Britain was quick to react that since war had been declared, there was no need to hesitate.

After contacting France, the two countries declared war on China at the same time after Chen Shao's press conference.

France is not considered to have been dragged into the water, except for Britain, France's interests in China are the greatest, and France is also afraid that China will take back Hong Kong and then hit France's attention. Only by uniting to defeat China can we not only protect our current interests, but also increase our interests in China.

However, France is not afraid, Britain is the leader, naturally it is mainly British, France is not strong in the East, and it is already the limit to be able to send a few divisions. Moreover, France also took it when it saw it, and even if it was defeated, it would only lose a little bit. France will not allow itself to be mired in war.

At the same time as Chen Shao held a press conference, the National Defense Force's operational staff was already running at high speed.

An aircraft carrier detachment headed by the aircraft carrier Shihuang is also cruising in the South China Sea, and 10 submarines composed of 30 submarines are also on standby in the South China Sea.

The inhabitants of the Guangxi region near Lang Son in Vietnam were also completely removed, and the Janissaries were stationed here after the British troops had been assembled, and the reserves of the two armies were placed on the left and right flanks of the Janissaries.

As soon as Chen Shao's words of declaring war were finished, Jiang Baili got the news. This declaration of war not only shook the world, but also gave the Wehrmacht an order to attack.

The idea of the operational staff is very simple, knock out the opponent's navy first, and then deal with the army and air force.

The radar built in Hainan searched with all its might, and the radar could not detect the ground because there were too many obstacles on the ground that could reflect radar waves. However, radar is very useful to detect the sea and the air. Red Alert's radar can ignore any non-metallic object and only react to something iron. So as long as the British Eastern Fleet appeared in the radar range, it would not escape the eyes of the radar.

The first to strike was the Air Force, and the target was also the most obvious. Two British destroyers and four gunboats in Shenzhen Bay, which were the entire British maritime force guarding Hong Kong.

At this time, the British troops in Hong Kong were unable to move, a division of the National Defense Force had blocked outside Hong Kong, and the only 10,000 British troops in Hong Kong were confronting the other side.

Churchill had no time to leave, and had no choice but to take over the defense of the whole of Hong Kong. He strictly ordered the defenders of Hong Kong that as long as the defense forces did not fire a single shot, the defenders of Hong Kong would not take the initiative to attack.

Churchill knew that relying on Hong Kong's strength now is an order of magnitude compared to the Chinese National Defense Force, and the quality is far inferior. At present, the Chinese National Defense Forces do not seem to have the intention of attacking Hong Kong, and once they are provoked, it is impossible to say. Churchill now only hopes that this war, which should not have happened, will end as soon as possible.

At this time, on the other side of Shenzhen Bay, opposite Hong Kong, an observation group of three soldiers was lurking on a small hillside in the bay. The three soldiers were covered in weeds and lay quietly in the grass. One of the soldiers set up a large telescope, another with a pen and paper, and the last with a walkie-talkie.

After receiving the declaration of war, the destroyers and gunboats in Shenzhen Bay rushed here to help defend themselves on land. Hong Kong has shore artillery in the open sea direction, but in the direction of the mainland, there is no large-caliber artillery at all, and at this time it can only rely on naval guns to defend Hong Kong. It's just that they don't know that their every move falls into the eyes of the Wehrmacht.

Today the sky is clear, and in the entire bay, only the warships of the British army are there. The fishermen did not come here during this time, and they were informed early in the morning that there was a high probability of war in this place. This thing also has an effect, and many brave fishermen are watching from a distance.

At an air force airfield on the outskirts of Dongguan, 15 dive bombers had already taken off, and after completing their formation in the air, they were rushing toward Shenzhen Bay.

A division of the Wehrmacht besieging Hong Kong, and the heavy artillery of the artillery directly under the entire division was also assembled. However, their target was not Hong Kong, but the British ** ships in Shenzhen Bay, and nearly 150 heavy guns had already set up gun emplacements, and as long as they received the firing of Zhu Yuan, they could start shelling. But today they are here to accompany the prince to study, and the dive bomber is the main force.

The observation team set up the equipment and got to work.

The observer reports a set of data to the recorder, who then begins to compare the data and then gives the resulting data to the correspondent. This is a very tedious task, on the one hand, you have to calculate the speed of the warship, but also to test the wind speed, calculate the speed of the shell, and finally get the angle of shot. And the communicator reported all the complete shooting yuan, as long as the shot was calculated at the angle.

Cloudless weather is nice, but for the Air Force, it means being far away. When the dive bomber approached the British ** ship, the observers on the British ** ship also spotted the approaching aircraft. Sharp sirens sounded, and the crews of the two destroyers also ran towards their posts, anti-aircraft machine guns aimed at the threatening people in the air. However, what made them depressed was that these two destroyers were old ships, and the combined anti-aircraft machine guns of the two ships were only six, and they could not form a firepower network at all.

Before the dive bombers could begin their attack, the heavy artillery on the shore began to attack, and hundreds of heavy artillery guns began shelling along the firing elements given by the observation group. Suddenly the whole Shenzhen Bay fell into a huge rumble, although it was carefully calculated, but the hit rate was really not very good, the first round of shelling only a few shells hit two destroyers, and the four gunboats did not do anything at all. And those shells only made a few openings in the destroyer, causing a fire, and did not cause fatal injuries.

There was another salvo, and this time there was a result, a gunboat that fell behind was hit by three shells in a row, and in the face of a gunboat of only 100 tons, these three shells were enough to kill. The gunboat on the bay was raised high in the explosion, and then a louder explosion was heard, and the entire gunboat fell into a sea of fire, slowly silent. Many British sailors who were lucky enough not to be killed struggled in the fire, and those close to the side of the ship jumped into the water, and some had to be burned alive.

One of the reasons for the low hit rate of this shelling was that the artillery at this time was too far away to prevent the coastal defense artillery around Hong Kong from counterattacking, and the heavy artillery group did not dare to get too close. Otherwise, these heavy guns alone can destroy these warships.

The results of the two rounds of artillery bombardment were only one gunboat, plus two destroyers were damaged. But for the tasks of the heavy artillery group, this is enough. After all, today they are not the main force.

The dive bombers hovering in the sky began to dive down as soon as the heavy artillery fired.

The anti-aircraft machine guns, which had been waiting for them, were stunned by the shelling, and when the shelling stopped, the dive bombers were already very close to the warship. At this time, the British sailors, who had just reflected, began to fight back, but they looked a little flustered. In addition, there were not many anti-aircraft machine guns, and the dive bombers were able to dodge with ease.

There were no anti-aircraft weapons on the gunboats, they could only watch stupidly there.

In the eyes of the British sailors operating the anti-aircraft machine guns, there were planes all over the sky, but none of them were hit. The other party is too cunning, constantly swinging left and right, it is impossible to predict the route at all, let alone shoot in front of the fuselage, and when you shoot, people change direction again, and every time it is in vain.

In such a scenario, if a powerful net of fire can be formed, it is useless to dodge, and sooner or later it will be shot. In previous exercises, dive bombers were also easily shot down in the face of the fleet's combined fire network. The results were there, but in each exercise, the dive bombers paid a serious price. For these pilots, who often face such high-intensity exercises, such firepower is similar to that of a master.

The Sea Shark carrier-based dive bomber can carry a 1,000-kilogram bomb, but this mission does not have a large warship, and it does not have a 1,000-kilogram bomb, but it is all 500 kilograms, so that an aircraft can carry two 500-kilogram bombs.

When approaching the skies over the two British destroyers, a dive bomber that rushed to the front did not hesitate at all, and dropped both bombs at once. After the plane finished dropping the bomb, the fuselage suddenly became lighter, the pilot increased the horsepower, and the speed of the plane suddenly increased, and it quickly swept past another destroyer before it began to crawl.

The two aerial bombs hit accurately, and the destroyer, which had already been blown out of two holes, exploded with two more violent explosions, and the entire hull of the ship shook, and some British sailors who were still extinguishing the fire were sent out one after another. Two 500-kilogram bombs were enough to bury the destroyer, but the dive bombers following behind didn't care about these at all, and two more bombs hit accurately. And it just landed in the center of the destroyer, the 100-meter-long destroyer, which was broken into two pieces in the explosion, and the bow and stern were raised high. The propeller can only rotate helplessly in the air.

The sailors who were thrown off the warship were glad at this time, and if they were still on the ship, they would probably die at the bottom of the sea.

The destruction of a destroyer is only the beginning, and the British ** ship, which has lost half of its anti-aircraft firepower, is a complete tragedy. Under the attack of three dive bombers, the side chord of the other destroyer was completely lifted, and the sea water poured into the large mouth, and the hull of the ship was also tilted at a large angle. Some British sailors, who saw that the situation was not good, hurriedly jumped into the water to escape. As for the sailors who worked at the bottom of the ship, they simply did not have time to escape, and over time they could only follow and sink into the bay.

Both destroyers were destroyed, leaving only three gunboats, and there were no anti-aircraft machine guns, so they could only watch dryly. If it were Japanese at this time, it would be possible to pick up a rifle or machine gun to fight back, but they are not. The dive bombers that still had aerial bombs did not attack, but just circled over their heads.

In the end, the three gunboats chose to sink themselves.

The dive bomber flew away only at this time.
