Chapter 297 If you don’t drink a toast, you’ll have to drink wine as a penalty (fourth update, please subscribe)
In the early morning of the 16th, more than 3,000 Borneo officers and soldiers had entered Batavia by car, and there were many of them. Blonde German soldier.
Facing this unfamiliar army, the citizens had mixed emotions. Especially when they saw those blond and blue-eyed Westerners, their mood became more complicated.
Could it be that the Dutch are back?
But these people did not seem to be carrying the Dutch flag.
Aren't they Dutch?
Suddenly, a man rushed out from the roadside, chasing the convoy and shouted,
"Sir, sir, are you from Borneo?"
The young man who rushed out of the crowd looked at the familiar dragon pattern on the soldier's armband and shouted excitedly.
Although the young man spoke very blunt Mandarin, when he finished speaking, the soldier in the car still answered loudly.
"That's right, we who came from Borneo are all Tang people just like you..."
"They really came from Borneo!"
The streets were quiet for a while , there was a cheer immediately. Batavia itself is a city dominated by Chinese people. People who were standing on the roadside and still a little reserved crowded onto the road one after another, shouting and cheering excitedly.
In this moment, Batavia turned into a boiling ocean. There were cheering crowds everywhere, and compatriots shouting excitedly everywhere. People walked from their homes to the streets, surrounding the soldiers. No matter the elderly or children, whether they could speak Mandarin or not, it did not prevent them from using it. We welcome our compatriots with full enthusiasm.
No matter where they come from, their blood is connected!
Connected by blood!
Just like that, that's enough.
Some people are happy and some are sad. While the compatriots are cheering for the arrival of their compatriots, the enthusiasm has long faded away inside and outside the courtyard where nearly a thousand people have gathered. In the air, there are psychological warfare broadcasts. Planes were circling, not only that, but there were also dozens of B24 bombers roaring through the sky, seeming to remind people on the ground what kind of blow they would suffer if they dared to resist.
Hundreds of tons of bombs will fall, leveling entire cities to the ground. No, to be precise, some parts of the city!
"Hada..."
Sugaruo looked at Hada, opened his lips, and looked a little nervous.
"The Allies are coming!"
"Yes, the Allies are coming..."
Looking at the plane in the sky, the two people made a statement almost at the same time Decision - leave Batavia!
Only God knows what will happen next. When the attitude of the Allies is unclear, they do not want to enjoy the "enthusiasm" of the Allies.
After all, they are all Japanese collaborators.
If they were allowed to experience Japanese enthusiasm, it would be all over.
One minute and twenty-two seconds!
What is this?
It is the time it takes for a country from its birth to its demise.
In just one minute and twenty-two seconds, the farce ended.
Of course, the farce was not completely over, although they could no longer use Japanese press and telegraph facilities to spread the news of the announcement across Java, as planned, and broadcast the news on the radio.
But they still use various methods to tell people that the country has gained independence.
Although the effect is much worse, it will still be effective.
As a former occupying force, the commander of the 16th Army, Yuichiro Nagano, whose chief of staff was Major General Shigeichiro Yamamoto and other Japanese officers, were waiting for the arrival of the Allied forces in the former Governor's Mansion.< br>
"Your Excellency, are we just going to hand over this place to the Chinese?"
"It's Borneo."
Facing the doubts of his subordinates, Nagano Yuichiro said.
“This is the order of Commander Ban Heng. There are more than 3 million Tang people and 60 million indigenous people living here. Plus the Dutch want to return here. They will definitely kill each other. This is undoubtedly extremely beneficial to Japan after the war. "
When he said these words, Nagano Yuichiro was still very worried. After all, they had presided over major inspections and roundups of overseas Chinese. Tens of thousands of overseas Chinese were killed.
Now, will they take revenge?
The answer is yes. If they have taken appropriate measures, for example, those soldiers with Tang people's blood on their hands have left the army, they can join the Javanese armed forces and fight for Java's independence. In fact, they are just taking refuge.
At this moment, a tank roared into the Governor's Mansion and directly knocked open the beautiful Western-style wrought iron gate of the Governor's Mansion.
A group of officers, led by Yuichiro Nagano, stood in the courtyard, waiting for the upcoming surrender.
At this time, several jeeps and trucks drove into the Governor's Mansion, and then a lieutenant colonel jumped out of the car. Wang Zhihao glanced at the group of Japanese generals in front of him. At this time, his heart was calm. Then he turned his attention to the photographer aside. German photographer Hank had been following them throughout the whole process. He faithfully recorded this victory.
The Japanese officers had already set up a long table in the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion. The table was covered with white cloth. They stood to the north of the table, about five or six meters away. When Wang Zhihao was about to walk to the table, a Japanese major came running over and said.
"Your Excellency, welcome to your arrival. General Nagano Yuichiro and his generals have been waiting for a long time!"
After saying that, the major pointed to the south side of the table. said.
“Now the ceremony can begin!”
A group of Japanese army and navy generals, headed by Nagano Yuichiro, took two steps forward, lined up in two lines, and bowed slightly.
"Welcome, Your Excellency!"
Looking at the Japanese general standing on the north side of the table, and then looking at the position on the south side, Wang Zhihao took out the P38 from the holster without even thinking about it. Before anyone could react, he raised the pistol and pointed it at the major's head. When the Japanese major was stunned and didn't know why.
"Bang!"
With the sound of a gunshot, there was a sudden panic in the Governor's Mansion. The Japanese soldiers around him were just about to take action when they realized that none of them were carrying weapons. The weapons were all according to orders. were concentrated in the yard.
The machine gunners on the tanks and jeeps pointed their MG42s at the Japanese troops in the yard at the moment the gunshots were fired. Other soldiers also raised their STG44s. As long as these Japanese devils dared to move, there would be a river of blood.
"Baba, Baga..."
Although the Japanese Japs all looked like they were gnashing their teeth, Wang Zhihao glanced at the Japs Major on the ground who was still staring at death, and said coldly.
"What kind of thing, at this time, is still playing tricks, in the East, respecting the north, forgetting the rules! Who will die if you don't die!"
After saying that, he cast his eyes on Manmian The stunned Lieutenant General Nagano Yuichiro said in Chinese.
"What's the matter? Do you want me to teach you the rules?"
Yuichiro Nagano, who was aware of his little subtlety, quickly bowed again.
"Sir, I'm very sorry, we made a mistake."
After apologizing, he said in blunt Chinese.
"Your Excellency, please come this way!"
What does it mean to drink wine as a penalty if you don’t eat when toasting?
This is a penalty for not eating the toast!
Yuichiro Nagano hurriedly led everyone to stand at the south of the long table. At a distance of two feet to the south of the table, Yuichiro Nagano said.
“Hello, I am Yuichiro Nagano, Commander of the 16th Army of the Imperial Japanese Army!”
“Hello, Wang Zhihao, the commissioned demoted officer of the Borneo Theater of the Pacific Allied Forces Command! ”
Bowing again, Yuichiro Nagano held out his command sword with both hands and said his final words.
"According to the order of His Excellency His Excellency Juichi Terauchi, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army, except for the officers' sidearms and military police firearms, all other weapons have been sealed in place! Now, please accept my surrender!"
Yuichiro Nagano, who bowed slightly and held the command sword in his hand, was waiting for the other party to receive the command sword, but saw that the other party was standing there motionless, just staring with cold eyes.
Nagano Yuichiro stood two feet away from the table and stretched his hand slightly forward. His hand only just passed the table. If Wang Zhihao took over the command knife at this time, he would be bowing to Nagano, the old devil!
These little devils have no memory!
"General Nagano, at this time, there is no point in playing tricks."
Wang Zhihao said after breaking through the opponent's thoughts with one word.
"You can hold the knife, or you can refuse to surrender. I think we... don't mind!"
The seemingly light words made Nagano Yuichiro's heart tremble. How could Yuichiro Nagano, who had been fighting in China from 1937 to 1944, not know the meaning of the other party's words? He, who was still playing tricks, once again bowed deeply to ninety degrees, holding the command knife with both hands forward. said.
"Now, please accept my surrender!"
