What was shot down was an unarmed 'Vesquez HC2' helicopter. In order to attack the tanks on the ground, a machine gunner was temporarily hung on the hatch to operate a 'Milan' anti-tank missile.
But the tank didn't see it, and a cheap "SAM-7B" shot down the helicopter hovering in the air. At the moment of the explosion in the air, almost the whole Hong Kong could see the gorgeous fireworks.
Across the harbor, the rich and powerful who live in mansions on the mountainside are even more clear. The reality is very clear that those who robbed the treasury were definitely not gangsters, but armed men with professional training skills.
Judging from the scale of the current chaos, the British judged that there were at least hundreds of unknown opponents. Their spies were spread throughout the Kowloon Bay area. The policemen at the gymnasium had just formed a command point when they were immediately beaten by tanks.
'Weskes HC2' caught fire after being hit. The rotors drove the body to spin in the air. In more than ten seconds, it plummeted from a height of several hundred meters, hit the outer wall of an office building, and then fell with a loud crash.
ground.
The people in the building have been evacuated, but there are still a small number of personnel on duty who saw the crash. Some people made strange screams at night and took pictures with cameras of the tattered and twisted body burning in the fire.
There were several helicopters in the sky. After realizing that they were not safe, they immediately turned around and fled. The entire Kowloon Bay area became slightly calmer.
Zhou Qingfeng returned to the vault on the ground and took out several large barrels of high-grade diesel from the alchemy workshop.
The T-80U has an external 400-liter fuel tank, but it is too dangerous to carry it in street battles. The gas turbine it uses is good, but it consumes too much fuel. After a few hours, nearly half of the built-in fuel tank has been consumed.
After refilling the fuel tank, Zhou Qingfeng asked Arcee to go out and run wild. The roads in Hong Kong are densely packed and there are too many accessible paths. You can definitely go for a ride outside, especially through the undersea tunnel to go to Central on Hong Kong Island.
Central is the real core area of HK.
"Go ahead, leaving our track marks outside the Governor's Palace is enough to chill the hearts of the colonists and compradors here. Let them understand that they cannot do whatever they want, and there are still people who can check and balance their ambitions and greed."
Zhou Qingfeng stayed in the treasury, waiting for Lingnu to complete the 'moving' work. He did not take his current situation seriously, and just wanted to make a bigger noise - although he only robbed the treasury, it must make everyone feel frightened.
.
Four goblins and half of the ghosts accompanied Arcee, the T-80U's gas turbine rumbled, the tank increased its speed to fifty kilometers per hour, and ran southwest along Cheng Kai Road towards Tsim Sha Tsui.
It happened that a company of the 48th Gurkha Infantry Brigade got off the truck near Ma Tau Wai and was ordered to prepare to approach Kowloon Bay as a skirmisher.
In order to deal with tanks, this company's equipment carries 'Milan' anti-tank missiles - this is the only equipment in the hands of the British guys in HK that can pose a threat to the T-80U.
Just when more than a hundred people from this company got off the truck, they heard a rumbling sound from far ahead on the road. Everyone felt nervous.
The nearby roads have long been blocked, and there seems to be only one kind of motor vehicle that can run out so boldly at this time.
The Gurkha infantry has not yet completed its assembly and is still in a scattered state. The British company commander leading the group shouted several times, asking his men to enter combat status immediately.
Fighting? Just kidding.
The Gurkha Infantry Brigade is a standard colonial force, and most of the soldiers only have L85 rifles. They have a few armored reconnaissance vehicles, but they are incomparable to tanks.
"Anti-tank platoon, anti-tank platoon, come to the front." The British company commander shouted, and he asked the infantry platoon carrying the "Milan" to come up immediately.
But the infantry moved too slowly, and the roads in the city were too complicated. Before the light anti-tank missiles could be deployed on the complicated streets, the T80U was already approaching at high speed.
The Gurkha infantrymen who had just dismounted were screaming in confusion. They had no cover to cover them, so they could only lean to both sides of the street, allowing their loose front line to be cut into.
A military truck stopped at the intersection and was hit by a tank.
The violent impact frightened the Bai Lai infantry. However, after the tank rushed in, it did not stop and did not make any aggressive behavior. Instead, it drifted around a street corner, its tracks rolled with a roar, leaving a trail of exhaust gas and then ran away.
The British company commander's heartbeat was pounding and he was stunned.
Still in shock, the Gurkha deputy company commander stepped forward and shouted joyfully: "Sir, I have good news for you. No one of us died, we were just hit by a car."
Good news!
The British company commander took a breath and cursed angrily: "Idiot, that tank has gone to Tsim Sha Tsui. What if it goes to Hong Kong Island along the undersea tunnel?"
Hong Kong Island is the essence of Hong Kong, with prosperous business activities and the richest and most powerful officials. If there is any movement there, the impact will definitely be greater than that in Kowloon Bay.
"Get in the car quickly and catch up. You must catch up."
The entire company got off the bus and then got on again in the blink of an eye.
But after such repeated tossing, the T-80U had already disappeared. However, the news of the tank running out was spread on the radio station, warning the personnel in the direction of Hong Kong Island, especially the undersea tunnel, to intercept it.
But it would be better not to tell the news, but it would be worse if it was told.
The entrance to the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel originally had a group of Sirs who were doing their duty faithfully.
Everyone just saw the fireworks of a downed helicopter across Kowloon Bay - I always feel sorry for our colleagues who encounter tanks in Kowloon Bay, but our direction to Tsim Sha Tsui is still safe.
But wait until the radio says the tanks are coming.
The sirs ran away immediately without any discussion - the robbers' ferociousness has been proven repeatedly and they will not be polite to anyone. The superior inspector will destroy them at his will. Will he care about the little miscellaneous fish below?
So, when Arcee drove the T-80U to the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel like a racing car, this main road connecting the peninsula and Hong Kong Island turned out to be very smooth. No one was strictly guarding it, and no one was blocking the road.
The tank didn't even need to slow down, it rushed directly into the tunnel and rushed out from the other end.
Waiting for the British guys from behind to arrive with the Gurkha infantry, they found that all the Asirs who were originally guarding here hid in the green belts on both sides of the tunnel and poked their heads out.
"You didn't receive the order to intercept?"
"Sir, what are we going to do to stop you? Use your head? Please demonstrate first."
"You took an oath to be loyal to the Queen of England with your life. Now you are going to fulfill your oath like this?"
"Sir, we all make money to support our families. Why do we have to fight even though we know we can't fight? The worst case scenario is that brothers should resign now. It's better than letting family members pick up the corpses tomorrow."
This is the attitude of the colonial police officers. No matter how angry the British officers are, the officers have been passive and sabotaged their work. What's worse is that the tank really went to Hong Kong Island.
The rich and powerful were originally cheering for Sir and the soldiers on the front line across Victoria Bay. But when they found out that they were going to be unlucky, they were all furious and confused and didn't know what to do.
The fast-running governor had already transferred to the warship. The rich man also quickly summoned a helicopter and flew away quickly to take refuge. There was no one on the bustling streets. Only the tanks left the teeth marks of their tracks. No one could stop its sharpness.
.
When the T-80U ran to Central, the HSBC Bank Headquarters building was immediately hit by a gunshot. The gunfire roared, and countless building windows were shattered and fell like ice crystals.
There is also a St. John's Church nearby, which is known as the oldest Western-style church in Hong Kong. The cross is not pleasing to the eye, so giving it a shot is considered a blessing from God!
By the way, the Hong Kong Governor's Office is not far away. As a symbol of the colony, it must be made more aware of "weapons of criticism cannot replace weapons of criticism."
