Chapter 587: Sending troops to Hong Kong
Chapter 587 Sending troops to Hong Kong to ask for subscriptions
In the Far East, because of China's vigorous resistance, the war became more and more intense. On the southeast coast, at the junction of the mainland and Hong Kong, the main forces of the Guangdong Military Division of the National Defense Forces were stationed. The original 20,000 people have gradually increased to more than 40,000 people. The standoff between China and Britain has made the situation extremely tense. The British Taiping Fleet was reinforcing the British forces in Burma in the British colonies of Southeast Asia, and some of them did not care about the Hong Kong area. In Hong Kong now, although the British have set up a governor, they do not have many troops. In the wake of tensions in East Asia, Britain has also strengthened its Hong Kong Garrison. Up to now, the number of British troops stationed in Hong Kong has exceeded 10,000.
Even so, the situation in Hong Kong has been destabilized by tensions between China and Britain. As a British colony, Hong Kong has a mixed mix of internal personnel, coupled with the continuous increase in the number of troops in the Chinese National Defense Forces, various schools of thought within Hong Kong have behaved differently in the face of this situation, and the rampant underground forces in Hong Kong have contributed to this turmoil.
Wehrmacht Command.
Feng Yuxiang, as the commander-in-chief of the front, did not change because of the telegram in his hand. Although he was born as a general, he was highly regarded in the Wehrmacht, and coupled with his military command ability, in just one and a half years, he has become the leader of the second batch of cutting-edge generals in the Wehrmacht. This time, under Feng Yong's order, he went to the southeast front to command everything in the war against Hong Kong.
"Commander, the follow-up troops have arrived one after another, and we can launch an attack on Hong Kong at any time!" Political Commissar Ma Weiqi said in a deep voice.
"There are also 10,000 British troops in Hong Kong, and even if we have an advantage in troops, we cannot afford to make the slightest mistake. The reconquest of Hong Kong this time is of great significance. Feng Yuxiang said in a deep voice. For the recovery of the lost land, it is the biggest dream in the heart of the leading generals, not to mention a hot-blooded man like Feng Yuxiang.
"Commander, you said that the war situation in the Far East is getting bigger and bigger, how should it end in the future?" Ma Weiqi said with some concern. If Hong Kong is turned into a battlefield again, China will have to fight on three fronts. Coupled with the battle of the navy, it is to support the four battlefields at the same time and resist two powerful countries. China may not fall behind in the short term, but if the war continues to stalemate, China will definitely not be an opponent of the two world powers. After all, the resources at the disposal of the two sides are simply not comparable.
"It's not something we should be thinking about. Since the young marshal dares to go to war, he naturally has his reasons, as soldiers, it is our mission to complete the tasks assigned by our superiors, not to mention that we are now recovering the country's lost land, and for the sake of China's territorial integrity, this war must also be fought. "Feng Yuxiang has a resolute personality, he is the kind of iron-blooded person, and he naturally supports the war 100%.
"If Britain's Pacific Fleet enters the war, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
"Humph! No matter how powerful the British ships are, they are still on the sea, can they still drive the warships to the mainland? It's just that with their army, our We're not afraid at all. Feng Yuxiang said in a deep voice. Whether it is the Burma battlefield in the southwest or the Korean battlefield in the northeast, the Chinese defense forces are in an absolute upper hand. Both the British and Japanese armies were losing ground. This is certainly the result of the participation of Chinese bombers in the war, but it also shows that the Chinese Army has extraordinary combat effectiveness, and these results have given the Wehrmacht Army great confidence.
"On land, no one in our national defense forces is afraid, and now we just hope that the navy can win, then it will be easier for us in China to win this war." Ma Weiqi said.
"The young marshal has drawn out a large number of armed merchant ships to participate in the war, I heard that there are still planes participating in the war, there are so many hole cards, even if you can't win, you can guarantee that you will not be defeated, right?" Feng Yuxiang could not make up his mind about the outcome of the naval battle, after all, China's navy was established for too short a time. The number of capital warships cannot be compared with that of the Japanese Navy. And now one battleship of the Chinese Navy against four Japanese battleships, with a ratio of one to four, it is already a miracle that the Chinese Navy remains undefeated, let alone victorious. In this era, the perception of the navy is still in the era of giant ships and cannons, and the existence of battleships is irreplaceable, and in people's cognition, only battleships can be used to deal with battleships. …,
Off the coast of Qingdao, under the frantic bombing of Chinese bombers, the frantic Shancheng finally stopped and slowly sank. The Japanese soldiers involved above had to escape from the warship. The fighting will of the Japanese Navy soldiers and the Japanese Army cannot be compared at all. As a technical branch, the navy does not have much military training, and its performance in the face of death naturally varies.
In the distance, the evacuated Fuso was also uncomfortable, and the Chinese bomber formation split up half to bomb it. The Fuso's rapid-fire guns fired into the air. But the disparity in numbers also made the Fuso suffer a big loss. The entire superstructure was filled with huge flames from incendiary bombs.
The armor-piercing shells dropped by the bombers did little for the intact deck of the battleship Fuso. In this case, the Fuso quickly moved away.
When the Fuso disappeared from sight, its bomber formation had to return.
Thundered!
A loud bang came from the stagnant Yamashiro ship, and the warship, which had been sinking slowly, sank at a speed visible to the naked eye. Under the watchful eye of the Chinese Navy, the huge hull of the Shancheng slowly sank into the sea.
On the Beijing ship.
"Commander, how can we save those Japanese sailors who fell into the water?" Ma Lu asked in a deep voice.
"Let's get them up first!" Zhang Chaoqun thought for a while and said. In the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the Japanese chose not to save the Chinese naval officers and sailors who had fallen into the water, and many Chinese soldiers who did not drown at that time starved to death on the sea. But the Chinese do not have the distorted character of the Japanese. Soon, more than 400 Japanese navies were pulled to the medium ** ship. But to the surprise of Ma Lu and the others, there was not even a cadre among these people, and there were many engineers.
Buzz!
Two sleek Chinese planes appeared in the sky, chasing in the direction of the Fusang's departure. It was a Chinese reconnaissance plane, and the Qingdao garrison did not believe that the Japanese would give up. And with the strength of the Japanese Combined Fleet, it is enough to concentrate forces again on an attack on China in a short time.
The Fuso escaped from the bombing of the bombers, and the Japanese naval forces immediately concentrated their efforts on extinguishing the fire on the surface of the Fuso. Although the bombing of the Chinese bombers did not affect the inner compartment of the Fuso, the surface of the building was extremely damaged. The ship's firepower was even more affected, and there was varying degrees of damage, which greatly reduced its service life.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I have received a telegram from the Fourth Fleet that they are approaching me within a hundred nautical miles."
"Yaga! The war is over, and they came! The other man in the mountain house said with blood-red eyes. One Kongo-class battleship has lost news and is unknown whether it is alive or dead, and the other is also seriously injured and has now been towed to the nearest North Korean port for repairs. The Shancheng was directly sunk by the Chinese Navy. Fuso fled with injuries. It can be said that this time the Japanese Navy was completely defeated in the operation against the Chinese Navy. This kind of result is not only unthinkable by Lieutenant General Yamaya, but also by no one in the world.
"Send a telegram to the Combined Fleet Command to report the details of the naval battle, and at the same time convey the impact of Chinese bombers on battleships back home. Damn, those bastards in the army must know how powerful the Chinese bombers are, and they didn't even report to the navy, which obviously depends on the liveliness of the navy. The other man in the mountain house said through gritted teeth. The contradictions between the Japanese army and navy have become much more serious after several confrontations. In addition, Lieutenant General Yamaya experienced this big battle, and his mind was a little confused, and he didn't know how to think of the Japanese Army, and he blamed the Army for all the responsibility. I don't know what the Japanese army top brass who are gloating over are thinking.
"Your Excellency Commander, do we join the Fourth Fleet and return to continue the attack on the Chinese Navy. China's Beijing is more seriously injured than we are, and if we work harder, we will be able to sink it completely. The captain of the Fuso said. ..., "Yaga! Do you have a way to counter Chinese planes? Evacuate now. To deal with the Chinese Navy, it is also necessary to be within the attack distance of Chinese aircraft. Otherwise, our navy will still be a living target for Chinese aircraft. "Lieutenant General Yamaya was filled with fear at the thought of the bombing from which the planes could not defend themselves at high altitudes. At the same time, the degree of attention paid to aircraft suddenly changed from being out of the flow to becoming a strategic weapon.
"Yes!"
The Japanese Navy has lost the idea of entering the coastal areas of China, after all, the participation of bombers in the war is too great a threat to Japanese surface ships.
There is a small fishing village on the border between the mainland and Hong Kong. In later generations, it was a place of reform and opening up that moved the world, and at the end of the 20th century, it became a first-class big city in Asia. Only now, it's just a small fishing village off the beaten track. Because the British occupied the New Territories, it was common to see ships from various countries coming and going in Hong Kong waters, and the fishermen did not have a good time. Moreover, China's history has undergone tremendous changes, and no one knows whether Shenzhen will be able to have the fate of future generations. But now, the small fishing village is long gone, and they have been relocated to a safe place, full of Chinese IDF soldiers in camouflage uniform, and all kinds of weapons and ammunition are piled up. Not far from the small fishing village, there are one military camp after another.
Today, the squadron that was originally divided suddenly assembled and dispatched nine tanks produced by China's No. 1 Middle School, which was nicknamed the fierce bull in the army. The tanks were replaced from the Shenyang Military District. In this era when tanks were not advanced, the Raptor tank was also an advantageous weapon to support infantry operations.
Boom, the Chinese army began to move, directly crossing the boundary bridge and entering the New Territories of Hong Kong. The British reacted quickly, and a fierce artillery battle ensued between the two sides. The entire edge of the New Territories was under continuous artillery fire.
