However, before there was an echo from the receiver of the walkie-talkie, a scream suddenly broke out from behind, completely disrupting squad leader Luo Dayong's thoughts.
When he looked back, he saw a Red Army soldier in his class with a knife tip protruding from his chest, and he fell softly to the ground.
The remaining Red Army soldiers hurriedly picked up their submachine guns, but before they could pull the trigger, another bush suddenly exploded from the middle, and then a man jumped out from it, holding a sharp weapon in his hand. Scimitar. I saw him kicking off the ground and striking hard with both hands! After a flash of cold light, another Red Army soldier clutched his neck and stared angrilythen he fell to the ground on his back and stopped moving.
All this happened too fast. Before squad leader Luo Dayong could react, a third attacker had already rushed out of the bushes with an angry look and lunged at him with a knife! Luo Dayong, who was also a rookie, quickly raised his gun and pulled the trigger without thinking. He fired a box of bullets in an instant, and then the bullets burst out a few flowers of blood on the opponent's chest However, the situation on the Red Army side was not the same. It didn't get better, because more enemies armed with short knives rushed out of the mountain forest and silently charged at the Red Army squad that was caught off guard.
However, after the initial panic passed, the Red Army soldiers were not to be outdone and fired one after another, causing branches and leaves to fly, earth and rocks to splash, and several enemies to fall on the charging road. After finishing the second box of bullets, squad leader Luo Dayong threw a grenade casually However, this did not delay the enemies coming in like a tide. He soon had to use bayonets to deal with the enemy's scimitars.
? ?Fortunately. At this moment, there was loud gunfire in the mountains and forests behind squad leader Luo Dayong - the follow-up troops of the Red Army followed!
¡ª¡ªThe crossfire of more than thirty automatic rifles and machine guns. He immediately turned the two enemies rushing in front into a hornet's nest. Coupled with several grenades that exploded in the crowd, the enemy troops retreated behind the woods after leaving five or six corpses.
Until this time, Luo Dayong had the time to look at the corpses of the enemies he had just fought with, and then he discovered that they were not white-skinned and red-haired "ghost guys", but all had the same black hair and yellow skin as him, and they had strange hands. The dog-leg-shaped scimitar is probably a local recruit from Hong Kong.
"Bah! Damn traitor!" He spat at the corpses. He rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.
¡ª¡ªIn fact, what Luo Dayong does not know is that these yellow-skinned soldiers are not actually Chinese in Hong Kong, but Gurkha mercenaries in the British army. Because the Gurkhas living in the Kingdom of Nepal at the foot of the Himalayas are naturally brave and fierce, the rulers of many countries in South Asia are willing to recruit Gurkhas as mercenaries. In 1851, the British conquered Nepal to strengthen their rule over India. They also began to form their own Gurkha mercenaries. These Gurkhas served the British loyally, mercilessly suppressed all Asian uprisings, and left a great reputation on the battlefield.
??And on the battlefield in Hong Kong at this time, these Gurkha mercenaries today are worthy of their former reputation, in stealth, assault and hand-to-hand combat. All showed high quality. Although they were temporarily repelled by the Red Army's automatic firearms, at the next moment, when the destroyer "Thracian" on the sea launched a bombardment on the shore, the explosion caused the Red Army soldiers to hide in Tibet and become disgraced. The Kazakh mercenaries came up again.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Instant. Soldiers from the two armies collided fiercely, and swords flashed on the lush hillsides. There was a loud cry of killing.
¡ª¡ªAlthough a considerable number of Gurkhas did not carry guns, so they suffered a little loss during the charge and several were knocked down by bullets. However, when they used the cover of trees and rocks to rush into the middle of the Red Army, The sharp scimitar made the Red Army recruits who had poor stabbing skills suffer a lot - a whole squad of soldiers were killed or injured in just one encounter. Several recruits who had only seen blood in street fights were immediately frightened by the bloody corpses of their comrades lying on the ground. They dropped their guns and turned around to run. As a result, they were slashed from behind with a dog-leg knife before they could even take two steps. Falling to the ground
Luo Dayong, who was caught in a bitter fight, first knocked down an enemy with a gun, then fought with a bayonet, then the bayonet fell off, hit the person with the gun, and finally fought with bare hands Although all his strength was lost in the fierce fight. Little by little he disappeared, but his survival instinct still kept him struggling.
Finally, accompanied by a rumble of engines from the sky and a rain of flames tearing through the air, the Gurkhas, who were also at the end of their fight, could no longer hold on. Amidst the strafing fire from Red Army planes, Leaving behind a pile of corpses, they retreated hastily.
However, before Luo Dayong, who had a chance to escape, had time to raise his head and cheer for the plane, he heard a burst of machine gun fire from behind the hilltop, and then before the pilot had time to parachute,The unlucky plane fell down dragging black smoke, and a bright fireball "boomed" on the beach!
But at the next moment, more planes followed and swooped down towards the British destroyer "Thracian" anchored in the harbor.
¡ª¡ªThe bloody battle between the Chinese and British armies on Lantau Island, by sea, land and air, has just begun
"This morning, our commando team discovered and sank the British destroyer "Thracian" at Jianyu Bay on the southwest side of Lantau Island. However, it also lost three aircraft and a torpedo boat. In addition, In addition, the British fleet bombarded Macau at noon, killing and wounding 19 officers and soldiers stationed there, destroying nearly 200 houses, and creating a serious atmosphere of panic for Macau citizens"
In the frontline headquarters of Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, looking at the battle map full of red crosses, the travelers headed by Wang Qiu couldn't help but frown, "the battle for Lantau Island is endless. British warships are scurrying around in the Lingdingyang waters of the Pearl River Estuary all day again! This afternoon, two British light cruisers passed through the South China Sea and arrived in Hong Kong from Singapore Damn it, do the British want to fight to the end? This is unscientific! "
Except for the stalemate in the battle on Lantau Island. The shelling of urban Hong Kong from the Kowloon Peninsula was also not smooth - considering that the other side of the bank was also Chinese after all, the Red Army was still a little constrained. Only a few military facilities and administrative strongholds such as Taikoo Dockyard and the Hong Kong Governor's Office were targeted for destruction. But the British on Hong Kong Island fought unscrupulously. They used incendiary bombs from the beginning and burned down tens of thousands of houses in the Kowloon Walled City in one go! Later, mustard gas was even used Although the losses of the Red Army soldiers were not great, the local residents were left dead.
As a result, after several days of artillery battle, Hong Kong Island on the south coast of Victoria Bay was covered with rubble, and the Kowloon Peninsula on the north coast was even more devastated. Ordinary people are either displaced and wandering in the scorched earth ruins, or they are fleeing with their families. Panicked like a bereaved dog - the scene was too horrific to watch.
Because the Pearl River Fleet is not powerful, the coastal areas of Lingdingyang are also deeply harassed by the British fleet. The whole situation is like a reappearance of the Opium War.
Although the Red Army flying squadron had been dispatched for days in an attempt to destroy the annoying British fleet stationed in Hong Kong, it had never been able to launch a surprise attack as successful as Pearl Harbor. Even if it achieved something, the price paid was often too heavy. It¡¯s too much to bear¡ªso far. The Red Army sank a total of eight British transport ships, three destroyers, and four shallow water gunboats, but it lost more than forty aircraft!
The declaration of atomic bombing did not deter the British reinforcements fleet - although the battleships and aircraft carriers did not move in Singapore, many destroyers, gunboats and light cruisers were advancing towards Hong Kong. In addition, There were also merchant ships carrying army reinforcements.
In this regard, the Red Army artillery on the Kowloon Peninsula expressed their helplessness - these ships did not enter the waters of Victoria Bay in the north of Hong Kong Island. Instead, it docks at Repulse Bay and Stanley Anchorage on the south coast of Hong Kong Island. The artillery on the Kowloon Peninsula was blocked by the Victoria Peak that stood in the center of Hong Kong Island, and it was really impossible to hit the British navy on the other side of the mountain. In addition to the occasional harassment by the Red Army flying squadron, the British reinforcements could only be allowed to land on the island.
"Can't we find a way to destroy these nasty ships?" Wang Qiu pointed at the map and asked Major Lin Shenhe.
"There's really nothing we can do." Lin Shenhe spread his hands. " By adjusting the firing angle and trajectory, our rocket launchers can hit the Repulse Bay and Stanley anchorage behind Victoria Peak. But they can only hit it. Because the target cannot be seen, the accuracy is completely unreliable. As for cruise missiles The city of Hong Kong is now under full martial law. The underground parties on Hong Kong Island have cut off contact with us, and the reconnaissance team that tried to sneak onto the island was also repelled. If no one is on site to provide laser illumination, then the cruise missiles The destructive power is actually about the same as a rocket launcher!"
"In other words, it all depends on luck" Wang Qiu couldn't help but "shen Yin", " Speaking of which, haven't European and American countries always had a tradition of surrendering in desperate situations? Why is it in Hong Kong now? This colony fought so bravely? It¡¯s almost un-British!¡±
"The reason is very simple, because we have not forced them to a desperate situation." Professor Yang shrugged and replied, "During the Pacific War, Singapore's General Percival did lead 80,000 British troops. The surrender of the Japanese army to 35,000 Japanese troops seemed quite shameful. However, it should be noted that before the surrender, the Japanese army had successfully landed on Singapore Island and fought fiercely with the British army for a week, crushing them from the frontal attack. Demoralized the British army. The Japanese navy also cut off Singapore's external communication lines, making the British army no longer able to rely on its own country for backup
But what about us now? Not even a single beach on Hong Kong Island has been raised with a red flag. Sea control is still in the hands of the British fleet, and air control is not strong enough. Reinforcement fleets from Singapore come one after another in an endless stream Under such a situation, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong How could you surrender? "
" That's true Sigh, these are really a bunch of unrepentant invaders." Wang Qiu rubbed his chin and muttered.
"Compared to the Japanese, the British are already considered kind people!" Ms. Jin Qina suddenly walked in with a pale face and threw a bunch of photos on the table, "This is looking for General Huaizhou. The photos taken on Zhoushan Island, the scene was really tragic!"
Accompanied by a long series of whistles, the American cruise ship "Franklin" hired by the Navy Department. It carried the last batch of U.S. Marines stranded on the front line of the Zhoushan Islands, as well as a small number of fleeing American expatriates. Under the escort of two destroyers, they slowly left the dock of Dinghai Port.
For these American soldiers who are about to go home, all their adventures, adventures and disasters are finally over. They could finally leave the blood, fire and smoke and return to the warm fireplace of their own homes, while drinking whiskey and bragging about their "far east experiences".
And Colonel Whitney, the top commander of this U.S. military, was also standing at the stern of the cruise ship holding a corncob pipe. Looking melancholy at the Zhoushan Island that is gradually receding - in this anticlimactic Far East intervention, he neither won honor nor victory, and did not even really fight against his enemy, the Chinese Bolshevik army. Face to face But no matter what, he persisted until the end.
Now, his last mission. Just take these tired young men home properly.
Thinking of this, Colonel Whitney couldn't help but blow out a smoke ring in a soothing mood However, when he turned around and saw another Japanese merchant ship "Misaki Maru" flying the sun flag, it was following behind it ghostly. , and my mood couldn't help but become gloomy and trembling.
¡ª¡ªBecause, even across such a long distance. It seemed that he could still smell the blood and corpse odor of those people with his nose, and heard the cries of the innocent souls lingering around these oriental dwarfs If possible, he really didn't want to be with these people who seemed to crawl out of hell. The company of evil spirits.
Fortunately, the Japanese ship will dock in Taiwan, and then I can say goodbye to them
at the same time. The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army led by General Huaizhou is looking for the cruiser "Pinghai" as the leader. Starting from the Shengsi Islands, we swept through many islands outside Hangzhou Bay in eastern Zhejiang. Among them, the Kuomintang troops on Qushan Island and Daishan Island were all frightened and surrendered without a fight. However, when the Red Army advance team landed on Zhoushan Island, the largest of the islands, they saw a tragic scene although they encountered basically no resistance:
¡ª¡ªFrom the docks on the seaside to the rice fields inland, corpses are everywhere on Zhoushan Island, and rivers of blood flow!
Thatched huts scattered in the fields and beaches were burned down, and most of the sturdier brick and stone houses were reduced to piles of ruins. The smell of rotting corpses permeating every town is even more disgustingand this was all done by the Japanese army to vent their anger after their retreat from Shanghai!
A scout who had lurked on Zhoushan Island beforehand reported what he saw and heard to General Xunhuaizhou in shock.
"(When the massacre occurred) I was lying in ambush on a high ground in the south. There was a pond not far from me. There were many Japanese soldiers standing by the pond, trying desperately to drive a group of people into the pond. After a while, the pond Then it was filled with people. I saw them in a mess in the water. Some Japanese soldiers by the pond were shooting with guns, and some were stabbing with bayonets on their guns. In the pond, there were people who had their heads cut off, people who had their waists chopped off, and people who had their chests pierced. The broken belly was mixed into a ball, and the water turned red. The Japanese soldiers were laughing and shouting, extremely happy. There were a few living people in the pond, crawling around on the dead bodies, covered in blood. One of the women, hugging Holding a little child, he surfaced from the water and made a plaintive plea to the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers on the shore stabbed him with a bayonet, and stabbed him through the chest. He stabbed the child a second time, only to see the bayonet stab him. The child was stabbed on the bayonet. He raised the gun high and shook it a few times as a plaything. The woman fell in the pond and was not stabbed to death. She wanted to stand up and look at the child. After struggling for a while, she fell down again. The Japanese soldiers cut this woman into several pieces in the same way they massacred others"
Except for a few who have becomeIn addition to the "flesh and blood pond" of mass graves, sporadic corpses can be found everywhere in Dinghai County, Shenjiamen Fishing Port, and several Buddhist temples on the island Due to the sultry heat in midsummer, many corpses have been The rot was infested with maggots and looked horrible.
What made the Red Army soldiers even more indignant was that when 4,000 Japanese troops massacred innocent people in Zhoushan, there were hundreds of American soldiers and at least 3,000 Kuomintang troops on the island. Among them, the American soldiers only wanted to go home and ignored the matter, so that was fine. Among the Kuomintang troops, some were so frightened that they fled in panic and hid in the mountains and forests or on outer islands; but other people helped the evildoers, and joined the ranks of the murderers out of moral integrity, and massacred along with the Japanese invaders. And the Chinese compatriots who robbed themselves!
Regrettably, by the time the Red Army landed, the Japanese troops had already withdrawn to Taiwan, and the Kuomintang troops had also gone their separate ways and were no longer on Zhoushan Island. Even if you want to find the murderer and punish him, there is no way to do it for the time being - but in the final analysis, this blood debt must still be recorded on the Japanese
On August 18, in retaliation for the "Zhoushan Massacre" by the Japanese army, the Red Army launched the seventh nuclear bombing of the Japanese Empire.
Therefore, in the fatal flash of the nuclear explosion, Kumamoto Castle, an important town in the central part of Kyushu Island, followed in the footsteps of Sasebo, Nagasaki and Kagoshima, and was reduced to ashes along with more than 100,000 residents. On the large island, a nuclear radiation destruction belt was formed that ran from north to south.
So far, the total yield of the Japanese archipelago in all previous nuclear explosions this year has exceeded 100 million tons of TNT explosives, and almost half of Japan has been covered in nuclear fallout. But even so, the red-eyed Empire of Japan still refused to surrender to the armistice of the "inferior China people".
¡ª¡ªThe newly enthroned "Emperor Honglue" Yongren righteously denounced the tyranny of the "China Communist Army" and vowed to fight to the end. Major newspapers and periodicals in Europe and the United States wrote enthusiastic articles one after another, fully praising the unrelenting fighting spirit between the Japanese Empire and the Bolsheviks.
However, although the Japanese Empire has shouted the battle cry of "One hundred million pieces of jade" and declared that it will recruit 1.3 million troops to join the army. But before Japan's national economy had time to transition to a wartime system, most of the country's military-industrial enterprises had been destroyed by nuclear bombs, and the industrial base in Manchukuo had not yet had time to build If you don't want the soldiers to carry To fight the Red Army with bamboo swords and spears, we have to find another way.
Therefore, the U.S. mission took the opportunity to express their willingness to provide the Japanese Empire with a batch of small arms and ammunition for use in a life-or-death battle with the Chinese Communist Army, provided that the Caroline Islands, Saipan, and Tinian Islands were ceded. The bases used by the Japanese navy out of the Pacific were used as collateral
"However, while the Japanese Empire's base camp was still hesitant and hesitant, another piece of bad news had already arrived from the north.
