Chapter 239 239 Remake?
The armored units, cavalry units, and artillery units of the British troops stationed in Hong Kong were all stationed after the 70s, and the British troops stationed in Hong Kong were mainly composed of army infantry. In addition to the four Gurkha regiments that have been squatting here since the war (one regiment had two battalions in the beginning, and later reduced to one battalion, at this time the 2nd Califle Rifle Regiment directly under King Edward VII and the 7th Califle Spear Regiment under the Duke of Edinburgh still maintained one corps and two battalions), one battalion of the British army came to garrison here every three years, and the actual total number of British combatants was in the early 2,000s.
Although the number is not large, it is also relative to whom. The "rebel army" still doesn't know how the road was pulled, although a lot of police equipment was obtained by storming the police building, and there is still a mess I don't know how the road was brought in, but the number is also small, and there is a group of enthusiastic citizens who are not afraid of death, so there is very little that can be done.
What the "rebels" can do now is to guard the police building and the governor's palace and wait for a "miracle".
A group of Gurkha soldiers arrived at the scene of the incident in military vehicles, where there were still tens of thousands of people who had not had time to evacuate. When the group of marchers was discovered, the Gurkha soldiers were highly nervous.
"The rioters are hiding among these people, always watch out for their sneak attacks, these people are rebels and unstables, keep them under control!" The British officer immediately gave the order.
The Gurkha people have always been known for their bravery and good fighting, and they are exceptionally unafraid of death and extremely loyal. They themselves are not Hong Kongers, let alone Chinese, so they will only work for their employers, even if the employer's orders are unreasonable. The Gurkha soldiers, who received the order, surrounded the marchers who had not had time to withdraw like wolves, treating the unarmed inhabitants like prisoners.
Some citizens expressed their indignation and protested against them, but the Gurkhas directly hit them on the head with the butts of their guns. Kicking or boxing is light at every turn, and for them, the policeman's "Hello Citizens" thing can't be learned. What's more, even many Gurkha people don't know much Cantonese, so communication between the two sides is not smooth.
After some turmoil, the British officers also discovered that these people were ordinary marchers, and there were no dangerous people with murder weapons in them, and it was very difficult for them to control so many tens of thousands of people, and finally chose to drive them away. However, the process was still not so friendly, and even some injured people appeared, and everyone dared to be angry at these gun-wielding Gurkhas, so they could only slowly evacuate the scene under the command of volunteers.
The heavier fighting took place at the police building, where the British mobilized an entire battalion of troops and launched an attack on the building. Luo Chao and Huang Zhonghe entered the area before the battle, because of the shortage of guns, they were responsible for delivering supplies to the "rebel soldiers" who used the guns.
There were gunshots outside, Huang Zhonghe and Luo Chao were both pale, and no one was involved in such a thing without thinking, and now it's too late to regret it.
"If the Yakis come in, we will be arrested as rebels, right? No, even we will be killed on the spot. Huang Zhonghe's body trembled involuntarily, obviously frightened.
Luo Chao patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "It's all come to this point, let's fight to the death, what do you think, those soldiers who are fighting with the Gaza are all so powerful, not to mention whether the Gaza can get in, the person who planned this matter is absolutely impossible to be anticlimactic, the matter has been provoked, it will naturally continue, we are just in a trough now, there will be greater changes." ”
Huang Zhonghe calmed down a little and said, "You mean that the people from the north will send troops?" ”
"Those eight achievements who provoke trouble are their soldiers, and they are probably still fierce characters such as special forces. After that, if you really want to control Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories, you can't rely on these 100 special forces alone, and they are not Nezha with three heads and six arms. I'm sure the north will send a real army over later. We are only one street away from the mainland, and the mainland is separated from Malaysia by the entire South China Sea, so why don't we come? ”
Because they stood in line too quickly, the two college students were considered to have gotten on the TG thief ship. Huang Zhonghe's eyes lit up, and he said: "What you said makes sense, Malaysia was attacked because of the anti-Chinese behavior of the locals, and as a result, the mainland sent troops over the next morning, and we are so close to the mainland, maybe someone will come to rescue us in a few hours." ”
Luo Chao nodded and said, "Did you say that the situation in Malaysia is similar to ours here?" ”
The two looked at each other and didn't continue, they were considered "rebel soldiers", and it was not a good thing to guess that there were some of them.
The fighting became more intense, and judging from the fighting, it was impossible to believe that the people guarding the building were local citizens who had spontaneously rebelled. They were clearly all well versed in their work, and chose the best position, and the British repeatedly attacked several entrances, only to be repulsed by a less violent, but extremely effective counterfire. Annoyed Gurkha soldiers even set up bazookas to bombard the police building's fire. After suffering certain losses, the building's defenses became weak, and the entire defense line was crumbling.
A short-haired man in a T-shirt ran up to Huang Luo and the others, threw down two pistols and a few magazines, and told them in stiff but fluent Cantonese: "Comrades can't stop it, the ghosts are going to attack, take the good guys, find a good position for us to fight back in the corridor, and let every staircase and every inch of road make them bleed!" ”
The first time the two older boys touched the gun, there was no excitement as they imagined, it was all nervousness and fear. This person was obviously from the mainland, and he called the two guys comrades, and of course maybe the local leftists.
Huang Zhonghe hesitated a little, he wanted to ask why he couldn't surrender to the British army, but Luo Chao, who saw what he meant, grabbed him, and Luo Chao hurriedly asked, "When will our reinforcements arrive?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment when he heard Luo Chao's words, then smiled and said, "You kid is still very smart, hold on for another half an hour, and soon our airborne troops will arrive." When the time comes, let these dogs who are not good at staying in the Himalayas and grow barley look good! ”
Hearing that there were indeed reinforcements, the two breathed a sigh of relief, and Huang Zhonghe thought to himself that if he hid well, maybe he didn't have to exchange fire with the British army, and when the PLA attacked, they would naturally be saved, and they could become "revolutionary heroes" or something by the way.
After the man explained, he left with a bag of weapons, and it seemed that he was going to give them to others. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Keep your mouth shut, and don't say anything you shouldn't say in the future." When this is over, your future is secured! ”
When Huang Zhonghe heard this, he immediately saluted a non-standard military salute and said, "Yes, sir." ”
Nor correcting his title mistakes, the man smiled and walked away.
Huang Zhonghe took the pistol and became excited, he has always been very enthusiastic about political and social movements, hoping to enter politics. But it is clear that at this time, Hong Kong and Britain provided too few political rights to the locals, and there were not many Chinese legislators. Although Huang Zhonghe's family is middle-class, it is still difficult to support him to become a politician, and if he can hug CPC's thigh through this incident, then his dream of becoming a legislator in the future is likely to come true.
Luo Chao knew what Huang Zhonghe was thinking, and shook his head with a wry smile, his friend was really an official fan. He leaned against the corner, suddenly a little confused about the future. Accustomed to the fact that Hong Kong is full of British privileges, how will those from the north rule it in the future? He was a very practical person, and he didn't have any big ambitions, and he wasn't even sure what kind of career he would pursue in the future. But a turbulent hometown was clearly something he didn't want to see.
Luo Chao doesn't have anything like democracy and republic in his head, and he also looks very lightly on ideology, voting rights and human rights, etc., he is just playing a Haluha, like many ordinary Hong Kong people, hoping that prices will be lower, salaries will be higher, and he can make money by betting on horses or winning the Mark Six lottery, and occasionally have money to go to Macau to gamble or invest in the stock market. Buy a cheap house, marry a wife who is not ugly, and give birth to a bunch of small road boys.
"I hope the future will be better." Luo Chao thought so, and soon he emptied his brain, held his breath, and prepared to deal with the British army that burst in.
Perhaps it was a stroke of luck that at the moment when the British finally broke through the main entrance of the police building, a Wuzhi-10 flew from the sky and fired a rocket at the group of Gurkha soldiers.
The man was still wrong just now, and the first to arrive was not the airborne troops of the Air Force, but the marines of the Navy. The Shangri-La amphibious assault ship left its home port of Sanya two days ago and was cruising off the coast of Guangzhou Bay under the pretext of routine training. The Twin Blades and Z-20s carried more than 500 Marines to land vertically on Hong Kong Island.
Proving that this operation was by no means accidental, several Type 726 hovercraft coming from the Guangzhou Port at high speed, with sickle mecha and Type 09 infantry fighting vehicles, arrived. The Marines not only landed from the sea, but also broke through the British troops defending Zhongying Street from the land, and the two regiments of heavily armed marines drove Type 05 amphibious combat vehicles to break through the British border and approach Hong Kong and Kowloon.
Because of the weather, the airborne troops of the Air Force were a little slower, but there was no delay. The two airborne regiments of the "emergency transfer" were carried by the Y-20 and Y-9 and paratrooper fighting vehicles.
In the past six hours of "the British government in Hong Kong brutally suppressed the marching masses", in order to protect Hong Kong compatriots, the PLA urgently dispatched 7,000 soldiers, 20 helicopters, 10 hovercraft, 53 combat vehicles, and 15 mechs to Hong Kong.
This is simply a replica of the Malaysian Chinese humanitarian crisis, which has made many people fall through their glasses and scold Chinese for being ugly. What's even more messy is that at the same time that the PLA landed on Hong Kong Island, Queen Elizabeth II delivered a speech at Buckingham Palace, saying that she did not want to see the war continue.
The situation has become even more treacherous.
