Chapter 570: Battle of Hong Kong and Macau (2)

Seeing that Jiang Baili had said so, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren and others couldn't say anything else.

Because everyone knows that Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan wear the same pair of pants.

The two of them agreed, and it was basically finalized. Rather than discussing it with them, it was better to announce it.

In view of this, Bai Chongxi said: "Since Mr. Jiang has said so, everything depends on the commission.

But commission, how many of these and how many troops do you plan to deploy to participate in this battle to regain Hong Kong and Macao?"

"Let Mr. Jiang briefly describe this to everyone." Zhang Xinghan gestured to Jiang Baili with his hands raised.

"The committee decided to deploy two naval destroyers, one cruiser, five submarines, and seven landing ships from the Taiwan Border Guard this time, carrying two Marine Corps groups, totaling more than a thousand people.

Landing on Hong Kong was carried out directly from the sea. In addition, on land, two regiments of the Guangdong Army were mobilized to assemble in Shenzhen Bay and attack Hong Kong from there.

In addition, in order to prevent accidents, ten aircraft are being deployed from the direction of Shanghai and Hangzhou as a guarantee for air control," Jiang Baili said.

"In addition, a large number of agents from the Military Command Bureau and the Security Bureau have begun preparations in Hong Kong and Macau. Our agents are still trying their best to instigate and patrol the Chinese police in Hong Kong and Macau. When necessary, they will send troops to the two sides respectively.

The British and Portuguese colonial forces launched an attack to support our landing troops," Zhang Xinghan added.

Hong Kong, the British Empire Governor's Office in Hong Kong.

The 20th Governor of Hong Kong, Earl Law Fuguo, was smoking in his office with a gloomy look on his face.

Since the British Empire declared war on China more than half a month ago, Luo Fuguo has fallen into deep anxiety.

Since the Chinese ** force completely controlled the air and sea, it cut off the British army in Hong Kong from the outside world from the sea.

Therefore, his army could not receive any reinforcements.

A few days ago, he sent a proposal to the local high command regarding abandoning Hong Kong.

However, given that the current situation in Asia, especially in China's southeastern coastal areas, has deteriorated, the Supreme Command rejected his suggestion.

And ordered him to hold on to Hong Kong and the Kowloon Peninsula.

In desperation, Earl Law Fuguo immediately began to build and strengthen Hong Kong's defense lines.

However, due to the inability to obtain external material and military reinforcements.

The British army's defense in the Hong Kong area is still weak.

Count Luo Fuguo knew very well that with the current situation and Hong Kong's unfavorable geographical location, his more than ten thousand garrison soldiers who had never fought in a war would never be able to compare with the wolf-like tigers of the Chinese Army.

.

Hong Kong will eventually fall, it is only a matter of time.

The only hope for Luo Fuguo and his subordinates is that the British and American forces can defeat the Chinese navy and air force on the frontal battlefield. In this way, the British forces in Hong Kong can receive direct and effective support.

However, not long ago, the 1st and 3rd Squadrons of the U.S. Pacific Combined Fleet were defeated one after another, which shattered Count Luo Fuguo's last hope.

Therefore, Luo Fuguo was in an extremely bad mood these days.

While Luo Fuguo was puffing away, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the office.

He looked up and saw his Colonial Secretary Smith hurriedly walking in.

"Mr. Governor, what's bad, according to the latest news from our reconnaissance troops on the frontier of Kowloon, the Chinese Army has sent more troops to Shenzhen Bay." Smith said as he came in.

Luo Fuguo looked startled, then reacted: "Is the Chinese attack about to begin?"

"It should be, Lord Governor. What should we do? With our current strength, it is difficult to block the attack of the Chinese team." Smith was a little nervous.

Luo Fuguo said angrily: "What else can we do? We are soldiers of the British Empire. We must fulfill our mission and fight with the Chinese Army to the last moment!"

…………

In late March of the 26th year of the Republic of China, a dozen Flying Fortress bombers took off from Guangzhou Airport, escorted by five Zero fighter jets, and flew over Hong Kong.

With accurate information provided by agents of the Secret Service who had been lurking on the island for a long time, an accurate air strike was carried out against the Hong Kong British army at Kai Tak Airport on the island.

Five British fighter jets and eight civilian aircraft were destroyed instantly.

In just a few minutes, the Chinese Air Force easily gained control of the air.

Subsequently, the naval task force entered Hong Kong and began, with the assistance of the air force, to carry out violent bombardment of the British coastal defenses in Kowloon and the Bay area.

At the same time, two elite regiments of the Cantonese army transferred from Guangzhou and four Cantonese army camps originally gathered in Shenzhen Bay, a total of more than 5,000 people, also crossed the Shenzhen River and launched an attack on Kowloon Island along the Kowloon-Canton Railway.

.

After more than half an hour of bombing and naval artillery shelling, more than a thousand Chinese Marine Corps soldiers landed in separate groups from Clear Water Bay on the east side of Kowloon Island, Tseung Kwan O, and Tai Long Bay in Sai Kung.

Under the cover of powerful fire support from naval gun groups and air force fighter planes, more than a thousand Marine Corps soldiers from the Northeast Border Guard were unstoppable along the way.

It was actually faster than the advancement of more than 5,000 elite Cantonese troops.

When the elite Cantonese army encountered a determined blockade by the British army in the Sheung Shui, Sha Tau Kok and Yuen Long areas, they fell into a stalemate.

In just two hours, more than a thousand elite Marines quickly penetrated into Tseung Kwan O on Kowloon Island and the hinterland of Sai Kung.

The British troops on the island could not resist and retreated hastily to the southwest.

The attack started in the morning, and by two o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Marine Corps eliminated all remaining enemies in the Saigon area and began to advance towards the hinterland of Kowloon Island.

Due to the loss of the Saigon area, the British troops who resisted the attack of the Chinese Cantonese army in Sha Tau Kok, Sheung Shui and other places were forced to abandon their defense lines and retreat southward.

More than 5,000 Cantonese troops immediately took advantage of the situation and captured the British defense line. After receiving the notice, they quickly divided their troops to pursue the British troops.

In Tuen Mun and the New Territories area, they caught up with part of the British army and, after fierce hand-to-hand combat, eliminated the enemy in front of them.

At the same time, the Marine Corps also advanced to the Sha Tin District area, and the British army was forced to completely abandon its defenses on the Kowloon Peninsula.

Seize the road and evacuate to Hong Kong Island and outlying islands.

In the evening, the Marine Corps and the Cantonese Army met in the Sham Shui Po area.

That night, agents from the Bureau of Secrecy and the Bureau of Military Control lurking on the main island of Hong Kong jointly mobilized a large number of Chinese police officers and workers to attack the British barricades, transportation lines, etc.

The British soldiers on the island were panicked and their morale was low.

At the same time, with the cooperation of the agents, a Navy cruiser and two destroyers began to launch accurate targeted clearing bombardments on the coastal defenses around Hong Kong Island. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.
