On May 1, the 32nd year of the Republic of China (1943), the Chinese expeditionary army successfully landed on Shah Alan Beach.

The ,,、th, 2nd, and 2nd Divisions, with the coordination of the U.S. Navy and the Air Divisions directly under them, swept across the Malay Peninsula with a devastating momentum, and the Japanese 5th Division stationed on the Malay Peninsula was defeated in successive battles, so on the 10th of the month, it abandoned Kuala Lumpur and lost Singapore.

At the same time, the Seventh Fleet of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy sailed from the Java Sea into the South China Sea and blocked the Strait of Malacca from the east, trapping more than 40,000 officers and soldiers of the Japanese army, more than 100,000 family members and Japanese nationals trapped in Singapore.

Johor Bahru, former commander of the expeditionary force.

Song Xilian and Huo Yuzhang are sighing in the war room, these more than half a month can be described as the most energetic days in their military careers, even in the Northern Expedition of that year, the two have never fought such a hearty pursuit battle, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, which was once arrogant on the battlefield of China, is now beaten into a lost dog!

Song Xilian took off his white gloves and threw them on the table, and said to Huo Yuzhang: "The 10th Division is nothing more than that!" "Who's to say it's not? Huo Yuzhang also said, "The 2nd and 22nd divisions of our group army have just been deployed in the front, and they haven't made much effort yet, and the xiǎo devils are already defeated, the key is that Liu Fengsheng's armored 2nd division and Niu Dagen's heavy artillery division have too fierce firepower, and the xiǎo caliber battle defense artillery and field artillery of the xiǎo devils can't resist it at all." ”

Song Xilian nodded, and said with regret: "Back then, on the Songhu battlefield, if the Central Army could also equip more than a dozen American mechanics, I'm afraid that the devil wouldn't even be able to open the country of the China!" "Brother Yin Guo (Song Xilian) is afraid to go through Yu Optimistic, in the Battle of Songhu that year, even though the Central Army had hundreds of American armor divisions, but if there is no strong logistics support, I am afraid that it will not be able to defeat the Japanese army!" Niu Dagen, the commander of the Heavy Artillery Division, had already strode in, followed by Liu Fengsheng, the commander of the 22nd Armored Division.

Song Xilian and Huo Yuzhang just nodded and did not refute Niu Dagen, because what Niu Dagen said was the truth.

In the past six months or so since the start of the landing on Shahalan Beach, the total amount of gasoline and diesel, artillery shells, bullets, and aviation fuel consumed by the Chinese expeditionary force has exceeded 10,000 tons, of which 155 -- . The shells of the heavy howitzer alone consumed more than 1 million rounds, and the bullets were hundreds of millions, which greatly exceeded the total amount of ammunition of Zhang Nian's national army in the one-year anti-Japanese war!

Without the support of Myanmar's strong basic industry, the Chinese Expeditionary Force would not have been able to fight such a rich battle!

It is said that modern warfare is about steel and manufacturing, Song Xilian and Huo Yuzhang believe it, without the support of massive steel and strong manufacturing industry, it is simply wishful thinking to win a large-scale modern war, and it is no wonder that in the first two years of the Anti-Japanese War, more than 100,000 or 200,000 Japanese troops were able to defeat millions of national troops.

After another moment, the four giants of the Chinese Expeditionary Force also arrived, and the deputy chief of staff, Mr. Zuo, immediately began to introduce the latest battle situation to the four giants: "As of 10 o'clock this morning, our army has completely cleared the remnants of the Japanese army on the peninsula, and successfully captured the two outlying islands of Ubin and Deguang, forming a flank attack on the main island of Singapore from the flank. ”

After saying this, Mr. Zuo said: "In addition, the Seventh Fleet of the US Navy has also entered the South China Sea from the Java Sea, thus cutting off the sea lanes between Singapore and the Indochinese Peninsula and the islands of Southeast Asia. ”

Yue Weihan asked in a deep voice: "Are there any overseas Chinese on the island of Singapore?" Before the Japanese occupation of Singapore, most of the overseas Chinese had returned to China or evacuated from the Japanese occupation of Singapore, and carried out a brutal massacre of the overseas Chinese who were still stranded, and about 8,000 overseas Chinese were killed, including thousands of old people, children and women. ”

The atmosphere in the war room suddenly became solemn, and the generals of the national army present also changed their faces.

In essence, Japan is an extremist country, and the most direct manifestation is its extreme disregard for life, not only for the lives of its own soldiers, but also for the lives of soldiers and civilians of other countries.

"The blood debt will one day be repaid with blood!" After a long time, Yue Weihan finally put down a cruel sentence.

Mr. Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The General Staff has carried out a deduction, if the battle to seize the island is launched in the near future, it will inevitably be resisted to the death by the Japanese army, and if it is besieged for three months, when the Japanese army on the island runs out of food, the resistance of our army will be much weaker, however, the hundreds of thousands of aborigines on the island and tens of thousands of Allied prisoners of war are afraid of ......", Mr. Zuo did not continue, but everyone present already understood what he meant.

Stilwell took off the pipe in his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Yue Weihan, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words that spit out into his mouth back into his stomach, the old man in the United States originally wanted to persuade Yue Weihan to try to rescue nearly 100,000 British prisoners of war on the island, but after thinking about it, it is not easy to rescue such a large number of British prisoners of war, after all, the miracle of the Bataan Peninsula cannot be replicated.

What's more, the 20,000 U.S. officers and soldiers trapped on the Bataan Peninsula were real American citizens, while the nearly 100,000 prisoners of war captured by the Japanese in Singapore were all natives of India, Australia, or Burma.

Di Gong, Wei Lihuang and other senior generals of the expeditionary force also focused their eyes on Yue Weihan.

If the island seizure war is launched immediately, the casualties of the civilians and British prisoners of war on the island can be minimized, but the expeditionary force will have a large number of casualties, and if the island is besieged for several months before the island is captured, the casualties of the expeditionary force will be greatly reduced, but the civilians and prisoners of war on the island will starve to death in large numbers.

For others, this is a difficult choice.

But for Yue Weihan, there is no need for a choice at all.

In the era before Yue Weihan's crossing, the indigenous people of Southeast Asian countries did not do much to be sorry for the people of China, so Yue Weihan never had a good impression of the brown-skinned natives living in Southeast Asia, and if it was in ancient times, Yue Weihan did not even mind carrying out a cruel genocidal policy against these indigenous peoples.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yue Weihan turned to Stilwell and said, "General Stilwell, please call General Nimitz immediately and ask the Seventh Fleet to cooperate with our army to completely blockade Singapore!" ”

Speaking of which, PS Yue Weihan went to the left again! "Order the Operations Department to urgently contact all agents lurking in Singapore, carry out all-out espionage warfare, and destroy the war potential of the Japanese army in Singapore as much as possible!" , Singapore, North Sai Island.

A xiǎo sampan took advantage of the night sè silently approached, and the Japanese gunboats patrolling in the distance did not notice the arrival of this sampan, and although the Japanese artillery tower on the coastline was equipped with two searchlights, it was also blocked by dense coconut groves and banana trees, and the approach of this xiǎo sampan was also not found.

The man on the sampan quickly connected with the agent who was picking up on the shore.

When Gao Jingwu strode on the beach, the person in charge of the Singapore Special Branch of the Operations Department had already been waiting there with several henchmen, the person in charge of the Singapore Special Branch was named Shimada Yoshiro, who was a Japanese soldier himself, in this world, there are scum in any nation, and the Chinese country has Han Jiān, and the Japanese also has a Japanese Jiān.

"Sit." , Shimada Yoshiro saluted to Gao Jingwu.

After Ma Zhankui went to Xinjiang to meet the Soviet experts, the work of the Operations Department was temporarily taken care of by Gao Jingwu, Gao Jingwu is a genius who deciphers the code, but he also has excellent talent in spy work, coupled with the influence of Ma Zhankui, he can be regarded as the second person in the special service system of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

"Mr. Shimada." Gao Jingwu shook hands with Shimada Yoshiro and said in a deep voice, "Are all the work to be done by Jiāo?" ”

"It's all ready." Shimada Yoshiro said solemnly, "Just wait for the people here to arrive and start acting immediately." ”

"Good." Gao Jingwu nodded happily and said, "My people will be here soon, and we will start acting tonight, and we must destroy all the targets selected in advance!" "Hello! Shimada Yoshiro is accustomed to xìng's sudden tightening of his feet.

Singapore, Japanese Command.

As soon as the day dawned, Lieutenant General Saburo Takehara, commander of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, walked into Yamashita Fengwen's office with a calm face, and immediately retracted his feet and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have just received news that six rice shops, nine civilian warehouses, and two combat readiness warehouses have been attacked by agents of China, and more than 6,000 tons of war readiness materials have been burned!" ”

"What!?" Yamashita Fengwen Huo Ran got up and said in disbelief, "More than 6,000 tons of war materials were burned? The total amount of war readiness materials that Singapore has in reserve is only more than 10,000 tons, which can barely supply the needs of 40,000 officers and soldiers on the island and more than 100,000 Japanese expatriates for two months. Could it be that the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire went hungry and bayonets to fight against the Chinese people?

"Hello, my incompetence." Saburo Takehara bowed his head suddenly, his fair face already flushed.

"What the hell is going on?" , Yamashita Fengwen waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's just the rice shop in the city and the civilian warehouse, why was even the combat readiness warehouse attacked by the agents of China?" Are the people of the Southern Organs, the Special High-tech and the Gendarmerie all impossible? Didn't they get the slightest hint of wind beforehand? ”

"The southern organ is not a decoration, but it is almost the same." , Saburo Takehara shook his head disdainfully, and then said, "As for the gendarmerie, it is a high-level jiān from within, and the deputy captain of the gendarmerie, Yoshiro Shimada, has betrayed the empire and the emperor as early as two years ago, and secretly joined the anti-war alliance organized by the Shina Masa, and the two war readiness warehouses were attacked this time, and it was because Shimada Yoshiro threaded the needle from it that the Shina agents succeeded!" "Yaga. Yamashita Fengwen was furious and said, "How can there be such scum in the empire? Shame, shame! Saburo Takehara said in a cruel voice: "Your Excellency Commander, I have ordered the gendarmerie to search for Shimada Yoshiro all over the island, this traitor will definitely not be able to escape, and when this traitor is caught, I will definitely make him kneel in front of the portrait of the emperor and apologize." ”

"I'll give you the matter of hunting down the traitors." Yamashita Fengwen nodded, quickly recovered from the rage, and then asked in a deep voice, "Takehara-kun, the attack on the combat readiness warehouse has greatly destroyed the war potential of the imperial army, has the staff of the 5th Division conducted a war game deduction for this emergency?" ”

"Hello." Saburo Takehara bowed his head suddenly, and immediately replied in a deep voice, "The General Staff of our division has already conducted a war game deduction on this emergency situation, and according to the results of the General Staff's deduction, the Chinese army only needs to maintain an ordinary scale raid and harassment war, and in twenty days the food on the island will be eaten up, and after forty days, the ammunition of the imperial army will also be exhausted!" "The food will be eaten up in twenty days, and the ammunition will be exhausted in forty days? Hearing this, Yamashita Fengwen was awe-inspiring, and immediately turned to Shiro Takehara and said, "Takehara-kun, immediately call the Southern Army Headquarters, asking Your Excellency the temple to organize naval transportation at all costs and urgently send red tons of grain and 2,000 tons of arms to Singapore at night!" ”

"Hello." , Shiro Takehara bowed his head suddenly, and immediately took the order away.

Sichuan, Weiqing.

When the Chinese expeditionary force came to the city of Singapore, the Japanese army in Central China had also come to the city of Chongqing!

The evolution of the war situation in Central China was almost exactly the same as Okamura Ninji's prediction, only ten days after the start of the war, more than 50 "jīng rui" divisions of the national army arranged in the front line collapsed on the whole line, the Japanese army took advantage of the victory to pursue, the national army suddenly collapsed, and the 3rd division was already under the city of Chongqing!

There was already a rumbling cannon outside Chongqing, and the city became a pot of porridge.

Whether it was a high-ranking general of the Nationalist Army, a high-ranking official of the Nationalist Government, or a celebrity from all walks of life living in Chongqing, they did not expect that the Japanese army would come to the city of Chongqing in such a short period of time.

Chairman Chiang's residence has also become a lump.

Mrs. Jiang cried with rain, and said to Chairman Jiang: "Darling, come with me?" "Madam, while the Japanese invaders have not yet entered the city, you should leave quickly." Chairman Jiang shook his head resolutely, "As for me, I don't want to go anywhere, five years ago I have lost the capital Nanjing, but I can't lose the capital Chongqing anymore, even if the Japanese army will inevitably enter the city in the end, then I have to step on the corpse of someone Jiang." "Darling............" Mrs. Jiang burst into tears, and immediately left quickly under the half-dragged half-pull of her brother Han Ziwen.

Looking at Madame Chiang's fading shadow, Chairman Chiang sighed for a long time, and suddenly felt a trace of loneliness, as the so-called Wen Death Admonition, Martial Death War, and the Death of the Monarch, although he is not the monarch, but he is also the supreme leader of the Nationalist Government, and naturally he should also die for the country and the nation
