Chapter 457: The Great Pursuit

When Liang Chengcai arrived at the West Gate, he saw the situation of fierce fighting, the British army had spread into the city and was breaking through further, and many people on the city wall were resisting, and then a company of the Chinese regular army was fighting fiercely with the enemy, a large number of Chinese militia were shot, the corpses were piled up, and the blood was flowing wildly, which was very tragic,

A company of squadrons, consisting of one hundred and twenty men, immediately joined the battle when they arrived, stopping the British offensive, but they were not able to reverse the fundamental situation.

More than 100 troops shot bullets at the British army piece by piece, and the more than 300 British troops who fought against them actually found out whether they were opponents or not.

Seeing the dashing appearance of the squadron skillfully changing bullet shooting, the British young man was stunned,

Once it is close, the grenade bombardment of the squadron is also quite powerful, so the British army cannot get close.

The British army did not use bombs in the ranks, which is the most incredible thing.

These, not terrible, the problem is that after the British army climbed the city, the city gate was opened, and the mountain artillery carried by them was also transported in, and they bombarded the middle **, and after a few cannons, twenty middle ** soldiers were injured and lost their ability to fight.

A company that cannot withstand the enemy,

The follow-up Chinese troops finally arrived, and when they saw that a company was about to be eaten by the enemy, reinforcements of more than 400 people rushed from two roads, one was the passage of the city wall, and the other was the street below.

"I call you red, I call you red, red-haired devil."

"Beat, beat you son of a bitch."

Chinese officers and soldiers shouted while fighting, gritting their teeth to eliminate the fear in their inner world, on the battlefield, there is no one who is not afraid, unless it is a veteran who has fought to the death for many years,

Basically, the results and losses of the squadron are three to one, especially in the battle hundreds of meters away, the British army can't hook it, basically it is passively beaten, only a few times with a mountain shell, more than 400 troops, against more than 4,000 enemies, can already be firmly defended, the British army was resisted by platoon after company, killed and wounded more than 700 people, also frightened, and saw the squadron ** swarming like a tide, how much chilling,

The more chilling ones are in the back,

The battlefield stabilized, an artillery company was also mobilized, and then, another infantry battalion arrived, and the number of medium ** reached the scale of 1,000 people, especially the addition of the artillery company, which greatly changed the situation.

Due to the British army's more than a dozen mountain artillery, the squadron's rifle and grenade power can not be fully utilized, when the mortar company arrived, it immediately changed, twelve mortars, Huhu Dongdong shells smashed at the British army like hail, the crowd has always been dense, the British army fighting in group tactics was horrifically killed, in many cases, a shell, can make seven or eight, or even a dozen British soldiers were killed and wounded, lost their combat ability, and after the discovery of the enemy's mountain artillery, There were five mortars, and they bombarded the British mountain artillery group, although the British army was a well-trained gunner, but the kind of stuff that loaded and loaded gunpowder was too old, and before a few plays, the British gunners were killed and wounded, and they couldn't get close to the mountain artillery at all.

The battle lasted for an hour, and another Chinese infantry battalion entered the battle, and then, an artillery battalion arrived and bombarded the British army with nearly ten mortars, which became the last straw that crushed the British army.

General Liang Chengcai also personally led the infantry charge, threatening the British from the flank, making the battle sticky and not giving the enemy a chance to escape, and his cronies also had a reinforced company of 200 people.

Chief of Staff Zhao Liewen was convinced that the British army only had one way, so he used the reserve troops, an artillery and a cavalry battalion, an infantry regiment, what concept, hulala rushed over, among them, infantry and artillery are the main force, in this way, rushed to the battlefield of the squadron, in the end there were more than 4,000 people, did not use artillery, that kind of artillery is too clumsy, only mortars, mortars against infantry is not an ordinary magical power, anyway, the British army simply guarantees that there is no place to hide,

In the end, nearly a hundred mortars bombarded the British army, and in terms of the radio frequency of the mountain artillery used by the British army, one mortar is equivalent to more than five mountain artillery, so the British army is not an opponent at all.

The location of the British army, the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, are full of terrifying deformed people, many parts of the human body that have been blown up, which is even more terrifying, the two lieutenant colonels of the British army, one has been killed and one wounded, in the case of defeat has been decided, only some officers and soldiers can be left to resist the break, and the rest quickly retreat,

The wounded and mountain artillery of the British army, the rifles of the dead and wounded, etc., were all discarded,

About 800 remnants of the British army fled from the west gate of Canton City in a swarm and rushed further west.

In order to speed things up, they threw away everything on their bodies that could be lightly loaded, and even many even threw away their rifles,

The squadron also has some people supervising on the city wall, as soon as they saw the enemy escape, they immediately called the police, and suddenly, the squadron launched a fierce attack, charging directly under the cover of mortars, at this time, the British army was bombed and could not raise its head, and could not resist at all, many times, weapons decided everything, the War of Resistance began, the reason why the squadron was defeated and retreated again and again, the difference in weapons was the key, and then the counteroffensive in northern Burma and Yunnan, the artillery of the Chinese expeditionary force, bombarded the Japanese army could not parry at all, and there were zero fighters, began to sweep through Southeast Asia, but, As soon as the American Hellcat came out, targeting the Japanese fighters, the Zero fighter was actually reduced to a suicide plane, tragic,

With a charge, General Liang Chengcai's troops stepped on the British wounded soldiers to form a broken rear line, poked the recalcitrant British troops into dead dogs, and then chased them out of the city.

The cavalry battalion of the strategic reserve, more than 400 people, became the protagonists of the later stage of today's battle, and they bravely pursued them without the order of the general,

The British army didn't run far, so the infantry in the middle ** did not give up, and they were also chasing fiercely, if it weren't for Liang Chengcai's worry that there would be changes in the city, the British army would still attack, and the British army would really chase after it, maybe the British army would be annihilated within twenty minutes.

Four hundred cavalry, two thousand infantry, desperately pursued the British army, and then, when the people of the city heard that the British army had been defeated and fled, the frightened anger came out, and immediately they all rushed towards the enemy in groups, armed with clubs, kitchen knives, etc.,

There were more than 7,000 people in Guangzhou who participated in the war.

In this situation of national pursuit, at the end of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, when Guangzhou was surrounded by paddy fields, how fast the British army wanted to run, it was impossible,

Flee in front, chase behind, more and more Chinese people, Chinese villages along the way, there are militia organizations, the national mobilization, so, everyone watched the enemy flee, they also came out to fight the water dogs, hundreds of people joined in, and finally, at the end of the battle, more than 30,000 people have gathered, this is the people's war, the ocean,

Forty minutes later, several British monkeys were caught in the mud, and the battle ended, and the British army was completely annihilated.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun shone on the city of Guangzhou, and also shone on the Chinese people who returned happily and triumphantly, and Guangzhou was boiling again.
