams for help had been sent!

It's so urgent, no one thought that Japan would go to war without declaring it, and it's so arrogant, it's too unexpected!

All the Dutch garrisons did not expect that it would be difficult to cope with them because they were in a hurry, not to mention that now the Dutch garrison has more than 20,000 people, scattered on more than 20 major islands in the Java archipelago, and the largest number of troops on Java Island is only 8,000 people

Late the next night, under the cover of three warships, the Japanese troop carriers carrying the most elite Japanese 3rd Division sailed towards Geya Bay on the island of Java.

Under the cover of warships, groups of Japanese troops quietly landed in Geya Bay, and the first to go ashore was the 18th Wing, more than 2,000 people quickly completed the landing, carrying a part of the heavy equipment to quickly complete the occupation of the surrounding strategic heights, and then the Japanese troops of each wing began to land one after another.

By the time the Dutch army found out, the Japanese army had already completed the landing and completed the defensive deployment of Geya Bay, and the Dutch army battalion stationed in Shanghai Port saw the murderous Japanese army, and they were a little numb in fright, a brigade, which was an establishment of more than 6,000 people, almost caught up with all the Dutch troops in Java, as for how many troops there were behind, it was estimated that it would not be too little.

After receiving the information, the battalion commander of the Dutch battalion major, Ruguiy, hurriedly shouted: "Order, everyone immediately prepare for battle, and the artillery will rush to the front and launch an artillery bombardment towards Geya Bay!" Order, immediately send a telegram to the Governor, telling him that at least one brigade of Japanese troops has landed in the waters of Geya Bay, and there are still an unknown number of troops in the future, and the Governor should immediately order that the Dutch troops on the islands should assemble towards Java Island, otherwise, our Java Island will definitely not be able to hold it! ”

A group of artillery of the Dutch army immediately rushed in the direction of Geya Bay, and at the same time began to launch an artillery bombardment on the Japanese!

Now that the Japanese army has completed the deployment of the surrounding area, it is difficult to pose a serious threat to the Japanese army that is landing with only two heavy guns and six infantry guns.

In the third wing, the chief of staff Yoshio Nishikawa said to the second right of the wing commander: "Dongtian-kun, the Dutch army has discovered our landing operation, I suggest that the wing be launched immediately and launch an attack towards Shanggang, their strength is not much, at most less than a thousand people, let's press it up with superior forces, it won't take half a day to defeat it!" ”

Dongtian shook his head and replied: "In this matter, I want to ask Your Excellency the Green Regiment Leader, we are now fighting in another country, so we must be cautious!" ”

As he spoke, Dongtian came to the brigade headquarters, and just arrived at the headquarters, the order of the brigade commander Teki Songichi had also arrived, ordering the artillery squadron of the 18th Wing and the artillery squadron of the 19th Wing to return fire and advance towards the port, and the 19th Wing Cavalry Squadron and the 18th Cavalry Squadron bypassed the rear of the Dutch army, launched a surprise attack, and wiped out the Dutch army in one fell swoop

Dongtian hurriedly went down to give the order, an artillery company against an artillery team of the Dutch army, originally had an advantage in firepower, plus the Japanese army relied on the strength of the outnumber, and by virtue of the momentum of the first battle, in less than half an hour, the Dutch army was routed and began to retreat towards the port area.

It's just that at this time, they didn't expect that their base camp had been attacked by the Japanese cavalry.

Rujui had already made timely arrangements, but the strength of a battalion, and the plains or gentle mountains here were the most suitable for cavalry assaults, and two Japanese cavalry squadrons, more than 300 people, rushed forward from the left and right flanks, and rushed over like lightning.

The guards on the Dutch guard post soon discovered the arrival of the Japanese army.

The sound of horses' hooves shook the earth and came over, and the Dutch army first heard the sound and began to look at it suspiciously, and then the mountains and fields were full of cavalry, rushing towards the Dutch military camp.

The guards at the guard post changed their faces greatly, blew the spoon of vigilance, and a rapid whistle sounded, and the guards shouted: "Enemy attack, there is a Japanese attack, the whole army is on alert!" ”

It's just that the two heavy machine guns of the Dutch army have just been erected, and the Japanese cavalry has already arrived in front of them, and the powerful heavy machine gun fire has not had time to unfold, and the cavalry has broken through the fence of the barracks, and the saber in the hands of the Japanese army is clearly slashed towards the Dutch machine gunners!

The Dutch troops in the back also began to act nervously, but their speed, where can they catch up with the Japanese cavalry that has already rushed up, and the powerful cavalry impact is difficult to block even the city wall, let alone just an ordinary camp?

In just ten minutes, the Dutch army had been divided into several pieces by more than 300 cavalry, and it was difficult to take care of the end and the end, and Rujuyi had a long and deep knife wound on his face at this time, and his face was covered with blood.

The hideous-faced Rugui shouted: "Withdraw! Evacuate! Break through to the northeast with all your might! ”

A battalion of Dutch cavalry, with more than two hundred dead and wounded in less than two hours, broke out in a northeasterly direction, closest to the port of Courlo, from which Rugui attempted to break out in order to escape.

The successful landing of the Japanese army took less than a day for the main forces of a division to successfully land on the island of Java!
