New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Master Zhu, Commander Cheng asked you to lead a team to bombard the port to create a safe zone for the landing troops!"

Zhu Zhiwen had just secured his boat with the rope he had thrown down when he heard the latest order coming from the intercom.

If he hadn't known that Cheng Yuanliang was not the kind of person who played tricks behind his back, he would have doubted whether the other party was playing tricks on him.

This is an imperial edict issued by His Majesty himself. If you don't go, you will be disobeying the edict and will be beheaded.

Fortunately, the messenger from the staff department explained the situation in time: "Your Majesty said that the face-to-face meeting will not be carried out until after the victory..."

Feeling relieved now, Zhu Zhiwen untied the rope that tied the boat and was sent back to his ship.

When Cheng Yuanliang wanted to let Zhu Zhiwen stand out, he readjusted the configuration of his squadron.

A second-class ironclad battleship was separated from the Pacific Fleet as Zhu Zhiwen's ship.

He was also allocated two level three iron-clad battleships, one level four iron-armored battleship, twenty gunboats, and several supply ships.

It is not difficult to see that Cheng Yuanliang already wants to reuse him.

After all, after the immigration routes are reorganized in the future, in addition to the fleet stationed in the Far East, a fleet stationed in Honolulu (Hawaii) will also be needed in the Pacific.

This time, Zhu Zhiwen could be said to have switched from a shotgun to a cannon. Now, let alone letting him cover the landing troops, he had no objection to letting him lead the charge.

After the grinning Zhu Zhiwen took over the command, he immediately ordered to start firing on the buildings near the pier.

Except for the warehouses containing supplies that cannot be bombed, other buildings including banks are among the bombing targets.

Especially that eye-catching mosque!

"Have you seen that Islamic church? Take aim and set off a big firework for them!"

The high-spirited Zhu Zhiwen walked away from the rangefinder. The round of volleys just scattered the gathering Sarawak native troops, causing them to retreat back to the vicinity of his camp.

But what they didn't know was that not only the camp they built on the seaside was within the range of artillery, but even their church was also within the range of artillery.

So the subsequent bombardment was divided into two batches. Most of the firepower was still poured on the indigenous soldiers in Sarawak, while the artillery of Zhu Zhiwen's ship began to fire at the mosque.

After James Brooke occupied Sarawak and established the Brooke Dynasty, he began to convert to Islam (Islam).

Therefore, the most luxurious building in Bintulu, besides his own palace, is the church built on the slope by the sea.

For these guys who don't eat pork, Li Mingqi's senses are very bad.

These white-eyed wolves have committed many massacres of Han people since the Tang Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty, these guys intensified their persecution of the Chinese people even more.

(I can’t write down the specifics. One chapter has been blocked and cannot be unlocked. It was reviewed as soon as it was posted, and then banned... We are treated like biological fathers.)

After the shells fell, the people in the church wearing little white hats and tall noses and deep eyes were like rats in the flue, crying and running for their lives.

Unfortunately, their struggles were of no use, because each rapid-fire round consisted of five rounds.

The moment they ran out of the church, nearly forty shells covered the area.

After more than ten minutes of shelling, Ding Yi's National Defense Forces finally began to land.

Although the nearby terrain is very flat, the National Defense Force soldiers encountered no obstacles at all when they landed.

Because there are not many Sarawak native soldiers left at the dock.

The two large bunkers on the outskirts of the city, whose purpose was more for viewing than for military use, were only half-remained by the bombing.

Therefore, after the National Defense Forces soldiers landed this time, they did not even build the necessary positions and directly moved forward to expand the occupied area.

Long before the Pacific Fleet surrounded this place, most of the people with assets in the city had evacuated.

Perhaps they knew that this city with a wall only three meters high would be difficult to defend.

Charles took away most of the officials of the Brooke Dynasty, leaving only an undefended capital for the New Ming Empire to vent its anger on.

It's a pity that Li Mingqi has no mercy for the other party's behavior.

Since they abandoned this place themselves, Li Mingqi wouldn't be polite.

After receiving the report, Li Mingqi personally assigned Ding Yi a combat mission, which was to burn the city.

Following the charge of the National Defense Force soldiers, the defenders in Bintulu City collapsed directly under the attack of small mortars.

The three-meter-high city wall was blasted directly by several explosive charges, creating a gap wide enough for three carriages to pass through side by side.

However, some indigenous people saw that their churches were bombed, so they gathered in groups with cold weapons to attack the defense line of the National Defense Forces, which was surrounded by machine guns and shelling.

As you can imagine, after one charge, the ground in front of the cave entrance was covered with corpses.

On the city roads littered with corpses, Ding Yi personally led the soldiers forward.

Looking at the robe on a native, Ding Yi directly raised his bayonet and stabbed the still-breathing guy.

"Son of a bitch!" After venting for a while, Ding Yi carefully pulled off the robe from the corpse.

Looking carefully at the piece of red cloth sewn on the side of the robe, he almost continued to stab it with a bayonet.

Because the red cloth that is obviously patched at the back is embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water. This is the hijab used by the bride at the wedding!

Now that it appeared on this indigenous soldier, Ding Yi didn't think it was a coincidence.

No one would give such a new hijab to others to mend clothes, especially if this guy is a local indigenous soldier.

"Don't spare anyone with a weapon!"

Since he felt unhappy, Ding Yi decided to make these natives unhappy too.

Therefore, gunshots were heard one after another in the city, and the sound of grenades exploding became louder and louder.

Ding Yi rubbed his ears in disbelief, suspecting that he heard wrongly.

My own soldiers were driven out of the city by the enemy!

Explain the situation?

Ding Yi, who led his troops to set up defense at the hole, listened to the gunshots and explosions not far away, and decisively ordered the soldiers guarding here to cheer up.

The city walls on the left and right sides of the cave entrance have become the favorite location of the rotating machine gun crew.

So when the Wehrmacht soldiers retreating in embarrassment appeared on the street, the main shooters all began to idling the rotating machine guns in their hands.

In fact, Li Mingqi has studied that, apart from being more expensive, the rotary machine gun is hundreds of times more powerful than the water-cooled Maxim used by the Royal Academy.

If the stationary battery had not been invented too late in history, perhaps the rotary machine gun would have successfully developed into the battery version.

It is estimated that the machine gun that brought down more than 60,000 British soldiers in one day during the Battle of the Sam River might have been a Gatling.

After all, replacing the battery is more than ten times better than the unreliable first-generation water-cooled Maxim.

"Cover fire!" The main shooters of each rotating machine gun heard the roar of their company commanders.

Although he couldn't bear it, the main shooter still fired bullets at those people behind his comrades who were retreating in embarrassment.

However, there were several members of the rotating machine gun who refused to shoot at each other.

The reactions and actions of these people were recorded one by one in the military judge's notebook.

After the battle, some unlucky people will definitely be sent to a temporary military court.
