At midnight, Songkhla, the headquarters of the 18th Division of the Island Army.

Although it was already the middle of the night, the headquarters was still brightly lit, and the staff officers and generals shuttled through it, a busy scene.

The Chinese airborne troops suddenly assembled and stormed Penang with most of the Wolf's Tooth Special Combat Team and attacked Kedah with a small part of the Marauders Independent Regiment.

Moreover, judging from the current deployment of troops, the direction of their main attack should be Penang, and yesterday in Kedah was a faint attempt, which was clearly a feint in an attempt to mobilize Penang's defensive forces and then take advantage of the weakness.

Mu Taguchi Lian is also secretly proud, he has no plan to win Jiang Haoran, the first round of threats is over, and then as long as the two airborne troops in front of him are quickly eliminated, the entire peninsula will be protected by iron nails, and the Chinese Navy will not want to rush to land on the beach from the heavily fortified coastline.

Two hours earlier, the commander of the 22nd Army, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, had sent a telegram informing him that the British had withdrawn from Singapore under Chiang Haoran's conspiracy, which meant that the locust army was missing a trump card in their hands, and the next step was to live and die with real swords and guns.

In this regard, Mu Tian Kou Lian not only did not feel lost, but a little excited, since Huo Malin was killed by Jiang Haoran his entire brigade in the battle, this evil breath has been held in his heart, and now the opportunity for revenge has finally come, so at this moment, Mu Tian Kou Lian is also like a chicken blood, jumping up and down in the command headquarters with full energy.

The Chinese airborne troops began to assemble, which gave him hope, and he was actively mobilizing troops to besiege them, and at the same time constantly urging the 118th Division in the Siam direction to quickly move closer to them, once the two divisions converged, it would inevitably be the time when the Chinese airborne troops were destroyed.

"Boom, boom!"

Suddenly, several dull explosions came, which surprised everyone in the command, Songkhla is an absolute rear, even the nearest airborne troops were dozens of roads away from Songkhla, and now they have attacked in the direction of Penang and Kedah, naturally it won't be them, what does this inexplicable explosion mean?

"Northwest, on the edge of the city, call the Kasawara team and ask them what's going on there?" Mutaguchi Lian also shouted, in the end, he has rich experience in the battlefield, and people don't need to go out, and they can determine where they are by relying on these few dull explosions.

A staff officer immediately picked up the phone to connect with the Kasawara squad, before the two sides began to speak, the gunshots on the phone came lively, the Kasawara squad leader reported, they encountered a troop attack, the current strength is unknown, but the AK47 used by the other party, as soon as it came up, it hit and rushed with very strong firepower, and the soldiers were dressed in jungle camouflage suits, tall and tall, suspected of being a predator independent regiment.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Mutaguchi Ren also let out a roar of rage, and immediately ordered the guard squadron to rush to reinforcements immediately, and must completely annihilate the invaders.

In order to encircle and suppress the Chinese airborne troops, Mutaguchi Lian has also withdrawn all the troops in the rear, and even in Songkhla at this time, the strength is only a brigade.

Songkhla is not a castle-like city, there is no deep city outline around, and the traffic arteries in all directions need military handles, and the only ones that can be mobilized at this time are the guard squadrons of the division and regimental headquarters.

As soon as he heard that the guard squadron was going to be transferred, Tomita Zhiliang, chief of staff of the 18th Division, immediately became anxious and said: "Wait Mu Tianjun, the marauders are cunning and cunning, don't fall for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" Shall I see or wait and see? ”

Mutaguchi Renya waved his hand and said: "No need, everything is to eliminate the invaders as the first priority, and all the personnel of the headquarters will be issued weapons, they are also samurai, and they can ensure the safety of the headquarters." ”

Mutaguchi Lian is also right, even if the people of the island country are civilian personnel, they have received military training since childhood, and with the number of hundreds of people in the command, it seems that there is no problem for a while, not to mention, they actually have reinforcements, and the Noda team escorting Chen Jiageng has passed through the southern Songkhla outpost ten minutes ago, and it should arrive soon.

Therefore, Tomita Tomoliang did not insist any longer, the rapid whistle sounded, the guard squadron quickly assembled, and the soldiers got into the troop carrier and galloped away in the northwest direction.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers reported that the Noda team had arrived, and Mutaguchi Ryoya was overjoyed and went out to greet him in person.

Of course, it was not to greet the Noda team, but to greet Chen Jiageng.

The island army naturally knows Chen Jiageng's influence in Southeast Asia, and at the same time knows that the Chinese attach great importance to him, if he can persuade Chen Jiageng to obey the locust army, with his influence, he can definitely make the locust army win the support of overseas Chinese and local natives in Southeast Asia in a short period of time, which is a great achievement in quelling civil strife and even obtaining a large number of laborers to help transport.

It doesn't matter if Chen Jiageng is unmoved, with him in hand, it is also a good weapon against the Chinese, which is also the fundamental reason why they tried their best to catch Chen Jiageng, and the Kameda brigade did not live up to the trust.

Mutaguchi Lian also took a group of staff generals out of the door, and there were already thirty or forty locust soldiers standing like javelins in the headquarters compound, all German-style MP40 submachine guns hung diagonally on their chests, and the soldiers lined up neatly with broad waists and round arms.

This military appearance made Mu Tian Koulian particularly satisfied, and his smile had already climbed on his face, and he even stopped the team leader from saluting, and said with a warm smile: "Captain Noda, you did a good job, what about Mr. Chen Jiageng?" ”

"Thank you for the compliment, the commander of the division, you are here." Captain Noda replied in fluent Japanese, turned his head and made a gesture, and the two soldiers in the rear immediately walked out with Chen Jiageng, who was tied up with five flowers.

"Bastard, Mr. Chen is a distinguished guest of the Locust Army, who made you do this?" Mu Tian Kou Lian also rebuked angrily, and then quickly stepped forward, personally untied Chen Jiageng, and apologized in broken Chinese in his mouth.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Captain Noda pretended to be careless, but his eyes slid around.

Needless to say, Captain Noda was of course dressed up by Su Canwen, and the more than 30 people behind him were all members of the Yellow Forest Detachment, but the movement in the northwest direction was made by some of the soldiers of the Tie Erdan Detachment, and this move was very effective.

Standing here are all short in the Snow Wolf Special Operations Team, and the tall ones have been taken away by Tie Erdan, so the island army will think that they are like British soldiers who are generally tall.

Although the Kameda Brigade of the Island Army has escaped the net, the battlefield is still dozens of miles away from Songkhla, and a group of panicked lost dogs can be faster than the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team that is going straight at full speed, so it also achieved Su Canwen's next surprise attack.
