    The early morning sun shone on the land of Aventai. People from outside the city drove boats loaded with various vegetables and fruits to the market along the river to sell them.  On the river bank, soldiers walked by from time to time. Since the founding of South China, the situation in Aventai has become increasingly tense. If the Dutch did not also need to purchase daily necessities, they would even close the market.  "Charles, what do you think of that?" Charles followed the direction of his companion's fingers and saw a young woman sitting on a small boat. She was wearing floral clothes. Although her face was a little dark, she was very delicate.  Continuously bargain with others.  Several Dutch soldiers on patrol also saw it. The corners of Charles's lips raised slightly: "Bauer, I don't like these black-skinned natives. Being with them is like being with monkeys." "Haha, Charles,  According to Mr. Darwin's theory, we also come from monkeys. This little sister is pretty good. If you are not interested, she is ours. " "Who said you are not interested anymore? I just said it's time for us to show our animal side!  " Several Dutch soldiers came to the side of the girl's boat in a few steps. Bauer took the lead and jumped on the boat. When the natives who were bargaining saw the Dutch, they were frightened and fled away.  When the girl saw someone suddenly boarding her boat, she screamed loudly.  "Scream harder, little baby, you won't have the strength to scream in a while!" Bauer smiled triumphantly and grabbed the little girl's wrist.  Charles and the others were still on the shore, and they couldn't wait any longer: "Bauer, you stupid soul, bring the man to the shore quickly, don't let him have it alone." These Dutch soldiers robbed women in broad daylight.  The surrounding natives didn't show any expressions, they were used to this.  And they knew very well that the war was not far away, and they had to rely on these soldiers to resist the Chinese army, and no one would care about it.  They quickly returned to normal. The girl cried heartbreakingly, struggled hard, and the Dutchman laughed wildly, as if no one could hear them. They continued to trade.  But today's market ended earlier than usual.  Just as these people were driving the boats and gradually leaving, several speedboats suddenly appeared far away on the river. These speedboats rushed over quickly like arrows from the string.  The Dutch set up sentries along the coast.  When they saw several ships rushing towards them at an abnormal speed, they immediately felt something was wrong.  Be ready to fight back immediately.  But their actions were still too late.  There were machine guns at the front of these ships. After the bullets were swept over, the three sentries were immediately killed, and their bodies lay straight by the river.  The sound of gunfire broke the tranquility of Yaventai, and the soldiers responsible for peripheral security rushed over. The three speedboats had already formed a Z-shaped formation.  Three machine guns were aimed at the Dutch who were rushing over. Bullets were fired like a rainstorm, and a large area of ????the Dutch were immediately wiped out.  "Enemy attack!" The sirens rang throughout Aventay, and the Dutch immediately mobilized.  The soldiers hurriedly threw themselves into the fortifications.  Yawentai is different from domestic cities. It is just a group of dense settlements and a collection of handicraft workshops.  In order to cope with possible battles, the Dutch mobilized a large number of indigenous people and built three circular fortifications to surround Aventai.  At this time, a large number of soldiers appeared outside Yawentai, and they surrounded the city in the rain forest.  This time it was Zhang Honggang's troops who were tasked with attacking Yaventai. He concentrated twelve artillery pieces, aimed at Yaventai's outer fortifications, and carried out a fierce bombardment.  The cannonballs fell on the heads of the Dutch, and the god of death was reaping life. As soon as the cannon fell, several, or even a dozen, Dutchmen were blown to pieces.  Of course, the Dutch artillery also fought back. Their equipment was not bad, basically all German goods, and the two sides fought vigorously.  However, Zhang Honggang has never exerted his full strength. These colonial troops may be well equipped, but their fighting will is nothing.  "Compared to the elites in China who came out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they are not at the same level at all.  It would not be fun if he used too much force and directly beat the Dutch into surrender, so Zhang Honggang tried his best to control the rhythm of the war.  Nanhua¡¯s soldiers gradually formed a solid encirclement, and then used small groups of troops to continuously conduct short and powerful raids to clear the Dutch¡¯s outer positions.  When necessary, some indigenous cannon fodder will be organized to attack the Dutch and consume their firepower.  "These Dutch people didn't notice anything. They just found that the enemies fell in pieces, so they all stood firm.?The determination to fight, as long as we hold on, there may be hope of victory. Of course, the premise is that there are enough reinforcements.  At the beginning of the battle, the defenders of Yaventai immediately asked Ma Chen for help. After receiving the news, Ma Chen's Dutch garrison also mobilized immediately.  The commander-in-chief of the Dutch army, Lieutenant General Van Rooner, had just arrived in the Far East from Europe. As a proud white man, Van Rooner looked down on the natives of the Far East and the Chinese from the bottom of his heart.  In fact, many small countries in the world live as if they are in a paradise. China, for example, has defeated several powerful enemies in succession and gradually regained various sovereignty. The United States, Britain, France, Japan and other countries are all paying attention to the changes in the Far East, but the Netherlands  But people still turn a blind eye and hear nothing, as if the Far East and Africa are just like the Far East and Africa. As long as their troops pass by, the problem can be completely solved.  When Van Rooner left the Netherlands, he also boasted to all Dutch people that he would use resolute and decisive means to completely solve the Far East problem. No guerrillas would be an opponent of the Dutch army.  It is precisely because of this blind self-confidence that Van Longer immediately became furious after receiving the telegram asking for help.  "Damn Chinese people! You yellow-skinned monkeys are not worthy of getting involved in the land of Her Majesty the Queen of Arwentai. I want to teach you a lesson!" Fan Longer hurriedly summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures. Although the others were not like this  The commander was so fanatical, but everyone knew that Yaventai must not be lost, otherwise the Dutch would completely lose control of the interior of Borneo.  This is where rescue is necessary.  After some discussions, Fan Longer decisively ordered assistance.  According to his idea, the Dutch reinforcements were divided into two parts. Among them, he personally led the main force of 10,000 men north to aid Aventai.  The other route is along the Barito River, directly bypassing the rear of Aventai, attacking from the north and south, and jointly destroying Nanhua's army.  Fan Longer was quite proud of this plan. In his opinion, it was absolutely foolproof.  And in order to ensure the supply of supplies, he recruited a large number of ships.  One hundred thousand indigenous people were also employed. Xu Shuzheng and the others were already quite ruthless in their treatment of the indigenous people, but they were still much worse than the Dutch.  These old-fashioned colonists basically treated the natives as livestock.  And it's the kind of animal that doesn't need to pay for fodder.  The Dutch army moved north quickly, relying on the rapid attrition of the natives.  Their marching speed was astonishing.  After three days of rapid march, they were only twenty kilometers away from Aventai.  In the past few days, Yawentai's telegrams for help have come one after another. The Nanhua army's attacks have become more and more fierce, and they are already in danger.  "Gentlemen, the front is Balabai. As long as we take this place, the road to Yaventai will be opened. Let us work hard and teach those humble Chinese people a lesson and let them know who is the master here.  All of us will become the most successful conquerors in Dutch history!¡± After receiving the order, the Dutch army quickly moved towards Balabai, but they did not know that a big net had been deployed.  "Hurry up, follow up!" The Dutch officer kept shouting, and suddenly there was a bang at the feet of the soldier walking in the front, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke flashed past. Half of the soldier's leg had been blown off, and his bones were exposed.  Outside, the screams frightened the surrounding Dutch people.  "Rescue him quickly." Two soldiers rushed over and tried to pull the wounded over, but suddenly one soldier's feet also exploded, and his soles were blown away. The other soldier ran away in embarrassment.  Now the Dutch finally wake up, mine array!  Damn it!  The Dutch commander couldn't help but cursed. When the other soldiers saw their miserable companions, they immediately panicked. At this moment, several bullets were suddenly fired in the rain forest not far away, and the Dutch soldiers fell to the ground.  The accurate bullet holes on their foreheads told these Dutch people that the other side was a real elite, and they were all sharpshooters.  Now someone was finally scared. They either shot randomly in the direction of the rainforest, or fled in panic. As a result, this panic caused even greater trouble. Someone stepped on the landmine again, and the number of wounded became more and more serious.  The Dutch's advance was suddenly blocked.  Fan Longer was shocked when he received the report from his men. He did not expect that there would be mines blocking the road.  The Netherlands maintained neutrality during World War I and had not been tempered by the flames of war. They had no personal pain with the newly refurbished weapons. The Dutch army even lacked a specialized mine-sweeping force. How could they eliminate the threat of these mines?  Woolen cloth!  After thinking about it, Fan Longer's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Go and find those natives and let them go at the front!" "Si.Your Excellency, you can't do this!  The staff officer said in a horrified voice: "This is very humane, and we will be condemned!"  "No, the winner will never be condemned, and I can tell you that humanitarianism is only for people, not those two-legged beasts. Their only role now is to find the fastest way for us."  the way.  "The natives were expelled and rushed to the forefront. They became the minesweeper dogs of the Dutch army. After rushing into the mine array, there were constant explosions. The natives were blown to pieces and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.  , some even fainted from the pain. The Dutch followed them with machine guns. If they dared to take a step back, they would immediately shoot them with machine guns. After sacrificing hundreds of natives, the Dutch finally found a way.  Safe passage, they rushed towards Balabai on the road stained with blood. It was Li Xun's troops who were responsible for guarding Balabai. According to the plan, he led 2,000 people to guard Balabai and give Li Zongren peace.  Bai Chongxi's troops bought time to encircle the main force of the Dutch. After seeing the Dutch relying on the natives to break through the mine array, Li Xun secretly gritted his teeth. The real show had just begun when the Dutch launched their attack on them.  After the charge, flames suddenly rose from the two trenches in front of the position, and black smoke billowed. There was no shortage of oil in Borneo. Li Xun poured the black liquid into the trenches in advance, and now after lighting them, a natural barrier was formed.  The soldiers were blocked by a wall of fire. As a result, the machine guns and mortars here opened fire together, knocking the Dutchmen off their feet. Most of the soldiers in the front company were killed or injured in an instant. After receiving the report, Van Rooner was completely furious.  The opponent actually had so many tricks. He gritted his teeth and came up with his ultimate trick. He gathered 3,000 native cannon fodder and rushed to the front. The battle turned into a battle of flesh and steel.  It's also a bit pitiful. Nanhua used them as cannon fodder, especially the Dutch. It was no pity to use them. The fighting became more and more fierce. The bodies of the dead and wounded natives piled up in mountains, and the blood stained the earth. The battle between the two sides was already underway.  After about a day of fighting under the setting sun, the two sides were already furious. After consuming a large amount of indigenous cannon fodder, the Dutch concentrated their fire on Nanhua's positions. The casualties of the soldiers were increasing, and the pressure on Li Xun's shoulders was also increasing.  The bigger the enemy, the more terrible thing is that their ammunition has been almost exhausted. Every bullet must be used carefully. The soldiers took advantage of the break in the battle to wipe their bayonets. On the other hand, Fan.  Long Er also tried his best to rush into Nanhua's defense line. He had already received the news that more than one-third of the defenders inside Yaventai were on the verge of collapse at any time.  I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore. A bloody battle is going on here. A troop is moving quickly through the rainforest. These soldiers are not tall, but they are extremely flexible in the forest. In order to ensure the marching speed, they have given up all the disadvantages.  The only necessary equipment was Li Zongren. According to the plan, he would lead the troops back to the rear of the Dutch and launch a fatal blow in the rainforest for two days.  Everyone was soaked in mud and water and exhausted to the extreme, and more than twenty unlucky ones were bitten by venomous snakes.  Marching in the rainforest was definitely a torture, but fortunately they finally came out of the rainforest as scheduled.  "Commander, Lantao is ahead of us. As long as we capture this place, the Dutch will never be able to return to Machen!" the scout reported excitedly.  When Li Zongren heard the news, he immediately ignored his fatigue and said loudly: "Brothers, cheer up and rush into Lantao to surround and annihilate the Dutch!"
