1890 King of Southeast Asia

Chapter 69: Pinako softens

Zheng Guanghua is the three battalions of the special detachment. At first, he knew that he was selected into the special detachment. After knowing the task of the special detachment, he was also excited for a long time.

Zheng Guanghua was the second generation of immigrants. His father was a doctor. He was transported to Singapore by a pig's boat thirty years ago. Pirates, were plundered by the Dutch, and moved to Surabaya's house after many plundering attacks.

Zheng Guanghua had a huge hatred against the Dutch, the natives, and holding huge hatred. When he handled the hidden danger of the tiger's mouth, he killed decisively.

"This time we are the pioneer of the entire army. It can be said that this is the first formal task of our detachment. They all played their spirits, strive to get a door opening, pay attention to tactical actions. We have trained for so long. Previously, Zheng Guanghua mobilized before the war.

Zheng Guanghua directed the troops to move forward, approaching 300 meters without waves. On the low city wall of Parmanukan, a hundred local people shot at the South China Army.

A row of soldiers looked for bunkers at a distance of 300 meters. The soldiers with a better shooting technology shot from time to time. Unfortunately, there were not many results. Black theoretical guns can be played farther in theory, but the initial speed is low, the wind is large, and the three hundred meters bullets are floating.

Zheng Guanghua waited for a while, and when he heard the sound of his puppet, he knew that the mortar was fired.

"Chong!" Zheng Guanghua shouted, and then sounded the whistle.

The sharp voice spread far away to ensure that all soldiers could hear, and the soldiers began to bow.

Boom!

Until the explosion came, the soldiers began to run at all. They only had this short tens of seconds was the safest assault time.

The distance between 200 meters was gone, and it was less than 100 meters away from the city wall. The soldiers with violent charge stopped, breathed a breath, and observed the enemy by the way.

Zheng Guanghua found a bunker, a collapsed big tree, lying behind the stump, and the city wall of the observer.

"What's the matter? No one?" I couldn't see a few people, but listening to the scarcity of rare guns, there should be not many people, and Zheng Guanghua was a little embarrassed.

"The city wall is very low, it can be closer!" Zheng Guanghua judged in his heart.

"Du ~ du ~" The two short whistles sounded. The soldiers started tactical assaults.

After left and right, after paying the price of two deaths and two injuries, a row of assault was only 50 meters away from the gate of the city. This position cannot be moved forward, and there is no enough bunker to go forward.

"No right ..." Wang Xu said after seeing the scene through the telescope.

"Indeed, tentative attacks, this is almost the city wall, do you want to follow up?" Zheng Lei said.

"I mean it is too easy. Forget it, the command follows up." Wang Xu said.

Soon, there were two more rows of fighting. The defenders on the city wall hurriedly fired towards the reinforcements behind, and Zheng Guanghua's pressure was even less.

"Du, du, du, dudu ~" The short whistle came out from Zheng Guanghua's whistle, and a row of soldiers launched a total attack.

Without much obstacles, a row of soldiers rushed to the city wall inexplicably. More than 20 soldiers raised their guns to look at the top of their heads. Several soldiers ran to the gate of the city. Hang on the gate, pull the insurance, and then leave quickly.

BOOM!

The power of the grenade exploded a large hole in the city gate, and also broke the wood that closed the door. Zheng Guanghua rushed in with people.

Bang! Raising his hand, killing a native soldier, establishing a position quickly, spreading towards the walls on both sides, and shooting against the troops on the city wall.

The soldiers in the back rushed forward without life. Most of the firepower on the wall was attracted by Zheng Guanghua. In one minute, the full armed subsequent soldiers followed Zheng Guanghua's footsteps and consolidated the gate of the city gate.

"Three battalions keep up!" Behind, Wang Xu ordered.

When the three battalions entered the door, the battle was over soon, but Wang Xu's face was not very good.

"Isn't there a large city, don't you even have a artillery?" Wang Xu said.

This was really wrong with Jonney. There were artillery, but the artillery was taken away, and none of the whole city would fire.

"Go into the city!" Zheng Lei persuaded.

The special detachment quickly entered the city.

"Report, the Dutch ran away! Just out of the city!" The head of the three battalions took Zheng Guanghua to Wang Xu, who had just entered the city.

"Run?"

"I didn't see white people. I asked a few soils, and said that the Dutch had just ran! Before running, I went to the Telegraph Bureau to send a telegram." Zheng Guanghua said.

"Is the telegram bureau destroyed?" Wang Xu asked.

"No, it should not be too late, but the thermal warehouse was opened. The Dutch sent the weapons to the natives. Most of the city walls were temporary natives, only a few servants!" Zheng Guanghua said.

"Don't know how to do it!" Wang Xu said after hearing it.

"Don't chase it, you can't catch up, pay the city, and do it as a battle. I don't want to see more casualties!" Wang Xu thought about it.

Zheng Guanghua went to pass the order, and Zheng Lei said to Wang Xu.

"We have been playing for so long, and the natives who have been fighting have used such an aggressive means ..."

"There is no hindrance. I only knew when I communicated with Xie Hui before that there were no natives in several counties. Only big cities, such as Surabaya and Sanbao Romans, were control. , It's all an enemy "Wang Xu said.

"I mean, will people think we just like to pick on the weak..." Zheng Lei said weakly.

... Wang Xu was silent...

When the special detachment took down Pamanukan, Liu Yiming also returned to Surabaya, and was greeted by Surabaya's military, police, politicians, students, and industry representatives.

The news of victory had been passed back first, and Semarang held another grand bonfire party, and Surabaya had been waiting for Liu Yiming.

Bang! The sound of fireworks rang out.

Liu Yiming got off the car in surprise, and Xu Hui walked up to him: "I didn't stop them. Surabaya has been too tense recently and needs to relax!"

Liu Yiming nodded, walked to the temporary high platform, and accepted the cheers of the people...

Liu Yiming raised his hands high, and the crowd gradually quieted down.

"We won!!" Just four short words, Liu Yiming shouted with all his strength!

"Won!" Everyone shouted, cheering for the victory.

"I plan to arrange a few days off." Xu Hui whispered to Liu Yiming.

"How is the production of military supplies?" Liu Yiming asked.

"It's completely sufficient. More than 40,000 mortar shells have been produced, and another 10,000 are on the way to the front. Rockets have been mass-produced for a week. The current daily production capacity is 150. 1,000 have been sent to the front, but the front has been advancing and the transportation capacity is insufficient." Xu Hui said.

"Then take a break for two days." Liu Yiming thought about it and agreed.

"Governor Pinak has given in." Xu Hui said.

Liu Yiming nodded and joined the cheering team again...

On the evening of December 1st, Liu Yiming came to the Government Affairs Hall, where Pinak had been waiting for a long time.

"Governor, have you thought about it?" Liu Yiming pulled out a chair and sat down and said.

"I can send a surrender order to Batavia, but I can't guarantee whether he will listen!" In a short period of time, Pinak's mental state became very bad.

"But I have a request. If you don't agree, I won't issue an order even if I die!" Pinak said.

"What request?" Liu Yiming didn't mind negotiating conditions.

"Provide all the captured Dutch with normal food and life, at least three loaves of bread, 500 grams of fish or meat, 200 grams of vegetables, and other necessities of life every day, free of charge!" Pinak stared at Liu Yiming fiercely and said.

Liu Yiming touched his nose, thought for a while and said: "This is impossible, this is better than what my soldiers eat, I can consider providing 300 grams of rice every day for free." Of course, it is brown rice.

Then there was a bargaining operation, pulling back and forth, and finally it was determined that Liu Yiming would provide the captured Dutch with 300 grams of rice and 50 grams of vegetables every day, and also provide affordable meat, as well as various daily necessities that do not exceed five times the market price.

"You win! You robber!" Pinak said panting.

"Who isn't?" Liu Yiming felt funny listening to it.

Pinak was choked: "This is different, we brought you civilization!"

"We have our own civilization, and we live well!" Liu Yiming also said angrily.

Pinak wanted to get angry, but he held back when he thought of the people in the Dutch concentration area who ate 200 grams of potatoes every day to survive.

"Don't be angry, what I did to you is much gentler than what you did to the Chinese..." Liu Yiming said.

He also wanted to order to completely eliminate the Dutch, but doing so would be very detrimental to his plan. Liu Yiming needed to use the West, and it was not the time to tear his face with the West.

"Write a letter quickly, Governor Pinak, before I change my mind." Liu Yiming also held back his anger and said.

Pinak quickly wrote the letter, stamped it with his seal, and returned to the settlement. Liu Yiming sent someone to deliver the letter to the front line.

He also sent a telegram to invite Charles to come to Surabaya again. This time, Liu Yiming said in the telegram that he hoped Charles would come as a British envoy.

After doing all this, it was already late at night, and Liu Yiming thought about going home to see how his little fiancée was doing.

Liu's family, the small courtyard where Zhang You lived.

"Look who's back!" Liu Yiming said jokingly while looking at Zhang You who was sitting in the yard.

Unexpectedly, Zhang You rushed up and hugged Liu Yiming directly, buried her head in Liu Yiming's arms, and kept sobbing.

"Okay, okay, I'm back." Liu Yiming said while touching Zhang You's head.

This 17-year-old girl would only be at the age of taking the college entrance examination in the future, but now, she has to bear a lot.

"Ahem!" Just as the two were brewing their feelings, a cough came.

Zhang You bounced away like a frightened little rabbit, then glanced at Liu Wanhua, said hello, and slipped back to the yard, and locked the door...

"Dad, you are really..." Liu Yiming needed to organize some words.

"You came just in time!" Finally, he sighed.

"Elbow, follow me into the house." Liu Wanhua snorted and asked Liu Yiming to follow...
