Chapter 337: Landing
At night, the clouds are thick, the moon hides in the dark night, the sky is only the stars are twinkling, the night is extraordinarily dark, but it is so quiet, giving people a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info in the East Strait in the southeast of Hong Kong Island, the sea surface is so calm, there is no such wind and waves as before, and the waves are constantly turbulent.
In the darkness of the night, small and medium-sized warships moved slowly, hidden in the night, and the sound of paddling and the sound of steady waves were intertwined, and it was impossible to distinguish each other. In the direction of the bow of the ship, on the deck of the pilot warship, there was a burst of conversation.
"Are you sure you're going to take us to that island?"
"Battalion commander, don't worry, I have been in the Qingqi Gang for five years, I am extremely familiar with the East Boliao Strait, and I once served as the coastal defense in the northwest of Lamma Island.
"Battalion commander, look, along the direction of Qixing, a little bit away, it is the uninhabited island southeast of Huangzhukeng."
"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved. As long as the task can be completed, I will report to Mr. Zhuge that the first merit of this operation is yours, promote your officer, and let you be the platoon commander of a platoon! ”
Meanwhile, far off the coast northwest of North Point Village, rows of boats and rafts float on the surface of the sea and stop there. In the center, on a small boat, Zhuge Mou was dressed in thick clothes, shrunk his body, and from time to time with the help of a faint light, looking at the watch, which was exactly what Yang Lin bought from Westerners, all of which were Swiss watches and handmade products.
The Thunder Soldiers on the boat were waiting, waiting for the time to pass slowly, for the time to act. I don't know when, when Zhuge Mou looked at his watch again, the moment the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock, he immediately ordered the people around him: "Notify the boat in front of you to act immediately, row the boat, and sail in the direction of Nanfu on Hong Kong Island, and the rafts and boats in the other three directions are following closely and maintaining the formation." ”
With Zhuge Mou's order, it was not long before the rafts and boats in the far northwest direction moved and drove fast to Nam Fu Beach on Hong Kong Island. The boats in the rear also moved, maintaining maximum speed, and the personnel constantly took turns paddling.
In the northern waters of Hong Kong Island, medium and large warships are sailing, shuttling through the waters between Wong Ma Kok and Lo Chau, or going deep into Tai Tam Wan and heading straight for Repulse Bay; Or take a detour to Hok Tsui Bay and cruise in the northeastern waters of Hong Kong Island. They are all waiting for the signal to appear and carry out landing operations.
At this time, the island of Hong Kong was silent, shrouded in darkness, with only sporadic fires in the center, and the torches in the hands of the patrol officers in the stockade of the Yellow Flag Gang, as well as the light from the braziers.
Of course, there is such a light in the periphery and along the coast of Hong Kong Island. However, they were all moving, wandering, like ghost fires in the night, not out of nowhere, but the light of torches in the hands of those pirate minions who patrolled the coast.
From these scenes, it is not difficult to see that the Yellow Flag Gang has not yet realized the danger is coming, and still does not know about the change of power on Lamma Island, and most of them are still immersed in sleep.
However, judging from these patrols, the vigilance of the Yellow Flag Gang is much stronger than that of the Black Flag Gang. At the very least, the patrol officers did not show laziness, perhaps because the Yellow Flag Gang had learned a lesson, knowing that a large part of the reason for the destruction of the Black Flag Gang was that their vigilance was too lax and they did not discover the Guangzhou Navy Division at the first time.
The wind was blowing, the time was passing minute by minute, and the dark clouds were still covering the moon, making the night always so dark, and people's vision could only see a meter or two nearby, which was still very blurry.
I don't know when, a black shadow appeared in the offshore sea along the coast of Huafu, constantly surging, swimming towards the beach, with a large burden floating on his chest, and the interlayer was sealed and covered with oiled paper to block the penetration of seawater.
Gradually, the head of the person got closer and closer to the beach, less than ten meters from the shore. Immediately, one by one, figures slowly emerged, stood up, hunched their backs, bent their waists, paused for a moment, gently tore open the oiled paper, opened the baggage, and took out the bird guns and bullets inside.
Then, ignoring the wet clothes, these people took advantage of the night, holding the beaded guns in both hands, and slowly walked to the shore, trying to minimize the sound of the water driven by their bodies, and the people behind followed closely as usual. Because, on the coast, two teams of patrolmen of the Yellow Flag Gang are approaching, walking in the opposite direction.
The moment the two patrolmen staggered away, and gradually moved away, the figures immediately quickened their pace and went straight to the shore to find the nearest battery, and from time to time someone left, hiding in the weeds, lying in ambush, letting the cold wind blow their soaked clothes.
Da Da...
Bang bang...
A series of gunshots rang out suddenly, in two different places, and the sparks produced when the bullet was discharged were so obvious, dazzling, and noticeable that they could be clearly seen and distinguished from miles away.
A moment later, red Hung Ming lanterns floated in the sky, coming from the direction of Repulse Bay, Ap Lei Chau, and Lamma Island on Hong Kong Island, all of which indicated that a large-scale landing of Thunder was about to begin, and the battle would cover the southeast, east, and northeast directions of Hong Kong Island.
In an instant, whether it was the rafts and boats of Zhuge Mou in Yaleizhou, or the headquarters of Shi Mingzhi in Tai Tam Bay and Xiaoxi Bay, they were all in full firepower, and the warships frantically rushed to the nearby shore and beach to carry out a beach-grabbing landing.
When the gunshots rang out, it meant that the two batteries near Huafu were captured by the Thunder advance troops, making Zhuge Mou's landing extremely smooth, and he could send troops on a large scale without having to swim across the river again. There is also Huangzhukeng, which is also controlled by the soldiers of Thunder and is in his hands.
Soon after, in the southeast, east, and northeast directions of Hong Kong Island, Thunder formed three combat forces. Like three sharp swords, the three combat forces stabbed straight into the hinterland of Hong Kong Island from three directions, aiming directly at the lair of the Yellow Flag Gang, like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, clearing the resistance pirates along the way.
Every Thunder Soldier was like a stimulant, his excited eyes flashed, he kept running, his movements became more and more neat, as long as he saw the people of the Yellow Flag Gang, it was a burst of shooting. Even the remnants of the Blue Banner Gang, who had just been recruited, screamed excitedly, as if they had turned into devils, constantly pulling the trigger and venting the bullets in their hands.
At this time, the eastern part of Hong Kong Island was no longer calm, there were sounds of fighting everywhere, the sound of gunfire was heard everywhere, and the soldiers of thunder no longer accepted prisoners, and when they saw the enemy, they were like a shuttle. Because, there is not much time left for them, there is not so much effort to distinguish whether the other party is surrendering or not, and they must gain control of Hong Kong Island before dawn.
Therefore, for Thunder at this time, everything is not as crisp and happy as slaughter, and everything can be solved at once.
The Thunder soldiers who landed first continued to advance, forming a crushing momentum, and the personnel in the rear continued to land, outflanking from the north and south along the shore, and at the same time shouldering an important task of seizing the batteries along the coast and firmly holding them in their hands.
From the moment of the action, when the first gunshot rang out, it means that Thunder's actions tonight can no longer be kept secret, and the Red Flag Gang and Blue Flag Gang in the New Territories and Kowloon Peninsula, which are closest to Hong Kong Island, will definitely be aware of the sudden change on Hong Kong Island.
Therefore, the second priority after the elimination of the Yellow Flag Gang, Thunder is to seize the batteries along the coast. Once these cannons are mastered, they will not be afraid of the attacks of the two major pirate forces, and they will suddenly intervene in the affairs of Hong Kong Island, and they can calmly deal with the enemies of all sides.
