After the start of the war, Britain, which had always been threatened on its homeland, tended to mobilize its own land and mustache in terms of manpower and materials. The 300 to 500 fighter force that the British command in Malaysia hoped for was never realized. When the British troops in Malaya faced the Imperial Chinese Defense Force, which was equipped with more than 2,000 "Snow Leopard" tanks and tanks, they found that the defenders did not have even one (the only 20 Cromwells were working as torches in Padang).

The British had a plan to preemptively invade southern Thailand and preemptively disrupt the landing sites of the Wehrmacht, which it named Operation Matador. But in the end, the action was not carried out. The Battle of Malaya began with the F-FDTL 10th Army's attack on Malaya on 8 December 18, with the IDF carrying out an amphibious landing at Kota Bharu on the northern coast of Malaya and the beginning of the offensive on the eastern coast of Malaya, which was coordinated with the FDTL landings in Pattani and Songkhla in Thailand, where they were to cross the Malaysian-Thai border to attack the western part of Malaya. After an eight-hour exchange of fire with the Thai ** team that morning, the National Defense Forces quickly reached an agreement with the Thai government, which had already secretly communicated with each other, to borrow a military base in Thailand to support the attack on Malaya. At 4 o'clock in the morning, 150 Royal Chinese Air Force bombers attacked Singapore, destroying 61 British defenses, killing 350 British soldiers and wounding more than 770 people.

On December 8, the Blenhen bombers of the 62nd Squadron of the British Royal Air Force stationed in Singapore were preparing to take off to the air base in Alor Setar, Kedah. Hannan was stationed in Alor Setar in June of that year and was executed in December for revealing information about the British army to China. However, these planes could no longer play any role, because their location had long been known to Chinese intelligence officers among the local Chinese, and after the first air strike, the 62nd Squadron was completely removed from the RAF establishment.

After landing, the IDF was first resisted by the Indian 3rd Army and several British brigades, and the IDF quickly cleared the Indian resistance from the coastline and concentrated its forces on encircling and forcing the Indian army to surrender. The Wehrmacht had a great advantage on the ground in northern Malaya because of their strong air support, as well as their superiority over the British in armoured forces, mutual cooperation, tactics and experience, especially the Wehrmacht gained a lot of experience in the Second Sino-Japanese War, the British did not have tanks, while the Wehrmacht used highly motorized vehicles and powerful "Snow Leopard" medium tanks, which allowed them to easily traverse the tropical rainforests of Malaya.

In place of Operation Matador, Operation Crouch was launched on 8 December, but the Anglo-Indian forces were soon defeated by four infantry divisions of the Wehrmacht's 17th Army, which had landed in Pattani, Thailand. The Royal Navy's Z fleet consisted of the battleships HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Enemy and 4 destroyers, led by Admiral Thomas Brown. Command Philip had reached the area before the outbreak of war, but the sinking of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Enemy on 10 December due to IDF air superiority opened the door to the east coast of Malaya and allowed FDF to continue the landing operation.

The Buffalo fighters of the British Air Force fighter squadron in Malaya had a number of problems, including: they were oversized and poorly equipped; insufficient supply of parts; insufficient support staff; The airfield is difficult to defend in the face of air attacks; lack of a clear and coherent command structure; The hostility between the Royal Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force squadrons and personnel, as well as the lack of proper training of inexperienced pilots, paid a heavy price in the first week of the fighting, and some of the squadrons had to merge and retreat to the Dutch East Indies. The remaining attack fighters were obsolete Blenhen, Lockheed Hudson light bombers, and Vickers torpedo bombers, most of which were quickly shot down by Wehrmacht fighters on the ground and in the air, and could not be effective. Sfka was awarded the Victoria Medal for the December 9 attack.

On 11 December, the vanguard of the Wehrmacht 17th Army, supported by dual-purpose tanks, moved south from Thailand, defeated British and Indian forces at Jitra and quickly advanced inland from the Kota Bharu beachhead in the northeast to break up the northern defenses, and because there was no real naval force left, the British could not stop the operations of the Wehrmacht Navy on the coast of Malaya, although these actions were of little help to the invading forces, and since there were no British aircraft left, the Chinese dominated the skies, Constantly attacking the British Allied troops and civilians on the ground from the air.

The Malayan island of Penang has been bombed daily by the Wehrmacht since December 8 and forced to abandon it on December 17, weapons, ships, supplies and a working radio station fell into the hands of the Chinese, many Europeans retreated from Penang, and the local residents happily waited for the Chinese to help them return to the country, which also caused embarrassment to the British and separated the British from the local population, if this relationship did exist.

December 23rd, by David? The Indian 11th Infantry Division, commanded by Mayfe-Lyons, was ordered to hold off the Wehrmacht, but to little avail, and did little trouble for the squadron other than annoyance with the inexperienced logistics officers of the 15th Army arranging the Indian catering of these POWs. By the end of the first week of January, the whole of northern Malaya had completely fallen into Chinese hands, and at the same time, Thailand had signed a treaty of friendship with the Chinese Democratic Empire to establish a loose military alliance, and Thailand was allowed to regain its dominion over the territories of some Islamic monarchs in northern Malaya, thus unifying the areas it occupied, and the IDF soon reached its next target, the city of Kuala Lumpur, which the Chinese IDF entered and occupied without resistance on 11 January 19, Less than 200 miles away, the island of Singapore is about to face an attack by the National Defense Forces. After the disaster of the Battle of the Shilin River, the Indian 11th Infantry Division was ordered to hold off the Wehrmacht at Kuala Lumpur, and in the Battle of the Shilin River, two Indian infantry brigades were actually integrated into the Chinese prisoner of war camp in Yulin, Guangxi, while another Indian infantry brigade was also wiped out in Muar, which added a little to the cost of pensions for the British.

On 14 January, the Defence Forces had reached the southern province of Johor in Malaya, where they met the leader of Henry Bahru. Gordon? Bennett's command of the Australian 8th Division, the Wehrmacht encountered the first tactical setback here, because the Australian Army established a strong defense around the city of Kinmas, the battle was fought around the Kinmasi Bridge, where the Wehrmacht paid the price of 60 dead and wounded, but the bridge was destroyed by the British themselves in the battle, and the Wehrmacht spent 6 hours repairing the bridge, which was also the proudest record of the British since the beginning of the war, and the longest time to stop the squadron from traveling was born.

When the Wehrmacht attacked the flank of the Australian Army west of Kinmas, one of the bloodiest battles of the war broke out on 15 January along the Muar River on the west coast of the peninsula, Bennett sent the weakened Indian 45th Brigade (only half of the soldiers were trained) to defend the south bank of the Muar River, but was attacked by the Wehrmacht landing from the sea, and the entire brigade was routed from the bottom, and the brigade commander and the commanders of the three regiments under him were all killed. As always, the Indians held up the Li Enfei rifle in their hands, looking for the curry flavor, and entered the prisoner of war camp temporarily set up by the Chinese National Defense Forces.

In Australia Lieutenant General Charles? Under Anderson's leadership, the retreating Indian army, supported by the Australian Army, formed the Muar defensive line, and fought desperately for 4 hours, trying to make the remnants of the other Great Britain troops retreat from northern Malaya to avoid being encircled, when the Muar defenders reached the bridge at Bari Solong and found that the bridge had been occupied by the Wehrmacht, Anderson ordered everyone to rush over as the number of casualties continued to rise, and some fled into the nearby jungles, swamps and rubber woodlands to find the headquarters of his infantry regiment in Yong Binh, 135 wounded British or Australian soldiers fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht, two of whom were killed in the escape, and Anderson himself was awarded the Victorian Medal.

On 20 January, despite the further successful landing of the Wehrmacht at Hing Lou in the face of bombing by the Royal Air Force Vickers bombers, the British ** team faced the attack of the Wehrmacht on the entire line of defense in Johor, Batu Pahat-Kluang-Engsing, and unfortunately, Percival refused to establish a fixed defence in Johor, north of Singapore.

On 27 January, Percival received a telegram from the British government ordering the troops to retreat across the Straits of Johor to Singapore.

On 31 January, when the last British troops left Malaya, British engineers blew a 70-foot (20-metre) wide hole in the Johor causeway between Johor and Singapore (a handful of out-of-service soldiers still opened the causeway for days), and the IDF commandos later crossed the Straits of Johor in small boats to attack Singapore. In less than two months, the Battle of Malaya ended with the complete defeat of the British and their exit from the Malay Peninsula. Nearly 50,000 Commonwealth soldiers were captured or killed. On 14 February, he captured a naval base along the coast of Singapore. Surrounded by the Defence Forces, the more than 80,000 defenders on the island of Singapore were demoralized.

On 15 February, Percival surrendered with his troops. In this battle, the Wehrmacht occupied the Malay Peninsula at the cost of about 100 casualties, opened a strategic channel for attacking the Dutch East Indies, and created an unfavorable situation for the British army's defensive operations in the Pacific theater. Since then, Singapore, the 'Lion City', a world-famous fortress, belongs to the Chinese. At the cost of 94 casualties, Lieutenant General Du Yuming, commander of the 17th Army, swept 650 miles from north to south of the Malay Peninsula until he captured Singapore. The British suffered 100 times as many casualties as the Wehrmacht, and 130,000 soldiers surrendered. This victory was the largest land victory in the history of the Wehrmacht. Once again, they dramatically flaunted their force to the whole world. Even Japanese newspapers are making a big deal of publicity: "The overall situation of the war in Southeast Asia has been decided; The capture of Singapore in just three days proves that the combat power of our yellow race is far superior to that of white pigs. China's Ministry of National Defense issued a brief briefing declaring: "The fighting on the Indochina Peninsula is basically complete, and our national defense forces have disarmed a stubborn enemy in the region." Except for some of the remaining units of the 17th Army to maintain law and order, other national defense forces will gradually withdraw and transfer defense to the legitimate armed forces of the countries where they are located, and the squadron will not take the occupation of other countries' territory as its mission. "To the astonishment of the nations, the Wehrmacht, who had suffered no more than 100 casualties, actually began to withdraw, which also completely frustrated the attempts of the British to provoke local forces to launch a guerrilla war against the Wehrmacht. Is it really so easy for China to give up on this crossroads between the Far East and the South Seas?
