Chapter 750 Seizing Batavia
"Let's go quickly. It will be too late if we don't leave now. They have been deceiving us all along. The ships carrying these aren't civilian supplies, but weapons and equipment. They have already occupied the port."
After hearing what Halink said, Governor Mandlake was dumbfounded. He was so happy that Li Shaoyi and the others were about to leave that he even planned to hold a grand banquet to have some fun after they left.
He has really fallen from heaven to earth now. Let alone holding a banquet to celebrate, he even wants to die. He, a governor, has such a mentality, let alone other people. Even if they were originally wary of Li Shaoyi and others, the laxity from top to bottom has made those vigilance disappear.
Just when the Governor was trying to get his pants back, explosions were heard one after another outside, and at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, various light and heavy machine guns were firing. The Governor remembered very clearly that there were only two heavy machine guns on the Governor's Mansion side, and there was not so much automatic firepower at all, which meant that these things were all from the enemy.
"Now how to do?"
Governor Mandrake had never encountered such a situation. Since the day he took office, the entire Batavia was extremely safe. Even if it seemed dangerous from the outside, it was a riot directed by him specifically targeting Chinese property. Similar things never happened in places where Westerners lived, but today's situation scared him directly.
"Go to the fort. Our elite troops are still there, and the fort is still in our hands."
Halink is indeed an elite among him. If he is not the captain of the guard, he can be a regimental commander or a brigade commander without any problem. But at this moment, he has no time to say so much. He must hurry up and leave here. The area around the Governor's Mansion is in chaos.
When Halink rushed downstairs with the Governor, the gate of the Governor's Mansion was about 700 meters in front of them. At this moment, it had been smashed by armored vehicles, and was full of Windmill Kingdom soldiers and some servants of the Governor's Mansion.
"Where did they get the armored vehicles?"
When the Governor saw the heavy armored vehicle, his eyes widened. The power of this thing was so strong that even the iron gate at the gate could not withstand it and was directly knocked open.
There are two high platforms nearby, on which are two heavy machine guns. According to what the Governor had thought before, if anyone dared to attack the Governor's Mansion, these two heavy machine guns would take their lives. No matter how many people came, as long as there was a supply of bullets, killing them would be a piece of cake.
But the situation is different now. The rioters you hoped for did not come. All that came were the Marines of the 72nd Army. Each of them was like a little tiger. Moreover, they did not come on foot. They all came in armored vehicles and jeeps. Your heavy machine gun was no match for them.
Just now when we were outside, the enemy's heavy machine guns blocked the way. Several soldiers on the platform were killed in the first time. The two heavy machine guns were silenced. Then the armored vehicles rushed over quickly and the gate did not hold for a second.
Harlink was no longer bothered to answer the questions. He originally thought that his men could buy them some time, but now it seemed impossible. Riding in a car would make them too conspicuous, so Harlink found a few war horses and escorted the Governor towards the artillery position.
In addition to the elite troops at the fort, there are two lines of defense on the road. It is the most important place in the entire Batavia, even more important than the Governor's Palace. Generally, the army of the Windmill Kingdom is not allowed to go to the fort without permission.
"Blow them up, blow them up for me, order the batteries to fire."
On the way of escape, the Governor suddenly remembered a fatal thing. Just now when he was in the Governor's Mansion, he should have given orders to the artillery, asking them to fire as soon as possible.
But at this moment, they had already run out of the Governor's Mansion, and there was no communication equipment on the road. Halink also hit his head hard. He was so busy running away that he forgot the most important thing and made such a big noise. If we want to get through to the task, we must make Li Shaoyi suffer losses as well.
"Let's run there first. It'll only take ten minutes."
Halink thought for a moment and said that they would soon be able to reach the stronghold at the foot of the Fort Hill, where there was a telephone. It would be the same to issue orders from there, and there was no need to return to the Governor's Mansion.
Although Mandrake was not satisfied, he looked back in the direction of the Governor's Mansion. The building was filled with shouting sounds. His beautiful women should now be the property of the Chinese.
But now is not the time to be gentle. He must run to the artillery position and order the people on the artillery position to fire. After blowing up their warships, perhaps these people will know how to negotiate. At dawn tomorrow, coupled with the threats from the Windmill Kingdom and the interference of Western countries, the Governor believes that he can still regain control.
These damn Chinese people caused a conflict when they came, and in the following days, they were like docile kittens, doing nothing and deceiving me and other people. Now, someone so fierce has come.
Just as they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was no explosion or fire from the entire mountain, which meant that everything from the foot of the mountain to the top was still in our hands.
"Where are the officers on duty? The Governor is here, get up right now! Don't you even bother to check what's happening in the direction of the Governor's Mansion? You're just sleeping, you idiots."
Harlink jumped off his horse, his anger reaching its peak. "What a raging battle it is in the distance, and you guys haven't even turned on the lights here? Are you really putting yourself out of the picture?" "Even though I gave you the order to guard the fort and not do anything else, you should have called and asked."
"Sir, we are not just sleeping. We just finished the battle here. Where is the Governor? We have been waiting for him for a long time."
When the lights in the room came on, Harlink was stunned. Wasn't the man in front of him a Chinese officer? He had met him before with the Governor-General. He seemed to be the head of the Marine Corps. His name was Qian something.
But the name is not important anymore...
