World War Battle?

Question

My father recently read an interesting piece about a battle from World War II, but lost it before I had a chance to see it. It was about a small group of Canadians who had captured an enemy fort, but were quickly surronded by Japense soldiers. The Japense thought they had an easy victory, but the Canadians wouldn't surrender, and fought for 10 days, even after they ran out of bullets. Rocks and mud met the Japense as they entered the fort and captured the Canadians. Does anyone know when and where said battle took place?

Answer 1

The most known battle between Japanese and Canadian people was in Hong Kong, perhaps he remember that:
On the island, the defending forces were reorganized into an East and West Brigade. The West Brigade, commanded by Brigadier Lawson, consisted of the Royal Scots, the Winnipeg Grenadiers, the Punjab unit and the Canadian signallers. The East Brigade, under Brigadier Wallis, comprised the Royal Rifles of Canada and the Rajput unit. The Middlesex Regiment was directly under General Maltby's command at Fortress Headquarters.

The Canadian battalions were divided and the Royal Rifles were no longer under Brigadier Lawson's command. But ironically, both Canadian units were still charged with defending the southern beaches, where General Maltby mistakenly feared a seaborne attack.

The boundary between the brigades ran just east of the central north-south road across the island. Brigadier Lawson maintained his headquarters at Wong Nei Chong on this key road cutting through the island. Brigadier Wallis established his headquarters at Tai Tam Gap, a central position in the eastern sector.

To soften the island's defences, the Japanese directed heavy artillery bombardment at the island, mounted destructive air raids, and systematically shelled the pillboxes along the north shore.

On December 17, the Japanese repeated their demand for surrender. Once again it was summarily refused, but the situation was very grim. With the sinking of two British relief ships off Malaya and the crippling of the United States fleet at Pearl Harbor, there was no hope of relief, and the Chinese armies were in no position to give immediate aid. The defenders awaited assault in complete isolation. Brigadier Wallis visited the Rajput Regiment's headquarters on December 18, and wrongly assured the Indian military personnel that the Japanese would not attack. Like General Maltby, he grossly underestimated the fighting ability of the Japanese.

Germany won an excellent form of battles. They conquered Poland, Norway, the low international places, France, Yugolslavia and Greece then Crete. In Russia they initialy defeated each and every thing the Russians ought to throw at them and on the comparable time Rommel develop into triumphing many victories against extra beneficial British forces in North Africa. while the tide became Germany develop into dealing with too many enemies on too many fronts and finally it develop into enivatable that they could no longer tournament the allies in numbers of adult adult males and aspects.
