The sudden attack not only severely damaged the aircraft carrier "Kaga", but also completely disrupted the Japanese queue - the Japanese ships in front were in chaos, some pursued in the direction of the submarine disappeared, and some threw depth charges on the spot; Over the evacuation fleet, several torpedo planes roared back and forth; On the corvettes on which several of the evacuated ships were berthed and the evacuation fleet was in front, the Japanese marines lined up were indignant, and many of them opened fire from the boats, and the bullets sparked on the big ships...... On the merchant ship, which had already been climbed by Japanese soldiers, a skirmish had broken out. The squadron leader, who was clamoring for a big killing, was about to break into the cockpit and seize control of the ship with dozens of devils, when suddenly a group of more than 20 officers and men of the "US Marine Corps" came out. The two sides exchanged guns on the narrow left side acrossboard, and the leader of the devil squadron brandished a command knife and roared in Japanese, shouting that the Americans fired to stop the resistance; A second lieutenant in the "U.S. Marine Corps" brandished a pistol and declared in English that they had violated the territory of the United States of America, and ordered them to disembark......

The chickens and ducks talked, the voices of the two sides became higher and higher, and the anger became louder and louder, and finally, the leader of the devil squadron failed to control his emotions and took the lead in giving the order to shoot. The Jewish cadet, dressed as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, did not understand any Japanese, and he gave the order to shoot almost at the same time. Almost simultaneously, both sides fired gunfire, and the soldiers in front of both sides fell to the ground.

On the command ship of the evacuation fleet, the heavy patrol of the American army, Grant and Mitterrand were discussing countermeasures, and when they heard the gunshots, they were both startled. Grant gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "There is no time to hesitate, taking advantage of the chaos of the Japanese fleet, we will immediately break through at full speed." ”

Mitterrand hesitated: "What if the Japanese attack us?" ”

"Then you can only fight back, hoping that the British will not run away with a single shot. If the British had come prepared, it would have been known who would have killed the deer! Grant said, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked like a gambler.

Mitterrand really didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but at this moment, he also knew that it was impossible to solve it peacefully. He sighed heavily and said, "I don't know how to fight, everything is up to you." ”

On the "Qiangyun", everyone first cheered and cheered up the Japanese aircraft carrier when it was hit by a submarine, and as the Japanese ship became crazy and began to fire frantically at the sponge in the distance, the mood of Tan Kah Kee and other Singapore-Malaysian Chinese leaders immediately became heavy. They didn't know what would happen next, and they were all worried about the fate of the Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese, and they were worried that they would be attacked by Japanese ships. Zhang Liangfeng and Cui Lin behaved extremely calmly, Zhang Liangfeng wanted to talk to the microphone and convey orders to the ships under his command: "Listen to it, prepare to accelerate the breakthrough!" ”

"What if the Japanese attack us?" Lin Jiangshi asked.

Zhang Liangfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said categorically: "They dare to kill and come on the boat, they are looking for death." As for shelling our ships, I don't think they have the guts to do that! Afraid that Chen Jiageng and others would not understand, he explained: "The Japanese are not afraid of detonating the war between the United States and Japan, and they really dare to attack." But as long as our submarines are lurking nearby, they'll have to be wary of it - and that's our chance. ”

Everyone felt justified and was in a slightly settled mood, but they heard fierce gunfire on the "Kunshan" not far away. At this time, there are still Japanese ships firing flares into the sky, so this sea area is still as bright as day. Cui Lin walked quickly to the hatch and looked at the "Kunshan", and saw the gunfire on the gangway of the "Kunshan" from afar, he looked at it seriously for a while, and then turned to the people behind him: "Don't worry, the little devil is only a team of people, not an opponent." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Grant's voice came from the loudspeaker in the cabin: "I am Grant, the commander-in-chief of the evacuation fleet, all ships pay attention, immediately turn to the left 15 degrees, and we will speed out of here." ”

Zhang Liangfeng turned around and returned to the helmsman and said, "Turn left 15°, drive full horsepower, let's go!" ”

The evacuation fleet suddenly accelerated collectively to break through to the upper right of Lu, and Yamada Definition, who was standing on a lifeboat, saw that his face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. Okada Harukatsu stood up by the shoulders of a second lieutenant, and said hatefully: "Your Excellency, just let them run away?" ”

Yamada bit his lower lip with his teeth and looked back at the aircraft carrier "Kaga" on the surface of the sea until he bit blood. Tian churned his lips and tasted the taste of his own blood, and he said coldly: "Today's humiliation, he must redouble it back tomorrow!" Yankee! You're going to pay for today's actions! ”

Yamada drifted adrift with the lifeboats at sea, unable to command other ships for the time being, and two Japanese ships, sensing the actions of the evacuation fleet, broke away from the queue to search for British submarines and turned to the evacuation fleet head-on.

On the "Kunshan", the battle was over, and the Jewish soldiers annihilated all the 34 devils who boarded the ship at the cost of 16 casualties. They cut the cable from which the Japanese frigate docked, and the second lieutenant, who had been shot in the calf, fired several shots into the air and shouted in English to the little devil who turned the muzzle of the gun: "Japanese, do you really want to provoke a war between the United States and Japan?" ”

On that frigate, the only one who could understand English was the captain. The captain glanced at the aircraft carrier "Kaga" in the sea, and then at the domineering "Americans", thinking that these sons of bitches really dared to confront the Imperial Army with force, he gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to be patient and prepare for battle to wait for the order of His Excellency Yamada.

A major storm is brewing off the coast of Singapore. At the junction of urban and rural areas on the west side of Singapore, an ambush battle began.

Percival stayed behind in order to allow Bai Sihua and the others to get out. And because of him presiding over the situation, the British army finally avoided the embarrassing situation of being leaderless. The British are not fools, especially those mid-ranking officers. When the evacuation fleet sounded the whistle and prepared to return home, many people understood what Percival had given up. As a result, they began to respect Percival from the bottom of their hearts. Listen to his orders, and dare not transgress again. After consolidating nearly 25,000 British officers and soldiers, Percival sent about 3,000 men to continue to gather scattered British troops. He then began to rearrange the defensive line, and soon built a new defensive line at the junction of Singapore's urban and rural areas, and seized the opportunity to attack an ambush by two Japanese troops smuggled by Hashimoto Jun to Kuka by water.

In order to thoroughly understand the situation in the city of Singapore, Hashimoto sent two large groups of soldiers to attack Guka by water, only to encounter about 5,000 British troops led by Percival himself.

While the Japanese sneaked up on the beach, Percival was giving a lecture to the soldiers. From the moment he decided to stay, Percival understood that the fate of the British army in Singapore was doomed to surrender. But before that, he wanted to fight again, if only for the honor of the military - "Soldiers! There is nothing to be afraid of defeat, but we must not lose the honor of our military personnel because of this! Even if we want to surrender, we also want to let the Japanese know that we are definitely a respectable opponent! He was giving a lecture when suddenly a platoon commander came to report that he had found a Japanese on the beach of Guika.

Percival immediately guessed the intentions of the Japanese—"They have come to test us, and perhaps they think we have abandoned Singapore and fled with the American evacuation fleet!" Okay, let's give them a head-on shot! ”
