The journey starts from the Titanic

The Dutch understand that no matter whether they can keep the island of Java, Nanhua is a strong person to them, not a target they can bully at will.

At least for the more than 20,000 prisoners of the Dutch and Indian colonial forces, they couldn't remain indifferent.

Of course, the Dutch will also seek help from relatives, the British.The Queen of Holland's face is not small, and her tears are valuable, which impressed her old relatives, the British.

Soon after, the British funding to the Dutch also accelerated, and even their attitude towards the lease or sale of warships was greatly relaxed.

But everything is too late.

The next day, half of the main force of the Second Division of the South China Army rushed to the city of Jakarta and began tentative shelling of Jakarta.

On the third day, the South China Army’s 2nd Division, with a total of 15,000 people, and a brigade of the 4th Division, with a total of 20,000 people, launched a full-scale attack on Jakarta under the command of Situ Yong.

The first to be dispatched was the South China Air Force. They established a forward base in the city of Serang behind the South China Army, which greatly shortened the flight distance and no longer needed to fly over from Sumatra.

The number of South China aircraft participating in the Jakarta operation reached 70, and almost all aircraft of the South China Army were concentrated. Since the first day of landing in Java, South China’s aircraft have been circling the city of Jakarta without stopping.

A lot of leaflets were sprinkled, and then there were artillery shells. The roaring shells made the people in the city frightened.

The Jakarta Governor’s House, Parliament, and military barracks have become the main targets of South China’s aircraft bombing. The ravages of South China’s aircraft are frightening and people are afraid to stay in the city. Except for the army, the Dutch who have the conditions fled to the port and left by boat without conditions. So he hid in the country.

With the increasing number of South China troops in Jakarta, the rest of the South China Fourth Division, Aceh Division, and Batak Division also rushed to Jakarta and surrounded the city.

Chapter 110

The Second South China Army captured the Jakarta port fort by land, and then South China's warships blatantly appeared in Jakarta port.

A large amount of materials can be directly landed in Jakarta Port and delivered directly to the front line.

Jakarta’s external communication channel was cut off by the South China Army. They crushed more than 10,000 restless Dutch and Indian colonial forces and retracted into the city, waiting for the final judgment.

After several offensives were repelled by the South China Army, the Dutch and Indian colonial forces no longer wasted their troops, and huddled in the city, using the terrain to deal with the South China Army.

The fall of Jakarta Port caused great shock in Southeast Asia. British and American warships rushed out of Jakarta Port, with complex eyes watching the South China Army continuously land from the port and then joined the attack on Jakarta City.

The South China Army moved too fast, and the British warships intentionally blocked them, but neither London nor Singapore clearly instructed them to directly join the war between South China and the Netherlands.

After hesitating, one can only accept the reality of the siege of Jakarta by a hundred thousand troops of the South China Army.

The 3rd South China Division was another ambush, targeting the port city of Semarang in Central Java.

When everyone was attracted by the situation in Jakarta, a troop carrier deliberately drawn by the South China Army set sail from Palembang and inserted into Java Island like a sharp sword to cut off the connection between East and West Java.

They succeeded.

Prior to this, the Dutch had repeatedly deployed Semarang’s troops for the Sumatra operations and siege of Jakarta, resulting in the weakness of Semarang’s troops.

After the sudden attack, the local defenders were quickly defeated and became the first big city on the island of Java to fall.

However, Jakarta, which is hard to protect on its own, is nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, the South China Fifth and Sixth Divisions, which had been preparing for a long time, set out from Machen Port in Borneo under the command of Zhang Chengdong and successfully landed in Surabaya, a large city in East Java across the sea.

Surabaya has been devastated by war not long ago. After the war, the Dutch massacred a large number of Javanese independence elements, resulting in a massive decrease in the population of Surabaya and the destruction of fortifications.

In the face of the superior South China Army, apart from a few Dutch officers fighting vigorously, the Javanese soldiers in the army fought passively, so Surabaya also fell into the hands of the South China Army.

After the fall of Semarang and Surabaya, the two main forces of the South China Army joined forces to connect Central and East Java. Most of the foundation of the Dutch rule on Java was gone.

The Dutch and Indian colonial forces could use the strong city of Jakarta to resist for a period of time, but Semarang and Surabaya were captured at the same time, which caused a great shock to the hearts of the Dutch who stubbornly nestled in Jakarta.

The Javanese soldiers recruited by the Dutch from the countryside began to lose control. The low-level Javanese officers knew that the Dutch could no longer be trusted. They were unwilling to bury with the Dutch and began to contact the South China Army.

Some of the more courageous Javanese soldiers walked directly to the positions of the South China Army and surrendered.

He Wenxiu rushed to Jakarta with a group of young staff from Medan and took over the war in Jakarta.

In order to buy time, the South China Army pacified the surrendered Javanese soldiers and lured more Javanese soldiers to surrender anyway.

For Javanese officers, the South China Army also promised to ensure that they will not harm their personal interests. If they can join the fight against the Dutch, South China will give them even greater benefits.

This has triggered some adventurous Javanese officers like Nanhua and become a glorious puppet army.

He Wenxiu felt a little unhappy, but he knew that Nanhua needed a batch of Javanese puppet troops.

How to deal with Javanese, that is the future.

After leaving some of the Javanese officers and soldiers, the Dutch and Indian colonial forces remaining in Jakarta are more pure, the proportion of Dutch is higher, and the combat effectiveness has also improved a lot, at least these people are not easy to surrender.

In the South China Army front-line command, He Wenxiu arranged the final blow to the Dutch.

"...It doesn't matter if Jakarta is razed to the ground, we can build it again.

This battle must show our blood!Must be ruthless!Blast hard, hit hard, kill hard!"He Wenxiu said murderously.

He waited for this day for too long, and the Dutch's stubborn resistance just gave him an excellent opportunity.

He not only wants to teach the Dutch a bitter lesson, but also a shock to the Javanese, Sundanese and other Tu people!

This is the battle of Liwei!

"Yes! They must die without a place to bury them!" Situ Yong also said fiercely.

The offensive excluding casualties in the past few days has been fruitful, but his second division also paid nearly 4,000 casualties, filling his heart with murderous intent.

This murderous aura also filled the minds of all soldiers in South China, because there have been nearly 10,000 casualties, and they have never suffered such a large casualty from Sumatra all the way south.

If there is more time, their casualties will be much less.

However, rushing to capture Jakarta before the arrival of the Dutch reinforcements, the South China Army only had to spend lives for time.

In just a few days, the city of Jakarta became dilapidated. Walking on the street, you can see large and small craters everywhere, traces of burning on the ruined walls, and a corpse under the collapsed city wall, including Chinese, Dutch, Javanese, Sundanese.After each battle, the soldiers from both sides cleaned the battlefield tacitly and collected the remains of their respective soldiers.

Under the smoke of gunpowder, there are the suppressed fear, despair and madness of the Dutch.

The former magnificent Governor's Mansion was bombed by South China planes. It happened suddenly. The staff of the Governor's Mansion were still working, and when death fell on them, they were still at a loss.

After several bombings, the Governor's Mansion was almost considered flat, and a large number of officials, entourages, and servants of the Governor's Mansion were killed.

Governor Gullit escaped, but his face was scratched by a fragment, and his face was covered with thick white gauze.

He sat in a secret house with a sullen face, looking at the dejected Dutch officers in the house.

At this point in the battle, these Dutch soldiers have done their best to do their utmost. The only thing that makes them unwilling is that.

The local reinforcements have arrived in the Bay of Bengal. If everything goes well, they can enter the Strait of Malacca tomorrow, land in Medan or appear under Jakarta the day after.

However, the remnants of Jakarta may not be able to wait for local reinforcements.
