1890 King of Southeast Asia

Wang Yang was at a loss. Now was a critical period. There was not enough manpower to prevent mosquitoes and kill insects every day, but he had to do it. Even if he got malaria and received timely treatment, he would not be able to fight for the time being, and the Dutch were eyeing him covetously.

Back at the headquarters, Wang Yang found Yang Tao and Xie Hui to discuss this matter with them.

After explaining the various situations to them, everyone was silent.

"What should we do? Malaria is highly contagious. Even if it can be cured, we can't hold guns during the treatment for a few days. We also have to prevent mosquitoes. Where can we get so many people?" Xie Hui was a little at a loss.

"Indeed, it is too stressful for us to promote these things at the same time. The soldiers on the front line need to take turns to rest, and we have to reserve a reserve team. At most, we can temporarily withdraw the reserve team for mosquito control." Yang Tao said while flipping through his notebook.

"But this is not a long-term solution. The reserve team will transfer a battalion to Dean Wang and let them do mosquito control. In addition, send more signal soldiers to urge the special branch!" Wang Yang said.

"It's not easy for them to be behind the enemy lines, and we have to urge them. If they are discovered in advance, the casualties will be great!" Yang Tao disagreed.

"You say, if we have malaria, will they also have it?" Xie Hui said.

Wang Yang and Yang Tao had not yet reacted to who Xie Hui was talking about. After they recovered, they looked at each other in surprise.

"Yes! We are only a few kilometers apart, and we strictly implement hygiene standards. Even so, there are soldiers who are bitten by mosquitoes and spread malaria. The Dutch may not even provide hot water. There is no reason not to have it." Yang Tao analyzed.

"Send scouts to find out. If they also have malaria, then the plan can be changed and the problem will be solved!" Wang Yang said.

After that, he went to arrange the reconnaissance. This time, if they want to get close to the enemy camp, ordinary scouts will definitely not work. The special forces battalion must be dispatched. On Wang Yang's side, there is less than one company left in the special forces battalion. The rest are outside, either monitoring the Dutch or catching tongues. Some are in Batavia City, trying to pass the news to the outside world.

The rest also have tasks, and only Wang Yang and the other two can discuss it. Because the special forces battalion is directly under Liu Yiming, and this time they are just cooperating with the operation, not completely obeying orders.

It is too dangerous to touch the edge of the enemy's base. Although they will do it, Wang Yang does not want to leave a proud personality. He can be a cold-blooded general, but he must not be arrogant. That is not a good thing.

The military situation is urgent, and Wang Yang went directly to Jiang Wang's tent.

"Commander Wang, do you have any mission?" Jiang Wang was reading a book. Seeing Wang Yang coming, he put down the book and stood up and asked.

"It's like this, Jiang Wang." Wang Yang organized his words.

"Our soldiers have malaria. The dean believes that the source of malaria is mosquito bites. At present, there is a risk of malaria expanding. I want you to explore the Dutch military camp to see if they have malaria."

"Malaria?" Jiang Wang didn't pay attention to the field hospital. To be precise, he only paid attention to the situation outside the camp.

"Don't we have medicine? I will arrange someone to go there at night, but don't think about sneaking into the camp." Jiang Wang agreed.

"There are medicines, but it takes time to cure the disease. We only have so many people, and one less sick person will be sick." Wang Yang said.

"Are you going to take this opportunity to fight back?" Jiang Wang suddenly figured out the key points.

"Yes!" Wang Yang didn't shy away from anything.

"Okay, I'll go there myself tonight!"

Jiang Wang went to prepare after he finished speaking.

On the other side, the special detachment.

Wang Xu and others had already arrived at the designated location, but in order to hide, they only built positions on both sides of the road. In order not to alert the enemy, they also let the Dutch logistics team pass twice.

"How is the main force?" Wang Xu asked the signalman.

"Malaria, someone on the position has malaria, but it is not contagious. Those who are sick are being treated in the hospital." The signalman paused, "Now the brothers are very scared. If they die in the Dutch, they are still men. If they die of illness, it would be really unfair."

"Don't worry too much, put your heart at ease. We have plenty of medicine. Even our detachment has a lot of quinine." Wang Xu comforted.

After opening the letter and decoding it, Wang Xu began to read.

"Deepen the existing trenches, start building fortifications on the road, connect the fortifications, bury the mines, don't let the next batch of baggage trains go, set up the second and third layers of backup positions, and finally fight!" After reading it, Wang Xu was a little solemn and excited.

In addition to occupying Dahukou and killing three Dutchmen, the special branch has not had any achievements. Now they finally have a chance to fight.

On the evening of October 25th, the special branch began to build fortifications. The first-line position only needed to connect the two sides of the road, which was soon completed. To be on the safe side, Wang Xu established a second defensive position. As a defensive depth, it was quite simple.

On the same night of October 25th, Jiang Wang took two good hands and quietly moved towards the Dutch camp.

One kilometer away, the Dutch sentries had begun to gradually become dense. Jiang Wang looked for an opportunity for a long time before he successfully crossed the sentry on the open ground.

"Captain, it's a bit difficult to get to the back. The front is flat, and the left and right wings are either rivers or cliffs. It will make too much noise to get there." Yu Maoxun, who came with him, said. He is one of the two experts.

"Don't talk nonsense. This mission is very important. Find out if the Dutch have malaria. If they do, what is the situation in the camp now? This is directly related to the army's subsequent activities, and even the victory or defeat." Jiang Wang said.

"Captain, we can't go to the front. Diving makes a lot of noise. If we are not careful, we will be discovered. We can only go to the mountain." Yu Maoxun heard this and started to analyze directly.

"What Old Yu said is right, but we know, and the Dutch know, that there is a high probability of a sentry on the mountain." Jiang Wang said.

"In this way, Old Yu and I will go over the mountain. If we are discovered, the Dutch will focus their attention on the mountain. At that time, Old Ma will go through the water. If we are not discovered, we will quietly retreat before dawn." Jiang Wang said.

"Okay!" Ma Ruijing, who was taciturn on the side, said.

The three people split into two groups and moved towards the two wings of the Dutch.

It was late at night, 1:10, Jiang Wang led Yu Maoxun to the cliff on the right side of the Dutch, but it was on the other side.

"It's not easy to pass!" Yu Maoxun observed for a while and couldn't find a safe place to pass.

"Go up quietly, wipe out this sentry, and you can pass." Jiang Wang looked at it and found that it was indeed not easy to pass, so he thought of hitting the sentry.

"Is it too risky?" Yu Maoxun asked.

"No, it's dark, no one can see clearly." Jiang Wang said, and then he took the lead and moved towards the target sentry post.

This is a temporary sentry post. You can see that it is not built carefully. It has a wooden fence and a cabin. There is only a campfire.

There are three people in this sentry post. There are more than a dozen similar sentries on the cliff.

At this time, two soldiers were resting, and only one was yawning and standing guard. He didn't see that in the woods not far away, two pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Jiang Wang carefully touched up. He was only 50 meters away from the sentry post. It would only take a few seconds to run at full speed, but now is not a charge, Wang Xu still needs to wait.

The opportunity came soon. The soldier on duty seemed to have changed his post and called another soldier. The two had an argument. Taking this opportunity, the two quickly approached the sentry post.

The dispute in the sentry post was quickly settled. After the sound stopped, Jiang Wang and Yu Maoxun dared not move, but strangely, there was no more movement and no one came out.

The two looked at each other.

"Captain, what should we do?" Yu Maoxun asked.

"Mad, do it, do it quickly. If you are discovered, go into the woods and make a noise to create an opportunity for Lao Ma." Wang Xu looked at the sky. After completing the mission, he had to retreat.

The two climbed up to the place where the sentry was located. Through the crack of the door, Yu Maoxun saw that the three people inside were already asleep, and he was speechless.

Jiang Wang didn't care about that. He took out his bayonet and quietly walked into the door. Seeing this, Yu Maoxun also took out his bayonet.

Puff, puff.

Two muffled sounds did not alarm anyone. Yu Maoxun was about to give the Dutchman who was a little disturbed by the struggle a knife, but Jiang Wang stopped him.

"Catch the tongue, more than we see." Jiang Wang put the bayonet on the Dutchman's neck and slapped him.

Albert Pete is a French-Dutch. Of course, his French history dates back to the time of Napoleon. His grandfather once fought for Napoleon, but unfortunately Napoleon failed. Now, he is just a colonial soldier of a second-rate small country, and he is still very unhappy.

Albert Pete was sleeping soundly. In his dream, he returned to Europe and became a French again. He bought the farm and winery that his grandfather had always talked about. When he was happy, the winery suddenly stood up and slapped him on the head.

"Ah!" Albert Pete woke up and found that his face did hurt. Not only that, two knives were on his neck.

"Don't talk." Jiang Wang put a knife against Albert's neck and threatened in a low voice in Holland.

"I surrender!" After Albert figured out the situation, he immediately raised his hand to the French army and said in Chinese with a strange accent.

"You can speak Chinese?" Jiang Wang asked in surprise.

"My ideal is to be a businessman. The best people to do business in the Far East are Chinese!" Albert said.

"So, name, age."

"Albert Pate, French, 25 years old! You can know anything you want, just don't kill me!" Albert said tremblingly.

French?

"Don't talk nonsense, is there malaria in the barracks?" Jiang Wang asked.

"Yes, some people have malaria, especially the natives, and now everyone is discussing retreat." Albert said.

"Retreat? Many people have malaria?" Jiang Wang was surprised, because he hadn't noticed it this afternoon.

Are the Dutch pretending? Retreat? That's probably a bit serious.
