The Republic of Lanfang accused Japan of increasing troops to Borneo as an act of invasion, while the Japanese government claimed that the strength of Indonesia's xenophobic army was unexpectedly strong, and a division could not maintain the security of the vast number of Japanese expatriates. The large-scale increase in troops was still an act of protecting overseas Chinese.

Moreover, the Japanese government made the news that the Seventh Regiment of the Ninth Division was wiped out, pointing out that powerful troops must be sent to eliminate the cruel and hateful Indonesian xenophobic army in order to ensure the safety of expatriates from all over the world in Borneo.

After the announcement of this news, Japan received support from a lot of public opinion as it wished.

At the same time, Japanese Foreign Minister Sutaro Komura's soft words were rarely asked by the government of the Republic of Lanfang to maintain restraint and not to be hostile to the Japanese army who came to help.

The Japanese army will not take the initiative to attack the territory of the Lanfang Republic, but if the Lanfang Republic dares to send troops to intervene at this critical moment, the powerful Japanese Navy and Army will never swallow their anger.

Foreign Minister Sumataro Komura used both soft and hard work, which immediately left the diplomats of the Lanfang Republic speechless, and could only keep warning the Japanese army not to enter the territory of the Lanfang Republic. After destroying the Indonesian xenophobic army, the Japanese army would withdraw from Borneo.

On December 23, 1908, the 17th Japanese Division, which had already been assembled, set off on a troop transport ship under the escort of the Second Navy Fleet and headed for Pontianak first.

At the same time, the 3rd Japanese Division also began to assemble. On January 7, the 3rd Division, led by the division commander Lieutenant General Watanabe, also took a warship to leave Japan for Pontianak.

...

At around 2 p.m. on December 26, 1908, 230 miles north of Pontianak, Borneo, outside Yongnan Town, the territory of the Lanfang Republic, many elite soldiers wearing green military uniforms came.

After these soldiers set up camp in the shade of a hill outside the town, they welcomed a group of soldiers in the same clothes. The soldiers led by Chen Hao, the chairman of the Liberation Party and the supreme commander of the People's Liberation Army.

In order to put pressure on the Japanese army, the three mountain troops of the First Corps had more than 70,000 people heading towards Pontianak in the name of defending the land from invasion.

At the same time, more than 20,000 newly formed guards also followed secretly. Chen Hao also ordered Zheng Tiehao, "Gun God" Ma Zhengyu, Xia Xingshuo and others to lead a special force of more than 3,000 people to secretly enter South Borneo and join the Sino-Indian reorganized division, preparing to give a ruthless blow to the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, which launched another attack.

After Chen Haobu's game for so long, he finally had the opportunity to beat Japan. Of course, he would not stay at the base camp.

After handing over the important task of controlling and commanding the overall situation to Lin Juemin again, Chen Hao personally led the corps headquarters of the First Corps to the front line of Pontianak.

With Chen Hao, in addition to Huo Yuanjia and Huang Yunya, who had just married Chen Hao, there were Xia Xingyu, deputy commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army and political commissar of the First Corps, Li Wei, commander of the First Corps, deputy political commissar and deputy commander-in-chief of the "Saiyuan" Tang Jianhai, chief of staff Ye Lisen and others.

After sitting down, everyone was drinking tea and listening to the staff officer reporting on the situation of the Japanese army. Knowing that the 17th Japanese Division had set out to Borneo, the 3rd Japanese Division was already gathering and on standby. Everyone was ready to go and talked.

Since it was not a military conference, the new deputy commander of the Guard Army, Lu Liwei, took the lead and said: "Principal, our army has not experienced a real war so far. After the three Japanese divisions arrived, is it our turn to fight a few battles and destroy these three divisions first, showing the strength of our People's Liberation Army."

Chen Hao smiled but said nothing.

"Saiyuan" Tang Jianhai said: "Deputy Commander Lu, the principal has done so much work to attract more Japanese troops to eliminate the vitality of the Japanese army. If the three divisions that came to Borneo were wiped out at once, would other Japanese troops dare to continue to come to Borneo?"

"That's right." Lu Liwei showed a disappointed look and sighed: "It's still the Chinese-Indian reorganization division that was satisfied. After fighting a few battles, he killed a Japanese corps. Alas, even the Chinese-Indian reorganization division without heavy weapons can easily destroy a Japanese corps. In this way, they may even destroy a Japanese division."

After a pause, everyone, including Chen Hao, was listening to their opinions with their ears. Lu Liwei was excited and said loudly: "From my Lu Dabang, the little Japanese army is nothing more than that. As long as we destroy the Japanese fleet, our People's Liberation Army can take a warship, enter Tokyo, Japan, and attack Huanglong."

"Oh," Li Wei, commander of the First Corps, sighed: "Deputy Commander Lu, what you said makes sense. Our People's Liberation Army has very strong strength. Unfortunately, our naval fleet does not even have a shadow yet. How can we destroy the Japanese fleet?

Therefore, at this stage, we can only attract Japanese troops to come and destroy a few more divisions. When our own fleet returns from the United States to train and destroy the Japanese fleet in the future, it will be easier to enter Japan."

After hearing what Lu Liwei and Chen Wei said, the PLA officers talked about it. Even the Chinese-Indian reorganized division of the partial division defeated the Japanese army's main force. Then, the main force of the PLA will definitely be irresistible to Japan.

If the PLA's navy is better than the Japanese army, with the powerful PLA's army, it will definitely be able to gallop across Japan and capture the Japanese Meiji Emperor alive.

Chen Hao couldn't bear to listen. Since the good news that the Chinese-Indian reorganized division destroyed the Seventh Regiment of the Japanese Army, the officers of the main force of the People's Liberation Army were filled with a tendency to be proud and complacent and despise the Japanese army. This attitude is very undesirable.

Chen Hao winked at Xia Xingyu who had communicated with him. Xia Xingyu coughed and said loudly: "Everyone, you underestimate the Japanese army too much."

Seeing Xia Xingyu talking with a cold face, everyone calmed down.

Then, Xia Xingyu presented facts and reasoned, pointing out that the reason why the Chinese-Indian reorganized division was able to defeat the Japanese army was mainly due to the tactics of bullying the few with more and sneak attacks. Moreover, the Japanese army was not familiar with the terrain, and its officers were careless, so they were defeated by the Chinese-Indian reorganized division.

Even so, the casualties of the Chinese-Indian reorganized division were not inferior to those of the Japanese army. This shows that the Japanese army's combat power is very strong.

Now that the Japanese army has learned a lesson, they will definitely deal with it seriously next. If the officers of the People's Liberation Army are also complacent and despised the enemy, they will inevitably suffer setbacks in the future.

Then, Chen Hao also gave a lesson, pointing out that the Japanese army is the strongest army in Asia and must not be underestimated. Moreover, for the PLA officers, this is a rare opportunity to train troops and should be seized.

In fact, according to the battle situation report of the Chinese-Indian reorganized division, Chen Wei, Sai Yuan, Tang Jianhai and others also knew in their hearts that the Japanese army was very strong.

It was only when they saw that the Chinese-Indian reorganized division, which was far inferior to the main force of the People's Liberation Army, defeated the Japanese army without even the equipment of Maxim heavy machine guns, that they suddenly became proud and complacent.

Now, he has been taught and enlightened by Chen Hao and Xia Xingyu, Chen Wei, Sai Yuan” Tang Jianhai and others quickly expressed that they would definitely correct their mentality and in the next battle, they would fight with the Japanese army with all their might and would never underestimate the Japanese army...
