Churchill's loss of control made the bigwigs tremble one by one. They knew that Malaysia was more than well defended, and it was unrealistic to pull out troops to fight a naval battle, and that there were a total of six destroyers and four light cruisers, which were not enough to resist the Japanese fleet, and unless the battleships and aircraft carriers on the mainland arrived, how much would be sunk if they were not at all. As for the four light aircraft carriers there, it's not easy to do, it's just a target.

Churchill slowly extinguished his anger in the horror of the crowd, and he waved his hand to let the adjutant who did not know whether he had given the order or not, let out a long sigh, and sat down.

Churchill urgently analyzed the situation, he understood the intentions of the Japanese army too well, they were obviously pretending to be confused, and it was pure nonsense to say that they could not contact that team, and that the attack on Hong Kong was for the sake of unblocking the shipping lane. After all, there were warships and submarines there, and once they went to Vietnam to meet that force, they had to guard against the cutting off of the shipping route, so they attacked Hong Kong and cleared the roadblocks.

"Let's talk about it, Hong Kong can hold out for three days at most, and it is destined to fall after three days, what is the best way for you to solve this dilemma?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, it's hard to come up with a joint plan.

The distance between Hong Kong and Malaysia is not short, even Zheng Yuan, when he arrives, he will fall. Besides, how could the Japanese army not be ready to intercept? That was a naval battle. However, Malaysia's naval strength was not enough to compete with Japan, so sending troops only increased casualties, and could not relieve the siege of Hong Kong at all.

As for inviting the United States to go to war, not to mention that the United States will not go to war, even if it does, there are not many warships in Luzon, and it will not be able to stop the Japanese fleet. If reinforcements come from Hawaii, there will be no whip commander. When it arrives, it will be a recapture, not a defensive solution.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Churchill frowned with a headache, and was about to reprimand, when he suddenly remembered something, and turned his brows to relax, "How about we ask the advance army to help?" ”

Advance Army?

The crowd looked at each other again. The advance army is a Chinese army. Hong Kong is the territory of the original China, so will they withdraw when they come?

But everyone couldn't think of any way to solve it, only where the advance army in Shanghai and where the advance army on Hainan Island arrived in Hong Kong the fastest, and two days was enough.

At this time, Churchill could no longer think of a better way, and when he saw that everyone did not speak, he ordered Henry, so that Henry could find the person in charge of Shanghai and ask for military support. The conditions are easy to say. Anyway, the advance army is going to fight Japan, and they will not even invade the concession, and if they believe that there is a treaty in Hong Kong, there should be no situation of luring wolves into the house.

Henry received the telegram and hurriedly found Zhao Liqiang, wanting to contact Dong Ku through him to see if he could ask Dong Ku to send troops.

He doesn't know there anymore, but there is a person here who has the final say for a few days?

When he saw the Willow Defeat City. Pressed the surprise and explained the intention in detail.

What surprised him. Liu Yucheng took the case: "Japan, this crumb, still dares to set foot on Chinese soil!" It's leased by your British Empire, but it's Chinese territory! Ambassador Henry, don't talk about your relationship with our captain, even if you don't, our army will not sit idly by. What's more, your relationship is still so good, don't worry, I will send troops to attack and destroy the invading enemy! ”

"Thank you so much......"

Henry always felt that something was missing, but he didn't have time to ask. Liu had ordered twenty divisions to rush to Hong Kong to assist the British in defeating the Japanese army.

When Henry heard the word help, he felt reassured. It seems that the advance army will abide by the previous treaty and will not interfere in the affairs between the political axes.

While he was relieved, he secretly laughed at this old man, and he didn't even talk about the conditions, so he directly ordered the troops.

Looks like you can save a fortune......

He pondered to himself, chatted for a while, put down the gift he brought to Dong Ku and the gold brick prepared for Zhao Liqiang, which changed hands to Liu Chengcheng, and then left.

Seeing Henry away, Zhao Liqiang asked puzzledly: "Sir, are we really going to send troops?" ”

"Get out! Of course, we have to send troops, and we must send troops as soon as possible. ”

Liu Yucheng stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhao Liqiang pondered for a moment, puzzled by what he meant, but did not ask again. There is Dong Ku here, and the one who can command is Liu Luocheng, and the others including Liu Zhong and Sun Tao are not there, even if they are here, Liu Luocheng's order is also the first.

He was surprised that when Liu Yucheng ordered the troops to attack, the gesture of waving his hand was mixed with gestures that were not conveyed.

But he didn't hold back for too long, and Liu Yucheng gave the answer.

"Herald! The telegram ordered Qu Jiangang's mechanized troops of Sun Tao's division to march to Guangzhou in a hurry, all trains were activated, helicopters were concentrated, and the infantry was transported to arrive first, ready to attack at any time, but not to get close to Guangzhou, just waiting for orders at Heyuan. ”

"Yes!"

The adjutant standing on one side was ordered to record the message.

After giving the order, Liu Yucheng said with a smile: "I thought it would take half a month, but I didn't expect the Japanese to be more responsible and bold than I thought, so I started it in just two days." As for the relief of the siege, we can just look at the excitement, after the victory of the Japanese army, we can't wait for them to talk about the property to be transported away, the planes will occupy the air supremacy first, leaving the Japanese troops and property there, and Hong Kong will be ours! ”

"Mr. means ......"

Zhao Liqiang seemed to understand what he meant.

"Ha Lu Ha! Assist, stay there and discuss with the British, and when the British lose, we will take it back from Japan, then I am embarrassed, I want to negotiate and avoid talking! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!"

Zhao Liqiang completely understands that Liu Defeated City is both a place and a money! As long as the planes blockade and drive away the warships, and the coastal defense guns are on board, the Japanese troops entering Hong Kong will be turtles in an urn, and they will have to leave behind their belongings.

Of course, Henry didn't know what to do with the march of the army, and the reason why Liu Defeated City let Qu Jun not rush to it first was that there was artillery, and when Qu Jun arrived, Hainan could transport tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and long-range artillery, but it was only a few hundred kilometers, and it didn't take long.

After receiving the telegram order, Qu Jun just did not put down his baggage, quickly moved forward lightly, and rushed to the place where there was a railway by truck all the way, and went straight to Shanghai.

Only three or four thousand planes were collected and took off with a roar, flying overwhelmingly towards Guangdong.

One plane can carry ten people, and four thousand planes can carry more than 40,000 people, so Qu Jungang can transport them in two trips. When the other part arrives in Shanghai, the helicopter can pick them up directly in front of Shanghai and complete the delivery before dark.

Churchill received a report from Henry that the advance army had promised to send troops to assist them, and according to the informant, a large number of advance army mechanical units set out from Shanghai, and the target was precisely the direction of Guangzhou, apparently fulfilling the promise and going to support.

He let out a sigh when he got the debriefing. In this way, as long as Hong Kong holds out for two days, it can receive support and will not be lost. Moreover, the Japanese army will have great losses in the hatred of the advance army.

In Shanghai, a team of trucks, armored vehicles, and tanks left and headed straight for Hangzhou, which stretched for several kilometers and was covered with smoke and dust.

But they knew there that these trucks were full of recruits, and there were more than 50,000 recruits who had just put on their uniforms.

These recruits are not going to fight, they haven't even touched a gun, they are there to train, before the advance army attacked Shanghai, they were trained at the training ground west of Hangzhou.

But the trucks were covered with cloth, and I could only vaguely see soldiers in the cars, but I couldn't tell whether they were recruits or veterans. The spies who were keeping an eye on the advance army naturally didn't know that this was just a recruit who went to the shooting range.

In Hong Kong, the fighting was particularly fierce at this time, for no other reason, the commander there received a telegram from Churchill, telling them to hold out for three days, and within two days, the reinforcements of the advance army could arrive, and now they have all left Shanghai, and are rushing to Guangzhou.

The commander of the British army knew that the speed of the advance army could reach 50 kilometers in an hour. And this road does not need to build bridges and roads, the road has been built last year and is spacious and accessible, and 50 kilometers can definitely be guaranteed. So, what Churchill said for two days was conservative. It's only 1,500 kilometers, and you can definitely get there in two days.

Reinforcements were coming, and the British army's resistance instantly became fierce, and they fought for positions with the Japanese army several times, and fought back and forth.

The battle, at this moment, was white-hot, the Japanese attack suffered heavy losses, although they took advantage of the sneak attack, but did not praise the British army. The British army, who had hope, also fought bravely, which made the Japanese commander very depressed.

As a result, the aircraft and naval guns were concentrated in several main positions of the attack, and in the loud roar, shells and bombs rained down.

Not to be outdone, the British army roared with artillery fire and resolutely resisted, so that the Japanese army did not take a step forward, and they had to pay the price of blood.

The Japanese army was not worried about reinforcements from Malacca, and they were still planning to annihilate some of the British warships, as long as the British reinforcements were made, the waiting aircraft carrier battle group would leave all the ships that came to reinforce it.

Therefore, the strong resistance of the British army did not make the Japanese army anxious, they did not plan to take Hong Kong quickly, it didn't matter if it was two or three days, they would be used as an encirclement point to send reinforcements.

Seeing the fierce resistance of the British, the Japanese increased the intensity of the artillery bombardment and bombardment of the warships, and at the same time they began to clear the islands around Hong Kong and began to control all the waters around Hong Kong.

There were British troops on the islands, but their numbers were too small to resist the Japanese attack, and during the great battle in Hong Kong, the islands fell one after another and became the territory of the Japanese.

The British could no longer care about the island, and they concentrated all their strength and tried desperately to block it. Although they suffered heavy damage, they were supported by the hope of reinforcements coming, and their combat effectiveness had been completely stimulated, almost regardless of life and death, and the Japanese attack was also heavily damaged.
