The artillery company of the 531st Regiment is equipped with 6 105mm caliber light howitzers and 6 120mm caliber heavy mortars. As soon as the order from Zheng Yu, commander of the 531st Regiment, was given, the artillery company was already prepared.
, and immediately started firing.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" One after another, the artillery shells crossed the Boundary Street of the Kowloon Peninsula and flew towards the position of the 16th British Marine Regiment. The shells exploded, erupting into a ball of orange-red fire and sending shrapnel everywhere.
Harvesting the lives of these British soldiers who had not yet figured out what happened. In the explosion of artillery shells, people were constantly blown into the sky, and when they landed, they became a pile of minced meat.
"Get down, the Chinese are attacking!" the British officers who came to their senses shouted loudly. At the same time, a large number of people ran towards the trenches, preparing for the battle that was about to break out.
Lieutenant Bader watched as a cannonball exploded in front of him. Captain Allen in front of him was instantly blown away. After the smoke cleared, Captain Allen was revealed to have been blown into two pieces.
"Oh God! Captain Allen, are you okay?" Lieutenant Bader asked with a look of horror.
"Go back to England!" After Captain Allen said these words, the look in his eyes had disappeared.
"Counterattack! Counterattack! Come on, report to the regiment commander immediately. We have been suddenly attacked by the despicable Chinese!" The battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 16th British Marine Regiment issued the order in a panic.
Although they had been facing off against the Chinese ** team for more than half a month, they never expected that the Chinese ** team would launch an attack at this point in time, which made them completely unprepared.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Lieutenant Bader was lying in the trench, holding his head tightly. He felt that the Chinese artillery shells seemed to be endless, and they kept pouring towards their position. The British army
The position, which was not very strong to begin with, had already been blown to pieces.
"Mom! I want to go home!" Some unsteady soldiers had already started crying. The British Army had not fought in a war for several years. These new recruits had never seen such a scene. Shells kept coming.
Explosions were happening around them, and their companions were constantly being killed. The entire battlefield was filled with broken limbs and blood, just like the Asura Hell.
At 10:30 in the morning, after half an hour of artillery preparations, the British Marine Corps position had been basically destroyed. At this time, the 531st Regiment launched an attack. Thousands of men from the 1st Battalion of the 531st Regiment
, jumped out of position and rushed towards the British Marine Corps position.
"Quick! The Chinese are coming! Counterattack!" The surviving officers of the British Marine Corps ordered loudly. They pulled out the soldiers who were still holding their heads and hiding in the trenches, and asked them to open fire and prepare.
Counterattack. These ignorant British soldiers only knew how to mechanically pull the trigger and fire at the attacking squadron.
"Da da da!" Soon, the sound of heavy machine guns also rang. The surviving British troops began to effectively counterattack. The few Chinese soldiers who were charging at the front were knocked to the ground, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead. But
, more Chinese soldiers continued to attack.
"Ready the mortars! Kill the British heavy machine guns!"
"Boom!" A shell flew out and landed accurately next to the British heavy machine gun. Several British soldiers who were operating the heavy machine gun were all killed.
"Grenade!" shouted a platoon leader at the front.
Dozens of grenades flew into the British trenches, blowing up the British soldiers who were firing.
"Kill!" The Chinese soldiers took the opportunity to rush into the British trenches and began to gradually clean up the British soldiers inside.
The light machine gun, pistol, rifle, bayonet and grenade worked closely together. After the grenade was thrown, the light machine gun fired another round of bullets, and then the infantry rushed in to deal with the remaining enemy, clearing the British trenches section by section. With close cooperation
The British army was simply unable to resist.
"Battal Commander, there are too many Chinese and our position has been breached. Please give the order to retreat!" Lieutenant Bader found the battalion commander and put forward his own suggestion.
"Second Lieutenant, we are a proud British team, how could we possibly escape!" the battalion commander reprimanded loudly.
"Boom!" At this time, a cannonball flew over and exploded more than ten meters in front of them, sending several British soldiers flying into the air. When they landed, they were already lifeless.
"Second Lieutenant, order everyone to retreat. The Chinese are too strong and we can't resist them at all!" The battalion commander, the major, swallowed hard, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.
Soon, the more than 200 British Marines involved withdrew from the trenches and fled toward the Kowloon Peninsula. The Chinese soldiers were in hot pursuit and were likely to hit Hong Kong in one fell swoop.
In the Government House on Albert Road, mid-level in Central, Hong Kong Island, the current Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. Bully, is personally drafting a telegram. The content of the telegram is to request the cabinet to allow them to evacuate Hong Kong. Hong Kong is no longer safe.
The team's attack is imminent, continue to stay in Hong Kong
Hong Kong will only put them in danger. After losing the protection of the navy, the strength of a regiment stationed in Hong Kong is no match for the wolf-like squadron. Therefore, for their own lives and
For the sake of glory, Bu Li hopes to persuade the cabinet to abandon Hong Kong.
"Your Majesty the Governor, something bad has happened. The Chinese have launched an attack on us!" The secretary of the Governor's Office came in and reported with a look of horror.
"What? The Chinese launched an attack?" Governor Bu Li was stunned. The pen in his hand had fallen to the ground. He leaned slumped on the sofa. Now, he no longer knew what to do!
The Chinese army launched an attack, which meant that Hong Kong could no longer hold on, and these people were either killed or had to go into Chinese prisoner-of-war camps.
A few minutes later, Colonel Yalman, commander of the 16th British Marine Regiment, also came to Governor Bulli's office.
"Your Majesty the Governor, the Chinese have broken through our defense lines, and now the entire Kowloon Peninsula is about to fall. Please make a decision quickly, Your Majesty the Governor!" Colonel Arman urged.
"Your Excellency, Colonel, are your people capable of defeating the Chinese?" Governor Bu Li looked a little pale.
"Your Majesty the Governor, are you kidding me? My regiment only has 2,000 people. I have to face 18,000 well-equipped squadrons. This is simply impossible!" Colonel Jarman felt like he was being stepped on.
Like a cat that has reached its tail, it suddenly jumped up. If the powerful navy was still there, it might be possible to hold Hong Kong Island, but the navy is gone, and everything has become a luxury.
"In this case, do we have any other choice? Colonel Yaman, order your people to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Chinese! As the governor, I have the responsibility to ensure everyone's safety!" Governor Bulli said.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!" Colonel Yaman breathed a sigh of relief. If Governor Bli did not agree to surrender, he really didn't know what to do.
Soon, the British Marine Corps laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Chinese Army. The 53rd Division, with only one regiment of troops, successfully disarmed the British Marine Corps and took control of the entire Hong Kong area.
.All the surrendered British soldiers were put into prisoner-of-war camps, and all the British officials were also put under guard.
After Wang Yuze learned the telegram to regain Hong Kong, he was even more excited and burst into tears.
"Order the 53rd Division to dispatch a regiment to Macau. I hope those Portuguese will know more about it!" Wang Yuze ordered. After Hong Kong was taken back, only Macau was left. Of course, as for the lands occupied by the Russians,
After this war, all will be taken back. In this way, Wang Yuze will finally take back all the territory left by his ancestors. The next step is to expand the territory.
Telegrams about the Chinese Communist Army's attack on Hong Kong and Hong Kong Governor Bully's surrender to China were sent to London one after another, less than an hour apart. At that time, it was two o'clock in the morning in London.
The British Prime Minister, the Marquess of Salisbury, was once again awakened from his deep sleep. However, when his secretary told him that the Chinese Communist Party had launched an attack on Hong Kong, his sleepiness immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Are the Chinese finally going to take action? Hong Kong is a territory of the British Empire. If the arrogant Chinese dare to attack Hong Kong, I will make you pay the price!" the Marquis of Salisbury murmured.
After China and Britain declared war on each other, he knew that China would definitely attack Hong Kong.
. However, he still has a trace of fantasy. He thinks that China may not dare to offend Britain to death and will leave some room for relaxation. Hong Kong is a good testing tool. But now, China has launched an attack on Hong Kong.
There is no doubt that this shows that China does not take Britain seriously at all.
"Bring Lord Walter Kerr and Earl Frederick Sleigh Roberts to see me immediately!" the Marquess of Salisbury ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" The secretary immediately sent for the Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Walter Kerr, and Field Marshal, Earl Frederick Slay Roberts.
"Arrogant and ignorant Chinese, you have successfully provoked the wrath of the British Empire. Wait for the revenge of the great British Royal Navy! This time, the entire China must be destroyed and you will be completely reduced to a colony of the empire!"
The Marquis of Salisbury said secretly. More than half a month ago, the Far East Fleet was destroyed, and Britain had already made preparations for battle. However, Britain's huge
The naval fleets are deployed all over the world, and it will take some time to gather them together. And now, China has launched an attack on Hong Kong, which has forced Britain to a point of no return. If the Marquis of Salisbury does not want to be angry
If the people are driven out of power, effective countermeasures must be taken immediately. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
