Originally, they expected that the 56th Wing of Kedah could transfer troops to solve their urgent needs, but they also used the excuse of being besieged by the marauders to take care of themselves, and they were eager to return a brigade that was transferred, only to make Shiro Yamazaki so angry that he spat out white smoke, the plunderers were only more than 3,000 troops at best, how about the 56th Wing with tens of thousands of troops? What's more, there is the 57th Wing rushing to reinforcements behind them, how can they easily resolve the crisis in front of them, if these situations are not coordinated and enforced by the division commander, the 55th Wing may be difficult to survive until tomorrow morning.

"Report to the Wing Commander, the division headquarters guard squadron is in an emergency!" The telecommunications staff officer handed the telegram in his hand to Shiro Yamazaki, his face full of panic, and even his hand holding the telegram was trembling.

"Nani, Guard Squadron?" Shiro Yamazaki didn't have the expression of the telecommunications staff officer, he took the telegram suspiciously, glanced at it hurriedly, and suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the whole person was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, as if he didn't believe that he had seen everything, and looked at the telegram again, "The division commander, the chief of staff, and all the members of the command headquarters collectively shattered jade", more than a dozen big characters were shocking.

This is something that cannot be joked, and its authenticity is beyond doubt, the message slipped from Shiro Yamazaki's hand, and a face quickly twisted and deformed into beads of sweat rolled down, and the whole person began to shake, and he couldn't stand steadily.

"Wing Captain ......"

"Wing Captain ......"

There was a chorus of exclamations from the command.

……

At the same time, Singapore, the headquarters of the XXII Army of the Island Army. An almost identical scene is being played out, as a group of staff generals hold on to the crumbling commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai.

Undoubtedly, Takashi Sakai also received the news that the headquarters of the 18th Division had been terminated.

This news was no less than a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and it blinded his whole body.

The division headquarters and division commander are the soul of the entire division and regiment, and what combat effectiveness can we talk about when a unit has no soul?

At this moment, no matter who is sent to rebuild the headquarters, it is impossible to quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the troops, because no one can get acquainted with an unfamiliar unit in the shortest possible time and make the officers below obey their words.

Takashi Sakai pushed away the people around him, walked to the chair and sat down in a few steps, took a breath, seemed to have accepted this cruel fact, and ordered the staff officer to immediately draft a telegram, report everything to the Southern Army Headquarters, and ask for tactical guidance from General Terauchi.

At the same time, he attached his own opinions, suggesting that he urgently increase troops from Siam, transfer the Fifth Flying Regiment from Bangkok to build air defense forces, and mobilize a combined fleet from Manila to aid Singapore and fight to the death with the Chinese Navy in the Strait of Malacca. His 22nd Army would defend Singapore, waiting for Siamese reinforcements to attack back and forth, driving the Chinese out to sea.

Meanwhile, Chittagong.

The headquarters of the island army was a gloomy fog, but here it was laughter.

Chen Shaokuan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "General seat, I really didn't expect Su Canwen to find the location of the headquarters of the Eighteenth Division in such a short period of time, and kill them all in one pot?" ”

Jiang Haoran also said happily: "Don't say you didn't think of it, even I feel like I'm dreaming, these stinky boys are so fast that I am a little helpless." ”

"You're at a loss? What do you mean? Lin Long's mouth was fast, and he said strangely.

"Hehe, you think, originally I estimated that they would have to take two or three days to complete this task, and the landing plan was also set according to this, at that time the British East India Fleet could also be in place, but these stinky boys are now taking the enemy's command headquarters, and the situation of internal chaos in the entire 18th Division has been formed, do you think I am taking advantage of their chaos to take their lives or taking advantage of their chaos to take their lives?"

After this rap, everyone instantly understood that this guy was purely chattering, and there was a burst of laughter in the room.

"Chief, I request to go to the front line to command the battle!" Gui Yongqing stepped forward to make his debut, and he still remembered the promise made a few days ago.

Jiang Haoran looked at Gui Yongqing, who was full of ambition, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Frank, the chief of staff is not doing his job when he goes to the battlefield, you should stay in the rear and strategize." ”

"Commander-in-chief, I'll go, I'm the commander-in-chief of the fleet, and I should do it!" Chen Shaokuan also stepped forward.

Jiang Haoran waved his hand and said: "You can't go either, who will guarantee the logistics of the fleet you have left, so I have to go, an idler." ”

Chen Shaokuan and Gui Yongqing glanced at each other, and took a step forward together, this is a matter within their share, how can there be a reason to bother the general seat to go to the front in person, of course, they have to say.

Who knew that the two of them hadn't spoken yet, but Lin Long took the lead and said: "Forget it, two chiefs, our headquarters hasn't been in battle to kill the enemy for some time, I'm afraid that I'm already scratching my heart with a hundred claws, you haven't seen the snow wolf special combat team leave, he swallowed his saliva wildly, which envy is strong, if it weren't for such a big event dragging him, he would probably have already gone to the rainforest to be happy and revenge, so yes, you don't have to fight with him at this time, if you are anxious, he can give you a face." ”

As soon as Lin Long's voice fell, there was a burst of chuckles in the command center, thinking about it carefully, Jiang Haoran was really such a person, bloodthirsty.

At the moment, Chen Shaokuan and Gui Yongqing did not fight, and they said that they would do a good job of logistics for Jiang Haoran to ensure that they would not drop the chain.

Ten minutes later, a group of people gathered around Jiang Haoran to the military port, and a Sunderland seaplane was already quietly parked on the water.

The distance from Chittagong to the waters near Malacca was more than 2,000 kilometers in a straight line, there were no Allied airfields on the way, and land transport planes could not land on aircraft carriers, so seaplanes became the only option.

"Sunderland" is the best seaplane of the World War II era, produced by the British Schott Aircraft Company.

For the British Isles, ensuring the safety of maritime transport has always been a matter of life and death, so the British have always focused on the development and use of seaplanes.

Since the thirties, various forms of seaplanes have been fully developed, in order to update the next generation of anti-submarine patrol aircraft, the British veteran Schott Aircraft Company in 1936 based on the famous "Imperial water passenger aircraft", redesigned the Sunderland seaplane, this kind of multi-purpose four-engine aircraft named after a port in the northeast of England became a similar model comparable to the PBY aircraft in the United States in World War II, is the first monoplane seaplane of the Royal Air Force, and is also the world's first water patrol aircraft equipped with a powered turret.

The elegantly proportioned all-metal four-engine mainframe "Sunderland" has a thick fuselage with a vertical oval cross-section. The cabin is divided into two decks, with a wheelhouse, lounge, workshop, sleeper, officer's canteen, galley and toilets.

The main thing is that it has a speed of 720 kilometers per hour and a range of up to 14 hours, and if nothing else, Jiang Haoran will board the aircraft carrier in three hours.
