Chapter 544: Angry and Corrupt

"Yes, in the hands of the British. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info do you have any way to get the British to let us enter the port to refuel? Wang Liang thought about it, yes, before 1941, the control of Singapore had always been in the hands of the British.

At the end of 1941, Britain completely underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, until Japan took Singapore by surprise, a small jewel in the crown of the British Empire.

Singapore's unique geographical location at the gateway to the Strait of Malacca, the main shipping route between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, makes it a battleground for soldiers. As the political and economic center of Britain in Southeast Asia, Japan had to take Singapore in order to completely drive the British out of Southeast Asia.

Singapore has a dense overseas Chinese population, and it is the center of the anti-Japanese movement of overseas Chinese in Nanyang. The "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Relief Association for Refugees from the Motherland" led by Tan Kah Kee mobilized 8 million overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to raise a huge amount of foreign exchange worth more than 400 million yuan for China.

At this time, the overseas Chinese in Singapore who fell into the tiger's mouth were jealous and frantically retaliated against Japan because they had previously vigorously assisted China in resisting Japan and organized volunteers to resist bravely.

On 15 February 1942, Singapore was occupied by the invading Japanese army.

The day after Pearl Harbor, Japanese troops landed at Kota Bharu in northern Malaya, and only 55 days after the war began, Japanese troops occupied all of Malaya.

On February 15, 1942, the commander-in-chief of the British army, Versette Blanc, announced the unconditional surrender, and more than 130,000 British, Australian, Indian and other defenders were reduced to prisoners, which was the greatest catastrophe in British military history (the Battle of Singapore).

Japan renamed her "Shonan Island" after taking over Singapore. From February 18 to 25 of the same year, in order to retaliate against the Xinghua Volunteers and the Chinese who had previously supported China's resistance against Japan, the Japanese army carried out a purge operation in the name of "Great Inspection".

In the end, the Japanese army captured more than 20,000 people, most of whom were taken to the suburbs or remote Changi and Punggol beaches to be shot en masse, and the rest were sent to Thailand for hard labor.

The Japanese army also blackmailed overseas Chinese in Nanyang and demanded that they hand over 50 million yuan in payment.

The reason given by Yamashita Fengwen at that time was: "Overseas Chinese supported the Chongqing government to resist Japan, and this money was the money you paid to atone for your sins against the Japanese army." ”

After more than three years of suffering, the people of Singapore were happy with the surrender of Japan.

Finally, on September 12, 1945, a surrender ceremony was held at the Government House. According to incomplete statistics, about 20,000 to 50,000 Chinese were brutally killed during the Japanese occupation for more than three years (Singapore Massacre).

After the war, the remains of those massacred during the Japanese occupation were found in various parts of Singapore. The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) could not bear to let the bones be scattered in the wilderness, and in the same year set up a committee for the aftermath of the remains of those who died during the Japanese occupation to investigate, excavate and bury them.

The memorial was inaugurated on 15 February 1967, and every year on 15 February, a memorial service is held here for the civilians who died.

Wang Liang estimates that the general direction of this history should not change, but the executor may not necessarily be Yamashita Fengwen.

Through the monitoring of the radio station of the Japanese warship, Wang Liang already knew that something had happened to the old guy Yamashita Fengfumi.

This is likely to become the thirteenth drop of blood in Wang Liang's career, the thirteenth kill, that is, the thirteenth Japanese general who died directly or indirectly at the hands of Wang Liang.

However, Wang Liang is not embarrassed by this now, and the current priority is to solve the problem of gold placement.

"Yes, I know a British brigadier general very well, we used to talk about the arms business together, to be precise, we are very good friends. If the Brits in Singapore give us enough time to explain, I don't think so. "Abdul is like a jack of all trades, and there are acquaintances everywhere he goes, which makes Wang Liang feel very relieved.

"Okay, I'll go to Singapore, I'll see you, Dürer." Wang Liang patted Abdul's shoulder, and at the same time was really happy for his subordinate Abdul.

His brothers were able to settle all things in China, but when they went abroad, they were confused.

Fortunately, now I finally met an old driver who eats well all over the world, Abdul of the House of Arms, which is really lucky.

With Abdul's words, Wang Liang didn't have to worry about the Japanese warship following behind his ass.

When you reach Nagada in the Strait of Malacca, you will definitely encounter British warships.

Wang Liang didn't believe that the Japanese were so bold now, and dared to follow all the way into the Strait of Malacca to fight face-to-face with the British Navy.

The Japanese aren't crazy enough to that extent, are they?

Wang Liang personally came to the wheelhouse, and according to the radar positioning, the Awa Maru has now sailed out of Mindoro Island, less than 50 nautical miles away from the Nansha Islands. (1 nautical mile equals 1852 meters)

Seeing that the Japanese warship was still in pursuit, Wang Liang continued to give orders to the Japanese first mate to speed up again.

But even so, they still couldn't shake off the Japanese warships.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

dong! Boom! Boom!

Just as Wang Liang was about to rest for a while and drink saliva, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently as if it had touched a reef.

Wang Liang was unsteady and almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Wang Liang hurriedly asked.

"Commander, the three ships of the little devils rushed over and collided with our boat, and it seems that they want to block our way. You see! The devil soldiers are getting ready to land our ship. Wei Dayong ran over to report in a hurry.

"Damn, what are you doing so stunned? Pick up arms and do it for Lao Tzu! What about mortars, give Lao Tzu a dog hit. Wang Liang shook his head to make himself feel more comfortable, the impact just now made his head touch the hull of the ship, almost dying of pain.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dada, dada, dada......

The angry devils saw that the Awa Maru was sailing farther and farther away, and was about to leave the sea area under their control, and immediately took measures.

Prepare to intercept the Awa Maru by ramming and blocking several warships, and then have the soldiers force the Awa Maru to clear the enemy from the freighter, and finally seize control of the Awa Maru.

Firefights, fierce firefights.

The devils who landed on the deck were beaten back wave after wave.

The brothers of Abdul were bombarded with mortars on the Japanese warships.

The aquatic life was not idle, and jumped into the sea with a few packs of tn.t time bombs.

This is the task assigned to him by Wang Liang, to plant the TN.T time bomb package at the bow and tail of the ship or on the underwater sides of the whole ship.

The fuel tanks of warships are generally here.
