afterglow

Chapter 97
Qiao Yang operated the M7921 heavy machine gun and continued to shoot at the two armored vehicles of the Dutch-Indian Army, causing sparks to fly from them, with dense bullet marks and bullet holes all over them.

The loud roar of the heavy machine gun almost resounded throughout the Katalin Hotel. The tenants hid in fear and shivered in their rooms, and some people fled boldly.

The miserable wailing of the driver came from the AC-III armored vehicle that was hit. One armored vehicle lost control and crashed into a house on the side of the road; In just a few seconds, the car became a burning mass of fire.

Because of the limited field of view, neither of them even knew where the incoming fire was coming from.

But the other soldiers knew it, but the ills of lax military discipline were fully reflected at this moment. The soldiers of the Dutch Indian Army who jumped off the truck were at a loss-what should they do now?Do you want to shoot at the machine gun fire point upstairs in the distance?What about the two tanks in front of us?

The Dutch lieutenant who led the team yelled and ordered a platoon to drive to the hotel, while the others surrounded the two tanks.

However, they have no anti-tank weapons and can only throw grenades or fire grenades.

However, unless it is a cluster grenade, how can it pose a threat to a tank?Although a steel plate with a thickness of more than ten millimeters is fragile, it is only relative.

Fearless and fearless, Zhou Changfeng drove the tank to the direction of the pursuing Dutch and Indian troops. There was also a shooting hole in front of the driver's position of the CTL-3 tank, so Zhou Changfeng stretched out an MP-18/28 submachine gun.

"Tat-tat-tat" passed by, and the two Javanese soldiers who had no time to find cover were knocked down to the ground, while the M7919A4 machine gun operated by Wang Mingfa beat the enemy to the ground with precise short bursts.

The small space inside the car is prone to moths. Zhou Changfeng fired a submachine gun just now, and several bullet casings jumped into Wang Mingfa's collar, causing him to grin his teeth.

At this moment, hundreds of Dutch and Indian troops were suppressed by the crossfire and could not move. The explosion of the grenade had no effect on the tank at all.

There are two tanks on the front, and the heavy machine guns upstairs in the hotel on the side. The scene where the thin Javanese soldiers were hit by 12.7mm bullets was very bloody-hitting a limb is equal to amputation, and hitting the torso is almost like cutting in half!

Such a horrific fate made them dare not lean forward at all. They only dared to curl up behind the wreckage of the armored vehicle or in the houses on both sides of the street, and shot indiscriminately in the general direction.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, it will be troublesome when their reinforcements arrive!" Wang Mingfa shouted while changing the belt.

"The pick-up car should be coming soon...Look, to the left!" Zhou Changfeng hadn't finished speaking when a van drove over slowly from behind.

Three smoke grenades were thrown from the truck in succession in order to obscure the view.

And the two tanks also started to back up knowingly, and then a few people opened the hatch and got out of it.

The four of Zhou Changfeng ran to the van, and boarded the van one by one. Then the van reversed quickly, then made a very beautiful U-turn, and accelerated to the southwest.

At this time, a platoon of Dutch and Indian soldiers ordered to go to the hotel rushed into the Katarin Hotel like a wolf, and the terrified tenants and waiters were driven outside by them.

The heavy machine gun upstairs was still ringing, and the sound of the "thump, thud, thud" gunshot was like a hammer hitting the heart, which made people tremble with fear.

A few minutes later, a dozen Javanese soldiers arrived at the door of Room 0907 led by two Dutch non-commissioned officers.

However, the door of the room was locked, and Shen Yu and others moved the bed and cabinet behind the door, so the soldiers of the Dutch Indian Army couldn't push it open no matter how hard they pushed.

Frustrated, they shot directly at the hinges, threw the fallen door aside, and began trying to knock the cabinet down.

The gunfire stopped, and outside the window of Room 0907, Qiao Yang and Guo Shenggen climbed up the rope and entered Room 1007.

Shen Yu stayed until the end. He fastened a ring tied with a thin thread to the window, sneered in the direction of the door, and then climbed up along the rope.

After going upstairs, they pushed open the door without looking back, and didn't take the elevator, but went straight to the stairwell.

After pushing away the cabinets and beds that blocked the way, the Javanese soldiers who rushed into Room 0907 did not see a single figure, but through the glass windows, they saw heavy machine guns and mortars on the outer platform.

A Dutch corporal leading the team walked over furiously, "These damned rebels!" He said, and he opened the window.

The thin wire was thus pulled, and the safety pin of the prompt fuze was pulled off, and a dozen 50g or 100g TNT pellets packed in a large suitcase were detonated on the spot.

"boom!"

Shen Yu and his party who were in the stairwell were shaken by the explosion and almost rolled down.

Shen Yu, who looked normal, smiled slightly and said, "It's so convenient, you don't need to deal with the scene."

On the street, Zhou Changfeng and others in the van saw a cloud of flames and gunpowder smoke gushing out of a window on the ninth floor platform of the Katarin Hotel, billowing black smoke straight into the sky.

Everything happened too fast, from the discovery of the attack on the Tadio barracks to the forcible raid on the villa, it took only a quarter of an hour.

The First Division of the Dutch-Indian Army, which is not in a state of combat readiness, is now in chaos. Many officers are on vacation. After enjoying the leisure time in the officers' club at night, they are still sleeping soundly this morning.

The telephones of the division headquarters were almost ringing off the hook, and some of the scattered regiments and battalions could be contacted, and some could not.

Until now, they still don't know whether it was the indigenous rebels who launched the attack. The indigenous rebellions on Java Island and Sumtara Island have always existed intermittently. However, the direct attack on Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies, was Haven't seen you in years.

Compared with the hip-pull colonial army, the Dutch-Indian police are more reliable, but this "reliable" only refers to a certain response, rather than direct claws like the Dutch-Indian army.

But just some Javanese police with pistols and lever rifles as their most powerful weapon can stop a converted van?

There was a hastily set up checkpoint on the road leading to the outskirts of the city. Guo Shenggen, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, fired immediately and scored four out of five shots with the M95 "Hambreg" rifle in his hand, two of which were The headshot was an excellent result, and the truck easily rushed out of the city.

The truck that flew away stopped at the predetermined location, where there were already two trucks pretending to be fruit trucks waiting by the roadside.

After confirming that everyone was in the car, the two trucks set off immediately, heading towards the railway on the outskirts of the city.

Although she had maintained a calm and breezy expression before, Shen Yu couldn't help complaining now.

"It's really shocking, Brother Zhou, are you here to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace?" He said with a wry smile.

"Shouldn't it be fun?" Zhou Changfeng didn't care now, and he said relaxedly: "It went so smoothly, and several backup plans didn't come in handy. What's so frightening? The Dutch colonial army is really too stretched." gone."

Shen Yu rolled her eyes, "Because they weren't preparing for battle at all, you are a sneak attack, if you were really prepared for battle, would you still dare to act so boldly?"

"I really don't dare." Zhou Changfeng replied frankly, and then said: "But who told them not to be on guard at all? Blame me?"
