The Grassland Alliance Invasion Part 10
Not long after, the moral spirit of the alliance army surged as they rearranged the formation and stepped towards Maspion. The 3rd Division moved quickly, traversing day and night, and finally reaching Maspion in the morning. Luck also sided with them, as at the same time, the alliance forces launched an attack on Pamong Wetan Camp. Jaka Sambung, the Chief of Maspion, had received the news and welcomed them with open arms.
The core members gathered in the meeting hall of Manor. In addition to generals, independent regimental colonels, major city protection units, and Jaka Sambung attended the meeting. Due to the emergency situation, after Jayakalana gave a rough idea, an emergency was declared.
"Based on wartime rule, as the main general of Pamong Wetan Camp and as the supreme commander of the eastern region, please accept my orders. The independent Maspion regiment and the city protection unit are now under the 3rd division" Jayakalana said.
"Yes, Commander!" the two generals replied as they stepped forward to receive orders.
Jayakalana nodded her head, then looked at Jaka Jambung while saying, "Pak Sembung, this is an emergency, so that all people, regardless of age or gender, must obey military orders."
"No problem!" jaka replied firmly.
At the beginning of the Battle of Java, the houses had received a level one memorial from the Ruler's Residence. The intelligent Jaka Jambung has already started preparing for combat logistics.
"The most important thing now is to announce the recruitment, to recruit all the young men into the reserve force so that they can help us defend this area" Jaka said.
"General, don't worry. Everyone here has the same goal!" said Jaka Connect with great confidence.
"Alright, time is precious, let's get ready!" exciting Jayakalana.
"Yes!" answer them with passion.
After the meeting ended, the region became busy. With more preparations completed, they would lose fewer lives in the future. The mountain barbarians were known to thirst for bloodshed, and when the call to war was announced, hundreds or even thousands of mountain barbarian youths registered.
The 3rd Division was made up entirely of barbarian mountain warriors. Their elite equipment, abundant salaries, and high status made them admired by all the barbarian youths in the mountains. They were looking forward to joining the army and getting that chance.
Suddenly, the entire Maspion came alive and was filled with excitement.
******************
Although they knew that the flags of the 2nd division hung on the walls of Kebonagung, they realized that the division consisted of a cavalry force that was not very effective in defending the territory. Moreover, they have not attacked Kebonagung and the region has low strategic value. On the other hand, the ambition of the IKN Alliance was to seize Java Dwipa as a whole, and to make it happen, they had to destroy the Stone of Inscription in the Residence of the Ruler of Java Dwipa.
Therefore, Wijiono Manto did not want to spend his troops to attack Batih Ageng. He wanted to persuade Tipukhris to attack Java Dwipa together. Although the entire IKN Alliance was involved in this operation and this was teamwork, Wijiono Manto still acted selfishly. According to his thinking, if they could seize Java Dwipa together with the prairie alliance before the arrival of Roberto and Lotu Wong, it would be an incredible feat for him. He dreams of becoming a bright star, both in the IKN Alliance and in the Indonesian Region.
With such selfish thoughts in mind, Wijiono Manto annoys Tipukhris and makes many tempting promises to persuade him. However, they did not realize that the current Kebonagung was an empty territory. Raden Partajumena has devised an ingenious plan by placing the empty city under the nose of the alliance army. When he gave a defensive role to the region, the 2nd division was secretly hiding in the Javanese barracks of Dwipa. The only 2nd division soldiers who were there were cavalry units located at one end of the bridge. Dudung was worried that if the three divisions defended the city center, they would be forced to fight alone.
The battle was as expected. Allied forces managed to take three bridges and cut off communications between the three regions. Therefore, Raden Partajumena decided to infiltrate the 2nd division into Java Dwipa. To deceive the enemy, he ordered them to hang the 2nd division flag on the walls of Kebonagung. During the battle to capture the bridge, it was evident that the 2nd division was inside Kebonagung. Although Tipukhris and Wijiono Manto have their own goals, they care little for Kebonagung.
For Raden Partajumena, the move and use of the 2nd division depended on the movement of the enemy. If the alliance forces focus on attacking Java Dwipa, the 2nd division will launch a sneak attack. If the enemy cannot seize Java Dwipa quickly, Raden Partajumena will change strategy to cause greater damage to the alliance forces. With the constant attacks from Java Dwipa, the alliance forces would suffer heavy casualties and be forced to retreat. Even with reinforcements, they would not be able to launch an attack.
For Raden Partajumena, it was the best decision. The only change was the problem with the 3rd division. Fortunately, in a precarious situation, the Military Intelligence Division had helped them escape. Receiving intel from the Military Intelligence Division, Raden Partajumena took decisive steps. And this was the greatest gift Raden Partajumena had prepared for the alliance army.
On the 13th day of the second month, the Battle of Java Dwipa reached its turning point. The 3rd successfully withdrew from the siege and moved to Maspion. At Pamong Wetan Camp, Roberto and Lotu Wong meet and agree to attack Maspion. At the same time, Wijiono Manto tried to persuade Tipukhris to attack Java Dwipa together.
However, the key event of the day was the teleportation of the 2nd division from Java Dwipa to Le Moesiek Revole. After making sure that Java Dwipa is safe, Raden Partajumena activated two trump cards, namely the 2nd division and the 4th division, which are intended for Pasikin troops. Despite having only 8000 cavalry, Dwipa's Javanese strength approached 30 thousand with the presence of a 2nd division and a newly built city protection regiment.
Before the 2nd division departed, Raden Partajumena gave Raden Syarifudin a brief instruction to quickly end the situation. Time is very valuable for Java Dwipa, because the plan to use the empty city can only last a while. Raden Syarifudin quickly ordered his troops to prepare for battle, promising that within a day they would destroy the enemy forces.
In order to achieve this goal, after Raden Syarifudin moved, he discussed with Gayatri Rajapatni, and the two decided to besiege Pasikin's forces. Gayatri Rajapatni leads the 4th division and the city's protection regiment to attract the attention of the enemy, while the 2nd division was quietly moving out from the west gate and taking a position behind the enemy forces to cut off their escape route.
Several days passed in Le Moesiek Revole without any flashy activity. Pasikin, as the main general, remained vigilant, but the soldiers in his army had different thoughts. Some of them felt less satisfied with their duties as sea spies. In their view, attacking Java Dwipa and robbing his wealth was a more noble act.
However, what they did not realize was that their counterparts in Java Dwipa did not get any results. Instead, 20 thousand troops from their army were killed on the battlefield. Miracles happen in this world, where envy of others is often accompanied by jealousy towards us. Those who attacked Java Dwipa envied Pasikin troops were still safe. Therefore, when the southern gate of Le Moesiek Revole suddenly opened and a large army came out gallantly like a black herd, the prairie cavalry troops were shocked.
Quick command given: "Secret attack! Quiet attack!" The troops immediately prepared for battle, cavalry units were formed, and their horses were swiftly prepared.
