Chapter 570: The Battle of Hong Kong and Macao II

Seeing that Jiang Baili said this, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren and the others couldn't say anything more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because everyone knows that Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan wear a pair of pants.

The two of them agreed on the same page, and it was basically finalized, and it was better to announce it than to discuss it with them.

In view of this, Bai Chongxi said: "Since Mr. Jiang has said so, then everything is up to the commission."

But how many of those and how many troops do you plan to deploy to participate in this campaign to recover Hong Kong and Macao? ”

 *pig*pig*island*small*say; "This, let's let Mr. Jiang briefly explain it to everyone." Zhang Xinghan gestured to Jiang Baili.

"The committee decided to transfer two naval destroyers, one cruiser, five XXI submarines, and seven landing ships from Taiwan's border guards this time, carrying two groups of marines, totaling more than 1,000 people.

In addition, on land, two regiments of the Cantonese Army were dispatched to assemble in Shenzhen Bay, and at the same time from where to attack Hong Kong.

In addition, in order to prevent accidents, 10 planes were dispatched from the direction of Shanghai and Hangzhou as a guarantee for air supremacy. Jiang Baili said.

"In addition, a large number of agents of the Military Command Bureau and the Secret Bureau have already begun preparations in Hong Kong and Macao, and our agents are still trying their best to plot against the Chinese police in Hong Kong and Macao, patrol and arrest, and when necessary, they will launch attacks on the British and Portuguese colonial forces in the two places respectively to prepare for the operation of our landing troops." Zhang Xinghan added.

Hong Kong, the Governor-General's Office of the British Empire.

The 20th Governor of Hong Kong, Earl Frank Law, was smoking in his office with a sad face.

Since the British Empire declared war on China more than half a month ago, Northcove has been mired in deep anxiety.

Since the Chinese army completely mastered air and sea supremacy, the British army in Hong Kong was cut off from the outside world from the sea.

So the army under his command could not get any reinforcements at all.

A few days ago, he sent a proposal to the Supreme Command on the home side to abandon Hong Kong.

However, in view of the current deterioration of the situation in Asia, especially in the southeastern coastal areas of China, the Supreme Command vetoed his proposal.

and ordered him to hold on to Hong Kong and the Kowloon Peninsula.

In desperation, the Earl of Northcote immediately began to build and strengthen Hong Kong's defenses.

However, due to the inability to obtain material and military reinforcements from the outside world.

The British defenses in the Hong Kong area were still weak.

The Earl of Northcote is well aware of the current situation and the geographical disadvantage of Hong Kong. The more than 10,000 defenders under his command who had never fought could never be compared with the wolf-like Chinese army.

Eventually, Hong Kong will be lost, and it is only a matter of time.

The only hope for Fullt and his subordinates was that the Anglo-American coalition would be able to defeat the Chinese Navy and Air Force on a frontal battlefield, so that the British forces in Hong Kong would be able to receive direct and effective support.

However, not long ago, the 1st and 3rd fleets of the US Pacific Combined Fleet were defeated one after another, which dashed the last glimmer of hope in Count Rofuko's heart.

Therefore, in the past few days, Frank Rofuko's mood has been extremely bad.

Luo Fuguo is swallowing clouds and spitting mist. There was a sound of footsteps coming from the hallway outside the office.

He looked up and saw his assistant secretary, Smith, hurrying in.

"Your Excellency Governor, it's not good, according to the latest news from our army's reconnaissance unit at the Kowloon front, the Chinese army has increased its troops in Shenzhen Bay." Smith came in.

Luo Fuguo looked startled, and then reacted: "Is the Chinese's attack about to start?" ”

"Yes, Lord Doge, what are we going to do? With our current strength, it will be very difficult to block the attack of the Chinese army. "Smith was a little nervous.

Luo Fuguo said angrily: "What else can I do." We are soldiers of the British Empire, and we must fulfill our mission and fight the Chinese army to the last moment! ”

In late March of the 26th year of the Republic of China, more than a dozen Flying Fortress bombers took off from Guangzhou Airport. Escorted by five Zero fighters, it flew over Hong Kong.

With precise intelligence provided by agents of the Secrecy Bureau who had been lurking on the island for a long time, an accurate air strike was carried out against the British forces in Hong Kong at Kai Tak Airport on the island.

Five British fighter jets and eight civilian aircraft were destroyed in an instant.

In just a few minutes, the Chinese Air Force easily grasped air supremacy.

Subsequently. The naval task force entered Hong Kong and, with the assistance of the air force, began to carry out heavy artillery bombardment of British coastal fortifications in Kowloon and Bay.

Meanwhile. The two elite regiments of the Cantonese army transferred from Guangzhou and the four Cantonese military camps that had already gathered in Shenzhen Bay, totaling more than 5,000 people, also crossed the Shenzhen River one after another and launched an attack on Kowloon Island along the Kowloon-Canton Railway.

After more than half an hour of bombardment and artillery shelling, more than 1,000 officers and men of the Chinese Marine Corps landed in separate routes from Clear Water Bay, Tseung Kwan O, and Tai Lang Wan in Sai Kung, on the eastern side of Kowloon Island.

Under the cover of the powerful fire support of the naval artillery group and the air force fighters, more than 1,000 marines from the Northeast Frontier Army were like bamboos all the way.

It was even faster than the advance speed of the elite of the more than 5,000 Cantonese troops.

When the elite of the Cantonese army encountered resolute resistance from the British army in Sheung Shui, Sha Tau Kok and Yuen Long, they fell into a stalemate.

In just two hours, more than 1,000 elite marines quickly penetrated into the hinterland of Tseung Kwan O and Sai Kung on Kowloon Island.

The British troops on the island could not resist and retreated in a hasty southwesterly direction.

The offensive began in the morning, and by two o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Marines had cleared all the remnants of the enemy in the Sai Kung area and began to advance into the hinterland of Kowloon Island.

Due to the loss of the Saigon area, the British troops who resisted the attack of the Chinese Cantonese army at Sha Tau Kok, Sheung Shui and other places were forced to abandon the defensive line and retreat south to shrink.

More than 5,000 Cantonese troops immediately took advantage of the situation to capture the British defense line, and were notified that they quickly launched a pursuit of the British army by different routes.

Catch up with a part of the British army in Tuen Mun and the New Territories, and destroy the enemy in front of you after fierce white-knuckle battles.

At the same time, the Marines advanced to the Sha Tin area, and the British were forced to abandon the defense of the Kowloon Peninsula altogether.

Evacuate to Hong Kong Island and outlying islands.

In the evening, the Marines and the Cantonese Army joined forces in the vicinity of Sham Shui Po.

That night, the secret bureau lurking on the island of Hong Kong and the agents of the Military Command Bureau joined forces to instigate a large number of Chinese patrols and workers to attack the barricades and communication routes of the British army.

The British troops on the island were panicked and demoralized.

At the same time, with the cooperation of the agents, a cruiser and two destroyers of the Navy began to launch accurate targeted removal artillery strikes on the coastal fortifications around Hong Kong Island. (To be continued......)
