Chapter 419: Camp Roar

Faced with the Chinese Army's night harassment for days.

The Dutch-Indian Army outside Pontianak had not slept well for two weeks.

During the days of the siege, there were gunshots around their camp almost every night.

At first, the Dutch-Indian Army would send troops to guard against the Chinese Army sneaking into the camp.

But after two weeks, they found that the Chinese Army was just pretending to harass them and had no intention of attacking their camp.

Therefore, in the end, the Dutch-Indian Army, from Andersson himself to ordinary Dutch-Indian soldiers, were accustomed to the Chinese Army's pretense at night.

No one thought that the Chinese Army would launch a night attack on them at night.

The Dutch-Indian Army also relaxed its defense against the Chinese Army at night.

"This time, the wolf is really here."

Looking at the soldiers of the Western Brigade who were gathering and checking their weapons and equipment, Wen Xian teased.

At the same time, Wen Xian recorded these experiences word for word in the notebook he carried with him.

The world knows very little about this army that is isolated in the borderland of the United States, and even has some disdain for it.

However, Wenxian now believes that this is an armed force that cannot be underestimated.

The professionalism and combat quality shown by this army are not inferior to the armies of European powers.

"Let's give General Andersen a surprise tonight." Liang Yao rubbed his hands and said confidently as he looked at the soldiers of the Western Brigade who were gathering in an orderly manner.

"I'm afraid your prisoner-of-war camp will be expanded again." Wenxian sighed.

Through these days of observation, Wenxian now does not think that Liang Yao is an arrogant person.

Wenxian's point of view is the same as Liang Yao's, thinking that this is a battle without suspense.

The exhausted and lacking supplies of the Dutch-Indian Army are no match for the high-spirited soldiers of the Western Brigade.

After the troops were assembled, Liang Yao took out his pocket watch and saw the current time clearly with the light from the kerosene lamp.

It was 11 o'clock at night. In the past, at this time, he would always be as punctual as an alarm clock, firing guns and even firecrackers for the Dutch-Indian Army outside Pontianak to help them sleep. Today was no exception.

"Attack!"

Liang Yao put away his pocket watch and issued an order to attack.

The dense artillery sounded as promised.

The officers and soldiers of the artillery company fired shells into the Dutch-Indian Army's barracks as if they were free.

However, the Dutch-Indian Army, which had long been immune to the sound of guns and artillery, did not react to the sudden sound of guns and artillery.

They were exhausted and just wanted to have a good sleep now.

Some of the Dutch-Indian Army's Shibin even blocked their ears with cotton and rags before going to bed.

The first to react to something wrong was the sentry on duty.

The sentries first noticed that the artillery sound tonight was particularly dense.

When the bombs fell into the barracks one after another, and even three or five sentries were killed on the spot by the bombs, the sentries finally reacted.

Today, the Chinese army is not just playing a trick, but is really going to attack at night!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The sentinels shouted.

Upon learning that the Chinese army was attacking at night, Andersson hurriedly put on his military uniform, put on his saber and walked out of the tent to organize the army to counterattack.

However, the next scene surprised Andersson himself.

The Dutch-Indian army was exhausted and exhausted by the Chinese army's fake attacks for a long time. Many Dutch-Indian soldiers were already on the verge of collapse.

Hearing about the enemy attack, many highly nervous Dutch-Indian soldiers picked up their guns, loaded bullets and shot at anyone they saw.

It was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us at night.

The sudden gunshots in the camp also made many Dutch-Indian soldiers who were still mentally normal mistakenly believe that Liang Yao's Chinese army had entered the camp.

They also picked up their weapons and shot at anyone they saw.

The Pontianak Sultanate soldiers, who had long been dissatisfied with the Dutch-Indian army, also took advantage of the chaos to attack those nervous Dutch-Indian soldiers or picked up rifles on the ground to attack the Dutch-Indian army.

The entire camp of the Dutch-Indian Army was in chaos in an instant.

"Camp roar?"

Hearing the chaotic and disorderly gunshots coming from the camp of the Dutch-Indian Army, Liang Yao couldn't help but raise the telescope in his hand and carefully observe the situation in the camp of the Dutch-Indian Army.

However, under the darkness of the night, Liang Yao couldn't see any clues.

"General! Half of the base number of shells have been fired!"

The commander of the artillery company came to report to Liang Yao that they had fired half of the base number of shells.

"Keep firing." Liang Yao ordered.

"Based on my many years of service experience, there is a high probability that there is a camp roar in the camp of the Dutch-Indian Army." Elvis said.

"If it is a camp roar, let them continue to fight for a while. We can not join in the fun for the time being. I am afraid that the Dutch-Indian Army is acting for us and missed the opportunity to fight." Deng Wenkang said.

"Mr. Deng, you overestimate the Dutch-Indian Army. It is not surprising that an army that was frightened by dozens of stragglers and abandoned Pontianak City had a camp riot." Elvis still insisted on his point of view.

Not long after, the Pontianak Sultanate soldiers who ran out of the Dutch-Indian Army camp also confirmed Elvis's view that there was indeed a camp riot in the Dutch-Indian Army camp.

At midnight, hearing the gunshots in the Dutch-Indian Army camp gradually sparse, Liang Yao ordered the infantry to approach the Dutch-Indian Army camp and surround the Dutch-Indian Army camp.

At this time, Kruger also arrived in Pontianak with two battalions from the coast of the Kapuas River estuary, and completed the encirclement of the Dutch-Indian Army camp together with the Pontianak defenders.

When the sky was just getting light and the sky in the east was white.

The Dutch-Indian army camp barely restored order.

After the camp roar in the middle of the night, the Dutch and Indian army's military camp was now in a mess.

The Dutch and Indian troops suffered heavy casualties. Nearly one-third of the soldiers were killed or wounded in the camp roar and lost their combat effectiveness.

Although the Dutch-Indian Army still has about 3,000 troops.

But obviously, these Dutch and Indian troops, whose morale was extremely low, no longer had the courage to fight anymore.

Looking at the hell-like camp, the soldiers were in a sorry state.

Anderson, with disheveled hair and confused eyes, stood there for a long time speechless.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over."

Anderson muttered incoherently.

He knew very well that the camp roar at night had already sentenced him to death in his career.

Anderson had thought about being defeated by Liang Yao's Western Brigade on the battlefield, but he never thought that he would fail in such a humiliating way.

"General, the Chinese army has surrounded our military camp. Should we continue to fight or surrender?"

A colonel of the Dutch-Indian Army bravely stepped forward and asked, and did not forget to add something after he finished speaking.

"The Chinese army has a large number of people, as many as a brigade, or even more."

Anderson smiled bitterly: "Whether it's war or surrender, you already have the answer in your mind, why do you need to ask me?"

After saying that, Anderson collapsed on the muddy ground mixed with blood.

Even if he wants to fight to the end now, not to mention the Javanese soldiers in the army, even the European soldiers and these officers will probably not listen to his orders and fight to the end with the Chinese army.

Furthermore, their reinforcements are still far away, and they will not be able to hold out until the day when the reinforcements arrive.

Such resistance was futile and meaningless in the eyes of these officers.
