"They are a group of brave young men, very good, Charlie, take them to the back, and when these Dayu people land, let them understand the power of our British Red Shirts!"

Alden said happily that more than 8,000 people had eased his nervousness a little.

While the British were organizing a counterattack, the Imperial warships at sea began to lay down small boats one after another, and the soldiers sat in small boats and began to row ashore.

In a few moments, the entire sea was filled with small boats transporting troops.

Seeing this, Alden and Kenneth's faces changed, they did not expect that the Dayu Congress would invest so many troops to attack Australia.

"God forbid!"

Kenneth drew a cross on his chest.

"Shell the boats at sea, hurry!" Alden didn't have time to pray to God now, and he shouted for his soldiers to attack.

It's just that the thirty forts, including the urgently built ones, were destroyed by half of the warships of the Great Yu State in a short time, and of course, they were not without gains, and a shell hit one of the battleships.

At this time, the battleship was burning with raging fire.

"Lieutenant, we don't have flowering shells anymore." A soldier shouted.

"What!" Alden's eyes darkened, and then he suddenly became annoyed and scolded "Damn the British Navy, why don't they give us more shells, bastards, bastards!" “

After scolding, he said with red eyes: "Now, use solid bullets immediately." “

Kenneth was in despair, three British warships had docked in Wales some time ago, and they had provided these shells, but according to the navy, these shells were very expensive, and the price of one shell was enough to make fifty or sixty solid shells, so such shells were still supplied in proportion.

Even the Navy is ninety percent of solid bullets and one percent of flowering bullets.

At sea, the soldiers were using seawater to extinguish the burning deck, which was blown out by the British flowering shells, and after the flames were extinguished, the repairmen used nails and planks to repair the damage.

Lei Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, if the battleship he led was hit, there was no doubt that the war against Australia would be left with a stain, and this was something he could not bear.

Putting away the binoculars, Lei Ming looked at the small boats on his face one after another and said: "Let the machine gun crew calm down, and be sure not to fire before going ashore, this will startle the snake." “

"Yes." Shi Yanjun immediately asked the flag speaker to wave the flag in his hand and give an order, the machine gun was their secret weapon in this operation, and it must be left for use at the end.

His order was given, and at this time there was another volley of fire from the batteries on the shore.

Shi Yanjun was startled, and he immediately protected the thunder, but the black cannonball rushed down on the deck and only smashed the sawdust, and did not explode.

"It's solid shells, and as we expected, they really don't have enough blooming bullets." Lei Ming picked up the cannonball on the deck and smiled, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

Without the threat of flowering shells, the threat to the Imperial soldiers was sharply reduced, and hundreds of disembarkers arrived on the shore in half an hour under the bombardment of solid shells.

"Machine gun ready!"

With one foot on the soft sand, Sanyuzhu calmly gave orders, he was the commander of the 5th Regiment of the 3rd Division, and as the vanguard, they reached the coast first.

At the same time as they landed, the British Red Shirts were also massing, and as they had predicted, the British troops, who had not seen machine guns, were still using the old line tactics.

With a wicked smile, Sanyu Zhu also asked the soldiers to use line tactics to confuse their opponents, but secretly, he hid the machine gunner in the line line, preparing for a surprise attack.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The British batteries were still spitting out shells, but now the target was the Imperial soldiers who had come ashore, and looking at the batteries around them, Sanyu Zhu sent a pair of stragglers to suppress them.

"Bang ......"

The Han-style rifle made a crisp sound, and the British soldier on a turret was about to reload and suddenly fell in a pool of blood, and the metal bullet instantly pierced his chest.

The British troops on the other batteries were not having a good time, the range of the Han-style rifles was accurate and long, and the guns on the batteries were only three hundred meters away from them, and they were all within the range of the Han-style rifles.

In addition, the skirmish line was composed of soldiers with excellent shooting, and the British troops on the battery suffered great losses for a time.

While rifles and artillery were clashing, four British formations slowly approached the shore, and according to Alden's plan, they would attack while the soldiers of the Great Chongqing Kingdom were only half ashore, because this would achieve the best results.

Therefore, in addition to committing all his regular army, he also put the temporarily organized militia into the battlefield, and more than 11,000 people formed a dense line on the open beach to approach the army of the Great Yu State.

At the edge of the beach, an array of Sanyu pillars was assembled, in which there were machine guns every five meters, and in order to conquer Australia, a hundred machine guns were thrown into battle, and these machine guns were enough for the British to drink a pot.

Standing on one side of the array, Sanyu Zhu led the soldiers forward, and the machine gun crew pushed the machine guns behind the array.

The drums of "dong dong dong" came from the British array, and it was full of rhythm, but the British did not think that every step they took was going to die.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, the distance is getting closer and closer, the British did not shoot, Sanyu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, according to the information they learned from Western merchants, the British Red Shirts generally shot at a distance of fifty meters, and broke the enemy in one wave.

Now the British are proving that.

However, Sanyu Zhu would not give the British a chance to enter fifty meters, and with his order, the soldiers fired a volley at a distance of ninety meters.

After the dense gunfire of "pop bang ......", the soldiers in the front row of the British array suddenly fell almost in a row, but the British soldiers in the British array did not panic, and the soldiers in the back immediately filled the vacancy in front of them, appearing disciplined.

"Machine gun!"

The discipline of the British soldiers surprised San, who had rarely encountered such a disciplined army in ten years of war, but it only made him excited.

As soon as the order was given, the soldiers immediately stopped advancing to make way for the machine gunners, and the machine gunners in the back row immediately pushed the machine guns to the front.

The main shooter held the bolt, and the secondary shooter quickly loaded the belt, and the distance between the two armies was only 60 meters.

"Fire!"

Everything was ready, Sanyuzhu shouted, by this time the British had reached fifty meters, and the British soldiers stopped and raised their flintlock pistols to aim.

"Da Da Da ......"

Before the British soldiers could pull the trigger, the first batch of twenty machine guns ashore spat out tongues of fire, and the bullets flew towards the British soldiers like a chain, and the British soldiers who were densely packed together fell one after another.
