Chapter 353 [Fan Shiwu] Late at night, killing on the South Sea islands, teaching Java monkeys how to be monkeys

Zengmu Island is an island with an area of ​​1,700 square kilometers, of which mountains account for more than 70% of the area. Only the marginal areas near the coast are relatively flat. The previous islanders basically lived on the plains facing the sea.

Today, there are no civilians on this island. It is full of soldiers, either Javanese soldiers or Li Jingtian’s subordinates who insist on fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains.

The Javanese government did once immigrate some Javanese people to this island in an attempt to strengthen its control over the island. However, Li Jingtian’s men often attacked these Javanese people, which eventually led to the failure of the Javanese government’s plan.

This is also the reason why Lu Yaowen wanted to leave an armed force on Zengmu Island to fight guerrilla warfare. The two countries of Java and India like to use immigration as their favorite means of occupying land. Their immigrants must be prevented from staying, otherwise the reproduction capacity of these guys will be comparable to that of domestic pigs.

It is also because of this that there are only two military camps on Zengmu Island, one in the south and one in the north. A total of more than 10,000 Javanese soldiers are stationed on the island, including a division of nearly 9,000 soldiers stationed in the military camp in the south.

At the beginning, the Javanese government sent an army of nearly 30,000 people to station on Zengmu Island, hoping to wipe out Li Jingtian’s men in one fell swoop. However, after several months of encirclement and suppression, the Javanese found that they had overestimated themselves.

In the dense forests of the central mountains of Zengmu Island, the advantage in numbers could not be brought into play at all. In addition, most of the Javanese soldiers had not received strict military training. Not only did they fail to kill many of Li Jingtian’s men, but they suffered more than a thousand casualties and also sent a large number of weapons and food to Li Jingtian’s men.

Under such circumstances, the Javanese government, while promoting the “encouraging” progress of the “suppression of banditry”, withdrew its troops from Zengmu Island, leaving only one division of troops. The purpose was not to wipe out Li Jingtian’s people, but to trap them in the central mountains and exhaust them to death.

Late at night, in the military camp in the southern part of Zengmu Island.

“There’s a big commotion in Papua. The commander of the 17th Army, Lang Asan, was ambushed and killed. The country has transferred two more armies of troops there. It seems they are preparing for a decisive battle.”

The speaker was the commander of the Javanese on Zengmu Island, Major General Alex.

“The president has sold the gold mine discovered in Papua to the Freeport Mining Company in America. It is said that the price was…”

Alex’s adjutant Matthew held up six fingers and said, “Six hundred million dollars, and 20% of the profits will be given to His Excellency the President every year.”

“Without sufficient benefits, who would be willing to deal with those Papuan natives?”

Alex shook his head and laughed.

The current government in Java is a military government. President Sutoha is a warlord who came to power through a coup. After he came to power, he had no strength or prestige, let alone legitimate reasons to rule the island nation of Java.

This also means that Java today is actually similar to Luzon. It is a unified country in name, but in reality it is ruled by dozens of warlords of all sizes.

If Sutoha wanted to mobilize the army to “suppress the rebellion” in the name of the government, he would have to offer enough benefits to the warlords under him or the warlords in other regions to get them to send troops.

Therefore, places like Papua, which have gold mines, have no shortage of troops to “suppress the rebellion”, but no warlords are willing to come to Zengmu Island, a “barren land” with only wood.

If Sutoha had not agreed to allocate Alex an additional portion of military funds every year, he would not be willing to stay here and enjoy the sea breeze every day.

“It would be great if gold mines were also discovered on Zengmu Island.”

Matthew shook his head and laughed.

“Don’t think about something that’s impossible. Think about how to completely wipe out the Chinese in the mountains. This way, we can have a piece of land of our own.”

Alex said slowly.

“…”

Hearing Alex’s words, Matthew fell silent.

He has been fighting with the Chinese on Zengmu Island for more than a year. These Chinese have left an indelible impression on him that will last a lifetime. Each of them is extremely powerful.

The most important thing is that planes would drop supplies to these Chinese every now and then, and they had no way to deal with it. Alex reported to the Javanese government and asked for air defense equipment, but all of them were rejected by the Javanese government.

The money basically went into the private pockets of the major warlords. Unless they had no other choice, who would be willing to give money from their own mouths to Alex and his gang?

It was precisely because of this that Alex, the division commander, the Major General, simply gave up and had not gone into the mountains to “suppress the bandits” for several months. He just blocked the landing points in the north and south and slowly consumed the enemy’s resources.

“Matthew, the current situation is not a bad thing for us. At least we don’t have to worry about military expenses.”

Alex saw his adjutant had a worried look on his face and smiled and said something comforting.

Then he continued, “In a few days, after the supply ship arrives, we will go to Luzon to hang out and relax.”

Hearing Alex’s words, Matthew showed a smile that all men understand.

Just as Alex and Matthew finished their conversation and prepared to go to bed, several warships, patrol boats and cargo ships had arrived in the waters near Zengmu Island.

Under the cover of night, hundreds of people boarded more than twenty small boats and rowed towards Zengmu Island not far away.

The Javanese never dreamed that an army would attack them from the sea, so their early warning and defense measures were all aimed at the mountains in the center of the island.

Even so, just in case, hundreds of Russian soldiers jumped off the boat more than a thousand meters away from Zengmu Island and swam stealthily towards Zengmu Island to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

When these Russian soldiers came ashore, the Javanese still didn’t notice until:

‘Da da da~’

A burst of gunfire woke up Alex who had fallen asleep. He grabbed the intercom beside him and shouted, “Matthew, what’s going on outside?”

“Sir, I’m investigating!”

Matthew’s voice came from the speaker of the intercom.

“Notify all officers to organize their men and put the entire division on combat readiness!”

Alex gave the order immediately.

“understand!”

But a dozen seconds later, Matthew’s somewhat panicked voice rang out: “Enemy attack!”

“Boom!” “Boom!”

At this time, several explosions also reached Alex’s ears.

After several hundred “vanguards” established a landing point, Andre immediately led a large force to land on Zengmu Island under the cover of warships’ artillery fire.

After more than a year of preparation, Lu Yaowen knew the situation on Zengmu Island very well.

The entire Zengmu Island has only one port in the south. As long as this port is controlled, the supply of nearly 10,000 Javanese soldiers on the island will be cut off. Combined with the Chinese guerrilla warfare on the island, it will not be difficult to wipe out the Javanese army on the island by attacking from both inside and outside.

After all, in front of the Javanese army, the Russian army was truly a “divine force descending from the sky”.

‘Da da da~’

Just as Lu Yaowen thought, the Javanese army was completely vulnerable to the Soviet army. In just half an hour, the defensive fortifications in the military camp had been conquered one by one by the Soviet army.

Nearly a thousand Javanese soldiers were killed, and another three or four thousand were captured, while the rest huddled near Alex’s command post.

“Sir, have you contacted the military?”

Matthew’s face was full of horror.

Usually, the wars between Javanese were not even as strong as World War I. Most of the time, they relied on their most elite soldiers to charge in and crush the enemy’s morale. Even if they won, they had never fought such a fierce battle.

Matthew was almost frightened at this moment.

“They asked us to hold on for three days and wait for rescue.”

Alex’s expression was also uglier than if his mother had died.

“Three days? Damn it, they might as well just let us commit suicide!”

After hearing what Alex said, Matthew didn’t care about “respect” for his superior and cursed directly.

Given the current situation, Matthew felt that it was a blessing from God that he could hold on for three hours.

“…”

Hearing Matthew’s words, Alex’s eyes flashed with helplessness. Then he seemed to think of something and immediately said, “Matthew, go talk to these people outside and try to delay the time.”

“Sir, you want me to negotiate with those guys outside? I won’t go!”

Matthew was stunned and immediately shook his head to refuse. He didn’t dare to joke with his own life.

“Matthew, this is an order. If you don’t go, you will be deserting the battlefield. I can shoot you on the spot!”

Alex snapped.

Matthew’s expression instantly became uglier than his mother’s death. He looked at Alex deeply, gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, Alex, I’ll go!”

A few minutes later.

“Mr. Colonel…”

A Russian officer was interrupted by Andrei before he finished speaking: “Nikolai, I have said many times that we are not soldiers now, so don’t call us by our ranks.”

“Mr. Andre, there is a man who claims to be Colonel Java who wants to meet with you.”

The Russian officer Nikolai immediately changed the way he addressed Andrei.

“Bring him here.”

Andre’s eyes flashed and he spoke immediately.

He could order his warships to open fire at any time and use heavy artillery to blow through the Javanese’s last line of defense on Zengmu Island. The reason he didn’t do so was that he wanted to wait for a Javanese with enough weight to come and see him.

Soon, Matthew was brought before Andre.

“What position do you hold in the Javanese army on this island?”

Andre asked directly without waiting for Matthew to speak.

“I am an adjutant of the Javanese army.”

Matthew answered truthfully.

“If your superior dies, can you make the decisions on this island?”

Andre continued to ask.

“…”

Matthew was slightly stunned, then he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes narrowed, and after a few seconds, he replied: “Maybe.”

“Give me a precise answer.”

Andre stared at Matthew, his tone was exceptionally calm, but it made Matthew tremble all over: “Okay!”

“it is good.”

Andre smiled and nodded, then picked up the satellite phone and dialed a number.

“Do it!”

After the call was connected, Andre said these three words in a calm tone.

After more than a minute, Matthew completely understood the meaning of the three words “Andre”.

‘Boom~’ ‘Boom~’…

A violent explosion sounded in Matthew’s ears. He turned his head to look at Alex’s command post, where balls of fire lit up.

It took a full three minutes for the shelling to end.

Soon, thousands of Ermao soldiers rushed to Alex’s command post and captured hundreds of Javanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive in the ruins.

“Notify the remaining soldiers on your island to gather here. Also, contact the top leaders of your Javanese government and tell them that the Chinese counterattack on Zengmu Island tonight has been repelled by you.”

Andre looked at Matthew, who had a dazed look on his face, and gave his orders.

To control Zengmu Island, the most important thing is naturally to actually control the island. Apart from this, Lu Yaowen needs to delay time as much as possible. When the storm in Siam is transmitted to Java and Java also falls into a financial crisis, it will be the best time for Lu Yaowen to take action.

At that time, Lu Yaowen could “victory without fighting.”

Before that, Lu Yaowen needed to confuse the Javanese government as much as possible and make them ignore Zengmu Island.

“Okay… okay.”

Matthew was stunned for a few seconds before nodding in response.

The next morning, a regiment stationed on the north side of Zengmu Island, under Matthew’s command, the regiment commander and other commanders came to the south. The result was naturally self-evident. Andre’s men captured another regiment of prisoners.

From then on, the “battle” for Zengmu Island was officially declared over. After paying the price of one hundred Ermao soldiers’ casualties, Lu Yaowen captured more than 5,000 Javanese soldiers, annihilated nearly 5,000 people, and successfully controlled Zengmu Island. It can be said that he won a great victory.

After completely taking control of Zengmu Island, Andre took out the satellite phone and dialed Lu Yaowen’s number.

“Awen, my people have completely taken over Zengmu Island…”

Andre reported the general results of the battle to Lu Yaowen.

“Andre, thank you for your hard work this time. For the soldiers who died in battle, please inform all the soldiers. I will issue a pension of $500,000 to the soldiers who died in battle. For the injured soldiers, I will issue subsidies ranging from 50,000 to 300,000, depending on the severity of their injuries.”

“Also, everyone who participates in the fight will receive a reward of one thousand dollars.”

Lu Yaowen only had one trick to deal with the ermao soldiers: “throwing money”.

“Awen, I will immediately pass on your words to my men.”

A bright smile immediately appeared on Andre’s face. Lu Yaowen was so generous to his soldiers, so he would naturally be even more generous to his brother-in-law.

“Andrei, those Javanese captives are all strong laborers. Don’t waste them. Just like you did to the islanders in Siberia, urge these Javanese monkeys to build fortifications.”

A smile appeared on Lu Yaowen’s face.

“clear.”

Andre understood what he meant and also showed a bright smile on his face.

Then, Lu Yaowen instructed Andre on a few more things before hanging up the phone a few minutes later. Immediately afterwards, Lu Yaowen dialed another number.

“Xiao Qi, it’s me.”

After the call was connected, Lu Yaowen spoke immediately.

“Mr. Lu, what are your orders?”

Xiao Qi’s voice came from the receiver.

“My people have taken over Zengmu Island. Now you have two things to do immediately.”

When Xiao Qi heard Lu Yaowen say that he had taken Zengmu Island, his eyes immediately flashed with ecstasy: “Mr. Lu, please give me your orders.”

“First, notify your people on Zengmu Island and have them assist my people in building fortifications in the mountains, just in case.”

Although Lu Yaowen was confident that he could force the Javan monkey to surrender, nothing is absolute in the world, and he also had to prevent the Javan monkey from going crazy.

“Ok.”

Xiao Qi responded immediately.

“The second thing is to immediately mobilize Nightingale’s people in Java to cooperate with my next operation in Java…”

Lu Yaowen spoke slowly, word by word.
