Harrig was startled and hurriedly asked Hemmer what was the matter?

Heimer pointed out: "Today, the Chinese warships are training! ”

He saw the clue with his experience, and the Chinese warships took turns to sharpen their gunnery and maneuvering with the help of the fort, and the more accurate they became, if it weren't for the strong wall of the fort, I was afraid that it would have been defeated long ago.

Heimer said: "It is very likely that tomorrow the Chinese will land and no longer attack the fort!" "He proposed to counter-charge the Chinese landing forces as much as possible, not to allow them to gather in groups.

"Otherwise we're in big trouble!" Haimer said that he saw the strength of the Chinese warship, and at the same time decided that the Chinese infantry was also very powerful.

He was absolutely right.

……

The next day, the weather was not good, and above the harbor, the gray sky was covered with low clouds, like black clouds overheading, which was ominous.

The South-Eastern Fleet did not attack the battery on the right side of the harbor again, they turned to the shoreline on the left side of the harbor, and methodically began to bombard the coconut groves behind the beach----- the South-Eastern Army saw the indigenous troops hiding in the jungle.

Although a large number of shells were poured out, such a bombardment was purely a whole number of shells, not explosive shells, and the probability of an iron lump hitting a person was not high, but it covered the warship with smoke, and the sea breeze blew the smoke onto the shore.

……

During the naval shelling, Sergeant Red, who was located on the Walrus III transport, silently looked at the unfamiliar beach, wondering if he would die here.

Red is very young, eighteen years old, more than eight meters tall, burly and powerful, he is not from the southeast coast, but a Liao people, his ancestral home is Shenyang. In fact, the advantage of the Southeast Army's participation in the fight against the old wild boar skin outside the border is that more and more Liao and northerners defected to the Southeast Prefecture through the offices of the Southeast Army, and in a few years, there were no less than 100,000 people!

Red is a member of the tide of northerners defecting to the southeast province, he went to the southeast province with his family, according to the decree of the southeast province, he was drafted into the army at the age of sixteen, and became a small soldier, relying on his height and strength, and not too stupid, he soon became a non-commissioned officer.

This is the benefit of a new regime, vigorous and upward, warships are constantly being built, the ranks are constantly expanding, and everyone is very happy.

I didn't sleep very well last night, it was steaming hot in the warship, and the weather here was hot enough!

Red fell asleep intermittently, and the day was already white and shining at four o'clock on the day of the attack, so Red had woken up at four o'clock, and he couldn't sleep because he woke up early and felt unwell.

When breakfast was served after half past five, he forced himself to eat pork offal noodles, two boiled eggs and two large steamed buns!

The supply of the Southeast Fleet is strong enough, it is more connotative than before, the fresh water is replenished by finding an uninhabited island with a water source, and there are coal ships accompanying it to provide fuel for each ship, and there are four ships full of pigs and chickens, which is how pork came, and it is said that cattle were also brought!

Those ship bosses are of a very high level, they take these poultry and livestock to sail, the mortality rate is very low, it can only be said that the Chinese can do anything, they have incredible power!

When the war was about to go, the food of the Southeast Army was particularly good, and the chef shouted: "Eat enough, eat enough!" "Stuff everyone's belly to the brim as if everyone is going to eat their last meal!

It was noisy on the transport ship, and after eating, Red and his commander, Second Lieutenant Qian Shiping, grabbed their backpacks, took their rifles, armored helmets, pistol belts, and machetes and went to the deck.

Unlike the Army, which can be equipped with exaggerated eight-gun muskets, the Marines have at most an extra pistol for themselves in addition to rifles, and if they have too much equipment, if they fall into the water, they will not be able to sink and get up.

However, Red still brought his eighty-centimeter-long ghost head knife and stuck it in his backpack.

Second Lieutenant Qian Shiping, a newly appointed officer, and he and Red were in charge of a platoon.

The brothers in the platoon gathered next to the officer one after another, and seeing the gloomy sky, everyone's mood involuntarily became gloomy, and they were a little worried about today's attack.

The artillery of battleships and cruisers bombarded the coast, and despite knowing the low rate of hits, Red thought: "The more artillery fires, the better!" ”

First, it may kill the enemy, and secondly, the sound of artillery will cheer everyone up, and every time the heavy artillery is bombarded continuously, the morale will be improved.

There is a water tank with boiling water on the deck, and Red fills his two tin kettles with water, and urges his comrades to fill their kettles with water, he knows very well not to drink raw water in the wild, otherwise diarrhea will be acceptable to everyone, in this order issued by the Chinese soldiers have always been resolutely implemented, the Koreans, Japanese and Annam people in the Imperial Allied Army are also executed, and the indigenous army is often too lazy not to execute, but they drink raw water everywhere and do not have diarrhea---- and later found that the Indian Ah San, who joined the Imperial Allied Army in the southeast province, They also have this incredible ability, and even stronger, they can drink dirty water without diarrhea!

That's it, the red-headed Ah San who can drink the smorgasbord of heavy flavors on the surface of the Ganges River without changing its color, and we Chinese have no choice but to bow down.

The worst thing is the foreign gun team, the white people don't like to drink boiled water, and they will have diarrhea when they drink raw water, and the whole team of whites will have diarrhea and make a miasma, these stupid people!

……

As a non-commissioned officer, Red checked the equipment of the soldiers in his platoon, especially their ammunition pouches, which were protected from moisture and used sealed bags made of tin foil to ensure that no water would enter.

Standing on a high place, the Mazu priest who used the earthen horn overwhelmed the rest of the voices, and Red heard the voice of the priest Qiu Dake in the camp: "With the blessing of Mazu Niangniang, we will definitely win!" Most of you will return, but some will go from being warriors under the Archon to being warriors under Mazu Niangniang! His voice provoked some ungodly discussions, but everyone prayed along with the priest: "Merciful and compassionate Mazu Niangniang, we pray to you with great reverence, please bless us with a long martial luck and peace for all, and we are willing to bring your glory to all oceans and continents!" ”

After the prayers, the Marines boarded the boat and prepared to land on the beach!

Second Lieutenant Qian Shiping began to climb down the net rope ladder on the side of the ship, while Red remained on the deck to catch up with the second lieutenant, and they boarded three small boats that could carry twenty people in a platoon, and everyone sat down, picked up the oars and began to row.

The Marines were professionally trained, coordinated and forceful, and the dinghy rushed toward the shore as if it were equipped with a motor!

However, as the wind and waves grew stronger, the sea splashed on everyone's faces, and the Marines had let go of their hearts, happily breathing in the salty sea breeze, and welcoming the sea, and they were rocking in the sea, munching on milk candy, beef jerky, and dried sweet potatoes in their mouths, which was very useful for relaxation.

Rush to the beach, the beach is in sight, and see the hordes of indigenous warriors pouring out of the seaside jungle!
