Chapter 2506 Ignorance and fearlessness
"The activities of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independence Brigade have become more frequent, launching attacks in Sai Kung, Sha Tau Kok, Yuen Long and other places one after another!"
Shino Kuchishima looked solemn: "Yesterday, the No. 4 railway bridge at Waterloo Street in Kowloon was blasted and damaged by the Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade, causing serious difficulties in the transportation of our supplies.
This gang of desperadoes has established a large number of so-called base areas in the New Territories, Kowloon, Yuen Long and other places, constantly protecting so-called traders, attacking police stations, and even trying to blow up the airport!
This has caused serious interference to the empire’s rule over Hong Kong. By order of His Excellency General Isotani Rensuke!”
All the Japanese officers in the office stood up.
Shino Kuchishima announced the so-called order of Lieutenant General Isotani Rensuke, the governor of Hong Kong:
"Starting from now on, we will carry out a twenty-day raid in Hong Kong. We will carry out long-distance raids, zone-wide dragnets, and tug-of-war tactics to eliminate the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independent Brigades in the shortest possible time!"
"Hai!"
All the Japanese officers responded loudly.
However, it is hard to say whether the raids will be effective.
Since the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, there has been a number theory sweep, but the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independence Brigade has become stronger and stronger.
In Hong Kong alone, they have grown to more than 800 people.
An even more troublesome problem is that the Japanese military strength in Hong Kong is seriously insufficient.
Often there is more than enough will but not enough energy.
Sending out a thousand Japanese troops to carry out a sweep was already the limit of the Japanese military's power in Hong Kong.
Is there going to be a twenty-day sweep this time?
Isotani Rensuke was really angry.
But what about military strength?
I’m afraid all the troops in Hong Kong have been drained this time, right?
"Kuchijima-dono, can you make some suggestions to the Hong Kong Governor?" Habara Koichi said: "Leave some troops behind. After all, there are still big problems in public security."
Shino Kuchishima knew what he was worried about.
Meng Shaoyuan!
This person is in Hong Kong!
"Are you worried about Meng Shaoyuan?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the door.
A lieutenant came in.
"Ah, it's Lieutenant Colonel Tojo."
As soon as he saw this person, Shino Kuchishima immediately introduced him: "This is His Excellency Tojo Masashiba who was transferred from Japan."
Hahara Koichi has also heard of this person.
A senior agent of the Japanese intelligence agency and a former student of Hong Kong Governor Rensuke Isotani.
Koichi Hahara said: "Yes, Major Tojo, we have basically confirmed that Meng Shaoyuan is operating in Hong Kong. The appearance of this person will cause us great trouble."
Tojo Masashi smiled coldly.
Koichi Hahara?
A defeated general!
This person, Doihara Kenji and Kage Sasakiaki both valued him very much, but he hardly achieved any decent victory in Shanghai.
After Sadaaki Kagesa lost power, Koichi Hahara was also implicated and was put in charge of a secret service. He was transferred to Hong Kong and became an ordinary intelligence worker.
Tojo Masashiba didn't take this person seriously at all: "Commander Hahara, you seem to be too afraid of Meng Shaoyuan, right?
When he was in Shanghai, he could call the shots, but this is Hong Kong, the imperial Hong Kong!
He can't do whatever he wants here, and this place will become his burial place!"
Koichi Hahara knows these colleagues from China very well.
Their mentality is almost the same.
Meng Shaoyuan had two very resounding nicknames:
The public enemy of the empire, the most powerful agent on the surface!
This is a humiliation for colleagues in Japan.
Many people, once they reach the front line, will never forget to look for opportunities to defeat Meng Shaoyuan!
It's very simple, as long as you defeat him, you will be the strongest agent on the surface!
I'm afraid Tojo Masashiba is also like this.
Another point is that he is Isoya Rensuke's man.
As for Isotani Rensuke, he had always been at odds with Kotaro Oue, the commander of the Hong Kong Military Police.
Isotani Rensuke was somewhat at odds with other senior Japanese commanders.
Although Isotani Rensuke was a classmate of the notorious Seishiro Itagaki and Kenji Doihara, what was different from them was that he advocated not expanding the war and especially admired the founding father of China.
This has always been criticized by senior Japanese military officers...
In addition, this person's military talents are also very limited.
When Rensuke Isotani was the lieutenant general commander of the Japanese Tenth Division, his army was almost wiped out in Taierzhuang, Shandong.
Thanks to Itagaki Seishiro, he broke through Tang Enbo's 70,000-strong army and rescued Isotani Rensuke.
Tang Enbo was almost shot for this.
Isotani Rensuke, who was later transferred to the Kwantung Army Chief of Staff, was dismissed because of his ineffective fighting in the Battle of Nomonkan, which led to the annihilation of the Japanese 23rd Division.
Because of repeated defeats, he was ridiculed by many colleagues.
Kotaro Oue is one of them.
Originally, he had always believed that he would take over the position of the first governor of Hong Kong, Japan.
But unexpectedly, the defeated general Rensuke Isotani was chosen.
This made Kotaro Oue angry.
Although I haven't gone to the point of confronting him yet, at least I can't swallow this feeling in my heart.
Of course Isotani Rensuke knew it well.
Tojo Masashiba is just as clear.
So, it’s time to do something to save the teacher’s reputation.
Koichi Hahara tried his best to keep his voice as calm as possible: "Yes, I am a little afraid of Meng Shaoyuan in my heart. I have failed countless times, but I have also gained experience countless times.
Although the Hong Kong and Kowloon Independence Brigade has been carrying out harassment operations against Hong Kong in the past, this time it is a little different. This is too similar to Meng Shaoyuan's method. He has always done this when he was in Shanghai.
Deliberately frequently creating chaos, and then taking the opportunity to carry out his conspiracy. Considering that this person is in Hong Kong, I think this is still a trap he deliberately set in order to divert troops and make us focus on one thing and lose another."
Tojo Masashi sneered: "So, do you think the Governor of Hong Kong fell into the enemy's conspiracy?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Koichi Hahara was shocked.
"Isn't it?" Tojo Masashiba said coldly: "The raid was a plan formulated by the empire to target the rioters after entering Hong Kong, and it has nothing to do with Meng Shaoyuan.
Lieutenant Colonel Hahara, if you are really afraid of Meng Shaoyuan, it doesn't matter, I can help you deal with this person. The enemy has retreated across the board under the power of my sweep, what role can Meng Shaoyuan play?"
Koichi Hahara didn't know what to say.
These people really don't know what kind of terrifying enemy they face.
They are ignorant, so they are fearless.
Only when you really suffer a big loss will you regret it.
But by that time, it was too late.
"That's enough. That's it for the questions about Meng Shaoyuan."
Tojo Masashiba's face darkened: "According to the order of the Governor of Hong Kong, the raids will begin today. The security of Hong Kong will be temporarily taken care of by myself and Your Excellency Kuchijima.
Although our troops are insufficient, we rely on agents and police to maintain stability in Hong Kong. We are only responsible for twenty days!"
Twenty days?
