Chapter 953: Quick and Easy

"Captain, they are digging trenches. Read М"

Helland Town.

When Zhao Xu's order was issued and the Marines began to dig trenches relatively, the officer next to Jon said a little uneasily.

He had been in many colonies and participated in many battles with colonial natives.

But no indigenous army had ever mastered their fighting methods.

It was also for this reason that they were full of contempt for the colonial natives and did not regard them as the same kind.

So, after seeing the Dasong army digging standard trench fortifications, he was deeply shocked.

This shock was probably the same as when the navy saw the Dasong steamship.

"I'm not blind, I can see it." Jon looked at the position five hundred meters away.

This was exactly the starting point for the Dasong army to dig trenches.

He had the same idea as the officer, but he couldn't show any surprise at this time.

Because it would shake the morale of the militia.

"Even moles can dig holes. They are just learning from us. But you all know that native troops will scatter like birds and beasts as long as they encounter setbacks, so don't worry about it." Jon deliberately said loudly.

Defend Hedland to the death, this is the order Oliver gave him.

If he doesn't execute it, he will be shot even if he returns.

But until he saw more than 20,000 Dasong troops, he realized how difficult this task was.

At present, they only have 3,000 rifles. If they resist this Dasong army with better equipment than them.

Now, he can only fight this battle as a soldier.

In the next three days, he could only watch the trenches of the Dasong army getting closer and closer to the town of Hedland.

From 500 meters to 300 meters, then from 300 meters to 50 meters, and even close to 30 meters in some places.

And this position almost made them feel very uncomfortable.

During this period, in order to prevent the other side from digging trenches, he sent out death row prisoners to launch three charges.

But these death row prisoners were shot to death before they rushed to the trenches.

"Captain Pan, it's time to launch an attack." Seeing that the trench position had taken shape, Zhao Xu said to Pan.

He didn't have much time to waste on the Australian continent.

This time, his visit to the Australian continent was more of a symbolic meaning.

That is, he personally set foot on this continent and will take over here in the future.

After taking over the entire Australian continent, he will give this continent a new name.

The same goes for other colonies captured.

"Yes, Your Highness." Pan nodded, and then he gave the order to attack.

Because they were lightly equipped and did not carry field guns and artillery.

So this battle could only rely on grenades, which was one of the reasons for digging trenches.

After his order was issued, the Marines in the front row of trenches immediately threw the prepared grenades over.

After throwing one, they picked up another one from the front and threw it.

In a short time, each grenadier threw six grenades.

These grenades flew into the air, like locusts, and pounced on the British trenches.

"Boom boom boom..."

Instantly, the trenches in front of the British were covered with flames.

At the same time, clear screams came from the trenches of the British.

"Is this the grenade of the Dasong Army?" Jon's back was immediately soaked with cold sweat.

He learned from the intelligence sent that the Dasong Army had this kind of firearm.

But he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

Once, they also had a grenade team in Britain.

But the grenades they threw were very large, and they had to select strongmen in the army.

Even so, the grenades were thrown about 30 meters at most.

But now, the Dasong soldiers easily threw such grenades.

"Captain, the soldiers in the trenches ahead suffered heavy casualties, half of them died, and 30% were injured and unable to fight." At this moment, an officer with a face scratched by shrapnel ran over and said anxiously.

Jon's heart was even colder when he heard this.

The regular British army was in the trenches in the front.

"Kill!"

As soon as the officer finished speaking, a loud shout of killing suddenly rang out on the battlefield.

It turned out that the Marines climbed out of the trenches and quickly rushed towards the British trenches.

They knew very well the power of the previous wave of grenades, and they wanted to take advantage of the gaps that killed a large number of trench soldiers in the front row to launch a charge.

When the Marines on the front launched a charge.

The Marines on both sides pointed their guns at the British trenches, and shot immediately when only the British soldiers showed their heads.

They were covering the charge of the front soldiers.

The series of tactical actions of the Dasong army made Jon unable to react at all.

Including the British soldiers in the trenches did not react.

When they realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

The Dasong soldiers crossed a distance of 30 meters or even 50 meters in just eight or nine seconds, jumped into their trenches, and tore a hole in their trench defense line.

Although many soldiers tried to shoot, they were facing the cover and suppression of the Dasong soldiers.

While they were dodging the shooting, it was difficult to accurately aim at the enemy's charging soldiers.

This made their already limited firepower even worse.

As more and more Dasong soldiers jumped into their trenches, something even more tragic happened.

More grenades flew in the sky.

Dasong soldiers held their muskets and killed people like rhinos charging in.

At this time, their rifles seemed even more clumsy.

When the soldiers were too nervous to load the bullets, the muskets of the Dasong soldiers kept firing as if they didn't need to be loaded.

For a moment, casualties increased rapidly.

"Stop them, stop them immediately." Jon shouted.

He asked the officers to order the prisoners in the trenches to rush over and fight with the Dasong soldiers in the trenches.

He ordered the British residents in the town to rush forward and fight.

Soon, a large number of British people rushed over from all directions of the trenches, and the battlefield became a mess.

"Launch a full-scale attack!"

Zhao Xu and Pan Chang had been watching the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu said coldly.

He would not sympathize with any British residents because they were invaders.

The only difference between them and British soldiers was that British soldiers were causing massacres all over the world.

And they provided them with ammunition supplies in the rear.

Since they were so comfortable with massacres all over the world, why should he be so soft-hearted?

What's more, they are all felons and their descendants.

Now, the British have transported a large number of young men back to Tianzhu to arm themselves.

If they are given the opportunity to enter Dasong, they will definitely not show mercy when they start a massacre.

Thinking of this, he added, "Don't show mercy. Since you are a sharp sword, let the enemy see how sharp you are."

Pan Chang nodded, waved his hand fiercely, and the messenger immediately went to the trench.

Soon, the Marines from all over rushed out of the trench and killed towards the town of Holland.
