There is a waterway between Singapore and Malaya - the Straits of Johor, which is 50 kilometres long and about 1.2 to 4.8 metres wide.

The Straits of Johor is the only land route connecting Singapore and Malaya with the Singapore Causeway Hengduan Strait in the middle.

The 1,056-meter-long and 25.3-meter-wide Xinjo causeway is made entirely of granite, with a railway in the middle, a road on the west side, and a water pipe on the east side.

There is no water source in Singapore, and all the water sources on the island are supplied by water diversion from Johor.

At this moment, on the Xinjo causeway, dense island troops are pouring into Singapore like a tide.

A large number of cars on the highway are like a long queue, and the soldiers take the railways and water pipelines, although they are defeated all the way, and the chasing troops are like a tide, but the island army still maintains a good formation, and it can basically be called orderly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are elite troops on this basis.

The 119th Division had already entered the city yesterday, and all the soldiers on the Chang Ti were from the 18th Division, because the Chinese army did not pursue with all their might, so they retreated several hundred kilometers in seven days and successfully reached their destination.

On the beach of the Straits of Johor in Singapore, a long and narrow trench has been basically repaired, and the trench is densely packed with soldiers, with long guns and short artillery weapons erected, and the momentum of waiting for battle has been formed.

Headquarters of the 22nd Army of the Island Army.

The chief of staff, Governor Tada, hurriedly walked in, and when he heard the report of the soldiers at the door, the commander, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, raised his head from the crowd and asked urgently, "Tada-kun, is it going well on the dock?" ”

Governor Tada stepped forward quickly and said, "Fortunately, the air force did not bring much damage to the dock, but fortunately, Sakai-kun had the foresight to transfer most of the Fifth Flying Regiment to the secret airfield in the Riau Islands, otherwise this round of air raids may be able to destroy all the transport ships on the dock." ”

Sakai Takashi showed a smug smile on his face, and said: "Jiang Haoran is too blind, thinking that the locusts are all soft persimmons, let him pinch them, that is because he didn't meet me Sakai Takashi, but it's a pity that the base camp is determined to retreat, otherwise I will definitely let him look for teeth all over the ground in this battle." ”

There was a burst of laughter in the command.

At this time, a staff officer came in to report that the submarine in front had sent back news that the army had sent a large number of minesweepers, submarines, and helicopters to clear mines, and the submarine group asked whether it would obstruct it.

"Leave him alone, order the submarine group to withdraw, and leave a few ships to watch from afar."

Takashi Sakai waved his hand and ordered, he had arranged more than 3,000 mines in the entire strait, enough for them to toss, and by the time they cleared it, the locust army was already thousands of miles away.

The base camp's request was to withdraw from the battlefield with minimal casualties, and Takashi Sakai was reluctant to do much, and their time in Singapore was four to five days at most anyway.

According to the plan, they would empty all the equipment and supplies on Singapore within two days, and spend the remaining two or three days for retreat, and he did not believe that Jiang Haoran could have the ability to reach the sky and sweep away thousands of mines on the waterway in just five days.

As long as the air supremacy is still in the hands of the locust army, it will be impossible for the army to cross the Strait of Johor with the army, and he is confident that Takashi Sakai still has this.

After all, at this time, Singapore's strength was close to three divisions, and although the 18th Division only had two wings, they were all unconventional formations, and the strength was still close to 20,000, which was much less than the 119th Division, and the 18th and 19th Divisions were the most elite divisions of the Locust Army.

With a strong army force, coupled with the air force, shore-based artillery, and naval artillery support at critical moments, it is not a problem at all to hold on to a 50-kilometer defensive line.

Regarding the issue of Singapore's shore-based artillery fire, for a long time, it has been rumored in the historical circles that Singapore was lost because the British fortress guns were facing the waters of the Strait in the south, and they could not turn their guns to shoot at the land targets behind them, in fact, this is a miscommunication, in fact, most of the British fortress guns can turn to the north to bombard land targets, and the problem is that the ammunition prepared for them is armor-piercing shells used to hit warships, and there are very few high-explosive shells in reserve.

And the current island army actually has the same problem, they did not expect Jiang Haoran to copy their tactics and attack Singapore from the rear, so the storage of high-explosive bombs is very limited, but after all, they only need to hold on for a few days, and Takashi Sakai does not take this problem seriously.

"According to the report, the army has broken through to Johor, and the Ikeda brigade has sent a farewell message, and the blocking line has collapsed." A staff officer came in and shouted.

"Eight Tooth Road!" Takashi Sakai popped out a few words from between his teeth, then raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said in a cruel voice: "Order the soldiers and convoys on the Xinrou Causeway, they still have ten minutes to retreat, and in ten minutes, the Xinjo Causeway will explode." ”

It is only a long way from Johor to Singapore, and the Chinese army has an obvious sense of entering the city with a rout, and Takashi Sakai will not give them this opportunity, even if there are still soldiers on the causeway who have not retreated, even if there are still a large number of supplies and transport convoys in the rear, Takashi Sakai does not care.

As soon as the order was given, everyone in the command headquarters felt the chill of Sensen, there were at least two or three thousand soldiers in the eighteenth division in front of them, how many people could pass in ten minutes? Once the Xinrou causeway is destroyed, at least more than 2,000 people will be left on the other side, leaving a dead end, and it is very likely that they will die under the shells of their own people.

In the face of the rushing army, non-heavy artillery could not suppress their offensive posture, after all, they were equipped with tanks and helicopters, and the strength of their sudden attack should not be underestimated.

Although the officers in the command headquarters were a little unbearable, but no one said anything, everyone knew that this was also a helpless move, although they did not personally experience the battle of Jinan, but it was a very successful classic battle of Jiang Haoran, the officers in the column have all studied it, and know that it is powerful, and the locust army will never lose twice in the same battle.

Nine minutes later, the new soft long lift.

The dense island army and the convoy are still running desperately, and on the Singapore side, a lieutenant of the island army has begun to count the seconds with a microphone.

The order to detonate had already been given, and the soldiers on the causeway knew what their fate would be, and the soldiers who still had hope of being alive were still running with all their heart and soul in their last efforts, some of them jumped directly into the sea, and many more simply stopped running, kneeling on the ground and shouting "Long live the locusts".

"Three, two, one...... Initiation! Lieutenant Readsecond howled hoarsely, his distorted face covered with tears.

"Boom, boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another, and a fiery dragon instantly covered the entire Xinrou embankment.

The detonation device of the island army has not yet reached the remote control detonation technology of the Chinese army, it is all a line of connection, once the line is blown up by a shell in a certain place, it will lead to an incomplete explosion, so the island army would rather cost the lives of nearly 2,000 soldiers to blow up the embankment before the Chinese army appears.
