Hong Kong was invaded on December 8th by a Japanese force that was massively superior in numbers. The Scottish, Canadian and Indian forces were pushed back to the Gindrinkers Line by the evening of December 9th. Once this had been breached by the capture of Shing Mun Redoubt the mainland had to be evacuated, leaving large amounts of arms and ammunition in enemy hands. On December 18th and 19th the Japanese assaulted between Victoria and Shau Kewant and by evening they had captured more than half the island. Fierce fighting continued, but by the 22nd most of the resistance ended, and on December 25th the garrison surrendered.*
