Sri Lanka, known as Colombo, known as the crossroads of the East, is filled with gunsmoke throughout the seaport city, from the port to the city center, everywhere is the collapse of houses and buildings, countless corpses and blood along the streets.

Outside the harbor, dense warships surrounded the entire sea area, and the raised barrels of guns spewed out the fire of death from time to time.

The British Sri Lankan Colonial Corps fought the largest war since the war with the Red Guard.

Every coastline of the British colonies, deprived of the protection of the fleet, was in danger of being breached at any time.

The Sri Lankan Legion, the main British army established to protect Sri Lanka, contained a large number of British soldiers, as well as a large army composed of locals.

Originally, the Sri Lankan Corps was to be used as a support force to go north to rescue British British India, but before the troops boarded the ship, the Red Guard Corps had already sounded the horn of attacking Sri Lanka.

Colombo, Sri Lanka's largest city and busiest port, is one. The night has turned into a purgatory on earth, and the dense artillery fire has turned the city into a Shura field, and half of the 200,000-strong Sri Lankan army that entered the city suffered heavy losses.

When the artillery fire stopped, the landing force of the Red Guard Corps had successfully landed on the beach, and the battle changed from naval shelling to urban assault and scramble.

One. The smoke of the night shrouded the city under thick clouds, and the smoky city was filled with gunfire and explosions.

The Red Police, which completely controlled the coastline of the port wharf, launched a large-scale landing in Colombo, and the Sri Lankan Army also launched a counteroffensive to try to drive the landed troops into the sea.

The city of a kilometer east of the port became the focus of attacks on both sides.

A large number of British soldiers and colonial troops constantly counterattacked, which brought a lot of pressure to the landing Red Police.

As a very important port city, Colombo has very wide streets, especially the main traffic arteries close to the port, which are very convenient for transportation, but not conducive to defense.

The buildings along the street are small Western-style buildings, and the intersections lead to the seaside and the port.

The commander of the Lu Xiao Company and an infantry company guarded the crossroads less than 500 meters from the port, using two three-story buildings to the west of the intersection as defensive points to block the British attack.

However, for Lu Xiao, in the case of firepower superiority, defense is not his choice.

On the roofs of the two civilian houses facing the intersection, two machine-gun positions are facing the intersection.

Dense fire blocked the frontal streets, and there were defenders at every intersection, blocking the British counterattack.

British and colonial soldiers with Field rifles hid in corners and in each other's buildings, aiming and shooting.

A shell suddenly landed in a house defended by the British, and the explosion rolled up black smoke and countless broken stones, and the broken half of the wall shook a few times, and a British soldier hiding behind the corner of the wall was startled, but fortunately, the stubborn wall did not fall in the end, only full of craters and desolation.

The British soldier did not dare to stay any longer, and quickly crawled forward, hid in a makeshift trench built along the street, shook off the dust on his body, and straightened the crooked helmet on his head.

"When will reinforcements arrive?" A British officer, hiding in a trench corner, asked the soldier who was crawling over.

This is an important stronghold in the neighborhood, and the officers who led two infantry battalions came over, and the combat mission was not to control the current area, but to control the opposite block, but to prevent the enemy from landing with the help of the buildings around the port.

It's the outskirts of Sri Lanka, and the battle between the two sides is heating up from the start.

The enemy's combat effectiveness was completely unexpected by the British, and two infantry battalions were thrown into the attack, as a result of which they did not even cross the streets.

The narrow streets around it have become the focus of desperate contention between the two sides, and several houses at the entrance of the street have also changed hands back and forth.

However, for the British, every time they were engaged in the battle to recapture the buildings at the junction, it was simply to send the soldiers into a meat grinder, although they could fight for each time, but each time they were captured, dozens of casualties were paid, and then under the cover of the opponent's heavy machine gun fire and artillery fire, the enemy was soon able to capture these small buildings.

"The enemy's marksmanship was so terrible that only one infantry battalion of reinforcements arrived, and most of the troops were blocked in the rear by enemy artillery fire and gunners."

When the officer heard this, he was startled and hurriedly asked, "Damn, has the back been captured?" ”

"No, the enemy seems to be scattered everywhere, the marksmanship is very terrible, it is like hunting, and our soldiers dare not advance on the streets, and the most terrible thing is that where these snipers are, the other party's shells are like having eyes, and the support troops are suffering heavy losses. Everyone was scared. ”

At this time, there were no professional snipers, and naturally they did not know sniper tactics, and the British soldiers who came to report could only report what they encountered.

When another officer on the side heard this, he shook his head and said: "We'd better not think about attacking now, the shells just now are obviously not naval guns at sea, but the support artillery fire of the opposing infantry, I estimate that the other side will carry out immediately, we must ......"

Before the officer could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew from the opposite intersection through his helmet and fell straight to the ground.

A few British soldiers on the side could only see a flashing figure on the roof of a civilian house more than 100 meters to the right side of the trench.

"Damn, there are ghost-like gunmen everywhere, shoot and run, whether it's a man or not, there's a kind of one-on-one fight." A British junior officer angrily pounded on the wall next to him and shouted angrily.

They had never encountered such a battle, and they were forced to deal with it, and the city should be under their control, but the whole city was full of enemies.

In response to the British, they fired whizzing mortar shells, arc ballistic shells, which threw over the trenches and landed behind the streets, and several soldiers did not have time to lie down and were hit by the shrapnel of the explosion, apparently unable to survive.

After receiving Lu Xiao on the opposite side, he once again launched an attack on the four small buildings on the other side of the street, and with the assistance of a fire platoon, the attack became simpler.

The British soldiers in the four buildings had not yet gained a foothold, the windows were blocked by a dense barrage of bullets, and the already broken windows were blown to pieces by artillery fire, and the British soldiers who were suppressed by the fire could only lie down in the houses with their heads in their hands.
