Chapter 221: The Reappearance of the Moon (I)

Li Yuanhong retreated with the seaside, and Li Yuanhong retreated all the way to the seaside, and Adenauer, the commander of the Dutch army, also hurried to follow the rear all the way, and then hoped to force the Taiwanese army to withdraw as much as possible. And the goal of the Dutch is not too big, that is, to force the Taiwanese army to retreat by warship. At that time, they can go to Lanfang, and then take re-possession of it again, so that Wang Guorui will have no reason to continue to use Lanfang as an excuse to start a war, and then the British and the French will also be able to take the opportunity to intervene in mediation, so that the Dutch will be safe. So now they see the Taiwanese army going to the sea, and they think that the Taiwanese army is about to retreat, so they are also relieved.

"General, the Chinese army did not go, they just stayed by the sea!" Said a scout of the Dutch army.

"Oh? What's going on? Adenauer asked.

Adenauer took the initiative to come to the position and carefully began to observe the situation of those Taiwanese troops. The Taiwanese army seems to have formed an arc formation, and then they packed some sand from the sea in sacks and put it in front of the tunnel. The Taiwanese army also took the opportunity to dig tunnels, and these trenches were not like their tactics in Taiwan, and they chose straight trenches.

Adenauer was in Nanyang, and they had all heard of the tactics of Taiwan's resistance to Japan at that time. During the anti-Japanese period in Taiwan, a large number of trench tactics were used, and then trenches were dug one by one, and then artillery was used behind the trenches to bombard the enemy in front of them. Inside the trenches, however, these machine guns were set up, and some light artillery guns were used to bombard at close range, so that they could also have the effect of consuming a large number of charging enemies. As for those attackers, they will definitely consume a lot of manpower soon, and in the end they will not be able to break through the trenches. And this tactic, after the Japanese learned it, they also used it in turn in Taiwan. However, Mr. Taiwan is a high-minded man, using new tactics to crack the trench warfare he invented.

This. I've also heard of Adenauer in the South Seas. Even, after the Japanese army returned home from a crushing defeat, various countries sent military observers to Japan to "learn from experience" and want to learn the most advanced tactical system. And all countries have secretly given a thumbs up to Taiwan's trench warfare, because this tactic is simply a bull's fork tactic, and it has taken advantage of its firepower superiority to the limit. Of course. This tactic is to have sufficient firepower, and if you don't have enough firepower, you can't use this tactic at all.

Although Western devils have never publicly praised this new tactic, after all, it is impossible for them to openly admit that their tactics are lagging behind a Chinese. However, foreign devils from all over the world have also begun to imitate this trench warfare, which is also an indisputable fact. However, as for Wang Guorui's method of cracking trench warfare, which is the infiltration tactic of combining multiple small forces, this foreign devil has not yet learned. Because they didn't know how the shotgun that fired small bullets was invented, and how the flamethrower was made. This is what Western devils don't understand. The Western devils only got the design drawings of the Stern submachine gun, but it is unrealistic for the foreign devils to produce a large number of Stern submachine guns. After all, the Stern submachine gun needs to consume a huge amount of ammunition, and once it is equipped in large quantities, I am afraid that the current production capacity will not be enough to provide sufficient logistics supplies. So now the foreign devils regard the Stern submachine gun as a weapon for fire support and suppression when charging, and they do not have a large number of equipment. Wang Guorui's troops normally have 200 submachine guns in one division, and only special forces can achieve one submachine gun per person.

"This looks like trench warfare, but what kind of weird situation is this? They actually put the cannon in front, next to the soldiers, not in the back like in the past. And the cannon just showed the barrel. There are sandbags all around and there aren't many changes. ā€

"There are some free artillery positions around. But there are no cannons, what does this mean? I've never seen this kind of tactic of putting a cannon in front, I've never seen it! ā€

Adenauer felt that his head was about to get bigger, and this tactic of the Taiwanese army was something he had not seen before. And according to his research on Taiwan's tactics during the anti-Japanese resistance at that time, he could not imagine why Taiwan would put this kind of artillery in a direction parallel to the soldiers. In general, the cannons were placed behind the soldiers. Because the range of the cannon is more than that of the soldier, and it is not easy for the enemy to find it and be blown up when placed in the rear.

"General, these Chinese not only did not use the artillery together, but they used it separately. What kind of tactic is this? A staff officer asked Adenauer with some curiosity.

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Adenauer asked rhetorically.

Since Napoleon, the world has focused on the use of artillery in a centralized manner, so that the power of the cannon can be brought into play. However, Taiwan's method not only did not concentrate the use of artillery, but instead used it separately, which made them feel very surprised. After all, they are completely overwhelmed by Taiwan's approach, after all, these tactics are contrary to the military knowledge they have learned. And Adenauer had never seen this kind of trench digging a soldier's trench into an arc, so that the trench looked like an arc, but is this interesting?

"I don't know what these Chinese are doing!" Adenauer was not sure for a moment.

And at the Taiwan Marine Division, Li Yuanhong and Song Yang looked into the distance with binoculars, and then Li Yuanhong asked: "These foreign devils, what is their artillery strength?" If their artillery is too strong, then we may not be able to use this tactic. ā€

"Master Li can rest assured that we don't have to be afraid of them. According to our investigations, the combined number of artillery of these Dutch in Indonesia is no more than our first regiment, and the truly modern artillery is no more than a battalion. Other cannons, hum, they were all Napoleonic cannons from decades ago. This kind of old antique is so easy to take out, this is really speechless. Song Yang said.

And Li Yuanhong shook his head and said: "These Dutch, their task is to suppress the rebellion of the natives, and the natives don't have too good equipment, so they naturally don't need too much good equipment." Napoleonic artillery decades ago, that was enough to suppress the natives. If they had known that we were going to attack Indonesia, they would not have chosen to equip their troops with this old and backward Napoleonic cannon. We declared war too suddenly, and the war broke out very suddenly, so they didn't change their equipment in time. ā€

"I've heard that the Dutch have brought in nearly 200,000 troops from within the country, and these troops are the most elite artillery, not ordinary goods. The population of the Dutch is only 10 million, and they have already mobilized 200,000 troops, plus 120,000 here, which is almost exhausted. They really spared no effort to keep Indonesia, so they are all desperate now. So, we have to defeat them as much as we can, and then we can give in and cede this Nanyang Indonesia to us! Li Yuanhong said.

"But, I'm worried now, what if they don't come to attack if they don't get fooled?" Song Yang said.

And Li Yuanhong immediately said: "Not fooled? That would be better, we could delay until our army arrives and encircle them together. And if they are fooled, they will also lose a lot. So, whether they are fooled or not, we win. However, I guess they will still be fooled, because they are so desperate to get rid of us, so naturally they have to attack. Therefore, in order to drive us away, they naturally have to be fooled if they are not fooled, otherwise they may not be at peace at all. ā€

"General, why don't you attack yet? These armies are the first troops of the Chinese to land, and if we annihilate them, then we will cut off the first claw of the Chinese to reach into the South Seas, which will be a blow to the Chinese. Therefore, we build yƬ and we do our best to attack, so that the Chinese can know how powerful we are. A Dutch staff officer said.

And Adenauer still said: "I'm worried that they have fraud, the Chinese are famous for playing conspiracy, they have a book called Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that is, to tell the story of winning by conspiracy, their conspiracy is very powerful." I'm afraid there's something wrong with this! ā€

"General, this is not a matter of concern. We must do our best to annihilate them, and then do our best to control Lan Fang in our hands. Otherwise, the second batch of support troops of the Chinese will soon arrive, and if we cannot control Lanfang and solve the Chinese's political excuse by then, it will be very unfavorable to us! Therefore, we must do our best to destroy this army, and then attack Lan Fang, so that we can control Lan Fang in our hands, so that the Chinese will not have any political excuses. So, you have to be fast! The Dutch staff officer said.

"Alright, order the natives, hurry up and attack me!" Adenauer said.

Soon, the Dutch also began to force the natives to attack the positions of the Taiwanese army, and the Dutch soldiers did not take the initiative to attack, but stayed in place to observe the attack of the natives. And the Dutch let the natives attack, not without the factor of wanting to use the natives to test what intrigues and tricks Taiwan has. In any case, the Chinese are all indigenous, and the Dutch can use this method to experiment with Taiwan's plan. (To be continued......)
