In July of the 32nd year of the Republic of China (1943), the Sino-Japanese War, which lasted for 6 years, finally reached a watershed!

Okamura Ningci's plan for the Great Southwest Battle was decided, and the four major field armies of the Nationalist Army took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the main force of the Japanese army in Central China left Ménggu and trapped in Xiangxi, while the puppet security army and the Han Jiān maintenance meeting in the provinces of Central China were all in order, and the Japanese garrison was killed or expelled one after another, and at the same time, the Japanese army in Nanyang in Singapore had also reached the end of its rope.

The blockade of Singapore by the Chinese Army and Air Force and the US Navy and Air Force has lasted for more than two months, and the Japanese army's stockpiles of food, goods, and ammunition have been exhausted.

Due to the lack of food, hundreds of military families or Japanese expatriates die of starvation every day, and due to the lack of products, once the Japanese officers and soldiers are injured, they can basically only wait for death.

As for the concentration camp where British prisoners of war were held on the outlying islands, it has become a hell on earth!

Since the siege of Singapore, the Japanese army directly locked up the concentration camp, regardless of the life and death of British prisoners of war.

Up to now, nearly 100,000 British prisoners of war, most of them have starved to death, and less than 5,000 have survived, and the reason why these 5,000 people have survived is because they devoured the corpses of their comrades-in-arms.

By July 77, the ration supply of all the families of the army and the Japanese diaspora was interrupted, even Yamashita Fengfumi's wife NV was no exception, and the daily rations of the Japanese officers and soldiers were also reduced to half a biscuit per day, which was a drop in the bucket for the young and strong man.

The final moment is finally coming.

Pasir Panjang, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

Yamashita sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, wiping his saber attentively and carefully with a white scarf, which was rewarded by Emperor Hirohito after he had just returned from observing the "blitzkrieg" in Germany, and there were more than a dozen imperial generals who went to Germany to observe, but Emperor Hirohito only gave him a saber.

Facing the cold light emitted from the blade of the saber, "Yamashita Fengwen couldn't help but get drunk."

On the low table in front of Yamashita Fengfumi, the paperweight quietly pressed the promotion order just sent by the Japanese army base camp, Emperor Hirohito has officially issued an edict, promoting Yamashita Fumi to the Imperial Army General, and concurrently serving as the commander of the Singapore Front, correspondingly, Emperor Hirohito also asked Yamashita Fumi to lead his troops to resist to the death "to be an example of the Imperial Army!"

To put it bluntly, the general's promotion order is the consolation award of the Japanese army base camp to Yamashita Fengwen, hoping that he will not create a historical precedent for leading the Japanese army to surrender, in Taihang Mountain, although there was also the first sword division, more than 10,000 reserve soldiers surrendered to the Chinese army", but the Japanese army base camp refused to admit this.

Johor Bahru, a company position of the National Army.

The gang leader carried two large buckets full of pigs and cabbage noodles to the position, and the soldiers of the national army, who were already hungry, suddenly rushed up, and the old gang leader army lit a pot of dry tobacco, and said with a smile: "Don't rob, brothers, don't rob, everyone has a share" enough, hehe ............

In less than a moment, each officer and soldier of the country was given a steel helmet full of pigs and cabbage noodles, and then each found a corner to squat, and ate deliciously, and suddenly "the sound of Kuang Dang Kuang Dang eating sounded in the trench, and the scene was like a hundred and ten pigs fighting for food in the pigsty."

Across the narrow Straits of Johor, across the Japanese position in Woodlands is the Woodlands.

After a while, a soldier of the Japanese Army crawled out of the trench and looked at the north shore of the strait stupidly, "I didn't know that I had fallen under the guns of the snipers of the national army, and only heard two gunshots from the horn" The two Japanese soldiers had been shot in the head and fell down without saying a word.

However, the remaining Japanese soldiers were unaware of it, and still stared straight and stupidly at the north bank.

For these hungry Japanese soldiers, death has even become a kind of relief, rather than living in such pain, it is better to embrace death on the battlefield, they all say that death is terrible, but in this world, some things are really more terrible than death, and the torture of hunger is one of them!

The National Army snipers on the north shore also seemed to realize something and did not continue to shoot.

More and more Japanese soldiers crawled out of the trenches and stared straight and stupidly at the north bank.

Suddenly, a poignant Japanese song suddenly sounded on the position of the National Army on the north bank, and a Japanese soldier of the Anti-War Alliance stood up from the position and sang into the microphone one of the most familiar folk songs of "Japan".

The young soldier's singing voice is very tactful, lingering, and has the poignancy that is characteristic of Japanese songs.

Singing and singing, the young soldier was already in tears, he thought of the cherry blossoms in his hometown, the childhood sweetheart in the neighboring village, and the mother who was waiting for his return by the Xiǎo Bridge at the entrance of the village, however, this cruel war made it difficult for him to return to his home, and it was difficult for him to recognize his relatives.

Soon, the Japanese soldiers on the south bank also hummed along.

Many Japanese soldiers lost control of their emotions and began to cry as they sang.

The poignant singing was heard far away in the position, almost all the soldiers were aroused homesickness, and even the Japanese guard post at the front of the position was infected, humming along with it, while holding the rifle and crying like rain, unaware that an anti-war coalition of the "Japanese" surrender army had bitten the reed pipe and quietly swam across from the north shore.

The day soon darkened, but the Japanese song concert on the battlefield continued.

In a dark corner, the surrender army of the Anti-War Alliance quietly went ashore and quickly put on the Japanese military uniform they were carrying.

When the Japanese commander of the Woodlands Front, Inoue Daisa, returned from a meeting at the division headquarters, he was shocked to find that the officers and soldiers of the unit not only walked out of the trenches and sang, but also completely dissipated their fighting spirit.

At this time, if the Chinese army launched an attack across the sea, the Japanese defense line in Woodlands would definitely collapse at the touch of a button!

"Yaga Yaru!" Inoue Osa is like a bull that has gone crazy, running back and forth frantically on the position" while waving the saber in his hand while driving away the Japanese officers and soldiers who were standing on the edge of the trench and singing, "Go back, give me all back" If you don't go back to the trench, you will all die, you will die......

However, no one paid any attention to Inoue Daisa.

The vast majority of Japanese officers and soldiers just looked at Inoue Daisa with wooden eyes.

In the crowd, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Go home, I want to go home!" ”

Suddenly, the war-weariness of the Japanese officers and soldiers erupted like a volcanic eruption.

"Mom, I miss Mom......,......

"I don't want to die" Your Excellency Osa, I promised Mieda, I have to go back alive to marry her! ”

"How long is this damn war going to last? How many more people are going to die? ”

"What kind of bullshit Great East Asian Holy War, what if the empire wins? I just want to fish in Hokkaido, and I just want to live a peaceful life with Chiyoko and "have a lot of babies............

Inoue Daisa looked around in a panic, but saw angry faces.

Inoue Osa wanted to draw his gun, but a snow-bright bayonet had already reached his neck, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers with snow-bright bayonets surrounded Inoue Osa from all sides, and a dark-skinned Hokkaido fisherman roared angrily: "Your Excellency Osa, give the order to surrender, we demand to surrender to the [Chinese]!" ”

Pasir Panjang, known as the Army Headquarters.

The sky was already dark, and the chief of the guard brought up the dinner of General Yamashita Fengwen, and the dinner was not sumptuous, only half a canned cow ròu, xiǎo half a bottle of sake, and xiǎo half a bowl of rice" But for ordinary officers and soldiers, this was already quite a luxurious dinner, and the chief of the guard of Yamashita Fengwen couldn't help but swallow when he bent down and exited the restaurant. Spittle.

As soon as Yamashita Fengfumi drank half a glass of sake, Lieutenant General Saburo Takehara, the commander of the 5th Division, hurriedly walked in and said angrily: "Your Excellency" The 42nd Infantry Wing of the Woodlands Line mutinied, the Wing Commander Inoue Jiro was kidnapped, and the rebels had surrendered to the Shina Army on the north bank! ”

"What?" Yamashita Fengwen Huoran got up and said "unbelievably," the 42nd Wing surrendered to the China Army? ”

"Hello!" Saburo Takehara bowed his head abruptly and said miserably, "Your Excellency, since the siege of Singapore, due to the serious shortage of food ammunition, the morale of our division has become increasingly depressed, and the fighting spirit has been lost, I am afraid that after the news spreads, the rest of the troops will follow the example of the 42nd Wing and launch a mutiny to surrender to the Chinese army!" ”

"Yagayalu." Yamashita Fengwen was furious and said, "Shame, it's simply a shame for the soldiers of the empire!" ”

Yamashita Fengwen has no reason not to be angry, this old devil is a crazy militarist, even if the Japanese army base camp does not promote him to army general, he will definitely resist to the end, but the old devil never expected that the promotion order of the base camp had just been issued, and the 42nd Infantry Wing of the Woodlands Defense Line actually surrendered en masse!

This is tantamount to a slap in the face of Yamashita Fengwen!

"What about life......" Yamashita Fengwen gritted his teeth and said after coming to his senses, "The 10th Infantry Wing of the ,,、th Infantry immediately assembled, and after half a while, they went to the Woodlands front line to exterminate the 42nd Infantry Wing, this group of cowards who betrayed the empire, I want them to kneel in front of the portrait of the emperor and collectively cut themselves!" ”

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

Johor Bahru, National Army Headquarters.

Song Xilian and Huo Yuzhang were idle, and they were playing chess after dinner.

The siege of Singapore has lasted for two months, and on the surface, the Japanese army in Singapore has not collapsed, so Song and Huo are not willing to risk a strong attack, both of them can see very clearly, the Sino-Japanese war has entered the sixth year, and victory is already in sight, at this time, they naturally hope that the more casualties the better.

"Will!" Song Xilian hit the head cannon on top of Huo Yuzhang's old handsome.

Huo Yuzhang suddenly fell into passivity, and when he was thinking hard about how to solve it, the chief of staff suddenly walked in excitedly, saluted him and reported: "The main seat, the forward position reports, there has been a large-scale mutiny of the Japanese army on the Woodlands defense line across the Johor Strait, and Yamashita Fengwen is mobilizing heavy troops from Pasir Panrang to suppress it!" ”

"Well, the Japanese army mutinied!?"

"Yamashita Fengwen wants to transfer troops to suppress it!?"

Song Xilian and Huo Yuzhang got up at the same time.

Immediately, Song Xilian said eagerly: "Chief of Staff, is the news reliable?" ”

"The message is absolutely reliable!" The chief of staff nodded heavily, and said without thinking, "At dinnertime, the infantry division, Zhao Changgong, the commander of the infantry, transferred a Xiǎo unit from the Anti-War Alliance, and quietly swam across the strait at night, the Japanese army's mutiny was caused by the Japanese prisoner of war of the Anti-War Alliance, this matter is absolutely true, there will be absolutely no mistake!" ”

"Okay, great!" Song Xilian slapped the case fiercely and said, "Chief of Staff, order all divisions to concentrate all artillery firepower and shell the Japanese headquarters in Pasir Panrang, and tell Zhao Changgong to shoot all the shells out, Lao Tzu has to Fengwen Yamashita tonight, this old devil is good-looking, he is a bear!" ”

After saying this, Song Xilian said again: "The first infantry, the 2nd division immediately organized the advance team, and the 2nd took the Xiǎo boat across the Johor Strait to surrender, and then ordered the engineer regiments of each division to immediately erect a bridge for capture, and told the commanders of the engineer regiments that before dawn, all the heavy equipment of each tank regiment must cross the bridge, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!" ”

Song Xilian's order was quickly conveyed, and the divisions of the 1st and 2nd armies immediately began to operate.

The artillery brigades directly under the two major group armies, the artillery regiments under each division, the artillery battalions under each regiment, and the self-propelled artillery battalions of each tank regiment, with a total of more than 2,000 mén large xiǎo caliber guns opened fire at the same time.

At the same time, the engineer regiments of the divisions also quickly began to erect pontoon bridges according to the predetermined plan.

Previously, the engineering regiments of various divisions had already hoarded a large number of bridge-building equipment and heavy equipment, and had even carried out no less than ten bridge-building exercises on the bend of the Tukulai River, and basically, the 10 engineer regiments of the 1st and 2nd armies could cooperate to erect four large pontoon bridges on the river surface more than 1,000 meters wide in eight xiǎo hours!

At 9 a.m. the next day, four steel pontoon bridges were laid across the Johor Strait!

The four tank regiments of the 2nd Army immediately rumbled across the pontoon bridge and drove onto the main island of Singapore, under the blow of the steel torrent of the national army, the Japanese army, which had already been exhausted and ran out of ammunition and food, soon collapsed, the main force of the 5th Division and the remnants of the 10th Division were surrounded and annihilated one after another, and Yamashita Fengfumi, who had just been promoted to army general, committed suicide.

On the evening of July 6, the 32nd year of the Republic of China (1943), the national flag of "Japan" over the Japanese Army Headquarters in Singapore was slowly lowered, and then the red flag was raised in the blue sky and white sun.
