Iron Dynasty

Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming had a smile on his face after reading Wang Xuan's telegram. Just as he planned, now that the coalition forces were blocked, trouble finally broke out.

In fact, what is feared by soldiers is not death in battle, but missing relatives in an environment far away from home, which will completely disintegrate the will of the soldiers.

This is the problem faced by the chaotic army now, because every soldier in the coalition army does not know how long this blockade will last, maybe half a year, maybe a year, or ten or twenty years.

But no matter how many years, the only certainty is that they can't break through this blockade at all, which is really desperate.

Give Lei Ming an order and tell him that he can start. Xiao Ming said.

In the intelligence, Wang Xuan also mentioned the issue of the federal army's food and grass. If the federal army is desperate for food, it will be beneficial to them to ask the natives for food.

The reason why the United Kingdom can live peacefully with the native states is that they rarely interfere with the native states. If this is broken, there will be a chain reaction.

The angry native state is likely to use force to counter the British behavior, so that the British will not have the convenience of sitting on the throne.

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

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

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

The secret guard ships anchored at the mouth of the Ganges have received a telegram from Calcutta. The telegram clearly describes the current situation in Calcutta and drags them out of the entire route of action.

Of course there's no problem with this. As long as he gets to the sea, even if Cao Kun has his wings attached, he won't be able to escape. Yue Yun sneered.

Lei Ming nodded. He looked in the direction of Calcutta and said, While they are in trouble with the natives, now is the best time to attack. We will send troops to Calcutta tomorrow.

The next day, with the help of imperial warships, the soldiers of the Southeast Army packed up the warships and were transported to the mouth of the Ganges in Calcutta. This was the frontal position of the coalition forces. As long as they broke through here, the coalition forces were completely defeated.

Numerous ships arrived at the mouth of the Ganges, which quickly attracted the attention of the coalition forces, and immediately the entire Calcutta defense line fell into chaos.

Buterin ordered people to go to the native country to grab food, naturally a conflict broke out with the native country, although the backward native soldiers were not worth mentioning to them.

But now it is fatal, because if the Empire attacks, they will be attacked on both sides.

It's really strange, how did they choose the timing so well. Buterin was so confused that he even suspected that Calcutta had their eyeliner now.

After just thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, because they monitored Cao Kun very strictly. During this time, these people were very disciplined, and no one went near the coast.

Shaking his head, Buterin no longer struggled with this matter, because he was currently facing the biggest crisis in his life.

Let all the soldiers go into the trench, and they're real this time, Buterin said.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of sounds of breaking through the air, and then a deafening explosion sounded on the battlefield.

Unpredictable, many coalition soldiers were killed and injured in the shelling, and for a while, the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling was everywhere.

On the sea, Lei Ming was observing the effect of the artillery bombardment. Before landing, preparing for an artillery fire has almost become a fixed formula for the imperial war.

Now all the ironclad ships on the sea are aiming their muzzles at the positions on the coast, and the dark muzzles spit fire tongues from time to time.

On the other hand, the coalition's position was filled with air and flames, and the soil was lifted into the air again and again by the shock wave of the shell, and then scattered.

The firepower of the navy is fierce. Chang Yuzhu was lying on the side of the ship with a telescope, looking envious.

When Lei Ming heard this, he glanced at the thick caliber of the artillery on the battleship. Compared with the field gun, the caliber of the ironclad ship was obviously much larger, and there was no need to mention the power.

The naval artillery power is good, but we have to rely on us to win the position. Lei Ming glared at San Yuzhu, Don't go to prepare for the landing operation. If you can't win the beachhead today, let's see how I clean up you.

Chang Yuzhu put away the dangling appearance with a solemn face, and shouted at the soldiers under his command to let the boat down.

Unlike previous attacks, this time they had to land under the continuous fire cover of the navy, so that they could avoid encountering the intensive firepower of the other side as soon as they landed.

on the coast.

Butlin's face became very ugly when he saw the imperial soldiers coming towards 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 faces, which created a stable landing environment for the imperial soldiers.

Go, let everyone fight back, hurry up! Buterin grabbed a messenger and pushed out of the bunker, but before the messenger could run five meters away, a shell fell on his side and flew away.

Buterin was also affected by the shell explosion, and the dirt hole in his bunker was rusted with dust.

Looking at the torn messenger, Buterin had to find another messenger to convey the order.

He was just disappointed. Most of the coalition soldiers did not come out of the earth hole after receiving the order, and they still curled up. Only a few soldiers boarded the trench, but under the continuous fire, these soldiers soon suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, the boats of the imperial soldiers were getting closer and closer, and soon, the first batch of imperial soldiers landed safely on the shore, followed by the second and third batches.

The soldiers who came ashore quickly purchased beach defenses, and some soldiers began to use continuous fire weapons to straf the trenches, which led to a rapid increase in coalition casualties in the trenches.

San Yuzhu also landed on the beach. This time, his regiment was the first to land, but after all his regiments landed, the sound of shelling at sea suddenly stopped.

At this time, Chang Yuzhu also stopped the machine gun that was firing. He took out a tin horn and shouted in British language: My friend on the opposite side, I am the first regiment of the First Division of the First Army of the Southeast Military Region of the Empire. Commander, my name is Chang Yuzhu. Now I officially inform you that there are two things on the battleship behind me. The first is bullets, and the second is bread. Now put down your guns and you can go to the battleship. Eat bread, wait for your country to bring you back to Europe, or you will have to wait to eat guns, you have tasted our firepower, it is not good, it is too late to make a choice, choose!

He shouted it in British words, and then he shouted it again in the words of other countries in the coalition, which the interpreter taught him temporarily.

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