Kalimantan Island, also known as Borneo, has a total area of 740,000 square kilometers and is the third largest island in the world. Located in the middle of the Dutch Islands in Southeast Asia, the island is bordered by the Luzon province of Seris to the east and Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula to the west. In addition, the island is also rich in natural resources, and as far as Chen Zeyu is concerned, he knows how amazing Brunei's oil deposits will be in the future, even for this reason alone, he has not let go of the Dutch.

After the capture of Batavia and Pontianak, the Dutch rule in the Indonesian archipelago colony had gradually fallen into a state of chaos, and in addition to the island of Sumatra, which was still under their control, the eastern islands of Kalimantan, Java and Bangka had completely lost contact with the Dutch Governor's Palace, which they had established temporarily in Sumatra.

……

July 31, 1899, off the coast of the port of Kirabalu in the north of Kalimantan.

The midday sun illuminated the blue sea, and in the South China Sea, not far from the port of Kirabalu, a fleet of Seris was cruising in a neat formation......

"Captain, are we going to keep spending it here?"

On the Luzon-class battleship "Xiangshan" in the fleet, the gun chief Wang Ming asked very unwillingly.

A total of three warships of the South China Sea Fleet were dispatched this time, and as fledglings who had just graduated from the domestic naval academy not long ago, they were all on their first mission, but they did not expect that they would just let their detachment keep shelling the batteries in the port of Kirabalu here.

"What's the matter, you still want to change careers to become an army?"

Captain Cheng Daye held binoculars in both hands and looked at the situation of the port not far away, and said without looking back.

"Don't worry, our mission this time is to attract the opponent's forces in Kalimantan in the north and cover the landing of the 34th Division in the Sandakan area."

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "Hey, I just think it's a waste, just how many Dutch troops can there be in this broken port, captain!" If I see that a company of Marines can definitely take it down. ”

"Don't brag nonsense, the intelligence officers have already reported the specific strength of the other party's concentration here, there are not many, more than 2,000 people, but it is not something that your company can easily take down......" Cheng Daye glanced at him and replied, "You can stay on the ship with peace of mind!" ”

The gunner, Wang Ming, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, raised the glasses on his chest and looked at the port of Kira Baru, which was about to turn into ruins not far away......

This time the mission was not bad, and several Dutch batteries had been dumbfounded by the artillery fire of their own fleet.

Not to mention the six 305mm/32 caliber giant naval guns equipped on the battleship "Xiangshan," the flagship of the squadron to which he belongs, the several twin 255mm caliber guns possessed by the two Taiwan-class cruisers alone are also not easy to mess with, and the average lethality of their single shells has reached a radius of more than 30 meters. Moreover, the range of the firepower of their own fleet reached an astonishing 10 kilometers, far exceeding the range of the main guns of other navies of this era, let alone the old smoothbore guns in the Dutch port.

However, a small rifled cannon in the port of Kirabalu could still pose a considerable threat to his own fleet, and the fleet commander Cheng Daye knew that it would be unwise to let the warships fight against these Dutch shore guns hidden in the fortified fortress, so he has been directing his fleet to cruise outside the limit range of the Dutch artillery, playing a boring "long-range target game".

The detachment of these three Seris warships was always out of range of the harbor's batteries, and their actions had made the Dutch defenders in the port of Kirabalu a little more at ease, but after they discovered the range of the horrific naval guns of the opposing fleet, they no longer thought about it, and the continuous fires in the harbor began to erode the officers and soldiers of the Dutch colonial army hiding in the coastal fortifications.

……

As several batteries were destroyed by Seris's guns, Andrei, the current commander of the Dutch colonial army in the fortress, began to feel more and more uneasy.

In fact, the most fatal thing is not the enemy's artillery strike, but the cut off of their own logistical supplies, and now, the sea supremacy in the entire South China Sea has long been completely controlled by Seris's navy. Under the tight naval blockade of the other side, not only is the communication information blocked, but the logistics supply in the port has also fallen into a very tight situation......

"Boom-" With a few dull cannon sounds on the sea, another battery not far from Andrey was reduced to ruins again.

I don't know when the Chinese, who were originally bullied by their Western colonizers, have become so powerful that they are so "rampant and domineering". While there were still a large number of sail hybrid ships in their own colonial navy, the opposing navy had already commissioned a large number of new ironclad steam warships. Since the appearance of these warships in Kirabalu, all shipping and trade in the port have been completely cut off by the other side.

Fortunately, reinforcements from Daraja and Kuching had arrived not far away, and although the strength was still limited, after concentrating these battalions of infantry, Andrei believed that it was still possible to prevent the opposing marines from coming ashore.

"Now that the port has a defense force of more than 2,000 people, I think the port of Kirabalu should be safe." Andrei muttered to himself that for the poor Dutch, whose territory was small, the island's troops were already desperate.

Unbeknownst to the poor Dutchman commander, while he was leading his army to resist here, Seris's other two armies had already landed from the eastern and western ports of Kalimantan, and were now crushing towards the central part of Kalimantan......

Thanks to centuries of hard work by the Dutch colonists, several Dutch colonial strongholds in the western part of Kalimantan have a relatively well-developed road system. For this reason, Seris's army had been advancing rapidly since its landing, and the slight dense waterway along the way seemed to be a slight spice on the way of the Republican army, and the troops of the 3401st Brigade of the 34th Integrated Division rushed all the way to various targets on the marching map. Along the way, they also encountered many local indigenous tribes, and the ruthless officers and soldiers of the Republic showed no mercy to these indigenous accomplices who had played the role of massacre of Chinese immigrants in the past, and sent them to hell with bullets and bayonets.

In the past many years, Chinese immigrants living in Borneo have been oppressed by these dogs, and there are even many animals who are used to slaughtering human flesh, in addition, rape of Chinese women is also common in the local area, and all kinds of experiences are terrible. For these local indigenous tribes who have planted hatred, Chen Zeyu has already issued an unprecedented "purge order", and as the army of the Republic marches all the way, all the local tribes along the way have been reduced to ruins.

To deal with the natives is to use guns to talk to them. Especially these Nanyang natives whose hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese, they are our feuds, enemies! We want to completely eliminate them mentally and physically, in addition to hatred between each other, the Chinese also need more living space, and there is no room for compromise on both sides. The more you kill, the more you get, and the more space the Chinese have to live! Everything in the world, survival of the fittest, in Darwin's evolutionary jungle, we can only fight our way out, there is no other way!

For a long time, most of these troops stationed in the Sizhejiang Military Region in Luzon Province were originally formed by the sons and daughters of local Nanyang origin, and their elders have told them about the history of Chinese immigrants in these Indonesian islands in the past. For these small, obscene natives of the Dutch and Indian Islands, the grassroots commanders of the landing forces gave an order with only one word - "Kill!" ”

During the march, the Seris soldiers in the army all looked cold, like stones holding the steel guns in their hands and kept moving forward, the difference was that each of their soldiers had red eyes, and many local Chinese immigrants who led the way bowed their heads slightly, and some did not dare to meet the gaze of these Seris soldiers.

There was no need for orders from their superiors along the way, and the search and reconnaissance team of the front team had already habitually opened fire on their own, and with the crisp 90-style gunshots, one by one the filthy natives fell into the mud screaming.

In this way, Seris's landing force marched all the way to its destination, walking in the blood of the local natives.

If you dare to offend my strong man, you will be punished even if you are far away! The Chinese have never forgotten hatred, and the next moment this anger bursts out, all the enemies will become a wisp of smoke in the long river of history......
