Chapter 92: Dugu seeks defeat

Ciraza is a small port and a stopover on the Circum-Java Railway. The Dutch colonists, who ruled Indonesia for more than 300 years, never considered that the enemy's attack was launched from outside the archipelago, and they built most of the defensive forts around the Java Sea, such as Surabaya, Semarang, Banjar Paosin, and Jakarta, where the governor's palace was located.

The staff officers of the General Naval Command chose Ciraza for this purpose, especially since Chiraza is a railway transit station that facilitates the transfer of heavy equipment.

Perhaps the Xingba was a little weaker when it came to bombardment with the battleship, but when it stopped outside the harbor to bombard the dock, the 203 mm guns showed terrifying destructive power. More than a dozen drives, frigates, and gunboats approached to shell the bombardment, and the few defensive forces in the port of Chiraza were completely destroyed in the dense muzzles, and the walrus tanks in the dock compartment of the amphibious landing ship Zibu easily landed and seized the dock positions without firing a single shot, while the other troop carriers docked as calmly as in the native port, and most of the soldiers of the Jewish Marine Brigade boarded the dock unclothed.

The brigade commander Robert was a little disappointed by this, Colonel Robert, who had served in the Wehrmacht, continued the rigorous and warlike style of the German army, and he thought that the first landing battle of the Marine Jewish Brigade would be ten times better for the soldiers than the training, but he did not expect that it was a trip across the sea to enjoy the scenery.

However, Brigadier Robert also knew that not every battle would be so easy, and the intelligence of the headquarters clearly pointed out: in the entire Dutch East Indies, there were 70,000 troops, and the battle would eventually start.

Mei Mingyang, captain of the Zibu amphibious landing ship that had just formed its combat effectiveness, was also a little depressed, and the landing operation that he wanted to practice well actually turned into a farce, and the few small fish and shrimp on the dock were eaten up by the Northern Fleet's drives and frigates, and the landing ship became a transport ship.

When the latest battle report was transmitted back to Weiyang Palace, His Majesty had already returned to Jinhua Hall by helicopter, patting his shoulder and twisting his nose as a comfort to comfort the little goblin who was still pouting, Zhong Yi immediately summoned the relevant responsible persons of the Navy, the General Staff and other departments, and His Majesty once again strongly demanded that the battle plan be revised. Zhong Yi, who did not know much about the Western armies of this era, agreed to what he considered a very conservative battle plan, and now it seems that after the total annihilation of the Dutch Far East Fleet, the conservative plan of occupying Java Island first and then dividing the troops is simply a waste of time. ”

His Majesty knocked the conference table, "Attach importance to the enemy tactically and despise the enemy strategically!" When formulating strategies and tactics, we must give full consideration to the balance of strength between the enemy and us, and if it is a small devil, I have no objection to you putting the offensive on the basis of a solid defense. But now, our opponents are just a bunch of monkeys, a bunch of dirty monkeys with single-shot rifles. This requires us to emancipate our minds a little more and take bigger steps! The right arm stretched out and waved vigorously, and His Majesty emphasized heavily: "Bigger!" ”

The plan of action of the "1937 Maritime Union" was again revised. A few days later, the Coast Guard, under the personal command of Commander and Commander of the First Army, Hans, launched simultaneous landing campaigns in Kupang on the island of Timor, Kendari and Ujung Pandang on the island of Celebes, as well as Pa Ying on the island of Sumba and Denpasar on the island of Bali. The 77th Panzer Corps, escorted by the Northern Fleet, crossed the Flores Sea and the Bali Sea, and landed strongly in Banjarbasin, an important town in Borneo on the northern shore of the Java Sea, and drove the Tiger tanks onto Borneo. Having lost the protection of the naval fleet, the waters of Indonesia are full of the golden dragon flag of the Han Empire and the golden dragon flag of the Royal Navy.

Within a week of the end of the Battle of Chiraza, East Timor, Sumba, Lombok, and Bali in the Dutch East Indies fell into the hands of the Han army, and most of the cities on Java except Jakarta, where the Governor's Palace was located, were controlled by the Marine Jewish Brigade. On the Borneo side, the 77th Armored Corps, which was formed on the basis of the Northeast Army, was overwhelmed after Banjar Bassin defeated the main Dutch army. The difficulty was that most of the soldiers from northern China were not adapted to the hot and humid rainforest climate, and the dense rivers and vast wetlands and rainforest landforms on Kalimantan also severely affected the march of the armored troops. Commander Yu Xuezhong reported the situation to the General Headquarters of the Imperial Army, and Chief of General Staff Ye Zhiqiu checked it. Indeed, the climate and topography of Borneo were not well taken into account in the plan, and it was really not feasible for the Panzer Army to attack such a place. General He Zhuguo, who had missed the commander of the 77th Armored Army and was reappointed as the deputy commander of the Coast Guard, was considered a blessing in disguise, and led the Second Army of the Garrison to replace the 77th Army and continue to advance in Borneo, their target was Pontianak in the west and the coast of the Larawesi Sea in the east. This move was praised by His Majesty, "Isn't it just to fight a group of monkeys?" That's it, the soldiers are fast. ”

The Han Empire's large-scale military campaign in the Dutch East Indies shocked the world.

"Who moved the crown jewel of the Netherlands?" The Italian newspaper La Presse reported on the incident in a shocked tone.

"The former Dominion, now the executioner" may have sensed a great threat, and the Guardian of England was very unkind.

"The destruction of freedom and civilization, the desire for land and people", isolationism is now prevalent in the United States, the so-called bystander is clear, in the words of the New York Times.

The "lonely but not alone" Queen Wilhelmina of the Dutch kingdom declared a state of war with the Han Empire in Amsterdam, and the Dutch kingdom would defend the sacred Dutch East Indies at all costs.

Nevelle, who has just taken over as Prime Minister for a few months? Chamberlain announced that he would personally go to the Far East to mediate disputes and settle the war. The move was appreciated by the heads of state of the Netherlands and other European countries.

His Majesty the Emperor of Han in the Jinhua Hall of Weiyang Palace was comfortably massaging his head by Director Qin, listening to Haini reading the newspaper with his eyes closed, and when he heard that European countries said that if the mediation was successful, Prime Minister Chamberlain should win this year's Nobel Peace Prize, His Majesty sat up violently, and almost sat on the ground with fear that Director Qin, who was seriously massaging and trying not to be defeated by the goblin.

"Niang Xi's fart ......" It seems that His Majesty scolded the chairman of the committee, "The little devil turned Nanjing into a hell on earth for three weeks, where did all these peace lovers go?" ”

Seeing that the righteousness and courage to do good deeds and help the scolding ended, His Majesty wanted to lie down and continue to enjoy, but found that Qin Yingxue did not move, raised his eyes and saw that a pair of tears with frosty eyes were about to fall, and hurriedly took the opportunity to hug the cold beauty,...... Before the sweet words could be spoken, Qian Zhihao's voice had already come: "Report, Your Majesty, after six hours of fighting, the Marine Corps Jewish Brigade has captured the Jakarta Governor's Palace and captured alive the Dutch East India Governor Lambertus!" ”

His Majesty put down the claws of Lushan, which had taken advantage of the chaos and was about to be in place, and said, "Woohoo! The heroes are tied, the long swords are sharp, and they are sad! ”
