"On behalf of the Spanish Expeditionary Force, the Jose Alliance, I surrender to Your Excellency! I hope you will be kind to these surrendered soldiers! Lieutenant General Callisto stood in front of Niu Meng, chief of staff of the Xinhua Army, bowed his head, and respectfully handed over his sword. The commander of the Spanish Expeditionary Force, Admiral Fernand, committed suicide, and the governor of Luzon, Anthony Fernand. Pedro was also detained by the Xinhua Army, and he became the supreme commander of the Spanish Expeditionary Force. Although, becoming the supreme commander at this time is not a good thing, and you have to bear the responsibility of defeat and surrender. But who is the highest rank in the military right now?
"We're going to give them a fair trial! Never let go of a bad person, nor will you wronged a good person! Niu Meng promised. Previously, he did not agree to the surrender of the Jose coalition army, because many of these foreign devils participated in the massacre of Dongwanlu. These foreign devils whose hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese must not think that surrender will save their lives. As a country founded by the Chinese, the Xinhua Army is the son and daughter of the Chinese, so it is natural to avenge these compatriots who died!
Lieutenant General Callisto nodded helplessly, he knew that even if he surrendered, there would be many soldiers of the Jose coalition army who were killed by the Xinhua army! At the beginning, they didn't care about the lives of the Chinese at all, so in order to vent the anger in the hearts of the soldiers, they burned, killed and looted in Dongwanlu, and did all kinds of evil. It's good now. It's time for them to take responsibility for their actions!
"May God bless us!" Lieutenant General Callisto said silently. As the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, although he was not directly involved in the massacre of the Chinese, he could not escape responsibility. Lieutenant General Callisto estimated. After the trial of the Xinhua Army, I guess I will be sent to the gallows! Although he is a little afraid of death, is there any other way for him now?
Subsequently, Dutch Army General De Boer also surrendered to the Xinhua Army on behalf of the Dutch Army. In total, the Dutch Army committed only 20,000 men in West Borneo, and several thousand more on the islands of Java and Sumatra. But. Even the powerful Jose coalition army has failed, and the remaining thousands of people will definitely not be able to make any waves. Wait until the time when the Xinhua army lands. These two islands will inevitably fall into the hands of the Xinhua army.
On the night of July 16, all the Jose coalition forces in West Borneo surrendered to the Xinhua Army, even if some of them would rather die than surrender, but. They were sent directly to God. In addition, there are some foreign devils. The Xinhua army fled before they came to the east of Wanlu. It's just that it will be very difficult for them to survive in Borneo because they are not familiar with the place. Borneo has a hot climate full of jungles and swamps, which is undoubtedly hell for Westerners. According to incomplete statistics, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Allied Holland Army fled before the fall of Eastern Wanlu. It's just that the vast majority of them didn't survive. Either they were discovered by the local Chinese and then killed. Either die under the mouth of a poisonous insect snake ant. Others entered Ikuban's territory and ended up being served as lunch by Ikuban.
"Everyone! We finally won this battle! The mighty enemy, thanks to the efforts of the valiant soldiers, bowed down to us! I have sent a battle report to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will be proud of us! Niu Meng said to the brigade commanders of the various brigades of the Xinhua Army. Gu Yun, as a representative of the Chinese in Borneo, was also allowed to attend the meeting. Of course, the current Gu Yun is a member of the Xinhua Army, even if it is to set an example for the vast number of Chinese in West Borneo, the Xinhua Army will reuse him.
The generals who attended the meeting were all beaming with joy. Long Yufei, the king of Xinhua, is not a stingy person. After achieving such a big victory, Long Yufei would definitely not treat them badly. Promoting officials and making a fortune and glorifying their ancestors are what every Chinese person desires. Most of the generals of the Xinhua Army are not from good backgrounds, and the pirates of Flying Fish Island account for a large part of the high-level of the Xinhua Army. Now, Long Yufei has finally fulfilled his original promise to them, so that they can live in the sun!
"Guys, though the battle in West Borneo is over! But our journey is not over yet! Java, Sumatra and other islands are still waiting to be conquered! The main forces of the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities have been wiped out by us, and these places will easily fall into our hands like ripe fruits! Niu Meng said.
"Chief of Staff, give the order! Our brigade asks to be the vanguard and attack the island of Java! Hu Tao, commander of the 11th Brigade, said. The soldiers of the 11th and 12th Brigades, most of whom were Chinese children of the Dutch Indonesian colonies, had long hoped to fight back and avenge the dead compatriots!
"Lao Hu, your 11th Brigade will go to Java Island, then our 12th Brigade will only go to Sumatra!" Wu Qiang, commander of the 12th Brigade, said.
"Okay, the specific assignment is as follows! The 1st and 2nd Brigades remained in Borneo to wipe out the Jose coalition forces that had fled to various places, and at the same time wiped out Borneo's indigenous forces! The 4th Brigade will attack west from East Borneo to ensure that all of Borneo is brought under the rule of the kingdom! Niu Meng said. Of course, in addition to this, Borneo has another powerful force, the Sultanate of Brunei in the north. It's just that the Sultanate of Brunei is weak, and Xinhua doesn't take this country seriously, and after the Xinhua Army clears out the enemies in other places, it will attack this Sultanate after all! At that time, the entire Nanyang Islands, with the exception of the Straits Settlements of the British, will become the territory of Xinhua!
"Yes, Chief of Staff!" Zhang Wei, commander of the 1st Brigade, and Sun Hao, commander of the 2nd Brigade, said.
"Gu Yun! I have already reported your situation to His Majesty, and I have explained your performance in this battle to His Majesty! Your Majesty is very satisfied with your performance! New appointments were deliberately made. Your Majesty has officially appointed you as the commander of the 13th Brigade of the Xinhua Army! The middle and senior officers of the 13th Brigade will be transferred from other units of the Xinhua Army! Low-level officers will also be drawn from other units. Ordinary soldiers were recruited from among the local Chinese children of Borneo! Niu Meng said to Gu Yun. In this newly formed brigade, although the soldiers are Chinese bullets from Lan Fangguo, the officers are drawn from other units by the Xinhua Army, which is conducive to the control of this unit by the Xinhua Army. After all, Gu Yun's identity is special, as the son of the previous commander of the Lanfang Kingdom, he has a huge influence among the Chinese in Borneo. If you don't strengthen your control, no one knows if Lu Dao will be hot-headed after mastering a certain army, which will have an adverse impact on Xinhua Kingdom!
"Ahh Your Majesty Xie, Chief of Staff Xie! Gu Yun swore that he would definitely smear the liver and brain of Xinhua Kingdom, and he would not hesitate to do anything! Gu Yun hurriedly said. He never imagined that he would become the brigade commander of the infantry brigade of the Xinhua Army. An infantry brigade of the Xinhua Army, with more than 6,000 people, coupled with sophisticated equipment, its combat effectiveness is enough to sweep the entire Lanfang Kingdom before. Gu Yun was very moved by Xinhuaguo's trust. He is not a fool, knowing that the Xinhua Army dispatched officers to the 13th Brigade in order to completely control this force. However, he had no other thoughts on his mind. After seeing the strong strength of the Xinhua Army, Gu Yun knew that there was no strength in the entire Nanyang that could compete with Xinhua Guoxiang, and only by following Xinhua Guo could we have a better future!
"Gu Yun! One more thing I have to inform you is that after the formation of the 13th Brigade, you will have to go to the officer school in Manila for half a year! After all, you don't know much about the tactics of the Xinhua Army, and through further training, you can master the tactics of the Xinhua Army faster! Niu Meng reminded. Most of the officers and even generals of the Xinhua Army were halfway monks. In order to improve the military skills of these guys, Long Yufei specially founded an officer training school for officers in the communist army to study. These textbooks were also written by Long Yufei. Although he is not a soldier, but in later generations, he has a lot of knowledge in this area, he has never eaten pork, and he has never seen a pig run? With the help of some theories and tactics of later generations, the things taught in these textbooks are far ahead of this era!
"Yes, Chief of Staff!" Gu Yun nodded. He knows his weaknesses, and this training is just a good opportunity to make up for his shortcomings!
"The 5th and 11th Brigades, go to Java! The 6th and 12th Brigades, then go to Sumatra! Make sure to make sure that you have the shortest possible time to understand the resistance on these islands and bring these territories under the rule of the kingdom! Niu Meng said. In addition to the Dutch, the resistance he spoke of naturally included the local natives. The citizens of Xinhua are only Chinese, and the rest of the local aborigines will not be officially recognized by Xinhua at all. Then, the safety of their lives and property will not be guaranteed! Although this will inevitably seem a little cruel to these natives. However, this world realm is like this!
"Yes, Chief of Staff!" Several brigade commanders replied one after another.
The next day, the various units of the Xinhua Army moved in accordance with Niu Meng's orders. Units going to the islands of Java and Sumatra, to which the Navy will escort them. With the main force of the Dutch Army already wiped out, the Xinhua Army easily captured the islands!
By the end of July, both Java and Sumatra had been captured by the Xinhua Army! Of course, this is only a situation, and there are still a lot of hostile forces, which need to be further cleaned up by the Xinhua Army. And this process is undoubtedly very bloody! Especially those Chinese children who were born in Dutch Indonesia, they will not spare their hands when dealing with their former enemies! (To be continued......)
