    On the outskirts of Hong Kong, where Battelle's armored troops were on standby, General Tang Qiuli, commander of the ** Division, had just been restricted by his deputy commander of the Special Guards, Lieutenant Colonel Fu Qiang. If it weren't for the dignified general commander,  , took the initiative to compromise. At this moment, he should be in the armored command vehicle, being closely protected by the special guards.

    The cause of the matter is very simple. As the attacking troops completed the division and encirclement of the Japanese defense system in Hong Kong, the battle of Hong Kong was basically finalized. Hong Kong was completely occupied. It was just a matter of time. Tang Qiuli's heart began to feel alive again.

    He said to Zhao Yuhe: "Chief of Staff, do you want to go to the front line and watch a real battle? Urban street fighting is a university subject."

    Of course Zhao Yuhe wanted to go. After being transferred from the East Point Headquarters to the division headquarters, he became increasingly far away from the sound of gunfire and had the opportunity to observe the battlefield situation closely. Of course he would not miss it. A division commander and a chief of staff, two  They hit it off immediately and got into the car and were about to leave. Battelle rolled his eyes a few times, wanting to stop him, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to. He was really worried about his brother's safety. Fighting was happening everywhere in downtown Hong Kong. What if something happened?  Unexpected, how could this happen? I still regret it to death!

    When he was anxious and helpless, Fu Qiang, the deputy captain of the Special Guards, spoke. His sturdy body blocked the armored command vehicle directly, and said with a serious face: "I'm sorry, division commander, according to the division's protection regulations for you,  You cannot enter the area where fighting is taking place, and the Chief of Staff cannot go to dangerous places. Please ask the two officers to get out of the car, otherwise, I will order the special guards to take coercive measures!"

    Tang Qiuli was stunned. After he came to his senses, he said with some displeasure: "Fu Qiang, I order you to take your people and follow me immediately. The city is already under the control of our troops. Another ride  How could an armored command vehicle be dangerous? I¡¯m not just a piece of paper!¡±

    In fact, Tang Qiuli had his own ideas. He was really thinking about Shan Hu.  According to the area currently controlled by the troops.  As long as he passed through several warring areas, he could reach the secret contact point where Shan Hu was currently recovering from his injuries. He really couldn't give up such an opportunity.  If you don¡¯t see Shanhu safe and sound with your own eyes, you won¡¯t be able to eat or sleep well!

    Fu Qiang was unmoved and continued to say seriously: "Division Commander. Chief of Staff. Please two officers, please abide by the regulations of the division headquarters," after saying this.  Still feeling it wasn't strong enough, he waved his hand and a dozen special guards came up.

    Fu Qiang looked at Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe and went to order the special guards: "Execute my orders. If the division commander and chief of staff act without authorization, special security measures will be taken immediately. Do you understand?"

    Of course the special guards understand, Captain Fu Qiang.  This is to be responsible for the safety of the division commander, so why not feel the same way? They all agreed loudly: "Yes, captain. Resolutely execute the order and be ready to enter special security procedures at any time!"

    Tang Qiuli stared at Fu Qiang for a long time, then smiled and said: "Okay. Captain Fu Qiang, you win. It's okay if I don't go, Yuhe, it seems we can't leave. Get off the car and rest."  !¡±

    A general division commander, a major general chief of staff, and two core figures of the ** division, under the supervision of Fu Qiang, got out of the car obediently. Fu Qiang was still uneasy and did not receive the car key in his hand. Battelle came over.  , patted Fu Qiang's shoulder, secretly extended his thumb, with a look of approval on his face.

    Fu Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered to Battelle: "Bat'er, I was really sweating just now. If the division commander gets angry, it will be really difficult to handle." They were all veterans who fought in the Indo-China Peninsula from the Northeast.  Brothers, when talking to each other, don't hide it.

    Battle leaned over his head and replied in a low voice: "Fu Qiang, you are right. You have a great responsibility, so you must learn from Brother Huzi." If he had anything else to say, the communications staff officer came back and said, "Report to the commander, directly under the corps."  Brigadier Liu Hongzhang of the First Brigade wants to speak with you!¡±

    Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe also heard the words of the communications staff. They looked at each other and Tang Qiuli said: "Yuhe, it seems Liu Hongzhang is in trouble. Please ask for help from Battelle's tanks. The trouble is not over yet."  Xiao! With Liu Hongzhang¡¯s temper, he will not be embarrassed to ask for help unless it is absolutely necessary!¡±

    Battelle took over the walkie-talkie, listened for a while, and immediately said: "Okay, Brigadier Liu, I will immediately dispatch two tank companies according to the direction you specified, and they are expected to arrive within an hour."

    Tang Qiuli asked: "Battle, is Liu Hongzhang's unit in trouble?" Battle briefly explained the situation, "Commander, let me think about it. I need to lead the team myself. The tanks are in the urban street fighting."  The role must be summed up in actual combat. This is a rare opportunity!¡±

    Tang Qiuli hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, hand over the command. You can lead the team yourself. Bring a tank battalion with an armored vehicle company. In addition, the marching route, try to stay within the area controlled by our troops. Ten thousand Japanese soldiers carrying out suicide bombings are not enough to defeat you alone. Pay attention to safety!  "

    Where the tank troops were on standby, the roar of tank engines immediately sounded. Battelle, leading a tank battalion and an armored vehicle company, took advantage of the darkness and rushed into the urban area of ??Hong Kong where gunshots were heard one after another and firelight was shining everywhere.

    It wasn't until he couldn't see anything anymore that Tang Qiuli withdrew his worried gaze and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, send a telegram to Qi Hanzhi and order the special operations detachment to dispatch a team of more than fifty people to support Liu Hongzhang and deal with it.  The special operations detachment should be more suitable for this kind of barricade fortification than Battelle¡¯s tanks!¡±

    At around nine o'clock in the night, Liu Hongzhang, who had been holding his breath for several hours, finally heard the roar of the tank. When Battelle jumped out of the tank, Liu Hongzhang was startled. He hurriedly went up to meet him and said, "Commander Battelle."  , Why did you come in person? Didn't I just ask for a few tanks? The division commander approved it? "

    Looking at the burn marks on the outer shell of the tank, Liu Hongzhang stared, and then said: "Good guy, it's dangerous along the way, the little devils are all fucking lunatics, they bite everyone they see!  "

    Battle smiled. On the way here, he encountered several attacks by Japanese skirmishers. However, they were all weapons such as grenades, which did not pose a threat to the tanks at all. The parallel machine guns on the tanks and the heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles did not hesitate.  , tore these Japanese soldiers who didn¡¯t want to live into pieces and beat them away, but they were safe.

    Battelle and Liu Hongzhang were studying tactics. Qi Hanzhi, chief of staff of the special operations detachment, personally led two teams and more than a hundred special operations team members to follow the division commander's orders and came to support Liu Hongzhang.

    Qi Hanzhi stood at attention and saluted, "Report to Commander Battelle, Brigadier Liu, and Chief of Staff of the Special Operations Detachment Qi Hanzhi. Following the order of the division commander, he led the team to support the battle here. Please give orders to the two commanders!"

    While Liu Hongzhang returned the courtesy, his face felt hot, and he secretly complained in his heart, "Well, the trivial matter got so big that it alarmed the division commander. Not only did Battelle personally go into battle, but even the chief of staff of the special operations detachment came to help. This  It¡¯s so embarrassing even if you don¡¯t want to be famous!¡±

    The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I hated the Japanese soldiers in that building. Battelle and Qi Hanzhi were both here to assist Liu Hongzhang. The battlefield commander was naturally Liu Hongzhang. His tactics were very simple. He only needed to dispatch a few  One tank, covering one platoon of infantry at a time, rushed through the open space in front of the building and reached the blind spot of the Japanese soldiers' shooting. The mission was completed. The rest, the troops of the first brigade, would naturally take care of it.

    Battelle and Qi Hanzhi exchanged glances with each other and raised no objections to Liu Hongzhang's tactics. When it came to commanding field infantry, the two of them were really ashamed in front of Liu Hongzhang. However, Battelle had his own ideas.

    He said politely: "Brigadier Liu, let me add that for the first attack, we can test the intensity of the Japanese firepower and the maximum distance that the tanks can approach. Four tanks attack at the same time, but without accompanying  Infantry, what do you think?"

    Qi Hanzhi also said: "Commander Liu, I also have an idea. After the exploratory attack, the first wave of assault troops will be served by the special operations detachment. For such a fortress attack, the special operations detachment may be more suitable!"

    Liu Hongzhang opened his mouth. He knew clearly that what the two commanders who led the team to support him made sense. In this situation, it was not the time to save face and be competitive. He nodded and said: "Yes.  Okay, let¡¯s do what you two said, but Chief of Staff Qi, the special operations detachment only needs to occupy the first floor of the building, and let our first brigade do the rest!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang's request was somewhat unreasonable, but both Battelle and Qi Hanzhi understood his mood. After all, the corpses of more than twenty First Brigade soldiers were lying in the open ground. It was understandable that they were eager to avenge their subordinates.  !

    Four tanks rumbled up. The building, which had been silent for a long time, was like a poisonous snake waking up after hibernation, showing its ferocious fangs. All kinds of guns were shooting at the tanks crazily. In the night, bullets hit the tanks.  Strings of sparks flew off the armor, but they did not cause any damage to the tanks. The four tanks continued to approach the building.

    The Japanese soldiers in the building became anxious and threw grenades one after another from the windows, "Boom, boom, boom!" Even with the continuous explosions, there were clouds of fire, and shrapnel hit the armor of the tank, making a "clang" sound.  "Clang" crashing sound, gunpowder smoke and firelight flooded the tank, and the hearts of all the soldiers were lifted!

    Liu Hongzhang glanced at Battelle worriedly, only to find that this major general, who was only in his twenties, had a nonchalant look on his face. He was holding the telescope steadily with both hands and observing the situation intently. It seemed that he had a smile on his face.With a sarcastic sneer, Liu Hongzhang's mood also relaxed.

    But at this time, Barter, who was observing carefully, suddenly felt his muscles tighten, like a leopard ready to pounce at any time, and he discovered an abnormality.
