Chapter 340: Planted
Just as the battle was intensifying, the three forces of Thunder were advancing rapidly, crushing the Yellow Flag Gang with the momentum of thunder, but Shi Mingzhi was on top of the warship, cruising in the western waters of the Lantang Strait, guarding the northwest of Hong Kong Island to prevent the Blue Flag Gang and the Red Flag Gang from suddenly inserting and fishing in troubled waters.

The platoon of guards stood guard on all sides, standing at the railing, looking resolutely in all directions. At this time, a soldier on Shi Mingzhi's side asked puzzledly: "Chief of Staff, how did our three forces on Hong Kong Island slow down the pace of advance just now?" Isn't it as fast as possible? so as to have more time to prepare for the defense of Hong Kong Island. ”
Shi Mingzhi still looked at the direction of Hong Kong Island, paying attention to the battlefield situation of the three forces of Thunder, as if he couldn't feel the movement of the ships, and when he heard the adjutant's doubtful words, he said slowly without turning his head: "The reason why he slowed down was to buy more time, in order to achieve the maximum effect of defeating the Yellow Flag Gang." ”
As if he could feel the confusion of his subordinates, and did not fully understand what he said, Shi Mingzhi pointed to the direction of Hong Kong Island and further explained: "You see, once the offensive of the three forces slows down, it will attract more troops from the Yellow Flag Gang to gather in the southern district of Hong Kong Island, so as to buy more time for the roundabout troops on both sides to take the batteries along the coast of the central and western districts and the eastern districts and the harbor where the warships are anchored, and reduce their resistance." ”
"In this way, once the two roundabout troops succeed, we will not only get complete warships out of thin air, but also prevent the Yellow Flag Gang from colluding with the two major pirate forces in the west, cutting off their way to the west."
"With our warships here, the coastal forts of Hong Kong Island near Victoria Harbor are controlled by our army, as long as there is a stir in the New Territories and the Kowloon Peninsula, and the two major forces have a move to move eastward, the artillery fire in the two places can keep them out and make it impossible to get close to Hong Kong Island, providing a prerequisite for us to actually control Hong Kong Island, and the three forces can eliminate the resistance on the island without any scruples."
The adjutant showed a sudden expression, completely understood, and had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, extremely comfortable. When he was about to say something, Shi Mingzhi muttered to himself again, his tone full of confidence.
"Judging from the current battlefield situation, it is inevitable to take Hong Kong Island, and it is only a matter of time now......
At this moment, the island of Hong Kong was already in chaos, and the members of the Yellow Flag Gang fled everywhere, either hiding in the mountains, or rushing to the coast, escaping by water, after all, Thunder's forces were limited, and it was impossible to block all the beaches. There were gunshots in every direction, with the thumping of the balls and the thumping of birds.
The three forces of Thunder have already converged, forming a mighty momentum, like an unstoppable torrent, destroying all enemies in front of them. The wingspan of the procession stretches from north to south to the coast of the north and south, and is several hundred meters long in front and behind. Like a giant bulldozer, the whole team kept moving forward, crushing, and sweeping towards Victoria Peak, aiming at the southwest of Hong Kong Island, aiming to eliminate the Yellow Flag gang that was still resisting.
On the coast of Hong Kong Island near Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, in the dark, there were many people, and several people pushed a small boat into the sea in a panic, led by Wu Zhiqing, the leader of the Yellow Flag Gang. As soon as they entered the boat, the others were rowing their oars, and one of them asked, "Gang leader, can we really reach Kowloon, the sphere of influence of the Blue Flag Gang?" ”
At this time, Wu Zhiqing was very embarrassed, dressed as a little minion, and because of the dark night, he couldn't see the disdain of other people. Although these accompanying absconders did not participate in the initial operation and snipe the Thunder attack, they also heard more or less rumors, especially the rumors of the gang members who survived the battlefield, and their gang leader actually left his brother and fled alone.
Wu Zhiqing did not hesitate, seemed to have some kind of self-confidence, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, as long as our ships go all the way to the west, we can reach Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, with the relationship between the offensive and defensive alliances, the Blue Flag Gang will definitely take us in, take people back to Hong Kong Island, and recapture everything that belongs to us." ”
However, others don't think so, anyone who can survive in the pirate industry knows something, even if they are not human spirits.
Therefore, no one believed what Wu Zhiqing said, in their hearts, there was such a big movement on Hong Kong Island, and the Blue Flag Gang should have discovered the situation a long time ago, even if it was too late to act, to support the Yellow Flag Gang, the coast close to Hong Kong Island must be vigilant, and artillery and other firearms have entered the attack state. If a suspicious vessel approaches, they will not hesitate to shell it for safety.
Therefore, as soon as the small boat was off the shore, and it had not rowed far, the little minions on the boat glanced at each other tacitly, nodded slightly at an imperceptible angle, and then instantly attacked, and immediately several people rushed to Wu Zhiqing nearby, firmly controlling it, and the rest of the people were still rowing their oars and returning to Hong Kong Island.
"You dogs, if you treat me like this, you won't end well, and you won't die well......"
Wu Zhiqing was constantly fluttering and struggling, and as soon as he shouted out and continued to scold, he was gagged by one of them with something, tied up, and thrown on the edge of the boat, and the two of them watched and guarded.
The stars in the sky became sparse, and there were few of them, still looming. The moon has escaped the cover of dark clouds, but it is the moon that sets in the western mountains and slowly sinks, everything indicates that the dawn is coming.
There are no large-scale battles on Hong Kong Island, only a few scattered gunshots, and some stubborn elements of the Yellow Flag Gang are struggling powerlessly.
The lair of the Yellow Flag Gang, the fairly good stockade, was occupied by Thunder, and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere, cruising around without the slightest tiredness, still responsible for the duty of vigilance and cleanup.
In the hall, Wu Zhiqing's usual sitting position was occupied by Qi Zhiyuan, sitting there calmly, and Zhuge Mou and some battalion company commanders of the operation stood below, Shi Mingzhi was still staying on the warship, cruising at the intersection of the Lantang Strait and Victoria Harbor.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, Qi Zhiyuan didn't seem to hear the gunshots outside, the sound of fighting, and sat there calmly, very calm, showing the composure of the supreme commander to the extreme, without the slightest sense of nervousness and eagerness.
After a while, Qi Zhiyuan said: "Mr. Zhuge , are the batteries and ports along the coast of Hong Kong Island under our control?" Are there any other factors of instability? ”
It seems to be smoked, Zhuge Mou's body is full of gray stains, dirty, and he is not exempt from the burden of arson, his eyebrows and hair are also scorched by the flames, a little bald, looking a little embarrassed, and the elegant wind has been destroyed, like a scholar in distress.
In the face of Qi Zhiyuan's inquiry, Zhuge Mou did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "Regiment commander, all the strategic points on Hong Kong Island are in our hands, and there are soldiers responsible for guarding them. At present, there are no unstable factors, and only a few sporadic elements are still resisting and making their last struggles. ”
Hearing this, Qi Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, as if he had thought of something, and after changing the topic, he suddenly asked, "By the way, did Wu Zhiqing, the leader of the Yellow Flag Gang, catch it?" (To be continued.) )
