On June 12, the sixth year of Kaihong, when it was almost midnight, the whole of Toronto was in chaos like never before, and a news circulated in the city - Chinese appeared less than 30 kilometers from the city!

This was completely beyond their imagination, and even when the news came, a banquet was still being held in the Canadian Governor's Palace, where the high-ranking officials and generals of the Governor's Mansion were attending, singing and dancing, who would have thought that the Chinese had actually come down to the city.

In fact, if it weren't for an accident - a British herald accidentally discovered the main force of the 167th Division that was landing, perhaps the British would not have reacted until they reached the city of Toronto. But even then, they were given a few hours.

After the initial chaos, Hank still struggled to mobilize as many armed forces as he could mobilize – 2,700 British soldiers, 865 mounted police, and less than 2,000 volunteers, the only force he had at his disposal to defend Toronto.

If there is one thing that makes people happy, it is that they have built fortifications before he transferred the main force to reinforce Saint-Sumary, and this is the only thing that makes people happy.

"We'll be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive!"

Hank was so encouraging that while General Hank did everything possible to adjust his deployment and defend Toronto, An Guotao, who arrived in Toronto, saw the defense of the British army.

The surprise attack does not become a strong attack!

At midnight on June 12, the soldiers of Toronto, who had arrived on a forced march, began to prepare for the attack almost without repair, and they spent several hours building offensive positions, and the soldiers stayed up all night preparing for the attack.

At 5:20 a.m. on the 13th, just as the day was about to break, the silent earth trembled violently.

More than 100 mortars of various calibers and field guns roared outside Toronto, instantly engulfing the British positions outside Toronto. The fortifications built by the British army outside Toronto in more than two months fell apart in an instant, but this was only part of it.

Unlike other people who use artillery and like to disperse the configuration of firepower, although An Guotao is not an orthodox officer, which makes him often choose other ways, such as in the configuration of firepower, he ordered all the mortars and field guns of the whole army to be concentrated together and concentrated on the assault surface, so as to give the most powerful fire support to the assault surface, in just a few minutes, thousands of shells fell on the British position less than a kilometer wide, almost completely shrouded in artillery fire, they never dreamed, The artillery fire of the Chinese will be so strong.

"Knock out a base shell in three minutes!"

This is An Guotao's order!

Three minutes of artillery cover is undoubtedly devastating for the British army, but for the attacking troops, these three minutes of artillery fire allows them to easily tear through the British defensive line, under the cover of powerful artillery fire, the 598th Regiment as the main offensive offensive advanced in a multi-way attack, during the attack, the frontmost attacking troops and the artillery fire kept a distance of almost 100 meters, and when they approached the British front line, the artillery fire that was originally fierce to the British position immediately began to extend to its depth.

Under the cover of this unprecedented heavy artillery fire, thousands of officers and men leaped to their feet, rushed out of the trenches with overwhelming force, and then pounced on the enemy position. At the same time as they attacked, hundreds of mortar shells bloomed in the enemy position, and the six Gatling heavy machine guns used to suppress the enemy army spit out a fire dragon towards the British position, so as to prevent the British troops on both wings from reinforcing them, in fact, at this time, the British troops on both wings had no way to break into the main position in the sea of fire, and they could only watch the main position slowly fall under the attack of the Chinese army.

For a time, thick smoke rose from the battlefield, and shrapnel flew sideways. As the artillery fire extended backwards, the fighters who rushed to the front were about to engage the enemy, and first threw two grenades in succession at the British positions, unlike the mortar shells that fell near the trenches, most of these grenades fell into the British trenches, blowing up clouds of smoke in the trenches and killing hundreds of British officers and soldiers.

At the same time, the soldiers who were constantly attacking were shot and fell, even so the other soldiers still rushed desperately, under the fierce artillery fire, the British did not give up the army, but continued to return fire with the command in the way of the gun, many soldiers fell, blood stained red by the shells of some hot land.

The moment the grenade thrown out by the grenadier exploded, at the moment when the fire of the British position was stagnant, the soldiers who followed finally rushed into the British trench, and the British troops in the trench, who were already a little dizzy under the intensive artillery fire and grenade damage, did not wait to be killed, but jumped out of the trench with the orders of the officers, launched counter-submachine guns, and started a white-knuckle fight with the attacking troops.

Just like the thin red line cast by their predecessors on the battlefield of Crimea ten years ago, these British soldiers in red uniforms still use their courage to defend the dignity of Britain, and the glory of the British Empire was created by these ordinary soldiers nicknamed "lobster soldiers", who may understand the disparity in power between the two sides, but at this time, they are determined to fight for honor and dignity.

The two fierce waves of green and red waves collided in this somewhat scorching land that had been baked by artillery fire and blood, and when the two waves collided, the red and the green immediately fell into chaos, red in green, green in red, and in this melee, bayonets and rifle butts were the most powerful weapons.

The fight of bayonets and bayonets is completely a tearing of will!

Thousands of Chinese and British officers and men used bayonets and rifle butts to scuffle in front of the British positions, and the grenadiers who jumped into the British trenches did not have time to remove the rifles behind their backs, and even they just waved long-handled grenades in their hands, as if they were wielding hammers, shouting in the trenches, and smashed the bodies and heads of the enemy soldiers with grenades.

"What the hell ......"

In the midst of a shout in the trenches, there was a loud hoarse roar, and Yu Jiacai, who was holding a grenade in his hand, shouted and cursed, the green military uniform on his body would have changed color, and the blood would soak through the military uniform before it would seep out.

His eyes glared at the British soldier in front of him, the black cast-iron casing of the grenade in his right hand, the blood that was dripping from it, and there were blood splatters everywhere on his hands, body, and face.

In the previous fight with the British, he had been stabbed with the British bayonet for I don't know how many bayonets, and he would lose so much blood that he felt weak when he hurriedly walked, but he still stared at the Englishman who sneaked up on him.

“%……#%￥#”

The British soldier on the opposite side looked at this devil-like enemy who seemed to have crawled out of hell, and muttered that Yu Jiacai couldn't understand what he was saying, but the fear in his blue eyes on his face blackened by gunpowder couldn't deceive people.

“%￥”

He shouted as he approached the British soldier, and then stabbed him with a bayonet.

"Phew!"

Before the bayonet pierced his chest, Yu Jiacai grabbed the bayonet as soon as he could, the tip of the knife sank into his chest, and his hand grasped the blade of the bayonet, and he didn't even feel pain. In fact, it didn't hurt at all, Yu Jiacai's body had long been numb, and he didn't feel pain at all.

The bayonet was held by this man, and the British soldier who could not advance or retreat was frightened by this scene, he could not believe what he saw, he cried out in horror, and tried to plunge the bayonet into the body of this man, but he found that he seemed to have no strength, but he stabbed helplessly, but the bayonet did not move, as if there was an iron plate in front of the man's chest blocking the bayonet.

At this moment, the British soldier smiled when he saw the devil-like Chinese in front of him, and his smile was like a devil's smile.

"God......

With a sharp slip under his feet, the British soldier with the gun fell sharply, and the gun slipped out of his hand, and he kept backing down, looking at the devil in horror.

The bayonet was in the hand of the family, and his left hand was grasped towards the bayonet, and the blade of the knife was rotated, and the bayonet was removed from the muzzle of the gun.

"Grandma's ......"

With a long snort, Yu Jiacai pulled out the bayonet on his chest, he held a bayonet in his left hand, a grenade in his right hand, and the long-handled grenade in his hand was even dripping with blood, and even the black bullet body still carried something like a tofu brain, I don't know if it was the brains of the British soldier.

At this time, Yu Jiacai was not so much fighting as walking forward there by instinct, and John obviously did not know that all this, he just retreated with his hands and feet, trying to avoid this devil-like Chinese, and the hammer-like grenade in his eyes became a symbol of death.

Red blood, white brains, and black grenades make for a terrifying thing.

Staring at the grenade that could take his life at any moment, John's heart rose with powerlessness and fear, and he even screamed there like a child, crying and praying helplessly, and retreating with his hands and legs and even his buttocks, he wanted to get away from this guy.

But he chased after him relentlessly.

When a red shadow broke in front of him, the bayonet in his left hand instinctively stabbed forward, twisted, and warm blood sprayed Yu Jiacai's hand.

"Damn!"

By pushing away the corpse, Yu Jiacai scolded again, staring at the British soldier and continuing to walk in the trench, at this time, he couldn't hear any sound in his ears, and there seemed to be only this British soldier in his eyes.

It seemed that nothing was more important to him than to kill the British soldier. It is not so much that he fights by instinct, but that instinct drives him to the final task of life......
