On May 15, 1950, at 3 a.m. Malayan time, twenty aircraft of the Malayan Air Force suddenly appeared above the airport in the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta, destroying all more than 30 ragged aircraft in Indonesia on the ground. At 4 a.m., the Malayan National Defense Force, gathered in Singapore, launched a fierce attack on the Indonesian army in Sumatra with a lightning offensive. After the battle began, the Malayan Air Force had absolute air supremacy, and 300 cannons roared together and poured shells on the Indonesian army's positions. Because the Malayan army was well prepared, they launched a confusing operation on Kalimantan Island in advance, which caught the Indonesian army off guard.

At 7:00 am, the Malayan army broke through the Indonesian army's defense line, and with the armored forces as the core, quickly advanced forward under the cover and guidance of the aircraft. At 7:30 am, independent elements in Riau Province began to cooperate in combat. They attacked a small group of Indonesian troops and indicated bombing targets for the Malayan aircraft, causing great passivity for the Indonesian army and affecting the Indonesian army's plan to assemble and organize a new defense line in Beiganaru. At 9:00 am, the Malayan army captured Buadan, and then suddenly went south to attack and advance. Under the guidance of independent elements in Riau Province, they crossed Riau Province and advanced towards Shawaronto with the purpose of cutting off the retreat of the Indonesian army in North Sumatra and annihilated it in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the Malayan army on Kalimantan Island also launched a fierce attack, attacking the West Kalimantan Province in Indonesia, and sent planes to bomb Pontianak, the capital of the West Kalimantan Province. Fighting as quickly as thunder, the Malayan National Defense Forces held its usual fierce style. In more than a year, the Malayan National Defense Forces became a relatively complete army with advanced weapons. Indonesia's frequent wars and feuding Britain and the United States, making the Indonesian army's hardware level far inferior to the Malayan army. Although the total number of Indonesian troops is four times that of the Malayan army, it is scattered in various provinces and its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Malayan army. Compared with Malayan's deliberation, the Indonesian army obviously did not expect the Malayan army to invade Sumatra so rapidly.

On May 16, the Free Aceh organization in Aceh Province began to incite armed riots, attacking fiercely that few Indonesian troops in the province were already left.

On May 17, the Malayan army carried out airborne operations. The Malayan airborne brigade, which had been established for only one year, suddenly appeared in Shawaronto, and defeated the defenders in the area and blocked the Indonesian army's road to the south.

On May 18, with the cooperation of the Air Force, the Malayan Airborne Brigade repelled the Indonesian army and attacked many times in the south, and successfully defended until dusk. Lin Lei

On May 19 and 20, follow-up troops arrived continuously, leaving behind blocking troops, and then headed south in large numbers and began to attack the South Sumatra area violently.

After a brief shock, Indonesia issued a general mobilization order on May 16 and added troops to Sumatra. President Sukarno delivered a speech, calling on the Indonesian people to take action and bravely resist the invasion of Malaya, a lackey and thug of the US imperialist lackey and thug.

Since the war was caused by Indonesia's support for Malay separatists, Indonesia did not receive widespread sympathy internationally. Only the Soviet Union, China, Australia and other countries expressed their support for Indonesia and called on both sides to immediately cease fire and resolve the dispute between the two countries through political means.

Britain and the United States support Malaya's regaining the territory of Northern Kalimantan. But they did not expect Malaya to take such a strong and fierce military action. When the Malayan National Defense Forces invaded Sumatra, they called Wu Ming one after another and expressed concerns about the expansion of the war.

However, just after the Aceh and Riau provinces in Sumatra declared independence on May 20, the attitudes of Britain and the United States changed significantly, and immediately recognized the reality of independence of Aceh and Riau provinces, and expressed admiration and support for the independent choice of the Sumatra people.

"This is the relationship between countries, as easy as a child's face change." Wu Ming waved the American telegram and said with a sneer: "The interests are all for interests. Aceh and Riau provinces have rich oil and gas resources, guarding one end of the Strait of Malacca, and their geographical location is very important. Now they declare their independence themselves, and the United States and Britain can not bear the pressure of international public opinion, so they pounce on them like two mad dogs."

"Don't they have to pass through our level?" Zhao Xiaomei said: "The United States has provided another batch of free military aid and sent a delegation to negotiate joint development matters, which is also a face-saving thing. Unlike the United Kingdom, it is stingy."

"Since that bastard McCarthy came out to make trouble, the situation in the United States is very bad. Thousands of Chinese and Asians have been suspected of being spies. Not only have they been illegally arraigned, they are not allowed to send money to their relatives in China, and they are even prohibited from talking about their hometowns publicly. Many people are imprisoned, expelled and even assassinated for being accused of sympathizing with the Communist Party." Wu Ming lit a cigarette and said slowly in the smoke: "Many Chinese scientists working in the United States have also been arraigned by the FBI, and their national security permits have been revoked. They can no longer continue to engage in research or even work in the laboratory. Taking this opportunity, can we sacrifice some practical interests to help them get out of the predicament."

Zheng Pingru pondered for a moment and said, "You can make a try and persuade them to go to Malaya to hide temporarily. Of course, this requires permission from the US government, and the Immigration Bureau and the FBI will let go."

"Then do it like this!" Wu Ming nodded, "If things go well, provide them with a residence and a research environment. Although they may not necessarily settle in Malaya, they are always Chinese, with the same roots and roots. If you can, please help them."

The war continued, and Indonesia continued to increase its troops to South Sumatra, gathering in Gorabmi, trying to stop the southward momentum of the Malayan army first, and then try to counterattack. Nearly 100,000 Indonesian troops and 30,000 Malayan National Defense Forces set off in Gorabmi on May 23, forming a decisive battle.

On May 24, the Malayan Navy suddenly appeared between South Sumatra and Java, sinking three Indonesian ships, isolating the connection between Java and Sumatra, making Indonesia's army in Sumatra a lonely army.

On May 25, Indonesian President Sukarno angrily claimed that the United States had brazenly dispatched warships and flew the Malayan flag to participate in the military operation to block Sumatra, demanding that the whole world condemn the United States, and demanding that the US warships withdraw from the sea immediately, otherwise they would suffer a heavy blow from Indonesian military and civilians.

The US government flatly denied Indonesia's allegations, reiterated its strict neutrality in the war between Malaysia and India, and expressed regret for the war caused by Indonesia's support for Malayan separatists.

On May 26, the Malayan army began a fierce attack on the Indonesian army under the cover of aircraft, cannons and tanks. Navy ships bombarded Tanjungga in Sumatra and Jakarta in Java, and landed in Tanjungga by 5,000 troops drawn from Kalimantan to conduct landing operations in Tanjungga and began to encircle Indonesian army.

On May 30, the Indonesian army, which had been completely ammunition and rescued, gave up resistance one after another and raised its flag to surrender. The Malayan army began to cooperate with independent elements in Aceh and Riau provinces to sweep away the Indonesian remnants on Sumatra Island.

On June 5, the Malayan army, which had been re-adjusted, launched a powerful offensive again on Kalimantan Island, and divided its troops into three groups to attack the eastern, western and central Kalimantan provinces of Indonesia. Indonesia did not dare to increase its troops because of the Malayan and the US navy, so as not to repeat the tragedy of Sumatra. Although it was so loud that it was defeated continuously and suffered heavy losses, it had no choice but to request international mediation.

On June 15, the Malayan army had occupied most of Kalimantan Island. At the suggestion of the Soviet Union, Australia and other countries, the two sides ceased fire and began negotiations.

After a month of the Horse and India War, Malaya won a great victory. Although there was an American figure in it, the powerful combat power of the Malayan National Defense Forces still made the whole world admire him. With less than 80,000 troops, they galloped across the country and wiped out nearly 200,000 Indonesian troops on Sumatra and Kalimantan, and defeated Indonesia without any power to fight back. It was a huge victory. If it weren't for the ceasefire under international pressure, the Malayan army might have been able to climb Java Island and capture the Indonesian capital Jakarta.

A ceasefire does not mean the end of the war. Malaya has gained huge benefits, and it may be difficult for him to give up easily. Moreover, Sumatra is very important to Malaya. The war-leading place not only controls the Strait of Malacca, but also makes Singapore's science, culture and education center a very safe place, and there is no need to worry about Indonesia's attack from Sumatra. Moreover, after Aceh and Riau are independent, they also hope that the Malayan army can defend South Sumatra and separate the threat from Indonesia.

The consequences of Indonesia's defeat were very serious. The contradiction between the anti-communist military groups and the left-wing forces in China was becoming increasingly acute. An anti-communist and anti-Sukarno coup was secretly brewing within the right-wing military groups in Indonesia. And they began to actively seek external support, and Malaya and the United States naturally became their first choice.

"Don't make a promise and keep in touch." Wu Ming instructed Shenyang: "The time is not yet ripe. We must digest Sumatra as soon as possible. Although Aceh and Riau are independent, the ownership of South Sumatra is still pending. If there is no appropriate reason, the international community will inevitably ask us to return it to Indonesia. This is what we do not want to see. Singapore must have an external barrier."

"The work of replacing residents is intensifying. The residents of South Sumatra either agree with our proposal or move to Aceh and Riau, and the people of Aceh and Riau have begun to concentrate in South Sumatra. Support us is to protect them. They are still clear about this principle." Shenyang replied: "But it takes time, at least two months." One person's anti-Japanese war, Longteng Nanyang Chapter 53 Horse, Indian War
