Become a feudal king from today - #940 - Chapter 952 Morz
Solomon Islands.
The war in Heland was about to start.
A fleet was heading towards the port of Morz, Papua Island controlled by Britain.
This fleet was the Dasong Navy Fleet led by Gong Ying.
After receiving the order, he immediately led the warships to attack in the southwest direction.
First, he took Moro Island, which had been abandoned by Sam.
After that, he rushed to Morz without stopping.
According to the information provided by the reconnaissance ship, Morz Port is only half a day’s voyage away from Queensland.
It is very suitable as a springboard for attacking Queensland.
And Morz has a supply point established by Britain.
There is no doubt that taking this place is equivalent to laying the foundation for attacking Queensland.
“This is the third supply point. If you take it here, you can take Queensland.” On the flagship of Shanggu, Gong Ying said to the Marine Corps general beside him.
The general’s name is Ma Qian, a captain under Pan Chang, who is highly appreciated by Pan Chang.
“Your Highness and General Zhou must have already launched an attack on Heland, so we have to hurry up.” Ma Qian responded, looking at the distant horizon with an eagle-like gaze.
At this moment, Morz Port.
A British soldier in red military uniform was monitoring the sea situation on the watchtower.
When his eyes looked to the southwest, his whole body trembled slightly.
“Ding ding ding…”
After a moment of shock, he immediately shook the alarm bell on the watchtower.
The three hundred British soldiers stationed at Morz Port were immediately alarmed, and they all gathered at the port.
“The Dasong people are here, go to the warehouse and move the gunpowder barrels out and bury them in the port. We are going to blow them up.” The leading British general ordered.
They naturally knew about the war between the Western Land and Dasong during this period, and they had been waiting for the war to come.
Although Morz had a small number of troops, they still had a high fighting enthusiasm.
Because their idol, Admiral Wesley, wrote a letter to the British garrison in the East.
In this letter, Wesley encouraged them and told them that Dasong was threatening Britain’s interests.
The King of Yan in Dasong was a devil, and they had to kill this devil on behalf of God.
At the same time, their assets in the East were also threatened.
After all, in order to allow them to be stationed far away from Britain, the army rewarded them with a lot of colonial land and natives who were turned into slaves.
When they were fighting, they were soldiers, and when they were resting, they were farmers.
Even for the sake of interests, they had to fight to the death to destroy the King of Yan and Dasong.
In this world, except for the Westerners, all the natives on other continents were only worthy of being their slaves.
“Bang bang bang…” When the officer was gritting his teeth, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.
“Ah…” Then, he heard the screams of the soldiers around him.
“What’s going on!” The officer’s heart shrank suddenly.
He looked hard at the place where the gunshots came from.
At this time, a group of soldiers in green uniforms were coming out of the woods on the west side of the port.
They advanced and shot.
He fired a shot, but unlike them, he did not raise the gun to load the bullet. Instead, he just pulled the musket in his hand, loaded the bullet, and continued to shoot.
There were 500 soldiers in this group. In a short period of time, more than half of his 300 soldiers were killed or wounded.
“Kill them!” After the initial shock, the officer immediately reacted and organized the remaining soldiers to fight back, and let the soldiers form a line formation.
The production capacity of the Tianzhu Arsenal is limited, mainly to meet the needs of the coalition forces.
Even Australia can only be behind, let alone those stationed in Morz.
Therefore, although he heard that the muskets of the Dasong army were very accurate, they could only fight in a line formation.
Because they were scattered, their attack would be even weaker.
But soon, he realized that no matter what he did, it would be useless.
The remaining more than 100 soldiers could not fight against the Dasong army at all.
In a cup of tea, these British soldiers all fell in a pool of blood, including the officer himself.
“Check the bodies and control the port immediately.” After annihilating the enemy soldiers in Morz Port, the general flag of the leader issued an order.
Before the fleet appeared at the port of Morz, a troop transport unloaded them 20 miles away from the port.
The fleet in front was only responsible for attracting the attention of the Morz defenders, and they were responsible for the real battle.
Now, they have captured this place without any damage.
He waited for a while.
The fleet slowly docked at the port of Morz, and Gong Ying and Ma Qian walked down.
At this time, the commandos had fully controlled the port and the warehouses in the port.
Looking to the south, Gong Ying and Ma Qian looked at each other and smiled.
Next, they will launch an attack on Queensland.
…
At the same time.
Hedland.
The Marines officially landed on the golden beach.
After the 8,000 Marines as the vanguard landed, they immediately set up barracks and set up chevaux de frise around the barracks.
They did not plan to attack immediately.
Instead, they waited for the troop transport to send all 20,000 Marines to the Australian mainland before taking the next step.
The fleet’s warships anchored in the waters near the beach.
Use the naval guns to provide artillery support to the Marines camping to prevent surprise attacks. It took more than three days for all 20,000 Marines to arrive.
During this period, the Marines responsible for the investigation probably figured out the situation in the Hedlund Territory.
The British were relying on trenches on the outskirts of the town, preparing to fight them.
“The only solution now is to use trenches against trenches.” The intelligence was gathered into Zhao Xu’s hands, and Zhao Xu finally decided on a strategy.
An obvious problem is that attacking trenches on the plains will inevitably cause greater casualties.
Furthermore, due to the emergence of nationalist ideas in Western countries during this period and the fact that most of them were educated, their will to fight was higher than that of ordinary soldiers from Goryeo and Japan.
This will partially increase their combat effectiveness.
In this case, the casualties of a forced charge will be higher.
It was approached by digging trenches, although it was time consuming.
But it will shorten the front between the two sides and achieve maximum results at the minimum cost.
As long as Helander’s collar is torn open, he will win.
Because although the opponent’s fighting will will be slightly higher.
But even so, that doesn’t mean that every one of them will resist to the end.
If we say that the feudal army will be shaken when it suffers 20% casualties.
Then the percentage of casualties suffered by modern armies can reach 30% or 40%, and it will be even higher under special circumstances.
But now, they are not defending their homeland, so there is no special situation.
Most importantly, he believed that part of the opponent’s will to fight came from his arrogance towards Da Song.
As long as the fighting power of Dasong soldiers is shown, their will can be quickly broken.
