"I hope so! But next time I'm definitely not going to let it slip away. Paul smirked.

The Dutch fleet, which had retreated to the open sea, was faced with a difficult decision: to withdraw or not to withdraw?

The army generals advocated the rescue of the Dutch and Indian colonial forces in Banda Aceh instead, and their reason was that since the landing had failed, it was better to land from Banda Aceh and attack Medan by land.

The Navy scoffed at this. The army could not even win the South China Second Division, and it was a fool's dream to break through the jungle and attack Medan.

Well, they have heard that the South China Army is good at jungle warfare, and the Dutch and Indian colonial troops are being pressed and beaten by the South China Army from the tropical rainforest, and they are forced step by step to the point where they cannot protect themselves.

As he spoke, the officers of the sea and land factions quarreled again.

Major General Ruben had to lash out again. He never thought of abandoning the landing in Medan, and the Dutch fleet could not slip back just because the enemy had a few batteries.

"In addition to Bellah Bay, Medan has a long coastline, and we can find another place to land. I don't believe those yellow-skinned monkeys have forts everywhere? ”

Major General Ruben said with a resolute expression.

The Dutch still knew the situation in Sumatra, and after some discussion, Major General Ruben decided to land on a beach 50 kilometers east of Belawan, which was less than 80 kilometers from Medan, and once successful, the Dutch and Indian colonial forces could launch an attack on Medan in one day.

On the morning of the third day, the once-disappeared Dutch fleet reappeared off the coast of Medan and swooped down on land with murderous vigour.

For the sake of prudence, the Dutch fleet sent seaplanes. Conduct reconnaissance of the target area.

Major General Reuben held a telescope and silently observed the silent beach in the distance, and the seaside was a coconut grove. Such a scenario is all too common in the South Seas.

Behind the lens barrel, Major General Reuben's face was raised, and his expression was stern.

"Report! The reconnaissance aircraft returned, and the enemy did not deploy in the target area. A Dutch officer walked up to Major General Reuben with excitement.

Major General Reuben's face was slightly relieved, and he listened to the officer next to him continue to report: "The plane encountered the enemy's plane during the reconnaissance, and there was no exchange of fire, but our position may have been exposed. ”

So his brows furrowed again, and he said in his heart: Airplane, airplane again! What a thing to hate and love!

Although the South China Army has discovered its own side. However, the other side did not have time to deploy defenses on the beach, as long as they hurried up, the certainty of landing was still quite large.

After a moment of silence, Major General Ruben decided to go ahead with the original plan.

The arrival of the Dutch broke the tranquil beach, which is covered with coconut palms common in the Indonesian archipelago, and the monkeys in the trees watched in amazement as the dense crowd of people came coming from the sea. Not scared at all, but squeaked excitedly.

Burst!

A leaf falls from a tree. Smashed on the soft sand, it almost hit a crab that was leisurely foraging, and it quickly ducked into a cave by the sea.

After a while. A big foot accidentally stepped on the crab's house, ruining the fruits of its hard work.

"Haha! Those yellow-skinned monkeys really didn't know how to defend here, and they were lightly landed by us. Soon we can go up and kick them in the ass. ”

A Dutch officer took the lead ashore and laughed a little arrogantly.

He was followed by dozens of tall Dutch soldiers. These were the elite of the Dutch and Indian colonial army, so they were responsible for the first landings.

Not encountering the enemy's blockade made them a little disappointed and more glad. Hearing the officers laugh, they also cracked their mouths.

After the Dutch officer was excited, he looked back at the beach, and more and more officers and soldiers had landed, including the indigenous soldiers who made him hate, they squeaked off the landing craft, but they were too short, and they were accidentally wiped out, and they were choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater, which looked a little funny.

"Go ahead, don't stop on the beach." The Dutch officer immediately urged the soldiers to go deeper into the interior and march in the predetermined direction.

"Huh!"

Rear Admiral Reuben stood on the warship, looking at the growing number of Dutch-Indian colonial troops on the beach, a smile on his face.

The other Dutch officers standing beside him also had happy faces on their faces. Compared to the terrifying artillery fire of Bela Bay a few days ago, the beach here is quiet, like an undefended virgin, just a light stab, and it will be broken.

"The navy will set up a landing supply point here to ensure the supply of the army. It's up to you next. Major General Ruben looked expectantly at the stern-faced Brigadier General beside him.

"Hmm." The brigadier general nodded, saluted, and disembarked to organize a land offensive.

It was true that the South Chinese Army did not deploy defenses on that beach, and it was too late to deploy defenses, so they simply allowed the Dutch and Indian colonial troops to successfully land.

For the next two days, the Dutch colonial army was busy landing, setting up supply points, and a large number of prepared weapons were sent to land.

The South Chinese Army never appeared, as if they had forgotten about the Dutch who were landing on the beach, which almost made the Dutch and Indian colonial troops, who had some scruples in their hearts, feel like they had come to travel, too relaxed.

If it weren't for the fact that Nanhua's reconnaissance planes appeared on the beach from time to time, reconnoitred and then left in a dashing manner, they would have almost forgotten that this was a war.

The Dutch's water reconnaissance plane could not outrun the Nanhua plane, and they did not dare to go over to provoke the Nanhua plane, after all, looking at the size of the opponent, they knew that they could make a move, and the bloated seaplane was not an opponent.

Both anti-dump planes are very "friendly", but when the Dutch seaplanes go deep inland, the Nanhua planes are not polite. After being shot down by a reconnaissance plane, the Dutch pilots acted cautiously and did not dare to reconnoiter the core area of the South China Army.

The Dutch landed non-stop, and the South Chinese army in Medan was not idle. All kinds of orders were constantly issued from the base camp of Zhenhualou, and the staff of the South China Army continued to dispatch troops, and all kinds of weapons and equipment that had been hidden before were revealed.

To this end, they are well prepared. The Air Force has prepared 5 reconnaissance planes, 15 fighters, and 30 bombers, for a total of 50 aircraft. In addition to dealing with enemy artillery, one of the main tasks of the air force was to strike at the Dutch fleet and cut off the enemy's sea and land links.

Several destroyers and submarines of the South China Navy also began to set up ambushes in the rear of the Dutch fleet. Prepare to hit them hard as they escape.

The army was the main force in this campaign, and in order to cope with this campaign, South China suspended the offensive in South Sumatra. 10,000 people from the main forces of the 3rd and 4th Divisions, which were attacking the city, were urgently transferred from Riau Province and West Sumatra Province to defend Medan.

After the overall situation of the war in Aceh was decided, the Second Division also transferred a brigade of 7,000 people back to Medan, plus the 15,000 people of the Medan Garrison Division of the First Division that had been stationed in Medan, the number of the main force of the South China Army assembled in Medan reached more than 30,000 people!

In terms of numbers, it has already surpassed the 25,000 Dutch-Indian colonial troops who landed. In addition, the second-line troops of South China ...... The 40,000 men of the division will also join the campaign.

Killing is a knife, this is South China's strategy.

It was precisely because of its strong hands that the South Chinese Army deliberately allowed the Dutch to land easily, and then laid a net to serve them.

A steady stream of information about the Dutch and Indian colonial forces was gathered in the headquarters, and the officers in the headquarters were constantly sending the latest information to the staff office. Then after calculation, it was reflected on the delicate large sand table in the war room.

He Wenxiu looked at the busy and well-organized South China Army Staff Office with a straight face, and was very satisfied with the Germans' method.

The young and energetic staff officers were responsible for drawing up the battle plan, and after their precise calculations, the situation and the development of the battle on both sides were almost within the range they expected. Of course, there are also various preparatory options.

He Wenxiu suddenly had a feeling that this army was like a factory. All the processes and steps are clearly organized, as long as you press the button yourself.

After a while, Chief of Staff Bauer found Ho Wenxiu.

"Commander. Just now, a regiment of the 3rd Division had an exchange of fire with the enemy. According to your orders, the 3rd Division retreated 10 kilometers and disengaged from the enemy. Now all the ministries have moved to their designated positions. ”

Bauerdow.

"Now all the Dutch are ashore?" He Wenxiu asked.

"Yes. In the morning our plane went to take a look, and the number of enemies was about the same as we estimated, and all of them were in our expectations. I think it's time. ”

Bauer looked at He Wenxiu with some expectation. I secretly admired it in my heart. No matter what time it was, this man in his thirties was always so calm, well, almost to the point of indifference.

"Hmm." He Wenxiu nodded. Coming to the war room, he stared at a group of young generals and said: "I have been preparing for so many years, I have paid so much, and even some people have sacrificed."

Now is the time to test us. I hope that all the soldiers will move forward bravely, not afraid of sacrifice, and lay the foundation for our country in the first war. You are the masters of this new country. Is there confidence? ”

"Yes!"

"Do you have the courage?"

"Yes!"

"Louder! Inaudible! ”

"Fight bravely to kill the enemy, not afraid of sacrifice, and fight for living space!" A group of young generals in the conference room roared loudly, and the sound resounded through the building.

Not long after, similar voices resounded one after another from the Chinese army in Medan, resounding in the sky. It is a roar of grief over centuries of injustice and humiliation for this nation!

They will defend their dignity with their own blood and regain what they once lost!

The German advisers in the army were also infected, and they thought of their humiliation and vented their anger on the Dutch.

During the landing, the Dutch fleet remained anchored off the coast of Medan, and Rear Admiral Reuben and a large group of Dutch navies watched the whole process of their troops landing with great emotion.

In order to defend the dignity of the kingdom, in order to protect the last colony, these Dutch soldiers were ready to give their own efforts and even sacrifices.

After the troops landed, Major General Ruben should have breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason he was faintly worried.

Could it be that the South China Army's confidence is so strong? Let the kingdom's armies land and then have a decent battle?

So far, this is the only way to explain it.

The war was approaching, and the more the South Chinese Army was silent, the stronger Major General Reuben's concern became.

"Is today's reconnaissance report out?" He asked.

"Not yet." The officer next to him replied.

Today's sent seaplane has been gone for an hour and a half and has not yet returned. As planned, I was supposed to be back half an hour ago.

"No?" Major General Ruben frowned and said, "Report to me immediately if there is news." When he had finished his order, he turned and returned to the cabin.

However, he could not have imagined that it would be his fleet that would be the first to fight, and the result would be unforgettable for him. (To be continued) q
