Interesting fact: Japanese forces did not officially surrender to the British in French Indochina until November 1945. From late August until November 1945, the Japanese forces were allied with the British and French against the Viet Minh in Vietnam. In October 1945, north of Saigon, British troops attacked Viet Minh forces and freed hundreds of Japanese POW's. Subsequent to this operation, GATEFORCE (comprised of British and up to 500 Japanese soldiers) attacked the Viet Minh at Xuan Loc to the east. The British made their assault during the day using armored cars, while the Japanese infantry attacked at night and carried out a traditional Banzai charge that involved hand-to-hand fighting with the Viet Minh. The Viet Minh were defeated, and the Japanese are recorded as suffering no losses.
Not a single word about the chinese officer sitting beside the british admiral ?....
Their silence officially admined that UK had the sovereignty of HK
Britain really showed to be Great when it's 14th Army liberated Asia from Burma to Vietnam and from Indonesia to mainland Japan. VJ Day.....
they forgot to mentioned that the Chinese forces tried to take hong kong before the British did, but the british caught wind before hand and arrived before they did that is why you see a Chinese general at the ceremony on the British side of the table
@@schweppes6679 I meant the nationalist chinese not the communist chinese
@@Kabutoes there is no big difference, both are dictatorship, you know how many years Taiwan have fought for the freedom they enjoy today. If Hong Kong was under any Chinese party sovereignty, it would not be successful like British Hong Kong. And after returning to China in 1997, the situation in Hong Kong has been getting worse.
@@schweppes6679 Yeah I pray for Hong Kong
It was a highly sensitive matter in those days. Mao's increasing military mobilisation north of the Lo Wu causing panic to many people in Hong Kong.
Kabutoes it doesn’t matter both the communist and nationalist had already join forces.
Japanese brutality in China, beyond compression
It is the extreme brutality of Japan military facism not the Japanese people in general.
The brutality from Japan military facism to the chinese people is a decease of the skin.CCP brutality to their very own people is the decease of the heart.
@@canman5060 Indeed. as a Chinese, I felt so heartbroken to hear what happened to our people during the great leap forward and cultural revolution. They suffered a lot because of Mao. Chiang was still better than Mao.
@@hkboi7433 You thought Mao was bad, we have worse nowadays.
@@canman5060 What is this nonsense?
China had the last laugh.
