Chapter 468: Landing in Ambon (1)

Harrigg was startled, and hurriedly asked Haimer what was going on?

Haimer pointed out: "Today the Chinese warships are training troops!"

The experienced he saw the clues. The Chinese battleships took turns using the turrets to sharpen their artillery skills and maneuvering.

Heimer said: "It is very likely that the Chinese will land tomorrow and no longer attack the fort!" He suggested that the Chinese landing troops should be countercharged as much as possible, and they should not be assembled in groups.

"Otherwise, we will be in big trouble!" Haimer said. He saw how powerful the Chinese warships were, and at the same time believed that the Chinese infantry was also very powerful.

His view is extremely correct.

…

The weather on the next day was not good. Above the port, the gloomy sky was covered with low clouds, like black clouds pressing the top, and the omen was not good.

The Southeast Fleet did not attack the fort on the right side of the port anymore. They turned to the shoreline on the left side of the port, and methodically began to flatten the coconut grove behind the beach-----The Southeast Army saw the indigenous army hiding in the jungle.

Although a large number of artillery shells were poured out, this kind of bombing was purely a large number of artillery shells. It was not a blasting shell. The possibility of iron bumps hitting people was not high. Instead, the warship was enveloped by smoke, and the sea breeze blew the smoke to it. On the coast.

…

During the naval shelling, Sergeant Red, located on the Walrus III transport ship, silently looked at the unfamiliar beach, thinking that he would die here?

Leide is very young, eighteen years old, taller than 8 meters tall, and strong in stature. He is not from the southeast coast, but from Liao, whose ancestral home is Shenyang. In fact, the advantage of the Southeast Army's participation in the old wild boar skins outside the customs is that more and more Liao people and northerners have defected to the Southeast through the offices of the Southeast Army. In a few years, no less than 100,000 people!

Reid was one of the northerners who went to the Southeast Mansion. He went to the Southeast Mansion with his family. According to the Southeast Mansion’s decree, he was drafted into the army when he was sixteen. Not too stupid, and soon became a sergeant.

This is the benefit of an emerging regime. It is flourishing, the warships are constantly being built, the team is constantly expanding, and the promotion and wealth are all very happy.

I didn’t sleep very well last night, it was sultry like a steamer in the warship, and the weather here was too hot!

Reid fell asleep intermittently. The sky was already white and shiny at four o'clock on the offensive day. Therefore, Reid woke up at four o'clock and couldn't fall asleep, because he woke up early and felt physically uncomfortable.

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

The supply of the Southeast Fleet is powerful enough and more connotative than before. Fresh water was supplied by finding uninhabited islands with water sources. Coal ships were accompanied to provide fuel for each ship, and four boats full of pigs came along. This is how the chicken and pork come, and it is said that they also brought cows!

Those boat bosses are extremely high-level. They take these poultry and livestock to sail, and the mortality rate is very low. It can only be said that the Chinese can do anything and have incredible power!

During the war, the Southeast Army’s food was very good, and the chef shouted: "Eat full, eat full!" It filled everyone's belly, as if to let everyone eat their last meal!

There was a lot of noise on the transport ship. After eating, Reid and his commander, Lieutenant Qian Shiping, grabbed a backpack, brought a rifle, an armored helmet, a pistol belt, and a machete to the deck.

The Marine Corps is different from the Army, which can be equipped with exaggerated eight guns. In addition to the rifle, they can at most equip themselves with one more pistol. If they are equipped with too much, if they fall into the water, they will sink and cannot rise.

However, Reid took his 80-centimeter long ghost knife and stuck it in his rucksack.

Second Lieutenant Qian Shiping's newly appointed officer, he and Reid are in charge of a platoon.

The brothers in the platoon gathered next to the officer. Seeing the gloomy sky, everyone's emotions became gloomy involuntarily, and they were a little worried about today's offensive.

The artillery of battleships and cruise ships bombarded the coast, although knowing that the bombing hit rate was low, Reid thought: "The more guns you hit, the better!"

On the one hand, it may kill the enemy, and on the other hand, the sound of artillery cheered everyone up. Under the continuous bombardment of heavy artillery, morale will be improved. Reid's experience summed up and tried repeatedly.

There are water tanks for boiling water on the deck. Reid filled his two tin kettles with water, and urged his comrades to fill his kettles with water. He knew very well not to drink raw water in the wild. , Otherwise the diarrhea will be something everyone suffers. The Chinese soldiers issued in this order have always been resolutely implemented. The Koreans, Japanese and Annans in the Imperial Army also implemented them, and the indigenous soldiers were often too lazy not to implement them, but they were everywhere. Drinking raw water indiscriminately didn't have diarrhea. Later, it was discovered that Indian Asan, who joined the Imperial Army of the Southeastern Prefecture, also had this incredible ability and was more powerful. They could drink dirty water without having diarrhea!

That's that, the red-headed Asan who can drink the hodgepodge-style heavy-tasting Ganges water without changing the color, we Chinese have no choice but to bow down to the wind.

The worst thing is the Yang Gun team. White people don't like to drink boiled water, but they will have diarrhea when drinking raw water. A whole team of white people have diarrhea and make a panic. These idiots!

…

As a non-commissioned officer, Reid checked the equipment of the soldiers in his platoon, especially their ammunition bags, to prevent moisture and use a sealed bag made of tin foil to ensure that no water would enter.

Standing on a high place, the Mazu priest who used the earth trumpets overwhelmed the rest of the voice. Leide heard the voice of the priest Qiu Dake in the camp: "We have the blessing of Mazu Empress, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, we must Victory! Most of you will return, but some will go from being a warrior under the Archon to being a warrior under the Mazu Niangniang!" His voice triggered ungodly discussions, but everyone followed The priests prayed together: "The merciful and compassionate Mazu, we pray to you with a heart of incomparable respect. Please bless our martial arts for a long time and everyone is safe. We are willing to bring your glory to all oceans and continents. !"

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

Lieutenant Qian Shiping began to climb down the net rope ladder beside the ship's gunwale, while Reid stayed on the deck to catch the soldiers to follow up with the ensign. They boarded three small boats with a capacity of 20 people in one platoon. Everyone sat down, picked up the oars and started rowing.

The marines have received professional training and coordinated their movements. The boat rushed to the coast like a motor!

However, the wind and waves were getting stronger and the sea splashed on everyone's faces. The Marines had let go of their hearts, breathing the salty sea breeze happily, and welcomed the sea. They were shaking in the sea, chewing milk candy in their mouths. , Beef jerky and sweet potato jerky, which are very useful for relaxing the mood.

I rushed to the beach, the beach was in sight, and I saw groups of indigenous warriors emerging from the jungle by the sea!
