In the morning mist.

In the Long Beach trench fortifications, which are more than thirty miles long and more than ten miles wide, Sam's soldiers gathered together to have breakfast.

They carried front-mounted rifled guns on their backs and were ready to fight at any time even when they were eating.

Since their ancestors came here from Britain, drove away the Indians and built one city after another, this belonged to them.

No one would reflect that this fertile continent should belong to the Indians.

For hundreds of years, they have been rampant in the world and are unparalleled.

The long-term sense of superiority made them think that the Western natives were all ants, just like humans expelling wild animals and occupying their land without feeling guilty.

It was this natural thing that made them choose war.

They will not give up what they get. If the other party wants it, they will come and get it in person.

But despite their high fighting spirit, they are still a little uneasy.

They finally realized the feelings of the indigenous countries when facing them.

The sun rises from the sea level and the sea mist gradually dissipates.

At this moment, the sentry responsible for observation found huge black shadows in the fog.

As the distance approaches, the outline of the battleship becomes clearer.

The frightened sentry immediately blew the whistle, and then the whistle sounded one after another in the entire trench fortifications.

The officers came out of the tent and hurriedly watched with monoculars.

The Sam Country soldiers immediately returned to the combat position.

The quiet atmosphere was instantly tense.

"They are here." Bodon smoked a cigar and spit out a long string of blue smoke.

He believes that the Da Song army will focus on attacking Long Beach.

This is why he is here.

The number of Dasong warships on the sea also proves this.

"My Dasong, you will regret your decision. Being enemies with the entire Western Land, you will be torn into pieces, and your failure will begin today!" Bodun said hatefully.

He had already swore in front of Sullivan that he would fight the Great Songs to the end.

The sun is rising higher and higher, and the warships on the sea are becoming clearer.

At this time, some of the Dasong warships had already been scattered in shape and faced the Long Beach sideways.

Qin Shan and Zhou Yi stood on the deck of the flagship.

While Bolton was observing them, they were also observing each other.

This time, the Battle of Long Beach will be commanded by Qin Shan himself, and the remaining two battles will be commanded by Pan Chang and Indian general Omaha.

"Let them tremble in front of the Dasong army!" Qin Shan said lightly.

This war is of great significance to Dasong.

It can be said that this is Dasong officially launched a counterattack on the Western Land World after expelling the Western Land people from the Eastern Land area.

Next, Dasong will launch a counterattack in Central Earth and Heizhou.

After all, after this weapon change, the entire Dasong army believed that they had already distanced themselves from the Western natives on weapons.

This time, the weapons and ammunition transported from Dasong are very abundant.

Since they have the advantage in firearms, they must give full play to their advantages.

Saturated shelling of Long Beach is naturally the best way to reflect its advantages.

Zhou Yi nodded and passed the order to bombard.

Soon, the sailing warships and ironclad ships made roars, and shells equipped with leads flew out and landed on the Sam's fortifications.

Moreover, the ship's gun has a large caliber, and the shells are naturally large and heavy, and are very powerful.

Especially the sailing warships, they are like artillery positions moving from sea.

Now, the battle against Western and Turkish warships at sea is basically replaced by ironclad ships.

The role of sail warships is more inclined to bombard the coast.

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, flames and smoke rose from the trenches of Long Beach.

Under the huge power of the shells, the soil on the trenches rose dozens of high.

Some Sam's soldiers were at the center of the explosion and were blown away by the shock wave. Their limbs were split into pieces and turned into residual limbs and fell into blood rain.

"ah……"

"ah……"

“…”

Under the shelling, the screams of Sam's soldiers in the trenches kept ringing.

The injured soldiers were more afraid and desperate than the soldiers who were killed directly.

They covered their bloody half of their legs, and their broken arms kept screaming and moaning.

The other soldiers were so scared that they trembled all over when they saw their companions' miserable situation.

Some of them were older veterans who had experienced the War of Independence.

On the battlefield, they were more calm than the new recruits.

But after the shelling, their calmness disappeared immediately.

"Damn it, what we are facing? What an opponent." A veteran wiped away the dust from his body.

Back then, when they fought, they relied on line formations, and they could not fight solid bullets.

In the past two years, in order to deal with Dasong, straggler lines and flower bullets appeared in the army again.

They thought the equipment level of the Dasong army would not be much different from theirs.

But it is obvious that the flowering bullets of Dasong are significantly more powerful than their flowering bullets.

And there are not a little more.

The most important thing is that the artillery shells of the Dasong army exploded when they landed on the ground, giving them no time to react.

This is something their flowering bullets can't do.

Botton and other Sam's officers also noticed this.

Each of them looked dark.

Not long ago, the Dasong army was still using wooden wedge leads.

But now, they seem to have new things, and shells can explode as soon as they touch the ground.

"These damn bastards!" Bolton cursed in despair.

In order to prevent the Dasong army from landing, they could only arrange fortifications along the coast.

However, the arrangement of fortifications along the coast must withstand the shelling of the opponent's warships.

The saddest thing is that they can only be bombed because they have no warships to block the other side's navy.

"Boom boom boom..."

The shelling continued, and each stroke seemed to explode in the heart of the Sam Country officer.

For the next three days, the shelling continued, day and night.

The trench fortifications on Sam Country Beach are like a piece of land that has been turned over by a cow.

Under the continuous shelling, more than 120,000 Sam's soldiers were injured and killed.

At one point, Bolton wanted to get the soldiers out of the front of the trench.

But every time he was about to do so, the Dasong army would send small boats to get the soldiers to land.

Therefore, not only was he unable to withdraw his soldiers, he had to strengthen the defense on the front line.

Otherwise, once the Da Song army goes ashore, the consequences will be even more serious.

Of course, he knew very well that this was a trick that the Da Song army deliberately played.

But this trick is a real open conspiracy, and he must not be guarded against it.

But in this way, they can only bear huge casualties.

In the past few days, the morale of Sam's soldiers has plummeted, and even deserters have appeared.

On the fourth day, warships on the sea bombarded the coast again.

But unlike in the past, this time the densely packed small ships of troops sailed towards the coast.

On the boat, the Dasong soldiers pressed their guns to the side of the boat and aimed at the coast.

A Chinese-style machine gun was installed on the bow of the ship.

This time the artillery fire is no longer just a simple bombing, but a cover for their landing.
Chapter completed!
