    In the dim light of dawn, clusters of orange-red fire suddenly lit up.  The overwhelming rockets were shot out from the Tai Mo Shan position, making a scream that tore the air, and flew towards the western section of the drunken bay defense line like a goddess scattering flowers This was a gorgeous scene like a meteor shower, even in the  The urban area of ??Kowloon Peninsula is also clearly identifiable.  The British soldiers on the battlefield would naturally not fail to notice such an obvious movement.

    Therefore, with the shouts of the night sentries and the whistles and scolds of the officers, the British soldiers, with the excitement and pride of winning the first battle, hurriedly got into the trenches and gun holes to withstand the enemy's attack.  shelling.  The British artillerymen on the Drunken Bay defense line began to nervously observe and judge the enemy's artillery positions, biting their pencils to calculate ballistic elements, and prepared to counterattack the Red Army's artillery positions.  At the same time, at the Stonecutters Naval Base not far away, there were also piercing whistles and bugles, loud roars and orders, and the chaotic sounds of running and stepping.

    ¡ª¡ªThe scene of large-scale rocket bombardment, although impressive and full of flames, was far from enough for British officers who had withstood the bloody hell test of the French trenches and the Battle of Jutland during the World War.  Scare them off.

    However, to their expectation, after the Bolshevik shells landed, they did not erupt with deafening roars and bright and hot flames. Instead, they only made a slight crackling sound, and then began to spray out milky white "chichi".  Fog - this rather horrifying discovery made the pupils of British officers and soldiers shrink instantly: in the trenches of the last world war.  They had all seen the German gas warfare.

    " Poison gas! Poison gas! This is the Chinese poison gas bomb! Everyone wear masks!" A tall officer roared, while he hurriedly took out the gas mask from his waist and put it on his face.  At the same time, he also signaled his subordinates to do so Unfortunately, not every British soldier has a gas mask: First of all, those colonial troops recruited from India and Hong Kong were not even issued such high-end, foreign-style and high-end masks.  technological products; secondly, many white soldiers who were issued gas masks did not carry such gadgets, which were regarded as cumbersome in the East, with them for the convenience of movement - who would have thought that those inferior and ignorant yellow-skinned monkeys on the opposite side could actually  Playing with poison gas like the Germans?  !

    therefore.  These careless guys could only put a wet towel on their noses and hope that they could get through it casually.

    During World War I, there were indeed many lucky soldiers.  Just relying on such crude methods, he saved his life in the poison gas war.

    Regrettably, science and technology in this world are always developing and progressing.  Like the old poison gas developed during the First World War, in terms of its power to harvest lives.  How can it be compared with the military Soman gas in the 21st century?

    ¡ª¡ªSoman.  The chemical name is isoethyl methylfluorophosphate. It is a colorless liquid with a faint fruity aroma. It has a rapid poisoning effect and has no specific antidote. Therefore, it is known as the "most difficult poison to prevent".  Its toxicity is about three times that of sarin. According to relevant data, adults can die within a minute after inhaling a few puffs of higher-concentration soman vapor.  Before.  The U.S. troops invading China and the Kuomintang troops had already been exposed to Soman gas once on the battlefield in eastern Zhejiang, and they knew to some extent how powerful it was.  But sadly.  The British army has not yet suffered such a lesson.

    As a result, along with the rapidly spreading fruity aroma, the sweet and attractive but deadly Soman gas quickly drifted into the nasal cavities of the British soldiers The next moment, everyone who inhaled the gas felt dizzy.  , chest tightness, tears streaming down his face, before he could figure out what happened, he fell to the ground like an insect sprayed by insecticide, covering his neck hard, foaming at the mouth, and twitching his limbs and then he fell to the ground again.  He couldn't move either.

    Although the British army, which had experienced the test of world war, was not incapable of dealing with gas warfare, a considerable number of soldiers had already put on gas masks at this time.  But the problem is, the reason why soman, a nerve gas, is terrible is that it can not only be absorbed by the respiratory tract, but even if the attacker quickly puts on a gas mask, soman can directly penetrate into the skin and make people infected. It is not  You can get through it by blocking your mouth and nose and holding your breath - its toxicity is so strong that it can kill people directly through exposed skin!

    Therefore, those British soldiers who put on gas masks and thought they were safe usually did not survive for a few more minutes before they could no longer stabilize their bodies and fell softly into the mud one by one, unable to scream.  He couldn't move his limbs despite the sound, and could only die quickly in convulsions all over his body

    Only a very small number of British troops who were downwind or in underground tunnel fortifications did not suffer disaster in the first place, but they may not be able to persist until the end - when using Soman gas, not only can living creatures be directly smoked  Turning over will also cause damage to the ground and materials.?'s poison can penetrate into every corner of the battlefield in a short period of time through flowing water sources without anyone being able to detect it.

    ¡°In short, after suffering the devastation of Soman gas, the Hong Kong government¡¯s defense line at Drunken Bay, which was painstakingly managed, has almost collapsed.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In the Stonecutters Island Naval Base further away, because it is surrounded by water, the strong sea breeze has blown away the poisonous fog, and the sealing performance of the battleship itself is not comparable to that of field fortifications, so the mortality rate of sailors is relatively low.  But under the continuous saturation bombardment, it has also fallen into panic.

    However, no matter what, at least the British fleet has not completely lost its combat effectiveness

    ¡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

    ¡°¡­Boom¡ªBoom¡ªBoom¡ª¡±

    Although the nearby Drunken Bay defense line has fallen into complete silence, the British sailors at the Stonecutters Naval Base still insist on firing artillery shells from the warships to the ground battlefield.  However, due to the lack of data reported by the ground observation posts, the seaplanes that took off for emergency calibration and firing were also beaten down by the Red Army's individual air defense missiles Therefore, the British fleet at the Stonecutters Naval Base could only fight randomly.  , the result was that it deviated from the Red Army rocket launcher position at Tai Mo Shan by at least several kilometers.  Apart from blowing up some mud and vegetation, it did not cause any damage to the Red Army soldiers.

    "The British sailors were fighting lively in the harbor, but their land defenses were very quiet"

    Commander Peng Dehuai holds a high-power telescope.  Standing on the Red Army rocket launcher position in Tai Mo Shan, overlooking the silent front line in front, and the water of Victoria Bay sparkling in the morning sun further away, "can we disintegrate the enemy's formation with just such a poisonous gas attack?  It always feels a bit unreliable! I remember that Zhang Xueliang also released poison gas on the battlefield in Hebei, but it turned out to be useless and almost became a big joke"

    "Mr. Peng. Don't confuse the crappy poison gas now with our Soman gas." Wang Qiu rolled his eyes and replied, "According to the actual combat experience of our time, as long as a spoonful of Soman gas is used,  The poisonous gas concentrate fell to the ground. No vegetation grew within thirty meters. After a jar of Soman poisonous gas concentrate was evaporated and vaporized, every creature in a village or town, from cats and dogs to living people, would be spared."

    "Is it so powerful?" Peng Dehuai blinked in disbelief, "butthe British should have gas masks, right?"

    "the so-called gas masks in Europe and the United States these days are mostly just putting a piece of activated carbon in front of the nose. Even Tabun and Sarin may not be able to prevent it, let alone Soman." Wang Qiu patted his chest confidently.  Guo Bao said, "In addition, although most poisonous gases sound very scary, for an industrial country, the cost is actually quite low - because their essence is organophosphorus poisons. Just find a chemical company that manufactures organophosphorus pesticides.  It can be produced in a factory, and the cost is not much different from pesticides. It can be called a cheap and high-quality killer"

    "This sounds pretty good. In the future, the Red Army will also find a way to build its own poison gas factory. It will need your help with materials, equipment and formulas." Peng Dehuai continued.  "Buthow will our soldiers pass through the poisonous gas and invade the enemy's position later?"

    " As far as I know, the simplest way is to use gasoline incendiary bombs to burn out the poisonous gas. If you use a higher-temperature thermite incendiary bomb, the effect will be even better" Wang Qiu replied, "  So, in another half hour, when the British troops on the opposite side are almost poisoned, we will launch a round of high-heat incendiary bombs towards the Drunken Bay defense line to open an attack channel for our soldiers Of course, chemical protective suits and decontamination equipment,  We have all prepared them. These things are piled up in our strategic reserve warehouse over there, and many of them have not been touched until they have expired. We just need them this time"

    ¡­¡­

    Sure enough, when a new round of incendiary bombs ignited a raging fire on the British position, and two battalions of Red Army commandos, wearing chemical protective suits and gas masks, touched it carefully, the last line of the Drunken Bay defense line  In this section on the west side, almost only the undead are stationed

    As a result, the Red Army soldiers, with almost no losses, penetrated the seemingly impregnable Drunken Bay defense line from the Shing Mun Reservoir and Jinshan area on the west side, and then went straight to Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport south of the defense line, completely crushing it.  The defense system of the British troops stationed in Hong Kong on the mainland

    Immediately afterwards, a landing fleet composed of speedboats and assault boats, carrying hundreds of selected Red Army death squads, braved the fierce fire of the British fleet, broke through the interception of the Chek Lap Kok Fort, and fought all the way into Victoria.  Bay, went straight to the Stonecutters Naval Base, and then launched an extremely bloody street battle and hand-to-hand combat in an attempt to seize control of the British sailors.Seize these warships.

    This bold move immediately aroused the sensitivity of the British troops stationed in Hong Kong. At this time, the Stonecutters anchorage was not only anchored with several newly arrived destroyers, but also the entire crew of the previous ship that had been killed by nuclear radiation.  The paralyzed grand fleet included more than ten mighty battleships and cruisers, with a total tonnage of more than 200,000 tons If such a fleet, which represents the pride of the British Empire, could easily fall into the hands of the Chinese Bolshevik Party  In the hands of this mortal enemy, the Royal Navy of the British Empire should really jump into the sea en masse.

    Unfortunately, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong did not have that many manpower to operate these warships. Even if they gathered enough sailors, they would not have time to start the engine. The engines of large warships take at least an hour and a half from starting to starting, let alone other engines.  All kinds of tedious preparation work.

    Under such circumstances, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong, who had no time to move their warships, had no choice but to fight to the death with the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army at the Stonecutters Naval Base.

    so.  Although the Red Army dispatched its entire fleet from the field airport in Huizhou after dawn and continuously bombed various docks on Hong Kong Island.  Attack British ships in Victoria Bay to clear obstacles for ground troops.  But the red-eyed Hong Kong Governor actually collected a large number of small motorboats and took advantage of their small target and fast speed to transport reinforcements to Stonecutters Island bit by bit like ants moving!  In addition, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong also concentrated the last few mobile ships in Victoria Bay, using their anti-aircraft guns to provide air defense cover for the reinforcements.

    That¡¯s it.  The narrow Victoria Bay suddenly became a burning and boiling sea.  Various motorboats, gunboats, destroyers, aircraft and coastal defense anti-aircraft guns formed a melee here Upon seeing this, the Red Army rocket launcher position on Tai Mo Shan also adjusted its range and began to shoot towards the south shore of Victoria Bay.  High-explosive bombs poured into Taikoo Dockyard and Central Pier on Hong Kong Island, blowing up these strategic military locations and turning them into a sea of ??flames.

    However, Victoria Bay separates Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula.  It's just too narrow.  Even in such a bloody fight.  Still, thousands of British soldiers successfully crossed to the other side.  Coupled with the British troops who withdrew from the fortresses at the eastern end of the drunken bay defense line that had not been bombarded by gas bombsthis caused the Red Army to encounter great resistance on the Kowloon Peninsula when they continued southward from Kai Tak Airport.  Almost every hilltop and every street has to be fought over again and again.  Not only was the sacrifice huge, but the advance was extremely slow, and no matter how much we urged, it was useless.

    By noon the next day, the last batch of British troops finally withdrew from the Kowloon Peninsula, Devil's Hill and Stonecutters Island anchorage on the north coast, and retreated to Hong Kong Island on the south coast of Victoria Bay.  But the Red Army also had no joy of victory - before that.  The British army has successfully moved away most of the light ships at the Stonecutters anchorage, leaving only those warships that were too late to leave.  The sea gates at the bottom of the ships were also opened, and they were filled with water and sunk on the spot next to the pier of Stonecutters Island anchorage. The Chinese workers and peasants Red Army soldiers who finally captured Stonecutters Island gained almost nothing in this naval base.

    Next, the Red Army did not continue to launch a new offensive. Instead, it stationed and rested on the spot. It sent several small teams to mop up the remaining enemies behind them and collect the corpses of both the enemy and ourselves. To save trouble, the engineers of the Red Army were collecting the corpses of the enemy.  After they were put together, they were piled directly on the beach, then poured with gasoline and set on fire.  The fire continued to burn for more than two hours, and even the Hong Kong citizens on the other side could clearly see it.

    After nightfall, the cooks brought dinner to the frontline officers and soldiers. The high-intensity battle throughout the day had already made everyone feel exhausted and hungry. No one had the courage to speak. Everyone just sat around in silence.  On the ground, I put the food into my mouth one spoonful at a time.

    At the same time, the former enemy headquarters of the Red Army, which was urgently transferred to Kai Tak Airport, was a smoky scene. More than a dozen large smoking guns were fully fired, spitting harmful gases outwards, and at the same time, they were arguing fiercely about what to do next.  Tactical strategies for attacking Hong Kong Island.

    ¡ª¡ªThrough these days of fighting, everyone has a concrete understanding of the true strength of the British army: this is not a third-rate army with low morale and chaotic thinking, but a group of professional soldiers with strict discipline and strong will.  It is actually not easy to defeat them head-on.

    Moreover, the defense system that has been continuously improved on Hong Kong Island for nearly a hundred years is far more difficult to deal with than the hastily built Drunken Bay defense line. In order to effectively control this important Far East stronghold, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to build multiple coastal defenses.  Fort to ensure the safety of the waters surrounding Hong Kong Island.  Guarding the western entrance of Victoria Bay are Stonecutters Island Battery, Seymour's Ridge Battery, Jubilee Battery, and Upper Belcher Battery; the eastern entrance is Pasir Ris Bay Battery and Cape Collinson Battery; and the Crane Battery in the southeast of Hong Kong Island  Bogara Fort, Tak Kee Kok Fort, Stanley Fort, Wong Ma Kok Fort, Chung Hom Kok Fort on the Tsui Peninsula; southwest of Hong Kong IslandThere is the Aberdeen Fort.  On Lantau Island to the west of Hong Kong Island, there is also the Chek Lap Kok Fort At present, except for the Stonecutters Island Fort on the north shore, which has been destroyed, the other forts are still intact even under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Red Army flying squadron.  Basically maintaining the firepower.

    Therefore, these densely packed coastal defense forts, coupled with the British naval fleet stationed in Hong Kong, have almost turned Hong Kong Island into a hedgehog covered with thorns, making it difficult to eat from any position.  If they attack by force, the trapped British troops stationed in Hong Kong will inevitably make the Red Army soldiers pay an unbearable price.  Considering the hundreds of thousands of Chinese residents crowded on the island, the Red Army cannot rashly use poison gas on the densely populated Hong Kong Island to avoid causing a major humanitarian disaster to its compatriots and thus affecting the positive image of the Red Army at home.

    In the end, it was Wang Qiu who stood up and expressed his opinion, "the reason why the British troops stationed in Hong Kong still fought so tenaciously even though they were isolated in mainland China. On the one hand, it was probably because they were still facing the reinforcement fleet stationed in Singapore.  We have hope, but on the other hand, we probably have some doubts about the nuclear weapons we possess In this case, why don't we organize a nuclear bomb launch in Hong Kong to shock people's minds?"

    He said to everyone in the headquarters, "it's time to clean up the Japanese fleet that retreated from Shanghai" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
