Chapter 171: The Madura People
() Chapter 171: The Madura People
Plugging in his waist knife, Weng Dong grabbed an old-fashioned single-shot rifle from Manchester that was much older next to him, and strode out of his house! Today he is going to lead the people of his tribe to kill all those Chinese and rob them of their wealth and women! He has been yearning for this kind of thing for a long time! Moreover, he still can't forget the soft ** of those Chinese women and the frightened expressions when he cut off their heads with his own hands! Thinking of this, Weng Dong can feel the stupid greed and bloodlust in his heart! He couldn't help it anymore!
"Bachai, are the clansmen ready?" Weng Dong asked loudly looking at the shirtless, short, but stocky man who looked stout and stocky.
"Patriarch, the clansmen can't help it for a long time! They all think that the patriarch will lead them to taste the blood and wealth of those Chinese again!" Bachai tightly grasped the long knife in his hand, and the god replied excitedly!
"Got it, let's go!"
The Madura are a large tribe scattered across the island of Madura and East Java, with a population of nearly 1.5 million!
"Tribesmen, Madura Island and East Java have always been the living and breeding places of our Madura people, our ancestors have lived on this land for generations, but the greedy Chinese from the distant Qing Dynasty have brutally exploited us, they have robbed us of our land, driven our people into the farm, and worked hard for them every day, but they can't get a meal or clothing, are you willing to live this life?" The black pressure was overwhelming, and the Madura man, who was carrying bows and arrows, swords and guns, roared loudly.
"We don't want to!!"
"Tribesmen, now these Chinese have driven out the Dutch who once ruled here on the island, they occupy this place, but they still have the idea of enslaving us like the Dutch, our hard-earned wealth will be deprived by them, we have no power here, do you want to live like this?"
"We don't want to!!"
"How terrible is the wrath of the Madura people who have been, with our own knives and guns and the bows and arrows on our backs, to tell the rich Chinese who have taken advantage of us!
"We want it!!" All the Madura people in the square were aroused by Weng Dong's short words! One by one, they looked at the patriarch on the stage with bloodshot eyes and shouted loudly! Now, they are already demons who have lost their minds and lost their minds stimulated by the greedy hope in their hearts!
Looking at the people under his feet who were raising the swords in their hands one by one, and looking at the people who let out his ugly screams with excitement, Weng Dong nodded secretly with satisfaction in his heart! At this moment, he always felt the pleasure and satisfaction of holding power in his hands! He couldn't resist this temptation! Just like he couldn't resist plundering the wealth of the Chinese!
"Okay! Everyone listen to me, today almost all the tribes on the island have already discussed, we will jointly overthrow the rule of the Chinese on the island, and then use our swords and guns to establish a complete Java state, then everything on the island will be ours! Therefore, for the realization of all this beautiful thing, let us grab the swords and guns in our hands, follow me and set out to kill all the Chinese in the city!"
――――――
Gao Jingguang is the company commander of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Marine Division, and today he was tasked with holding on to this main road from Surabaya City to Jaban, and preventing all attempts to enter Surabaya City through any indigenous militants!
After receiving this order, even though Gao Jingguang had been in the army for more than two years and was accustomed to seeing life and death, he couldn't help but gasp! As a middle-level officer, he understood the military regulations of the Huo family's army! There were still very few naked killings like this that were revealed!
Looking at the soldiers who were digging their positions and setting up their machine guns, Gao Jingguang took a deep breath! An order is an order, and he still has to resolutely carry it out!
"Boss Gao, the division headquarters is really generous this time, 20 scorpion light machine guns, five Type 80 heavy machine guns, and 500,000 rounds of ammunition, which is enough for us to consume ammunition for a week! For this operation, the headquarters and the division headquarters seem to have invested a lot of money!" Instructor Geng Jianfeng looked at the equipment list in his hand and said excitedly! According to the army composition of the Huo Jiajun after the first military reorganization, a standard regular army company-level unit has a total of three combat platoons and a 60 mortar platoon, with a total of 192 people! Equipped with 192 Type 80 rifles, 48 pistols, nine Scorpion light machine guns, three Type 80 heavy machine guns, and three 60 mortars! Although this level of equipment may not be anything in a few decades, it is already incredibly powerful in this era when even the Maxim machine gun has not yet been invented! Of course, this is also where Huo Shan and Huo Jiajun's confidence lies in daring to expand outward!
"Yes, but this time our mission is not easy! According to the intelligence of the Security Bureau, nearly 20,000 natives of the Chaba Division, the largest of the Madura people, are likely to pass through our defense area! Therefore, our mission is not easy!" Gao Jingguang said with some concern on his face as he looked at the verdant rainforest in the distance. 200 against 20,000, although they have the help of Jīng Liang's weapons, but the number of their opponents is indeed ten times that of theirs! It is difficult to say what the final result will be! But this is also a matter of no choice, the 70,000 soldiers of the Huo Family Army seem to be a lot, but they are sprinkled on the island of Java, which is nearly 130,000 square kilometers, like a drop of water that melts into the sea! It is really a little insufficient! Fortunately, the General Staff has also taken into account their difficulties, so it has specially strengthened them with 2,000 light machine guns, 500 heavy machine guns, and 20 million ammunition! It can be said that for this operation, the General Armament Department has taken out all the old bottoms accumulated in the past two years!
"Don't worry, Lao Gao! With so many machine guns to help this time, no matter how many natives come, it won't be enough for us to fight!" Geng Jianfeng said confidently! As long as you have seen the power of multiple machine guns, you can understand how powerful these heavy weapons, which can reach hundreds or thousands of rounds per minute, are great when dealing with a dense crowd of people!
"Report! Company Commander, our scouts have spotted a large number of natives coming towards us from ten o'clock!"
Looking at the heralds running in, Gao Jingguang hurriedly asked, "What tribe are they, how many people are there, and how are the weapons and equipment?"
Although the herald scratched his head a little because of the series of questions, he quickly replied: "According to our identification, they are Madura people near Surabaya! However, due to time constraints, we do not have their exact number, but judging by their size, their number should be no less than 20,000! As for weapons and equipment!" It's really hard to say about the herald for a while, because after being a soldier for more than a year, they have never seen a soldier who is completely in the era of cold weapons, even the pirates he once fought on the islands of the South Seas, and the weapons and equipment of these guys are ten or more than a hundred times more advanced, not to mention their Huo family army! The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all!
In order to maintain their rule, the Dutch controlled the weapons on the island very strictly! Not to mention rifles, even iron knives and guns would be confiscated as long as the Dutch felt that they were a threat! This also caused a situation in which the entire Java Island was in short supply of weapons!
"What's going on?" looked at the hesitant look on the herald's face, and Geng Jianfeng, who was standing on the side, asked solemnly.
"That's the kind of instructor! These natives don't have a few guns in their hands at all, basically all of them are bows and arrows and broadswords from earlier! Moreover, some of them are equipped with bamboo spears, so it can be said that they are even more backward than the army of the Cold Weapon Age!"
"How can this be?" Gao Jingguang asked with some surprise! Although he knew that the equipment of the indigenous people was outdated, he was indeed a little surprised that it was so poor! In his impression, even if there are no modern weapons and equipment, there should still be some **, earth artillery, and land mines, after all, almost every Chinese will do these things in the Qing Dynasty! At the beginning, the Chinese did not use these things less to fight against foreigners who invaded China!
Of course, how can the lazy and stupid Nanyang natives compare with the hard-working and brave Han people, who have created a great civilization!
"Okay, Lao Gao, we don't care what their equipment is! In short, as long as they come, we will let him come and go!" Geng Jianfeng said firmly!
