Chapter 1175: Winning the First Battle
On May 6, the border between Hong Kong and Guangdong was located.
Dense gunshots rang out one after another.
Soldiers with guns could be seen everywhere on the border, and bullets flew under the firelight. The whole situation is a mess. The British soldiers stationed at the border, after receiving orders from the Governor of Hong Kong, Robinson Robertson, knew that the war had begun, and all prepared for a sudden attack by the Chinese army. At the same time, these British soldiers were in high spirits and full of anticipation, because the army of tanks was about to arrive.
Once the tank army arrives, it can enter China with impunity.
When you think about it, it's extremely happy.
Qi Zhenhai knew the hole cards of the British army, and it was impossible to passively wait for the other party to kill. He ordered a battalion of soldiers to attack, intending to break through the defensive line built by the British. This time in the battle with the British army, Qi Zhenhai took Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng and led a division of troops to fight. These soldiers are well-armed and combat-ready.
With the help of the fortifications that had been erected, the British soldiers hid inside the sandbags and opened fire to stop them.
The two sides are at war and the fighting is fierce.
At the command post, Qi Zhenhai held a telescope and looked at the situation on the front line.
His eyebrows wrinkled into a figure-eight shape, giving people a feeling of fierceness and domineering, and he muttered: "I didn't expect that the British soldiers are also equipped with machine guns, and the weapons don't have to be weak." The soldiers of the first battalion organized two charges, and they saw that they were about to take the opponent's position, but the opponent's firepower was strong and beat our soldiers back, which was really a hard bone and not easy to gnaw. ”
Liu Jintang put down the binoculars in his hand and said solemnly: "Senior Commander Qi, the British machine gun is not to worry. At the moment, the artillery battalion has not opened fire, and the artillery battalion should be allowed to cooperate and cover the charge of the soldiers of the first battalion. ”
Chen Yucheng continued: "I agree with Brigade Commander Liu's opinion, the artillery battalion should tear the hole and suppress the firepower of the British soldiers, so that our soldiers can rush through. ”
Qi Zhenhai shouted: "Guard, call the battalion commander of the artillery battalion!" ”
"Yes!"
The guards went to give orders, and soon the commander of the artillery battalion ran over.
Qi Zhenhai looked serious and ordered: "Sun Sanpao, I will give you a task." The soldiers of the artillery battalion immediately opened fire, and in conjunction with the charging soldiers attacked, blowing up the lines of the British soldiers. ”
"The brigade commander can rest assured that Sun Sanpao will guarantee the completion of the task."
Sun Sanpao raised his hand and gave a military salute and quickly left the command post. He came to the position of the artillery battalion, looked at the artillerymen who were already in place, and grinned. He stretched out his thumb, measured the distance of the cannon from the position of the British soldiers, and commanded loudly: "The anti-tank battery company will not move for the time being, and the remaining two artillery batteries will be in place." Four hundred meters ahead, blow up the blockade line of the British army. ”
"Ready, ready!"
Sun Sanpao's voice was high-pitched, and there was a deep excitement in his eyes.
After a pause of about twenty seconds, Sun Sanpao suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Release!" ”
"Whew!"
The first cannon shots were heard, followed by a dense burst of cannons. One shell after another was fired, cutting a perfect arc through the sky, and then flew to the British positions in an instant.
"Boom!!"
The first shells hit the ground, and a dazzling fire erupted from the position.
"Boom !!"
Almost in the blink of an eye, the rest of the shells landed accurately on the position. The fortifications formed by the British soldiers were bombarded by artillery shells, and they were instantly turned into a sea of fire. Countless British soldiers were blown up to the ground, and countless British soldiers kept screaming in the sea of fire, and their voices were extremely miserable.
In the command post, Qi Zhenhai saw this, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "Okay! It is worthy of Sun Sanpao, and it is not a loss that I usually gave him so much live-fire training, and the problem was solved with one shot. ”
Liu Jintang nodded, and said enviously: "Senior Commander Qi, this Sun Sanpao is indeed powerful and accurate enough. This artillery battalion of yours is very powerful, I envy it. Look at the bombs that landed, almost none of them were far from the target range. The place where the shell exploded was within the target range, and with such an artillery force, the strength has increased greatly! ”
Qi Zhenhai smiled, with a look of pride in his eyes.
As a leader of soldiers, everyone likes to hear others praise their soldiers. When there was a chorus of joy in the command post, Sun Sanpao had already given the order for the second wave of artillery attack. When the second wave of shells flew out, they fell intensively on the British positions, completely causing the opponent's fortifications to completely collapse, and they were no longer able to resist.
"Toot! Honk! Honk!!! ”
The bugle sounded, and the soldiers of the 1st Battalion launched a final charge.
Hundreds of soldiers rushed to the front and quickly occupied the British fortifications. The first encounter with the British army was won in a short time. Qi Zhenhai was excited in his heart, but he didn't get carried away, because it was just an appetizer. Then there was a battle with the British tank army, and that was the real battle. Qi Zhenhai ordered to deal with the battlefield, and after a short period of processing, he continued to move forward.
The soldiers were quick and went straight to Hong Kong.
……
The Governor's Residence, in the Great Hall.
At this time, the Governor of Hong Kong, Robinson, the envoy to China, Gobard, the Auxiliary Secretary for Politics, the British commander Adams, the French commander Lawell, and even the commanders of the United States, Russia, Italy, Austria, and other countries, all gathered.
"Report!"
A shout was heard, and a soldier quickly ran in.
Robinson hurriedly asked, "What's the news?" ”
The soldier looked a little lost and replied: "The Chinese army has launched an offensive and has broken through the defensive line, and it is entering Hong Kong Island. Chinese troops are moving rapidly southward, towards Wan Chai. ”
In an instant, everyone's faces darkened, and their expressions were gloomy.
The commander of the British army, Adams, blinked and asked, "What about the coalition forces?" Where did the coalition forces of the countries go? ”
The soldier thought for a moment, and then immediately returned: "Your Excellency, the coalition forces of various countries are heading north, and they have not yet reached Wan Chai District. Because the Chinese army attacked so quickly that the soldiers stationed in the defensive line could not stop it. However, as long as the tank units of the coalition forces arrived, they would definitely be able to defeat the Chinese army in one fell swoop. ”
The commander of the French army, Lawell, asked: "Who is leading the Chinese army?" ”
The soldier obviously knew, and replied without hesitation: "The general of the army is Qi Zhenhai, the division commander who has been stationed in Guangzhou all the year round, and the brigade commander Liu Jintang and the brigade commander Chen Yucheng follow, and the strength is one division. ”
Rawell nodded, and waved his hand for the soldier to go down.
At this time, Rawell continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng, who are leading the army, have rich combat experience, and we cannot take it lightly. Even with new weapons, you should be cautious. ”
His words won the approval of most people, and they unanimously agreed that we should be careful.
……
Chinese troops entered Wan Chai, followed by the command posts of Qi Zhenhai, Lau Kam-tang and Chan Yucheng.
Three men were behind the army, directing the army to fight.
"Report!"
The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion ran back, raised their hands and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the division commander, a large number of British troops have been found ten miles ahead. In addition to the British army, the American army, the French army, and even the armies of other countries are participating in it, and they are rapidly moving towards us. In addition to the soldiers of various countries, new British weapons have also appeared. ”
"Good!"
Qi Zhenhai smiled and said, "Pass the order to go down and find favorable terrain to prepare for battle." ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion immediately went to give the order, and Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang, and Chen Yucheng looked at each other, with excitement on their faces. After the previous battles, it was finally time for the real battle.
