On the morning of April 6, 1899, in Xinhua Palace, Beijing, Wang Yuze was discussing the current war situation with Xiong Wu, the Chief of General Staff who had returned to Beijing to take charge of the General Staff Headquarters. After the Chinese Air Force airship force was dispatched, the Chinese Air Force achieved a decisive victory in the Far East.
After gaining the advantage, the Northeast Theater Command was abolished, and Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu, who served as the commander of the Northeast Theater, was able to return to Beijing to direct the entire army's operations.
"Your Majesty, the large-scale battle in the Northeastern battlefield has ended. The Second Army will immediately enter into rest and preparation to prepare for the landing in Japan. The northern battlefield is preparing for the Battle of Ulan-Ude. If everything goes well
, the battle will begin in five days. On the northwest battlefield, the Fifth Army and the First Cavalry Army have captured Almaty and are marching to the Kazakh grassland area, preparing for a decisive battle with the reinforcements sent by the Russian army to Central Asia.
This move established our army's decisive advantage in Central Asia. In addition, the combat troops in the Nanyang region are also well prepared. The four divisions of the Southwest Military Region have arrived at the Yunnan border and are ready for battle. The five divisions of the South China Military Region
We are also ready. The fire support warships and transport ships provided by the Navy are all in place. Several brigades of the Marine Corps are also ready to go into battle!" Xiong Wu had already taken over as soon as he returned to the General Staff Headquarters.
The work of the General Staff.
"Well! Then, the combat operations in Nanyang can begin!" Wang Yuze said. After Xiong Wu comes back, Xiong Wu will keep an eye on the progress of each battlefield, and he will be much more relaxed.
"Yes, Your Majesty! The battle against Nanyang will begin tomorrow morning!" Xiong Wu said.
"So, what about Hong Kong? When will Hong Kong be taken back?" Wang Yuze asked. Since war has been declared with Britain, the ceded Hong Kong must be taken back.
"The 53rd Division of the South China Military Region is ready to launch an attack on Hong Kong at any time. Now the British only have one regiment of marines in Hong Kong, and they have no heavy firepower. The British Navy's Far East Fleet was destroyed by us
After that, it will be very easy to conquer Hong Kong!" Xiong Wu replied.
"Very good, then, start the combat operation against Hong Kong immediately!" Wang Yuze's eyes flashed with excitement. Hong Kong has been occupied by the British for more than half a century. Now, China is finally taking back this piece of land.
After taking back Hong Kong, it will be Macau. China will not pay attention to the Portuguese at all. After taking back Hong Kong, if the Portuguese have sense, they will give Macau to them. Otherwise, they will not be as good as they are.
"Yes, Your Majesty! I immediately gave the order to the 53rd Division to launch an attack on Hong Kong!" Xiong Wu said.
The history of Hong Kong can be traced back to the Neolithic Age 5,000 years ago. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he established three counties in the south: Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun. Hong Kong was affiliated to Panyu County, Nanhai County. From then on, Hong Kong
Place in the center
Under the jurisdiction of the political power. In the Han Dynasty, Hong Kong was under the jurisdiction of Boluo County, Nanhai County. In the sixth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (331 AD), Hong Kong was under the jurisdiction of Bao'an County, Dongguan County. In the Sui Dynasty, Hong Kong was under the jurisdiction of Bao'an County, Nanhai County, Guangzhou Prefecture. In the second year of Zhide in the Tang Dynasty (
AD 757
), Bao'an County was changed to Dongguan County, and Hong Kong still belonged to Dongguan County. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, a large number of people from the mainland moved to Hong Kong, which promoted Hong Kong's economy and culture to develop greatly. During the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty, some places were set aside from Dongguan County and established
Xin'an County
, later became the Hong Kong region. From the time when Hong Kong Island became a British colony in the 21st year of Daoguang reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty (1841 AD), the area was under the jurisdiction of Xin'an County, Guangzhou Prefecture.
Hong Kong is an excellent deep-water port and was once known as one of the three largest natural seaports in the world. In the early years, the British took a fancy to the potential of Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor to become an excellent port in East Asia.
January 26, 1841: After the First Opium War, the British occupied Hong Kong Island. Afterwards, the Qing government tried to regain it by force. Emperor Daoguang issued many edicts to this end, but the Qing Dynasty was never able to defend its territorial integrity.
August 29, 1842: The Qing government signed the unequal Treaty of Nanjing with the United Kingdom, ceding Hong Kong Island to the United Kingdom.
October 24, 1860: China and Britain signed the unequal Treaty of Beijing, ceding the area south of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula to Britain.
What is different from history is that after the Sino-Japanese War, the British took advantage of the Qing Dynasty's defeat to force the Qing government to sign the "Hong Kong Boundary Expansion Ordinance" and lease the area north of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula and 262 nearby islands for a period of
1999 (ends on June 30, 1997). However, in this era, Western Sichuan rose, defeated Japan, and unified China. The British had no way to occupy the New Territories and other places.
After China and Britain declared war on each other, the 53rd Division of the Chinese Army marched into the Kowloon Peninsula. The 531st Regiment was deployed directly in the area north of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula to confront the British troops in Hong Kong.
The entire 53rd Division had already been waiting for the order to march to Hong Kong. However, it had been delayed for more than half a month, and no final order had been issued, making everyone very anxious.
The British troops in Hong Kong are also very scared. The British Far East Fleet has been wiped out, and Hong Kong has lost its most important protection. How can a regiment alone resist the attack of the Chinese army? A large number of British troops
, have all been withdrawn to China, or to India, and those left behind are all poor people, or people who cannot evacuate because of their responsibilities. Of course, the Chinese, who account for the vast majority of Hong Kong's population, have long been waiting with eager anticipation.
Waiting for the imperial army to regain Hong Kong.
Bu Li is the current Governor of Hong Kong. He became the 12th Governor of Hong Kong in November last year. After the rise of China, it is not so easy to be the Governor of Hong Kong. Almost everyone knows that the rising China will not allow the British
continued to occupy Hong Kong. However, Bu Li did not expect that he would be so unlucky.
After becoming the Governor of Hong Kong, the British Far East Fleet was wiped out, China and Britain declared war, and the powerful Chinese fleet is about to enter Hong Kong. He will become the first Governor to be defeated and captured. These days, Bu Li has also
I have always been on tenterhooks, not knowing when the Chinese army will wait until it launches an attack on Hong Kong.
South of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula, more than 500 people from the 2nd Battalion of the 16th British Marine Regiment are stationed here. To the north of them, there are more than 4,000 people from a regiment of the Chinese Army. This makes the 16th British Marine Regiment
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion felt great pressure.
"Captain Allen, when do you think the Chinese will come over?" Second Lieutenant Bud asked nervously. He had seen that the Chinese ** team opposite had deployed at least dozens of cannons in the artillery position.
And the entire 16th British Marine Regiment didn't have a few cannons. If there was a real war, I'm afraid they would be torn to pieces at the first opportunity. Thinking of this, Lieutenant Bader regretted it very much. If he had known it earlier,
, you should not be greedy for subsidies and come to serve in Hong Kong.
"Only the devil knows. Bud, you don't think we can resist the Chinese attack, do you? The Chinese army on the opposite side is a reorganized regiment. A Chinese regiment has more than 4,000 people, which is more than ours."
There are more than two regiments. In addition, within 20 kilometers north of us, there is a Chinese division with more than 18,000 men and hundreds of cannons. If they have any reason, they can send us away at any time.
Go see God!
"Captain Allen said bitterly. He and most of the British soldiers had the same idea. It was simply impossible for their regiment of Marines to hold Hong Kong. Instead of letting them die here, it would be better to withdraw to
It would have been better for India to withdraw directly to the country. But those damn politicians rejected their request and asked them to stick to their posts. And this, in their view, was simply asking them to die.
"Captain Allen, do you think the Chinese will not dare to attack Hong Kong? Although the Chinese have annihilated our Far East Fleet, the main force of the British Empire's navy still exists. If they launch an attack on Hong Kong, once their navy is defeated
If they do, they will pay a higher price!" Lieutenant Bader said naively.
Captain Allen shook his head, and then said: "I bet that these Chinese are not afraid of the British at all. I heard that they defeated the Russians in the north and wiped out hundreds of thousands of enemies. The Russians are not their opponents at all.
.Even if their navy fails, their army is enough to ensure their homeland security. Therefore, I am sure that the Chinese will launch an attack on Hong Kong soon!"
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Major General Gu Yongtong, commander of the 53rd Division, whose headquarters was located in Bao'an, received an order from the General Staff Headquarters to attack Hong Kong.
"Come here, send a report to the 531st Regiment immediately, asking them to launch an attack on Hong Kong immediately, and drive all those naughty British guys into the sea to feed the fish!" Major General Gu Yongtong, commander of the 53rd Division, ordered excitedly. He
I have been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Yes, division commander!" The signal soldier immediately sent the order.
Zheng Yu, commander of the 531st Regiment, was inspecting the defense line. Although he knew very well that a regiment of Marines deployed in Hong Kong had no guts to attack his troops, he still built the defense line meticulously.
Inspecting the defense lines every day and confronting the British troops across Boundary Street has become a required course for him every day.
"Captain, there's an urgent call from the division headquarters!" Suddenly, Zheng Yu's guards quickly ran towards him.
"What order?" Zheng Yu asked quickly.
"Captain, the division headquarters ordered us to launch an attack immediately!" the guard gasped as he ran out of breath.
"Haha! I have finally waited for this day! Open fire for me from the artillery battery and kill those British guys!" Zheng Yu laughed loudly. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
