Lantao is located between Marchen and Aventay. It is an important base for the Dutch to advance and stores a large amount of supplies. However, for such an important place, the Dutch guard was not sufficient, leaving only one regiment of soldiers, and this regiment was not all Dutch. Only the officers were Dutch, and the lower-level soldiers were all local indigenous people. Faced with the sudden attack, these natives quickly broke up and ran away, and the Dutch officers could not stop shouting at all. Soon they found that they had also become the target of the attack, and suffered heavy casualties. These people could not bear it and ran away. The Dutch were defeated, and Li Zongren led his soldiers to easily occupy Lantao. Here were not only the Dutch army, but also more than 30,000 indigenous people. These animals did not have time to escape and became prisoners of the South China army. In addition to these guys, the various supplies are also quite amazing, including 20 cannons, 5,000 rifles, countless bullets and shells of various types, 2 million kilograms of grain, 2,000 tents, 2,000 war horses, and other items such as medicine, oil, clothing, There are so many cans that it¡¯s scary. After Li Zongren saw this, he was also overjoyed. The Nanhua Army was in a period of expansion. The more the better, just in time to speed up the expansion of the army. "Leave one regiment to guard Lantao, and the rest of the troops will follow me and rush north to encircle and annihilate Van Longer!" Li Zongren led the troops to press over, and the battle in Balabai also reached its most critical moment. The Dutch were like a tide, Constantly attacking the Nanhua Army's positions, terrible hand-to-hand combat was staged again. A soldier¡¯s bayonet plunged into the belly of the native cannon fodder, and when he pressed it hard, there was a big opening, and blood spurted out like an arrow. Kick away the body. A bayonet was picked up from the other side. The soldier hurriedly dodged back and slashed the blade against his chest. The skin and flesh were immediately cut open, and a blood line appeared. I don¡¯t care about the pain. The soldier suddenly thrust the bayonet into the chest of a Dutch officer. The Dutchman was quite strong and held the bayonet firmly with both hands, trying to block the forward momentum, but the soldier suddenly exerted force on his feet. He took two sudden steps, and the tip of the knife penetrated his flesh, piercing the guy's heart just in time, and his huge body fell to the ground. "Fire!" Seeing more and more soldiers falling down, Fan Longer's eyes were already red, and he didn't expect it. These people are so difficult to deal with. It usually takes three or five soldiers to defeat an opponent. If he continues to fight like this, his troops will be consumed before they reach Yaventai. Therefore, he also went crazy, and artillery fire continued to hit Nanhua. The casualties of soldiers skyrocketed, and their numbers increased. They didn't care about the casualties of the natives at all. They first drove the natives to fight. As soon as the two sides entered hand-to-hand combat, they immediately opened fire, killing both the natives and the Nanhua soldiers. Li Xun brought a total of 2,000 people. During the sniper battle, although it was hard, only more than 200 people died, but now the total number of casualties has exceeded half. There are less than 600 people who can stand and continue fighting, and the situation is already precarious. But facing the despicable style of the Dutch, Li Xun almost broke his steel teeth, but he had no better way and could only rely on blood. Rely on your life and try your best to hold on. "There's no need to be so arrogant, your unlucky time is not far away!" Li Xun cursed secretly. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the opponent's position, Fan Longer showed a triumphant expression: "Descendants of the sea coachmen, come on, show your courage and destroy these yellow-skinned monkeys!" Just as he was about to launch the final attack When the attack hit, suddenly his subordinates rushed to report: "Your Majesty Commander, something bad has happened. An army has captured Lantao and cut off our way back." "What!" Fan Longer heard this. , it was like being doused with cold water, and the high emotions disappeared in an instant. "What did you say, tell me again?" "Lantao has been lost, and we can't go back!" The soldier said almost in a tearful voice. "Assholes, damn yellow-skinned monkeys, you dare to play tricks, you will not end well." After hearing the news, the Dutch officers in the headquarters also looked at each other in fear. Now the situation was obvious. Nan Hua first attacked Yaventai, lured them to rescue, and then used a small force to block it. The main force then circled behind them. This was a clear intention to annihilate them all. "Commander, we must retreat. We can no longer control Yaventai, otherwise we will be in danger of being annihilated." Fan Longer turned around twice. He was not willing to retreat like this. Once he retreated, it would be equivalent to admitting defeat. , his reputation was completely ruined. "Give me an order in the direction of the waterway, let them move towards us as quickly as possible, and then concentrate all the main forces to break through the blockade."When the commander heard Fan Longer's order, he nodded. Perhaps this was also the last resort. He was about to arrange for someone to convey the order. But at this time, someone sent another telegram, and it was the troops traveling by water. When they were going north along the Barito River, they were halfway there. Suddenly, a large number of giant trees were inserted upside down in the river. The trees were densely packed, like rows of guards, sealing the river. The ship could not move at all. No. Just when they were trying to remove the wood, guerrillas on both sides kept firing at them. The troops' movement was seriously delayed, and they did not advance as planned. "They have been under attack since yesterday. After a day, they have removed about half of the wood and solved it all. There is still one day left." "Assholes, these sons of bitches, their advance was blocked, why didn't you report it immediately? "Why!" "Commander, they said the radio was broken and it was just repaired!" "Asshole, they are committing a crime. I want to sue them in a military court!" Van Rooner was furious, but he had no choice. It has been too long, Wen Tianwuxi has lost his fighting ability. "They can't catch them, but we can rush over." Van Longer said loudly: "Break through to the west, reach the Barito River as quickly as possible, and go south along the river." "Commander, there are already people on the other side of the river. "I'm afraid it will be very dangerous for the enemy." "It can't be worse than here. If there is no river, do you think we can easily withdraw?" The Dutch are also silent. Their north and south roads have been blocked. However, there is a dense rain forest to the east. Once you enter, you may never come out. The only way to survive is to the west. As long as you run to the Barito River and go south along the river, the two armies will meet up, and there may be a glimmer of hope. But just as the Dutch were preparing to break out to the west, Bai Chongxi had already led a force and inserted himself between the river and their main force. For this battle, Nanhua's troops had made careful arrangements. After Bai Chongxi's troops were in place, they immediately rushed eastward. At the same time, Zhang Honggang also led his troops to invade Yaventai and quickly eliminated the remnants of the Dutch. Then he led a regiment of soldiers to decisively go south to support Li Xun's troops. In this way, a three-way siege situation has emerged, and Fan Longer's main force has become a turtle in the urn. After more than a day of fighting, about one-third of the troops were annihilated, and the remaining troops surrendered. Nanhua's troops did not stop, and immediately went south, concentrating 15,000 main forces to attack Machen. The remaining Dutch troops stationed there were frightened. They only held on for three days, and the seaport fell into Nanhua's hands. . In this way, almost all the Dutch strongholds in Borneo were cleared. Xu Shuzheng immediately commanded the troops to raid separately and seize more territory. At this time, except for the British garrison, all other places in Borneo fell Under Nanhua's control. The third largest island in the world with more than 700,000 square kilometers, Nanhua has controlled more than 500,000 square kilometers. This area has greatly exceeded the Japanese archipelago. The former guerrillas finally have a capital to settle down and live. In this area, the number of Chinese is about 300,000, and there are more than 20,000 indigenous people. Although it is still sparsely populated, it already has a certain base of soldiers. There is no need to rely entirely on domestic blood transfusions, and the South China Federation also deserves its title. And with the success of the Yawentai War, Nanyang Chinese began to defect to this newly established country in large numbers, and the population and army were expanding rapidly. Of course, this war also profoundly changed the structure of Southeast Asia. The Dutch were able to occupy huge colonies because of the help of the British. Their own strength was almost negligible. Now that South China has been established, it is equivalent to giving the Netherlands this opportunity. The dilapidated house was kicked violently, causing it to collapse immediately. Anti-colonial struggles in other islands, large and small, developed rapidly, and they all demanded to be separated from Dutch control. In addition, the prestige of the British in Southeast Asia was also greatly frustrated. They wanted to help the Netherlands, but faced the strong intimidation of China, they did not dare to move. They just watched the establishment of the South China Federation, gritting their teeth, but there was nothing they could do. . Moreover, the British themselves had to face colonial counterattacks. India, Burma, Malaya and other places were in turmoil. If South China could establish an independent country, so would they. This demonstration effect is so obvious. The whole of Southeast Asia, South Asia, and even West Asia are experiencing unstable conditions. There are wars and wars, and the British are devastated. The good news reached Zhang Tinglan immediately, and he was even more overjoyed. Nanyang is a treasure trove of resources. How could Zhang Tinglan not be happy when he finally had the opportunity to swallow a piece of fat? People from all walks of life in the military and governmentThe members were very happy, and Jiang Baili took the initiative to find Zhang Tinglan. When they met, he smiled and said: "I would like to say that since Nanhua has established a country, I think we should take the initiative to recognize their status to boost morale and inspire people. " Zhang Tinglan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Baili, why are you so anxious? The problems in Nanyang are complicated. In fact, they not only involve the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, but the one that worries me the most is the United States. Let's not rush to admit it. But we can give them a fleet. Nanyang is an archipelago country and it is impossible to do it without a navy. "
