Zhao Xu stood in front of the huge world map in front of the royal study, staring at the location of Sam Country.
At present, the entire Dongtu area is connected by wired cables. Dasong, with Yancheng as the center, is popularizing telephones.
He can get any information in these areas immediately.
But Sam Country was too far away from Dasong after all, so he could only wait patiently for news about the front line.
He thought that at this time, the war should begin.
Then, he set his sights in the direction of Middle-earth.
Sam State is only part of this strategic counteroffensive.
In addition to the direction of Sam Kingdom, he decided to take action in the direction of Middle-earth at the same time to defeat the Tusman Empire, the minion of Western Turkey in Middle-earth.
While further restoring order in the Middle Earth, it will extend its tentacles to the Dark Continent and approach the Western Territory, ultimately achieving the goal of encircling and suppressing the Western Territory.
For this reason, after discussing with Chang Wei, he gave an order to Guan Tong.
Let the Suzaku Army not only train troops for the Persian Kingdom, but also support the Indians and 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 countries and had a firm will to fight.
They were their helpers in overthrowing the national order in Western Turkey.
As for Dai Song, the foreign policy formulated by him and the cabinet was not dictated by colonial policy.
It was enough for him to capture Nanzhanzhou and the vast Siberia.
Even these two huge territories will probably take hundreds of years to digest.
Therefore, there is no need to follow the example of the Western colonialists.
Furthermore, during this period, people gradually became wiser. At the beginning of the 19th century, the anti-colonial movement in South America began with great vigor.
The same is true in this era.
Continuing to engage in this inappropriate behavior will only damage its own image and increase Dasong’s management costs in the world.
It is 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 break the order of the Western Territories.
Colonies controlled by the West will not allow Dasong’s goods to enter.
In this case, he had no choice but to flip the table.
However, Dasong’s strategic counterattack will not be accomplished overnight.
It may take three, five or even more years to achieve.
But it doesn’t matter, time is on Dasong’s side.
As Dasong’s industry develops, the gap between them and Western soil will become wider and wider.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Xu’s mouth rose slightly.
Now, the enemy of this round of chanting is afraid.
…
At the same time, while he was thinking, the battle in Long Beach reached a critical stage.
Hundreds of small boats ride the wind and waves on the sea, leaving behind white waves and rushing towards the beach.
When they entered the beach, they were about five hundred meters away.
Bursts of gunfire rang out from the trenches opposite, and bombs flew towards the sea one after another.
However, during these three days of bombing, the artillery of the Sam Army suffered heavy losses, and the bombardment was not very violent.
Moreover, due to the low level of the opponent’s explosive shells.
Some shells exploded in the air, and more sank directly to the bottom of the sea.
Occasionally, a few shells exploded between the boats, and the lying soldiers could avoid scratches from the shrapnel.
Of course, some boats were not lucky enough and suffered casualties.
But these casualties were not enough to affect the army’s landing operations.
Furthermore, the artillery on the battleship discovered the location of the opponent’s artillery and focused on taking care of it.
The remaining artillery of Sam’s country continues to dwindle.
The Sam soldiers in the trenches could only watch as Da Song’s troop transport docked.
This situation made the officers and soldiers of Sam State put their hearts in their throats.
“The machine gunner looks for a shooting position, the mortar is in position, and focuses on bombarding the opponent’s heavy firearms! Others are on alert.”
A small boat docked, and General Dasong immediately issued an order.
At this time, the battleship’s bombardment stopped.
The battlefield will then be handed over to them.
The soldiers had practiced landing countless times before the war, and they carried out the general’s orders smoothly.
Establishing a beachhead, they waited for subsequent troops to land and launch a general attack when the numbers were sufficient.
“Admiral, we should launch an attack now and drive the soldiers on the beach into the sea. Otherwise, once their number increases, they will be in trouble.” A Sam Army officer suggested to Burton.
For any officer, now is the best time to fight back.
Burton nodded.
They all know that Dasong’s army is very powerful.
But he had to try, and he couldn’t let the other side send more troops to land.
“Let the Clay Legion carry out this order,” Bolton said.
Each regiment in Sam’s country had 50,000 men, and there were nine regiments in Long Beach.
Not long after his order was issued, there were soldiers walking through the trenches who were soldiers of Clay’s Corps.
Not long after, they broke out of the trenches and charged toward the beach.
“Da da da……”
At this moment, the machine gun on the beach rang out.
The Chinese machine gun spit out tongues of fire at a rate of six hundred rounds per minute.
The firepower formed by the cross of several machine guns immediately covered the Sam soldiers who rushed over.
Other soldiers also pulled the triggers and fired.
Some mortars also dropped shells into the Sam soldiers.
Under the fierce firepower, Sam soldiers fell one after another.
“What the hell is that!” Bolton kept looking at the battlefield with a monocular.
Da Song’s machine guns and mortars immediately attracted his attention.
Its ferocious killing power made his heart tremble.
He heard that Dasong 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 now than in the rumors?
As for the small tube operated by two soldiers to fire cannonballs, he had never heard of it or seen it.
“Da da da…” The gunshots continued.
While the two sides were fighting, boats kept coming to the shore in Dasong, and these soldiers immediately jumped into the battle, and the firepower became more and more fierce.
But without his order, Clay’s army did not stop attacking.
Sam soldiers continued to attack the beach, leaving bodies everywhere.
Half an hour later, the bodies of Sam soldiers were spread out on the beach. More than 6,000 people died.
However, Dasong soldiers suffered almost no losses, but more and more soldiers were on the beach, filling the beach.
This scene fell into Bolton’s eyes. His nervous palms were sweating, but he had no choice.
War is sometimes clumsy and doesn’t have many flexible skills.
When Dasong’s troops land, they must guard the beach and prevent them from landing.
Otherwise they will lose their colonial territory.
But one thing was already clear in his mind.
The strength of Sam’s army and Dasong’s army are very different.
This battle is probably a rabbit versus a lion.
The battle continued, and they suffered more than 30,000 casualties under repeated charges.
By this time the sun was setting and darkness was falling.
Bolton secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the Dasong army would not attack again in the evening, giving them a chance to breathe.
However, his hope finally came to nothing.
