Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Lanfang Republic accused Japan of increasing troops in Borneo as an act of aggression. The Japanese government claimed that the strength of the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army was unexpectedly strong. A single division could not maintain the safety of the vast number of Japanese expatriates. The large-scale increase of troops was still an act of protecting overseas Chinese.

    Furthermore, the Japanese government made the news of the annihilation of the 7th Regiment of the 9th Division public to the public, pointing out that a powerful army must be sent to eliminate the cruel and hateful Indonesian xenophobic forces in order to ensure the safety of expatriates from all over the world in Borneo.

    After this news was announced, Japan got its wish and received the support of a lot of public opinion.

    At the same time, Japanese Foreign Minister Komura Jutaro asked the Lanfang Republic government to exercise restraint and not to be hostile to the Japanese troops who came to help.

    The Japanese army will not take the initiative to launch an attack on the territory of the Lanfang Republic. However, if the Lanfang Republic dares to really send out its army to intervene at this critical moment, the powerful Japanese navy and army will never swallow their anger.

    Foreign Minister Komura Jutaro used both soft and hard tactics, which immediately left the diplomats of the Lanfang Republic speechless. They could only keep warning the Japanese army not to enter the territory of the Lanfang Republic. After the Indonesian anti-foreign forces were eliminated, the Japanese army would withdraw from Borneo.

    On December 23, 1908, the 17th Division of the Japanese Army, which had already been assembled, set off on a troop transport ship under the escort of the Navy¡¯s Second Fleet and headed for Pontianak.

    At the same time, the Japanese 3rd Division also began to gather.  On January 7, the Third Division, led by the division commander Lieutenant General Akira Watanabe, also left Japan on a troop transport ship for Pontianak

    At about 2 pm on December 26, 1908, 230 miles north of Pontianak in Borneo, outside Yongnan Town, the territory of the Lanfang Republic, many elite soldiers wearing green military uniforms came.

    After these soldiers set up camp in the shade of a hill outside the town, they were greeted by a group of similarly dressed soldiers.  The leader of the soldiers was Chen Hao, Chairman of the People's Liberation Party and Supreme Commander of the People's Liberation Army.

    In order to put pressure on the Japanese army, more than 70,000 people from the three mountain corps of the First Corps marched to the vicinity of Pontianak with great fanfare in the name of protecting the land from invasion.

    At the same time, the newly formed guard force of more than 20,000 people also followed in secret.  Chen Hao also ordered Zheng Tiehao, "Gun God" Ma Zhengyu and Xia Xingshuo to lead a special force of more than 3,000 people to secretly enter South Borneo and join the Chinese and Indian reorganized divisions to prepare for the Japanese 9th Division to launch another attack.  Give me a hard one.

    Chen Hao has been setting up the game for so long, and now he finally has the opportunity to beat Japan. Of course, he will not stay at the base camp.

    After handing over the responsibility of controlling the overall command to Lin Juemin again, Chen Hao personally led the Corps Headquarters of the First Corps to the Pontianak line.

    Along with Chen Hao, in addition to Huo Yuanjia and Huang Yunya, who had just married Chen Hao, there were also Xia Xingyu, deputy commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army and political commissar of the First Corps, Li Wei, commander of the First Corps, deputy political commissar and deputy commander "Sai"  "Ape" Tang Jianhai, Chief of Staff Ye Lisen and others.

    After everyone sat down, they drank tea and listened to the staff officer's report on the situation of the Japanese army.  Knowing that the Japanese 17th Division had already set off for Borneo and that the Japanese 3rd Division was already gathering and on standby, everyone was gearing up and talking a lot.

    Since it was not a military meeting, Lu Liwei, the newly appointed deputy commander of the Guard Army, took the lead and said: "Principal, so far, our army has not experienced a real war. After the three Japanese divisions have arrived, is it our turn?"  After a few battles, we will destroy these three divisions first to show the strength of our People's Liberation Army."

    Chen Hao smiled and said nothing.

    "Speed ??Ape" Tang Jianhai said: "Deputy Commander Lu, the principal has done so much work to attract more Japanese troops to eliminate the effective strength of the Japanese army. If the three divisions that came to Borneo were wiped out at once  Now, do other Japanese troops still dare to come to Borneo?"

    "That's true." Lu Liwei showed a disappointed look and sighed: "The Sino-Indian reorganizers are still enjoying themselves. After a few battles, they killed a Japanese regiment. Alas, even the Sino-Indian reorganizers without heavy weapons can easily do it.  They can wipe out a Japanese regiment. At this rate, they may even wipe out a Japanese division."

    After a pause, he saw that everyone, including Chen Hao, was listening to his opinion with open ears. Lu Liwei perked up and said loudly: "According to me, Lu Dadan, the Japanese army is nothing more than this. As long as the Japanese army is destroyed,  With the fleet, our People's Liberation Army can ride on warships, enter Tokyo, Japan, and go straight to Huanglong."

    "Alas" Li Wei, commander of the First Corps, sighed: "Deputy Commander Lu, what you said makes sense. Our People's Liberation Army has a very strong army. Unfortunately, our naval fleet is not even a shadow now. How can we destroy the Japanese fleet?"  ?

    Therefore, at this stage, we can only attract the Japanese army to come and destroy a few more of its divisions.  Wait until our own fleet returns from training in the United States in the futureAfter destroying the Japanese fleet, it will be easier to enter Japan.  "

    After listening to Lu Liwei and Chen Wei¡¯s words, the PLA officers talked one after another that even the partial divisions of the Sino-Indian reorganized divisions had defeated the main force of the Japanese army. So, if the main force of the People¡¯s Liberation Army takes action, it will definitely be difficult for Japan to resist.

    If the People's Liberation Army's navy is better than the Japanese army, with the People's Liberation Army's powerful army, it will definitely be able to gallop across Japan and capture the Japanese Emperor Meiji alive.

    Chen Hao couldn't stand listening anymore. Ever since the news came that the Chinese and Indian reorganized divisions had destroyed the Japanese 7th Regiment, the officers of the main force of the People's Liberation Army have been filled with a kind of pride and complacency, and a tendency to look down on the Japanese army. This attitude is very bad.  of.

    Chen Hao winked at Xia Xingyu, who had communicated with him. Xia Xingyu coughed and said loudly: "Everyone, you underestimate the Japanese army."

    Seeing Xia Xingyu speaking with a cold face, everyone became quiet.

    Xia Xingyu then laid out the facts and reasoned, pointing out that the reason why the Chinese and Indian reorganized divisions were able to defeat the Japanese army was mainly due to the tactics of bullying the few with numbers and sneak attacks.  Moreover, the Japanese army was neither familiar with the terrain nor its officers were careless, so they were defeated by the Chinese and Indian reorganized divisions.

    Even so, the casualties of the Chinese and Indian reorganized divisions were not lower than those of the Japanese army. This shows that the Japanese army's combat power is very powerful.

    Now that the Japanese army has learned a lesson, they will definitely deal with it seriously in the future.  If the officers of the People's Liberation Army are also arrogant and complacent and look down upon the enemy, they will inevitably suffer setbacks in the future.

    Then, Chen Hao also gave a lesson, pointing out that the Japanese army is the strongest army in Asia and must not be underestimated.  Moreover, for PLA officers, this is a rare training opportunity and they must be grasped.

    In fact, according to the battle report of the Chinese and Indian reorganizers, Chen Wei, "Saiyuan" Tang Jianhai and others also knew that the Japanese army was quite powerful.

    It was only when they saw that the Chinese and Indian reorganized divisions, which were far inferior to the main force of the People's Liberation Army and were not even equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns, defeated the Japanese army that they suddenly became proud and complacent.

    Now receiving the lessons and encouragement from Chen Hao and Xia Xingyu, Chen Wei, "Saiyuan" Tang Jianhai and others quickly expressed that they would correct their mentality. In the next battle, they would do their best to deal with the Japanese army and would never despise the Japanese army
