According to the original history, the day before the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan launched a large-scale attack on Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Burma with more than 400,000 troops under the command of Terauchi Shouichi. Later, on the same day that Nagumo Tadachi launched an attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan began to attack Hong Kong. With the cooperation of artillery, air force, and navy, the main force of the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on Hong Kong. The Air Force first bombed Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport and British warships anchored in Hong Kong waters, destroying the weak air force of the British forces in Hong Kong. Immediately afterward, the Japanese infantry launched an attack on the Kowloon Fortress. The Continental Brigade under the command of Brigadier General Wallis was negligent in its defense, and the Kowloon Fortress was easily captured by the Japanese, and the British army was forced to move to Hong Kong Island. Two weeks later, the Governor of Hong Kong, Yang Muqi, surrendered to the Japanese commander, Takashi Sakai.

After the Japanese army entered the city, they looted, raped women and killed innocent residents. Many Chinese shops were closed, especially those large shops, such as domestic companies such as Sincere Goods, Yong'an, Daxin and other domestic companies, hardware stores, automobile stores, etc. Most of the seized companies and enterprises have wooden signs with the words "Management of the Military Collection Department" on them, and the entrances of banks and pawnshops have wooden signs with the words "Management of Financial Classes." The Japanese army stole 950,000 quintals of rice from Hong Kong and 800,000 quintals as military rations, causing a serious food shortage in Hong Kong.

In addition to looting property, many drunken Japanese soldiers often went out in the middle of the night to look for women. The women were hiding everywhere. Many women were humiliated, and some were even gang-raped by several enemy soldiers. On the nights after the Japanese army held a "ceremony to enter the city", many women were so frightened that they ran around on the roofs of three- and four-story buildings, and the tiles cracked when they were trampled. Some of the women said they were not afraid of bombs and machine guns, because if they ran into them, they would simply die. What they feared most was the flashlight of the enemy soldiers and the frightening knocking at the door.

The Japanese invading forces also indiscriminately killed innocent residents. Treat the lives of Chinese people as grass mustard. On Blue Pool Road, not far from Happy Valley, a family of eight was killed. On Queen's Road West, an elderly woman was shot and killed by Japanese soldiers on the spot because she could not understand Japanese and wanted to go east through a sentry post. In the bay, a young man accidentally intruded into the so-called military area, and the Japanese soldiers came up and killed him with a bayonet. On Yuanzhou Street in Shenshui, a woman carried a child on her back to buy groceries on the street, and when she returned, she caught martial law. Seeing the building where he believed, he couldn't walk over. Her eldest son, about eight or nine years old, wanted to cross the road to meet his mother. The woman waved her hand and did not let her son come. Unexpectedly, the mother and son were all shot and killed by the Japanese army. ……

During the Japanese rule. Hong Kong's industries have withered, and only criminal industries such as gambling and drug abuse have developed. There are casinos from the busiest Queen's Road to the most remote corners. The notorious big casinos include "Rongsheng Company", "Liangli Company" and so on. There is often a Japanese flag at the entrance of the casino. A slogan that reads, "Get rich, please come in." Some people are ringing bells, and some are entertained by prostitutes. This was 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 names of their secret organizations in the past, such as "Eighteen Sons" and "Yuechengtang". In February 1944, after the commander of the Southern Branch Dispatch Army, Kuichi Tanaka, became the governor of Hong Kong, he even openly encouraged gambling. Gambling was used to pay for military expenses, and after that, there were many casinos, which became even more smoky. In addition, the Japanese army encouraged drug use. The enemy's Governor's Department has a drug trafficking agency, Yuzhen Company. Tobacco was brought in by plane from Rehe, and smoking houses were set up to allow smokers to buy cigarettes with licenses.

But now, not only has the "American incident" broken out for a long time, but Japan has not begun to actually invade the South Seas, and even Takashi Sakai, who was supposed to be sent to attack Hong Kong, can only watch Hong Kong salivate and dare not move a little.

……

"Baga, the whole of Guangdong is in our hands, why don't you dare to fight Hong Kong?"

Takashi Sakai, a lieutenant general in the Japanese Army, had just succeeded Toshiyoshi Ando, who had recently been removed from his post, as commander of the 23rd Army stationed in Guangzhou. In 1928, Takashi Sakai single-handedly planned and created the "Jinan Massacre", and was promoted to Zhongzuo, and after returning to China, he served as the head of the China Division of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters, and became a well-known China expert, and was promoted to Dazuo in 1932, and in August 1934, he was transferred to the chief of staff of the Japanese garrison in Tianjin. During this period, Takashi Sakai actively participated in various conspiracies to invade North China. He took advantage of the murder of Hu Enpu, the traitor president of Tianjin's "Guoquan Bao," and Bai Yuhuan, the director of another traitor "Zhen Bao," and teamed up with Yi Echengya, director of the Kwantung Army's special service in Shanhaiguan, and Takahashitan, deputy military attache of the Japanese Legation in China, to seize the opportunity to expand the incident, intending to seize more rights and interests in North China with the Japanese army's armed backing. However, in the face of the Japanese army's advance at all levels, the Nationalist Government did not want to have a conflict with the Japanese side, constantly compromised and retreated, and finally accepted the Japanese side's demands and reached the "Hemei Agreement".

The "He-Mei Agreement" was ostensibly signed by He Yingqin and Umezu Mijiro, but Takashi Sakai was one of the main promoters, and this agreement forced the Kuomintang to abolish its party headquarters in Hebei and Pingjin, withdraw the Northeast Army, the Central Army, and the Third Regiment of the Military Police stationed in Hebei, Yu Xuezhong and Zhang Tingge, Jiang Xiaoxian, Ding Chang, Zeng Kuoqing, He Yifei and other Kuomintang generals were dismissed, and even the Blue Coat Society and Fuxing Society, which were organized within the Kuomintang, were nominally banned.

According to rumors, Takashi Sakai was the drafter of the "He-Mei Agreement", and when the "He-Mei Agreement" was signed, Takashi Sakai was responsible for serving tea. Perhaps it is precisely because of this grievance that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, He Yingqin must repay his hatred and instruct the Chinese military tribunal to execute Takashi Sakai.

However, before the defeat of Japan, Sakai Takato was still alive and well, not only living well, but also rising step by step. The commander of the brigade was at least the commander of the brigade, and he also participated in the Battle of Lanfeng with Kenji Dohihara, who was the commander of his division at the time. After that, he successively served as the head of the Japanese secret service in Zhangjiakou, the director of the liaison department of the Japanese cabinet "Xingya Yuan" in Mongolia and Xinjiang, and the military attached to the army stationed in Mongolia, and was promoted to lieutenant general. Engaged in economic aggression and continuously transported plundered resources back to China, and now, it has become a candidate sitting in Guangdong.

It's just that although the official has been promoted and the power is greater, Takashi Sakai can't find the wanton feeling he had before.

"The Chinese Air Force has flown over Hong Kong many times, and its intention to protect Hong Kong is extremely obvious, and if we insist on attacking Hong Kong, at most we will take the New Territories and Kowloon, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take Hong Kong Island." The new chief of staff of the 23rd Army, Governor Tada, knew Sakai Takashi very well about Takashi Sakai's ideas, but he also knew very well the current comparison of the strength of the Chinese and Japanese armies. Japan organized the Southern Army, and a large number of troops originally in Siberia moved south, making their troops in the south extremely sufficient in an instant, and even the 23rd Army, which was not in the Southern Army sequence, was much more relaxed. But that doesn't mean they can do whatever they want...... It is not difficult to win Hong Kong, but Victoria Bay has been.

"Not only the Chinese Air Force," said Deputy Chief of Staff Tadamichi Kuribayashi, "according to the latest information, the reorganized Chinese Navy fleet has appeared off the coast of Guangdong, and its purpose is self-evident, that is, to protect Hong Kong." ”

"The Chinese Navy?" It's okay not to mention this, but when I mention this, Takashi Sakai can't help but get angry. So where is the Chinese Navy? That's obviously their Japanese ship, right? But the Japanese Ministry of Military and Civil Affairs used the money saved to hand over to the navy and built powerful warships, but with cheap Chinese......Chinese they will definitely pay the price for their actions! Take its toll! ”

"According to intelligence, the British in Hong Kong's Continental Brigade, Western Brigade, and other units are also ready for battle. These troops, together with the so-called Volunteers organized by the residents of Hong Kong, had a total strength of more than 20,000 troops, and they had ample weapons from the British. "So, if we want to take Hong Kong, we have to be prepared to bear a huge price." ”

"Why do the Chinese want to protect Hong Kong? It's not their territory. Takashi Sakai said angrily.

"The Chinese started entering Myanmar more than a year ago and now have huge interests there, especially their Air Force Commander-in-Chief Qin Wei, who owns a huge copper mine in Myanmar, which now supplies China and Britain, especially Britain, with a considerable amount of ore every day, and he certainly wants to protect his interests." But if they wanted to protect their interests in Burma, they naturally had to make an exchange to protect the interests of the British in Hong Kong. Moreover, Hong Kong's residents are mainly Chinese, and the Chinese can better win the hearts and minds of Hong Kong's people, which is extremely beneficial for them to recover this colony from the British after the war. Governor Tada replied.

"Then according to what you mean, we can only watch Hong Kong drool?" Takashi Sakai looked at his two chiefs of staff dissatisfied, "This is not like the demeanor of imperial soldiers, let alone the demeanor of you staff officers. ”

"Before I came to Canton, I also thought about fighting the Chinese army to wash away the shame that our imperial army had suffered here. But after we actually arrived in Guangzhou, I could not find our absolute superiority over the Chinese army. Aviation hardly dared to go to war; The navy was threatened by the Chinese Air Force and did not dare to approach the coast of Guangdong; And the army ......" Governor Tada let out a sigh: "Commander, if you really want to attack Hong Kong, in that narrow battlefield, our soldiers will only become the target of the Chinese Air Force!" All they need is a napalm to wipe out our squad! ”

"Napalm......" Takashi Sakai opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of miserable white teeth, "It's hateful!" If it weren't for the overall situation, I would definitely let the Chinese taste the weapons they invented! ”

"Commander?" Governor Tada and Awabayashi Tadamichi were startled at the same time, they glanced at each other, and immediately noticed the look of surprise on each other's faces: "What do you mean by this......?" ”

"It's not interesting." Takashi Sakai sneered, "Weapons that can be made by Chinese, of course we in the Great Japanese Empire can also get them, but ...... Our main enemy at the moment is not yet the Chinese, so it is not their turn to taste this weapon. But one day, they won't be able to run. (To be continued......)
