Chapter 770: Evacuation of Overseas Chinese

After nightfall, more than a thousand soldiers formed one group after another, and quickly rushed towards the outlying positions of the Dutch.

These soldiers were far from being matched by the indigenous rabble, all of whom had undergone rigorous training and had been hardened by years of guerrilla warfare. The group that rushed to the front quickly approached the outlying positions of the Dutch.

Outside the Dutch position, there were three barbed wire, these small things caused great damage to the natives, they were blocked out, some people frantically tore with their hands, some people smashed with the butts of their guns, but these were to no avail, the Dutch swept them all with machine guns, and on the spikes of the barbed wire, there were still a lot of minced meat, emitting a bloody stench.

There was nothing remarkable about the nightmarish barbed wire of the natives in the eyes of these fighters, who stuffed blasting canisters under the barbed wire. A series of explosions rang out, and several large holes were blown open in the barbed wire in an instant, and the soldiers quickly followed.

The sound of the explosion also completely woke up the Dutch, Colin stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, personally rushed to the front line to command, after several days of fighting, although the Dutch did not die much, but they were all exhausted, in the face of fierce attacks, many of them even dozed off.

Colin could only supervise the battle desperately, shouting loudly: "Don't be afraid, our reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as you hold on to this night, everything will be haode, cheer up, we are great sea coachmen, and we will not give in to cowardly clowns." ”

All the Dutch barely bothered to brace themselves, and the old bronze cannons were once again in full swing, and the projectiles continued to explode among the soldiers, and more and more soldiers died under the shelling.

Through the firelight, Colin clearly saw the afterimage of the other party, and he couldn't help but laugh wildly: "They don't have cannons. If you want to attack us, it's a dream, and I'm going to send you to God. ”

Just as Colin was screaming, suddenly there was a muffled sound on the Dutch battery, followed by an earth-shattering explosion, and a ball of fire dozens of meters surged up from the position, like a small sun.

This sudden explosion stunned all the Dutch. The ears of those who were nearby were buzzing, and even blood was knocked out.

Colin was also shocked, it turned out that an old bronze cannon had an explosion accident, and the thick barrel was all blown to pieces, and none of the surrounding soldiers ran away. All of them were blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and the nearest artillery even disappeared out of thin air.

To make matters worse, these old guns need to be fired to push the shells out. As a result, after the explosion of an artillery. The surrounding propellant was also detonated, followed by the shells. The deadly explosion easily destroyed a battery, and more than thirty artillerymen were all killed.

In fact, if the Dutch could maintain it well, such a problem would not have occurred, but the problem was usually negligent in preparing for war, and these old artillery pieces had reached a limit. In the past few days, it has been used frequently, and it is no wonder that if there is no problem, one of the batteries was almost abandoned, and the firepower of the Dutch was suddenly defeated.

Li Xun, who was in command, also noticed this situation. He was also overjoyed, and immediately concentrated four mortars and struck hard at the Dutch.

Lost the cover of the artillery, the 120 mortars were lethal to these Dutchmen, and the shells fell on their heads like hailstones, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, so that these Dutch could not raise their heads.

"Rush!"

Li Xun took the lead in leading the soldiers to rush towards the Dutch, and Colin also noticed that this side was in danger, and hurriedly rushed over with people, trying to plug the gap.

As a result, just as he rushed over, a shell exploded next to Colin, and a shrapnel slashed against his shoulder, and a piece of flesh weighing half a pound was cut off. In an instant, the blood flowed so well that Colin almost fainted in pain.

As soon as the commander was wounded, the Dutch soldiers also lost the courage to fight, and hurriedly took Colin and quickly fled back to the headquarters in the city.

The medic hurried over to bandage it, and the pain was so severe that Colin almost fainted, his head was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and the muscles in his arms trembled uncontrollably.

Just after he had just finished bandaging, suddenly his men stumbled in, almost crying: "Report to the chief, the outer position is lost!" ”

"What!" Colin slammed the table, and the sharp pain in his shoulder made him a little dizzy: "Quick, let everyone retreat to the city, fortify around the headquarters, as long as we can hold on until tomorrow, we will be saved!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly went to convey the order, and Colin's face became more and more ugly, these damn reinforcements, why didn't they rush over, as long as the arms and reinforcements were delivered, they would be afraid of these guerrillas, and they could also use naval guns to support his battle, so that the chances of victory would be more.

Just as Colin was anxiously anticipating, a total of five Dutch ships were rushing towards Samarinda, including two old ironclad ships, two munitions ships and a troop transport ship in the middle, loaded with a battalion of Dutch soldiers, who came to the rescue of Samarinda.

In the past few years, the constant harassment of the guerrillas has seriously drained the energy of the Dutch, and it is an extremely difficult thing for a small country of only 40,000 square kilometers to control a colony of nearly 2 million square kilometers from a distance of 10,000 miles, let alone the complete decline of the Netherlands.

Even knowing that Sammarinda was in danger, the Dutch reinforcements were late, but fortunately, the city had not yet been lost, and the Dutch commander breathed a sigh of relief. He commanded the fleet and sailed into the shallow waters offshore, and since this was an estuarine delta with a large amount of sediment, he had to be very careful when entering the harbor.

Gradually, they got closer and closer to the port, but suddenly, a loud bang broke out from the bottom of the water, and the ship that was in front was sent out of the water by a huge force for two or three meters, and then fell heavily on the sea.

How could the old ironclad ship withstand this kind of toss, it had already fallen apart when it fell on the water, and the sea water poured in quickly from the broken bottom of the ship, and the warship sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next four ships did not understand the situation at all, and saw the warship sink, and countless soldiers were in the water calling for help. There was a ship that was about to go to the rescue, there was another loud bang under the water, this cargo ship was not comparable to the ironclad ship, it was directly blown open a big hole of four or five meters, it rolled sideways in an instant, and the arms on the ship were also ignited, and a tragic explosion sounded, and the ship was blown apart, like a coffin on the water.

The two warships were taken out, and the Dutch finally came to their senses, and the water was so strange that they could only scramble to retreat. However, the troop carrier deviated from its original position and detonated another mine, and the troop carrier was also sunk, and a battalion of Dutch soldiers on it also fell into the sea, becoming a meal for most sharks.

Naturally, China's submarines are capable of doing this kind of thing, and several mine-laying operations have been successful, and the navy has also tasted the sweetness, so it has intensified the research and development of mines, and in addition to magnetic mines, it has also developed hydrostatic mines. Like magnetic mines, as long as there is a warship passing by while still under the water in the harbor, causing a change in water pressure, it will trigger an explosion.

This time the Dutch finally enjoyed this latest success, and the loss of three of the five ships was so great that the officer in charge of the command was so frightened that he did not dare to enter the harbor again.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally hoped for reinforcements, but this situation happened, which scared Colin stupidly. At this moment, something even worse happened, the guerrillas seized the commanding heights outside the city, and at the same time captured several more cannons, and they immediately turned the muzzles of the guns and bombarded the Dutch position.

The Dutch soldiers were so wounded and wounded that by dawn the main town of Samarinda had fallen into the hands of the partisans, and the Dutch were trapped around the headquarters.

Xu Shuzheng also entered the city in person, which was the first city captured in the past few years since he came to Nanyang, and it was also a seaport. Having a port means that more supplies can be obtained in the future, and at the same time, Borneo specialties can be transported, so that a virtuous circle can be formed, and there is no need to simply rely on domestic blood transfusions, which is definitely a great turning point for the guerrillas.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Dutch have been surrounded by us and can launch a general attack at any time."

Xu Shuzheng looked at Li Xun, who was covered in gunsmoke, and nodded: "Okay, get ready immediately, and before eight o'clock, we must solve these remnants of the defeated army." ”

Just as the soldiers were preparing, suddenly a white flag was raised in the middle of Colin's headquarters, and the Dutch surrendered!

Seeing this, the soldiers were first surprised, then overjoyed, and they did not expect that the Dutch would be so vulnerable. Of course, for Westerners, surrender is not an unacceptable thing, Colin is also very calm, he has done his best, but at this point, what else can be done except surrender!

A battle ended prematurely with Colin's surrender, and the guerrillas finally seized a coveted port and captured a large amount of supplies, but these were of secondary importance, and they were finally able to show their banner in the open.

Just after the capture of Sanmarinda, Xu Shuzheng and others officially sent a telegram, announcing the establishment of the South China Autonomous Federation, and at the same time announcing the establishment of the South China Volunteer Army, aiming to liberate the oppressed Chinese in Nanyang.

This news was like thunder, breaking the tranquility of the Far East, and people with a discerning eye knew that the Nanyang Chinese could establish a country, and there must be a shadow of China behind it.

Therefore, Britain and the Netherlands immediately approached the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a vigorous manner and asked China to give a reply, Gu Weijun was polite, invited the ambassadors of the two countries into the living room, and said to them with a smile: "The problem of the South Seas is the internal affairs of the Netherlands, and it is inconvenient for us to interfere, but in order to ensure the safety of the Chinese nationals, the Mukden aircraft carrier battle group that is training in the South China Sea will immediately go south to Borneo to carry out the evacuation mission, and I hope that the British and Dutch can cooperate," (to be continued......
