In 1941, after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the U.S. Navy Port, the Japanese army continued to increase the pace of aggression, and the Japanese imperialists also formulated a plan for continuous expansion, and the bombing of Taiwan was also included in Japan's battle plan.

In December of the same year, the Fifth Brigade of the Imperial Japanese Air Force bombed Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, and 400,000 devils quickly logged in under the command of the Japanese Army Chief of Staff Honguchi, and the Japanese 104th Division, 18th Division, 19th Division, and 23rd Division of Gangcun attacked Fujian, and cooperated with Myitkyina Burma to surrender 90,000 Burmese Independent Army and 90,000 Vietnamese Independence Army, and launched an attack on the surrounding areas, Hainan, Yunnan, and Guangzhou, which were basically occupied in less than a month.

** It is the gateway of Chinese mainland, the economic hub and political and military outpost of the British Far East, and its strategic position is very important. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, with the fall of China's largest seaport, Shanghai and its capital Nanjing, "became the only gateway for Chongqing, which moved to the hinterland of Sichuan, to keep in touch with Britain and the United States and other countries, and at the same time served as a transit base for aid to Chiang (in the early days of the war, about 75% of the aid materials were transported to Guangdong through the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway An indispensable important position or propaganda and strategy base, which was even more indispensable."

In order to cut off the material supply line to Chinese mainland, it dealt a huge blow to Chiang Kai-shek ** materially and spiritually, forcing him to surrender as soon as possible; At the same time, the Japanese army was relieved of the major threat posed by the Japanese army to its plan to occupy Asia because of the "fear that the Allies would turn ** into a naval base in Asia", as early as soon after the Sino-Japanese war, especially after the fall of Guangzhou in October 1938, the Japanese army began to blockade the **, often bombing the Pearl River and Shenzhen, blocking all rivers and railways, and in February 1939, capturing Hainan Island, cutting off the contact between ** and overseas, establishing a secret service in **, bribing traitors to form a "fifth column"; Using the ** secret organization "Hong Gang", issuing weapons, trying to disrupt and subversive activities internally (later canceled due to the leakage of the plan).

On December 14, 1939, the battle plan for 1940 drawn up by the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army officially listed the ** operation as "the operational essentials of Britain and France when they participated in the war against China", and part of it stipulated: After the start of the war, the air force should be used to destroy the enemy's air force units in the vicinity and strive to annihilate the enemy's ships at anchor; On the army side, the 23rd Army, which was fighting near Guangdong

One is the main one, which is to capture from Kowloon head-on** and coordinate with the navy. The specific operational plan is: 1. Use the basic strength of about two divisions to attack from the Kowloon Peninsula first, and then capture **; 2. Depending on the situation, it can be directly landed on the south shore of ** island or may be limited to blockade operations on ** island; 3. In the attack, it is best to consider that it is best to use "water" (referring to cutting off the water source) or other means.

On June 22, 1940, the 18th Division of the 23rd Japanese Army carried out the Guangjiu operation, raided and landed in Bao'annan, Guangdong, captured the border town of Shenzhen, which bordered **, and completely blockaded **. Immediately, the Japanese army began to investigate the operational materials needed for the capture, and dispatched strategic materials such as aviation units, naval ships, and siege artillery. At the same time, "the detailed information of the military strength of the ** was fully grasped, and even the location of the batteries was well understood." ["On February 4, 1941, the Japanese army landed in Daya Bay, invaded Tamsui, and cut off the transportation line to Shaozhou.

On August 16, 1941, Japan formulated the "Key Points for the Implementation of Imperial National Policy", which was approved by the Imperial Council on September 6. On November 5, the Imperial Council approved the "Essentials for the Implementation of the Imperial National Policy" adopted by the joint meeting of the headquarters and ** on November 1, "determined to fight against the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands", and scheduled to start war in early December. In addition, the Operational Compendium of the Imperial Army was approved. It stipulates that the purpose of the war against the south is to occupy the main bases of the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands in the Far East, as well as the Philippines, Guam, **, Java, Sumatra, and the island of Difen.

Compared with the situation that the Japanese army is determined to win in order to capture the best soldiers, the British war against the first

** Pre-war preparations

Slightly defensive work, it seems sluggish and thin. In response to the German offensive, Britain pursued a foreign policy of appeasement towards Japan in the Far East. After the end of World War I, the "Five-Power Naval Treaty" signed at the Washington Conference stipulated that Britain was not allowed to build naval bases and new forts on the Pacific islands east of ** and 110 degrees east longitude.

In 1933, although Britain abolished the restrictions of the Washington Clause through the "London Naval Conference," in the face of the threat of two enemies, Japan in the Far East and German fascism in Western Europe, which was rapidly rising in Western Europe, Britain put the preservation of its economic interests in the first place, and disdained to spend more money on rearmament, in an attempt to make up for the lack of national defense strength through appeasement diplomacy. In the defense of the Far East, the mentality of passive preparation for war. He has never paid attention to the issue of national defense, but in order to recognize the "puppet state of Manchukuo" and Japan's special status in North China, he signed the "Anglo-Japanese Customs Agreement" and the "Arita - Klaiqi Agreement" with Japan, and other acts of appeasement that betrayed China's sovereignty, fantasized about gaining Japan's sympathy in exchange for "making up for the emptiness of its Far East defense, so as to achieve its self-interested goal of defending the interests of Britain in the Far East," and made a commitment not to support China's resistance against Japan.
