Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1157
[Chapter 1157]
At midnight.
The Sam country soldiers who were on guard suddenly felt that the sky was bright.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at the rising white light ball.
However, they didn’t notice that many Dasong soldiers had already touched their trenches in the dark.
On the sea, Qin Shan was sitting on the deck, looking at the flares with a smile on his lips.
After this day’s battle, they basically figured out the strength of Sam’s army.
To his disappointment, Sam’s army seemed to be not as durable as the British army.
Of course, this may also be related to their changing weapons.
In short, the army of the country of Sam is in a state of being completely suppressed in front of the Dasong army.
It’s like an army with flintlocks facing an army with rifled guns.
“Kill!”
At this moment, there was a deafening cry of killing on the battlefield.
The sound of mortars, grenades, machine guns, and occasionally pistols rang out one after another.
When Da Song’s army launched an attack, Bolton was pacing back and forth in the camp, smoking a cigarette.
The gap with Da Song’s army made him extremely anxious.
Today, they are basically sure that relying solely on the strength of Sam’s country cannot resist the Dasong army.
Now, he can only hope that the western countries headed by Britain will give support to the country of Sam.
To this end, he decided to convey his thoughts to President Sullivan.
Hearing the sound of gunfire, he rushed out of the tent immediately.
His gaze was attracted by the bright light of the sky for the first time, and then he looked at the Dasong soldiers who kept coming.
Under the impact of these soldiers, the Sam country soldiers in the trenches in front collapsed one after another.
They simply couldn’t withstand the fierce firepower of the Da Song army.
Especially the strafing of firearms fired continuously.
After three days of bombardment and today’s battle, the more than 400,000 troops in Long Beach lost nearly one-third of their personnel.
Today, he has only 300,000 troops left.
Often one-tenth of the battle damage in a war can lead to the collapse of the defense line.
They were able to fight with one-third of the battle losses because they defended the country of Sam.
However, the huge disparity in strength still makes the morale of the army low.
It has to be said that the sneak attack at night once again dealt a heavy blow to the soldiers of Sam’s country.
The continuous emergence of new things in the Dasong army made them more and more desperate.
“General, you need to move now. The frontline trenches are over, and our army is disintegrating.” An officer staggered to Bolton, looking anxious.
He had just returned from the front trenches.
The attack of Da Song’s army was orderly and deadly.
They threw grenades first, and seized the first trench.
After that, they entered with unknown small cannons and continuous firing muskets, and attacked fiercely from the first row of trenches.
Their flanks were also attacked, and if they did not retreat they would be completely surrounded.
The expression on Bolton’s face was stiff, their soldiers were brave.
The Indians were also brave when they resisted them, but in the end they won.
Therefore, bravery is only a valuable quality, but it cannot determine the failure of a war.
When the level of war weapons is too great, the war will be tilted towards the victor.
“Retreat!” Bolton ordered.
He thinks that the people of Sam, including himself, are too confident in their imagination of war.
Maybe they shouldn’t have resisted the Great Song army on the west coast in the first place.
Instead, they should stick to the east coast and wait for support from the western world.
Now, they have paid a lot of casualties, but have not achieved any war results.
Obtaining his order, the army of Sam’s country retreated from the trenches one after another.
The landing battle, they completely failed…
next morning.
Qin Shan walked on the battlefield full of bullet casings and corpses.
The Dasong soldiers were collecting the corpses, throwing the Sam country soldiers into the ditch and burying them on the spot.
After a night of fighting, although most of the Sam’s army withdrew, the remaining troops were basically wiped out.
According to estimates, only about 200,000 Sam’s troops survived the battlefield.
Dasong’s army also suffered thousands of casualties.
Those who were slightly injured continued to fight, and those who were seriously injured were immediately sent back to Hawaii for recuperation, where there is a hospital dedicated to the army.
“General, the army of Sam’s country is fleeing to the east, and the troops of our two guards are pursuing.” A general came to Qin Shan’s side.
“Let the soldiers catch up after a short rest. We will rest in the city of Sam Country.” Qin Shan said.
He judged that the army of the country of Sam would not fight them again in the cities of the colonial territories.
Attacking halfway, they still failed.
There is no difference between fighting them and sending them to death in the colonial city.
Just as he thought.
After Bolton retreated, he led the army to move eastward without stopping.
The people of Sam Country in the colonial territory are like frightened birds.
They didn’t even have time to bring their belongings, so they followed the army of Sam’s country and retreated to the colonial territory in the east.
In the afternoon, the Da Song army took full control of the country of Sam, the largest colonial nation on the west coast.
While winning in Long Beach, the situation in St. Francis and Seattle also showed a one-sided behavior.
The combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps is comparable to that of the Qinglong Army.
Facing Sam’s army, which was much weaker than Long Beach’s, their attack went more smoothly.
Half a day earlier, the Qinglong Army occupied San Francisco.
The battle in Seattle was similar.
Indian troops soon captured the city of Seattle.
Although they all use guns and artillery eliminated by the Dasong army.
But these firearms are also a whole generation ahead of the Nation of Sam army.
Moreover, as the battle for the restoration of the Indian country, the Indian soldiers fought very fiercely.
It can be said that regardless of casualties, coupled with the advantages of weapons, they also fought very beautifully in this battle.
The three directions achieved victory almost at the same time, stabilizing the occupied colonial territory.
Qin Shan, Zhou Yi and Pan Chang went to Seattle, which is controlled by the Indian army, to meet with Vatus and Indian army commander Omaha to formulate the next strategy.
“I don’t think there is any need to rush eastward to attack. If you go too deep into the enemy’s rear, supply problems will easily occur.” Qin Shan pondered.
After a pause, he continued: “You should use the colonial territories in the west as your base to recruit the Indians scattered in the country of Sam to expand your strength.”
“General Qin is right, if we can get the support of the tribes scattered everywhere , then they will become our eyes and granaries, so that our supplies will no longer be a problem, and we will be able to grasp the situation of Sam’s army in the first place.” Watusi said.
Omaha nodded too.
Pan Chang smiled. In his opinion, it was the true biography of Qin Shanshen’s Emperor Zhao Xu.
His purpose in doing this is similar to what they did to the southern people when they praised the Civil War.
This continent belongs to Indians, and it is necessary to unite all Indians.
Furthermore, they are not afraid of confronting Sam’s army, what they are afraid of is Sam’s guerrilla warfare with them.
But if Vatus controlled all the Indians in this land, then the country of Sam would not be able to play this tactic.
On the contrary, the Indians were using this tactic to further attack the country of Sam.
Of course, they have another consideration.
That is, the Daeong Army tried not to intervene in this war.
Their most important role was to open things up and give the nascent Indian Nation room to grow.
In the end, let them drive the people of Sam Country out with their own hands.
