Hi,
I have redirected your article "Japanese's invasion" to Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. The content is here, please add anything releveant to the above article. If you have enough material for a new articel I suggest Japanese invasion of Hong Kong would be a better title. Rich Farmbrough. 23:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
--Cut here-- The Battle of Hong Kong took place during the Pacific campaign of World War II. It began on December 8 1941 and ended on Christmas Day with the then British colony of Hong Kong under the control of Imperial Japan.
The Japanese attack began on the morning of December 8, 1941 (Hong Kong local time), less than eight hours after the Attack on Pearl Harbor. British, Canadian and Indian forces, supported by the Hong Kong Volunteer Defense Forces, resisted the Japanese invasion, commanded by Lieutenant General Sakai Takashi, to the best of their abilities, but were outnumbered.
The Japanese achieved air superiority on the first day of battle as three fighter and two amphibious planes, which were the only planes at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, were destroyed by Japanese bombers. The majority of the Allied naval forces were placed in the seas around Hong Kong, in an effort to achieve superiority in a potential naval battle, meaning the land forces on the mainland were surrounded and outnumbered. The British and their allies decided against holding the Sham Chun River, for it was too long and might cause many perils, and instead established most of its force along the Gin Drinkers' Line across the hills. On December 13, they retreated from the Gin Drinkers' Line and consequently from Kowloon under heavy aerial bombardment and artillery barrage. The Japanese forces crossed the harbour on December 18. Fierce fighting continued on Hong Kong Island and the only reservoir was lost. Canadian Winnipeg Grenadiers fought at the crucial Wong Nai Chong Gap that secured the passage between downtown and the secluded southern parts of the island.
Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong: On December 25 1941, British colonial officials headed by the Governor of Hong Kong, Mark Aitchison Young surrendered in person at the Japanese headquarters on the third floor of (the hotel) The Peninsula Hong Kong. Isogai Rensuke became the first Japanese governor of Hong Kong. This ushered in the three years and eight months of Imperial Japanese administration.
After the surrender, Japanese soldiers terrorised the local population by murdering many, raping an estimated 10,000 women,1 and looting. --Cut here--
