Fortunately, the mortar platoon did not make him wait too long, and twenty minutes later, two mortars were erected in the open field. At a distance of less than three hundred meters, it is a piece of cake for artillerymen who have already been trained in real combat. The shooting was quickly adjusted, and then the fire and explosions descended on the British position.

Seeing the Chinese erecting a strange small-caliber mortar at the bottom of the mountain, the British troops on the mountain showed a trace of panic. Although the British army suffered for 60 years during this time, many people had never seen its true face, and the captain who led the team instinctively felt the danger. He tried to get the soldiers to throw stones down the mountain, but unfortunately there was no Hercules in the British army, and no one could throw a stone the size of a watermelon hundreds of meters away, and even if it rolled down the mountain, it would be blocked by vegetation in the middle. As a result, the British troops on the hill could only watch the survivors set up artillery, measure range, load ammunition, and fire.

After three rapid fires, the British positions on the hill immediately burst into flames. The Indian soldiers couldn't bear it at first, so they threw down their weapons and fled, and the captain killed two people with a pistol but could not stop the fleeing crowd. The mood of the British also fluctuated, and the captain encouraged and intimidated the defense line from collapsing. However, the six shells also killed and wounded them, and they were cut in half at once, and the groans of the wounded tormented the other nerves.

At the same time as the mortars began to fire, the survivors' death squads again charged the hilltop, and the heavy machine guns began to suppress the fire, leaving the British without a chance to shoot. This time, instead of going up the mountain road, they climbed up the slope of the hill with a slope of more than 40 degrees at a distance of a few meters from each person. By the time the third wave of shells exploded at the top of the hill, the advance of the death squad was less than a hundred meters from the target. At the forefront was the commander of the 2nd Company, who held a Type 56 automatic rifle and struggled to climb while occasionally firing at suspicious targets. Seeing that victory was in sight, the British forces were so suppressed by mortar and machine guns that they could not raise their heads, and there were still dozens of meters to rush to the top of the mountain, and several bundles of lit large "firecrackers" were thrown down. The commander of the second company only had time to shout, "Beware of bombs!" One of the bundles landed at his feet. Born as a veteran, he was a bold man with his feet, stepped on the burning lead of the "Zizi", and twisted it vigorously, and the bundle of big "firecrackers" lost its effectiveness. The others were not as calm as him, either scattering to dodge, or picking up and throwing them where no one was, and for a while the attacking front line became chaotic. The commander of the second company plucked an oval grenade from his chest, took a few steps upward, and threw the iron sweet potato into the position of the British troops.

Before the smoke of the grenade explosion had dissipated, the commander of the second company of Jiao led people to rush to the top of the mountain, because the first target was obvious, and he was treated by concentrated fire as soon as he came out of half of his body. When the two bullets in his chest turned him into a "flat sand and falling geese" style, although the steel body armor canceled out most of the kinetic energy of the bullets, it still shook him to the chest. Ignoring the pain, he replied with a bullet, and blood flowers erupted on the chests of several British soldiers. More and more survivors rushed to the top of the hill, the British army did not have an advantage in terms of numbers or firepower, the officers were shot and killed at the first time, and the defense line collapsed instantly. Some who wanted to surrender were also given no chance, and were killed by the survivors who were bent on revenge. The last few turned and fled down the hill, but their exposed backs became the best targets, and they didn't get far before they were overtaken by the bullets.

From the beginning of the mortar fire to the end of the battle, a total of 17 minutes, the British troops guarding the top of the hill were all "killed" except for the fleeing Indian soldiers, and some British people who were injured and incapacitated in the shelling were also ended by the survivors with bayonets. At this time, the commander of the second company had time to take off his body armor and untie his shirt, he found that his chest was red, and he stretched out his fingers and pressed it, except for a little pain, but it did not hurt his bones. Seeing that the British troops on the beach a few kilometers down the mountain were still on board, he sat on a big rock, "Rest for a while!" Wait for the eight steps to come up. Also, let the artillery platoon come up quickly! ”

Although it was a few kilometers away, Spintozzi could hear the battle at the top of the hill clearly, and when the gunfire stopped, he also knew that the troops defending Banner Hill might be finished. Not long after, the fleeing Indian soldier returned to the retreat field, and he received definite news. After listening to the accounts of these deserters, he did not hold these dozen Ah San responsible, but let them get on the boat and leave. After the last dinghy was offshore, the general began to retreat to the Stanley barracks with the remaining two thousand people. He did this because this retreat had been discovered by the air force of the Liberation Army, and the planes would attack at any time, and it was also a great threat to the warships at sea; The second is because the defense line on the hill has collapsed, and retreating to Stanley can rely on the military camp to hold on. Moreover, there was a retreat ground at Stanley Barracks, from which the British troops on the east side of Hong Kong Island were preparing to evacuate.

Stanley Peninsula is a major peninsula in Hong Kong, located in the southeastern part of Hong Kong Island, between Stanley Bay and Tai Tam Bay, and connected to Hong Kong Island in the vicinity of Tung Tau Bay. Stanley Barracks is located in the southern part of the peninsula, built on a hill and strategically located on three sides, surrounded by the sea on three sides, facing Lamma Island. At this time, there were still more than 1,000 British troops in the barracks, and Spintozi withdrew here with 2,000 men, and instead of choosing the narrow terrain of Dongtou Bay, he reconstructed a solid defensive line on the hill to the south, and several fortress shore defense guns also turned their guns to land. At the same time, several warships cruised around the nearby island of Luozhou, ready to provide fire support to the defenders at any time. At Jute Point at the top of the peninsula, the retreat was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Davis repeatedly asked Spintozi to get on board first, but the admiral refused on the grounds that "I am the commander-in-chief of the garrison, and I am responsible for bringing these young men home, and I am the last to get on board."

The 2nd Infantry Company and the 8th Infantry Company of the 2nd Infantry Company and the 1st Infantry 9th Company of the 3rd Infantry Company from the east arrived at Dongtou Bay at the end of the Stanley Peninsula at about the same time, avoiding the British warships on the sea to the east, and cautiously advanced to St. Stephen's Beach. At this time, it was past noon, and the troops began to pursue without breakfast, running more than ten miles of mountain roads, and fighting fiercely one after another, and the commanders and fighters were tired and hungry. So except for arranging for a platoon of the 3rd Company to go out to monitor the British, the rest of the troops rested on the spot, and everyone took out their last reserves, compressed biscuits, to satisfy their hunger. Most of the survivors hated the strange, dry, hard taste, but most of the indigenous soldiers were not picky eaters, and ate with relish.

Before a biscuit could be eaten, the "Hornet" tracked down again, this time to deal with the British warship, Wang Li specially carried four incendiary bombs. However, when the British land defense line was visible, the target of this attack had to be re-selected. After communicating with the former enemy headquarters, the "Hornet" targeted two fortified batteries on the periphery of the Stanley barracks.

The two batteries were two small hills to the north of the barracks, each with two 24-pounder cannons, which were mainly used to guard the coast on either side, but at this time all the muzzles were facing north. After determining the target, the "Hornet" roared towards the battery. Seeing the planes rushing towards them, there was a moment of confusion among the British troops on the battery, but the honor of the soldiers and the long training kept them from escaping. Of course, they have been staying in this remote place, and the fact that they have not seen the way the planes attack is also a reason. Although some of the British soldiers who had been on the front line began to shoot with rifles, they could not stop the Grim Reaper. The Chinese army, which had anti-aircraft guns in the Anti-Japanese War, was so badly abused by Japanese planes, not to mention the British army in the 19th century, who only fired guns. The "Hornet" swept over the western battery, and the incendiary bombs landed on the battery in free fall, and the gasoline and accelerant immediately turned into a huge fireball, engulfing the two British soldiers and igniting the gunpowder on the gun emplacement. Then there was the explosion, and the entire battery was surrounded by flames, and everything on the battery, whether it was a hard gun body or a soft human body, was torn to shreds. The British troops who had stayed nearby were also hit by the fish, either smashed by the flying masonry or burned by the splashing flames. The "Hornet" made a U-turn over the barracks and again attacked the eastern battery. Before the British troops on the east side of the battery could react to the fire of the west battery, they immediately followed in their footsteps.

In just three minutes, the last of the British army's support was destroyed. Looking at the two large "bonfires" behind him, and listening to the dying screams coming from the flames, the British soldiers on the defense line felt a chill in their hearts, not knowing when bad luck would befall them. Seeing that the two batteries had collapsed and the two biggest threats had been solved, the commander of the second company threw away the half-eaten compressed biscuits in his hand, jumped to the side of the armored car in a few steps, and shouted at the crew members who were still watching the "fireworks": "Quick, quick, attack!" "The armored car chased behind the British today and did not catch anything. Because the British destroyed the road during the retreat, they chased Stanley at noon (at this time, the other road was blocked in the middle of the road by a landslide caused by British explosives, and the infantry was still waiting to clear the passage). As soon as the commander of the second company shouted "attack," regardless of whether he had command or not, the crew members immediately launched their vehicles and launched an attack on the British defense line. The commander of the second company followed closely behind with a platoon, slowly walking towards the British line on the hillside.

Without the heavy artillery of the British, the twelve-pounder mountain grenades on the military line could not be used by the armored vehicles, whether they were live ammunition, grenades or shotguns, they were easily bounced away. The armored vehicles soon approached the British lines, and the machine guns began to wreak havoc on the British behind the bunkers, while the British soldiers could only shoot in vain with rifles, and were quickly cut in half by the large-caliber bullets of the machine guns. Some turned and fled, and soon fell into the dust. A British soldier rushed down with a barrel of gunpowder, ready to act as a suicide bomber, but before he could reach him, he was set on fire by the infantry who followed, and then torn apart by the powder keg. The British soldiers were so overwhelmed by the automatic fire of the survivors that they could not raise their heads, and when the infantry came up, they threw a batch of grenades behind the bunkers, and many of the guys who hid and prepared to be in the shadows also died. This also became the last straw that crushed the British army, and the defense line collapsed in an instant, and not only the Indian soldiers, but even the British soldiers also joined the ranks of the escape. Moreover, the crowd also disrupted the two lines of defense behind it, so that Spintozzi's abacus of resistance could not be beaten. During this period, the two gunboats, which were supposed to provide fire support, were busy playing a cat-and-mouse game with the "Bumblebee". Because of the losses suffered too much in the fight with the aircraft, the fleet instituted a system of "no stacking ammunition on the gun deck." It is better to abandon the speed of artillery fire than to allow aircraft to sink warships again. So the two incendiary bombs of the Hornet hit the target, but they did not achieve good results, and the fire was quickly extinguished by the British. However, by the time the Bumblebee ran out of ammunition and flew away, the British line could no longer do anything.

The British Army desperately fled to the retreat field, except for one company that leaned on the barracks to delay the attack of the Liberation Army for ten minutes, and the Liberation Army was like a bamboo, and finally more than 2,000 British troops were driven to the retreat by more than 500 Liberation troops and an armored car. The empty beach was uncovered, and the Liberation Army relied on the advantage of firepower and range to continuously shoot the British troops, and from time to time mortar shells fell, causing great casualties to the British troops who were huddled together, but the British shooting could not hurt the Liberation Army hiding in the woods on the hillside. And after the mortars sank two boats, no matter how the people on the shore urged and cursed, they no longer dared to approach here.
