"Damn little devils these days! It's really poisonous! "Huang Chongren, as the patriarch of the Huang family, even if the battle in front was fierce, he never retreated into the mountains and forests behind.

The Chinese around them were notified early and gathered around the Huang family's rubber plantation.

This is a stronghold of the Chinese Armed Alliance, relying on the precipitous geographical advantage of the Huang family's rubber plantation, as well as the food and ammunition that have been stored for a long time, they can withstand the retaliation of the Japanese.

There are many Chinese in the Pontianak area. In the 18th century, many Hakka people immigrated here to mine gold. After a long time, Pontianak became a concentration of Chinese. In the last century, more than 150,000 Chinese had gathered in the mining areas of Pontianak and Sam Phat alone. The Republic of Lanfang was gradually established.

Although suppressed by the Dutch, the Chinese were scattered. However, in recent years, under the guidance of Meng Xiang's consciousness, the Chinese have gradually gathered again to facilitate joint self-protection.

This is also one of the reasons why the local Chinese were able to gather quickly after the war began.

Of course, there are also those who have illusions about the Japanese, or those who refuse to give up their family property, those who are lucky, and even those who plan to join the Japanese to obtain more profit opportunities, but not all of them are willing to listen to the call of the Chinese Armed Forces. Meng Xiang is not a saint, just do his best, it is impossible to rescue all the Chinese.

The retaliation of the Japanese came quickly.

Where there were raids by the Chinese army, the Japanese soldiers were too busy to take care of themselves, and it was difficult to withdraw to deal with the Chinese. But in those places where the Chinese army could not be reached, the Japanese quickly dispatched troops to control the Chinese first.

At this time, the Chinese have already understood to the point of life and death. The result of surrender is not necessarily in exchange for survival. No matter how much the Japanese shouted and promised, gather the Chinese in various important bases. There is no gullibility. Instead, led by the clones and the regular armed army, they launched a counterattack.

Under Meng Xiang's early planned arrangement, the strongholds in various places were chosen to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Water was secured, enough food, weapons, ammunition and medicine were stored, and some of the elderly, infirm, women and children, were even before the start of the war. I had a plan to get here one step in advance.

It was with adequate preparation that the Japanese army was deflated at the beginning.

Most of the Japanese troops who came to deal with the Chinese armed forces were second-rate troops, and the Type 99 7.7 mm machine guns that were newly installed in 39 were given priority to the front-line troops, and they were equipped with 6.5 mm Taisho 11 and Type 96 machine guns that were considered to be strong firepower, but they did not expect that they were facing a strong MG-42 cloth tearing machine.

In order not to attract too much attention from the Japanese, the number of troops sent by the vanguard army to Nanyang was not very large. In addition to the core combat strength of the landing operation, the remaining 40,000 elite troops of the vanguard army will not be many as soon as they are scattered in the thousands of gathering points in the entire Nanyang region.

Even with the addition of the novices and rookies of the Chinese armed forces, the defensive force is still weak.

There are not enough people. You can only make it up with equipment.

Unlike China in history, the vanguard army has never worried about the problem of equipment.

As a result, the Japanese had to find out helplessly. Their three-eight rifles. There was no sudden rain of bullets from the Chinese armed forces composed of rippers, submachine guns, and assault rifles.

The grenadiers of the Japanese were also useless in the face of mortars operated by elite soldiers.

The Japanese suffered a setback. The role of cannon fodder of the indigenous people was immediately recalled.

They drove a large number of natives away with promises and intimidation, intending to deplete the ammunition of the Chinese armed forces.

It's a pity that they miscalculated again.

Pieces of indigenous cannon fodder fell, and even the natives who were afraid of death in the end were rushed behind with bayonets, but they couldn't catch up, and the bullets of the machine guns and submachine guns armed by the Chinese were still jumping happily.

The indigenous cannon fodder suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties of the Japanese army, which had always liked to charge ahead, were not small, and the Chinese armed ones also suffered casualties.

The pressure of crowd tactics is still very stressful for some novices.

Fortunately, there are cores composed of those elite Chinese soldiers sent from the south or trained Chinese elite soldiers everywhere, so as to avoid unnecessary panic.

Occasional casualties are not afraid, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of protective troops left behind, even ordinary Chinese strong men can pick up guns to protect their families behind them.

The Japanese were repulsed again and again, and even though they occupied the real estate of the Chinese in other places, and even confiscated a large amount of wealth left by the Chinese, they were never able to catch a few Chinese.

The Japanese finally realized that the Chinese were premeditated to unite, and after several unsuccessful assaults, the Japanese began to drag in artillery.

Large-scale Japanese artillery was gathered on the front line, except for areas such as Singapore where heavy troops were concentrated, the artillery towed by the general local alert troops was the scale of 70 mm infantry guns and 75 mm mountain artillery field artillery. As soon as these artillery pieces exploded, the Chinese armed forces on the opposite side immediately returned fire with 75 or 76 mm howitzers and cannons.

The Japanese dispatched artillery, which was expected by Meng Xiang.

With the production of weapons at the base, it was easy to equip each gathering point with one or two artillery pieces, and in some places even directly dispatched 105-mm howitzers, completely suppressing the Japanese artillery.

There were too many scattered places where the Chinese gathered, so Meng Xiang specially dispatched thousands of artillery to support, and operated more than 2,000 artillery pieces in various parts of Nanyang for defense. If it weren't for the copycat companies and umbrella companies that came forward to take advantage of the opportunity to provide strategic materials to the Japanese to transport and cover up, as well as Huaxia's concern for the property of the Chinese, I am afraid that these artillery pieces would have been exposed long ago.

Even if there were several traitors betrayed during the period, the artillery was exposed, but with the intervention of protective umbrellas and other means, it was finally hidden without danger.

This is where today's artillery comes into play.

However, a gathering point, with only a few guns, might be able to deal with the sporadic artillery of the Japanese, but against those large artillery positions, it would not work at all.

Even though the gathering points were built in natural caves or artificially and various anti-artillery measures, they were not afraid of the general shelling of the Japanese. But Meng Xiang absolutely refused to be beaten passively like this.

All 961 Chinese gathering points in Nanyang are equipped with radios to call for support. And all the elite Chinese soldiers who came to Nanyang and those Chinese soldiers who had been strictly trained knew that the Chinese army had a timely and effective way of support -- calling for air support.

When the Japanese large-scale artillery or heavy artillery appeared, before they could bombard, or even before they could open their artillery positions, the sound of Ju-88, B-17 bombers or Il-10 attack planes flying over the artillery positions sounded early on.

The anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese homeland gradually increased, and even the Australian front line strengthened its air defense in response to the Allied bombing.

But the Japanese did not have much anti-aircraft artillery, and even after repeated bad luck among the Chinese bombers, they increased production, but they could not meet the demand everywhere.

The cost of anti-aircraft artillery is higher than that of ordinary artillery, and the Japanese may be able to meet it technically, but the high cost is really unaffordable.

Moreover, in the view of the Japanese who advocate attack, instead of spending so much money on passive air defense, it is better to invest this money in the production and development of new fighters to increase their attack power in the air.

But the fighters they worked so hard to produce were still not enough in front of the Huaxia Air Force.

From the very beginning of the landing war, more than 5,000 fighters of various types of the Huaxia Air Force have been escorting the landing war, whether it was bombers that cleared up stubborn positions in various places in advance, attack planes fighting at the forefront of the battle, or fighter planes that swept away all Japanese enemy planes in the air and completely controlled air supremacy.

In contrast, the main force of Japanese fighters was either in Australia or on the mainland, and the fighters of all kinds in various parts of the South Seas could barely gather 1,000 planes, but most of them were destroyed in the surprise attacks of the Chinese bombers on airfields in various places at the beginning of the war.

Perhaps the Korean Peninsula, which was also hit by a sudden air attack, was able to support itself with the support of aircraft from the nearby Japanese mainland and the deployment of more anti-aircraft artillery, but the air power of the Japanese in the Indochina Peninsula was soon drowned out by the roar of wild cats, thunderbolts, and wild horses.

At that time, the Japanese base camp also used the jungle area and the field test of the air strike effect as an excuse, and further saved the anti-aircraft firepower in the Indochina Peninsula. At this time, in the face of the Huaxia Air Force, which had easy air supremacy, the Japanese could only stare dryly.

Huaxia's bombers, attack planes, and even slow-moving transport planes came and went freely and without hindrance.

This also created the best conditions for the Huaxia Air Force to provide air support for the defense of the Chinese gathering points in a timely manner.

The Japanese, who were in a hurry, also began to use biological and chemical weapons in the face of repeated unsuccessful attacks.

In the minds of many Japanese, at this time, they have completely torn their faces with Huaxia, and the local air defense has been strengthened enough, and they are no longer afraid of the threat of Huaxia.

Meng Xiang and the others also took into account that the Japanese dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and might use poison gas bombs, etc., so they had early reminders and preparations.

It's just that there are still some places where you are still underprepared. Obviously, Huang Chongren was a little skeptical, so that the front line was not much prepared, but the madness of Japan made him regret it.

"We need to retreat to the back mountain!" He made a difficult proposal to the company commander Cheng Lianfeng on the front line.

"No, you don't! Our reinforcements are coming! Cheng Feng waved his hand, and pointed to the top of the bushes in the distance.

Huang Chongren took advantage of the situation to see that three strange planes with propellers on top were roaring.
