Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Facing the fresh morning breeze of southern Guangdong, the convoy continued to move forward. Tang Qiuli's mood at the moment was quite high-spirited. In total, he had been fighting for ten years, from the Northeast to the South Pacific, whether he was entering Japan or not.  Fighting out of mainland China, seizing the Indochina Peninsula, or entering from Britain and cutting off most of India were not as exciting as at this moment. Tang Qiuli knew that this should be related to future generations, the one who made all China into  , all related to exciting moments.

    The efficiency of the Li Division troops is absolutely efficient. The battle to break through the Japanese army positions outside Hong Kong has just ended. The engineering troops, driving forklifts and bulldozers, have already built a wide dirt road on the former battlefield. The dirt road,  From time to time, dozens of military trucks, loaded with supplies, rolled up the dust and rumbled past. The logistics supply line connecting Guangzhou to Hong Kong has been able to flow smoothly.

    After advancing for more than ten kilometers, a sea of ??tanks appeared in front of us. As far as the eye could see, there were tank formations that could not be seen. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe turned around from his seat and said: "Division Commander, we  We have arrived at the position of Commander Battle's armored forces. If we go further, we will enter the battlefield! "

    Tang Qiuli pointed at the rows of tank columns and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, Battelle is so arrogant. He parked more than a thousand tanks in the open air without any disguise at all.  There is a sense of defiance on the ground. If the Japanese army comes with hundreds of bombers, Battelle's tank troops will turn into piles of scrap metal in less than an hour! "

    Zhao Yuhe heard that the teacher was criticizing Battelle. There was an indescribable doting in his tone, as if he was praising his younger brother. He smiled and replied: "Sir."  , I have informed Commander Battle of your arrival at the front line!¡±

    Just as he was talking, an armored command vehicle drove towards him like lightning. At that speed, Tang Qiuli asked himself that he couldn't reach it. The armored command vehicle braked beautifully, stopped steadily in front of the convoy, and rolled up.  There was a burst of smoke, and a major general officer and several guards jumped out of the car. It was Battelle who came to greet him.

    Tang Qiuli got out of the car with a smile. Battelle trotted forward, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the division commander, Commander of the Armored Forces Battelle is commanding the troops to stand by. Please give instructions from the division commander!"

    Tang Qiuli looked at Battle with kind eyes. He was not bad, he was in good spirits, and there was no pride after victory on his face. He asked: "Battle, how are the losses of the troops? Can we be pulled up at any time?  ?¡±

    Battelle replied loudly: "Reporting to the division commander, the losses of the troops were not large. A total of twenty-three tanks were destroyed, of which twelve were urgently repaired on the battlefield. The fuel and ammunition of all tanks have been replenished and they are ready to go into battle at any time!"  "

    Before Tang Qiuli could speak, Battelle took a step closer and complained in a low voice: "Brother, why did you come to the front line? It's very dangerous here. The infantry troops are fighting in the streets!"

    Tang Qiuli smiled, stretched out his hand to tidy up Battle's combat uniform, and patted some dust off his body, and said, "What do I have to worry about? You have more than a thousand tanks, and you can't protect my safety, Battle."  , the tank is parked under the sun without any camouflage, is it not afraid of the Japanese air attack? "

    A mischievous light flashed in Battle's eyes. At this moment, Zhao Yuhe, who was behind Tang Qiuli, saw this Du Li Division's youngest major general officer who had experienced the baptism of the European battlefield, the commander of the armored torrent,  The childlike innocence in my heart may only be revealed in front of teachers!

    Battle said with a smile: "Brother, I am worried that the Japs' plane will not come. I have already made a plan with Le Yiqin. My tank troops will be parked blatantly outside the city. His first batch of eight  A fighter regiment is on standby at the takeoff line. If the Japs' bombers really come for an air raid, the aviation force will be able to win the battle. You don't know, Le Yiqin is full of worries. "

    "When you were on the phone with me, you told me that you were biased. To attack Hong Kong, you would send infantry and tank troops and forget about his Southern Flying Group, which has more than a thousand aircraft. If you don't want to do anything,  We can only wait for other troops to fight!"

    Tang Qiuli lit up Battle and said with a helpless smile, "You, there's nothing you can't do if you hook up with that militant Le Yiqin! However, it seems that you and Le Yiqin are  All the work was in vain. The main strength of the Japanese aviation force in front of me is on the Pacific battlefield. The Japanese army can't take care of the Hong Kong battlefield. My brother, it's not bad. I just drove the tank into the city of Hong Kong without thinking!"

    Battelle was very unconvinced. How could he say it? He had been fighting on the European battlefield for more than three years. He had experienced scenes bigger than this countless times.The "Lightning" Armored Assault Division of ?? is a well-known ace unit in the German army. Why did my brother see it with old eyes? Just when he was about to make a fool of himself, he said a few words of defense. Director of the Communication Department of the ??li division  Chen Feng's Guppy car stopped suddenly beside the two people.

    Chen Feng jumped down from the Gup car and said, "Report to the division commander that I received a telegram from Commander Le Yiqin of the Southern Aviation Group!" Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "What an evil person! It's said that Cao Cao has arrived.  Cao Cao is here!"

    Tang Qiuli received the telegram, "Commander, the Southern Flying Group of our aviation force was ordered to block Hong Kong's airspace. At around 7:30 this morning, three Japanese military transport planes were intercepted in the airspace near Huoshizhou Island in the waters of Dapeng Bay.  In order to force it to Guangzhou Airport, according to the captured prisoners, on board the plane was Lieutenant General Paul Garvin, commander of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army and Governor of Hong Kong of the Japanese Army, and his family members were also among them. The commander of the Southern Flying Group of the Aviation Force  Official Music Yiqin!¡±

    Tang Qiuli's face glowed with joy. He handed the telegram to Zhao Yuhe and said: "Yuhe, good news. Le Yiqin caught a big fish. This guy is lucky enough. The ground troops are fighting."  Fighting to the death, one street after another, one house at a time, gnawing at the Japanese army¡¯s barricades, it¡¯s a good thing for him to get a big deal!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe was also very excited and said: "Commander, this means that the Battle of Hong Kong is over. However, this is the first time I have seen the Japanese commander who escaped from the battle. This Paul Gavin can be regarded as having opened a Japanese army."  A first for a senior military commander!¡±

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "We can't be optimistic yet. Paul Gavin must have escaped from the battlefield without telling the Japanese troops. He ordered Yu Deshui, Director of the Intelligence Department, and Shen Jun, Director of the Investigation Department, to rush to Guangzhou immediately to interrogate Paul Gavin.  , prompting him to issue an order to stop resistance to the Japanese defense forces in Hong Kong. In that case, our troops will suffer a lot less casualties, and Hong Kong will be protected from greater damage. He told Yu Deshui and Shen Jun,  Use all methods to pry open Paulie Gavin¡¯s mouth!¡±

    Just as Tang Qiuli had judged, Hong Kong's more than 30,000 Japanese defense forces did not know that their top commander, Paul Garvin Division Commander, had already taken a plane to escape from Hong Kong like a beautiful golden cicada.  And fell into the hands of the Duli Division troops. They are still following the orders of the division headquarters and relying on barricade fortifications to resist desperately, and are engaged in a desperate battle with the Duli Division troops that have penetrated deep into the Japanese defense!

    Every house and every street is the focus of competition. Urban street fighting is boring, monotonous and cruel. Heavy weapons such as aircraft, tanks, and artillery have lost their due role. Urban street fighting is more  , is a test of many factors such as the tenacious spirit, fighting will and individual combat capabilities of the soldiers of an army.

    The five main infantry brigades of the Du Li Division and the Sulu Mobile Corps that attacked Hong Kong boldly interspersed and cut the Japanese army's defense system into pieces. A large battlefield in Hong Kong turned into countless small battlefields of Du Li.  In every battlefield, fierce battles are taking place.

    This kind of fighting style of the Li Division was unexpected by the Japanese commander. They built the defense line according to normal urban defense warfare, and were prepared to rely on urban street fighting to gradually tire out and consume the strength of the Li Division.  Whether they were waiting for reinforcements or to reflect the Japanese emperor's fighting will, the Japanese troops in Hong Kong, at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, did not want to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Chinese soldiers they looked down upon.

    Major General Kobayashi Koichi, the division chief of staff, who was entrusted by Lieutenant General Paul Garvin to take over the command of the 37th Division, did not know the purpose of the division commander. He only knew that he could finally fully command a division.  Although the division's troops had lost more than half of their strength, he didn't even know that he was just a scapegoat for the division commander, Mr. Pauli, who was already a prisoner in Guangzhou.

    As for the plan to blow up all important targets in Hong Kong and turn Hong Kong into a dead city full of ruins, Lieutenant General Paul Garvin himself probably thought it was too dirty and crazy. At the headquarters of the 37th Division, there were only Lieutenant General Paul Garvin and  Lieutenant Colonel Hamada, the head of the Special High School Course, knew about this plan, and even Kobayashi, the chief of staff, had no idea about it.

    Therefore, after Hamada Nakasa's plan failed and Hamada Nakasa was killed by members of the Du Li Division's special operations detachment during the execution of the plan, the Japanese army no longer knew about this crazy plan, and Hong Kong was able to  Avoid being destroyed by the Japanese army, however, the battle is still going on across the entire Hong Kong battlefield.

    By about 7 o'clock in the evening on July 21, more than two-thirds of the New Territories, Lantau Island, and Hong Kong Island had fallen into the hands of the Duli Division. The Japanese defensive troops were divided and surrounded.  In areas of different sizes, after the Japanese army has solved the outer positions of Hong Kong, the troops of the five infantry brigades in the Guangzhou Security Area have joined the street fighting. The destruction of the Japanese army is only a matter of time.

    &nbspAccording to the changes in battlefield conditions, Tang Qiuli adjusted the battle deployment in a timely manner.
