Chapter 466: The aftermath of the Great War

The entire Battle of Guangzhou finally came to an end,

A big battle, with the careful thinking of the British ** team, to the twists and turns of the whole process, and the final one-sided result, it can be said that the excitement of this battle is no weaker than any legend.

The expeditionary corps of the British ** team, more than 80,000 army troops, was so shamelessly and sadly wiped out, 80,000 army troops,

The news reached General Barry, he was still commanding the fleet to block the Pearl River port, the panicked gunboats brought the news, of course the general did not believe it, he immediately ordered all the light cruisers to go to the mouth of the Pearl River, and even desperately, ordered the heavy cruisers to also go on, the mighty dozens of warships, approaching the mouth of the inland river, but, in the afternoon, more than ten miles south of the steaming Guangzhou city, there was chaos, a large number of squadrons, was leisurely cleaning the battlefield, The boundless red carpet is the dead British ** team, either corpses, or blood.

The officers and men of the British naval fleet were all stunned, and when they could not bear it anymore, they vented their indignation on the battlefield's shells, and bombarded it into a smoke-filled place.

Many British officers and soldiers were full of tears, some even lost their voices in pain, and some knelt down and prayed to God, hoping that the souls of the war dead could ascend to heaven.

The hysterical style of the British fleet did not cause the disgust of the squadron, but made everyone feel very good, watching others get angry, if you are a little rational, it is strange if you are unhappy, see the British bombardment, the ** slightly, and then, the battlefield was cleaned up outside the clouds, and some officers and soldiers were sent to the river bank to snipe the enemy,

Crying, lyrical, bang, bang, Nima, a small chrysanthemum exploded on the faces of several British soldiers, blood-colored chrysanthemums, and people fell headlong,

The squadron took advantage of the bushes and complex terrain to snipe with powerful rifles, causing dozens of officers and soldiers on the deck of the British army, and the British battleships that suffered a secret loss were bombarded again, but unfortunately, they no longer dared to go ashore, just waited quietly,

Soon, the angry Chinese officers and soldiers tied up the hundreds of British wounded soldiers who had been captured, tied them up, escorted them to the vicinity, formed a human shield, and then shouted at the enemy fleet in the river.

This is a very cute approach, anyway, the Chinese officers and soldiers in the absence of strong artillery, there is absolutely a way to make the enemy unhappy,

The British fleet did not quietly retreat until the evening, knowing that it would never be possible to wait for the land forces that had landed north.

That night, the British fleet retreated beyond the bay of the Piercing Ocean, and the next morning, a dull gunfire on the British flagship, startled everyone, and the extremely depressed British commander, Vice Admiral Barry, committed suicide.

Barry's suicide, announcing the defeat of the British Expeditionary Corps,

I have to explain a problem, there are more than 3,000 British troops, it is the second wave of troops, the original intention is to contain the troops on the west bank of the river, covering the safety of the flanks, I don't want to, they are far away from the city of Guangzhou, but unfortunately, they have not escaped the fate of history, they were hit by the hidden retreat near the Dajiao Fort, a good beating, with the advantage of weapons, more than 500 enemies were knocked down from afar, and then bombarded with small mortars, and killed thousands of people, and then chased after them, and chased the remnants of the defeated army to the bay. Under the watchful eye of the fleet, those guys were shot and killed, poor British ** team, there was no return,

At the end of the Battle of Guangzhou, with the sacrifice of 4,400 people, the wounding of more than 890 people, and the casualties of more than 2,000 people, in exchange for the victory of annihilating the enemy of 80,000, this resistance battle ended.

Luo Yang began to sort out the affairs of the entire Guangdong Military Region, including the reorganization of those units that refused to reinforce them, and the severe punishment of all officers for the crime of opposing the country and betraying the country for glory, which means the death penalty, and also summing up and commending the troops and personnel who had made great meritorious contributions in the battle, and summing up the entire battle, no matter how big or small, and disseminating the typical examples of them throughout the country, and of course, the places involving military secrets were still kept secret.

In the Battle of Guangzhou, the gains of the squadron were huge, capturing 80,000 rifles, 2 million rounds of ammunition, a large amount of gunpowder, many sabers, annihilating 18 general-level officers of the enemy, 91 colonel-level officers, and more, and also captured 187 army mountain guns and a number of shells for the British army.

Since then, the troops of China's Guangdong Military Region have established a prestige throughout the country, and even in the world, they have won praise.

If the squadron attacks from behind with a strong navy, perhaps, the annihilated fleet also includes the British fleet, but the Chinese fleet is still in training, and we cannot guarantee its combat effectiveness.

Defend passively, fight actively, this is the principle,

The campaign also highlighted a major problem, the squadron lacked artillery that could effectively deal with the enemy's fleet heavy artillery, the squadron in the process of development, attached importance to the development of short, flat and fast, artillery are of the type of mortar, that is, other types of armor-piercing guns, howitzers, mostly imitate the Western army, there is no advantage, such artillery, when carrying, extremely inconvenient, all, whether it can make portable and convenient heavy artillery, is the future direction of development,

In any case, the Battle of Canton was a brilliant victory,

The news spread all over the world, causing an uproar, and the whole world was boiling, and everyone was talking about it.

France is the most powerful army country in the world, and it is also the most concerned about the military movements of China and Britain, and it is unbelievable that 80,000 British troops were wiped out in one day, and of course, other countries in the world are even more unbelievable.

Uproar, uproar,

Dumbfounded, dizzy,

Speechless,

This has long been the reaction of countries around the world, international audio-visual, many people have been asking China's diplomatic department, hoping to confirm that they suspect that this is a forged battle.

Under the repeated verification of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the world, especially Western countries, believed it,

"It's terrible, overnight, China has been comprehensively upgraded from a country with cunning special forces to a country with the second largest army."

"It's incredible that the British army was so strong that it was defeated in Guangzhou."

When the news reached the UK, the sensation was even greater,

It was only after a long time of idiocy that the domestic reaction of Britain was naturally a sadness,

The Queen of England announced that in order to mourn the dead in the war, in Britain, mourning for three days, the ordinary people in Britain were also crying, and then there was another scolding, crying for their relatives, scolding the government and generals,

Britain's Admiralty and War Secretary announced their resignations at the same time, and Prime Minister Disraeil was also hospitalized with a heart attack.

Despite the fact that General Barry was dead, the newly formed cabinet angrily declared Barry a national sinner, stripped of all military honors, and sentenced to 180 years in prison,
