Kisah AKU n Leftenan Adnan

Siapa yang tak kenal dengan hero Malaya ni? But if kalau ada yang tak kenal jugak memang sahlah korang ni bukan Melayu tulen. Every Malays must know this legendary man. Simbol perjuangan bangsa Melayu, simbol penentangan bangsa kita terhadap penjajah. But, there were several debate berkaitan dengan Leftenan Adnan - untuk siapa sebenarnya beliau menentang - ketaatan kepada Empayar British dan His Royal Majesty, King George VI or demi bangsa Melayu.
Ramai yang berpendapat, pengorbanannya mempertahankan Singapura dan Malaya ketika itu didorong oleh semangat benci akan penjajah dan keinginan "menghantar" tentera Jepun ke tempat asal mereka. Aku ingat satu kata-katanya - "Biar putih tulang, jangan putih mata". Apakah maksudnya itu - jangan mengaku kalah walau banyak rintangan dihadapi, teruskan jua sehingga ke titisan darah yang terakhir. Aku yakin bahawa perjuangan Leftenan Adnan adalah untuk melihat bangsa kita, Melayu dipandang tinggi semula dan mengecapi kebebesan, mempunyai pemerintahan sendiri - bebas dari kesengsaraan ditindas penjajah zalim. 
Didalam filem Leftenan Adnan, ketika beliau memberi kata semangat kepada anak buahnya - "Bangsa lain sedar kemampuan kita, disebabkan itu mereka takut kita mengambil hak kita kembali". Apa yang cuba disampaikan ialah semangat nasionalisme dan patriotisme bangsa Melayu sangat ditakuti oleh kekuasaan Mahkota British. Kita mampu membina empayar yang besar sebelum kedatangan mereka, British dan penjajah merampas dan memperoleh kemewahan melalui hasil bumi kita, eksploitasi mereka terhadap galian kita membuatkan mereka mengecapi kekayaan dan kemodenan. Tapi dimanakah hak kita ketika itu - dasar pecah dan perintah yang memecah belahkan kaum. Dan oleh itu mereka amat takut jika bangsa Melayu ketika itu cuba merampas apa yang patutnya jadi milik mereka.

Fikirkan ini. Rejimen Askar Melayu Diraja yang baru ditubuhkan ketika itu mampu menghalang tentera Jepun yang berpengalaman dan elit. Rejimen ini juga merupakan unit yang paling degil dan yang paling lama bertahan didalam Battle of Malaya dibandingkan dengan unit Komanwel British yang lain. Apakah maksudnya itu? Aku berpendapat, tanpa semangat jati diri yang kuat mana mungkin mereka dapat bertahan - semangat mempertahankan tanah air, Tanah Melayu dan Singapura adalah tanah asal Rejimen ini. Leftenan Adnan mempertahankan Singapura yang dahulunya milik kita - Temasik. Tetapi, apakah yang dapat kita lihat kini, pulau itu senang-senangnya diserahkan kepada bangsa lain untuk diperintah. Jika Leftenan Adnan masih hidup, pastinya beliau berasa sangat marah. Pulau yang dipertahankan dengan gigih jatuh ketangan orang lain.
Kini, kita Bangsa Melayu dipijak-pijak oleh kaum lain. Dimanakah silapnya? Sudah terang lagi nyata, perpecahan Melayu itu sendiri, kita dipisahkan melalui politik yang berlainan. Jika Leftenan Adnan masih hidup sekarang, pastinya beliau menyesal dan sedih melihatkan akan keadaan ini. Kesimpulan dari pengorbanannya, kita hendaklah sentiasa mempunyai semangat cinta akan negara dan sanggup berjuang demi negara tercinta ini

TETAPI, berkhidmat didalam Rejimen Askar Melayu Diraja dan menggalas tugas sebagai commanding officer for Kompeni C ketika pertempuran dalam menghalang tentera Jepun, membuatkan ada yang melihat beliau sebagai tali barut British. 

So, korang cakap arwah atuk aku pun tali barut British la pasal beliau berkhidmat dalam Rejimen Askar Melayu Diraja, unit yang masih kekal hingga kini dicipta dari zaman sebelum kita merdeka lagi. Silap!!
Jawapan aku buat kamu semua yang gagal menghormati wira bangsa dan Malaya ini.
Rejimen Askar Melayu ditubuhkan dengan perkenan Raja-Raja Melayu dan dilatih oleh British. RAMD berjuang di Tanah Melayu dan sanggup berkorban demi tanah kelahiran mereka ini. Jika mereka berkhidmat untuk Empayar British, sudah tentu mereka akan dihantar berperang melawan Nazi di Eropah dan mempertahankan United Kingdom yang dilihat lebih penting bagi Mahkota British, tetapi persoalannya mengapa British membiarkan Rejimen muda ini mempertahankan tanah air mereka sendiri, aku rasa - dengan cara itu Jepun bakal mengalami kepayahan dalam menguasai seluruh Malaya dan Singapura. Keinginan memastikan institusi diraja dan juga kelangsungan bangsa Melayu yang mendorong mereka terus berlawan. Semangat yang patut dicontohi bukannya mempersoalkan keperwiraan mereka ini.

Akhir kata, bangsa Melayuku marilah kita semua mencontohi keperwiraan Leftenan Adnan. Jangan biarkan bangsa lain mengambil apa yang menjadi hak kita. Pertahankan hak kita sebagai tuan tanah negara ini, artikel-artikel keramat itu, kedaulatan institusi diraja dan kesucian agama Islam. Bersama kita berganding bahu, bersatu dalam menongkah cabaran yang melanda kini. Mengakhiri bicara pagi in, marilah kita bersama-sama sedekahkan Al-Fatihah buat perwira-perwira kita yang gugur mempertahankan tanah air, dan juga mengingati jasa mereka. Tanpa mereka, kita tidak mungkin mengecapi nikmat kebebasan dan kemajuan.Amin.

Kisah AKU n Leadership

Assalamualaikum semua. Hari ni aku nak menyentuh sikit tentang soal leadership. Seronok tak menggalas tanggungjawab sebagai seorang ketua? Memang seronok if korang dapat menjalankan tugas dan kepercayaan yang diorang bagi dengan baik.

Menyingkap semula cerita-cerita lama zaman sekolah dulu, aku memanglah pengecut dalam bidang-bidang macam ni. Even, sampailah masuk asasi pun still aku cuba mengelak diberi tanggungjawab menjadi seorang leader. Huh, lagipun siapalah yang cukup percaya dengan aku ni kan.

Sekolah dulu, jawatan paling tinggi yang pernah aku pegang ialah Bendahari PRS. Takde kaitan pun dengan leadership but for you all nye information - aku orang pertama yang galas tanggungjawab bendahari untuk 3 tahun berturut-turut. Why? Cikgu Saiful percaya kat aku, katanya lah waktu pemilihan EXCO PRS 2009. Aku ingat lagi waktu tu, aku menarik nafas lega sebab dengan perlantikan sebagai bendahari, maknanya jawatan lain yang vacant seperti Presiden and Vice Presiden dah tentunya aku tak mungkin pegang.

Asasi pulak - hehe, ni bukan aku sengaja nak mengelak. Takut tu still ada but aku rasa tak layak and rendah diri, lagi-lagi bila bercampur dengan siswa siswi yang mostly graduated from sekolah berasrama, kluster dan banyak lagilah. Plus - orang pandang aku sebelah mata je kot waktu kat Fakulti tu..Moral of the story - learned from the US President, Mr Harry Truman - believing yourself when no people does. Peduli kan status diorang, itu dulu but sekarang sama je. Satu kelas jugak, satu Universiti jugak. Bezanya - diri kita dan mereka.

Degree ni. Alhamdulillah untuk semester 1 ni banyak benda yang banyak mengubah personaliti aku. But, sesuatu yang aku belajar melalui pengalaman. Jadi ketua pun ada yang benci, bahkan lagi ramai yang benci daripada kita menjadi kura-kura dalam cengkerangnya. Waktu awal semester, aku assume command group TITAS when I saw nobody want to take it. Bila aku try nak stabilkan group pun ada orang cakap aku gila kuasa, pandai-pandai lantik diri sendiri, suka-suka je bagi arahan. Aku buat semua ni sebab aku tak nak group kita hanyut, macam kapal tak bernakhoda. Mid Sem - satu lagi tugasan dimana aku mengambil tanggungjawab sebagai leader and alhamdulillah, takde masalah yang serius pun except sedikit kekalutan waktu nak submit report. Akhir semester, ni lagi gila punya tanggungjawab - Platoon Leader terus..ha3x, memang kusut pale otak aku bila budak-budak tu pilih aku jadi leader. Sumpah aku rasa cam malas nak hidup waktu camping tu - rasa macam nak terjun dalam sungai. Serious. But, overall - taklah teruk sangat. Moral of the story - optimistic and steadfast courageness. Jangan takut dalam mencuba, but if we failed - don't ever abdicate, but delegate. Kalau tak mampu menggalas tanggungjawab tu, cuba lantik right hand untuk tolong. Delegate kan duty korang sikit, sebab ada leader yang fikir - tu semua kerja diorang, no one can seize my duty from me.

Sekarang - aku cuba nak belajar cara menjadi seorang leader yang baik dan berkualiti. Untuk semester yang bakal mendatang, kalau mampu asal ada peluang, semua group aku nak sapu - biar aku yang jadi leader. Time has changed my friend, dulu jadi team member pun boleh, sekarang ni - I want to be your leader, this group. I'm in charge here!!

Kisah AKU n The Fall of Christiania

Previous Chapter - The Betrayal

Napoleon, the Emperor of France now must deal with the Coalition of Three Nations. With the Danish and Swedish cooperate together to make a pre-emptive strike against the French at Schwerin and Novgorod, the Dutch will try to seize French’s Flanders from Amsterdam. Far to the south, Corsica – the birthplace of the Emperor fall to the hand of the Corse Rebel. It did help to give a sufficient time for the Coalition to invade France, as the Emperor will face difficulty to coordinate the defence due to the lack of fully equipped army and leadership. Duroc’s army is far to the south, fortifying Rome while Oudinot’s army still at the Bavarian land, defending the city of Stuttgart from the expected people uprising. If his Army Group Centre left the city undefended, the rebel will seize the city and Napoleon will faced another problem. As being informed by his Lord Secretary of Army, Napoleon only have four available generals with their battle ready army- two armies under Eugene de Beauharnais and his reserve command by Armand Phillipon were both positioned near Hannover, remained close to each other while the other army is stationed at Novgorod under the command of the Russian’s campaign veteran, General Eduard Mortier. There, an army under General De Moncey scheduled to arrive as Mortier’s reinforcement, supporting the defences of Novgorod.

Eugene de Beauharnais, Napoleon’s stepson is one of the veterans of the Russian Campaign. His army mostly consisted of cavalry squadron that saw combat on the unforgiving Russian winter. Berthier’s plan is to move Beauharnais together with his reserve towards the Danish land, capture their capital, Copenhagen while try to avoid pitched battle against the numerical superiority of the Danish army. If anything happen, for example the Dutch strike his rear – Beauharnais might consider a retreat into Frisia, where a battalion of reserve infantry may assist him and then he will be able to renew the invasion.

Armand Phillipon, freshly promoted general will command Beauharnais’s reserve army consisted of four fresh battalions of Middle Guard. He will be responsible to protect the rear of the army. These two armies need to advance close to each other, so that if pitched battle cannot be avoided – at least Beauharnais may commit Phillipon into the battle.

On the Early February 1813, Amsterdam unexpectedly captured by General Jean Andre Massena without asking the Emperor’s consent to storm the heavily fortified city. Actually, Massena brilliantly gathered the remnant of his army to advance towards Reims, while putting one third of its strength to defend the city of Schwerin. There were also a number of regimental commanders that scattered near Reims assembled at the city and joined Massena’s army. Massena is capable to mount a pre-emptive attack against the Dutch and succeeded in capturing Amsterdam. Napoleon is very impressed with Massena’s valiant action and later promoted him as the General of the Grand Army. The Dutch was being kicked out from the competition and now Beauharnais could resume his march to Copenhagen without fearing of the intervention of the Dutch.

Beauharnais then captured Copenhagen without being resisted by the Danish. This is Frederick’s plan to throw back the French as he has already rallied his generals to Christiania; there he will be able to combine with a corps of Swedish army under the command of General Isakson. From that point, they will be able to press the outnumbered Beauharnais then recapture Copenhagen while try to push the French to their initial point.

Christiania is the last stand for the Danish army, the royal family, nobles and aristocrats of the Danes. If the city falls to the hand of Beauharnais, they’re finish. Frederick however still has the guts to fight the invader because the Danish are clearly won the numerical superiority against the French. But, rather than facing the seasoned and elite French troops in the open battle, Frederick favour to defend the city itself and let Beauharnais and his army laid siege of Christiania. There, a huge number of infantry are amassed, together with fully armoured batteries and well motivated cavalry unit.

On Beauharnais side, he faced a major problem – lacking of experience in laying the siege and the position of the city itself. Christiania is actually fortified by a huge fort in front of the city, named Fort Frederick – forming two layers of defences. Its mean Beauharnais need to pass two heavily defended fortification before entering Christiania and it will cost a massive number of death tolls among his army.

Then, he managed to detect Frederick’s fatal mistake – the right section of the fort is almost left undefended. Beauharnais then ordered the batteries to shell the centre while make a deception movement against Frederick’s left. With this tactic called “infiltration”, Beauharnais’s plan is to concentrate a massive bombardment against the centre, demoralized the Danish while trying to confuse them. Simultaneously, he also sends two battalions of the French Line Infantry towards Frederick’s left to increase his confusion.

Unexpectedly, the Danish Royal Cavalry charge the advancing Foot but in a mean time, the Foot managed to form the square formation.  The square formation is really a good defending formation when encountering the cavalry charges. Even if the infantry only succeed in forming two ranks of square, its still can avoid a huge number of casualties because the horses will never charge against the bayonet.

The Danish Royal Cavalry is the most elite unit in the hierarchy of the Danish army. They’re recruited from the Danes royal families; most of them experience at least five battles throughout Frederick’s campaign against the Prussian. This unit never sustained even half of casualties making them a right and exclusive choice for the King as his personal guard.

Far to the right, Beauharnais commits two battalions of the Foot, assisted by a squadron of Cuirassier to storm Frederick’s undefended section. With all Frederick’s gun distracted by Beauharnais initial movement on his left,  Beauharnais’s left detachment advanced without being resist.

Covered by light forest that surrounding the fort, the Foot advanced stealthily towards the wall.

Frederick then unleashed his reserve squadron of Hussar that charge from the woods against the steady Foot. Charging an infantry inside the woods is not a good idea. All of Frederick’s shock detachment was slain to death, due to misjudgement of the terrain and topography as well as the discipline showed by Beauharnais’s army.

Meanwhile, a squadron of Cuirassier protecting the advancing Foot spotted Frederick’s cannon deployed outside the fort. Without hesitate, the commander charge the ill defended unit and succeed in killing them all, thus capturing two pieces of artillery.

With all possible threat clear, the French led by Brigadier General Jean Rapp scale the wall of Fort Frederick. Far to the left, the defending French still hold their line making Frederick a hard decision on which section need to be cover. Either to reinforce the nearly win detachment on his right or fortify the undefended section. If he continue to press Beauharnais’s defending Foot by sending his best unit, Frederick might be able to push them back while if he send several battalion of his best infantry on the undefended section of wall, he might be able to deny Beauharnais’s quick victory.

Frederick then made one solid decision – to renew his frontal attack against Beauharnais’s left while stationed only three battalions of freshly recruited infantry to guard the undefended section. Such a disastrous decision because Beauharnais still not commits Phillipon’s reserve army that assembled only half a mile from the battlefield. Shall his line fall, Beauharnais still has much time to rally his army and renew the attack together with Phillipon. But, if the undefended section falls to the hand of Rapp’s detachment – Frederick might consider concentrating all of his army towards them making an untenable position at his center, thus enabling Beauharnais to storm it easily.

Rapp’s detachment succeeded in capturing the wall, reform and gains an ‘upper hand’. They’re able to fire the Danish from the high ground, making a perfect defending position and give Beauharnais sufficient time to launch a fresh attack against Frederick.

A brutal hand to hand combat on the wall of Frederick’s Fort. Frederick realizing the fact that he need to retake the wall, start to push Rapp’s detachment with all of his army, leaving the front gate undefended. Despite of their effort, the Danish still unable to defeat the well discipline French.

Meanwhile, Beauharnais’s left detachment that still undefeated scale the wall and capture the left gate of Fort Frederick. There, they witnessed a savage fighting of Rapp’s detachment against a massive number of Frederick’s infantry. The commander, Brigadier General Jean Reynier signalled Beauharnais from the wall – the reinforcement is badly needed.

Reynier’s then ordered his men to fortify the building inside the fort, thus attracting several Danish infantry to attack them and relieved Rapp’s detachment and gave them a little pressure on defending the wall.

Beauharnais then ordered two squadrons of lancers to reinforce the hard pressure French, the French Lancer is among the best heavy cavalry in the continent, these fearsome shock troops will advance with their full speed towards the enemy without fear then delivered a powerful charge, thus inflicting both moral and physical damage to their enemies.

The remnant of the Danish armed forces begins their retreat, leaving the fort and headed towards the city.

In order to inflict as much casualties for the Danish army.

Beauharnais then unleashed his light cavalry. These fast moving and light cavalry unit is the most suitable unit to pursue the retreating army. As the result, many of the Danish being killed before manage to reach the Christiania.

Siege of Christiania concluded when Frederick of Denmark officially surrendered the city before midnight of Late March 1813. Frederick recalled and abolished his armed forces, as well as to accept the sovereignty of Napoleon as the ruler of Denmark. Beauharnais then continues his advance towards Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, the last enemy of the France Empire as well as the Emperor and all French people. With the fall of Sweden, the Emperor’s dream to conquer Europe will become true.

Kisah AKU n The Betrayal

Previous Chapter - The Spanish Destruction

Louis Alexander Berthier, Napoleon’s Lord Secretary of Army already put himself as the finest military adviser for the Emperor. He had succeed in assisted Napoleon throughout a various successful campaigns –the decisive Napoleon’s invasion of Central Europe that crushed the Prussian and Austrian, rapid victory of Ney’s army against the Ottoman, Moreau’s invasion of Sardinia and Sicily, Napoleon’s invasion of Russia,  the invasion of Great Britain by Nicolas Oudinot and recently, Napoleon’s invasion of Iberian Peninsula. But now, he has given a hard task by the Emperor. To break the alliance with the remaining standing nations in the continent, and for him – to invade one nation will bring the other to fight Napoleon together. If the Emperor favours the Confederation to be his first target, its mean the Central Europe will face another brutal battle. In addition, the Batavian Republic will be able to strike at the heart of the Empire; Paris while the Baltic nations – Sweden and Denmark will be able to threat the ill defended Moscow and liberates it.

Berthier then proposed his grand cautious plan to the Emperor - an impossible plan to mount as the French troops were badly scattered across the Empire. But, he managed to recalled several veterans generals together with their army and positioned them at their initial point of invasion. His plan was to strike the Confederation of Rhine first, then separate – one will go south to open the Italian front and the other will swing north to open a new front – Baltic. Plus, the reserve army from Novgorod will standby, shall the Swedish cross and invade Russia.

 Nicolas Oudinot, the architect of the Great Britain’s destruction will command his seasoned Army Group North towards Hessen Kassel, then advance towards Munich, the capital of Baden-Wurttemberg. His army will face a great proportion of the elite Bavarian army. Baden-Wurttemberg is the strongest nation in the Confederation.

 Jean Andre Massena, well known for his valiant defend of Oxford during the invasion of Great Britain will push his Army Group Centre towards the central point of the Confederation – invading Swiss Confederation then moving north to suppress Oldenburg and Mecklenburg. With the fall of their capital, the Confederation of Rhine will be annex as a part of the France Empire.

 Gerard Duroc, freshly promoted General of the Grand Army will command the Army Group South, will attack Milan and then advance towards Rome.

As predicted by Berthier, the invasion scheduled to start on Early April 1812 will concluded with the Fall of Rome, expected before the end of the year 1812. Any intervention from the other nation will be a part of an act of aggression, thus highlighted by Berthier as an act of defending the Empire not invading them.

On the early part of the invasion, all Army Group managed to reach their objective. Swiss Confederation, Hessen Kassel and Oldenburg were all annexed as a part of the Empire. Lucky for the French, there was no intervention from the other nations at this point. The Dutch, Swedish and Danish remained neutral while Portuguese start to shown their aggression by mobilize their troops near the border. Napoleon then mobilizes his elite troops towards Iberian and fortified Madrid.

One month later, Milan captured by Army Group South.

One of the greatest battle on this campaign happened when Oudinot’s Army Group Centre encounter the Baden-Wurttemberg army under Prince Philip II of Stuttgart near the city of Stuttgart.

Philip army outnumbered Oudinot two to one, well equipped and fortified the city. He chose to defend the city rather than meet Oudinot in an open battlefield. But, some of the regimental commander of the Bavarian army lack of discipline often disobeys the order. Philip might face difficulties in controlling them.

Oudinot then move his elite infantry to lure the Bavarian infantry out of the city. One of Philip regimental commander want to exploit the glory of winning the battle then move his regiment of infantry towards the elite Guards.

 Then, they were followed by the other infantry regiment that advanced without fear towards Oudinot’s centre. The Bavarian elite infantry is the most courage unit on the battlefield; Napoleon once used them on his campaign against the Prussian.

 Philip motivated by his own ambition to push the invader from Stuttgart and recapture the capital, Munich, also involved in the charge of the Bavarian cavalry against Oudinot’s left Guards. This is the largest cavalry charge in the campaign, a total of seven squadrons of Bavarian cavalry unit attack the isolated line of the French army.

The Guards is being overwhelmed by the sheer number of Bavarian cavalry. Oudinot later send two battalions of the Old Guard to reinforce his left flank. They succeed in throwing back the Bavarian and repulsed several cavalry charge by Philip.

Oudinot unleashed his cavalry unit by sending them charging downhill against the unprotected Bavarian infantry. Simultaneously, the Imperial Guards also pressed the attack at the centre. Stuttgart falls quickly after the battle, thus closing the central front.

Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg falls after a bitter siege by the French, with the falls of Mecklenburg – the Confederation of Rhine was dissolved, thus ended the northern front.

Portugal attacked Napoleon’s detachment at the outskirt of Madrid and being pushed back – Napoleon then declared war against the Portuguese, combining his troops with Moreau then succeeded in capturing Lisbon, the last city on the map of Iberian Peninsula.

 Rome finally captured by Duroc only after being blocked by the French Navy under the command of Admiral Pierre Villeneuve. As predicted by Berthier, with the Fall of Rome – the campaign concluded on Late November 1812, a month faster than being expected.

Napoleon with the help of his military adviser managed to conquer the Central Europe, Italian Chersonese and the Iberian Peninsula. Only three nations left for Napoleon to complete his conquest – the Dutch, Swedish and Danish. Fearing that they will be the Emperor’s next target – the leader of these three nations then waged war against Napoleon, Sweden’s Charles XII has already deployed his army at the gate of Novgorod with the hope to restore the Tsar in Russia and assisted Denmark in the defence of Kattegat. Frederick of Denmark has mobilized his best three generals, fully equipped and well motivated to recapture Schwerin and combine with the Dutch near Reims. Generally, what the Coalition of Three Nations trying to do is to capture as many as French territory they could, and defeat Napoleon’s scattered army then advance further to liberate the nation occupied by Napoleon in his several grand campaign.

But, are they able to defeat the Napoleon, The Conqueror of Europe?
