IOTL the British colony fell after 18 days of combat in late 1941, with largely green and under-equipped Commonwealth forces defending it against the Japanese army.

Now, with a POD no earlier than 1930 (year picked at random ;)), how could we defend Hong Kong better? Or, failing that, reduce losses so that some of the original garrison can live to fight another day? Or, if those won't work, make the Battle of Hong Kong the Thermopylae of the Far East? :)
