Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

There were pattering raindrops in the sky,

The shadows of more than a dozen soldiers appeared on the road.

There is a distance of about ten meters between each person!

There is also an M3 half-track armored vehicle in front!

The squad leader Huang Song was wearing a pair of rubber shoes.

He held a Garand rifle in his hand.

He was wearing a raincoat.

The road was already very bad, and when the Indonesian army retreated, they deliberately destroyed the road!

Although there was no decent resistance,

But after three days of walking, they only advanced 100 kilometers. Almost every time the engineers repaired a section, the main force would advance one section.

Huang Song and his class went forward to scout the enemy situation ahead!

After walking about 500 meters along the road, the rain slowly stopped.

This stretch of road is all flat farmland, with villages visible from time to time nearby. The large rice fields are like green velvet carpets, with raindrops condensing into crystal clear water droplets on the rice leaves. When the breeze blows, the rice leaves sway gently and the water droplets roll down.

The palm leaves on the roof of the longhouse were washed clean by the rain, and the bamboo and wood of the house exuded a natural atmosphere. The wooden piles on the bottom of the house were reflected in the water, forming a unique picture.

Huang Song held his rifle in his arms and looked at a nearby village vigilantly. He had already arrived at the southern plain area of ​​the island. There was a large population and there was a village almost every 2-3 kilometers. But the terrible thing was that he couldn't tell the enemy from us.

Huang Song recalled the stories the veterans had told him. He was really afraid that there might be guerrillas among the common people.

In the village, some men and women saw the soldiers on the road and seemed to be a little scared. They all went into the wooden houses and closed the doors and windows tightly!

The weather in Kalimantan is like a child's face. The rain stopped, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the sunlight poured down on the earth without any obstruction.

Huang Song was so hot that sweat kept running down his cheeks.

While everyone is focusing on moving forward,

Suddenly, an Indonesian woman stumbled out of a house on the side of the road. She looked panicked, her hair was disheveled, and she was holding a child tightly in her arms. She ran and shouted something at us, her voice full of anxiety and despair.

Huang Song quickly raised his hand to signal the troops to stop advancing, and quickly went forward with a few soldiers.

When he got closer, Huang Song could see clearly that she was holding a little boy of about 7-8 years old.

The child's face was flushed red, his eyes were closed, and he leaned weakly in his mother's arms, occasionally uttering a few weak moans.

The woman walked up to him, knelt down with a plop, and said something in incomprehensible Indonesian.

Behind Huang Song, local new soldier He Jiahao whispered,

"Squad leader, she said her child has been sick for several days and hasn't gotten better. She wants us to save her child!"

"Go to the armored vehicle and call the medic over!"

Not long after, a pickup truck drove up from behind.

Xiao Geng, the company's medical worker, hurried over with a medicine box on his back. After figuring out the situation, he quickly opened the box, took out a thermometer to take the child's temperature, gave the child an aspirin, carefully checked the child's symptoms, and then took out penicillin to prepare for injection.

Before the injection, the hygienist carefully performed a skin test on the child. He expertly disinfected and injected the skin test solution, comforting the child softly while staring intently at the changes in the child's skin.

After the skin test was completed and the child was confirmed to have no allergic reaction, the health worker picked up the syringe filled with penicillin and slowly injected the liquid medicine into the child's body. During the injection, the woman held the child's hand tightly and looked at the health worker without blinking, her eyes full of worry and expectation.

After the injection, Huang Song and others stopped moving forward and rested temporarily, waiting for the child's condition to improve.

After a while, the child's face gradually regained some color, his frown slowly relaxed, and his breathing became much more stable. The woman saw that the child had improved, tears flashed in her eyes, and she held the soldiers' hands, saying thank you. Although they couldn't speak the same language, Huang Song could feel their gratitude.

Before entering the southern part of the island, the troops had issued a notice not to harass ordinary people and to give as much help as possible. After this battle, many places in the southern part of the island will also be the territory of Haizhou State!

Night came,

Bangamasing Port,

In the afternoon, Yuan Canhai ordered Lin Jiwen to lead the main force of the 1st Regiment to advance 20 kilometers northward and seize a small village called Pontianak, which is located at a three-way intersection.

Another 40 kilometers to the north is the city of Sanda, and to the east there is a small road leading to a port in the east, Guaraje!

In other words, this is the only way for the enemy in Songda to escape! Yuan Canhai's idea is to block the enemy's escape route to the south and wait for the army to arrive at the city of Songda. At that time, it is time for the Marine Corps to continue to advance northward!

Adhering to the principle of not disturbing the public,

Lin Jiwen set up positions on the north and east sides of Pontianak Village. The 1nd Company of the 2st Battalion advanced about 3 kilometers and built the first line of defense on both sides of the road leading to Sanda!

In this way, even if attacked, fire support will be provided from the rear, and this position is still within the range of naval guns!

Yuan Canhai himself led the Marine Corps Command, an armored infantry company, and a self-propelled artillery company to set up defenses on the outskirts of Bangamasing!

Pontianak!

In just two hours, with the help of four excavators, the position was completed.

With the full support of Yin Xinjun, the Marine Corps is now equipped with extremely luxurious equipment, and even each company is equipped with tanks and armored vehicles.

The 2nd Company Commander Lu Chen arranged the 3st platoon on the left wing of the road, the 12nd platoon on the right wing of the road, and the company headquarters, the rd platoon and the machine gun platoon at the rear, forming an inverted triangle formation! At the same time, he also deployed all tanks and armored vehicles in the company to the rear end of the inverted triangle!

In order to prevent the enemy from attacking at night, the soldiers set up two barbed wire fences on the left and right wings. In the middle of the road, Lu Chen arranged for the soldiers to set up two searchlights, powered by a diesel generator. In the dark night, the light of the searchlights could shine more than 200 meters away!

At around ten o'clock in the evening, after dinner, the tired soldiers began to fall into a deep sleep!

On the left wing, in a circular trench, soldier Luo Liang held a submachine gun and looked vigilantly into the dark night. He was the No. 2 sentry tonight, responsible for guarding the left wing.

Luo Liang looked at the two barbed wire fences a hundred meters ahead and felt a little uneasy. He took out two grenades, found a piece of thin wire, walked to the barbed wire fence, tied the fuse to the barbed wire with the thin wire, and made two simple tripwires!

At about one in the morning,

A loud bang exploded at the barbed wire on the left wing!

Luo Liang, who was feeling a little sleepy, was given a big fright!
