August 15, four days after the Kagoshima nuclear explosion.
In midsummer, Hong Kong, located in the land of Lingnan, is always so hot and sultry under the scorching sun. Even violent thunderstorms that often fall every few days cannot bring much cooling and comfort to people suffering from the heat.
¡ª¡ªThe temperature exceeds 40 degrees during the day, and exceeds 35 degrees at night The air is too hot due to the rolling heat wave, as if the oxygen concentration is too low, making people feel uncomfortable and want to take a deep breath, so that the whole body Weak and sleepy day by day, unwilling to move.
But even in such uncomfortable weather, fierce fighting broke out between soldiers from the two armies on Lantau Island.
After the surrender notice on the 11th was flatly rejected by the Hong Kong Governor Sir Bei Lu, the Third Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army had no choice but to continue the war despite the scorching heat.
The place where the most intense fighting is happening right now is on Lantau Island.
¡ª¡ªAlthough forced by the situation, we have to continue attacking Hong Kong¡¯s stubborn enemy. But first of all, the Red Army was a little uneasy about the forts on Hong Kong Island that were as densely packed as raisins in Christmas pudding, and worried that the sacrifice would be too great; secondly, because of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese on the island, they were restrained and did not dare to use mass destruction. sexual weapons to avoid causing a humanitarian disaster Therefore, the time travelers discussed with the generals of the Third Red Army for a long time, and finally gave up the plan to directly attack Hong Kong Island at the risk of human life, and instead built artillery on the Kowloon Peninsula on the mainland. position, constantly bombarding key parts of Hong Kong's urban area across Victoria Bay, creating an atmosphere of panic; on the other hand, start from the periphery. Gradually remove the British strongholds around Hong Kong Island, cut off foreign aid from Hong Kong Island, and continuously increase the psychological pressure on the island's defenders. Eventually it was crushed and forced to land.
If this method is successful, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army can take over a relatively complete Hong Kong Island, instead of a pile of charred and smoking rubble after street fighting. Under this tactic, in order to clear the outer defense line of Hong Kong Island, To cut off possible foreign aid to the British troops stationed in Hong Kong and reduce the space for the British fleet to move, Lantau Island has become the primary target of attack at this stage.
Lantau Island is located on the west side of Hong Kong Island. With a total area of ??142 square kilometers, Lantau Island is even larger than Hong Kong Island in terms of island size. Even more than Saipan in the Pacific. This island guards two sea lanes on the west side of Victoria Bay, and its geographical location is very important. In addition, if long-range bombardment of Hong Kong Island is carried out from Lantau Island, the Repulse Bay and Stanley anchorage on the south side of Hong Kong Island can be directly bombarded. The British fleet had nowhere to live. Rather than firing off cannons on the Kowloon Peninsula. On the way, he was blocked by Taiping Mountain.
But the problem is that there is no reason why the British troops stationed in Hong Kong cannot judge the truth that the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army can understand.
Therefore, although at the beginning of the battle, two regiments of the Red Army took assault boats from the pier on the north shore of Victoria Bay, forcibly crossed the narrow sea area only a few kilometers wide, and captured Chek Lap at the northern end of Lantau Island with lightning speed. Corner Fort - Since it is a dedicated coastal defense fort, its defensive capabilities on the land side are much worse - however. When the Red Army took advantage of their victory and continued to advance south, they began to encounter resistance.
¡ª¡ªThe British troops stationed in Hong Kong reacted. The small fleet on Hong Kong Island was also urgently mobilized to continuously send additional troops to Lantau Island.
As a result, a new round of all-out fierce battles by sea, land and air broke out around Lantau Island.
At this time, although the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army had control of the air, it was unable to restrict the actions of the British fleet due to the quality and quantity of its aircraft and the difficulty of sea attacks. Modern shore-based missiles were also difficult to attack here due to the complex terrain of Hong Kong waters. A sea area lined with islands was put into use.
In the same way, although the British troops stationed in Hong Kong control the sea, they have to withstand endless aircraft bombings. On the other hand, they are often bombarded by the Red Army's shore artillery in the narrow waters. In addition, they have to contend with the Red Army's Pearl River Fleet. The gunboats were circling, but they were unable to stop the Red Army from landing on the island one after another.
So, the battle quickly turned into a messy small-scale raid, constantly draining the will and blood of both sides
¡°¡Oh, it¡¯s really unpleasant to fight in these hot and smoky dog ??days!¡±
Squad leader Luo Dayong raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Just as he was about to drink some water to moisten his throat, he found that the water bottle on his waist was empty. He had to lick his lips, and then continued to lead the soldiers of his squad. Walk forward on the bumpy mountain road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
¡ª¡ªLuo Dayong was originally a shop assistant in Guangzhou. He was developed into an underground party very early. After the liberation of Guangzhou, he joined the army and continued to make revolution with great enthusiasm. Because he had attended elementary school and knew a little bit about culture, he was promoted to class monitor.He took a group of Guangdong recruits to the battlefield to train for battle.
At this time, the heads of these revolutionary youths in Guangzhou were all shaved, and their 87-style camouflage training uniforms set off the fierce anger of martial arts practitioners.
Although they have only joined the army for less than a month, these Guangdong recruits have already opened their eyes a lot because they have been exposed to so many new things. First of all, there are various personal items, including three sets of camouflage training uniforms per person, two sets of Type 87 army summer uniforms, two pairs of liberation shoes, two sets of singlets and shorts; in addition, there are belts, trouser belts, military satchels, water bottles, Blankets, backpacks, steel helmets, engineer shovels, towels, toothbrushes, enamel cups, plastic washbasins, and a lot of other things The "luxury" of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, the legendary "beggar army", is really beyond the pale. beyond the imagination of all recruits. The few soldiers who were from relatively well-off families were better off. The vast majority of the poor who had only worn rags and didn't even have a pair of straw sandals from birth were so excited that they burst into tears when they received new clothes and new shoes. I swore in my heart that even if it was just for these clothes, I would do a good job!
However, now, after walking for most of the day on the lush Lantau Island under the scorching sun, Luo Dayong wished he could take off all his clothes and simply go into battle shirtless Fortunately, today's hard journey, It was somewhat valuable, because after bypassing an intersection fortification guarded by the British army, they quickly found their target - a warship anchored on the beach not far away and unloading soldiers!
Luo Dayong took a deep breath of the sultry air, turned around and gestured for everyone to hide quickly, and then took off the microphone of the walkie-talkie:
"Dongyao! Dongyao! I am Dongguai! I am Dongguai! I found a British warship in Jianyu Bay! If you hear it, please reply! If you hear it, please reply!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, The novel is better and updated faster!
