Chapter 359: The Fall of the Sabah Country
The main ethnic groups in Sabah are the Qatari Sandushon, Payao and Maolu people, as well as the Malays, Chinese, and Bruneians.
The capital is Kota Kinabalu, and other major towns are Sandakan, Tawau, Nethi Bit, Pao Phau, Kuda, Semporna, Lahad Datu, Tuaran, Barpa, Sitpitan, Tannang, Lanna, Kedah Maurit, Wanlao, etc.
However, those places can only be regarded as towns at best, and a town with tens of thousands of inhabitants is considered good, and as for the army, there are not many regular ones.
"Division commander, what plan do you see for our attack on Kota Kinabalu." The chief of staff asked.
"Plan, I think it is best to use the strategy of direct and rapid attack on this kind of opponent who is not a threat at all, the staff will formulate a plan to take Kota Kinabalu as quickly as possible, and then divide the troops to clean up other towns, and we will take the entire Sabah country in the shortest possible time."
The siege of Kota Kinabalu began, and the best way to do this place without walls and any other fortifications was to rush forward and kill the enemy, and the troops were charged at the very beginning, and the fighters with automatic rifles were strafing at the enemy who was standing or lying down, disrupting the enemy's formation, rushing forward, and taking the so-called position.
At a certain position, the soldiers of the Huafu Army were hit by heavy machine guns and could not raise their heads.
"Company commander, the other side has a Maxim heavy machine gun."
"Then what are you doing in a daze, set up a mortar to bombard the damn, all the mortars of the squad are on, let these guys look at our small cannon, don't think that broken Maxim is powerful."
"Boom, boom, boom" After a dense burst of mortar shell explosions, the enemy's machine-gun positions were completely eliminated, and machine-gun parts were scattered all over the place. This Makqin is a rare heavy weapon in the Sabah army, and it has not played any role now, and it is dead.
"A battalion. You are responsible for Sabah knocking on the royal palace, the second battalion, you are responsible for guarding the perimeter of the royal palace, you can't let people go, you can't let other Sabah people attack, and the third battalion clears the periphery to participate in the enemy. Get started now. "The commander of the 601st Regiment worked out a plan to attack the royal city of Sabah in a very short time.
Kota Kinabalu has been completely controlled by the Hua Phuc Army, although the battle is a little chaotic and the plan is a little rough, but the effect is still good, mainly because the opponent is too weak and has no decent resistance at all, except for the sporadic resistance in the city, the last fortress is the Sabah Palace.
The King of Sabah stands inside the royal palace. Looking at the trembling wives and the hundreds of guards in the courtyard, there was only bitterness and fear left in my heart, and the more than 10,000 soldiers in the royal capital were wiped out after only two hours.
In fact, he didn't know that the real battle took less than half an hour, and the Huafu army used the most violent way to deal with these enemies without fortifications, first with a fierce artillery bombardment. After the enemy has not yet recovered from his senses, he will charge directly. Counting the time for planning and storming into Kota Kinabalu, it was only a little more than two hours.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" The Commander of the Praetorian Guard, standing below the king, asked.
"What else can I do, didn't you say that your fighters are the best fighters, how did you only hold out for a few hours and then collapsed." The king roared.
"The enemy is not a Brunei soldier, nor is it a Sarawak soldier. They had cannons, as powerful as the cannons on the battleships of the British, and each of them was armed with a machine gun, and our fighters simply did not have the power to fight back. The Commander of the Praetorian Guard explained.
"Enough, now is not the time to listen to your arguments. What do you say we should do, can we kill it? The king looked at the Janissary Commander with wistful eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid not, there are thousands of enemies outside the palace, and it is impossible for us to escape." The Janissary Commander bowed his head.
"Then I can only choose to surrender, you go and negotiate with Fu, I will go to keep the throne, I can hand over a part of the wealth and land, but their majesty guarantees my safety." The king still wants to live the same life of abundance and luxury as he used to live.
"I'll try." With that, the commander of the Praetorian Guard withdrew.
The palace city was erected, and Zhang Guangbei, the head of the 601 regiment, smiled, "This is admitted, it's really boring, I am also going to have a big drama to catch the king, and I will write it in my memoirs to show my children and grandchildren in the future, just say that I, Zhang Guangbei, am also the king of a country, how long my face is." ”
"Then what should we do, commander, don't accept surrender." The staff officer asked.
"Let the other party come over, anyway, it's all a turtle in the urn, listen to the conditions first, and then make plans." Zhang Guangbei said with a smile.
The commander of the Sabah Janissaries was released from the palace, and the Hua Fu army did not have the results to attack, and walked in front of Zhang Guangbei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard first bowed and greeted, and then the two communicated with an interpreter who understood the local language.
"I am the commander of the Sabah Janissaries, I can choose to surrender or I can order the troops in the rest of the country to give up resistance, but I am going to go to the safety of me and my family, and to keep my wealth."
Zhang Guangbei glanced at the dark-skinned guy and said, "Is your king inside?" ”
"Yes, he's in there." The Janissary Commander's eyes twinkled.
"Did he tell you to come out, or did you come out on your own?" Zhang Guangbei felt that this guy was not telling the truth.
"Yes, it was the king who told me to come out and surrender." The Commander of the Praetorian Guard chose to tell the truth, because now deception is an act of death.
"You came out only to say that you were ready to surrender, so what did your king ask you to come out for, you guy didn't tell the truth, come to me to play tricks, guards, tie up this guy for me, push him to the front and shoot him directly." Zhang Guangbei shouted.
"Please don't kill me, I don't want to die, I'll tell you the truth, it was our king who asked me to come out and surrender, and he said that if he kept his throne and personal safety, he could hand over a part of his wealth and land, which was his quid pro quo." The Commander of the Praetorian Guard hurriedly said loudly.
"Look at me and say that this guy didn't tell the truth," Zhang Guangbei said to the staff officer, "This guy ran out by himself, not to mention the conditions of their king, but to pick himself clean, this guy is also a villain, and he sold their king when he died." ”
The translator translated Zhang Guangbei's words as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, this guy's dark face was full of sweat, and his body trembled like chaff, he deceived the other party, and he probably wouldn't let himself go.
"Let him wait here, I'll contact the division commander, this matter needs to be decided by the division commander." Saying that, Zhang Guangbei went to the command car to contact the command center.
There was not much time, Zhang Guangbei came back, and said to the commander of the Sabah Praetorian Guard, "I think your mention is good, I can guarantee the safety of your family, as for you, before you do what we requested, you are safe, as for the future, it depends on your watch, if your work is good, maybe I can return your family property to you." ”
The Janissary Commander's eyes lit up, he could live, and they actually chose themselves.
In fact, after reporting the news that the king of Sabah was preparing to surrender, the people in the division also discussed it, and finally rejected the opinion of accepting the surrender of the king of Sabah, because although there are advantages to leaving the king of Sabah, there are more disadvantages, and Nanhua Guo does not want to bother with dealing with these guys in the future, so he still kills them once and for all.
Anyway, the king of Sabah is dead, and all the spoils still belong to Nanhua, so why accept his conditions and give back a part of it, dreaming.
And this Janissary Commander is of some use, it is no problem to issue a notice to control the scattered troops in the towns below, and he is a guy who can be used.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard hurriedly raised his chest and promised: "As long as the things you assign are guaranteed to be completed, I can directly order the troops below to surrender at that time, and I don't have to waste a single shot or bullet on you." ”
"It seems that you are also a sensible person, okay, now solve the problem at hand." Zhang Guangbei said.
"I'll take care of it, don't bother you, please wait for me for a while." With that, the Janissary Commander walked back to the palace.
Zhang Guangbei would not fully believe him, and ordered the troops: "Be prepared, if the enemy makes any abnormal moves, directly open fire." ”
The Huafu army was prepared outside, ready to be on guard for other situations in the enemy.
However, after the last ten minutes, fierce gunfire was heard in the palace, and it took a while for the gunfire to stop, and soon the palace gate opened, and the commander of the Janissaries walked out empty-handed with dozens of Sabah soldiers.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard walked up to Zhang Guangbei and said, "General, the king of Sabah has committed suicide, and his family has also committed suicide for the burial of His Majesty the king, and now no one here will resist, please take over the palace of Sabah." ”
Zhang Guangbei smiled, this guy is also a very good character, it seems that he will be optimistic about him in the future, "Very good, you can go down and rest, as for your soldiers, they will be locked up with other prisoners, don't worry that they will be killed, we in Nanhua will not torture and kill prisoners." ”
"By the way, there's one more thing I need to ask you." Zhang Guangbei asked.
"General, excuse me."
"Is there any treasure in the Sabah royal palace, and where is all the money in Sabah?" Zhang Guangbei asked.
"The treasury is directly managed by the king and the minister of finance, the treasury is in the city, this is easy to find, the king of Sabah also has his own treasury, which is in the underground storage room in the royal palace, but I heard that the king also has a secret treasury, where is the king's real treasury, the king's family has been stored there for decades, as for the location, I don't know."
The commander of the Praetorian Guard now had no way out, and told Zhang Guangbei everything he knew, in order to have a good example and not be unloaded and killed.
"Then who knows the location of the secret treasury." Hearing that there was a big treasure, Zhang Guangbei immediately became interested.
"Probably except for the king's majesty, he is the king's most trusted palace manager. But just now I really didn't see the palace manager, I don't know if I ran away. The commander of the Praetorian Guard said.
Even if you run into a rat hole, you will have to dig it out, that is a great treasure of Sabah. (To be continued......)
