For one night, the entire Lang Son area did not stop shelling.

All night, all the Anglo-French troops lived in hell. At first, it was safe to stay away from the camp, but then the shells seemed to have eyes, and no matter how far they hid, the shells could find them accurately. The division commander who was lucky enough to survive in the defense area thought that there was a Chinese reconnaissance unit next to him, and sent thousands of people to search the surrounding area several times, but found nothing. But the shells were still chasing them, and without the order of the general headquarters, they did not dare to retreat, so they could only stay here and be beaten passively.

Especially in the trench in front, where many shells fell, this trench that had been built for a long time was almost ploughed by dawn. Barbed wire and various obstacles placed on the trenches were also cleared by artillery fire. In order to prevent a surprise attack by the Chinese army, the trenches also needed to be manned all the time. The encounter throughout the night has become a nightmare for all soldiers.

Haig hadn't slept well all night, and he had been through countless battles, so the sound of artillery could not affect his rest. This war really made him bottomless, and he had too many things on his mind, so his sleep was naturally not good. It was almost dawn that he really fell asleep. Before he could sleep for a few hours, he was woken up by Ganmalin.

"Commander, Commander, something is wrong." As soon as Haig got up, Ganmalin said eagerly.

"What's wrong, China is attacking?" Hearing Gan Molin's words in a daze, Haig immediately came to his senses.

"No, it's not our Army that has an accident. Alas! See for yourself! Gammelin took out a telegram and handed it to Haig.

Haig rubbed his eyes and hurriedly took the telegram from Gan Malin's wounded.

"Yesterday afternoon, the British Eastern Fleet was attacked by the Chinese fleet in the South China Sea and has been completely annihilated." Haig couldn't help but say it.

Haig couldn't believe it, and less than a day after the declaration of war, the dozen or so warships of the Eastern Fleet were reimbursed. That's just too fast.

Not only did Haig not believe it, but basically the British generals who saw the news for the first time did not believe it.

As soon as the day dawned, the entire British Isles seemed to have a 12-magnitude earthquake. Early this morning, several large newspapers around the world published the news one after another. Many detailed photographs are also published. There are photographs of British sailors being captured, as well as two battleships in the sunk, and those floating objects on the surface of the sea. All of them are proving that this matter is true, and it is definitely not a hype of China. At the same time, early this morning, a British hospital in Canton received a notice from Zhonghua that they should send someone to treat the wounded British sailor prisoners. This also confirms this from the side.

At the same time, the China Daily also announced the casualty figure this time, and only more than 700 prisoners were captured, and the rest were all buried at the bottom of the sea. Of the more than 700 people, one-third are still in danger of dying and must be treated immediately.

The news was deliberately spread throughout the UK, and it wasn't long before the families of the sailors gathered at 10 Downing Street to demand that the current Prime Minister Baldwin come out and give an explanation.

Baldwin had no choice but to keep reassuring the agitated public, and these British citizens, who were worried about their families, did not buy it. The Labor Party and the Democratic Liberal Party are fanning the flames, which makes the situation even more difficult to manage.

Internationally, the Germans danced the most joyfully, satirizing the British defeat everywhere. The domestic media has been reporting non-stop, and huge photos have spread all over the streets. All were captured by British sailors, and two battleships were sunk. At the same time, Germany is also promoting China's strength, and the official directly claims that China is Germany's most solid natural ally and will cooperate with China in various fields in the future.

In addition to Germany, other countries have different reactions, some are satirical, some are fanning the flames, and some are lamenting.

The Soviet media even mentioned that the eastern neighbor of the Soviet Union had risen and that this matter must be taken seriously.

Regardless of what happens internationally, Haig doesn't care. He didn't believe it at first, so he personally sent a report to China to confirm it, and finally had to believe it.

The Navy has failed, Haig has no intention of waiting any longer, and this war must end as soon as possible. Haig was very worried that China would take advantage of the situation, and the military forces of Britain and France throughout Southeast Asia were gathered here, and once China landed directly in Southeast Asia from the sea, then there would be no need to fight this war.

Before he could give the order, the Chinese Air Force had already reached their heads.

At dawn, the H-2 of one squadron that had been prepared took off first, and then the H-2 of the other two squadrons also set off one after another, with an interval of only ten minutes. At the other two airfields, two groups of Hawk-2s were also ready, and after the first batch of bombers took off, a squadron of Hawk-2s also began to take off to escort the bombers. Ten minutes later, the remaining Warhawk-2s took off one after another.

If it weren't for Chen Shao's unwillingness to expose the ability to take off and land planes at night, the bombers would have been able to clear the British and French airfields several times last night.

Guangxi is Chen Shao's base camp, and Fangchenggang is the birthplace of Chen Shao's air force, and a large number of air forces are stationed to guard the shipyard. After destroying the British Eastern Fleet, it doesn't matter if all the air forces in Fangchenggang are dispatched. At this time, Chen Shao added up all the air forces under the Air Force, and the number of planes that could fight had exceeded 1,000, and in addition to training planes and experimental planes, there were nearly 1,000 planes that could fight. There are more than 300 second-generation aircraft alone, two groups of Warhawk-2, one group of H-2, and most of the rest are H-1 and Warhawk-1. If you add the air power belonging to other departments, this number will be added a lot.

The powerful high-altitude performance of the H-2 made the air defense weapons owned by the British and French forces at this time become ornaments. As soon as the bomber came to the sky above the British and French forces, it did not stop and flew directly over. Their target was not the infantry of the Anglo-French army, but the opponent's airfield. They went over the British and French forces to let them know that their destination was their airfield. The Anglo-French airfield had long been discovered, and its location was no longer a secret from the time they forced the Vietnamese to build it.

When Haig saw the direction in which the plane was going, he immediately ordered someone to notify the airfield behind him by radio. The airfield is only a short 50 kilometers away from them, and it was originally planned to be convenient for support nearby, but 50 kilometers, in the face of the H-2, which has a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, it only takes six minutes to reach it, even if it is too fast to reflect the speed, it will be too late. Flying over their heads, it was nothing more than trying to stimulate Haig. At least now that the first goal of the Chinese Air Force has been achieved, Haig is indeed stimulated. He was cursing incessantly.

British and French airfields received a reminder from the army and immediately sounded the air defense alarm. One by one, the planes were pulled out of the hangar, and the air defense troops began to run to their posts, operating air defense weapons and waiting for them. Compared to the speed of the air defense forces, the speed of the aircraft was much worse, and five or six minutes had passed before the planes placed on the runway began to rise into the air.

Compared with the Warhawk-2, the current aircraft of Britain and France are still the old models of World War I, all of which are biplane structures and slow speeds. Although it is much more advanced than the Japanese aircraft, it is not a little worse than the Warhawk-2. More than 300 planes are British camel biplanes, flying at a speed of 195 kilometers per hour and an altitude of 5,800 meters. Because of his brilliant record in the First World War, the British side had great confidence in this fighter. In their minds, they may not be as good as the Chinese aircraft, but the disadvantages are limited, and the British are also very confident in their pilots, many of them are pilots who have participated in the First World War, and the aircraft are rich in combat, plus the numerical superiority, which is completely inferior to the Chinese air force.

The ceiling of the H-2 is more than 10,000 meters, even if there is no fighter escort, according to the strength of the British and French forces in Southeast Asia, it is invincible, because you can't fight at all. At this time, there was only one kind of actual combat aircraft that could fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the British and French air defense weapons were all old models of World War I, and the range was completely out of reach, so it would be good to be able to hit an altitude of seven or eight thousand meters. If accuracy is not guaranteed, the H-2 will drop bombs directly above 10,000 meters, and it will be useless to send more than 300 camels into the sky.

After the bomber reached the British airfield, it slowly descended in altitude, and when it descended to 8,000 meters, it stopped descending. If you go any further, it is very likely that you will be hit by the aerial cannon, and as for whether you will be hit or not, the pilot does not want to use his own life to verify it.

At this time, the British and French anti-aircraft guns on the ground had already begun to shoot, and the air guns exploded a few hundred meters below the bomber group, and could not hurt the bomber group at all.

The bomber group was not polite at all, nor was it soft. This time, they were all carrying 500 kilograms of bombs, mainly to paralyze the airfields of Britain and France in the first bombing. Under the command of the pilot, each chooses its own goal. Ignoring their anti-aircraft guns, all the bombers dropped all the bombs on their bodies at the same time.

In the whistling sound, shells fell on the airfield like blood, and occasionally aerial shells landed outside the airfield. After all, at an altitude of 8,000 meters, accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all.

The entire airfield was detonated at the first time, and one can imagine that kind of scene: one H-2 can carry 12 500-kilogram bombs, and 36 are more than 400 bombs, or they are all dropped at once, and the target is limited to an airfield no more than one or two kilometers long. The spectacle was so spectacular that the entire airport was in flames, and the dust and smoke from the explosion covered the sky in an instant.

At the same time as the explosion, there was a lot of fuel and ammunition in the airfield, which also became a second explosion, and the intermittent explosion was mixed with the screams of British and French soldiers when they were wounded.

The fuel oil created a fire that set the clothes of the British and French soldiers on fire. They wore 'fire suits', danced, and sang 'trebles', all of which added a bit of style to an already spectacular scene.
