The atmosphere on the main island of Java is becoming increasingly tense, and in the densely populated city of Jakarta, there are various rumors about the situation in the Indonesian archipelago.

Most people are most concerned about whether the Chinese in Sumatra will call.

Similar rumors circulated among the Dutch and Indian colonial forces, otherwise why did the Dutch governor transfer them from Jakarta to a remote beach and urgently build fortifications?

Despite Colonel Van Basten's racking of his brains and making many arrangements, the development of the situation poured cold water on him.

Before his plan was finished, the enemy came to kill him.

The narrow Sunda Strait was covered with South China ships, and the blue sky was blackened by smoke from countless chimneys, which were steam ships, from passenger ships of several hundred tons to small steamers of dozens of tons and even fishing boats, in short, South China collected almost a few Sumatran ships.

Three 10,000-ton giant ships also came, mainly to transport supplies and supplies.

Merak Beach is shallow, and you have to rely on those boats to get to the beach.

Looking at the thick smoke billowing on the sea and hundreds of large and small ships rushing towards them, the Dutch and Indian colonial troops stationed in Merak were stunned. They had never seen such a large fleet, many of whom had just been improvised by the Dutch from the countryside, and had never been out of a mountain village in their lives, let alone seen the sea.

Lack of training, outdated weapons, low morale, and the heavy artillery fire of the Dutch-Indian colonial army, which was mainly indigenous to Java, was so hasty and panicked that their so-so beach defense line was pierced like papier-mâché, and many Javanese soldiers hugged their heads and cried under the fire of the South Chinese army.

They had never seen such a scene before, and if it weren't for the Dutch governor who sent people to organize the shooting these days, they would still think that they would fight with bows and arrows and broadswords. Aren't knives good?

When they were in the countryside, they slaughtered a lot of those Chinese settlers, which was very convenient!

"Quick, pick up the artillery for me, the outer islanders are coming." The Dutch signal corps immediately called for artillery support. The strength of the South China Army is not something that the beach defenders can resist with two or three thousand people and a dozen machine guns.

"Bang bang bang!"

Bursts of artillery rang out on the beach, and Nanhua's warships were shelling the enemy's positions, digging out artillery craters on the beach. Killed a lot of hapless Dutch and Indian colonial troops.

Of course, the shelling of the South China Navy was not earth-shattering, and it could not be compared with the earth-shattering shelling of battleships of tens of thousands of tons, but for the Dutch and Indian indigenous soldiers who were little informed, the shock in their hearts was indescribable.

If it weren't for the Dutch officers restraining and reprimanding them, they would have thrown down their weapons and fled back.

Bang!

The Dutch artillery deployed on the shore also shelled the landing fleet in South China, and the sparse shells fell on the South China fleet. There was a splash, some unfortunate ships were blown up and sunk, and the material personnel on board sank into the sea before they could get ashore.

The warships of Nanhua began to suppress the enemy's artillery fire, and for a while, the sea was full of artillery fire.

Most of the ships still rushed ashore in the predetermined direction, braving artillery fire.

Although they did not go into the water, the Marines lying on the landing ship felt the cruelty of the war. They kept their heads down. Holding his breath, he gripped the weapon in his hand tightly.

At the officer's reprimand, the soldiers on board jumped into the water, which exuded a faint amount of blood. Struggle like rushing across the beach.

Seeing the South Chinese Army approaching the beach, the machine guns of the Dutch and Indian colonial troops began to fire, blocking the beach and killing the marines on the beach, leaving blood all over the ground and staining the red and white sand.

"Damn it! Why haven't you come yet? Zhang Fakui, the commander of the Marine Corps, held a telescope and looked at many fallen Marine soldiers on the beach, feeling a little anxious.

According to the plan, the Air Force was supposed to launch an attack on Merak Beach before the Marines landed, but the Marines went ashore. The shadow of the Nanhua aircraft has not yet appeared, and Zhang Fakui can't help but complain in his heart.

Mother! Drop the chain at a critical moment! The Air Force can't be trusted!

Zhang Fakui thought to himself: It would be nice if the navy still had battleships or cruisers, at least the landing would be much simpler. But now it's up to the Marines to fight the bloody road!

He also didn't want to think about it, if the South China Navy had a big ship, wouldn't it be okay to go straight to Jakarta? Why do the Marines fight so this small beach of Merrak?

The valiant marines were making their way to Guò Beach at a rapid pace, breaking through some of the enemy's strongholds. After occupying part of the beach and gaining a foothold, they increased their machine guns and fired at the enemy.

The marines were equipped with a large number of light mortars, and after coming ashore, these mortars finally came into use, and began to fire at the enemy's machine-gun positions, and the machine-gun positions of the Dutch and Indian colonial troops were named one by one, gradually expanding the breakthrough.

As long as more troops are invested, victory will definitely belong to the South China Army!

Zhang Fakui secretly cheered in his heart and cheered for the Marine Corps!

Every Marine soldier is an elite, and one less makes his heart bleed.

At this time, there was a roar in the sky, and a flock of big birds flew behind them, it was the South China Air Force, and they finally came.

Looking at the birds that swooped down from the sky, many Javanese soldiers looked up curiously.

How can there be such a big bird?

How can it make a rumbling sound?

Heck, they also breathe fire?

If you don't see it, you damn it.

Ploughed by South Chinese planes, the beach defense line of the Dutch and Indian colonial army was full of casualties, especially those newly recruited Javanese soldiers, who thought it was a punishment from the gods, and were terrified, and let the Dutch officers scold them to no avail.

In fact, when the Dutch officers encountered Nanhua's plane, they also quickly avoided it.

Although they have heard of wars in Europe and know that airplanes can drop bombs and sweep bullets, they live in the Indonesian archipelago all the year round, facing natives with bows and arrows and broadswords.

The Dutch who had tasted the power of the South China planes were either dead, or they stayed in prisoner of war camps in the hope that the war would end as soon as possible.

For the first time in carrying out a large-scale cross-sea landing operation, some mistakes and omissions are inevitable, not to mention the cooperation of this multi-service service.

However, the arrival of the South Chinese Air Force caused the Dutch and Indian colonial forces to collapse on the entire Merak Line: under the strafing and bombing of aircraft, the artillery positions of the Dutch and Indian colonial troops were heavily damaged, and they could no longer continue to block the beach.

"Mother! Should I have come earlier? Zhang Fakui looked at the plane flying inland and muttered with a smile. Relax your mind.

Looking up, the sun had fully risen, and the gunfire on Merrac Beach was gradually extinguished.

More and more South Chinese soldiers disembarked and stepped on bloody beaches. Began the bloody Javanese Way.

Jakarta, the official residence of the Dutch-Indian Governor's Palace, and also the headquarters of the Dutch-Indian colonial army, Colonel Van Basten's heart jumped when he received a landing attack from South China.

It happened so suddenly, and in a little more than a week the local reinforcements arrived, but the South Chinese Army launched a landing operation during the rainy season before the arrival of the Dutch reinforcements.

This was the last thing Colonel Van Basten wanted. But it did happen.

Now is the weakest time for the Dutch and Indian colonial army, if the South Chinese army is allowed to land, and the reinforcements do not arrive in time, then Jakarta is likely to fall, and the century-old foundation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be gone.

After receiving the alarm, Colonel Van Basten did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the 3,000 Dutch and Indian colonial troops stationed in Silang to reinforce Merrak, and strictly ordered the Merak defenders to hold out until reinforcements arrived at any cost.

At the same time, he also drew 10,000 troops from Jakarta to reinforce Merrak. The order had been given, and the troops had begun to leave the city.

You have to hold on, you have to hold on!

He prayed silently in his heart. Pray to God Almighty that it would be better to have a tsunami and kill all those yellow-skinned monkeys.

"Bang!" The door was slammed open, and a Dutch officer staggered in, his face panicked, and his voice trembled: "The enemy has come ashore, they are coming!" ”

"What?" Colonel Van Basten grabbed the officer and asked, "Reinforcements from Sirloin, don't they have reinforcements?" ”

"Silan's army is gone? They're finished too! The Dutch officer said.

"Bastard! How did they end up? Could it be that the South China Army will not be able to fly? Colonel Van Basten snapped.

In terms of time, the Dutch-Indian colonial army in Silang should have been on their way to Merak Beach.

"It's an airplane! They were bombed by enemy planes on the way. Then the vanguard of the South Chinese Army also rushed over and ??????? them Annihilated. It was the last telegram from the commander. ”

The Dutch officer finally made things clear, and he looked at Colonel Van Basten with a look of horror.

"Bastard! Damn it! Colonel Van Basten turned the terrified Dutch officer still on the ground in disgust and looked back at the command, where the rest of the officers also bowed their heads and their eyes flashed. Fear.

Colonel Van Basten sat down in a slump and held his forehead with a pained expression.

Although he has worked hard and assigned a lot of work, he is really powerless in the face of this mess.

There was a brief silence in the conference room, and the South Chinese Army hung like a shadow over the hearts of every Dutch officer.

Now is not the time to sigh, the South Chinese army is likely to come by the Guò railway, and they will be as soon as the afternoon.

Colonel Van Basten looked up, and was about to say something, when he saw Governor Gurlitt standing in the doorway with a stern expression.

"No matter what, we have to hold Jakarta, hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon. Maybe we can annihilate the enemy under Jakarta and reclaim the honor of the kingdom! ”

Governor Gurlitt looked at the officers scrutinically, a confident look on his face.

Yes, the most important thing now is to defend Jakarta, if the enemy can't attack for a long time, and the local reinforcements appear behind them in time, then the shape shì is completely different!

Governor Gullit's words ignited hope in the hearts of the officers, and Colonel Van Basten immediately chimed in: "This is a battle of life and death, and we must show the spirit of fighting to the death, or those yellow-skinned monkeys will take away our lives, dignity, and property, just as they did on the outer islands." ”

"Fight to the death!" The Dutch officers in the command stood up and shouted, really a little brave, Governor Gurlitt and Colonel Van Basten looked at each other, nodded knowingly, and turned their heads, but they were deeply helpless.

After the successful landing of the South Chinese Army, it was like a bamboo, and after capturing the two important towns of Merak and Sileng, it went straight to Jakarta.

Merak had a railway to Jakarta, and the South Chinese Marines captured the railway station as soon as possible, killing the Dutch who were about to sabotage the railway, and seizing the precious train in time.

There were quite a few Javanese railway workers at the station, and they cooperated to start the train under the guzz of Nanhua or the lure of money.

In fact, the Javanese hated the Dutch even more, and they had long been resentful of the Dutch bosses who exploited them.

"Quick! Come on! Raided the Dutchman's lair! Zhang Fakui stood at the locomotive and shouted.

He is directing the Marines to board the train, preparing to appear under the city of Jakarta as fast as possible to catch the enemy by surprise.

The South China Second Division, which followed behind the Marine Corps, this meritorious unit fought all the way from Aceh to Palembang, with outstanding military achievements, known as the strongest division of the South China Army!

"! Hurry up, you bunnies, the Marines are already running ahead of us.

They have already helped us clear the way, do we need to let them help us take Jakarta? ”

Situ Yong stood on the beach of Merak and shouted to the officers and men of the 2nd Division who were getting off the boat.

He frowned, a little anxious.

The conditions of the small port of Merak were limited, and it was easy for the soldiers to let them go ashore, but the heavy equipment of the 2nd Division was not so easy to go ashore from the sea.

At least the more than 10 armored vehicles, more than 20 trucks, and more than 100 artillery pieces did not take three to five days to go ashore.

In addition, a large amount of supplies will also be moved to the shore.

Fortunately, having previously surveyed the terrain of Merrak and trained an engineering unit from the Medan Construction Company, it would have been slower to be effective.

In order to capture Jakarta, the 2nd Division was specially equipped with 30 105-caliber heavy guns, ready to bombard the opponent with artillery.

Behind the 2nd South China Division was the 4th Division, which would also land later and follow the 2nd Division along the railroad from the west to Jakarta.

Then there are the Aceh divisions and the Batak divisions, which will take on important tasks in the next street battles and law and order operations.

Finally, there are the second-line troops of the South China, who are tasked with guarding large cities such as Palembang, and will also participate in the security operations planned by the South China Army in Java after the capture of Jakarta.

Time is of the essence, and the South Chinese Army has only a short week to take Jakarta before the arrival of reinforcements from the Dutch mainland.

"Report! The 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade had already gone ashore. A Nanhua officer walked up to Situ Yong quickly.

"Good! Order us to go at once! Go to Jakarta and copy the Dutch! Situ Yong said excitedly, so he led the vanguard of the 2nd Division to Jakarta, while the chief of staff, Fotzel, stayed in Merak to organize the landing of follow-up troops.
