The journey starts from the Titanic

There are no Dutch who have tasted the power of South China planes. They are either dead or staying in a prisoner-of-war camp looking forward to the end of the war.

For the first large-scale cross-sea landing operation, some mistakes and omissions are inevitable, let alone this multi-arms cooperation?

However, the arrival of the South China Air Force caused the Dutch and Indian colonial forces to collapse across the Merak line: under the jets and bombings, the Dutch and Indian colonial artillery positions were severely damaged, and the beaches were no longer sealed off, and the continuous South China Army landed unharmed. The beach, along the breakthrough opened by the Marines, launched a more violent attack on the Dutch and Indian colonial forces.

"Mother! Should you come earlier?" Zhang Fakui looked at the plane flying towards the inland angrily, and muttered with a smile.Relax.

Lifting his head, the sun has completely risen, and the gunfire at Merak Beach has gradually died out.

More and more South China soldiers disembarked and walked on the bloody beach.Started the bloody Java road.

Jakarta, the official residence of the Dutch-Indian Governor, and also the headquarters of the Dutch-Indian colonial army, Colonel Van Basten's heart jumped out after receiving the landing attack from South China.

It happened so suddenly that the local reinforcements would arrive in more than a week, but the South China Army took advantage of the arrival of the Dutch reinforcements and launched a landing operation in the rainy season.

This was the last thing Colonel Van Basten wanted to see.But it did happen.

Now is the weakest time for the Dutch and Indian colonial forces. If the South China Army is allowed to land and the reinforcements do not arrive in time, then Jakarta may fall and the Kingdom of the Netherlands will lose its centuries-old heritage.

After receiving the alert, Colonel Van Basten did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the 3000 Dutch-Indian colonial troops stationed in Serang to reinforce Merak, and strictly ordered Merak’s defenders to persist at all costs until the reinforcements arrive.

At the same time, he also drew 10,000 people from Jakarta to reinforce Merak.The order has been issued, and the troops have begun to leave the city.

Must hold on, hold on!

He prayed silently in his heart.Pray for the Almighty God, it is best to have a big tsunami and kill all the yellow-skinned monkeys.

"Bang!" The door was knocked open, and a Dutch officer rushed in staggeringly, his face panicked, and his voice trembling: "The enemy has come ashore, they are here!"

"What?" Colonel Van Basten picked up the officer and asked, "Sirram's reinforcements, don't they?"

"Sirlen's army is gone too? They are dead too!" said the Dutch officer.

"Asshole! How come they are over? Can the South China Army not fly?" Colonel Van Basten said sharply.

In terms of time, the Dutch and Indian colonial forces in Serang should be on their way to Merak Beach.

"It's an airplane! They were bombarded by an enemy plane on the road. Then the vanguard of the South China Army followed suit and... annihilated them all. This is the last telegram from the commander."

The Dutch officer finally made it clear, and he looked at Colonel Van Basten with a look of horror.

"Asshole! Damn it!" Colonel Van Basten left the panicked Dutch officer on the ground in disgust. He looked back at the command post. The rest of the officers also lowered their heads, their eyes flickering.fear.

Colonel Van Basten sat down slumped, holding his forehead, his expression in pain.

Although he has worked very hard and arranged a lot of work, he is really helpless in the face of this mess.

There was a brief silence in the conference room, and the South China Army fell into the hearts of every Dutch officer like a shadow.

This is not the time to sigh. The South China Army is likely to come over by rail. They will be the soonest in the afternoon-Colonel Van Basten raised his head and was about to say something when he saw Governor Gullit standing at the door with a grim face.

"In any case, we have to hold Jakarta, hold on, and reinforcements will come soon. Maybe we can wipe out the enemy in Jakarta and regain the honor of the kingdom!"

Governor Gullit looked at the officers carefully, his face confident.

Yes, the most important thing now is to guard Jakarta. If the enemy cannot attack for a long time and local reinforcements appear behind them in time, the situation will be completely different!

Governor Gullit’s words ignited hope in the hearts of the officers, and Colonel Van Basten immediately agreed: "This is a life and death battle. We must show our spirit of desperation, otherwise the yellow-skinned monkeys will take us away. Everything: life, dignity, property, just like what they did on the outer islands."

"Dead battle!" The Dutch officer in the command station stood up and shouted, a bit brave. Governor Gullit and Colonel Van Basten glanced at each other, nodded knowingly, and turned their heads, but they were deeply helpless.

After the South China Army successfully landed, it was like a broken bamboo. After the two important towns of Merak and Serang were captured, they went straight to Jakarta.

Merak has a railway to Jakarta. The South China Marine Corps captured the railway station immediately, killed the Dutch who was about to destroy the railway, and seized the precious train in time.

There are many Java railway workers in the station. Under the temptation of Nanhua's gunpoint or money, they cooperated to start the train.

In fact, Javanese hate the Dutch even more, and they have long been grieving against the Dutch boss who exploited them.

"Quick! Keep up! Copy the Dutch's nest!" Zhang Fakui shouted from the locomotive.

He is commanding the Marine Corps to board the train, preparing to appear under Jakarta as fast as possible and catch the enemy by surprise.

Following behind the Marine Corps, the South China Second Division, this meritorious force fought all the way from Aceh to Palembang, with outstanding military service, known as the strongest division of the South China Army!

"Damn! You bastards move faster, the Marines are already ahead of us.

They have already opened the way for us, should they help us get Jakarta?"

Situ Yong stood on the Merak beach and shouted to the officers and soldiers of the Second Division who were getting off the boat.

He frowned, anxious.

The conditions in the small port of Merak are very easy to handle. It is enough for the soldiers to go ashore directly, but the heavy equipment of the Second Division is not so easy to go ashore from the sea.

At least those more than ten armored vehicles, more than 20 trucks, and more than 100 cannons have lasted three to five days, so I don't want to go ashore smoothly.

In addition, a large amount of supplies have to be moved ashore.

Fortunately, I have previously inspected the Merak terrain and trained an engineering unit from the Medan Construction Company, otherwise the efficiency will be slower.

In order to capture Jakarta, the Second Division was specially equipped with 30 105-caliber heavy artillery pieces, ready to blast the opponent to death with cannons.

Behind the South China Second Division is the Fourth Division. The Fourth Division will also land later, and along with the Second Division, they will head towards Jakarta along the railway from the west.

Then there are the Aceh Division and the Batak Division, who will take on important tasks in the next street fighting and security operations.

Finally, the second-line troops of South China, whose task is to guard Palembang and other big cities, will also participate in the security operations planned by the South China Army in Java after the defeat of Jakarta.

Time is the most precious thing. The South China Army has only a short period of one week and must lay down Jakarta before the arrival of the Dutch reinforcements.

"Report! The first brigade and regiment has successfully landed ashore." A South China officer quickly walked to Situ Yong.

"Okay! Order us to set off immediately! Go to Jakarta and copy the Dutch!" Situ Yong said excitedly, and led the first troops of the 2nd Division to Jakarta, while Chief of Staff Fozel stayed in Merak to organize follow-up troops to land.

Chapter 109-Jakarta

The situation in Jakarta is really bad. In the afternoon, the Marine Corps appeared under Jakarta by train and exchanged fire with the Dutch and Indian colonial army defenders.

The news that Merak was lost and the South China Army had taken the train was learned by the Dutch and Indian colonial forces. They were waiting in battle and were not successfully attacked by the Marines.

After a period of fierce fighting, the inferior Marines took the initiative to leave and retreated outside the city by night, waiting for reinforcements and monitoring Jakarta.

The rapid progress of the South China Army was far beyond the surprise of Colonel Van Basten, and it also surprised the defenders in Jakarta. They did not expect that in just one day, the South China Army would pounce under their noses from Sumatra.

Fortunately, the number of the vanguard of the South China Army was not large, and they were not equipped with heavy weapons. They were eventually driven outside the city, letting the Dutch and Indian Governor's Mansion breathe a sigh of relief.

But this was only temporary. Thinking of the reinforcements from the South China Army rushing over, the Dutch had a tingling scalp.
