1890 King of Southeast Asia

Chapter 19: Persuading Henry to Surrender

The battle was not fierce. The ship was surrounded by the dock. I couldn't move. The first ship died more than a dozen gunners and taxpayers. The remaining technicians under the protection of the captain, mechanic, etc.

At this time, a soldier was close to the cabin, and the first grenade was thrown down from the door, and the captain immediately ordered the surrender.

With the surrender of the soldiers of the first ship, two remaining ships also raised the white flag one after another. In addition, the biggest casualties were jumping down just now, climbing into the boat. In the two processes, four soldiers sprained and three were injured, one of which was fractured.

As of now, the biggest casualties of Chinese soldiers are the raid of the Dutch barracks. The second is the shipyard. The guards of the turret are too dedicated. Instead, they are more harmful to the Chinese soldiers. There are also mosquitoes, although we have taken measures to prevent mosquitoes, they cannot be eliminated.

After the surrender of the Navy, the Erlian left a row, responsible for guarding the enemy and the defending shipyard. This row also included six wounded.

The remaining five routines to the inner city moved closer. At this point, although the inner city also concentratedly concentrated the colonial army and about 500 militias, it has lost all possible support. After the northern turret is controlled, the pirates have lost their boarding ascension. The island's opportunity, unless you find a beach to move closer at will, but the pirate is like a bandit, and the artillery shells fall down.

Throughout Surabaya, the military existence maintained by the Dutch is left in the inner city, the southern turrets, and both of them, all of which have been blocked. The time has reached 5 pm. The battle has lasted for three hours, but because the battle is too simple, except for bullets, except for bullets It consumed nearly 20,000, nearly 100 cannonballs, hundreds of 37 guns. And other weapons can be replenished because the output can be greatly increased now, but the bullet shells can not work.

And attacking the inner city will definitely be fierce, especially the bunkers built by the Dutch, which is difficult to defeat by three -inch cannons alone.

At present, there is still a defense, but Liu Yiming is not ready to attack. At this time, the attack is up.

At 6 pm, the two battalions of the two battalions were assembled. There were targeted lightning layouts around each of the surrounding parts. Surabaya had actually been captured.

Liu Yiming has been thinking about post -war and next war.

"The news that Surabaya was captured in a short period of time could not be passed out, and this empty window period must be used well!"

At seven o'clock in the evening, Liu Yiming convened the leaders of various battalions and the leaders of the Chinese in Surabaya gathered in a small ocean building not far from the inner city. The theme of the meeting was to treat the Dutch.

"Return to blood with blood, and return to teeth." Wang Yang gritted his teeth. The losses in the battle in this battle were the worst. This is also the idea of ​​the army and the rest of the young people, and there are also some elderly people.

"This group of people is useful. At least it is hostage. There are these people who are there. The Dutch people will worry about three points. The old man believes that only the evil heads, and the rest are left as a purpose!" At this time, there were people who thought calmly. For the older and middle -aged and elderly people, they are mixed with some young people.

Anyway, a faction is killing, the other is the killing leader, and the others are used as a chip.

"Okay, I probably know. At present, Surabaya's battle is only in the inner city. He will surrender without hitting him in the southern turret in a few days." Liu Yiming ended his speech on both sides.

"We need to consider how to leave after the war. First of all, the Dutch will not stop after the war. He will not watch Surabaya from his control, there will be cruel battles behind!"

"However, we cut off the contact of Surabaya for the first time. We should be able to hide it for a few days. After that, they had to confirm it. It was two days until they sent troops, and we should have the preparation time for five to ten days!"

"The most important thing now is the time. A group of arms replenishment I ordered in Singapore has been launched. It is expected to arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon."

"Now there are two things. First, the attack on the inner city must be completed before tomorrow afternoon. , All kinds of tools, raw materials, etc. "" ".

"As for the Dutch in the city, they can catch it, but they cannot be killed maliciously! We need chips to delay time."

"In addition, find a messenger and let the people in the city know that in addition to surrender, they can only go if they only destroy one road. It can reduce casualties and reduce it! Our soldiers are expensive."

The meeting ended quickly. That night, the battalion planned to touch it, but was discovered, three died, and 17 injured.

In the early morning of the next day, the messenger became a negotiating representative. Lin Anmin, an import and export merchant who had been engaged in trade for a long time, was proficient in multiple languages, traveled to many countries, and volunteered to negotiate.

Lin Anmin advanced to the city, came to Henry's headquarters, began to negotiate with Henry, and explained the current situation.

"Hello, Mr. Major, I am a Chinese representative. Before the negotiations start, I will give you something to see something. This is the banner of your military camp. This is the banner of your navy. You have a gun ""

"I think these should be able to prove that you have no reinforcements. May I ask Mr. Major to consider surrender?"

"Think of beauty, you yellow! Pipis! Monkey! Even if you attacked the barracks, we will never surrender. Wait, Badavia will send troops soon. If you are you, I will definitely draw it A small boat runs far away! "" "

"Major, we considered that you might say these words before we came here, so I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now. In order to increase our persuasiveness, please fire a red flare, and then you can decide." The negotiator said calmly.

"Then let me see what tricks you can play." Henry fired a red flare himself.

"Quick, maximum shooting angle, load!" As the red flare was launched, in a residential house outside the inner city, an extended version of the conscienceless cannon was placed in the yard, and the shells were also specially made warhead-shaped shells.

"Loading completed!"

"Ready!"

"Ignition!"

As the fuse burned out with a hissing sound.

Bang~

The explosive package wrapped in 20 kilograms of picric acid flew out in a perfect parabola and fell into an unknown corner of the inner city.

Boom boom~

A thunderous roar, accompanied by thick smoke rising into the sky, a small building hit by the bullet collapsed instantly, and the surrounding buildings were also damaged. The millstone-sized stone soared into the sky and flew dozens of meters high, which was just visible in Henry's headquarters.

"So, Major Henry, do you want to gamble? We only have this one shot?" The negotiator said in his heart.

"I demand that I be treated as an officer. You can't deprive us of our private property and abuse us!" Henry turned his head and became more cowardly. He had to be cowardly. Timo's gun was a new heavy artillery of more than 300 mm! And it could obviously hit the city wall, but it hit the living area. At least a dozen people died in the previous shot. Henry was scared.

"Everyone can leave items not exceeding 100 Dutch guilders, hand in all weapons, line up in an orderly manner, and accept our arrangements. I am already very kind!" Lin Anmin said easily.

"What!" Henry opened his eyes wide: "You can't do this, that's my private property!"

"But it will be troublesome to tell whether it is your property. We don't have so much time. Let's do this. You can carry your personal belongings and portable property. But the fixed assets and goods, factories and workshops in the city must be intact!"

"And all the Dutch will be centrally guarded until the end of the war. If you win, you will be saved. If you lose, we are not demons, we will release you!"

"In addition, I believe that it will not be all your property in Surabaya, Major Henry. If you agree, you will only give up part of the property. If you disagree, it may not be the case. Maybe the next bombardment will be here?" Lin Anmin said slowly.

"What is centralized custody? Concentration camp?" Henry asked.

Seeing that Henry was no longer talking about property, Lin Anmin knew that he could accept it.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not a concentration camp. We will concentrate you in the southeast corner of the city. All Dutch people will live there before the end of the war. We will provide the necessary food and water."

"At the same time, you will elect representatives to manage the Dutch, but you must abide by our rules and regulations. Don't worry, as long as you don't come out, we won't enter the restricted area, but you can't come out either."

"You'd better hurry up. The commander outside doesn't have much patience. In fact, some people want to choose to attack by force, so that they can get revenge. What do you think?"

"I..." Henry hesitated.

Seeing this, Lin Anmin took out two surrender documents, which had surrender signs written in both Chinese and Dutch, and the Chinese's guarantee not to harm prisoners of war.

"Sign it, and then call everyone to surrender their guns. You are not allowed to leave this place with any weapons."

Henry stood there like a sculpture.

"If you don't sign, next time, I won't be the one to speak, and there won't be such favorable conditions." Lin Anmin threatened.

Seeing Henry still didn't move, Lin Anmin stood up.

"Then let the cannons speak!"

"Wait a minute, we surrender!" Henry saw that Lin Anmin was leaving and could not stand the pressure, so he chose to surrender.

If he surrendered, he could take away most of his liquid funds, about hundreds of thousands of Dutch guilders, which was much better than being thrown into the prisoner-of-war camp.

Lin Anmin left the inner city with the surrender letter. The inner city was still being sorted out. The next day, on the 16th, he officially surrendered.

After that, the first battalion took the surrender letter to the southern artillery fort, and the guards of the southern artillery fort surrendered decisively. Now, the entire Surabaya is completely controlled by the Chinese.
