Chapter 569: The Battle of Hong Kong and Macao I

On the high ground of Songshan, the generals of the Yunnan army, such as Cun Xingqi and Adjutant Chen, held binoculars and looked at the magnificent scene excitedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Haha, great, Yankee dead ball!"

"Damn, it's so relieving, let the damn American devils taste what it's like to be bombed!"

…………

This powerful air raid, which was completely similar to the devastating, lasted for more than half an hour, until the British and American troops and their servant troops were completely killed and wounded, and the corpses were strewn all over the field.

Under a mountain rock near the headquarters of the US army, the unkempt Morgan dared to show his head at this moment.

When he saw the tragic scene of his own position, he was so angry that the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and the dark face couldn't see what color it was, but the eyes that almost breathed fire could still best prove the anger in his heart at the moment.

"Bastard, call the Air Force immediately and carry out retaliatory bombing against the Chinese, quick!" Morgan roared and commanded the lieutenant beside him.

The adjutant hurriedly ran away, but it didn't take long for him to run back in a panic: "Sir, our radio station has been blown up. ”

"Then go to the British, and use theirs." Morgan's eyes were red and he roared.

On Songshan, Wang Dafei put down the binoculars with satisfaction, and said strangely: "General, it will be impossible for the Americans to attack for a while and a half, let's go down and see what difference is made in the forward positions." ”

"yes, okay." Inch Xingqi is now convinced by Wang Dafei and his subordinates, and admires it.

It was also the Air Force that came to reinforce them, but they were able to provide such accurate positioning, and in combination with the Air Force, they directly caused unimaginable damage to the Americans.

And his previous performance was really unsatisfactory.

When they came to the forward trenches, they were surprised to find that the original loose and simple trenches had undergone earth-shaking changes.

It becomes narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. In many places, barriers were built on the trenches with planks, branches, trunks, and dirt.

Wang Dafei pointed to these changes and said: "The top is narrow and the bottom is wide, and this artificial barrier can effectively prevent the damage of the enemy's artillery shrapnel and aerial bombs to our soldiers in the trenches during the scattering of the explosion.

However, due to our lack of steel plates and other equipment, if the enemy's artillery shells or aerial bombs landed on them accurately, these simple civil fortifications would still be of little use.

At that time, life and death will be left to fate. ”

After looking at it, he nodded thoughtfully. He hadn't taken two steps before he noticed that in the trench, which was not spacious, there were many small holes in the walls of the trenches on both sides that he had never seen before.

These holes can basically only accommodate one person, and many of Wang Dafei's subordinates are hiding inside.

Wang Dafei continued: "This kind of hole is called a cat's ear hole, which can be used for effective air defense and anti-artillery.

However, we are short of time, and we have not had time to dig bigger and deeper, otherwise all the soldiers can hide in this big and small cat's ear hole during the enemy's shelling and air raids.

Only a small number of vigilant soldiers should be left on high ground. With the trenches and the special structure of the cat's ear holes, it is basically difficult for the enemy's artillery fire and bombardment to pose a threat to our officers and men.

This is the best way to defend against air and artillery when our side has no air supremacy and lacks the support of anti-aircraft weapons and powerful artillery units. ”

Inch Xingqi bent down and took a closer look at this cat ear piercing. I got into it myself and tried it.

When he came out, he said with admiration: "Who invented this kind of cat ear piercing?" It's really too smart, it's simply the most powerful invention in defensive warfare! ”

Wang Dafei said proudly: "General, you may not believe it when you say it." Our knowledge and skills in building fortifications were all learned at the Longxing Military Academy, and it was our chairman of the committee, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xinghan, who compiled these training courses! ”

"Huh? All of these were come up with by Commander-in-Chief Zhang? "Inch Xingqi was a little incredulous.

"Hmm." Wang Dafei nodded solemnly.

Inch Xingqi said: "Chairman Zhang is really a genius of Tianzhong. No wonder we were able to sweep away the Japanese army in such a short period of time, and to snow the great shame of our China for hundreds of years! ”

Mandalay, U.S. Army Command.

Colonel Mick came to MacArthur, who was smoking a cigar, with a heavy message in his hand, and saluted him with a snap: "General, Morgan just called, they were subjected to a fierce air attack by the Chinese Air Force, and the artillery, tank troops, and infantry suffered extremely heavy losses.

He asked the general to send reinforcements immediately, otherwise the offensive would be unsustainable and might even be defeated by the Chinese army. ”

"Huh?" MacArthur held a cigar in his hand and frowned: "How could the Chinese suddenly succeed in an air raid, didn't the previous air raids have no effective effect?" ”

Colonel Mick said in a word: "Could it be that they have increased their troops? ”

"It's very likely." MacArthur thought for a moment and said, "Call Morgan back, 100,000 elite troops of the United States of America have landed, and 10,000 reinforcements will arrive in three days at most, please hold on."

No matter how bad it is, we must ensure that the Longling and Mangshi that have been in hand cannot be lost.

In addition, our airborne troops will be almost ready, and at that time, we will break through the Chinese Nu River defense line in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes!" Mick bowed his head in answer and turned to leave.

Hawaii, General Command of the U.S. Combined Pacific Fleet.

Nimitz propped his hands on the conference table with a dark face, looked at the staff members attending the meeting, and said with a serious face: "The heavy loss of Luzon Island has made President Roosevelt extremely angry.

Congress is also extremely unhappy about this, and if we do not reverse this unfavorable situation as soon as possible, how will we account to the general public in the United States of America? How to explain to Mr. President!

His Excellency the President has already instructed us to plan an air raid on Nanjing, the capital of China, within a month, and to carry it out successfully.

In order to recover the adverse effects of the heavy losses suffered by the First and Third Fleets, and to encourage the officers and men of our army and the people of the United States. ”

"I hope you will come up with a suitable plan for me as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" A group of senior US military officers and staff officers present stood up one after another with serious expressions and responded at the same time.

…………

Matsuyama, in a forward trench.

Wang Dafei's airborne troops are instructing the soldiers of the Yunnan army on how to fortify the fortifications and dig the cat's ear holes.

The officers and men of the Yunnan Army quickly changed from the mentality of some competition at the beginning to admiration for the elite of the Central Army who rushed to reinforce them.

The two sides soon became one and formed a deep friendship.

In the command headquarters, Wang Dafei's sand table was also made, and he was explaining to the commanders of the Yunnan army such as He Cun Xingqi how to strengthen the strength of the entire defense line.

Suddenly, a paratrooper scout walked in with a submachine gun on his back and saluted Wang Dafei and the others: "Tuanzao, General Inch, the Americans have withdrawn." ”

"What, retired?" Inch Xingqi was taken aback at first, and then said with joy: "Great, it seems that the Yankees are afraid of our bombing." ”

Wang Dafei nodded and said, "It should be, the bombing just now, the casualties of the enemy army are definitely not small."

However, they have suffered such a big loss, I guess they will definitely not give up on this, it should be a temporary retreat, and they are mobilizing reinforcements to make a comeback.

Therefore, we must not relax our vigilance and take advantage of this rare opportunity to firmly strengthen the defensive line. ”

"That's right, Commander Wang, you are solely responsible for the transformation of the fortifications." Inch Xingqi took the initiative.

"Well, then Wang might as well be respectful." Wang Dafei nodded happily in agreement.

Nanjing, the War Hall of the Military Council.

Zhang Xinghan convened Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren, Long Yun, Liu Xiang and other powerful local generals to hold the first formal meeting.

"Brothers, Xinghan summoned everyone here today to discuss with you about the recovery of Hong Kong and Macao." Zhang Xinghan sat in the first place, looked at the people present, paused and continued: "Now the British have become the lackeys and accomplices of the Americans, and they have brazenly declared war on our country.

It is necessary for us to mobilize our forces to recover Hong Kong and Macau. ”

Bai Chongxi frowned slightly and said: "Commission, now that the American army is pressing the border, can we still draw naval and air forces to carry out the campaign to recover Hong Kong and Macao."

In addition, Portugal, which occupies Macau, has not yet declared war on us, so is it appropriate for us to launch a campaign to recover Macau? ”

Zhang Xinghan replied: "According to what we know, the British do not have many troops stationed in Hong Kong, and we have airfields in Hainan and the Pearl River Delta.

It is easy to rule over Hong Kong and Macao, and on the sea, we can transfer some submarines and a battleship, which should be enough to blockade Hong Kong, Macao, and the nearby waters.

As for the Portuguese army in Macau, its combat effectiveness was even more negligible. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "To be honest, I really haven't seen the combat effectiveness of those British soft-footed shrimp on the island, maybe our army has not landed yet, and the British have already surrendered in fear." ”

Jiang Baili continued Zhang Xinghan's words: "Hong Kong and Macao are our inherent territories, which were seized from the corrupt and incompetent former Qing regime by the great powers in a war of aggression.

We have denied any humiliating treaty agreement they have signed, and under such circumstances and under such conditions, it is necessary for us to recover the inherent territory of this neighbouring country.

We can't fight Britain and the United States to the death on the periphery, and there are still one or two enemy islands in the hinterland.

Moreover, the people of the island have been enslaved by enemy countries for many years, and it is time for them to return to the bosom of their homeland! (To be continued......)
