Chapter 949: Morz

Solomon Islands.

Just as the war in Helande Ling was about to break out.

A fleet was advancing toward Port Moresby on Papua Island, which was controlled by Britain.

This fleet was none other than the Great Song Navy fleet commanded by Gong Ying.

After receiving the order, he immediately led the warships to attack in the Southwest direction.

First, he captured Moro Island, which had already been abandoned by Sam Country.

Afterward, he marched without stopping toward Morz.

According to intelligence provided by the scout ships, Port Moresby was only a little over half a day's voyage from Queensland Territory.

It was very suitable as a springboard for attacking Queensland.

Moreover, Morz had a supply point established by Britain.

Without a doubt, capturing this place was equivalent to laying the foundation for an attack on Queensland Territory.

"This is the third supply point; once we take this, we can take Queensland." On the flagship Shanggu, Gong Ying said to the Marine Corps commander beside him.

This commander's name was Ma Qian, a Captain under Pan Zhang, and he was deeply appreciated by Pan Zhang.

"His Highness and General Zhou must have already launched an attack on Holland, so we must hurry as well." Ma Qian replied in the affirmative, his eagle-like gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

At this moment, Port Moresby.

A British soldier wearing a red uniform was monitoring the sea from a watchtower.

When his gaze turned toward the Southwest, his entire body trembled slightly.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

After a moment of shock, he immediately rang the alarm bell on the watchtower.

The three hundred British soldiers stationed at Port Moresby were immediately alarmed, and they gathered at the port one after another.

"The Song People are here! Quickly go to the warehouse, bring out the Gunpowder Barrels, and bury them in the port; we are going to blow them away!" the leading British officer ordered.

They were naturally aware of the war between the Westerners and the Great Song during this period, and they had been waiting for the war to arrive.

Although the forces at Morz were sparse, they still possessed high fighting enthusiasm.

Because their idol, General Wesley, had sent a letter to the British garrison in Dongtu.

In this letter, Wesley encouraged them and told them that the Great Song was threatening Britain's interests.

The Yan Wang of the Great Song was a devil, and they must represent God to kill this devil.

At the same time, their assets in Dongtu were also being threatened.

After all, to keep them stationed far from Britain, the military had rewarded them with quite a bit of colonial land, as well as indigenous people turned into slaves.

When they fought, they were soldiers; when they rested, the soldiers were farm owners.

Even for the sake of their interests, they had to fight to the death to destroy this Yan Wang and destroy the Great Song.

In this world, apart from the Westerners, all indigenous people on other continents were only fit to be their slaves.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Just as the officer was gnashing his teeth, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.

"Ah..." Immediately, he heard the screams of the soldiers beside him.

"What is going on!" The officer's heart shrank instantly.

He looked with difficulty toward where the gunfire had originated.

At this time, a group of soldiers wearing green uniforms was emerging from the woods on the west side of the port.

They were firing while advancing.

They fired a shot, but unlike them, they did not stand the gun up to load the Bullet; instead, they simply pulled the bolt of the musket in their hands, loaded the Bullet, and continued to fire.

This group of soldiers numbered five hundred, and in a short time, more than half of his three hundred soldiers had become casualties.

"Take them down!" After the initial shock, the officer reacted immediately, organizing the remaining soldiers to counterattack and having the soldiers form a Line Formation.

The production capacity of the Indian Arsenal was limited and mainly satisfied the needs of the Coalition.

Even Australia could only be ranked behind, let alone them, who were stationed at Morz.

Therefore, although he had heard that the Great Song army's muskets were very accurate, he could still only fight in a Line Formation.

Because if they spread out, their attack would be even more powerless.

But soon, he understood that no matter what he did, it was of no use.

The remaining hundred or so soldiers were simply unable to resist the Great Song army.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, these British soldiers had all fallen into a pool of blood, including the officer himself.

"Check the bodies and take control of the port immediately." After annihilating the enemy soldiers at Port Moresby, the commander leading the troops issued the order.

Before the fleet appeared at Port Moresby, a Troop Transport Ship had already dropped them off at a location twenty li away from the port.

The fleet in front was only responsible for attracting the attention of the Morz garrison, while they were responsible for the real battle.

Now, they had effectively captured this place without suffering a single scratch.

He waited for a while.

The fleet slowly docked at Port Moresby, and Gong Ying and Ma Qian stepped off.

By this time, the assault team had already fully controlled the port and the port's warehouses.

Looking toward the south, Gong Ying and Ma Qian looked at each other and smiled.

Next, they would launch an attack on Queensland Territory.

At the same time.

Hedland Territory.

The Marine Corps officially landed on the golden beach.

After the eight thousand marines serving as the vanguard landed, they immediately set up barracks and simultaneously placed caltrops around the barracks.

They did not intend to attack immediately.

Instead, they waited for the troop transport ships to ferry all twenty thousand marines onto the Australia continent before taking the next step.

The fleet's warships dropped anchor in the waters near the beach.

They used naval cannons to provide fire support for the encamped marines, preventing them from suffering surprise attacks.

It took another three-plus days for all twenty thousand marines to arrive.

During this period, the marines responsible for reconnaissance roughly figured out the situation in Hedland Territory.

The British were relying on trenches outside the town, preparing to fight them.

"The current plan is to meet trenches with trenches." The intelligence was summarized and delivered to Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu finally decided on the strategy.

An obvious problem was that charging trenches on the plains would inevitably result in significant casualties.

Furthermore, due to the rise of nationalist ideology in Xitu Guo during this period, and because most were educated, their fighting will was higher than that of ordinary soldiers from Gaoli and Dongying.

This would provide a partial bonus to their combat effectiveness.

Thus, the casualties from a head-on charge would be even higher.

While digging trenches to approach would be time-consuming.

It would shorten the front line between the two sides and achieve the greatest results at the minimum cost.

As long as he tore open a gap in Helande Ling, he would win.

Because although the opponent's fighting will would be slightly higher.

Even so, it did not mean that every one of them would resist to the end.

If it were said that feudal armies would have their will shaken when casualties reached twenty percent.

Then modern armies could withstand a casualty percentage of thirty or forty percent, and in special circumstances, even higher.

But now, they were not defending their own homeland, so no such special circumstances existed.

Most importantly, he believed that part of the opponent's fighting will came from their arrogance toward Da Song.

As long as the combat effectiveness of Da Song soldiers was displayed, their will could be quickly crushed.
