Chapter 342 Solomon's Edition Crossing the Chishui
"Bang bang bang..."
The shells roared and fell down, exploding with a bang. The entire Apula Port suddenly became fire and thick smoke rolled.
The British troops defending Port Apula were stunned by the bombing, ran away with their heads in their arms and fled everywhere.
"What's going on?" A British officer ran out with his pants. He was very annoyed because he had just captured an indigenous woman from Aginia. He had been holding it in for three months and was about to enjoy it. But his cannon didn't sound, but it was the first outside.
"Report to the Chief, is it the Chinese Empire fleet!" A communication soldier hurriedly came over to report.
"What? The Chinese Empire fleet? How is it possible? Aren't they muddy?" The officer asked hello with his head, grabbed the telescope and looked towards the port. It didn't matter when he saw it, and he was startled. The original fire was instantly extinguished, replaced by fear.
I saw hundreds of warships gathered on the sea, countless ships and guns roaring, and shells flying over the sky like raindrops. Wherever I passed, I crushed a piece and destroyed everything.
"Fake! Queave the coastline quickly and move closer inland!"
"Notify General Dell that the main force of the Chinese Empire fleet has arrived in Guam!"
The officer had just given an order, and a shell exploded not far from him, like an magnitude eight earthquake. The officer and the soldiers around him were instantly shocked to the ground. The explosion shock wave rolled up sand and swept through them, burying them in the blink of an eye.
Puff puff puff!
A few minutes later, the officer finally crawled out of the thick soil and kept spitting sand in his mouth.
Bang bang bang bang!
The shells continued to explode around, and shock waves were swept by waves one after another. The officer was repeatedly beaten by the air waves. After his face and the ground were intimately in contact with each other several times, he was suddenly covered in blood.
"Farke! Where is the North?"
The officer didn't care about the pain at all, but his head was shaking and he could no longer tell the difference between the east, south, west and north.
Just like the officer's experience, other British troops were either killed by shells, burned in artillery fire, screaming with ghosts and wolves. They were then blown away by the explosion shock wave and fleeing in a mess.
There were not many defenders in Port Apula, less than 2,000. More than half of them were killed or injured in less than ten minutes, and the rest either hid or fled far away.
Matt took away the main force of the British Navy, and only a dozen cruise ships and frigates remained in Guam. At this time, the British ships were no longer in the port. Instead, they cooperated with General Dell to command the British troops to attack the Guam fortress side, so they did not immediately discover that the Chinese Empire fleet arrived.
In the Guam Fortress command post, Xie Guangzhi, Yang Ting and others were discussing countermeasures. The British Navy's main fleet could not hide the departure of them, because the scale and intensity of the British attacks have slowed down in recent days, and there is no strong naval gun support. It is not difficult to guess that the main force of the British fleet has left.
However, Xie Guangzhi and others did not relax their vigilance and kept defending the Guam Fortress and fought tenaciously with the British army.
The Guam Fortress Battle has been fighting for three months, and even the strongest army will feel tired. Xie Guangzhi's seventh land war brigade was left with less than 3,000 people. This also includes the original Guam Fortress Guard and the Apula Port Guard, a total of 12,000 Guam troops, with more than 9,000 casualties, which shows that the war is so fierce.
Of course, the British army did not get much advantage. In three months, the British army invested more than 200,000 troops and took turns to attack the Guam Fortress, killing and injured more than 70,000 people. This was still the case with the support of British naval artillery fire. Otherwise, the British army would suffer even more casualties.
Until now, the Guam Fortress has been damaged by more than half of the fortifications, and almost all the surrounding small highlands were lost and occupied by the British army. There is no more food and water sources in the fortress. Weapons and ammunition consume the most, and at most it can last for one day.
Just when Xie Guangzhi was worried and was about to mobilize all officers and soldiers to die in Guam, the Chinese Empire fleet arrived.
Seeing the arrival of the main fleet of the Chinese Empire Navy, Xie Guangzhi cried almost happily.
Damn it was obvious that reinforcements would arrive only for one week, but the reinforcements would arrive three months later. But they were cheated and suffered.
"Tell my brothers that reinforcements have arrived, and they are all cheering up and ready to counterattack!"
Needless to say, all the Chinese Emperor's soldiers in the fortress bunker had already become excited, some checked their guns and some counted bullets.
"Hey, Xiao Chunzi, where did you get so many bullets? Didn't you say that there were only four left yesterday?"
"I said to Xiaoyangzi, you are so stupid. Bullets are life. How can you not hide some private goods?"
"That's right, look at Xiao Liuzi, there is a radium hidden in his crotch. He took it out at the critical moment and threw it into the enemy group. He was instantly frightened. Not to mention ten British devils, even one hundred British devils were killed, haha!"
Ha ha!
Everyone burst into laughter, and the originally dead atmosphere suddenly became alive, because everyone saw hope of living.
"Report, our friendly troops have landed in Port Apula!"
"Which unit is it?" Xie Guangzhi asked hurriedly.
"The Third Land Battle Brigade!"
"It's Han Laoliu's army!" Yang Ting said immediately.
"Damn, why is Han Laoliu's Third Land War Brigade? I don't need him to save me!" Xie Guangzhi suddenly turned dark and said furiously, but when he saw everyone's expressions, he immediately smiled: "That's impossible!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
However, Xie Guangzhi still muttered in a low voice: "Damn, this bastard Han Laoliu must have come to see me for a joke on his own!"
"What are you afraid of? We have made first-class merits!" Yang Ting smiled bitterly. He knew that the grudge between Xie Guangzhi and Han Laoliu was not a deep hatred. These two guys grew up together and joined the Shanghai army together to conquer the world with Li Weiguo, but they have always been secretly competing and no one has ever been convinced. If Xie Guangzhi made third-class merit today, Han Laoliu would definitely make great achievements tomorrow and must surpass Xie Guangzhi. The two are both the Marine Corps' battle sequence, and the competition is very fierce.
"That's right, I have already made a first-class merit, and I'm afraid that Han Laoliu will not succeed!" Xie Guangzhi's donkey face suddenly turned into a clear sun.
Two hours later, with the support of naval artillery fire, the Third Land Fighting Brigade repelled the British counterattacks, seized the beachhead position in the Port of Apula and consolidated it. Soon a large number of heavy weapons came ashore. The Third Land Fighting Brigade was full of confidence, and the cannons and heavy machine guns opened the way. The British army ran away in a hurry. By the evening, they had already recaptured the Apula Naval Base.
General Dell, the commander of the 30,000 British army in Guam, saw that the Apula Naval Base changed hands, and he had no choice. After all, without the support of the British Navy, the British troops were sandwiched between the Guam Fortress and the Imperial Chinese Navy, and were attacked from both sides. It was already very good to be able to withstand five or six hours of attack.
However, Dell is also a famous British Army general. He learned the lessons of attacking Guam and buried radium everywhere in Guam, which led to the slow progress of the attack by the Chinese Emperor**, which won time for Dell to redeploy troops and build defensive positions.
This is also impossible. Earth radium is used in this way. From the day Earth radium was born, not only the Chinese Emperor's team could use Earth radium, but now the British Army will also use it.
Before dawn the next day, Dell's troops retreated to the east of Guam fortress and still controlled most of Guam. However, without the support of the British Navy's naval artillery fire, facing the powerful naval artillery fire of the Imperial Navy, Dell's troops could only give up the coastline, shrink to the front line of Aginia and Barigada, build defensive positions, and lay a large amount of ground radium to prepare for a protracted war with the Imperial Chinese Navy.
Soon, Xie Guangzhi and Han Laoliu met, and naturally they were inevitably ridiculed each other.
Fortunately, Chen Shaoyi was present, so the two of them were not too presumptuous.
"General Xie made an indelible contribution. It is a miracle to hold on to Guam for three months and kill more than 60,000 enemies!"
"General Chen is polite. He is asking His Majesty to be very blessed. The soldiers use their lives, and they dare not take credit for their humble positions!"
Hearing Xie Guangzhi becoming modest, Han Laoliu rolled his eyes fiercely.
Chen Shaoyi nodded in praise and quickly said: "This time I only sent you a land brigade's troops, but the supply is sufficient, enough to arm the troops in a town for half a year. I hope you will continue to work hard and continue to defend the Guam Fortress!"
"Haha, it's great!" Xie Guangzhi nodded happily, but soon felt something was wrong and asked back: "This, General Chen means to continue to stick to Guam? Haven't the battle been finished yet?"
Chen Shaoyi smiled and said, "Of course we haven't finished the battle! Why do you think we will come to reinforce you after the war is over?"
"I dare not!" Xie Guangzhi hurriedly explained: "I think the British navy has been eliminated and the war should be over. Wasn't it the case before? As long as the British navy is defeated, they will not dare to fight again."
Chen Shaoyi nodded and said, "No, but now the main fleet of the British Navy is still there, and we have not started the battle yet, so the outcome is still unknown. I happened to have the opportunity to send you supplies this time."
Xie Guangzhi understood that his feelings had to continue to stick to them.
"What? You don't have confidence?" Chen Shaoyi asked.
"Report to General, I have never lost confidence. I stick to Guam, and I am in Guam!" Xie Guangzhi replied.
Chen Shaoyi nodded and said, "Very good! If you have any difficulties, just ask them. I guess I will stay here for two to three days!"
Only two to three days!
"Report, there is no difficulty! The 7th Brigade of Land War is an iron-clad army, and there is no need for difficulties!" Xie Guangzhi said this, but he felt a little bitter in his heart. The time was too short, but as a glorious Emperor of China, he dared not complain.
"Not bad! When I go back, I will personally ask you for credit!" Chen Shaoyi nodded with satisfaction. This is what the soldiers should do.
After a pause, he continued, "In this way, the Navy's food is good. I will give you two hundred boxes of canned beef and one hundred boxes of beer. I know you have worked very hard and are a reward for you!"
Xie Guangzhi was immediately happy when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Thank you, General!"
Chen Shaoyi then assigned the task, asking Xie Guangzhi and Han Laoliu to stay in Guam together.
Xie Guangzhi and Han Laoliu were immediately dissatisfied and asked almost at the same time: "General, who has the final say in this two of us?"
Chen Shaoyi was happy, looked at Xie Guangzhi and Han Laoliu, and finally decided to say, "Xie Guangzhi is the main focus, Han Fusheng assists!"
Xie Guangzhi immediately smiled proudly, while Han Laoliu was furious.
The Third Land War Brigade was temporarily assigned to the command of Xie Guangzhi, the commander of the 7th Land War Brigade. In this way, the troops in the Guam fortress were restored to a small amount of 10,000, especially the Third Land War Brigade of Han Laoliu was a new force, and there was greater hope of defending Guam.
Then he started to transport supplies. Chen Shaoyi was generous and asked Xie Guangzhi to move as much as he could. In just two days, he added 36 artillery pieces, 100 heavy machine guns, 200 sets of fire-breathing cylinders, 3,000 rifles, 30,000 grenades, 100,000 rifle bullets, 500,000 heavy machine gun bullets, 500 boxes of various types of shells, 200 hundred boxes of medicines, and a large amount of food, fresh water, cans, beer, etc., enough for ten thousand defenders of Guam Fortress to last for another month.
In two days, the 7th Land War Brigade in Guam Fortress had no combat missions. They worked too hard, so they were resting. The combat mission was handed over to Han Laoliu's Third Land War Brigade. With the support of artillery of the Chinese Navy Fleet, it launched a large-scale counterattack against the British army in Aginia, killing more than 3,000 enemies.
On the afternoon of the third day, Chen Shaoyi received a report that Matt led the main force of the British Navy to come back.
So Chen Shaoyi ordered the Chinese Empire Navy to evacuate Guam, and Han Laoliu quickly withdrew his troops and returned to Guam fortress and stood firm with Xie Guangzhi.
"Matt is still so cautious. He has not yet divided his troops. We have no chance to start!"
According to Chen Shaoyi's plan, even if Matt returns to Guam, he will leave a part of the fleet to protect the Sydney coastal areas. However, he did not expect Matt to be very cautious and did not divide his troops and directly bring the main fleet back to Guam.
"After seeing this Matt, I think we will fight him in Guam!"
Chen Shaoyi sneered. After analyzing Matt's tactical deployment, he found that he had no chance to take action, so he continued to drag on it. Anyway, Guam Fortress has been replenished with reinforcements and can last for a month, so Chen Shaoyi is not in a hurry and plans to fight with Matt.
Chen Shaoyi then led the main fleet of the Imperial Navy of the Empire again avoided the main force of the British Navy, detoured the Solomon Islands, and ran towards Sydney.
When Matt led the fleet to Guam, he found that Dell's 30,000 British troops had only lost three or four thousand people. He was relieved, but fortunately he was not wiped out.
After learning that Guam Fortress had received replenishment of troops and weapons and ammunition, Matt was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was about to trap the defenders and seize Guam, but he made a mistake in the game and it would be strange if he didn't get angry.
Just as the Matter sent warships to search for the movements of the main force of the Imperial Navy in the waters around Guam, a few days later, the main force of the Imperial Navy appeared again outside Sydney.
The British who were restoring their homes were immediately scared when they saw that the Imperial Chinese Navy was back.
"The devil is here again, run away!"
Two hours later, Sydney fell again.
Three days later, the news came back to Matt's ears in Guam again.
"Ahhh..." Matt vomited three liters of blood again. (To be continued.)
