Chapter 8 Expansion of Base Areas

On the morning of August 4, after breakfast, Zhang Wei had already gathered with people from the staff and several company commanders. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Wei first felt uncomfortable, first, he hadn't taken a shower for 3 days, but he had big braids, sweated so much, and there were no good toiletries, which was very unclean. So first of all, it was proposed to build a large bathhouse, anyway, there are forests and trees around, there is no shortage of fuel for the time being, there is no shortage of water, and the water temperature does not need to be too high, this matter is arranged for the 1st company, and now the 1st company is responsible for supervising these indigenous labor, first build a bathhouse, and find a few half-old men to be responsible for cleaning and boiling water, anyway, they are idle and waste food; The second proposal is to cut off the long hair, now it is not in China, there is no need to keep long braids, it is not hygienic, it is more uncomfortable, and it is easy to bandage after injury, Zhang Wei's reason was quickly accepted, exchanged a few scissors, and let the soldiers cut themselves first, and take the lead themselves. In the morning, all the synths became bald, and because there was no suitable hairdresser, they simply cut their bald heads, which was really cool and relaxed.

In the afternoon, Fang Liang arranged for the translator to find a few guides, for whom they should provide good living treatment for their families, similar to the "traitors" of the previous dynasty. For these guides, they were allowed to go home to live, and Zhang Wei and them distributed food, because the previous home had been cleared, so they bought some bedding and furniture and other daily necessities to reward them.

In the morning, feeling that the soldiers were not enough, Zhang Wei exchanged the gold and silver in the system warehouse into points, leaving only some paper money, with a total score of more than 74,500 points, Zhang Wei asked Xiao Yuer to continue to synthesize soldiers, and then synthesize 6 companies.

In the afternoon, Staff Officer Fang and others reported to Zhang Wei the plan they had negotiated yesterday, and Zhang Wei looked at it and said: "Will the development in the direction of Kuching attract the dissatisfaction of the British, but now we can't annoy the British, the British are more difficult to deal with than the Dutch." ”

"Young master, let's only advance 30 kilometers in the direction of Kuching, and occupy the perimeter of Kombayin Town, it's still far from the border, and it won't attract the attention of the British." Fang Liang explained: "Young master, we don't have a navy at the moment, we can only occupy the inland, and when we have points, we will be able to occupy those prosperous places after the navy is unlocked, so bear with it for a few months." ”

Zhang Wei also understood this truth and didn't say anything anymore. Now there are 6 companies, and tomorrow they will be combined into 6 companies, so that there is no problem in occupying several surrounding towns and villages, and as long as the navy does not come, there is still no fear of the Dutch army on land. It was decided to occupy several surrounding townships starting tomorrow and to clear the indigenous people around the townships.

On the morning of August 5, the 1st and 2nd companies were left as the 1st Battalion, and the 12th Company, which had not yet been combined, was also assigned to the 1st Battalion, which was temporarily under the command of the staff group and was responsible for the protection of the town of Southko; The 3rd, 4th, and 5th companies were temporarily organized into the 2nd Battalion, which was to be commanded by a battalion commander, who was responsible for clearing the village from the town of Southasco to the town of Kombayin, and occupying the town, leaving all the natives behind; The 6th, 7th, and 8th companies were temporarily organized into the 3rd Battalion, which was to occupy the town of Cedars, then the 6th Company was stationed in the town of Cedars, the 7th Company cleared the surrounding villages, and the 8th Company cleared the villages on both sides of the road back to the city. Each company is assigned a staff officer who can speak Malay, one is to assist the company commander in planning, and the other is to act as an interpreter and talk to the locals.

Zhang Wei also said that no matter who meets the right girl, as long as he is willing to marry her, he can bring her back to marry, and her family can also come with her; Otherwise, it is not allowed to do anything that is immoral.

When you meet the Chinese people, you must protect them, and those who can speak Chinese must win them over, and if you don't obey, you must also eliminate them, and you can't leak the news now, and if you can keep it secret for a day, you can accumulate more strength.

The gold, silver and other valuables collected by each team are to be transported back to the town of Southako and exchanged for points.

After lunch, the 9th, 10th, and 11th companies were temporarily organized into the 4th Battalion and began to clear the indigenous villages around the town of Southco. In order to speed up, Zhang Wei followed the 9th Company, so that there was no need to transport heavy materials and could speed up the cleanup.

All the natives encountered on the road were annihilated, dug a pit on the spot and buried it, leaving no trace.

Under the guidance of the guide, the first village they arrived at was only more than 3 miles away from the town of Southco, and they should have heard the gunfire the day before yesterday, but it did not attract their attention, so they did not escape, which also facilitated Zhang Wei's clearance work, first surrounding the entire village, and then gradually encroaching on the village. Don't ask how fast it is, protect yourself as the premise, now the soldiers Shao, can not sacrifice without sacrifice, anyway, these natives do not have modern weapons, as long as they are not too close, in close combat, the aborigines' broadswords and spears will basically not cause casualties among the soldiers.

Since there is no danger, Zhang Wei also snatched a gun from the hands of the soldiers around him, ready to practice marksmanship, under the guidance of the soldiers, he knew what a bolt is, how to load the bullet, and finally fired the first shot after making preparations.

At this time, the natives didn't care about their parents, wives and children, and they ran lifeless in the village, ran from the east to the west, and the west was intercepted by troops, and they ran to the north, but they were still intercepted, and those with bad fate were killed by bullets.

The encirclement is gradually decreasing, these natives also know that they are surrounded, no matter how they shout for mercy, these people are indifferent, all the natives feel hopeless, some are kneeling and waiting for death to come, some are holding their children tightly, even if they are shot, they are not willing to close their eyes, they want to take another look at the world that makes him infinitely nostalgic, and they can no longer rob the manor of the Chinese, staring at his dead eyes, regretfully dying.

Some of them rose up and threw stones at attacking soldiers without weapons, and there was no threat at all. A young man threw a machete straight at the soldier closest to him, almost letting Zhang Wei sacrifice a soldier, which made the only remaining mercy in Zhang Wei's heart disappear without a trace, and also made Zhang Wei completely understand what it means to be a trapped beast.

This unsuspenseful battle lasted for half an hour.

For horses, carriages, etc., they were directly handed over to the baggage class for use, and all poultry and livestock such as pigs and chickens were killed and processed and stored in Zhang Wei's system warehouse. The grain is placed on the wagon, and outsiders can somewhat disguise the existence of the system warehouse. The other substances, even if it was an iron nail, were exchanged for the system, and the one that was looted was indescribably clean, as clean as being licked by a dog.

For the dead natives, they still dig pits, pour diesel fuel, burn them directly, and then bury the ashes.

Zhang Wei thought to himself that the treatment of these natives was still good, at least they were not like Zhang Wei's fellow villagers who were thrown into the wilderness.

By digging the pit by his own soldiers, he feels that he is really stupid, why can't he leave some natives to dig the pit? This is digging a cemetery for themselves, are they still not willing to dig a cemetery for themselves?

At first, Zhang Wei thought that the intensity of the war would be a little great, but he didn't expect it to be so simple, you think, Zhang Wei's troops are equipped with new rifles, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, melee pistols, bayonets, and the most common weapons of the local natives are kitchen knives and wooden sticks, and the huge gap between weapons makes Zhang Wei feel that the war is not a little intense, and it can't attract his attention at all.

Unless the natives are not in the village, they are all wiped out, and it is difficult for those who are not in the village to survive, and the surrounding roads have been blocked, and the probability of a single person surviving in the rainforest without roads is very small.

In the first village, a total of 520 indigenous people were wiped out, and the looted materials were exchanged for more than 2,500 points, and they were quite satisfied with this harvest.

In the second village, 380 natives were wiped out, and more than 1,300 cents were exchanged for supplies, which shows that the farther away from the township, the smaller and poorer the village.

That night, they rested in the second village, and in the afternoon they had to travel and fight, and the soldiers were also very tired. The main reason is that the local temperature is too high, the roads are difficult to walk, the roads between towns and villages can still drive horse-drawn carriages, and the roads between villages can only be pedestrians, and they are uneven.

That night, Zhang Wei checked the points, there were still more than 40,000 points left, and he felt that the harvest of the 2nd battalion should be good, and the 10th company and the 11th company should also have gains, because although the system is constantly synthesizing soldiers, but now the points are rising, which shows that those troops have annihilated many natives.

For the sake of points, revenge, and in order to fight for more living space for the Chinese nation in the future, Zhang Wei's order was to exterminate all the natives.

The next day, that is, on August 6, another day of clearing work, Zhang Wei felt that he was still too tired yesterday, and decided to pay 2 villages a day, one village in the morning, and one village in the afternoon.

The other battalions and companies also entered the combat state one after another, and the system points began to rise before the battle on this side began.

On the morning of 7 August, the 9th Company led by Zhang Wei wiped out another village, and Zhang Wei completely lost interest in clearing up the indigenous villages, and in the afternoon he led the troops back to the town of Southko, preparing to take turns to suppress bandits.

However, in the process of suppressing bandits, Zhang Wei felt that the strength of each battalion was a bit thin and there were no heavy weapons, so after discussing with Fang Liang, he added 1 company to each battalion. Anyway, now that the points are growing every day, I don't care about these points.
