The two Americans exchanged pleasantries and began to introduce their Chinese partners to each other.
"Mr. Tan Kah Kee, Commander of the Xinghua Volunteer Army Lin Jiangshi, Deputy Commander Hu Tiejun, oh, this is Mr. Xiao Yi, Grant, he is a real warrior. If it hadn't been for him just now, you wouldn't be able to see me now. ." Mitterrand enthusiastically introduced the Chinese leaders of Singapore and Malaysia to Grant,
In the previous battle, a British soldier once threw a grenade from the roof to the crowd where Mitterrand was sitting. Under the light of the fireworks lit by the street, he watched the grenade hit him. For a moment, Mitterrand's heart almost stopped beating, and his hands and feet suddenly became cold. "It's over, I'm going to die." He thought numbly in his heart, and Mrs. Mitterrand suddenly let out a scream, and then collapsed. In his arms, everyone who saw this scene thought that Mitterrand and the others were dead. At this moment, Xiao Yi on one side jumped up and kicked the grenade miraculously with a flying kick. It flew away, with a "boom" sound, and the grenade exploded in the air about twenty meters above the ground. Although several American expatriates were injured by shrapnel, luckily no one died. Mitterrand He was already prepared to die gloriously in the line of duty, but he survived the disaster. At this point, the way he looked at Xiao Yi was completely different.
Mitterrand paid special attention to Xiao Yi. After hearing the news, Grande knew what Ya meant, and immediately expressed his greatest kindness to the latter. Regardless of whether Xiao Yi could adapt to it or not, he gave him a hug with great enthusiasm. Next, he sent Zhang Liangfeng to Zhang Liangfeng. There was also the commander of the Jewish student soldiers, the commander of the military guard brigade of the Sixth Army, Aesop, who introduced him to Mitterrand.
Mitterrand was very curious about the Jews: "You are Jews. Oh, you joined the Cadet Army. That's good. The Chinese are the kindest nation in the world. Your choice is right."
The American expatriates boarded the ship first. This process was very short. They were already at the front of the queue, and there were only about 2,000 people.
At around 10:15, the Chinese began to board the ship. Lin Jiangshi and Hu Tiejun led the volunteers to form a human wall on both sides of the main road of the pier. They stood on a high place and shouted to the crowd: "Compatriots, don't mess up, let the children, the elderly and women Go ahead, we have enough ships to take everyone away."
Because of the obstruction of the British, the process of this "Great Chinese Rescue in Singapore and Malaysia" was quite tortuous, and the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia paid a heavy price for it. Not counting property losses, as many as 6,000 Chinese died at the hands of the British. Many of the remaining people originally fled with their whole families, but now they are either missing their father or their mother. The worst thing is that there are only one or two children left in the three generations of the family. This makes the team always filled with misery. Many people followed the flow of people towards the dock and looked back frequently, with tears hanging on their cheeks. They had not done anything until they boarded the ship. The experience of blood and fire enhanced the cohesion of the Chinese people. Lin Jiangshi and the others greeted As the fight continued, the young and middle-aged people took the initiative to step aside to let children, the elderly and women go first. Although the large team looked chaotic, it was still in good order.
Cui Lin led 3,000 volunteers at the very end. They had to be alert to possible organized counterattacks by the British army and frighten the scattered British soldiers, while at the same time they had to pick up the Chinese who were late.
The Chinese entered the dock in an orderly manner and then boarded the ship. Bai Sihua and the other British people watched from a distance, feeling burning in their hearts.
"Damn Americans, if they cared about their alliance, we should be the ones boarding the ship now." One of Bai Sihua's guards said,
"Commander, we can't let the yellow-skinned pig board the ship so easily. We, let's inform the Japanese," a staff officer said,
Just after he finished speaking, there was a "pop" and he was slapped hard by Bai Sihua, "Asshole, when did we soldiers of the British Empire fall into such a miserable state? Don't forget, the Japanese are our enemies. ." Bai Sihua cursed, with a righteous look,
The staff officer was stunned. He covered his mouth and muttered: "Commander, this, this is not contrary to your previous order."
"Idiot." Bai Sihua didn't bother to explain to him. He cursed angrily and then gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "It's no big deal, just go and plead with the Chinese. In any case, they are still nominally subjects of Her Majesty the Queen. As the ruler, Officer, it should be no problem to ask them to give up some cabin space."
Bai Sihua was making a difficult decision with a gloomy face. Suddenly someone reported, "General Percival is here." He turned around and saw a line of car lights coming from a distance. A few minutes later, Percival's The car squeaked and stopped beside him. Percival opened the door and jumped out, shouting: "Bai Sihua, oh no, the Dutch surrendered."
Bai Sihua was shocked, grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What's going on?"
For the "Great Retreat from Singapore", Bai Sihua withdrew all the British troops from the front line on the grounds that they were "tired from long battles" and replaced them with retinue troops from Australia and India and the Dutch troops who had defected to them. The offensive was not very violent, so the Dutch and the commanders of the two retinue divisions raised no objections. However, a fierce battle suddenly broke out in Singapore and was detected by the Japanese army. The Japanese, who did not know the truth, wanted to find out. At half past eight, they tentatively launched an unprecedentedly violent attack on the Dutch defense line. The Dutch had been frightened by the Japanese army in Indonesia as early as 2011. They couldn't tell whether the Japanese army was feigning an attack or a real attack. Therefore, it was incredible. A scene appeared. The Dutch army, which was more than a division, actually retreated steadily under the attack of a large group of Japanese troops. It only lasted for an hour and was completely defeated. The Japanese frontline commander felt that there was an advantage to be taken advantage of, so he threw in another large group. Well, the battle lasted for another half an hour, and the Dutch army was completely defeated. They could not even organize sporadic resistance. Then when the Japanese army rushed up, their commander actually surrendered directly to the Japanese.
The British defense line held by the Indian Army, the Dutch Army, and the Australian Army was at an angle. Once the Dutch Army in the middle was breached, the Indian Army and the Australian Army were in danger of being attacked from both sides. The commanders of the Indian Army and the Australian Army were worried about being attacked by the Japanese Army. After taking advantage of the situation, we made dumplings and said hello to each other, then sent a telegram to the British headquarters, and then directly abandoned the position and retreated, completely abandoning the forward position that the British army had spent a lot of effort to establish.
After listening to Percival's explanation of the battle situation on the front line, Bai Sihua felt as if a plate of ice water was being poured from head to toe. He shouted "Oh God" and fainted.
