Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Dutch retreated, leaving corpses and countless matchlocks on the ground.  Just like the tide, although it rushes onto the beach with great force, it will eventually ebb when it is exhausted

    There was a burst of cheers from the position, and the soldiers of the escort had enough reasons to be happy, because the legendary red-haired Japanese who were extremely powerful and victorious in every battle were repulsed.  Not only that, but countless corpses were left scattered on the beach in front.

    In the trench, the lying convoy soldiers could finally move around.  The recruits, who had turned pale just now, talked excitedly about the battle just now.

    "I just shot two enemies, one of them hit the chest."

    "Humph, I shot four people."

    "Do you have more people than me? I shot six."

    ?¡­

    At this moment, a group of people quickly ran up from behind. They jumped into the trench and ran around. When they saw someone injured, they would immediately take out a large roll of white cloth from their pockets and wrap it around them. If there was any injury,  , immediately put him on the stretcher, carried him and ran quickly to the back.

    This is Wu Yiping¡¯s newly established military unit¡ªthe medical corps.  It is still in the experimental stage now, and will be scaled up in the future to fight with combat troops.

    "His! These red-haired Japanese are no good!" Luo Hu was in charge of the right half of the position. Watching the enemy retreat, he let out a breath. To be honest, it was his first time facing the Netherlands.  The people and soldiers were always a little frightened. Now that they saw the Dutch retreating, they finally regained their confidence.

    "Company commander" A soldier with a dusty head next to him asked Luo Hu in a low voice: "A lot of Dutch people died this time. Do you think they will charge again?"

    Luo Hu patted the sand that got into his ears and said with certainty: "They will. When have the arrogant Dutch suffered such a defeat? They will think that we were lucky to defeat them. They will keep attacking.  Until one side fails.¡±

    Having said this, Luo Hu glanced at the young man from the neighboring village, grinned and said, "What! Are you scared?"

    "I'm not afraid!" The soldier poked his neck and whispered, "I just want to go to the toilet."

    "Go to the bathroom? No, hold it in!" Luo Hu looked at the recruit whose calves were still shaking, but did not laugh at him.  Instead, he said very seriously: "No one can leave the position without an order."

    After teaching the new recruits a lesson, he picked up a tin trumpet and continued shouting:

    "We fought well just now. You are all good soldiers of my company. When the Dutch come up again, we can just fight like this. Do you understand?"

    In the command post, Liang Yong was holding Zhang Yunshan and asked anxiously: "How long will it take for the troops from Black Tiger Village to arrive?"

    "I just contacted" Zhang Yunshan was listening to the sound on the radio attentively while writing something on the paper with a pen. After finishing writing, he replied: "Black Tiger Village can be reached in about fifty minutes. The instructor will drive  The Dafeng will take another hour and a half."

    "There are still forty minutes?" Liang Yong frowned and didn't think for a moment before continuing: "Immediately ask the troops from Black Tiger Village to set up defenses on the second line of defense when they arrive. At that time, we will also withdraw to the second line of defense."  Second line of defense. We must attract as many enemies as possible to the shore, create opportunities for the instructors, and capture their five sail warships in one fell swoop."

    On the flagship of the Dutch fleet, the command platform was filled with angry roars.  The furious Carlos's eyes were completely red, and he was gasping for breath. He was circling in the captain's cabin and muttering to himself:

    "How could this happen? How could this happen? When did these yellow-skinned monkeys become so powerful?"

    You must know that Carlos has been the governor of Keelung for two years and has always had smooth sailing. He has also encountered resistance and riots;

    Once there was a riot of five or six thousand people. After he sent out two thousand sharp soldiers, everything would soon calm down.

    But this time everything was different. He led five of the most advanced sailing warships in the Netherlands and brought more than 3,000 sharp soldiers; but this powerful and trembling fist hit the steel plate hard here.  above.

    What is the opponent¡¯s guard strength?  Through careful observation, Carlos discovered that there were only about a thousand enemies at most;

    But just a thousand people, these Huangpi monkeys that he looked down upon, had killed more than 300 sharp subordinates, and injured countless others.  He had never suffered such a big loss before.

    What made him even more disappointed was that his men failed to break through the beach. All the sharp soldiers sent to the beach were first suppressed on the beach like pigs, and then slowlyI retreated to the beach and stood there in a mess, at a loss.

    "This is a shame, this is the biggest shame of all holy knights"

    Caloust, who was spinning in circles, slowly stopped and began to calm down.  He held up his binoculars and looked at the beach again.

    A few minutes passed, and the commander took a deep breath, stared at Krall and said seriously:

    "My adjutant, now we are in a difficult position. We must capture this village and get the gold here; otherwise, this loss will completely defeat the family, and our family will become a joke to all the nobles of the empire.  , completely reduced to the bottom, and we will also be sent to the gallows. Do you understand?"

    "Commander, I understand. Just give your orders. I will definitely capture this damn place this time."

    Seeing the adjutant returning decisively, Carlos felt better. He said confidently: "Very good! Have you seen the hillside on the left side of the beach? It is a commanding height and poses a great threat to us, but equally  It is also a place that poses a great threat to their defense.

    "Yes, Commander, your observation is too careful! Are we attacking here this time?"

    "Yes, this time we are going to attack with all our strength; order the battleship to wait for the next artillery attack to be more accurate, and to fire at staggered intervals. All personnel on the battleship, except the artillerymen, will gather on the beach. I will charge directly under the suppression of the artillery.  Come in front of them." After saying this, Carlos's eyes were filled with light and he continued:

    "You will lead a pair of troops to attack from the front later; while I will personally lead the team to attack this hillside. As long as the hillside can be taken down, there will be an unhealable gap in their defense line. Victory will belong to  us."

    "Yes, Commander! Victory belongs to us"

    ?¡­

    "Hiss! The enemy has increased its troops again." The escort soldiers in the trench shouted with some worry.  It turned out that many small boats were put down on the big Dutch ship, filled with people, and rowed towards the beach.

    "Be careful of shelling and be careful about concealment." Liang Yong jumped out of the trench with a tin trumpet and continued to shout: "It only takes half an hour for the reinforcements from Black Tiger Village to arrive. Persistence is victory. We only need to persist for half an hour"

    "Boom!" A loud noise came from the distance, and Liang Yong, who was standing on the edge of the trench just now, quickly fell into the trench, and at the same time he did not forget to shout as hard as he could: "Hidden!"

    ¡°Boom boom boom boom¡±

    With a correction, this time the artillery fire was more accurate, and a lot of lead balls "bang bang bang bang" were placed on the mounds of soil above the trenches.  The yellow-brown soil was instantly splashed everywhere, and yellow dust was scattered everywhere.

    "Hey! This time the shelling is different." Liang Yong soon discovered that this time the shelling was different from the last time. He felt that the artillerymen were not full and the density was much sparser.

    "Commander Liang! Lookthe Dutch's artillery fire is not as fierce as before. Are they in trouble?"

    Liang Yong didn¡¯t think the Dutch would show fatigue so quickly. During the spare time of shelling, he stood on the edge of the trench and glanced towards the seaside.

    What caught his eye made Liang Yong take a breath of air.

    The shelling was not intensive enough, which was intentional by the enemy; the purpose was just to get more Dutch soldiers to log on to the beach.

    What comes into view now is twice as many enemies as the last charge. They are charging in a chaotic manner under the cover of artillery.

    What worries Liang Yong even more is that there are about a thousand Dutch soldiers charging towards the hillside on the left.

    This hillside is the only commanding height of this beach, and it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!  Because of his importance, Liang Yong placed the newly formed second company of sharp knives there.  But now that there are so many enemies charging at the hillside, it's probably a disaster.
