The Japanese defense forces stationed in Hong Kong have a brigade, which belongs to the 23rd Army of the Japanese Southern Branch. The commander of the army, Hiichi Tanaka, is stationed in Guangzhou.

He also took over as the governor of Hong Kong.

On the premise of fully occupying Guangzhou, Tanaka sent a brigade to Hong Kong of 900 million, which was enough to control Hong Kong firmly.

I never thought that there would be a large army coming to secretly attack Hong Kong by boat.

Feng Yuntian brought a whole regiment of troops, and after more than a year of building himself, he has experienced the top ace of bloody battles in southwestern Yunnan.

With the current terrifying combat capabilities of the sealed regiment, even the Japanese A-level troops are not enough.

Nothing meaning!

The closure group secretly landed from the Sai Kung District of Hong Kong and successfully gained a foothold in Hong Kong in less than 20 days.

Even if the Japanese army transferred a corps from Guangzhou and rushed to Hong Kong to support the battle, it was useless.

The Seizure Group, which was alone, was not a lonely wolf, but rather a tiger jumping into a flock of sheep, turning the whole of Hong Kong upside down.

As the war gradually came to an end, the Japanese army's fighting will began to become increasingly depressed.

Faced with the devil's outrageous combat power, the Japanese army finally had no choice but to give up the encirclement and suppression, and let the Feng regiment cause trouble in various parts of Hong Kong.

The time came early to August 1945.

China launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese army on the battlefield. The US military has taken the initiative in the Pacific battlefield, and the war has forced Japan to make its final stubborn resistance.

In order to reduce casualties, the US military completed an unprecedented skill while forcing the Japanese soldiers.

Throwing an atomic bomb at Hiroshima, Japan, Nagasaki.

One day later.

The Soviet army declared war on Japan and launched an attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army, which was entrenched in northeast China, giving the Japanese Kwantung Army an annihilated strike.

At the end of his life, the Japanese government announced an unconditional surrender on August 15.

On the third day after Japan's surrender, MacArthur, the commander of the Far ASEAN Army, issued the "No. 1 Surrender Order" under the authorization of President Truman.

All Japanese troops in the Republic of China (except Manchuria), Taiwan, and Vietnam north of 16 degrees north latitude should surrender to Chairman Chiang.

Hong Kong is located north of 16 degrees north latitude, and during the war, the Guangzhou Operations Zone, which belongs to the Chinese War Theater, was part of the combat zone under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Second Front Army.

All this shows.

The Japanese troops stationed in Hong Kong should surrender to the Chinese army, and it is natural for China to take back Hong Kong.

At this time, Hong Kong had been banned from the group, and most areas were controlled by the group. Jiang Guangtou felt that it was a foregone conclusion to recover Hong Kong.

Immediately ordered the commander of the Second Front Army, Zhang Fakui, to assemble the New First Army and the Thirteenth Army to the Bao'an area near Hong Kong.

Help the closure group that has landed on the island so that Hong Kong can be successfully accepted.

As a result, something went wrong on August 18th.

British Prime Minister Churchill secretly sent a telegram to US President Truman, claiming that Hong Kong is British territory and that Britain cannot agree to China's explanation of "Hong Kong is in China" made by the "Order No. 1" of August 15.

He asked him to instruct MacArthur to order the Japanese troops in Hong Kong, who had to surrender to the British commander when the British navy arrived.

The Kuomintang army that has landed on the island is not allowed to accept the surrender of the Japanese army.

At the same time, British Ambassador to Chongqing Xue Mu also sent a message to Wu Guozhen to turn to Chiang Kai-shek.

We insist that Britain should accept Japan's surrender on "Hong Kong, the British territory."

No. 19.

Xue Mu once again handed over a memorandum to Wu Guozhen and replayed clichés such as "Hong Kong is not in China".

At the same time, he was notified that Truman had called Churchill and agreed to the UK accept the surrender of the Japanese troops in Hong Kong.

The British government hopes that Chairman Chiang, a soldier, will understand the situation of Britain. Britain was once humiliated by the Japanese army in Hong Kong and must directly take Hong Kong back from the Japanese army in order to "clean up the shame."

The UK welcomed Chiang Kai-shek as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater and sent representatives to attend the British ceremony of accepting the Japanese surrender in Hong Kong.

When Jiang Guangtou learned about this, he was very angry.

On the same day on the 19th, the Kuomintang authorities reiterated that China enjoyed sovereignty over Hong Kong and had the right to recover the place. The representative of Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yuntian, accepted the surrender of the Japanese army on behalf of the Chinese government.

On August 21, Chiang Kai-shek called Truman for the second time.

He asked the United States to clarify its position and hoped to modify the order of the Allied Commander. In order to express his sincerity, Chiang Kai-shek also proposed another plan.

The Japanese army stationed in Hong Kong surrendered to the Chinese representative Feng Yuntian, and as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater, he asked the representatives of the United States and Britain to attend the surrender ceremony.

After the ceremony.

He could further authorize the United Kingdom to send troops to Hong Kong to complete the 99-year lease period.

Unfortunately, the US president at this time was not Roosevelt. He had already replaced Truman who was more inclined to the UK, which meant that the United States that had always supported him no longer cared for him.

After receiving the urgent case, Truman immediately called Chiang Kai-shek back.

He said he had notified the British side three days ago that he agreed to the British army's surrender in Hong Kong and claimed it completely from the standpoint of British colonialism.

Britain's sovereignty in Hong Kong is "unquestionable".

Chiang Kai-shek would definitely not want to do this, but in order to gain more advantages in the subsequent civil war, he could not offend his "American father".

For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek had to fight again and lower the standards again.

August 23.

Chiang Kai-shek called Truman for the third time, agreeing to make some concessions and no longer insisting that Feng Yuntian accepts the Japanese surrender alone in Hong Kong.

He proposed to authorize a British officer to represent the Chinese government in Hong Kong to accept surrender in the name of the supreme commander of the Chinese theater.

At the same time, a Chinese officer and a US officer were appointed as representative members to attend the surrender ceremony.

pity……

Even though Chiang Kai-shek said this to this extent, the British government still did not appreciate it. He controlled the Chinese civil war and did not dare to offend them.

In fact, Bullow Jiang really dared not offend them.

Feng Yuntian, who had already changed into new military uniforms in Hong Kong, was ready to accept the Japanese surrender, had to continue waiting for orders indefinitely.

On August 27, Chiang Kai-shek called Truman for the fourth time.

This time, it was no longer a request, but a request from the US government to mediate so that the British government could give him some face.

Jiang Guangtou made a tactful statement: This is his "last concession". In any case, I hope President Truman can "give support".

If Jiang Guangtou’s order is issued, Long Zhan will be able to return early in Hong Kong in minutes.

However, Jiang Baitou didn't have the courage to do so. He still needed the United States to provide him with strategic supplies, otherwise he would not have the confidence to win the red armed forces.

The British were sent to represent the Chinese government to surrender. After the surrender, the British army took over Hong Kong and continued to complete the 199-year lease agreement.

The request made by Chiang Kai-shek is really so low that it cannot be lower.

It's really just a matter of saving face.

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek insisted on not giving in, the British Foreign Ministry had actually achieved his goal.

So I decided to make a little formal compromise.

It was proposed that Feng Yuntian would represent the British government and also represent the bald general of the Chinese theater commander, and accept the surrender of the Japanese army in dual identities.

Later, Feng Yuntian was able to serve as the new governor of Hong Kong as a British aristocrat in Hong Kong.

Feng Yuntian has the status of a British aristocratic status and is also the commander of the Chinese army. He has a unique innate advantage and is a perfect combination of the two parties.

Feng Yuntian was able to represent the British surrender and serve as the new governor of Hong Kong.

Isabella must have done a lot of effort behind her back.

but.

The British government made an additional request, that is, the Chinese army that had already landed on the island would seal the regiment and would need to withdraw from Hong Kong and be taken over by the British army.

Although Chiang Kai-shek was reluctant to accept this plan from the British, he reluctantly agreed.

Compared with the one he proposed before, the British accepted the surrender of the Japanese army on behalf of the Chinese government and Feng Yuntian accepted the surrender of the Japanese army on behalf of the British, which is obviously a little better.

At least Feng Yuntian is a real Chinese, and Jiang Guangtou feels that he looks better in terms of face.

Even though this method is in name only for China, it finally ended the Sino-British dispute over the right to be demoted.

The time is August 30th.

The British government sent troops to take over Hong Kong, led by the British Major General Shawssel, and took the cruiser Svesour. Under the cover of the naval aviation, two destroyers and two submarines were escorted into Victoria Harbor.

The civil servant representative sent by Chiang Kai-shek sent documents to Feng Yuntian.

Letter:

The Chinese government agreed to the British side to accept the formal surrender of the Japanese troops stationed in Hong Kong, and China assisted the British army in handling matters related to the surrender.

The British government agreed to the following agreement:

1. From the date of establishment of the agreement and to August 15, 1947, the Kuomintang army can enter Hong Kong from Guangzhou, board the ship from Hong Kong, and head north to the front line of the civil war to fight against the red forces that have already gained a foothold.

2. Some of the houses in Kowloon Tong can be rented to the Kuomintang government as a temporary barracks of the Kuomintang troops traveling north of the Hong Kong port;
