    As predicted by Hong Kong Governor Sir Beru, this Hong Kong Defense Operation Conference was filled with all kinds of gloomy atmosphere of defeatism.

    ¡ª¡ªThere is no way, because no one expected that a war would suddenly break out in Hong Kong, and all preparations were extremely inadequate.

    The British permanent regular army stationed in Hong Kong is generally composed of four battalions. Unfortunately, two battalions have been lost on the reed beach at Wusongkou, Shanghai, and one battalion has been abandoned on Zhoushan Island. It will not return at all for a while.  Not coming.  As a result, the total ground troops remaining in Hong Kong were only one Punjab battalion of Indian soldiers, a small number of white British artillery, engineers and some logistics troops.  In addition, there are several militia organizations of British expatriates and a company of Hong Kong Chinese merchants.  If you include the police and the customs anti-smuggling team, you can probably muster 4,000 troops Obviously, with such a pitiful force, it is far from enough to tightly defend a metropolis with a million people like Hong Kong.  .

    In addition to the lack of troops, the lack and incompleteness of defenses is a bigger trouble - although the British successively built a series of coastal defense forts and barracks fortresses here after they occupied Hong Kong in accordance with the Treaty of Nanjing.  Think of it as a long-term solution.  However, just like the problem of Singapore, the "first fortress in the Far East," Hong Kong's British defenses were all concentrated on Hong Kong Island south of Victoria Bay, mainly to deal with threats from the fleets of other powers at sea.  The Kowloon Peninsula and the mainland part of the New Territories are basically undefended: the Hong Kong government does not have that many troops, nor that abundant funds.  I don¡¯t even think there is a possibility of the Chinese attacking Hong Kong from land!

    Although the Anglo-Japanese alliance has existed in name only after World War II and relations between the two countries have gradually deteriorated, the British have repeatedly discussed the possibility of launching a war against Japan in the future.  And began to study Hong Kong's defensive strategy.  However, due to limited funds and attention, most defense plans remain on paper.

    So, at the special military meeting at the Government House on this day, the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Bei Lu, heard the following report with a depressed look:

    "According to the plan proposed by the War Planning Group of the London Chiefs of Staff Committee in 1927, we should extend the Hong Kong defense line to the Kowloon Peninsula to prevent all potential enemy forces from bombarding Victoria Harbor and Taikoo Dockyard from the Kowloon Mountains, thereby protecting important facilities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.  .

    But the problem is.  Less than two months after the construction of the Drunken Bay defense line across the ridge of the Kowloon Peninsula began at the end of last year, the Hong Kong government's funds and material reserves were in a hurry because of the need to support the Shanghai war.  And had to temporarily stop work, and it is still idle so far.  According to my on-site survey, less than 10% of the entire defense line is currently completed, and most of the fortresses have only laid foundations.  Not even one of the attached artillery pieces was installed.  Basically no real defense capability.  Even if we start emergency repairs now, there will be no time to collect so much cement and steel bars"

    The current top commander of the British forces stationed in Hong Kong, Colonel Josephine, said at the meeting with a sad face, "What's more, even if the defense line has been completed, Hong Kong's existing forces are not enough to maintain such a long front.  , the number of artillery is far from enough so we can only narrow down the target and make the defense of Hong Kong Island the first task. At the same time, we will destroy the roads and bridges on the mainland to slow down the enemy's advance speed"

    "In other words, once the Bolshevik army launches an attack from the north, we can only retreat from the Shenzhen River all the way to Victoria City on Hong Kong Island, hoping to rely on the waves of the sea to stop the enemy? It is really unreasonable! How can we attack Huangpi  So cowardly in front of monkeys!¡±

    Hearing that the military actually made such a cowardly speech at the meeting, a civilian official of the Hong Kong government couldn't help but slapped the table and shouted, "If there is a lack of artillery, can't it be dismantled from the warship? Victoria?  Is the large fleet in the bay just for display?"

    "The premise is that we can find so many brave mechanics who are willing to climb aboard these battleships cursed by the God of Plague." A naval lieutenant commander interjected with slumped shoulders, "In fact, if the fleet can still move  If so, those two battleships would be enough to cut off the enemy's path of advancement with artillery fire, but the problem is" He looked at everyone with lackluster eyes, "everyone knows that our fleet has been summoned by the Lord!"

    ¡ª¡ªIndeed, the current British army in Hong Kong has an ocean-going fleet of nearly 200,000 tons on paper, which is equivalent to four times the total tonnage of the Chinese Navy and far exceeds the entire maritime strength of many countries.  However, since most of the sailors have entered a state of "disease to death" and were buried in cemeteries everywhere, the Hong Kong government's surface forces that can actually be put into combat are only four gunboats and a number of anti-smuggling patrol boats.

    With just this small boat, I am afraid that even the narrow waters of Victoria Bay cannot be blocked, and it is even more difficult to prevent the enemy from taking a detour to land.

      Moreover, even if the artillery pieces are disassembled from the "Dead Ship" and used to strengthen coastal defense, Hong Kong today cannot muster so many trained artillery.

    ¡°¡­Although Hong Kong¡¯s defense situation is not ideal and it faces many various difficulties, we still cannot give up our responsibilities.¡±

    Seeing that the atmosphere at the venue was a bit dull, Sir Beilu could only frown and tap the coffee cup with a small spoon, and opened his mouth to cheer up his subordinates, "Everyone, although our enemy is arrogant and numerous, he is still just a person like  An inferior race that is as good at breeding as rats. Since a century ago, our army was able to cross half the world to punish the barbarians here and help China return to the ranks of civilized countries. Now, we can also hold on to the British Empire.  The Far Eastern Fortress to prevent the red plague from continuing to spread in this world"

    ¡­¡­

    However, while Hong Kong's senior military and political officials are worried about this colonial city with empty defense capabilities, the lower-class British officers and soldiers and British expatriates still hold a blindly optimistic attitude and do not believe in those "despicable yellow people" at all.  Monkey" is his own opponent.

    ¡ª¡ªAt that time, one of the most distinctive psychological characteristics prevalent in white societies in Europe and America was the rampant theory of white superiority.  The extent of discrimination and contempt towards Asians by white Americans and British people.  I'm afraid it exceeds the imagination limit of many people in the future!  Even the Japanese, who are also imperialist powers, are looked down upon by British gentlemen. As for the Chinese who are even more "inferior" and "uncivilized".  Not to mention it.

    Although the previous world war that almost ruined European civilization had emptied the British treasury and drained blood, and made many rational "international observers" feel that the world empire that ruled the sea was crumbling, it did not allow it to think of itself.  The high-spirited British soldiers lost their pride.  After ending the European War and defeating the Germans, the British soldiers shouldered the sacred mission of creating majesty for the entire white world and continued to point their swords eastward again and again - from the Middle East to Afghanistan and then to China.  The British Empire's journey of conquering the world has never ended.  The soldiers of the British Empire have long been accustomed to watching those "despicable" colonial natives tremble and tremble in front of the Union Flag, and are scared to death.

    So despite the looming specter of war.  The whole of Hong Kong still presents a peaceful and leisurely atmosphere.  The cinemas were full, the bars were full of guests, jazz music was constantly playing from the dance halls, and British staff and soldiers on vacation went to the New Territories for outings in groups.

    Although.  Less than a hundred kilometers north of the Shenzhen River border is Huizhou.  At this time, it had already fallen into a fire and smoke

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù

    ¡°Boom¡ª¡ª¡± ¡°Boom¡ª¡ª¡± ¡°Boom¡ª¡ª¡±

    On the Cantonese army's position on the outskirts of Huizhou, groups of planes painted with hammers and sickles roared past, dropping small bombs with parachutes hanging on them, fluttering and spitting out white smoke, followed by bright fireballs.  It soared into the sky with the sound of explosion.

    In an instant, there was thunder and heat waves on the ground that was the size of several football fields.  Trees fell, houses collapsed, and corpses lay everywhere.  Screams were heard all over the sky Under the saturated bombardment of intensive rocket launchers and aviation cloud bombs, the simple position of the Cantonese army was swallowed up by flames almost in the blink of an eye.  All objects on the position, whether it was the hard cannon body or the soft human body, were torn into pieces by the violent shock wave on the spot, and the ground was burned to a white ground in an instant!

    Amidst the huge explosion, bright mushroom clouds rose from the ground, and the flames rolled and expanded around, sweeping away everything like a hurricane.  The violent shock wave even affected the Red Army aircraft fleet in the air, causing them to bump up and down like turbulence.

    Listening to the dying screams coming from the flames, the remaining Cantonese soldiers felt chills in their hearts, wondering when such bad luck would befall them.  There are also many people who have suffered the same fate, either being injured by falling bricks or being burned by splashing flames What's even more frightening is that some unlucky guys will feel a burst of chest tightness even if they are far away.  , breathing began to become uncomfortable, and finally foamed at the mouth, turned purple, twitched and fell to the ground, and even scratched his own throat - because the cloud bomb burned out all the oxygen in the vicinity!

    Therefore, by the time the Red Army soldiers blew the loud charge bugle and rushed to the enemy's position with high morale shouts, the Cantonese Army's positions were no longer even gunshots - those machine gun positions and mortar positions built with sandbags  , everything was in ruins. The Cantonese soldiers squatting in the simple bunkers were either scorched or suffocated to death, or they were so frightened that they urinated, fell to the ground, knelt down and surrendered There was basically no effective resistance organized.

    Looking at the Cantonese army positions that were burned into a piece of scorched earth and rubble on the ground, and the swaying waves in the skyWith the Red Army flying team flaunting its wings and listening to the excited cheers of the Red Army soldiers around them, Comrade Peng Dehuai, commander of the Third Red Army Corps, put down his binoculars feeling a little bored.

    ¡ª¡ªIt¡¯s so easy!  Since leaving Ruijin and launching the southern expedition, every battle encountered has been equally easy and overwhelming!

    Although Chen Jitang's Guangdong army has never been known for being tough and good at fighting, in the face of the completely new Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, it was already so fragile that it could not even retreat. In the process of the Red Army's march south from Ruijin, every incident  When encountering a place where the enemy has gathered heavy troops to defend, they will first use rocket launchers and aircraft to carry out indiscriminate bombing, and rely on cloud bombs to wash the ground and burn out a scorched earth full of ashes.  Then when the Red Army soldiers rushed forward with automatic rifles, all the enemy soldiers who could escape had already escaped. Basically, they only needed to take in the prisoners and collect the enemy's corpses.

    From Meizhou to Longchuan and then to Huizhou, the Red Army Corps fought several battles of annihilation.  However, the Guangdong army seemed to have no intention of learning a lesson. It was always attacked by the Red Army tentatively and began to gather its troops into a group.  In the end, he was burned into a charred corpse in the mushroom cloud of the cloud bomb After succeeding several times in a row, Peng Dehuai seemed to lack a sense of accomplishment when he attacked the Cantonese army again, like a normal person bullying a fool.

    Well, in short, after annihilating the enemy in front, the undefended Huizhou City can be considered captured.  To the south of Huizhou is Shenzhen, and to the south of Shenzhen is Hong Kong, which the British occupied - and captured Hong Kong.  This is the ultimate goal of the Red Army's southern expedition!

    I wonder how the British army¡¯s combat effectiveness compares with these soft-footed and idiotic Cantonese troops?  Is it the fat that is easy to deal with or the hard bone that is difficult to chew?

    Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter whether Hong Kong is easy or difficult to defeat.  The current revolutionary situation is very good, and it can be said that victory is in sight!

    I heard that He Long also fought well in the direction of Guangzhou, beating Yu Hanmou until his orifices bled.  The battlefields in Hunan and Jiangxi were also filled with good news, and the Soviet areas from Guizhou to Shanghai were already connected on the map.  In just a few months, a road was built across the entire South China.  A huge red zone with a population of over 50 million.  Only the battle situation in the northern Central Plains Theater was very critical - after the North China Japanese army defeated the coalition forces of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng and occupied most of Henan Province, they immediately turned around and returned to the Dabie Mountains not long ago to rebuild the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area.  The Red Army, whose foothold was not yet stable, slowly launched an attack on the front.  Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops who retreated to Wuhan also took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area in the Dabie Mountains from behind.

    Under the two-sided attack by the superior forces of the Japanese army and the Kuomintang army, Comrade Xu Xiangqian is currently in a very difficult situation.  It also worries other Red Army teams.  But the trouble is that the location of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area is too bad.  Comrades from other base areas even want to support.  There is also nothing we can do about the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base areas that are isolated behind enemy lines Alas, although the Kuomintang's reactionary warlords are now vulnerable, the Japanese aggressors don't know how long they will continue to show off their power in China!  Peng Dehuai thought sadly while watching the Red Army soldiers cleaning the battlefield.

    What he doesn¡¯t know is that the time-travelers at this moment have once again begun the ¡°final solution¡± against Japanese militarism

    Modern world, Russia, Siberian wilderness, a semi-abandoned secret military base

    Looking at the military green jet transport aircraft on the cement runway that was full of silly, thick black style and seemed to be stained with rust, Wang Qiu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air - for the first time, he felt that complaining was actually a sophisticated skill.  knowledge.  Because when you see that something is full of bad points, but you can¡¯t start to vomit, you will know how important the entry point is. This is where the essence of vomiting lies!

    "Thisis your homemade remote-controlled drone equipped with a nuclear bomb?" He asked Sonia hesitantly.

    "Yes, although the 'Khrushchev' hydrogen bomb with an equivalent of 100 million tons of TNT is really gone at the moment. But there is still one 'Big Ivan' hydrogen bomb with an equivalent of 60 million tons of TNT in stock.  , I think it¡¯s almost enough.¡± Sonia replied proudly, ¡°¡­In order to save you time and body, we have even modified ready-made remote-controlled drones for you! The service must be attentive!¡±

    "I know this. The problem isis this the modified drone you use to carry hydrogen bombs? It's too old!"

    Wang Qiu scratched his hair in great distress, "shouldn't it be an antique left over from the Soviet era? Aren't you afraid that something will happen again? A 100-million-ton 'Khrushchev' hydrogen bomb has already gone missing.  You¡¯re still so careless now¡ªwhat kind of trouble are you trying to make?¡±"It doesn't matter! It is for safety reasons that we did not transport it to the current China. Instead, we asked you to take the wormhole directly to Siberia and teleport it to the time and space of the Republic of China in the base, so as not to  And let this expired nuclear bomb take the risk of flying around in the sky"

    Political Commissar Sonia proudly boasted of her own cleverness, "Anyway, as long as we get this nuclear-explosive suicide drone over there and successfully take off from Shanghai, we won't be afraid of anything else. The worst outcome.  It just didn¡¯t fly over the East China Sea and just fell down midway Well, it¡¯s also possible that it couldn¡¯t be detonated by then and turned into a dirty bomb that caused nuclear contamination in Japan ¨C anyway, it¡¯s not a big deal!¡±

    " Fell into the East China Sea? Max! It seems that even you have no confidence in the safety of this plane?" Wang Qiu shook his head and lamented, " It seems that I have to discuss it with Sister Jin Qina and let her  It is better not to release any declaration of destruction in advance, lest this broken plane will fall into the East China Sea or the Sea of ??Japan, and the Shanghai Soviet government will be laughed at by the world's public opinion circles"

    ¡ª¡ªThe Japanese archipelago is about to endure another nuclear explosion, and the countdown has begun The only difference is that no one knows this time (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
