Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming had a smile on his face after reading Wang Xuan's telegram, just as he had planned, now that the coalition forces were blocked, there was finally chaos.

In fact, the fear for soldiers is not to die on the battlefield, but to miss their relatives in an environment far from home, which will completely disintegrate the soldier's will.

This is the problem that the rebels are facing now, because every soldier in the coalition forces does not know how long this blockade will last, maybe half a year, maybe a year, or ten years, twenty years.

But no matter how many years it takes, the only thing that is certain is that they simply won't be able to break through this blockade, and that's what makes people truly desperate.

"Give Lei Ming an order and tell him that he can do it." Xiao Ming said.

In the intelligence, Wang Xuan also mentioned the problem of food and grass for the federal army, and if the federal army was hungry and went to the princely states to ask for food, it would be beneficial to them.

The reason Britain was able to live at peace with the princely states was that they rarely interfered with the princely states, and if this was broken, there would be a ripple effect.

The enraged princely states are likely to use force to counter the British actions, so that Britain will no longer be able to sit in the prime of affairs.

"Yes, Your Majesty." In response, Qian Dafu turned around and entered the side hall, where the telegraph was in the side hall.

Seven days later, Xiao Ming's order arrived at Xinjiapo, which made Lei Ming and Yue Yun's spirits suddenly rise.

"General Yue, this Cao family father and son will be handed over to you." Lei Ming said.

The guards anchored at the mouth of the Ganges had received a telegram from Calcutta, which clearly described the present situation in Calcutta, and had dragged out the entire route of their movements.

"This is naturally no problem, as long as he gets to the sea, he Cao Kun can't run away even if he has wings." Yue Yun sneered.

Lei Ming nodded, he looked in the direction of Calcutta and said, "While they are in trouble with the princely states, now is the best time to attack, and the army will be sent to Calcutta tomorrow." ”

The next day, with the help of imperial warships, the soldiers of the Southeastern Army packed the battleships and were transported to the mouth of the Ganges River in Calcutta, which was the frontal position of the coalition forces, and as soon as they broke through, the coalition forces were completely defeated.

The arrival of numerous ships at the mouth of the Ganges soon attracted the attention of the coalition forces, and the entire Calcutta defense line was thrown into disarray.

Naturally, Buterin sent people to the princely states to grab food, and the conflict broke out with the princely states, although the backward princely soldiers were not worth mentioning to them.

But now it's going to be fatal, because once the empire attacks, they will be attacked on both sides.

"It's strange how they chose the right time." Buterin was so confused that he now even suspected that Calcutta had their eyeliner.

It's just that after thinking about it, he thinks it's impossible, because they have strict monitoring of Cao Kun, and these people are very well-behaved during this time, and no one goes to the coast.

Shaking his head, Buterin no longer dwelled on the matter, because he was facing the biggest crisis of his life.

"Let the soldiers all go into the trenches, they are serious this time." Buterin said.

As soon as his words fell, suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air, and then a deafening explosion sounded on the battlefield.

Caught off guard, many coalition soldiers were killed and wounded in the shelling, and for a time the position was full of ghosts and wolves.

On the sea, Thunder was observing the effects of the artillery bombardment, and it was almost the norm for the Empire to prepare for artillery fire before landing.

Now all the ironclad ships on the sea are aiming their guns at their positions on the coast, and the swarthy muzzles of their guns are occasionally spitting tongues of fire.

In the positions of the coalition forces, there were flames of air, and the earth was lifted into the air again and again by the shock wave of the artillery shells, and then scattered.

"The navy's firepower is fierce." Chang Yuzhu was lying on the side of the ship with a telescope, with a look of envy.

Hearing this, Lei Ming glanced at the thick caliber of the guns on the battleship, compared to the field guns, the caliber of the ironclad ship was obviously much larger, and there was no need to say that the power was great.

"The Navy's artillery is good, but it's up to us to take the position." Lei Ming glared at Chang Yuzhu, "If you don't prepare for the landing operation, if you can't take the beachhead today, see how I clean you up." ”

Sanyuzhu put away the appearance of Hang'er Langdang, his face was solemn, and he shouted to the soldiers under his command to put the boat down.

Unlike previous attacks, this time they had to land under the cover of constant naval fire, so as to avoid encountering dense fire from the enemy as soon as they landed.

on the coast.

Buterin's face turned ugly when he saw the Imperial soldiers approaching the coast under the cover of artillery fire.

Under the shelling, the now demoralized coalition soldiers hid in the trenches and did not dare to show their heads, which created a stable landing environment for the imperial soldiers.

"Go, let everyone fight back, quick!" Buterin grabbed a herald and pushed out of cover, but the herald was blown away by a cannonball that landed on his side before he could get five meters away.

Buterin was also affected by the explosion of the shell, and the dirt hole in the bunker where he was located was covered in dust.

Looking at the fragmented heralds, Buterin had to find another herald to deliver the order.

It only disappointed him, most of the coalition soldiers did not get out of the dirt hole after receiving the order, and still curled up, only a small number of soldiers climbed the trench, but under the continuous fire, these soldiers quickly suffered heavy casualties.

And at this time the boats of the Imperial soldiers were getting closer and closer, and soon, the first group of Imperial soldiers landed safely on the shore, followed by the second, and then the third.

The soldiers who landed ashore quickly procured beach defenses, while some began to strafe the trenches with a continuous stream of weapons, causing a rapid increase in coalition casualties in the trenches.

Sanyuzhu also landed on the beach, and this time it was his regiment that landed first, and after all his regiments landed, the shelling of the sea suddenly stopped.

At this time, Sanyuzhu also stopped the machine gun that was strafing, he took out an iron horn, and shouted in the language of the British: "Friend on the other side, I am the commander of the first regiment under the command of the first division of the first army of the southeastern military region of the empire, my name is Chang Yuzhu, now I officially inform you that there are two things on the battleship behind me, the first is bullets, the second is bread, now put down the guns in your hands, you can go to the battleship to eat bread, and wait for your country to take you back to Europe, otherwise you can only wait to eat guns, You've tasted our firepower, it's not comfortable, it's too late to make a choice, choose! ”

He shouted it again in the English language, and then again in the language of the other countries in the coalition forces, which the interpreter had taught him on an improvised basis.

Although his pronunciation is not very accurate, it is enough for the soldiers on the battlefield to understand.
