January 27, 1945, was the day in the original history when the Chinese Expeditionary Force regained northern Myanmar and completely opened the China-India-Myanmar Highway.

But the situation is different now. Under the leadership of Liao Mingyu, the expeditionary force not only regained northern and central Burma, causing great losses to the Japanese army, but also continued to advance toward southern Burma.

After so many battles, the Japanese Southern Army could only retreat to several coastal cities in southern Myanmar, and continued to shrink its defense lines to contain the enemy's full pressure on the border.

On the domestic battlefield in China, although the Japanese army captured a large amount of territory after the Battle of Henan, Guangxi and Hunan, they were also unable to carry out larger battles. The lack of follow-up perfectly explained the current state of the Japanese, and the balance of confrontation was restored in various parts of the country.

situation.

During this period of time, all forces began to prepare for action, and the Japanese could only continue to "maintain law and order" on the territory they occupied in order to maintain these hard-won and precarious fruits of victory.

According to the lunar calendar, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, but as a gathering place for Chinese, Singapore does not have the slightest sense of festival. On the contrary, the doors of every household are closed, the streets and alleys are extremely deserted, and there are not many people wandering around.

But today is destined to be no ordinary day. Although there is no one on the street corner, there are many ordinary people gathered in the South Lane Square in Singapore.

Many people were forced to come here by the little devils, as if to let them witness the fate of those who resisted. To put it bluntly, they were executed in public to serve as a warning to others.

In addition to the uninformed people, there were also a few plainclothes Japanese soldiers in the mixed crowd. They looked around in the crowd looking for anyone suspicious. People with a discerning eye could easily spot the bulge on the waist of the coat.

It's a bright pistol.

On the second floor of a European-style building two streets away from the square, the curtains were slowly lifted to a corner, and Agui stood inside and quietly observed every move in the square.

There were also a few subordinates wearing rags who blended into the crowd around the square, but they didn't dare to get too close to avoid being recognized by the plainclothes from the Special High School.

After a while, several trucks drove towards us from the corner of the street. Dozens of people were escorted out of the vehicles with their hands tied behind their backs, and were forced to line up in a row under the angry curses of the Japanese soldiers.

A Japanese army translator stepped forward with a loudspeaker and began to announce to the people in Malay and Chinese how these "sinners" opposed the imperial army and how they destroyed the communist circle.

Most of the people stood numbly on the spot. It seemed that there were not many emotional ups and downs on their faces. They seemed to have long been accustomed to the Japanese behavior.

"Brother, I didn't even see where the master is?"

Ma Gan also squatted on the window sill and looked outside, but he did not find Fang Zhongen among the people who were escorted over.

Agui didn't speak, but he couldn't hide the anxiety between his brows. The current situation was quite tricky. The Japanese army had deployed at least two squads of troops near the square, and there were many Japanese soldiers patrolling the streets in the distance.

This is still a deployment that can be seen on the surface. Agui can be sure that if they act rashly, the Japanese army will definitely gather a large number of troops here in a short period of time.

At this time, I saw the little devil in the square making a gesture to the people behind him after chirping.

Thirty prisoners were marched to the center of the square one by one. Five of them knelt on the ground in a row. The Japanese soldiers standing behind them immediately tied their horses and loaded their guns, while aiming at the backs of these people.

「撃て」

Bang! Bang…

The five people in the row in front fell to the ground, and the bright red blood spread out along the gaps in the stone slabs. The huge gunshots frightened the people and kept retreating.

The little Japanese seemed to be satisfied with the result and ordered the laborers to drag the bodies aside, while the other Japanese continued to execute the remaining prisoners who were stunned by fright.

The sound of shooting and the Japanese soldiers' orders never stopped, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air everywhere, making it nauseating. Until the last one fell in a pool of blood, a hill of corpses was actually built up in the square.

Seeing this tragic scene, even a calm person like Agui couldn't help but get excited. Others wanted to go out and kill these bastards right away. Those who were shot

Many of the people in the crowd are companions they know,

"Brother Gui, look at the southwest corner of the square!"

Agui followed the direction pointed by the pole and suddenly saw a familiar figure...

Fang Chongen was taken off the truck by several Japanese soldiers and quickly arrived at the center of the square surrounded by Japanese soldiers.

The crowd couldn't help but exclaim. Apparently many people recognized Fang Chong'en. I believe there are not many people who don't recognize this Singaporean business leader, who is like the godfather of black and white.

"What a bitch! Do you have this day?"

"How could he be captured and beheaded by the Japanese?"

"Kill this lackey!"

…

Many civilians who didn't know the truth began to whisper, some couldn't control their emotions and cursed, and some even picked up stones on the ground and threw them at the high platform. The Japanese soldiers on the periphery quickly raised a cordon to control the crowd, and the scene instantly became noisy and chaotic.

.

His common people only knew that Fang Chong'en was an agent of the Japanese army and served as the mayor of Singapore for two years. During this period, he did many things for the Japanese, but they didn't know...that all of this was just an appearance.

In fact, a lot of dirty water was poured on the latter by the Japanese, and some Chinese people who had been favored by Mr. Fang knew his true identity very well.

That was a truly benevolent person. Without him, at least 50% of the civilians in the Malay Peninsula would have died under the Japanese butcher's knife, and more Chinese would have been displaced.

But at this moment, they could only watch their benefactor walk onto the execution platform, and listen to the malicious insults hurled at him by others, unable to do anything about it.

Old guy, it feels bad, haha...

Chief of Staff Iimura, who was standing not far away and supervising the scene, looked at the scene in front of him with a proud face. Especially when he saw the untouchables speaking indignantly against their "protective umbrella", he felt so happy.

Fang Chongen seemed to have expected such a result. He looked indifferent and walked slowly to the center of the square amidst the gossip and insults.

Unlike the others, the Japanese army did not tie him up, but only put shackles on his hands. He was wearing a long blue coat and was quite clean and tidy. It was obvious that he had not been tortured.

"Brother Gui! What do you say? Do you want to take action!?" Ma Gan behind the window sill couldn't wait any longer. He looked at Agui impatiently, his hands holding a signal bomb full of sweat.

According to the plan, as long as their group sends a signal, the dead soldiers who have been ambushing the crowd will immediately activate the explosive packs tied to their bodies and rush towards the Japanese troops closest to them, creating the first wave of chaos.
