The Semarang reinforcements fighting in Vidalon couldn't sit still anymore. They fought bloody battles here, but their old nest was broken by others. How could this not make them panic.The red-haired reinforcements who besieged Zhang Yunfeng's department no longer wanted to fight, and they quickly withdrew from Vidalun and retreated towards Semarang.The red-haired army stationed in Vidalon knew that it was difficult to resist, so they had to withdraw with the reinforcements and moved closer to Semarang in an attempt to regain the lost ground.

Chapter 271 Annihilating the Enemy Weng Alan

Zhang Yunfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have well-trained soldiers under his command. Relying on the mob of more than 3000 native soldiers alone, it was already the limit for him to be able to support for such a long time.After the red-haired army withdrew, Zhang Yunfeng got in touch with Liu Bozhao by radio, and both sides agreed that now is a good opportunity to develop themselves.Liu Bozhao thought he could hold on to Semarang, and he hoped to use himself as a bait to hold on to Semarang to attract the red-haired people's attention, while Zhang Yunfeng took advantage of this air strike to expand his turf.

Now Zhang Yunfeng is able to control the large area between Vidalun and Anzhu. In this rice-rich area, hundreds of thousands of indigenous people have surrendered to him.With so many people, Zhang Yunfeng trained the new army, and at the same time developed his power in two directions, Solo City and Blitar, slowly occupying the territories of the aboriginals.

Zhang Yunfeng publicly erected the banner of the East Zhaini Self-Defense Army to recruit troops, and at the same time declared that as long as he joins his army, all ethnic groups will be equally allocated land and live a comfortable life without oppression and tax payment.Zhang Yunfeng's call was very attractive, and many people chose to support him because of this, and the power of the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Force began to expand rapidly.

Soon Zhang Yunfeng also had more than 3 indigenous soldiers in his hands. During the training, he found that the indigenous soldiers were really unusable, but if someone took the lead, their combat effectiveness would rise sharply.Therefore, Zhang Yunfeng also used native Hualan as officers to establish the Second Army of the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Army, while Liu Bozhao's troops were organized into the First Army. It is a pity that Zhang Yunfeng lacked weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the Second Army was stronger than that of the first. The army is worse.

At the same time, more and more red-haired troops were gathering in the direction of Semarang, among which the number of red-haired soldiers alone reached more than 1000, which was unimaginable for the red-haired people with very few troops.In addition to the red-haired soldiers, there are nearly [-] native soldiers who are gathering. If such a large army gathers together, it will be a disaster for Liu Bozhao.

The best defense is offense. Instead of passive defense, take the initiative to attack and take the initiative of the war into your own hands.Liu Bozhao decided to lead a large force to take the initiative to attack, and first attacked the Semarang reinforcements that had just been withdrawn from Vidalun.

These Semarang reinforcements have been exhausted after more than ten days of continuous fighting in Vidalun.This time, the soldiers marched so far without a rest, and the soldiers were really worried about their physical strength and energy.What's more, this team has the smallest number of people, and it is the weakest one among the various reinforcements.

Tens of kilometers south of Semarang, there is a small town called Weng Alan.It is said to be a small town, but it is actually a bit inferior to other domestic villages.The low and dilapidated houses are all made of bamboo and wood, and the mixed lifestyle of humans and animals makes people who enter the village soon smell a foul smell.This smell has been around the village for years, as if it was born with it.

Fortunately, the aborigines have long been used to this smell, and they will not have any objections to it. As for the red-haired soldiers, they will not enter the village to rest. They only sleep in tents outside the town.The red-haired army that had withdrawn from Vedalon had just arrived here at noon, and their commander immediately ordered to rest on the spot.

Weng Alan is already the nearest town to Semarang. The reason why they gather and rest here is because the continuous battles and marches have made everyone exhausted.If they don't take a rest to recover their strength, I am afraid that these people will not have the strength to fight when they arrive in Semarang.

The extremely sleepy red-haired soldiers set up the camp and fell asleep in the tent. They were so tired that they didn't even want to eat.The aboriginal soldiers were not much better, they barely ate some dry food, and hid in the houses of each family to sleep. As for the aborigines in the town, men, women and children were all driven out.The house was forcibly occupied, and the residents had to sit under the trees by the roadside.

The red-haired army had already fallen asleep. They were so sleepy that they didn't even let out the sentries.At this moment, the attack force led by Liu Bozhao was several kilometers away from the town, and many scouts were active nearby, closely watching the red-haired man's every move.

The news that the red-haired army was lax in defense and all lay down to sleep quickly reached Liu Bozhao's ears.Naturally, Liu Bozhao would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.He immediately ordered the whole army to attack, and everyone was not allowed to make a sound, but quietly surrounded Weng Alan, trying not to disturb the opponent.

A platoon composed entirely of Hualan soldiers walked in the forefront. They walked through the rainforest and soon approached Weng Alan's town.The red-haired man's tent was stationed outside the town near the rainforest, and the Hualan soldiers were not polite.They sneaked over, cut open the tent with their daggers, and wiped their necks with their daggers before the red-haired soldier woke up.

Eliminate all the red-haired men, and the native soldiers in the village will be easy to deal with.Liu Bozhao led people to quickly surround Weng Alan, and then the native soldiers rushed into the town with guns in hand, and began to search for the enemy from house to house.Seeing a large number of people with guns rushing into the village, the townspeople who were resting by the road suddenly panicked, and they all screamed.

The loud noises outside the house startled the native soldiers, and they quickly picked up their weapons and ran out of the house, and a close hand-to-hand combat ensued.The native soldiers controlled by the red-haired army lost their command, and the hasty response to the battle itself suffered a big loss.On the other hand, the native soldiers under Liu Bozhao waited for work at ease, and they launched attacks in a planned manner, and their efficiency was very high.

The slashing ended quickly, and since most of the native soldiers surrendered, the battle was not bloody, only a few were killed, and the rest were locked up.The red-haired man never expected that when many armies gathered, the Hualan armed forces would dare to take the initiative to attack, and suffered a big loss because of it.

Liu Bozhao easily won the victory and wiped out the reinforcements that Vidalun had withdrawn. Such a clean and neat annihilation battle frightened the red-haired reinforcements from all walks of life.Hearing that the opponent was so powerful, the red-haired army slowed down their progress, hoping to check the situation first before dispatching.

The army hesitated, and the task of counterattack naturally fell on the navy.Soon, led by the cruiser Tromp with a displacement of more than 3000 tons, three small destroyers covered two [-]-ton merchant ships temporarily recruited as troop carriers, and rushed towards Semarang aggressively.

Relying on its own speed, a small destroyer as a front destroyer rushed towards the harbor at extreme speed in an attempt to carry out a reconnaissance mission.It's a pity that it didn't see the iron cables hidden under the water surface. With a loud bang, the destroyer was stopped by the iron cables, and the bow was severely damaged and began to flood.What's more terrible is that the destroyer was stuck on the iron chain, and it was very difficult to retreat even if it wanted to.

Chapter 272

The destroyer tried several times, but still couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the chain.As soon as the time was delayed, the guarding soldiers who had already prepared climbed up to the fort, and adjusted the artillery to aim at the destroyer.Soon dozens of 120mm and 150mm guns with smaller calibers opened fire one after another, and a huge water column began to loom around the destroyer. In desperation, the captain had no choice but to announce the abandonment of the ship.

Just after arriving and before the war started, our own side lost one ship first, which made the fleet commander extremely annoyed.But it's useless to be annoyed. Now that the other party blocks the main channel with iron chains, they can't get in at all.The Tromp began to bombard the iron chain position of the main channel with a 150mm main gun. Fortunately, it was far enough away that it would not be attacked by artillery from the shore while bombarding the iron lock.

I don't know what kind of shit luck the Tromp had. After half an hour of shelling, it accidentally hit the iron chain and disconnected it.After using small boats for reconnaissance, the Red-haired Navy determined that the main channel was clear.The remaining two red-haired destroyers drove towards the harbor at full speed, hoping to open the passage for the troop carrier.

Although the two sunken gunboats were fished out and repaired, Zhang Yunfeng couldn't gather enough sailors to use these weapons for a while, so they can only rest on the berth without any effect.There are no personnel and supplies on the pier, and the destroyer seems to be useless after rushing in.They wanted to sink the two gunboats to get a head start, but the small-caliber artillery on the fort kept firing shells at them, and the dense rain of bullets forced the destroyer to retreat again.

Seeing that it was very difficult to enter the harbor, the Red-haired Navy ordered the troops on the merchant ships to land on the nearby beach, intending to go around to Semarang and launch a surprise attack. Unfortunately, their every move was always in Liu Bozhao's sight, and the opponent's landing site was very fast. learned by him.

The First Army of the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Army immediately dispatched two regiments to surround the red-haired man's landing point.The soldiers of the First Army had only conducted temporary training in the past few days. They had just learned how to fire guns and hadn't even learned the basic tactical movements. Naturally, they couldn't be silent in their actions.

The native soldiers quickly surrounded them, but the red-haired man was already alarmed when he was still a few miles away from the beach.While speeding up their landing speed, they established a front line relying on the high ground near the beach to prevent the attack of the Self-Defense Forces.

The self-defense troops of the two regiments lacked technical and tactical training, but their courage was commendable.Although the red-haired men had already occupied a strong terrain, they still charged wave after wave, trying to capture the high ground and drive the red-haired men who landed on the beach into the sea.

The self-defense army has no heavy weapons, and the two regiments only have four Madsen light machine guns and two 57mm mountain guns. Compared with the red-haired army, their firepower is very weak.Although there were only two battalions of the red-haired army that landed, they were able to rely on the Mark heavy machine gun to firmly hold the not dangerous high ground.Soon the cruisers and destroyers of the red-haired people also slowly moved closer to the shore, using naval guns to form fire support for the red-haired army, and the self-defense army's offensive became even more unbearable.

The caliber of the main gun of the cruiser Tromp is only 150mm. This kind of artillery is just a small iron pipe for the navy, but it is already a rare heavy artillery for the army.Under the attack of Tromp's main guns, the Self-Defense Forces had to retreat across the board, retreating beyond the range of the naval guns.The two regiment leaders counted and found that in this battle alone, the self-defense forces of the two regiments had more than 300 casualties, which can be called a heavy loss, and they had to retreat to the city.

Liu Bozhao knew that his side lacked heavy firepower. If he wanted to repel the opponent's attack, he could only rely on the forts in the city. Therefore, he no longer sent troops to take the initiative to attack, but strengthened Semarang's defense and waited for the opponent to attack.The red-haired men had only two battalions of troops, and they did not dare to launch an attack on Semarang, nor even dare to leave the beachhead, so the two sides stalemate there.

Such a situation is not good for Liu Bozhao, and now there are three groups of red-haired reinforcements all staring at the periphery.Once the two sides are in a stalemate for a long time, these reinforcements who have been stagnant will have the courage to jointly besiege Semarang, and their situation will be even more dangerous by then.

Liu Bozhao knew the stakes, so while asking Zhang Yunfeng for help, he began to mobilize troops.Liu Bozhao planned to fight another battle of annihilation near Semarang, destroying one of the reinforcements along the way, and at the same time give the reinforcements at sea the impression that Semarang is empty.At sea, Liu Bozhao can't touch and touch. Only by luring the other party close to the shore can he have the hope of victory, so he does not hesitate to take a risk.

Among the three indigenous infantry divisions, the first division was the best equipped. They immediately dispatched secretly and headed towards Bellik.Belik is the central node of the entire Java Island, where roads extend in all directions.As long as you occupy this place, you can quickly seize various strategic points in Central Java. It is a place where you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend.

As the red-haired colonial government deployed a large number of troops to prepare for the siege of Semarang, there were many military vacuums on the island, and Belik was one of them.The troops sent by Liu Bozhao arrived here very quickly, and the second army led by Zhang Yunfeng also arrived here almost at the same time.Now there are only more than 1000 Javanese native soldiers here, and they are completely vulnerable. They raised their hands and surrendered after just a charge.

After telegram communication, the first division under Liu Bozhao was temporarily handed over to Zhang Yunfeng's command, and he would concentrate his forces to attack northward to attack the real target agreed by the two of them, Beijialongan.

Pekalongan is an ancient seaport on the north coast of Central Java, and it was extremely prosperous hundreds of years ago.Since the arrival of the red-haired people, the ports of Batavia, Semarang, and Surabaya, which are deeper and wider, have become more and more prosperous because they can dock large ships, which has left this ancient seaport in the cold.

Originally, Pekalangan had become an unknown small fishing port, but because of the recent actions of the red-haired people, it became lively again.Since the red-haired army landed on the coast near Semarang, they began to increase their strength desperately.Many red-haired soldiers and native soldiers were transported from Batavia to expand and consolidate the landing field and advance to the inland area.

With so many people participating in the battle, logistical supplies are a big problem, especially the more and more expensive guns and ammunition.If it is not replenished in time, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly weakened.In this case, finding a nearby port for material transfer has become a top priority.

As the port closest to Semarang, Pekalongan has naturally become the first choice of the red-haired people, so this ancient port has been used again.A large number of materials transported from Batavia were transported here by sea ships, and then transported to the landing site in batches by various small ships to support the attack of the army.

Chapter 273 The Red-haired Man's Vital Point

Today's Pekalongan is the lifeblood of the red-haired people. Once it is lost, the largest force attacking Semarang will lose its foundation.For this reason, the red-haired people attached great importance to the defense here, not only leaving four gunboats to participate in the defense, but also stationed thousands of soldiers here.

Although most of these soldiers are indigenous soldiers, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.It turns out that there are not only lazy Javanese people on Java Island, but also peace-loving Sundanese people and brave Madura people.

Most of the Madura people live on Madura Island, and a few are distributed in the northeast of Java Island.This nation has a unique national culture of bullfighting and bull racing, and their martial arts are very strong.The red-haired colonists used the locals to massacre the Hualan people all the time, in fact, they were all masterpieces of the Madura people.

After discovering the martial arts of the Madura people, the red-haired people armed them as their most powerful servants.If it weren't for the shortage of Maduras, the red-haired people would have replaced all the indigenous troops with Maduras.

It was precisely because the red-haired people attached great importance to this attack that they transferred all of Batavia's trump card servants over.At this time, there are thousands of Madura soldiers defending Pekalongan, and the red-haired man is still very relieved.

Zhang Yunfeng observed the terrain of Pekalongan with a telescope. This is a small seaport surrounded by mountains. On the surrounding hills, you can see solid fortifications that have been built everywhere, as well as Madura soldiers who are on guard.

In the small town with an area of ​​only a dozen square kilometers near the harbor, a large number of temporary warehouses have now been built, and the nearby docks are extremely busy, and many ships for material transfer come in and out, transporting the goods to the front line in batches.

The inner and outer defenses of the town are tightly guarded and difficult to attack. If you want to enter the town, you must gnaw away those strongholds from the outside bit by bit, and take all the nearby hills to make it possible. The fortifications in the town were covered by crossfire, such casualties were beyond his ability to bear.

Such an offensive method will inevitably delay a lot of time, and the ships near the port may take the opportunity to evacuate.It is known from the telegram that more and more red-haired troops landed, and their support led to the activation of the other two reinforcements.These troops are gradually compressing the outlying positions in Semarang, putting great pressure on Liu Bozhao.

It is necessary to occupy this place as soon as possible, and kill as many enemies as possible to destroy its fleet, so that the red-haired army can lose supplies.Otherwise, the red-haired man can change to a small port to continue the transshipment, so this task must be completed.Zhang Yunfeng made up his mind, and began to think about how to make good use of the superior force in his hand to eliminate the red-haired man's vital forces as much as possible.

For the logistical supply of this attack, the red-haired people mobilized almost all the red-haired ships in the East Indies to transport supplies, and even the ships that transported spices to the mainland were conscripted, which shows that Governor Anthony attaches great importance to it.Now these ships are divided into two teams, the big ship transports supplies from Batavia to Pekalongan, and the small boats transfer the supplies hoarded in Pekalongan to the front line day and night.Even at night, the port area of ​​Pekalongan is still brightly lit, and many aborigines were escorted to move things to the boat.The red-haired people didn't care about their life or death at all. These native laborers could only lie on the ground to catch their breath when the ships entered the port.

The pier was busy, but no one saw that the dark sea seemed not as calm as imagined.Between the breeze and the waves, many moving black spots are slowly approaching.If someone could see it clearly, he would definitely think it was a school of fish migrating or a dolphin passing by, but in fact it was Zhang Yunfeng's carefully selected commando.

As the commander of the commando this time, Liu Yuan led more than 20 commandos to cruise near the main channel.These people are all good swimmers selected from the East Zhaini Self-Defense Force, and their technical and tactical level is relatively high, which is considered outstanding for those recruits.

This important combat mission was handed over to Liu Yuan, which made him feel inexplicably excited.Ever since he was a child, he was used to the ugly faces of the red-haired people and the natives, and the oppression of the Chinese. He always dreamed that he could drive out the Tartars like Yue Fei and defend the interests of the Hualan people.

The last time Liu Bozhao temporarily arrested a strong man to deceive the indigenous people, his heart was full of excitement, and then unexpectedly joined the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Force.Liu Yuan cherishes this opportunity very much. After entering the army, he trained hard and changed the temper of the young master in his family.Moreover, he once studied in a private school and was able to read and write. Liu Yuan was soon promoted to the position of head of the regiment.

Liu Bozhao attaches great importance to this hard-working young man with the same surname as himself.For this attack on Beijialangan, Liu Yuan followed the first division to reinforce Zhang Yunfeng's second army, and he wanted to hit the red-haired man severely.Before this battle, Zhang Yunfeng had just proposed this difficult task, and Liu Yuan volunteered.Facing this team leader with outstanding skills and tactics, Zhang Yunfeng trusted him with the task.Soaking in the icy sea water at this time, Liu Yuan was holding onto the big log with several people and swimming towards the entrance of the main channel of the port of Pekalangan.
