Chapter 453: The Malays Want to Fight

For a time, the good impression of the Japanese as "liberators" in the minds of the Nanyang people was completely gone.

Some people have even rebelled, but in the face of the powerful Japanese army, these acts of resistance will only bring destruction.

But there are also some people who helped the Japanese and contributed to the Japanese before the Japanese attacked Nanyang.

Now that the Japanese have occupied the South Seas, let them become the dogs of the Japanese in the South Seas.

They helped the Japanese to rob the supplies of the South Seas, helped the Japanese suppress the South Seas, and acted as the eyes and hands of the Japanese.

Soon, they set their eyes on Zhoujiadao.

Many of the Malays killed by Zhou Lin twice were their clansmen, and this hatred has always been remembered in the hearts of these Malays.

Zhoujiadao has developed rapidly over the past year and has become a commercial center in the surrounding area, which has made these Malays jealous.

In the past, Zhoujiadao had a relationship with the US military base, and they did not dare to move.

Now that the Americans have run away and descended, Zhoujiadao has no backers.

If you don't touch Zhoujiadao at this time, your ancestors will blame you.

So, a few horse traitors discussed in the dark room for a day, and finally made a plan.

They dispatched three divisions of troops and gathered five warships to prepare for the capture of Zhoujia Island.

Due to the separation of military and government on Zhoujia Island, and the secrecy work is done well, the outside world does not know how many troops Zhoujia Island has.

One division, no more than two divisions, this is the highest assessment of the strength of Zhoujiadao by those Malays.

Before the operation, they bought off a Japanese captain with dollars.

The captain of the Japanese army said arrogantly that as soon as he stood up, the people on Zhoujia Island would raise their hands and surrender.

So, the captain of the Japanese army took a large group of Japanese soldiers and began to move with them.

When they were discussing how to deal with Zhoujiadao, Zhoujiadao had already gotten the news.

Zhou Lin immediately convened an operational meeting to lay out the battle plan.

In order to completely annihilate these Malays, Zhou Lin decided to send a division of troops to two deserted islands 20 nautical miles away from Zhoujia Island by troop transport ships overnight.

These two desert islands are the only way for Malays to come to Zhoujia Island.

As long as these two desert islands are held, the Malays will be cut off.

The division that went out was Cui Haitao's Division A, with more than 4,000 people in the division.

Zhou Lin equipped them with fifty more mortars, as well as light and heavy machine guns.

As long as the Malays launched an attack on Zhoujia Island and were bombarded by artillery fire on the island, they would inevitably retreat to avoid the artillery fire on Zhoujia Island and retreat more than 10 nautical miles.

In this way, it has entered the firepower range of Cui Haitao's division, and it is time for Cui Haitao to perform.

After arranging Cui Haitao's division, Zhou Lin deployed the troops on the island.

The coastal defense artillery has not been put on a show since it was installed, and this time it is time for them to speak, not only to deter the Malays, but also to make the Japanese put away their ambitions.

During this time, Zhou Lin's intelligence officers in various places sent back information that some of the Japanese were attacking the idea of Zhoujiadao.

Zhou Lin would definitely not let the Japanese occupy Zhoujia Island.

After arranging the army, Zhou Lin arranged the residents of the island.

At the beginning of the battle, no civilians were allowed on Zhoujia Island, and all non-military personnel were allowed to enter the air-raid shelter.

When the various orders reached the various units, Zhoujiadao entered a state of combat readiness.

On January 12, 1942, the Malay troops were only more than 30 nautical miles from Zhoujia Island.

Sirens sounded on Zhoujia Island, and at the same time, the island's administrators brought all the non-military personnel into the bomb shelter.

Many of these people are businessmen who have come from other places to do business.

Half an hour later, not a single non-soldier was visible on the island.

At this time, the invading Malay army had already passed through the two desert islands where Cui Haitao and them were lurking, and the Malays did not find that there was an ambush on the island.

At eleven o'clock, the Malay army was only eight nautical miles from Zhoujia Island.

A warning signal had been issued on Zhoujia Island, ordering the approaching Malays to withdraw from Zhoujia Island twenty miles away, and to send someone to the island to negotiate something.

The Malay fleet ignored the warnings on Zhoujia Island and continued to approach Zhoujia Island.

At the same time, the Japanese captain ordered the warships to fire on Zhoujia Island to cover the Malays rushing to Zhoujia Island.

So, five cannons rang out, and the artillery on five warships began shelling.

The shells landed on Zhoujia Island, but fortunately there were no casualties.

Before the second batch of shells could fly, Zhou Lin immediately issued an order: "All artillery, every three against one ship, take out the Malay warships and troop carriers." ”

As soon as Zhou Lin's words fell, the coastal defense guns that had been ordered in advance opened fire on a warship or troop transport.

As soon as the 30 coastal defense guns rang out, the captain of the Japanese army realized that he had hit a hard nail, and he couldn't go back if he didn't get it right.

The Japanese captain hurriedly ordered a retreat and withdrew twenty miles away.

But at this time, the Zhoujiadao Shanghai defense artillery had already shown its power.

After three shells were fired, all five military ships were hit and four sank. Only one military ship was seriously wounded and quickly retreated.

Because on this warship is the captain of the Japanese army.

As soon as the coastal defense cannon sounded, he knew that the situation was not right and immediately ordered a retreat.

That's it, the warship he was on was also hit by two bullets, but fortunately the main engine was not broken, so he was able to escape.

And troop carriers. Five ships were hit by coastal defense artillery.

The people on board were dead and wounded, and those who did not die jumped into the sea.

The smell of blood attracted the sea beasts, and the Malays, who were swimming alive, became the food for the sea beasts.

The other troop carriers hurriedly retreated twenty nautical miles.

Within 20 nautical miles is the coastal defense range of Zhoujia Island, and out of 20 nautical miles, Zhoujia Island will not be able to help them.

However, their wishful thinking was wrong.

Zhou Lin's second order was given: all artillery continued to attack all ships.

As a result, the thirty coastal defense guns called again, and the shouts shook the heavens and the earth.

More than a hundred shells flew towards the troop carriers and the only warship.

Zhoujia Island and nearby islands were shaken by the sound of artillery.

All the troop carriers were sunk, and only the one escaped twenty nautical miles.

As a result, the sea was full of Malays swimming in the water.

Among them, there are also quite a few Japanese, who are also following the dogs.

At this time, Cui Haitao appeared from two desert islands.

They aimed at the Malays in the sea, one at a time.

As for those Japanese, Zhou Lin warned Cui Haitao not to leave a gun hole on their bodies.

Ten minutes of aiming and firing, more than 3,000 Malays died on the sea.

"Don't fight! We surrender! Someone shouted on the sea.

"Keep training shooting!" Cui Haitao ordered.
