Because there is no logistical supply, President Meng did not dare to turn on the bombing mode, and the bombing would run out of shells in less than an hour, and this time more than 100 mountain guns from the British army camp in Tianjin were also brought, but because of the number of artillerymen, plus there was no drill, and they were not familiar, so they were not put into use, and the artillery regiment still used the familiar German Krupp mountain gun.Both kinds of artillery are black explosives, the power is about the same, the main thing is that there are not enough manpower, otherwise they will be used, the training of artillery is much higher than that of the infantry, and those who can't shoot artillery are also in vain to issue cannons.On both sides of the Drunken Bay defensive line, the 1st Regiment of the Chinese Army and a division of the British Army respectively built trenches, and the two sides attacked repeatedly.They all want to squeeze each other out."
The first few attacks" President Meng called directly to ask Xuan Jianzhang.Xuan Jianzhang: "The fourth time the British army was too fierce, and the reaction was very fast, digging two temporary trenches, and artillery support. ”President Meng hung up the phone, looking at the telescope for a while, and pondering on the map at the other, there was nothing he could do.Most of the time the war is still a fight for strength, and opportunistic tactics are juggling tactics, of course, sometimes miraculous results can be seen, but in terms of specific tactics, in fact, there are not many tricks, and strategy is the place to experience the wisdom of the commander.The Drunken Bay defense line must be taken, otherwise it will be counter-surrounded.President Meng couldn't wait and went up with the president's guard.Princess Katrina Kafu knew that she couldn't stop it, so she followed the president closely, Gege was free to move, and President Moe didn't interfere with where she went, there was only one way, and she was not allowed to leave.Geger followed."
Your president is still going up by himself" Jie Gege asked Qiu Yun softly, unable to believe it.Qiu Yun understood what Jie Gege meant, "The president has already commanded it personally, but of course the president doesn't have to fight it himself." ”Jie Gege sighed, looking at President Meng who was carried on Wang Zhankui's back, and felt incredible.Princess Katrina Kafu took out her gun and vigilantly followed President Moe with a solemn expression.Now Princess Katrina Kaaf no longer dares to despise the British army.On the position of the first regiment, Xuan Jianzhang was covered in blood, Lu Kangtian was also there, more than half of the teaching brigade of the Hongpu Military Academy died, and the first regiment died with one battalion left, losing two-thirds of the soldiers.The war was very brutal.When the soldiers saw President Meng coming, they all stood up, and President Meng waved his hand to signal everyone to relax, this is not a military parade.President Meng didn't want to say anything encouraging, because there was no need, the Chinese army was fought, and there was no need to mobilize at all.Everyone knows why the war is fought, for President Meng, for the Huacui Party, for the country, for Huaguo, and the pension system of the Chinese army is very perfect, the soldiers have motivation and security, and what else do they have to mobilize, so President Meng never talks nonsense.When President Meng saw Xuan Jianzhang, his eyes immediately turned red, "Take it to a temporary hospital for treatment" "President, no, I'm fine, I can still fight." ”Xuan Jianzhang said hoarsely.President Meng waved his hand, and the two guards immediately took Xuan Jianzhang away.Lu Kangtian said in a hoarse voice: "President, the main force of the British army has all come over, and the position has changed hands repeatedly, you don't want to be here, it's too dangerous, the British army is about to bomb." ”President Meng said angrily: "How many people are there in the position opposite them" Lu Kangtian replied: "Less than four thousand" President Meng nodded and said: "You, together with my president guard, rush to me together, ten minutes, take the opposite position."
I'm just here watching, not going anywhere. ”At this time, it's the last breath, President Meng fights, although he doesn't go up to fight himself, but if he can't stand the frontal battlefield, it's also a dead end."
Yes" Lu Kangtian had tears in his eyes, knowing that the president was in a hurry.The 1st Regiment, together with more than 2,000 members of the President's Guard, launched another assault amid the loud trumpets of the charge.The British were so frightened that they released a row of guns and retreated, but they really couldn't understand what kind of army was on the other side, and they fought for a whole day and a night, and it seemed that the more they fought, the more they fought, the more vigorous their fighting spirit became.The British forces on the Drunken Bay line were completely routed.The British were forced to retreat to the Golden Hills.In less than two hours, the Chinese army was lost, the defense line of Drunken Bay was broken, and the Chinese army occupied Tsing Yi and attacked Lai Chi Kok, fully entering the main island of Hong Kong.The commander of the British army, Walker Wolf, slapped the table, "How did you fight the face of the British Empire, let you lose all your face, it's only one day, the harbor is lost, the Drunken Bay defense line loses two-thirds of the army's casualties, if it fails, we will all die" A group of captain-level officers didn't dare to make a sound, who would have thought that these people were regular officers, at least they had fought in battles, not for decoration, it was really the Chinese army's will to fight was too high, ten times higher than the British army."
General, we can only abandon the Kowloon Peninsula now, otherwise, our army is in danger of being completely surrounded, and the other two regiments of the Chinese army have already completed the outflanking of the flank.The Kowloon Chinese Superintendent announced that the police had abandoned Kowloon and that they were already surrendering to the Chinese army," reported to the Chief of Staff.British commander Walker Wolf sighed, "These Chinese are unreliable, this Chinese army is too bold and too cunning, and actually launched an attack on our Hong Kong in the process of peace talks, and I also received domestic intelligence the day before yesterday that the Chinese army planned to return the warships and prisoners and apologize to the British Empire for being fooled by them."
Pass my order to withdraw from the Kowloon Peninsula. ”The British were forced to abandon the Kowloon Peninsula.By the evening of 12 January, with the exception of Devil's Hill on the north shore of Lei Yue Mun, Kowloon and the New Territories had completely fallen into the hands of the Chinese army.On January 13, more than 3,000 British troops were evacuated to Hong Kong Island, and all the periphery of Hong Kong Island fell into the hands of the Chinese army.The north shore of Hong Kong Island is home to a number of British batteries, as well as communications and power generation facilities.Hong Kong Island was defended by troops withdrawn from Kowloon, as well as miscellaneous mixed forces.The British Commander, Major General Walker Wolfe, divided Hong Kong Island into two brigades, the East Brigade, which mainly defended the coastline east of Causeway Bay and Deep Water Bay, including North Point to Chai Wan, Tai Tam to Stanley and Repulse Bay, and was headquartered on the high ground at the junction of Tai Tam Road and Shek O Road.The Western District guards the western coasts of the Western and Central Naval Dockyards, Pok Fu Lam and Aberdeen Shouson Hill, and is headquartered in the vicinity of Wong Nai Chung Gap.Forts such as Victoria City were defended by the two remaining main companies of the British army, and both the fortress headquarters and the joint headquarters were located in the naval fortress.On January 14, after a little rest, the Chinese army began a full-scale offensive, and there was no water supply on Hong Kong Island, food began to be scarce, and the siege began.Late at night on 15 January, the Chinese army attempted to force a landing on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, but was repulsed by the defenders.On January 16, the Chinese army used artillery to bombard the north shore of Hong Kong Island, and the Hongpu Military Academy Teaching Brigade united with the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Regiment to storm the coast near the North Point Power Plant.t1706231537:
