Chapter 549

The huge city of London has a population of more than 3 million, but there are less than 50,000 British troops, including the British royal army, as well as the military police and police in the London district.

It can be seen that the British Empire's army was indeed transferred to the French battlefield. The top leaders of the entire British Empire did not expect that the Chinese Empire would suddenly send troops to the British mainland when the European war was unclear.

Now the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire is at the city, and the vanguard troops alone have three towns, with a total force of 75,000. There are still 150,000 troops in the Suez Canal area. Soon, with whom the subsequent fleet will arrive at the battlefield of Britain one after another.

The situation before the British Empire is not optimistic. No British official, including Prime Minister Ross, believes that it can prevent the Chinese Empire from occupying London. Some pessimists even directly call for surrender to the Chinese Empire to ensure that the major cities in the British Empire are not ravaged.

If this idea is placed in the Chinese Empire, it will definitely be called a traitor, but if it is placed in the British Empire with different ways of thinking, it will have a very large market.

When it comes to survival, the British and even the entire Western world cherish their lives. No one thinks there is anything wrong with the word surrender, and surrenders if they can't beat it. This is almost the value of the entire Westerner.

Therefore, before the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army entered central London, a considerable number of senior British Empire officials called for surrender.

Ross was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Faced with the weak elements, he wanted to kick them away, but unfortunately his strength has been greatly reduced. In order to help France fight against Germany, Ross had to send his direct troops to the battlefield in France. That direct troops were a bargaining chip for Ross to imitate Grant's dictatorship on the British Empire. Now that the direct troops are not in the country, Ross has to persuade the opponents with great sincerity.

"Gentlemen, the enemy has reached the doorstep. Can you be braver? The battle has not started yet. Why are you sure that we can't defend London? Even if you want to surrender, please at least fight a war to let the Chinese Empire know that we are not easy to bully. In this way, even if you surrender, you will not be looked down upon by others, and it is also beneficial to the negotiations!"

Ross looked begging, and he was so humble that he wanted to vomit when he looked at him.

However, his goal was achieved. The members of the parliamentarians who planned to surrender all whispered, thinking that Ross's words were somewhat reasonable. If he surrendered without a fight, the treatment would definitely not be good. If a war was fought and the prestige of the British made the Chinese Empire not dare to underestimate it, then the negotiations might be more beneficial.

This group of surrendered factions wanted to surrender so easily that they were fooled by Ross.

Without internal resistance, the British army organized the London defense battle much smoother.

However, although Ross is the main battle, he is not a fool. With the current 50,000 miscellaneous troops in London, he has no possibility of victory against the elite Shen Ce Army of the Chinese Empire in the three towns.

Everything Ross did was just delaying time. He needed at least three days to arrange the capital relocation and evacuation, but even if three days were too short, Ross could only hope that the Chinese Emperor* team would not play too hard and give him more time.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Ross didn't know that the vanguard of the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army opposite him was Yuan Shikai. For Yuan Shikai, he had to conquer London as fast as possible. He even wanted to capture Ross alive, so he would never give Ross enough time to retreat.

At this moment, two towns of Chinese Imperial teams have landed from the north and south sides of the Thames River and headed towards London.

Li Weijun commanded the main force of the Pacific Fleet to go upstream along the Thames River, and along the way, the ship cannons roared, destroying one British position after another along the coast.

Grace on the north bank of the Thames is an important town along the Thames, with a British brigade's troops defending the troops.

This British army received an order from its superiors to defend its position to prevent the Chinese Emperor* team from advancing.

On the battleship of the Furious, Li Weijun looked out from his telescope and looked at both sides of the Thames River, smiling.

He was very comfortable. If he followed the current marching speed, he would enter London in a few hours.

"Yuan Kai, you're entering central London soon. What are you going to do?"

Yuan Kai thought for a while and replied: "Bizhi plans to act overnight and strive to take down Downing Street and Buckingham Palace before dawn!"

Li Weijun was surprised and said: "Night battles are not good for the attacking side. Our army is not familiar with the terrain of London. The British army should have mobilized heavy troops to defend themselves. If you are rashly attacking, you may suffer a lot of losses. It is better to wait until dawn, and my fleet and air force can provide you with cover."

Yuan Shikai said: "General, it is said that soldiers are very fast! We raided London, when the British army transferred all their main forces to France and the domestic forces were empty. You should know that London has a population of millions. If you give the British army one more night, they may have armed more troops. Although for our Shence Army, no matter how many troops the British army produces, isn't that a waste of our bullets?"

When Li Weijun heard the wasted bullets, he was also drunk and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll hand over the vanguard to you. You can decide everything at your own discretion. The sooner you take London, the better it will be for us!"

Yuan Shikai said: "Yes! Please rest assured, General, and strive to take London as soon as possible!"

Seeing Yuan Shikai's confident expression, Li Weijun was much more relaxed.

He then called the adjutant and asked, "Where are the Sixth Town and the Ninth Town?"

The adjutant replied: "Report to the commander, half an hour ago, the sixth town reported that they had arrived in Elis and the ninth town had arrived in Grace."

When Li Weijun looked at the map, he was very satisfied with the attack speed of the Sixth Town, but when he saw that the Ninth Town was more than 20 kilometers behind, he suddenly turned black.

"Why is the Ninth Town so much behind? Didn't they have enough food?"

The adjutant immediately explained: "Report to the commander, the Ninth Town encountered a tenacious resistance from the British army about a brigade in Grace."

Li Weijun frowned and cursed: "The whole world knows that the British Army is weak, and even an 80-year-old lady cannot beat it. The Ninth Town must break through Grace within half an hour and arrive at Reinham within two hours. Otherwise, I will give the Ninth Town a banner of women to encourage you!"

puff!

A group of people around him laughed in an instant, but when they saw Li Weijun looking very serious, they suddenly fell silent and secretly sweated for the ninth town.

Yuan Shikai suddenly said: "General, the Ninth Town is one of the few elite troops in the Marine Corps. They were blocked from the attack in Grace. Compared to Grace's British army, it is indeed difficult to deal with. It is better to transfer a fleet to reinforce."

Li Weijun glanced at Yuan Shikai with a sharp look, as if he had penetrated Yuan Shikai's inner world in an instant, and guessed that Yuan Shikai had a small plan.

Yuan Shikai was also in a cold sweat in an instant, secretly calling himself too greedy. Such obvious pleasing to the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Town must have caused Li Weijun's dissatisfaction.

You should know that Yuan Shikai belongs to the Army, while the Ninth Town belongs to the Marine Corps and belongs to the Navy. Although the Chinese Emperor's side now has a joint force of naval and army squeezed the air force, the Navy and Army itself are dissatisfied with each other and run. Yuan Shikai's behavior of pleasing the Ninth Town is equivalent to offending Li Weijun's rebellion.

In a common saying, your hand is too long, be careful of getting a kitchen knife!

"I just talk casually, everything is as arranged by the general!"

Yuan Shikai hurriedly remedy.

Li Weijun just smiled slightly and said, "Your proposal is very good! I'll send my order to transfer the first battleship fleet to the ninth town to reinforce the ninth town. This group of waste, one town can't defeat a British brigade, which is really embarrassing. It's still your army is strong, and you Yuan Kai, one of the second-tier thirty-three towns can capture the Port Said Fortress, known as the European portal, which really gives you the army a good face! In comparison, our navy is really weak!"

puff!

Yuan Shikai was confused, what does this mean!

Is this the so-called praise and killing?

No! If you are praised too high, you will be thrown too badly!

Yuan Shikai hurriedly said modestly: "The General has been too rewarded, and Bei Zhi was just lucky enough to capture Said Port! Your troops' feat of bloody battles in Guam that year has made Bei Zhi respected it now!"

Li Weijun and Yuan Shikai two old foxes, flatter each other, test each other, and talk to each other, so there is no need to explain in detail.

Just talking about Grace, the Ninth Marines Town did encounter a tough guy. Opposite them was the 15th Brigade of the British Army, known as the elite of the British army. It is affiliated with the British Royal Defense Corps, equivalent to the Royal Guarding Force of the Chinese Empire.

After research, Ross and Cook pulled Grace down by the 15th Brigade in order to set an example and call on the military and civilians of London to fight a fierce battle to defend London.

The 15th British Brigade was not transferred to the European battlefield because they have always been the guards of the British royal family and are most well-equipped, so they dared to fight against the Chinese Emperor* team.

Grace is just a small town, but the 15th British Brigade has built fortifications in the shortest time, deployed minefields and obstacles, and destroyed bridges and roads. This British army has done almost all the ways that can delay the advancement of the Chinese Imperial Team, which shows that its area is an elite force.

Zhou Shu, the commander of the Ninth Town, was so angry that he cursed. As a major general officer of the Imperial Marine Corps, he encountered such a difficult bone to crack for the first time.

The more anxious you are to break through the British defense line, the more you fall into a lasting tug-of-war quagmire.

"Report, the Fleet Base Camp's Telegram, your troops must open Grace within half an hour, rush to Renem within two hours, cut off the British retreat route, and no mistakes must be made. If it is not completed, the Commander-in-Chief will send us a banner of women to encourage us!"

When Zhou Shuren heard the words of encouraging the women's banner, he suddenly turned red with shame and said angrily: "Did he hear it all? I can't take Grace in half an hour. Our Ninth Town will have to hold a woman's banner when going out in the future!"

"Teacher, we are not girls!"

"Teacher Commander, I won't believe it if we rush again. When did the British devils become so strong!"

"Teacher Commander, our regiment takes the lead. Even if the British devils eat Brother Wei, I will smash them into pieces!"

Zhou Shuren nodded and said, "Okay, it seems that you don't want to be girls!"

At this time, Chief of Staff Hu Shi suddenly said: "Teacher Commander, our tactics may have been thoroughly understood by the British army on the opposite side. If the tactics are not changed, no matter how you attack, it will be a failure!"

Zhou Shuren immediately complained: "Made, the tried and tested tactics are useless. This makes me suddenly change the tactics, and I'm really a little uncomfortable!"

The Shence Army of the Chinese Empire has always been famous all over the world as its ever-winning army. Over the years, the common tactics of the Shence Army have almost no longer been secrets, and all parties around the world are conducting in-depth research.

As the most elite 15th Brigade of the British Empire, he naturally knew the tactics of the Shence Army, so the tactics of Zhou Shuren's cannon bombardment at the beginning failed.

Hu Shi said: "Since our tactic is that the cannons bombard and then the infantry charge, then we continue to bombard. However, the infantry no longer charges, but instead rushes halfway and falls down, and the cannons continue to bombard British positions."

Zhou Shuren's eyes lit up and said excitedly: "Good idea! Every time we shelled, the British army hid in the anti-aircraft artillery hole in advance. When our shelling stopped, they secretly entered the position to block my infantry attack. This time, I want to see if they still have time to run back to the anti-aircraft artillery hole?"

Soon, the Ninth Town reorganized a round of artillery attacks.

When the cannon sounded, the British troops on the opposite side disappeared and hid in the anti-cannon hole.

After seeing this, Colonel Michael, commander of the 15th Brigade of the British Army, couldn't help but sarcastically: "Hmph, the tactics that have not changed for ten thousand years, I really don't understand how you became the world's strongest army!"

Michael was dissatisfied with the Shen Ce Army of the Chinese Empire and always wanted to compete head-only, but now he has finally realized his dream.

In his opinion, the Chinese Emperor* team's unchanging tactics are not enough to be justified. If you have been holding on for three days, you will have no problem even if you have been holding on for three years.

"Enemy artillery fire began to extend!"

"The enemy is about to attack and quickly enter the position!"

But this time, Michael made a mistake in his judgment. Zhou Shuren, the commander of the ninth town, had underestimated Michael, and now Michael also underestimated Zhou Shuren.

When the British troops came out of the anti-aircraft artillery hole and entered their positions one after another, the artillery fire of the Chinese Emperor* came back.

Bang bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang bang!

The firepower of the artillery regiment directly under the Ninth Town fell on the British positions, and the British army suddenly exploded and flew everywhere, with heavy casualties.

"Fake! Retreat!"

Michael knew that he had been fooled, so he hurriedly ordered the British troops to withdraw from their positions and hide back into the anti-aircraft cannon.

But at this time, the Chinese imperial infantry began to charge.

Michael had no choice but to order the British troops to return to the position.

As a result, after rushing for a distance, the Chinese Emperors quickly fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese Emperor*'s shells fell on the British positions again, and the British soldiers who had just entered the position to prepare for battle were bombed again.
