"Kill! Kill all these Chinese, their wealth and women will all belong to us! Sunobi hid behind, cheering on the indigenous Indonesians who were risking their lives. Those Indonesian natives were irritated with red eyes, screaming and charging in the face of the rain of bullets and bullets of the Chinese armed forces, and finally they were knocked to the ground, ending their criminal lives!
The street is not wide, less than twenty meters. The barricades built up with sandbags, although not very strong, are more than enough for the indigenous Indonesians with rudimentary weapons! Colonel Lin Zixiang assembled all the machine guns, and at each end of the street, ten light machine guns and two heavy machine guns were arranged. With such dense firepower, those Indonesian natives who rushed to the barricades had no chance of escaping!
Like moths to a fire, the Indonesian natives rushed towards the dense fire of the Chinese armed forces, and finally left corpses in the streets. Blood flowed from their bodies, converging into puddles of blood, emitting a disgusting stench!
Although these Indonesian natives are not afraid of death, they still feel fear after their companions are killed one by one. After the madness in their eyes faded, the Indonesian natives turned and fled. And the bullets armed by the Chinese took the opportunity to harvest their lives!
"Crewe, shall we support them with artillery?" Putra asked.
"No, we only have a few cannons, and there aren't many shells, so we have to save some money! The damned Dutchmen, when they fled, blew up the cannons and shells. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had to go through the trouble! Crewe cursed. The Dutch have also been on guard against the Indonesian army, and the weapons they give them are the most rubbish, only rifles, not even heavy machine guns, let alone artillery!
On the sea, the destroyer 'Xiaoshan' was cruising less than two kilometers from the coast. They returned to the ship after the weapons had been delivered last night, only to be halfway through when they received orders from the Admiralty. They were asked to return to Surabaya to support the consulate's guards. The captain of the ship, Major Huang Yuan, immediately ordered to advance towards Surabaya at full speed, but when they arrived, it was still night, and they could not provide support to the consulate's guards!
The destroyer 'Xiaoshan' was the first battleship to arrive. Behind it were the light cruiser "Yeosu" and the heavy cruiser "Fuchunjiang". It's just that they are relatively slow, and they will have to wait two hours to arrive!
"Captain, telegram from the consulate! The Indonesians have already launched an attack on the consulate, and Colonel Lin Zixiang wants us to provide fire support, here are the coordinates! The communications officer reported to Major Huang Yuan.
"Gun officer, prepare to fire. Teach those Indonesian monkeys a hard lesson. Let them know that we Chinese are not easy to mess with! Major Huang Yuan ordered. Protecting the interests of the country and the people is the mission of these soldiers, and the overseas Chinese are also the subjects of the empire!
"Great! Captain. Just look at me! The gunman said loudly. After learning that the Indonesian natives had rioted and massacred the Chinese, they had already held back the fire in their stomachs, and they had long wanted to give these Indonesian natives a little bit of power!
The main armament of the destroyer 'Xiaoshan' was two 105-mm rapid-fire guns. One at the bow and one at the stern. To deal with the Indonesian natives in Surabaya City, you can only use the main artillery. The gun coat has long since faded. The turret began to rotate, aimed in the direction of Surabaya. At the same time, calibration began in accordance with the coordinates given by the consulate.
"Fire!" Two minutes later, the gunnery officer gave the order to open fire.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Two 105-mm rapid-fire guns, which began to fire at the city of Surabaya at the maximum rate of fire. The 105mm rapid-fire gun equipped by the Navy has a maximum rate of fire of 12 rounds per minute, and although there are only two guns, the power of the burst is not inferior to that of an artillery company with 12 guns! The shelling lasted five minutes, and two rapid-fire guns fired a total of 120 shells that landed among the Indonesian natives outside the street where the consulate was located.
The intensive explosion of artillery shells caused huge casualties to the indigenous Indonesians. At the same time, in terms of morale, it is a big blow!
"The shells are coming from the direction of the sea, and the Chinese Navy is firing!" Putra said with a grim face. In the shelling just now, the Indonesians paid at least 1,000 casualties.
"Speed up the attack! The Chinese have only one battleship, and they can't withstand us. If it's too late, when more Chinese Navy warships arrive, we will have to pay even more casualties! Crewe stubbornly ordered. Now, he can only go all the way to the dark, if he doesn't catch enough Chinese as hostages, once Zhongdi arrives, with this little force in his hands and these rabble, Gen will not be able to fight against the squadron! He had no other choice!
"Sunobi, continue to attack, we must break through the defense line of the Chinese, otherwise we will all have a dead end!" Crewe ordered with a cold face. He didn't see ordinary Indonesians as human beings, these Indonesians were nothing more than cannon fodder for the ammunition he used to consume the Chinese armed forces defending the consulate. Anyway, there are 30 million Indonesians, and it is not distressing to die tens of thousands!
"Yes, General Crewe!" Sunobi's eyes were full of fear, and the fierce bombardment of the Chinese Navy just now made him tremble. Fortunately, the place where he was hiding was relatively safe, otherwise he might have died. He had no way to resist Crewe's orders. However, as long as he is not allowed to charge in person, he will not have an opinion!
Ten minutes later, a large number of indigenous Indonesians were once again driven to attack the consulate's defenses. There is no doubt that with the cooperation of the destroyer 'Xiaoshan' at sea, the Chinese armed forces repelled the attack of these Indonesian natives, and outside the barricades, the corpses have been piled up in a thick layer! However, the warring sides, as if the root did not see!
By 10 a.m., the fierce battle had been going on for two hours, and the Indonesian natives had suffered heavy losses. But they did not stop attacking. It's not that they are not afraid of death, many Indonesian natives are afraid long after paying a huge number of casualties. However, under the strong orders of Crewe and others, they had to continue the attack, and if they dared to retreat, they would be shot directly. In such a situation, these Indonesian natives have no choice!
"Crewe, the firepower of the Chinese armed forces has weakened, and their ammunition is about to run out!" Putra shouted happily when he heard the gunfire of the Chinese armed forces quieting down a little. Watching his compatriots continue to die, his heart is also dripping with blood!
"Let our men be ready, launch an attack in half an hour, and be sure to break through the Chinese defenses. As long as we get in, we win! Crewe's face also smiled. It's just that he doesn't know that he doesn't have this chance anymore!
On the sea, a battleship that looked like a hill and another smaller battleship arrived, and this was the heavy cruiser Fuchunjiang and the light cruiser Lishui.
After the arrival of the heavy cruiser Fuchunjiang, the destroyer Xiaoshan naturally obeyed the orders of the heavy cruiser Fuchunjiang.
The heavy cruiser 'Fuchunjiang' is the latest heavy cruiser of the Chinese Navy, and although the caliber of the main guns has been reduced a lot, the rate of fire is faster and the firepower is more powerful. Moreover, when using new armor-piercing shells, it was able to pose a very serious threat to the battleships of the Western powers. This kind of firepower is already quite outstanding!
"How's it going?" On the bridge of the heavy cruiser 'Fuchunjiang', the captain of the ship, Colonel Fan Jie, asked.
"Captain, we have just contacted the consulate, and the Indonesians have just retreated, but looking at the appearance of the Indonesian natives, they should be preparing for the next wave of attacks!" The communications officer reported.
"Send a telegram to the consulate and tell them that we will provide them with maximum fire support!" Colonel Fan Jie said.
"Yes, Captain!"
At half past ten, the Indonesian natives attacked again, this time with thousands of Indonesian troops mixed in. The weapons they are equipped with, although relatively poor, can at least pose a serious threat to the Chinese armed forces!
Sure enough, as soon as the battle began, there were quite a few casualties on the side of the Chinese armed forces. Colonel Lin Zixiang hurriedly asked the navy for help! After receiving the consulate's telegram for help, the three battleships on the sea immediately began shelling!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The main guns of the heavy cruiser 'Fuchunjiang' were three triple 210-mm rapid-fire guns, and the maximum rate of fire reached three rounds per minute. The power of the 210mm naval gun is not comparable to the previous 105mm rapid-fire gun, and the shell rubs violently with the air during the flight, resulting in a piercing scream!
"Boom!" A violent explosion was generated, and balls of fireball rose, and the Indonesian natives who were charging were directly blown to pieces. The dense rain of bullets almost enveloped the attacking Indonesian natives in its entirety.
"This, this is heavy artillery!" Crewe's face was full of disbelief.
"Crewe, let's retreat quickly, the large warships of the Chinese have arrived!" Putra hurriedly built a yì road.
Even if Crewe was unwilling, he also knew that after receiving the fire support of the large warships of the Chinese Navy, it would be impossible for them to break through the defense line of the Chinese armed forces. If you don't want to die, you can only retreat!
After that, the Indonesians really stopped the attack and just sent people to monitor the consulate.
In the afternoon of the next day, a large number of ships appeared on the sea. The 51st Regiment of the 5th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps arrived. Under the cover of the firepower of the battleship, the soldiers of the 51st Regiment landed lightly. And the Indonesian army and the mob, seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly abandoned Surabaya and fled. The Chinese in Surabaya are safe.
However, when the Dutch side learned that the squadron had landed in Surabaya, they directly protested against the Chinese invasion of the Netherlands!
