"Order the third team to immediately enter the town to support and resolutely counterattack the enemy."

"Order the heavy machine gun crew to retreat, let go of the blockade of the town, protect our rear roads, and prevent the enemy from making dumplings."

"Suppress the fire, everyone follow me...... Suppress the enemy's heavy machine gun fire, order the artillery group to get ready, give me the enemy's heavy machine gun fire point. ”

Duan Shurui immediately gave the order, then picked up his rifle and walked quickly to the second floor, raised his gun to aim at a gap opened by the artillery, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

There is smoke and dust ahead, and the vision is poor.

He could only shoot in the direction of the heavy machine-gun fire, and one shot after another, the two sides opened up fierce fire.

Due to the suddenness of the incident

The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd teams were suppressed by the heavy machine gun fire, and at this time a large number of thugs poured out of the barricades and were already not far from the soldiers holding the terraced houses, only thirty or forty meters away.

This made the mob ecstatic, and it only took one shock to form a hand-to-hand situation, and for the side with an absolute advantage in numbers, it seemed that it was safe to annihilate these hateful Orientals and get a rich bounty.

At this time, dozens of black guys suddenly appeared in the air, and a wisp of green smoke fell down with a wisp of green smoke at the end, and smashed on the head of a certain unlucky guy, and immediately knocked him out.

Oh, my god, what the hell is this?

The thugs didn't know that this was the Adams grenade that was so powerful during the American Civil War, so where is Citigroup? What the hell is an Addams grenade?

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The dense explosion of grenades set off one bloody storm after another in the dense formation of the mobs, which was nothing short of a massacre.

The dense crowd of attackers was instantly emptied into a large area, turning into severed limbs and corpses everywhere, and the thugs running behind were stunned by shock, and then turned around and ran with a strange scream, they were already frightened by these strange weapons.

"Hit, give me a hard beating......"

Round after round of dense volleys of gunfire, any thug who dared to show their form was knocked to the ground, and with the roar of shells, the two heavy machine guns that the thugs had been hiding for a long time were blown into parts, and all of them were dumbfounded.

The 60-mm field guns continued to roar, smashing the barricades blocking the front, and then combing the surrounding row houses with heavy artillery fire, blowing out a lot of cockroaches hiding inside, and they were injured and killed when they touched the roar of the artillery fire.

Out of prudence, Duan Qirui did not order the soldiers to continue the attack, but insisted on waiting for reinforcements.

And didn't wait long, about 10 minutes later.

The cavalry of the brigade rushed over in the dark, with a total of more than 600 people, in addition to more than 200 cavalry, there were also more than 400 Chinese militiamen, carrying a large number of artillery shells, and after a slight repair, they entered the town and attacked step by step.

With the mob almost all discouraged, the fighting was lackluster, with almost one-sided surrenders except for sporadic fighting, and the resistance completely collapsed, and the fighting ended quickly.

post-war statistics;

In this battle, 441 rioters were killed, 1,367 were captured, and about 600 of the remaining people fled into the mountains to escape the fighting.

The railway cavalry suffered more than 40 casualties, of which 13 were killed in battle, and the rest were lightly and seriously wounded.

Some 1,200 militiamen then moved into the town, erecting barbed wire and sentry posts on the roads leading to the mountains, completely blocking the town of Illawarra from the mountain coal mines, and clearing the wilderness to prevent any supplies from entering the mountains.

A rough estimate;

There are also no less than 1,100 thugs hiding in the endless mountains, so many people cannot live on hunting, and without the financial support of living materials, hiding in the mountains can only be a dead end.

From the town of Illawarra to the city of Wollongong, to the town of Panshi and the town of Snow Mountain, all the way is a stronghold of the Chinese who are tightly sealed, and if the white ranchers in the vicinity do not want to get into trouble, it is best to report and expose them obediently, and any behavior of harboring and financing the mob will be regarded as accomplices and will be severely punished.

For these mountain thugs, the future is only death or endless hard labor......

Outside the town of Illawarra

More than 60 hanged criminals hung from the gallows, all of whom were the leaders of the mob who attacked the cavalry with guns, including Steward Pierce and his men, who organized the riot, and were tried and hanged.

As for the coal mine owner Babos, who is behind the scenes, he has already fled to Melbourne like a lost dog.

The captives captured in the battle were sentenced to hard labor ranging from 2~5 years to 2~5 years, and were temporarily detained in the same place, waiting for the recovery of the coal mine before they could start work smoothly.

As for whether or not you can come out alive in the end, then God willing!

Although the battle in the town of Illawarra ended, the impact was extremely long-lasting, and the railway cavalry fought a great battle, and the riot brought great deterrence to the white diehards, especially the fierce methods of the bloody suppression of the Red Fort, and some of the roosters and thieves quickly subsided.

As a direct effect, the southern extension of the coastal railway was carried out smoothly, and most of the harassment and attacks that had been ubiquitous disappeared, and after a few sporadic attacks, under the fierce pursuit of the road guards, a group of masterminds and white ranchers were dug up, and then severely hanged.

Killing chickens and monkeys makes an example of it, and the effect is very good.

Melbourne, in a luxury estate.

Babos clutched former Governor Morgan McLaughrie's collar in a frantic grip and shouted with red eyes; "It's all over, my subordinates are all finished, the family's hundreds of years of accumulation have gone down the drain, and this is all to blame for your instigation, you are a devil from hell, I curse your soul to suffer in the flames of hell......"

"Alright, Babos, calm down."

"After losing all the time, you're going to calm me down now?"

"Babos, let's be sensible, anyway, the coal mine was sold for a good price, it was a good business, but it was due to your greed, always thinking that the coal mine also needed money, which led to the current passive situation, God testifies, I just made a small suggestion out of kindness."

"So...... Blame me? ”

"It's a pity, that's the truth, when you thought you got the money and the coal mine, you should have the consciousness of losing it all like this."

Morgan-McClaurie pushed him away with a cold expression, brushed the crumpled collar with his hand, and commanded his subordinate impatiently; "What are you doing in a daze, get this madman out now, and if I see him again, I'll sell you all to Ilawarra to dig coal and spend the rest of your lives in a dark mine."

Several able-bodied servants hurriedly picked up Mr. Barbos, who was swearing madly, and pushed him out.

These servants are also unlucky, who knows that Mr. Bables, who has always been regarded as a close friend, is now a pile of stinky shit in the eyes of Morgan McLaughey, and it is annoying to look at.

Sending away this annoying uninvited guest, Morgan McLaury pinched his eyebrows with some headaches, looked at a gentleman with a very personable demeanor who came out of the next room, and said with a wry smile; "Mr. Speaker, this is a disaster."

"That's right, it seems that we underestimated the Earl of Queensland, who now has the courage to play a stud, and we have very limited cards in our hands, and the attitude of London, which we originally relied on, is ambiguous, and the situation is falling into an uncontrollable abyss." The Speaker of the Victorian Parliament, Sir Matthew Crawley, sighed and sat down.

"The Earl of Queensland has penetrated his power into our heartland, we must not sit idly by, the Morgan family has been rooted in Australia for a hundred years, and there is no foundation in England for a long time, I am not willing to flee like an exile, even if the Earl of Queensland wants to get New South Wales, it will only be a ruin."

Morgan McLowry gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table, slamming the coffee cup into a slamming pop, spilling coffee all over the place.

Sir Matthew Crowley frowned at him, and did not like this very ungentlemanly move, for a noble English gentleman ought to be unfazed and graceful in any situation;

"Sir Morgan, I can understand your anger, but it doesn't help, and now many people have seen that the Earl of Queensland is in a difficult position and is beginning to prepare for the back, which is a rather bad situation.

Garry Grant sent his wife Avilia and several children on a cruise to France, accompanied by dozens of housekeepers, governesses, doctors and servants, and his actions caused panic among the upper class, and more people wanted to flee from the place.

I have spoken to him, and Garrie Grant has expressed his willingness to give his life and everything he has for the preservation of the traditional life and faith, and he has given £100,000 himself, and will mobilize members of the Royal Gold Mine Owners' Association to donate large sums of money to arm more people.

Now the question is...... Will the Honourable Earl John Lawrence Bald be able to bring us the invaluable support we want?

Without timely support from London, all efforts would have been in vain. ”

After saying that, the Speaker of the Victorian Parliament, Sir Matthew Crawley, stared at Sir Morgan McLaughey with an inquiring look.

The Earl of John Lawrence Bald, a former Governor of New South Wales, had a close relationship with the Premier Sir Morgan-McLaurie during his tenure, and the two sides continued to work closely together because of a common ultra-conservative philosophy.

"I've been in constant communication with Lord Earl lately, and maybe we should make the decision to die, or we'll die in the beautiful dream of poppies." Sir Morgan-McClaurie said with a look of compassion on his face, in the tone of a martyr; "May the holy light of Heaven shine upon this earth and cleanse all impure sins, and what we need is a true holy war, a holy war against the invasion of the Easterners, in the name of God."
