[Historical Imagery of the Dutch-Indian Army]
Because the incident happened so suddenly, several key officers died at the same time, and the armory was blown up, the Dutch and Indian soldiers in the Taddeo barracks are still in a state of chaos until now.
The helpless Dutch second lieutenants could not control the bewildered Javanese soldiers. It was not until an impatient lieutenant took out a gun and killed a soldier who shouted "The rebels are coming" that the situation was barely controlled. Come down.
"There are no rebels nearby, they just drove away the tanks!"
"A Company goes to put out the fire! B Company gets on board and chases them!"
However, when the scattered soldiers ran to the parking lot, they found that the truck here was visibly tilted?
"Damn, they punctured the tires!"
"Sir, this is good."
At best, he was thoughtful, but at worst, he lacked virtue. Zhou Changfeng punctured some truck tires last night, but because he was a little hasty, he only punctured part of them.
"Armored vehicle driver, get here, now!"
The four tires of the AC-III armored vehicle are all solid rubber tires. Although the shock absorption effect is poor, it is not afraid of bullets, and the knife is even less useful.
The total distance between the two streets is only more than a thousand meters. Although the CTL-3 has poor firepower and protection performance, its maneuverability is very good.
A 110-horsepower V12 gasoline engine can drive the five-ton car to a highway speed of 50 km/h. Zhou Changfeng drove it to nearly 30 mph on the road in Batavia!
The dust was flying, and the tracks squealed across the cement road, leaving two gray-white traces. He thought that he might be nicknamed a road destructor in the future?
Generally speaking, tanks are generally transported by trains or heavy-duty semi-trailers. If the tank needs to be driven on the road, it needs to be replaced with special rubber tracks to prevent damage to the road.
The few civilian cars and trucks we encountered along the way had the good sense to drive to the side of the road to avoid them. Unless they were drunk, who would dare to confront a tank head-on?
About three minutes later, two CTL-3 light tanks rushed near the target villa.
On the road in front of the villa, the five Javanese policemen under the canvas shed stared blankly at the two tanks painted with the logo of the Dutch Indian Army in front of them, at a loss.
At this time, on the ninth floor platform of Catalin Hotel...
Seeing the two tanks split into two, one going to the backyard of the villa and the other coming to the front of the villa, with cheese in front and back, Shen Yu raised her hand and glanced at her watch.
At 6:01 a.m. Batavia time and 7:01 a.m. local time, an unprecedented killing operation reached its peak.
So is this the prototype of a special forces operation?
Shen Yu said the word "release" lightly and then snapped his fingers.
Qiao Yang, who was holding the mortar shell in both hands, let go, and there was a loud "bang" sound. The 81㎜ mortar shell cut through the blue sky with a beautiful parabolic trajectory, and landed slightly to the left of the villa. .
Qiao Yang immediately corrected the deviation, and then fired three rounds in a row. Shen Yu squatted behind the artillery mirror. He clearly saw the entire villa being blown up by three consecutive explosions, causing debris to fly in the sky!
"Boom boom boom -" The M7921 heavy machine gun also rang. Facing the 12.7×99mm machine gun bullets carrying 17,000 joules of kinetic energy, the wooden wall was as fragile as tissue paper, and the wood was shattered. Splattered.
The British probably couldn't figure it out even if they tried hard. The multiple security plans they prepared in advance were of no use at all.
Because the opponent is not an assassination at all, it cannot even be said to be an ordinary surprise attack. Who has ever seen someone driving a tank to assassinate?
In order to prevent the enemy from driving into the villa, the British prepared a truck as a mobile roadblock. However, the truck had been knocked away by the tank driven by Zhou Changfeng.
After the mortars were fired, the heavy machine guns temporarily stopped firing.
Now the entire villa was basically in ruins, and it was also set on fire. Because of the wood, the fire spread very quickly, and soon the ruins were engulfed by the raging fire.
Now, because of such a loud movement, the sensible civilians around had already run away. Several Javanese colonial policemen were also knocked down by Wang Mingfa's shuttle, and the rest immediately ran away rolling and crawling.
The few British agents who directly protected Chai Guoyi's safety were beaten to pieces by the shelling and strafing. They staggered out and were immediately beaten to pieces by the crossfire of two tanks in front of and behind the house. .
Through the observation window, Zhou Changfeng could see the complex expressions of the agents before they died - confusion, shock, despair, it can be described as rich and colorful.
If you think about it from their perspective, you will know how speechless and desperate these guys are. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise slightly.
But he stopped laughing immediately, because he saw a woman escaping from the ruins with a swaddled baby in her arms. A little girl followed her, while the target of the trip, Chai Guoyi, held up a pistol to protect him. in front of them.
Several people were scarred, and traces of flames could be seen on their hair and clothes.
Seeing this, Wang Mingfa beside him did not pull the trigger, and the Li brothers in the tank opposite did not fire either.
Wang Mingfa, who had an anxious face, turned around and asked loudly: "Sir Zhou, what should we do?!"
"What a hesitation! Kick!"
"yes!"
"Ta-ta--" Two heavy-pointed bullets almost broke Chai Guoyi's left leg. He immediately fell to the ground, and the pistol slid several meters away.
Zhou Changfeng immediately pushed open the hatch cover, leaned out and jumped out of the car. At the same time, he pulled out an M7911A1 pistol, rushed forward in three steps and kicked the pistol away from the ground.
At this point, Chai Guoyi had given up resistance. He shouted out loud: "Don't hurt my wife and daughter! They..."
"I know!" Zhou Changfeng took two steps forward, blocked the woman and the little girl, and said coldly: "Go to hell, this is for the sake of the frontline soldiers who died."
A Browning M7911 magazine contained seven rounds of .45ACP pistol ammunition. Amidst the "bang bang bang" gunshots, Zhou Changfeng emptied a magazine directly, causing blood to splash everywhere.
He leaned over to confirm his death, and then returned to the tank without looking back.
At this time, the roar of car engines came from the street - Company B of the third battalion of the third regiment of the first division of the Dutch Indian Army finally gave chase!
Shen Yu and the others on the Katalin Hotel witnessed all this. The silent heavy machine gun fired again, and the orange flames spouting from the muzzle were very bright even in the daytime.
The purpose of the Americans developing the .50-caliber heavy machine gun was to attack lightly armored targets, and now it is time for it to perform its job, but it is the Dutch who are being beaten?
The Dutch-Indian army's pursuit force was led by two AC-III armored vehicles, followed by seven or eight trucks full of soldiers.
If you do not consider this 12.7mm heavy machine gun, then the current situation can be said to be very embarrassing - because the weapons of the AC-III armored vehicle and the CTL-3 light tank only have 7.62mm machine guns, neither side can penetrate each other's armor. Shooting each other is the equivalent of listening to a jingle dance.
However, now, even though the slant distance is about one thousand meters, the M2 armor-piercing bombs and M8 armor-piercing incendiary bombs roaring toward the target are like knives poking through cardboard, and the fragile side armor of the armored vehicle is vulnerable!
