Chapter 230 Luohu Port
"The order that President Li just sent was ordered to set out at 6 a.m. on October 1st and launch an air strike on the British army's Ang Chuanzhou Naval Base station in Hong Kong. It is necessary to wipe out the main force of the British fleet near the base. Two other British 10,000-ton battleships have passed through the South China Sea and are expected to arrive at the Ang Chuanzhou Naval Base before tomorrow morning. President Li instructed that these two British warships that rushed to rescue should be sunk together." Ye Zhikai took a message he had just received and found Hu Haichenghui to report.
"Time is very tight, so let the soldiers have a good sleep tonight and start operations tomorrow. It is necessary to cause a fatal blow to the enemy in the first wave, otherwise the enemy ships will definitely slip away from the South China Sea and escape to their colony, exceeding the combat radius of our fighter jets, and they will not do anything to them." Hu Haicheng touched his beard, his deep eyes flashed a few times, and said with some thought.
"The army's actions are about to be launched, right?" Hu Haicheng then changed his mind.
"They will start their actions in the early morning tomorrow, and the actions are about to begin." Ye Zhikai was quite excited. After a few years of silence, he could hear the sound of war again, which made him feel that he had a place to use his skills again, and his blood was boiling.
"A great war is about to begin. This is probably the largest war involved in our country's history. I face so many enemies this time and are very strong, which is unprecedented." Hu Haicheng continued to sigh.
"I hope this war is a battle to cleanse the shame of the Chinese nation, and I hope our heroic soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army can win the championship." Ye Zhikai said in a deep voice with expectant eyes.
Through the glass window and looking at the vast starry sky, the two are looking forward to the future. They have the same dream in their hearts, that is, China will take off again.
In the distant sky, they seemed to vaguely see a giant dragon's majestic body gradually emerging in front of them. They seemed to be able to hear the shaking roar of the dragon. At this moment, everyone was full of expectations.
At around 5:30 am on October 1st, the sky just turned white. Shenzhen, located on the beach, is far less than the prosperous 21st century. It is just a small town with less than tens of thousands of people. In the small fishing village on the beach, most people are silent in their sleep. Located near the Luohu Port in the north of the New Territories, Hong Kong, several British soldiers were carrying rifles and chatting on the railings on the side of the port.
Several people were holding cigarettes of unknown brands, sucking clouds and blew up mist, and bursting out laughing from time to time, as if the war was still far from them and they had not yet fully entered the state.
"The Chinese actually declared war on the British Empire. They were really a group of yellow-skinned guys who knew the world were ignorant. They thought that there were several new inventions of rags that could challenge the supreme Kingdom of Britain. This world is so crazy." A British soldier comfortably exhaled a smoke ring and said teasingly.
"The Chinese are very cunning. They want to take the opportunity to get involved with the Germans and want to get some cheaper. But I don't dare to do anything. They just want to use the power of the Germans to regain some of the benefits they have lost, and then see if there is any chance to squeeze the Japanese out of China." Another person answered.
"The Chinese are always unfighted countries. In recent times, all wars have been beaten by us Europeans and the Japanese. I think they are just a little bit poor. When one day our British Empire pacified Europe and sent a powerful fleet to the Far East, all the Chinese submarines should be scrapped. At that time, China's territory will be divided by us and the Japanese. At that time, they can still call out."
"Haha, don't underestimate the Chinese. Look at the gadgets they produce. This lighter is so advanced. It's so practical. But they are all sissy things. They thought they were amazing. They dared to fight with us proudly, which was simply overestimating their own abilities."
"Hahahaha, it's indeed some women's inventions, folding umbrellas, delicious Coke, so ridiculous. Do they have Newtons and great scientists like Maxwell? I thought it would be great to build a few helicopters developed by stolen technology from somewhere. Our British Empire had already started to build aircraft more than ten years ago. This was not the first thing the Chinese invented, it was just that they plagiarized our technology and pretended to be a ghost."
"I guess that virtual man that caused a sensation in the world is just a kind of witchcraft of the Chinese. It has been several years since their virtual man has created any decent things."
"Hahahaha, witchcraft, your explanation is really appropriate. The Chinese people probably have to rely on this kind of witchcraft to live. I want to see what new tricks they have, a group of backward and ignorant guys."
"You can still laugh. The situation of the war is so tense now. The Chinese are likely to launch a sneak attack on us. They stand up for me and stare at what is happening on the other side." Just as several soldiers were laughing, a British sergeant suddenly came over and scolded the people.
"Hello Sergeant."
Several British soldiers immediately put away their smiles and stood neatly on both sides, not daring to speak any further. The sergeant shook his head, then turned and left.
"There are too many sergeants who have done this. Yesterday he told us that we should be careful of the Chinese. What is that? By the way, it is called Zhenguo Army. The sergeant said that Zhenguo Army is no longer the Qing army of the past. Their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and there are many new weapons installed. Let us not underestimate the enemy. I think he is too worried." Shortly after the sergeant turned around and left, a British soldier began to mutter again.
"This is probably what the old guys above told him again. The Chinese took out a few rags and scared the old guys, and they also shouted that we were facing a new huge threat in the Far East. I see that the old guys in the parliament had their brains. What are the more than 600 warships in the British Empire for? As long as our fleet one day drives to the Far East, the Chinese will be scared to pee their pants."
"Hahahaha, right, I wish you good luck to the Chinese who are overestimating your abilities. I'm happy to see the day when they surrender to the British Empire."
"Stop talking, I seem to hear something." A British soldier suddenly raised his ears and began to listen carefully to the movements around him.
"Peter, you're also scared by Chinese witchcraft. What are you doing with fuss?"
"Don't be suspicious and disturb our interest."
"Maybe I heard it wrong." The British soldier looked into the distance opposite the port for a few glances, only to find a piece of wild grass floating in the wind. He found nothing, and immediately shook his head and said.
"Do you think the Chinese will really come to attack? Do they really have the courage to launch a full-scale war with the British Empire?" One person returned to the topic.
"Maybe the Chinese are so hot that they think they are the best in the world. Do they dare to attack Japan and British colonies from north to south at the same time? If they dare to do that, it will be their death. Let them see the magnificence of the British Empire, so that Chinese people who don't even know that the earth is round will come and carry my shoes..."
While talking, the British soldier suddenly felt a sudden heat in his forehead, and then he lost consciousness. A clear small hole suddenly appeared on his forehead. Blood shot out like a fountain and fell to the ground with a thump.
"What's going on?" The other three or four British soldiers were stunned. The soldiers who were still laughing just now suddenly fell to the ground.
Just as they were confused, a dense sound suddenly sounded from the distance opposite the port. Before the few people could react, there were a few bullet holes on their bodies, and they all shouted and fell to the ground and died.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack." The British sergeant just now rushed out of the flying booth on the side and whistled and blew the whistle to a British company stationed nearby.
A team of British soldiers rushed up with Li Enfield rifles. After seeing the five or six corpses at the port, they immediately began to set up defenses, knowing that the enemy must have ambushed the enemy on the opposite side of the port.
"Boom boom boom boom." Just as the British army was panicking, dense artillery fire suddenly sounded near the port, and Zhenguo's howitzers began to fire at the British army.
The British army in the colonies were poorly equipped, and they had only a few mortars to help. Without getting out of defense, the British army's instruments were hit by artillery fire, and only one of the few mortars was left, and the rest were scrapped. The British army did not care about counterattacking the opponent's artillery fire and began to flee to the rear in panic.
Soon the forces of a battalion of Zhenguo Army appeared opposite Luohu Port, quickly occupied the port, guarded the import and exit of each important road, and closed the port.
Then, in the sky, cross helicopters began to fly towards the depths of the New Territories.
At the British base in the New Territories, there were about 2,000 British troops stationed here. When the British army heard the dense sound of artillery sounds from the port more than ten kilometers away, they immediately blew whistles and began to gather. The soldiers at the base began to form a team, preparing to rush to the north to support.
"Standing at the right, looking to the right."
"After receiving a report of enemy attack in Luohu, the Chinese have attacked the New Territories."
“Request support.”
....
The British base was in chaos, with soldiers running everywhere. Some soldiers had just gotten up and brushed their teeth and washed their faces, but were pulled out of the bathroom and gathered on the playground. Some were still squatting and defecating. After pulling them halfway, they put on their pants and got up. They carried guns and ran out to gather.
"No, helicopter." A British sentry first saw the helicopter group flying in the distance. A dark shadow was squealing loudly.
"Look for cover to hide."
"Do not."
The British army was in chaos again and began to search for cover to hide, but it was too late. The ten helicopters sprayed huge flames and began to open fire at the barracks at high altitude. One round of machine shells hit and landed in the British barracks.
"Da da da da da."
"Da da da da da."
The sound of machine guns rang out everywhere, and the British barracks were immediately opened, and the British army fled everywhere, panicking, and some British soldiers raised their guns to shoot, but the bullets were too small for high-altitude helicopters, which can generally be ignored.
A machine gun bullet hit the back of the head of a British soldier who was running wildly. His head was blown up and his brain spilled all over the floor, and he died.
A British barrack collapsed, and two soldiers had no time to escape and were crushed into the barracks, life and death unknown.
"Fight, beat me hard." Battalion Commander Luo Shaobin personally directed on a helicopter and issued combat orders.
The British colonial army in the Far East generally recruited second- and third-rate troops from the country. Their equipment was very poor, and their training level and combat quality were far from that of the local European troops. Similar to the reserve and militia troops, anti-aircraft guns that rarely appeared in the world would certainly not be their turn to equip them, so the battle immediately turned into a one-sided massacre. The British soldiers who did not find a bunker to hide were seriously injured and suffered heavy casualties. After more than ten minutes, the British army suffered more than 200 casualties, and the rest hid in nearby bunkers and fortifications, and did not dare to show up.
"Go back and replenish your ammunition and prepare for the second round of strikes."
"Closing the team." After the shells were almost hit, Luo Shaobin issued a return order in time.
The cross helicopters soon disappeared into the sky, and the British army gradually crawled out of various obstacles, pointing at the sky and shouting, but they were helpless. Several communication soldiers began to look for communication equipment and contacted British camps in other places. Soon, the British Navy Base located in Angchuanzhou immediately received an enemy attack report and began to prepare for combat.
The British port terminal was in a mess, with sailors running everywhere. They ran towards the ships, and more than twenty ships began to warm up one after another, preparing to go to sea to fight.
"Order all ships to leave the port, enter the inland river along the Pearl River, and bomb Guangzhou City." Pierre, commander of the British garrison troops, was extremely angry and slapped the table and issued his orders.
"To take revenge on the Chinese, we must blow up their Guangzhou city."
The beautiful Victoria Bay ships are coming and going, and it is busy. The workers on the dock are busy transporting their goods. This is a natural and excellent deep-water port located inside the bay and can avoid the sea breeze.
"Hurry me, clumsy, what are you doing for food, you guys." A British man in his early thirties was holding a leather whip and whipping a worker on the dock.
The workers rolled on the ground in pain, and several Chinese people next to them gathered around to persuade him, but the British seemed to refuse to listen to the advice and were still trying hard to beat and scold the Chinese who accidentally made a box of goods.
"Look, what is that?" someone suddenly pointed at the sky and shouted.
"Where did the plane come from? Are you going to fight?"
"There are seven stars on it, which should be the plane of Zhenguo Army."
"Zhen Guojun has air strikes against Hong Kong."
The workers on the dock began to be in chaos, put down their cargo, and started running to the shore to find a place to hide, but then they all found that the plane was obviously not coming for them...
