Yang Honglie's bitter words were exchanged for Jiang Haoran's eyes, and he was not even willing to give any explanation for this, and continued to order the anti-submarine planes to expand the search range, and it was necessary to ensure that the existence of enemy submarines would never be seen within 100 nautical miles.

The 1st Marine Division on the island of Sumatra was ordered to assemble immediately, and in two hours there would be a transport ship docking, and they would leave for the battlefield in Singapore.

In everything, Jiang Haoran seems to be a magic obstacle, knowing that he can't do it.

……

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

At about 5 p.m., the headquarters of the 22nd Army of the Singapore Island Army.

The chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tada, strode into the headquarters, took off the military hat on his head as soon as he entered the door, unbuttoned the collar, and stood in front of an electric fan to enjoy the coolness for a while.

There is no significant change in the temperature in Singapore throughout the year, and it is hot and humid all year round.

"Tada-kun, how's the dock going? There's nothing unusual in the defensive line, right? Commander Takashi Sakai threw out two questions in one breath, and these are the two things he is most worried about at the moment.

Governor Tada said with a smile: "Everything is going well, all the supplies will leave the port tonight, and tomorrow the troops can enter the retreat stage, as for the defense line...... Hehe, I believe that the army should be self-aware and will not act rashly again. ”

Because the strategic retreat has entered the final stage, the Chinese army obviously cannot pose a threat to the locust army in the short term, and the command headquarters is relaxed up and down, and the words of Governor Tada, who is obviously sadistic, suddenly ushered in a burst of chuckles.

But Takashi Sakai frowned, and immediately said: "Yesterday, the aviation unit and the special high school confirmed that the army is urgently increasing troops to the front, and it has also carried out airdrops for two consecutive nights, I don't think they will just admit defeat, this is not in line with Jiang Haoran's style, so Tada-kun, you must not take it lightly." ”

The smile on Governor Tada's face slowly receded, and he nodded: "What Sakai-kun said is that Jiang Haoran is cunning and cunning, we must not take it lightly, and I also seriously warned the commanders of each division at the front. ”

Takashi Sakai nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the 119th Division on the Western Front to begin to shrink its forces to the city, preparing to enter the retreat stage, those Chinese and overseas Chinese in the city should be killed, important buildings, factory facilities, fortifications, etc., can be destroyed and bombed, in short, the principle is to leave a ruin to the Chinese.

The combat effectiveness of the island army is not bad, and the destructive power is like a wild boar entering a watermelon field, this order, I can't imagine what kind of purgatory on earth will become in Singapore tonight.

Takashi Sakai said: "Tada-kun, you personally go to verify the current position of the Third Fleet, and you must ensure that you enter the best attack distance, I am always worried that Jiang Haoran will not stop there." ”

"Hay, I'm going to send a message to the Third Fleet." Governor Tada turned around and walked to the telecommunications room.

The reason why Singapore is still safe and sound today is entirely due to the fact that the locust army has full control of air supremacy, otherwise the helicopters of the Chinese army will come over intensively, and they may tear through the defense line built by the locust army at any time.

Although Takashi Sakai kept the Chinese Pacific Fleet 300 nautical miles away with a mine line, planes were still able to fly in without interruption.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Takashi Sakai yesterday suggested that the Third Fleet should move as close to Singapore as possible to ensure that even if the Chinese army's carrier-based aircraft are dispatched from the nest, the air supremacy can be firmly controlled in the hands of the locust army.

At the same time, with the close protection of the Third Fleet, the locust army can also withdraw from Singapore more smoothly and quickly, completing this strategic retreat.

Soon, Governor Tada came back and reported that the Third Fleet was only 50 nautical miles away from Singapore, and this distance could ensure the rapid arrival of carrier-based aircraft in Singapore, and at the same time, outside the range of Chinese carrier-based aircraft, even the Aerial Fortress bombers carrying whaling Fork anti-ship missiles at Palembang Airport could not pose any threat to the Locust Aircraft Carrier Fleet without fighter escort.

Of course, the premise is that Takashi Sakai must ensure the absolute effectiveness of the mine defense line.

In this regard, Governor Tada raised some worries, because the Chinese Pacific Fleet has increased its anti-submarine degree, and several submarines that were originally left to observe have to return to the base, and they have not received any news from the Chinese Pacific Fleet for two days, and many things can be done in two days, who can guarantee that the Chinese Navy will make no progress, even if it advances 100 nautical miles, it will be a big challenge for the Locust Army Aviation.

In this regard, Takashi Sakai is particularly confident, and this is also his proud work, more than 3,000 mines are not a small number, covering the distance of dozens of nautical miles on the fairway, the Strait of Malacca is not wide, and the only way to get through it is through minesweeping.

Even if they have enough minesweepers and minesweepers, it is a huge amount of work to lock and dismantle them one by one, and the demolition of mines alone can exhaust those divers to death, not to mention that it has only been two days, even if they add ten days, they will not be able to advance a hundred nautical miles.

Seeing that Takashi Sakai said with confidence, Governor Tada did not continue to delve into it, but what they never dreamed of was that the problem was this, they underestimated Jiang Haoran's creativity, he always had the magic power to turn decay into magic.

At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the heralds hurriedly came in to report that an urgent telegram had been sent from the lurking personnel of the Special High School Division, and a large number of landing soldiers had suddenly appeared on the east coast, and the assault boats and kayaks had already been launched, and it was suspected that they would launch a sneak attack on Singapore tonight.

Before the retreat of the island army, a large number of undercover personnel were placed in the Malay Peninsula, and this came into play.

"Landing from the East Coast?" Takashi Sakai immediately frowned, although the east coast is an open land, but close to the sea, if necessary, the gunboats of the locust army can even directly enter the Strait of Johor, kayaks and assault boats against the battleships, three-year-old children can know what the result will be, doesn't he Jiang Haoran understand? Takashi Sakai muttered in his heart.

"Sakai-kun, do you think it's time to send more troops to the east coast?" Governor Tada said urgently.

The defending force on the east bank was only one wing, and from the beginning, Takashi Sakai did not believe that the Chinese army would choose to land here, and their best offensive line should still be the Johor embankment, so the focus of Sakai's defense was still within the range of Highway 20 or 30 around the Johor embankment.

"Ignore them, and order the middle lane to keep an eye on the movements of the army." Takashi Sakai said and looked at the time, and continued: "Order the reconnaissance plane to take off immediately, and conduct an aerial reconnaissance on the opposite shore while it is still dark. ”
