It was a long, bloody night.

In Victoria Bay, later named Shenzhen Bay, and on the battlefield of the Great Smoky Mountains, more than 12,000 Japanese troops were killed, and all the warships of the Japanese fleet were sunk, including Commander Masaichi Shinami, Lieutenant General Inoue Yasuo, and Major General Koichiro Masayama, all of whom died at sea.

On this night, the 38th Division was almost completely annihilated, only Ito Wolfo led more than 2,000 Japanese troops, and more than a dozen fighters fled back.

Under the command of Lu Yuan, the Anglo-Indian and Canadian forces led by Valles, Roshen, and Rhodes, as well as the reserve soldiers militia composed of tens of thousands of Hong Kong citizens, completely smashed the Japanese army's conspiracy to seize Hong Kong.

In later history, this night was called the Xiangjiang Miracle, and in the history of Japan, they called the defeat of this night the Xiangjiang Massacre.

Moreover, because most of the Japanese soldiers were killed without resistance after falling into the water, the Japanese army called it the Xiangjiang Massacre, and compared it with the Nanjing Massacre, hoping to show that no one is more merciful than anyone in the war!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Sakai is incompetent, and I am ashamed of His Majesty the Emperor, and I can only apologize for my guilt with death......"

Takashi Sakai heard the reports sent back from the Hong Kong battlefield one after another, and seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, he once thought that even if there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, it should be those of the British army, the people of China in Hong Kong, but he never expected that those corpses would be his own!

With a bang, his brain splattered, and Tadayoshi Sano's head was broken with a big hole, and he fell straight down!

"Your Excellency Sano......"

Looking at the body of Tadashi Sano who committed suicide by swallowing a gun, Takashi Sakai wanted to cry without tears, but he didn't expect that Tadayoshi Sano would commit suicide before himself to apologize.

Thinking that a few hours ago, he and Sano Tadayoshi were still proudly shouting to ask Commander Okamura Ninji to ask for credit for the two of them, he felt like a world away, and those words that were said were so harsh when I thought about it at this moment!

"Who is directing the fighting in Hong Kong? What went wrong? ”

Takashi Sakai muttered, thinking that he didn't even know who he was defeated, and he was unwilling to the extreme!

In the crisp sound of gunshots, Takashi Sakai fell to the ground and went to meet their emperor with Tadayoshi Sano.

Okamura Ninji woke up from his sleep, and of course he didn't see the plea for surrender from the Hong Kong British, whom Takashi Sakai and Tadayoshi Sano had promised last night.

"Up and down the 38th Division, only more than 2,000 people were left to withdraw to the territory of Bao'an County, nearly 100 fighters were shot down in the exchange of fire with the Air Force of the China People, and only more than 10 were left to return safely.......

"All the ships of the Second Squadron were sunk, and Vice Admiral Shinjian Masai and below were all martyred......

"When the 66th Wing crossed the sea, it was bombed by dozens of clusters of the Chinese Air Force, all of them were killed, and none of them survive......d."

With a bang, Okamura Ninjiji felt the sky spinning for a while, and fell directly to the ground, and it took a long time to wake up again, and he screamed with tears in his eyes: "Takashi Sakai, Tadashi Sano...... I'm going to take you to court-martial......"

"Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai and Lieutenant General Sano, in the early hours of the morning, had already committed suicide by swallowing a gun, pleading guilty to the emperor......" the Japanese staff officer shuddered.

"Yaga ......"

Okamura Ninji said, his eyes rolled and fainted.

This time after another, almost no one can afford the huge bad news.

The staff officer held in his hand a secret report that had been sent back from Hong Kong with great difficulty, and there were only a few words on it - Lu Yuan was in Hong Kong!

Japan's main island military headquarters.

Although the people on the main island of Japan have long been living in poverty, the military ministers of Hideki Tojo and other military aircraft in the military department are still immersed in the success of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the great victory in the war situation in Malaysia, India, and Burma.

"Although Your Excellency the Prime Minister is in danger and seems crazy, the current ending is extremely wonderful!"

"Yes, now that the Yankees have taught us a hard lesson, their Pacific Fleet will no longer be able to pose a threat to us in a short period of time, but our Great Japanese Empire will be able to obtain endless resources and expand armaments on new battlefields such as India, Malaysia, and Burma, and when the Yankees are ready to attack us again, our empire will definitely be strong again!"

"Yes, if the Yankees dare to come, we can teach them a more painful lesson than Pearl Harbor!"

The ministers laughed wildly, they had been completely carried away by this temporary victory.

"Gentlemen have won the award, everything I, Hideki Tojo, has done for the sake of the empire, as long as the empire can be strong, even if Hideki Tojo is broken, he will not give up ......"

Hideki Tojo said with a smug smile: "Now, with the resource support of India, Malay and other countries, we can greatly alleviate the problem of military supply in the army of China, this year, the war situation in China has been difficult, I believe that with the support of these resources, our imperial army will be able to set foot in China in a short time, and the hegemony of the East Asian co-prosperity circle of our Japanese empire will be ......achieved soon."

Many generals were crazy compliments again, and some people gritted their teeth and said: "The situation in my empire in China was going extremely smoothly, and it was all to blame on that damn bastard named Lu Yuan, and when I set foot in Pingchina in the future, I must find out this bastard, put him to death, and crush his bones and scatter ashes......"

"Yes, this bastard is simply guilty of death, so many imperial soldiers have lost their lives, and if they don't peel off their skins and bones, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in our hearts......"

Everyone gritted their teeth, and there was a sound of rage in the military headquarters, as if they were gnawing on someone's bones.

"Now, there are many good news in various places, but the offensive of the Hong Kong side is blocked everywhere, and I don't know how the war situation is now......" Hirohito said with a worried face.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, rest assured, Takashi Sakai and Tadayoshi Sano are both the best generals in our empire, and now they are hoarding heavy troops, there is no reason why they can't take Hong Kong!"

Hideki Tojo said confidently: "Yesterday, Sakai also sent a report to the empire that he already has a perfect plan, and it should be effortless to take Hong Kong......"

"That's right, Your Excellency Sakai Sano is a favorite general appointed by Prime Minister Tojo personally, and Prime Minister Tojo will definitely not be wrong......"

Many generals complimented, and Hideki Tojo was extremely proud!

Hirohito was extremely dissatisfied, but Hideki Tojo was now so powerful that even he was so jealous that he had to forcibly endure it!

"Commander Okamura Ninji of the Shina Theater of Operations is in an emergency!" A liaison officer trotted in.

"Read!"

Hideki Tojo laughed and said: "I believe this must be a secret report from Commander Okamura Ninji to report the good news, His Majesty the Emperor was still worried about Hong Kong just now, and now the news that Hong Kong has been taken has been transmitted back, hahaha......"
