The Japanese attack was frenzied, they fought fiercely for more than four hours, advanced layer by layer, and had reached the vicinity of the urban areas of Macao and Hong Kong, and the countdown to the capture had begun.

The artillery fire here made the old Chiang garrison in Guangzhou very worried, and they wondered if the Japanese army would be silent and go up the river to attack Guangzhou. But soon they got the news that the advance army had set out from Shanghai and rushed here to meet the Japanese army.

This news relieved the garrison here, and ordered the troops to shrink their defenses and wait for the arrival of the advance army, not to fire at the Japanese first, even if they hit Guangzhou, they would stick to it and wait for reinforcements to fight with Japan.

Qu Jun was not in a hurry at all, at this time he had already begun to assemble in Yangzhou, waiting for the group of planes returning from Guangzhou to respond. As for the group of planes behind them, there is no need to count on them, they are all carrying bombs and oil drums, where is there a place to store them?

Sun Tao will be leisurely for a long time, while arranging for the recruited new guests to go forward in a truck, concentrate on starting training in the afternoon, rest for a night and then rush in a car, so that the back and forth is not much slower than the speed of the large army.

Otherwise, the steady stream of people who came to join the army was afraid that they would be left behind by the large army, or too crowded, making it difficult for the army to march.

In order to have more trucks to transport personnel and supplies, Sun Tao hired trucks from individuals and veteran troops along the way according to Liu Yucheng's instructions, and all of them paid in advance, all of which were oceans. This made the happy mouths of the generals of the old well troops can't close their mouths, they only need to rent the truck, a car is 10 yuan a day, and a rental is a month, and even pay for the return time, just another calculation, five yuan a day. In this way, one car is nearly 500 in a month. What unit does not have dozens or hundreds of trucks? That's definitely a lot of income.

As for individuals, let alone giving money, even if they don't give it, they can't fight or not support, this is the unit that is going to the front line, and it is the main force that defeated the Japanese army. They are just short requisition, and these individuals can't say no.

With an income of 500 yuan per car, these people are naturally more enthusiastic, which also leads to Sun Tao's army not lacking cars at all, but the consumption of oil has increased greatly, and they have no choice but to go through Jilin and Shenyang, and transport a large number of refined oil from Shanhaiguan.

Needless to say, Liu Canghao was there, and the trucks were all provided by him. Of course, Du Yuming did not dare to stop him, because Liu Yucheng personally contacted Lao Jiang and explained that the transportation of oil could only go to Heilongjiang, or the desert would not be easy to walk, and the grassland would not be easy.

Of course, Lao Jiang can't stop it, it's good if he doesn't help, how can he stop it?

It's just that he ordered all the way to be allowed to help as much as possible. My head was full of question marks, and I didn't understand where the fuel for the advance army came from. But. The advance army occupied a large area of Soviet Russia, and the seizure of Russian oil depots there should be an acceptable reason for upgrading.

The movement of the advance army to the west was too large, and the recruitment was still open, so that the attention of the Manchu world ignored the great war in Hong Kong and Macao. Besides, the people of Shanghai don't know the Dao in Guangzhou. After all, neither the advance army nor Lao Jiang were silent. The battle that took place there was only known to the surrounding people.

Sun Tao had four divisions downstairs in Tianjin, and he took back a regiment stationed in Qinhuangdao and handed over Qinhuangdao to Zhang Zizhong to manage. There was a posture of wanting the whole line of vehicles to withdraw the supply line, and even Zhang Jiashunkou's troops packed up and greeted Yan Laoxi. Prepare to follow the troops to the west, do not stay in Zhangjiakou, and take care of the supply line.

The facilities and institutions of the advance army should be demolished, the original supply depots and other things have been emptied, and there are no mountains of supplies and oil.

Along the way, the places that entered Mongolia have been completely removed, and the nearest ones have moved closer to Zhangjiakou or Mongolia, and all the materials have been taken away, leaving not a single soldier behind.

These actions made Lao Jiang secretly happy. He knew that the advance army had really withdrawn on all fronts. He really didn't have to worry about the advance army getting involved in his hegemony. However, he was still very sober at this time, and he could not let the advance army have any excuse, and he absolutely could not give the advance army any reason to stay until the advance army left the whole territory and entered Burma.

This will be with the opponent openly and secretly to seize territory and develop their own foundations, although they are helpless, but they can only do so first.

Sun Tao's army marched smoothly all the way, and he himself stayed in Tianjin for another night, and he was going to leave tomorrow. Originally, I didn't expect the Japanese army to attack Hong Kong, and I didn't expect that the Japanese army's attack would be very fast, so fast that before it was dark, it would surround the urban areas of Hong Kong and Macao, and all the surrounding areas had been fully controlled, and they began to frantically plunder materials and wealth, and concentrated these near the port, waiting for the city to be captured, and the warships and transport ships would control the stolen freighters, plus transport ships and supply ships, to deliver these materials and wealth to Taiwan.

The reason for his move was that he was going to rush to Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon, and if the Japanese broke through Hong Kong, he would have to sit there and deal with the British.

It's not impossible to hand these over to Qu Jungang, but his weight is more sufficient, at least so that the British won't say too many troublesome conditions because Qu Jungang is just a general. He can represent the will of Dong Ku, the highest level of the advance army. Therefore, Liu Yucheng asked him to rush to Hong Kong and wait for the British to meet in Guangzhou. And, of course, the Portuguese people.

This night, for others, was nothing, but for the British and Portuguese troops in Hong Kong and Macau, it was a nightmare.

The Japanese did not stop after besieging the city, and they would not give the trapped enemy a chance to breathe. But there is no strong offensive momentum. They would have plenty of ammunition, plus captured ammunition, enough for them to have a luxury.

As a result, the shells whistled and landed on the outlying positions of the city from time to time, and the explosion exploded with a bang. The firelight was especially bright at night.

As soon as the Japanese army did this, the defenders of Hong Kong and Macao were miserable, and the artillery bombardment was loose for a while, tight for a while, and stopped for half an hour and 20 minutes for another while, so that the defenders on the position did not dare to sleep at all, and hid in the anti-artillery holes in panic, and once the shelling was over, they rushed to the position to prevent the Japanese from taking the opportunity to attack the position.

This is exactly what the Japanese army intended, they wanted to make the defenders tired, and when it came time to attack, they would not be able to keep up with their physical strength and spirit, and in the case of malaise, the resistance would be much smaller.

The loud bang made it impossible for the citizens of the city to sleep. The battle here came so abruptly that they didn't even have time to leave, and they were blocked. There are countless wealthy people here who fled here to escape the Japanese invasion. But now it's okay, all the belongings are here, not to mention, and it's hard for people to leave.

They all knew about the Nanjing Massacre, and they had seen the tragedy there in the newspapers, and even saw the edited short films. The ferocity of the Japanese made them all feel that a catastrophe was coming, and they all knew that the chances of Lu Dao's survival were slim.

Not all Chinese here, there are also British and other merchants who have money, after all, the transportation here is very convenient, and there is a large port of Guangzhou, which is convenient for trade. They were also tied up, and they couldn't leave, and they all prayed that the Japanese would not come in and that reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, these were just fantasies, and when Qu Jun had just prepared for an attack at any time, and six submarines had already rushed to the nearby seas to monitor the movements of the Japanese army in transporting supplies, the Japanese attack began.

They tossed and turned for half a night, stopped shelling at one o'clock in the morning, and at two o'clock, launched an attack on all fronts.

The light carried by the shells and bullets tore through the night, and the sky was lit up by the light of the fire in the roaring explosions. The violent explosion shattered the glass in the city, and the frightened people were even more panicked, wondering if it was still a cannon battle this time.

But the British and Portuguese soldiers knew that this time it was an attack, because the density of artillery fire was continuous, and the forward positions were already covered by artillery fire, and it was not a feint at all, this was an attack.

As a result, the troops took positions to avoid the shelling. Always ready to meet the Japanese army.

The shelling, which lasted for nearly half an hour, directly destroyed the forward positions and bombarded the most rear-line defense line along the edge of the city, making the defenders miserable and the positions even more scattered.

On the Hong Kong side, at the moment when the artillery fire was extended, the British troops in the forward positions quickly advanced into the Japanese and were shattered to death, desperately repairing the trenches, and preparing to meet the Japanese army.

But they were digging with shovels, when suddenly someone on alert saw a figure shaking in the distance. The battle broke out at this moment.

The clatter of gunfire accompanied by the explosion of grenades made the early morning noisy. Relying on the superiority of their strength, the Japanese had no intention of attacking in echelons, and the moment hundreds of machine guns opened fire on the opposite side, a clatter sounded, and a dense rain of bullets instantly pressed the British troops into the broken trenches.

The flying bullets weaved a fiery net in the night, firmly covering the British troops on the position.

The attacking troops, suppressed by the machine guns, quickly threw down the edge of the position, followed by a grenade flying into the trench, and in the counterattack from the opposite side, the explosion exploded.

The British resistance was extremely fragile, they did not have enough cover to provide protection, and the Japanese attacked too fast, almost chasing the shells. After the rain of bullets was suppressed, although they fought back desperately, the firepower on the opposite side was too dense, so they were powerless to resist, and in the explosion, they fell unwillingly one by one.

The attack lasted less than ten minutes, and the Japanese broke through the position on all fronts, engaged the British in a white-knuckle battle, and then expanded the opening and attacked both sides.

In the night, the screams and roars came far and wide, making the people in the city creepy. Fierce white-knuckle combat. Less than 20 minutes on the other side of the river, Hong Kong's outlying positions were lost as the shells landed on the city.

At the same time, Macau was faster than Hong Kong, and while breaking through the outlying positions on this side, it had already broken through the city and engaged in fierce street fighting with the Portuguese troops.

At this point, it was only time before Hong Kong and Macao fell, and even if the resistance was fierce, by dawn and morning, it would be completely controlled by the Japanese army. (To be continued......)
