Located between Machen and Aventei, Lantao was an important base for the Dutch to advance and hoarded a large amount of supplies. However, for such an important place, the Dutch did not have enough guards, leaving only one regiment of soldiers, and this regiment was not all Dutch, only the officers were Dutch, and the lower soldiers were all local natives.

In the face of the sudden attack, the natives quickly broke up and ran away, and the Dutch officers could not stop shouting. Soon they found themselves targeted, with heavy casualties, and these people could not bear it, so they ran away.

The Dutch were dispersed, and Li Zongren led his soldiers to easily occupy Lantao, where not only the Dutch army, but also more than 30,000 indigenous people, these cattle did not have time to escape, and became prisoners of the South Chinese army.

In addition to these guys, all kinds of materials are also quite amazing, 20 cannons, 5,000 rifles, countless bullets and shells of various types, 2 million catties of food, 2,000 tents, 2,000 war horses, and other medicines, oil, clothes, and canned food are even more terrifying.

After Li Zongren saw this, he was also overjoyed, the South China army was in a period of expansion, and the more everything the better, which was just enough to speed up the pace of expansion of the troops.

"Leave one regiment and hold Lantao, and the rest of the troops will follow me to the north and encircle and annihilate Van Longer!"

Li Zongren led the troops to press over, and the battle of Barabai also reached the most critical time, the Dutch were like a tide, constantly attacking the positions of the South Chinese army, and the terrible white-knuckle battle was staged again.

A soldier's bayonet slammed into the stomach of the native cannon fodder, and when he pressed it hard, there was a large disembowelment, and blood spurted out like an arrow. A kick kicked the corpse away, and a bayonet picked it up from the other side. The soldier hurriedly flashed back, the blade slashing against his chest, and the flesh was cut open, and a line of blood appeared.

Ignoring the pain, the soldier stabbed the bayonet in the chest, right in the chest of a Dutch officer, who was quite stout, and held the bayonet with both hands, trying to block the momentum of the advance, but the soldier suddenly strained his feet. He took two sharp steps, and the tip of the knife stabbed into the flesh, just as the creature's heart was pierced, and the huge body fell to the ground.

"Fire!"

Seeing more and more soldiers falling, Van Longer's eyes were already red. He didn't expect these people to be so difficult to deal with. Usually they cost three or five soldiers. In order to take down an opponent, if he continues to fight like this, his troops will be consumed before they reach Yavintai.

Therefore, he also went crazy, and the artillery fire continued to bombard the Nanhua side, and the casualties of the soldiers skyrocketed. The number of people is growing. They didn't care about the casualties of the natives at all, they first drove the natives to kill, and as soon as the two sides entered a white-knuckle battle, they immediately opened fire. Blew up the natives and South Chinese soldiers together.

Li Xun brought a total of 2,000 people, and during the sniper battle, although it was hard, only more than 200 people died, but now the total number of casualties has exceeded half, and less than 600 people can stand and continue to fight, and the situation is already precarious. But in the face of the despicable style of the Dutch, Li Xun almost crushed his steel teeth, but there was no more way, he could only rely on blood and life to hold on.

"Don't be rampant, your bad luck is not far off!" Li Xun scolded secretly.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the other side's position, Fan Longer showed a triumphant expression: "Descendants of the sea coachman, rush, show your courage and destroy these yellow-skinned monkeys!" ”

Just as he was about to launch a blow at Zuihou, suddenly his subordinates hurriedly ran to report: "Your Excellency, Commander, something is wrong, an army has captured Lantao and cut off our rear route. ”

"What!" As soon as Fan Longer heard this, he immediately felt as if he had been poured cold water, and his high emotions disappeared in an instant.

"What did you say, tell me again?"

"Lantao is lost, we can't go back!" The soldier said almost in a crying voice.

"Bastards, damn yellow-skinned monkeys, if you dare to play intrigues, you won't end well."

When the Dutch officers in the command heard the news, they also looked at each other in panic. Now the situation is already obvious, Nanhua first attacked Yawentai, lured them to rescue, and then blocked them with a small force, and then the main force went around their backs, which was a clear intention to annihilate them.

"Commander, we must retreat, we can't take care of Aventai anymore, otherwise we are in danger of being wiped out."

Van Longer turned around twice, he was not willing to retreat like this, once he retreated, it was equivalent to admitting defeat, and his reputation was all over.

"Give me an order to the waterway party, let them move closer to us as quickly as possible, and then concentrate all the main forces to break through the blockade."

As soon as the chief of staff heard Fan Longer's order, he also nodded, maybe this was also a way for Zuihou, he was about to arrange someone to convey the order. But at this time, someone sent another telegram, and it was sent by the troops who were traveling by water.

When they were halfway north along the Barito River, they suddenly inserted a large number of huge logs upside down in the river, which were densely packed like rows of guards, and sealed the river, so that the boats could not go at all.

While they were trying to clear the wood, the guerrillas continued to fire at them on both sides, and the movement of the troops was seriously delayed, and the advance was not carried out as originally planned.

"They've been under attack since yesterday, and after a day, they've cleared about half of the wood, it's all settled, and there's still a day to go."

"Bastards, these bitches raised them, their march is blocked, weishenme doesn't report it immediately, weishenme!"

"Commander, they said the radio was broken, it was just fixed!"

"Bastard, they're committing a crime, I'm going to court martial to sue them!" Van Longer jumped like thunder, but he couldn't help it, the Dutch had been comfortable for too long, and Wen Tian had lost his combat effectiveness.

"They can't get there, we can rush over." Van Longer said loudly: "Break through to the west, rush to the Barito River as soon as possible, and go south along the river." ”

"Commander, there are already enemy troops on the other side of the river, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous for us to go over."

"It can't be worse than here, if there is no river, do you think we people can easily retreat?"

The Dutch were also silent, their north and south roads had been blocked, and the east was a dense rainforest, and if you entered, you might never be able to get out, and the only way to survive was to the west, as long as you ran to the Barito River, along the river to the south, the two armies converged, and perhaps there was a glimmer of life.

But just as the Dutch were preparing to break through to the west, Bai Chongxi had already led an army and inserted it between the river and their main force. For this battle, Nanhua's troops had already made careful arrangements, and after Bai Chongxi's troops were in place, they immediately went east to kill.

At the same time, Zhang Honggang also led his troops to attack Yawentai and quickly solved the remnants of the Dutch, and then he led a regiment of soldiers to decisively go south to support Li Xun's troops.

In this way, the situation of the three-way siege has been presented, and Van Longer's main force has become a turtle in the urn, and after more than a day of fighting, about a third of the troops have been annihilated, and the remaining men and horses have surrendered.

Nanhua's troops did not stop, and immediately went south, concentrating 15,000 main forces to storm Machen, and the remnants of the Dutch garrison were already frightened, and only held out for three days, and this seaport fell into the hands of Nanhua.

In this way, the Dutch stronghold in Borneo was almost cleared, and Xu Shuzheng immediately commanded the troops, divided the sweep, and seized more territory, and at this time, Borneo fell under the control of Nanhua except for a little garrison in Britain.

More than 700,000 square kilometers of Shijie's third largest island, South China has controlled more than 500,000 square kilometers, an area that has greatly exceeded the Japanese archipelago, and the former guerrillas finally have a piece of capital that can live in peace.

In this area, the number of Chinese is about 300,000, and there are more than 20,000 natives. It does not have to rely entirely on domestic blood transfusions, and the Federal Republic of South China deserves its name.

And with the success of the First World War of Yavintai, Nanyang Chinese also began to defect to this newly established country in large numbers, and the population and army were rapidly expanding.

Of course, this war also profoundly changed the pattern of the South Seas, the Dutch can occupy a huge colony, in fact, and the help of the British is inseparable, their own strength is almost negligible, and now the founding of South China is equivalent to a kick to the broken house of the Netherlands, and suddenly the house collapsed, and the anti-colonial struggle of other islands of all sizes developed rapidly, and they demanded to break away from Dutch control.

In addition, the prestige of the British in Nanyang was also greatly frustrated, they were willing to help the Netherlands, but in the face of China's strong deterrence, they did not dare to move, so they watched the establishment of the Federal Republic of South China, they gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do. Moreover, the British themselves had to face the counterattack of the colonies, India, Burma, Malaya and other places were in turmoil, and South China was able to establish an independent state, and they were the same.

This exemplary effect was so obvious that the whole of Southeast Asia, South Asia, and even West Asia were in a state of instability, and the British were in a state of instability.

The good news also reached Zhang Tinglan's hands as soon as possible, and he was even more overjoyed, Nanyang is a treasure trove of resources, and finally has the opportunity to swallow a piece of fat, how can Zhang Tinglan not be happy.

Officials from all walks of life in the military and government were very happy, and Jiang Baili even took the initiative to find Zhang Tinglan, and said with a smile as soon as they met: "Humble words, since Nanhua has been founded, I think we should take the initiative to recognize their status, boost morale, and inspire people." ”

Zhang Tinglan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Baili, why are you in a hurry, the problems in Nanyang are complicated, in fact, it not only involves the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, but also the United States." Nanhua, let's not rush to admit it first, but we can give them a fleet, Nanyang is an archipelago country, and it can't work without a navy. (To be continued......)
