At 4 o'clock on December 30, 1935, the sky was still dark, but in order to avoid being discovered, ten submarines and four minesweepers of the Qin State's North Sea Fleet quietly sneaked into Hong Kong Bay.
A path was opened for the submarines, and then ten submarines slipped into the harbor and dealt a devastating blow to the British warships there.
In fact, the whole plan is very risky. Although the water depth in Hong Kong is suitable for large ships and merchant ships to berth, there are still a large number of rocks underwater, and an attack on Mahakala can easily hit the rocks. In addition, I am really lucky that the British do not remember
The defense was very lax, and the minesweepers were casually laid. The minesweepers could easily clear these obstacles for the submarines. If there were too many minesweepers and it was dark, the British would not be able to discover them. With four minesweepers,
I really don’t know when it will take to get the torpedo boat, and the reason why the North Sea Fleet takes action at this time is to prevent this kind of thing from happening, and it is worth taking some risks.
After the submarines slipped in, they each found their target to attack, and then waited for the order to attack.
The same scene also happened in Labuan Island. Labuan Island is an overseas island in the northwest of Borneo in East Malaysia. It covers an area of 98 square kilometers (38 square miles) at the entrance of Brunei Bay. It was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1846 and incorporated into the Straits Settlements in 1906. In 1946, it was
Entering the colony of North Borneo (now Sabah) from 1963 to 1966, it was the headquarters of the Federal Defense Forces. Victoria on the southeast coast is the main town and deep-water free port. The island has a low and flat terrain, and the plantation industry is developed. It has a good road network and a large airport. It mainly produces rubber.
, copra, sago
Victoria Harbor on the south coast of Labuan Island is a deep-water port in the South China Sea. Sea-going ships can enter during high tide. The British fleet is stationed here, including the British naval headquarters.
At 4 o'clock on the 30th, 12 submarines and 6 minesweepers quietly entered the port. It must be said that the work of the East Factory and the West Factory was very meticulous. Every move of the British was under control. Perhaps the British came to the port.
Being beaten for the first time was not bad enough. They still believed that they were the most powerful country in the world. There were still not many obstacles or mines arranged in the harbor. However, this was what Wang Jiuling wanted to see, and it was also what the navy wanted to see. They also followed up.
Take a clear look at the large and small ships in the harbor, and then prepare torpedoes to aim at the warships as quickly as possible and prepare to launch
After everything was ready for the South China Sea and North Sea fleets, it was already slightly light. Both sides replied to their respective fleets with a number 1. 1 means that they are ready and can start the attack. This city has discussed it in advance, and their respective fleets have received the order.
Then they replied each other with a number - 1, and then the submarine launched a torpedo. Ten seconds later, the British warship burst into flames, and there were explosions one after another. Countless British sailors went up to the west sky while they were sleeping. No, it was down.
hell
The submarines fired all their torpedoes without hesitation and took out the biggest target. Then they took out the second biggest target until they were all wiped out.
After the North Sea Fleet issued the attack order, it headed to Hong Kong from the sea ten kilometers away from Hong Kong, and the hidden transport ship also set off to board. There was a regiment of marines in the transport ship. As long as the British warships were destroyed, Qin could easily seize it.
Hongkong
At this time, Hong Kong was basically the territory of later generations of Hong Kong. It was composed of many small islands. Without the protection of the navy, Hong Kong was like Lin Xiling without clothes. You could do whatever you wanted.
Half an hour later, the North Sea Fleet covered the transport ship and transported the Marines to the Hong Kong and Macau piers to attack Hong Kong Island. They were surrounded by artillery support from cruisers and destroyers, and there were also several armored vehicles to cooperate with the attack. The purpose was to capture the Hong Kong Governor's Palace and capture him alive.
The Governor of Hong Kong can of course die.
When the Qin spies in Hong Kong heard the sound of gunshots and cannons, they immediately took action, either to sneak attack the British army or to guide the Qin army to attack.
After more than two hours of fierce fighting, there was no large-scale resistance on Hong Kong Island, and the British Governor and his family were also captured alive. The Qin army immediately asked him to persuade others to surrender. At this time, the British army's defeat was inevitable.
Although this guy was unwilling, he did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices. In this way, the New Territories, Kowloon and other places voluntarily surrendered before the Qin army could attack. The next step was to throw all the British into concentration camps and detain them. Of course, they accepted it by the way.
British property, I believe there is a lot of money plundered from China, as well as a large number of antiques and jewelry
When Wang Jiuling learned that Hong Kong had been captured, he immediately sent 20 bombers, 30 fighter jets, and 15 torpedo planes to station in Hong Kong to deal with possible British attacks. At the same time, transport planes transported a large amount of weapons and ammunition to supply the navy.
While the North Sea Fleet in Hong Kong was attacking, the South China Sea Fleet in Labuan Island also launched an attack on the British fleet. Their results were no less than those of the North Sea Fleet. After destroying the British navy, the South China Sea Fleet also arrived outside Labuan Island.
, and they also needed to cover the Marine Corps' landing on Labuan Island to capture the airport on the island. The landing went smoothly. All the British troops were attracted by the explosion in the south, while the Marine Corps all landed on the north of the island and did not encounter any
The British troops who resisted on the island fell into chaos
However, the Qin army on the island will face bombing by British aircraft and counterattack by the British army, and they will not receive support from the Qin Air Force. Similarly, in order to preserve its strength, the Navy will not hurt the British Air Force. The navy's cruisers and
The destroyers assisted the submarines and covered the British warships and cargo ports with firepower before evacuating. Basically, the British navy here can be said to be useless. Next, it depends on the air force and army.
The Qin Navy sent several frigates that did not attack Borneo, occupied the Anambas Islands 270 kilometers away from Singapore, and sent a battalion of troops to control the island. At the same time, the airborne troops were on a destroyer and a heavy gunboat.
With the support of the British Army, they airborne on the Nasna Islands, 560 kilometers away from Singapore and 350 kilometers away from Kuching, Malaya, Borneo. A British company on the island quickly surrendered under the attack of the Qin Navy.
, then the South Nasna Islands, which lay between the Nasna Islands and Borneo, were also occupied.
If the Qin army occupies these islands, they can build airports on them and aircraft can circulate here. At the same time, if the battle in Borneo does not go well, occupying these places can also provide powerful air support.
The battlefield situation is very gratifying. As long as the Qin army occupies a territory in East Malaya and expands it, the Qin army can quickly control East Malaya. As for the British reinforcements, it will be too late to save them.
