Lunk is the choke point from the east of Kalimantan to the west, and it is also an important trade route, so there are many Han people here to do business, so the business atmosphere of Lunk is very strong. In order to defend the Republic of Lanfang, the Sultan deployed 3,000 soldiers here. The barracks of the Sudanese soldiers were on the south side of the town, enclosed by a fence wall, and inside were rows of staggered wooden stilted buildings. Due to Kalimantan's tropical location, there is plenty of rainfall, so most of the houses are built on stilts to protect them from moisture.

At dawn, the troops entered the attack position, and Wang Zhiyu reported: "Commander, we have made contact with the informants in the town, and after understanding the situation, the Sudanese soldiers have a small number of foreign guns, and the rest are earthen guns, earth cannons, broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, and this is the situation. At the moment the cavalry regiment has moved to the rear, and two infantry regiments are in attack positions. Tie Ning glanced at his pocket watch and said, "After 10 minutes, the mortar fired two rapid fires, and then attacked. ”

At the beginning of the attack, Tie Ning saw through the telescope that with the explosion of mortars, many stilted buildings collapsed. The Sudanese soldiers were defenseless and bombed the camp in an instant. Many Sudanese soldiers were shot and killed indiscriminately, and they didn't know how to take precautions. Tie Ning shook his head and put down the binoculars and said, "Damn, this is also the army, it's just a flock of lambs." An operational staff officer said: "Commander, the Sudanese soldiers have never experienced large-scale hot weapon combat, and it is reasonable that they are in this state. ”

The battle ended in less than two hours, and the fleeing Sudanese were escorted back by the cavalry regiment. After more than two hours of fighting, the Sudanese soldiers actually lost 1,500 people. It's a little too wicked. The reason is that the Sudanese soldiers live in very dense buildings on stilts, and many Sudanese soldiers are reimbursed by mortars, and only 100 mortars have exerted dozens of times the power. It's terrifying. In addition, after the attack began, the Sudanese soldiers did not know how to protect themselves like headless flies, so there were large casualties.

On the night of the capture of Lunk, a 500 people's regiment arrived at Lonk to take over and take over the prisoners. In the middle of the night, Tie Ning led his troops straight to Gongga. It is concocted in the same way, without any effort. Eliminated 3,000 Sultan soldiers of Gongga, and the Sultan's cave Tanjung portal was opened. Two days later, the Sultan received a report from the fleeing soldiers, and an army of Lan Fang appeared. ate the armies of Longke and Gongga in a row, and said that Lan Fang's soldiers and horses numbered tens of thousands.

The Sultan was stunned when he heard this, and one of his subordinates said, "Lord, we have always reconciled with Lan Fang. Well water does not interfere with river water. What are Lan Fang people going to do? Another subordinate said: "Do you still need to ask, the Lanfang people are trying to rob our land." My lord, I suggest that the Dutch be called upon for help at once. In addition, troops were quickly mobilized to defend the imperial city. The king of the Sultan woke up like a dream and said urgently: "Immediately ask for help and transfer troops." ”

The Dutch governor was taken aback by receiving a distress letter from the Sultan, and he ordered his troops to strengthen their defenses and not to send troops on their own, and then the Dutch governor sailed to Singapore and met with the British governor to discuss countermeasures. The Dutch governor was called Robben, and the British governor he was going to meet was called Moore. Moore was calm when he heard what the Dutch governor had to say. After all, Kalimantan is not within the scope of the British shili, so there is not much responsibility for him.

But visitors are allies. It is also the duty to help each other. Moore pondered for a long time and said: "Mr. Robben, at present, the British army is defending India and the Malay Peninsula, and the Chinese army is eyeing each other, and now it is impossible to draw a single soldier. Besides, little Lan Fang can't make much waves, and they are now taking advantage of the fire to rob. I suggest that you requisition the garrisons of Sumatra and Java to support the territory of Kalimantan. Let Lan Fang and the Sultan fight first, and when they are both defeated, you can take the opportunity to attack, maybe defeat Lan Fang in one fell swoop and occupy the entire island of Kalimantan. Robben was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately went to Jakarta to move troops.

The news soon reached the headquarters of the Allied Forces in Tokyo, where the commander, Han Ruowei, had a unique opinion, and his judgment was very different from that of the British governor. Han Ruowei looked at the map of Nanyang and said: "It is no accident that the Lanfang people suddenly started to grab the land, it must be the Chinese Empire behind it. If I'm not mistaken, China has already sent troops into Kalimantan secretly. Those natives are their opponents. ”

Chief of Staff Bill said: "Commander, the Chinese have requisitioned a large number of troops, it is impossible that there are no signs?" "Don't forget, Lan Fang is Chinese, they just need to send officers. Tell the Dutch that they will definitely do something to the Dutch after they have cleaned up the natives. Since the Lanfang people dared to make a move, they had already planned it, and the Dutch couldn't resist it. The Dutch were advised to withdraw from Kalimantan. ”

"What is the purpose of this Chinese?" Chief of Staff Bill asked. Han Ruowei said: "After the Chinese army took Taiwan, our island chain defense was torn apart. At present, the Chinese fleet already has large-scale combat capabilities, and the weakness of the Chinese Navy is the overall inadequacy. I think the next target will definitely be Japan...... The Chinese are distracting us, and we cannot be fooled. Since Lan Fang wants to toss on Kalimantan Island, let him toss. They don't have a navy and don't threaten us. Wait for us to free up our hands to clean up Lan Fang. ”

When the Dutch governor Robben was requisitioning troops in Jakarta, he also received an order from the coalition headquarters to evacuate Kalimantan Island. Robben did not dare to make his own decisions, and immediately sent a report to inform the Dutch emperor. Is it easy to build a colony, the Dutch emperor lobbied Britain to let the coalition send troops, and the British refused his request. The Dutch emperor had no choice but to immediately form troops at home, and at the same time lobbied allies such as Belgium, Spain, and Portugal to demand that the three countries send troops in favor of them. In this way, 30,000 horses and horses went on an expedition to the South Seas.

However, Robben was unable to ride a tiger, and he received an order from the emperor not to evacuate the territory of Kalimantan, and informed him that reinforcements had departed. Robben immediately drew 3,000 men and transferred them to the territory of Kalimantan to strengthen the defenses.

This time, in order to cooperate with the Lanfang operation, Deng Zixuan ordered the Burmese Front to create signs of a big move, and increase troops in the narrow strip of the Indochina Peninsula, posing as an offensive jiashi, which frightened the British army even more dare not divide its troops.

The ambush battlefield was in shambles, and the reinforcements of the sultan king besieging the imperial city were annihilated. Wang Zhi walked over a little depressed and said, "Commander, this is called war, it's like driving sheep." "Alright, stop whining, how's it going?" Tie Ning asked. "Two thousand prisoners were captured, and the rest were scattered." "Order the troops to assemble, and if the Sultan wants to resist to the end, we will capture him alive." Before the troops advanced to Tanjung, the Sultan fled to Sulawesi with his troops in a state of desperation, and the entire Sultan's territory was pocketed, and the month-long campaign ended uneventfully.

In mid-August, the Iron Solidification Division returned to Pontianak. Lanfang is boiling, Pontianak is boiling. People sang and danced to welcome the triumph of the warriors. Tie Ning led 3,000 people to sweep the Sultan in one month, which was a miracle in the history of the Lanfang Republic, which gave great encouragement to the chief and officials. At the reception, the chief said happily: "Commander Tie is worthy of being a warrior of the mainland, and in the future, you will be in charge of Lanfang, and we have the backbone." Iron Commander, please! ”

Tie Ning smiled: "The chief is too polite, we are now a family, why are we so polite." Besides, the Sultan is too weak to be called an opponent, and there is no need to show off. The next step against the Dutch is the main thing. "I heard that the Dutch have increased their troops in the south, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight!" The chief asked. Tie Ning said: "It has been clearly reconnoitred that the Dutch governor has increased his troops by 3,000 in Machen Harbor, and with the original strength, the total strength is 4,000 people. I've never fought with the Dutch and don't know how effective they are, so we're going to elaborate our combat jihua. ”

Although the British governor could not send troops, he reinforced the Dutch governor with more than 20 gunboats, and the Dutch themselves had more than 10 gunboats. Robben drove the battleship to Pontianak to demonstrate, but because Pontianak had coastal fortress artillery, the Dutch and British warships did not take advantage of it. The Dutch and British warships did not give up, so they shelled other ports of Lanfang to vent their anger. In order to paralyze the Dutch, Tie Ning did not attack. In mid-September, he ordered a brigade to move north to guard against the Dutch army in Bandar Seri Begawan, and he himself led two brigades to outflank the Dutch army at Machen Harbor, aiming at the Governor himself.

Tie Ning was very cautious and carefully studied the combat plan. Before the operation, Tie Ning held a military meeting, "According to reconnaissance, the Dutch did not have strong fortifications in the inland direction of Machen Harbor, but the Dutch gunboats were a great threat. My battle Jihua is to attack at night, first capture the Dutch battery, drive out the Dutch gunboats, zuihou and then eat the Dutch. Wang Zhi! "Here!" "Order your brigade to send a regiment, insert it as soon as the battle begins, seize the enemy's batteries, use the fortress artillery to drive away the enemy's battleships, and ensure that our attacking troops can smoothly seize the port and destroy the Dutch army."

"Yes, subordinate order!" Wang Zhi replied with his chest straight. When night came, the troops took advantage of the night to slowly outflank Machen Port. Due to the critical situation, Governor Robben concentrated all his forces around the port to prevent contingencies. In addition, Robben also placed more than 20 gunboats in the harbor, ready to support the attack with artillery fire. Lan Fang's delay in making a move made the Governor both happy and worried.

At midnight, in the headquarters, an operational staff officer said: "Commander, the operation has been planned, do you think it still needs to be changed?" ”

Tie Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, Jihua sent one regiment to attack, but now it has been changed to two regiments to attack. The feint attack also has to be realistic. As soon as the enemy ship's guns opened fire, they immediately retracted to avoid casualties. The purpose of the feint was to cover the attacking troops and seize the enemy's batteries. As soon as the battery shelled the enemy battleship, the troops immediately launched an attack on all fronts. Remember, I want to capture the Dutch governor alive. Tie Ning was very well prepared, but he didn't expect the result to be shocked. (To be continued......)
