However, before an echo came from the receiver of the walkie-talkie, a scream suddenly broke out behind him, which completely disrupted Luo Dayong's thoughts.

When I looked back, I saw a Red Army soldier in his squad poking out the tip of a knife from the chest, and the whole person fell to the ground softly.

The rest of the Red Army soldiers hurriedly raised their submachine guns, but before they could pull the trigger, another bush suddenly exploded in the middle, and then a man burst out of it, holding a shiny scimitar. I saw him kicking the ground and jumping, and his hands slashed hard! After a cold light flashed, another Red Army soldier also covered his neck and opened his eyes angrily...... Then he fell to his back and stopped moving.

All this happened so fast, and by the time Luo Dayong's squad leader reacted, a third attacker had already burst out of the bushes with angry eyes and pounced on him with a knife! Luo Dayong, who is also still a rookie, hurriedly raised his gun and pulled the trigger without thinking, and ran out of a box of bullets in an instant, which caused the bullets to burst out a few bloody flowers in the opponent's chest...... However, the situation on the side of the Red Army did not improve on this side, as more enemies armed with short knives rushed out of the mountains and forests and silently charged the unprepared Red Army detachment.

However, after the initial panic had passed, the Red Army soldiers were not to be outdone and opened fire, causing branches and leaves to fly, earth and rocks splashing, and several enemies fell in the way of the charge. Luo Dayong, the squad leader, threw out a grenade after running out of the second cartridge...... However, this did not slow down the influx of enemies, who were about to have to use their bayonets against their scimitars.

Fortunately. At this moment, the mountains and forests behind Luo Dayong's squad leader were also gunfired-the follow-up troops of the Red Army followed!

-- The crossfire of more than 30 automatic rifles and machine guns immediately turned the two enemies who rushed forward into a hornet's nest. Plus a couple of grenades that exploded in the crowd. After dropping five or six corpses, the enemy retreated behind the woods.

It was only at this time that Luo Dayong had the leisure to look at the corpses of the enemies he had just fought with, and immediately found that they were not white-skinned and red-haired "ghosts", but all of them with the same black hair and yellow skin as himself, and each of them had a strange dog-legged scimitar, which was estimated to be a strong man recruited locally in Hong Kong.

“…… Bah! Dead traitor! He spat at the corpses. Rolling his eyes, he said disdainfully.

- Actually, what Luo Dayong didn't know was that these yellow-skinned soldiers. In fact, it is not the Chinese in Hong Kong, but the Gurkha mercenaries in the British army. Because the Gurkha people of Nepal, who live in the foothills of the Himalayas, are brave and fierce by nature, the rulers of many countries in South Asia are willing to recruit Gurkha as mercenaries. In 1851, the British, who conquered Nepal, strengthened their rule over India. They also began to form their own Gurkha mercenaries. These Gurkha loyally served the British, ruthlessly suppressed all Asian rebels, and left a great name on the battlefield.

On the battlefield in Hong Kong at this time, these Gurkha mercenaries today are worthy of their former prestige, and they have shown high quality in stealth, assault and white-knuckle warfare. Although temporarily repulsed by the automatic guns of the Red Army, at the next moment, when the destroyer "Thracian" on the surface of the sea came ashore, shelling. When the bombing caused the Red Army soldiers to hide in Tibet and lose their faces, more Gurkha mercenaries poured in.

Suddenly. The soldiers of the two armies collided violently, and the swords flashed on the verdant hillside, and the shouts of killing rang out.

-- Although a considerable part of the Gurkhas, who did not carry guns, suffered a little loss in the course of the charge, and were knocked down by bullets, when they rushed into the middle of the Red Army under the cover of trees and rocks, the sharp dog-legged scimitars made the Red Army recruits who were not good at stabbing Jishu suffer enough -- and only one of the soldiers was killed, but one squad of soldiers was either killed or wounded. A few recruits who had only seen blood in street fights before were immediately frightened by their comrades who fell to the ground in a blur of flesh and blood, threw down their guns and turned to run, but before they could take two steps, they were slashed from behind by a dog-legged knife......

Luo Dayong, who was caught in a bitter battle, first knocked down an enemy with a gun, then fought with a bayonet, then fell off the bayonet and smashed people with a gun, Zuihou simply fought hand-to-hand...... Although all the strength of his body was lost little by little in the fierce fighting, the instinct to survive still made him struggle to support.

Finally, with the rumbling sound of engines from the sky and a rain of flameballs tearing through the air, the Gurkhas, who were also at the end of the crossbows, could no longer hold on, and left a pile of corpses in a hasty retreat under the strafing fire of the Red Army planes.

However, Luo Dayong, who was lucky enough to escape, did not have time to raise his head and raise his hat to cheer at the plane, when he heard a burst of machine cannon sound from behind the mountain, and then before the pilot could parachute, the unlucky plane dragged black smoke and fell, and a bright fireball "boomed" on the beach!

But the next moment, more planes followed, diving down the British destroyer "Thracian" anchored in the harbor.

-- The bloody battle between the Chinese and British armies on Lantau Island, on land, sea, and air in all directions, had just begun......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

“…… This morning, our commandos discovered and sank the British destroyer "Thracian" at Panyu Bay on the southwest side of Lantau Island. But also three aircraft and a torpedo boat were lost. In addition, the British fleet shelled Macao at noon, killing and wounding 19 officers and men stationed there, destroying nearly 200 houses, and creating a serious atmosphere of panic among the people of Macao......

In the front-line command of Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, looking at the combat map full of all kinds of red crosses, the traversers led by Wang Qiu couldn't help frowning, "...... The battle for Lantau Island was endless, and British warships were scurrying around the waters of the Lingding Ocean at the mouth of the Pearl River all day long! Two more British light cruisers have also arrived in Hong Kong from Singapore through the South China Sea this afternoon...... Hell, are the British trying to fight to the end? It's not scientific! ”

In addition to the stalemate in the fighting on Lantau Island. The shelling of Hong Kong's urban area from the Kowloon Peninsula was also not smooth -- considering that the other side was also Chinese after all, the Red Army was still somewhat restrained, and only aimed at a few military facilities and administrative strongholds such as Taikoo Dockyard and the Port Governor's Mansion to sabotage. The British, on the island of Hong Kong, were fighting with impunity. From the very beginning, incendiary bombs were used to burn down tens of thousands of houses in the Kowloon Walled City in one go! Later, mustard gas was even used...... Although the losses of the Red Army soldiers were not large, the local population was scattered.

As a result, after a few days of artillery fighting, Hong Kong Island on the southern shore of Victoria Bay was covered with rubble, but the Kowloon Peninsula on the northern shore was even more mournful. Civilians are either displaced, wandering over the scorched earth rubble, or fleeing with their families. Panic is like a lost dog - the scene is unbearable.

Due to the ineffectiveness of the Pearl River Fleet, the coastal areas of Lingdingyang were also deeply disturbed by the British fleet, and the whole situation was like the Opium War of the past.

The Red Army flying corps was dispatched despite the fact that it was on the ground for several days. Attempts to destroy the British fleet in Hong Kong, which was as nasty as flies, were never able to deliver a successful surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and each time a success, the price was often unbearable - so far. In total, the Reds sank eight British transports, three destroyers and four shallow gunboats. But the loss of aircraft has already exceeded forty!

The announcement of the atomic bombardment did not deter the British reinforcements - although the battleships and aircraft carriers did remain in Singapore all the time, many destroyers, gunboats and light cruisers were advancing towards Hong Kong, in addition to the merchant fleet carrying reinforcements.

The Red Army artillerymen on the Kowloon Peninsula said they were helpless - the ships did not enter the waters of Victoria Bay in the north of Hong Kong Island, but docked at Repulse Bay and Stanley anchorage on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island. The artillery on the Kowloon Peninsula was blocked by the Taiping Shan Towering in the middle of Hong Kong Island, and it was really impossible to reach the British Navy on the other side of the mountain. Except for the occasional attacks by the Red Army flying teams, British reinforcements could only be allowed to go to the island.

“…… Can't you just think of a way? Destroy these nasty ships? Wang Qiu stretched out his hand and pointed to the map and asked Major Lin Shenhe.

“…… It really can't be helped. Lin Shenhe spread his hands. …… By adjusting the angle of fire and ballistics, although our rocket artillery can hit the Repulse Bay and Stanley anchorage behind Taiping Mountain, it can only hit it, because if we can't see the target, the accuracy is completely unguaranteed. As for cruise missiles...... Now that the city of Hong Kong is under full martial law, the underground party on Hong Kong Island has cut off contact with us, and the reconnaissance team that tried to lurk on the island has also been repulsed. If no one provides laser irradiation on the spot, then the destructive power of cruise missiles is actually about the same as that of rocket artillery! ”

“…… In other words, it all depends on luck...... Wang Qiu couldn't help but groan, "...... Speaking of which, haven't European and American countries always had a tradition of surrendering in desperate situations? Weishenme is now fighting so bravely in the colony of Hong Kong? It doesn't look like a British anymore! ”

“…… It's simple, because we haven't cornered them yet. Professor Yang shrugged his shoulders and replied, "...... In the Pacific War, General Percival of Singapore did lead 80,000 British troops to surrender to 35,000 Japanese troops, which seemed quite shameful. However, it should be noted that before the surrender, the Japanese Army had successfully landed on Singapore Island and fought a fierce battle with the British army for a week, which brutally destroyed the spirit of the British army from the frontal attack. The Japanese navy also cut off Singapore's external lines of communication, making it impossible for the British to count on their own backup......

But what about us today? Not even a single beachhead on Hong Kong Island has been planted with a red flag, the sea supremacy is still in the hands of the British fleet, and the air supremacy is not strong enough, and the reinforcement convoys from Singapore are coming one after another...... In such a situation, how could the British troops stationed in Hong Kong surrender? ”

“…… That's right...... Alas, this is a bunch of unrepentant aggressors. Wang Qiu touched his chin and muttered.

“…… Compared to the Japanese, the British are already good! Ms. Kinchina suddenly walked in with a pale face and threw a bunch of pictures on the table, "...... This is a photo taken by General Xun Huaizhou on Zhoushan Island, and that scene is really ...... It's terrible! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

East Zhejiang, Zhoushan Island

“…… Woo-"

Accompanied by a long string of whistles, the American cruise ship "Franklin", hired by the Admiralty. Carrying a group of U.S. Marines stranded on the front line of the Zhoushan Islands, as well as a small number of fleeing American expatriates, were escorted by two destroyers. Slowly left the dock of Dinghai Port.

For these American GIs who were about to return home, all the adventures, adventures and disasters were finally over. They could finally leave the smoke of blood and smoke and return to the warmth of their own fireplace, sipping whiskey and boasting about their "Far Eastern Stories".

And the supreme commander of the U.S. army, Colonel Whitney, also stood at the stern of the cruise ship with a corncob pipe in his mouth. Looking gloomy at Zhoushan Island, which was gradually moving away, he had neither won honor nor victory in this anticlimactic Far East intervention operation. did not even really face the Bolshevik army of his enemy, China...... But no matter what, he still persevered to Zuihou after all.

Now he zuihou a mission. It's about bringing these tired lads home well.

Come to think of it. Colonel Whitney couldn't help but spit out a smoke ring in a soothing mood...... However, when he turned around and saw another Japanese merchant ship "Misaki Maru" flying the sun flag, following behind him, his mood could not help but become gloomy and trembling.

- Because, even from such a distance, his nose seemed to be able to smell the blood and corpses of those people, and hear the howls of the souls that lingered around these Oriental dwarves...... If it were possible, he really didn't want to be in the company of these demons who seemed to crawl out of hell.

Fortunately. The Japanese ship is going to dock in Taiwan, and then you can tell them zaijian yourself......

Meanwhile. The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army led by General Xun Huaizhou, with the cruiser "Pinghai" as the forerunner, set out from the Shengsi Islands and swept many islands outside Hangzhou Bay in eastern Zhejiang. Among them, the Kuomintang troops on Qushan Island and Daishan Island were all terrified and surrendered without a fight. However, when the advance team of the Red Army landed on Zhoushan Island, the largest of the islands, although they basically did not encounter resistance, they saw a tragic scene:

-- From the wharves by the sea to the rice paddies inland, almost everywhere on the entire island of Zhoushan is covered with corpses and rivers of blood!

The thatched huts scattered across the fields and beaches were burned down, and the sturdy masonry houses were mostly reduced to rubble. The smell of rotting corpses in the towns is even more disgusting...... And this is all the sins created by the Japanese army in order to vent their anger after the defeat from Shanghai!

A scout who had lurked on Zhoushan Island in advance reported what he had seen and heard to General Xun Huaizhou in shock.

“…… I lay in ambush on a high ground to the south, and not far from me there was a pond, and there were many Japanese soldiers standing on the edge of the pond, desperately driving a group of people into the pond, and soon the pond was full of people. I saw that they were in chaos in the water, and some of the Japanese soldiers by the pond shot with guns, and some stabbed with bayonets on their guns. In the pond, the heads were cut off, the waist was cut off, the breasts pierced, and the abdomen was broken, and the water became red. The Japanese soldiers were laughing and shouting on the sidelines, and they were very happy. There were a few living people in the pond, crawling on top of the dead bodies, covered in blood. One of the women, holding a small child in her arms, surfaced and made a poignant plea to the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers on the shore actually stabbed them with bayonets and pierced them in the chest. The second time he stabbed the child, and with a bayonet, the child was stabbed against the bayonet, and he raised his gun high and shook it a few times, as if it were something to play with. The woman had collapsed in the pond, not yet stabbed to death, and she wanted to get up and look at the child, but she struggled a little and then fell down again. The Japanese soldiers also cut this woman into several pieces according to the method of slaughtering others......"

In addition to a few "flesh and blood ponds" that have been reduced to mass graves, scattered corpses can also be found everywhere in Dinghai County, in Shenjiamen Fishing Port, and in several Buddhist temples on the island...... Because of the sweltering heat in the middle of summer, many of the corpses have rotted and grown maggots, and they look miserable.

What made the Red Army soldiers even more indignant was that when the 4,000 Japanese troops slaughtered innocent people in Zhoushan, there were still hundreds of American soldiers and at least 3,000 Kuomintang troops on the island. Among them, the American soldiers were bent on going home and ignored the matter. Among the Kuomintang troops, some people were so frightened that they fled in a hurry and hid in the mountains and forests or on the outer islands; But others aided in the abuse, played for the tiger, and joined the ranks of the murderers with all their dignity, and followed the Japanese invaders to slaughter and rob their Chinese compatriots!

Unfortunately, by the time the Red Army landed, the Japanese army had already withdrawn to Taiwan, and the Kuomintang troops had also gone their separate ways and were no longer on Zhoushan Island. Even if you want to find the murderer and punish him, there is no way to do it for the time being - but, in the final analysis, this blood debt is still on the heads of the Japanese......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On August 18, in retaliation for the "Zhoushan Massacre" by the Japanese army, the Red Army launched the seventh nuclear bombardment against the Japanese Empire.

As a result, Kumamoto Castle, an important town in the central part of Kyushu Island, followed in the footsteps of Sasebo, Nagasaki, and Kagoshima, and was reduced to ashes along with more than 100,000 residents, thus forming a belt of nuclear radiation destruction that runs through the north and south on this small island.

So far, the total yield of the Japanese archipelago in this year's nuclear explosions has exceeded 100 million tons of TNT explosives, and almost half of Japan has been covered in nuclear fallout. But even so, the red-eyed Japanese Empire still refused to give in to the armistice of the "inferior Shina people".

-- Yonghito, the "Emperor of Koroku," who had just ascended the throne, denounced the tyranny of the "Shina Communist Army" with great righteousness and awe, and vowed to fight to the end. The major newspapers and periodicals in Europe and the United States wrote articles one after another, fully praising the undying fighting spirit between the Japanese Empire and the Bolsheviks.

However, although the Japanese Empire had already shouted the battle cry of "100 million jade pieces", declaring that it would conscript 1.3 million troops into the army. However, before Japan's national economy could transition to a wartime system, most of the country's military enterprises had already been flattened by nuclear bombs, and the industrial base in Manchukuo had not yet had time to be built...... If you don't want the soldiers to fight the Red Army with bamboo knives and guns, you have to find another way.

Therefore, the American diplomatic corps took the opportunity to express their willingness to provide the Japanese Empire with a batch of light weapons and ammunition to be used in a life-and-death war against the communist army in China, provided that the Caroline Islands, Saipan Islands, and Tinian Islands were ceded as collateral for the Japanese Navy's advance to the Pacific Ocean......

However, while the base camp of the Japanese Empire was still looking ahead and hesitating, another bad news had already come from the north. (To be continued......)
