"Boom Boom ......"

Shells fell with a roar and exploded. The entire port of Apra was suddenly filled with artillery fire and thick smoke.

The British troops defending the port of Apra were suddenly stunned, and fled for their lives in all directions.

"What's going on?" A British officer ran out with his trousers in his hand, and he was very annoyed that he had just captured an indigenous woman from Aginia, and he was about to enjoy it after holding it for three months, but his cannon did not go off, but the outside went off first.

"Report sir, yes-it's the Chinese Imperial Fleet!" A signal soldier hurried over to report.

"What? The Chinese Imperial Fleet? How can it be? Aren't they in the mud? The officer's head was full of greetings, and he snatched the binoculars and looked in the direction of the harbor, which did not matter, and immediately startled him, and the original fire was instantly extinguished, replaced by fear.

I saw hundreds of warships gathered on the sea, countless ship guns roared, and cannonballs flew over like raindrops in the sky.

"Fack! Get out of the coastline and head inland! ”

"Inform General Dale that the main force of the Chinese Imperial Fleet has arrived on Guam!"

As soon as the officer gave the order, a shell exploded not far from him, like an earthquake of magnitude 8, and the officer and the soldiers around him were instantly knocked to the ground, and the blast wave of the explosion swept over them with sand and buried them in the blink of an eye.

Puff puff!

After a few minutes, the officer finally crawled out of the thick dirt, spitting sand from his mouth.

Boom!

The shells continued to explode around, and the shock waves swept one after another, wave after wave, and the officer was swept by the air wave several times in a row, and after his face came into close contact with the ground several times, he was suddenly drenched in blood.

"Fack! Where's the north? ”

The officer didn't care about the pain at all, just his head bobbing. It's no longer clear what to tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

As with this officer, the rest of the British were either killed by shells or burned in the fire, screaming wolf. Then they were swept away by the blast wave of the explosion, and they scattered in all directions.

The defenders of Apra Harbor were not numerous, less than two thousand, and in less than ten minutes more than half were killed or wounded, and the rest either hid or fled far away.

Matt took the main forces of the British Navy with him, leaving Guam with only a dozen cruisers and frigates. At this time, the British ships were no longer in the harbor, but on the other side after cooperating with General Dale to command the British army to attack the side of the fortress on Guam, so the arrival of the Chinese Imperial Fleet was not discovered at the first time.

In the command post of the Guam fortress, Xie Guangzhi, Yang Ting, and others were discussing countermeasures. The departure of the main fleet of the British Navy could not hide from them, because the scale and intensity of the British attack had slowed down in recent days, and there was no strong naval artillery support, and it was not difficult to guess that the main force of the British fleet had left.

However, Xie Guangzhi and others did not relax their vigilance, and always held on to the fortress of Guam and fought stubbornly against the British army.

The Battle of Fort Guam has been going on for three months. Even the strongest army would feel tired, and the Seventh Marine Brigade in Xie Guangzhi's hands had less than 3,000 men left, including the original Guam Fortress Garrison and the Apra Harbor Guard, a total of 12,000 Guam troops. More than 9,000 casualties were inflicted, which shows the tragedy of the battle.

Of course, the British army did not bargain much, three months. The British army invested more than 200,000 troops before and after, and attacked the fortress of Guam in turn, killing and wounding more than 70,000 people. This was still with the support of British naval guns, otherwise the British casualties would have been even heavier.

By the time the Battle of Guam was fought, more than half of the fortifications of the fortress had been destroyed, and almost all of the surrounding small heights had been lost and occupied by the British. Food and water are running out in the fortress, weapons and ammunition are consumed the most, and they can last a day at most.

Just when Xie Guangzhi was worried and was about to mobilize all the officers and soldiers to die on Guam, the Chinese Imperial Fleet arrived.

Seeing the arrival of the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, Xie Guangzhi almost cried with joy.

This Nima had clearly said that he would only need to hold out for a week and the reinforcements would arrive, but the reinforcements came three months later, but he was pitted.

"Tell the brethren that when reinforcements arrived, they were all ready to counterattack!"

Needless to say, all the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army in the fortress bunker had already become excited, some were checking their guns again, and some were counting bullets.

"Hey, Haruko, where did you get so many bullets, didn't you say yesterday that there were only four rounds left?"

"I said Xiaoyangzi, you are really stupid when you say that you are stupid, bullets are life, can you not hide some private goods?"

"That's it, if you look at people's little Liuzi, there is a radium hidden in the crotch of his pants, and at the critical moment, he took it out and threw it into the enemy group, and he was instantly angry, not to mention ten British devils, even a hundred British devils were also smoked to death, haha!"

Ha ha!

Everyone burst into laughter, and the originally lifeless atmosphere suddenly came alive, because everyone saw the hope of living.

"Report, our friendly forces have landed in Apra Harbor!"

"Which unit is it?" Xie Guangzhi hurriedly asked.

"3rd Marine Brigade!"

"It's Han Lao Liu's troops!" Yang Ting said immediately.

"Damn, why is it Han Lao Liu's Third Marine Brigade? Lao Tzu doesn't need him to save him! Xie Guangzhi suddenly darkened his face and said angrily, but when he saw everyone's expressions, he suddenly smiled: "That's impossible to drop!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

However, Xie Guangzhi still muttered in a low voice: "Damn, Han Lao Liu, this bastard must have come to see Lao Tzu's jokes on purpose!" ”

"What are you afraid of, we have made a first-class merit!" Yang Ting suddenly smiled bitterly, but he knew that the grievances between Xie Guangzhi and Han Lao Liu were not a deep hatred, these two grew up together since childhood, and joined the Shanghai Army together to fight the world with Li Weiguo, but they have always competed in secret, and no one obeys anyone. If Xie Guangzhi made a third-class meritorious service today, Han Lao Liu would definitely make a great meritorious service tomorrow, and he must surpass Xie Guangzhi. The two are both marines in the battle sequence, and the competition is very fierce.

"That's it, Lao Tzu has already made a first-class merit, and I'm afraid that he will not succeed!" Xie Guangzhi's donkey face suddenly turned cloudy to clear.

Two hours later, the 3rd Marine Brigade, supported by naval gunfire, repelled several British counterattacks, seized the beachhead at Apra Harbor, and was consolidated, and soon a large number of heavy weapons came ashore. The 3rd Marine Brigade was full of confidence, and its artillery and heavy machine guns opened the way, killing the British troops, and by the evening, they had recaptured the Apra Naval Base.

General Dale, the commander of the 30,000 British troops in Guam, saw that the Apra Naval Base had changed hands, and he had no choice, after all, without the support of the British Navy, the British troops were sandwiched between the fortress of Guam and the Imperial Chinese Navy, and it was very good to be able to withstand the attack for five or six hours.

But. Dale, who was also a famous general in the British Army, learned the lesson of attacking Guam and planted radium everywhere on the island, causing the Imperial Chinese Army to slow down the attack, which bought Dale time to redeploy his forces and build defensive positions.

This is also something that can't be helped, this is how radium is used, from the day of the birth of radium, not only the Chinese Imperial Army will use radium, but now the British Army will also use it.

Before dawn the next day. Dale's forces withdrew to the east of Fort Guam, where they still controlled most of Guam. However, without the naval artillery fire support of the British Navy, it faced the powerful naval artillery fire of the Imperial Chinese Navy. Dale's troops had no choice but to abandon the coastline and shrink to the line of Aginia and Barrigada, build defensive positions, and lay a large number of ground radiums. Prepare for a protracted war with the Chinese Imperial Army.

Soon, Xie Guangzhi and Han Lao Liu met, and naturally they ridiculed each other.

Fortunately, Chen Shaoyi was present. The two were not too presumptuous.

"General Xie has made great contributions, holding Guam for three months and destroying more than 60,000 enemies, which is a miracle!"

"General Chen is polite, it's all thanks to His Majesty's blessings, the soldiers use their lives, and they don't dare to take credit for their humble duties!"

Hearing that Xie Guangzhi was humble, Han Lao Liu rolled his eyes fiercely.

Chen Shaoyi nodded approvingly, and quickly said: "This time I only sent you the strength of a marine brigade, but the supply is sufficient, enough to arm the troops of a town for half a year, I hope you will make persistent efforts and continue to hold the fortress of Guam!" ”

"Haha, that's great!" Xie Guangzhi nodded happily, but soon felt that something was wrong, and asked rhetorically: "This, does General Chen mean to continue to hold Guam?" Isn't the battle over yet? ”

Chen Shaoyi smiled: "Of course it's not over!" Why do you think we're coming to reinforce you after the battle is over? ”

"Don't dare!" Xie Guangzhi hurriedly explained: "I think that the British Navy has been wiped out and the war should be over, wasn't it like this before?" As long as the British navy was defeated, they would not dare to fight any more. ”

Chen Shaoyi nodded and said, "Yes, but now the main fleet of the British Navy is still there, and we haven't started fighting yet, so the outcome is still unknown, and I also happened to have the opportunity to send you supplies this time." ”

Xie Guangzhi understood, and the relationship had to continue to be held.

"What? Are you not confident? Chen Shaoyi continued to ask.

"Report to the general, I have never lost confidence in my humble position, stick to Guam, and the people are in Guam!" Xie Guangzhi replied.

Chen Shaoyi nodded and said, "Very good!" If you have any difficulties, I guess I'll stay here for two to three days! ”

It's only two to three days!

"Report, no difficulty! The 7th Marine Brigade is an iron-clad army and does not need difficulties! Xie Guangzhi said this, but he was a little bitter in his heart, this time was too short, but as a glorious soldier of the Chinese Empire, he didn't dare to cry bitterness.

"Not bad! When I go back, I will personally ask Your Majesty for credit! Chen Shaoyi nodded with satisfaction, soldiers should be like this.

After a pause, he continued: "In this way, the food of the navy is good, I am in charge of allocating two hundred more cases of canned beef and one hundred cases of beer to you, I know that you are fighting very hard, and it can be regarded as a reward for you!" ”

Xie Guangzhi suddenly became happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, General!" ”

Chen Shaoyi then assigned the task to let Xie Guangzhi and Han Laoliu stick to Guam together.

Xie Guangzhi and Han Laoliu were both unhappy at once, and asked almost at the same time: "General, who of the two of us is the one who says this?" ”

Chen Shaoyi was happy, looked at Xie Guangzhi and then at Han Lao Liu, and finally decided: "Xie Guangzhi is the mainstay, Han Fusheng assists!" ”

Xie Guangzhi suddenly smiled proudly, while Han Lao Liu forced his face bitterly.

The 3rd Marine Brigade was temporarily placed under the command of Xie Guangzhi, commander of the 7th Marine Brigade, and as a result, the strength of the fortress on Guam was restored to a smaller 10,000 people, and in particular, Han Laoliu's 3rd Marine Brigade was a new force, and there was even greater hope for holding Guam.

Then he began to carry materials, Chen Shaoyi was very generous, and asked Xie Guangzhi to move as much as he could. In just two days, the Guam fortress was replenished with 36 artillery pieces, 100 bloody heavy machine guns, 200 sets of flamethrowers, 3,000 rifles, 30,000 grenades, 100,000 rifle rounds, 500,000 heavy machine gun shells, 500 boxes of various types of artillery shells, 200 hundred boxes of medicines, and a large amount of food, fresh water, canned food, beer, etc., which was enough for the 10,000 defenders of the Guam fortress to hold out for another month.

For two days, the 7th Marine Brigade of the Guam Fortress had no combat mission, and they were working too hard, so they were resting. The combat mission was given to Han Laoliu's 3rd Marine Brigade, which, with the support of the artillery of the Imperial Chinese Navy fleet, launched a large-scale counteroffensive against the British forces in Aginia, killing more than 3,000 enemies.

On the afternoon of the third day, Chen Shaoyi received a report that Matt led the main force of the LinkedIn Navy to return.

So Chen Shaoyi ordered the Imperial Chinese Navy to evacuate Guam, and Han Laoliu quickly collected his troops and returned to the fortress of Guam, and held the fortress with Xie Guangzhi.

"This Matt is still so cautious, he hasn't even divided his troops yet, we have no chance to attack at all!"

According to Chen Shaoyi's plan, even if Matt returns to Guam, he will leave a part of the fleet to protect the coastal area of Sydney. But I didn't expect Matt to be very cautious, so he didn't divide his troops and directly brought the main fleet back to Guam.

"After reading this, Matt thinks we're going to fight him in Guam!"

Chen Shaoyi sneered, after analyzing Matt's tactical deployment, he found that he had no chance to start, so he continued to drag it out, anyway, the Guam fortress was replenished with reinforcements and could hold out for a month, so Chen Shaoyi was not in a hurry, and planned to fight with Matt.

Chen Shaoyi then led the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy to avoid the main force of the British Navy again, detoured to the Solomon Islands, and then ran to Sydney.

When Matt led the fleet to Guam, he was relieved to find that Dale's 30,000 British troops had lost only three or four thousand.

After learning that the fortress of Guam had been replenished with troops and weapons and ammunition, Matt was so angry that he almost vomited blood, seeing that he was about to trap the defenders to seize Guam, but he made a wrong move, so it was strange not to be angry.

Just as Matt sent warships to search the waters around Guam for the movements of the main force of the Imperial Chinese Navy, a few days later off the coast of Sydney, the main fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy reappeared.

The British, who were repairing their homeland, were frightened when they saw that the Chinese Imperial Navy had returned.

"The devil is here again, run!"

Two hours later, Sydney fell again.

Three days later, the news reached Matt in Guam again.

"Puff......" Matt vomited three liters of blood again. (To be continued.) )
