The early morning sun shone on the land of Avintai, and the people outside the city, in small boats loaded with various vegetables and fruits, came to the bazaar along the river to sell.

On the banks of the river, soldiers walked by from time to time, and with the founding of the South China state, the situation in Yawentai became more and more tense, and if it were not for the Dutch, they also needed to buy necessities, and they would even stop the market.

"Charles, what do you think of that?"

Charles followed the direction of his companion's finger and saw a young woman sitting on a small boat, dressed in floral clothes, although her face was a little dark, but very delicate, and she was constantly bargaining with others.

Several Dutch soldiers on patrol also saw it, and the corners of the mouth of the squad leader Charles rose slightly: "Bauer, I don't like these black-skinned natives, being with them is like being with a monkey." ”

"Haha, Charles, according to Mr. Darwin's theory, we are also from monkeys, this little sister is not bad, if you are not interested, she is ours."

"Who said there was no interest, I just said that we should show our beast side!"

A few Dutch soldiers took a few steps to the girl's boat, and Bauer took the lead and jumped into the boat, and the natives who were bargaining saw the Dutch and fled in fright.

The girl screamed loudly at the sight of someone suddenly boarding her boat.

"Scream, little darling, you won't have the strength to scream in a while!" Bauer smirked triumphantly and grabbed the little girl's wrist.

Charles and they are still on the shore, and they can't wait: "Bauer, you soulless, quickly bring people to the shore, and you are not allowed to enjoy them alone." ”

The Dutch soldiers snatched the women in broad daylight. The natives around them didn't have any expressions, they were used to it. And they know very well that the war is not far away, and they have to rely on the soldiers to resist the Chinese army, and no one will take care of it at all.

They soon returned to normal, and the girl's heart-rending cries, the scuffling of the struggle, and the smug laughter of the Dutchman, as if no one could hear them, went on with the deal. But today's bazaar is ending earlier than usual.

Just as these people were driving the boats and gradually leaving, several speedboats suddenly appeared in the distance on the river, and these speedboats rushed towards them like arrows from the string.

The Dutch set up sentry posts along the coast. When they saw several ships approaching at an unnormal speed, they immediately felt that something was wrong. Immediately prepare to fight back.

But they were too late. Machine guns were mounted at the front of the ships, and when the bullets swept over, the three sentries were killed in an instant, and their bodies lay straight on the river.

The silence of Yavintai was broken by the sound of gunfire, and the soldiers in charge of the perimeter guard hurriedly rushed over, and the three speedboats were already arranged in a zigzag shape. Three machine guns were aimed at the Dutch, and the bullets rained down like a torrent of bullets, and the Dutch were swept away in an instant.

"Enemy attack!"

The sirens sounded throughout the Arvinte, and the Dutch immediately mobilized. The soldiers rushed into the fortifications in a panic. Yavintai is different from domestic cities, just a group of dense settlements, and a collection of some handicraft workshops. In order to cope with the possibility of battle, the Dutch mobilized a large number of natives and built three ring fortifications to surround Avente.

At this time, a large number of soldiers appeared on the outskirts of Avente, and they surrounded the city in the rainforest.

This time, it was Zhang Honggang's troops who were tasked with attacking Yawentai, and he concentrated twelve artillery pieces and aimed them at the outlying fortifications of Yawentai and carried out a fierce bombardment. The shells fell on the heads of the Dutch, and the Grim Reaper was harvesting lives, and as soon as the cannon fell, several, or even a dozen Dutchmen were blown to pieces.

Of course, the Dutch artillery also returned fire, and their equipment was not bad, basically all German goods, and both sides also fought well. However, Zhang Honggang has not been fully exerted, these colonial troops may not be poorly equipped, but their will to fight is nothing at all.

Compared with China's elites who came out of the mountains of corpses and blood, they are not at the same level at all. If you use too much force and directly beat the Dutch to surrender, it will not be fun, so Zhang Honggang tried his best to control the rhythm of the war.

The South Chinese soldiers gradually formed a solid encirclement, and then used small forces to carry out short, powerful raids to clear the outlying positions of the Dutch. If necessary, some indigenous cannon fodder will also be organized to attack the Dutch and consume their firepower.

The Dutch were not aware of it, they only found that the enemy was falling in pieces, so they were determined to resist, as long as they held on, there might be hope of victory, provided that there were enough reinforcements, of course.

At the very beginning of the battle, the defenders of Aventai immediately asked for help from Ma Chen, and Ma Chen's Dutch garrison immediately mobilized after receiving the news.

The commander-in-chief of the Dutch army, Lieutenant General Van Roner had just arrived in the Far East from Europe, and as a proud white man, Van Roner looked down on the natives of the Far East from the bottom of his heart, and also looked down on the Chinese.

In fact, many small countries on this shijie, they seem to live in a paradise, take China as an example, defeated several strong enemies in a row, and gradually recovered various sovereignty, the United States, Britain, France, Japan and other countries all paid attention to the changes in the Far East, but the Dutch still turned a blind eye and did not listen, as if the Far East and Africa, as long as their army passed by, they could completely solve the problem.

When Van Ronel left the Netherlands, he boasted to all the Dutch that he would use resolute and decisive means to completely solve the Far East problem, and that no guerrilla force would be an opponent of the Dutch army.

It was precisely because of this blind self-confidence that Van Longer immediately burst into a rage after receiving the telegram for help.

"Damn the Shina people! The land of Queen Bixia of Aventai, you yellow-skinned monkeys, don't deserve to be touched at all, I want to teach you a lesson! ”

Van Longer hurriedly gathered all the generals to discuss countermeasures, although the others were not as fanatical as this commander, but everyone also knew that Yavintai must not be lost, otherwise the Dutch would completely lose control of the interior of Borneo. This is where the rescue must be.

After some discussion, Van Longer decisively ordered assistance. According to his vision, the Dutch reinforcements were divided into two parts, of which he personally led 10,000 main forces north to aid Avente.

The other way is along the Barito River, directly detouring to the rear of Aventai, attacking from the north and south, and jointly destroying the army of South China. For this Jihua, Van Longer is quite proud, and in his opinion, it is absolutely foolproof.

And in order to ensure the supply of supplies, he recruited a large number of ships. also used 100,000 indigenous people, Xu Shuzheng and they are already quite ruthless in treating the natives, but compared to the Dutch, they are still a lot worse. These old colonists basically treated the natives as cattle. And it's the kind of animal that doesn't need to pay forage.

The Dutch army moved quickly north, relying on the rapid attrition of the natives. They marched at an alarming pace. After three days of rapid marching, they were only twenty kilometers away from Avintai.

In the past few days, Aventai's telegrams for help have been sent one after another, and the attacks of the South Chinese army have become more and more fierce, and they are already in danger.

"Gentlemen, there's Balabai ahead, just take here. The road to Avintai has been opened, so let's go and teach the lowly people of China a lesson and let them know who is the master here. All of us would have become the most successful conquistadors in the history of the Netherlands! ”

The Dutch army received the order and quickly advanced towards Barabai, but they did not know that a large net had been unfurled.

"Hurry up, the ones behind you will follow!"

The Dutch officer kept shouting, and suddenly there was a sudden bang at the feet of the soldier who was walking in front, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke flashed, half of the soldier's leg had been blown off, and his bones were exposed, and the terrible screams frightened the Dutch people around.

"Get him up quickly."

Two soldiers rushed over and tried to pull the wounded over, but suddenly one soldier's foot exploded, and the ball of his foot was blown away, and the other soldier fled in disarray.

Now the Dutch finally came to their senses, minefield!

Damn it! The Dutch commander couldn't help but curse bitterly, and the other soldiers panicked when they saw their miserable companions, and at this moment, several bullets suddenly shot in the rainforest not far away, and the Dutch soldiers fell to the ground.

The accurate bullet holes on the top of the head door were telling these Dutchmen that they were real elites, and they were all full sharpshooters. At last some people were frightened, and they either fired indiscriminately in the direction of the rainforest, or fled in panic, and it was this panic that brought more trouble, and some people stepped on the mines, and the wounded increased, and the Dutch's progress was stopped at once.

Van Longer was also shocked when he received the report from his subordinates, and he did not expect that there would be mines blocking the way. In the First World War, the Netherlands maintained neutrality, and did not go through the tempering of the war, and they did not have any pain in the refurbished weapons, and the Dutch army even lacked a special mine-sweeping unit, how could they eliminate the threat of these mines!

After thinking about it, Fan Longer's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Go and find those natives and let them go to the front!" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, you can't do that!" The staff officer said in a frightened voice: "This is very humane, and we will be condemned!" ”

"No, the victors will never be condemned, and I can tell you that humanitarianism is only for people, not for two-legged brutes, whose only role now is to find the quickest path for us."

The natives were expelled, rushed to the forefront, became the mine-sweeping dogs of the Dutch army, and after rushing into the minefield, there were constantly explosions, and these natives were blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, fell to the ground, screamed loudly, and some people fainted in pain.

The Dutch followed them with machine guns, and if they dared to take a step back, they immediately machine-gun fire at them. After sacrificing hundreds of natives, the Dutch finally found a safe passage and rushed towards Barabai on a blood-stained path.

It was Li Xun's troops who were responsible for guarding in Balabai, and according to Jihua, he took 2,000 men to hold Balabai, buying time for Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's troops to encircle the main force of the Dutch.

After seeing that the Dutch relied on the natives and broke through the barrier of the mine array, Li Xun also secretly gritted his teeth, and the real show had just begun.

Just as the Dutch were charging at them, suddenly the two trenches in front of the position suddenly burst into flames and black smoke billowed from them. There is no shortage of oil in Borneo, and Li Xun poured these black liquids into the trenches in advance, and now after igniting them, they form a natural barrier.

The Dutch soldiers were blocked by the wall of fire, and as a result, the machine guns and mortars on this side opened fire, knocking the Dutch on their backs, and the soldiers of the company that rushed to the front were killed and wounded in an instant. After Fan Longer got the report, he was also completely mad, the other party had so many tricks.

He also gritted his teeth and took out the trick again, he concentrated three thousand indigenous cannon fodder, rushed to the front, and the battle completely turned into a contest of flesh and steel. These natives are also a little pitiful, Nanhua uses them as cannon fodder, and the Dutch are even more so, it is not a pity to use them at all.

The battle was getting fiercer and fiercer, the dead and wounded natives, the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the blood stained the ground red, and the battle between the two sides had been going on for about a day.

Under the remnant sun, the two sides have already killed red eyes, the Dutch after consuming a large number of indigenous cannon fodder, concentrated their firepower to bombard Nanhua's position, the casualties of the soldiers are increasing, the pressure on Li Xun's shoulders is also increasing, and what is even worse is that their ammunition has been almost consumed, and every bullet must be cherished and used.

The soldiers, taking advantage of the break in the battle, wiped their bayonets, and they were already preparing for a white-knuckle battle. On the other hand, Van Longer also tried his best to storm the defense line of Nanhua. He had already received information that the defenders inside Avente had been killed or wounded by more than a third. It's on the verge of collapse at any time, and if you don't get help, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on.

There was a bloody battle going on here, and a troop was moving quickly through the rainforest, these soldiers were not tall, but they were extremely agile in the forest, and in order to ensure the speed of the march, they had abandoned all unnecessary equipment, and only carried water bottles, dry food and weapons. Leading this force was none other than Li Zongren, who, according to Jihua, would lead the troops, detour back behind the Dutch, and deliver a fatal blow.

After more than two days of trekking through the rainforest, everyone was soaked in mud and water, exhausted to the extreme, and more than two dozen unlucky people were bitten by poisonous snakes. The march into the rainforest was definitely torture, but fortunately they finally came out of the rainforest as scheduled.

"Division commander, there is Lan Tao in front, as long as you take here, the Dutch don't want to return to Ma Chen!" Scout excited report.

As soon as Li Zongren heard the news, he suddenly couldn't care about being tired, and said loudly: "Brothers, all cheer up, enter Lantao, and encircle and annihilate the Dutch!" (To be continued......)
