"Bang!" A crisp rifle sounded, and I saw a Spanish Army soldier who was fleeing, falling to the ground, and after a few convulsions, there was no longer any life!

Under the fierce blows of the Xinhua army, the Jose coalition army soon collapsed. After Callisto and other commanders took the lead in escaping, the rest of the ordinary soldiers even ran away, having long forgotten their duties as soldiers. At this time, saving your own life is the most important thing!

The Xinhua Army pursued these collapsed Jose coalition forces. Several cavalry companies played a huge role at this moment. On the wide plains, the cavalry galloped on horseback, wielding swords in their hands. In the high-speed charge, the cavalry only needed a little force to easily cut off a head. Life seems so fragile at this moment!

"Surrender to avoid death, surrender to shoot or kill!" Half-baked Spanish and Dutch rang out on the battlefield. Some of the Chinese in Luzon knew Spanish, and many of the Chinese in Lan Fang knew Dutch, and they taught these two sentences to the other soldiers before the battle began. After the rout of the Jose coalition army, the soldiers of the Xinhua army, while pursuing, shouted such slogans!

Many desperate Jose soldiers immediately threw away their weapons and raised their hands when they heard that they could live. Although becoming a prisoner of the Xinhua Army is a very terrible thing. But this is better than being directly killed by the Xinhua Army on the battlefield!

Hordes of Jose coalition soldiers, who had lost hope but wanted to survive, chose to surrender to the Xinhua army. Those who stubbornly resist. were all mercilessly killed by the Xinhua Army. The first battle of the landing of the Xinhua Army in West Borneo made the Jose Allied Army feel the strength of the Xinhua Army. Originally, they thought that they could compete with the Xinhua Army. But this battle. But it made them understand how wrong their previous ideas were!

was also shocked, and Gu Yun and his subordinates were also shocked. They joined the Xinhua Army just to avenge Gu Liubo. After taking revenge, they will inevitably have some other thoughts. Especially Gu Yun, if Lan Fangguo is not destroyed, he can at least become one of the decision-makers of Lan Fangguo. After the Lanfang Kingdom was annexed by the Xinhua State. Although he was able to become a high-ranking officer in Lanfang Country, he obviously had a lot less power than being the king and hegemon in Lanfang Country. But this battle. Let them see the strength of the Xinhua Army. Whether it was the first terrifying artillery bombardment, or after the attack began, the Xinhua army quickly defeated the Jose coalition army, which made them feel deep fear! They all know the truth. If they have other ideas. Maybe these Jose coalition forces will be a lesson for them!

The pursuit of the Xinhua army did not end until 10 o'clock in the evening. More than 15,000 Jose coalition troops were almost completely wiped out, except for Lieutenant General Callisto and others who escaped earlier, only a few hundred Jose coalition soldiers escaped, and the rest were either killed or captured by the Xinhua army! Thereinto. The largest number of prisoners were taken, more than 10,000!

That same evening. Gu Yun once again asked to see Niu Meng, the chief of the general staff of the Xinhua Army, and he hoped to kill these prisoners to pay tribute to Gu Liubo, who died in battle, and the Chinese of Lanfang who were slaughtered by the Allied forces of the West. However, Niu Meng did not agree to his request. These foreign devils deserve to die, but that is after the end of the war! If the prisoners are slaughtered now, it will inevitably make the remaining Jose coalition forces stubbornly resist to the end, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the battle! Therefore, Niu Meng assured Gu Yun that after all the Jose coalition forces were eliminated, he would give Gu Yun and the Chinese who died in Lan Fangguo an explanation.

Gu Yun also understood the truth of this, so he had to stop insisting! The current Lan Fangguo no longer exists, everything is up to Xinhuaguo!

The annihilation of more than 15,000 Dutch-West coalition troops in World War I greatly boosted the morale of the Xinhua army. Although, before the start of the war, the Xinhua Army had confidence in the victory of this battle. But before the battle began, the top brass of the Xinhua army had to prepare for the worst, that is, the enemy was very strong, and even if the Xinhua army wanted to win, it would pay a heavy price! But now it seems that the high-level leaders of the Xinhua Army are obviously overly worried, and in the face of the powerful blows of the Xinhua Army, the Dutch-Western coalition army is not vulnerable at all!

After cleaning the battlefield, counting the captures, and putting the prisoners in temporary prisoner of war camps, the Xinhua Army sent a vigilance force in the direction of Dongwanlu. After a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers were very tired, and it was about to get dark, so it was obviously inappropriate to continue the march to the east. Niu Meng, chief of the general staff of the Xinhua Army, ordered that after resting for the night, he would march to Dongwanlu again tomorrow morning. After this battle, everyone is full of hope for the annihilation of the Jose coalition army!

The temporary prisoner of war camp of the Xinhua Army was set up on the beach of Pontianak. More than 10,000 Spaniards and Dutch were taken prisoner here. The Xinhua Army sent an infantry battalion to guard them. In addition, there are also warships of the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy on the sea to assist in the defense, and if there is an accident in the prisoner of war camp, they will fire at the prisoner of war camp from the sea, and directly bombard all these prisoners of war!

The battle of Pontianak caused the morale of the Jose coalition army to plummet. Originally, the top brass of the Jose coalition army, including Lieutenant General Callisto, had a certain degree of confidence in the decisive battle of East Wanlu. However, after this battle, they suddenly understood that it seemed impossible to defeat the Xinhua army!

Late at night on July 12, Lieutenant General Callisto, under the protection of the guards, fled to East Wanlu in disarray. Before entering the Eastern Manyu, Lieutenant General Callisto gave the soldiers of the Guards a gag order forbidding them to reveal the news of the Battle of Pontianak to the rest of the troops. It's just that paper can't contain the fire, especially when the soldiers who fled from the Pontianak battlefield arrived in Dongwanlu, which immediately spread the strength of the Xinhua Army to other troops. The entire Jose coalition army was panicked for a while, and its morale was greatly affected.

After Lieutenant General Callisto returned to East Manly, he immediately found Lieutenant General de Boer of the Dutch Army, and the Governor of Dutch Indonesia, Jacques Brown. Dominica, Spanish Governor of Luzon Anthony. Pedro, for ordinary soldiers, can conspire about the situation of the battle of Pontianak, but for them, there is nothing to hide. After all, now everyone is in the same boat, and if the ship sinks, no one can escape!

"General Callisto, have we failed?" Anthony. Governor Pedro asked directly after seeing Lieutenant General Callisto. In fact, from the embarrassed appearance of Lieutenant General Callisto, you can guess the result of the battle of Pontianak. It's just that everyone still has some expectations in their hearts, hoping that a miracle will happen.

"The strength of the Xinhua Army is far beyond our expectations! Fifteen thousand of my men, they were defeated in just one hour! Lieutenant General Callisto said with some frustration. This is definitely the worst defeat he has suffered in more than 20 years in the army!

"What? How is this possible? When did the Xinhua Army become so powerful? Lieutenant General de Boer asked in surprise. In fact, Lieutenant General de Boer's understanding of the Xinhua Army is mainly on paper. The Dutch army had only fought the navy of the Xinhua Army before, and the result was the total annihilation of the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet. This makes them attach importance to the army of the new country, but they do not think that the army of the new country is much stronger than them.

Spanish Governor of Luzon, Anthony. Pedro has a certain understanding of the army of Xinhua. When the Xinhua Army attacked Manila, didn't it easily defeat the defenders of Manila and take control of Manila? By the way, the natives of Manila were also exterminated. It's just that now it seems that the Xinhua Army is even more powerful than when it attacked Manila!

"General De Boer, is the Xinhua Army so strong, just ask those routs who fled back from the battlefield! They had great artillery fire, and at the very beginning of the battle we were shelled by more than three hundred large-caliber guns, at least 32-pounder and 12-pounder. Our artillery was wiped out by the artillery of the Xinhua Army in less than half an hour! Our infantry phalanx, under the shelling of the Xinhua army, was crushed! Lieutenant General Callisto said bitterly. Recalling this battle, it seemed like an ordeal for him. Lieutenant General Callisto used the Xinhua Army's 105-mm howitzer as a 32-pounder gun and a 75-mm field gun as a 12-pounder gun. Because the rate of fire of the artillery of the Xinhua Army is generally faster than that of the Western artillery, he believes that the Xinhua Army has assembled at least more than 300 cannons!

"Three hundred large-caliber guns? How is this possible? Lieutenant General de Boer was completely stunned. According to the weight of Western artillery, the 12-pounder gun weighs almost a ton, and the 32-pounder gun weighs about 2.5 tons, and it is quite difficult to gather so many heavy guns on the battlefield. The march alone was enough to give the troops a big headache.

"General de Boer, that's what it is! Those Xinhua troops did it! What's even more incredible is that they also have a small-caliber rapid-fire gun that can accompany infantry in battle! At the time of their infantry attack, our infantry was attacked by at least hundreds of these small-caliber rapid-fire guns! Under such a powerful fire attack, no matter how brave our soldiers are, they will not be able to resist it! In such a situation, our troops quickly collapsed! Lieutenant General Callisto said. The mortars of the Xinhua Army also left a deep impact on him. This sharp infantry support artillery is a threat to their troops, even more than the heavy artillery of the Xinhua Army!
