Even if President Meng has a kind, he fought with the British at sea, and the training was not enough, and the more than 1,000 naval officers and soldiers trained by the shipside artillery ironclad ship are still on the sea without two years of freshmen, recruits, even the Danzhou 187201 shipside artillery ironclad ship of President Meng is still ineffective, how can it be possible to come up and operate more than ten warships that have just captured the British.There are two garrison divisions, the First Guangdong Garrison Division and the Second Guangdong Garrison Division, near Guangzhou, although they are not enough to compete with the British, because there are many people, and China will never be short of manpower.President Meng anticipated the offensive of the British army from the beginning, without the stumbling of the Qing army, the speed and rhythm of the British attack were first-class, and if it was a pure force contest, even if the first field division of the Chinese army was pulled to Guangdong, it was not the opponent of the British army.There are two garrison divisions of the Second Guangdong Garrison Division near Guangzhou, which are scattered into more than 160 companies with companies as units, and it seems that Guangdong is full of Chinese troops, and the Chinese army just does not compete with the British army head-on, relying on the common people to cover and cooperate with the common people to secretly counterattack, which is similar to the battlefield of resistance against Japan behind enemy lines several decades later.The First Division of the Guangdong Garrison, stationed in Guangzhou, vowed to live and die with Guangzhou.The last time it was a confrontation between the main forces of the Chinese army and the British army and the Qing army, this time it was replaced by guerrilla warfare of the Second Division of the Guangdong Garrison, and the grade was obviously worse I don't know how much, and the common people were also under considerable pressure.This is the pressure of family ruin.President Meng is also under a lot of pressure, and he has been in the arsenal in Hong Kong during this time, although he has no achievements, but in this way, he can blame himself less.The British army had been in Guangdong for more than three months, and in addition to being prestigious, it did not take much advantage; due to supply difficulties, it had to transport supplies from Hainan and from the sea to Guangdong, and it had to be constantly harassed by the Chinese army, and the British army suffered sporadic casualties, and in addition to the three days of the early attack on Hong Kong, more than 2,000 people had died in the past three months.More than 2,000 people died, and no real benefit was reaped, and the British army was actually in a dilemma.Britain wants to solve this situation as soon as possible, they must pull allies, Britain's appeal is stronger than China, I don't know where to go, pull more than a dozen allies, Italy, the newly unified European upstart, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Turkey, a bunch of irrelevant, purely for the British boss to make face for the small country.On the contrary, France, which was often in cahoots with the British, never made a move, and the French did not agree to join the Nanyang Treaty member organization established by Xuan Yuemeng, the president of the Chinese state, nor did they agree to join the British coalition to fight against Guangdong.The British army was close to madness, and the war in Guangdong, it should be said that it was a one-sided war, had entered the stage of madness.Guangzhou was attacked, and the British army did not intend to attack Guangzhou, after all, the city was well defended, and there was a whole garrison division of the First Guangdong Garrison Division defending it.The Second Guangdong Garrison Division was scattered on the periphery for guerrilla confrontation.In fact, many people have opinions about President Meng's transfer of all the warships, not that they can't understand it, President Meng's idea of wanting to preserve his strength, everyone can understand, but when the British army's powerful naval guns unscrupulously suppressed the Chinese army, everyone was angry.The Guangdong Provincial Government building outside the Hong Kong Governor's Palace was extremely busy, and the officers were all dressed in crisp military uniforms and big leather boots, coming in and out.Listening to the sound of gunfire from the other side every day, the officers asked to go to the front one after another.The communication between the Guangdong station of the Bureau of Statistics and Hong Kong was not severed, and the British army, as when the Chinese army attacked Hong Kong, did not close all the navigation of foreign ships, and Hong Kong could be navigated with the wharves of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.It's just that the transmission of information is going to make a big detour."
President, the first division of the Guangdong garrison is almost exhausted, Guangzhou will not be able to hold it, the British army is crazy to take Guangzhou, when the time comes, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou" Qiu Yun sent a message.President Meng took the telegram, read it roughly, looked at Princess Katrina Kafu beside her, Jiegege, sighed and said: "Do you know why I left all the factory equipment in Hong Kong, do you know why I want to transport the captured warships to Danzhou, this is to protect industry, protect national defense, now the great powers do not have aircraft, if there are planes, they will definitely bomb Hong Kong day and night, industrial resources, this is the core of everyone's competition, as long as you hold Guangzhou for another two or three months, the British themselves will evacuate." ”Everyone didn't understand what President Moe meant.The commander of the British army, Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor, understood."
Xuan Yuemeng is going to spend it with us haha, the Chinese are stupid, he consumes energy, why don't we consume energy, we have a navy, we can supply, there is Hainan Island transit, there are supplies from India, it is not a problem to supply us more than 10,000 British troops at all" British commander Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor said with a smile to the officers below.Everyone laughed, although more than 2,000 people died, but the losses of the Chinese army were even more serious, almost one British army could be exchanged for the lives of twenty Chinese soldiers."
However, we can't take it lightly, this Xuan Yuemeng, as well as Huaguo, is developing very fast, and attacked our Hong Kong, I brought the Qing army over, I thought I could wipe out the Chinese army, but I didn't expect that he took the whole of Guangdong instead, this kid is indeed like a monster, everyone should be careful.When we attack Guangzhou, the momentum will be greater, but the casualties will be smaller, and the main attack will be artillery; this time, we will fight steadily and steadily, and we will fight with them for the number of weapons and shells, and the Chinese army will not be able to fight us. ”The commander of the British army, Lieutenant General Ewan MacGregor, said triumphantly.All the officers nodded one after another, Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor had made great achievements, everyone was very confident to follow him, Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor's strategy was exactly what everyone wanted, no one likes to fight hard, especially in a foreign land.These people fight purely for money, which is fundamentally different from the Chinese army.The method of the British commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor, is a typical encirclement point to send reinforcements, and the Chinese army can disturb them, and they are not afraid, because they have been gathered and not scattered, and the British army has not occupied the whole of Guangdong before taking Guangzhou, and at the same time, Lieutenant General Ewan McGregor is still waiting for the arrival of the Qing army.The Qing court had already sent a note to the British minister in Beijing and agreed to organize the army again, and this time it was necessary to do a good job in the logistics of the British coalition army, and did not go to the front, and with the support of the Qing court, the British army was even more vigorous.t1706231537:
