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 sailing 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 this place, 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 Holland, 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 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 lag 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 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, all these British soldiers fell in a pool of blood, including the officer himself.

"Check the bodies and take control of the port immediately." After annihilating the enemy soldiers in Morz Port, the commander issued an order under the general flag.

Before the fleet appeared in Morz Port, a troop transport ship unloaded them 20 miles away from the port.

The front fleet 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 Morz Port, and Gong Ying and Ma Qian walked down.

At this time, the commando had fully controlled the port and the warehouse 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 Territory.

...

At the same time.

Hedland Territory.

The Marine Corps officially landed on the golden beach.

After landing, the 8,000 Marines who served as the vanguard immediately set up barracks and set up chevaux de frise around the barracks.

They were not prepared to attack immediately.

Instead, they waited for the troop transport to deliver all 20,000 Marines to the Australian mainland before taking the next step.

The fleet's warships anchored in the waters near the beach.

The naval guns provided artillery support to the Marines in the camp to prevent them from being attacked.

It took more than three days for all 20,000 Marines to arrive.

During this period, the Marines in charge of reconnaissance had roughly figured out the situation in Hedland.

The British were relying on trenches outside the town, preparing to fight them.

"The only way now is to use trenches against trenches." The intelligence was summarized in Zhao Xu's hands, and Zhao Xu finally decided on a strategy.

An obvious problem is that there will be heavy casualties when attacking trenches on the plain.

Furthermore, due to the rise of nationalist ideas in Western countries during this period, and most of them have received education, their will to fight is higher than that of ordinary soldiers in Goryeo and Japan.

This will partially increase their combat effectiveness.

In this way, the casualties of a hard charge will be higher.

Although it takes time to approach by digging trenches.

But it will shorten the battle line between the two sides and achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.

As long as he can tear open the hole in Hedland, he will win.

Because although the opponent's will to fight will be slightly higher.

But even so, it does not mean that everyone will resist to the end.

If the feudal army will be shaken in the case of 20% casualties.

Then the percentage of casualties suffered by modern armies can reach 30% or 40%, and it will be higher in special cases.

But now, they are not defending their homeland, so there is no special situation.

The most important thing is that he believes that part of the opponent's fighting will comes from their arrogance towards Dasong.

As long as the fighting power of Dasong soldiers is demonstrated, their will can be quickly defeated.
