Chapter 44: This Is a Massacre, Not a War
As soon as Jakarta was attacked, the Royal Netherlands Army was awakened, and the troops began to assemble, and groups of soldiers began to put on their equipment and were ready to send reinforcements to the port position.
No one knows who the attackers were, but it doesn't matter.
In Jakarta, two Royal Netherlands infantry divisions are stationed, one by the sea less than two kilometers from the port of Jakarta, and the other on the western outskirts of Jakarta.
Just as the two infantry divisions began to assemble, the batteries had been destroyed, and the third round of artillery salvos was fired, and the targets went straight to the two barracks.
There were no bunkers, no protective trenches, and the flat barracks were hit by naval artillery, and the fate can be imagined.
Amazingly powerful naval guns, a series of shells fell, and the two camps were instantly engulfed by a violent explosion.
The 355-mm naval guns, using anti-personnel grenades, had an absolute killing range of more than 300 meters, and large swaths of the barracks were blown down by the shock wave of the explosion, and the soldiers were either torn apart by the explosion or their internal organs were shattered by the huge force of the explosion, resulting in internal bleeding and death.
In the Governor's Palace, Autrell listened to the dense explosion in his ears, and the whole person was stupid, as a soldier, he knew better than anyone what this explosion meant.
Large-caliber naval guns, which must be large battleships, the point of attack is at the station of two infantry divisions, how can the flesh and blood soldiers withstand the terrible destruction of naval artillery.
"Britain, France or America...... Which country is it? ”
Autrell ran his hands through his hair, he couldn't think of any country that would attack the Dutch colonies, the most important thing was that the attackers must have assembled a very large fleet with such heavy artillery fire.
This kind of firepower, even if all the warships of the Royal Netherlands Navy are gathered together and multiplied by three times the number, I am afraid that it will not reach the current intensity and density of firepower.
This is a powerful force that the Kingdom of the Netherlands cannot resist, even if the navies of various countries in the Far East are gathered, I am afraid that it will not be more than that.
In an instant, Autrell lost all courage to resist, and in the face of such an enemy, no matter how many troops the Kingdom of Holland sent, it was useless.
The Royal Dutch Navy is no match for anyone else, and thousands of miles away cannot change the situation here.
With this in mind, Autrell slowly stood up, sorted out his clothes and appearance, and then sat quietly in his office, waiting for the final moment to come.
At the same time, the fleet on the sea, intensive artillery fire did not stop.
The port of Jakarta was already in chaos, and the flames of the explosion reflected a large part of the city.
Some of the Dutch soldiers who fled the garrison looked at the fire and explosion of the camp in front of them, and did not know what to do.
They were just colonial troops, dealing with civilians, and they had never encountered such a situation, watching most of their comrades being drowned in the explosion, and those who escaped were also cold in their hands and feet, and deeply dominated by fear, even those officers, it was not much better.
There is no army that has experienced the flames of war, how to resist the army of tigers and wolves.
When the muzzles of guns were pointed at them one by one, they instinctively lowered their weapons and raised their hands high.
The 1st Division of the Red Guard Regiment even set up artillery positions in a mountain col 10 kilometers away, preparing to cover the infantry attack on the surviving Dutch troops after the fleet stopped shelling.
However, when they quietly approached the Dutch troops, they found that the opponents who were preparing to attack had already lost their combat effectiveness, and the Dutch soldiers were disheveled, some of them did not even wear shoes, and only a few of them had weapons in their hands.
When the Red Police Corps appeared, the battle that was being prepared did not appear, and the Dutch soldiers, seeing the cold muzzle, consciously raised their guns.
Even on the faces of these surrendered Dutch soldiers, there was a look of relief, as if to say, finally there was no need to die.
This made the soldiers of the Red Guard Regiment feel that it was too boring.
Most of the two infantry divisions were killed and wounded, and the rest surrendered, and when the first division rushed into the harbor, the Dutch soldiers in the harbor, with only a slight resistance, surrendered.
In fact, these Dutch soldiers also knew that the attackers had dispatched such a large fleet that there was no point in resisting.
This is not landlock, and the fire of the ship's guns can easily send them to hell.
When the attackers dispatch ground forces, surrender is the best option, and in the face of survival, a few people will choose to die, let alone a rabble.
The battle in Jakarta ended unexpectedly, but it was only the end of the battle for the Dutch.
One by one, the Dutch soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered, but the attack did not stop.
Inside the city of Jakarta, groups of soldiers entered the city, and gunfire rang out in Jakarta and continued throughout the night.
The Governor's Palace in Jakarta, as well as all the Dutch government agencies and businesses, as well as the headquarters of several international trading companies, were surrounded and cordoned off by Red Alert soldiers.
Gunfire rang out throughout the city, and unwittingly thought it was Dutch soldiers, resisting the invaders.
In Jakarta, except for the Red Police, only Li Yishan heard the gunshots differently, this is a massacre, not a war.
All the Chinese who were gathered together listened to the gunfire outside with some fear, and they didn't know what was going on.
The entire Chinatown, protected by heavily armed Red Police soldiers, also temporarily controlled the freedom of the Chinese.
Li Yishan took advantage of everyone's sleeplessness to gather the patriarchs of various families together, because the war had just begun.
In the hall of the Li ancestral hall, facing a group of old friends who were nervous, Li Yishan said loudly: "Don't be nervous, everyone, we are safe." ”
Li Yishan's attitude made the patriarchs of each family seem to understand something.
"Brother Li, do you know what's going on?"
Li Yishan nodded and said, "The era of the Chinese who belong to us is coming, and I will introduce you to a person." ”
As soon as Li Yishan's words fell, an officer walked out of the back hall, with camouflage uniforms, heavy military boots, camouflage helmets, and colorful camouflage on his face, which made all the patriarchs on the scene a little puzzled.
The officer who came out wanted everyone to salute and said in Chinese: "You don't need to be afraid, I am ordered to protect you, and the soldiers outside are my subordinates." ”
When the patriarchs heard the familiar Chinese, with a strong hometown accent, they were all relieved, and they hurriedly greeted each other, asking questions from time to time within their identity.
Li Yishan saw everyone's reaction, so he said: "You don't need to ask, you will soon know, and there are still things that need everyone's help at that time." ”
