One trick is fresh, eat all over the world.

The Western Front Corps of the Tang Empire opened the way with heavy artillery firepower, and in the five-day bloody battle of Batavia, nearly 320,000 shells were poured over the enemy's heads, almost leveling the entire city.

The Dutch army was defeated and retreated, and the city defense that was expected to last for 4~5 months was crumbled in just 5 days.

Hundreds of barricades and more than 310 kilometers of trenches, seven lines of defense backed by the city's fortified structures, and more than 140,000 defenders were easily shattered like foam under the devastating artillery fire and the onslaught of ironclad chariots.

In the five-day bloody battle, more than half of the Dutch troops suffered casualties, and more than 27,000 officers and soldiers were captured.

In the hasty retreat, they encountered the fierce pursuit of the infamous Imperial Armored Division, the 101st Great River Division, and the 103rd Red River Valley Division, leaving countless corpses and most of the supplies to flee frantically.

At this time, the Central Corps and the Bali occupation army also reported victorious reports one after another.

The Central Corps, with the Kalimantan occupation army as the main force, gathered 26,000 troops all the way in two routes, successfully landed in Yogyakarta, an important port city in the south of Java Island, and after two days of fierce fighting, wiped out more than 5,200 Dutch troops, and occupied this large central city with a population of 320,000 in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, more than 17,000 troops landed at the port of Surabaya in the north of Java Island, and after four days of fighting, they eliminated more than 2,760 Dutch defenders without danger, and repelled more than 7,000 resistance forces mainly by the White People's League, consolidating the occupation of the port of Surabaya.

The Bali occupation forces have captured mainly offshore sailing ships, and three ironclad destroyers have covered the fire, crossing the strait more than 10 kilometers wide and landing at the coastal fishing port of Nandu Mengxian County.

After clearing away the slight resistance, the follow-up army continued to flood the sea, transporting 15,700 troops ashore in three days, and 23,600 troops in five days.

At present, the Balinese occupation forces have divided their troops into two routes, advancing from east to west, sweeping all villages and towns and Dutch plantations along the way, and capturing local white wives and children.

In the full-scale war on the island of Java, the white armed militia was the backbone of the resistance, and the Dutch East Indies Governor's Office had mobilized 69,000 white militia to join the war against the Tang Empire.

And on the whole island of Java

The total number of Dutch colonial troops was only 14,400, and the total number of resistance troops of more than 200,000 was mainly composed of indigenous servants and white militia.

More than eighty percent of the main forces of the army under the command of the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies have been wiped out on the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan, which has caused an extreme emptiness of troops on the island of Java.

South Africa's all-barren war dealt a heavy blow to the British invaders, especially the textbook guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare, and achieved a brilliant victory.

On the one hand, this slapped the British in the face, and on the other hand, it gave a strong psychological hint to the Dutch colonists in the East Indies, tens of thousands of kilometers away, and added incomparable confidence.

Inspired by high patriotic fervor, adult white men, including Dutch, Belgian, German, and French, almost between the ages of 13 and 50, were all called to join the brutal war against the invasion of the Tang Empire.

Therefore, in the areas occupied by the troops of the Tang Empire, whether it is a white manor, a white plantation, a white factory or a company, it is right for the old and young women and children to catch one by one.

Every white family has men in the military, and they are all family members of criminals, and confiscation of property is the right thing to do.

The Dutch Governor's Office pinned its hopes on a national war and hoped to drag the army of the Tang Empire into a quagmire, and the fact was shocking.

The Java War did not replicate the successful experience of the Boer War, but was pressed to the ground by the Tang Imperial army, armed to the teeth, and the losses were unacceptably large.

End of March

A high-level military meeting is being held in the Governor's Palace, which was in the former Joint Office of the East Indies, which had been bombarded with shelling.

There is an old saying, called "Dong Shi Xiao Feng", and the Dutch's wishful thinking is doomed to fail. Because our ancients still have a saying; "Huainan is orange, Huaibei is orange".

Therefore, in order to win the war, we must have a profound Chinese cultural foundation, and our ancestors have left a splendid cultural heritage. ”

General Liu Zhongguo stood at the top and talked eloquently, in a very happy mood, and he glanced at the senior generals with a radiant gaze.

Then his expression was solemn, and after respectfully clenching his hands into fists in the direction of the empire, he said in a deep voice;

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Imperial Empire has a decree ......"

With an "uproar", all the senior officers attending the military meeting stood up solemnly and responded in unison; "I respectfully ask Your Majesty for instructions."

A strange look flashed on Admiral Liu Zhongguo's face, and he said loudly;

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor has a decree;

I am very relieved to hear that the Imperial Expeditionary Force is working together, and everyone is vying to be the first, raising the prestige of the country and the army in the East Indies Islands.

The East Indies Islands, the land of barbarians!

The Western feudal lords have been entrenched here for a long time, causing trouble to the East Indies islands, and regard it as a place to raise Gu, and use it as a base to look north to Shenzhou, and often have bad intentions.

The army of the Tang Dynasty helped the crisis and surveyed the chaos, re-established the Han and Tang dynasties, and educated the people.

This move is in the present and in the future.

It is hoped that all the soldiers will strive to be the first, level the East Indies Islands in one fell swoop, and reproduce the bright and bright world, so as to live up to the ambition of the hot-blooded Tang Dynasty.

I traveled thousands of miles west in Chang'an, and I eagerly hoped that the army of the Tang Dynasty would return to the country with honor and share the glory of victory. ”

This holy decree ordered the senior generals to be excited, and replied in unison with their faces flushed;

"Your Majesty, we will never give up."

"Long live my emperor...... Banzai...... Hooray! ”

"Long live the Tang Empire, long live the Royal Praetorian Guard, long live His Majesty the Holy Emperor, long live!"

The majestic and loud reply shook the sky, and the senior officers could feel the strong care of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and at this moment, their hearts were boiling with blood and they felt the supreme glory.

Admiral Liu Zhongguo's "East Shi Xiaofeng" is based on the fact that the tropical island of Java has no cavalry tradition, and it is difficult for delicate horses to adapt to the humid and hot climate of the region.

Under the command of the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, there were only two cavalry regiments, with a total of about 1,500 cavalry, all of which were deployed on Sumatra.

In the Battle of Upper Indelagili, these Dutch cavalry units had been completely annihilated by the mighty Imperial Panzer Division, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens.

Today, the Dutch army on the island of Java has lost its highly mobile forces, does not have the ability to penetrate a large area, and does not have the conditions for guerrilla warfare.

The small island of Java covers a total area of about 138,800 square kilometers and has a terrain similar to a baguette, with a length of about 970 kilometers from east to west and a maximum width of 160 kilometers from north to south.

Mountains stretch across the island from west to east, as well as large areas of tropical rainforest, with some valleys and coastal plains stretching out like strings of pearls, mostly higher than the north and west.

Such terrain conditions are destined to lack room for maneuver.

As long as the Tang Empire army held the valley passages, important bridges and towns, and blocked the ports and roads, the Dutch army was a turtle in an urn, and it could not fly into the sky with wings.

Not to mention mobile warfare, the lack of logistical support will soon suffocate to death.

Therefore, cavalry guerrilla warfare in South Africa, which often turns to thousands of miles, can only be delusional here.

Compare it to

The army of the Tang Empire is relatively well prepared, and its Royal Praetorian Guard and Royal Army are all standardized mule and horse divisions, which is also the symbol of the advanced army in the world today.

In order to adapt to the East Indies operations, the army of the Tang Empire made appropriate changes, replacing horse-drawn carts with part of trucks, tractors and mule carts, donkey carts.

A small part of the cavalry unit is used as mounts by more than 7,600 Jinjiang horses provided by Paradise Province, which is an excellent horse breed that is very adapted to the tropical humid regions of Southeast Asia, and is produced in the coastal region of Fujian.

Paradise Province has introduced Jinjiang horse breeding for more than ten years, forming a large-scale population.

This kind of horse has the characteristics of strong resistance to high temperature, high humidity and rough feeding, and also has the advantages of early maturity, good performance and high fecundity.

Not only can it be used as a pull, but it can also be cultivated in water and dry fields, but the disadvantage is that it is less explosive, has average endurance, and is smaller than warmblood and Arabian horses.

Under the condition of full preparation, the army of the Tang Empire had a high degree of field mobility, and was able to use automobiles, mules, horses, carts and cavalry units to achieve a large-scale transfer of hundreds of kilometers per day.

The expeditionary force's three-pronged offensive strategy essentially cut Java into several relatively small battlefields.

There's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide.

After losing Batavia, the most important city in the west, and losing Yogyakarta, Surabaya and other cities in the central region, the Dutch army was inevitably defeated, and this was not a situation that could be reversed with a slogan or two.

The commander of the expeditionary corps, General Fan Pengfei, was an extremely cautious veteran, and he was not in a hurry to wipe out the Dutch army, but ordered the troops to consolidate the occupied area step by step.

Today, in Batavia and its environs, more than 100,000 battalions of local natives and prisoners of war have begun large-scale clean-up and reconstruction of the city's ruins, and there are scenes of hot construction everywhere.

More than 100,000 people worked together, and the work of cleaning up the ruins of the city was progressing very quickly, and it was almost done in just ten days, and the rest was the new construction work.

The broken walls should be torn down and knocked down, and the bricks and stones that can be used should be stacked neatly one after another, and all kinds of dismantled wood should be placed in one place.

The remaining diamond rubble fills in the shell craters, re-compacts the road, and lays a thick layer of gravel to tamp it, plus fly ash or lime, which is a good foundation cushion for the road.

Asphalt is laid on these roads, green belts and dividers are created, and tall street trees are planted, and the road is a spacious, high-standard road.

After a few days of fierce fighting, the army began to occupy the surrounding towns in several ways on the existing basis, further eroding and steadily expanding the gains of the battle.

Battles large and small took place from time to time, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that time was running out for the Dutch to be completely defeated.

Looking back on it now

What a ridiculous babble it was for the Dutch to clamor to fight a war on the island of Java for 25 years or more until the invading Tang Empire army was crushed.

The Imperial Army continued to expand the area of occupation, fighting during the day and defending at night, leaving little opportunity to take advantage of.

During the Boer War, the Boers frequently attacked British transport lines and logistical supply towns, a situation that was almost invisible on the island of Java.

Because the heavily entrenched towns of Batavia, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya can be supplied directly from the sea, and the transportation line is only a few tens or even a few kilometers, and the army can be killed in one or two moments.

As for the occupation troops sent to the surrounding towns, they only carried food and ammunition for five to six days, and one infantry company could solve the problem with four mule carts, which was not very expensive.

If the Dutch army wants to grab, they can basically only kick it to the iron plate.

Random one or two gray wolf armored vehicles are parked at the intersection of the pass, and it is almost impossible to break through before the heavy machine gun bullets are exhausted, and rushing up is looking for death.
