    " Just this morning, the Japanese fleet once again bombarded the coast of Shanghai and began to land at Jinshanwei on the south side of Shanghai"

    In the temporary base at Yuexiu Mountain in Guangzhou, classmate Wang Qiu, who was wearing shorts and a vest, took a telegram he had just received and said to Ms. Jin Qina, "the Japanese risked their lives this time and took away the last bit of the combined fleet.  Your family¡¯s finances are all blocked, aren¡¯t you worried about the situation in Shanghai?¡±

    "What's there to worry about? I already knew about this more than half a month ago, and all the preparations that need to be made have been made. The entire battlefield information is completely one-way and transparent to us, and it is also the home game in Shanghai.  Fight" Ms. Jin Qina put down the pen in her hand, leisurely took a sip of herbal tea to relieve the heat, " If we can still lose the battle like this, then Fang Zhimin and Xun Huaizhou should hang themselves to thank the people!  "

    ¡ª¡ªIndeed, as Ms. Jin Qina said, due to the telegram codes of the Japanese Navy, Army, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs at this time, the time-travelers and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army have been completely exposed in the comprehensive archives provided by the Japanese government in later generations.  Therefore, long before Major General Nagumo Chuichi led the Truk Atoll Squadron to set off from the South Pacific, the Red Fifth Front Army in Shanghai had already grasped the general movements of this final Japanese counterattack force.

    At this moment, in the Shanghai area, there are 80,000 Red Army troops brought back from eastern Zhejiang by General Xun Huaizhou to take charge of defense, Comrade Kang Sheng and the Special Kosovo soldiers who arrived to eliminate the spies, a large amount of ordnance supplies that have been hoarded in advance, and the latest production  The arsenal produces ammunition, and there are air defense and sea defense radars to provide long-range warning.  There are more than 600 aircraft competing with Japanese carrier-based aircraft for air supremacy, and there is also a coastal defense fleet composed of small torpedo boats, gunboats and missile boats If you have such a generous capital and such sufficient preparations.  The 20,000 Taiwanese troops of Lieutenant General Juichi Terauchi were able to tear apart the coastal defenses and break into urban Shanghai. Then the Fifth Red Front Army was really on the same level as the South Vietnamese army during the Vietnam War.

    ¡ª¡ªAccording to Professor Yang's comments on this matter in Guangzhou: "even an ugly girl has to meet her parents-in-law. In any case, children always have to learn from what they grow up, and apprentices always have to try.  Working alone, the Fifth Red Front Army in Shanghai must also have this ability. Without the help of us time-travelers, learn how to fight a modern war on its own - think of it as a graduation exam!"

    And telegrams of the war status were sent one after another from the front line in Shanghai.  It also proved that the Red Army commanders and fighters were indeed fighting well - the Japanese Taiwanese troops who landed on the beach from Jinshanwei were always firmly suppressed on the beachhead and were unable to develop in depth, and were then bombarded to ashes by overwhelming artillery fire.  The carrier-based aircraft on the Fengxiang aircraft carrier were quickly lost in the fierce confrontation, and even the aircraft carrier itself was attacked by air attacks Unfortunately, the flying team of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was still a rookie after all.  There was no training at all to attack warship targets.  Therefore, after a fierce sea and air battle, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier only received one aerial bomb and was slightly injured, while fifteen Red Army fighters and bombers were beaten down by anti-aircraft guns.

    However, Japanese merchant ships and cargo ships carrying the army.  However, it suffered heavy losses during the indiscriminate bombing. One of the passenger ships carried half a regiment of soldiers to reinforce the beachhead of Shanghai. As a result, it was blown to pieces by the Shanghai Red Army's air-to-ship missiles before it reached its destination.  Four hundred people drowned on the spot, and eight hundred people struggled to climb up the nearby beach.  Most of them didn't even have any underpants left - so they were quickly annihilated by the vigilant militiamen.

    On August 3, the Red Navy managed to organize a rather successful raid.  It used missiles and torpedoes to severely damage the Japanese Navy's last battleship "Yamashiro", sank the heavy cruiser Myoko and a destroyer, and bombarded the beach where soldiers gathered from behind the landing Japanese troopsbut itself  Three torpedo boats were also sunk, and one missile boat ran aground and anchored - overall, the gains should outweigh the losses.

    By noon on August 4, the Japanese army's desperate counterattack had completely failed. The landing troops had never been able to break through the beach. However, the armored vehicles of the Shanghai Urban Management Brigade drove directly onto the beach of Jinshanwei in an attempt to force the beleaguered Japanese army.  Pushed into the sea alive.

    On this day, two more Japanese transport ships were sunk, killing 3,000 Japanese troops. Lieutenant General Juichi Terauchi, who was supervising the battle at the Jinshan Guard Front, found that he could no longer devote any effective force to the battlefield and grabbed the  The ammunition brought ashore was also on the verge of exhaustion.

    When he first sent a telegram and then sent a special envoy to ask for help from the Western soldiers of the United States, Britain, and France on Zhoushan Island, but was rejected, Lieutenant General Juichi Terauchi had no choice but to issue a "stop fighting" order in the evening of that day.  , and then with the last more than 6,000 remnants, they almost retreated to the Shengsi Islands on sampans and lifeboats.  The Japanese naval fleet, still frightened, took advantage of the situation to rescue the siege and return home to replenish fuel and ammunition.

      But the aggressive general Xun Huaizhou still refused to give up. He simply recruited various small boats, fishing boats, and gunboats on the spot, and under the cover of air force aircraft, launched a majestic landing operation on the Shengsi Islands¡ª¡ª  The frightened Japanese Taiwanese Army was once again overtaken by the Red Army before it could gain a firm foothold. As a result, Lieutenant General Juichi Terauchi could hardly organize any resistance and fled again, retreating all the way to Zhoushan Island to accompany the Western Allied Forces.

    All in all, Lieutenant General Terauchi Juichi's disastrous defeat of 20,000 Japanese Imperial Taiwanese troops on the beach of Jinshanwei in Shanghai fully verified an irrefutable maxim in modern warfare - large-scale amphibious landing operations without air superiority are basically  Going up is tantamount to collective suicide!

    On the other hand, when the smoke of the Shanghai battlefield gradually dissipated again, the beacon fire of the Lingnan battlefield was raging again.

    On August 6, Peng Dehuai¡¯s Red Army Corps finally completed its rest and replenishment in Huizhou, and immediately launched a southward attack on Hong Kong.

    According to what Mr. Peng lamented after watching the later movies about resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea: " Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that there will be no chance in this life to 'cross the Yalu River with high spirits' and compete with the Americans on the Korean Peninsula.  La! However. Now we can 'cross the Shenzhen River with great courage' to regain the lost territory and beat the British hard. It seems good! Anyway, the British and Americans should not be too different"

    ¡ª¡ªWith almost no resistance encountered, the Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Red Army crossed the Shenzhen River with overwhelming force and marched straight into the hinterland of Hong Kong

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

    ¡°While the Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Red Army swept across the Pearl River Delta and launched a series of bloody battles with the Guangdong and Guangxi armies, the British in Hong Kong did not sleep idle.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough they were amazed by the fierce fighting power of the Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Red Army and were horrified by the monstrous catastrophe that occurred in Japan, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong still had no intention of retreating without a fight: the British Empire of this era.  It is not the island country whose backbone was broken by world wars and economic crises, and was so confused by the "multicultural theory" that it allowed Scotland to vote for independence in the future, but a world hegemon that is still in great power!

    Although Britain's national destiny has been declining, the total area of ??colonial territory under the Mi Zi has reached its historical peak.

    Therefore, in order to maintain the vast colonial empire.  In order to suppress the national uprisings that are raging all over the world, the British army in this era was no less brave and tough than their pirate ancestors - in India, Burma, the Middle East, and Africa, the British army easily carried out bloodbaths  All organized groups who dared to take up arms to resist would cut black people, Arabs, Indians and Burmese Buddhists to pieces.

    The cruel facts prove that in front of all people of color at this time.  The soldiers of the Empire on which the sun never sets are still undisputed first-class soldiers.  Facing any nation outside Europe, the British soldiers continued to maintain the psychological power and arrogance of the noble white race - naturally including the Chinese.

    In short, in the eyes of the arrogant British, China at this time is still a "shabby fourth-class country", and the Chinese army is no different from the era when the Old Summer Palace was burned down more than 70 years ago.  They are still such a group of scattered, fragile, and vulnerable yellow-skinned monkeys.

    Although the collapse of the joint intervention force of the United States, Britain and France on the beach in Shanghai has shocked the Western media.  It also gave a blow to the confident European and American armies.  And then the shocking nuclear explosion in the Japanese archipelago shocked the whole world like never before But all of this was still not enough to make the proud British gentlemen change their usual stubbornness and their attitude toward China.  People's contempt and dissatisfaction - they just blocked their ears and covered their eyes, refusing to admit the reality that their opponents had long been reborn, but insisted that the Chinese Bolsheviks were just a group of beggars with crude weapons. The Chinese were in the defense battle of Shanghai  The victory was not very convincing.  As for the catastrophe that occurred in Japan, it was just a few coincidental natural disasters - Hong Kong newspapers also published a full page of "scientific common sense", mocking the Red Army's "weird theories."

    Of course, contempt turned to contempt, arrogance turned to arrogance, ridicule turned to ridicule, and all kinds of necessary combat preparations were made. The British troops stationed in Hong Kong still tried their best to do their best. Ever since the Red Army marched southward from Jiangxi Province, Hong Kong Governor Sir Bei Lu  Mobilize all the manpower and material resources at hand to urgently repair the fortifications of Drunken Bay and Kowloon Peninsula. At the same time, the world is crying and clamoring for more reinforcements from Whitehall in London and the nearest colony of Malacca.

    And Whitehall in London did take advantage of the repeated entanglements between the Red Army and the White Army in the Pearl River Delta to send several additional batches of reinforcements to Hong Kong.  Coupled with the overseas Chinese and Chinese volunteers recruited by the Hong Kong Governor in Hong Kong, the total number of troops garrisoned in Hong Kong has been reduced from the original number.The number of 4,000 people during the peak period has increased to about 8,000. Hong Kong's defense system has also gone from being riddled with holes and vulnerable in June to being quite confident in August.

    But in any case, for Hong Kong, which has a total area of ??more than 1,000 square kilometers, such a small amount of troops still seems to be a drop in the bucket

    As for the second Far East intervention force that Lord Admiralty Churchill claimed to have completed mobilizing¡ªit claims to have two aircraft carriers, two battleships, six cruisers, 22 destroyers, 15 auxiliary ships, and 120 aircraft of various types.  The aircraft, as well as the huge army regiment of 25,000 soldiers, have been stranded at the Singapore anchorage for some reason, and have been unable to complete the necessary preparations for crossing the sea to China for a long time.

    Therefore, the 8,000 Hong Kong British troops who were isolated in the enemy's territory were temporarily forced to fight alone in front of Peng Dehuai's Red Army. For this reason, the Hong Kong Governor Sir Bei Lu ordered the complete abandonment of the New Territories area in northern Hong Kong in view of the disparity in strength between the two sides.  .  British troops from all walks of life retreated to the fortifications in Drunken Bay and Kowloon, while plainclothes teams were mobilized.  Blasting and destroying roads and bridges in northern Hong Kong to slow down the Red Army's southward advance.

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

    With the launch of the Red Army's Hong Kong offensive, telegrams reporting on the battle situation were sent to the headquarters of the Party Central Committee in Guangzhou like running water.

    ¡°Our military flight team took off from Guangzhou Tianhe Airport at dawn and successfully conducted an air raid on Hong Kong¡¯s Kai Tak Airport, shooting down and destroying about 20 enemy aircraft!¡±

    ¡°¡­The forward ground troops of the Third Army have crossed the Shenzhen River, and there is no fierce resistance from the British troops stationed in Hong Kong in the border area.¡±

    ¡°Bridges and roads in the New Territories were severely damaged, and our army was forced to send engineers to repair them. The ground troops were moving slowly"

    "our Pearl River Fleet failed to break into Victoria Bay, but was blocked at Chek Lap Kok - the firepower of the British Chek Lap Kok Fort was extremely fierce, and another British destroyer immediately attacked. There was a huge disparity between the enemy's and our surface forces, so our Pearl River Fleet had no choice but to temporarily stop  Return to Shekou anchorage"

    "Our army's reconnaissance troops have occupied the commanding heights in Hong Kong, Tai Mo Shan with an altitude of 957 meters. There is very little resistance along the way!"

    ¡°¡­The vanguard of our army met with representatives of the local Maintenance Association in Tuen Mun Town and requested specific instructions from their superiors on how to deal with the incident.¡±

    "In order to break the blockade of the Pearl River Estuary waters by the British fleet stationed in Hong Kong, our flight force once again attacked the British Stonecutters naval port. However, the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower deployed on Stonecutters Island was very fierce, and our army lost fighter planes.  Six, failed to destroy any targets, and returned frustrated"

    "Two British gunboats harassed Daya Bay and shelled our military transport convoy on the shore road. Fortunately, the losses were minor"

    ¡°¡­The plan to attack Lantau Island at night failed, and our landing fleet was expelled and pursued by British speedboats¡­¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Judging from the sand table map in the war room, the main content of the Hong Kong strategy plan of the Red Army is to push southward from the front line of the Shenzhen River and directly attack the Kowloon Peninsula.  Then they fired artillery across Victoria Bay to force the British troops trapped on the isolated island to surrender.  Due to the rugged terrain, mountainous terrain and narrow roads between the New Territories and the Kowloon Peninsula.  Not conducive to the passage of large troops.  The Red Army does not have control of the sea in Hong Kong, so it cannot carry out landings behind enemy lines. Therefore, it can only consider two southward routes - along the Kowloon-Canton Railway in the east, heading south to Shing Mun Reservoir and over Jinshan; and along the west  Castle Peak Road passes through Tsuen Wan.  Finally, it penetrated the British army's urgently repaired drunken bay defense line and penetrated directly into the urban area of ??Kowloon on the north shore of Victoria Bay.

    In the initial stage of this ground offensive, which was to capture the New Territories area north of Tai Mo Shan, the Red Army Corps went extremely smoothly - due to a serious shortage of troops, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong basically gave up the defense of northern Hong Kong.  When the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army soldiers swam nervously across the Shenzhen River, they found no trace of the enemy behind the deserted border post. They only saw a quiet pastoral scenery: in the vast green rice fields, there were waist-high trees growing.  rice.  Under the scorching sun and the gentle breeze, the rice ears are constantly undulating like ocean waves

    Although the bridges and roads along the way were severely damaged, the Red Army soldiers who were used to walking on the mountain roads in southern Jiangxi were obviously not afraid of the hills and quagmire in Hong Kong.  The important thing is that there is almost no resistance from the enemy - it should be said that the enemy cannot be found at all, who knows where they are hiding.

    On the evening of the first day of the Hong Kong offensive, the Red Army reconnaissance team that had sneaked into Hong Kong had climbed to the highest peak in Hong Kong, Tai Mo Shan, and planted a red flag on the top of the mountain.  The main force advancing from the east and west routes has also successfully marched fifteen kilometers south, and occupied the two towns of Tuen Mun and Tai Po the next day, controlling nearly half of the entire land area of ??Hong Kong - but it is not far from Hong Kong Island.  and the core urban area of ??Kowloon?Very far.

    During this period, the Red Army encountered basically no resistance except for symbolic harassment. The main force of the British army was nowhere to be seen, seeming to be hiding in the mist.

    Compared with the smooth progress of the ground attack, the Red Army's surface force's attack on Hong Kong seemed very unsatisfactory - relying on several small ships under 100 tons sent by the time travelers through the time and space gate, the Red Army in Guangzhou managed to  A Pearl River fleet was formed and played a big role in the battle to eliminate the remaining enemies in the Pearl River Delta. In the process of liberating Macau, this small fleet also had a share of the credit

    However, when this small fleet, which had been trained for less than a month, arrogantly rushed from the Shekou anchorage to Hong Kong in an attempt to enter Victoria Bay, their meager firepower was not enough - the British army's casual attack  A destroyer can drive these small boats everywhere.

    That night, the temporary anchorage of the Pearl River Fleet in Shekou was actually attacked by British destroyers at night, and two gunboats were burned on the dock.

    But no matter how you say it, on the whole, this is a day of great progress for the Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Red Army, a day of unstoppable momentum, and a day of gratification.

    However, the real test finally came when the Red Army continued southward the next day, passing through Fanling and Tai Po, and gradually approaching the drunken bay defense line.
