Chapter 378 One hundred million oceans!
When they heard that all the Chinese were going to be killed, the others were completely panicked.

There are still quite a few Chinese people on the island of Kalimantan. After all, they have been multiplying here for nearly a hundred years.

Do not!
Some are even almost two or three hundred years old.

In fact, there is no difference between them and the local indigenous people. The only difference is that the influence brought by hundreds of years of occupation is still very large.

If the Japanese army had not been so brutal, they would not have rebelled violently.

Now they are going to call back all the troops outside to kill all these Chinese, so naturally they are a little panicked.

Of course, they were not in a panic about killing all these Chinese. To them, these Chinese were nothing more than chickens and dogs, and it was easy to suppress them.

After all, if we can’t defeat the Nanyang Task Force, can we still defeat these Chinese?

As for the reason for the panic, if all the garrison troops were called back to wipe out those Chinese, it would be dangerous.

The enemy will definitely not give up this opportunity.

As expected, someone quickly advised.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, once the defenders outside the city are transferred back, Sribagawan will be in danger."

"Baga, these damn guerrillas, I'm going to kill them all, baga!" Lieutenant General Shite Izuna didn't want to care about the Nanyang Army outside the city at all. He was ready to retreat, but before that he had to teach this group of Chinese a good lesson and let them know that the Imperial Japanese Army cannot be bullied.

"Mr. Commander, are you going to give up the city of Bandar Seri Begawan?" Someone immediately guessed his intention and asked carefully.

"That's right. Since we can't defend Bandar Seri Begawan anymore, we have to give up. But before that, I need to make some money and bring all the defenders back to wipe out those Chinese with all our strength." Lieutenant General Shite Izuna said in a deep voice.

It must be said that his words really brightened the eyes of the officers.

It means they can massacre the city at will.

You know, in order to take care of the influence and win over the indigenous people, they behaved very gentlemanly.

Even making money is done in secret.

It’s still rare to be completely relaxed now, so naturally I’m very excited.

"Yes." Now everyone had no objection.

After all, why would they refuse something that allows them to share the benefits?

When the garrison outside the city was called back, the Chinese in the city suddenly fell into an unfavorable situation.

As mentioned earlier, the Japanese army could not defeat the Nanyang Task Force, so could they not deal with these Chinese guerrillas?
The Chinese guerrillas seemed ferocious, but they were only facing the Imperial Army composed of indigenous people.

Now the Japanese field troops came on the scene, using mortars and mountain artillery to defeat the Chinese guerrillas.

However, the Chinese in the city took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and skillfully dealt with the Japanese army. In addition, the Chinese majorities in the city took out all their hidden weapons, and for a while the battle with the Japanese army was difficult to distinguish.

It was not until this time that the Japanese army realized that they were too naive.

These seemingly harmless Chinese are actually very strong in combat.

And their weapons are very advanced.

Do not!
It should be said that the firepower is very strong.

Some large Chinese families also have 81mm mortars, and their firepower is no weaker than that of the Japanese army.

Even some Japanese troops composed entirely of new recruits were beaten back step by step.

This immediately made the Japanese army angry and humiliated, and they attacked more vigorously.

At one time, many mansions of wealthy Chinese families were breached, and a horrific end was waiting for them.

"Damn, are they all American weapons and equipment?" Lieutenant General Shite Jingzuna was extremely annoyed when he received the news. He did not expect that these Chinese tribes, who looked harmless, had such powerful firepower.

If it weren't for the poor training, they would probably have suffered a lot.

Even so, they suffered heavy losses.

At least several hundred Japanese soldiers lost their lives.

"Hay."

"Baga, kill all these Chinese." Lieutenant General Shite Izuna roared angrily.

"Hay."

Several people from the Military Investigation Bureau were trembling with fear, because they felt more and more that the Japanese army seemed to have gone crazy and had no care for anything.

"Stationmaster, how about sending a telegram? Ask when the reinforcements will arrive? This little Japanese guy seems a little crazy." An agent said with some fear.
"Are you scared?" asked the stationmaster with a glance.

"Yeah, a little bit. The Japanese army is too crazy."

"Don't be afraid, it should be coming soon. This is the last madness of the Japanese army."

"But what you said makes sense. We really need to urge them. If they continue like this, the Japanese army will be here soon." The stationmaster took a deep breath and then sent the telegram himself.

After receiving the telegram, Long Wenjian took a look at it and immediately urged Xing Jiuhong to lead the paratroopers to attack the city of Bandar Seri Begawan.

At this time, the Japanese army had no intention of attacking, so their fighting will was very weak.

When Xing Jiuhong saw that the Chinese and the Japanese army in the city were fighting to a standstill, he decisively joined the battle. With the help of the Nanyang Task Force, the Japanese army was defeated and fled in disarray.

The main reason is that they have no will to fight at all, they just want to grab a wave and then retreat.

So when the Japanese army learned that the Nanyang Task Force had entered the city, they only resisted for a while and then chose to retreat.

The Imperial Army, which was composed of indigenous people, took this opportunity to smash shops and loot property.

In response, Xing Jiuhong strictly carried out Long Wenjian's orders and killed everyone without mercy.

In a short time, the blood of the people killed in the city flowed like a river, and corpses were everywhere.

The natives who had been so arrogant before were now trembling with fear.

"There are no more big Chinese families?" Xing Jiuhong was stunned for a long time after receiving the news from his subordinates.

"Yes, you are late."

Just when Xing Jiuhong was a little confused, he saw a few people walking towards him.

Seeing the other party take out the Military Investigation Bureau's ID, his brows frowned slightly.

"It's already very fast. The roads here are very bad. It's not easy for us to get here in such a short time." Xing Jiuhong knew that the other party was not easy to deal with, but he would not be so humble as to speak in a low voice. His tone was very calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I know, but unfortunately without the help of these Chinese clans, it would take a lot of effort to maintain order in this city."

As a result, before he could finish, he heard Xing Jiuhong say calmly.

"That's your business. It has nothing to do with me. I have to continue chasing the Japanese army. I'll leave this to you."

Having said that, Xing Jiuhong ordered to continue pursuing the Japanese army.

Meanwhile, at the Southern Army Headquarters, Kimura Heitaro was pacing around the room like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered. He said to Tsukada Kou, "If this continues, the entire Kalimantan Island will be destroyed."

When he learned that the South China Sea Task Force had landed in Bandar Seri Begawan, Heitaro Kimura knew that Kalimantan was no longer safe.

He now had only one thought, to quickly leave the Southern Army.

I would have never come here if I had known. But it's too late now.

"Commander, we can only seek help from the headquarters now." Tsukada Ko said helplessly.

Who knew, Kimura Heitaro's face turned red.

Also the help of the base camp.

The reinforcements promised to me never arrived.

And the Navy!

Not yet!
"Impossible. The headquarters' focus right now is Australia. We can only rely on ourselves here." Kimura Heitaro shook his head and said.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Tsukada Gong looked helpless.

"Are we just going to watch the other side occupy the island of Kalimantan?" asked Heitaro Kimura in grief.

"Commander, unless we are willing to transfer Yamashita Tomoyuki's troops to Kalimantan, but in that case, Malacca may be lost." Tsukada Ko said expressionlessly.

When he heard that the Strait of Malacca was about to be lost, Heitaro Kimura immediately shook his head.

This place must not be lost!
If this gets lost, it's really over.

"Let me think about it again." Kimura Heitaro waved his hand and said with a tired look on his face.

On the other hand, under the powerful offensive of the South Seas Task Force, the Japanese army suffered successive defeats. However, since Kalimantan Island was too difficult to conquer, it was impossible to completely occupy it. They could only occupy the port and wait for the time being. As for other places, it would take some time.

Even so, the prestige of the Nanyang Task Force in the Nanyang area skyrocketed several times. Countless Chinese came here to join, and for a time, the development speed was greatly accelerated.

It originally relied on military funding from the US military.

Now that we have recovered many places one after another, we have naturally seized a lot of spoils.

Although weapons and ammunition are free, soldiers' salaries, allowances, food expenses, camp construction fees, etc. all cost money.

It was precisely by plundering and obtaining a large amount of funds that the military operations of the Nanyang Task Force were supported.

Now that a part of Kalimantan Island has been occupied, it will naturally bring huge benefits to the South China Sea Task Force.

After all, there is no need to hand over so many spoils.

So this time, Cun Yunsheng can be said to have gained a lot of weight.

"What a great victory, Sir. We have stabilized the defense line on Kalimantan Island. The next step is to slowly erode the enemy's advantage." Meng Fanle said excitedly while holding a telegram.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng naturally felt very good.

"What about the casualties?" Cun Yunsheng asked again with concern.

Meng Fanle picked up another telegram and began to report the results of this battle, his own casualties, and the spoils obtained in the war.

"Commander in Chief, up to now, our army has killed more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers and 100,000 natives, captured more than 70,000 people, and suffered more than 5,000 casualties." Meng Fanle reported quickly.

Cun Yunsheng nodded. Compared with the results achieved, the casualties this time were not great. It was indeed a great victory.

"The pensions for the dead and seriously injured soldiers must be arranged as soon as possible. I don't want to see the situation of drinking the blood of soldiers. Otherwise, I will never let them off easily!"

"Yes, don't worry, I will supervise it personally." Meng Fanle responded quickly.

"So, in this war, besides recovering these lost territories, are there any other benefits?" Cun Yunsheng asked.

The Dutch colonists ruled the Dutch Islands for three hundred years, during which time they must have plundered a great deal of wealth.

Although most of these riches were shipped back to the Netherlands, the Dutch governor, those officials, and the Dutch living in the colonies all made a fortune. The Japanese army plundered all these people's wealth, which must have been an astronomical figure.

Even if the Japanese army sent back part of these riches, they would certainly have continued to plunder during this period.

Given the local heritage, there must be some big surprises.

This is why Cun Yunsheng couldn't wait to ask.

Because once you really get rich, you will also get the pension this time.

There is even a large amount of funds to support construction. After all, money is needed everywhere now.

The little money seized from Stilwell was of no use at all.

It can only barely maintain military expenses, which means that the current system subsidizes part of the arms from time to time.

Next, another cargo ship will be converted into an escort aircraft carrier.

So you need money everywhere.

"Sir, according to preliminary estimates, the total value of all our spoils from this battle is over 100 million silver dollars. Most of them were obtained from the natives. As for those from the Japanese army, the spoils were not much. In addition, mines, plantations and the like in various places were not taken into account." Meng Fanle said to Cun Yunsheng.

"One hundred million dollars is really a lot." Cun Yunsheng immediately smiled happily.

This is indeed a lot of money.

"If we take over all of Nanyang, won't we be rich?" Cun Yunsheng muttered. Especially the Strait of Malacca, the annual toll is an astronomical figure.

"Sir, my father is promoting compulsory education, which requires a lot of funds. This money comes at the perfect time." Meng Fan scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Are there any new railways being planned? These also require money, right?" Cun Yunsheng said speechlessly.

The money hasn't arrived yet?

Just started to split?
Hearing this, Meng Fan's mouth twitched.

"Sir, the soldiers have fought hard and we need to reward them." Another staff officer reached out for money.

"Sir, the logistics department needs a large number of trucks to transport supplies, as well as military uniforms and camp construction, which all require a lot of funds." The officer in charge of logistics also hurriedly said.

One hundred million oceans is like a big piece of fat meat. All departments want to fight for it, which gives Cun Yunsheng a headache. However, these people are not doing it for personal gain, so Cun Yunsheng can still accept it.

Seeing that others were about to stand up and fight for the funds, Cun Yunsheng waved his hand and said, "Don't fight, I know how to distribute the 100 million yuan, and this is just the beginning, there will be more to come."

"Half must be devoted to the military, and the rest to infrastructure development, especially railways and education."

Each side gets half, and no one gets more. This distribution plan makes both sides very satisfied. However, the economic strength of the South China Sea Task Force created by Cun Yunsheng is not strong. To ensure rapid development, it needs to continue plundering externally.

After the funds were allocated, Cun Yunsheng began to pay attention to the Battle of Changsha.

Mainly, I want to know the progress of the Battle of Changsha.

Who knew that the news Meng Fanle brought him was actually good.

That is, Xue Yue has currently held the defense line, which means that the Japanese army will not be able to reach Changsha for a while.

This is indeed good news for him.

I originally thought that Changsha City could not be defended.

Now it seems that I have thought too much.

"Xue Boling is pretty good. His Tianlu fighting tactics are worth learning. Haven't we received a batch of new fighter jets? Let them go over to help. We can't make things too difficult for Xue Boling." Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and said.

"Yes."
