Because of the arrival of Lu Yuan, they launched a counter-air attack on the Japanese army in advance, which not only destroyed all the 70 or 80 sorties of the Japanese army, but also blew up all the Japanese artillery groups into scrap metal.

Therefore, the Japanese attack on Hong Kong did not happen smoothly at all, and was even forced to use infantry as a pioneer in the first place, which gave Lu Yuan time to arrange many things.

In addition to calling on the people of Hong Kong to use all possible means to save drinking water, every household must build a small reservoir as soon as possible to divert water for storage in case of rainfall.

At the same time, Lu Yuan also strengthened the key deployment of the Victoria Reservoir area in Wong Nai Chung, and in addition to the fortifications originally built by the British army in this area, he arranged for the militia to send thousands of secret personnel to build new fortifications day and night, and pulled cement from the cement factory on Lantau Island and the original cement factory on the island to build permanent fortifications, and the heavy firepower such as light and heavy machine guns was even more intensively arranged.

At the same time, the vanguard of the Japanese attack, under the command of Ito Wood, had already engaged the British troops on the border.

Last night's bombing not only caused the Japanese planes and artillery fire to be completely lost, but the artillery commander Kitajima Ji Zixiong was directly killed, and even the Japanese infantry was bombed crying dad and mother, and five or six hundred people were killed and countless wounded were killed in the indiscriminate bombardment before they could attack.

Therefore, as soon as Ito Wood gave the order, except for Araki's 66th Wing, which was pinned down in Tamsui, the 228229230th Wing of the other three infantry wings, with the cooperation of some small artillery that had been put together with great difficulty in terms of artillery, rushed to the border with a roar, destroyed the barbed wire fence and prepared to go straight to Kowloon, Hong Kong.

According to intelligence, along the border, the Anglo-Indian-Canadian forces were not fortified at all, and all their forces were concentrated on the Drunken Bay defensive line.

It is true in history that the Japanese army did not encounter any resistance at all when destroying the border barbed wire, and the infantry of the three wings ran after the retreating coalition troops in a day's time, and chased them to the area of Jintian Zhukeng, Daputou Nankeng, north of the Great Smoky Mountains, and camped in a grand manner to prepare for the attack on the south of the Great Smoky Mountains.

This time, too, outside the barbed wire, quietly.

The Japanese cut through the barbed wire, and a large number of troops frantically poured in, screaming and preparing to launch a direct pursuit based on the information provided by the intelligence.

Then these Japanese soldiers fell into bloody bad luck.

"Release......"

In the far rear, the artillery of Trojan County with more than a dozen Warwick suddenly dragged over the heavy artillery has already silently adjusted the firing angle, as soon as the time comes, they immediately ripped off the camouflage on the cannon, the huge cannonball stuffed into the barrel, in the roar of the artillery, the cannonball with a earth-shattering roar, whistling out!

At the same time, small and medium-sized artillery fire in those hidden positions not far from the border was also fired in unison!

Woohoo......

Empty, empty!

The shells tore through the air and made a sharp sound, which only made the Japanese soldiers on the border line feel terrified, and when they looked up, they saw that the shells as dense as hail were smashed over their heads and faces!

"Yaga ......"

"Shelling, shelling...... Anti-artillery ......"

Amid the terrible ghost cries of the Japanese army, countless shells exploded along the border line, and the whistling shrapnel weaved a criss-crossing line of death, cutting everything in between.

Especially those heavy artillery, the sound of the explosion is like a huge cowhide drum beating in the ears, I don't know how many Japanese soldiers were instantly shattered ear drums, even if they stood far away from the explosion point, they were swept into the air like dead leaves by the whistling air waves!

Flying all over the sky were fragments of the flesh and blood of the Japanese army, and the scene was simply miserable.

Under the bombardment of the Japanese army's cluster artillery fire, it was almost like being in hell, and there was no power to resist, and what was even more terrifying was that one or two hundred meters away, in those originally ordinary mountains, suddenly a large number of British troops came out from under the turf, and the machine guns and rifles fired in unison, shooting those Japanese soldiers as if they were shooting targets!

The Japanese soldiers outside the barbed wire cried and shouted to their mothers to retreat frantically, but those Japanese soldiers who had already drilled through the barbed wire couldn't withdraw if they wanted to!

Because the scope of the artillery bombardment is bounded by barbed wire, if they want to retreat, it is equivalent to drilling into the hell composed of artillery fire!

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, rush up for me, kill all this group of white-skinned pigs, and occupy the position!"

The first to drill through the barbed wire was the 229th Wing commanded by Ryozaburo Higashida Nakazaburo Osa, which had almost eight or nine hundred men, and now it was hopeless to retreat, and the number of British troops in ambush in front seemed to be small, and there was no solid offensive, and the hidden trenches under the turf were obviously temporarily dug, and it should not be too difficult to break through.

Therefore, as soon as the command knife of Higashida Nakazaburo pointed forward, the leader screamed and pounced.

In the dense gunfire, countless Japanese troops fell, but more Japanese troops continued to advance, approaching the perimeter of the temporary trench defense line, one by one the Japanese soldiers began to laugh wildly, they swore that once they broke through the defense line, they must chop up all these despicable white-skinned pigs and feed them to the dogs, so as to vent their anger.

The ferocity of these Japanese troops was obviously far beyond all the surprises of blocking the British troops, and everyone's faces were a little pale.

However, these British troops had no intention of retreating, because they all knew that Shangfeng had already arranged for this situation, and it is said that Na Lu Yuan personally designed a defensive strategy in order to deal with the situation that might arise here.

"Fire!"

At the moment when he saw that the remaining 700 or so Japanese troops were about to break through the defense line and begin to retaliate frantically, with an earth-shattering roar, on both sides of the position, more than a dozen or twenty light and heavy machine guns suddenly set up and opened fire frantically!

At the same time, a large number of soldiers of the Canadian Brigade screamed and pounced on both sides, trying to outflank the Japanese troops who were forcing their way forward.

"Ahhh......h

In the torrential rain of bullets, these Japanese soldiers fell in pieces like cutting wheat, and the screams were endless!

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly......"

Higashida Nakazaburo didn't know where it was Zhongji at the moment, and he roared to command the troops to retreat and break through the encirclement, and the Japanese troops outside the barbed wire also roared and wanted to come over to respond, they had already discovered that the other party was planning to annihilate all the troops that broke through the border here!

It's a pity that the British Canadian Army, which had expected all this, would easily let these Japanese troops get their wish, frantically intercept and shoot to prevent the Japanese army led by Ryozaburo Higashida from breaking through, those artillery fires, especially those heavy artillery, fell one after another in the middle of the Japanese troops who tried to meet them like eyes, and the Japanese soldiers who were blown up suffered countless casualties, but they couldn't get close to half a step at all!
