451 The extermination of the Chinese
For Pontianak and Jakarta, the loss of sea supremacy almost meant the loss of a qiΔ, because neither Pontianak nor Jakarta had the capacity for military production compared to the Chinese Empire itself.
Pontianak entered the arms of the Chinese Empire in February 16, and Jakarta was occupied by Lin Fei in August, Lin Fei did not have a long time in these places, and did not establish military factories in these places, so the weapons and ammunition in these places could only be transported from the rear, but now the Chinese Empire has lost the right to control the sea, which means that once the defenders of Pontianak and Jakarta run out of ammunition, they can only fight with the enemy with bayonets.
It is unrealistic to compete with the British and French forces for sea supremacy, even if the crusade against the Japanese fleet is brought back, it will be useless, and the transfer of that fleet back will also allow Japan and the Qing to join forces to attack Taiwan.
At this time, Lin Fei could only hope that the defenders of Pontianak and Jakarta would block the attack of the French army and the British army, but could the defenders in these two places be able to block the attack of the French army and the British army?
On December 22, the defenders of Pontianak sent back a message: "The French army has broken through the three lines of defense of our army by using the tactics of crowd warfare, and now the French army is only three kilometers away from Pontianak City, and the city defense is in danger, and I hope that the rear will immediately send people to support." β
Along with the situation of the battle, there were also detailed information about the French army, which stated that the French army had a total of 200,000 people, of which there were less than 10,000 French soldiers, and the rest were all Vietnamese soldiers...
Vietnam was at this time a colony of France, and the French were recruited from the colonies.
The Vietnamese soldiers were much more ferocious than the French soldiers, and when they launched a charge, they often had their upper bodies and sharp knives in their hands, and they rushed forward and rushed against the corpses of the people in front of them, as if they did not know what death was.
The defenders of Pontianak had veterans who had participated in the defense of Taiwan, and according to them, the ferocity of the Vietnamese soldiers was completely comparable to that of the Japanese army...
Lin Fei was furious when he saw the news, and the Vietnamese actually came out, in my time, the Vietnamese were the least things...
After the victory in World War II, in order to drive out the French invaders and the American invaders, Vietnam launched the War of Resistance against France and the War of Resistance against the United States; in both wars, China gave Vietnam the most selfless assistance, and the Chinese leader even solemnly declared: "China of 9.6 million square kilometers is Vietnam's general rear, and the one billion Chinese are the strong backing of the Vietnamese people." β
Countless Chinese entered Vietnam and worked as consultants, coaches, and engineers for the Vietnamese, and even countless PLA soldiers directly took off their military uniforms and changed into Vietnamese uniforms to help the Vietnamese fight.
The Chinese even gave rice that they were reluctant to eat to the Vietnamese, and weapons that they were reluctant to use to the Vietnamese, but what did these get in exchange?
Only a few years later, the Vietnamese turned their guns on Chinese, eating Chinese rice, holding Chinese guns, using Chinese bullets, slaughtering Chinese with the numbers of Chinese military factories engraved on the guns that killed Chinese......
In the era when Lin Fei lived, the Vietnamese invaded Chinese islands, stole Chinese oil, arrested Chinese fishermen, and committed countless evil deeds...
In this era, the Vietnamese and the French were in the same boat, and the wolf bèi was a traitor, and they attacked the Chinese Empire together...
Lin Fei raised his fist, slammed it on the table, and scolded: "Damn Vietnamese, sooner or later, one day Lao Tzu will clean you up..."
The closest place to Pontianak is Ma Chen, Ma Chen has a land connection to Pontianak, and Ma Chen also has a land connection to Zhurong City, Lin Fei instantly came up with a route to transport supplies, that is, to transport weapons and ammunition from the local factory to Zhurong City, and then from land to Pontianak.
Although this route is relatively far, it is not threatened by the enemy navy, after all, the distance from Zhurong City to Pontianak is relatively far, and it is difficult for the British and French fleets to catch up.
Lin Fei had just conveyed the order, and Jakarta sent another message, which made Lin Fei's whole body shocked... At 10 p.m. on December 21, the British arrived on the outskirts of Jakarta and were engaged in a fierce battle with the Jakarta defenders.
Lin Fei looked at his watch, it was already ten o'clock in the morning of December 22, twelve hours had passed, I didn't know what the battle situation in Jakarta was, Lin Fei hurriedly called Xiyun to ask, Xiyun at this time seemed to be Lin Fei's personal secretary, Lin Fei asked her anything.
Xiyun hurriedly ran to the intelligence department to ask, and came back to tell SΓΉ Lin Fei: "I don't know, Jakarta's communication has been cut off..."
Lin Fei was taken aback, the communication between Jakarta and Dayu City relied on submarine cables, and the location of the submarine cables was top-secret, and it was impossible for the British to know that the communication interruption could not have been caused by the submarine cables being cut, and the only explanation was only one...... Jakarta fell, and the British, or rather the Anglo-Indonesian coalition, occupied Jakarta, cutting off the lines of communication...
Xiyun had an idea and said, "Semarang and our connection is still there, Semarang should know about the situation in Jakarta, so I will go to Semarang to inquire about the situation." β
Lin Fei nodded lightly, Xiyun ran out quickly, ran back in a short time, and said in a panic: "Semarang sent news, according to the Chinese who escaped from Jakarta, Jakarta has fallen in the early hours of this morning, and the British and Indonesian coalition forces have launched a massacre of the Chinese in the city, and it is ...... It's ......"
"What is it?" Lin Fei asked anxiously.
"It's a genocidal massacre..."
Lin Fei exclaimed in surprise: "What is the genocide massacre? β
"In history, it is very common to slaughter the city after breaking through the enemy's city, but the purpose of the massacre is to rob property and women, killing people is not the main purpose, this time the British and Indonesians, the main purpose is to kill people, they carried out indiscriminate massacres of the Chinese, regardless of men, women and children, everyone was killed, the purpose was to completely exterminate the Chinese..."
The British and Indonesians not only wanted to destroy the Chinese Empire, but also wanted the Chinese to be exterminated... Lin Fei's face turned pale in an instant, surrounded by huge anger, and he wanted to immediately drive his own expedition to rescue the Chinese, but it was completely unrealistic.
Lin Fei felt a burst of distress and self-blame, tears almost flowed, and Xiyun had no choice but to remain silent.
Lin Fei thought for a moment and said: "Immediately order the troops of Voss City to reinforce Semarang, the British army has taken Jakarta, the next target must be Semarang, we can't let Semarang fall anymore no matter what..."
Xiyun asked worriedly, "If you send reinforcements, who will escort the troop carriers?" Wouldn't it be dangerous to have no escort fleet? β
Lin Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the British fleet now?" β
Xiyun shook his head, "I don't know, there is no information on the British fleet recently, and no one knows where they are." β
Lin Fei frowned, paced back and forth in the command headquarters, and said after a long time: "I judge that the British fleet is in the waters near Jakarta, and it is still very safe for us to transfer troops to Semarang now, as for the escort fleet, let our troop transport fleet go to Machen Port first, our two Emperor-class cruisers and four Dragon-class cruisers are in Machen Port, and they will serve as escort fleets." β
Xiyun went to convey the order, Voss City was the location of the headquarters of the Third Army, the Third Army had the Sixth Division and the Seventh Division, which had been expanded to eight divisions at this time, and the Third Army sent three divisions, totaling more than 30,000 troops, to Semarang.
Lin Fei sent 30,000 elite soldiers, and his heart was slightly relieved, the Chinese foundation in Semarang is the best, the Indonesians should not be able to create a big riot, plus my 30,000 elite soldiers, it should not be broken by the British army.
At the same time, Lin Fei also began to reflect on whether he was too kind to Indonesians? If he hadn't left so many Indonesians in Jakarta, Jakarta might not have been breached so easily.
On December 23, the French army let the Vietnamese soldiers as the vanguard and attacked Pontianak City, and the Chinese in Pontianak, both men, women and children, took up arms and climbed to the top of the city to start a bloody battle with the Vietnamese.
The Vietnamese completely disregard their own lives, almost all of them are life-for-life tricks, even if they die, they have to pull a Chinese to accompany the funeral, these Vietnamese are trained soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is far better than that of the militia in the city, so the Chinese are completely inferior.
The French also brought more Vietnamese from the Vietnamese colonies, and the British even brought in more courageous Malay mercenaries from Malaya, who wielded Malay scimitars and were extremely effective in combat, and the Chinese were even more difficult to resist.
On December 24, the French army opened a gap in the north of Pontianak and entered the city, and on December 25, the number of gaps reached more than a dozen, and the French army entered the city in large numbers, and then completely occupied Pontianak, and then launched a massacre of Chinese in Pontianak.
The French and Vietnamese soldiers searched house to house in Pontianak, and all those who looked a little Chinese were pulled over and killed, and the women were naturally attacked by the French and Vietnamese before they died.
The French even left some attractive Chinese women in the camp to serve as camp prostitutes, and even loaded some women onto transport ships and sold them to brothels in Vietnam.
While the French were doing something wrong in Pontianak, the Second Army sent from the Visayas had not yet arrived at Pontianak, and they could only temporarily garrison Machen.
Lin Fei, who was in the rear, heard these news, although he was angry, but he was helpless.
Jakarta and Pontianak fell one after another, and the next targets of the French and British armies were naturally Machen Port and Semarang, and it was precisely Machen Port and Semarang that plunged Lin Fei's interior into great chaos.
