The two Americans exchanged pleasantries and began to introduce their foreign partners to each other. Fei
"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 leader of New 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. At that 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 dully. Mrs. Mitterrand suddenly let out a scream, and then collapsed on him
Everyone who saw this scene thought that Mitterrand and the others were dead. At this moment, Xiao Yi jumped up and kicked the grenade away with a flying kick.
With a "boom", the grenade exploded in the air about 20 meters above the ground. Although several American expatriates were injured by shrapnel, luckily no one died. Mitterrand had already done this.
He was 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 this, Grande knew what Ya meant and immediately expressed his greatest kindness to the latter. Regardless of whether Xiao Yi adapted 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 cadets, Brigadier Aesop of the Military Guard Brigade of the Sixth Army, who introduced him to Mitterrand.
Mitterrand was very curious about the Jews: "Are you Jews? Oh, you joined the cadet army? Very good, the Chinese are the kindest nation in the world, and your choice is right."
The American expatriates boarded the ship first, and the 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 first. 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.
The remaining people. Many people originally fled with their whole families, but now they are missing either 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 pier and looked back frequently, with tears hanging on their cheeks. They did not stop until they boarded the ship. The experience of blood and fire enhanced the cohesion of the Chinese people. Lin Jiangshi and others greeted
As the fight continued, the young and middle-aged people took the initiative to step aside and let children, the elderly and women go first. Although the large team looked disorganized, it was still in good order.
Cui Lin walked at the back with three thousand volunteers. 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 other British people watched from a distance, feeling as if their hearts were burning.
"Damn the Americans, if they cared about their alliance, we should be the ones boarding the ship right now," one of Bai Sihua's guards said.
"Commander, we can't let the yellow-skinned pig board the ship so easily. Let's, let's inform the Japanese?!" said a staff officer.
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, looking upright and awe-inspiring.
The staff officer was stunned. He covered his mouth and muttered: "Commander, this, is this not inconsistent with 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 people. In any case, they are still nominally subjects of Her Majesty the Queen. As consuls
, it should be no problem to ask them to give up some cabin space, right?"
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 stopped beside him with a creaking sound. Percival opened the door and jumped out, shouting: "Bai Sihua, oh no! The Dutch have surrendered!"
Bai Sihua was shocked, grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What's going on?"
For the "Great Retreat to 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 Dutch troops who had defected to them. Because of the Japanese troops' attacks in the past few days,
The offensive was not very violent, so the Dutch and the commanders of the two subordinate divisions raised no objections. However, because a fierce battle suddenly broke out in Singapore, it 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, and they couldn't tell whether the Japanese army was feigning an attack or a real attack. So, 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, so he threw in another large group.
Well, the battle lasted for another half an hour, and the Dutch army was completely defeated, and they could not even organize sporadic resistance. Then when the Japanese army rushed up, its 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 immediately in danger of being attacked from both sides. The commanders of the Indian Army and the Australian Army were worried that they would be attacked by the Japanese Army.
After taking advantage of the situation, we made dumplings, said hello to each other, and sent a telegram to the British Army 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, and he fainted after shouting "Oh God".
