Chapter 93: The feeling of being pushed down

The battle to capture Jakarta was not as easy as the war reports suggested, and the Dutch had been operating there for 300 years, both in terms of fortifications and the support of the local population, which made it difficult for the Jewish brigades. As a new army, the tenacity and intelligence of the Jewish people were fully demonstrated in this battle.

Jakarta has a Dutch colonial army of more than 10,000 people, but it is poorly armed and poorly trained. In the face of the well-equipped and well-trained Jewish brigade, they were defeated in the attack and defense of the positions outside the city. The trouble came in the street fighting that followed the entry into the city, where the colonial army was reduced to pieces, relying on familiar terrain and fighting with the Jewish brigade street by street, because of the presence of a large number of Chinese in the Jakarta area, heavy weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles were tied hand and foot, and could not exert their powerful destructive power.

However, the bombs dropped by the colonial army from time to time in small groups caused a lot of casualties to the marines, and even some Chinese provided cover for the colonial army. Seeing their disgusting eyes, Robert keenly sensed that something was wrong with the situation, and that the information provided by the commander was wrong. Doesn't it mean that the Chinese are bullied here? Isn't it said that the indigenous monkeys often rob and even kill the Chinese? But now the Chinese and the colonists are on the same front, and when they look at the soldiers of the Jewish Brigade, their eyes are simply hatred and resentment towards the invaders.

You can't beat it, you can't kill it. If you really play a big drama of slaughtering the Chinese, will Your Majesty be excited to push the Seven Angels City into the Bay of Revelation? However, if the battle was not fought on this one, if the tank was not used to attack the fortification, this wall would be beaten room by room, and the Jewish brigade, more than 3,000 people, would be thrown in Jakarta, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hit the governor's palace in the coastal area.

The brigade commander Robert decisively gave the order to stop the offensive, gave up encircling and annihilating the colonial army soldiers hiding in the residential area, abandoned the positions that had been occupied so far, assembled the whole brigade, concentrated all the walrus amphibious tanks as the vanguard, armored vehicles guarded the wings, and did not love to fight when encountering the enemy, and went straight to the governor's palace along the street. This adventurous tactic worked wonders, the soldiers of the colonial army who lacked anti-tank weapons, with only rifles and grenades in their hands, it was difficult to threaten the fast-moving armored troops, the light and heavy machine guns on the clouded leopard amphibious armored vehicles were like bullets that did not cost money, and rained down on all suspected Tibetan places on both sides of the road, even if the colonial army was equipped with a small number of bazookas, there was no chance to get close, and when the soldiers hesitated whether to brave the rain of bullets to rush to the firing distance, Walruses and clouded leopards, advancing at 40 kilometers per hour, have long since gone in the dust.

The colonial nobles in the Dutch East Indies Governor's Mansion had already thrown away their usual gentlemanly disguises, blushing like a group of fighting cocks and blaming each other, Governor Lamberts took most of the saliva, and most of the nobles thought that it was Lambert's arrogance that angered the Han Emperor and caused trouble for the East Indies, and it was the stupid Governor who should bear the anger of the Han Emperor.

In addition to the nobles from the Netherlands, there are also some Chinese, who are so-called overseas Chinese students, who are well-educated, have a high social status, and imitate the Western way of life, thinking that they are superior. And they don't think they're Chinese, they're Dutch, and they're Catholics.

Of course, at this moment, these banana people paid great attention to their yellow skin, because everyone understood that although the attack on Jakarta was a white army, their supreme head was the yellow-skinned Han Emperor, and the Han Empire was notoriously friendly to the Chinese.

Therefore, most of the overseas Chinese students in the Governor's Mansion did not say a word, and coldly watched the ugliness of those nobles who were usually high-minded, and they felt that even if the Han army captured the East Indies, they could still continue to live their aristocratic life with the same ancestors as the Han Emperor.

The rumbling sound of tanks suppressed the image-free quarrel, and when the floor of the Governor's Palace trembled slightly, Earl Lambert, who had been keeping his head down, stood up suddenly, put on his top hat, and looked around at the panicked compatriots with a cold gaze, "Sir, since our ancestors landed on this land in the 16th century, the East Indies have brought great wealth and endless glory to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Now, this glory will end in my hands. As the Viceroy of the East Indies appointed by Her Majesty, I will repay Her Majesty with sacrifice......"

With a "bang", Earl Lambert fell down, but he was kicked down, and the yellow-skinned and white-skinned overseas Chinese snatched the pistol from the governor's hand, "You can't die, if you die, what will happen to the rest of the people here?" ”

This alerted the other Dutch nobles, and the cockfighters were beaten and bloodied again, and some of them found a rope to tie the governor to......

The battle to defeat the guards of the Governor's Palace lasted less than ten minutes, and when the tanks left the residential area, the unrestrained murderous tiger showed its hideous face again - the barrel of the 105mm tank howitzer was slowly flattened, and the flames erupted at the same time, and the two stacks of machine guns in front of the gate of the Governor's Palace also flew up, and no matter how much the Dutch officers reprimanded and cursed, they could not stop the black Indonesian soldiers from fleeing in all directions. At this point in the battle, resistance had become meaningless, and the Jewish soldiers who cherished their traditions did not rush to kill them, and after disarming the Dutch officers who were still trying to resist, a walrus squeaked and knocked down the two large iron gates, exposing the Dutch Governor's Palace, which had existed for more than 300 years, to the muzzles of tank artillery.

In his memoirs in his later years, General Robert, the later Israeli Minister of Defense, described the moment of the capture of the East Indian Governor's Palace: The ancient East Indian Governor's Mansion is as mysterious and desirable as a Hindu saint, and under my command, my No. 3301 command tank slowly toppled the iron gate of the Governor's Palace, which was like peeling off the holy veil with my own hands, which made people excited, and since then, I have been fascinated by the feeling of occupation! And during my ten years in the Royal Marines, this feeling filled every nerve in me, and it was as addictive as a drug. It is precisely this feeling that sustained me and my compatriots with a fearless spirit to thwart the enemy's aggression again and again, and let the Star of David shine forever after all! Long live a free Israel! Long live the Royal Marines!

However, Robert, who was enjoying the feeling of being overthrown, did not expect that his armored decapitation tactics had left endless banes for Jakarta, an ancient city built by the Chinese themselves, and those colonial soldiers who were not besieged and annihilated, after learning that the Governor's Palace was breached and the Dutch Governor surrendered, they lost hope and restraint, and they looted and burned in the city, and thousands of Chinese died in the riot. And this riot also succeeded in angering the Han Emperor, and the result of Long Yan's anger was the burial of the unfortunate Chinese...... There are many, many, many indigenous Javanese.

No one counted the number of indigenous deaths in the massacre, but the waters of the Sunda Strait were still red months later; It's just that the Java Sea, which borders Jakarta, has the largest number of sharks in the world; In a census in 1940, there were only about 6 million left on the island of Java, with a population of more than 20 million - too many indigenous Indonesians moved away from Java out of fear, and most of the people who remained were Han Chinese and whites, until more than 30 years later, on the 60th birthday of the Han Emperor, Java Island was renamed Zhiqiu Island to commemorate Ye Zhiqiu, the first chief of the general staff of the Imperial Army, who died of illness at a young age.
