The British Hong Kong Governor did not immediately agree to the Japanese 23rd Army's offer to surrender.

Even after seeing the surrender letter from the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, the senior officers of the British army, including the Hong Kong Governor, were very angry, so they did not surrender immediately.

Even these senior British military officials wanted to send a reply to Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, the commander of the Japanese 23rd Army,

The content of the letter is: "Our empire is now well-armed, well-fed, and impregnable; it is impossible for our colonies to surrender...

But in the end, this emotionally charged letter was torn up by senior officials such as the Hong Kong Governor.

Because they did not want to provoke the Japanese army, they launched a large-scale and immediate siege operation.

They themselves know their own affairs, and now they simply don’t have much troops to maintain the defense of the remaining areas of Hong Kong Island.

As for sea power and air power, they have also been completely lost.

Therefore, they simply did not have the capital or even the qualifications to fight against the siege of the Japanese 23rd Army.

However, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, the commander of the Japanese 23rd Army, saw that the senior British military officials on Hong Kong Island did not react at all after he sent officials to persuade them to surrender.

So he also had a hard look and a violent heart,

He issued a bombing order to his aviation force.

And also let the naval fleet launch a threatening attack of naval artillery bombardment,

So two hours later, Japanese planes flew in large numbers over the city center of Hong Kong Island and carried out the most crazy and indiscriminate bombings without mercy.

One after another, aerial bombs continued to fall from the sky, bombarding various areas of Hong Kong Island.

After the Japanese air raids and bombings began,

The Japanese heavy artillery group was also given the order for artillery operations at the same time.

So soon, the Japanese heavy artillery shell groups continued to bombard various military targets on Hong Kong Island from the other side of Kowloon. This made the already panic-stricken city center there even more panic-stricken.

Screams, shrill sounds, and screams kept coming one after another.

There are also a large number of civilian casualties, which are also constantly happening.

These innocent citizens were all killed or injured in the inhumane bombings of the Japanese army.

However, the offensive of the Japanese 23rd Group Army, in addition to air raids and bombings by Japanese aircraft groups, heavy artillery bombardments, and naval bombardments; they also used radio propaganda cars to gather some traitors, captured foreigners, and soldiers captured by the British and Indians; to attack the ongoing

Everyone in the city center, which was being bombarded by Japanese planes, was trying to persuade them to surrender in the most inflammatory way.

In order to increase the intensity of deterrence against the British military leaders in the Hong Kong Island area,

For the first time, a large number of Japanese planes carried out crazy bombings on the Hong Kong Government House and the center of Victoria Street, which had never been attacked before.

This is the threat of Chiguoguo,

Amid the tremors of the earth and the sound of bombings that echoed through the sky;

The Hong Kong Government House and various main streets in the city center of Hong Kong Island, including the wealthy areas of foreigners, also suffered severe bombing attacks.

So these places soon turned into ruins with broken walls, corpses scattered everywhere, and bullet and cannon marks everywhere.

In short, under the large-scale bombing by Japanese aircraft, the city center of Hong Kong Island, which used to be bustling with people and traffic, is now completely shrouded in the war years and surrounded by the scourge of war.

Japan's heavy artillery, aircraft bombing, and fleet bombardment showed no signs of stopping, as if the Japanese attack this time was bound to blow up everyone in the city center of Hong Kong Island.

Until everything here is reduced to rubble.

Under the circumstances of continuous air raids and artillery bombing by the Japanese army;

The entire city center of Hong Kong Island, as well as the only remaining areas not occupied by the Japanese army, were all shrouded in the dark clouds of war, and people were panicked to the extreme.

At the same time, the Japanese 23rd Group Army has also issued a combat order, allowing the first batch of Japanese forward troops to attack North Point.

Of course, there were more than 60 Japanese bombers, batch after batch, who continued to take turns attacking the Hong Kong Government House and the streets and alleys in the center of Hong Kong Island;

As well as the British army's ammunition depots, military facilities, and even hospitals; as well as schools, restaurants, hotels, churches and other crowded places.

Including ordinary houses, they also carried out the most crazy bombings without distinction.

At the same time, the Japanese naval guns and artillery units bombed the Stanley Fort and the Magic Star Ridge Fort where the British troops were stationed;

There will also be round after round of horrific bombardments directed at the forts such as Sai Ying Pun, another British stronghold.

Faced with such ferocious artillery fire from the Japanese army, the few remaining artillery units of the British army were not to be outdone and tenaciously carried out the final counterattack.

However, after a brief counterattack, the few remaining artillery fires of the British army were still covered by the large-scale Japanese artillery fire, and were completely suppressed and completely suppressed.

But for the British army, the most deadly thing was the Japanese aircraft group. However, the Crucian Carp Bay where the British army was stationed and the oil storage depot on Hong Kong Island, as well as many military targets, were also bombarded by continuous artillery fire, thick smoke billowing, and flames shooting into the sky.

, became a ruin.

It was also because of this that most of the British army's oil and weapons and equipment were destroyed by the Japanese bombing.

In other words, the British army's oil supply and supplies of weapons, equipment and ammunition were cut off.

At the same time, at North Point, the billowing smoke from the artillery fire was shrouded in a miasma of smoke, and when the vision was blurred,

Under the cover of the gradually falling night and with relatively low visibility,

The commander of the Japanese 23rd Group Army, Nakataka Sakai, and his senior officers at all levels were also commanding their troops while looking at the battle map in the headquarters.

Started landing operations at North Point and other places.

The advance team of the Japanese 228th Regiment took a speedboat from the east of Kai Tak Airport to conduct a sneak attack on Crucian Carp Bay on Hong Kong Island.

The advance team of the 229th Regiment of the Japanese Army took a speedboat from Yau Tong to Shau Qi Wan on Hong Kong Island to conduct a sneak attack.

The advance team of the Japanese 230th Regiment took a speedboat from Tai Wan to the North Point of Hong Kong Island to conduct a sneak attack.

.......

.......

After nightfall really fell on the earth, the ships and speedboats of the advance team of the Japanese 230th Regiment were getting closer and closer to North Point.

This is about to be their first target for landing and attacking.

Soon, these Japanese landing troops landed very smoothly at the deserted stall.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

.......

........

Soon, dazzling red flares rose up in the night sky.

These signal flares were launched by the Japanese landing force. This was to tell the Japanese follow-up force that they clearly knew that their first wave of sneak landing attacks had been successfully completed.

.......

........

"Baga! Baga! Find cover quickly, hide while continuing to attack! Attack!"

"We must go deep into the hinterland and annihilate all the British troops defending here!"

"Assault! Assault!"

At the same time, Japanese army officers, big and small, from each team were constantly issuing operational orders at the top of their lungs to their own Japanese troops who had successfully landed.

Behind them, the large Japanese army immediately assigned the second and third waves of Japanese troops to various large and small motorboats; sailing boats, rubber boats, small boats, and sampans took their seats;

Then, under the orders that were louder and sterner than the last, they rushed towards the target they wanted to land and attack without fear of death, like a swarm of bees, riding on their ships and riding the wind and waves to rush towards them.

The British officers guarding the forefront of the coastal position and the soldiers of D Company led by them also discovered that these Japanese troops had successfully landed on the beach.

"Oh my God! It's not good! The Japanese troops have landed on the beach. Get into combat positions quickly and shoot!"

"Don't let these Japanese troops rush to us, machine gunners, hurry up! All infantrymen immediately enter their combat positions and must hold on here!"

"Also report to our Hong Kong Governor that the Japanese army is landing on the beach here in North Point! Urgent request for help!"

Then, all the British officers were also frightened and kept shouting and shouting.

.......

........

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

"Pah Gou! Pah Gou! Pah Gou!"
Chapter completed!
