When he discovered the Japanese military camp on the way to the prisoner-of-war camp, Guo Kui expected that this would be another major threat to the rescue operation. Therefore, the battle in the prisoner-of-war camp had just achieved an overwhelming advantage, so he ordered the helicopter brigade to Withdrew from the battle, and then said to the captain Sun Lei: "Fat man, do you still remember the military camp we bypassed when we came here?"
Sun Lei nodded,
"The Japs there will definitely come over to support you after hearing the news. You don't have much ammunition. Think of a way to see if you can get the Japs' Type 92 heavy machine gun up there."
Sun Lei understood the idea, discussed it with the rest of the brigade, and then spent about twenty minutes strapping a Type 92 heavy machine gun to each Haidong Qing.
They had just finished the work here, and the battle in the prisoner-of-war camp was over. Then, when Guo Kui and Willy formed the prisoners of war, they set off first,
With the addition of six Type 92 heavy machine guns and a certain number of bullets, the combat time of the six Haidongqings has been greatly extended. Just as Ouyang Yun hoped when he decided to develop the helicopter, they have become special forces performing special operations. He was the biggest firepower exporter during the mission, but he was able to contain a whole group of Japanese soldiers by himself.
There were more than 34,800 British prisoners of war. From the more than 5,000 people who signed up, 1,500 were selected into combat troops under the command of Willie. The others were divided into ten brigades. The breakout operation began immediately.
The Jungle Special Forces Brigade was responsible for breaking up the rear. As every prisoner of war group passed by Guo Kui, he shouted to them in half-familiar English: "Gentlemen, the decision of fate has returned to your own hands. Whether you can live or not is yours." It's up to you to leave Singapore, and run for your family."
Willie, who led thousands of British soldiers armed with little devil's weapons to open the way, gave a more sensational speech: "Gentlemen, think about your families, think about your young and beautiful wife, think about your cleverness. Lovely children, if you don’t want them to lose their husbands and fathers, then run bravely.”
Ten minutes later, Guo Kui received Sun Lei's report and learned that they had encountered the Japanese army and that the Japanese army was heading towards Linrou Beach. He immediately judged that the Japanese army was preparing to seize control of Linrou Beach and immediately reported it to Wang Changlong. After receiving this information, he suggested that he could ambush the little Japs, "...it's just a regiment of Japs, only ten of them can be spread on each person. Xiao Wang, let all the brothers see blood." Finally he said this,
The work of the jungle special forces was quite efficient. At this time, using the universal engineering shovel, Wang Changlong and Lu Zhibai had built beach fortifications with certain defensive capabilities on Linrou Beach. The combat advantage of the special forces was the small team. forms of sneak attacks and surprise attacks, so although Wang Changlong had to build beachhead fortifications for the mission, Wang Changlong still preferred to fight mobile warfare in his heart and eliminate the Japanese in mobile warfare.
After understanding the scale of the incoming Japs, he was quite moved by Guo Kui's suggestion, so he discussed with Lu Zhibai and prepared to send a few teams out to fight the ambush of the Japs. But just when they started to issue the command, Song Yuanzhuang's One sentence suddenly gave them a better idea. Song Yuanzhuang pointed to the Z fleet warship parked on the sponge three kilometers away and said: "Why bother? The British cannons are standing there, and Commander Phillips Just tell them to listen to our call and give the little devil a sharp blow, which is much more effective than an ambush."
Because Qi Minghao and the others lacked artillery, although they controlled large ships, they were actually only superficial and did not have the ability to strike. Different from this, although the British Fleet Z looked a bit awkward because it did not have battleships. It's thin, but because it has a complete system, it can be put into battle at any time.
Lu Zhibai made the decision: "Yes, this task will be left to your Red Fox Team."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission." Song Yuanzhuang proposed this suggestion for this reason. He immediately saluted and summoned others to leave.
The Red Fox team broke away from the main force and disappeared into the jungle not far away. Lei Tianwei on the side felt itchy when he saw it. He thought they were going to perform some other mission. He walked up to Lu Zhibai and said with a smile on his face: "Tuan Zuo , you can’t be biased, I don’t have any problem with you giving the Red Fox Team a small chance, but you also have to take care of our Tianwei Team.”
Lu Zhibai glanced at Wang Changlong and then said with a straight face: "Do you think this is a child's fruit-splitting? Just go back and lie down. The battle will start later. If someone in your Tianwei team slips, I will spank you." .”
Lei Tianwei walked away in despair. Lu Zhibai said to Wang Changlong: "I don't understand the rules."
Wang Changlong smiled and said: "As long as we can fight, these are just minor details and can be ignored."
Lu Zhibai also smiled: "Indeed."
Based on their understanding of the combat power of their unit, even though they knew that fighting positional warfare limited the performance of their young men, Wang Changlong and Lu Zhibai were still full of belief in victory. In their view, let alone a unit of Japanese soldiers, Even if they are a brigade or even a division, they are sure to hold on until Guo Kui and the others return.
Not only the two military commanders, but Lei Tianwei and the others also performed the same. After completely gaining the upper hand in the confrontation with Xiongfeng and Yamato Soul, the jungle special warfare at this time was fully qualified to psychologically despise any enemy. ,
When Wang Changlong and Lu Zhibai were "talking and laughing", because they received the telegram that Guo Kui successfully attacked the prisoner of war camp, Phillips and Z Fleet Chief of Staff Simmons were in a good mood, and they were also "talking and laughing".
"It's incredible. One hundred and fifty soldiers defeated two thousand Japanese troops in less than half an hour. This kind of combat power," Simmons said,
"Seeing how serious the Chinese were, I felt that this rescue operation was interesting, but I didn't expect that it would be so easy to succeed. I felt that it was right to hand over the French Far East Fleet to them. With this desperate spirit, maybe They can really cause a lot of trouble for the Japanese." Phillips continued, and then he remembered the telegram he had received about the appearance of the Japanese main fleet in the area of Labuan Island, and added: "The Japanese main fleet is not in the offshore waters of Singapore. Commander-in-Chief Wavell has already lured the Kisarajin Air Force to Moulmein. In fact, we have succeeded in this operation. Now I am very curious about what method the Chinese thought of to lure the Japanese main fleet to the vicinity of Labuan Island. "
"Your Majesty Commander, don't the Chinese already have a fleet?"
"It is really possible, and the performance of Qi Minghao and the others is proof."
"Perhaps it was the Americans who helped. The Americans and the Chinese are very close. The 'Singapore Retreat' was because the Americans sided with the Chinese."
Before Simmons could finish his words, he was interrupted by Phillips, who said sternly: "Simons, don't talk about this matter again. Remember, no matter what, whether it is now or in the future, the United States is our Great Britain." Allies of the empire must keep this in mind, you know.”
"Yes, I remember."
Suddenly, the deputy chief of staff of the fleet ran over and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, Deputy Commander Wang of the Xuebing Army has requested to speak with you."
Phillips responded and went back to the captain's room.
A few minutes later, he hung up the phone and said to Simmons: "The Chinese have asked us to provide artillery support. Go and prepare the ships immediately." Then he looked at the structures built by the jungle special forces on the beach in the distance with bright eyes. The beach fortification said to himself: "It seems that this rescue operation has really been completed."
