"boom boom"

掩蔽在抢劫犯海滩附近的一道山脊背后的英军炮兵终于壮着胆子、厚着脸皮向滩头上“成了精”的大明铁甲舰和铁甲车发射6英寸（152毫米）、3.7英寸（94毫米）、2.75英寸（70毫米）的炮弹。

The reason why it is said to be "courageous" and "cheek-skinned" is that the caliber and quantity of these artillery pieces assigned to the Brisbane militia by the British Australian Army are too small.Among them, the largest caliber guns are only 6-inch guns, and there are only 12 guns in total, and there are a little more 3.7-inch and 2.75-inch guns, with 24 guns each.These cannons add up to a mere 60 pieces, and they are not used to support the robbery beach, but also to support the three thieves deployed on the murderer's beach, arsonist's beach and kidnapper's beach. With barracks.

In addition, each of the four bandit battalions is equipped with twelve 3.2-inch (81 mm) mortars, which can provide fast, efficient and accurate fire support for the frontline infantry.

说实话，一个旅级作战单位配置了60门身管火炮和48门迫击炮怎么都不能说是火力薄弱了。即便奉行大炮兵主义，而且还患有从诸葛武忠王那里传下来的火力不足恐惧症的明军混成旅的炮兵火力，其实也就这样了。如果不算那200多辆装备了120毫米迫击炮、30毫米速射炮、13毫米高射机枪或7.5毫米口径普通机枪的各种型号的6轮装甲车辆的话.
However, using these 108 cannons and mortars to bombard dozens of square miles of Ming warships that have not yet become "skilled" and dozens of "smart" ironclad ships that have climbed onto the beach, it really can only be done. It is described as courageous and thick-skinned.

But these brave and thick-skinned British artillery were quite accurate!The shells rained down on the robbers' beach, and then exploded on the soft sand, setting off waves of dust mixed with shrapnel and gunpowder smoke. From time to time, a shell directly hit the 2000-ton standard displacement, and the full-load displacement exceeded The 5000-ton "become fine" ironclad ship.These ironclad warships flushing the beach are actually vehicle landing ships of the Ming army. They only have very thin armor. The 150mm and 120mm first-class naval guns used by torpedo boats are also enough to hit them with holes all over their bodies.

But that has to use cannons to penetrate armor-piercing shells, and the Brisbane "thief army" brigade of the British army is not equipped with long-barreled cannons or armor-piercing shells-there is no "tracked water tank" these days, and the army is equipped with long-barreled cannons. Advanced cannons and armor-piercing projectiles with relatively small charges can only build a bunker at most. Most of the bunkers can also be destroyed with a 2.75-inch caliber mountain gun.

Therefore, the 108 cannons and mortars of the British army fired high-explosive shells. Except for the high-explosive shells fired by the few 6-inch guns that can cause certain damage directly, other small and medium-caliber high-explosive shells Bullets can't hit those "become fine" ironclad ships at all.

As for the armored vehicles "spit out" by the armored ships, because they are moving targets, the probability of being hit by unguided ammunition fired by curved artillery is very small.Instead, the infantry who followed the armored vehicles and rushed out of the "bloody mouth" of the ironclad ship were hit by fragments of high-explosive bombs that fell from time to time.However, their losses were not too great, because more than 100 Ssangyong 8 reconnaissance bombers with 25 2 kg bombs were already circling over the robbers' beach!

These small biplanes are also thieves and thieves. They don't bomb the British positions on the robbers' beach, but wait for the British artillery to fire.The mobility of artillery these days is very poor, so how can it be so mobile?Moreover, there is no anti-battery radar now. If you want to launch a counterattack, you have to go up to the sky to watch the artillery observers in balloons or airships. You probably have to use the method of sound measurement to calculate, and these two methods are not very reliable. The former transmits information. Difficult, and balloons and airships are also easy to be shot down.The accuracy of the latter is very problematic, and it is entirely up to chance whether to play or not.

Therefore, in the earlier Battle of Adrianople, the cannons of both sides were rarely destroyed by the opponent's cannons.Therefore, the British army didn't care much about the mobility of the artillery. Of course, they just wanted to improve the mobility of the artillery, and they didn't have this condition, so they could only work harder on the concealment of the artillery positions.

But no matter how well the British army's artillery is hidden, as long as it is fired, it cannot hide from more than a hundred pairs of eyeballs looking down in the sky!

60门英军的身管火炮还没打完半个基数，天上的100多架飞机就呼啸着下来丢炸弹了一架飞机丢8个炸弹，100多架飞机丢下小1000枚25公斤的炸弹，而且还是用40度角俯冲投弹的办法投下的！

When 1000 25-kilogram bombs were dropped, the artillery positions of the British army were immediately engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and it was not a "one-off fire", but repeated "fires" several times.After these "fires" were over, there were not a few complete cannons on the British artillery positions, and most of the cannons were blown into parts!Even those few "cannons" that were superior to others could not be fired, because the artillery had lost all casualties, and those who had no casualties also ran away.Moreover, the ammunition piled up around the artillery position was also blown up. After the Ming army's Feilong 2 carrier-based aircraft dropped the bomb and flew away from the battlefield for a while, the artillery position of the British army was still going over and over again. The cannonballs were blasted one after another, and it took another 5 minutes before they gradually subsided.
While the artillery positions of the British army were being fired over and over again, the wheeled armored vehicles of the Ming army had already passed through the soft sand, and began to lead the armored infantry with assault rifles to attack the British army's position next to the robber beach. .

The dozens of "become fine" ironclad ships fired violently with the 120mm short-barreled howitzers installed on the ship, tilting the 120mm high-explosive bombs to the positions held by the British "thief troops".

After a burst of artillery strikes, the armored vehicle rushed straight up.Although they are not tracked, they are wheeled.But the impact is by no means comparable to infantry!Those barbed wire fences that only rely on wooden stakes to be wound and fixed are very vulnerable to such wheeled armored vehicles.Moreover, some of the wheeled armored vehicles that charge are also equipped with anti-collision bars in front of the front of the vehicle. As long as they slam into the wooden stakes wrapped with barbed wire a few times, the latter can be knocked down.

There are also logs hanging from the rear of some armored vehicles. When encountering a British trench blocking the way, the following infantry will remove the logs and add sandbags to fill in several passages in a short time.

Facing this seemingly unstoppable armored vehicle, the bandit troops of Great Britain were so frightened that they almost went crazy, and desperately fired at these six-wheeled steel monsters with their rifles and machine guns.The machine guns and rifles smashed together, and the bullets jingled and splashed sparks on the chariot.But these steel monsters are still on the move!Not only are they advancing, but they are also using their 30mm rapid-fire guns, 120mm howitzers, 13mm anti-aircraft machine guns and 7.5mm ordinary machine guns to fire frantically to suppress the firepower of the "thieves' troops".The "thieves supporting the army" on the entire front are full of flesh and blood!A round of shells drilled into the firing point of the machine gun, and then exploded and splashed out mixed with human stumps and weapon parts.The fate of the "thief troops" guarding the trenches was not much better. They were repeatedly ravaged by various anti-infantry firepower on the tanks and the firepower of the armored infantry following the tanks. The corpses already filled the entire trench.

And the "thieves' troops" who had not turned into corpses couldn't bear such casualties, and the whole line began to collapse!In just one hour, the Brisbane No. [-] Rifle Battalion, which was standing on Robbers Beach, fell into complete collapse!

Faced with such a situation, the British commander on the front line in Brisbane had no idea at all, so he had to generate electricity to ask Admiral Gough in Sydney for instructions—the ironclad ship landed on the beach, and even opened its mouth to spit out the armored car. There are bombs in the sky. You didn’t discuss aircraft, and a large fleet of dozens of square miles on the sea. How will this battle be fought?Commander-in-Chief Goff, hurry up and think of a way!
