The fierce artillery fire shook the sky, and the battle had lasted for two days and two nights, and the siege of 58,000 Yue troops and puppet troops not only failed to recapture the largest Fort Canning Hill battery on Sing Tao, but was instead destroyed by the Chinese navy with ground-penetrating shells and five-ton "Fury" heavy bombs in the tenacious defense of the Chinese airborne forces, and also allowed Ye Zishan to open up a stable transportation line, and opened up a second landing ground in Pasir Panjang and Clementi on the west side of the island.

Within 48 hours, the Southwest Theater Command also made timely overall arrangements and dispatched troops from Natuna, Sumatra, and even further away as Borneo and the Andaman to reinforce 13,000 soldiers from Singapore by seaplane and Sumatran ships, and also sent 400 tons of weapons and equipment, including five Type 25C "Tanuki" light tanks, eight Type 31 "Golden Leopard" tanks, 15 "Hound Dog" wheeled armored vehicles, and 25 "Fox Hunt" reconnaissance armored vehicles. In view of the fact that there were airborne troops, army and marines, and guerrillas such as the Malayan Division of the Asian League, and the command and coordination were chaotic, Ouyang Nan, commander of the theater, discussed with Qiu Wenbin, who was supervising the war, and decided to establish the Sing Tao Command, which was jointly commanded by Dong Hao, Ye Zishan, and Lin Mousheng.

In order to further strengthen the force and open the encirclement of the Japanese army, Ye Zishan decisively proposed to organize an elite Marine Corps to cooperate with Lin Mousheng's Malayan Division and the Singapore Volunteers to attack Sentosa and rescue more than 30,000 British, Dutch, Australian and New Zealand prisoners of war held there. This rescue operation was very timely, and by the early morning of the third day, Lin Mousheng had rescued 26,000 prisoners of war. After emergency supplies and rest, Colonel Bryan of the former British Far East Army joined the New Island Joint Force with 6,000 soldiers in good physical condition, which greatly enhanced the Sing Tao Command's troop dispatch capabilities.

In the face of absolute air superiority, Fort Canning Hill Fort and the shores of the Singapore Strait embankment have become insurmountable barriers for the Japanese army! Especially in the fort area, under the desperate defense of the officers and men of the Sing Tao Command, the attack of the Yue army suffered heavy casualties. Ye Zishan also used the technicians and spare parts sent by the navy to repair a 381 mm coastal cannon and three 152 mm naval guns with the help of the navy, when the naval gunners aimed the 381 mm cannon at a very close range at the infantry of the Ben, often only two or three shells can destroy a complete infantry squadron! Under the guidance of observation planes, these turrets, which can rotate 360 degrees, also carried out long-range strikes against Clementi in the west and Changi Airport in the east.

Lieutenant General Shinichi Tanaka was already a little hysterical, and the entire three infantry wings, one mountain artillery wing, one rapid-fire artillery brigade, and a division with a total strength of 34,000 men were caught in such a bitter battle! For this battery, General Yamashita also strengthened his 2 150 heavy guns and a 105 mountain artillery brigade, but now? Two days and two nights of death fighting, the corpses on the surface can be spread from the Singapore Strait to the Johor Strait! But I still can't gnaw it, and I really lose the face of the Imperial Army! It can't go on like this, although Fort Canning Mountain is only fifty meters high, it can overlook the entire Star Island, and if you can't get it back, even the Johor Strait defense line will be flanked and collapsed!

The general has already given enough trust! The empire also wants to continue to hold Malacca and push ** into a stalemate! Now he is bleeding here, and he has really lost the face of the Imperial Army!

"Bring the ** prisoners up and use them to block the front!" Tanaka held the saber, his eyes blood-red. He's gone crazy! Keep an eye on the group of batteries in the distance and give the final order loudly.

Soon, tens of thousands of Chinese "meat shields" tied with ropes appeared in front of the Yue army, lined up in a tight formation under the threat of bayonets and slowly walked towards the fort.

"Colonel! Captain! Look at it. ”

On the opposite side of Tanaka, the officer pulled his direct opponent, Ye Zishan, to the side of the air window. The colonel, who had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, was covered in mud, and the new military uniform he had changed into before going out had been blackened by artillery fire, and he only had a pair of bright and firm eyes that told the army that there was an opponent here that you could not knock down.

Through the artillery periscope, after Ye Zishan saw clearly the Chinese who were escorted towards the fort by the army, he snorted coldly: "Stop shooting, the snipers are in place!" Let the naval cavalry take to the air and follow the predetermined plan! "The officers and staff officers, who had long anticipated such a scene, were no longer nervous, and immediately picked up the telephone or radio and sent orders one after another to the troops.

"Get into position! Beware of hostages. After Pei Jian beckoned the hunters to enter their respective sniper positions, he stuck the special eight-fold sniper scope on the sniper rifle, put the butt on his cheek, and began to adjust the scope according to the wind speed and light. He used the H38 bolt-action sniper rifle, which was modeled after the later M21 sniper rifle. It is very difficult to make a good sniper rifle, it is a great test of fine processing ability, behind each finished barrel is ten to fifteen pieces of waste, and every bullet is screened layer by layer, so Hanyang Industrial Group's gun factory not only improved the process many times, but also invited senior firearms technicians from Finland, Sweden and other countries.

Because of the difficulty of manufacturing and the high price, the special sniper rifle is not available to everyone, so the deputy shooter next to him uses the most equipped squad H35 semi-automatic precision rifle. "Here we are." In the secondary shooter's reminder, the black-pressed hostage appears in the far side of the hill. Behind the hostages were all low-pitched soldiers, twisting their running routes left and right. "Made! There are also quite a few mixed in with the crowd. On the left side of the woman in blue dress. Through the scope, a soldier with a fierce face and a few grenades appeared in the crowd, and the deputy sniper immediately turned the muzzle of the gun.

"See, leave it to me. Contact everyone and solve the soldiers mixed in first. Pei Jian quickly caught this soldier, put him in the crosshairs, and slowly pulled the trigger. Come on! Baga, dead pull dead drip! The corpses all over the ground had already scared Chen Baomei, who was in her fifties, trembling, because she was walking slowly, and she was suddenly pushed by the soldiers. This fall aroused her desire for death. Seeing that there was not even a single Wehrmacht soldier in the silence around them, they thought that they were afraid that they would not dare to shoot, so they opened their throats and shouted: "Shoot! Babies! Shoot! With these devils to accompany the funeral, it is worth our death! ”

"Shoot! Shoot! ”

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the soldier who did not know that he had been put in the scope immediately raised his bayonet. But before he could stab him, the shots rang out! I only heard a snap, and the head of this soldier with a face full of flesh and grenades all over his body exploded, and countless yellow and white juices poured out.

"Sniper!" The reaction of the Yue army was very fast, and as soon as Pei Jian killed the soldier, a few people on the side shouted. But no matter how fast they were, they couldn't compare to the more than two hundred snipers that Ye Zishan specially selected from various units. On the six-kilometer-long arc defense line in front of the fort alone, there were more than 100 of them, and hundreds of elite veterans who shot accurately. Therefore, after Pei Jian fired the first shot, the continuous crisp sound of fried beans immediately sounded on the position that was still silent just now, and those soldiers who were mixed in the middle of the hostages were killed one after another in the blink of an eye, and most of them were headshots, and they couldn't do the same action at all.

"Run! Come on! "After the sniper fired, shouts were heard from several loudspeakers arranged on the defensive line. Chen Baomei, who had not yet woken up from the scene of the soldier's head open, felt that her feet slipped and she was pulled by the people next to her and ran towards the fort.

"Smack!" The crisp gunfire was not dense, but it was particularly deadly, and in just two minutes from the first bullet to the sound of the horn, three or four hundred soldiers were killed by snipers. "Yaga! Shoot! Fire! Kill them all! Charge, charge after them! Fill these little hills with bayonets, with teeth, and with people! Seeing the situation ahead, Tanaka went completely insane, screaming desperately to kill the hostages and charge.

But at this moment, there was a sudden noise of noisy engines in front of them, and the sound went from far to near, and just as the soldiers were looking around, six strange gyroplanes that they had never seen before "flipped over" from behind the ridge. "Gyroplane!" A staff officer who had fought the Wehrmacht in Siem Reap immediately recognized it as a rotorcraft with a machine gun that had once appeared over the Mekong River.

But his frightened shouts were too late to reach the front, and after six "Sea Cavalry" helicopters imitating the S55 were able to get past the hostages with their characteristic circling and low speeds, the machine gunners in the cabin immediately pulled the trigger. Even though the rate of fire was adjusted to 650 rounds per minute due to the difficulty of replacing the barrel, the 1,000 rounds of vehicle-mounted metal shells were quickly pulled. The dense rain of bullets instantly filled the battlefield, forcibly cutting the hostages and the army in half, and the unique sound like tearing the oilcloth represented death as long as it was heard!

In just a few minutes, the troops who followed the hostages were "blown down" by a rain of metal bullets like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and their flesh and blood were splashed and their limbs were broken, and more than 2,000 infantry were forced to be pressed to the ground by the rain of bullets from the "sea cavalry" and suffered heavy casualties, and they could not pursue the hostages at all. Before the "sea cavalry" could finish wreaking havoc, 32 tanks and armored vehicles rushed out from both flanks and ran over the Japanese army along all roads like mercury. Overhead, machine-gun fire, rampage, thick armor on the ground, and an abundance of automatic weapons and air support were overhead. The Indonesian 2nd Army was the first to collapse, with thousands of remnants crashing into the left flank of the 18th Division, causing confusion, and then being slaughtered by the Chinese Navy's attack aircraft.

"It's over!" Seeing this scene, Tanaka Shini was stupid, and stared blankly at the six "sea cavalry" that were raging and firing frantically above the heads of his troops, and even forgot to organize machine guns to shoot them down. Two days and two nights! Fifteen thousand imperial soldiers, the last elite didn't even make it to the top of the fort!

"Shatter the jade!"

The fierce fire of the "Sea Cavalry" made Tanaka sober up and couldn't fight anymore! In the face of the squadron's endless attack methods and a large number of extremely powerful automatic weapons, it is impossible for Singapore to hold on. So after waving his hand to several wing captains, he drew his saber little by little, and slowly sat down on the ground with a dead gaze.

After the helicopter rescued the hostages with miraculous results, Ye Zishan still did not give up, and immediately asked the armored battalion to cooperate with the "Sea Cavalry" squadron to launch an attack on the city hall four kilometers away.

On the afternoon of December 21, the sun flag, which had covered the island for 31 months, was torn off by three paratroopers, and the Chinese flag fluttered over the island for the first time...... (To be continued.) )
