After Chi Sizhengxiong's all-out storm attack plan failed, the enemy also organized a powerful counterattack in the hope of driving the Empire's locust troops into the sea. k First update But in the same way, the enemy's counterattack also suffered a devastating blow. The 2000 counterattack
More than half of the remaining troops were destroyed, and the remaining enemies returned in despair.
This time, Chi Sizhengxiong did not miss this good opportunity. Instead, he ordered his troops to follow closely behind the enemy's remnants and launch a counterattack regardless of the consequences.
Under Chi Sizhengxiong's order, the Japs soldiers of the Locust Army launched a mad charge as if they had been beaten to death. This time, because the enemy was afraid of accidentally killing their own troops, they did not dare to use heavy firepower, giving the Locust Army an opportunity.
This charge of the locust troops advanced more than 3 kilometers deep into the enemy.
At this time, the momentum of the locust troops was blocked by the enemy's heavy firepower. Because the enemy's remnants had broken away from the locust troops, the enemy, who had no scruples, was able to go all out to block the locust troops.
The locust troops were forced to retreat one kilometer and established temporary positions to confront the enemy.
In fact, Chi Sizhengxiong was forced to do this because he had no choice. In the early battles between the Lanfang Army and the Indian Army, the Locust Japs troops he led performed extremely poorly in combat. On the contrary, the Locust troops surpassed the Korean Army.
The performance is particularly eye-catching.
Originally, the Japanese had great hatred towards the Locust Chariot Army. You must know that when the Chinese Empire fought against the Japanese Empire, the massacre in the Imperial Capital of the Japanese was caused by the Locust Chariot Army. Therefore, the Japanese had a special hatred towards the Chao People.
Now, although everyone is in the same camp, they are unnaturally competing with each other.
This time, Chi Si Zhengxiong took the initiative to apply to be the first vanguard. His main purpose was to completely overwhelm the opponent in terms of military exploits.
Similarly, the Chao people also had a deep hatred for the Japs, because after the Chao people launched the July 17th coup in the 11th year of Guangxu's reign (Jiashen coup), the Japs' government at the time suddenly sent troops to launch a war against the Chao people and massacred the uprising.
Chao people, causing Chao country to flow into rivers of blood.
With this kind of hatred, there would be the subsequent massacre in Tokyo and the extermination of the Japanese Emperor and his clan.
Since the Chao army followed the empire earlier, it received more training than the Japanese. Therefore, in the last battle between the Lanfang Army and the Heyin colonial army, the Chao army performed well.
Although the two parties hate each other, in the large group of the Imperial Locust Troops, they dare not do anything excessive. After all, the discipline of the Imperial Locust Troops is extremely strict, and the punishment for those who violate military regulations or are discordant in the team is even more severe.
harsh.
Therefore, they turned this hatred into mutual competition within the Locust Army. Over time, three factions were naturally formed within the Locust Army, with the Japs and Negroes on one side, the Chao people and Yue people on the other, and finally
There are also other mercenaries in Southeast Asia who are centrists.
This time, Chi Sizhengxiong finally competed for the qualification to be a vanguard. How could he not perform his best? Besides, what's the harm if a few more Japanese soldiers die? The empire's family pensions for the Locust soldiers who died in the battle are quite high.
Yes, the Japs in the country have Japs who want to join the Locust Army. Their idea is that it is better to die in battle than to starve to death at home!
Another point is that in the second batch of locust troops that followed, the main force was Chi Si Zhengxiong’s most hated Chao Li Xidou.
Tu Sha is a standard Ergouzi butcher!) The locust overpowering army he leads.
Chi Sizhengxiong didn't want to give Li Xidou a chance to win credit. This was the main reason why he moved forward at all costs!
In the South and East China Sea, the Second Task Force, after learning that Ji Si Zhengxiong crushed the enemy's counterattack, used escort aircraft carrier aircraft, naval guns, light armored vehicles, and landing artillery units to support the ground troops in launching attacks, and coordinated with multiple arms
The operation progressed rapidly, and the landing site was almost doubled in size...
A few hours later, the city of Mersing was captured, and at the same time, an enemy's simple early warning airfield was captured. However, the enemy had destroyed it before escaping. After emergency repairs, the empire's artillery fired observation planes and other light aircraft.
, it is now possible to take off and land at this airport.
Before dusk, the enemy made two more large-scale dark attacks, but both ended in failure. At this time, the empire had completed the bridgehead fortifications east of Mersing City, and the empire was supporting the army, armored vehicles, and artillery.
Corps, and even a small number of tank troops, are landing on the bridgehead in a steady stream.
In the absence of effective air threats and naval support, the enemy was unable to prevent the Empire from landing subsequent reinforcements.
After two consecutive failed night attacks, the Malacca Command of the John Bull Empire knew that it could no longer drive the Imperial Army into the sea, so it had to change its tactics and ordered the Mersing Defense Area troops to rely on the favorable terrain to carry out strong defense and stay put to wait for reinforcements;
They also urgently mobilized the army troops originally defending the Kuantan defense area to come to Mersing for support; in addition, they sent a telegram requesting the Aozhou and Yindu headquarters to reinforce troops to Malacca. However, at this time, the Malacca Strait waters were completely controlled by the Imperial Navy.
Facing the threat of the Empire's First East China Sea Task Force that has appeared in the waters north of Malacca, the reinforcements can only look at the sea and lament that they cannot reach Malacca at all.
The enemy's Kuantan defense area was unable to complete the task of reinforcements. Because at the same time, the Imperial East China Sea Third Task Force and some of the main ships of the Empire's South China Sea Third Task Force began to bombard the Kuantan enemy defense area. After establishing a bridgehead
, the 1st Reinforced Division of the Army in the Empire's Southern Theater Command made a forced landing. Effectively suppressing the enemy's reinforcements.
On the second day, the Empire's first and second echelon Locust Army troops launched a fierce offensive against the enemy's north, west and southern defense zones with Mersing City as the center. The Empire's Locust Army troops, with sufficient supplies, under the cover of the air force, launched a fierce offensive.
Follow the armored corps and quickly advance towards the enemy in three directions.
In the evening of the third day, the Imperial Army troops took Mersing as the center and penetrated into the enemy's western Batu Pahat defense area. Strategically, the enemy's defense line on Sima Lai Island was cut into north and south by the Imperial Army.
block, and formed an encirclement situation on the enemy's main defense area, the Singapore military base.
After the Empire captured Mersing City, the Empire Logistics Department urgently built a large temporary airport on the outskirts of Mersing City. All kinds of Empire bombers and reconnaissance aircraft could transfer here and station at the airport. In this way
As a result, the bomber's continuous strike capability becomes more powerful.
The Malacca High Command of the John Bull Empire, with no hope of waiting for reinforcements, was forced to order the troops to shrink the defense line. The John Bull Empire has basically turned into three separate defense sections in the entire Malacca area. One is the main defensive position~
Singapore fortress position group;
The second is the defense line from Kuantan and its north; the third is the defense line from Malacca to Kuala Lumpur. Because the empire’s main strike force is all concentrated near the enemy’s main defense line in Singapore, the connection between the enemy’s Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan is
It's not completely cut off.
Under the dispatch of the opponent's Singapore High Command, the main forces of the enemy's Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur defense lines continuously attacked and put pressure on the first and second echelon defense lines of the empire in the hope of reducing the pressure on the enemy's main defense area. The enemy's general headquarters has already
Abandoning other scattered positions, the defenders were withdrawn to the Singapore fortress group to prepare for long-term defense.
Late at night on the fourth day, the joint forces of the John Bull Empire and Uncle Sam dispatched nearly 20 barges from the Beizhou military port to carry a force in an attempt to implement a counter-landing in Denpasha in order to achieve the strategic goal of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, but they failed halfway.
However, it was discovered by the Tianergou ghost submarine, and the coastal defense fleet was immediately called in to eliminate it.
The counterattacks in the direction of Kuantan and Kuala Lumpur were also met with a head-on attack by the Imperial Locust Army, resulting in extremely heavy losses. At this time, the John Bull Empire Singapore Headquarters finally realized that due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, a counterattack was impossible.
What role does it play, and then readjust the deployment and organize the defense line based on the island's special jungle geography...
On the sixth day, the imperial attack lines in Malacca advanced step by step towards the enemy's defense line, compressing the enemy to an extremely narrow range. The imperial marines and rear reinforcements who forcibly landed from the enemy's Singapore naval port also
They advanced deep into the military port and occupied the former command post of Commander-in-Chief John Bull.
After the John Bull Empire's Singapore military port is completely controlled by the Empire, subsequent Imperial support troops can fully support land operations without any worries.
The deputy commander-in-chief of the Southern Theater of the Empire, Xiao Mei Lan, led a large staff group to the former enemy headquarters in Singapore and took over the front-line army command. After arriving at the front-line temporary headquarters, Xiao Mei Lan immediately took full responsibility
Organize the unloading of supplies to ensure the logistical supply of the landing force.
At this time, the hidden fixed-depth mines in John Bull Emperor's harbor were successively removed by the imperial minesweeper. The imperial minesweeper was able to completely solve the huge hidden danger of the enemy's fixed-depth mine position in such a short period of time.
The main credit was given to Zhou Yu for providing the location of the mines.
In view of the fact that when a mine-sweeping ship conducts mine-clearing operations, the deployment of mine-sweeping equipment is complicated and time-consuming, and the mine-sweeping operation lasts a long time. At the same time, the ship itself faces greater dangers. Therefore, in order to conduct mine countermeasures operations more effectively and safely, Zhou Yu used Shenlong
The special function of the ship is to provide information on enemy minefields to the Imperial minesweeper fleet.
And he himself, after providing the enemy's mine-laying information, returned to the imperial capital, because Tesla invited him!
