"A bunch of waste, even the small town of Minle can't hold it. And also the loss of five tanks, what a shame. ”

The Governor's residence, a roar could be heard from the living room.

The commander of the British army, Adams, was holding a cigarette in his right hand and was scolding. There was a look of hatred on his face, and he said in a cold voice: "Lieutenant General James has gone through all kinds of wars, has rich experience, and has combat ability, but he really shouldn't have made such a mistake. Moreover, with the cooperation of tanks, it still failed. Alas, I really don't know whether to call the enemy fierce or to say that my own people are stupid. ”

The commander of the French army, Raywell, said: "James is weak in command, and I propose to remove him." ”

Adams raised his eyebrows, his eyes rolled, and an unhappy look immediately appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "To remove James from his position, that is also a British matter, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

He can curse, but Spicwell doesn't have the right to say James.

"Report!"

A soldier ran in and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the troops surrounding Jardine's Hill are all in place. At present, all Chinese troops are under encirclement. ”

"Good!"

Ma Hui's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said with a smile: "The plan is finally completed." ”

Gobard glanced at Adams and Spice, and said lightly: "James's matter has happened, and it won't help to hold him accountable." The main task now is to close the net, constantly narrow the scope, and completely take down the army led by Qi Zhenhai. I suggest that the commanders of various countries form a command and personally go to the front line to command and annihilate the Chinese army. This battle is of paramount importance, and the Chinese army must not be allowed to break through. ”

Rankfort looked serious, nodded and said: "Your Excellency Gobard is reasonable, this battle cannot be lost, and the Chinese army cannot be allowed to break through. If we win, we will achieve phased success, and with the capital to negotiate with Li Zhen, we can even continue to advance northward. But if we fail, we will probably no longer have a foothold on Hong Kong Island, and even the British, French, and American soldiers who have been captured by China will be difficult to rescue. ”

"Please give your all, Mr. Commander, and give everything for this battle."

Rankfort looked sincere, and there was excitement in his eyes.

Rawell carefully considered it and said, "I am willing to go to the front line to command!" ”

Adams replied, "I do!" ”

After thinking about it, the American commander also nodded in agreement. Some of the rest of the commanders didn't want to take the risk themselves, but the three main ones had already nodded their heads, and they had to agree to it. The commanders of the countries agreed and soon rushed to the front with their troops, as well as a large number of soldiers and tanks, to take over the command of the battle.

……

Minle Town, outside the city.

Qi Zhenhai's army gathered here for a short rest.

The command post, Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng, as well as the three brigade commanders under Qi Zhenhai, all gathered here. The general arrangement for the next step, Qi Zhenhai has already ordered it, but the candidate for the breakthrough has not been determined. The commander of the first brigade fluctuated greatly and said, "Division commander, leave the breakthrough to the first brigade this time." The last time we attacked Minle Town, we let the generals of various countries slip away, and this time we broke through the defense line and rushed to the Governor's Palace, and our brigade will definitely complete the task and capture all the foreign generals. ”

The commander of the second brigade objected: "Division commander, even if the order of one, two, and three is adopted, our brothers from the second brigade should play." The elders of the first brigade are fighting in the front, which is not good. ”

The commander of the third brigade smiled slightly and said calmly: "The old man should be the most favored in the family, but my old man can't get anything." The commander of the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade will give our brothers in the 3rd Brigade a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

Three brigade commanders, with high morale.

The three of them did not take the matter of the army being surrounded, thinking that they could definitely get rid of it.

Qi Zhenhai said: "This time, the second brigade commander will lead the troops to be responsible for the breakthrough. ”

"Thank you, Commander!"

The commander of the 2nd Brigade was extremely excited, and his face was full of smiles.

Qi Zhenhai saw that the first brigade commander had a sad face and a bitter and bitter look, and comforted: "First brigade commander, I know that you are eager for revenge, but after the first battle of Minle Town, many soldiers of the first brigade were injured and must take a short rest. Don't be in a hurry, there will be a chance for revenge. After a pause, Qi Zhenhai looked at the third brigade commander again, and said with a smile: "Third brigade commander, the highlight of the future is that your kid is going to fight, if you drop the chain at that time, Lao Tzu will remove you." ”

"Please rest assured that the third brigade will ensure the completion of the task."

The third brigade commander raised his hand and saluted, and smiled.

The commander of the second brigade immediately went to mobilize the soldiers and went to the defense line built by the generals of various countries.

Shek Ho Village, located in the southwest of Minle Town, is the only way to the Governor's Palace of Hong Kong. In this place, a large number of British soldiers have gathered. Prior to this, Adams, Rawell and other commanders arrived, took back the power from James's hands, and then began to divide the division of labor, dividing the area around Jardine's Hill into several areas, each of which was garrisoned by soldiers from one country.

The British army, led by Adams and James, happened to be stationed at the junction of Stone River Village.

Fortifications are laid across the road.

One cannon after another, all in place.

Huge tanks, parked behind, ready to support at any time.

Adams' strategy was simple, he didn't need British soldiers to attack, he just needed to hold his position. As long as they hold the defensive line, the armies of the countries surrounding Jardine's Mountain will naturally continue to compress the living space of the Qizhen Navy. As time passed, the army under Qi Zhenhai ran out of food and weapons, so it was easier to defeat.

"Report!"

A scout came to the command post and reported: "Your Excellency, Qi Zhenhai's army is rushing towards us. ”

"Good!"

Adams decisively ordered: "Order the soldiers to prepare and block the advance of the Chinese army." ”

"Yes!"

The scouts went to deliver the order, and in a short time, the positions ahead began to exchange fire. At the same time, a cannon was also fired. Powerful firepower poured out, creating a forest of death, so that the attack of the second brigade commander was strongly blocked.

In this battle, both sides did their best.

Adams and James have different approaches to setting up their defenses, with Adams taking a step-by-step approach. There are three checkpoints set up on a road, the first checkpoint is to deploy troops on both sides of the road to block the attack, as long as the soldiers enter this checkpoint, they will be immediately attacked by fire from both sides; The second checkpoint is to set up a defensive line on the road to block the approaching army head-on; The third line of defense is a line of defense composed of tanks and soldiers, using the power of tanks to crush the opponent.

The three lines of defense are constantly weakening the strength of Chinese soldiers.

Moreover, the three lines of defense are related.

The artillery of the third line of defense can support the soldiers of the first line of defense, which is equivalent to the strength of the first line of defense supported by the power of artillery. Tanks and artillery were placed in the last line of defense, far enough away from the Chinese artillery that shells could fall on the first line of defense, but not on the third. The second line of defense can support the first line of defense and protect the stability of the first line of defense.

As a result, Adams' defensive line was as solid as Mount Tai.

Adams watched the situation develop and found that the Chinese army was being stopped, and a smile appeared on his face.
