Two hundred Pontianak

The commander of the Pontianak garrison, Iwao Sandbar, was an out-and-out murderer, not only killing a large number of Chinese during the Japanese occupation of Kalimantan, but also escorting many prisoners of war and laborers to Daragan to open mines.

The year before last, this guy didn't know what was crazy, and under the pretext that the Dutch Haga and his community were going to rebel, so he raised a butcher's knife, the Dutch, kill, the Chinese leader, kill, and the indigenous officials he supported, also killed!

For a time, the entire Borneo Prefecture was full of people, talking about ghosts, and if a big Pontianak city was killed by him, it was an empty city!

Few people dare to stay in the city anymore, and the common people would rather live in the countryside than stay in the dead city every day.

At present, the only unit of the Japanese army in Borneo is most of Masayo Baba's 37th Division, which has just arrived from Yangon.

This 37th Division has experienced many wars in China, from the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in Jinnan, the Battle of Eastern Henan, the Battle of Guiliu, and finally entered Burma, which can be said to have been fought from north to south.

However, Lieutenant General Masaro Baba is not having a good time now, first of all, most of his troops are deployed in the northeast, because there are oil fields in places such as Tarakan and Balikpapan, and he also has to deal with the Brunei side.

Although Lieutenant General Maba behaved gently and virtuously when he arrived in Borneo, Halsi was still a little worried about her, and dispatched a large number of planes to bomb several airports in places such as Tarakan and Balikpapan.

The backyard could finally stop the fire, and Halsey completely mastered the air supremacy, so he settled down and went out 1,200 planes a day to bomb the Philippines indiscriminately.

The lieutenant general of the horse farm cried loudly, there were many soldiers in his hands, but everyone ignored him. The 226th and 227th Wings and the 37th Independent Artillery Wing were left on land, while his 225th Wing and the 22nd Special Base Service Support Team of the Navy (the name is so long) were in Pontianak and Yamaguchiyang.

Naturally, there were not a single ocean-going ships in Borneo, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf had completely broken the backbone of the Japanese Navy, and even the ribs were broken. I can't save face at all.

There are also two old destroyers in the bay, a dozen gunboats that usually bully the people, and of course, a single suicide boat is a must-have, and there are twenty-five of them. As for Yamaguchi, there are also a dozen or so suicide boats there.

The devils of this wing in Pontianak City, plus the gendarmerie, even if you count the engineers, are less than 4,000 people.

Since Kane still wants to use the durian port airport in the south of the city, he just sent a few planes to blow up the airport runway and no longer waste troops.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the peninsular fleet cruised off Pontianak, and twenty-four landing craft, protected by two destroyers, kitchen knives and axes, attacked the beach.

Overhead, twelve planes were monitoring the movement of the devil's artillery, Kane didn't go to bomb the port, that thing was difficult to build, and he still wanted to use it.

He set the landing point at the mouth of the Capuas River, ten kilometers south of the port, which was all flat and sandy anyway. It's the same from where you land.

This was not expected by the Japanese army, and after they saw the landing ship preparing to go ashore at the mouth of the river, the two small 820 ships, Sanae and Hanetake, drove frantically south with a large group of bomb boats.

Kane wanted to laugh when he saw it, he wanted to be dominant with two 127 single-barreled guns, six 40 anti-aircraft guns, and eight 25 guns, and he didn't take seagulls too seriously, right?

Without his order, Yu Dawei took off with 48 seagulls. His goal is not only these two small ships, but also the dozen or so small gunboats on the sea, ready to eat them all.

Twenty-four planes took turns to dive into the two destroyers, and without much effort, two near-misses hit the Sanae. The hull was obviously old, and the pressure could not be maintained, and the pressure from the two near-miss bombs suddenly squeezed out the steel plates on the side side, and soon saw that the Sanae began to roll sideways.

In the second wave of attack, four planes hit the Yuzhu, and the smoke covered the firing range of the anti-aircraft guns, and soon, two shells weighing 250 kg each blew the small drive through a large hole, and the No. 1 turret exploded, causing the ammunition below to detonate, and the eyes sank.

The other planes began to find trouble with the small gunboat, just like an air show, the two planes hedged left and right, and the anti-aircraft gunners on the gunboat were busy to death, and the 40 anti-aircraft guns kept turning left and right in his hands, but no one hit them, only to see a bomb fall overhead, and the huge wave set off by the bow of the "boom" overturned the small boat at once.

Within five minutes of playing, none of these small gunboats weighing one or two hundred tons were floating on the surface of the sea again.

It is not possible to hit the suicide boat with an airplane, if it were not for the track behind them, the pilot would not have been able to see them at all, and if he dived, he would probably have plunged into the sea himself.

Yu Dawei had no choice but to hand over this glorious task to Li Chengming's armed helicopter to complete.

Dozens of helicopters were dispatched together, and even the transport helicopter carried a heavy machine gun and hovered in the air.

After a while, dozens of suicide boats were all diverted, and the huge waves on the sea even affected the balance of the landing ships.

Finally, the twenty-four landing ships stopped on the beach together, and as soon as the big mouth in front was opened, Yang Shen's tanks drove out one after another, followed by armored vehicle detachments and artillery detachments.

Nearly 100 vehicles, led by several mine-sweeping tanks, moved forward rapidly.

"Boom, boom, boom" The water columns on the sea surface were blown up, and the anti-submarine helicopter discovered an I-class submarine that was about to come over to make trouble, and then threw the deep bombs it was carrying into the sea one by one.

Not long after, the oil splashed, and Li Chengming was about to order a nearby plane to drop a bomb, but it turned out that the little devil had floated.

"What the hell do devils want to surrender?" Lao Li began to doubt his life.

As a result, the submarine really stretched out the white flag, and after Li Chengming reported to Kane, he hurriedly sent someone to rappel by helicopter.

After more than 20 sailors entered the boat, they found that the situation was not optimistic, and there were water leaks in several places, that is, the submarine could not go ashore for a short time.

Dozens of little devils lined up on the destroyer, and Kane learned that there was a first mate named Shuichi Morita who was from the Anti-War League, and he and the second mate killed the captain, and then led people to surrender.

Kane was happy to have a submarine, but now he had to put this aside for now, and the landing craft had already begun to release people.

The partisan soldiers descended from the second floor to the first floor and followed the armored units ashore. Overhead, there are groups of planes flying by, although the scale is not large, but there is also a sense of momentum.

There are no devils to come out to block the attack, it seems that they want to fight in the streets, and the 225th Wing Captain Mu Ye Xiongtai is understandable to do this, there are not many soldiers in the first place, and they were sent to the field to bomb the plane, and they were disabled in a few minutes.

The armored troops rumbled out of the city, where there were no walls. A large river divided Pontianak into two cities, the north and the south, and even after the troops took the southern city, they had to cross the river to capture the northern city. It is estimated that the other party must have gathered a large number of troops in Beicheng, just waiting for the half-crossing to attack.

The Chinese guerrillas were equipped with melee weapons, and Pontianak City had always been relatively wealthy in the past, so the houses in the city were all high-walled and deep courtyards, plus the small western-style buildings like fortresses built by the Dutch in the past, this battle was not easy to fight!
