Invincible urban management

Hong Kong Island, Central, Victoria City

Accompanied by the slightly noisy military music, the Mi Zi flag in front of the Governor's Mansion slowly fell, and was replaced by a red flag with sickle and hammer.

With a dejected and decadent expression on his face, Sir Belle, the Governor of Hong Kong, handed over his seal and ribbon to General Peng Dehuai.

——After a month of lengthy tug-of-war, the almost mentally debilitating battle for Hong Kong has finally come to an end.

The most optimistic plan before the war failed to come true after all, and the Red Army finally had to use "weapons of mass destruction" on Hong Kong Island.

——The day and night bombardment of rockets and cannons from the Kowloon Peninsula, as well as the repeated bombing of the Red Army Flying Team, have never been able to crush the fighting spirit of the British.The tug-of-war on Lantau Island is also endless.And the underground party organization that sneaked into Hong Kong also failed to successfully instigate an uprising on Hong Kong Island: Hong Kong Island at this moment gathers a large number of rich people, officials and compradors who have fled from all over China. The most reactionary group of people with class attributes, all of them gritted their teeth with hatred for the Red Army, and their determination to fight was stronger than that of the British!The Hong Kong underground party smuggled weapons to the island twice, preparing to organize an armed uprising... They were all destroyed by these "class enemies" with a keen sense of smell and a bunch of dog legs.

Therefore, the commanders and fighters of the Red Army who were still looking forward to "peaceful liberation" were finally worn out by these enemies who were as smelly and hard as latrine stones-especially when Comrade Xiaoping led a regiment to attack the four places alone. One hundred kilometers, after recovering the French Concession in Guangzhou Bay in only two days... stimulated by the friendly military record.The frontline headquarters finally made up their minds and gathered four modified unmanned remote control aircraft, each carrying a half-ton Soman gas bomb.Take off from Kai Tak Airport and go straight to Stanley and Repulse Bay Naval Base on the south coast of Hong Kong Island...

So, accompanied by a slight cracking sound and overwhelming poisonous fog, [-] British navy and army soldiers and the same number of Chinese logistics workers, coolie peddlers, and prostitutes went to see God together in extreme pain.At the same time, thousands of asylum residents in the Repulse Bay Hotel were also buried.

And the British destroyers and gunboats that have been active on Lingdingyang during this period have also been reduced to ghost ships with only ghosts left.

The next day, another fleet of planes dropped dyeing agents on the Tai Tam Reservoir on Hong Kong Island.At the same time, leaflets were scattered in the urban area, claiming that they had poisoned the tap water.Immediately afterwards, several graphite fiber bombs were reimbursed for the North Point Power Plant on Hong Kong Island... So far.The water and electricity supply in the urban area of ​​Hong Kong was cut off, and the residents became more and more panicked. The tragedies that happened in Repulse Bay and Stanley made everyone see the determination of the Red Army to capture Hong Kong regardless of everything.

As for the leaflets dropped by the Red Army planes.Even more threateningly said.If the British troops stationed in Hong Kong do not surrender again, the Red Army will use poison gas to turn the city into a ghost town... thus becoming the last straw that crushes the psychological endurance of the British Hong Kong authorities.

——Although those "high-ranking Chinese" who speak poor English are still clamoring that "Chinese and thieves are not equal to each other", and Prime Minister Baldwin in London also sent a telegram to Hong Kong to cheer up the Governor of Hong Kong Sir Belle and encourage the defenders to resist to the end: "Every day you fight in Hong Kong is a great contribution to the United Kingdom. Please persevere until the last Hong Kong person dies..." But the morale of the British troops stationed in Hong Kong has collapsed.

On September 9, Sir Belle held the last military meeting at the Governor's Mansion.The officers believed that after enduring a series of losses in battles for outlying strongholds, and the gas havoc at Repulse Bay and Stanley.At present, there are less than 3 defensive troops left on Hong Kong Island, and they are still dominated by Indians and Chinese volunteers.Although the ammunition and food reserves on the island are sufficient, the water source cannot be guaranteed, and morale has dropped to an unbearable level.If the fight continues, it is difficult to say whether there will be a widespread collapse and defection.

Most importantly, if the Chinese Bolsheviks really launched a full-scale poison gas campaign against Hong Kong, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong would not be able to come up with any effective countermeasures.

In the afternoon of the same day, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong sent envoys for peace to the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army on the north shore of Victoria Bay. In the evening, the fighting between the two sides basically stopped.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, some of the most stubborn and reactionary Hong Kong residents quietly boarded the passenger ship, weighed anchor and went to sea, and went to Singapore and other places in the Southeast Asia.And more reactionaries who couldn't afford the boat ticket hanged themselves from the beam, took poison and cut their stomachs, or threw themselves into the sea to die... What's more, they killed the whole family first, then poured gasoline on their bodies, sat on the He lit a match in the main room and set himself and the house on fire.

Of course, the vast majority of ordinary Hong Kong people accepted the return of this land to the motherland calmly and apprehensively.And those progressive workers and peasants who had been infiltrated and instigated by the underground party rushed to make red flags and slogan banners overnight, preparing to welcome the arrival of the Red Army of Workers and Peasants.

On September 9, after the advance team of the Red Army took control of various key points in the urban area, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong officially held a surrender ceremony at the Governor's Mansion.Mr. Governor of Hong Kong sadly handed over the seal and ribbon, and the two colonels handed over their pistols and sabers-so far, the Battle of Hong Kong basically ended.

Immediately afterwards, the central government dispatched a large number of Special Forces fighters to Hong Kong Island to purge and clean up all kinds of counter-revolutionaries, and expropriated various antiques, curios and precious metal assets. I am familiar with the road.

When everything was settled, Jin Qina and the traversers took armored vehicles and Shi Shiran set foot on the streets of Hong Kong Island—just a simple inspection and wandering, as for raiding the house and digging the cellar to search for gold, silver, precious metals and valuables , Naturally, the Party Central Committee sent someone to take care of it.

Generally speaking, the street scene in Hong Kong in the 30s is very ordinary, not much different from Guangzhou in this era, and even far inferior to the great Shanghai in this year-not to mention the International Convention and Exhibition Center. From Central to Admiralty, there is not even a decent skyscraper.The coast of Causeway Bay is not as grand as the Shili Yangchang on the Bund in Shanghai.And now, after the ravages of war, every shop is closed.Even more dilapidated.After watching it for a short time, everyone took a few more photos and felt very bored.Turned to other topics.

"...I heard that in the upcoming central government, the Party Central Committee in Guangzhou plans to make you the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference?" Ma Tong joked to Jin Qina with a smile, "...after the founding of the People's Republic of China, you will no longer be the vice chairman, but It is the well-known and authentic Chairman Jin, or Chairman Aixinjueluo!"

"...Hey, it's not the president of the country. It's not a big name... Different presidents have different gold content!"

Jin Qina curled her lips calmly, "...Chairman of the National Political Consultative Conference. To put it bluntly, it is a gold-lettered signboard to recruit the remnants of the evil. It is just right to match me as the imperial family of the former Qing Dynasty... I heard that if Puyi is willing to give up If righteousness returns to obedience, let him be the vice chairman!"

"...Where is Soong Ching Ling, the mother of the country?" Lin Shenhe, who had been listening to the radio with earphones, interrupted suddenly, "...I thought she would be in charge of the CPPCC."

"...She is the chairman of the National People's Congress. The gold content is higher than that of me, the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference." Jin Qina replied casually.At the same time, I changed the subject, "... Is there any new news on the radio? About the Soviet army going south and our army occupying Hong Kong... er... I mean the enemy's side."

"...Wuhan's Chiang Kai-shek regime, of course, is still the same set of anti-Russian and anti-red clichés on the radio. The Japanese and puppet radio stations in Beijing are even more strange. The normal program broadcast has been interrupted since the morning before yesterday." Major Lin Shenhe was a little confused He replied, "...First, they played "Jasmine" over and over again, and then changed to playing the Japanese national anthem "Kimi no Dai" repeatedly... Maybe their studio was hit by a bomb, and they couldn't find an announcer for a while. Yes—I heard that members of Wang Yaqiao's anti-traitor group were very active in the north, killing many Japanese spies and big traitors..."

"...Eh? Is that so? But our party doesn't seem to advocate political assassination?" Ma Tong asked slightly surprised.

"... Alas. This is indeed true, but if it is a 'vigorous folk patriotic group' that is acting spontaneously. The Party Central Committee has no reason to stop it in order to save the lives of those ethnic scum." Jin Qina hit He yawned, "...For me, I really hope that Wang Yaqiao will kill more celebrities, so as not to bring these traitors and gentle scum into the National People's Congress or the CPPCC meeting in the future, and keep them in front of me all day long." Dangling around, under the slogan of serving the country and the people, thinking about how to be a slave to foreigners all day long... Oh, it really makes people sick just thinking about it!"

"...No way, this is politics, the holiest and dirtiest thing in the world." Lin Shenhe whistled and said with a sigh.

Then, a sudden heavy news interrupted their previous relaxed chat.

"... Ladies and gentlemen, there is news from the underground party in Beijing that something big has happened in the north this time." Just as everyone was discussing, Wang Qiu suddenly leaned over from the passenger seat, with an anxious expression on his face. With complex expressions of confusion, confusion, and worry, he said to them, "...we have saved the world from a Nanjing Massacre, but the Japanese devils who have never changed their minds have created another even more terrible Beijing massacre." massacre……"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In early September, Beijing, the headquarters of Japan's "Northern China Expeditionary Force" and the residence of Wang Jingwei's puppet national government.

At this very moment, this well-organized and majestic ancient capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties is falling into an unprecedentedly tragic and bloody storm.

The sound of gunfire, wailing and the sound of swords piercing flesh resounded in every narrow and winding alley.Thick and pungent gurgling blood slowly flowed on every piece of dirty ground.And the diffuse black smoke and jumping flames almost completely submerged this ancient capital city.

"...Taijun! Taijun don't want it! I am a great good citizen—ah——"

"...Kill it! The imperial army is going to kill you hateful Chinese people! The blood debt must be paid with blood!"

"...Taijun! I am not a lowly Han Nikan, but a noble species of the Eight Banners under Zhenglan! Don't get me wrong—ah—"

"...Cut, it's not the same inferior Chinese people. They should all die early to make room for the noble Yamato nation!"

"...Who dares to trespass on the palace? Japanese? Even the Japanese can't mess around! My son is the emperor of Manchuria... bang—"

"...My lord! My lord! Wake up, my lord! Don't scare the little one—help me. The imperial army killed people—ah—"

"...Yaoxi, the Manchu girl with flowers is better than the Han girl with little feet! My master wants to get a princess today to try something new!"

"... General Sugiyama Moto, what do you mean? Your army officers and soldiers actually rushed into the National Government office. If they disagreed with each other, they would kill them! The family members of government officials were also wantonly abused, and finally even set fire to it... Is this how the Empire of Japan treats your allies?"

"...Wang Jun, most of the empire's territory is now reduced to scorched earth, and the resentment in the officers and soldiers' chests can no longer be suppressed. I really can't restrain the soldiers anymore. You can take your wife to hide in the cellar of the headquarters for a while! Empire There will still be places for you in the future..."

"...Help! You can't do this to me! I'm a friend of the Empire of Japan! I'm going to the embassy! I have an American passport... BOOM—"

"...Bah, you bastard Chinese bastard! But this suit is quite elegant. It's a pity that one shot broke it...you, you, and you guys. Go search for anything valuable on him, and then Throw it in the gutter. Oh, and don't forget to burn his passport..."

"...Is this little Japanese devil crazy or did he kill him? He actually ran to Iron Lion Alley. He even burned down the house of the old traitor Wang Jingwei? Hehehe. It's really a dog bite a dog... Oh, no, the devil is here The side is coming! Brothers, retreat quickly!"

"...Damn it! I was first scolded by the villagers for so long as a traitor, but now these little devils eat us and use ours, and they still want our lives! I can't take it anymore Now! Brothers, pick up your guns and fight with these devils!"

"...Stop! This is Yenching University funded by the United States! Extraterritoriality! You are violating the treaty... bang—"

"... Yankees who take advantage of the fire! The imperial army of the Imperial Japanese Empire is trying to calculate their hatred for seizing the territory of the imperial country in the South Pacific with you!"

"... mustard gas special bombs are ready and will be fired intensively at Peking University, Tsinghua University, Yenching University in one hour... We need the most brutal massacre to deter the Chinese Communist Army in the south. Make them understand that they are offending the empire What price will Huangwei pay!"

"...Bageya Road! Which idiot Red Deer set fire to Dongjiaomin Lane? Don't you know that is the embassy area?"

"... General, our army is completely out of control. We can only let them 'free move' in the city..."

"...Be careful when searching the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, don't damage those valuable things..."

……

All in all, in a purgatory atmosphere of blood and fire, millions of Beijing citizens groaned and wailed under the butcher knife of the Japanese invaders.

To talk about the cause and effect of the Beijing massacre, at least it has to be traced back to mid-August - at that time, He Yingqin commanded the last three divisions in his hands, and was besieged in Huai'an, Jiangsu, with no way out, low morale, and scattered troops. .Moreover, He Yingqin, who heard that Japan was reduced to ruins, was extremely shaken in his will... Therefore, the underground party traffic officer offered a "personal gift" of 100 million US dollars, and sent him the price of "study abroad" Afterwards, He Yingqin quickly announced his surrender and ordered all the troops under the National Government to surrender to the Red Army.

As a result, with the defection and escape of a large number of puppet troops, the Japanese officers and soldiers who were stranded on the front line as the supervisory team soon suffered bad luck-either they woke up and found that they had been surrounded, or they were eager to behave anyway. Directly under the black hand...

As a result, the battlefield to the north of the Huaihe River once again collapsed across the board. As the backbone, the Sixth Division of Kumamoto and several newly-built reserve brigades were unable to stand up under the internal and external attack, and had to be defeated for thousands of miles... It was all based on Thanks to luck and perseverance, the Kumamoto Sixth Division successfully escaped from the chaotic Huaibei battlefield and retreated all the way to Shandong. On the way of retreating in despair, they learned the bad news that their hometown, Kumamoto, was tragically bombed!

At the end of August, in view of the fact that the Soviet army's large-scale southward march was a foregone conclusion, Manchuria and North Korea were all in jeopardy. The Japanese base camp hesitated again and again, and had to continue to draw troops from the Guannei battlefield. For this reason, they did not hesitate to abandon large areas of occupied Shandong and Hebei... The resentful officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division were ordered to continue to retreat to Beijing to rest and prepare to join the war against the Soviet Red Army in the north after replenishing their soldiers and ordnance.

——Betrayal, defeat, destruction of hometown, uncertainty about the life and death of family members, bleak prospects for war... All these suppressed the spirits of the officers and soldiers of the Kumamoto Sixth Division to the brink of explosion.And after the division retreated to Beijing, it was bombed by some "unidentified armed men" on the street. Several low-level officers were killed, which completely detonated the ferocity of the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division!

Under such circumstances, the Sixth Division's search for assassins in Beijing quickly turned into a looting, and the looting turned into a massacre... Immediately afterwards, at the headquarters of the "Northern China Dispatch Army" With the help of some radical staff officers and the secret hints of some bigwigs from the local military department, the rest of the Japanese troops gathered around Beijing also joined in, turning this ancient capital of Ming and Qing Dynasties into a bloody purgatory ...
