Chapter 1179: Gundeak Mountain Firefight
Wan Chai District, Allied Forces Headquarters.
In the command post, Lieutenant General James and generals from the United States, France, Russia, and other countries gathered together.
James' face was slightly pale, a symptom of the last time he fainted. He held a telegram from the Governor's Mansion of Hong Kong, his expression was serious, there was excitement in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, after the commanders and envoys of various countries have discussed, they have determined the strategy for the next battle with Qi Zhenhai. According to the strategy on the telegram, we must take the initiative to attract Qi Zhenhai's attention, so as to facilitate the progress of the big plan. If you have different opinions on this strategy, please feel free to speak. ”
Everyone had a telegram in their hands, the plan was already clear.
James waited for about a minute, saw that no one objected, and then continued: "According to the reconnaissance information, Qi Zhenhai has led a division under his command to Jardine's Hill in Wan Chai District. Currently, it is stationed at the foot of Mount Jardine's. In order to carry out the plan, and in order to prevent the Chinese army from continuing to move south, the coalition forces immediately went to Jardine's Hill and blocked Qi Zhenhai on the line of Jardine's Mountain. ”
The leading generals of each country immediately went to deliver the order and quickly set off for departure.
Mount Jardine's, which sounds like a mountain, is actually just a mountain.
It is located in the southeast of Wan Chai District on Hong Kong Island, south of Tai Hang, at an altitude of 433 meters above sea level. After Qi Zhenhai led his troops to Jardine Mountain, he took Jardine Mountain with lightning speed, controlled the strategic artery of Jardine's Mountain, and set up a command post on the mountain.
At the foot of the hill, the checkpoints have been arranged.
Qi Zhenhai and his guards are patrolling various important roads. At this time, a soldier came quickly and reported: "Division commander, Brigade Commander Liu, please return to the command post immediately, there is something important to discuss." ”
"Good!"
Qi Zhenhai nodded and turned back.
Back at the command post, after Qi Zhenhai sat down, he asked, "Brigade Commander Liu, what's the latest news?" ”
Liu Jintang smiled slightly and said: "Two pieces of news, the first news is that the armies of various countries have made a move and are rushing towards Jardine's Mountain, and the next battlefield should be Jardine's Mountain." The second piece of news was that Liu Yongfu of Hong Kong Island sent a letter saying that he had organized the people of Hong Kong and that he had already had a force, and asked if he needed their cooperation. ”
Qi Zhenhai raised his eyebrows and said, "The armies of various countries are coming, let's fight, and then continue to go south." As for Liu Yongfu, what is going on? I don't have a detailed message from him. ”
Liu Jintang stroked his forehead with his hand, laughed dryly, and said bitterly: "Senior Qi, this is my fault, I forgot about it." Last night, the president sent a telegram specifically about Liu Yongfu. At that time, because it was a little late, and Liu Yongfu was just an ordinary person, he didn't take it to heart, so he forgot to tell you today. Liu Yongfu is a citizen of Hong Kong, and when the president went to Hong Kong for disaster relief, he and Liu Yongfu got on the same line. He has a high prestige among the Chinese people in Hong Kong, and has organized the people to work for us. ”
Qi Zhenhai shook his head and said: "Since you are a common person, you don't need to participate, and the matter of fighting is handed over to the soldiers." ”
Liu Jintang nodded, and asked the soldier to reply to the letter, but the wording must be a lot more tactful, and it is impossible to directly refuse Liu Yongfu's kindness, which Liu Jintang understands.
……
In half a day, the armies of various countries arrived at Jardine's Mountain.
James gathered all the generals, ordered the soldiers to control the main road to the south, and then, there was an immediate dispatch of troops. At 2:15 p.m., James ordered a regiment of British troops to begin a frontal assault and storm the Jardine's Hill position. At the same time, the forces of the United States, France, Russia and other countries attacked the flanks and attacked from the flanks.
With the strength of the British army as the mainstay, an all-round offensive was launched.
The artillery of all countries was pulled out and the Chinese troops aimed at Jardine's Hill opened fire.
The rumbling sound of cannon broke the calm of Jardine's Mountain.
On the mountain, where Sun Sancannon's artillery is located. He took the binoculars and looked at it, and saw the cannons of various countries come out, and sighed: "The foreigners of the dog day, there are the artillery of Yingyi, the artillery of Fayi, the artillery of the American Federation, and the artillery of the rest of the small countries, countless cannons are placed below, well, if these cannons are ours, it would be great." ”
He stared at the cannon that was far away, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
He had only three artillery batteries under his command, two of which were already in place. As for the artillery of the anti-tank guns, since no tanks appeared, they could only rest for a while. Sun Sanpao pointed at the bottom of the mountain and said loudly: "Aim at me, you must bomb the place where there are many foreigners under the mountain, don't Lang Fei cannonballs." Lang spent a cannonball, and Lao Tzu told him to eat one less meal. ”
"Don't worry, battalion commander, we understand."
"It's not the first time I've dealt with foreigners, I've never been afraid, but I'm afraid of bad seeds."
One by one, the artillerymen are not ambiguous.
Sun Sanpao said loudly: "There is a lot of nonsense, Lao Tzu wants results, prepare!" ”
He paused for a moment and shouted, "Release!" ”
In an instant, shells flew out, arcing through the air and landing on the frontal attacking British troops. The cannonball exploded, a powerful energy exploded, the earth flew, and the British soldier was blown up, and when he landed, he was already a blur of flesh and blood, and there was no more breath. Shells rained everywhere, inflicting great damage on the British troops who were attacking head-on.
At the command post, Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng paid attention to the battle situation.
Chen Yucheng stared at the situation under the mountain, his brows furrowed, and said solemnly: "Senior Commander Qi, Brigade Commander Liu, I have found a very important problem. The tank, on which the British relied the most, did not appear this time. ”
Liu Jintang pouted and said: "The British's 'King Eight' can't withstand the bombing and dare not come out. ”
Qi Zhenhai thought for a moment and said, "Brigade Commander Chen is right, it is true that he did not appear. Although tanks are easy to be blown up by our armor-piercing shells, a weapon like a tank is put on the battlefield and used properly, which is definitely very powerful. In my opinion, it is impossible for Britain to abandon tanks. ”
"And why do you say that?" Liu Jintang asked.
Qi Zhenhai shook his head and said, "I don't know for the time being, let's let the soldiers fight a little harder and test it." ”
Chen Yucheng said: "I agree! ”
Liu Jintang's expression was slightly flamboyant, and he said: "It's not fun to be ruthless, if you want to do it, you can do it bigger." Our forces are not weaker than the foreigners, and we directly ordered a general attack to defeat the foreigners. Only by beating them hard can we test them to the greatest extent. ”
Qi Zhenhai nodded in agreement and sent someone to pass the order.
At the same time, the command posts of the armies of various countries. Through the telescope, James saw the British troops attacking from the front, as well as the armies of various countries attacking from the flank, and he saw that the armies of all countries had made some progress, and he was very relieved.
James looked at the guards and ordered: "Pass the order, let the soldiers of the artillery battalion strengthen the suppression of firepower, try their best to suppress the fire on the positions of the Chinese army, and give cover to the charging soldiers." At the same time, let the charging soldiers be a little more fierce and work harder, and strive to occupy the opponent's position at one time and achieve victory. ”
"Toot! Honk! Honk!!! ”
As soon as James's words fell, the sound of a charge trumpet was heard.
The sound of a trumpet came from the opposite position.
In James's telescope, countless Chinese soldiers rushed out of the trenches and launched a general attack directly. They rushed down from the hill, charging and shooting, the condescending sprint, and the desperate efforts of a large number of soldiers, to drive down the armies of the countries that had just made a little progress, and the ferocity of the attack made James dumbfounded.
