On the morning of July 12, Surabaya seemed to have turned into a living hell. The entire city has been overrun by the rioting Indonesian natives, and the streets are littered with mutilated corpses. Among these corpses, there are Chinese, and there are Indonesians. Before the riots, there were about 20,000 Chinese in Surabaya City, but last night, at least 1,000 Chinese were killed in the riots, and the remaining Chinese also gathered on the street where the consulate was located. The consulate's guards and the Chinese elite formed improvised armies at both ends of the street to resist the attack of the Indonesian natives! The Chinese who survived were safe for the time being. But an even bigger crisis awaits them!
In the riot last night, the consulate guards and the Chinese armed forces also killed each other, relying on advanced weapons, several times to repel the Indonesian indigenous attacks on the consulate, so that these Indonesian indigenous people lost their bodies. Although there is no exact number, it is estimated that these Indonesian natives have lost at least tens of thousands of people. The huge loss not only did not terrify these Indonesian natives, but provoked their ferocity. Now, outside the street where the consulate is located, it is surrounded by tens of thousands of Indonesian natives!
"Zixiang? What to do? I just went outside to take a look, and the Indonesian monkeys had surrounded us. Looks like they're not going to let us go! Chen Mingxuan, the head of the Chen family, said.
"What are you afraid of, we have nearly 1,000 people gathered now, and there are quite a few machine guns, which are enough to deal with those Indonesian monkeys who have no weapons, as long as they dare to attack. Let them come as many as they want to die! Wu Jingping, the head of the Wu family, said.
"That being said, however, our situation is not very optimistic! A lot of compatriots have packed up, and we don't have enough medicine right now. Also, there wasn't enough food. The surviving compatriots in Surabaya City have all been assembled, 17,800 people! The food stored in the consulate is estimated to be only enough for everyone to eat for one day! Consul Wang Jingchuan said with some embarrassment.
"What are those Dutch doing? We pay so much tax to them every year, and now the Indonesian natives are rioting, and they don't care! The Zhang family's family advocate Minghui couldn't help but scold. They are Zhang's family. This time it was a huge loss! Not to mention the loss of all the industries, the children of the family have also lost one-third, which is definitely a heavy blow to the Zhang family!
"Humph! Those white-skinned pigs don't care if we live or die, I guess they want the Indonesian natives to kill us. Then we will embroach our property! Wu Jingping said angrily.
"If it is not my people, their hearts will be different! If we Chinese want to live a good life, we still have to rely on our own talents after all. Good news for everyone, one of our warships, the destroyer 'Xiaoshan', has arrived in Surabaya, right on the sea. As long as the Indonesian natives dare to attack, the destroyer 'Xiaoshan' will provide us with fire support!" In addition, a larger light cruiser 'Lishui' and a heavy cruiser 'Fuchunjiang' arrived on the way, and it was estimated that they would be able to arrive in two or three hours. When the time comes. Powerful naval guns can send these Indonesian monkeys to hell with ease! Colonel Lin Zixiang said to everyone.
"Haha! The empire has not forgotten us! The battleships of the Navy are coming! The navy's naval guns are full of power! One shot can kill a large area, even if there are more Indonesian monkeys. It is estimated that it is not enough to kill the battleship! "Many Chinese people have a smile on their faces!
"No matter how powerful the battleship is, can it still go ashore? Don't forget, we don't have extra food and by tomorrow we'll be starving! The Zhang family's family advocate Minghui said with some dissatisfaction. He always had a knot in his heart. It is believed that if it were not for the empire's desire to annex Indonesia, there would have been no riots. Their Zhang family will not suffer such a heavy loss!
"The Navy's warships can't go ashore, but the Marines can! The 51st Regiment of the 5th Marine Division had already set off at 2 a.m. yesterday evening, and they were arriving from Singapore in two days at most. As for the lack of food, it should be no problem for all of us to save a little and stick to it for an extra day! Colonel Lin Zixiang said.
"That's right, isn't it just a day of hunger? What's wrong with that! By the time the Imperial army arrives, we'll be safe! Wu Jingping said loudly. In the eyes of everyone, hope was also rekindled.
"Brother Zixiang, the latest news, the Dutch army outside the city has been defeated by the Indonesians. The Indonesian army recruited by the Dutch fought back, and together with the Indonesian natives in the city, almost wiped out the Dutch army outside the city. Now, the leader of the riot has turned into Kru of the Indonesian army. After the Dutch have been wiped out, these Indonesian natives have acquired a lot of weapons, and they are afraid that they will soon attack us! Shui Sheng said anxiously.
"Huh? Why did those Dutch people go so unbeaten, and the regular army was actually annihilated by the mob! ”
"Who told those Dutch to raise tigers! Those Indonesian natives are white-eyed wolves who can't be raised! ”
"Alright, let's stop arguing, no matter what, we have to hold on until reinforcements arrive. Shuisheng, you lead people to defend the west, I defend the east, and no matter what, you must stop the Indonesian natives from attacking, otherwise, we will all be finished! Consul Wang, you are in contact with the navy and provide us with fire support at any time! Colonel Lin Zixiang ordered.
"Okay!" Consul Wang Jingchuan and Shui Sheng both replied.
"Fellow citizens, we have no way back now. Reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, and we will be victorious as long as we hold out until tomorrow! As long as you can still move, let me participate in the battle! Lin Zixiang shouted loudly!
"Good! Fight with those Indonesian natives! The Chinese who survived shouted one after another!
A kilometre from the street where the consulate is located, several indigenous Indonesians in gray military uniforms in black are scanning the barricades built by the Chinese with binoculars. These Indonesian natives are the commanders of the Indonesian army recruited by the Dutch. However, in last night's battle, they turned their guns on the Dutch, annihilated almost all the Dutch, and succeeded in becoming the leaders of these riotous Indonesian natives. The leader is a middle-aged Indonesian native named Kru. He was a regimental commander with high prestige among Indonesians, and his dream was to get rid of the Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia and establish a country that belonged to Indonesians. Now, with the help of this riot, he seems to be able to fulfill his dream!
"Crewe, are we really going to do something to the Chinese? China is a big country! If we kill too many Chinese, China will not let us go! As long as they send some random troops, it will be enough to destroy us! A young Indonesian said with some concern. China's prestige is already far and wide. Naturally, these elites among Indonesian natives are also well aware!
"Putra, we don't have any other options now. The Chinese have no less ambitions for Indonesia than the Dutch. We are under the rule of the Dutch, and we have one more day of independence. But if you fall under the rule of the Chinese, you will never have a chance! Look at what they are doing in other parts of the South Seas, they will directly annex Indonesia! Only by taking advantage of this opportunity to capture a large number of Chinese can we take these Chinese hostages and force the Chinese to agree to our conditions and allow us to become independent! This is our last chance! Crewe said!
"But it's still too risky. There is already a Chinese warship on the sea, and there must be more on the way! Putra said.
"Don't worry, it's just a cruiser, and it won't pose any threat to us! As long as we quickly break through the Chinese consulate and take those hostages in our hands, the Chinese will not dare to act rashly! Crewe insisted. Although the displacement of the Fuqing-class destroyers is only 1,800 tons, it is already comparable to some light cruisers in the West. Krewe and these people have only seen the warships of the Dutch Navy, and this displacement is already a very good cruiser in the Dutch Navy!
"Alright then, Crewe, let's hope we can make it in the end!" Putra had to stop holding out!
"Sunobi, in half an hour, let your people do it and break through the Chinese barricades!" Crewe commanded. Sunobi was the first indigenous Indonesian to kill Chinese, and he also became the leader of the indigenous Indonesians during the riots. It's just that after the soldiers of Kru joined, they quickly seized the ruling power of Sunobi.
"Okay, General Crewe, I promise to break through the defenses of those damn Chinese and kill all the Chinese inside!" Sunobi said in high spirits. He is very happy with where he is now. Before last night, he was nothing more than a desperate poor man, and now he has become one of the leaders of the Indonesian riots, no, should be one of the leaders of the uprising! He couldn't help but thank Allah, this qiē is amazing!
At 9 a.m. on July 12, tens of thousands of indigenous Indonesians, armed with knives, guns, sticks and other rudimentary weapons, launched an attack on the street where the Chinese consulate was located. These Indonesian natives, one by one, are red-eyed and fearless of death, as if they don't put their lives in their eyes!
"Put it in! We don't have a lot of ammunition, so save bullets! Contact the Navy and ask for their support! Colonel Lin Zixiang ordered!
"Bang bang bang! Da-da-da-da! "As soon as the Indonesian natives approached, the Chinese guarding immediately opened fire, and the dense bullets swept out, knocking the Indonesian natives who were desperately charging to the ground!
