I want to live in your fantasy world where militaries meet up at pre-arranged times in empty fields to take turns shooting at eachother.

  The city of Hong Kong is not suitable for those type of tactics nor are those tactics useful for waging asymmetric warfare. Insurgencies fought with guerrilla tactics relay on harassment, defense positions, and movement. The city of Hong Kong is perfect for this. Artillery is useless in an urban environment for what I hope are obvious reasons. Tanks have little to no room to maneuver or support troops either. An insurgency would use narrow streets and buildings to their advantage. Both of which are difficult for a traditional military to leverage their strengths with. I agree in a dense urban environment it’s difficult to keep the civilian population safe. You need to win heart and mind. But tactically the city probably has many advantages for an insurgent military. Especially if a strong majority of civilians support the cause.
