Chapter 824: Fierce Battle in Hong Kong

Pressing these trivialities aside, the fighting here in Hong Kong has entered a white heat.

Shek O and Stanley are the main attack directions, and the fighting here is particularly fierce.

In charge of attacking Shek O was Yamada Kumaichi, who commanded the strength of a division and launched a fierce attack on Shek O instead of opening six routes.

"Your Excellency, General!"

In the sound of the cannon, a large Zuo stood in front of Kumaichi Yamada with a face full of gunsmoke.

"Say!"

Yamada Xiong raised his binoculars and looked at the smoke and fire in the distance, and said without looking back.

"Your Excellency, the British army is resisting very stubbornly, if we want to capture the position, do we need to change the attack plan......" The big Zuo asked cautiously.

"Huh?"

Kumaichi Yamada's eyes left the binoculars, turned his head and looked at the big Zuo coldly, paused, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Say!" ”

"Your Excellency, General."

The big man stood even more straight, and said in a formal manner: "Our department has suffered heavy damage, is it better to use the superior air force and naval artillery to destroy the frontal defensive position first, and break through a little?" ”

Yamada Kumaichi looked at the gunpowder smoke on his face, the frost on his face eased a little, and slowly asked, "If you are given four warships and thirty planes, how long will it take for you to take the frontal position?" ”

"Your Excellency General, give me an hour, I can fight the opposite position!" The big one stood up and shouted loudly.

"Good!"

Yamada Xiong's eyes flashed, and then he said: "I'll give you an hour and a half, fifteen minutes to prepare, and I'll be on that position in an hour and a half, otherwise, you can apologize directly!" ”

"Hayi!"

The leader of the Great Zodiac commanded, and then turned and left.

Ten minutes later, a large number of shells were whistling on the sea, rumbling past the blocked Japanese troops on the beach. Straight to the British positions three or four kilometers ahead.

At the same time, 25 bombers took off from the aircraft carrier, escorted by five fighters, and swooped down on the British positions in the smoke of gunfire.

There were two divisions of the British army here, they desperately resisted, and their combat effectiveness was brave and fierce, and the Japanese army in front of their position once rushed to forty or fifty meters. They were all stubbornly repulsed.

In the trenches, the British soldiers were covered in gunpowder smoke and dust, and their faces could not distinguish the appearance of people, and they were all covered by smoke and dust. But they lay in the trenches, and there was no fear in the slightest.

"Shelling!!"

A British soldier shouted.

With his shout, the whistling of cannonballs came.

One by one, the British quickly left their combat positions and hid in the back of the artillery holes, where two or three people huddled together, holding their ears with their hands. Wait for the shells to fall.

Rumble!

There was an earth-shattering bang, and the dust and sand immediately flew up dozens of meters high, gushing radially.

The enemy trembled violently, and then the dirt of the anti-artillery hole rolled down, and the British troops who fell were all over their heads.

Naval gun!

Everyone's hearts sank, they felt that this was not a small-caliber artillery, this was the effect of more than 300 large-caliber artillery.

They guessed correctly, the falling shell was the 36-caliber cannon on the Japanese battleship. As soon as the cannon came down, a large crater with a diameter of twenty or thirty meters appeared. Even if the vicinity was not directly affected by the shock wave, the British troops were also killed.

The first shell was fired more than 300 meters from the position, and in less than three minutes, Tina whimpered in the air, and with it, a large number of shells flew.

The earth trembled with a loud bang. The British were either killed in the violent explosion or buried in the collapsed earth.

The trenches, which were wiped out in just a few minutes, were buried by the earth kicked up by the explosion. Even if the trenches were not hit, the falling sand and gravel were denser than raindrops. The speed seen fills in the trenches.

The loud roar continued, and the ploughing back and forth in a position about a kilometer long kicked up the dust and smoke in the sky, and in just a few minutes, the sun in the sky was obscured.

The British knew that the Japanese were about to attack, and they hid in the anti-artillery hole, and there was no way to do it. This will go out of the Lu and look for death, but if it doesn't go out, I'm afraid they will really be buried alive.

Before the British could get used to the huge earthquake caused by the shells, suddenly, an even more violent shock came, and then the anti-artillery holes that did not have the roof completely collapsed, and the earth rumbled and buried several people inside.

Aerial bombs!!

Although some British soldiers trembled in their hearts, they were shocked.

This is not the power of artillery shells, which can only be achieved by aviation orders at least 200 kilograms away.

Their ears are almost deaf, and the planes in the sky naturally can't hear, but they are right, this is a powerful aviation order, which is nearly 250 kilograms of aviation bombs.

Although the Japanese were not in a hurry to take their positions immediately, they could not tolerate the death of a large number of excellent soldiers. Moreover, they wanted to strike at the psychological defense line of the British army, so they transferred two battleships, two heavy cruisers, and replaced the bombers with large bombs, in order to break the British resistance.

This trick really worked, and in the violent explosion, the fear that the British army was not buried in the bottom of their hearts, and then spread and intensified.

In the loud noise, one by one the British soldiers howled and collapsed. They can't stand this kind of concussion that even their hearts are about to pop out, and they are unwilling to be buried alive in the ground.

But the bombardment had no intention of stopping at all, and the loud roar and artillery fire did not extend, just working back and forth in that area.

In the sky, reconnaissance planes constantly reported the location of the shelling, guiding the shells to accurately land on the frontal positions.

The big man calmly looked at the smoke and fire in the distance with his command knife, and his cruel smile showed that he saw the light of victory.

Yes, after the shelling and bombardment, the army will rush to the position without hindrance.

The shelling lasted for half an hour, the planes went back and forth in two waves, and the positions of the British troops had been completely destroyed, whether they were concrete pillboxes or semi-permanent trenches, they were all blown up beyond recognition.

"Charge !!"

At the moment when the shelling slowed down, the big sa howled and waved his command knife and gave the order to charge.

The shelling came to an abrupt end when the troops rushed out more than 300 meters, and in the smoke of gunpowder, only a large number of Japanese troops crossed the tidal flats, climbed the first interception position, rushed into the broken trenches, and rushed into the positions where no human figures could be seen.

A Japanese soldier charged, and suddenly, he saw a movement in the dirt, and then as he stopped, he saw a hand sticking out of the dust.

"Yaga!!"

He stabbed with his spear without hesitation, and as the blade entered his body, the moment his hand twitched and retracted, he stabbed several times in a row, and then rushed forward with the large army.

In the dirt, the British soldiers who were buried one by one were either suffocated to death or stabbed to death by bayonets, and the entire front line did not even resist, so it was captured by the Japanese army.

The second line of defense in the distance did not expect the Japanese firepower to be so fierce, and the moment they saw the yellow shadow spread to the position, they knew that the front line had been lost, and they said that they were directly facing the Japanese army.

"Kill!!"

The commander of the British army, knowing that the situation was critical, rushed out of cover with a light machine gun in his hand, and rushed forward as he strafed.

This will not be desperate, once the Japanese occupy the first line of positions, then their chances of survival are slim. He must recapture his position.

When the order to charge came, the British jumped out of the trench with their guns in their hands and launched a counter-charge against the Japanese troops more than 200 meters away.

When the Japanese saw the rushing British troops, they did not panic in the slightest, but their eyes lit up with excitement, and they rushed to the wave ahead with a howl with bayonets.

Rumble!

The two torrents collided together, and the tragic white-knuckle battle began.

Blood splattered, bodies went down, and heads rolled. The Japanese and British hugged each other, rolling on the ground and fighting, picking up whatever they had at hand, and smashing them on each other's heads regardless of it.

Blood, there is no shortage of soldiers in any country, this will, there is no tactics, there is no command, one by one the red-eyed people can no longer take care of the others, and when they see that they are not their own side, they will be stabbed in a mess.

The Japanese army was surging, numerically superior, and their bayonet skills were stronger than the British, and in the fierce white-knuckle battle, they gradually blocked the speed of the British advance, and contained the tide.

Once the Japanese army has the advantage and blocks the charge, in the face of the British army, which is small in number and weak in combat, it is not as simple as losing a position, and even the second line of positions behind will also be lost.

At this critical moment, the armored vehicles that desperately rushed to reinforce the tanks finally revealed their huge bodies, and then, the clattering machine guns roared, and the rain of bullets poured down, and the Japanese troops were swept down, and the British troops who were mixed together were also hit by the fish pond.

However, the reinforcements of the British army obviously had no scruples, and they did not dare to enter to contain and block the Japanese charge, and Shiao would be completely lost, and the urban area would be completely exposed to the Japanese guns.

The failure of the steel behemoth was still unintentionally resistant, and when the tanks poured up, the Japanese army did not chase the fierce strafing fire, and the momentum of the charge was successfully contained.

"Iron Fist!!"

"Iron Fist Comes Up !!"

The retreating Japanese shouted wildly.

With the shouting, the Japanese soldiers with iron fists were let out of the way and their figures were revealed, and then the fires flashed, and a loud bang followed. Of course, the British tanks could not withstand the bombardment with an iron fist, and in the flames, one tank after another was hit and caught on fire, and one armored vehicle after another was blown to pieces.

However, the coordination of the Japanese army obviously could not keep up, and after one round, more than a dozen tanks were destroyed, but the follow-up Iron Fist did not keep up, and could only be driven out of the position by the remaining tank armored vehicles.

Although the British army recaptured our position, only six of the more than 20 tanks that came, and the rest were destroyed. The same is true for armored vehicles, one round, most of the damage will be lost, it is estimated that there will be another round of approaching attacks, these tanks and armored vehicles will not be guaranteed, although the position is recaptured, but the strength has been greatly reduced, whether it can still block the Japanese attack again, no one has confidence.
