Chapter 106 Battle of Kalimantan (Part )
As Dongyang's five marine divisions launched a general offensive, Jili's troops also fought desperately.
But they pushed their own vassal troops to the front to serve as cannon fodder.
These vassal troops had almost no ability to fight back when faced with the powerful offensive of the Dongyang troops.
After just one encounter, he was completely defeated and was defeated without any suspense.
The commander of the Jili Kingdom witnessed this tragic scene and angrily cursed: "This group of damn native troops! They are so vulnerable!"
He never expected that these so-called vassal troops were so fragile that they couldn't even last a single round.
"Commander, how should we deal with this battle next?" asked the staff officer anxiously.
"No matter what, we are the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets after all, and we must not easily show weakness to the Dongyang Kingdom."
"We must teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful we are!" said the commander, gritting his teeth.
"Okay, I understand." The staff officer nodded in response.
So the commander decisively gave the order and sent nearly two hundred tanks to try to resist the fierce attack of Dongyang State.
However, Dongyang State was equally unwilling to be outdone and quickly dispatched hundreds of tanks, with strong support from carrier-based aircraft.
In this way, the two sides launched a fierce tank battle on the front line, with a large number of tanks bombarding each other on the battlefield.
The sound of cannons and the light of fire intertwined to create a chaotic and spectacular scene.
At the same time, Geely's tank forces also faced a huge threat from Dongyang's carrier-based aircraft.
These carrier-based aircraft constantly circle in the air, looking for targets, and once they find an opportunity they will launch a fierce attack.
Under such double pressure, Geely's tank troops fell into a difficult situation.
At this time, a tank from the Geely country made a deafening roar and bombarded the Type 2 tank of the Dongyang country fiercely.
The power of this shot was so incredible that it instantly turned the Type 2 tank into a pile of scrap metal.
However, the tanks of Jili State did not remain proud for long, as they were soon attacked fiercely by the carrier-based aircraft of Dongyang State.
You know, the top defense armor of the tank is relatively weak, and Dongyang's carrier-based aircraft cleverly exploited this weakness.
Some carrier-based aircraft even flew directly over the heads of the tanks and fired desperately.
At the same time, they continued to drop aerial bombs, which blew the tank into pieces on the spot.
The anti-aircraft artillery units of the Geely Kingdom were not to be outdone. They tried their best to intercept the carrier-based aircraft of the Dongyang Kingdom.
Although anti-aircraft guns have a certain ability to intercept carrier-based aircraft, it is not easy to hit a carrier-based aircraft.
"Seven o'clock! Seven o'clock! Damn Dongyang pig, shoot it down quickly!" A commander of the Geely country shouted angrily.
"Yes!" The soldiers responded in unison, and then a large number of anti-aircraft guns fired wildly at Dongyang's carrier-based aircraft.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang~" Dense artillery fire intertwined in the air into a barrage, trying to stop Dongyang's carrier-based aircraft.
The pilots from Dongyang were very annoyed when they saw the anti-aircraft artillery units on the ground.
Because these anti-aircraft guns posed a great threat to their aircraft.
So they decided to send carrier-based bombers to bomb the anti-aircraft artillery units of Jili Country to eliminate this threat.
With an order, a large number of aerial bombs poured down from the sky and hit the anti-aircraft artillery positions of Geely Country.
"Boom boom boom boom boom~" Loud noises echoed in the air, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in smoke and flames.
In this round of bombing, the anti-aircraft artillery units of the Geely country suffered a heavy blow.
Many anti-aircraft guns were directly blown up and turned into piles of scrap metal.
At the same time, many soldiers were unfortunately blown to pieces, and even their bodies could not be found.
At the same time, a large number of Geely tanks were also destroyed in the bombing.
Having lost these important weapons and equipment, the army of Jili State fell into a passive situation of being beaten.
The troops of Jili State watched nervously as the troops of Dongyang State gradually approached.
An officer shouted anxiously, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! The Dongyang pigs are about to charge. Everyone, get ready and fight back with all your might!"
Under the orders of the officers, the soldiers took action.
One of the soldiers operated a heavy machine gun and fired desperately at the Dongyang troops that were rushing up.
"Da da da da da da da da~" Dense bullets shot towards the enemy like raindrops, knocking down a large number of Dongyang soldiers in an instant.
However, the army of Jili also suffered heavy losses.
Not only did they face fierce attacks from the Dongyang tank forces, they also suffered attacks from the air.
At the same time, there were a large number of artillery on the ground bombarding them frantically.
Many of their tanks and artillery were destroyed by Dongyang's carrier-based aircraft.
At this time, a captain of the Dongyang State drew his command knife, personally led the charge to the front position, and shouted: "Kill the chickens!" (Dongyang dialect: assault)
When the Dongyang soldiers behind saw the regiment commander personally leading the charge, their morale was greatly boosted and they rushed forward one after another.
After two hours of fierce fighting, they finally succeeded in capturing the position.
"Bagayalu, si la si la di" (Dongyang dialect: bastard, go to hell) A Dongyang soldier shot directly at the wounded soldier of Jili country lying on the ground.
Originally they thought that the army of Jili was weak, but this time they encountered such tenacious resistance.
Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye. In just seven days, the army of Jili has been completely defeated and is facing the dilemma of disintegration.
Faced with such a disastrous defeat, the commander of the Jili Kingdom knew that even if he was lucky enough to return to his country, it would be difficult for him to explain to the queen, so he chose to commit suicide helplessly.
At the same time, the Dongyang Kingdom successfully occupied the island of Kalimantan, but the price they paid was equally heavy, with casualties reaching as high as 50,000.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow and great humiliation for the Dongyang State.
The regular army of Jili suffered more than 40,000 casualties, and the rest of the troops surrendered one after another. The losses of the vassal troops were relatively small, and most of them chose to surrender.
Faced with such a huge number of casualties, the commander of Dongyang State looked solemn and in a heavy mood.
After all, these sacrificed soldiers were the country's elite, and the loss of each life was an irreparable loss.
However, what is even more distressing is that the impact of this war goes far beyond this.
The Dongyang Kingdom had no place to vent their anger and dissatisfaction, so they decided to vent their anger on those innocent natives.
As a result, all the prisoners were sent to concentration camps, and the indigenous people on the entire island were brutally massacred. Countless properties were looted, too many to count.
When Qin Ruihua learned the news from Yanwu Palace, he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.
However, it's all worth it to ensure that Yan State can control this area more effectively in the future.
At the same time, the Dongyang Kingdom did not stop at occupying the surrounding islands, but turned its attention to more distant places.
They successively occupied other nearby islands, but surprisingly, they did not touch the colonies of the United States and the territories of Australia.
Faced with Dongyang State's aggressive actions, Qin Ruihua chose to remain silent and wait and see.
He understood that reducing the population would make control easier.
After all, the local population on these islands far exceeds the total population of Yan Country.
Countries around the world have strongly condemned Dongyang State's cruel and ruthless behavior.
Under pressure from international public opinion, Dongyang State had to temporarily restrain itself and give up further aggressive actions.
However, the island natives who have been persecuted by the Dongyang Kingdom will still face long-term oppression from the Dongyang Kingdom in the future.
The fleet strength of Jili State has not yet recovered. At the same time, Dongyang State returned all the captives of Jili State at a very low price.
The price is very low, only 100 million pounds.
Geely State severely condemned Dongyang State's behavior. One hundred million pounds is still a very low price?
It's so shameless, but these are still their citizens and they must be redeemed.
The Jili Kingdom had no choice but to agree to this condition and wait until their fleet strength recovered before settling accounts with the Dongyang Kingdom.
