On the day that Emperor Hirohito read out the instrument of surrender, Natuna Island Rangers Captain Wang Fei and Deputy Captain Ma Tianxiang led the militia on the island to suddenly attack the Japanese troops stationed on the island according to Li Delin's instructions. The www.biquge.info island had only one Japanese garrison squadron and two coastal patrol gunboats, with less than 200 men. The Japanese army was unprepared, and the Japanese garrison was wiped out in less than two days.

Although the Japanese troops defending the island sent a report to the headquarters of the Japanese South Sea Front in Malaysia for help, it was to no avail. Because the Japanese Nanyang Front had already received an order to surrender its base camp, it was impossible to send troops to support Natuna Island. However, the Japanese troops defending the island were very tenacious, and they all died in two days, and the militia on the island also paid the price of more than 100 casualties. After completing the task of taking control of Natuna Island, Li Delin received a telegram from Kalimantan, informing him that a secret fleet from the motherland would arrive soon.

Li Delin led the secret Einsatzgruppen to Natuna Island for three years, and under their organization, the immigrants on the island formed a whole in three years. Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, in the past four years, the trading group under the command of Gao Guoying, using the hands of the Japanese, has successively sent a large number of refugees to Natuna Island, with a total number of 50,000 people. The farmland and rubber plantations on the island belong to Hatoyama Co., Ltd. of Japan. In three years, a large amount of farmland has been cultivated and rubber trees have been planted all over the island.

But with the defeat and surrender of the Japanese Empire, all the fruits of the island became the spoils of war for Li Delin and the immigrants. Located between the Malay Peninsula and Kalimantan, Natuna Island includes the surrounding islands and consists of 272 islands with a total area of 2,110 square kilometers. Natuna Island is not a high altitude, with high temperatures and rainforests, and tropical rainforests all over the island. At present, the east and west ends of the island have initially formed a port market town on the basis of the original fishing village wharf.

In particular, the port of Nanping at the western end of the island has been able to berth about 3,000 tons of cargo ships. Natuna Island has changed hands, insignificant in the entire South Seas, and at present the British, Dutch, eyes on the Malay Peninsula, Kalimantan to, Sumatra. For the barren island of Natuna, no attention was paid to it at all. Before the war, the Portuguese exchanged the interests of the South American continent and obtained colonial power on the island of Natuna in the hands of the Dutch, but the war broke out before the Portuguese could develop the island.

The British were still strong at sea, and the Dutch were not far behind, and they were not in a position to regain the colonies. However, Portugal's maritime power was already in the red, and if it wanted to enter the South Seas to exercise colonial power over Natuna Island; I'm afraid we'll have to wait for time. Of the island's original 3,000 original inhabitants, 90 percent were of Chinese descent, so the new arrivals quickly merged with the original inhabitants to form a single entity.

In three years, Li Delin led the Einsatzgruppen to form a secret militia team of about 1,000 people. In addition, the young adults on the island have received secret military training to varying degrees, but they lack weapons. According to the time calculation, it is time for the fleet from the mainland to reach Natuna Island. On this day, men and women gathered at the port of Nanping to greet their relatives from the motherland. Everyone was in a very high spirit, and joy bloomed on their faces.

Eighty percent of the immigrants came from the north of the continent and suffered greatly from the war. When they heard the news of Japan's surrender, they all rejoiced. It stands to reason that they should return home, but there is no land for them back home. What is land? It's survival and hope. On the contrary, the new home has been cultivated under their hard sweat, and they have fallen in love with it and integrated into it. In addition, the care from their relatives in the motherland has given them greater hope and expectation.

"Lao Li, how big is the scale of the headquarters to support us, and what kind of leaders are the leaders sent?" Captain Wang Fei couldn't help but ask excitedly. "I don't know, when it comes to secrecy, the telegram is from Kalimantan." "I don't know what the situation is, but it's really itchy. Finally, when the war is over, we can go back to the mainland! Vice Captain Ma Tianxiang said happily. We can't go back, I'm afraid we're going to put down roots here! “

"Lao Li, didn't you say that if the Anti-Japanese War is won, we can go back?" Wang Fei was confused. "Actually, from the day we set foot on Natuna Island, we couldn't go back, that's what Kamimine said when I was ordered. I beg your pardon for telling you today! Li Delin was a little gloomy. Lao Li, it doesn't matter if the two of us are singles, but you have a wife and children, what should I do? "After so many years, I'm used to getting together less and leaving more, so let's let the organization arrange it!"

"It's coming! Here it comes! The fleet of the Motherland is coming! Someone shouted excitedly, and everyone looked at each other. The shadow of the fleet appeared on the sea, and suddenly the dock was full of joy, like a boiling ocean. Soon, the freighter docked at the dock, the soldiers began to go ashore, and people spontaneously greeted them, and the scene was moving. Xiao Ke shook hands with Li Delin, Wang Fei, and Ma Tianxiang cordially, greeted each other, and informed each other of the situation.

Due to the small capacity of the terminal, the ship continued to unload cargo until dark. In a spacious room in the port town of Nanping, Xiao Ke faced the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the order of the headquarters, I will be the supreme administrator of Natuna Island, and the official name of the mixed brigade is: Natuna Island Self-Defense Army, Zhu Ziqing will serve as the commander of the Self-Defense Army, and Yue Ming will serve as the deputy commander of the Self-Defense Army. In order to defend Natuna Island, our militia needs to be rapidly expanded. ”

"The militia will be expanded by 5,000 people, with Wang Fei as the leader of the militia column and Ma Tianxiang as the deputy commander of the militia column." Xiao Ke turned to Li Delin and said, "Mr. Li! According to the instructions of the headquarters, you will be appointed as the president of the overseas trading group and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, with full authority to manage the development of Nanyang industry and commerce. Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, we must cut off all open ties with the mainland and not openly retain any political overtones! ”

"Commander Lin, why is that?" Wang Fei couldn't help but ask. Xiao Ke said with a stern face: "This is related to China's long-term strategy, and our task is to get rid of colonial rule and build an independent country." I'm sorry guys, but that's all I can tell you. Next, we have to deal with the sinister external threats of the South Seas independently. Maybe we have to go to war with the colonists, and everyone should be mentally prepared. ”

"Commander Lin, we should return to the embrace of the motherland, which is the only way out!" Ma Tianxiang questioned. "Don't be cranky, the orders of the headquarters must be carried out to the letter. What is understood must be executed, and what is not understood must be executed. The next step to get rid of colonial rule is the top priority, and according to the information obtained by the headquarters, after the end of the war, the Nanyang countries will wake up to the call for getting rid of colonial rule and practicing national independence. ”

"I can tell you responsibly that no matter when and where, a strong motherland will be our strong backing, there is no doubt about that. We must seize this favorable opportunity to raise the slogan of independence and take the lead in setting off a wave of independence in Nanyang??????。 "The first step is to unify the mind, but it is impossible for Shook to reveal the true intentions of the headquarters. Xiao Ke's first step is to advocate the concept of Natuna Island's independence, and take the lead in raising the banner of national independence and autonomy in the South Seas.

After a night's rest, Shook went to the pier early in the morning to drop off Li Delin to Kalimantan Island. External sources confirmed that the Japanese army on Kalimantan Island had surrendered to the British army, and Li Delin had to go to the island to sort out the industries purchased before the war and lay out the layout in Nanyang in advance. The freighter on the dock was still unloading, Xiao Ke frowned and said: "Mr. Li, the scale of this wharf is too small, you have to find a way to expand the wharf as soon as possible and increase the throughput!" ”

"I'm anxious. Commander Lin, you don't have to worry about expanding the docks, but I want to know, how sure are you that you will defend Natuna Island and establish an independent country from colonial rule? "Frankly I'm not sure, but I'll give it my all." "Commander Lin, the headquarters sent you to sit in the town because of my trust in you, and I trust you too! This time I went to Kalimantan, I have to accept the instructions of the overseas trading group, I am afraid that I will not be able to return in a short time, and Natuna Island will be handed over to you! "I'll wait for you to come back, have a nice trip!" "Take care!"

The two shook hands, and Li Delin boarded a freighter. After the delivery ship was gone, Shook returned to the temporary headquarters at the docks. The walls of the headquarters are covered with maps, and several radio stations are also on standby. Zhu Ziqing and Yue Ming led the troops to deploy defenses on the island, and the current defensive measures are mainly on the big island, and the surrounding islands have no time to take care of it for the time being. In the next step, Portugal will definitely send troops to kick the island, and a battle is inevitable.

Schock was not worried about the Portuguese army, he was worried about how the British, the Dutch would do it. Looking at the map on the wall, how much Xiao Ke longed for Ouyang Jian's help, but it was impossible. At a time when intelligence is the top priority, and ignorance of the external situation is a taboo, Xiao Ke decides to go to Singapore to meet his father-in-law and his "wife" whom he has never met.
