After a fierce battle for a day and a night, seeing that they were about to rush to the mouth of Dagu, the last moment was defeated, Dundas and Bonella were so angry that they could only temporarily retreat, rest, and wait for the next attack. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After only two hours of rest, the mixed fleet was on the left and the three fleets were on the right, and they launched an attack on Dagukou again!

The ferocious artillery fire even blew up the Dagukou fort with craters everywhere, and the entire fort was almost destroyed, and the current Lu army and the Huai army were only able to hold the dangerous terrain and block the British and French forces that landed on the shore.

It's half a day again, it's already in the afternoon, the tenacious Lu army and the Huai army are still nailed to the position, at the critical time, the gap between the two armies is revealed, the Lu army entered the battle first, the casualties should have been greater, but in just two battles, the casualties of the Huai army have risen sharply, and the number of soldiers killed in the battle alone has been close to 2,000!

It's too tragic, although the Huai army has also participated in tragic battles, although it is also known for its bravery, but compared with the Lu army, the quality of this individual soldier is indeed a big difference, if it is not for the Lu army is still fighting to the death, the generals of the Huai army can't help but retreat, the price of such a hard resistance is too great, this kind of era of war and chaos, there is an army to speak with confidence, without a gun, everything is a floating cloud.

However, the Lu army will not retreat from the battle, and the Huai army is now on the rise, how can it admit defeat? Wu Changqing and Zhou Shengbo are both famous generals of the Huai Army who grew up from the war, so they naturally have their own pride!

Beat! I'd rather die in battle, then we must not be scared to death, our Huai army can't let Lu Jun see a joke at a critical time!

The battle between the two sides lasted again until dusk, under the joint attack of the fleets of the three countries, the Lu army and the Huai army suffered heavy casualties, lacking sufficient heavy firepower support, even if they were not afraid of death, they could only be beaten passively, the casualties of the Lu army had exceeded 2,000 people, and the Huai army soared to more than 4,000 people.

At this critical moment, a gunboat flew towards the mixed fleet from the south, flying the flag of the French Navy, and a signal soldier on the watchtower waved the signal flag quickly.

Bonella was engrossed in directing the battle, and a combat staff officer shouted: "General Bonella, look, there is a French warship coming from the south, where did this come from?" ”

Bonella was stunned, the French battleship? Now that almost all the warships in China's waters have been concentrated in the Bohai Bay, how can there be headband warships again?

"Send a signal, ask which fleet the other party is from, what?"

Bonella shouted, and as he spoke, Bonella looked at Bruce, the chief of staff of the French fleet on the side, "Bruce, look at that warship?" Is it your French sequence? ”

Bruce was shocked, raised his binoculars to look, and then lowered the telescope.

"Strange, it's the gunboat Bruno! Didn't the warship stay in the Gulf of Thailand? Why did you suddenly run here? Could it be that something is wrong in the Gulf of Thailand? ”

Bruce's face was solemn and suspicious.

Bonella shook his head, they had been on the sea for more than ten days, and they didn't know anything about what was happening on the mainland, there was no wireless telegraphy, and they couldn't receive any information unless the fleet docked.

"General Bonella, General Bruce, the other party said that there is an urgent military situation and asks to approach!"

From the watchtower, the signalman hurried down and reported to Bonella and Bruce.

Bonella and Bruce were shocked, emergency military situation? That must be something wrong with Nanyang! Could it be that the Chinese attacking the Philippines began to attack the Malay Peninsula or the Indochina Peninsula?

"Signalman, signal, get Bruno over, Shawshank! You take my command, Bruce, let's go, let's see! ”

Bonella and Bruce, who were a little nervous, stepped off the deck and walked to the side, at this time, Bruno quickly approached, the two battleships were almost together, a sampan was placed between the two warships, and the captain of the ship, Mundas jumped.

"Colonel Mundas, aren't you in charge of coastal defense in the Gulf of Thailand? Why did you suddenly come to Tianjin Port? What happened in the South Seas? ”

Bruce shouted!

"General Bruce, it's the Malay Peninsula, it's the Malay Peninsula that has changed......"

An embarrassed smile appeared on Meng Dasi's face, and he whispered.

Bruce was a little confused and asked, "Something happened in the Malay Peninsula?" It must have been Keynes sending someone to deliver the letter, and wasn't there a telegram? ”

Bonella, who was on the side, couldn't sit still, and shouted: "Mundas, what happened, tell me quickly!" ”

"This ......"

Meng Dasi said abruptly: "General Bonella, on the third day when you and General Bruce left the Strait of Malacca, the Chinese naval division raided Malacca and dispatched almost all the main warships, General Keynes's fleet was suddenly attacked at sea, not an opponent, almost all the troops were wiped out, even General Keynes was captured, and then, the Chinese naval division launched a military attack on the Malay Peninsula, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur fell successively, and now the Governor of Malaysia has led the defeated army to retreat to Anshun City, Hundreds of miles along the coast of the Strait of Malacca have been occupied by Chinese mercenaries......"

Mundas's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, blowing up Bonella to the point that it couldn't be cooked, and the Malay Peninsula fell! This responsibility is much more than the failure of the attack on China, China is just an independent power, the two sides are at war, victory or defeat is expected, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation of the world hegemony of the British Empire, but the Strait of Malacca is different, this is the strategic point of the Indian Ocean into the Pacific Ocean, control Malacca, can control the Pacific Ocean, and now Malacca has fallen, fallen into the hands of him, the commander of the Asian fleet, no matter how many reasons he has, it is useless, this responsibility is enough to ruin his lifelong military career! Enough to cut off the hegemony of the British Empire in Asia!

"Impossible! Mundas, you fucking fart! ”

Bonella grabbed Mundas by the collar and roared angrily.

"No matter how powerful the Chinese mercenary army is, how can it be possible to capture Malacca?"

Meng Dasi smiled bitterly: "General Bonella, if the main force of the Asian Fleet is in the South Seas, the Chinese mercenary corps will naturally be unable to do it, but don't forget, you have transferred all the absolute main forces to Tianjin, and then you have taken away a main infantry division of the Malay Peninsula, and there is only less than one division of troops left in the entire Malay Peninsula, scattered in various cities on the Malay Peninsula, where can it still be the opponent of the mercenary corps?" The mercenary regiment dispatched tens of thousands of troops in one go, and in two days, your country lost the main force of four infantry regiments, and now it is lucky to be able to keep the northern part of the Malay Peninsula......"
