Age of Conquest Reborn

On the afternoon of August 8, the worried commander of the Hengshan Brigade, together with a large group of staff from the brigade headquarters, ran to the frontline position where they faced off against the ** Division troops. Using binoculars, they observed the ** Division on the opposite side.

For a few hours, he personally asked the front-line commander about the changes in the position, and even the number of people in the ** division patrol team, and the answer he got was, "Everything is normal, there is no abnormality!"

It was not until dusk swallowed up the last glimmer of light on the Malay Peninsula that the commander of the Hengshan Brigade returned to the brigade headquarters in urban Singapore. He, his subordinates and the guards did not discover that there was a building opposite the brigade headquarters.

In a room of a five-story building, several young people nodded knowingly after witnessing his motorcade entering the brigade headquarters. Then, two of the young people quickly left.

After dinner, the leader of the Hengshan Brigade personally called the frontline troops to inquire about the situation. After receiving a positive answer, he called the commander of the troops responsible for demolition one by one, reiterated his orders, and hurriedly

After all this, it was already around ten o'clock at night. "Another nerve-wracking day has passed," Major General Hengshan, who was so tired that his whole body was limp, thought in distress. Then, he got into bed and snored like thunder in an instant.

At around twelve o'clock on the night of August 8, at the Kuala Lumpur front line, at the Singapore Campaign Headquarters of the ** Division, the division commander Tang Qiuli asked: "Yuhe, Guanghan, what is the progress rate of each unit, and where have they reached now!"

"

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe looked at the telegram in his hand and replied: "Division Commander, the Liu Hongzhang Brigade and Chu Ziye Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps and the Liao Zhenbang Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps. Each has two regiments of troops and has arrived in Kuala Lumpur.

The follow-up troops will arrive at the current location in thirty minutes. Commander Battelle's tank brigade is on standby outside Kuala Lumpur. They have just received orders from Commander Le Yiqin. The paratrooper regiment is on standby at the airport and is ready to take off.

preparation."

Tang Qiuli nodded and asked, "Is there anything going on with the fleet?"

The contact with the fleet was due to Guanghan, who replied: "Division commander, Commander Tang called thirty minutes ago. The fleet's torpedo boat detachment and gunboat detachment, under the command of the fleet's chief of staff Xin Xiguo, have arrived to lurk.

In the sea area, we are hiding and waiting!"

"Qi Hanzhi and the others, do you have any new reports?" Tang Qiuli asked again.

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Ten minutes ago, I received a secret telegram from Qi Hanzhi. The commander of the Japanese Hengshan Brigade, Yokoyama Kingoro, has just returned to the brigade headquarters. After that, he never went out again. The special operations detachment is closely monitoring it. In addition,

, with the assistance of Mr. Huang Lao, the various units of the special operations detachment have begun to approach the periphery of the Japanese army's blasting target. Without being noticed by the Japanese army, Qi Hanzhi has established air-ground contact with the Southern Flying Group to indicate the target for the paratroopers at any time."

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "That Yokoyama Kingoro, if he ran out at this time, he smelled something, right? Did Qi Hanzhi say anything unusual about the Japanese troops in the urban area of ​​Singapore?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "No, everything is normal!"

Tang Qiuli stretched himself and said, "Everything is ready, except for the final blow. Yuhe and Guanghan, you two will support me for a while. I'll go take a nap. Wake me up at two o'clock on time!"

Yu Guanghan said with a smile: "Commander, you go and have a rest. I haven't slept well in the past two days. Everything is going according to the original plan. Chief of Staff Zhao and I can stay here. The war is coming, so I can still sleep."

You are the only one who thinks so, I am convinced!

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Relax and relax. When the gunshots sound, we people will be useless!" After saying that, he turned around and entered the inner room. After a while, there was a slight snoring sound. Zhao Yuhe

He hurriedly signaled the staff officers and correspondents who were coming in and out to slow down their steps.

While Tang Qiuli was sleeping peacefully, Zhao Yuhe and Yu Guanghan were extremely busy. Several troops participating in the war reported incoming troops every thirty minutes or so.

At the same time, the original troops at the front were also monitoring the movements of the Japanese troops on the opposite side. By about 1:30 in the morning, all the attacking troops had arrived at the starting point of the attack.

At the same time, pre-war radio silence entered. The radio station was not allowed to be used casually unless it was important. The radio room, which had been ticking non-stop just now, suddenly became quiet. The staff officers and correspondents were all sitting quietly in their seats.

On the top, the hour hand pointed to two o'clock exactly. Zhao Yuhe and Yu Guanghan looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Tang Qiuli was woken up by Fu Qiang softly. He slept soundly and soundly. After waking up, he felt refreshed and his mind was clear. When the commander came out, Zhao Yuhe whispered: "Sir, the three brigades and

The attack force of a tank brigade is all in place, and the fighter and bomber formations of the Aviation Southern Flying Group and the fleet torpedo boats and gunboat detachments are on standby!"

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Send a report to Qi Hanzhi to confirm for the last time the movements of the Japanese troops in the urban area of ​​Singapore!"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Commander, a report was sent fifteen minutes ago, and Chief of Staff Qi Hanzhi called back. The Japanese army did not do anything unusual!"

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe with admiration, nodded, and said nothing. To be fair, Zhao Yuhe's proactive approach made Tang Qiuli's appreciation for him deepen. This is completely a matter of details.

, many people would not think of it, but Zhao Yuhe just thought of it and did it.

At 2:15 in the morning on August 8, more than 30 large transport aircraft took off from the Myitkyina base of the Southern Aviation Group and flew towards Singapore. On board the transport aircraft were more than 2,000 paratroopers from the paratrooper regiment.

officers and soldiers.

At three o'clock in the morning, Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe: "Order, the attack on the Japanese troops in Singapore begins!"

Major General Battelle, commander of the armored forces, issued the order in his armored command vehicle: "Start the assault!"

On this dim night with dark clouds covering the moon, the front line of Kuala Lumpur on the Malay Peninsula, the forward positions of the Army Division began to come alive. More than 300 tanks, following an order, suddenly accelerated towards a few kilometers away.

Japanese army position, like a gust of wind

The ground, galloping away, behind the tanks, there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from three infantry brigades, swift figures, no shouts, no fierce artillery preparations, only the rolling torrent of steel, all tactics, and the attack on Hong Kong

Time is exactly the same.

In the silent night, the tanks quickly approached the Japanese position with a roar that shook the earth. At the front of the tank column was a row of mine-sweeping tanks pushing mines. The explosions of mines being detonated finally woke up the people on the position.

The Japanese soldiers waited for them to react. In their blurred vision, they saw huge steel monsters, which were already in front of them.

The battle finally started. The slow response of the Japanese army and the lack of anti-tank weapons made the battle one-sided from the beginning. The tank troops broke through the Japanese defense line with almost no fierce fighting. Immediately, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed.

The soldiers of the division poured in like a tide along the breach several kilometers wide, advancing in depth attack.

The sudden attack disrupted the Japanese army's position. A reinforced Japanese regiment deployed at the front was soon overwhelmed by the violent attack of the Japanese division. The extremely disparity in strength and the sudden attack made the Japanese army

The originally thin defense was quickly divided into countless fragments. After being hit by dozens of tank shells, the Japanese coalition headquarters was reduced to a pile of ruins. The commander of the Hengshan Brigade could no longer get any help.

Any news from the cutting edge.

In downtown Singapore, where the headquarters of the Japanese Army's Yokoyama Brigade is located, in the building opposite, a radio station is continuously sending signals. A few minutes later, the low roar of an engine is heard in the sky, and the sound is getting closer and closer.

Soon, more than 30 large transport planes appeared in the sight of the Japanese sentries. In the dim street lights of the city in the early morning, you could vaguely see countless white umbrella flowers blooming in the dark clouds.

The Japanese sentries were stunned. They had never seen so many parachutes falling from the sky, and they even forgot to shoot. In fact, facing the parachutes blooming all over the sky, they did not know where to aim and shoot, waiting for the Japanese sentries.

When he reacted, as soon as a bullet was fired from the muzzle, he was hit by a sniper rifle bullet fired from the building opposite, sending him flying backwards.

After several gunshots, more than 800 paratroopers from the First Battalion of the Parachute Regiment of the ** Division had accurately airborne inside and outside the Japanese brigade and regiment headquarters. Under the leadership of the special operations team members, some paratroopers quickly seized advantageous positions and prepared to attack.

Block the day of reinforcements coming

Some of the army troops rushed towards various targets. Immediately, there was a burst of short and intensive gunfire from submachine guns and the screams of dying Japanese soldiers. Then, it returned to calm. On the contrary, the sound of gunfire coming from the north of Singapore became more and more intense.

It's becoming clearer.

The commander of the Hengshan Brigade was awakened by the sound of gunfire. He jumped out of bed and immediately understood what had happened. It must be the troops of the ** Division, coming over. The strange thing is why he did not receive the call from the frontline troops.

According to the report, could it be that the troops of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli fell from the sky?

The first thing Major General Yokoyama Kingoro had to do was to order the bomb to be detonated immediately to cover the evacuation of the Imperial Army. As for the reinforced unit at the front, he no longer had any hope. Yokoyama rushed towards the telephone. In fact, in

When the Parachute Regiment airborne, the phone line had been cut by the special operations team members, and his call would never be able to be made. However, Major General Yokoyama did not know this.

"Crash!" There was a loud sound of glassware being shattered on the ground. In a hurry, Major General Hengshan knocked over the table in the room, and all the things on the table fell to the ground. The sound was loud enough, and then, there was another crash.

There were a few crisp noises, the glass on the window shattered, and several dark, round objects fell into the house with sparks "chichi".
