On the afternoon of December 8, Li Mengran, the commander of the 1st Division, led the 1st Division to Mandor, and after resting for one day, the troops marched to Shankou Yang in the early morning of the 10th. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info was really lucky that night, the weather was clear, the moonlight was bright, and it was very suitable for night marching.

In order to ensure that the troops had combat effectiveness during the day, Division Commander Li did not ask the troops to march in a hurry, but marched at a normal pace, advancing about 6 miles per hour, and at 7 o'clock in the morning, the troops advanced more than 40 miles, that is, one-third of the whole journey. After marching for 7 hours in a row, it's time to rest, drink some water, eat something, and replenish your strength.

Half an hour later, Li Mengran ordered the troops to be led by the deputy division commander and chief of staff, and he would lead the 1st Regiment to advance urgently. The troops will not carry artillery, heavy machine guns will also be transported by the baggage team, no baggage soldiers and other auxiliary arms, heavy weapons will only carry mortars, because they are carried by horses, and the walking speed is relatively fast. Bring only 1 meal of dry food and 1 canned luncheon meat. The slogan of the division commander is, kill to Yamaguchiyo, and have dinner in Yamaguchiyo.

The first regiment marched lightly, and the speed was obviously much faster, and it had to march more than 10 miles per hour on average, and it was still certain that it would be able to reach Yamaguchi before 4 p.m.

As for the rest of the troops, it will be enough to arrive this evening.

Li Mengran asked the reconnaissance company of the 1st Regiment to go first, and when he encountered the local natives, he tried to solve it on the spot, and if he could, he would not shoot without shooting, and he could not let the whereabouts of this unit be leaked.

At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the division commander asked him to rest for half an hour, drink some water, and by the way, get rid of the dry food, and save the luncheon meat for the afternoon. The reconnaissance platoon and guard platoon of each battalion were responsible for the guard, and the rest of the personnel rested. By this time, they had already walked nearly 50 miles, and the soldiers were indeed tired, so this point of rest was just right, and in half an hour these young men would be alive again.

There is still a 30-mile journey from Yamaguchiyang, and the task is very difficult.

At half past two o'clock in the afternoon, five miles away from the destination, Master Li asked everyone to continue to rest for half an hour and dry up all the luncheon meat. At the same time, a meeting of the battalion commanders and the battalion chiefs of staff was convened to arrange tasks.

The map used to be given by the Ministry of Intelligence was used, and the places to be occupied and the marching routes were already marked on the map, and after arriving at Yamaguchiyo, local intelligence officers were responsible for leading the way.

Yamaguchiyo is also a big city, and the Dutch also set up three departments here: the administrative officer, the tax officer, and the police station, and the first thing to do is to occupy these three places, and the regimental headquarters is responsible for occupying the official residence of the administrative officer, the 1st battalion occupies the tax office, and the 2nd battalion occupies the police station and prison; 3 battalions patrol to maintain law and order and ban patrol points; The 4th Battalion was responsible for capturing Dutch merchants and Dutchmen, who would be used as bargaining chips in future negotiations with the Dutch government.

For so many troops rushing to Yamaguchi Yang City, the administrative officer quickly got the news, now he is at a loss, he can't escape, this is still far from the sea, even if you escape to the coast there is no boat, it is impossible to escape, the troops are coming from the south, there is no way, the administrative officer has to choose to wait in the official residence, hoping that it is a blessing rather than a curse.

The battalions followed their predetermined route, and the speed was very fast, and if they encountered a riotous aborigine on the road, they were determined to shoot and exterminate them.

The gunshots were fired one after another, so that Yamaguchi was completely confused, the people on the street rushed to their homes, and the shops were also closed urgently, but fortunately, it was Sunday, only the Chinese shops were open, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

At the beginning, the natives thought that there were compatriots robbing the Chinese, so they took advantage of the situation to join the ranks of the rebellion, and many shops that closed late were robbed by the natives. The 3rd Battalion, which was in charge of patrolling, immediately shot and killed the natives who were not at the scene of the robbery, but carried large bags and small bags. The cries of the natives begging for mercy and the sound of gunfire made the quiet city boil.

The Chinese were trembling in the house, and the natives were complacent in the streets, ready to rob, and of course this was in a place where the People's Army had not yet reached.

Where the People's Army arrived, the local natives saw that these soldiers really dared to shoot, and they were frightened to throw down the looted materials and start to run for their lives, only hating their father and mother for missing 2 legs, but how could they run faster than the speed of bullets? For a single native, it is a rifle to serve, and for a multi-person robbery squad, it is directly a light machine gun greeting.

Feeling that there was some chaos in the urban area, the division commander ordered someone to send an order to the 4th Battalion to assist the 3rd Battalion in stabilizing the order of the city before going to the mission.

When the regimental headquarters arrived at the administrative officer's residence, the administrative officer had already opened the door and was waiting, and it turned out that the translators of each battalion were concentrated in the division headquarters during the reorganization, and this time they were able to communicate with the administrative officer.

When the administrative officer learned from the translator that this was the Lan Fang People's Army, he was frightened and immediately sat on the ground, if other resistance organizations could say that they were captured, they would also negotiate with the Dutch government to redeem themselves. Lanfang and the Netherlands are enemies of life and death, it was their own Dutch country that destroyed the Lanfang country, and now that they are back, can they bypass themselves?

Without further ado, the guard company began to set up a cordon and guard the residence, and the reconnaissance company began to gather people into one room, and then began to loot the private wealth of the magistrate. The official residence of the administrative officer was temporarily used as the headquarters of the division, and now Yamaguchi is under military control.

Both the 1st and 2nd Battalions met with slight resistance when occupying the tax and police stations, respectively, but fortunately there were no casualties. The huge generation difference in weapons has made these tax police and police completely give up the idea of resisting, and the personnel on the other side are dozens of times that of their own side. Imagine that it is also true, sending a battalion of nearly 1,000 people to occupy a police station and a tax bureau that are not even a platoon of people, is this not clear and bullying? When they completely saw that the other party had so many light machine guns and more than 10 small cannons, the faces of these policemen and tax policemen also relaxed, as if a big stone in their hearts had finally landed, fortunately, fortunately, they did not resist, and they surrendered in time, otherwise they would not be able to die with a whole corpse.

Many soldiers scolded their mothers angrily, why did they surrender without resistance, why are they so spineless, if they hold on for a while, Lao Tzu will be able to open meat today, and he will be busy in vain.

Since there are no barracks here, these places will be arranged for soldiers to stay for the time being. Ordering these tax police and policemen to clean up and tidy up the houses as soon as possible, it is not a problem for these offices to be stationed at a regimental headquarters.

In addition, all the schools were requisitioned and temporarily used as military camps.

After stabilizing the order on the street, the 4th Battalion also began to clean up the local Dutch merchants, and there were already local intelligence officers as guides, and the speed of cleaning was still very fast, and each platoon was responsible for cleaning up one family, which had the feeling of bullying. The Dutch and their servants were all thrown into prison, and the houses and property were all owned by the KPA.

In the evening, at 8 o'clock, the follow-up troops arrived one after another, and the staff officers of the regimental headquarters here had already arranged the places where the regiments and battalions needed to be stationed, and this time they occupied so many Dutch houses and estates, and also requisitioned all the schools, and arranged more than enough accommodation for these 20,000 people, but the garrisons were relatively scattered.

Division Commander Li Mengran was also relieved, and completed the task assigned by the General Staff Headquarters, and tomorrow he could announce the military management of Yamaguchiyang City, and at the same time arrange for the 4th Regiment to occupy Sanfa City, but he still had to send a telegram to the General Staff Headquarters, apply for warship protection, and block the Sanfa open sea and river. I'm really tired today, let's take a bath and rest first, tomorrow's things will be done tomorrow, I believe these Dutch pigs can't make any waves.
