Chapter 134 Attack on Medan (Part 1)(1/2)

On the night of June 10th, a special fleet was preparing to pass through Malacca.

As soon as we approached the entrance, we were discovered by the British. After all, there were not many ships passing through at night, so it was still very attractive.

"The Kent was dispatched to stop them," the naval officer on duty said.

"Isn't it a merchant ship?" the deputy said as he signaled the orderer to convey the order.

"No need, it's the Nanhua people. They are going to attack Medan." Suddenly, a voice interrupted.

"Dear Mr. Governor! Good evening." The officer stood up and said.

"Let them pass, hum..." The governor did not answer, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

The fleet passed Singapore without any trouble and entered the Malacca Channel. Everything seemed to be developing according to plan.

There are still three hours until the fleet reaches its destination.

In Surabaya, Cyril approached Liu Yiming.

"Mr. Prime Minister, according to the agreement, your army should not send its main force to Sumatra." Cyril said.

"Mr. Ansin Cyril, only 5,000 people have passed, and there are still more than 40,000 people on Java Island. Moreover, I am not trying to recapture Sumatra, I am just causing a little trouble for the Dutch." Liu Yiming said.

"Listen, Liu, London is considering the possibility of Japan replacing Nanhua, do you understand?" Cyril's expression changed and he said.

"Cyril, do you know how far it is from the Sea of ​​Japan to Nanyang?" Liu Yiming smiled indifferently.

"France can afford such a war of attrition, but Japan cannot. If the war lasts for half a year, the Japanese will have to sell their blood. If it lasts for one year, they will go bankrupt." Liu Yiming said.

"Liu, the British Empire and Nanhua have an agreement. The British Empire supports you. You must aim your bayonet at the French instead of wasting British pounds!" Cyril said with a straight face again.

"Yes, I remember that the British Empire promised to support me, Nanhua, to gain the Dutch's status in Southeast Asia. What now?" Liu Yiming said.

"Are you questioning the decisions of the British Empire?" Cyril said.

"No, not really. I understand the British Empire's approach, but shouldn't you consider my feelings a little bit?"

"In order to fight against the Japanese expansion, the South China Association established three new divisions."

"They will all be used in the battle for Kalimantan. The South China Third Division will withdraw from Brunei, passing through the Sarawak colony in the middle. I hope the British and Indian troops will open a hole for me to retreat," Liu Yiming said.

Cyril was a little happy when he heard about the newly formed army, thinking that this man had finally given in. But when he heard that the people behind him were dumbfounded.

"What on earth do you want to do? Now you want to cheat?"

"There are so many loans and aids in Nanhua. If you dare to cheat, the British Empire will let you eat it and spit it out!" Cyril shouted loudly.

"I heard that Japan's reputation in Europe is not very good now. If it attacks a Dutch colony, it would be inconvenient for Britain to support it openly!" Liu Yiming seemed not to have heard Cyril's roar.

Previously, Liu Yiming made Japan's invasion of the Netherlands public and distanced himself from the relationship.

To be fair, Nanhua really had no troops in the Dutch colonies at this time, not counting Java. The third division was in Brunei, the second division was loading, and the first and fourth divisions were left behind.

"I will solve the threat behind Nanhua within a month, and then clean up the island of Kalimantan. After completing all this, Nanhua will launch operations against French Indo-China." Liu Yiming said.

"How should I trust you?" Cyril asked after being silent for a while.

"Why don't you believe me?" Liu Yiming showed a professional smile.

…………

"They don't have any vigilance!" Zhao Jiaxing boarded the boat, holding a telescope and observing the dock at four in the morning.

Apart from the moonlight, there is no other light source in the entire dock. It is hard to believe that this is the current military port of the Dutch.

"How's it going with the Marines?" Wang Yang came up and asked.

"They should be landing soon." Zhao Jiaxing couldn't see the Marine Corps boat, so he could only guess.

Among the dozen or so ships, there is one that is the most special. The bow of the ship has obviously been modified. It is prepared for beach landing. It is just a one-time ship because it cannot retreat.

"The Marine Corps has sent the signal. The second batch is dispatched, and the warships are dispatched." Zhao Jiaxing looked at the flashing lights in the distance and said.

Two Wolf-class torpedo boats and two gunboats 501 and 502 sailed towards the front of the port, while the army men rowed small boats and climbed onto the land bit by bit.

Two hours later, at nearly 6 a.m., hundreds of troops and marines had already landed ashore.

Gathered on the east side of the port, waiting for the connector.

"Quack~quack~" A crow's cry suddenly came from the forest.

Jiang Wang imitated the crow of a chicken.

"We are the Ravens of the secret service camp. Which of you is in charge?" Two people suddenly came out of the woods.

"It's me." Jiang Wang whispered.

"battalion commander!"

"How is the situation?" Jiang Wang asked.

"This is the defense map of the dock area. This is the military barracks, warehouses, arsenals, and positions of senior government officials in the city." Raven took off his clothes and said to the light.

"You're done. Let's go land. No one has any extra clothes." Jiang Wang said, looking at the map.

"Someone, come here, make a copy of the map and send it to Commander Zhao."

Drip, drip, drip.

"It's six o'clock, now assign the task." Jiang Wang pressed his pocket watch.

"Two companies of the Marine Corps are responsible for the frontal attack on the dock. The main task is to seize these commanding heights and resolve the battle before seven o'clock."

"Two companies of the army set up barricades on the main roads to hinder the enemy's reinforcements and persist until reinforcements arrive."

"Belong to the special agent camp, remember the location of the officials, arsenal, and military camp, and try to create as much chaos as possible."

"The Marine Corps will move before 6:20, go quickly!" Jiang Wang urged, looking at the morning glow in the distance.

Several hundred people gathered together and dispersed into three teams.

The USS Immigration fire support ship, for the sake of stability, has been anchored. Once discovered, it will be a living target.

So Zhao Jiaxing had to look at his watch five times in three minutes and pretend not to care.

"Report, correction completed." the gunner said.

"Check again, we only have one chance." Zhao Jiaxing looked at the pointer, six o'clock and five.

"For this gap, leave a class."

"After the gunfire, the houses on both sides were blown down."

"We don't have heavy firepower..."

"Just hold on for an hour and you'll be done. Hurry!"

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

At 6:20 sharp, the fire support ship USS Immigrant was the first to roar.

Puff puff puff puff.

fu~fu~fu~fu.

Three eighteen-unit rocket launchers fired a rocket at the same time and flew towards the fort.

"Hit!"

"Hit!"

"Hit!"

Covering firepower will count as a hit as long as it is within 100 meters.

"volley!"

u~

The sounds of the volleys add up to form a whine.

Smoke and dust submerged this temporary fort. (Open-air forts, there are more open-air forts at this time, are still the mainstream.)

"Attack!" Sun Yu ordered.

Four 150mm artillery roared!

Boom!*4

Boom!

Because we had already aimed for a long time in advance and hit a fixed target, the four cannons directly hit the target with the first shot.

"Wolves attack! Huh~" Tang Hongming, captain of the torpedo boat squadron, cheered.

The diesel engines of the two torpedo boats suddenly roared, and their speed suddenly increased from a few knots to more than ten knots, and then to thirty knots. They drew two white lines on the sea and rushed forward.

"Unlock the torpedo on the right side, set the depth to two meters, and prepare to launch." Tang Hongming ordered as the distance got closer and closer.

The one he chose was a large warship, probably three thousand tons in size.

Two thousand meters, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, four hundred meters.

"Ready!" Three hundred meters.
