Wan Chai District, Coalition Forces Command Headquarters.
In the command post, Lieutenant General James and generals from the United States, France, Russia and other countries gathered together.
James's face was slightly pale, which was the symptom after the last fainting. He held a telegram sent from the Governor's Residence of Hong Kong, with a serious expression and excitement in his eyes, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, the commanders and envoys of various countries are discussing Finally, the strategy for the next battle with Qi Zhenhai has been determined. According to the strategy in the telegram, we must take the initiative to attract Qi Zhenhai's attention, which will facilitate the progress of the big plan. Everyone has different opinions on this strategy. Yes, please speak freely."
Everyone had a telegram in their hands and the plan was clear.
James waited for about a minute and saw that no one objected, then continued: "According to the reconnaissance information, Qi Zhenhai has led a division under his command to arrive at Jardine's Hill in Wan Chai District. Currently, it is stationed at the foot of Jardine's Hill for execution. Plan, and in order to prevent the Chinese army from continuing to move south, the coalition forces immediately went to Jardine's Mountain and blocked Qi Zhenhai at the front line of Jardine's Mountain."
The leading generals from various countries immediately went to convey the order and quickly set off to leave.
Jardine's Lookout sounds like a mountain, but it's actually just a peak.
It is located in the southeast of Wan Chai District on Hong Kong Island, south of Tai Hang, with an altitude of 433 meters. After Qi Zhenhai led his troops to Jardine's Lookout, he captured Jardine's Lookout with lightning speed and controlled Jardine's Lookout's strategy. The main road was built, and a command post was built on the mountain.
Down the hillside, various checkpoints have been arranged.
Qi Zhenhai was patrolling important thoroughfares with his guards. At this time, a soldier quickly ran over and reported: "Division Commander, Brigadier Liu, please return to the command post immediately. We have important matters to discuss."
"good."
Qi Zhenhai nodded and turned back.
Returning to the command post, Qi Zhenhai sat down and asked, "Brigadier Liu, what's the latest news?"
Liu Jintang smiled slightly and said: "Two pieces of news. The first piece of news is that the armies of various countries have taken action and are rushing towards Jardine's Hill. The next battlefield should undoubtedly be Jardine's Hill. The second piece of news is that of Hong Kong Island. Liu Yongfu sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he had organized the people of Hong Kong and already had a force, and asked if they needed their cooperation."
Qi Zhenhai raised his eyebrows and said: "The armies from various countries are coming. Let's fight them and then continue south. As for Liu Yongfu, I don't have detailed information about him."
Liu Jintang put his hand on his forehead, laughed dryly, and said bitterly: "Mr. Qi, this is my fault. I forgot. Last night, the president sent a telegram specifically talking about Liu Yongfu. , because it was a little late at the time, and because Liu Yongfu was just an ordinary citizen, I didn’t take it seriously, so I forgot to tell you today that Liu Yongfu is a citizen of Hong Kong. When the President went to Hong Kong to provide disaster relief, he went to meet Liu Yongfu. He has a high reputation among the Chinese people in Hong Kong and has organized the people so that he can work for us."
Qi Zhenhai shook his head and said: "Since we are common people, we don't need to participate. Let the soldiers do the fighting."
Liu Jintang nodded and asked the soldier to reply. However, the wording must be much more tactful. It was impossible to directly refuse Liu Yongfu's kindness. Liu Jintang understood this.
…
In half a day, armies from various countries arrived at Jardine's Hill.
James summoned all the generals and ordered the soldiers to control the main road going south. Then, he immediately mobilized the troops. At 2:15 in the afternoon, James ordered a British regiment to start a frontal attack and storm the Jardine's Hill position. At the same time, Troops from the United States, France, Russia and other countries attacked the flanks and attacked from the side.
With the strength of the British army as the main force, an all-round attack was launched.
Artillery from all countries were drawn out and aimed at the Chinese army at Jardine's Hill and fired.
The rumbling sound of cannons broke the tranquility of Jardine's Hill.
On the mountain, Sun Sanpao's artillery was located. He looked around with his binoculars and saw the cannons from various countries. He tutted: "The bastard foreigners include British and foreign artillery, French and Italian artillery, and American federal artillery." Artillery, as well as the artillery of other small countries, countless cannons are placed below, well, it would be great if these cannons were all ours."
He stared at the cannon far away from the range, with a trace of greed in his eyes.
There are only three artillery companies under his command, two of which are ordinary artillery companies. As for the anti-tank artillery, because no tanks appeared, they can only rest temporarily. Sun Sanpao pointed down the mountain and said loudly: "Give them all to me." Aim, be sure to bomb at the place where there are many foreigners at the bottom of the mountain. Don’t waste the shells. If you waste a shell, I will let him miss a meal."
"Don't worry, battalion commander, we understand."
"This is not the first time I have dealt with foreigners. I have never been afraid. The ones who are afraid are cowards."
Each of the artillerymen spoke clearly.
Sun Sanpao said loudly: "That's a lot of nonsense. I want results, so be prepared."
He paused for a moment and shouted: "Let it go."
In an instant, artillery shells flew out one after another, drew arcs in the air, and landed on the British troops attacking from the front. The artillery shells exploded with a bang, a powerful energy burst out, the soil flew up, and the British soldiers were It was blown up and flew up. When it landed, it was a bloody mess and had no breath anymore. The shells were everywhere, causing great damage to the British troops who were attacking from the front.
At the command post, Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng were all paying attention to the battle situation.
Chen Yucheng stared at the situation down the mountain, frowned, and said seriously: "Commander Qi, Brigadier Liu, I discovered a very important problem. The tanks that the British rely on most do not appear this time."
Liu Jintang curled his lips and said: "The British 'bastards' can't withstand the bombing and dare not come out."
Qi Zhenhai thought for a moment and said: "Brigadier Chen is right. He did not appear. Although tanks are easily destroyed by our armor-piercing bombs, when weapons like tanks are put into the battlefield and used properly, they are definitely very powerful. I I think it is impossible for Britain to give up its tanks."
"Then why do you think this is?" Liu Jintang asked.
Qi Zhenhai shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. Let's let the soldiers hit him harder and test it out."
Chen Yucheng said: "I agree."
Liu Jintang looked slightly arrogant and said: "If you hit harder, it won't be enough. If you want to do it, do it harder. Our power is not weaker than the foreigners. We directly ordered a general offensive to defeat the foreigners. Only by hitting them hard can we test them to the maximum extent." .”
Qi Zhenhai nodded in agreement and sent someone to pass the order.
At the same time, at the command posts of the armies of various countries, James looked through the telescope and saw the British army attacking from the front and the armies of various countries attacking from the side. He saw that the armies of all countries had made certain progress, and he was greatly relieved.
James looked at the guard and ordered: "Send the order, let the soldiers in the artillery battalion strengthen the fire suppression, try their best to suppress the fire power on the Chinese army position, provide cover to the charging soldiers, and at the same time, let the charging soldiers be fiercer, and then Work harder and strive to occupy the opponent's position at once and win."
“Du, du, du,,.”
As soon as James finished speaking, the sound of the Charge came.
The sound of the horn came from the opposite position.
In James's telescope, countless Chinese soldiers rushed out of the trenches and directly launched a general offensive. They rushed down from the mountains, charging and firing at the same time. Their condescending sprints, as well as the desperate efforts of a large number of soldiers, overwhelmed the countries that had just made some progress. The army pushed them back, and the ferocious attack made James stunned.
