Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1156
[Chapter 1156 The Battle of Long Beach]
Yan City.
Zhao Xu stood in front of the huge world map in front of the imperial study room, staring at the location of the country of Sam.
At present, the entire Dongtu area has been connected by wire and cable, and Dasong is centered on Yancheng, and telephones are being popularized.
He can get any trouble in these areas immediately.
However, the country of Sam was too far away from Da Song, so he could only wait patiently for news about the front line.
He thought at this time, the war should start.
Then, his gaze turned to the direction of Middle Earth.
The country of Sam is only part of this strategic counteroffensive.
In addition to the direction of Sam’s country, he decided to attack in the direction of Middle Earth at the same time, to defeat the Tusman Empire, the minion of Western Earth in Middle Earth.
While further restoring the order in the Middle Earth, extend its tentacles to the Dark Continent, approaching the West, and finally achieve the goal of encircling and suppressing the West.
For this reason, after discussing with Chang Wei, he gave Guan Tong an order.
Let the Suzaku army not only train the army for the Persian country, but also adopt the method of supporting the Indians to support the rebels in the Middle-earth countries and the tribes of the dark continent.
These rebels were unwilling to be enslaved and oppressed by the Western Turks, and had a firm will to fight.
It was their helpers who overthrew the order of the Western Turks.
As for Da Song, the foreign policy he formulated with the cabinet was not ordered to be a colonial policy.
It is enough for him to win a Nanzhanzhou and the vast Siberia.
Even these two huge territories may take a hundred years to digest.
So there is no need to imitate the Western colonists.
Furthermore, during this period, the wisdom of the people gradually developed. At the beginning of the 19th century, the anti-colonial movement in South America began vigorously.
It is the same in this era.
It is out of date to do this again, it will only damage its own image and increase Dasong’s management costs in the world.
It’s better to rely on Dasong’s industrial strength to do business with other countries and gain wealth.
And this is one of the reasons why he is eager to smash the order of the Western Earth.
The colonies controlled by Xitu will not allow Dasong’s goods to enter.
In this case, he can only flip the table.
However, Dasong’s strategic counterattack will not be accomplished overnight.
It may take three years, five years or even longer to achieve.
But it doesn’t matter, time is on Da Song’s side.
With the development of Dasong industry, the gap between them and Xitu will become wider and wider.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Xu’s mouth rose slightly.
Now, it’s time for the chanting’s enemies to fear.
…
At the same time as this time, while he was thinking, the battle in Long Beach had reached a critical stage.
Hundreds of small boats braved the wind and waves on the sea, leaving behind white waves and rushing towards the beach.
When they entered the beach about 500 meters away.
There were bursts of cannon fire in the trench on the opposite side, and shells flew towards the sea one after another.
However, during the three days of bombing, the artillery of Sam’s army suffered heavy losses, and the shelling was not very violent.
Moreover, due to the low level of the opponent’s flower bombs.
Some shells exploded in the air, and more sank directly to the bottom of the sea.
Occasionally a few bombs exploded between the small boats, and the soldiers lying on their stomachs could also avoid being scratched by the shrapnel.
Of course, there were also small boats that were not lucky enough to suffer casualties.
But these casualties were not enough to affect the army’s landing operations.
Furthermore, the artillery on the battleship will focus on taking care of the position of the opponent’s artillery when they find out.
The remaining artillery in the country of Sam continued to decrease.
The Sam soldiers in the trenches could only watch as Da Song’s troop carrier docked.
This situation made the officers and soldiers of Sam’s country raise their hearts to their throats.
“The machine gunner looks for the shooting position, the mortar is in place, and focuses on bombarding the opponent’s heavy firearms! The others are on alert.”
A small boat docked, and General Da Song immediately issued an order.
At this time, the bombardment of the battleship stopped.
Then the battlefield will be handed over to them.
Soldiers had practiced landing countless times before the war, and they carried out the general’s orders.
A beachhead was established, and they waited for follow-up troops to land, in order to launch a general attack when there were enough numbers.
“Admiral, we should launch an attack now and drive the soldiers on the beach into the sea. Otherwise, once their number increases, it will be very troublesome.” An officer of Sam’s country suggested to Bolton.
For any officer, now is the best time to fight back.
Bolton nodded.
They all know that Da Song’s army is very powerful.
But he had to try, and he couldn’t let the other party send more troops to land.
“Let the Clay Legion carry out this order,” Bolton said.
There are 50,000 soldiers in each legion in the Kingdom of Sam, and there are nine legions in Long Beach.
Soon after his order was issued, soldiers walking through the trenches were soldiers from Clay’s regiment.
After a while, they rushed out of the trenches and charged towards the beach.
“Da da da…”
At this moment, the machine gun on the beach rang out.
The Chinese machine gun spewed out flames at a rate of six hundred rounds per minute.
The firepower formed by the crossing of several machine guns immediately covered the Sam country soldiers rushing over.
Other soldiers also pulled the triggers and fired.
Some mortars also dropped shells among Sam’s soldiers.
Under the ferocious firepower, the soldiers of Sam State fell down one after another.
“What the hell is that!” Bolton kept watching the battlefield with his binoculars up.
Da Song’s machine guns and mortars immediately caught his attention.
Its ferocious lethality made his heart tremble.
He heard that Da Song had a musket that could fire continuously, but it was said that the rate of fire was not very fast.
Why is it completely different from the rumors now.
He had never heard of or seen the small tube used by the two soldiers to fire the cannonballs.
“Da da da…” The gunshots continued.
When the two sides were fighting, Dasong kept having small boats docking on the shore, and these soldiers immediately went into battle again, with more and more fierce firepower.
It’s just that without his order, Clay’s army didn’t stop attacking.
Soldiers from the Kingdom of Sam continued to attack the beach, leaving behind a lot of corpses.
Half an hour later, the bodies of soldiers from Sam’s Kingdom spread out on the beach, and more than 6,000 people died.
However, the Dasong soldiers had almost no losses, but the number of soldiers on the beach was increasing, and the beach was full.
This scene fell in Bolton’s eyes, and his palms were sweating nervously, but there was nothing he could do.
War can be clumsy at times, without much flexibility.
When the Dasong army landed, they had to hold the beach and prevent them from landing.
Otherwise they have to lose the colonial nation.
But he already knew one thing in his heart.
The strength of Sam’s army and Dasong’s army is very different.
This battle is probably a rabbit fighting a lion.
The battle continued, and they suffered more than 30,000 casualties under repeated charges.
Then the sun went down and darkness fell.
Bolton secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the Dasong army would not attack again at night, so that they could have a chance to breathe.
However, his hope was in vain.
