Age of Rebirth

The head of the No.30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army and the governor of Hong Kong, Lieutenant General Pauli Gavin, has reason to feel useless, sweeping across the Pacific Ocean, and beating the shit out of the Americans. How come the character who left had to put his tail between his legs and humbly pretend to be his third grandson when he got in front of this vicious Chinese devil?

This is not the only thing that makes Lieutenant General Pauli Gavin painful. The feeling of being controlled by the empire's lost land is really uncomfortable. Look at Hong Kong, the land of Maru, far away from the mainland. In the event of a war, reinforcements It's too late, and look again, all the necessities of life, including drinking water, are controlled by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops.

If one day, the devil of China is not happy, in a word, cut off all the blood vessels that supply Hong Kong's life, the governor himself will probably die of thirst and starvation, and there will be more than 4 imperial soldiers!

Thinking in another way, Lieutenant General Pauli Gavin himself would definitely do this. As for the millions of citizens in Hong Kong, it is not considered. Therefore, it is the best policy not to stimulate the Guangzhou Garrison of the Independent Division opposite. When the patrol team of the Imperial Army met the patrol team of the Guangzhou Garrison of the Independent Division on the border, the Lieutenant General also rigidly stipulated that his own soldiers must be greeted first, and moreover, they must have a smile on their faces!

Facing Guangzhou, Lieutenant General Pauli Gavin didn't even let go of too many troops, but hastily pulled a barbed wire fence so low that even a rabbit could jump over it effortlessly. is to display the dividing line.He wanted to make a gesture to show Major General Tian Shangxi, commander of the Guangzhou Garrison on the opposite side, that the troops stationed in Hong Kong of our Great Japanese Empire are definitely good Japanese who keep their own place! [

Of course, the work done behind the scenes is absolutely unambiguous. Lieutenant General Pauli Gavin, who graduated from the Tokyo Imperial Army University, has his own unique insights and methods for building a defense system.In the direction of Guangzhou in the new interface, three fortifications were concealed, and the three most powerful Marine Corps regiments, plus a brigade of the No. 30 Seventh Division, with more than [-] troops, were deployed in the On the defensive line, these troops will never show up in broad daylight.

And, second and third lines of defense.It was built in the middle of a densely populated residential area, the original residents.Under the bayonets of the imperial army, they all became hostages. Almost all their homes became firepower points and shelters. Every courtyard and every household was cleverly transformed into hidden fortifications. It is convenient to mobilize troops.

From Luohu Bridge on the border with Guangzhou, Xinwuling line.The areas around Weitian, Jintou Village, Fengyuan, Yuanling, and Tingjiao have all been turned into military restricted areas. Within the scope of the military restricted area, stricter military control measures are implemented than in other areas. All residents are registered in detail. , and implement the continuous sitting system.The careful registration of entry and exit, and the daily life of residents are all controlled by the Japanese military police.

Therefore, facing the New Territories in the direction of Guangzhou.It seems that the defense of the Japanese army is very weak, and they put on an undefended posture. In fact, all the killing moves of the No.30 Seventh Division of the Japanese army are like wolves in sheep's clothing, with sharp claws and fangs, all hidden , At the critical moment, he will take a fatal bite viciously!

In addition, Lieutenant General Paul Gavin still has such a crazy energy in his bones. He knows that he must prepare for the worst to guard the independent division, a tiger that may pounce at any time, even if it is the On the day when the devil Tang Qiuli's army attacked Hong Kong, he would never just capture Hong Kong without a fight and hand over a intact Hong Kong to the mortal enemy of the empire.

In his staff department, there is a detailed blasting plan. All important targets related to people's livelihood and economy in the three islands of Hong Kong are within the scope of destruction. Even the No.30 Seventh Division, all the jade is broken in Hong Kong, Hong Kong It will also turn into a ruin full of rubble, and millions of Hong Kong citizens will be buried together.

Regarding these, because the Japanese army strictly blocked the news, the intelligence agency of the independent division did not know a lot of information, or in other words, they did not want to go into details, but Tang Qiuli had already anticipated this and sent a special warfare detachment to Guangzhou in advance. The garrison troops sneaked into Hong Kong just to prevent the Japanese from doing such a crazy thing. However, he hadn't expected the information on the Japanese military restricted area yet!

As for Lieutenant General Polygavin's happiness, it comes from one of his hobbies. Your Excellency the Lieutenant General calls himself "elegant interest!" It is to collect all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, especially ancient Chinese cultural relics. He thinks the character is "noble and pure", holds an attitude of contempt, and thinks it is something vulgar, so don't talk about money with Lieutenant General Poly, otherwise, you will look ugly, of course, real money is not included!

After becoming the governor of the Empire of Japan in Hong Kong and a veritable emperor of the land, Lieutenant General Polygavin realized how wonderful his "elegant taste" is in Hong Kong, a place where wealthy businessmen gather in this Maru land.

Those Hong Kong businessmen who only care about making a fortune and changing the banner of the king at the head of the city know that Poly Lieutenant General has this "elegant interest", so they naturally understand it and do what he likes, if they want to keep their property and the high-society way of life , and continue to make money, you have to have a good relationship with the new governor of Hong Kong, and they have taken the initiative to come to the door. At the beginning, it was the same with the British population.

Therefore, it has only been more than two months since the occupation of Hong Kong. Lieutenant General Pauli Gavin’s small private warehouse is already full of cultural relics, antiques, calligraphy and paintings of famous people. Three generations can be spent, but they can't be spent. The only problem is how to transport it back to Japan safely without arousing the jealousy of colleagues.

Of course, Lieutenant General Bao Li is not a person who has an eye for money and has no principles. He is a general of the Great Japanese Empire first, and secondly, he is a person with "elegant taste". Good Hong Kong businessmen can safely and boldly operate their business. The imperial army will not infringe on their interests. master!

In this regard, Lieutenant General Poly feels at ease. On the one hand, he guards one side for the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor. On the other hand, he can satisfy his own preferences. It is the best of both worlds. , is in heaven!

Lieutenant General Pauly had planned to extend his tentacles to Guangzhou and set up a spy network in Guangzhou, but after careful consideration, he gave up this tempting idea. The counter-espionage agency of the Independent Division made many excellent spies in the empire I will not offend that China devil, let alone give Tang Qiuli an excuse to attack Hong Kong.

Therefore, for the large-scale mobilization of troops by the Independent Division and gathering around Hong Kong, Lieutenant General Baoli did not notice at all, let alone imagined that a battle against Hong Kong was about to begin.

On the afternoon of July [-]th, the five infantry brigades of the Independent Division that took part in the Battle of Hong Kong all arrived at the designated positions. The four brigades of the Guangzhou Garrison as the second-line attacking force were also on standby at the starting point of the attack. The only thing missing was, It was originally planned to arrive at the designated location on the [-]th. The four tank brigades of the armored force under the command of Battelle were still hiding in the Zengcheng area at this time, and the time to move in again had to wait until nightfall.

For this reason, the commander of the armored forces, Major General Battelle, sent a telegram to Tang Qiuli, the commander of the Hong Kong Campaign of the Independent Division, explaining the situation, "Master, due to the need to conceal our whereabouts, the time for our troops to move in again, It is [-]:[-] pm on the [-]th, and the time to arrive at the designated location will be around [-]:[-] pm on the [-]th, whether this arrangement is safe or not, please reply to the teacher!"

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe looked at the telegram with a hint of anxiety on his face, "Commander, the time the armored troops arrived at the designated location was four and a half hours later than originally planned. The time left for Commander Battelle's preparations, It is only three and a half hours, the division commander and the armored troops are too hasty to enter the battle, I suggest that the time of the general attack can be delayed by three hours and changed to [-] o'clock in the morning?"

Tang Qiuli said decisively: "No, the time for the general attack cannot be delayed. So many troops have already entered the attack position. If there is a delay of one minute, the danger of our campaign will be exposed. I believe Battelle, he will have a solution Yes, send him a copy of the entire attack plan to let him understand the urgency of the matter.”[

Zhao Yuhe still wanted to insist on his own opinion, but seeing the face of the teacher, he swallowed the words that came to his lips, and Tang Qiuli continued: "Yuhe, I have been thinking about a problem, the Japanese defensive position in Hong Kong, Facing the direction of Guangzhou, why only such a small number of troops were sent, there must be a problem, and it was also mentioned in the intelligence department's intelligence that it was a military restricted area set up by the Japanese army."

"So, regardless of whether the Japanese army is on this line, whether there are fortifications secretly arranged, I must use armored troops to tear apart the Japanese army's defense system. With the current level of equipment of the Japanese army, they do not have the ability to attack armored troops. When attacking the city, the intention of using the armored forces, Yuhe, send a telegram to Shanhu to find the artillery positions of the Japanese army, and wait for the opportunity to destroy them, so as to eliminate the threat to the armored forces!"

As night fell, the air was filled with the tense atmosphere of the imminent war. All the attacking troops of the Independent Division were ready. At ten o'clock that night, Battelle's armored troops, traveling all the way, finally arrived at the scheduled time on time. After arranging the troops, Battelle drove to the campaign headquarters, where he wanted to meet the division commander.
