Chapter 659: The Final Battle (5)

The battle of Hong Kong was indeed more difficult than many cadres imagined, and the Japanese army's defense was far tighter than people expected, and the Japanese army alone placed more than 230 firepower points on the south bank of the Shenzhen River, and more than 500 heavy machine guns were fired, not including the firepower that was still hidden, and the Japanese army also arranged a large amount of artillery fire on the position, and the third attack of Li Dayong's headquarters was crushed by a sudden artillery bombardment.

However, the attack of the squadron was not for nothing, because the continuous attack of the squadron caused great pressure on the Japanese army, so Major General Okada Mekichi had to concentrate more troops on the south bank of the Shenzhen River. At the same time, Okada Meji had to ask the base camp for help, hoping that the base camp could transfer part of the troops stationed in Taiwan to Hong Kong Island. But now the Japanese army is asking for help on various battlefields, and compared to Hong Kong, the first thing that the Japanese army is most worried about is that the Allies will use Okinawa Island as a springboard to attack the Japanese mainland, so the base camp rejected Okada Meji's request for help.

Soon, the special combat personnel who infiltrated Hong Kong sent back the latest situation in Hong Kong, especially the detailed deployment map of the Japanese army, which made Han Yunhua feel like a treasure. Judging from the information sent back by the special combat personnel, the Japanese army's defensive arrangements were not at all different from Han Yunhua's pre-war predictions, and the city was indeed unusually empty; except for the main strategic points that were controlled by the Japanese army, the rest were all guarded by local organizations and underworld forces in Hong Kong, not to mention the lack of personnel, and the combat effectiveness was also uneven.

During the period of Japanese rule, Hong Kong's various industries withered, and only gambling, drug abuse and other criminal industries developed, and the development of these criminal industries gave birth to a large number of mafia forces controlled by Japan. These underworld forces opened casinos to sell tobacco, and there were casinos from the most lively Queen's Road to the most remote corners, and the notorious big casinos included the 'Rongsheng Company' and the 'Liangli Company'. At the entrance of the casino is often a Japanese flag, a sign that says 'Get rich, please come in', some people are ringing bells, and some are entertained by prostitutes. This is the 'new order' that the Japanese army brought to Hong Kong. Most of the people who opened casinos were outlaws who colluded with the Japanese army, and some even marked the hall names of their secret organizations in the past, such as 'Eighteen Sons' and 'Yuechengtang'. After the commander of the Southern Branch Dispatch Army, Kuichi Tanaka, concurrently served as the governor of Hong Kong, he openly encouraged gambling and gambling to pay for military expenses. In addition, the Japanese army encouraged drug use. The enemy's Governor's Department set up a drug trafficking agency--- Yuzhen Company, which transported tobacco from Rehe by plane, and opened a smoking house to allow smokers to buy cigarettes with licenses. Using these means, the Japanese quickly recruited a large number of vagrants in Hong Kong, and now due to the small number of troops, it was natural for Okada Megichi to think of these people.

After reading the information, Han Yunhua gave the troops the final combat order and made an airborne landing on the morning of the 5th. This sneak attack on Hong Kong by the airborne troops is basically not hidden, Hong Kong is so big, how can so many parachutes be hidden from the Japanese reconnaissance, so Han Yunhua originally did not plan to conceal, it is more appropriate to come openly than secretly.

On the morning of the 5th, Li Dayong's department launched the first attack, this time and the previous attack is almost no big difference, but the scale of the artillery bombardment has been increased, this time not only the heavy artillery units were organized to participate in the battle, but also the armored troops participated in the battle, because of the battle of crossing the river, so the armored troops have not participated in the battle, anyway, armored vehicles and tanks can not cross the Shenzhen River, and it is also troublesome to get it, and it is not as simple as the infantry.

But today it is different, the troops are going to carry out a general offensive, and the armored forces still have to be ready for battle, anyway, the order given by the commander did not dare to question it.

The airborne troops assembled at 5 a.m., boarded the plane at 5:30 a.m., and arrived over Hong Kong at 6:30 a.m. Due to the radar warning of the Japanese army, the Japanese army has made air defense preparations, two antiaircraft artillery squadrons have been put in place, and at the same time, all the important tasks in Hong Kong have been moved into underground air raid shelters.

However, to the surprise of the Japanese, the Chinese Air Force did not drop aerial bombs this time, but one after another white parachutes, densely packed, and the number of parachute bags alone was no less than tens of thousands.

Soon the Japanese army came to their senses and knew that this was the strategy of the squadron, and this was to forcibly take Hong Kong Island. When Okada received a call from the city, he immediately ordered his troops to attack, making sure to kill the paratroopers before they landed. However, soon there was a rapid alarm in the city, followed by the interruption of electricity, transportation, and communications in the city, and emergency accidents occurred in several places heavily guarded by the Japanese army, including explosions and assassinations. Due to the loss of communication, Okada Meji had no choice but to send a reconnaissance force back to Hong Kong City immediately to convey orders to the following Nakasa.

What Okada Megichi didn't expect was that several of the scouts he sent out were killed by the sniper team sent by No. 7 before they could go out of the battlefield, and Okada Megi didn't know that his herald didn't convey the order at all. However, this is not within Han Yunhua's consideration, the more this is the case, the happier Han Yunhua will be.

The Japanese army did not expect that the squadron would attack Hong Kong in such a risky way, and if it was not good, it would be annihilated, and because of this, the Japanese army was caught off guard all of a sudden. Since there are not many troops in the city of Hong Kong, the vast majority of the troops are outside the city, mainly concentrated on the south bank of the Shenzhen River, and it takes at least half an hour to catch up now, which is still the case of a car, and the traffic is also very good, otherwise half an hour may be a little short.

However, the squadron did not give the Japanese army this opportunity, and the paratroopers fell from the sky, although the speed was a little slow, but more than ten minutes was enough, and a large number of Chinese paratroopers landed in the city, in groups of three or five, and as soon as they landed, the troops rushed to the predetermined assembly area.

Although many paratroopers were shot and killed by the Japanese army in the air during this process, the number was not large, and with the cooperation of more than 200 special combat personnel led by No. 7 in the city, the few thousand Japanese soldiers in Hong Kong alone could not stop the landing of the Chinese paratroopers.

At 7:00 a.m., after completing the assembly, the Chinese paratroopers quickly rushed to the important facilities in Hong Kong, including the railway station, the television station, the port, the barracks, and the governor's palace. The most important thing in this is the port, Han Yunhua specially took care of it, after the paratroopers landed, they must control Victoria Harbor in the fastest time, and it is best to destroy the Japanese South China Fleet in the port, especially those two battleships, if they can't be captured, they will be completely destroyed.

At 7:30, news came on the 7th that the first squad of the special combat team launched a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Japanese South China Fleet, and completely annihilated the South China Fleet headquarters at the naval barracks in Victoria Harbor, and 13 senior officers, including the fleet commander Vice Admiral Fujita Taro, were captured, including a lieutenant general, 2 major generals, 4 large generals, and 6 middle commanders. In addition, dozens of warships of the navy fleet were damaged in the harbor, knowing that Han Yunhua coveted these Japanese warships, so the special combat team members acted very measuredly, and only used bombs to temporarily destroy the power system of the warships, so that these behemoths temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, and did not destroy these warships excessively.

Immediately after that, the special combat team attacked the army headquarters of Major General Okada Mekichi, but because the Japanese army had already taken precautions, the operation unfortunately failed, and 22 of the 75 special operators who participated in the battle were killed, and another 42 were wounded, almost all of the troops were wiped out, and even the 7th himself was wounded.

However, due to the continuous sorties of the special combat team, the main force of the Japanese army was greatly restrained, and the time was won for the paratroopers to assemble, and after the completion of the assembly, the paratroopers quickly occupied the main stronghold in Hong Kong City like a tiger descending from a mountain, and are gradually developing around Hong Kong City with the trend of flowering in the center. In addition, at the signal of the troops entering the city, more paratroopers fell from the sky.

By 11 o'clock in the morning, the squadron parachuted into Hong Kong had exceeded more than 37,000 people. [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
