Chapter 1012 Entering London

"Captain, the captain sent a telegram saying that people in London are preparing to escape, and ordered us to capture London quickly and not let those nobles escape."

At the Chinese Army Command Headquarters, Guo Sen received an order to speed up the attack.

"Let the first battalion launch a surprise attack from the left, the second battalion pass through the farmland on the right, and the third battalion attack from the front. Tell them that the army people are watching us from the sidelines, and don't let the army people see our jokes."

Guo Sen said.

The main force in this operation was their Marine Corps, and the Army also mobilized more than 800 people to assist.

Although the sea and land cooperate in operations under the instructions of their superiors, in peacetime, the two sides are still distinct.

If the Marines don't fight well, they will definitely be ridiculed by the Army.

In more serious cases, the Army will use this as an excuse to prove that the Marine Corps is not competent for ground tasks, thereby canceling or reducing the size of the Marine Corps and allocating funds to the Army.

Whether it is being ridiculed by the Army or having its military expenditures reduced, these are things that the Marine Corps cannot bear.

"Tell the commander and reassure him that our department is determined to complete the mission."

After receiving the order, the troops below also became ruthless.

As the charge horn sounded, the Chinese army launched a full-scale attack.

The British defense line, which had suffered continuous shelling by the Chinese army, was riddled with holes. Facing the Chinese attack, they could only rely on the consciousness of the soldiers to resist without a complete organization.

"There is a large group of enemies at three o'clock, machine gunners."

shouted a squad leader of the British army.

"The machine gun is damaged, sir."

The machine gunner said helplessly.

"Why don't you fix it quickly?"

While the squad leader was angry at the machine gunner, he went to his superiors to apply for machine gun support.

However, it was already too late, as the Chinese army's offensive was too fierce.

Da da da.......

The Chinese army's machine guns fired fiercely, which made the British soldiers not dare to show their heads. If they did, they would be shot in the head by bullets. They would go directly to see God, and the rescue process would not be necessary.

The British army did not dare to take the lead, and the Chinese soldiers charged very easily.

As they approached the British position, all kinds of strange weapons began to appear again.

For example, grenade launchers and rocket launchers, these two are currently Dahua's most advanced individual weapons, which can greatly improve the firepower of infantry.

The grenade launched by the grenade launcher has a large killing area and is much easier to use than a grenade, but it is much more expensive than a grenade.

However, the Marine Corps is backed by the Navy and is also known to be rich in money.

As long as the Navy builds one less warship, the money saved will be enough for the Marines to squander for a long time.

In the Marine Corps, a platoon is equipped with two grenade launchers.

Aim at the enemy's trench, send a grenade over, and immediately there will be no movement on the other side.

Then those infantry can advance quickly again.

In the past, soldiers armed with rifles were the main force in killing enemies. But now, the role of these infantry has become to eliminate the remaining enemies.

Facing large groups of enemies, firepower points, and difficult-to-conquer fortifications, the Chinese army first used mortars, howitzers, rocket launchers, plastic bombs, and machine guns.

The infantry usually hide behind bunkers, waiting for these weapons to show their power, and then rush forward to eliminate the remaining enemies.

Generally, enemies are basically in a state of confusion after being attacked by Dahua's advanced weapons.

At this time, the infantry rushed forward to harvest and clear the battlefield, which was very easy.

Compared with the Chinese army, the infantry of Great Britain were very miserable. The most advanced weapons in their hands were only Maxim machine guns, and the rest were rifles in their hands.

Not only are their weapons lagging behind, but what's even worse is their lack of understanding of Dahua's weapons.

If you don't even know the characteristics of the grenade launcher, you will certainly not be able to take appropriate measures.

In this way, the effects of those special weapons will be additionally amplified.

Just like the early days when the Chinese army used machines to fight cavalry, if the cavalry knew enough about Dahua's machines, they would definitely not charge head-on stupidly, and the machine guns would not be able to achieve such great results.

The British army thought they knew Dahua very well because their spies had been operating in Dahua.

However, most of the information those spies can obtain is still superficial.

Like the advanced weapons in the army, they didn't get much information.

"Come on, it's time for our performance."

After the Chinese army fired two grenades at a trench, the squad leader took the lead and rushed towards the trench.

Unopposed, they charged into the trenches.

No matter what, just scan the submachine gun in your hand first and then talk.

At this time, the British troops in the trenches were all dead.

A firepower point was breached, and the British troops in this nearby defense line quickly retreated.

After all, they alone cannot build a complete line of defense.

If they don't withdraw, they will be killed by the Chinese army from the flank.

This situation is happening on the entire defense line, but the degree is slightly different.

It doesn't matter much if the British troops retreat in one or two places.

However, the entire front is retreating, so this line of defense is actually declared lost.

Although, there are still nearly 3,000 British troops on this line of defense, the total number is even slightly more than the attacking Chinese troops.

But it's no use,

These soldiers are creatures with a survival instinct.

With no hope in sight, it was impossible for them to risk their lives to delay the Chinese offensive.

In the history of wars at home and abroad, it is very common for a small group of people to hunt down a large group of people.

Soon, the British retreat turned into a rout.

The Chinese army followed behind, chasing happily.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Tenold watched the battle line collapse and became a little emotional.

He had predicted that he would not be able to defend it, but he never thought that the defense line would collapse so quickly.

In his estimation, he could stay at least one day and one night.

In this way, people in the city can have enough time to escape from London.

With the limited strength of the Chinese army, they certainly would not dare to pursue them deeply.

However, at this moment, all his illusions were shattered. The Chinese army only had two hours before their line of defense collapsed.

His line of defense is somewhat ineffective.

"Commander, let's leave quickly. If we are late, it will be too late."

The subordinates urged.

The fastest fleeing soldiers were almost in front of them.

If they don't retreat, they may be caught by the Chinese army.

Tenold was already a little out of control. At this time, his subordinates didn't care so much and put him directly on the carriage, and then fled behind with the broken troops.

At this point, the last line of defense blocking the city of London fell, and the large Chinese army rushed into the city.

At the same time, the Chinese army also divided its troops to intercept those nobles trying to leave London on the main roads.
