When it comes to playing political tricks, the British are absolutely invincible. Over the years, how many powerful countries and heroes have been toyed with by British gentlemen and applauded, and they have been rectified to death!

In the recent period, Gao Yang's performance is too strong. This made all the great powers and countries have a deep fear of him in their hearts.

His army swept the mighty polar bears almost one-sidedly to the north. Naval aviation, for its part, struck the naval hegemon the British in the south!

Gao Yang's strong strength surprised everyone, how did he do it? Doubts are followed by deep fear!

The Great Powers' fear of Gao Yang gave the British, who were good at playing diplomacy, a good opportunity.

If the British were given enough time, they might actually be able to pull out a global coalition. According to the British idea, at that time, Gao Yang, who was against the whole world, could not avoid the end of defeat no matter what.

It's just that, although the literal plan is always the best. However, once the monster of war is released from the cage, it will never be transformed by human will!

The Japanese mercenaries on the island of Java are going well. The fighting spirit was extremely tenacious, and the Japanese mercenaries, who were not afraid of death, swept the island of Java with almost brutal combat methods. Like locusts, they approached Batavia, the most important city of the Dutch in the East Indies.

These Japanese mercenaries, who had little decent supplies, simply relied on feeding the enemy to sustain the battle. They swept across the East Indies like a swarm of locusts.

And those Dutch colonial troops with extremely low combat effectiveness and low will to fight are no match for these battle-hardened cold-blooded butchers.

The Dutch, who were clearly superior in numbers and weaponry, were beaten and fled by Japanese mercenaries who were far inferior to them.

At the same time, Gaoyang's newly established Southern Operational Cluster began a large-scale attack on the Nanyang area.

The forward headquarters of the Southern Operational Group was located in Pontianak. The troops mobilized from all over the country were continuously sent to the Nanyang area to assemble through a large number of passenger and cargo ships.

The limited maritime capacity was used entirely to transport troops. As for the logistics supply, it was all handled by Gao Yang alone.

When the British originally calculated Gaoyang's shipping strength, they accurately calculated that Gaoyang's existing shipping capacity could only support 100,000 officers and soldiers in ocean-going operations at most. However, when the attack was launched, the British were surprised by the steady stream of troops!

Where did they know that Dao Gaoyang has a fixed point against the sky, time and space shuttle, and a large storage space!

The Southern Operational Cluster has one artillery division, seven mechanized infantry divisions, and 12 provisional light infantry divisions. Plus a variety of direct subordinate troops and logistical transport agencies. The total strength of the entire southern combat cluster is more than 300,000 people!

And that's just the first wave! There are still plenty of reserves on home that are ready to fight!

After the arrival of the Navy's Grand Fleet in Nanyang, Gao Yang, who had already arrived at the Pontianak Advance Headquarters, immediately ordered the Southern Combat Group to immediately launch a full-scale operation against all parts of Nanyang.

The multi-pronged forces landed on the islands of the South Seas within a few days. The main target of the operation was Singapore, the choke point from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean.

Singapore, which had been hit hard by naval aviation, was already panicking at this time. Everyone knew that Koyang's army would definitely attack Singapore, and the momentum of the rain before the big war made everyone feel furious.

Especially after the remnants of the British Far East Fleet were withdrawn to Trincomalee, all the British who were still stranded in Singapore seemed to be crazy and wanted to escape from this city that was about to face a large-scale attack!

The evil deeds of the Japanese mercenaries on the island of Java have been processed into various versions of the demon landing on the earth after they have been transmitted to Singapore.

In addition, Gao Yang's large-scale arrest of the British, which was rumored to be the capture of them to be coolies, and all of them were killed. This has plunged Singapore into chaos.

Although the Far East Fleet retreated, the British did not abandon Singapore, a strategically important city.

After detecting that Koyang's army had begun to assemble in Pontianak, the British commander of the Singapore Fortress, Craig. Lieutenant General Parker began to strengthen the defenses on the Malay Peninsula. in response to the onslaught of onslaught.

Singapore is his core defensive position.

The forces responsible for the defense of Singapore were the British garrison of the Singapore Fortress, as well as troops retreating from Hong Kong and troops from Australia.

The main forces of this were the 18th Infantry Division of the British Army, the Singapore Garrison, four infantry divisions of the Anglo-Indian Army, and two infantry divisions of Australia. The total number of troops is more than 100,000!

The first-stage operational plan formulated by Gao Yang's General Staff was not complicated. The first was the landing on the Malay Peninsula, after which the troops split up. Attack Thailand all the way north, and after occupying Thailand, advance in the direction of Burma and India with troops in Yunnan.

The other troops went directly south and swept the Malay Peninsula, and the last target was Singapore!

In the planning of Gaoyang. The whole of Nanyang Future is a huge back garden. In a country like Thailand, which has once committed large-scale massacres of overseas Chinese, Gao Yang has no intention of letting it go at all!

And Indochina in the hands of the French. If the French dare to come together with the British, then attack directly.

If the French were strictly neutral, they would not be involved in this matter. Then Gao Yang was ready to give some benefits after the war and exchange Indochina back.

As for the natives of Nanyang who survived the bloody massacre of Japanese mercenaries, the ending arranged for them by Gao Yang was those desert islands in the South Pacific! Send the natives up and leave them to fend for themselves.

After putting the latest batch of military supplies into the military warehouse outside the port of Pontianak, Gao Yang went to the advance headquarters of the Southern Combat Cluster in the city.

Gao Yang, with a cold expression and firm steps, strode into the war room. After casually saluting the officers who saluted Qi Brush, they came to the map and looked at the map with various arrows. After a moment's silence, he asked in a low voice, "Is it starting now?" ”

Gao Yang personally served as the commander of the Southern Operational Group, while the post of chief of staff was held by Lieutenant General Jiang Fangzhen, former director of the Baoding Army Military Academy.

Lieutenant General Chiang Fangzhen was originally the chief of the general staff of Yushuai. After Yushuai announced his surrender to Gaoyang, Lieutenant General Jiang Fangzhen, who was famous in the time and space where Gaoyang lived, began to rise to the top!

He first went to the command class of senior generals at the Nanjing Army Military Academy for a period of time, and then was transferred to the General Staff Headquarters as deputy chief of the General Staff. After launching the Southern Campaign in Gaoyang and forming the Southern Combat Group, he was transferred by Gaoyang as the chief of staff.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Jiang Fangzhen, who is known as the first military strategist of the Republic of China, is standing beside Gao Yang.

After hearing Gao Yang's question, Lieutenant General Jiang Fangzhen pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "According to the latest battle report, the troops of the first attack wave have approached the target area. At the moment, the Navy is preparing for artillery fire. The planned landing time is an hour later. ”

"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction, took the tea sent by the attendant, took a sip, and said in a deep voice, "After the troops go ashore, they must pay attention to consolidating the beachhead. Although the British had little defense over there. But, after all, this is a large-scale landing operation. We have no experience, we have to be careful, and the most important thing is to be steady. ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Lieutenant General Jiang Fangzhen's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I will go and send a telegram to the troops now, ordering them to act cautiously." ”

Kota Bharu is an important city on the Malay Peninsula. To the north are the important cities of Pattani and Songkhla, Thailand. All the way south is Singapore.

At this moment, the 1st Reconnaissance Fleet, led by the battlecruiser USS Kongo, which had returned to the battlefield, was escorting the landing fleet loaded with the Army's 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division to launch a landing operation against Kota Bharu.

Because of the lack of maritime capacity, the Southern Combat Cluster could only send at most one integrated mechanized division to the beachhead in a landing operation.

Eight 356-mm cannons aboard the King Kong were bombarding improvised fortifications on the shore defended by Anglo-Indian troops.

The roaring heavy shells slammed down on the improvised positions with a screeching sound.

The huge explosion kicked up a huge amount of dust and flew hundreds of meters in the air! Within a radius of 100 meters from the explosion site, both soldiers, fortifications and various equipment were bombed into slag.

The huge roar and shock wave were like dull war drums, beating the hearts of the Anglo-Indian troops on the shore, who were already close to dispersion. Let these Anglo-Indian troops, who are good for nothing but bullying civilians on weekdays, let out a heart-rending roar of despair.

The British soldiers who served as officers were also uneasy in their hearts. However, they were trained professional soldiers, and before they received the order to retreat, they were still doing their best to punch and kick, whipping the Indian soldiers with the butts and belts of their rifles, to prevent the possible collapse of these cowards.

It's just that the prestige of these officers was rapidly lost under the bombardment of heavy shells.

When the Kongo's main cannon fired the fifth salvo. The Indian soldiers, who had long been demoralized, finally couldn't resist the fear of death in their hearts, and the whole line collapsed.

The pistol-wielding British officers knocked down batch after batch of Indian soldiers. But once a crash happens, there's no one to stop it!

Nearly 1,000 Indian soldiers stationed on the shoreline were like the waters of the ebbing tide, abandoning their weapons and equipment, holding their headsaches in their hands, and fleeing towards the rear with their feet spread.

After the collapse of the soldiers, the British officers looked at the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division approaching in the distance, all sorts of heavy shells whizzing overhead. After ignoring it helplessly, he had to run away with the soldiers.

The already impregnable coastal defense position suddenly became undefended!

The more than 10,000 officers and men of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division made the landing operation very smooth and hardly encountered any large-scale resistance. It was a large-scale, well-prepared armed march. (To be continued......)
