Beginning on December 23, 1941, the Japanese army concentrated the North Island heavy artillery force, the flying team and Vice Admiral Niimi's 2nd Naval Fleet - the Chinese Fleet to cooperate with the infantry to carry out large-scale offensive battles;

After the Japanese army's large-scale general offensive began, the British army successively lost defense lines such as Fortress Hill, Cameron Gorge, Majixian Gorge, and Leighton Hill. The few remaining troops were basically reduced to some positions in Victoria Peak and the Stanley Peninsula area.

.

At this time, Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyouji, the personnel director of the Japanese Army Ministry, was unable to fully occupy the entire Hong Kong Island in a short period of time because of the poor command of the 23rd Army.

Therefore, he was also sent by the base camp to personally supervise the battle.

It has been two days since he arrived in Kowloon occupied by the Japanese army.

However, in the past two days, neither the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, nor the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Sano Tadayoshi, wanted to see him, and both were avoiding him.

Because Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyouji, the personnel director of the Japanese Army Ministry, is a guy with a bad temper and a guy who likes to control others, especially if he wants to control the entire 23rd Army.

Therefore, the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, and the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Sano Tadayoshi, also disliked this guy very much.

It was also because of this that the two of them sent several elite troops to the North Point, which had been fully occupied, and conducted a carpet-like investigation. However, they did not find the whereabouts of Liu Feiyang's large-caliber heavy artillery group, and the whereabouts of the large-caliber heavy artillery group commanded by Liu Feiyang.

trace.

Therefore, he also blew up the commander of the 229th Regiment, Tokio Motoki, and the commander of the 230th Regiment, Nagayama Kozo, and the fact that the two regiments that were bombed were heavy artillery groups that suffered heavy casualties.

Put it aside.

However, during the day of the next day, the Japanese aircraft group was still dispatched and carried out multiple air raids on residential areas and the city center of Hong Kong Island. They also dispatched many reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance everywhere.

Detect the whereabouts of those large-caliber heavy artillery groups,

Unfortunately, nothing was found. Apart from the bombing, which killed many civilians in the city center,

Therefore, Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyouji, the personnel director of the Japanese Army Ministry, also immediately arrived at the frontline headquarters where the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, and the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Sano Tadayoshi, were located.

"Hey! Haven't you found out the hiding place of those British heavy artillery groups yet?"

"Is this how our reconnaissance force and aviation force are so ineffective?"

As soon as he entered the combat headquarters, Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyouji, the personnel director of the Army Ministry, immediately spoke eloquently.

"Well! We are already doing our best to conduct reconnaissance, but unfortunately we did not find those large-caliber heavy artillery groups that went into battle at night. This is also very strange! So I have issued the most stringent combat instructions!"

In response to the unkind inquiry from Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyoji, the Director of Personnel of the Army Ministry, the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, responded immediately.

However, since their status levels are almost the same, there is no distinction between them.

"This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Of course, even if there is no way to find out, we cannot give up the general offensive we are about to launch!"

"Since we cannot fully deter those British troops from surrendering after the landing operation, and the effect of persuading them to surrender is not very good, then we must use force to make all these British troops surrender!"

"End the war here as soon as possible, because our empire's southward battle plan has already begun, and the journey will be smoother and invincible!"

"We have already occupied many overseas colonies, so we cannot lose to other troops, so I decided that on the afternoon of the 25th, which is Christmas Day, we will launch a full-scale general offensive, relying on our 23rd Army

The flying team and all the artillery launched concentrated bombing and artillery bombardments at the warehouses, Wan Chai Gorge, Gough Hill, Cheqi Hill, and Western Gaoshan where the British troops were guarding!"

"We must comprehensively capture the entire Hong Kong Island on Christmas Day. As for tomorrow's Christmas Eve, we also need to give those British troops who are thinking of ways to hold dances and parties a surprise bombardment on Christmas Eve to make them happy this year.

I had a very pleasant Christmas Eve!”

"We also need to let them know what the consequences will be if they fight against our Imperial Army!"

"Our imperial army's persuasion to surrender is not something we can refuse just because we refuse!"

"And the consequences of refusal are not something that these vulnerable British troops can bear!"

When the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, and the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Sano Tadayoshi, greeted the Director of Personnel of the Army Ministry, Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyouji,

Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyouji, the personnel director of the Army Ministry, also expressed his true opinions quickly and straight to the point.

Of course it was said to be an opinion, but actually it was in the tone of a command.

So after hearing this, both the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, and the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Sano Tadayoshi, disliked each other's commanding tone.

It feels like the other person is taller than the other person, while they are shorter than the other person.

"Then just follow the instructions of your Excellency the Lieutenant General!"

But even so, the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, had no objection.

Although he didn't like the other party's condescending attitude, he still agreed with the combat suggestions put forward by the other party.

Because it was similar to what he thought and coincided with each other.

"Since the Commander has no objections, I have no objections either and will thoroughly implement the Lieutenant General's suggestions!"

After seeing that the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, had no objection, the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Sano Tadayoshi, immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Let's decide like this! In addition, we need to prepare an additional aviation force to bomb the heavy artillery group of the British army that has not yet been found. Although you have not confirmed to me whether it is the British army's heavy artillery group,

Caliber heavy artillery group!"

"But except for the British army, there are no other troops here, so I am very sure that it was the British army that did it!"

"As for the British reinforcements, I don't agree very much! Because if the British reinforcements come to support, then our fleet will definitely be able to find it, and we want to transport more than a hundred large-caliber heavy artillery

If we go ashore, there will be even greater commotion, so it is simply impossible to conceal the reconnaissance of our intelligence agents and spies, as well as the reconnaissance of our aviation force!"

"It is even more impossible to escape the discovery and interception of our fleet!"

"So it can only be the trump card of the British troops trapped by us. But judging from the recent series of general attacks we have launched, I feel that they have very few heavy weapons and equipment left, so I am also curious about that night

Artillery bombardment of our 229th Regiment and 230th Regiment, are there really so many large-caliber heavy artillery attacks?"

"Could it be that these two regiments were too useless, so they were bombed by a small number of British heavy artillery, and then they lied about it!"

"Otherwise, if there really were so many large-caliber heavy artillery, our imperial army's carpet search, the aviation force's comprehensive aerial reconnaissance, and when our general offensive continued today, we did not see any again.

The appearance of such a huge British army's large-caliber heavy artillery force!"

"So about this matter, it's better for people to investigate the people of these two alliances!"

After getting the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, and the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Sano Tadayoshi, to agree to his combat order, the Director of Personnel of the Army Ministry, Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyouji, also continued.

In this regard, the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, and the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Sano Tadayoshi, also looked at each other, trying to get each other's opinions.

"Well! Follow the advice of His Majesty the Lieutenant General!"

Finally, the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, responded decisively after seeing the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Sano Tadayoshi, with a cocky look in his eyes.

"Sigh! Good!"

"This is a good commander of our empire!"

Seeing the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, who always acted according to his own wishes, Lieutenant General Tominaga Kyouji, the Director of Personnel of the Army Ministry, suddenly felt very happy and praised him.

“Thank you for your appreciation!”

Commander Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai responded shamelessly.
