Chapter 345 The Southern Expedition and the Northern War Ten Java III
When Yan Siqi reorganized the Fifth Division, he was officially promoted to colonel. The Chinese military rank system has not yet been tested, and the title of general has not yet appeared. Yin Feng planned to promote officers at all levels to the next level after he became king, and then he appointed a general.
Based on the Fifth Brigade of the former Third Division, the Fifth Division joined a large number of recruits who had just been recruited from mainland immigrants, and at the same time merged the 20th Regiment and several Borneo mine protection teams, Yiwu Bird Gun Soldiers and other miscellaneous brands. The troops, originally, Yan Siqi should have trained the troops well, but he threw all the training of recruits, forming troops, and organizing coordinated exercises to the new deputy division commander Lieutenant Colonel Luo Quanxiu, and the military supervisor Luo Yi went to work hard. Fortunately, there was another one The backbone officers of the Fifth Brigade and the new third-phase officers of the military academy helped to train the troops. Finally, the framework of the Fifth Division was set up within a month. Zheng Zhilong, Hong Xu and other former student backbone members were transferred into the The Fifth Division serves as officers at all levels.
In the next three months, the troops entered a comprehensive large-scale training stage. Yan Siqi still let go and let his subordinates be busy, and he just occasionally inspected the work of the division headquarters.
Yan Siqi was not lazy. During these days, he led his own guards and Luo Aquan's special forces to kill Dai Yake from the Borneo jungle.
Dai Yak natives are the biggest threat to the Chinese gold mining area, followed by small Malay states in Dongwanlu and other places. With the support of Mai Xiaoliu, the general manager of Nanyang Intelligence, Yan Siqi only brought a few hundred people deep into the jungle and villages one by one. After the killing, the indigenous tribes of West Borneo were killed in a few months and the colonies in the Nanyang region were too scattered, and there was no official civil servant management of the Nanyang garrison office. The main civil affairs are the Nanyang Branch of the China United Company. Because of this, no one can restrain Yan Siqi's behavior.
In Yan Siqi's opinion, it is enough for the officers to do this kind of thing training the troops. He, the commander in charge of the war. This time he fought in Jiangnan, the Chinese army had a good fight and showed mercy to the officials. Therefore, He was not satisfied with the war, so he personally joined the ranks of the special forces and participated in the battle of the killing. Due to his ostentatious personality and arbitrary style, Luo Aquan, who was supposed to be the commander of the killing operation, handed over the commander of the killing operation. The right was given to him.
Luo Aquan was originally a taciturn person, and had no desire for power. He was very careful and serious in his work, while Yan Siqi was a bold guy. The two of them had a very tacit understanding when they collaborated.
Nanyazhou, the capital of West Borneo, is actually in another time and space, Sanfa, a port city in northwest of Kalimantan. The local Malay Tuban has been destroyed by a Chinese gold mining company. Sanfa Sultan Omar? Agamutin was captured and sent to Taiwan. Now, he spent the rest of his life in a farm in Taiwan. Now, Nanyazhou is the capital of the Chinese company alliance led by the Chinese company. Yan Siqi led the Fifth Brigade south and just went to Nanya. The state landed and destroyed the Sudan Banenpahan, who was in conflict with the Chinese company, and a group of immigrants from China planted rice and sugarcane on the vacant land of the indigenous people. Gold mines are everywhere. In this sparsely populated tropical rainforest area, the Chinese can grow crops. You should know that Malays have not been able to self-sufficiency here for thousands of years. There are now 120,000 Chinese colonies in the entire West Borneo. As a result, all the small Malay countries were either destroyed or forced to sign alliance treaties to surrender to the jurisdiction of the Chinese company.
Except for Brunei, it has not yet surrendered to the Chinese, but this former powerful country in the South Ocean has now become a small city-state. The Dai Yaks scattered in the jungles of Dongwanlu and other places and have not been tamed. They are in the tropics. The situation is naturally too bad to live in the jungle, and the large army cannot enter at all, so Yin Feng asked Luo Aquan's special forces to come here to fight.
When the Hailong came to Nanyazhou Wharf with Yin Feng's handwritten order, Yan Siqi was not in the military camp at all. He was still in the tropical rainforest more than a hundred miles south.
The Sea Dragon Clipper is the latest communication ship. Yin Feng spent some time on this ship and used a lot of cast iron fasteners, which greatly increased its firmness and could withstand the attack of hurricanes at sea. The captain was Wugang. Zheng Quanyong, a graduate of the Navy School, is 30 years old this year and is the first descendant of Ryukyu overseas Chinese to join the ranks of navy officers.
He walked around the Fifth Division Headquarters anxiously, and when he met an officer, he grabbed him and asked, "Are you Commander Yan back?"
The military supervisor Luo Yi was just pulled by Zheng Quanyong and said to him with a wry smile: "Don't worry, we have sent a quick horse to the south jungle. There are sandy and gravel roads built by us Chinese everywhere in this area. Commander Yan got the news and walked along the way. The road can be returned within one day, and our Fifth Division has begun to mobilize and prepare to go into battle.”
A sound of horse hooves sounded rapidly, and Yan Siqi appeared magically. He was sweating all over, his shirt was stripped off, and he broke into the division office with his shirtlessness.
Luo Yi shouted in surprise: "Teacher Yan,"
Zheng Quanyong was shocked. Yin Feng always emphasized military discipline and military appearance in the military academy, but the young division commander in front of him did not look like a senior officer at all.
Yan Siqi saw Zheng Quanyong at a glance, stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "Is it the order of ship owner Yin? Let us send troops,"
Zheng Quanyong was stunned for a while, quickly took out Yin Feng's order documents and presented them with both hands.
Yan Siqi grabbed the documents with one hand and the military uniform with the other. After reading a few lines of words, he stopped suddenly and said in shock: "Why, Semarang has been captured, it's not good. In this way, we are in northern Java. The Tang people along the coast had to escape to Jingliwen or Sishui. The old guys in Sishui were uneasy and were unwilling to cooperate with our Chinese company, so our people could only escape to Jingliwen,"
Yan Siqi slapped the table with a "bang," and asked the officer Luo Yi, the officer in charge of the transfer: "Where is the commander Luo? Is the troops ready to set off? How long will it take to get on board? When will the ships of the Third Fleet be able to set off?"
Luo Yi took a deep breath. He had a lot of opinions about the style of Yan Siqi, but it was not the time to talk about these things. He slowly said: "As soon as the Hailong arrived, we had already issued an order to gather the troops. However, the ship owner originally planned to launch an attack on Nanyang after the New Year, so our troops are still in training. We want to leave a regiment here. The 20th regiment and the artillery regiment are in Nanyazhou. Get on the boat immediately, and the other two regiments are in Nanba. It takes at least four days to gather here when fighting the Laolu. At the same time, we need food, supplies, cannons and ammunition to be brought on the boat. We don’t have enough manpower. Including the assembly of troops, I estimate that it will take eight days to board the ship. I have notified the Third Fleet that their transport ships are mainly Fu Ship type. From here to Java, it will take thirteen days at the fastest, which means everything is If it goes well, it will take twenty days to one month for my Fifth Division to land in Java."
"It will take another month," Yan Siqi's face darkened and punched the table hard: "No, although Jingliwen Plantation, Farm and Shopping Mall have built prismatic forts, their ammunition reserves are limited. The brigade's garrison troops are insufficient. It has been a month since Semarang fell, and Jingliwen is in danger."
Many of the Chinese territory in Java were built by Yan Siqi there. The Chinese fortresses in Jingliwen and Batavia were built by him with his brothers from the Fifth Regiment. Now there is a huge crisis, and he is more anxious than anyone else. .
"Let's do this, Luo Jianjun, you organize new immigrants to carry ammunition and supplies on board. I will take people to Java immediately and set off tonight." Yan Siqi did not wait for Luo Yi to make an objection voice, and grabbed Zheng Quanyong and asked: " How many people can your ghost ship carry?"
Zheng Quanyong was stunned and replied: "The Hailong communication ship can carry up to 250 people, plus the required ammunition..."
"Okay, hurry back to the boat and prepare. The brothers of the special camp will return here in the evening. I will take my personal guards and the special camp brothers on the boat immediately." Yan Siqi did not allow them to react and grabbed himself The flintlock pistol turned around and left, and said before going out: "Brother Luo, wait for Deputy Commander Luo to come back, hurry up and get on the boat, I'll wait for you in Java,"
After saying that, Yan Siqi shook his hand and left the two of them looking at each other in the room.
"This, Yan Zhenquan is really worthy of his reputation," Zheng Quanyong said a long time later, and he saluted Luo Yi: "Luo Jianjun, I'll go back to the boat and prepare. Please transfer some for me. Food and fresh water,"
"This is no problem. Hey, our brother Zhenquan, always like this..." Luo Yi shook his head and sighed.
That night, 120 soldiers from Luo Aquan's special camp and 100 guard soldiers of Yan Siqi boarded the four-masted fast sailboat of the Sea Dragon. Luo Aquan's men were all afraid of the world's chaos, holding the highest salary among the Chinese soldiers. Everyone At least they have already recorded the third-class merit several times. They have always been in the dense forest for the past few months. They are tired of it. Now they are eager to go to Java to go to the indigenous people. Westerners go to war. The special camp is actually Yin. Feng was directly under the jurisdiction of the government and could not ignore Yan Siqi's orders, but they were full of desire to fight. Anyway, there was no war in West Borneo, and all the soldiers were willing to go to Java.
Yan Siqi and his party could only carry light equipment, so they only brought two 6 kilogram field copper cannons and carried a large number of the latest shotgun-type thunder rockets. Yan Siqi also took away three carrier pigeons. Before leaving, he agreed with Luo Yi to the Fifth Division. After everyone set out, if there is no news about Yan Siqi, they will log in directly in Jingliwen.
At this moment, the Chinese fortresses scattered around Jingliwen are surrounded by about 100,000 indigenous Madaran troops. It is indeed the most critical moment.
