Chapter XLVIII
Bandar Seri Begawan.
Port.
After an emergency expansion, a seaside wharf was built here at this time, which can berth a giant ship of 10,000 tons, not a ship with a total weight of 10,000 tons, but a cargo ship with a cargo capacity of at least 10,000 tons, and has sufficient unloading capacity, but because of the short time, only one can be berthed.
But that's enough.
A base where a battalion is stationed, a dozen 'camel' helicopters, and that's all the supplies consumed.
Although the 'camel' is a fuel guzzler, and several tons of fuel are required for a one-time take-off, and a dozen or so are about 50 tons, a one-time cargo ship transporting 15,000 tons is enough to meet the needs of several months of stationing at a time.
It is less than 3,000 kilometers away from the southern port of the mainland, and it can be a round trip in a little more than a week.
When the workers transported fuel, reinforced concrete, ammunition, food, medicine and other materials to the station through ten-wheeled trucks and temporarily laid light rail, 150,000 tons of supplies, even with the ocean-going frigate stationed in the port, was enough to consume for a long, long time.
However, it takes at least three days to unload a bulk ship loaded with 15,000 tons of cargo, which contains a lot of military supplies and oil.
"When is the next time?"
A battalion commander asked.
As the old battalion commander of the independent regiment, he is the deputy head of the station, and the main person in charge is Duan Peng.
"Seven days later, it's all weapons and ammunition."
The company commander, who was responsible for encircling the transport ship, replied.
Although the devil navy is basically gone, in this era, there are still many troublesome pirates, especially the island groups in Southeast Asia, which are simply as many as cows, and the troops cannot spare the strength to deal with them for the time being.
So the transport ship must be equipped with an armed escort.
"Seven days! And it's all weapons and ammunition. ”
The battalion commander frowned.
They had a battalion of 1,800 men here, but a composite battalion.
An experimental force.
Including an armored company, a self-propelled artillery company, a mobile logistics support company, an air defense company, a sea escort company, an armored infantry company, and even an army aviation company, because of the lack of numbers, the army aviation company has seals temporarily serving.
Heavy equipment is abundant and consumes a lot.
But after all, there is no war, the main thing is to maintain local law and order, and to clear out pirates, when they first came, they brought a large amount of supplies, and now they have another 15,000 tons of supplies, which will not be consumed at all in the near future.
Another 15,000 tons, and they won't be able to fit it.
"It's not for you this time, it's all light weapons, obsolete weapons."
The company commander shook his head and continued:
"It's still a big market here."
"Big market."
The battalion commander was stunned.
The little devils occupied it for several years, burning and looting everywhere, especially in the later period, it was a three-light plunder, which completely destroyed the original order and inspired a lot of resistance, but because of time and various reasons, these resistance forces were very scattered and lacked unified leadership.
And the devils failed too quickly, and these resistance forces have not had time to reach a consensus, and they are in a state of their own kings.
There are as many as two hundred.
After the troops openly stated that they would not occupy territory, not seize minerals, only temporarily maintain local commercial order, ensure the safety of the countrymen, and then return a large number of Japanese camps, weapons, materials, and even some factories and other practical actions, as well as the battleship showed off its 16-inch guns by the way, the people here were no longer hostile to the troops, but began to resolve internal contradictions.
There are people who want to unify and unify all the islands.
But there are more people who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
He knows very well that for his own family, the more 'chicken heads' here, the better, and he is sure that there will be at least more than a hundred 'chicken heads' left here.
As long as the troops maintain 'law and order' for a period of time, the local order will be maintained, so that there can be no large-scale fighting here.
So.
This situation will be a foregone conclusion.
······
"Airplanes."
One hundred and seventy kilometers inland of Kalimantan, on a wooden watchtower, a lookout with a 38 lid on his back and an American-made telescope shouted:
"Enemy planes."
Although the native lookout had never seen ten planes flying at an altitude of just over 100 meters in the distance, it did not prevent him from recognizing them as ten planes.
"Hidden."
Below, the commander's tone was calm, with a strong sense of confidence:
"The rainforest will hold them back."
Isn't it an airplane?
The Japanese also sent planes back then, and this thing, the plains are really powerful, condescendingly strafing, and a large area fell with a shuttle, but this is a rainforest, they are hiding underneath, and they can't see anything from the plane.
"Yes."
The lookout was not in a hurry, and changed his position, he hid in the trunk of a large tree, and with the help of the cover of leaves, he could not find it at all.
Relying on this hand, he dodged the Japanese plane I don't know how many times, and never missed, the vision obscured his whole body, and the plane did not dare to approach the trunk of the tree at all.
One of the Japanese planes even crashed into a tree trunk and blew it up on the spot.
"Is this trying to find death??"
In his field of vision, the planes in the distance began to lose altitude, and even began to get closer to the treetops, and he couldn't help but get excited in his heart - the Japanese plane also wanted to get close to the treetops, and then it crashed and exploded.
The indigenous gentleman apparently did not notice the difference between these planes and the devil's planes.
Or rather, no attention at all.
And in the base below the dense forest, hundreds of indigenous armed men are coming in and out, and there is even smoke rising from the cooking, not worrying about the planes that are gradually approaching in the sky.
·····
"Huh..."
On the leading No. 1 machine, Duan Peng looked at the cooking smoke on the ground and couldn't help but sneer.
"These idiots."
The ammunition hand on the side also sneered:
"I thought we were still little devils!"
The distance of 170 kilometers and the whole flight in a straight line allowed the 'camels' to fly with a full load, that is, each of them could carry four tons of ammunition in addition to fuel and personnel.
12.7 mm bullets, that's 28,000 rounds.
Ten crosses totaled 280,000 rounds.
It doesn't sound like much, but the armed men below, there are only about five hundred.
"How long will it take for the big fireworks?"
Duan Peng asked.
"Five minutes."
The navigator replied.
"Let's give them a shuttle first."
Duan Peng held the six-barreled 12.7mm machine gun at the side door.
Although this is a rainforest, the dense woods will block the deflection bullets, but he has a 12.7mm machine gun in his hand, which is much more penetrating than the devil, and there is no problem in breaking a large tree as thick as a person, and as for the target that is almost invisible, this is not a problem, it is a six-barreled machine gun with a rate of fire of 6,000 rounds per minute, just strafing at the position of the cooking smoke.
Of course, strafing now would cause a concentrated dispersal of natives, but twenty-five large fireworks, plus their high-altitude strafing, would make no sense to disperse and dodge.
"Shoot."
With Duan Peng's order, a dense rain of bullets fell into the rainforest.
As soon as the lookout natives sensed that something was wrong, they were directly smashed to pieces, and a large number of natives on the ground who were preparing dry rice were also killed on the spot.
Immediately after, twenty-five huge fireworks rose up.
······
Three days later.
Bandar Seri Begawan.
The unloaded 10,000-ton transport ship carried tropical specialties, nickel ore, tin ore, etc., at a speed of 21 knots, and headed for the domestic high-speed.
Meantime.
A piece of news also circulated nearby.
"It has been determined that Yudhoyono was killed by them, and the bases on the island have been blown up."
A spy from one of the local resistance forces reported the news to their leader.
"It's true."
The leader was shocked.
Because they took over a small group of Japanese barracks from that group of people, and also obtained a batch of weapons, equipment and materials, the strength of their resistance force formed by the original family is not bad.
There were more than two hundred guns and occupied a very wealthy territory.
But in the entire Kalimantan, their strength is not even ranked in the top 20, and in the entire archipelago region, they are not even in the top 100, not to mention that they cannot realize the great dream of the family.
There is a party of its own land.
Even the current territory cannot be saved.
And Yudhoyono's group, with more than 4,000 guns in their hands, and even a large number of machine guns and even artillery, as well as the military guidance and financial support of the Americans, are powerful, and it is said that there is a base on the island, they are one of the best forces, and this person is one of the people who plan to join the islands.
Now the base has been taken by people.
"It's more than that."
The debriefing spy continued:
"Yudhoyono himself was directly killed, and their base on the island was also razed to the ground, and more than 20 craters with a width of five or six hundred meters and a depth of several tens of meters appeared there."
Although the cloudburst bomb has a large killing area, it blows up flat ground, but under the false information, the flat ground is upgraded to a crater, and even the width has been almost doubled.
"Shhh
Not long ago, an American came to the door and wanted to cooperate, and he was hesitating in his heart, and at this time he quickly extinguished the thought in his heart.
This group of people is much more terrible than the Japanese, no wonder they can defeat the Japanese.
"It's a pity."
The leader then let out a big sigh.
It was a rare opportunity for a major force to fall apart, but his own strength was insufficient to attack Yudhoyono's territory and power, otherwise he could take the opportunity to expand and strengthen himself.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
"Also."
The spy went on to report:
"Donomos, Puka was fighting for Yudhoyono's territory, because of the large number of civilian casualties, strafed by 'their' planes, and suffered heavy losses, it is said that Donomos, Puka also died in the bombing."
The leader wiped his forehead suddenly, glad that he hadn't done anything.
"Chief."
At this time, a man who resembled a military advisor spoke:
"We can't reach out to the Americans, but we can turn to them."
The leader looked at the smartest man in his family who had returned from studying abroad, had a master's degree, and had returned from studying abroad.
"They have the same goal as we do."
The master's military advisor said with a smile.
······
A few days later.
United States.
"Our operations in Southeast Asia have all failed."
Mr. President received the debriefing:
"The vast majority of the local forces that cooperate with us are either directly eliminated or annexed by them, and now, we have almost no pawns in Southeast Asia."
"Including the Scrap Greens."
The secretary of the report highlighted one sentence.
Mr. President rubbed his forehead.
Obviously, this incident gave Franklin some headaches.
The development of events was indeed beyond the expectations of Mr. President, and in the deduction of him and the General Staff, due to the lack of control, the gang on the other side would get bogged down in the quagmire between the islands, and their energy would be wasted.
"From their recent actions, they are breaking down the archipelago."
The Secretary continued to report.
"A bunch of trash."
Mr. President rubbed his forehead again.
Decomposing the archipelago, this is normal, just like the United States decomposes Central and South America, only broken neighbors that cannot be integrated together are good neighbors and do not cause trouble.
He actually thought that this thing would fail.
But it hardly caused the slightest trouble, which he never expected.
"Also."
Looking at Mr. President's expression, the secretary said cautiously:
"We were in Zhili and found out something."
"What's the situation?"
Mr. President's eyes narrowed.
"Zhili sent hundreds of officers, as well as red people, to study on the other side."
"What!"
Mr. President almost got up again.
In American politics, the most hostile is not only the mustache, but also the bearded, especially the bearded magma.
And now, the lava is flowing into his South American backyard.
To make matters worse, at this time the United States was deep in Europe, and the source of magma was stronger and hotter than the bearded.
·····
Meanwhile.
Oshu.
After the sun never set on the extinguishing of the empire, this former little brother of the British Empire hugged the thigh of the United States tightly at this time and became the little brother of the United States, and the Yankees also acted generously, suspending the Pacific offensive at the same time, but also strengthening the naval strength of Oshu.
A lot of warships were given, and many of them even the latest ones were put into service, and the capital ships were left to station.
After the little devil was overturned, Oshu saw that he was safe, so he recruited troops again, and once again sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Europe to fight with the mustache, of course, the navy still remained.
It was even strengthened.
In case of a strong neighbor in the north that suddenly becomes stronger.
this day.
In a flat-roofed wooden house in a southern coastal city, dozens of Chinese gathered.
"We want to fight for equal rights."
One of them spoke firmly.
"Can we do it?"
Someone was scared.
It's not that they haven't fought for it before, but they have all failed, and even paid a very heavy price.
"This time."
In the crowd, a leading man spoke confidently:
"We have support from the motherland."
