Chapter 426 The second captured governor

"Occurrence! Attack, drive all the yellow monkeys into the sea!" A British colonel hid behind and issued an order. He was the commander of the 129th Infantry Regiment of the British Army. After receiving the order from Major General Boris, he mobilized the troops of the 129th Infantry Regiment to prevent the landing of the Chinese Marines. Unexpectedly, by the time he led his troops to Changi, the Chinese Marines had already landed and gained a foothold.

"Da da da da!" The heavy machine gun was roaring, and the fiery bullets were straggling wildly, hitting people's bodies, leaving bullet holes the size of fists. More than 2,000 people from the 129th Infantry Regiment of the British Army and more than 1,000 people from the 1st Battalion of the 5th Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps were fighting fiercely two kilometers west of Changi.

Major General Boris gave Colonel Barth the dead order, and he must block the Chinese team in Changi. If possible, it would be better to drive the Chinese team into the sea. Colonel Barth was also confident and had this strength. After all, landing operations are much more difficult than defense. However, he did not expect that the combat power of the Chinese Marine Corps was extraordinary. Even if his infantry regiment was deployed in the United Kingdom in Asia, it was still lacking compared to the Chinese Marine Corps.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The 12 75mm field artillery of the 129th Infantry Regiment continued to pour shells into the positions of the Chinese Marine Corps, providing artillery fire support to the infantry.

"Battalion Commander, this British man has a strong firepower! He has 12 cannons and a lot of heavy machine guns, more than twenty." A captain officer came to the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 5th Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps and said. His company was defending on the front line, and now there have been many casualties. Of course, they caused even greater casualties to the attacking British soldiers.

"Hmph! What's this? The heavy mortars and infantry artillery of the battalion will provide you with all the support. In addition, the communications corps are already contacting the fleet's naval gun support. The fleet's naval gun support will be available in at most five minutes. These British guys will not be able to reach it for long!" said the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 5th Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps. Their battalion has only 4 120mm heavy mortars and 4 75mm infantry artillery. Their power is not worse than the 129th Regiment of the British Army, plus the number of mortars in the company and platoons below. As for the number of machine guns, it is light

If the heavy machine guns are combined, they are far more than the 129th Regiment of the British Army. This is also the reason why they can easily withstand more than 2,000 attacks from the opponent with more than 2,000 troops. However, with the strength of their battalions alone, they may have to suffer a lot of casualties to completely defeat the enemy in front of them. Fortunately, they are just one battalion of the 5th Marine Brigade, with 4 battalions and a large number of brigade-level troops behind them. In addition, they can also get support from naval naval guns. The power of naval guns is much more powerful than the cannons used by the army.

"Swish!" Suddenly, a sharp roar came from the sky. Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion occurred among the attacking British troops. The orange-red fireball broke out from the queue, covering all the British soldiers around them, leaving a large pit more than ten meters wide on the ground. This is the light cruiser of the naval fleet staying on the Johor Strait, and is using naval guns to provide firepower support to the 1st Battalion of the 5th Marine Corps. The two light cruisers used high-explosive bombs and had a very high lethality to personnel!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Immediately afterwards, a large number of shells fell, and fireballs rose from the British soldiers, and a large number of British soldiers were killed. The positions of the Chinese Marine Corps cheered.

The offensive of the 129th Regiment of the British Army was suddenly suppressed by the fierce artillery bombardment of the Chinese Navy. Moreover, morale dropped rapidly. Almost all the soldiers killed by naval guns were left untouched, which caused a great blow to other British soldiers.

The Marine Corps' communication soldiers used telegrams to provide the battleship with coordinates for artillery. When the warship's shells landed on the artillery position of the 129th Regiment of the British Army, the 129th Regiment of the British Army was defeated, which was inevitable.

When the artillery was eliminated, coupled with heavy casualties, the 129th Regiment of the British Army was defeated. The 1st Battalion of the 5th Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps chased and chased them all the way to the main urban area of ​​Singapore before stopping. There was also a regiment of British Army in the city. With the previous defeat, the 1st Battalion of the 5th Brigade had a battalion of troops. It was not that easy to defeat Singapore.

Fortunately, at noon, other troops from the 5th Marine Brigade also arrived, and the three battalions of troops launched a fierce attack on Singapore. The British team could only struggle to support it.

"Governor General, the Chinese have already fought outside the city. Unfortunately, my troops can't defeat them with all their strength." Major General Boris stood in front of Sir Rui Tianxian, the governor of the Straits colony, with a depressed look on his face.

"Where is the fortress? How is the situation in the fortress?" Sir Rui Tianxian asked.

"More than half of the soldiers guarding the fortress have been lost. Most of our coastal defense artillery has been destroyed. However, it has not caused any damage to the Chinese fleet. Now, the Chinese navy has completed its landing and their large troops are coming to Singapore. I have sent all my troops out. Until now, I can do nothing. What should I do next? The Governor General Boris has made a choice!" Major General Boris said. He only has three regiments in his hand, one regiment guarding the fortress, and has suffered heavy losses in the exchange of fire with the two battleships of the Chinese Navy and two heavy cruisers. The other 129th Infantry Regiment was also severely damaged. There is still an infantry regiment left, but facing a brigade of Chinese Marines, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning.

"So quickly? It's only half a day. Is Singapore going to fall?" Sir Rui Tianxian murmured. He had just become the governor of the Straits colony and had not had time to enjoy the taste of power. He had to surrender, and then walked into the Chinese prisoner-of-war camp. He probably wouldn't be released after the war. Such reality made it difficult for Sir Rui Tianxian to accept. Although before him, Hong Kong Governor Buli had surrendered and became the first and more captured British Governor. However, as the second captured British Governor, it was obviously not a very glorious thing.

"Governor, you can't hesitate now. If you hesitate any more, you will only lose more lives of the British. It is probably difficult for us to win this war. In Asia, no country is the opponent of China!" Major General Boris said in despair. Britain has been the world's largest power for hundreds of years, and is known as the empire of the sun never set. However, now Britain cannot resist the Chinese in the Far East and South Asia. Unless the navy's expedition can win, the British power will have to withdraw from the Far East and South Asia. This rich and vast land will usher in a new master. Although all the British are unwilling to accept it, this is a fact!

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to the cabinet immediately!" Sir Rui Tianxian said with a sad face.

"Governor General!" Major General Boris wanted to persuade him.

"Your Maj. General, my position as governor is accepted by His Majesty the Queen. Unless the Chinese capture me immediately now, I will only be able to surrender with the consent of the Queen and the Cabinet!" Sir Rui Tianxian insisted.

"Okay, Governor, I will buy you time. But I hope you will be able to get you as soon as possible. Every minute you drag, a British man will die!" Major General Boris said. In order to resist the attack of the Chinese Marines, he almost transferred all the British troops in Singapore to the front line.

"Yeah!" Sir Rui Tianxian nodded.

The Lin family and the Lin family were all in charge. The fierce gunfire outside made them a little scared, but also a little excited. The Chinese team finally reached Singapore and would soon defeat the British. By then, they, the Chinese, will no longer be bullied.

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zixiang of the Military Intelligence Bureau walked into the living room.

"Mr. Lin, what's going on?" asked Mr. Lin Guanghong.

"Now, the soldiers of the 5th Marine Brigade of the Empire are attacking Singapore, and the British are almost unable to withstand it!" Lin Zixiang said with a smile.

"That's good! God bless you! The empire's army has finally arrived!" Old Master Lin Guanghong said excitedly.

"Old man, now I have something to make contributions. I don't know if I am willing to do it!" Lin Zixiang said.

"What's the matter? As long as my Lin family can help, we will never refuse!" said Mr. Lin Guanghong.

"In this way, my people found that in order to resist the attack of the Emperor* team, the British had put all their troops on the front line. Now there are only dozens of British soldiers in the entire Singapore. My plan is to attack the Governor's Office with the guards of the Lin family, and come to cooperate with the inside and outside to support the brothers outside!" Lin Zixiang said.

"This..." Lin Guanghong hesitated a little. He was still a little afraid to let the people from the Lin family fight with the British.

"Mr. Lin, this is too dangerous!" Lin Guanghong's eldest son Lin Yi also said.

"Lin is like the old man, so-called wealth and honor are in danger! This is not just an adventure, but also an opportunity!" Lin Zixiang said.

"Okay, I've done it! I'll call the Lin family's guards to attack the Governor's Mansion!" Mr. Lin Guanghong immediately stopped the dissuasion of several sons.

Soon, more than a dozen people in Lin Zixiang's hands, plus hundreds of guards from the Lin family, left the Lin family and attacked the Governor's Office. Along the way, they were not blocked. When they attacked the Governor's Office and captured Rui Tianxian, the Governor of the Straits Colony, Sir Rui Tianxian was still waiting for the British reply. (To be continued.)
