Colonel Ramsay's opinion was unanimously agreed, and he was given the post of commander of the military operation, and the Governor authorized him to form a command and draw up a battle plan.

It took only three hours for the colonel and his staff to make the plan. The British troops in Canton were dispatched in all their parts, except for the Governor's Guard, which left one company, with a total of 700 troops, one company of marines, and three naval warships. The company that remained, in addition to defending the governor, also used it to declare the presence of British troops in Canton. Bao Ling informed the French army of the situation, and it was impossible to hide such a big movement from the French. The French representatives expressed their moral support while laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt. Only a "blind man" like the Qing government, who knew nothing about the international situation, would think that the relations between Britain and France were so good that they wore a pair of pants. As for Bai Gui, the nominal ruler of Guangzhou City, no one took him seriously.

Colonel Ramsay's plan was simple, the three warships were divided into two routes. The Cool traveled to Hong Kong alone to assist the Hong Kong garrison in launching an attack on Kowloon. The way, of course, was a feint, and Davis returned to Hong Kong with the ship and was responsible for communicating the colonel's plan to General Spintozzi. They need to make the first move along the way, and the bigger the momentum, the better, try to drag the Chinese troops in front of them and prevent them from coming back to help.

On the other hand, Colonel Ramsay personally led the flagship Sturdy and the Palm as the main force, carrying all the Marine troops to the Yellow Dragon. After the feint on the Hong Kong side began to attract the attention of the Chinese, the two warships took the opportunity to rush into Shenzhen Bay, first destroying the weak Chinese navy, then the Marines took control of the docks, and then the army landed to attack the Chinese base. It has to be said that the colonel's plan was "perfect", provided that the opponent was an army with little combat effectiveness like the Qing army.

The preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, and since it was not a long voyage, there was no need to bring more supplies except weapons and ammunition. Early the next morning, the Cool departed, and the Army began to board, and the large force was to depart in the afternoon.

Leaving Guangzhou at the same time as the Cool was Wang Ju's henchman Wang Ji, who set off behind the Cool in a small boat. By the time the Cool arrived at Victoria Bay, Wang Ji also entered Sinanseong.

At the same time that the British army was fighting hard, the Liberation Army was not idle. After obtaining the authorization of the management committee, Ma Angelica set up the former enemy headquarters, and Chen Shanglong, as the chief of staff, also handed over the work of collecting materials to others, and officially took on the work of making suggestions.

As soon as Lu Renjia received Wang Ju's information, he immediately sent it to the former enemy headquarters - there were several tents standing in an open space at the base, and a combat meeting was being held inside. The British warship that set off first had already arrived in Hong Kong, and Zhang Pan, who had stayed in Kowloon, also made a report to the headquarters. This also confirms the authenticity of Wang's comprador intelligence from the side. "A warship that does not carry infantry cannot be the main force, so what is the vanguard? Or a feint troop? Ma Angelica, who presided over the meeting, raised the first question.

"I think it's a feint." Li Shanglong simply expressed his opinion. He has been active in the original time and space for a long time, and rarely has the opportunity to make his voice heard, so he is afraid of being marginalized by the collective, so he actively participates in this military operation. "The British only have three warships, and there is no reason to disperse their actions and weaken their own strength in vain."

"Maybe they think that our navy is too weak to be worth using its full strength." Zhang Anbang, the only naval officer who attended the meeting, said self-deprecatingly as the captain of the "Xiangmi Lake" landing gunboat. But everyone thinks he's telling the truth.

"I think it's a feint, too." Lu Renjia supported Chief of Staff Chen's opinion. He made a big show of his face this time, and the intelligence work he personally presided over made significant progress, enabling the Liberation Army to know itself and the enemy, and made a great contribution before the war began. "It seems that it was the intelligence of the Wang comprador that worked, and the British took the bait."

The information transmitted by Wang Comprador to the British was the result of the collective deliberation of the military units, and its purpose was to give the British the illusion that the defense of the main base was weak and to lure the British to take the initiative to attack.

"Do you think our plan to lure the enemy has succeeded?" As the main formulator of the plan, Ma Angelica immediately understood what Lu Renjia meant.

"I also think it's very likely that the British took the bait." Ma Jin also attended the meeting as a staff officer, "It is impossible for the British to find out that Wang Comprador is our person, nor will they think that Wang Comprador is our trap. It is common military knowledge to avoid the real and attack the false, and if I were the commander of the British army, I would choose this way. So I think the goal of the follow-up units of the British army should be here. He stomped on the ground.

"If they dare to come, give them some color see-see." A second lieutenant in his early twenties shouted excitedly.

Ma Angelica nodded in recognition of Ma Jin's words, but he had to be cautious when it came to life and death. "Captain Han, your reconnaissance team will immediately set up some observation posts on the seashores of Fuyong, Xixiang, Shekou and other places to closely monitor the movement of the sea, and immediately report to the command if it finds a British warship."

"Yes, I will personally lead the team to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Han Jialang, a former special combat member of the National Army, replied cleanly.

Ma Angelica looked at Political Commissar Shen again, "Old Shen, is that thing of yours ready?" ”

"I slept for three hours last night, and I managed to make four. This morning we tested an effect that fully met the requirements of the mission. "When answering questions, don't forget to show merit. In the original space, he has the qualifications of an electrician technician, and he has no problem making a few simple electronic devices.

Zhang Anbang saw that Ma Angelica's gaze moved to his body again, and without waiting for the other party to ask, he began to present: "The speedboat detachment is stepping up training, but it has only practiced live firing once. Everyone knows that the speed of the speedboat is so fast, and there are wind and waves on the sea, it is difficult to grasp the accuracy! ”

"You go to the logistics department to get some more ammunition, just say what I said, and let them give you eight more rounds. Now is not the time to economize, if you can't complete the task, you will end up losing the battle and everything will be done. You're telling them to get things right! "I have been holding military power for some days, and Ma Angelica's tone of voice has gradually become more and more decisive.

With the support of the commander, Zhang Anbang believes that the problem can be solved. "Yes! If the navy does not succeed, it will be benevolent. Zhang Anbang expressed his determination on behalf of the Navy.

Lu Renjia and Nanren both looked at each other and laughed when they heard this.

"Sister Nan, don't laugh! They won't be able to make you even if they don't succeed! Ma Angelica quipped when he saw the smile on the corner of Nanren's mouth, and then asked. How's your preparation? ”

Before Nanren could answer Ma Angelica's question, Zhuang Xue'er began to complain instead. "None of the hundreds of big men are useful, and they need two girls to complete such a dangerous task?! Is...... Tsk......" sighed as she shook her delicate head.

"It's not for you to go!" Ma Jin muttered quietly. The fact that two female compatriots came to the combat meeting had already made some machismo talk a lot. In their thinking, war should make women go away. Nanren is better, she is already a member of the army system, and she is also responsible for a major task, so it makes sense to come to the combat meeting. Zhuang Xue'er got it up by herself. As soon as the conflict with the British began, she asked to join the army, not only found a women's uniform to wear, but also gave herself the rank of lieutenant. Out of consideration for the emotions of the female compatriots, the management committee posthumously recognized it, which made the male compatriots with the rank of second lieutenant embarrassed. However, Zhuang Xueer has always done her own thing, and Ma Jin's muttering only made her two eyes.

Nanren took Zhuang Xue'er's hand, signaled the latter to be calm, and then answered Ma Angelica's question. "I don't have a problem, just do a bit of acclimatization and get the job done. I'm more worried about Fanfan, after all, this mission is very dangerous, and she is a seventeen-year-old girl, I guess it's enough to choke. ”

"You can do a good job of counseling her and let her relax. At the same time, tell her the importance of this mission, so that she can understand that the hope of more than 500 of us is pinned on her alone. Originally, this kind of political and ideological work was Shen Xing's forte, but because the object was a little girl, in order to avoid suspicion, he had to hand over the work to Nanren.

"I'm afraid that after telling her, she will be burdened with mental baggage." Nanren was a little embarrassed, it was a cruel thing to let a seventeen-year-old girl face danger alone.

"It doesn't matter, the psychological quality of the post-90s generation is still very strong, we have to believe her. Besides, with that half-year experience, I don't think there should be anything to scare her anymore. Shen Xingshi's words resonated with everyone, who here did not survive the environment of nine deaths and one life, even the little girl in Nanren's mouth has experience in fighting mutants.

"You have to make it clear to her that if you are bold and careful, you will be able to complete this task. When the time comes, we will also assist in making some moves to attract the attention of the British, so that she can complete the task more safely. Chen Shanglong also cheered Nanren up. That's all you can do, after all, there are only two of them who can use a special skill, and the others can only watch from the sidelines.

"Alright! I'll try to find a way to soothe her emotions, but I'm not sure if it will work. Nanren also knew that there was no way to do it, so he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

Zhuang Xueer also wanted to help her good sisters, so she volunteered. "I'll go with you in a moment."

Seeing that the biggest problem seemed to be solved, Ma Angelica breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was the first time to organize a large-scale battle with normal people. "Let's see if there's anything else to add?"

"It's already triple insured, and if it can't be done, then I can only say that the British are guys who wear their underwear outside." Chief of Staff Chen said with confidence, you must know that most of the battle plan is his idea, if Ma Angelica is the director, he is the screenwriter. Everyone else shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem.

Ma Angelica was about to announce the adjournment when a soldier walked into the tent. "Report, Kowloon Column Enemy Situation Report." Ma Angelica took the report and began to read the contents of the report aloud to everyone present. "Former enemy commanders Ma, Shen, and Chen: Since receiving orders from our superiors, our unit has been actively preparing for war, and we dare not relax at all. By 1 p.m. today, an enemy warship entered the waters of Hong Kong. docked at the Hong Kong Island Pier at 2:10; At four o'clock, the enemy's warships launched a tentative artillery bombardment of our positions...... It was not until 5:40 a.m. that the shelling ended, and the enemy ships fired more than 200 shells, destroying many barbed wire fences in front of the positions, and not a single casualty among our troops. Some of the enemy's troops boarded small boats, pretended to be intent on landing, and ran back before they had crossed the center of the channel. Our department thought that this was a British ploy, so they only made a warning and did not attack. The enemy warships then withdrew to the dock and did not make any further action. All the officers and men of our unit reassured the leaders of the former enemy headquarters, Ma, Shen, and Chen, that our unit was determined to hold its position and destroy all the invading enemies. ”

After reading the report, Ma Angelica slapped the report on the table. "Comrades, the battle has begun, and the moment has come to decide the fate of us and the entire Chinese nation. For the sake of our collective power to survive in the new time and space, and for the power of our entire Chinese nation to rise again, I hope that everyone will unite as one, overcome all difficulties, and meet greater challenges......"

"The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom, fight here!" Ma Jin suddenly shouted such a sentence, which disturbed the serious atmosphere that had finally formed in the tent, and Ma Angelica was so angry that he wanted to beat people, and Ma Jin saw that the situation was not right, and ran away.
