Chapter seven hundred and seventeenth new starting point
Kuching is the capital of Sarawak. The city is crisscrossed by canals and green water. Boats carrying coconuts, rubber, and pepper shuttle through it. This beautiful city is known as the Water City and is also one of the main gathering places for Chinese people.
.
Fujian people and Zhao'an people are mainly engaged in commerce and construction. Hakka people are mostly engaged in farming. Xinghua people are mostly engaged in fishing, tires and other parts industries. Hainan people are mostly engaged in coffee shops. Chaozhou people are mostly engaged in groceries. Fuzhou people are also
Most are engaged in business, as well as finance and the timber industry.
It was the diligence of the Chinese that made Kuching an important port in the Southeast Asia. Amidst the feasting and drunkenness, the British colonists lived a comfortable life by knocking bones and sucking marrow.
The long period of comfort has made these people forget what it means to be vigilant, and there is singing and dancing everywhere. As night falls, a British policeman is wandering around, smelling of alcohol, just passing by a dark alley, and suddenly a figure rushes out.
This hand covered the guy's mouth, and the other hand firmly grasped his throat, dragging the policeman into the alley.
It was Zhang Honggang who took action. In the alley, Li Xun and others were inside. When they saw Zhang Honggang succeeded, they all showed admiration. When Zhang Honggang put his hands hard, he heard a gurgling sound coming from his throat. The two policemen
His eyes popped out, he kicked his legs a few times, and died on the spot.
Zhang Honggang took the pistol from the policeman's waist. It was a revolver with ten bullets. Compared with the Browning pistols equipped by Fengjun, the revolver has many advantages in terms of accuracy and power.
There is a difference, but something is better than nothing.
After all, according to the plan, their weapons had to be delivered secretly via submarine, and they still had to wait a few days. But Zhang Honggang, who had always believed in revenge, decided to take action after the tragic death of Li Xun's father.
Of course, it is too easy to kill a few gangsters, but large-scale killings will definitely attract the attention of the military and police. Without weapons, it will definitely not work, so Zhang Honggang took the idea to the police station.
"Quickly, take off your clothes, Li Xun, you are about the same size as him, put on the police uniform and sneak into the police station!"
Li Xun also nodded immediately, put on his police uniform, lowered his hat, and walked quickly towards the police station, followed by Zhang Honggang and five or six others.
At this time, most of the police officers had taken a rest, and there was only one Indian standing guard at the door. He was taking a nap with his head leaning on the door frame. Li Xun walked over in a few steps, and the Indian Asan finally felt that someone was coming, and he was in a trance.
The other person was wearing a police uniform. He quickly stood at attention and raised his hand to salute.
Li Xun suddenly rushed in front of him, pointed the gun at his head, and said in English: "Be honest. Tell me where the weapons are hidden?"
Ah San pointed inside with trembling hands, and Li Xun pushed him: "Lead the way!"
The Indian hurriedly turned around and walked inside. At this moment, another Asan suddenly walked out of the shadows. It turned out that they were guarding the door together. This guy ran to the side to urinate. Now
Just came back.
When he saw that his companion was being held hostage, he immediately shouted: "Who is it!"
As he spoke, he raised the muzzle of the gun. Li Xun was suddenly startled and broke into a cold sweat. Someone behind him pointed a gun at him. The guy in front seemed to have sensed an opportunity, and his body turned violently. He wanted to
Turn around and seize Li Xun's gun.
The one in front and the one behind, no matter which one is killed, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape. In an instant, Li Xun's back was soaked with cold sweat, and he only really felt the smell of death.
At this moment, Ah San, who came out from behind, suddenly screamed in pain and fell to the ground. There was a flying knife stuck in the back of his neck, and the handle of the knife was still trembling.
Li Xun didn't think too much. When he heard the screams of pain from behind, he knew that his comrades had taken action. He fired subconsciously, and Ah San in front of him was killed instantly.
At this time, Zhang Honggang rushed up with four or five soldiers. One of the soldiers had three throwing knives in his hand. Li Xun hurriedly extended his thumb to express his gratitude.
"Don't waste time, get your gun and rush in!"
Zhang Honggang gave the order decisively. He and a soldier picked up two Asan's rifles and rushed into the police station. At this time, two police officers on duty were also alerted. When they heard the gunshots outside, they
He ran out in a hurry.
These two British police officers were both quite fat and moved like two fat pigs when they ran. As soon as they rushed out, Zhang Honggang was about to shoot.
I put my finger on the trigger, but there was no sound.
Stinky guy!
Damn it, at this moment, Zhang Honggang felt something bad, the opponent's gun was already pointed at him. Having experienced life and death on the battlefield for a long time, Zhang Honggang felt that his hairs were standing on end.
Snap!
There was a gunshot, but Zhang Honggang was not injured, but the police officer's brain was blown away, and his brains were flowing out. There was still a trace of smoke rising from the muzzle of Li Xun's gun. A smile appeared on Zhang Honggang's face for an instant, and Li Xun had already fired a gunshot.
Killing two people, this feeling is very important. If you want to survive on the battlefield, you must constantly eliminate the opponent.
With a snap, the other police officer also fell to the ground. Zhang Honggang said hurriedly: "Quick, just a weapon!"
Their actions were quite astonishing. They found the gun room and found more than twenty pistols, six rifles, three boxes of bullets, and dozens of grenades.
Seeing these things, Zhang Honggang smiled happily. Everyone was covered with weapons, and then they formed a group of two, with one carrying a bullet box and the other covering next to them, and quickly retreated.
When retreating, they did not miss anything useful, and the guns of the two police officers were also taken away. When they arrived outside the police station, they lit the fire starters they had prepared and threw them in the yard.
Inside, the police station soon burst into red flames and was enveloped by fire.
The British people in Southeast Asia have been in peace for a long time, and their courage has been almost exhausted in this gentle countryside. After such a big thing happened, it was not until twenty minutes later that the military and police arrived one after another, but Zhang Honggang and the others
There is no trace of it long ago.
Only four bodies were left, as well as the police station that was devoured by fire. The British had not encountered this situation for many years. They were immediately dumbfounded as to who did it. Could there be another rebellion in Nanyang?
When the British uprising began, these policemen immediately became extremely nervous and immediately reported to their superiors. The British colonial authorities also hurriedly deployed troops and generals, causing a lot of trouble.
But these had nothing to do with Zhang Honggang and the others. After being fully armed, these soldiers turned into tigers again. Li Xun led everyone. They first found the residence of several indigenous gangsters in the village, killed them all one by one, and then used
The ax cut off all the heads.
When more than a dozen bloody heads were placed in front of his father's soul, Li Xun burst into tears, and the other soldiers also shed tears. After crying enough, Zhang Hong patted Li Xun on the shoulder and said, "Time waits."
People, hurry up and cremate the old man, we will face an endless battle next!"
Just as they were preparing to leave, dozens of young people suddenly gathered outside the door, with fear and excitement in their eyes.
A young man named Han Wei suddenly ran up to Li Xun: "Brother Xun, are you ready for breakfast? Count me in. I am willing to follow you to kill these bastards."
"Yes, take us with you, we have had enough!"
These young people were all extremely determined. Li Xun could not make the decision yet, so he could only let Zhang Honggang make the decision.
"We happen to have extra weapons, so we are temporarily recruiting twenty people. But to be clear, joining us is not to enjoy happiness, but to risk one's life and fight the natives and the British. If you are not prepared to die, don't join.
!”
Li Xun soon selected twenty people from among these people, and they were all assigned to the recruit brigade. While receiving training, they became familiar with combat methods. This was also one of Zhang Honggang's tasks. After all, they were sent from the mainland.
It is still very limited and must use the local strength of Nanyang.
In the next three days, after Zhang Honggang and the others obtained weapons, they organized a sneak attack on the port and seized a large amount of food and funds. Suddenly, this small team had food and wages.
What's even more exciting is that the weapons have finally been delivered. Fengjun used a submarine to deliver 200 rifles, 200,000 rounds of ammunition, two machine guns, two mortars, and 2,000 landmines.
In jungle warfare, landmines are an indispensable treasure. If used properly, they will definitely have amazing effects.
And in addition to these weapons, there is another more precious thing, and that is penicillin!
Fengjun also just broke through the problem of large-scale production of penicillin. If you want to fight in tropical areas, infection is unavoidable. With the magic weapon of penicillin, the survival probability of these soldiers has been greatly improved.
After seeing these things, Zhang Honggang was also overjoyed, especially penicillin, which he regarded as a treasure.
"Listen guys, this thing can save our lives at a critical moment, so you must keep an eye on it!"
"Instructor, what's so valuable about this thing?"
"Once injured, the most terrifying thing is infection. Most soldiers will die due to infection. These infections are caused by bacteria, and this thing is the nemesis of bacteria. I can tell you that except for China, no country has
Penicillin was discovered and we can use it, which shows the concern from above."
When these soldiers heard that this was the best thing in the world, they were all frightened and hurriedly took care of it carefully.
After Zhang Honggang and the others obtained the weapons, their strength immediately increased significantly, especially with the mortars, their attack capabilities also improved a lot. Zhang Honggang was not polite. In the following time, they continuously launched attacks on the British army.
attacked.
In less than ten days, five attacks were launched, killing more than 20 British soldiers, destroying a warehouse, sinking two cargo ships, and grabbing more than 2 million yuan. In addition, during the fifth attack,
Zhang Honggang and others also set fire to four British oil wells and killed more than 30 oil workers.
Before World War II, Nanyang was an important oil-producing area. The Japanese also went south crazily for oil. The oil wells were attacked, which made the British feel as if their hearts, livers and lungs had been removed.
As soon as the losses were counted, the British were in tears. The oil well was ignited, causing a huge flame that burned all the surrounding facilities. The direct economic loss exceeded one million. It also caused a 100% drop in crude oil production.
5 serious consequences, all oil fields are on tenterhooks, not knowing when they will suffer bad luck.
Of course, the colonial government was under tremendous pressure. The British in various villages and towns no longer dared to stay leisurely. They all ran to the big cities, hoping that the military and police would protect them.
Zhang Honggang and others not only stunned the British, but also woke up the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Kuching. Especially the Chinese in various rural areas. They are basically Hakkas. The so-called Hakkas started from Qin Shihuang's southern conquest of Baiyue.
, a large number of Han people from the Central Plains migrated to Lingnan. Later, Li Jingwu's rebellion in China, the Anshi Rebellion, the late Song Dynasty, and the late Ming Dynasty, a large number of Han people moved south one after another and merged with the locals, finally forming a stable Han nationality - the Hakka.
.
The most precious blood of the Han nation can be seen in the Hakka people. Starting from the late Song Dynasty, the Hakka people followed Wen Tianxiang and fought against the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, spilling their blood on the mountains and rivers. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, countless martyrs fought against the Manchus and regained Taiwan.
When they arrived in Nanyang, these Hakkas still retained the blood of the Han people. During the previous anti-Chinese actions by the indigenous people, they fought tooth and nail. However, due to the British colonial authorities fanning the flames behind the scenes, the overseas Chinese suffered heavy losses, and all kinds of resistance became increasingly weakened.
But this was just a kind of terrifying tranquility. Finally, someone came out to challenge the Westerners. A large number of Hakkas joined Zhang Honggang's team. In less than a month, they took control of seven villages, and their influence had penetrated into the Dutch rule.
Lower Borneo.
This team has taken root in Nanyang, and the storm it has caused is getting bigger and bigger, and the British have to face up to the problems in Nanyang.
There were beacon smoke everywhere, which was already giving the Empire a headache. Zhang Tinglan, who was in Beijing, received the report from Nanyang and was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect that this chess piece would come into play so quickly.
"Lin Ge, the British in Nanyang seem to be much weaker than expected. Send a telegram to Xu Shuzheng immediately. If he is interested, he can go to Nanyang to take charge of the situation."
Yang Yuting also nodded: "Xu Shuzheng has a way of fighting, and he is also good at coordinating various relationships. It is perfect for him to go."
Facing the war in Southeast Asia, the British could no longer sit still and finally began to make substantial concessions at the negotiating table. The Boxer Indemnity was suspended for five years, the remaining loans were suspended for three years, and they agreed to withdraw troops from Weihaiwei...
After receiving Gu Weijun's report, Zhang Tinglan also laughed: "1923 is coming, and this is a good start! Everyone must work harder to make this year the starting point for the Chinese to completely get rid of unequal treaties.
