In three days, in just three days, one division of French infantry and one division of British infantry completed the assembly in Malacca, with more than 30,000 troops in two divisions! Prepare for the march towards northern China. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, at this time, the Governor of Malaysia, Walcott, and the French Governor of the Far East, Ben Zeming, also received intelligence from the Philippines, and the Chinese general Chen Hai threatened to ambush the reinforcements of the Four-Nation Alliance with the Shandong Navy Division in the Taiwan Strait, so as to nip the danger in the bud!
Spain's Philippine fleet, which had just been buried in the hands of the Shandong Navy Division, and now was about to ambush and reinforce the Anglo-French forces in the Taiwan Strait, whether it was Walcott or Benzeming, their hearts were shrouded in a layer of haze!
Shandong Navy Division is not easy to mess with, it is said that this fleet is a new type of ironclad ship just supervised by the United States, with strong defense, rapid firepower, and there are 17 large and small warships, such strength should not be underestimated.
"Walcott, things are very tricky, our French fleet has a total of ten warships, the main battleships are only five, and the rest are gunboats, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand the opponent's ambush......"
Ben Zeming said in a deep voice.
Walket is also ruthless, it's hard, it's very difficult! Yes, the Asian Fleet is indeed very powerful, and now there are more than 130 main warships of the British Empire, of which 15 are in the Asian warships, plus some small gunboats, and the Asian Fleet has more than 30 warships, which is enough to ensure that the Asian Fleet has an advantage, but it must also be dispatched by all.
Protect the forces of the two divisions to go to the Chinese seas, once defeated by the Shandong Navy Division in the Taiwan Strait, the land forces of those two divisions will all be buried in the sea, such a loss not only the French can not afford, but also the British Empire!
"Well, in order to ensure that our reinforcements can arrive in Tianjin safely, the British Empire will send twelve capital warships and twelve gunboats to China, General Ben Zeming, I hope that your army can also send five warships to participate in this escort, as long as the Shandong Navy Division dares to appear in our sight, then annihilate it on the spot, we will dispatch nearly thirty warships to defeat the Shandong Navy Division, that is expected!"
Walcott concluded.
"However, our fleets have been transferred to Chinese waters, so what if the South China Sea is invaded?"
Ben Zeming asked with a frown.
"Hehe, General Benzeming, do you think that there are still people who dare to fight us blatantly at this time? Moreover, now that the Shandong Naval Division is moving northward, it is clear that it is going to the waters of Taiwan to ambush us, and without the Shandong Naval Division, who can pose a threat to the Indochina Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula in the entire South Sea? ”
Walcott replied with a sneer.
Ben Zeming thought about it, the strength of the Chinese mercenary corps is all sluggish in the Philippines, and the Shandong Navy Division is heading north, so there is no second force in the entire South China Sea that can challenge the military presence of Britain and France in the short term, as for the long term, after a long time, the fleet will return to the South Seas, and the British fleets in India and Australia can also rush over.
Benzemin, who was relieved, and Walcott sent their own military forces at the same time and began to operate. The British and French mixed fleet protected two infantry divisions and dozens of troop carriers and began to strengthen Malacca, heading quickly towards Chinese waters!
Dine Aran City, Philippines.
The news quickly spread here, and Chen Hai jumped up excitedly, great, the British and French mixed fleet has finally moved, and now it's time for the Shandong Navy Division to go on the expedition!
"Come on, take a boat immediately, rule Ding Ruchang, the British and French forces have already begun to move, let their warships wait for the first division to follow, immediately march quickly in the direction of Malacca, give me a hard blow, we must completely disrupt Malacca!"
Chen Hai shouted.
The operational staff officer hurriedly ran down to convey the combat order.
Chen Hai's order was issued, but he calmed down, now it depends on the actions of the 2nd Division and the 1st Brigade, whether they can quickly take Luzon Island is also the top priority!
Sixty miles northeast of Jiafan, the Spanish Seventh Brigade is still advancing rapidly, and the entire Seventh Brigade has not yet received the news of the fall of the port of Ding Alan due to the rapid advance.
More than a hundred miles forward was about to reach the vicinity of Ding Alan City, and the Seventh Brigade still did not dare to relax its pace and advanced rapidly.
But what they didn't know now was that on the main road, which was less than three kilometers away from them, a division of troops was also moving in front of them, and the second division of Vill Hengtong had already caught up.
The order received by Vil Hengtong was to gather and annihilate the enemy's 7th Brigade on the spot, and the entire 2nd Division had also advanced nearly 100 miles to the west, waiting for the 7th Brigade to pounce.
Finally, the two armies met.
This encounter was an inevitable result, and in the telescope, Vill Hengtong saw the team of the Seventh Brigade in the distance, and his heart was relieved, and he finally waited for them!
"Order, the whole division moves forward and launches an attack on the Seventh Brigade!"
With the order of Virhengton, the entire Second Division moved, and one artillery gun after another was erected, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed directly ahead.
The cavalry regiment began to gallop into the distance, preparing to surprise the flank of the Spanish 7th Brigade.
"Boom, boom!"
With the sound of artillery, the siege of the 2nd Division began, and shells fired at the Spanish troops in the distance.
At this time, the commander of the seventh brigade, Miku, had also discovered the mercenary corps in front at this time, Miku's heart sank, just looking at it in the telescope, the opponent's strength was not less than the strength of two brigades, it was very likely to be three brigades! Three times the strength of your own troops!
"Order, all departments immediately prepare for battle!"
As soon as Miku's order was given, the sound of artillery was already sounding from the opposite side, and one shell after another was coming, at least seventy or eighty shells!
I'm a mother, such a powerful artillery force! Seventy or eighty shells, that means there is at least one regiment of artillery, this is still a fart? You can't beat people at all!
However, the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible not to fight, the distance between the two sides is too close, even if you run, it is difficult to escape this catastrophe!
Fight!
"Enemy attack, fight, fight, fight with all your might!"
Miku roared and commanded the Seventh Brigade to begin emergency deployment, preparing for battle, and in an instant, the area was covered in artillery fire,
