Article 148: Liberation of Hong Kong
Early in the morning, the whole of Hong Kong was boiling.
Yesterday afternoon, the rumbling sound of artillery and violent explosions from the direction of Ming Creek had already made the nearby residents realize something that had not been seen for a long time, that a war to liberate the whole of Hong Kong was actually coming.
Soon, more detailed news came, and the brave men looked out at the Mingxi River in the distance and found the Cantonese army on the opposite side firing artillery at the British outpost.
Then, some people said that the British warships sailed into the Mingxi River, and that the Cantonese army on the opposite side might be about to suffer. Some people thought it was Chen Jitang's Guangdong Army at first, but they were laughed at. However, the sound of the cannon made many Hong Kong people understand who was fighting with the British army, and it turned out to be the southwestern political axe that has been in the limelight on the mainland recently.
Later, the news came that the destroyer of the British Royal Navy, which had been pinned on by some 'people with ulterior motives', had been sunk by fighters from the southwest, and some people had seen huge aerial bombs dropped from the planes, and only one or two of them blew up the destroyers, and the numerous aerial bombs blew the two destroyers into a pile of blazing fire on the spot.
Witnesses said that he had never seen such a terrible plane, a hundred times stronger than the British seaplanes.
By the evening, the rumors had become more and more widespread, and they were getting closer and closer to the truth, saying that the Southwest Army was preparing to enter Hong Kong Island, and the Kowloon area had been liberated.
Some people are already preparing to cover up and avoid the war, but many more are looking forward to it, especially some older people, who are crying bitterly. Standing at the door, holding on to the gate, looking in the direction of the mainland while crying.
The sons and daughters of China, how can they be enslaved by foreigners, today, the Southwest Army called, and everyone saw hope.
No one knew why the war started, but they all hoped that the Southwestern Army would come in as soon as possible.
Many people have hung up red flags representing revolution and war, fighting and victory. Some people put out sacrifices at the door of their homes, burned paper money in braziers, and sacrificed to the mainland, and some people killed pigs and sheep to prepare to welcome the Southwest People's Army.
It is true that Hong Kong has been away from the embrace of the motherland for too long, not to mention the cession of Hong Kong Island from the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, that is, from June 9, 1898, when it ceded the area north of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula and 262 nearby islands, and the lease period began with a lease period of 99 years, and it is now 34 years.
34 years is enough time for an infant baby to become a benevolent father.
34 years is enough time for an old man in a sixtieth year to never see the hope of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
34 years is enough time for a Hong Kong to suffer enough of all kinds of slavery from the British.
34 years is enough time to make people desperate!!
On the boiling and noisy night, the city of Hong Kong is full of chickens and dogs, and many foreigners even pack their luggage overnight and rush to the port frantically, ready to leave by boat overnight. However, at this time, except for the ships that picked up some important people to leave, the small and medium-sized ships that usually fill the port are gone.
When the British or the French, waving pounds and francs, ready to buy off the striking shipwrights, the reply was: foreigners and dogs are not allowed to leave the port, and the foreigners are shocked, once upon a time, isn't this their own way of treating these pig-like Chinese? Why is it now said that 'foreigners and dogs are not allowed to leave the port'?
Once upon a time, the armies of the foreigners won all battles, and the huge Chinese Empire was powerless to fight back. Once upon a time, they were able to ravage any Chinese they met.
In Hong Kong, they were colonizers. In front of the whole of China, they are the Western powers that are too strong to stop.
However, at this time, not only could they not leave Hong Kong, but they were also spontaneously surrounded and monitored by citizens. Citizens went on strike and marched overnight, and some citizens even surrounded some of the most heinous foreigners in their apartments, stating that they would wait for the trial and screening of the new policy axe before letting them go.
Early the next morning, several southwestern fighter planes finally flew over the city of Hong Kong and dropped countless leaflets, which contained a short passage that made the whole of Hong Kong boil: "Compatriots, at seven o'clock this morning, the Governor of Hong Kong and the British troops stationed in Hong Kong have surrendered unconditionally to the southwest political axe, and at 10 o'clock, the southwest army will march into the city." Please abide by the order and strictly guard against the criminals stealing and looting during the handover of power, and the Southwest Political Axe warns those potential criminals not to try to challenge the bottom line of the new regime, and the perpetrators will be judged regardless of nationality......"
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, all the citizens of the city spontaneously stood on both sides of the street, obeying the arrangements of the enlightened people and the university students, and lined up on both sides of the street in an orderly manner.
The streets were full of red flags and flowers, and they could not wait for the army from the mainland of the motherland to take care of the old and the young, calling for friends.
At this time, many people in Hong Kong were living in dire straits, the colonial economy that had been plundered, and the living conditions of the Chinese without human rights made everyone feel disgusted from the bones. Yes, some of them may live well in Hong Kong, and some of them may also enjoy the benefits of the colonizers' handouts, but for the vast majority of people, being a foreigner's third-class colonial citizen is definitely the greatest shame in their lives.
"Hahahaha...... Woowoo...... Hahaha...... I didn't expect that I would be able to see this day, old man, God, you have finally opened your eyes, the damn foreigner has finally been driven away, I am a big man, and finally there is a big hero......"
"Foreigners can no longer ride on our heads to and pee, and the dark days are about to pass."
"I heard that the three southwestern provinces are more developed than Hong Kong, and the number of cars in Kunming is much more developed than that of the medium-sized cities in the United States."
"The damned foreigner fleet can no longer show off its might, we Chinese also have aircraft carriers, and we Chinese also have aircraft."
"What a blessing for the ages, a great joy for the nation! Hahaha...... Woowoo woo ......"
On both sides of the street, in the orderly procession, there was a lot of people's voices, many people were smiling bitterly, and some were even crying with their heads in their arms, and the rumored powerful Southwest Army had finally liberated Hong Kong and finally rescued Hong Kong from the tragedy of the colony, and many people could not restrain themselves from crying with joy.
Just after ten o'clock, the streets gradually quieted down, and the whole city waited for the Southwestern Army to enter the city.
At this moment, the roar of airplanes from far and near was heard in the distant sky.
"Planes, planes from the Southwest!" I don't know who shouted, and the crowd looked towards the sky, only to see a large group of planes flying in the distance, about dozens of planes. The sky in the distance was densely covered, giving people a sense of supreme oppression, and as the group of planes flew closer, the entire sky was filled with the roar of fighter planes.
"Oooh...... Ahhhh......h
The crowd was boiling, frantically waving the Southwest flag in their hands to the sky, believing that the pilots on the plane would surely see their enthusiasm.
"Report to the captain, number 149 arrived in the sky over the city of Hong Kong on time." When the first plane flew overhead, the pilot could already see the bustling but orderly humanoid dragon below. This pilot from the Zigong region could not help but have tears in his eyes, although he was a fighter pilot who had just been transferred from the Guangzhou airport and did not take part in yesterday's air raid on the destroyer of the British Royal Navy, but at this moment, he still felt a great happiness and glory.
The liberation of Hong Kong is the glory of the southwest and the glory of the entire Southwest People's Army.
The commander of the fleet was also very emotional, and replied in a trembling voice: "Order!!" All the team members have, according to the original plan, the five aircraft formed a triangular parade formation, flying back and forth over the city, saluting Hong Kong and the wanderers returning from the motherland!! ”
At the moment of the order, the first five fighters quickly broke away from the formation, pulled up the nose at a large elevation angle, and rushed into the sky.
These fighters are all Jian-2 fighters that are installed in the southwest, and the fighters already have the surname and appearance of the advanced fighters in World War II in the future, and some of the aerodynamic designs are even more advanced, and the shape of the whole plane looks very beautiful.
In addition to the red five-pointed star, each fighter plane was also printed with a military flag with a southwest golden dragon flag and a southwest saber and gun cross. As the warplanes swept by, everyone could see the two shining flags.
This Southwest Golden Dragon Flag, which first appeared in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympic Games, has long been designated as the symbol of the Southwest regime, and the flamboyant five-clawed golden dragon has no superfluous decoration, because only this only totem is needed to represent China, because the Chinese people are the descendants of the dragon.
"Boom ......"
The fighter plane dived at a low altitude, causing a powerful response. Amid the roaring sound of engines, the formation of five planes swooped down from a high altitude, swept from a low altitude in an arc, and pulled up again.
"Long live the Air Force!! Long live the Southwest!! Long live China!! ”
"Long live the Air Force!! Long live the Southwest!! Long live China!! ”
"Long live the Air Force!! Long live the Southwest!! Long live China!! ”
…… The entire urban area of Hong Kong was in a sensation, and dozens of fighter planes swooped over and over the medium and low altitudes again and again in a triangular formation to present a gift to Hong Kong and the whole of China. All the people were cheering and shouting to their heart's content.
At 10:15, the troops of the Fifth Division of the Southwest Army finally arrived outside Hong Kong, and the leading military flag and the southwest flag made everyone cheer.
Tao Qian, the commander-in-chief of combat operations, was the first to jump out of the military vehicle, stopped the guards who were about to keep up, walked to the front, put his feet together, saluted, and said loudly to the majority of Hong Kong citizens: "Tao Qian, commander-in-chief of the combat operation of the Southwest People's Army to liberate Hong Kong, deputy minister of the Southwest Army, and major general of the Southwest Army, was ordered by Zhang Shusheng, the supreme leader of the Southwest People's Army, to lead the Fifth Division of the Southwest People's Army to enter Hong Kong at 10 o'clock in the morning on March 17, 1932. ”
Immediately, he turned around and ordered the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division behind him: "All of them, salute!" Now I announce, the ceremony of entering the city begins!! ”
"Defend the country and kill! Kill! Kill! ”
At the beginning of the ceremony of entering the city, all military trucks, carrying officers and men of the Fifth Division, entered Hong Kong City in a majestic and high-spirited manner. On the military card, a platoon-level officer led the team, dressed in a brand-new 31-year-old officer's uniform, looking very mighty, and the officer led the team to salute, while the other soldiers were dressed in field camouflage, wearing steel helmets, and holding a Huaxia-2 semi-automatic rifle in their hands.
Each soldier held his chest high, stood straight, his eyes were resolute, and he held a steel gun in his hand, with a murderous aura that had just gotten out of the line of fire, which made people admire at a glance, this was an iron-blooded elite soldier.
"Long live Hong Kong, long live the Southwest, long live China!!"
"Long live Hong Kong, long live the Southwest, long live China!!"
"Long live Hong Kong, long live the Southwest, long live China!!"
…… Seeing that his own nation also has such elite troops, even these civilians who don't understand military affairs can feel a sense of majesty from the soldiers who are dressed in camouflage and full of killing intent.
This is an iron-blooded elite army that can defend the nation, defend Hong Kong, resist foreign humiliation, and even expand its territory.
Compared with the previous British army stationed in Hong Kong, the Southwest Army is more murderous and more deterrent.
"Salute!!"
When each military truck entered the city, the officer leading the team would shout the salute command, and then the soldiers of the entire military vehicle saluted neatly, and then drove into the city.
All the Chinese are boiling with blood, yes, unprecedented, when have I ever seen the Chinese have such a powerful army, compared with the British army that was still visible everywhere in the city yesterday, the southwest army of their own nation, whether it is military discipline and military appearance, is several times stronger.
The most important thing is that this is our own army, this is the army of the Chinese, this is the national army that defends the country and kills the enemy and the people!
The last person to enter the city was none other than Zhang Shusheng, who came to Hong Kong from Kunming. It was also at this time that the enthusiasm of the whole of Hong Kong reached its highest point.
Zhang Shusheng did not have the most advanced city because he wanted to give this honor to the soldiers, and it was the soldiers who liberated Hong Kong. Perhaps, they did not fight hard in Hong Kong, but they can liberate Hong Kong today, and tomorrow they can also open up and expand the territory of this once suffering nation, and only they can lay a wonderful tomorrow for this nation.
At the last moment, the Supreme Commander of the British Army in Hong Kong and the Royal Governor of Hong Kong came to the outside of the city and handed over a surrender to Zhang Shusheng, excluding the navy, and the British army and political axe agencies in Hong Kong formally surrendered unconditionally to the southwest regime represented by Zhang Shusheng.
Zhang Shusheng took the saber and the surrender letter, and the cheers at the scene suddenly reached the highest point.
In the face of more than 100,000 Hong Kong residents, Zhang Shusheng delivered a short but very contagious speech, because, in the end, he also cried, no one here can understand him, the future of Hong Kong, but in 1997 to take back, many disasters, all kinds of twists and turns, but today in 1932 back to the embrace of the motherland, how can he not cry silently.
“…… My dear compatriots, all kinds of humiliation and all kinds of difficulties will stop on this day, China will surely rejuvenate, let us remember the past, look forward to the future, and erase all the shame that the enemy has inflicted on us through iron-blooded means.
Hong Kong and Macao are only the first step, and the next step is to invade China. I assure you that I will make my life's work for the rejuvenation of the entire nation!
Long live Hong Kong!! Long live the Southwest!! Long live the Chinese Han!! ”
