The vast city of London, with a population of more than 3 million, has less than 50,000 British troops, including the British royal army, as well as the gendarmes and police of the London borough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It can be seen from this that the troops of the British Empire were indeed transferred to the French battlefield, and the entire British Empire's top brass did not expect that the Chinese Empire would suddenly send troops to Britain itself when the European war was unclear.

Now that the Chinese Imperial Shence Army has come to the city, there are three towns in the forward force alone, with a total strength of 75,000 troops, and there are still 150,000 troops in the Suez Canal Zone.

The situation facing the British Empire was not optimistic, and not a single British military official, including Prime Minister Ross, believed that the capture of London by the Chinese Empire could be prevented, and even some pessimists directly called for surrender to the Chinese Empire in order to ensure that the major cities of the British Empire were not ravaged.

If this kind of thinking is placed in the Chinese Empire, it will definitely be scolded as a traitor and traitor, but in the British Empire, which has a different way of thinking, there is a very large market.

For survival, the British and even the entire Western world are desperate for their lives, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with the word surrender, and surrender if they can't fight, which is almost the value of the entire Westerner.

As a result, before the Chinese Imperial Shence Army entered the city of London, a considerable number of high-ranking officials of the British Empire called for surrender.

Ross was angry and wanted to vomit blood, in the face of those weak elements, he wanted to kick them away, but unfortunately his strength is now greatly reduced, in order to help France against Germany, Ross had to send his descendants to the French battlefield, that descendant troops are the bargaining chips that Ross is ready to follow Grant's dictatorship over the British Empire. Now that the troops are not in the country, Ross has to convince his opponents.

"Gentlemen, the enemy has already reached the doorstep, can you be brave, how can you be sure that we can't hold London yet? Even if you want to surrender, please at least fight a war, let the Chinese Empire know that we are not easy to bully, so that even if we surrender, we will not be looked down upon by others, and it will be beneficial to negotiations! ”

Rose had a pleading expression on his face, and he looked so low that he wanted to vomit.

However, his goal was achieved, and those parliamentarians who planned to surrender exchanged words one after another, thinking that there was some truth in Ross's words, and if he surrendered if he did not fight, then the treatment would definitely not be good, and if he fought a war, played the prestige of the British, and made the Chinese Empire dare not underestimate it, then the negotiations might be more favorable.

This group of capitulators wanted to surrender so easily that they were fooled by Ross.

Without internal resistance, the British army would have organized the Battle of London much more smoothly.

However, although Ross is the main battle, he is not a fool, with the current 50,000 miscellaneous troops in London, facing the elite of the Chinese Empire in the Three Towns, there is no possibility of victory at all.

All Ross did was stall for time. He needed at least three days to arrange the relocation of the capital and the great evacuation, but even three days was too short, and Ross could only hope that the Chinese Imperial Army would not fight too hard and give him more time.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Rose didn't know that the vanguard officer of the Chinese Imperial Divine Army opposite him was Yuan Shikai, for Yuan Shikai, he wanted to capture London as quickly as possible, and he even wanted to capture Rose alive, so he would never give Rose enough time to retreat.

At this moment, the Chinese Imperial Army of two towns had landed on the north and south banks of the Thames River and marched all the way to London.

Li Weijun commanded the main force of the Pacific Fleet to swim up the Thames, and along the way, the ship's guns roared, destroying one British position after another along the coast.

Grace, on the north bank of the Thames, is an important town along the Thames, defended by a brigade of British troops.

This British army received orders from their superiors to hold their positions and stop the advance of the Chinese Imperial Army.

On the battleship Fury, Li Weijun looked at the banks of the Thames through his binoculars and smiled.

He was at ease, and at the present pace of the march he would be able to enter London in a few hours.

"Yuan Kai, you're about to enter the city of London, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Kai thought for a moment and replied, "I plan to act overnight and strive to take Downing Street and Buckingham Palace before dawn!" ”

Li Weijun was surprised: "The night battle is not good for the attacking side, our army is not familiar with the terrain of London, the British army should have mobilized heavy troops to do a good defense, I am afraid that the loss of rash attack is great, it is better to wait until dawn, my fleet and air force can provide you with cover." ”

Yuan Shikai said: "General, as the saying goes, soldiers are fast and fast!" Our raid on London coincided with the fact that the British army had moved its main forces to France and the domestic army was empty. You must know that London has a population of several million, and if the British army is given one more night, they may have armed more troops. Although for our Divine Army, no matter how many troops the British army makes, it is a dish, but isn't that a waste of our bullets? ”

Hearing the waste of bullets, Li Weijun was also drunk, and said with a smile: "Okay, I handed over the vanguard officer to you, and everything is up to you." The sooner we take London, the better it will be for us! ”

Yuan Shikai said: "Yes! Please rest assured, the general, and strive to take London as soon as possible! ”

Seeing Yuan Shikai's confident expression, Li Weijun was also much more relaxed.

He called the adjutant and asked, "Where are the sixth and ninth towns?" ”

The adjutant replied, "Report to the Commander, half an hour ago the Sixth Town reported that they had reached Elis, and the Ninth Town had reached Grace. ”

Li Weijun looked at the map and was very satisfied with the speed of the attack of the Sixth Town, but when he saw that the Ninth Town was more than 20 kilometers behind, his face immediately darkened.

"How is Ninth Town so far behind? Didn't they have enough to eat? ”

The adjutant immediately explained: "Report to the Commander, that the Ninth Town is facing stubborn resistance from about a brigade of British troops at Grace. ”

Li Weijun suddenly frowned and scolded: "The whole world knows that the British Army is weak, and even an eighty-year-old lady can't beat it, the Ninth Town must break through Grace within half an hour, and it must reach Renham within two hours, otherwise I will send a women's pennant to the Ninth Town for encouragement!" ”

Burst!

A group of people around him burst into laughter instantly, but when they saw Li Weijun being very serious, they were immediately silenced, and secretly sweated for the ninth town.

Yuan Shikai said suddenly: "General, the Ninth Town is a rare elite unit in the Marine Corps, they are blocked in Grace's attack, compared to Grace's British army is indeed difficult to entangle, it is better to transfer a fleet to reinforcements." ”

Li Weijun glanced at Yuan Shikai sharply, as if he had penetrated Yuan Shikai's inner world in an instant, and guessed that Yuan Shikai had made a small calculation.

Yuan Shikai was also in a cold sweat in an instant, secretly scolding himself for being too greedy, so obviously currying favor with the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Town must have aroused Li Weijun's dissatisfaction.

You must know that Yuan Shikai belongs to the first line of the army, and the ninth town belongs to the Marine Corps and belongs to the first department of the navy. Although the Chinese Imperial Military is now jointly squeezing the air force by the navy and army, the navy and army themselves are dissatisfied with each other and squeezed each other, and Yuan Shikai's behavior of currying favor with the Ninth Town is tantamount to violating Li Weijun's rebellion.

In layman's terms, your hand is too long, be careful of the kitchen knife!

"I'm just talking casually, everything is arranged by the general!"

Yuan Shikai hurriedly remedied.

Li Weijun just smiled slightly and said, "Your proposal is very good!" Pass my order to transfer the 1st Battlecruiser Formation back to reinforce the 9th Town. This group of waste, a town of people and horses can not defeat a brigade of the British army, it is really embarrassing. It's still your army strong, you Yuan Kai can capture the Port Said fortress, which is known as the gateway to Europe, in one place, and the thirty-three towns on the second line can really give your army a long face! In comparison, our navy is really weak! ”

Burst!

Yuan Shikai was stunned, what does this mean!

Is this what is called killing?

Don't! If you are held too high, you will be thrown too badly!

Yuan Shikai hurriedly said modestly: "The general has passed the award, and the humble position is just a fluke to capture Port Said!" The feat of your ministry in the bloody battle against Guam back then has made you revered by your humble position to this day! ”

Li Weijun and Yuan Shikai, two old foxes, praised each other, tested each other, and talked to each other, so there is no need to elaborate.

Speaking of Grace alone, the Ninth Town of the Marine Corps has indeed encountered a hard stubble, and they are opposite the 15th Brigade of the British Army, known as the elite of the British Army, which belongs to the British Royal Family Protection Corps, which is equivalent to the Royal Guards of the Chinese Empire.

After research, Ross and Cook pulled down the 15th Brigade to Grace, so that the 15th Brigade could set an example and call on the entire army and people of London to resist and fight a vigorous battle to defend London.

The 15th Brigade of the British Army was not transferred to the European theater because they had always been the escort of the British royal family and were the most well-equipped, so they dared to fight the Chinese Imperial Army.

Grace was only a small town, but the 15th Brigade of the British Army had built fortifications in the shortest possible time, deployed minefields, obstacle areas, blown up bridges and roads, and did almost all the ways that could delay the advance of the Imperial Chinese Army, which showed that its area was an elite force.

Zhou Shu, the commander of the ninth town, was so angry that he scolded his mother, as a major general officer in the Imperial Chinese Marine Corps, it was the first time he had encountered such a difficult bone to gnaw.

The more anxious they were to break through the British lines, the more they fell into the quagmire of a protracted tug-of-war.

"Report, the base camp of the fleet has ordered that your department must get through Grace within half an hour, rush to Renham within two hours, and cut off the retreat route of the British, without mistake. If it is not completed, the commander-in-chief will send us a pennant of girls as a sign of encouragement! ”

As soon as he heard the words of encouragement from the women's pennant, Zhou Shuren's face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily: "Did you hear the damn thing?" If you can't take Grace in half an hour, we will have to carry a girl pennant when we go out in the ninth town in the future! ”

"Commander, we're not girls!"

"Division commander, if we rush again, I won't believe it, when did the British devil become so strong!"

"Division commander, our regiment is in the lead, even if the British devils eat viagra, I will smash them to the bone!"

Zhou Shuren nodded and said, "Okay, it seems that you don't want to be girls!" ”

At this time, Chief of Staff Hu Shi suddenly said: "Division commander, I'm afraid our tactics have been thoroughly eaten by the British army on the opposite side, if we don't change our tactics, no matter how we rush, we will fail!" ”

Zhou Shuren suddenly complained: "Made, the tried and tested tactics didn't work, which made me suddenly change tactics, and I was really a little uncomfortable!" ”

The Chinese Imperial Shence Army has always been famous for its victorious army, and for so many years, the common tactics of the Shence Army are almost no longer a secret, and the military of all countries in the world are studying it in depth.

As the most elite 15th Brigade of the British Empire, it naturally knew the tactics of the Shence Army well, so Zhou Shuren's tactics of cannon bombardment and then infantry charge at the beginning failed.

Hu Shi said: "Since the British army knows that our tactic is to bombard the artillery and then the infantry charge, then we will continue to bombard, but the infantry will no longer keep charging, but will lie down when they rush halfway, and the artillery will continue to bombard the British position." ”

Zhou Shuren's eyes lit up and he excitedly said, "Good idea!" Every time we shelled, the British hid in the anti-artillery holes in advance, and when our shelling stopped, they secretly entered the position to block the attack of our infantry. This time, I'm going to see if they still have time to run back to the gun hole? ”

Soon, the Ninth Town reorganized a round of shelling.

When the cannon sounded, the British troops on the opposite side really disappeared and hid in the anti-artillery holes.

When Colonel Michael, the commander of the 15th Brigade of the British Army, saw it, he couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph, the tactics that have not changed for 10,000 years, I really don't understand how you became the strongest army in the world!" ”

Michael is 10,000 dissatisfied with the Chinese Imperial Divine Army, and has always wanted to compete head-on, and now his dream has finally come true.

In his opinion, the tactics of the Chinese Imperial Army, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, are not at all justified, and there is no problem for him to hold on for three days, even if he holds on for three years.

"Enemy artillery fire is beginning to stretch!"

"The enemy is about to attack, quickly enter the position!"

But this time, Michael misjudged him, and Zhou Shuren, the commander of the Ninth Town, underestimated Michael before, and now Michael also underestimated Zhou Shuren.

When the British troops came out of the anti-artillery holes and entered their positions, the artillery fire of the Chinese Imperial Army returned.

Boom!

Boom!

The firepower of the artillery regiment directly under the Ninth Town fell on the British positions, and the British troops were suddenly blown up all over the sky, suffering heavy casualties.

"Fack! Withdraw quickly! ”

Michael, knowing that he had been fooled, hurriedly ordered the British to withdraw from their positions and hide back in the artillery holes.

But at this time, the infantry of the Chinese Empire began to charge.

Michael was helpless and hurriedly ordered the British troops to return to their positions.

As a result, after the Chinese Imperial Army rushed for a distance, they quickly all fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the shells of the Chinese Imperial Army fell on the British positions again, and the British soldiers who had just entered the positions to prepare for the battle were blown up again.

"Three Aufbes! (Raised by the table)"

Michael was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he knew that he had been tricked by the Chinese Imperial Army. (To be continued.) )
