Chapter 509: Hard-Fought Battle

At this time within Boni, the atmosphere was tense, and the Presidential Palace of Li Yaohua was brightly lit all night.

Just as Li Yaohua was holding a meeting, an official suddenly walked in, placed a document in front of Li Yaohua with an ugly expression, and said, "Mr. President, this was sent by the Indonesian military!"

Li Yaohua glanced at the document and was so angry he laughed on the spot: "Fine, fine, fine! So this is how they want to play! Since they are looking for death, I won't stop them!"

The officials present passed around the information in the document, their expressions all turning very grim.

Indonesia had almost copied the United States' reasons for invasion, adopting the original version wholesale.

Li Yaohua slapped the table and said loudly: "Since the Indonesians have made up their minds to invade us and plunder our wealth, we cannot sit still and wait for death. Therefore, from this moment on, Boni enters a Level 1 state of alert!"

"The two of you, the front line is left to you!" Li Yaohua then turned his gaze toward Bai Lu and Lao E.

Lao E nodded and said, "No problem!"

Li Yaohua himself did not know how to fight, but he had witnessed the heaven-defying abilities of these few subordinates of Chen Jiajun and the formidable combat power of those young demon slaves.

So he very confidently handed the battlefield directly over to them.

As for himself, besides needing to soothe the emotions of the domestic populace, he also needed to find a way to create some noise internationally.

Once the Indonesians were crippled, the whole world should begin to recognize the existence of Boni anew.

At the Boni border, quite a few troops had already assembled here.

An officer from the Su Family's army faction arrived here with his motorcycle advance team.

The remaining transport vehicles were still continuously transporting military forces toward the border.

Because of the large number of Chinese fleeing to Boni, the Su Family had no one left to scapegoat.

So the Indonesian President Suharto set his sights on Boni.

Suharto was a man of great ambition; he had previously set his sights on Malaysia, intending to build Indonesia into a massive alliance in Southeast Asia to gain significant international influence.

Such an ambitious person was naturally not well-received by Malaysia.

So before Suharto could make a move, Malaysia contacted Yingjili and directly extinguished Suharto's ambition in the cradle.

With subsequent developments, Boni rose abruptly, relying on the investments brought by Chen Jiajun, the powerful manufacturing system built by Lao Jin, and Boni's significant number of oil fields, becoming the wealthiest country in the region.

Great powers might not care about Boni's wealth, as its scale was limited after all.

But for a country like Indonesia, where the economic and financial system had collapsed and there was no basic stability for daily necessities, this was a piece of fat that made one drool.

It just so happened that Suharto discovered that after the Chinese in Indonesia saw the situation was wrong, they fled with their families to Boni, so he could use this excuse to launch a war against Boni.

In Suharto's view, Boni was merely a tiny place that could be taken in one strike.

So he specifically sent his confidant from the army faction, who was also a member of their Su Family, Su Yizi, to Kalimantan Island, preparing to invade the heartland of Boni directly.

There were three forces on Kalimantan Island: Boni, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

And Indonesia was the largest force, so it could quickly assemble a large number of troops to press the border.

Su Yizi was the supreme commander of this force. Looking at the Boni border defenses in the distance, he said to his adjutant, "Has the notification been sent out?"

"It has been sent, sir!" the adjutant said hesitantly, "But the other side only sent a message saying they do not allow us to approach!"

Su Yizi gave a cold snort: "That is not up to them. Did the reconnaissance unit confirm the number of border guards?"

"It should be fewer than five hundred people!" the adjutant said hurriedly.

"With so few people, they dare to block us? Notify the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions; upon receiving the order, launch an attack on the Boni border defenses simultaneously. I want to wipe out their border defense system at the fastest speed!" Su Yizi issued the order directly.

The adjutant nodded and soon summoned the battalion-level units under his command to hold a meeting and formulate an operational plan.

Su Yizi wanted to emulate the Soviet Union's tactics from World War II, launching a deep-penetration offensive with an absolute numerical advantage.

He attempted to weaken Boni's vital forces in the fastest way possible, and even went so far as to deploy the air force for this purpose.

One hour later, the battle began directly.

The first to enter the fray was the Indonesian air force's bomber unit.

Indonesia's source of weapons was mainly discarded items from the United States and France.

These things were already "old antiques" to the United States, but to these small countries, they were still absolute sharp weapons.

For example, the B-17 Bomber sent by the Indonesian air force intended to tear open a gap in Boni's border defenses at the first opportunity, followed by a full-scale attack by multiple battalion-level units.

The B-17 flew over the battlefield with a whistling sound, heading straight for Boni's border defenses; the objective was very clear.

But clearly, they made a mistake, a fatal mistake.

They underestimated Boni's formidable strength in firepower.

On the Boni side, watching the strange sounds coming from the distant sky, Lao E smiled slightly and said to Bai Lu, "Just as expected!"

Red light radiated from Bai Lu's eyes, and she licked her lips, saying, "I've been wanting to try these big steel guys for a long time."

Lao E nodded: "Then let's give these Indonesians a taste of what we've got!"

Following Lao E's order, many soldiers at the Boni border defense directly tore off the camouflage they had prepared long ago.

Then, long, slender gun barrels radiating a cold light were revealed.

The M1931 76mm anti-aircraft gun was equipment Chen Jiajun imported from the Soviet army; there were thirty in total, with additional searchlights, sound locators, and other supporting instruments, at a unit price of no more than twenty thousand dollars.

And these 30 anti-aircraft guns became the nightmare of the B-17s on the Indonesian side.

Following Bai Lu's order, all the surrounding searchlights were turned on, illuminating the night sky as if it were broad daylight. They quickly discovered the B-17s preparing to launch a surprise attack in the night.

Immediately after, more than 30 artillery pieces opened fire directly.

The deafening sound of the cannons merged into one, and the dense firepower directly covered the entire airspace.

Before the terrified eyes of the Indonesian troops, the B-17 was hit in the wing mid-air, and then, like a bird with broken wings, it plunged straight down.

This sudden turn of events left the Indonesian military completely dumbfounded.

Especially Su Yizi, watching the B-17 in the distance crash and explode into a fireball, and the coordinating air force being annihilated one by one, his expression could not have been uglier.

The opening move was not a success; instead, they were ambushed by Boni, which was simply intolerable.

Su Yizi said coldly: "How did the Information Department and the reconnaissance unit do their jobs? Such important information was never reported!"

The adjutant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; he simply did not dare to tell Su Yizi the truth.

Whether it was the spies, Information Officers, or reconnaissance units sent by the Indonesian military, they would vanish without a trace as soon as they entered the territory of Brunei, and not a single piece of intelligence had ever been sent back.

However, the person in charge deceived his superiors and concealed the truth from his subordinates, merely reporting Brunei's old defensive deployments upward, without having investigated even a shred of Brunei's current border defense situation.

Su Yizi said coldly, "Having committed such an error, you had best go and explain it to the Air Force department yourselves!"

Su Yizi was now also in a dilemma; his side had lost a bomber and multiple coordinated fighter jets, and this kind of loss had already exceeded the range he could bear.

Moreover, Suharto had issued a death order for him to take down Brunei.

For this reason, even with the Indonesian domestic economy on the verge of collapse, a large number of troops had been assembled for him; this war had to be fought whether he liked it or not.

After remaining silent for only a moment, Su Yizi said to the adjutant, "Continue the offensive; I do not believe that a tiny Brunei is such a hard bone to chew."

The adjutant nodded and took out the radio to notify the frontline troops to continue launching the attack.

The center of Kalimantan Island is mountainous, while the surroundings are plains.

Brunei and Indonesia happen to be located in a section with many mountains, so land combat weapons like tanks are clearly not suitable for the terrain of Kalimantan Island, which is why they were replaced by more flexible Armored Vehicles.

With the launch of the full-scale offensive, Brunei's border defenses were under attack everywhere.

In terms of numbers alone, Brunei certainly could not compare to Indonesia.

However, the military hardware that Chen Jiajun purchased from the Soviet Union once again demonstrated the status and practical value they ought to have.

The D-44 85mm divisional cannons began to show their power; the massive shells were not only capable of blasting directly through armored units, but were also able to teach the attacking Indonesian troops a harsh lesson.

These big, clumsy, and crude things from the Soviet Union had, at this moment, directly become the MVP.

Especially under the operation of the strong imp slaves, they even managed to force artillery pieces that required five people to operate into being handled by just two.

The numerous and powerful artillery pieces had almost plowed the ground over once.

This caused the Indonesian offensive momentum to come to a sudden halt.

Looking at the battlefield where shells were raining down before his eyes, Su Yizi could not help but slam the table and curse, "A bunch of bastards! When I return, all of these people will face a military tribunal."

The adjutant knew that Su Yizi was talking about the reconnaissance units and the Information Department, but since Su Yizi was in a fit of rage, he simply did not dare to say anything more.

Su Yizi took a deep breath and said, "Send out the mountain motorcycle units; you must destroy these artillery pieces of Brunei!"

A battle that should have been simple had resulted in huge losses due to the failures of the Information Department and the reconnaissance units; Su Yizi had no choice but to send out his motorcycle units.

This mountain motorcycle unit was a Special Forces unit under Su Yizi, specifically responsible for mountain combat missions.

Originally, Su Yizi had intended to use this Special Forces unit as a sharp blade to thrust directly into the hinterland of Brunei.

But in the current situation, if Brunei's numerous artillery pieces were not destroyed, this battle would be impossible to fight.

These wealthy folks of Brunei were just too damn rich; they were equipped with nothing but Ching Yee Sik Soviet main battle equipment, which looked exceptionally terrifying when brought out.

Upon hearing Su Yizi's order, the adjutant immediately notified the Special Forces to prepare for action.

Subsequently, the roar of engines rang out, and a group of mountain Special Forces rushed out of the camp at top speed, charging directly toward Brunei's artillery positions.

The mission they had to perform was to blow up these terrifying artillery pieces of Brunei.

Therefore, everyone carried a pack of TNT on their person.

As the motorcycle Special Forces approached, the artillery position overseen by Bai Lu immediately discovered this high-speed Special Forces unit attacking.

This was a head-on battle, with bayonets drawn and blood spilled.

However, for the imp slaves, this intensity of war was practically a drizzle.

Many imp slaves even took the initiative to stand in front of the highly mobile motorcycle Special Forces unit and engaged in a direct exchange of fire with them.

The submachine guns in the hands of the motorcycle riders poured bullets onto the imp slaves on the front line like splashing water.

But they soon discovered in despair that these soldiers of Brunei were clearly different from ordinary soldiers.

Not only were they all tall and sturdy, but they were also wearing heavy full-body armor.

The power of the submachine gun bullets was simply insufficient to break through the defenses of the imp slaves.

Instead, the counterattacks of the imp slaves were able to take out quite a few members of the Special Forces directly.

Fortunately, the Commander of this Special Forces unit was no fool.

Seeing that a head-on confrontation could not cause any damage to the imp slaves, they simply relied on their high mobility to bypass the interception of the imp slaves, and after flanking their route, continued to charge straight for the artillery positions.

The goal of their unit was not to kill the enemy, but to destroy those terrifying artillery pieces of Brunei. (End of chapter)
