Blue Sheath

Coastal War

They managed to cross the river. In a wet state, still continue to stare at the direction of the attacking opponent earlier. They're back to filling the rifles. And shoot it at the enemy.

“Retreat! Back off! We will protect you,“ said the soldier who was already across and his rifle had pointed at his pursuers.

“Please him get closer,“ the soldier continues to run by being chased by the enemy. Try as soon as possible to reach the edge. Unlike friends beside him who did not have time to land because the enemy sword pierced his back.

“I'll shoot him!“

And the late one was immediately hit by a Diponegoro army pistol from the booty.

“Keep chasing! Stump them again backwards.“

“And many are sinking.“

We continue to encourage them that in conditions that are slightly above the wind this will make them even less powerful. And the next time won't be able to get us pressed again.

Seeing many dead, Kumpeni opened fire from across the river. Which of course makes the irregulars stop the attack and just watch from a distance.

This is done to protect the ones that are still there. Also so that the opponent could die from the explosion.

The soldiers who were chasing were constantly hit by gunfire. Others have stopped the hunt. While the cool ones chased on, not hearing the call to retreat. These are the ones who were hit by enemy bullets.

Attacked by soldiers stopped their shooting. After the invisible soldiers. And their range of weapons is not up. Or without direction. Then they come back.

The Warriors are both retreating, to strategize again in the future. This victory adds to the spirit. One day they will invade again. If necessary, attack the fortress which is now guarded by 400 people.

Now there is no need to keep hunting. Vain. Because there will be another victim on his own side. If you force it across the river. Already equally tired, but the position that fortifies them to be stronger.

It's just that Prince Diponegoro is worried, to do it, however the little one is still his nephew, who is also a favorite student, as well as his son.

This is sometimes a little confusing. At the same time a little to relax the struggle. Because our bosses are worried and doubtful.

We rest.

Mostly tired. Some are groaning. Some buried the dead. The next few took care of his wounded friend.

“There is..

A wounded man screamed.

“Why?“

“Sick...“

“What's wrong?“

“Head almost dropped.“

Then the head was joined by soft wood. And given a powerful medicine.

“Wuaduh me.... “

“This again.“

“Hand broken,“ he said. He showed me a hand. The wounded. It looks like a sharp object. Not because of bullets.

“Iya spliced bamboo first yes...“.

The princess soldiers made medicine, drilled wounds, drank wine used as an anesthetist, to reduce pain for the wounded. Both hit by cannon shrapnel and sabetage of weapons to cause open wounds. These are those who feel strong against the greatness of the enemy. But I want to help the fight. That's why they put it in the back row. As backup power if pressed great. And Iika was not active, helping to treat the wounded soldiers.

Next, make food and drink. Anything is cooked. For the sake of making strong the Warriors. There's rice, cooked it. Wearing a large barn. With a lot of firewood scattered directly boiled until it is worth eating. Rice is very hard.

Then there are bulbs that are given by residents. Collected with other food. And cooked together too.

The people gave their crops in their gardens. There are cassava, sweet potato, gadung to bisono. That's a pretty windfall if eaten together when it's gathering like this.

“This is eating,“ he told us.

“What?“

“Rames.“

“Wih there are sales,“ we are astonished. Usually the food is in the shop. Eaten with delicious vegetables and side dishes. Now it's here, who doesn't like it.

“We make our own only wrapped in banana leaves,“ replied the female soldier. Responding to our astonishment. This is made to make it easier to divide. If the buffet, there must be no part, but who take it first will take it a lot. Due to hunger. Hence for the sake of togetherness, they must divide it in such a simple package.

“There is teak wood?“ ask us. In the leaves there is a slightly different and slightly distinctive taste. Making in kangen where most of the food is covered banana leaves whose shape is not difficult and easy to get in the plantation of the population, do not have to go to the forest.

“This but little.“ He gave food wrapped in increasingly rare leaves. Only in the wild forests. There are many large plants that grow.

“It feels more pronounced. “

That day we rest together. A little celebrating victory. Which is hard earned. Must sacrifice everything. Even lives can one day be lost. This is why we are grateful if we need to defend it in other battles. Which leads us to victory later. This event can add a little more to our spirit in the next steps in organizing. And the possibility of additional energy will also surge, due to the confidence of the population to support the struggle.

Our break is over. The tiredness is gone. It's changed time. Which left us all night. Next must continue the steps so that the more certain we are in obtaining victory.

We then split up trying to defend the territory that is still in the joy of winning the war. We are divided into different groups. To supervise around areas of responsibility. So that it can defend if at any time there is an enemy attacking again.

Some time in the future the soldiers will attack openly again. They want to show strength. And getting closer to the city center.

“So yes....“ we assure you what yeng we heard it.

“True. We will invade. Maybe go straight to the palace. Let's get ahold of it soon. And the enemy immediately set foot from here.... “

That's plan. If we win, we will control a region that may not have to be guerrilla. The negative stamp by the world is even accused of being a security intruder. Even more pathetic to be considered a robber. That's why we need victory to defend the territory.

We followed Bagus Sodewo on the west bank of the bengawan Progo. There the area we know and can be monitored more closely. The area is also broad. Many forests. There are also many mountains. Can be used as a natural defense fortress that does not need to cost a lot. Nature just helps us in everything.
