Dover, one of the British defensive positions.

"Jack, what's wrong with you?"

A soldier with a beard came to a young man and saw that the other party kept pouring wine into his mouth. His face was already flushed from drinking, and he frowned and snatched the other party's flagon.

"Give it to me, Tom!"

The young man named Jack snatched the hip flask and took another big gulp.

"What the hell happened?"

Seeing the other person's appearance like this, Tom felt a little puzzled, sat down, and asked softly, intending to enlighten this little brother.

"My father, my younger brother, and my elder brother all died. Just a while ago, they all died, and even the bodies were not found..."

Jack was silent for a while, tears flowed down his eyes, and painfully explained the reason.

Tom also fell silent when he heard this.

Since the war between the East and the West, in order to fight against the powerful Ming Dynasty, the western countries have almost compulsively recruited troops.

All men who could stand up and walk, from the age of 60 to the age of 16, were all drawn into the army.

The three Jack brothers, including his father, were forcibly drafted into the army.

If it wasn't for Jack's leg disability, which prevented him from marching quickly with the main force, he might have been incorporated into the front line and dragged to the place where the battle was most intense to die.

"I don't know how to comfort you, but think of your family, think of your mother."

"As a man, I think you should not cry and drink here now, but stand up bravely and carry this family."

"Carrying this home... Do I still have a home?"

Jack gave a wry smile, picked up the flagon and took another big gulp.

"My mother received the news, and now she is sick in bed and may leave at any time. I went to ask for leave, but that bastard John didn't allow me to leave."

"He said that the enemy will attack at any time, and no one is allowed to leave his post now."

"Go tmd..."

The more Jack spoke, the angrier he became, he stood up and threw the jug in his hand into the sea.

He staggered and turned around, pointing in the direction of the camp behind him, "John, you son of a bitch, you pissed me off, so I'm going to seek refuge with Daming!"

"Don't talk nonsense..."

Tom quickly covered Jack's mouth.

"You're crazy, you're going to seek refuge with Daming, but you're going to be hanged, and your father, your older brother, and your younger brother all died at the hands of Daming, don't you hate them?"

He knocked off Tom's hand fiercely, Jack's eyes were red, and he roared loudly:

"I hate, haha, compared to Daming, I hate this damn country even more."

"Why do we have to fight? Daming has already spread the news. As long as we surrender and join Daming, we can live a happy life and live the same life as the people of Daming..."

"But those damn nobles, those in power, they don't want to lose their rights and interests, they don't want to be dogs to Daming."

"For their rights and status interests, they forced innocent people like us to go to the battlefield to die, to block Daming's bullets and shells."

"Damn bastard..."

"We obviously have no hatred with them, as long as we choose to compromise, we can live a good life."

"But those in power rejected these, and let ordinary untouchables like us go to die for them."

"Let us people give their lives to protect the land and interests that they can't protect at all."

"Go tmd..."

The more Jack spoke, the angrier he became, and finally he picked up a stone by his feet and threw it viciously towards the camp.

"what…"

With a desperate roar of pain, Jack turned to face the sea, and walked into the sea step by step.

"What are you doing, Jack..."

Tom hugged Jack tightly to prevent him from doing stupid things.

"Let me go, let me die, let me leave this damn dirty world..."

Jack struggled hard and went out to the sea desperately.

"Jack, you..."

"Fack, what is that!"

Just as Tom was about to continue persuading him, he caught sight of the sea in the distance by accident, and was stunned for a moment.

On the horizon in the distance, one after another of thick smoke shot straight into the sky, and each black spot was enlarging bit by bit.

"Marfak..."

"It's the Ming army, it's the battleship of the Ming army!"

Now the western countries already know that the Ming Dynasty has a warship that emits smoke and is completely made of steel.

Therefore, soldiers guarding the coastline will first judge whether it is an enemy warship or not by whether there is smoke before seeing a ship approaching, and before seeing the flag clearly.

Jack, who was struggling, heard Tom's cry, wiped his blurry eyes vigorously, and stared wide-eyed at the sea.

Just at this moment, the target on the horizon in the distance became bigger again, and the billowing thick smoke could be seen more clearly.

"Fake, what are you still doing? Hurry up and send a signal!"

Tom, who had already let go of Jack, saw that this guy was still in a daze, and slapped him on the face, pulling him towards the sentry tower they were on duty.

"Clang clang clang clang..."

Soon, the sound of copper bells was heard on the beach, and thick smoke billowed from the nearby beacon tower.

The signal was seen in the camp not far away. A number of disabled or elderly soldiers were wearing simple armor, holding simple weapons, and even some with dung forks. They looked nervous and anxious. Roaring towards the defensive position on the shore.

"Ships No. 1 to No. 8 are preparing for bombardment to cover the landing of the army."

"Ships No. 9 to No. 15 are cruising around to prevent sneak attacks by enemy sea forces!"

In the command room of the Dingyuan, Jiang Han held a binoculars, looked at the coast where the smoke rose in the distance, and calmly issued a combat order.

According to the combat plan formulated by the Southern Fangbuzhou Front Army, they will cooperate with the North to gather in Luzhou and the East to defeat the two Front Army in Shenzhou, and launch an attack from the west to the enemy's hinterland.

When determining the combat target, the Southern Front Army set the first attack target on the British mainland.

The reason for choosing this place is because this piece of land is isolated overseas and can be used as a future naval base.

And there is no need to worry about the enemy's counterattack.

The mighty strength of the Ming Navy is almost invincible on the seas of this world.

Since the start of the war, the navy's guerrilla fleet has been running wild almost all over the world. Whenever they encounter a sea ship that does not fly the dog's head flag or the flag of Ming Dynasty, they will go up and seize it directly, and those who dare to resist will be sunk directly.

Now the ships drifting on the oceans of the world, except for those that Da Ming has not caught for the time being, all other places have become the control area of ​​the Ming Navy.

Following Jiang Han's order, the 8 warships that received the order began to advance slowly, then lined up, and started shelling the distant coastline.

"Woooooooo..."

Naval naval guns, that may be super-large caliber heavy guns.

Nos. 1 to 8 are the latest battleships, and they are all large ships of more than [-] tons.

The attached artillery caliber is scary.

As each cannon was loaded, after Jiang Han gave an order, the warships began to attack one by one.

The huge cannonball, rubbing against the air while flying, made a whine like a train whistle.

The British troops defending in the distance trembled when they heard the sound like a demon roaring.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

The huge shell fell to the ground, and the deafening rumble could be heard from a distance.

Pillars of smoke rose into the sky, and all the objects hit by the shells were turned into dust in an instant.

And those soldiers who were hit by bad luck didn't even leave a body behind. They were directly blown into blood mist by the shells, and then evaporated by the high temperature and disappeared.

When the naval guns were bombarded frantically, the marines on the transport ship began to board the landing craft like dumplings.

When the first batch of teams boarded the ship, as three flares were launched into the air, the ant-like landing craft began to drive towards the beach.

"Everyone has made it clear to me. It has been explained above. After landing, you are not allowed to snatch the cheese from the common people, you are not allowed to whistle at the girls, and you are not allowed to say Mare Fake!"

"When we meet and greet each other, say hello, tell him to stop and say trouble, if yes, say grandpa is dead!"

On the front landing craft, an officer wearing the latest combat uniform was holding the pouch on the muzzle of his gun tightly to prevent the seawater from pouring in, while loudly explaining the orders of his superiors to the soldiers behind him.

"Head... what does Marefak mean?"

A soldier listened to the request in front of him, but he was in a daze when he heard that he was not allowed to say Marefak.

"Forehead!"

The officer froze for a moment, but he didn't know.

But as the boss, how could he lose face in front of his brother, so he reached out and patted the soldier's helmet.

"Why do you ask so many questions, and you are not allowed to tell me, this is a curse, you know?"

"Oh, I see!"

The soldier smiled naively, and then said Malefak to his partner behind him!

In an instant, the entire landing craft burst into laughter.

The officer glared at the trickster soldier, then poked his head out to look at the shore.

"100 steps away..."

"80 steps away..."

"50 steps away..."

"Load, load!"

When the specified distance was reached, the officer let out a low shout, and immediately pulled away the gunshot hanging on his chest.

And the soldiers behind, after hearing the order, quickly took out a row of bullets, stuffed them into the magazine, and loaded them with a click.

"Prepare!"

Glancing behind him, seeing all the soldiers holding their guns tightly and looking at him, the officer raised his hand and beat his chest.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

"Kachchachachachacha..."

There was a sound of chains, and the baffle in front of the landing craft quickly opened.

"Up and up..."

The officer was the first to jump out of the landing craft and waved the soldiers to get off the boat.

Although they encountered no resistance, they had to go as fast as possible when disembarking according to military regulations.

Because at this time, the danger level of soldiers is the highest.

Once the opponent focuses fire on the landing craft, the casualties will definitely be very heavy.

Fortunately, in the current world, only Daming possesses such ferocious firepower.

If the current era was during World War II, no matter how well-trained the Ming Marine Corps was, landing operations would still result in casualties.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Wading in the waist-high seawater, the soldiers held up their weapons, while vigilant against the shelled coastline, while running desperately to the beach.

"hurry up…"

The officer rushing to the front turned into an eighth woman, yelling "quick, quick, quick".

In fact, he didn't need to shout, the soldiers ran to the beach as fast as they could.

"Notify, extend the firepower!"

Jiang Han, who was watching the landing troops with a telescope in the command room, saw that the first batch of marines had already occupied the beach, so he ordered the artillery to extend back to prevent accidental injury to his own people.

Although the Marine Corps is still hundreds of meters away from the bombardment site, the naval guns are so powerful that they may be accidentally injured within 500 meters.

This battle has just begun, and he doesn't want to cause an own incident that hurts his own people.

Marine Corps officers are good veterans, and when they hear the sound of the guns flying change, they know that the guns have started to extend their fire.

The artillery extends its firepower, which means they can launch an attack.

"Come on, those who have not surrendered, and those who have any abnormalities will be killed on the spot!"

The officer of the first batch, after judging the extension of the artillery, waved his hand at the men who were resting and guarding, and gave the order to continue the attack.

The infantry followed the artillery's footsteps and quickly rushed to the already invisible British position bombarded by the artillery.

"Damn, this is too cruel, I can't even see the whole thing."

A soldier looked at the red spots in the huge craters in front of him, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"So much nonsense, hurry up, stand here and be a target!"

The officer passing by him kicked him angrily when he saw the guy standing so straight and complaining.

The soldier grinned, raised his gun and began to search the surroundings vigilantly.

"Tom Tom, are you okay?"

Under a huge boulder, Jack clutched his chest in pain, and pushed Tom who was beside him, who didn't know whether he was dead or passed out.

However, as he pushed, Tom, whose body curled up and fell to the ground, poured blood out of his mouth, and some pieces of meat were mixed in the blood.

"Fake!"

Regardless of his sadness, Jack struggled to get up from the ground as he listened to the sound of the guns fading away, and rushed out of the rocky area to flee to the rear.

"Don't move!"

However, as soon as he ran out of the rocky area, he bumped into several Ming soldiers who were searching.

The soldiers who were vigilant and searching saw a white pig jumping out, and aimed their guns at him.

If it wasn't for the opponent's lack of weapons, it is estimated that the opponent has been beaten into a sieve by now.

"I surrender, I surrender..."

Jack, who was pointed at by the gun, kept waving his hands and shouted to surrender.

But he spoke native English, how could the soldiers understand it, and they remembered the few words taught by their superiors vaguely.

"Hello, I surrender, I surrender..."

"Oh, there is Hello!"

A soldier with a good memory suddenly brightened his eyes and told the soldiers next to him about his hairstyle.

An old soldier gave him an angry look, "Be careful for me!"

After speaking, he strode forward, came to Jack who was still explaining loudly, raised his hand and slapped him down.

"Hello, you are big, shut up for me, get down and don't move!"

The other soldiers who saw this scene grinned, and after the veteran tied Jack with a noose, they stopped talking to him and continued to search.

The resistance of the British army on the mainland was extremely weak.

In just one day, the Southern Front Army captured the Kent area and approached the capital of the United Kingdom, under the city of London.
