Almost at the same time as the capture of those places in Stanley Shek O, the Japanese transports had already cleared the shore defense guns of the planes and warships, and went around Tuen Mun and Sham Tseng, and almost at about the same time, rushed to land on the beach, and launched an attack on Hong Kong in depth in the direction of Canton.

It is already difficult for the British army to evacuate at this moment, even if they are completely surrounded, and if they want to leave, there is little hope.

It was useless for Churchill to be in a hurry, he could only count on the arrival of the advance army in time.

Henry soon found Liu Chengcheng, who was drinking tea, and told him about the situation in Hong Kong without hesitation.

When Liu Chengcheng heard this, he was angry at first, and then his tone eased up, and he said with a little helplessness: "Mr. Ambassador Henry, you also know that it takes more than 1,500 kilometers from Shanghai to Guangzhou, and it is 2,000 kilometers to Hong Kong, no matter how fast our army marches, it will not be able to reach it in a day, even if it is a 24-hour uninterrupted march, at best it is 1,000 kilometers, and it will be fast in two days, I am also in a hurry, but you see ......."

Henry also knew that this was the truth, but he didn't know that the helicopters of the advance army had already overwhelmed Shanghai and flew towards Guangzhou, and it was estimated that it would be there in a few hours, after all, the flight was more than 200 kilometers in one hour, and no matter what, it would be the end of the hour.

"Hey......"

Henry sighed, helpless. He can't ask the advance captain to fly his wings too much, that would be too unrealistic.

After a quick conversation, Henry had no choice but to go back to his life. He had no choice.

Looking at the departing Henry, Liu Yucheng sneered secretly, and then asked how long it would take for the group of recruits who were about to arrive at the training base.

The training of recruits will be what he is most concerned about, and this will be able to buy most of the food without being shipped from Mongolia, and can be collected on the spot. However, the area controlled by the advance army was still rich in rice production, and there was no shortage of food. Again. Isn't there still a concession, where part of the imported grain can also be obtained.

So, he put all his energy into recruiting and training new recruits. He can't let the expeditionary troops run out of troops, how can there be a source of replenishment for consumption, right?

Besides, his calculations are so far-reaching, and it is even more inappropriate to have fewer soldiers.

He was destined to watch the fire from the other side. He didn't care whether Hong Kong had fallen or not, he waited for the Japanese army to occupy Hong Kong, and then he would send troops, and let the world open their eyes.

Just as he was busy dispatching the recruited recruits to follow the movement of the army and arrange the supply of supplies in the two rooms, the situation in Hong Kong suddenly changed.

Macau. Originally, on the edge of the main inland channel to the sea, the Portuguese generals were worried that the Japanese army would attack Macao, so they ordered to blockade the vicinity of the harbor with mines, and also mined the waterways near Macao.

It can happen that a Japanese light destroyer had to escort the huge battleship close to Hong Kong and carry out an all-out bombardment of the coastal defenses, so it approached the waters in the direction of Macao when it was moving.

Macau's generals have repeatedly stated that they remain neutral. They will not participate in any fighting, and the Japanese troops are also requested not to approach Macao. Avoid misfire and cause war. At the same time, tell the Japanese that they have blocked the harbor and block the entry and exit of all ships with pre-torpedoes, so that the Japanese can rest assured that their warships will not be dispatched.

Schematic diagram of the Japanese army having reached safe waters. Supposedly, there should be no problem, but the light destroyer, which was close to the sea, miraculously crashed into a torpedo. With a bang, a column of water rose from the bow of the ship, and in the firelight, a hole was blown up in the front side of the battleship. and tilt slowly.

As soon as the Japanese saw that they were on fire, they first questioned Portugal's intentions, and then directly turned their guns, and the guns of several warships fired in unison, and the shells rained down on those coastal defense artillery positions on the edge of Macao, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the prelude to the attack on Macao began.

The battleships fired in unison, and the fighters, which had already been prepared, left the aircraft carrier one after another, and while the Portuguese troops in Macao were still trying to explain, they began to bombard the traffic of the airport and the border defense line in Macau.

The speed at which the planes arrived forced the battleships to shell for a few minutes, and when the Portuguese understood that this was a deliberate attack, they realized that the torpedo incident was only a reason to attack.

Indeed, this is a deliberate attack by the Japanese army, they will no longer care about a few more enemies, they must clear the threat on the route to meet the British aircraft of Tojo, even if the Portuguese are neutral, they can not rest assured, only by destroying the warships in the harbor, they can be sure. As for whether to start a war with many countries, they are ready to make the British pay the price if they don't want to fight to the death.

By the time Portugal understood that this was a deliberate attack, it was too late.

Pieces of planes rushed into the port, shells whizzed down on the port and the surrounding security facilities, and before the Portuguese army could react, it was already chaotic, and those planes had no chance to take off, they were bombed directly at the airport, and the airport was reduced to ruins in just ten minutes.

The Japanese army knew that there were mines in the harbor passage of the Lun Road, but they would not attack from the port, they already had a route of attack, and their troops were divided into three routes, all the way from Hong Kong Bay in the northeast to Beacon Hill, all the way from Hengqin Town in the south, and Tanzhou Town, and launched a general attack.

The troop carriers, which had been waiting on the sea for a long time, began to land during the shelling, and when the planes bombed, they were already on the ground, and the mudflats scattered in the bombardment were quickly surrounded by Macao.

The madness of the Japanese army shocked everyone who got the news. They couldn't understand why the Japanese army was so boxy and did not hesitate to fight against several countries.

The advance army is their mortal enemy, even if they occupy Hong Kong and Macao, will they still be able to resist the attack of the advance army? Although the advance force is beautiful and warships, it doesn't need warships to attack Hong Kong and Macao, does it?

In addition to being shocked, they still watched the fire from the other side, and the United States made remarks with others, especially the United States, which is steadily transporting oil, building facilities, and mobilizing fleets in Hawaii, ready to stretch out its feet and get a piece of the pie at any time.

They are looking at the oil fields, especially in British-controlled Sumatra, where oil production is not low.

In the eyes of the United States, the more happy the mad dog of Japan is, the better, and if the surrounding water is disturbed, they will have a chance. At this time, they will do nothing but accumulate strength and recruit a large number of troops, just wait, arm Hawaii to the teeth, and the warships will be gathered.

Liu Chengcheng also received the news that he had a dark hall there, so as soon as the war began, he received a telegram.

He didn't understand the madness of the Japanese army, but he was right in the middle, otherwise, there would be no reason for him to enter Macao.

Therefore, he ordered again to divide Qu Jungang's troops into two groups, one close to Macao and the other close to Hong Kong, and at the same time, transfer all the 2,000 transport planes and 1,000 fighters used for defense in Mongolia and Siberia to catch up with Qu Jungang who was marching by land, and rush directly to the target to prevent the Japanese from attacking too fast and not attacking this side, and then let them take away the wealth.

Wherever in Hainan, trucks were speeding along the way, escorted by antiaircraft artillery, heading straight for Guangzhou. They mainly transported self-propelled artillery and amphibious tanks, as well as long-range artillery, plus bombs and oil drums needed for aircraft bombing.

Liu Chengcheng was not worried at all about the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong and regretted that it was difficult to attack. He believed that the air power of the advance force would surprise the world. At the same time, Dong Ku's idea of misleading the development direction of the aircraft in the world can be implemented.

The Portuguese army also launched a counterattack while his side was busy deploying. How can they be willing to die?

Although the combat effectiveness is not very strong, the Japanese attack is not so smooth, compared to Hong Kong, there is no faster Naqu, but because of the small area, the difficulty of the attack is slightly greater.

After the Japanese launched an attack on the Ao Men, they completely let go of their hands and feet, and while shelling, they sent minesweepers to clear the passage into the port of Macao under artillery fire.

The most depressing thing was the warships in the harbor, they were blocked in the harbor by the mines they had laid, and the smoke billowed everywhere when the Japanese planes deserved to be planted by you. It is only a matter of time before it is all destroyed.

However, even if they were able to leave the harbor, there were Japanese warships everywhere outside, and they would not have a chance to survive, and they would still go out of the harbor, but not just the location of the sunk, the others were the same, that is, they sank.

After the all-out attack, the Japanese army, with the assistance of aircraft, broke through the defense line by land in just one hour and launched an attack on the urban area of Hong Kong.

At this time, the British army in Hong Kong was already surrounded by regiments, and they had no chance to retreat except desperately resisting.

The commander of the garrison sent a telegram to the base camp, but Churchill was in a hurry and could not do anything, the best news was that the reinforcements were rushing to Guangzhou, and they would not be able to reach Guangzhou for another day and night, hoping that they would hold on and not give the Japanese army a success.

But the British generals here no longer have great confidence in holding on when there are no planes, most of the artillery is destroyed, and the forward positions are all lost. He knew that it was unrealistic to rely on the weapons in his hands to hold on until reinforcements arrived.

But he must insist, he has no way back, and if he does not stop the Japanese army's pro-Akin footsteps, he will be slaughtered like the Chinese in Nanjing. After all, he resisted, and surrendered without being pardoned for capital crimes.

Based on this, he issued an order to fight to the death, and he even visited the fortifications in the city of Hong Kong to encourage the soldiers to use the battle, and asked the soldiers to drive away the citizens who fled frantically, so that they did not block the defense, otherwise, they would be seized by the troops and killed by serious medicine.

The Japanese army didn't care what he thought, the Japanese army was going to plan to occupy Hong Kong today, take a day to take this place, and then plunder the oil stored here to encircle the property, as for whether the advance army was coming, they didn't have warships, and the Japanese really didn't care very much.
