The British Army, which was massing in Borneo, as well as part of the Dutch Army, did not know that the British Navy had been defeated.

In the early morning of the day of the collapse of the British Far East Fleet, the British Army had already left the town and was heading in the direction of Pontianak.

As Pontianak, which has a large number of minerals, there is a communication line between it and the British colony, and the British Army and the Dutch Army can only take this road, otherwise, the army will march in the deep mountains and old forests, not to mention Pontianak, even if it can get there, I don't know when.

The simple road, paved with gravel and sand, often carries a large amount of goods in normal times, the road is compacted, and the march is fast.

In order to be able to defeat the enemy quickly, the British and Dutch combined forces sent a total of four infantry divisions, with a lot of artillery, horses, and tens of thousands of troops, marching for several kilometers.

By the time the vanguard entered the original Dutch colony, the last of the marching baggage troops had just set off from the town.

Along the way, the British also continued to send vanguard troops and scouts, but there was no trace of the enemy in front, and even no human figure could be seen.

All the towns that we passed through on the way were also empty, and not even a dog could be seen.

The continuous march for several hours, as if the enemy had heard the wind and fled, also made the British soldiers feel relieved.

Along the way, the mountain road winding in the middle of the mountains, not far away is the town of Silu, the British march has gradually slowed down, and the front troops have also sent news that there is a fire in the town of Silu.

Under the imminent bright sky, the troops began to accelerate their advance.

The combat mission of the army was to reach Pontianak as soon as possible and, under the cover of naval guns, capture Pontianak.

Silu was the first important town on the way to Pontianak and the most likely place where enemy troops were stationed.

Because there are a large number of iron ores being mined around Xilu, it is natural that someone is needed to maintain order in the town, not to mention that these iron ores have always been an industry controlled by the Dutch, and the Dutch were driven away, so Fan Yize naturally wanted to occupy these iron mines.

Silu is an important town surrounded by mountains, built in the middle of a basin, with only narrow mountain roads traversing it, and no roads around it.

At this time, the vanguard of the British Army had arrived at the eastern mountain road of Silu, which was covered with vegetation and weeds on both sides, and the original trees had been cut down, and the road was sandwiched between the mountains on both sides, which was more spacious because of the need for felling trees.

On both sides of the mountainside to the top of the mountain, the Red Police soldiers lurking here are watching the British soldiers passing below.

Every move of the Anglo-Dutch forces, from the moment they set out to here, was under the surveillance of the Red Guard soldiers.

The Red Guard soldiers lurking all the way used the radio station to accurately report the advance position of the British, and in fact, there were ambush positions in the places where the Anglo-Dutch troops passed along the way.

This mountain pass near Silu was only the middle part of the ambush position, and there were ambushes by Red Guard soldiers in Silu and on several dangerous sections of the road that the British had to pass through a long time ago.

If it weren't for the darkness of the night and the carelessness of the British, you should have been able to spot the barbed wire fence pulled up on the mountainside along the mountain.

The sky was completely bright, and the vanguard of the British had reached the outside of the small town of Silu.

The British vanguard was quite cautious, and did not enter the town with a big grin, but dispersed and quietly approached.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and a British soldier about to enter the town fell with a bullet in the head.

The other British soldiers around instinctively wanted to rush into the town quickly, and the continuous gunfire rang out, and one after another the British soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

It's not that the British Army is stupid and doesn't know how to lie down when the guns rang out, but that's the way it is in this era.

The gunfire in the small town of Silu kicked off the battle, and the Anglo-Dutch army marched several kilometers long, a total of four ambush positions, and broke tens of thousands of Anglo-Dutch troops into several sections.

At the first moment of attack, a large number of officers of the Anglo-Dutch army shouted for the soldiers to crouch down and counterattack.

At the same time, the attacked coalition forces immediately launched a counterattack towards the high mountains on both sides.

The British reacted the quickest to this point, and when they were attacked, the British Army, which had reacted, had already launched an attack on the mountainsides on both sides.

However, the Red Police soldiers on the mountainside, squatting in the foxhole, did not have a single shot to attract hatred, and there were a large number of soldiers in ambush, who did not participate in the attack.

In order to deal with the Anglo-Dutch forces, the Red Guard Corps dispatched an infantry division, and before the Anglo-Dutch troops were dispatched, the 1st Infantry Division had already been ambushed in this road, reconnoitring many times, and arranging defenses.

The shining foxholes are just a decoy to attract enemy fire and the direction of attack.

On a large number of commanding heights on both sides of the mountain road, there are ambushes of Red Police soldiers.

The Anglo-Dutch losses were very sparse and the Anglo-Dutch troops were very small, but just as the coalition forces were approaching the mountainsides on both sides, they found a high barbed wire fence intercepting in front of them.

A Dutch officer who rushed to the front, brandishing a command knife, looked at the barbed wire fence in front of him with some disdain, and encouraged the soldiers behind him: "Our enemy has no means, and it is simply wishful thinking to stop our army with these small wires." ”

A large number of Dutch soldiers with rifles in the rear did not have the nervousness they had when they were attacked before.

"Cover, ready to tear down the wire."

As soon as the order was given, on the top of the mountain, a heavy machine gun lifted its camouflage, with a long barrel and a caliber of 12.7 mm, similar to the shape of a Browning heavy machine gun, revealing a hideous killing intent in this world.

The dull sound of machine guns instantly rang out on all the hills at the same time, and the rain of bullets with tracer light fell on the flesh and blood of the Anglo-Dutch coalition army.

The incomparably bloody moment, the terrifying power of the heavy machine gun, the easy breaking of limbs, and the flying blood mist are not seen by the soldiers of this era.

The terrifying firepower ruthlessly harvested the completely unprepared Anglo-Dutch troops, and the soldiers who were about to tear down the barbed wire were torn apart in an instant, and the powerful bullets shattered the fragile bodies.

I didn't have time to be afraid, I didn't have time to be afraid, I instinctively lay on the ground, and then I trembled. Shake it up.

The dense machine-gun fire can completely dominate the army of this era, and the artillery on both sides cannot be deployed in the rugged terrain, and the rest is this simple and direct means of attack.

Everywhere there were already machine-gun fire points in ambush, and the British and Dutch, who were completely unprepared and had never encountered such a terrible attack, were all confused, and the ground was littered with corpses and the remains of a large number of wailing wounded soldiers.

Terrible firepower, ferocious attacks, rivers of bloody stumps and severed arms completely broke the courage of every coalition soldier.
