Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lieutenant General Paul Garvin, the commander of the Japanese 37th Division and the Governor of Hong Kong, spoke with ¡ô, feeling aggrieved because he knew that the other party was one level lower than him in both rank and position.  That guy Yokota has a completely equal posture, and he can't do anything about it. Who wants him to be a member of the naval system? If he doesn't, what can he do to him?

    After waiting for more than three minutes, Lieutenant General Pauli's heart was boiling with anger. He was thinking about the war on the front line. He wanted to drop the phone right away and let this coaxing rear admiral eat him hard.  Damn, it's the devil Tang Qiuli who suffers, but he can't act on his own initiative and really let the army troops rush into the city of Hong Kong. The first person to be unlucky is himself!

    Just when Lieutenant General Pauli was almost going crazy, Major General Yokota came over to answer the phone and said, "Your Majesty, Commander of the Division Pauli, do you have anything urgent to do?" There was a hint of contempt in his tone, without the slightest respect.

    Lieutenant General Pauli was so angry that he almost yelled, "Why are you pretending to be a grandson? It's nothing important. I can call you at three or four o'clock in the morning. You can't miss the sound of gunfire in front of you. This is not intentional."  What's wrong with me?

    Lieutenant General Pauli suppressed this tone, but there was no false politeness in his tone, and he said straightforwardly: "Captain Yokota, the imperial army's defensive position facing Guangzhou was attacked by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in two consecutive lines.  The troops have broken through. Now, in the name of the supreme military commander of the Empire of Japan in Hong Kong, I order the Yokota detachment to immediately send some troops to assist the Jiangcun Brigade to block the breakthrough and block the ** Division troops!"

    On the other end of the phone, Major General Yokota said in great surprise: "Commander Pauli Division, are you kidding me? The first and second lines of defense contain the most elite troops of your 37th Division, more than fifteen thousand.  How could the strong defense be broken through by the Chinese troops in less than two hours? I wonder if your Excellency, the division commander, was too nervous and took the false battle reports from individual officers on the front line as the truth!  "

    After saying these words, Rear Admiral Yokota had a sarcastic sneer on his lips. In fact, he had already known the news that the two positions of the 23rd Brigade were broken through by the Japanese Division troops, and, under the command of the Pauli Division Commander  Before the call was made, the troops had been ordered to prepare for the best possible battle. The Marine Corps was not as vulnerable as the Army. The troops of the long-famous China Devil Tang Qiuli would be in front of their positions.  It was a bloody blow!

    The reason why I say this is to deliberately disgust you. Don¡¯t think you don¡¯t know about the shameful things this money-grubbing guy Paul Gavin did during his occupation of Hong Kong for more than two months. Such a person is not worthy at all.  As a general of the Japanese Empire, he is a disgrace to the Japanese people!

    On the other end of the phone, Lieutenant General Pauli was almost stunned with anger. What time had it been? The troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli had already arrived at the door of his house. This guy was still making sarcastic remarks here. How could there be such a thing in the Imperial Navy?  People are simply unreasonable, but now is not the time for quarreling, nor is it the occasion for verbal disputes.

    Lieutenant General Pauli swallowed the curse deep in his throat and said in a stiff tone: "Captain Yokota, you must be clear that according to the order of the general staff of the base camp, your troops are under my command. You must execute the order immediately, otherwise  , I will send you to a military court for resisting the execution of military orders!"

    On the other end of the phone, Rear Admiral Yokota's mouth became more sarcastic, and he said tepidly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I'm sorry to accept your order. You and I are both soldiers. This sudden attack by the Chinese troops is therefore  A large number of tanks serve as an assault force. If my troops leave the solidly fortified fortifications and are exposed in the wild, they will suffer a lot of casualties from the Chinese tanks. By then, the third line of defense will also be lost due to insufficient troops. Therefore,  My tactic is to stick to the existing defense line and rely on fortifications to weaken the enemy's armored assault force! "

    For this reason, Lieutenant General Pauli understood that he could not command Yokota. This was a typical case of refusing to save him. He said in a cold tone: "Captain Yokota, because you refuse to carry out my order, once  If Hong Kong falls, I will go to the base camp and ask you to be shot to make up for your mistakes. By then, you will not even have the chance to have a caesarean section to apologize!"

    At this point, the two sides had turned their heads. Major General Yokota snorted coldly and responded: "Huh, it's up to you!" After saying that, before Lieutenant General Pauli hung up the phone, he put down the phone with a "bah" sound.

    Lieutenant General Pauli, whose face was ashen, was so angry that he walked around the room several times and picked up a phone. "Is this the artillery commander, Major General Shanpeng? I order your artillery group to use the 500 meters in front of the third position as the starting point."  Target, once the tanks of the ** Division are discovered, immediately implement all-round artillery coverage and destroy all enemy tank units! Immediately establish contact with Captain Yokota, but do not tell him that our artillery fire is??area!  "

    Major General Yamatomo was shocked and said hurriedly, Your Excellency, the division commander, this is too dangerous, the shells will fall on the Yokota detachment's position!  "

    Lieutenant General Pauli said coldly: "This is not a problem you should worry about, execute the order!"

    Putting down the phone, Lieutenant General Pauli walked around the room twice again, picked up a red phone, "Commander Hamada, I order that all targets scheduled to be detonated immediately enter the detonation preparation stage and wait for me.  Order!"

    Lieutenant General Pauli has already planned to burn everything. Once Hong Kong is in danger of being lost, he will blow up Hong Kong to pieces and let the Pearl of the Orient perish with him. All his words to Major General Yokota are angry words. If Hong Kong falls, he and himself will be destroyed.  Even Yokota can't run away, Hong Kong is in a desperate situation, there is no way out by sea and air, Lieutenant General Poly has no confidence in whether he can defend Hong Kong.

    At about 3:30 in the morning on July 21, the first attack wave of the ** Division appeared in front of the Japanese third defensive position. If Major General Yokota reported what he saw at this time to the 37th  Major General Yamatomo, the division's artillery commander, will be followed by overwhelming Japanese artillery fire. Then, the tank troops of the ** division will suffer heavy losses.

    However, Major General Yokota did not want the Army to intervene. He wanted the losers in the Army to see how the Navy fought. He had his own way to deal with the tanks of the China Army. In the traffic trench of the third position, Yokota's detachment  More than a thousand soldiers, with their backbones bare, their heads wrapped in white cloth, and their bodies tied with trousers, stared at the approaching tanks with blood-red eyes. This was a group of soldiers who could sacrifice their lives for His Majesty the Emperor at any time.  Fanatic.

    In the small town at the foot of Wutong Mountain, at the Hong Kong Campaign Headquarters of the ** Division, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, after sorting out the progress of each unit, sent it to the division commander Tang Qiuli.

    Tang Qiuli looked at it and said with some suspicion: "The troops of the first attack wave have approached the last line of defense of the Japanese army. Why did the Japanese artillery not show up? He ordered Battelle and the tank troops to adopt an evacuation formation to prevent Japanese artillery fire.  Kill!"

    After finishing speaking, he seemed a little worried and said: "Yuhe, the only thing that can pose a threat to our tank troops is the Japanese artillery. Has there been no news from Shanhu yet?"

    Zhao Yuhe shook his head, and Tang Qiuli's lips moved. He wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say. In his heart, he was really worried about Shan Hu. Blowing up the Japanese artillery was a temporarily added task.  , the difficulty is great, and I don¡¯t know how Shanhu and the others are doing now?

    Shan Hu, who Tang Qiuli was thinking about, was sitting in front of a Japanese military vehicle with a plaster flag hanging on the front. In the carriage, there were more than thirty soldiers from the special operations detachment. He was leading a group of people.  , like crazy, rushed towards the discovered Japanese artillery position. Similar to this group, Shanhu sent a total of seven teams, each responsible for a Japanese artillery position!

    Shan Hu is wearing the uniform of a Japanese army major, with a white armband with the word "gendarme" written on his left arm. Chief of Staff Qi Hanzhi is dressed as a Japanese military police captain. With this tiger skin, he can drive a car and show off in Hong Kong.  During the rampage on the streets, the Japanese proficiency of the special forces team members was enough to pass them off as real without worrying about revealing any flaws.

    Looking at the rapidly falling buildings on both sides of the road, Shan Hu asked in a sullen voice: "Han Zhi, are you sure that the Japs only have these seven artillery positions? If you miss one, it will be a big trouble!"

    Qi Hanzhi said hesitantly: "Detachment leader, after receiving the order from the division commander, I ordered all infiltration troops to mobilize all connections to search for the exact location of the Japanese artillery positions. As you know, from receiving the order to the beginning of the general offensive, but  In seven or eight hours, this is all I have found so far.¡±

    Shan Hu wanted to ask something else, but Qi Hanzhi suddenly said nervously: "Detachment leader, we have reached the target location, it's just ahead!"

    Shan Hu raised his head and cursed in his mind: "The little devil is so cunning and very good at choosing places. If it weren't for the soldiers of the Guangzhou Garrison District and the local connections in Hong Kong, within seven or eight hours, even if he ran away and broke his leg,  It¡¯s not necessarily possible to find the Japs¡¯ artillery positions.¡±

    This is a park with high-rise buildings on three sides. Only facing Guangzhou is a row of low-rise houses. In Hong Kong, where land is at a premium, it is not easy to find such an open space. Moreover, the park is far from the front line, but  More than ten kilometers away, the little Japanese set up an artillery position here, which can be considered unique and creative.

    The car stopped in front of a barbed wire fence. The sudden appearance of the car aroused the alert of the Japanese security forces. The searchlight in front of the park gate immediately shone over. Shan Hu adjusted his Japanese uniform, took a command knife, jumped out of the car, and then  More than 30 team members quickly organized their team, followed Shanhu, and walked towards the park gate without squinting.?.
