Steel Dynasty - Chapter 960
[Chapter 954: Martial Spirit]
The sea breeze blew, and the gunpowder smoke drifted towards the coast along the wind.
In the water, the Spanish warship was burning, and the fire became more fierce due to the wind.
On the beach, the Chongqing soldiers quickly gathered. Opposite them, the Spanish infantry phalanx was walking towards them.
“Move forward!”
Liu Chen stood on the outside of the queue and shouted loudly.
Under his order, the soldiers raised their feet and walked towards the Spanish soldiers in neat steps. At the same time, snipers formed a skirmish line looking for targets on the beach.
Their mission was to kill the Spanish officers. Similarly, they also saw the Spanish soldiers sending out skirmishers. They knew very well that the weapons held by these skirmishers were also rifled guns, and the purpose was exactly the same.
“Dong dong dong…”
“Didi di…”
Drums and horns sounded alternately on the beach, and the distance between the soldiers also increased from 400 meters to 300 meters, and from 300 meters to 200 meters.
When the distance between them shortened to 150 meters, the Chongqing army stopped first. At this time, they raised their Falcon rifles.
One hundred and fifty meters is a good shooting distance for them.
“Bang bang bang…”
A row of fire was accompanied by smoke. The advancing Spanish soldiers in the front row fell down like wheat. The accuracy of the Falcon rifle ensured the soldiers’ chance of killing the enemy.
“Second row, shoot!”
Liu Chen issued the second order.
“Bang bang bang…” There was another round of shooting, and then the third round of shooting.
Like previous wars, he still adopted the classic three-stage shooting, so as to ensure his own sustained firepower.
Under the fierce firepower of the Great Chongqing army, the casualties of Spanish soldiers increased sharply, and soon Miel encountered the terror and helplessness that Joseph had just experienced.
Before they could get within range of the Spanish customary fire, their soldiers collapsed, a collapse they had never encountered before, not even with the Dutch troops they were fighting.
“What kind of weapons are they holding, and why can they accurately shoot our soldiers from such a long distance?” Miel was shocked beyond measure.
It was a bullet that hit his thigh that finally brought him back to his senses.
Only then did he discover that more than thirty Spanish officers had fallen on the beach. Not only did their snipers pose no threat to the other side, but they were mercilessly killed by the other side’s soldiers immediately.
Looking at the soldiers scattered like birds and beasts, Miel finally recognized the reality. Starting from the sneak attack in the morning, they were destined to fail.
“Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep is despised.” Suddenly, the Chongqing soldiers who were originally lined up screamed and charged forward. While they were chasing, they were shooting at the Spanish soldiers who were escaping.
When a Chongqing soldier passed by him, a soldier suddenly raised the butt of his gun and pointed it at his head.
Miel felt a sharp pain on the back of his head, and then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
The sound of gunfire and artillery continued, but the entire beach had become the main battlefield of Dayu, defeating the Spanish soldiers on the front. The soldiers of Dayu, led by officers at all levels, pursued deserters, seized forts, and seized important roads.
In a short period of time, the coastal defense artillery positions in the bay were occupied by the Chongqing Kingdom.
The soldiers who took control of the coastal defense artillery immediately turned the muzzles of the coastal defense artillery. They used the coastal defense artillery to bombard the Spanish soldiers in the Royal City of Spain.
“Commander, this yellow-haired Japanese seems to be a high-ranking official. When we were attacking, this man was always commanding on the shore.” Yu Yongliang said to Liu Chen.
He was the one who knocked Miel unconscious when he passed by this person just now.
“All of them are in custody. These miscellaneous hairs, red and yellow, are quite bright, bah!” When Liu Chen was speaking, he raised his foot and kicked Miel in the face. The more he looked at these people’s faces, the more they looked like them. It’s annoying.
Although their landing this time was generally smooth, there were still four to five hundred soldiers killed or injured during the landing.
These soldiers were his thorns in the side, and they made him feel very distressed. Because of this, all his anger fell on these Spaniards.
“Yes, Commander.” Yu Yongliang shouted, dragging Miel’s body towards the shore.
When the coastal defense guns were under control, the warships finally began to approach the military port. With the threat gone, they no longer worried that the warships would be sunk.
Yue Yun and Eric got off the boat after docking.
Looking at the scattered Spanish soldiers lying on the beach, Eric felt a chill running down his spine. Now he was really grateful for Blake’s efforts in the Great Chongqing.
Although Black’s behavior was severely criticized in Congress at the time, and many people called him weak, everything now proves Black’s foresight.
In just one morning, Spain’s royal city, which had been run for hundreds of years, was captured by the Chongqing army. If it were them, they would probably die even worse.
“Although there were some losses in this battle, overall it went smoothly.” Yue Yun said to Liu Chen.
For the Marine Corps, this was the battle with the most losses since their establishment, and it also made them understand themselves clearly.
In the past, they were a little scornful because they had a crushing advantage over Goryeo and Japan, but now they began to put away their arrogance when facing the Spanish, who were superior in civilization.
Liu Chen was silent for a while. He had not yet recovered from the brutal landing scene. After all, watching ship after ship of soldiers being killed by cannonballs had a great impact on his soul.
“It is impossible for war to be without death, but it is precisely because of the brave sacrifice of these soldiers that the glory, status and interests of a country can be guaranteed. You soldiers from Great Chongqing are all good.” Eric gave a thumbs up .
He saw the entire war process. Maybe he had some contempt for Dayu before, but after this war, he began to change his mind.
Because in front of him, the Chongqing Kingdom defeated Spain in an upright manner. This was the first time in a century that white people lost to the natives in their eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Chen’s eyes became firm again, and he said: “The soldiers’ blood donation will not be in vain. They will enter the Hall of Valor and be admired by people for eternity. For us soldiers, dying on the battlefield is an important thing.” Such honor. “
Eric opened his mouth and was fascinated by it for a moment. He saw the steely will of the soldiers of the Great Chongqing in Liu Chen, and he also saw clearly the martial spirit of the Great Chongqing.
Frowning, he turned his head and looked at the warships stationed at sea. A terrible thought grew in his mind, whether Chongqing would colonize Europe in the near future like they colonized Asia.
