First release the division commander, chief of staff, deputy division commander and others of the 2nd Division from the system. Then, according to the battle plan, the 1st Regiment was released, and the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment was responsible for occupying the Pontianak Governor's Residence, with Long Yi as the guide; The 2nd Battalion was responsible for occupying the tax office, with Ryuji as the guide; The 3rd Battalion occupies the police station and prison, with Ryuzo as a guide; The 4th Battalion is responsible for the security of the entire western part of Pontianak City, the regimental headquarters is stationed at the wharf, the Chacha Company is responsible for the security of the wharf area, and the regimental guard company is responsible for occupying the wharf tax office, and the regimental headquarters is located in the wharf tax office.

Since orders had been issued before, maps had been distributed, the route of the march had been checked, and there were a few good guides, and the people were very familiar with Pontianak City. The battalions advanced according to the predetermined goal, and there was no sound of speech, only the sound of neat footsteps and the sound of horses' hooves pulling horses. Under the silent night sky, the sound of footsteps could be heard far away, causing the dogs in Pontianak to bark occasionally.

The companies of the 4th Battalion also patrol and perform duties in accordance with the pre-determined range, resolutely eliminating all those who fish in troubled waters.

The 1st Battalion, led by Ryuichi, soon arrived at the Governor's Residence, at which time Gal was still asleep, unaware that his residence was surrounded.

The 1st Company of the 1st Battalion was responsible for the frontal attack, the 2nd Company and the 3rd Company were responsible for encircling the other 3 directions of the residence, and the 4th Company and the battalion headquarters were responsible for ensuring the security of the left and right sides of the 1 Tael.

Seeing that the gate was closed, the commander of the 1st company ordered: "Heavy machine gun squad"

"To"

"Set up your heavy machine gun, fire at the gate, and leave the gate wide open for me."

"Yes"

The heavy machine gun mount was placed, the MG34 general-purpose machine gun was placed on the gun mount, the locking mechanism was fixed, the trigger was pulled, and the whistling sound of the heavy machine gun sounded throughout Pontianak City, and after a drum was played, the wooden door had become a pile of sawdust.

"Brothers, follow me." The company commander rushed to the front of the line with his Garand M1 rifle, and the guard reconnaissance squad immediately followed, and the other members rushed into the official residence of the administrative officer.

According to the sketch of the interior of the mansion provided by James, the platoons rushed to their intended targets. There are 2 heavy machine guns pointed at the gate, and it is impossible for people to escape through the gate.

The company commander and the guard reconnaissance squad rushed directly to Gal's bedroom. Gal was awakened by the whistling of the heavy machine gun just now, and was panicking not knowing what was happening, the enemy had already rushed into his bedroom, this was not the time to be a good man, and immediately raised his hands, and Gar's wife trembled with fright, and wrapped her body tightly in the quilt.

The company commander tossed him Garr's clothes and motioned for him to put them on.

Gal is now very skeptical, which organization did these people come from? It's definitely not the guardian army of those soft egg organizations in the city, I can't understand what the other party says, the only thing that is certain is the Chinese spoken by the other party, is it the foreign aid introduced by these people? All their previous arrangements were just to confuse me? No, there is no such mighty Chinese army in the world. In any case, we still have to obey the arrangements of these people at present, or is it important to have a small life, and we must not anger these soldiers.

The 1st platoon is responsible for occupying warehouses; The 2nd platoon was responsible for tackling several of Garr's bodyguards; The 3rd platoon is responsible for cleaning up the housekeepers, servants, and servants; The mortar team and the heavy machine gun squad were outside the gate and were responsible for blocking the gate, and the baggage squad was responsible for guarding the baggage and covering the back of the heavy machine gun squad and blocking anyone who approached in this direction.

As for the Dutch, the battle order of the General Staff demanded that if they could be captured, they should be taken as much as possible, and this would be a bargaining chip if they negotiated with the Dutch in the future. So the 1st Company didn't do much killing.

The actions of the 2nd and 3rd battalions were not as perfect as those of the 1st battalion, and the targets they were responsible for were more or less guarded by some armed forces.

The tax bureau of the 2nd battalion attack, with 1 platoon of tax police on duty, was responsible for guarding the warehouse. The heavy machine guns of the 1st Battalion have already woken up these tax police, and if there is such a dense gunfire, then something big must have happened, so make preparations first and strive to save your own life. More than 30 tax policemen, dressed up, took up arms, looked for hidden positions, and prepared for battle.

The 2nd battalion first surrounded the tax bureau, and the battalion commander asked people to shout at the door, of course, in Chinese, and these soldiers did not know foreign languages, "You have been surrounded, surrender your guns and do not kill, and give preferential treatment to the prisoners, otherwise we will open fire, and you only have 3 minutes to think about it." “

When the platoon commander inside heard that it was Chinese, he was happy, when did these cowards dare to come to the tax bureau to make trouble, aren't they good enough to clean up at ordinary times? But the soldiers didn't think so, and they knew that there were hundreds of people outside by listening to the footsteps, and some time ago it was rumored that the Chinese were going to rebel, and they really rebelled. If you don't fight, you will lose the prestige of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but if you can save your life, you can't fight, and the prestige is still left to the Governor and Her Majesty.

So the soldiers saw that the platoon commander did not want to surrender, so they collectively pointed their guns at the platoon commander and arranged for one of the youngest to open the gate.

The 2nd battalion can be regarded as successfully receiving the tax office.

Finally, the 3rd Battalion, which attacked the police station, occupied the police station after paying the price of 1 dead and 3 wounded, killed 7 policemen, and the remaining 3 policemen surrendered, and the battalion commander was angry that they dared to fight back, and also caused casualties, and they would definitely be a laughing stock if they returned. So he directly ordered the 3 Dutch who surrendered to be shot, and he hated the undetermined people the most in his life, and the reason was very good.

By the time the 3rd Battalion and 4th Company arrived at the prison, the gate had already opened before they could shout. There are a total of 5 people guarding the prison, and they hear the dense gunfire outside, and they know that there are a lot of people coming when they hear the footsteps, so these 5 people have a rare unanimity, that is, to open the door to receive customers, and not to make indifferent sacrifices.

The most stressful tonight is the 4th Battalion, which was still making trouble when they were allowed to patrol, but now the battalion commander is smiling, and tonight's results are definitely second to none among the battalions. Hearing such a dense gunfire outside, the local natives guessed that their native army must have fought back, and this time was a good opportunity to make a fortune, and they could snatch a lot of good things from the Chinese homes every time. So there were a few natives on the street who dreamed of making a fortune, and the brothers of the 4th battalion were worried about how to open tonight, and there were food deliveries here. So a few gunshots rang out in the street from time to time, and the unlucky ones were those natives who had dreams of making a fortune.

According to the Chinese tradition, there is such a dense gunfire on the street at this time, it must be closed, don't come to harass us, how can you still go for a walk on the street, at this time, there must be no good goods, so the order given by the General Staff is that as long as it is not our soldiers, everyone on the street at this time can be killed.

On the morning of the 10th, the 4th Battalion was the leader, killing 2,953 people, which shows that the Pontianak natives have a fine tradition of robbery, and there are more than one people who have the dream of making a fortune.

Zhang Wei and others took a small speedboat to the east bank of Pontianak, put the remaining troops of the entire 2nd Division on the east bank, and went to occupy some small towns under Pontianak by the way. In the western part of Pontianak, it is enough to station 1 regiment of soldiers. On the east coast, there were a few small estates that James had previously bought, which were enough for the time being to house these soldiers.

Zhang Wei released Zheng Daoping, Lu Sifu, Li Minmin, Han Xin, Lu Weimin, Li Zhaoshui and others out of the system, and asked them to form the Lanfang government and the Lanfang General Staff, and the rest of the things would trouble them, Zhang Wei didn't want to show up for the time being.
