"I saw with my own eyes a Japanese soldier who aimed for at least three minutes before firing a bullet. From my perspective, the Chinese soldier opposite had already been pinned by the Japanese, but I only saw his body trembling slightly. Suddenly, the Japanese soldier's shot actually missed." This is the recollection of the rescue operation by a British World War II veteran who survived several years later.
Even though he was in prison, it did not hinder the British aesthetic concept. The performance of the Jungle Special Forces Brigade in this battle was so outstanding. A team of seven people fought. The coordination and cooperation were like fighting alone. ,
Guo Kui's original battle plan was to deal with the surrounding sentries first, but the thousands of Japanese soldiers running around empty-handed were too tempting, so he temporarily decided to give the little Japanese a central flower.
With ten strange-looking fighter planes and less than two hundred cadets, Colonel Kamei Matsuhito thought they could completely withstand them at first. However, a quarter of an hour later, the soldiers rushing towards him from three directions with the duty brigade were all damaged. When they were all gone, the prisoners of war's shouts of "Come on, Chinese!" resounded through the sky. The little Japanese was panicked, and then he remembered to ask for help.
late,
When a sub-camp was breached, more than 2,000 British prisoners of war were liberated. There were always some brave ones among the more than 2,000 British soldiers. They immediately picked up Japanese weapons and joined the battle. Soon, the Japanese army was not only in terms of momentum, but also in terms of strength. He was also at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. As Kamei and the phone in his hand were shattered by Kaitoqing's artillery fire, a blind sound reached Ikeda's ears, and the little Japanese knew that something big had happened in the prisoner of war camp.
Ouchi Yoshifumi's 5th Marine Division only has the 9th Marine Brigade in Singapore. As a rotating unit of the Garrison General Headquarters, this brigade is responsible for all of Singapore's defense, so there is only one left in the military camp at this time. The 17th Regiment, the military camp is about ten kilometers away from the prisoner of war camp. It is not too far if there are military cards to travel with. However, because the military cards were all taken out by the rotating troops, the old devil received the call from Shan County. They could only lead the team to run forward, but they couldn't get up any faster even if they wanted to. The military situation was so fierce that the little devils of the 17th Regiment were up to par. They ran desperately one by one, covering more than seven kilometers in an hour. I can see the thick smoke rising from the direction of the prisoner of war camp.
At this moment, Major Kiyoshi Kojima, the chief of staff of the 17th Regiment, blocked in front of Ouchi Yoshifumi's armored vehicle and waved a telegram stating that he had received a new order from the headquarters.
After losing contact with the prisoner-of-war camp, Koizumi Minichiro was not angry but frightened. He knew the defense situation of the prisoner-of-war camp, and based on his understanding, even if the Wolf Fang came, the two brigades of the imperial army could resist it. For a while, there was no problem in guarding for at least two or three hours. However, it had only been less than an hour since the discovery of the French warship and it had lost contact with the prisoner of war camp. He had to think carefully, "Could it be that this person is here?" It's impossible for Langya to be at the brigade level. There are only a few people in Langya in total. Langya is Ouyang Yun's ace unit. From what I know about him, there is absolutely no way he would sacrifice Langya for someone who has nothing to do with him."
Hearing Koizumi mention the Wolf Fang, Yamagata thought of Xiongfeng and Yamatohun, so he said: "Koizumi-kun, let Xiongfeng and Yamatohun go out."
Xiaoquan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then thought for a moment: "We'll talk about it later, we have to figure out the situation first."
Yamagata frowned and was about to say something when Ikeda ran in again. He said with a sad face: "Report, Major General Haneda called, they, they are still about 450 nautical miles away from Singapore."
Yamagata was startled, and then he and Koizumi looked at each other, and the two cursed almost at the same time: "Hachi." Koizumi: "What's going on with Haneda Miaojizhu? We asked them to return yesterday, why did they only go two hundred nautical miles?" No, is he a tortoise? No, a tortoise can crawl faster than him."
Ikeda lowered his head and dared not speak at all.
Being stunned by the news, Koizumi shouted to Hatono: "Get Sankeye Yamabekawa for me immediately."
"Sir, Mr. Yamabe has gone to Moulmein. Do you want to send him a telegram?"
"Ba Ge, let him come back immediately."
A quarter of an hour later, Ikeda, who was already numb, came back and reported that Moulmein Airport had called back. Because Colonel Yamabe was facing the enemy, he could not execute the order for the time being.
At this time, Xiaoquan was about to cry without tears. The little devil limped around, and after a long time he concentrated his attention and asked Shan County: "Your Excellency, you are a senior, do you have any good countermeasures? "
If it were normal times, Koizumi's "senior" would definitely make Shanxian feel happy. However, at this moment, how could he still be in such a mood? He thought about it seriously and said: "Don't there still be two ships at the Mersing Port base?" Transport submarines? Send them out. It's good to scare the French. There is only the 17th Regiment between the prisoner of war camp and Linrou Beach. The 17th Regiment is rushing to the prisoner of war camp. All we can do now is wait for reconnaissance. We will read the aircraft’s reconnaissance report and then take appropriate measures.”
About a quarter of an hour later, after losing a reconnaissance plane, the airport finally called the reconnaissance report. After reading the report, Koizumi and Shanxian's first reaction was to take a breath, and then Shanxian immediately called Mersing The base called and asked the commander there to withdraw the two transport submarines. At the same time, he suggested that Koizumi have the 17th Wing rush to Linrou Beach immediately to destroy the beachhead just established by the Chinese.
The British Z fleet was all dispatched, plus seven large ships of the French Far East Fleet. Its size exceeded 30 ships, almost covering the sea area around Linrou Beach. This made Koizumi and Yamagata shocked.
Since the Western Expedition Fleet landed in Southeast Asia, it has been in a state of attack. After taking over all of Malaysia and occupying the territories of Burma and Thailand on the Malay Peninsula, the Malacca Canal has become an inland river for the Japanese, so the British are concerned about repairing it. The issue of the forts on both sides of the eastern section of the canal's entrance has been put on hold. If both aircraft carrier groups are there, it really doesn't matter whether there are forts or not. However, as the aircraft carrier group and Hainan Airlines have been mobilized, there is no defensive fort. The disadvantages are immediately highlighted,
"Your Excellency, you are here to coordinate the overall situation. I will lead my troops to reinforce Lieutenant General Ouchi. The enemy situation is unknown. The 17th Regiment alone may not be able to prevent the enemy from breaking out." Koizumi said to Yamagata, and then ordered Hatono to immediately gather the commander-in-chief. Ten minutes later, he took a new armored vehicle and drove to Linrou Beach with two groups of military police.
After receiving the order, Ouchi Yoshifumi immediately ordered the troops to turn around. As soon as they adjusted their direction, two Kaitoqings of the Jungle Special Forces Brigade, which were on reconnaissance missions, came over and fired a series of cannon fire and a burst of machine gun fire. Ten Japs fell in a pool of blood, and the Japs officers who were lagging behind had just organized a counterattack when two Haidongqings suddenly moved up and out of their range. A pair of squadrons could only watch helplessly after firing a burst of empty guns. Everyone was so angry that they were half to death,
Ouchi Yoshifumi saw this scene through the telescope. The old Japanese was shocked and at the same time very angry. He was urging the troops to speed up and advance towards Linrou Beach. The six Haidong Qings gathered together and killed them together. Come, and then it’s like a plaster that sticks to the 17th Regiment and never leaves.
The harassment of the six Haitung Blues had a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese army. If the Japanese ignored them, the jungle special combat pilots flying Haitung Qings would shoot at them unscrupulously. Once the Japanese organized a counterattack, they would run away and wait for the enemy. Neihuan made up his mind to single out a large group to fight against them, but they suddenly scattered and flew away.
After so many struggles, the Little Japs were not only wiped out nearly a squadron, but most importantly, their speed was slowed down. What the Little Japs couldn't accept was that their air defense force had increased to a brigade, but they still lost There is no way around this kind of harassment.
