Become a feudal king from today - #945 - Chapter 957 The last stop
“Bang bang bang…”
At the moment of the explosion, intensive gunfire rang out.
Frightened by the flares, many British soldiers stood up from the trenches and looked up to the sky, their bodies exposed outside the trenches.
This makes them a target for Marines.
Under the fire of grenades and muskets, the British soldiers in the trench suddenly suffered a large number of casualties.
At this time, the British suddenly woke up and the Dasong army attacked them.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
The British soldiers in the trench screamed in panic.
They all looked outside the trench to look for the figures of Dasong soldiers.
But at this moment, the light that lasted for a minute suddenly went out, and the world fell into darkness again.
“What’s going on? What’s going on?” A Britain looked at the sky.
The ball of light just disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.
All the weird things made him, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, lose his bearings and feel chills in his heart.
Hubby, standing in front of his house, was equally panicked.
He has been through many wars. When he was young, he even stood in the front row and exchanged fire with Russian soldiers.
But then he was afraid, and now he was deeply afraid.
This fear is the fear of the unknown.
For the first time, something appeared on the battlefield that he didn’t understand either.
Looking at the battlefield that was once again plunged into darkness, for a moment he didn’t know what order to give.
However, just as the British people lost their light, they fell into darkness again.
At this time, a red light flew high into the sky, and then a ball of light appeared again in the sky.
Like the previous one, this ball of light illuminated a one-mile radius.
Let everything in the trench be revealed.
The British people were stunned again. Obviously, they wanted to find out what was going on.
But just then, the Marines threw another wave of grenades into the trench.
At the same time, the soldiers lying on the grass suddenly stood up and rushed towards the trench.
“Boom, boom, boom…”, “Bang, bang, bang…” The battlefield became noisy again.
At the same time, in order to cover the charge of the Marines.
The soldiers in the rear began to fire illumination bombs in an orderly manner. Before one illumination bomb went out, they immediately fired the second one, keeping the battlefield in light.
“kill!”
After the first group of soldiers charged, the second group of soldiers also killed them.
The British in the trenches ahead suffered heavy casualties due to two waves of grenade bombardment.
The Marines jumped into the trench, immediately cleared away the remaining enemy forces, and occupied the front row of trenches.
By the light of the flares, they cooperated with each other just like during the day and fought their way deeper into the trench.
For the Britons who didn’t understand flares, they obviously couldn’t adapt to fighting in the weird light.
Although this strange light was not lethal, it destroyed their morale from the bottom of their hearts.
They have always had a sense of superiority when facing their enemies.
Because Britain is the most advanced in terms of battleships and muskets and artillery.
Now, their confidence is at an all-time low.
“Bang bang bang…”
The gunfire continued.
The frontal marines continued to attack the British regular army and militia.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, the small number of British regular troops and militiamen suffered more than half casualties.
Faced with increasing casualties, the remaining regular troops and militiamen could no longer hold on and withdrew from the trenches and ran towards Queensland City.
And lost the main force of the battle.
The prisoners and militia organized by Habib were immediately met with massacre shooting by the Marines.
They didn’t last long before they collapsed.
A large number of Britons surrendered, and some disappeared into the darkness like the remaining soldiers.
The Marines didn’t stop.
They advanced through the trenches into Queensland City.
From behind, flares kept hitting their heads to provide them with light.
Sporadic fighting continued until dawn the next day.
As the sun rose, the Marines took complete control of the entire Queensland city.
“General, some of the remaining soldiers have escaped.” When Gong Ying and Ma Qian entered Queensland City, a general came to report.
“Ignore them, they will die in the wild.” Gong Ying said.
He learned about the Australian continent from King Yan.
This continent is so vast that only the coastal areas are suitable for survival.
The interior is an arid area unsuitable for human survival.
Leaving the city means they will lose their food source.
At the same time, the Australian continent is an isolated island, and they cannot escape from this cage.
“Yes, General.” The general responded.
Then, Gong Ying ordered the Marine Corps to take over the British assets in Queensland, including cattle, sheep, plantations and the like.
and imprisoned the captured Britons.
They were busy until evening, when a soldier suddenly came from the coast and brought a message to Gong Ying, “General, the battleships of His Highness and General Zhou have arrived.”
“Your Highness is here!” Gong Ying was delighted and immediately led the generals to the beach.
When they arrived, they found that King Yan was joking with their general Zhou Yi on the beach.
Gong Ying immediately stepped forward and saluted the two of them.
“Not bad, this war ended in time.” Zhou Yi looked at Gong Ying and laughed.
They had already heard the news that Gong Ying had taken Queensland.
“This is all due to the flares, otherwise we would have to waste a lot of effort.” Gong Ying said with a smile.
“Flare?” Zhao Xu and Zhou Yi looked at each other.
Gong Ying nodded and explained to the two of them.
Zhou Yidao, “So, it’s a pity that the Bingzhangsi’s ship didn’t catch up with us.”
“Then wait here for two days before setting off. Queensland has just been defeated and order must be restored.” Zhao Xu said.
Now that Holland and Queensland Club have been conquered, the next stop is the last stop.
In order to perfectly capture Britain’s largest colonial territory on the Australian continent, it is necessary to wait for the flares.
After all, Gong Ying had a great time fighting at night, but he used up all the flares in one night.
Three more days later, the ship from the Bingzhan Division arrived belatedly.
At this time, with the flares taken, the two fleets merged into one and headed for the last stop.
