The sentry named Mike stretched and said, "Donaldson, what's there to see." The merchant ships of the Chinese Empire are still passing in the Southern Ocean, and now that they are at war with us, there will naturally be fewer cargo ships, are they waiting for us to rob? ”

Donaldson put down his binoculars and said with a serious expression: "The situation is very wrong, even if it is very rare, there will be one or two ships passing by every hour." Today I have been watching for two hours in a row, and there is not even a single ship, could it be that the navy of the Chinese Empire has made some moves. ”

Mike simply sat on the ground, leaned against the female wall and sighed: "What else to see, even if you see it, what can we do, with our tattered coastal artillery, can we still resist the battleships of the Chinese Empire?" ”

Mike nagged two more words, and when he found that Donaldson hadn't spoken, he looked up and asked, "Well, I said why didn't you speak." ”

Mike looked up, only to see Donaldson's face turn pale, pointing to the front with one hand, and stammering, "Military...... Warships, a lot of warships, are enemy attacks. When he said the worst, his voice had turned into a scream.

Hearing Donaldson's words, Mike jumped to his feet, and when he stood up and looked into the distance, there was already a scene on the sea that he would never forget. Under the mist, three huge Zhonghua-class battleships, escorted by a group of Wanghai-class cruisers and Swordfish-class destroyers, burst out of the fog, followed by many merchant ships that temporarily transported supplies and soldiers, they were densely covered with more than 200 ships, and the Chinese Empire finally came.

Donaldson and Mike both screamed and pounced on the alarm bells hanging from the roof of the tower. The mournful sirens soon spread throughout Tamsui Harbor, and all the Sahr people were busy, the civilians retreated into bunkers, and the warriors entered the forts in preparation for a great battle with the Chinese Empire.

At this time, Sun Xiaohu stood in high spirits on his flagship 'Jiuhua', which was the fourth ship of the Zhonghua-class battleship and the latest one of the Southern Ocean Fleet. Looking at the busy Thar soldiers on the opposite headland, and then at the huge fleet behind him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"According to the original plan, start the attack." Sun Xiaohu gave an order, and the three leading Zhonghua-class battleships stepped forward one after another, gradually passing the hull sideways, and there were still fifteen kilometers away from the opposite fortress, and the twenty-four 305-millimeter main guns of the three Chinese-class battleships raised their muzzles.

The sound of bombardment of artillery rang out continuously, and large-caliber naval artillery shells hit the fortress of the Sahr army one after another. At this distance, the artillery of the Saar army did not have enough range and could only watch dryly. One after another, the shells fell around the fortress, blowing up countless rubble, hitting the fortress with a crisp sound, frightening the Thar soldiers stationed there to shrink their heads.

The first round of fire did not hit the target, but the fortress did not move, as if it were a fixed target, and after correction, the second round of shelling soon came. Two shells fell on the walls of the fort one after the other, blasting two large craters in the fort, and although they did not penetrate the thick walls of the fort, they left a shocking crack in the wall.

At this time, Mike and Donaldson, who were on the lookout, had already taken refuge in the fort in fright, and a third round of artillery fire followed, this time five shells hit the fort, and the impact of the large-caliber shells shook the fort for a while, and the rubble flew everywhere, and the fort could not withstand it.

The fortress of the Saar people was built more than ten years ago, and the walls of the fortress were indeed very strong according to the level of naval guns at that time, but with the rapid development of technology, this stone fortress has become more and more inadequate. The guns of the Chinese-class battleships were firing more and more accurately, and the fortress was becoming more and more dilapidated, seeing that their fortress guns could not reach each other at all, and the walls of the fortress were gradually weakened, and those Saar soldiers no longer dared to hold on, and withdrew one after another.

By clearing the fortress on the headland, the fleet can attack closer to the port. Several cruisers and destroyers immediately approached the port of Tamsui and shelled with their own main guns. The few small gunboats of the Saar did not dare to sail, so they had to huddle in the harbor and be bombarded.

Tamsui Harbor is located in the narrowest part of the Strait of Malacca, although it is a sea point, but there is no good terrain, the waterway of the harbor is very wide, except for the headland there is no decent high ground to build turrets, so when the fortress on the headland is destroyed, the entire Tamsui port is considered undefended.

Under the bombardment of cruisers and destroyers, several gunboats sank one after another, and several of the Sahr merchant ships docked in the harbor were also unlucky. These merchant ships were all intercepted here after the Chinese Empire entered the war, and they were unable to return to China, and now their hiding places are not safe.

Seeing that the gunboats were destroyed, the troops of the Saar colonial army did not dare to continue to hold on to the port of Tamsui, and they retreated to the forts in the inland area. Seeing the retreat of the Saar army, the transports quickly put down one assault boat after another, and they rushed towards the dock at a very fast speed.

There were two loud bangs, and the first two assault boats were blown to pieces. "There are mines." There was a burst of exclamation in the assault boat team, and they all reduced their speed. Two loud bangs, this time from the interior, as if to think of the Chinese army's demonstration, the range of the artillery of the inland fortress can already threaten the port.

"It's a really tricky question." Sun Xiaohu frowned. It is indeed difficult for the Sahr to mine in the harbor, but it is not impossible to solve. From the rear of the fleet soon appeared more than twenty wooden fishing boats, each with more than a dozen large nets hung.

After starting the diesel engine, more than 20 fishing boats went out one after another, and six of them quickly sailed out of the team, and they quickly opened a large net in a group of two boats, which were the first generation of minesweepers of the Chinese Imperial Navy.

The minesweeper moved slowly, the fishing net was half-sunk into the water and dragged forward, and the Saar Empire only had anchor mines and drifting mines learned from the Chinese Empire.

A clatter of firing was followed by an explosion, and it was the naval fighters using the anti-aircraft machine gun in the bow of the ship to deal with the drifting mines on the sea, which was also the only weapon on the minesweeper. The drifting mines were all on the surface of the sea and were easily spotted, and these mines were detonated one after another by machine gun bullets, and the fishing nets on the ship gradually became heavy, and there were already anchor mines that were caught in the nets.

The minesweeper moved slowly, and a large net was soon overwhelmed, and the fighters on both sides tied a large float to the net, and then released the ropes from the ship.

Due to the weight of the mines, the floats on both sides gradually moved closer together, and the mines were suspended there. The minesweeper reloaded with a large net and continued to sweep mines, and when the minesweeper had traveled a little farther, the fighters with machine guns in their hands fired at the floating area, detonating the anchor mines there.

The minesweepers continued to advance, and with such a way of minesweeping, there were fewer and fewer mines outside the port. With a loud bang, a minesweeper hit a mine, and the hull of the boat was suddenly torn apart, and all four soldiers on board died heroically.

The faces of the other comrades on the minesweepers showed a hint of pain, but they quickly focused their energies on minesweeping again, such a task could not tolerate a trace of sloppiness, and once they were distracted, they would be like looking for death. A minesweeper, which was on standby in the back, sped forward and quickly filled the vacancy of the bombed minesweeper.

Seeing that the minesweepers of the Chinese Imperial Navy were clearing mines, the Sahr people looked a little panicked, and they opened fire from the inland fortresses, but unfortunately this was already the maximum range of their fortress guns, such an attack was completely inaccurate, and the threat to the minesweepers was not great.

The minesweeper force continued to advance, and after the loss of three minesweepers, a safe channel was quickly cleared. Several warships of the Chinese Empire were covered by artillery fire outside the harbor, and the assault boats moved forward again, along the newly opened safe channel, towards the pier of Tamsui Harbor.

The bombardment of artillery continued, and the Saar people also knew that the other side could not let the other side land easily, and they could no longer take care of their dock facilities, and bombarded them with various types of artillery in the fortress.

Braving heavy artillery fire, the assault boats quickly approached, and the agile warriors quickly landed, looking for shelter among the fortified houses on the docks. Many assault boats were affected by the air waves of the shell explosion, the hull overturned and threw the soldiers into the water, and even more unfortunate were those assault boats that were directly hit, and the whole boat and the soldiers on it were directly blown up without bones.

Soon the fortress could no longer care about the landing marines, because behind them again the sound of artillery sounded. The attack of the Chinese Empire was not all the way, and behind the Tamsui Port fortress was the Siam State, an ally of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire naturally would not let go of such an advantage.

Just when the Southern Ocean Fleet was covering the 1st Marine Corps and launching a landing operation at Tamsui Port, the three armies of the Wehrmacht, with the cooperation of the two armies of Siam, launched an attack on Tamsui Port by land in the other direction of the port.

Siam did not have good enough roads, and it was a rainforest area, so the Wehrmacht could not carry a variety of large-caliber artillery, and this time the largest caliber artillery they brought was only 105 mm.

As soon as the troops of the land attack arrived, the Wehrmacht artillery began to build positions for the artillery, because the defenders of the port of Tamsui were busy dealing with the threat from the sea, not noticing that behind them there was an army hiding in the jungle.

Just as the marines at sea began to land, the Wehrmacht artillery rang out. In line with the attack from the sea, the Siamese army launched an attack on the Sahr fortress, and the dense bullets were fired at the female wall of the fort, and sparks flew everywhere, frightening the few Sahr defenders from raising their heads.

Seeing that the enemy was attacking on land, the Sahr hurried to gather reinforcements in this direction, and at the same time turned all the fortress artillery around and bombarded the Wehrmacht artillery.

The Wehrmacht's artillery was small, and although the firing range was much longer than the 105 mm guns of the Sahr, the Sahr fortress guns were 356 mm in caliber, and they were placed in high fortress fortifications, and their range was not comparable to that of the Wehrmacht artillery.
