Chapter 347: The Great Net of Pontianak Station

"Quick, quick! Hurry up, hurry up—"

In a jungle, a group of heavily wrapped soldiers were marching with their heads down. Sweat had already soaked their clothes, but none of them had untied the layers of cloth wrapped around their wrists, trousers, and necks.

In the rainforest, there are too many locusts and poisonous insects to count, and those strips of cloth can often save the lives of soldiers.

Yang Hongbo walked in front of the team, Liu Kangsheng fell behind the team, and the two supervised the march of the team one after the other. This team, which is less than 250 people, is a sharp knife for the British to weigh.

At dawn, Yang Hongbo finally saw the destination of the rapid march, Gangwa, an agricultural town in Sarawak closest to the southern border. There is a sizable plantation, where three indigenous chiefs and five European families make up the upper class of the small town of Gangwa. There were also hundreds of Chinese, after all, the Chinese were far more trustworthy helpers in agriculture than the natives, and the total population of the town reached 13,400 people, half of whom were slaves.

"Chirp, chirp......"

After Yang Hongbo and Liu Kangsheng led their troops through the dense forest, they paused by a small river. Yang Hongbo personally led people to the direction of the town, in a place with dense grass. "Chirp, chirp, chirp......" Several bird-like cries came out of his mouth.

"Chirp, chirp, scum......" The grass opposite immediately remembered the response.

"Uncle Wu. You've arrived! Yang Hongbo looked at the old man standing up in the grass opposite, and finally showed a relaxed smile on his face.

"The old man has been here for more than an hour. But I'm looking forward to you. What do you think? Can you walk the path in the woods? What did the team bring? The old man surnamed Wu asked. The tone was full of affirmation and self-satisfaction.

"You're amazing. The team passed through the dense forest, not a single brother was broken. All are safely reached! ”

The old man in front of him is a node in a large web woven by Pontianak Station. An old man who has lived in Wagang Town for more than 30 years. A daughter was snatched away by the indigenous head, and the old father who never saw him until he died. A son died on the plantation for no apparent reason, leaving only a bleak old man with a minor granddaughter by his side. This kind of person must be full of hatred for both natives and foreigners in his heart, and he is the favorite object of Pontianak Station when he gathers people from the periphery.

The distribution map of materials, manpower and guard forces in Gangwa Town was handed over to the intelligence officers of Pontianak Station by Wu Laohan a long time ago, and Yang Hongbo, Liu Kangsheng and others had also memorized it by heart. The reason why I had to meet with Wu Laohan before the attack was to find out if there had been any changes in the various layouts of the town in recent days.

On a map that Wu Laohan is very familiar with, he originally produced a map from him. "Here, here....... The guards also changed...... "The result pen quickly marked the map a few times.

"Most of it hasn't changed."

"There is no change. Except for Abdul Samad (the headman), who went to Kuching the day before yesterday, and then there were ten more people in the garrison, nothing else has changed. ”

……

It is very difficult to have information, but it is very easy to have it. Especially when dealing with a group of unsuspecting enemies.

The town of Gangwa was captured without any suspense. On a peaceful morning, more than 200 elite soldiers, at least 150 of whom had a deep enmity with the British and the Malays, entered Gangwa Town like a whirlwind, and the whirlwind shook everyone's resistance. In the end, like a whirlwind, he cut off the heads of all the members of the two indigenous head families. Men and women, young and old. He executed more than 100 natives of the town, as well as the male and young owners of an English plantation, and abducted all the foreigners in the town.

A lot of wealth is, of course, theirs. So this group of 'bandits' divided into two routes, seventy or eighty people all the way. drove the little 200 slaves, carrying seventy percent of the wealth and food supplies of the entire Gangwa Town, back to the dense forest. The remaining more than a hundred people continued north. drove 300 slaves, while Sarawak had not yet woken up. Aiming at their second target.

……

"Smack!" One of the most ornate complexes in Kuching, Charles . Brooke smashed the glass in his hand in a fit of rage. "Assemble the convoy. Assemble the convoy! Go and ask Colonel Robben to come again, and I will take back command of the Malay soldiers. I'm going to concentrate all my strength and hang all those ugly bandits in Shilongmen!" ”

He had not yet officially intervened in the war in West Borneo, and the remnants of the rebellion who fled to the south like stray dogs like stray dogs dared to kill their own Sarawak under the banner. This is a provocation to the Brooke family's strictest zhòng. "I'll give them a taste of hell!" The fall of four towns, the loss of thousands of indigenous lives, the blood of dozens of noble Caucasians, and the abduction of hundreds of Europeans, the entire southern part of Sarawak will be reduced to ruins. If this revenge is not avenged, how can Charles still rule Sarawak!

"Damn China, Pig Monkey, send a telegram to Singapore, telling Your Excellency the Governor Sù Clark that the interests of the people of the British Empire are being violently violated, and that the blood of the people of the British Empire is flowing because of tyranny and ugliness...... "He wants to intervene in the war, he wants to bulldoze the whole Lanfang!" At this moment, Charles's heart was so determined.

……

In the mountains, Robert and a group of Dutch soldiers lit a bonfire. Yes, he was the commander of the bandits this time, and Charles did not have the ability to fight. Sarawak's convoy is a group of gun-firing militia. And Robben, even if he is less capable, he is also a regular Dutch army colonel.

Robben also temporarily canceled the calculation of entering Lanfang's territory and plundering hundreds of Chinese, in order to blackmail the rebels in exchange for prisoners. Because to do something like this, he needed a large number of Malay soldiers to attract the attention of the rebels. Then he could lead his troops through the gaps in the rebel defense line to the back of the defense line to plunder the Chinese.

As soon as the war began, too many Chinese fled to the core areas of the Lan Phong territory, such as East Wanjin and Pontianak.

"There's Dutch red hair here. These two sides really come together! Liu Kangsheng held a telescope and looked at the guards next to the bonfire. Authentic Caucasians!

"Then clean it up!" Yang Hongbo replied in a low voice. The eyes are also carefully watching the every move of the other side.

The bonfire shone on Liu Aqi's face, reflecting his whole person red, Liu Aqi gnawed on the piece of meat, opened his mouth and spit out a bone, lay on the grass obliquely, and beckoned: "Brothers, keep an eye on me at night." "A pair of eyes half-open and drowsy.

He was a small leader of the Brooke family's guard, with thirty or forty men under his command, most of whom were Chinese, and the rest were native. The escort was a thug raised by the Brooke family, and there were six or seven hundred people in total, but except for the two companies in the core that were Europeans, the remaining four or five hundred people were Chinese and native. The number of the two is almost half, which means that there are at least 200 Chinese working for the Brooke family. And why is this so, more than ten years ago, there were thousands of Chinese workers in Shilongmen who rebelled and had been in a stalemate with the Brooke family for a long time, why are so many Chinese working for the Brooke family now? There really is no need to say more about this, and there is no doubt about the ability of the Chinese to see the wind and make the rudder.

Whether it was when the Mengyuan and Manchu Qing entered the Central Plains, or when the original time and space China had a hundred years of humiliating history, the traitors were never lacking in the Chinese.

In addition, there are not too many Caucasian homeless people in the vast and sparsely populated Sarawak, and most of the Caucasian people in the escort team have just migrated from outside, or the men of subordinate families who have a deep relationship with the Brooke family, after they have served for a period of time, people will also withdraw from the escort team one after another, and then they will get a certain amount of reclaimable land, and then it will be self-management. If the Brooke family wants to maintain their rule, they can't do without the Chinese.

Really speaking, Chinese soldiers like Liu Aqi are the real professional soldiers in the escort team. The combat effectiveness is also stronger than that of the Malay natives. After the Brooke family suppressed the Shilongmen Chinese Workers' Uprising that year, they also knew very well that Sarawak could not do without the Chinese if it wanted to develop, and they had already broken up the most powerful Chinese groups, and the next thing was to use gentle means to win over many scattered Chinese small groups or families. The pay given by the escort is quite generous, and the oldest Chinese soldiers here are over forty-five years old. The ingredients are also very complex, there are real doglegs, banana people, and there are also people who carry guns for money. They, along with the Malay native soldiers of the same number, were the main force of the Brooke family in quelling local unrest in recent years. The tiger skin of the British Empire, after all, can only be pulled to scare people.

And the descendants of the two companies, whether it is Charles or the Brooke family before him, are all staying in Kuching for self-protection, and they will not be used lightly.

Even now, the strength of the Caucasian contingent that appears here is only a company of 100 people. The other is still working as a bodyguard for Charles in Kuching.

Huang Yarong was holding a breech rifle in his arms, followed by an observer, holding a repeating pistol in his hand, accompanied by a revolver at his waist, and a grenade hanging from his waist. It is definitely possible to resist for a while if it is discovered.

Huang Yarong is a sniper, and he is ready to kill the officer leader on the opposite side. Dozens of bonfires were lit in the field, and almost everyone could see clearly.

In the firelight, Huang Yarong was the first to find Liu Aqi. The militia-like Chinese soldiers were so poorly guarded that apart from the two sentry guards, there was not even a single sentry in the dark area where the fire could not be illuminated. Huang Yarong quietly put Liu Aqi's head into the crosshair of the muzzle, Liu Aqi was still lying motionless on the grass, Huang Yarong was completely sure that he would be killed with one shot!

Liu Kangsheng lurked in the grass, and hundreds of soldiers behind him crawled forward for hundreds of meters, approaching the camp little by little from a distance. He had been waiting for the gunshots. Behind him, Yang Hongbo led hundreds of people to press seven or eight hundred slave cannon fodder with spears and machetes, waiting for the battle to begin.
