"They robbed our land and plundered our money. We didn't say anything, but the greedy Chinese were not satisfied. Now how do they repay us?"
"These vampires from China have not only robbed all our property, but now they want to impose high tax rates on us and enslave us and our descendants for generations. We will never agree."
In this massive demonstration and turmoil, some young people were particularly eye-catching. They either stood on carriages or walked on the streets and shouted loudly. They constantly aroused people's emotions and encouraged people to vent their hatred towards the Chinese.
dissatisfaction.
They are the "Islamic Alliance" on Java Island. This is a nationalist alliance with nearly one million people, mainly workers and farmers, with a broad popular base. Their original goal is to drive away the Dutch colonists.
Strive for Indonesian literacy.
On many occasions, they agitated people to oppose the Dutch rulers, fight for the literacy and freedom of Guawa, and condemned the Dutch's criminal colonialism.
The Chinese on Wa Island are the lackeys of the Dutch colonialists.
Among this group of people, there is a middle-aged man in his forties who is particularly eye-catching. He is wearing a black suit that is rarely seen among Indonesian indigenous people and a pair of glasses. His name is Qinbada. As an Islamic
The head of the Surabaya branch of the Alliance, Qin Bada, is very keenly aware that this incident of tax collection by the Chinese may be a good opportunity for East India to strive for national literacy or at least autonomy.
"Originally we thought that we could only gain real freedom by driving away the Dutch rulers. Now that the Dutch are gone, the more brutal Chinese people have come. They have enacted more harsh taxes than the Dutch. This is to destroy us.
Why are the Chinese getting richer and richer while we are getting poorer? It is because of the endless oppression of these greedy vampires that we have no food to eat and no clothing to cover our bodies. The root of all this is the greedy heart of the Chinese.
It's causing trouble"
These so-called Javanese nationalists are jealous of the economy and achievements of Chinese businessmen from the bottom of their hearts. They forget that while they are lazily basking in the sun, the Chinese are working hard in salt fields, rice fields, rubber plantations, and small factories. While the indigenous people are squandering
Despite their limited property, the Chinese are saving their savings bit by bit.
In history, whenever there was a conflict between the Guawa people and the Dutch colonists, the Guawa people would always use the Chinese as a punching bag, rob the Chinese shops, and kill the Chinese. Why didn't the Guawa people deal with the Dutch?
The reason is very simple, because the Chinese here belong to the lowest level of society, and no one will speak for the Chinese. If you don’t bully them, who will you bully?
In the opinion of some ethnic elites on Java Island, provoking the dissatisfaction and emotions of their own people against the Chinese is helpful to the national literacy, so they use the Chinese again and again to vent the dissatisfaction of their own people. Over time, the Chinese
In their hearts, they have become a group that only deserves to be bullied, robbed, and massacred by them. As soon as this tax increase incident occurred, in the eyes of these Indonesian elites, it immediately became a group that once again incited people to vent their animalistic desires and
An excuse for robbery.
It's just that this time, they who pride themselves on being smart have forgotten one thing. Now, this group of people who usually only deserve to be bullied by them in their eyes have their own weapons and possess tyrannical power that they never dreamed of.
In the courtyard of a large house, Zhang Ziheng, the president of the Surabaya Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and dozens of representatives of Chinese businessmen gathered together to discuss how to deal with this sudden crisis.
"Have everyone brought their families and crowds here?" Zhang Ziheng's face was solemn. Although the officers and soldiers outside had repeatedly promised to protect their safety, they still didn't have much confidence in their hearts. After all, Surabaya is a city with
In a large city with more than one million people, it would be very difficult if all the Guawa people rioted.
"Old man, we have moved people to the Chinese neighborhood. It's just that if nearly 100,000 people move to this neighborhood, it won't take long. If it takes a long time, our shops and houses outside will suffer."
The representative of the Famous Chamber of Commerce was very worried. After all, the streets outside were full of rioting natives. Once they started going crazy, he was also worried that the Marines outside would not be able to resist them.
"Yes, there are more than 5,000 soldiers guarding a block as big as ours, but there are more than 70,000 Indonesians outside. We can't really shoot and kill them all, right?"
A young man said with confidence: "Don't worry, the country will not ignore us. The soldiers outside are not holding fire sticks. They were always bullied by the Dutch in the past, and now it is finally our turn."
We feel proud and proud."
"Well, what Xiao Yang said is right. It's just different from the past. There are still more than a dozen of our warships outside. We are afraid that any shops will be destroyed and we can build them again." Several young people are not like the older people next to them.
After considering so many things, their idea is very simple. Now we have our own soldiers to protect us, not like before.
"I hope so" a long sigh came from the crowd.
After burning down the first Chinese shop, the Indonesian indigenous people immediately became as excited as if they had been given blood. As long as everything started, everything happened naturally. Countless indigenous people poured into the shops on the street and started
As a result of looting, the emptied shops began to catch fire. Countless natives carried machetes and iron bars and screamed crazily on the street. The whole Surabaya began to become chaotic. The fire on the street burned those who were burning, killing and looting.
The faces of the Indonesian natives looked particularly ferocious.
"Let's go to the Chinese community and kill all those despicable vampires, including all the women." Someone shouted, and countless people swarmed towards the Chinese community.
There is a proverb in the West, "If God wants to destroy him, he must first make him crazy." While these Indonesian natives were letting out their bestial desires, countless soldiers in black, with the cooperation of tanks and armored vehicles, were surrounding them from all sides.
In the urban area of Surabaya, they encountered a group of thugs carrying large and small bags in their hands. These thugs who were returning home with their loads suddenly saw the army slowly moving towards them and were shocked. Such a situation
They have never encountered it before.
Tieniu stood on the control tower of an armored vehicle. When he saw the chaos on the street, his calm face did not change. He just gently picked up the communicator and said: "Fire."
"Da da da"
There was a rapid burst of submachine gunfire, which seemed to be a signal. Soon, crisp gunshots were heard all around, and a large number of the gangsters who were standing in the street suddenly fell down.
"No, those Chinese people are shooting and killing people." A scream rang out in the crowd, and the crowd suddenly started scurrying around like frightened rats. At first, they wanted to get into the houses next to the street.
, but soon they became desperate, because most of the houses on the street had been set alight by them, and now they only had two choices, either to get into the house and be burned to death by the fire, or to stay on the street and be killed by those
The soldiers who slowly pressed forward shot him to death indiscriminately.
Many people are really filled with regret. Why did they burn down these houses? Wouldn’t it be nice to go home after grabbing things? Now it seems that what they burned was not other people’s houses but their own lives. It turns out that the Chinese people said
It makes sense not to do anything absolutely, but to leave everything on the line.
This time the suppression mission was mainly carried out by the security group led by Tieniu. The guard group of more than 5,000 people, with the cooperation of more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles, slowly pressed in a circle from the periphery of Surabaya City towards the city center. Tieniu
The order was very clear. All Indonesian natives on the street, regardless of whether they were holding finances or weapons, were to be killed on the spot. This order was also clearly issued by Chief Su who was far away in Nanjing.
Su Tong wanted to use this method to tell the indigenous people on this land that we Chinese are also of blood, and our soldiers can also kill people. In view of Tieniu's electronic chip that has no mood swings and is as cold and hard as a stone
Su Tong thought it was most suitable for him to carry out this task with his heart, and to cooperate with a group of the most elite guardsmen who were used to seeing life and death.
"Papa"
The sound of gunfire was dense and orderly, and the roar of tanks slowly came to the city center. The thugs who had been rushing toward the Chinese community with ferocious faces just now were now rushing out like ducks being chased away.
When the blinded thugs attacked the Chinese community, they were mercilessly attacked by the Marines who had been guarding outside. These Marines had already received orders, and they would show no mercy to anyone who dared to attack the Chinese community.
Always shoot and kill
In the crowd, dozens of Indonesian natives surrounded the commander of the operation, "Mr. Qinbada, the Chinese opened fire, we are trapped here, what should we do?"
Qin Bada's face was also full of surprise. The situation this time had obviously exceeded his prediction. He couldn't figure it out. Although the Chinese people had lost some stores, shouldn't they be more responsible for appeasing locals like them?
How could they be so ruthless in killing local Indonesians? Didn't they just burn down a few shops? Didn't they just rob some things? They had done this in the past and nothing happened. Why did they hit a snag this time?
Already
"Bang bang bang click"
Zhang Yanbo put on a new magazine and pulled the bolt to let the bullets go up. There were yellow bullet casings everywhere under his feet. In the past hour or so, he and his companions had fired all ten bullets.
There were multiple magazines, and the ammunition box originally placed next to them was now almost empty. The result in exchange was corpses covering the street more than two hundred meters in front of him.
"Sir, this is simply a massacre," Zhang Yanbo shouted with a complaint as he fired, "Why are these Indonesian monkeys running so hard towards us even though they know they are going to die?"
"That's because there is something even more frightening chasing them behind them." Liu Zhaochen said coldly from the side.
As soon as Liu Zhaochen finished speaking, bursts of gunshots rang out in front, accompanied by bursts of rumbling roars and sharp metal friction sounds. It turned out that soldiers from the guard regiment came from behind with the cooperation of armored vehicles and tanks.
Killed over, under the crushing of these armored combat vehicles and tanks, the corpses blocking the road were crushed to a bloody pulp. The originally dark brown tracks were now completely dyed red, and pieces of meat were twisted into
The stuff that was pressed into paste behind the tracks fell out as the tracks rolled. But this did not slow down the movements of the soldiers of the guard regiment at all. They were still harvesting the lives of the natives in front of them.
"Wow wow!" Seeing such a cruel scene, Zhang Yanbo and many soldiers vomited on the street. Although they were not rookies who had never fought hard battles, this kind of pure killing was the first time for them.
The bloody scene on the road was obviously beyond their tolerance, and many soldiers had to lie down on the street and spit out the food in their stomachs.
But on the other hand, the nerves of the guardsmen in black training uniforms seemed to be made of iron, and they were still chasing the Indonesian natives who were running around with expressionless faces.
November 22, 1941, is a day remembered in the history of Java Island. On this day, the 70,000 natives who participated in the riots in Surabaya City were killed and nearly 60,000 were killed. Their blood
The streets of Surabaya were dyed red. There were so many corpses on the streets that the security team responsible for handling the corpses had to dispatch bulldozers to dig hundreds of large pits in the suburbs of Surabaya to bury the corpses. Later Chinese history
This day is known as "Bleeding Day in Surabaya"
After receiving the news, Su Tong, who was far away in Nanjing, just laughed coldly and ordered the Tieniu Guard Group to rush back to Nanjing immediately, and sent two divisions of local guards to Indonesia to maintain order. If the natives are not honest yet
, he wouldn't mind discussing the issues of survival and destruction with them once again with bayonets and machine guns.
Walking on the path in the back garden of the Presidential Palace, Su Tong asked Jiang Baili beside him, "Mr. Dan Ning, am I too cruel to do this? This time we killed nearly 60,000 people."
Jiang Baili also remained silent, and then smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know whether it's right or not. From a human perspective, what you did was indeed excessive, but this massacre does have a significant impact on our future rule of Indonesia.
It serves as a warning to others, so I don’t know how to evaluate your action."
Su Tong was very silent after hearing this. After a long time, he slowly said: "I ordered this Surabaya incident. I will be responsible for everything. No matter how future generations evaluate me, I still have no regrets. I, Huaxia
The prestige and blood surname have disappeared since the Manchu Tatars entered the country. If this killing can awaken the blood surname of our Chinese nation, it doesn't matter if I, Mr. Su, have this bad reputation."
Contrary to the expectations of Su Tong, Jiang Baili and others, after the news of the Surabaya incident, the domestic media did not pay much attention to the tragedy that occurred in Surabaya. Even if it did, it was only mentioned lightly in the media, at most.
It was only reported that the Chinese Marine Corps quelled a local indigenous riot in Sishui, with no casualties counted. This shocked Chief Su, who was originally prepared to withstand the bombardment of the domestic media.
In fact, since the Opium War, the Chinese people have been oppressed by Western powers for nearly a hundred years. In the past few years, nearly half of China was occupied by the Japanese. The Chinese people have buried this depression and depression deeply in their hearts. In addition, Su Tong
After coming to power, he continued to promote the majesty of the Tang and Han Dynasties in the Chinese period, and then compared it with the oppression the country has suffered in the past hundred years. This strong contrast made the people of the country have an unspeakable fire buried in their hearts. This time Surabaya
After the incident happened, many people secretly rejoiced. In the hearts of many people, the Chinese people looked down on the natives in Nanyang, thinking that they were just a bunch of clowning natives, those foreign nations who refused to accept enlightenment.
If the rioters want to kill them, just kill them. It’s no big deal. Can we still impeach and step down the president for these few ordinary people?
Let’s talk about foreign evaluations of this incident. One week after the Surabaya tragedy, this incident was finally reported to the British media by a Dutch reporter. It did cause quite a stir at first, but after two days
Such news quietly disappeared.
Because at this time, the destroyers and fighter planes donated by the Chinese government to the British had just arrived in London. You can't criticize others after the British took their things for nothing. The saying "taking people with short hands" no matter where in the world
They were all accepted, so this matter was suppressed by the British government. Moreover, at this time, the British were being overwhelmed by the Germans. How could a person who couldn't even eat enough be in the mood?
To pay attention to what happened to an indigenous people thousands of miles away? Besides, the British Empire had done this kind of thing before, so the boss shouldn't laugh at the second.
However, the ones who had the strongest reaction to this incident were the Japanese. Of course, the Japanese government did not care about how many Indonesian natives the Chinese army killed in Surabaya. What they cared about was that the Chinese had begun to expand southward.
This is indeed a big shock to the Japanese, who have always had a strong sense of crisis.
An imperial meeting was quickly held at the Tokyo base camp. All officials and generals, including Emperor Hirohito, believed that the southward advance plan could no longer be delayed. No later than mid-December, the southward advance plan must begin, otherwise
If the aggressive trend of the Chinese government continues, the Japanese Empire's southward expansion plan may still be aborted.
At this imperial meeting, Navy Commander Yamamoto Isoroku personally gave the code name for the southward advance plan. The code name was "Tiger Tiger Tiger"
