Chapter 906: The Capture of Singapore

Now that almost none of the Asian fleets have escaped, all of them have been captured, so Ding Ruchang and Luo Bicheng are naturally not in such a hurry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The fleet stayed where it was and waited for the rear troop carriers to come up, and in only two hours, all the rear troop carriers had caught up.

Keynes in the crowd looked at the big heads, I drip, twenty large troop carriers, each with no less than hundreds of people, this is especially the capture of the entire Malay Peninsula can be a try!

Are these people really crazy? It's crazy!

If it was only a failure to attack China and the loss of troops, it would be within the acceptable range of the British Empire, and the British would have failed in local small wars, but if Malacca and the Malay Peninsula were lost, it would definitely not be something that the British Empire could bear! You must know that Malacca is the throat of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and its location is unparalleled in the world!

However, it is too late to say anything now, it was originally just a routine cruise, who would have thought that the Shandong Naval Division, which had already gone to the Taiwan Strait to block the main force of the Asian fleet, would suddenly appear here?

Thinking of this, Keynes was suddenly shocked, he had already reacted, after all, he was a veteran of the battlefield, so he naturally understood, and he made a feint to go to the Taiwan Strait first, and then suddenly the fleet turned around and rushed to the Malay Peninsula. Even if you find out, you won't be able to convey the news in a short time, after all, there is no wireless telegraph in this era!

Keynes was full of bitterness, he was tricked, he was tricked by others, he transferred the main force, and then attacked his lair with all his might, where is there still the good fruit of the British Empire to eat?

The Shandong Naval Division joined the two brigades of the Provisional First Division and rushed quickly towards the Strait of Malacca.

In addition to the Asian Fleet and the Coast Guard, there is basically no other defense force in the Strait of Malacca, and the army of the British Empire is all stationed in the interior of the Malay Peninsula, and the entire north shore of the Strait of Malacca is not stationed at all.

The British were destined to suffer a big loss of pride this time, and they usually thought that there was an Asian fleet, and no one dared to mess with it, but now they finally ran into a hard stubble.

Shandong sailors cut the waves all the way to the easternmost point of the Strait of Malacca, Singapore, and came to the port of Singapore.

On the Singapore pier, the infantry regiments stationed in Singapore were already stupid, and they originally thought that the Asian fleet led by Keynes had returned, but who knew that it was not, and the black holes of the guns were aimed at the Singapore docks, obviously to attack!

"Quick! Defense, prepare for defense, immediately send a telegram to the Governor's Palace, Singapore has encountered an enemy attack, request for support, request for urgent support! ”

The infantry commander Jonar roared frantically and began to order the artillery company to advance forward and prepare for battle!

At this moment, more than a dozen warships all surrounded and launched a fierce attack on Singapore!

More than a dozen battleships, that is nearly a hundred guns, more than ten times more powerful than an artillery company, where can a small artillery company deal with it?

Shells rained down on the pier of Singapore, destroying all the positions of the artillery company in an instant, and the infantry of a regiment could not stand firm under the threat of powerful artillery, and had to retreat to the rear!

The whole Singapore harbor is in chaos, this is the world's best seaport, there are countless large ships moored on weekdays, who would have thought that suddenly the war came, there was no preparation at all, and the ships desperately rushed all the way to the depths of the strait!

Of course, this is also the steamer that is moving or has not stalled, and as for the steamer that has stalled, they are now desperate, and can only pray that God will not let the shells fall on the merchant ship, otherwise, it will definitely be a heavy casualty!

Ding Ruchang and Luo Bicheng can't manage so much, taking advantage of the chaos to seize the Singapore seaport is the most important, nothing is more important than this!

Luo Bicheng gave an order, and the troop carrier behind quickly approached the harbor and launched a landing directly, which is different from Rongcheng Bay, Rongcheng Bay is still a beach, and there is no wharf at all; It is not comparable to Yanshan County, which is only a small-scale wharf, but the wharf of Singapore Seaport can dock at least hundreds of giant ships at the same time, which is one of the best seaports in Asia, and twenty troop carriers can land almost at the same time!

Of course, there were not so many troops to carry out the landing, Luo Bicheng personally led the first brigade to Singapore, and the strength of just one brigade was enough to control Singapore!

The Shandong Navy Fleet desperately sent the shells to the harbor, causing a big mess in Singapore City, seeing that the First Brigade had begun to land, it could completely suppress the other party, Ding Ruchang gave an order, and the Shandong Navy Division did not stop at all, protecting the Second Brigade and began to rush towards the depths of the Strait of Malacca!

The second target, Kuala Lumpur, the largest port city in the Malay Peninsula!

From Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, but the distance of three or four hundred kilometers, for the Shandong Sailor, that is, most of the time, you can arrive, all the way, full speed ahead, Shandong Sailor rushed towards Kuala Lumpur again!

Kuala Lumpur, which is also home to the Governor-General's Palace, is now Malaysia's Governor-General Walcott, who has received information about the raid on Singapore.

Walcott's face was pale, and more than a dozen warships attacked Singapore at the same time, but Singapore only had an infantry regiment, and it was definitely not anyone's opponent!

"Cairns, what about Cairns! Damn, the straits are under enemy attack, where did this guy run away with the fleet, bastard! Bastards to the extreme! ”

Walcott roared, "Quick, immediately order the two infantry regiments of Pekan to rush to the aid of Singapore, must not let the opponent occupy Singapore, order the Taiping infantry brigade to rush towards Kuala Lumpur to protect the safety of Kuala Lumpur!" Hurry, hurry! ”

Walcott gave orders one after another and hurriedly issued them, but at this time, Walcott only reacted that only these forces on the Malay Peninsula could not be sure to withstand the opponent's attack! Damn, it's when the Malay Peninsula defenses are at their weakest!

"Immediately send a telegram to General Benzemin, requesting support from the French army in Indochina, requesting support from the French army in Indochina!"
