Chapter 1170 Tigers in the West
Midnight.
The Sam Country soldier who was on guard suddenly felt that the sky was bright.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the rising white light ball.
However, they did not notice that many Dasong soldiers had taken advantage of the darkness to touch their trenches.
On the sea, Qin Shan sat on the deck, looking at the flares, smiling at the corner of his mouth.
After the battle on this day, they basically understood the strength of the Sam Country army.
To his somewhat disappointment, the Sam's army seemed to be less resistant to the British army.
Of course, this may also be related to their replacement of weapons.
In short, the Sam Kingdom army was in a state of being completely suppressed in front of the Da Song army.
It's like an army holding a flintlock rifle facing an army holding a rifled rifle.
"kill!"
At this time, deafening shouts of killing sounds sounded on the battlefield.
The sounds of mortars, grenades, and machine guns overlap, and sometimes there may be pistols.
As the Dasong army launched an attack, Botton was pacing back and forth in the camp, smoking.
The gap with Dasong's army made him particularly anxious.
Now, they are basically sure that relying solely on the power of Sam's country, they cannot resist the Da Song army.
Now, he can only hope that the Western countries led by Britain can provide support to Sam.
To this end, he decided to convey his ideas to President Sullivan.
Hearing the sound of gunfire, he immediately rushed out of the tent.
His eyes were immediately attracted by the light of the sky, and then he looked at the Dasong soldiers who were constantly rushing over.
Under the impact of these soldiers, the Sam Kingdom soldiers in the trenches ahead collapsed one after another.
They could not withstand the fierce firepower of the Da Song army.
Especially the strafing of firearms that are continuously fired.
Three days of artillery bombardment and today's battle, the more than 400,000 troops in Long Beach were reduced by nearly one-third.
Now, he only has 300,000 troops left.
A war often suffers one-tenth of damage to the defense line.
They were able to fight in the third of the battle because of defending Sam's country.
However, the huge gap in strength still made the army's morale depressed.
I have to say that this sneak attack in the evening gave Sam's country soldiers a heavy blow.
The endless new things that emerged in the Dasong army made them more and more desperate.
"Admiral, you need to transfer now. The front trenches are over and our army is disintegrating." An officer staggered to Botton, looking anxious.
He just returned from the trench in front.
The attack of the Dasong army was orderly and fatal.
They first threw grenades and seized the first trench.
Afterwards, they carried unknown small cannons and continuous fire muskets and attacked violently with the first row of trenches as the basis point.
Their flanks were also attacked, and if they did not retreat, they would be completely surrounded.
The expression on Botton's face was stiff, and their soldiers were brave.
The Indians were equally brave when they resisted them, but in the end they won.
Therefore, courage is only a valuable quality, but it cannot determine the failure of war.
When the level of war weapons is too disparity, war will tilt towards the victory.
"Retreat!" Borton gave the order.
He thought Sam Chinese, including him, was too confident in his imagination of war.
Perhaps they shouldn't have resisted the Dasong army on the West Coast from the very beginning.
Instead, we should defend the east coast and wait for support from the western land world.
Now, they have suffered huge casualties, but have achieved no results in war.
With his orders, Sam's troops evacuated the trenches one after another.
In the battle of landing, they completely failed...
The next morning.
Qin Shan walked on a battlefield covered with bullet shells and corpses.
The Da Song soldiers were collecting the bodies, throwing Sam's soldiers into the trench, and burying them on the spot.
After a night of battle, although most of the Sam's army withdrew, the troops that remained to block were basically eliminated.
According to estimates, only about 200,000 Sam's army survived from the battlefield.
The Dasong army also suffered thousands of casualties.
The slightly injured continued to fight, and the seriously injured soldiers were immediately transported back to Hawaii for rest, where there was a special hospital for the army.
"General, Sam's army fled eastward, and the army of our two guards is pursuing." A general came to Qinshan.
"Let the soldiers take a break and catch up. We need to rest in the city of Sam's country." Qin Shan said.
He judged that the Sam's army would not fight with them in the colonized cities.
They failed after half-crossing.
There is no difference between fighting and killing them in a colonial city.
Just as he thought.
After Borton retreated, he kept leading his army to move eastward.
The Sam people in the colonial territory were like frightened birds.
Before they even had time to bring their own property, they followed Sam's army to retreat to the colonial leaders in the east.
In the afternoon, the Dasong army completely controlled the largest colonial territory on the west coast of Sam.
While Long Beach won, the battle between St. Francis and Seattle was also one-sided.
The combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps is comparable to that of the Qinglong Army.
Facing the Sam Country army, which was much weaker than Long Beach, their offense went smoother.
It was too early that the Qinglong Army occupied San Francisco in half a day.
The war in Seattle is almost the same.
The Indian army quickly captured the city of Seattle.
Although they used muskets and cannons eliminated by the Dasong army.
But these firearms are also a whole generation higher than the Sam's army.
Moreover, as the Indians' battle to restore the country, Indian soldiers fought very fiercely.
It can be said that they did not care about casualties, and with the advantages of weapons, they fought in this battle very beautifully.
The three directions achieved victory almost at the same time, stabilizing the occupied colonial territory.
Qin Shan, Zhou Yi and Pan Chang went to Seattle controlled by the Indian army, met Watus and Omaha, the commander of the Indian army, to formulate the next strategy.
"I don't think there is a need to rush to attack east. If you go too deep into the enemy's back, the supply will easily cause problems." Qin Shan pondered.
After pausing, he continued, "You should use the colonial corps in the west as a base to recruit Indians scattered in Sam's Kingdom to expand your strength."
"General Qin is right. If we can get the support of tribes scattered everywhere, then they will become our eyes and granaries, so that our supplies will no longer be a problem, and we can also grasp the situation of Sam's army at the first time." Watus said.
Omaha nodded, too.
Pan Chang smiled. In his opinion, the true teachings of Emperor Zhao Xu, Qin Shanshen.
His purpose of doing this was similar to what they did to the people of the south during the Dasong Civil War.
This continent belongs to the Indians, and it is very necessary to unite all Indians.
Furthermore, they are not afraid of fighting against the Sam Kingdom army, they are afraid of the Sam Kingdom fighting guerrilla warfare with them.
But if Watus controlled all the Indians in this land, then Sam's Kingdom would not be able to play this tactic.
On the contrary, the Indians played this tactic and further attacked the Sam Kingdom.
Of course, they have another consideration.
That is, the Dasong army tries not to intervene in this war.
Their most important role is to open up the situation and give the new Indian state room to grow.
