Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1101

[Chapter 1091 Surrender]

“Bang bang bang…”

A dense burst of bullets hit the raised sand in front of San Yuzhu, which represented the response of the coalition officer.

“It’s true that you don’t have to drink wine as a penalty.” San Yuzhu spat out the sand in his mouth and shouted: “Kill them!”

After his words fell, the machine gun on the sand pond spit out tongues of fire again, and the bullet rain instantly covered the trench. At the same time, the mortar unit no longer had any scruples and fired one shell after another into the trench position not far away.

Lei Ming frowned on the battleship. He asked San Yuzhu to do this trick to persuade him to surrender. For him, it would be the best result if he could capture Calcutta without spending a single soldier, but it seems impossible now.

“Attack the entire army!” Lei Ming gave the order coldly. Since the coalition forces were stubborn, he was increasing the leverage for the attack.

After receiving his order, batches of soldiers disembarked from the battleships, and densely packed troop transports rushed to the coast.

Put down the landing soldiers, and the battleship group will leave for the port of Calcutta. After landing, these soldiers will cooperate with them to seize the port so that they can unload the field guns on the ship.

Moreover, there is a large amount of supplies on the battleship this time. Occupying the dock means they have a supply base.

At the same time, the coalition soldiers were being overwhelmed by the ferocious firepower of the empire.

Buterin huddled in the earth hole and looked pale. The shooting just now was his order. He was afraid that the empire’s propaganda would completely collapse the already chaotic military morale.

But the result of his order made him not happy at all.

He had experienced large and small wars in Europe, but he had never encountered such ferocious artillery fire.

The artillery shells used by the empire are all powerful explosive shells, and these artillery shells will explode as soon as they touch the ground, and they are also very accurate.

The soldiers of the coalition are all from Europe. They are still stuck in the previous stage of array shooting and solid ammunition. It is difficult for them to adapt to this kind of artillery shells.

Without the protection of trenches, I am afraid that the coalition soldiers would have collapsed long ago.

He was thinking about it when suddenly there was a commotion. An officer rushed into the cave and shouted: “The Portuguese have surrendered!”

When Butlin heard this, he was immediately chilled from head to toe. Although he was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he was really The only people who can command are the British Red Shirts. He has no way to directly command the armies of other countries. Whether he obeys or not can only depend on their commanders.

In panic, Buterin risked being hit by artillery shells and stuck his head out of the trench to look at the Portuguese guarding position. Sure enough, at this time, officers of the Portuguese army were walking out of the trench with soldiers under white flags.

Portugal has the fewest soldiers in this coalition and has the fewest interests in Asia, so the morale of the Portuguese soldiers is also the lowest.

With a trace of despair flashing in his eyes, Buterin murmured: “The coalition is finished.” Because once someone surrenders, the morale of the coalition will be shaken as a whole.

Just as he thought, as the Portuguese soldiers walked out of the trench, more soldiers continued to crawl out of the trench to join their ranks.

These soldiers include French, Dutch, Spanish and British soldiers.

On the sea, the coalition soldiers who dropped their weapons, raised their hands, and held white flags were caught by Lei Ming. He suddenly laughed, “Hey, from these surrendering soldiers, we can see that the coalition forces are just holding on. As long as we are here Put a little pressure on them, and it will be easy to take Calcutta.”

Liu Chen stood beside Lei Ming, and he cooperated with Lei Ming this time. He said: “It seems that as long as they launch a charge, they will be finished. Now the coalition forces are gone. If the soldiers are like this, the mercenaries recruited by the British must have no fighting spirit, and the coalition forces’ robbery of food and grass will definitely make these mercenaries dissatisfied. They are all from the country near Calcutta. “

“I think so too, now. It’s time to end this farce.” Lei Ming’s expression became firm, and then he asked the messenger to convey his instructions.

On the beach, San Yuzhu was the first to get the news. He said to the trumpeter: “Blow the charge horn!”

“Didi…”

The melodious sound of the trumpet resounded across the battlefield in an instant.

Upon hearing the sound of the trumpet, the imperial soldiers got up from the ground and rushed towards the allied trench positions with howls.

The cry of killing resounded across the battlefield, and Buterin’s heart tightened, which meant that the empire had launched its final attack.

Like the bayonet fight after the arrays fire at each other, this will determine the outcome on the battlefield.

“Brothers, fight them!”

As the imperial soldiers charged, the artillery fire stopped, and Buterin shouted and led the British soldiers from the earth hole into the trench.

Now his only hope is to inspire the coalition soldiers to fight with courage through the heroic fighting of the British army.

It’s just that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the imperial soldiers.

When he just rushed out of the earth hole, suddenly stick-like objects fell from the sky, and these stick-like objects exploded when they hit the ground.

The British soldiers who entered the trench were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

And just when they were stunned by the bombing, the imperial soldiers suddenly appeared at the edge of the trench, raised their muskets and shot at the remaining soldiers.

Facing the tide of imperial soldiers, the soldiers in the trenches finally despaired.

The mercenaries collapsed first, and the Indian soldiers abandoned their muskets and fled towards Calcutta behind the trench positions.

They didn’t want to die for these brutal British.

Mercenaries account for the majority of the seemingly huge coalition army. The hasty flight of so many mercenaries has a huge impact on the morale of the coalition soldiers.

“There is no way to fight this battle. If we fight, we will die. I want to go home! I want to go home!”

Suddenly, a soldier’s desperate cry rang out in the Spanish position.

Following this voice, more and more Spanish soldiers became commotion, not because they were not brave enough, but because they could not see the hope of victory in this war.

So what if they repel the imperial soldiers, the imperial warships are on the sea, and their navy cannot break through the blockade.

In the hysterical atmosphere, the Spanish soldiers finally couldn’t bear it anymore. When a soldier dropped his musket and raised his hands, the remaining Spanish soldiers climbed up the trench and surrendered, followed by the Dutch and French.

“Fifty thousand European coalition troops, the four countries have a total of 30,000 people, and we have 20,000 people. After deducting casualties, now we only have more than 10,000 people. There is no hope. General, surrender.”

A British officer pleaded with Buterin. The tone said that this time the empire sent thirty thousand soldiers to the battlefield.

Coupled with the fact that the Empire’s weapons are much more advanced than theirs, they have no chance of winning.

Buterin closed his eyes in despair as he watched the Imperial soldiers continue to seize their trenches with absolute superiority.

After a long time, he said slowly: “Surrender. If I can return to Europe by chance, I am willing to bear the responsibility. You cannot be blamed for this failure, only that our weapons and equipment are seriously lagging behind the enemy!”

Update tonight, tomorrow Make it up.
