Chapter 471: Deterrence

"This is the Central Radio, and now it broadcasts the national mobilization order issued by the National Assembly, the central government, and the Ministry of National Defense! ……

Article 1: All male citizens from the age of 18 to 35 must respond to the call-up order and join the reserve at the nearest conscription point. All male citizens between the ages of 35 and 50 must join the militia self-defense forces. All persons outside of this age can be absorbed into the mass armed organization if they voluntarily. In the event of local fighting, the rest of the population, except those who have been authorized to evacuate to other places, must remain to carry out the battle and serve the fighting. Until a new decision is made by the Government, every worker and clerk working in government offices, factories, enterprises, construction sites, farms, and places must be transferred to a ten-hour work day, of which eight hours are devoted to productive labor or work, two hours are spent on military training, or on guard duty. Pupils of general secondary schools, students studying at various specialized secondary schools and university students are required to spend two hours a day studying military affairs or carrying out guard and defence duties, in addition to learning cultural and professional knowledge. Espionage, robbery, spreading rumors, and all other criminal acts that impede the activities of government organs and armed forces, or create difficulties for production and order and security during the period of the general mobilization order, must be promptly discovered, investigated, and dealt with in accordance with wartime laws.

Article 2: Former Chahar reservists must report to the nearest barracks within three days of hearing the radio and wait for orders. Those who fail to do so within the time limit will be punished as deserters.

Yang Siyu has now been transferred to the Central Radio Station as the chief announcer, and now she is sitting upright, the telegram in her hand is trembling slightly. Although she was inexplicably excited, she still tried her best to read the manuscript in a dignified tone out of professional ethics.

Outside the radio hall opposite her, some young male staff members looked at each other with complicated expressions, hugged or shook hands with the elderly and female staff members around them, or patted each other on the shoulders, and then silently walked out of the hall under the gaze of everyone.

Chahar is the nest of Su Tong, and it is also the earliest and most complete province in the country. The perennial war preparation career has made everyone here familiar with the war, and when the mobilization order sounded on the radio, the originally bustling streets of Zhangjiakou were instantly deserted.

In an ordinary house, a middle-aged man took out a rectangular box with a thin lead strip seal from the storage room, the man pried the seal open with pliers, and a sealed Garand military rifle appeared in front of him, with several magazines and more than a hundred rounds of ammunition and a slightly old military uniform.

The middle-aged man's hand stroking the rifle trembled slightly, and he muttered in his mouth: "It's been more than a year, old man, we are going to the battlefield together to kill the enemy again, you must be very impatient!" The man said as he quickly removed the butter from the rifle, and after about ten minutes, the man put down the rag in his hand and skillfully pulled the bolt, making a crisp "click" sound, and the man nodded with satisfaction.

When the middle-aged man walked out of the room with a rifle on his back, he found his wife standing at the door with his three-year-old child in her arms, looking at him with tears in her eyes. You just came back from the army, isn't it good for us to work in the factory in an an'an, do you have to go to war? ”

The middle-aged man touched his wife's face lovingly, "Child, didn't you say it on the radio, if you don't go, you will have to be dealt with as a deserter." Besides, our family's good days are all given by Chief Su, didn't our father always teach us not to forget our roots? Now that the British have sailed their warships to Hong Kong, just like Chief Su said, won't we become a turtle with a shrunken head if we endure it any longer? Don't worry, it's a few months at the fastest, a year and a half at the slowest, and I'll be back soon. ”

The middle-aged man gently kissed the sleeping child's face and his wife's forehead, turned around and went out.

When the man walked out of the door, he found that more than a dozen old neighborhoods had gathered in front of the door, and they silently watched him walk out of the door. An old man led by stepped forward and patted the man's shoulder and said, "Xiaofei, you can go with confidence, your daughter-in-law and children are taken care of by our old neighbors, and we are all waiting for you to come back as soon as possible." ”

The middle-aged man waved around, "Daddy Jiang, fellow neighbors, I'm leaving." If I can't come back, my daughter-in-law and children will be taken care of by everyone, and I Shi Jianfei is here to thank you! ”

"Jian Fei, don't say stupid things, you will definitely come back!"

An old lady wiped her tears and said, "Jianfei, don't worry." Your daughter-in-law and children are taken care of by the eldest mother, so make sure they live well. ”

Since Chahar is the province with the most complete reserves and the best training among the provinces in the country, and they also shoulder the heaviest tasks, a large part of the newly formed troops are selected from Chahar, and at this time, there are scenes of farewell relatives everywhere. Wives send their husbands, fathers send their sons, and younger brothers send their brothers, all of them are full of scenes of relying on others.

A foreign correspondent in Chahar exclaimed: "Now the whole of Chahar has become almost a barracks, full of soldiers in green uniforms, God, this time the British are in trouble." ”

Shenzhen, Guangdong, at this time Shenzhen was still just a small fishing village, but almost overnight there were countless troops gathered here. Military vehicles drove in one by one, and troops arrived one by one, and the overwhelming smoke and dust almost dazzled the British Army stationed in Hong Kong, which was only separated by a wall on the opposite side.

A bearded British major was holding up a telescope to observe the situation across from the viewer, and cursed indignantly: "Damn, they actually dragged in the large-caliber heavy artillery, they should really pull all the bitch politicians in the government over to see what stupid things they did." Do they think that with our more than 10,000 people, they can resist more than 100,000 soldiers in Huaxia? Or do they think we're all invulnerable gods of war? ”

"Major Jones, the company commander asked me to ask you, are we going to continue digging our position?" A soldier ran over and asked.

"Damn, he's a military academy-trained officer of the British Empire, not a native of the mountains. If you don't dig a position, do you want the soldiers to stand on the flat ground to meet the machine guns and heavy artillery of the Huaxia people? Major Jones turned on the soldier and roared, "Go tell that fool Jim that I don't mind sending him to the front as a scout if he can't dig his position and pull up the barbed wire before dark." ”

The soldier standing in front of the angry Major Jones did not have time to wipe the spit from his face, and hurried back to report to the company commander.

Shenzhen Longgang

This has now become the headquarters of the 42nd Group Army, and Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the 42nd Group Army, who has just arrived, is convening a meeting of all the officers.

Luo Zhuoying was dressed in a brand-new uniform, and the two stars on his shoulders were shining, and he glanced around at the officers in the conference room before he said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor for our 42nd Group Army to be selected by the President and the Ministry of Defense to come here this time. According to reliable sources, the British army currently stationed in Hong Kong has only two infantry divisions that are not fully manned, there are almost no heavy weapons, and even the warships are only a few small frigates, and our task is to recover Hong Kong within seven days, that is, before the British fleet arrives. ”

At this time, Wang Qinglong, the commander of the Fourth Artillery Division, stood up and said loudly: "Commander Luo, don't worry, my Fourth Artillery Division promises to bomb the positions of those British Yankees into ruins, and I will be able to complete the task in three days." ”

Luo Zhuoying shook his head, "Division Commander Wang, the task of your division this time is to put the artillery position as far forward as possible, so that the British can find out what you look like." But you are not allowed to fire without my orders! ”

"Ahh Wang Qinglong was dumbfounded, "Commander, if we don't let us open fire, then what else do we want us to do, are we coming all the way here to scare people?" ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone in the conference room laughed.

Luo Zhuoying also smiled and said, "Yes, it's to make you scary." Commander Wang, you have to remember that your unit will show the guys as soon as they arrive in the Luohu area tomorrow, and don't hide those large-caliber artillery fires, show them all for those British to see. Do you see what I mean? ”

"Oh! So Commander, you're trying to scare the British! If Wang Qinglong still doesn't understand Luo Zhuoying's calculations, this division commander will be in vain, and after suddenly realizing it, Wang Qinglong asked with some hesitation: "But the British won't be so hasty, can we scare them?" ”

Luo Zhuoying sighed: "Hong Kong is our own land after all, and our compatriots live in it, and the people in the urban area of Hong Kong are relatively dense, it would be a pity if Hong Kong was destroyed!" Therefore, the president specially ordered that it would be best if the British could surrender, otherwise it would be ......" Speaking of this, Luo Zhuoying's words revealed a murderous aura, and everyone understood that if the British didn't know each other, don't blame them for being hot.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Major Jones, who had come to the position to observe as soon as he got up, had just raised the telescope in his hand and looked ahead, and the telescope in his hand was shaking, "What is that?" God, that's a 300-caliber siege artillery and a 203-caliber howitzer, what do those Chinese people want to do? Are they going to bomb Hong Kong to rubble? ”

At this time, in the eyes of Major Jones, more than 300 neatly placed heavy guns appeared in front of him, and the muzzles of the huge cannons pointed directly at the positions of the British army. Major Jones couldn't imagine that if they had fired all the shots, how many of his battalion would have survived. "Someone, hurry up and report to Lieutenant General John, the Chinese cannons have been aimed at us"
