Wild North America 1846

One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky.

The Western Front Corps of the Tang Empire opened the way with fierce artillery fire. During the five-day bloody Batavia battle, nearly 5 shells were poured over the enemy's heads, almost razing the entire city to the ground.

The Dutch army was beaten and retreated. It was originally expected to last for 4 to 5 months in the city defense battle, but it collapsed after only 5 days.

Hundreds of barricades and more than 310 kilometers of trenches, seven lines of defense based on solid urban buildings, and more than 14 defenders, under the impact of devastating artillery fire and armored chariots, are like bubbles. Broken just as easily.

In the 5-day bloody battle, more than half of the Dutch army suffered casualties, and more than 2.7 officers and soldiers were captured.

During the hasty retreat, they encountered the fierce pursuit of the notorious Imperial Armored Division, the 101st Dahe Division, and the 103rd Red River Valley Division.

At this time, the Central Corps and the Bali occupation army also successively reported victory.

The Central Corps, with the Kalimantan occupation army as the main force, was divided into two groups, gathering 2.6 troops along the way, and successfully landed in Yogyakarta, an important port city in the south of Java Island. A large city in central China with a population of 5200.

The other 1.7 troops landed in the port of Surabaya in the north of Java Island. After 4 days of fighting, they wiped out more than 2760 Dutch defenders without any risk, and repelled more than [-] people mainly from the White People's League. Resistance forces consolidated their hold on the port of Surabaya.

The Bali occupying forces captured mainly offshore sailboats, and three iron-clad destroyers covered them with firepower, crossed the 10-kilometer-wide strait, and landed at the coastal fishing port of Meng County, Nandu.

After the slight resistance was cleared, the follow-up army continued to flow across the sea, transporting 1.57 troops ashore in three days, and 2.36 troops in five days.

At present, the occupying forces in Bali have divided into two groups, advancing from east to west, sweeping up all villages and towns and Dutch plantations along the way, and arresting local whites, wives and children.

In the all-out Java Island War, the white armed militia was the backbone of the resistance force. The Governor's Office of the Dutch East Indies has mobilized 6.9 white militias to join the war against the army of the Tang Empire.

And all over the island of Java
The total number of the Dutch colonial army was only 1.44, and the total resistance army was more than 20, mainly composed of indigenous servants and white militia.

More than [-]% of the main force of the army under the command of the Governor-General of the Netherlands East Indies has been wiped out in Sumatra and Kalimantan, which has caused the extreme emptiness of the troops in Java.

The Boers in South Africa's all-people war dealt a heavy blow to the British invaders, especially the textbook guerrilla warfare and ambushes, and achieved brilliant victories.

On the one hand, this severely slapped the British in the face, and on the other hand, it gave strong psychological hints to the Dutch colonists in the East Indies tens of thousands of kilometers away, adding incomparable confidence.

Inspired by high patriotic enthusiasm, almost 13 to 50-year-old adult white men, including Dutch, Belgian, German, and French, were all called to join this brutal war against the invasion of the Tang Empire.

Therefore, in the area occupied by the army of the Tang Empire, whether it is a white manor, a white plantation, or a white factory or company, it is right to catch the old and young, women and children one by one.

Every white family has men in the army, and they're all criminal families, and confiscation of property is what it should be.

The Dutch Governor's Office pinned its hopes on a civil war and hoped to drag the Tang Empire's army into the quagmire. The fact is shocking.

The Java Island War did not replicate the successful experience of the Boer War. Instead, it was rubbed against the ground by the Tang Empire army armed to the teeth, and the losses were unacceptable.

End of march
A high-level military meeting is being held in the former joint office of the East Indies Governor's Mansion, which was riddled with artillery fire.

"There is an old saying called "East Shi Xiaoxiao", the Dutch people's wishful thinking is doomed to fail. Because our ancients have another saying: "Huainan is orange, Huaibei is orange".

Therefore, in order to win the war, one must have a profound foundation in Chinese culture. Our ancestors have left behind a splendid cultural heritage. "

General Liu Zhongguo stood at the top and talked eloquently, in a very happy mood. He scanned the group of senior generals with radiant eyes.

Then with a serious look, he respectfully cupped his fists in the direction of the empire, and said in a deep voice;
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Empire has a decree..."

With a "crash", all the senior officers participating in the military meeting stood up in awe and responded in unison; "Your Majesty, I respectfully ask for instructions."

A strange look flashed across General Liu Zhongguo's face, and he said loudly;
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor has a decree;
I am very comforted to hear that the Imperial Expeditionary Forces are united in their efforts, and everyone strives to be the first, to show the country's prestige and military prestige in the East Indian islands.

The East Indian Islands, a land of barbarians!
Western vassal barbarians have occupied this place for a long time, causing disasters to the East Indian islands, and they regard it as a place to raise Gu, and use this as a base to look north to Shenzhou, and they often have unruly intentions.

Our army of the prosperous Tang Dynasty helped the dangers and surveyed the chaos, re-established the Zhengque of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and educated the people.

The merits of this move will benefit the present and benefit the future.

It is hoped that all the soldiers will fight bravely to be the first to wipe out the ghosts and monsters of the East Indian Islands in one fell swoop, and to reproduce the bright and bright world, so as to live up to the ambition of the hot-blooded men of the Tang Dynasty.

I have traveled thousands of miles west of Chang'an, eagerly looking forward to the great Tang army returning home with honor and sharing the honor of victory. "

The imperial decree ordered the senior generals to respond in unison with their faces flushed with enthusiasm;
"Your Majesty Long En, we will die forever."

"Long live my emperor... Long live... Long live!"

"Long live the Great Tang Empire, long live the Royal Guards, long live His Majesty the Holy Emperor, long live!"

The majestic and sonorous answer shook the sky, and the senior military officers could feel the deep love of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. At this moment, the blood in their hearts was boiling, and they felt the supreme glory.

Admiral Liu Zhongguo said that "the east is imitating the poor", there is a basis for it. The tropical Java Island has no cavalry tradition, and the delicate horses are difficult to adapt to the humid and high temperature climate in this area.

Under the command of the Governor-General of the Netherlands East Indies, there are only two cavalry regiments with a total of more than [-] cavalry, all of which are deployed in Sumatra.

In the Battle of Upper Indragiri, these Dutch cavalry units were all wiped out by the imperial armored division, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens.

Today, the Dutch army on Java Island has lost its highly mobile force, does not have the ability to penetrate in a large area, and does not have the conditions for guerrilla warfare.

The small island of Java has a total area of ​​about 13.88 square kilometers. The terrain resembles a French baguette. It is about 970 kilometers long from east to west and 160 kilometers wide from north to south.

The continuous mountains here run through the whole island from west to east, and there are large areas of tropical rainforest. Some valleys and coastal plains are like a string of pearls, mostly located higher than the north and west.

Such terrain conditions are doomed to lack of maneuvering room.

As long as the Tang Empire army guards the valley passages, important bridges and towns, and blocks ports and roads, the Dutch army will be a turtle in a urn, unable to fly to the sky.

Not to mention mobile operations, lack of logistical support will soon suffocate to death.

Therefore, the cavalry guerrilla warfare that has been fought for thousands of miles in South Africa can only be a delusion here.

compared with

The army of the Tang Empire was relatively well prepared. Whether it was the Imperial Guard or the Royal Army, they were all standardized mule-horse chemical divisions, which is also the symbol of the advanced army in the world today.

In order to adapt to operations in the East Indies, the Tang Empire army made appropriate changes, with some trucks, tractors, mule carts, and donkey carts replacing horse carts.

A small part of the cavalry unit is used as mounts by more than 7600 Jinjiang horses provided by Paradise Province. This is an excellent horse breed that is very suitable for the tropical and humid areas of Southeast Asia. It is produced in the coastal area of ​​​​Fujian.

It has been more than ten years since Paradise Province introduced Jinjiang horses for breeding, forming a large-scale population.

This kind of horse has the characteristics of strong resistance to high temperature, high humidity and rough feeding. It also has the advantages of early maturity, good performance in harness and high fecundity.

Not only can it be used as a draft horse, but it can also be cultivated in water and dry fields. The disadvantage is that it has poor explosiveness and average endurance. Compared with warm-blooded horses and Arabian horses, it is smaller.

With full preparations, the army of the Tang Empire possessed relatively high field mobility, and was able to use cars, mules, carts, and cavalry units to achieve large-scale transfers of hundreds of kilometers per day.

The offensive strategy of the Expeditionary Corps with three arrows at once cut Java into several relatively small battlefields.

There is no place to hide, no place to hide.

After losing Batavia, the most important city in the west, and cities in the central region such as Yogyakarta and Surabaya, the Dutch army will inevitably be defeated. This is not a situation that can be restored with a few slogans.

General Fan Pengfei, the commander of the Expeditionary Corps, was an extremely cautious veteran. He was not in a hurry to wipe out the Dutch army, but ordered the troops to take steps to consolidate the occupied area first.

Today, in Batavia and its surrounding areas, 10,000+ camps composed of local aborigines and prisoners of war have begun large-scale cleaning and reconstruction of urban ruins, and hot construction scenes are everywhere.

With 10,000+ people working together, the work of cleaning up the city's ruins is progressing very quickly. It is almost the same in just a dozen days, and the rest is new construction work.

The dilapidated walls should be knocked down and cleaned up, the usable bricks and stones are stacked neatly one after another, and all kinds of dismantled wood are placed in a centralized place.

The remaining diamond rubble fills up the shell crater, re-tamps the road, and lays a thick layer of crushed stone for compaction, plus fly ash or lime, which is a good road foundation cushion.

Paving asphalt on these roads, establishing green belts and separation belts, and planting tall street trees is a spacious and high-standard road.

After a few days of fierce fighting, the army began to occupy the surrounding towns in several ways based on the existing foundation, further eroding and steadily expanding the results of the battle.

Big and small battles happened from time to time, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was not much time left for the Dutch to be completely defeated.

now think of it
The Dutch clamored to fight a war on Java Island for 25 years or even longer until the invading army of the Tang Empire was dragged down. What a ridiculous raving.

The imperial army continued to expand the occupied area, fighting during the day and defending at night, leaving almost no opportunity to take advantage of it.

During the Boer War, the Boers frequently attacked British shipping lines and supply towns, which was hardly seen in Java.

Because the towns of Batavia, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya, which are heavily occupied by troops, can get supplies directly from the sea, and the transportation line is only tens of kilometers or even a few kilometers, and the army can be killed in one to two minutes.

As for the occupying troops dispatched to surrounding towns, they only carry food and ammunition for five to six days, and one infantry company with four mule carts can solve the problem, which is not expensive.

The Dutch army wanted to grab, but basically they could only kick to the iron board.

Randomly one or two gray wolf armored vehicles parked at the intersection, before the bullets of the heavy machine guns are exhausted, it is almost impossible to break through, rushing up is courting death.
