After nightfall, more than a thousand soldiers formed one attack group after another and quickly rushed towards the Dutch's outer positions.
These soldiers were far from comparable to the local mob. They had all undergone rigorous training and had been tempered into steel during several years of guerrilla warfare. The group at the front quickly approached the Dutch's outer positions.
Outside the Dutch position, there were three barbed wire fences. These small things caused huge damage to the indigenous people. They were blocked from the outside. Some people tore it apart with their hands crazily, and some smashed it open with rifle butts. In the end, it was all to no avail. The Dutch
People used machine guns to sweep them all away, and there was a lot of minced meat hanging on the spikes of the barbed wire, exuding the stench of blood.
In the eyes of these soldiers, the nightmare-like barbed wire fence of the indigenous people was nothing special. They stuffed the blasting tube under the barbed wire fence. Continuous explosions sounded, and several large holes were blown out of the barbed wire fence in an instant. The soldiers
Quick follow up.
The explosion also completely woke up the Dutch. Colin stared at a pair of blood-red eyes and rushed to the front line to take command. After several days of fighting, although the Dutch did not die many, they were all exhausted. Facing the
With the ferocious attack, many of them were even dozing off.
Colin could only supervise the battle desperately, shouting loudly: "Don't be afraid, our reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as we persist through the night, everything will be fine. Cheer up, we are great sea coachmen, no
I will give in to the cowardly clown."
All the Dutch reluctantly cheered up, and the old bronze cannons became powerful again. Projectiles continued to explode among the soldiers. More and more soldiers died under the shelling.
Through the firelight, Colin clearly saw the afterimage of the other party. He couldn't help but laugh wildly: "They don't have cannons, and they still want to attack us. It's really a dream. I'm going to send you to see God."
Just as Colin was screaming wildly, suddenly there was a muffled sound on the Dutch fort. Then there was another earth-shattering explosion, and a ball of fire dozens of meters long surged up from the position, like a little sun.
generally.
This sudden explosion shocked all the Dutch people, and the ears of those nearby were buzzing, and even blood was drawn out from the shock.
Colin was also shocked. It turned out that an old bronze cannon had a chamber explosion. The thick barrel was all blown into pieces. None of the soldiers around him ran away. They were all bloody and bloody. Those closest to him were all bloody.
The artillery even disappeared out of thin air.
What's even more terrible is that these old-fashioned artillery need propellant to push the shells out. As a result, after one artillery exploded, the surrounding propellant was also detonated. Then the shells also exploded. The fatal explosion easily destroyed a fort.
All thirty or so artillerymen were killed.
In fact, if the Dutch can take good care of themselves, this problem will not occur. However, they usually neglect to prepare for war. These old artillery have reached their limit. They have been used frequently in the past few days. It would be strange if there is no problem.
The fort was almost destroyed, and the Dutch firepower was suddenly reduced.
Li Xun, who was taking command, also noticed this situation and was overjoyed. He immediately concentrated four mortars and struck hard at the Dutch.
Without the cover of the artillery, the 120 mortars were fatal to the Dutch. The shells fell on their heads like hailstones, and the smoke was so thick that the Dutch could not lift their heads.
"Come on!"
Li Xun took the lead and led the soldiers to rush towards the Dutch. Colin also noticed the precarious situation here. He hurriedly rushed over with his men to block the gap.
As a result, just as he was rushing over, a shell exploded next to Colin, and a shrapnel struck his shoulder. Immediately, a piece of meat weighing half a kilogram was cut off. Blood flowed profusely in an instant.
Colin almost fainted from the pain.
Seeing that their commander was injured, the Dutch soldiers also lost the courage to fight and hurriedly took Colin with them and quickly fled back to the headquarters in the city.
The military doctor hurriedly came over to bandage it. The severe pain made Colin almost faint. There were big beads of sweat on his forehead, and the muscles in his arms were shaking uncontrollably.
Just after he had finished bandaging, his men suddenly stumbled in and said almost crying: "Report to the commander, the outer position has been lost!"
"What!" Colin slammed the table, and the severe pain on his shoulder made him dizzy: "Quickly, let everyone evacuate to the city and set up defenses around the headquarters. As long as we can hold on until tomorrow, we will be saved.
!”
The soldiers hurriedly conveyed the order, and Colin's face became more and more ugly. Why haven't these damn reinforcements arrived yet? As long as arms and reinforcements are delivered, they will no longer be afraid of these guerrillas, and they can also use naval guns to support them.
In his fight, the chances of winning will be greater.
As Colin was anxiously looking forward to it, a total of five Dutch ships were rushing towards Samarinda. Among them were two old-fashioned ironclad ships, in the middle were two arms ships and a troop carrier, carrying a battalion of Dutch troops.
Soldiers, come to the rescue of Samarinda.
The constant harassment by the guerrillas in recent years has seriously consumed the energy of the Dutch. A small country with only 40,000 square kilometers actually controls a colony of nearly 2 million square kilometers thousands of miles away. How can you say that this is a colony?
It is an extremely difficult thing, not to mention the Netherlands which has completely declined.
Even though he knew that Samarinda was in danger, the Dutch reinforcements arrived belatedly, but fortunately the city had not yet been lost. The Dutch commander breathed a sigh of relief. He commanded the fleet and sailed into the shallow waters offshore.
This is an estuary delta with a lot of sediment, so be very careful when entering the port.
Gradually, we were getting closer and closer to the port, but suddenly, a loud noise erupted from the bottom of the water, and the ship traveling at the front was sent out of the water for a full two or three meters by a huge force, and then fell heavily to the ground.
on the sea.
How could the old ironclad ship withstand such a torment? It fell apart when it landed on the water. Sea water poured in quickly from the damaged bottom of the ship. The warship sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The following four ships did not understand the situation at all, and saw the warship sinking. Countless soldiers were asking for help in the water. One ship was about to go to the rescue when there was another loud noise under the water. The cargo ship was no match for the ironclad ship and was blown apart.
A large hole of four to five meters was opened, and it instantly tilted sideways. The munitions on the ship were also ignited, and a tragic explosion sounded. The ship was blown to pieces, like a coffin on the water.
The two warships were killed, and the Dutch finally woke up. The water was weird, so they could only scramble to retreat. But something went wrong in the process, and the troop ship deviated from its original position and detonated another mine.
The troop transport was also bombed and sunk, and the Dutch soldiers from the battalion above also fell into the sea, most of them becoming delicious meals for sharks.
The ones that can do this kind of thing are naturally Chinese submarines. Several mine-laying operations have been successful. The navy has also tasted the benefits, so it has increased its efforts in the development of mines. In addition to magnetic mines, it has also developed water-pressure mines.
Mines. Like magnetic mines, as long as they are still at the bottom of the port and a warship passes by, causing a change in water pressure, they will be triggered and explode.
This time the Dutch finally enjoyed this latest success. Three of the five ships were lost, which was a heavy loss. The officer in charge was so scared that he never dared to enter the port again.
Looking to the stars and the moon, I finally managed to get reinforcements, but this happened, which scared Colin. At this moment, something more terrible happened. The guerrillas seized the commanding heights outside the city.
, and at the same time captured several more cannons, they immediately turned their guns and bombarded the Dutch position.
The Dutch soldiers were immediately bombed to death and wounded everywhere, and were in a state of panic. By dawn, the main urban area of Samarinda fell into the hands of the guerrillas, and the Dutch could only stand guard around the headquarters.
Xu Shuzheng also entered the city in person. This was the first city he had conquered in the past few years since he came to Nanyang, and it was also a seaport. Having a port means that he can get more supplies in the future, and at the same time, he can also control Borneo.
By transporting special products out, a virtuous cycle can be formed, and there is no need to simply rely on domestic blood transfusions. This is definitely a huge turning point for the guerrillas.
"Report to the commander-in-chief that 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 gunpowder smoke, and nodded: "Okay, make preparations immediately to deal with these remaining defeated generals before eight o'clock."
Just as the soldiers were preparing, suddenly a white flag was picked out from Colin's headquarters, and the Dutch surrendered!
Seeing this scene, the soldiers were surprised at first, and then overjoyed. They did not expect that the Dutch were so vulnerable. Of course, for Westerners, surrender is not an unacceptable thing, and Colin was also very calm. He had already
I have tried my best, but at this point, what else can I do but surrender!
A battle ended prematurely because of Colin's surrender. The guerrillas finally seized a coveted port and seized a large amount of supplies, but these were secondary. They were finally able to fly their flag openly.
Just after capturing Samarinda, Xu Shuzheng and others officially sent out a telegram, announcing the establishment of the South China Autonomous Federation and 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. Anyone with a discerning eye knew clearly that there must be China's shadow behind the Nanyang Chinese's ability to establish a nation.
Therefore, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands immediately and aggressively approached the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and demanded a reply from China. Gu Weijun appeared polite and invited the ambassadors of the two countries into the living room. He smiled and said to them: "The issue in Nanyang is the internal affairs of the Netherlands. We
It is not convenient to interfere, but in order to ensure the safety of Chinese nationals, the Fengtian aircraft carrier battle group that is training in the South China Sea will immediately go south to Borneo to carry out the evacuation mission. We hope that the UK and the Netherlands can cooperate,"
