"The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows, and this matter is difficult to complete."

If the Governor of Luo Fuguo also knew a little about Tang poetry and Song lyrics, then he would definitely chant Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head" at this time.

At the same time that the commander of the British forces stationed in Hong Kong, Mordeby, received a telegram that the Han Royal Fleet had arrived at Lingding Ocean and would enter Victoria Harbor in an hour, another phone call completely made the British major general's mood drop in an instant: the Japanese army on the north bank of the Shenzhen River began to storm the Kwong Fu Bridge in Tai Po.

“FUCK！” Mordepi, who often calls himself a gentleman general, blurted out, "Is there a more insidious nation in this world than the Japanese elves?" "In just over an hour, the handover will be completed, and then it's none of our British's business if you want to fight or kill, but these Japanese dwarf monkeys want to attack at this time.

"Hold on! Mohan, quickly inform the 2nd Royal Scottish Battalion and the 2nd Battalion of the 14th Punjab Regiment to suspend their retreat and hold their positions. If Hong Kong had been lost in the last hour, Mordebi's military career would have come to an end, and the Ah San communications soldier, wearing a white turban, saw the anxiety on the general's face, changed his usual laziness, and strode to call the British commander of the Kowloon defensive line.

"God forbid, hope is still in a hurry, and I hope that the soldiers who have been notified to go home will not pack their backpacks so quickly." Mordebi kept praying with a cross on his chest.

However, God today is conspicuously busy and does not hear Mordebi's prayers. The 5,000 British and Indian troops and a small number of Canadian artillery on the defensive line of Drunken Bay, a mountainous area north of Kowloon, had already withdrawn from their positions and were happily setting off in a procession to board the ship at the pier on Hong Kong Island. To be able to leave this ghost place where war may start at any time, whether it is the Asan or the British soldiers, they are very happy! On the contrary, the volunteers, composed of Hong Kong locals and Chinese who had fled to Hong Kong due to the war, remained on their ground. The other piece of good news was that the Canadians had graciously left three bulky howitzers for the Volunteers, and the three 105mm howitzers were ready to fire.

The Punjab battalion, commanded by British officers, was the first to receive orders from Mordebe. The officers ordered to immediately drop their backpacks and run back to the city gate fort position, but the vanguard of the 228th Wing of the 38th Division of the Japanese army had already broken into the city gate fort, and when they saw the British and Indian troops returning, they immediately opened fire, taking the Punjab battalion by surprise. The accurate marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers made the Ah San, who had their heads wrapped in turbans, instantly fall down in a row and make a mess. Brigadier General Luce, the commander of the British Kowloon Army, yelled to regroup the soldiers and set up Vickers machine guns to return fire.

The Punjab battalion from the five river valleys was relatively capable of fighting among the Indian soldiers, and Brigadier General Luce was also a qualified commander, and after the initial panic, the British and Indian troops stabilized their positions, and the line of attack gradually unfolded. The vanguard of the Japanese 228th Wing was only a squadron, and it was simply unable to hold the fortress position at the city gate that was receiving the enemy on all sides, and after several machine gun fire and mortar groups were knocked out one after another, the British and Indian troops approached the trench line, and the Japanese squadron leader howled: bayonet!

"Boom, boom" A few howitzers seemed to be unable to stand his unpleasant sound falling outside the position. Yes, the several howitzers left by the Canadian artillery on Stonecutters Island, under the operation of several two-pole gunners of the Volunteers, accurately hit the fortress position at the city gate, and the British and Indian troops who were about to attack the position suffered heavy casualties in the artillery fire, while the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches were unscathed.

Luce, who was lying on the ground, punched hard, scolding in his mouth, I don't know if he said: If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of ......

The last hope of the British and Indian troops to regain their positions was blown away by the howitzers of the Volunteers, and the Punjab battalion withdrew in a panic. In this case, Luce had nothing to do, gritted his teeth, and retreated to Hong Kong Island with the defeated soldiers.

The main force of the 228th Wing of the Japanese Army caught up and stabilized the position of the fortress at the city gate, and then launched an attack on Jinshan, and the volunteers on the position could not resist, and thirty minutes later, Jinshan was lost, and the entire line of the Drunken Bay defense line was broken. More than 1,000 volunteers who bravely resisted on the Jinshan position were surrounded and slaughtered by the Japanese army, and none of them survived.

After the loss of the New Territories, the loss of Kowloon, and the siege of the British Army Headquarters in Kowloon Tong, Brigadier General Rodison led his troops to surrender, and the British and Indian defenders and the rest of the volunteers all retreated to the Yau Ma Tei area.

The 230th Wing of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army followed the fleeing crowd to chase and kill, the British and Indian troops hid behind sandbags and bravely blocked in the building, and the 230th Wing did not carry heavy weapons because of the rapid march and pursuit, and after encountering fierce resistance in the Jianshuizui defense, it left dozens of casualties, and retreated from the battle, waiting for the artillerymen who were left behind.

The Anglo-Indian army led by Major General Mordbee paid hundreds of casualties and finally temporarily stabilized the last line of defense on the Kowloon Peninsula. However, the major general also knew that the improvised defensive line was not stable, and when the heavy equipment of the Japanese army was brought in, the next attack would definitely be more violent. Moreover, the Japanese army could also summon aircraft to support, and the Japanese bombers at several nearby airfields would not travel more than an hour from Hong Kong.

The confidence that sustained Mordepi's hold was his belief that the Han army would never sit idly by while the Japanese army attacked the city. If they take off the carrier-based aircraft support on the aircraft carrier as soon as they get the news, calculate the time, and it will almost be time to arrive. In particular, the Han Royal Navy has a powerful battleship, and the northern fleet enters Victoria Harbor, and the naval guns on the battleships can definitely make the souls of those sinister Japanese dwarves scatter.

Therefore, as long as the Tsim Sha Tsui railway station is still in the hands of the British army, it means that the British handed over the whole of Hong Kong to the Han Dynasty, which has nothing to do with the battle, and this is the dignity of the British Empire that Mordebey must preserve.

But Modber, who was determined to hold on to Tsim Sha Tsui, never imagined that something that would make him more desperate than the Japanese attack again, almost sent the heroic British and Indian troops to a dead end: a Japanese soldier in an open-top car with a white flag sent a letter.

As soon as he heard that the Japanese army had crossed the Shenzhen River to launch an attack, Luo Fuguo Port went to the headquarters of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army in a lonely car to protest, but as the battle continued, Luo Fuguo was detained by the Japanese army. This Japanese officer sent a letter in his own hand: The Governor of Hong Kong ordered all the British and Indian troops in Hong Kong to surrender to the Japanese army.

“SHIT！” The gentleman general no longer remembered how many times he had spoken swear today, and theoretically the Governor of Hong Kong was the supreme military and political commander of the British government of Hong Kong, and Mordebey had to obey the orders of the Governor. Could it be that the line of defense held at great cost of casualties was just lost? Is it just a matter of holding on a little longer to the dignified handover that you can wait for, and just give up?
