The British army suddenly behaved heroically, on the one hand, because life and death were at stake, and on the other hand, they were used to oppressing the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia, and they did not take it seriously to prevent the Chinese from approaching the Sin Chew Wharf. In the minds of Blashua and Percival, as long as their troops exposed a little bit of minions, the "rabble" would collapse at the touch of a button, and would no longer be an obstacle to the "Singapore retreat".

However, the gunfire rang out for more than an hour, and there was no good news, but the bad news came back one after another - "The volunteers have broken through the first line of defense; The second line of defense was breached...... Oh no, the U.S. consulate was taken by the Volunteers—"

"How is that possible?" "Did I hear me right?" Bai Sihua and Percival looked at each other and were dumbfounded, and then, both of them jumped up at the same time, and the former shouted: "No, I have to rush to the front in person!" ”

Percival: "I'd better go to the front, sir, and you go to the docks." I suddenly had a very bad feeling! ”

The cowardly sheep suddenly turned into lions, and the British army, which had no ability to parry in front of the Japanese army, was suddenly revealed.

The two of them walked out of the gate of the temporary headquarters together, and stood in the courtyard about to order the adjutant to gather his own guards, but saw a commotion not far away. When they rushed out of the courtyard, they saw groups of soldiers fleeing in the desert, followed by small formations of several hundred men. A little farther away, the shouts of killing became louder and louder, and the footsteps of "Dong Dong" came, obviously the volunteers were approaching.

"Bastard! What about Commander Bolesim? Percival stopped one of the soldiers, reached for his collar and shouted.

"Dead, all the chiefs are dead, general, run away. The Chinese have sharpshooters, and the commanders are dead when they show up——"

The British troops stationed on this street had a division, but they were defeated without a single blister. The chiefs are dead—this sentence was like a plate of cold water poured on Percival's head, and all the thoughts in his mind about the "Singapore retreat" were extinguished.

"What's going on?!" Surrounded by dozens of soldiers, Bai Sihua first asked his men to gather the rout, and then walked to Percival's side and asked.

Percival only felt that everything was lost, and he replied dejectedly: "We underestimated the determination of the Chinese. It seems that the Cadet Army sent an elite to infiltrate the city early. ”

Bai Sihua's guards were ordered to collect the rout, but what made people laugh and cry was that those rout soldiers who were stopped actually tried to persuade those guards officers and soldiers to flee quickly. "The Chinese are crazy!" The rout of the army said: "Crazy than the Japanese!" "Moreover, there are troops who have defected, and they say that it is inhumane for the commander to give such an order, and that they are destined to be taken to the International Court of Justice in The Hague - the massacre of civilians! But then again, what kind of civilians are the Chinese, they are simply mobs! "I'll tell you another unfortunate news, the Americans have sided with the Chinese - the Americans are our allies, what is this called?" "If you want to die, go to death! The Chinese have snipers, and I saw with my own eyes that Division Commander Bolesim only showed half of his head, 'Oh! His head cracked like a watermelon – oh God, it was horrible! ”

The conversation between the soldiers reached the ears of Blashua and Percival, who were about to be angry at this fallacy, but swallowed it back when it came to their mouths, and to their horror they found that they seemed to have lost the courage to argue.

"Let's go to the docks! We can't really fight the Chinese to the end, and that will only end up with the Japanese," Percival said softly.

"That's all there is to it. Percival, you say, was Wavell's plan wrong from the beginning? ”

"I don't know if Waver's intentions must be good, but he underestimated the strength of the Chinese - Bai Sihua, I now finally understand the true meaning of the word '**'."

The general trend has gone, and as the two highest-ranking generals of the British army in the Straits Settlements, I don't know what kind of mood Lu Dao is feeling, but he is abnormally relaxed. They call each other by name, and for the first time act like a pair of bosom friends.

The resistance of the Chinese was very stubborn, and even though the Xinghua Volunteer Army temporarily absorbed five or six thousand fresh troops, their weapons were still scarce and dilapidated. The weapons were inferior to the British, and they could only seek victory by courage, by desperately, by sacrifice. It was tragic that the teeth and even any part of the body had become a desperate weapon for them and the British army—China had been weakened for too long, even though it had a vast territory, rich resources, and a huge population base...... He has all the qualifications to become a strong country, but he is not a strong country, and he can't even protect his diaspora in a foreign land. Even in order to survive, they had to sacrifice some of them in exchange for the survival of the group.

The Singapore-Malaysian Chinese are good, in the face of the British professional soldiers, in the face of the cold muzzle of the black hole, in the face of the danger of losing their lives at any time, no one flinched - the young men screamed loudly, and rushed forward with old guns; Behind them were the faithful girls, many of whom had not long been dancers at the English upper balls; The old people also rushed up, and without guns, they fought with stones, bricks, and even their own teeth......

In fact, not many British soldiers died, but at least half of them were stoned or bitten to death, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the British army.

In this arduous battle, a total of more than 800 British soldiers abandoned the darkness and joined the camp of the volunteers. In the beginning, Cui Lin's purpose in accepting the British was to be happy to see dogs eat dogs. Tan Kah Kee is much more shrewd than them, and he is also better at grasping the general trend. Anyway, the British army suddenly appealed to the former comrades-in-arms on the other side, asking them to stop blindly following Bai Sihua and other British military high-ranking officials and becoming their tools for massacring civilians.

This was an even greater blow to the morale of the British troops, coupled with the fact that the wolf fangs were firing with all their firepower, and the bullets were specially hailed at the officers, and after an hour and a half of melee, the British army's attempt to occupy the American consulate was the first to be broken. Immediately afterwards, some American expatriates joined the Chinese camp, and the British army shrank back, and the battle could not be fought.

Bringing American expatriates out of the U.S. Consulate is the key to the "New Malaysia Chinese ** Rescue". With the Americans escorting and the British throwing a mouse, the road to Sin Chew Pier is much smoother.

Two and a half hours after the "American Evacuation Fleet" docked at the Sin Chew Wharf, that is, at about 9 o'clock in the evening, a huge contingent of "American expatriates" finally appeared in front of Grant, Zhang Liangfeng, and others.

There was no fighting at the dock - under the command of Zhang Liangfeng, and with Grant providing an upright reason, it took only a quarter of an hour for more than 1,000 Jewish soldiers dressed as U.S. Marines to expel the British troops guarding the dock and take over the defense of the dock.

The temporary headquarters of the British army was originally located on a street that had to be passed to the Sin Chew Wharf, however, in the face of the menacing Xinghua Volunteer Warrior forward, Bai Sihua and Percival did not dare to continue to organize the blockade. In order to escape the dead land of Singapore, they are indeed crazy, but they also know that they cannot offend the Americans. Since the American expatriates have been "coerced" into the ranks of the Chinese, it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries if there is another war. Blashua and Percival dared to ignore the safety of Toms and Johnny, but they did not dare to ignore the lives of American expatriates. This illustrates how important it is for those expatriates to have a strong homeland.

"Let's go, let's take a detour along the coastal forest road to the docklands first—" Bai Sihua quickly made a new decision.

Percival remembered a key person at this time and asked, "What about Dari?" Why didn't you see this guy? ”

Colonel Dali is the commander of the Xinghua Volunteer Army, and according to common sense, he has the supreme command of the Xinghua Volunteer Army. Of course, Percival asked this sentence at this time, but it was actually a fluke.

"I haven't seen him all the time, maybe he has already been killed by the Chinese, right?" One of his staff officers replied in an uncertain tone.

Finally gathered five or six thousand officers and soldiers, Bai Sihua and Percival avoided the street leading to the Sin Chew Wharf and bypassed the coastal forest road to reach the pier first, but they encountered Major Shi'en's men on the coastal forest road.

"Major Schuen was detained by the Americans. The Americans said that we were not allowed to come within 500 meters of the dock defense area, and if we got close, we would shoot," Major Shien's deputy reported to the two generals very aggrieved.

If the dock is still in hand, it can be used to negotiate with the Chinese, and these five or six thousand people have hope of escaping Singapore. Now, it's time to think long-term. "Grace, you idiot!" Bai Sihua scolded with a grim face, and then asked the details of the Grace Department being driven away from the docks, and learned that the Americans had sent at least one regiment of marines, and he discussed a few words with Percival, and decided that he would personally go to meet the colonel Grant, who was so large.

Both men knew that after tonight's farce, what little morale the troops had been drained. Once this matter was detected by the Japanese army, the British army in the Straits Settlements would have only one way to surrender. Surrender and surrender, but if they can successfully escape to the sea and order their men to surrender, it will save the face of their two generals and the British government to the greatest extent.

"Britain and the United States are allies after all, and although we are at fault in this matter, it is also forced by circumstances. For the sake of the dignity of the British Empire, I will apologize to Grant with a low profile! I don't think he's going to get things done, right? But this matter can't be known to the officers and soldiers below, Percival, I'll go to Grant, and I'll leave it to you here! ”

“OK！ Thank you! ”

"All for the British Empire!"
