Chapter 296: Stubborn Resistance
The battle lasted for nearly two hours, and the two-hour battle allowed Fu Helin's troops to take down two tribes of more than 1,000 people, which can be said to be completely beyond expectations, but as the battle circle went deeper and deeper into the forest, it meant that the difficulty was also increasing.

The closer they are to the coastal and outside indigenous tribes, in fact, their battles are not considered the strongest, but the more they go inside, it is not necessarily, aside from the advantage in weapons, at this time, if the Australian army is engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the other party, it is not necessarily certain that they can win the other party.
How to say it, the combat effectiveness of those natives is not weak, it is not something that these recruits can deal with, although they all performed very well during training, but they may not be able to win the other party, this is the conclusion that Fu and Lin have reached through the experience of the previous times, don't think this is a bit exaggerated.
The ability of cannibal tribes is still there, there are a lot of strong men, and these peripheral indigenous tribes often become food in their mouths, so you can imagine how great their combat power is.
If there is no advantage in weapons, not to mention, Fu Helin really doesn't dare to take these people into the depths of the dense forest, it is simply looking for death.
The natives naturally don't know that Australia is sending soldiers to clear them at this time, maybe they are still carnival at this time, and there is no alliance between the natives, which is the biggest benefit for Australia, so they can be divided and encircled.
The two-hour battle consumes a lot of ammunition, but it is still within an acceptable range, and the largest consumption is still artillery shells, and the requirements for artillery are very strict with the army command, even if it takes a little more artillery to train, it is necessary to train a unit that can fight.
The artillery brigade was the main fire support point for this operation, and unlike ordinary army soldiers, they did not need to charge into battle, but only needed to manage their own artillery to support friendly forces.
After several rounds of fierce artillery fighting, the soldiers of the artillery company have basically accepted the current state, and Fu Helin asked them to shoot as few blind artillery as possible, so that one shell can kill the least dozen people, or destroy a building.
After all, after a few rounds of shooting, they have to master certain skills and experience, and they have not fought less when they learned in the army, so they cannot look at this problem in a simple way.
Commander, further on is the third indigenous tribe we have cleared today, and we are getting closer and closer to the cannibal tribe, and I suggest that we better set up camp in the old place, do you think?
Fu Helin looked at the time, it was already more than 16 o'clock in the afternoon, and if he attacked now, it would be fought until night, once it was dark, the tropical rainforest forest was very dangerous, there were all kinds of snakes, insects and poisonous ants, these things were even more frightening than the natives.
At least the natives can be found in sneak attacks, those bugs are too small, and they may not be found at all if they bite you, so they can't be generalized, and they must be treated differently.
Fu and Lin have fought a few battles here, so they naturally know the situation here, so when the junior officer came to ask, he directly agreed, let the troops camp in the old place to rest, and everyone have a good rest tonight and take the front three tribes in one fell swoop tomorrow.
Compared with Fu and Lin's side of the battle, Lu Yong and others, who were in charge of the southern landing operation, had not yet landed ashore at this time.
They never thought that the indigenous tribes on the shore would actually be the first to attack, as long as their landing craft approached, the natives hiding in the dense forest would project a lot of things, which made their landing fail for the first time.
Originally, Sun Yang wanted to use the navy's artillery to support, but later he found out that these natives were actually very smart and knew how to hide, hiding in places where artillery fire could not be fired.
It's not a way to go on like this, Commander-in-Chief Fu has already taken a few indigenous tribes, and we haven't made any moves, so we will definitely be laughed at when we go back, and I suggest that the navy land at the same time as artillery support.
To say that Lu Yong is really a little anxious, Fu and Lin fought smoothly over there, but they haven't landed here yet, this battle is called a failure, and I don't know how to go back and explain.
If you don't come out with a little real ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have the opportunity to be reused in the future, and being promoted by the army commander means that he has outstanding ability, but now this is the situation so how to say it, not to mention anything else, he really doesn't know how to go back and explain.
Well, I think it should be possible, but we need to be careful with coordination, otherwise we may be injured by our own artillery fire.
Sun Yang affirmed his request, if he didn't get ashore, he was also responsible, not to mention taking credit, it would be good not to punish him.
Now that we have agreed, let's get to work, and we will try to build fortifications on the shore before it gets dark, and launch a general attack early tomorrow morning.
Now that it is almost dark, it is still very urgent to take control of the shore, and the time is a bit tight.
Without saying anything else, Lu Yong jumped on a landing craft first, and then waited for the cover of naval fire.
If they are to say that they have these high-grade weapons in their hands, if they are defeated by a group of natives, no one will believe them, and I am afraid that even the Dutch will think that this is a joke, let alone any prestige, and they may become a laughing stock at that time.
must not become a laughing stock, if this is the case, how can I mix in the military circles in the future, this is related to the honor of Australia.
Boom, boom after a few loud bangs. Cannonballs kept falling on the shore, blasting dirt and plants into the sky.
Now that the landing began, Lu Yong gave an order, and the assault boat rushed to the shore quickly, so it was the first time for them to fight under the cover of artillery fire, in fact, many people were very afraid in their hearts, they were afraid that the shells would fall on their heads, which was the main reason.
This time, there was constant artillery bombardment, and the natives on the shore seemed to have stopped a lot, at least they didn't run out of the woods to throw poles or anything like that, and it was estimated that they would still be hiding far away.
After landing, Lu Yong gathered his troops and quickly built fortifications, he had to build the fortifications before the enemy reacted, otherwise he would have no chance to carry out after they reacted.
At this time, the natives were still hiding out of the range of the shells, for them these enemies were simply too tenacious, more powerful than the cannibal tribes hiding in the dense forest, they wanted to repel the other party, but the other party's attack was getting bigger and bigger, which made them very discouraged.
