When the defense forces of Port Hedland left their bunkers and launched an attack on the Parth Expeditionary Force on the dock, the chaos on the dock had reached its peak.
The soldiers of the Parth Expeditionary Force did not have any organizational discipline. They had fallen into a carnival. They did not care that they were on the battlefield, and they had no intention of preparing for the defensive troops to rush out. The wealth of Port Hedland had made them forget everything.
At this time, even if Derek Champlin personally came ashore to stop it, he could not stop the wild hearts of the soldiers.
Compared to the soldiers of the Perth City Expeditionary Force, Port Hedland is indeed wealthy. Although Perth and Port Hedland are both resource-based cities, in terms of distribution system, Port Hedland is much more advantageous than Perth.
.
Objectively speaking, the city of Perth is far richer than Port Hedland, but the wealth in Perth is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and most citizens of Perth have not enjoyed the dividends brought by the rich resources.
Port Hedland is different. Although this city has just emerged, due to its special relationship with Lanfang, there are many families in Port Hedland who can be regarded as luxury goods in the eyes of the soldiers of the Paz Expedition.
Things, including porcelain, daily utensils, clothes, furniture, and even bowls and plates for eating, were all rare wealth in the eyes of the Paz Expeditionary Force.
So when the defense forces from Port Hedland rushed out, the scene they saw was truly unbearable.
There were at least a thousand soldiers from the Parth Expeditionary Force on the pier. These soldiers were more or less holding a few things they had snatched from the houses in Port Hedland. Some looked drunk because they drank too much, and some had their curtains drawn.
It is wrapped around the body like clothes, and some people even carry rifles behind their backs because they need to free their hands to pick up things, without any sense of defense at all.
This can't even be called a battle, because when the soldiers of the Parth Expeditionary Force saw the defense forces of Port Hedland, they all looked dumbfounded and surprised, and did not resist at all until they were knocked to the ground by the butts of their rifles.
These people howled like pigs being killed.
It's too late. Even if one or two officers want to organize a defense, they can't organize it now. The soldiers who landed are not organized at all. The soldiers can't find the officers, and the officers can't find the soldiers. They are all busy grabbing.
There is no concept of discipline at all.
So the battle went on easily and happily. Without much effort, the troops led by Wu Chengzhi and Ruan Xingfei captured more than 1,900 prisoners. This was also thanks to the low efficiency of the Parsi people. If their efficiency could be higher, then Wu Chengzhi
and Ruan Xingfei will capture more prisoners.
Seeing his people being arrested one by one like little chickens, Derek Champion on the Pass was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Now is not the time when the Army troops have not yet landed. If the Army troops have not yet landed, Derek Champlin can still command the troops to conduct fire cover and use artillery to disperse the defensive troops. But now the soldiers who have landed have already mixed with the defensive troops.
Together, it is equivalent to the defense force using those captured soldiers as shields, and Derek Champlin dare not order the fire. In that case, even if Derek Champlin wins the war, Derek Champlin will not
Sri Lanka has no place to stand.
So in less than half an hour, Wu Chengzhi and Ruan Xingfei happily went to the prisoner of war camp with the prisoners. Calm returned to the dock again. All kinds of furniture and clothes that had been regarded as treasures by the soldiers of the Paz Expeditionary Force were there.
They were thrown everywhere, but no one was trying to collect them now. God knows when those defense troops hiding in the dark would rush out.
No one wants to use themselves as bait.
But since it was here, the battle had to be fought. After another busy period, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Derek Champlin once again organized the troops to land, preparing to launch a second attack.
This time, he did not dare to be careless. Derek Champlin fully learned his lesson and selected a hundred-man troop to serve as the vanguard. They landed in advance in lifeboats, used the terrain to build defensive positions, and then covered the landing of subsequent troops.
This is a normal landing operation
Unfortunately, halfway through the landing operation, the accident happened again.
Seeing the vanguard troops establishing defensive positions on the pier and the follow-up troops landing one after another, Derek Champlin finally felt that everything was under control again, so he was particularly confident when he said: It was just because we were unprepared.
Letting those people take advantage of the loopholes is different now. When we get serious, these rats who like to burrow in the ground can only stay away. If they dare to fight us head-on, we will definitely destroy them completely.
Derek Champlin had been observing the situation on the dock just now. When Wu Chengzhi and Ruan Xingfei led the troops to rush out, Wu Chengzhi and Ruan Xingfei noticed that the number of defenders was only more than a thousand. If the troops were equal in strength,
In this case, Derek Champion was confident of defeating the defenders.
In Derek Champion's concept, no matter how capable the troops in Port Hedland were, they were only at the level of the German army. In the World War, the ANZAC was not completely at a disadvantage when facing the German army.
, which gave Derek Champion plenty of confidence.
I hope so, you'd better be careful, we can't afford another loss. Tom Spike is not as optimistic as Derek Champion, and his originally gloomy expression is now even more gloomy.
So far, although the war has not officially started, the Paz Expeditionary Force has lost one-third of its strength. Although Tom Spike is not familiar with military affairs, he is really not optimistic. If the scene just happened again, then Paz
There is no need to fight for the expeditionary force, it would be better to just go back home.
It was no surprise that just as Derek Champion opened his mouth, he suddenly heard a violent explosion coming from the outer harbor.
What the hell is going on? James Jerome reacted the fastest, throwing himself directly on the porthole and looking out to sea.
The scene that happened in front of him was something that James Jerome would never forget. In the sight of James Jerome, the George V, which had been on patrol just now, had been completely thrown out of the water, and then hit the water heavily.
, the fragile hull could not withstand the huge impact force, and was broken into two parts in the middle. The bow part sank quickly. The stern part had a certain buoyancy because there was still air in the cabin. The tail part was tilted and the propeller was still rotating.
Already out of the water.
The Black Swan was even worse. Unlike the King George V, which was directly broken into two parts, the Black Swan seemed to have been ignited by the explosion. The fuel was ignited, and the entire warship was in flames. It seemed to be so big that it could melt steel. Standing there
From James Jerome's position, he could see sailors whose bodies were on fire jumping from warships into the sea one after another.
Jumping is useless, it will only make them endure more pain. If they are burned like this, they cannot be saved even if they are sent to the hospital immediately.
James Jerome definitely didn't know how big his mouth was. He muttered to himself after a while: Submarine, it's a submarine, they have submarines.
This is nonsense. Near the Black Swan, which has not yet sunk, three submarines have risen from the sea. The round bridges are very clearly exposed on the sea. James Jerome even knows that on the other side of those periscopes
At one end, there must be someone watching here as well.
Attack, attack, damn it, attack now. Derek Champlin also came to his senses and ordered the Paz to avenge the Black Swan and the George V.
It's useless, we can't defeat them, unless you want us all to die here. James Jerome is sensible and is no longer prepared to resist.
Why can't we defeat them? They only have three submarines, but we have two warships. The Paz is also a cruiser. Why can't it be defeated by three submarines? Derek Champion is not willing to fail. Maybe he has realized it, but he just doesn't want to admit it.
You are such an idiot. What you see now is indeed only three ships, but there are many more that you can't see. Use your pig brain to think about whether the Hedlanders will show you all their strength.
This is a complete trap, you pig head is so hopeless, how come it didn't kill you? James Jerome didn't want to endure it any longer, so he scolded Derek Champion.
A bloody mess.
No matter how the Hedlanders treat James Jerome and the others, James Jerome will probably never have the chance to scold Derek Champlin in person in the future, so James Jerome will definitely vent it out, otherwise
James Jerome could not forgive himself.
You idiot, you are the commander of the fleet, and you blame me, Derek Champion, for immediately shirking responsibility.
Damn it, Commander, have you ever respected me as Commander? When did my orders really take effect? James Jerome was so angry that he punched Derek Champion in the face as he spoke.
Well, the body of a naval officer is still very good. If he is thin, he will not be able to withstand the life of wandering on the sea all year round, so James Jerome's punch was really hard, and he directly beat Derek Champion
to the ground.
You, how dare you hit me. Derek Champlin wiped his nose, and the back of his hand was already a bright red. This made Derek Champlin lose his mind. Derek Champlin directly touched the holster on his waist.
.
That's enough. Can you be like a warrior and face it all bravely even if you fail? Finally, someone said something fair. Tom Spike really can't stand these two guys.
