The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 748 Battle against Black Fox Island ([-])
One after another, the landing boats were lowered from the Qin army warships in an orderly manner, and the brave and capable marines quickly fell into the landing boats along the ropes.

Under the cover of the gunfire of the battleship, dozens of small boats sailed towards Heihu Island quickly. The soldiers tightly held the special rifles in their hands, bent down, and looked at the island with firm and fiery eyes.

"Brothers, the cannon has been fired for a long time, and we just sat and listened to it. Now it's time for us to make contributions. When we land on the island, we will quickly clean up the British on the island. Are you confident?"

A battalion commander encouraged the soldiers vigorously.

"Confidence!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and their morale was like a rainbow.

"Okay! Get rid of the British guy and liberate Heihu Island!" The battalion commander laughed.

The British soldiers on Heihu Island were confidently expecting their warships to annihilate the invading enemy in one fell swoop, but they did not expect that in less than a few rounds, two of the three warships sank and one was captured. They were a little confused up.

Without the protection of the navy, the Black Fox Island is like a girl who has taken off her clothes and has nothing to hide, only left to be ravaged.

Moreover, the Qin army's artillery fire was very sharp, as long as they found a place on the island where gunshots sounded, they would immediately bombard them with artillery fire.

Their cannonballs were thrown down as if they didn't want money, and the British who bombed them were crying for their fathers and mothers.

At this time, the landing marines also rushed to the beach under the cover of naval artillery fire, and the soldiers quickly jumped into the half-deep water and rushed towards the beach.

The machine guns on the small boat behind were firing, and grenade grenades, which were more convenient to carry infantry support weapons, were constantly firing towards the island to cover the soldiers who landed.

The weak resistance of the British was quickly defeated. When the first batch of Qin soldiers rushed to the beach, there was no living person except corpses and scattered weapons all over the ground.

The vanguard quickly established a landing position, covering more soldiers rushing to the beach.

In less than half an hour, all marines from the two battalions landed on Heihu Island.During the entire landing process, except for a few injured, no one was killed in battle, so it can be said that it went very smoothly.

After the landing is successful, all the rest will be handed over to the Marine Corps, and the naval warships will just watch the fun on the sidelines.

Like a tiger descending the mountain, the marines divided into three groups and quickly advanced towards the center of Heihu Island.

During this period, many aborigines who took the opportunity to escape came to serve as guides for the Qin army, leading them to search and suppress the British deserters who were hiding.

With these aborigines who are familiar with the situation on the island as guides, the search and suppression is almost unfavorable.Soon, one by one British soldiers were dug out of various caves and woods like mice.

Although some people resisted in the corner during the period, they were quickly killed.

Moreover, more than a dozen British soldiers were beaten to death with stone sticks by the liberated aborigines.

The Marine Corps soldiers who were planning to stop them stopped when they heard that these British soldiers were the ones who bullied the aborigines the most, and let the aborigines vent their anger.

When the sun was high, the search and suppression work on the island was basically over, and the entire Heihu Island fell into the hands of the Qin army.

Prior to this, the two squadrons responsible for intercepting the British reinforcements also received good news one after another. The two reinforcements of the British were defeated. Among them, two British ships were sunk and two were captured. The total number of captured British soldiers was More than 200 people.

After Zheng Sen landed on Heihu Island, the results of the battle on the island were also counted: 49 British soldiers were killed and 250 were captured.Thousands of guns of various types and countless ammunition were seized.and countless other supplies.

After listening to the landing commander's report, Zheng Sen nodded. He was not in a hurry to check the seized materials, but ordered: "Interrogate the prisoners and learn about the deployment of the British troops on the other two islands. This is the first. Appease the island The common people, distribute some living supplies to them. Restrict military discipline, but those who harass and plunder the common people will be shot. This is the second. Bury the pot to cook and prepare lunch. After lunch, take a short rest and take the other two islands in one go."

All the officers took orders in a low voice, turned around and arranged to go.

Under Zheng Sen's reassurance, the hearts of the aboriginal people who were still worried gradually settled down, and finally even recommended their patriarch to meet Zheng Sen to express their gratitude.

When Zheng Sen and the others came this time, they brought some aboriginal guides who often traded with Qin State as translators.Although these small islands are remote and backward, they occasionally communicate with each other, so they generally communicate with each other in language.

After the translator talked and gestured, Zheng Sen finally understood the meaning of the old patriarch.

"Old patriarch, don't worry. These hateful aliens will never come to bully you again. From now on, you will all be protected by our Great Qin Empire and enjoy peace forever."

Zheng Sen expressed goodwill.

The translator even said that the translation with gestures was given to the old chief, and this time he even used his feet. Zheng Sen was dumbfounded.

The old patriarch was not immediately overjoyed, but hesitant, and murmured something to the translator.

Zheng Sen guessed that what he meant was that he was worried that the Qin army would be as virtuous as the British, and that's why it was so.

After several rounds of communication, the face of the old patriarch finally stretched out, and he performed a strange courtesy to Zheng Sen, and presented a beautiful feather to Zheng Sen to express their gratitude.

Daqin's policy on these overseas aborigines has been set long ago. They will not be treated as slaves, but will be gradually assimilated by means of gradual advancement, and eventually become the people of Daqin.

For Jiang Chuan, the occupied land is the land of Daqin, and it will not be managed in a predatory manner like a colony like the British.In the future, these islands will also be set up with officials and yamen for management.

But that's all in the future, and things still have to be done slowly, otherwise it will easily arouse the resistance of these aborigines who have been oppressed by the British.

After dealing with these aborigines for the time being, Zheng Sen turned his attention to the other two islands near Heihu Island.

The British naval power stationed on these three islands has been completely wiped out, so there is nothing to fear.

Judging from the information learned from the captives, the garrisons on the two islands had only one company, and there was nothing to fear.

Therefore, after lunch, after a short rest, Zheng Sen gave the order to march towards the other two islands.

Two armored battleships and several sailing warships, carrying hundreds of marines, rushed towards the target in two ways.

Seeing the fleet getting smaller and smaller in the distance, Zheng Sen stood on the top of the hill on the island and said with passion: "Your Majesty is truly a genius. Without Your Majesty, how could I, Zheng Senhe De, be able to command such a mighty force?" teacher."
