Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the Indonesian troops began to break into pieces when faced with an unfavorable situation, planning to use small groups of troops to fight quickly and move quickly to slow down the offensive speed of the Southern Xinjiang Army. After all, the British had already come forward to participate in the mediation, and they thought that as long as they could slow down the attack speed of the southern Xinjiang army, they would be able to slow down later. Unfortunately, the intervention of the British did not change the situation of the war. The Southern Xinjiang Army, which was also broken into pieces, unleashed an even more powerful fighting force.
The Indonesian military did not know that these batches of southern Xinjiang troops transferred from Tangcheng were elites who had received training in mountain warfare and new tactics. Tangcheng, which still retains the memory of later generations, knew that there would be almost no large-scale ground battles in future wars, so the southern Xinjiang army began to conduct targeted special tactics training with small groups very early. Moreover, with the continuous research in the military industrial laboratory, many military equipment in the Southern Xinjiang Army have been updated, which is far beyond what the Indonesian army with old equipment can match.
In accordance with Downing Street's previous agreement with Tangcheng, the British ambassador, as the mediator, proposed from the beginning to send protection troops to the Chinese gathering areas to provide protection for the Chinese. The protection force he proposed was naturally based on the Southern Xinjiang Army, supplemented by a small number of Indonesian troops and British troops. According to the British ambassador, only after seeing is believing and understanding the current situation of the Chinese in Indonesia can Tangcheng be willing to sit down and talk with the Indonesian government. The Indonesian government had no choice but to hold its nose and agree after discussing with the military.
Two days later, 1,200 soldiers from the Southern Xinjiang Army transferred from Tangcheng began to enter the Chinese gathering areas in Indonesia in batches. The Southern Xinjiang troops wearing camouflage combat uniforms were all tall and tall. They were fully armed and naturally showed a strong murderous aura unconsciously. The performance of the Southern Xinjiang Army is obviously different from that of the Indonesian Army, especially since each of them wears a red armband embroidered with a regimental dragon pattern on their shoulders. The persecuted Chinese Indonesians did not trust the soldiers in southern Xinjiang at first, but as time went by and the performance of the soldiers in southern Xinjiang, the Chinese in Indonesia gradually began to accept their help.
According to the statistics compiled by foreign reporters, at least more than 20,000 Chinese Indonesians were persecuted, but the statistics compiled by the protection forces more than tripled this number. "Why not?" A Southern Xinjiang Army officer wearing the rank of captain was using a roll of gauze to wrap the left leg of a young Chinese man. "Can you guarantee that those local monkeys didn't bully your parents? They didn't bully your grandparents? They didn't bully your ancestors?"
The young Chinese who was dissatisfied with being treated as a wounded man still wanted to struggle, but was pinned down on the hospital bed by the officer, "We are here this time to settle the accounts with these local monkeys! You have been living here, don't you know? You can't give these local monkeys a smile! If you want to coexist peacefully with them, you must beat them hard when they are stupid, otherwise they will never learn to respect you."
The Chinese boy didn't quite understand what the officer said, but he knew that what the officer was doing to him now was definitely not harming him. A few minutes later, the Chinese boy with gauze wrapped around his thigh and head looked like a seriously injured person. In this temporary hospital, there are many Chinese who have been severely injured just like this Chinese boy. In a few hours, an international observation team headed by the British will come here to understand the situation.
This so-called international observation team created by the British ambassador is actually just a temporary group of foreigners stranded in Indonesia. The members of the observation team come from multiple countries and have different professions. This international observation group includes journalists and officials, businessmen, ordinary staff of the consulate, and even two cooks. Two hours later, the international observation team finally showed up. Although they knew what was happening, they were still shocked by the large number of seriously injured people here.
Seeing the young man and the old man who were covered in gauze and paralyzed on the hospital bed with frightened expressions, the foreigners in the observation group all glared at the accompanying Indonesian government officials. The officer of the Southern Xinjiang Army who was responsible for the protection mission carefully explained the situation of most of the wounded here in front of Indonesian government officials. "The number of injured people here is actually only a very small part, because our medicines and doctors are simply not enough, so we can only give priority to the seriously injured people. In the Chinese gathering areas, there are more injured people, who can only rely on their family members to take care of them."
"I have another copy here. It's just preliminary statistics. During the previous attacks and riots against the Chinese, more than 5,000 Chinese shops were destroyed and looted. The lost property cannot be counted at all." The officer's last sentence The words made the originally ugly-looking Indonesian officials secretly happy. Without accurate figures, they could evade it completely. Seemingly aware of the Indonesian official's little thoughts, the southern Xinjiang officer grinned.
"However, we Chinese have a very good habit. When we are engaged in business activities, we must have account books. With the account books, we can not only check the accounts and check the numbers, but also pay taxes and fees. Moreover, Chinese people doing business , and also like to keep various receipts for the record. Therefore, as long as we check the receipts and tickets of these Chinese shops, it is not difficult to calculate the actual losses of these Chinese shops." The officer's words made the Indonesian officials' expressions instantly become more serious. Difficult to look at.
"In addition, during this riot, at least more than 2,000 Chinese were attacked and killed. I have their detailed names and family situations here, as well as the actual torture they suffered at that time." The information compiled by the officer was not incomplete. Not only did the information include the names and addresses of all the victims, but also the identification of the injuries on the victims. Everyone in the observation group felt their scalps tingle when they saw it. The appearance of the observation team completely confirmed that the Chinese in Indonesia were being excluded and persecuted, and the foreign journalists among them published a large number of photos and texts.
The countries that were still blaming China now have become honest now, because no matter who they are, they will immediately hate Indonesia when they see the photos and reports published by those reporters. The public opinion war was only Tang Cheng's first-hand preparation. He was hiding in the war zone and commanding the battle, but he did not order to stop all military activities. The Southern Xinjiang Army, which was also broken into pieces, used the same small forces to teach the Indonesian army a good lesson. The Indonesian government has yet to respond to the many requests made by Tangcheng, and Tangcheng is not in a hurry at all.
Originally, the Indonesian government thought that Tangcheng would not fight with them for a long time, but what they didn't know was that Tangcheng had planned to use this opportunity to arrange for all the troops in southern Xinjiang to come over in turn to fight with the Indonesian army. Overkill. Tangcheng planned to use the Indonesian army as a whetstone and let all the troops in southern Xinjiang come to Indonesia in batches, use the Indonesian army with real guns and live ammunition, and use actual combat opportunities to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops in southern Xinjiang.
The Indonesian government, which originally only wanted to divert domestic conflicts and harvest wealth from the Chinese, is really in trouble this time. In their opinion, the request made by Tangcheng was completely nonsense, because it was impossible for them to give such a large amount of compensation. Moreover, Tangcheng also demanded that the direct participants in the riots and the commanders hiding behind the scenes should be punished. The Indonesian government, which knew the inside story, could not agree even more, because the biggest planner of this incident was their president.
Half a month later, Tang Cheng, which had not waited for a response, directly launched a new round of offensive. In just four hours, the well-prepared southern Xinjiang army expanded its control area by more than fifty kilometers under the cover of aircraft and artillery. To capture such a large area of control in four hours is a feat that even the US military cannot achieve 100% of the time. The combat effectiveness of the Southern Xinjiang Army has once again shocked many people who are paying attention to this matter.
Once the Southern Xinjiang Army's attack started, Tang Cheng had no intention of stopping it. All the good news came back to the headquarters like a snowflake, and everyone in the headquarters was overjoyed. The Indonesian military, which was beaten and retreating, had no choice but to send people to contact the Americans. They hoped to get help from the Americans. The previous mediator was the British ambassador, but the Indonesian military felt that the British seemed unwilling to speak for them, so they chose to turn to the United States for support.
The Americans were indeed overbearing in their actions. The American ambassador who rushed to the war zone actually took command of the frontline command of the Southern Xinjiang Army and demanded that the Southern Xinjiang Army stop its offensive immediately. It is a pity that the Southern Xinjiang Army is not the national army that was once dominated by the United States, nor is it the clown-like Indonesian army, so the grumpy American ambassador was directly sent out of the frontline theater by the Southern Xinjiang Army.
The American ambassador, who failed to achieve his goal, had no choice but to turn to the British ambassador, but the British ambassador was not fooled and said that the only one who could break the situation now was the Indonesian government. The Indonesian military, which suffered more than 50,000 casualties and injuries, finally had no choice but to surrender. It not only withdrew most of its troops, but also pressured the government to respond to the southern Xinjiang army. The other party responded that the initiative at the moment was with Tang Cheng. After careful consideration, Tang Cheng agreed to talk.
Tangcheng's demands are still the same as those made last time. The first is to compensate the Chinese community for all losses. Then there is the punishment of all Indonesians who persecute the Chinese. Regardless of whether they are civilian thugs or soldiers fishing in troubled waters, they must be severely punished. The above two can only be regarded as regular requirements. What really dissatisfied the Indonesian government is Tangcheng's last request. The last item proposed by Tangcheng is that the Indonesian government cannot prevent Chinese Indonesians from settling in southern Xinjiang, let alone the transfer of property and industry by Chinese Indonesians.
