Chapter Ninety-Four: Save the Scene from Cleaning Up
Qiao Yang operated the M7921 heavy machine gun and continued to fire at the two armored vehicles of the Dutch and Indian Army, causing them to scatter sparks and dense bullet marks and bullet holes.
The loud roar of heavy machine guns resounded almost throughout the Katarin Hotel, and the tenants shivered in fear as they hid in their rooms, and some dared to flee.
The miserable wail of the driver was heard from the AC-III armored car that was hit, and an armored car directly lost control and crashed into a house on the side of the road; The other car appeared to have ignited the fuel tank, so it burst into flames on the spot, and the whole car became a large fire ball in just a few seconds.
Due to their limited field of vision, they didn't even know where the incoming fire was coming from.
But the other soldiers knew, but the ills of lax military discipline were vividly manifested at this moment, and the Dutch and Indian soldiers who jumped out of the truck were at a loss for what to do - what to do now? Do you want to shoot at that machine-gun fire point upstairs in the distance? What to do with the two tanks in front of you?
The Dutch lieutenant who led the team yelled and ordered one platoon to ride to the hotel while the others laid siege to the two tanks.
However, they had no anti-tank weapons and could only throw grenades or fire grenades.
However, how can it be a threat to tanks unless it is a cluster grenade? Steel plates with a thickness of more than ten millimeters are fragile, but they are only relative.
The fearless and fearless Zhou Changfeng drove the tank in the direction of the pursuing Dutch and Indian troops, and there was also a shooting hole in front of the driver's position of the CTL-3 tank, so Zhou Changfeng stretched out an MP-18/28 submachine gun.
Two Javanese soldiers who had no time to find cover were knocked to the ground, while the M7919A4 machine gun operated by Wang Mingfa beat the enemy to the ground with accurate short bursts.
The small space in the car is easy to get moths, and just now Zhou Changfeng shot a shuttle submachine gun, and several bullet shells jumped into Wang Mingfa's collar, burning his teeth.
At this moment, hundreds of Dutch and Indian troops were so suppressed by crossfire that they could not move, and the explosion of the grenade had no effect on the tank.
With two tanks on the front and heavy machine guns on the hotel on the side, the scene of the already thin Javanese soldiers being hit by 12.7mm bullets was very bloody - a limb hit was equivalent to an amputation, and a torso hit was almost like a halving!
Such a horrific fate made them completely afraid to lean out, but dared to huddle behind the wreckage of the armored vehicle or in the houses on both sides of the street, and fired indiscriminately in the general direction.
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, it'll be troublesome when their reinforcements come!" Wang Mingfa shouted loudly while changing the cartridge belt.
"The car that came to pick it up should be coming soon...... Look, left! Before Zhou Changfeng could finish speaking, a van slowly drove over from behind.
Three smoke-emitting grenades were thrown from the van in quick succession to obscure the view.
The two tanks also began to reverse with understanding, and then several people opened the hatch and got out of it.
Zhou Changfeng ran to the van with his waist and then boarded the van one by one, and then the truck reversed quickly, and then turned around very beautifully and accelerated to the southwest.
At this time, the Dutch and Indian troops, who had been ordered to go to the hotel, rushed into the Katarin Hotel like a wolf, and the terrified tenants and waiters were driven outside.
The heavy machine gun upstairs was still ringing, and the sound of the gunfire was like a hammer smashing into the heart, which made people tremble.
A few minutes later, a dozen Javanese soldiers, led by two Dutch non-commissioned officers, reached the door of room 0907.
However, the door had been locked, and Shen Yu and the others had moved the bed and cabinet behind the door, so the Dutch and Indian soldiers couldn't push it open.
Enraged, they shot directly at the doorway, then tossed the collapsed door aside, and began to try to knock the cabinet down.
The gunfire stopped, and outside the window of room 0907, Qiao Yang and Guo Shenggen climbed up the rope into room 1007.
Shen Yu stayed until the end, he fastened a ring with a thin thread to the window, sneered in the direction of the door, and then climbed up the rope.
Once they were upstairs, they pushed open the door without looking back, and instead of taking the elevator, they went straight to the stairwell.
After pushing open the cabinets and beds in the way, the Javanese soldiers who rushed into room 0907 did not see a single figure, but through the glass window, they could see heavy machine guns and mortars on the platform outside.
One of the Dutch corporals who led the team walked over in a rage, "These damned rebels! With that, he pushed the window open.
The thin wire was pulled off, the safety pin of the instantaneous fuse was pulled, and a dozen 50g or 100g pieces of TNT in a large suitcase were detonated on the spot.
"Boom!"
Shen Yu and his party, who were in the stairwell, were shaken by the vibration of the explosion and almost rolled down.
Shen Yu, who looked as usual, smiled slightly and said, "It's so convenient, you don't need to deal with the scene by hand." ”
On the street, Zhou Changfeng, who was riding in the van, saw a cloud of flames and gunpowder smoke gushing out from a window on the ninth floor of the Catalin Hotel, billowing black smoke into the sky.
Everything happened so quickly, from the discovery of the attack at the Tadio barracks to the forcible assault on the villa, it was only a quarter of an hour.
The 1st Dutch and Indian Division, which was not in combat readiness, was now in disarray, and many of the officers were on leave, and after enjoying a leisurely time in the officers' club in the evening, it was natural that they were still asleep in the morning.
The telephone numbers of the division headquarters were almost blown up, and some of the scattered regiments and battalions could be contacted, and some could not be contacted.
Until now, it was not clear whether it was the indigenous rebels who carried out the attack, and the indigenous rebellions on the islands of Java and Sumutra have been intermittent, but the direct attack on Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies, has not been seen for many years.
Compared with the colonial army that pulled the crotch, the Dutch and Indian police were more reliable, but this "reliable" only meant that they only reacted to a certain extent, rather than directly numb their claws like the Dutch and Indian army.
But how can a few Javanese policemen with pistols and the most powerful weapon being a lever rifle stop a modified van?
There was a hastily set up checkpoint on the road leading to the outskirts of the city, and Guo Shenggen, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, immediately opened fire, and with the M95 "Hambreger" rifle in his hand, he scored five shots and four shots, including two headshots, and the truck easily rushed out of the city.
The departing truck stopped at the intended location, where two trucks pretending to be carrying fruit were already waiting on the side of the road.
After making sure everyone was on board, the two trucks set off and headed for the railway on the outskirts of the city.
Although he had always maintained a calm and breezy expression before, Shen Yu couldn't help but complain now.
"It's really thrilling, Brother Zhou, are you here to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace?" He said with a wry smile.
"Shouldn't it be a pleasure?" Now it was Zhou Changfeng who didn't care, and he said lightly: "It's so smooth, several backup plans haven't come in handy, what's so thrilling?" The colonial army of the Dutch was too stretched. ”
Shen Yu rolled his eyes, "Because they are not prepared for war at all, you are a sneak attack, if it is really out of combat readiness, you dare to act so boldly?" ”
"I don't dare." Zhou Changfeng replied frankly, and then said: "But who told them to be not wary at all? Blame me? ”
