Not long ago, the Seventh Regiment of the Japanese Ninth Division "capsized in a ditch" and the entire army was wiped out, which has dealt a huge blow to the Japanese officers and soldiers.
Although the morale of the soldiers was boosted through propaganda, the Japanese army was in urgent need of a victory to prove themselves. If the 19th Regiment is completely wiped out again and the Imperial Japanese Army sweeps across Asia's invincible opponents, what dignity will it have to face the Chinese people?
How strong is the Indonesian anti-foreigner army? They paid a heavy price to annihilate the 7th Regiment of the 9th Division. Why did they regain their strength so quickly?
The daring and arrogant supreme commander of the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Forces, after planning to annihilate the 7th Regiment, unexpectedly planned to encircle and annihilate the 19th Regiment. Who is he?
¡°Isn¡¯t he afraid that his appetite will be too big and his belly will burst?
With these questions in mind, the Japanese commanders at all levels who were advancing towards Shentou Village on the road rushed into high gear and sternly urged their officers and soldiers to quickly advance towards Shentou Village.
General Kuroki Weizhen, who stayed at the Pontianak headquarters, heard the news and knew that his officers still underestimated the enemy and underestimated the strength of the Indonesian anti-foreign forces.
Considering that there will not be a war with Lanfang Republic for the time being, and the main force of the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army is in Shentou Village and nearby areas, Kuroki Weizhen communicated with General Nogi Nogi Nogi who was on the march, and ordered to stand by outside Pontianak City. The 10th Division sent two regiments to take transport ships to find a suitable port for landing in South Borneo. After landing, they went straight to the town of Khun Sa.
At the same time, Kuroki Weizhen ordered the 3rd Division and the 17th Division, which were advancing towards Shentou Village ig, to send out a regiment each, using guides who were familiar with the terrain, to take detours and take small roads to outflank the 19th Division. We must be fearless and fearless of death and rush to surround the Indonesian Anti-foreign Army all night long to achieve the goal of annihilating the Indonesian Anti-foreign Army.
At this time, the middle and senior commanders of the Japanese army all knew that the 19th Regiment was attacked and ravaged by the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army because they were careless and underestimated the enemy and advanced alone.
The news received by low-level officers and ordinary soldiers below the squadron leader of the Japanese army was that the 19th Regiment had detected that the main force of the Indonesian Anti-foreign Army was still there. In order to find out the main force of the Indonesian Anti-foreign Army, they took the risk to break in and were surrounded by the Indonesian Anti-foreign Army.
Now, the tens of thousands of main troops of the Indonesian anti-foreigner army have been firmly attracted by the 19th Regiment. Moreover, there are still more than 10,000 Indonesian anti-foreigner forces, the main force, blocking the important position of Shentou Village.
Although, at this time, the 19th Regiment was surrounded by Indonesian anti-foreign forces, and the situation was very dangerous. However, in order to create opportunities for friendly forces, the remaining 1,400 officers and soldiers of the 19th Regiment refused to break through.
Under the command of captain Jiro Kameda, they occupy a small village that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and are making every effort to resist the siege of an enemy force several times their own.
The 19th Regiment can hold on for at least a week. As long as the Japanese troops accelerate their march and rush to the area where the 19th Regiment is surrounded from all directions, there will be a chance to completely annihilate the main force of the Indonesian anti-foreigner army.
After receiving such news, the majority of low-level officers and ordinary soldiers of the Japanese army were greatly impressed by the "feat" of the 19th Regiment. They all howled and wanted to fight with the Indonesian anti-foreign forces and rushed towards the Shentou Village area like hungry wolves. passed.
Within just two days, all the Japanese troops took action one after another, marching quickly all night long.
"Reinforce the heroic 19th Regiment and annihilate the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army"
"Yo warriors of the Western Empire of Japan, speed up the march and annihilate the damn Indonesian anti-foreigner army"
"Warriors of the empire, join the army and finish this battle. South Borneo will belong to the Empire of Japan."
"What the Japanese Empire needs most is fertile land. After the Indonesian Anti-foreign Army is eliminated, the entire land in Indonesia will belong to the Japanese Empire. For the sake of the land, move forward."

Along the way, a large number of middle and low-level Japanese commanders on horseback ran back and forth, shouting all kinds of inspiring slogans, stimulating the morale of the Japanese soldiers and rushing forward.
Just after 1 p.m. on April 10, the Japanese 35th Regiment, led by commander Hiroshi Watanabe, rushed to the vicinity of Shentou Village and met with Colonel Asagoro Kobayashi, commander of the 9th Cavalry Regiment, who had arrived a day earlier. Convergence.
As soon as he saw Kobayashi Asagoro, Watanabe Hiroshi had a bad look on his face and couldn't wait to ask: "Kobayashi-kun, your cavalry unit arrived yesterday, why hasn't the way forward been opened yet?"
"Alas" Kobayashi Asagoro said with a smile on his faceHe sighed and whispered: "Watanabe-kun, you don't know something. The Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army has built strong blocking positions in and outside the village. It is extremely difficult to conquer in a short time"
Before Kobayashi Asagoro finished speaking, Watanabe Hiroshi yelled: "The 19th Baga Regiment is in danger and urgently needs rescue. Moreover, if you rush over, you can catch the main force of the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army. At this time, there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ??fire ahead. Kill it¡±
With that said, Watanabe Hiroshi ignored Asagoro Kobayashi and came to the hastily established wing headquarters. He ordered his several captains to organize troops, prepare mountain artillery, and launch an attack on Kamito Village in half an hour.
Kobayashi Sengoro, who had come with him, couldn't laugh or cry. He stepped forward to hold Watanabe Hiroki and led a group of cavalry from the 9th Cavalry Regiment to attack Shentou Village. They were attacked by enemy troops from the two mountains in front of Shentou Village. The story that led to the offensive failure was told to Watanabe Hiroki.
At the end of the sentence, Kobayashi Sengoro pulled Watanabe Hiroyuki out of the headquarters in pain, pointed at the two mountains in front of Kamito Village, and said sternly: "Watanabe-kun, as an officer who graduated from the Imperial 6th Military Academy , after listening to my words, you must have understood by now that if you want to capture Shentou Village, you must capture the commanding heights of Shentou Ridge."
Looking at the two mountains and highlands ahead, Watanabe Hiroshi nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice: "It seems that, like the 7th Regiment and the 19th Regiment, I made the mistake of underestimating the enemy.* *They didn¡¯t even care about such an important commanding height and just wanted to attack.¡±
"Before yesterday's disastrous defeat, I, like you, had the idea that the enemy's army was vulnerable." Kobayashi Asagoro said solemnly: "Watanabe-kun, over the years, the Empire of Japan has defeated powerful enemies one after another. Gradually, Became arrogant.
In fact, the Indonesian xenophobic forces we are facing are far more tenacious and cunning than the Russian Empire¡¯s army. At this moment, if you don¡¯t have enough energy, you and I will both fail here.¡±
Watanabe Hiroshi was greatly enlightened and said sternly: "Xiaolin-kun, I understand. From now on, you just have to look at me." f
