Chapter 176 There are crimes
In the military headquarters of Kuala Lumpur, the commander-in-chief, Xu Lin, was issuing an order to set up a defensive position on the section from Daro to Bukit Tinggi, fifty miles east of the city, to block the enemy on the eastern front. On the Western Front, a little further on, the defensive line was set up in Singumao, preventing the enemy from continuing to advance and threatening Kualombo.
By this time, a large number of troops had arrived from Borneo, and Kualombo had gathered 10,000 regular troops and 20,000 mercenaries.
As for other areas, there are also troops secretly landing, the number of which is unknown.
The Borneo army in the defensive positions on the front line intercepted the Malay soldiers who had fled from the front line, and sent a group of mercenaries to manage them, and temporarily reorganized them into an army.
The front-line command arranged this improvised patchwork army to the forefront, forming several lines of defense, almost dense to a kilometer of defensive positions.
"Listen to me, at this time when the country is in danger, Kualombo is in danger, and everyone must sacrifice their lives to kill the enemy.
We must protect Kualombo from encroachment, which is a symbol of the country and cannot fall into the hands of the Tai army.
In this battle, the position must be held, and the army cannot take a step back.
In previous wars, responsibility for defeat could not be held accountable, but from now on, no one should be held responsible.
Anyone who is greedy for life and afraid of death and leaves the position without authorization will be killed!
There is still a position behind you, and without the order of the commander, those who disobey the order and leave the position without permission are criminals of the state.
Even fleeing back is a dead end, there are still positions behind you, and their guns are not decorations, and they will shoot you mercilessly.
Therefore, instead of being greedy for life and afraid of death and being shot, it is better to face the invaders bravely, and you can also gain the respect of the people.
Fight, we will be with the country! ”
This move is ruthless, all the defense lines can be seen, if it collapses without a fight, the bullets in the rear position are not a joke, and it is not negotiable to kill you.
These reorganized armies, their commanders are all mercenary soldiers, all ruthless, and there is no expression on their cold faces.
What is killing gods, this time the Malay soldiers really understood it.
In the army that had retreated from the front, some high-ranking officers were still a little arrogant when they saw that they had been intercepted, assuming their identities.
Do division commanders and regiment commanders have a high status?
Okay, don't provoke you, the front command is about to convene a meeting, you guys go.
The divisional and regimental level left, and then, the officers at the company and battalion level were also called up, went to the place where they should go, held a meeting in the name of beauty, and were detained when they arrived at the ground.
The charges are very easy to list, afraid of the enemy in battle, fleeing without a fight, greedy for life and afraid of death......
In the face of the reorganized Malay army soldiers, the Kualombo front command read out the charges of these people, and the following is a mass killing.
Officers at the division and regimental level were killed individually, and those mercenary soldiers were killed differently.
Some people raise their hands to shoot a shot, and the result is the life of the criminal.
Some are different, holding the hair with their hands and reaching out to wipe off the other party's neck, and the blood is spilling far away, so it's not terrifying.
There are also people who are even more special, and with a fierce force of both hands, they twisted the other party's neck.
The fate of the junior officers was better, and they concentrated and fired directly from machine guns.
This is the rhythm of the Great Purge!
Taking advantage of this opportunity to dismantle the original command system of the army at once, and all the rest are soldiers, it will be much easier to master.
These improvised Malay armies were set up in the first two lines, and the last line of defense was the mercenary position.
The Malay soldiers are 10,000 unwilling in their hearts, and the current situation is not at all helpless, so they can only pray in their hearts.
I regret it, I might as well continue to flee south, maybe I can still live, but now, it's too late to say anything, even if I want to run, there is nowhere to run.
If you don't fight, you will die, and you will have a good reputation if you sacrifice your life for the country, so let's do it.
There was no noise on the position except for the sound of trenches being dug.
It turned out that these mercenaries were worthless in the eyes of the Han Kingdom, but they had experienced the wars of Feidao and Borneo, and suffered nearly 10,000 casualties at once.
Moreover, during the war, it was found that this group of people was indeed very capable of fighting, and they were all veterans who had been tested by several years of war.
Although the quality of the soldiers of the Han Kingdom was very high, and the intensity of the training was also very high, it was training after all, not a battlefield.
Based on battlefield experience alone, the Han soldiers were not able to beat the horse.
Therefore, now the Han Kingdom has also begun to cherish the lives of these mercenaries, after all, there are very few such battlefield veterans after them.
As a result, these Malay routs became cannon fodder.
The Kualombo defensive line is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the front-line command has also transferred anti-aircraft weapons to the front line.
The so-called anti-aircraft weapons are just some anti-aircraft guns.
However, the anti-aircraft guns were not arranged in a conventional way, but were scattered in the field, with at most one or two anti-aircraft guns leaning together, and most of them were arranged with one anti-aircraft gun more than ten meters away.
The anti-aircraft guns were also concealed, covered with a green net, which was still difficult to spot in the air.
This arrangement was designed to deal with the strikes of the Taiguo fighters, and even if they were detected, they would lose only one anti-aircraft gun when attacked.
Before the Taiguo army arrives here, all preparations here are over, and the big war is coming.
In the rear, Marlo in the city of Kualombo is organizing the Han people who have not yet escaped, and has set up a wartime security brigade, a war logistics support brigade, and a field medical organization.
The provisional government also hired some local Han Chinese, after all, things were very messy, and the locals were familiar with the situation, and the things they handed over were also quick and convenient.
In the original government agency, some people fled, but not all of them fled, and there were always some people left.
Now we are counting the number of people and registering the specific list, so that we can settle accounts after the fall.
When the war ended, he casually committed a crime and killed something.
When the country is in crisis, you, as a government official, do not share the worries of the country, but only think about running for your own life, what is the nature of this?
Special policies will be adopted during special periods, and you will be killed without negotiation.
As for the rest of the staff, there are a lot of things to do in the city, so just arrange a role and send it aside to get busy.
The Provisional Government is quietly changing the original government institutions and imperceptibly cleansing the government.
In the process, some people are dissatisfied and want to quietly escape from the city.
However, this is not the same as before, and the security brigade in the city is not a decoration, and it is a capital crime to catch those who escape.
Everything stems from war, and all the reasons are correct, even high-sounding.
After a series of purges, order became orderly in the city, and war began to break out on the front line.
