As night fell, the deafening sound of artillery finally stopped.The sea is full of blazing fires, which make it look like daytime, and it looks like a lively bonfire.Hundreds of British warships were bombed from the front to the back as if they were live targets by the Huaxing Army.In just two hours, all the battleships were shot and burst into flames, and none of them escaped.The planks of the ship floated scattered on the surface of the sea, with burning sparks on them, and quickly spread out to the surroundings under the rolling of the waves."
Foreign devils, let's die" Zheng Dahai and Wang Zhenyuan looked at the sea coldly, and there was only killing and revenge in their eyes at this time.After daybreak, the fleet of the Huaxing Army set sail and continued to sweep the remnants of the British army south.Prior to yesterday's battle, observers had already spotted that someone from the command ship of the British army had escaped in a lifeboat.It's just that after the battle began, it was too late to take care of them.Now that the battle is over, it's time to settle the old score.Zheng Dahai and Wang Zhenyuan had already concluded that the lifeboat they were on was rowed entirely by manpower, and they must not have escaped far in the tumbling sea.According to the plan, the two fleets are also preparing to search for fish that have slipped through the net along the coast of Australia, and then return to Singapore from the Indian Ocean north.In the end, the South China Sea Fleet continued to garrison Singapore, and the East China Sea Fleet returned to China from Singapore."
Captain, I don't think the Huaxing army can catch up, why don't we rest for a while" Jackson kept sliding the oars in his hand, and they had been sliding alternately all night.Everyone was thirsty and hungry, and they wanted to close their eyes immediately."
All right, rest for ten minutes," Joseph ordered with a tired hand, and all the commanders who escaped from heaven immediately lay down and closed their eyes.In total, ten lifeboats escaped, and in total, more than a hundred people were seated on them.Because he was in a hurry, he didn't bring anything with him on board.Joseph licked the dry lips of the eater and looked around, the vast sea was endless, and he didn't know which direction he was paddling in the last night so he was only concerned about escaping."
Jackson, is the direction of our Huaxing Army right" Joseph woke up Jackson in a panic, took out a compass from his arms and kept checking the direction."
Captain, it must be true.Look at the sun, we just need to row to the place where the sun is rising, and we will soon reach the mainland" Jackson pointed to the east weakly, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, and everyone had a feeling of escape.Joseph sighed and slipped the compass into his pocket.I just wanted to close my eyes and rest for a while, but I didn't know that a loud whistle soon sounded in my ears."
Get up, get up, Huaxingjun is catching up," Joseph hurriedly shouted, and stood up with all his strength in a hurry."
Who is coming, where is the Huaxing army" "God, why are they following again" "Hundreds of British soldiers woke up almost at the same time, and hurriedly looked around with wide eyes.One by one, they were as if they were scared stupid, and they looked sluggish and at a loss."
What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and row for your life," Joseph yelled anxiously, and he was about to cry because of these people."
Row, row" "One, two, one, two" The British army quickly moved up, and at this time it was important to save their lives, and they did not care about any hunger and tiredness, and rowed their oars with a snort.Zheng Dahai and Wang Zhen had already guessed that they were going to paddle to land, because they had no food and fresh water, and there was only one way to go.Hua Xingjun sailed in the same direction, but he didn't expect to really find them.As soon as the whistle of the command ship sounded, all the battleships immediately went into combat readiness.The difference in speed between the two sides is too great, and the Huaxing warship, which was still far away in the sky, traveled to more than 5,000 meters in a while."
God, we really shouldn't provoke these demons," Joseph joined the rowing team at this time, and in the face of the space of death, he broke down and cried in a hurry.All the British troops had a trace of despair at this time, like a swarm of ants about to be trampled by elephants, and there was no room for resistance."
Look, it's land, it's land" Under the sunshine, a golden sand beach soon appeared in front of everyone's eyes."
Land, we are safe, hurry up and row" At the last moment of life, almost everyone used their strength to eat, shouting and rowing desperately the oars in their hands.The British army was bombing the batteries off the coast, not far from the coastline.I paddled all night last night, and this morning I was less than 10,000 meters away from the coastline.The two sides chased after me, because the British army's lifeboat was too small, and the Huaxing army had not fired the cannon for a long time."
There's a thousand meters to go, brothers, and we'll be safe when we get ashore," Joseph gritted his teeth, his face exposed, almost popping out between his teeth.The Huaxing army also got closer and closer, and when the two sides were a thousand meters apart, the Huaxing army turned the bow of the ship and exposed all the side-rotating rapid-fire guns.At this distance, the British army would have fled a few kilometers further, and it would have been within a sufficiently effective range.The explosion tore through the sky with a "boom", and Joseph's heart was about to jump out, and immediately dozens of shells smashed down on all sides of the lifeboat, splashing the fountain-high waves.The two lifeboats rowing at the back were the first to be shot, and the huge flames rose into the sky, directly blowing the lifeboats into pieces, and there was not even a scum left."
Don't be afraid, God bless us in heaven" The surviving British soldiers were almost frightened to pee their pants, and some of them shook their hands and threw their oars into the sea.Joseph roared and cheered everyone on, and in the dense rain of bullets, every British soldier was like a chicken, almost catching up with the speed of the Olympic sprint.The closer the coastline turned out, the more the shells of the Huaxing Army pressed one after another, and the more fierce and dense they became.The sound of the explosion alarmed the entire coastline, and many soldiers and horses soon gathered on the beach, all looking at the battle in the sea.This is the territory of New South Wales, according to Joseph and Bruce's plan.At the same time as the navy attacked New China, the army had already advanced into the territory of New South Wales, which was only across the river from New China."
Oh, it looks like a big fish has been caught" Zheng Dahai looked around at the beach, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a sneer.At the same time, the command ship of "Dudu" Wang Zhenyuan sounded its whistle, signaling the East China Sea Fleet to raise the coordinates and extend its artillery fire to the coastline.At this time, the two of them thought of a place, and the goal was to see one and kill the other."
Look, reinforcements are coming to meet us, hurry up, we'll be safe soon" Joseph saw the situation on the beach clearly at this time, all of them were British soldiers in the same uniform as him, and his heart was in his stomach for a while.Fang Cai was afraid that he would finally row to the shore, but it turned out to be the territory of the Chinese, so it was better to be killed directly by artillery
