Chapter four hundred and seventy seventh: Sympathy
The fire that soared into the sky after the bombing, so that the ship soldiers on the Southern Empire Sea can still see the fire shooting into the sky.*..*!Book.* This is the most unprecedented bombing in history, far worse than the original Niu York fire.
It's more intense and more violent. Only an army under the influence of a leader like Zhou Yu can carry out such "extravagant" bombings.
At 6 o'clock in the morning on the eighth day, under the order of Miss Lan, the commander-in-chief of the front line, the 40,000-strong garrison of the Hong Kong Empire Army, which had long been re-armed and ready to go, marched in uniform steps towards the enemy who had been bombed for a whole day yesterday.
The occupied defense line advanced. But what they encountered was not resistance, but a horrific hell scene.
Violent explosions and fires destroyed most of the man-made buildings, and several fires were still burning after dawn.
Thousands of ghosts died of suffocation due to exhaustion of oxygen due to combustion. The most tragic situation was especially in low-lying areas. When the fire started, people lacking oxygen rushed to jump into the water to survive. As a result, the low-lying areas were filled with corpses as black as charcoal.
Only a few ghosts escaped death by hiding in the strongest fortresses. But even so, the piles of suffocated corpses inside those fortified fortresses were horrifying.
Those who are still alive, even if there are weapons around them, no longer have the mentality to resist, but are chanting in their mouths: "Fire...fire..."
On the eighth day, there was basically no fighting. In addition to cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers were responsible for putting out fires. Only a handful of the most elite marines pushed deeper into the enemy positions until they encountered large-scale organized resistance again.
Only then did everyone stop moving forward.
Since the soldiers were well prepared. Everyone basically wore a gas mask, it looked like a biological war.
On that day, the John Bull Empire base camp in Aozhou tried every means to organize reinforcements to Malacca. However, because the northern waters of Malacca had been completely blocked by the Empire's First East China Sea Task Force, the reinforcements could not reach Malacca smoothly at all.
After learning about the situation, the base camp once again organized a rapid response fleet of more than 30 medium-sized warships, which originally wanted to enter the southern waters of Malacca from the Lombok Strait. However, before reaching the Lombok Strait, it was discovered by the Imperial shore-based reconnaissance aircraft, and
Forced back by the local fleet.
On the ninth day, after a day of reinforcements and preparations, the empire's 10,000 elite army troops in the bombing area cooperated with more than 50,000 locust army troops. They were divided into three arrows, from the east, west, and middle directions, with armored divisions, and locust automobiles and motorcycles.
The regiment takes the lead and attacks deeper into the enemy's northern defensive positions.
At the same time, the Imperial Army on the front line of Mersing also implemented tactical containment to the north and south.
At dawn on the ninth day, after two hours of intense artillery preparations, the three fronts launched a general attack at the same time. However, the progress of the 1st and 2nd Locust Negi Mechanic Regiments in the middle was extremely slow. One hour after the attack, they encountered strong resistance.
The offensive situation was quite weak, causing the entire division to drag down the overall situation.
The Jaap Corps with two mechanics on its left wing has broken through the enemy's defense line in the west and penetrated into the depth of the Guilao Army. At the same time, the two mechanic regiments on its right wing have also broken through the eastern defense line in the Guilao Army and penetrated into the depth of the Guilao Army.
In the position, the entire front forms a U shape. The two wings protrude and lag behind in the middle;
Due to the delay of the Negro enemy's 1st and 2nd Mechanic Regiments, the flanks of the Mechanic Regiments on both wings were exposed and they could not continue to move forward, so they had to stop.
The reason for this is that the Japs Corps and the Chao Corps are both units specially formed by the empire to carry out landing operations and special warfare. Not only have they received special training in amphibious warfare, but their senior officers also clearly know that the Japs and the Chao
A state in which people secretly compete;
The two troops are extremely life-threatening in daily training, and they also have the consciousness of being cannon fodder in their own minds. Therefore, the two troops have a tenacious fighting style and a tenacious fighting will.
Looking back at the Black Devil Legion, their training ground is not as airtight as that of the Japs and Chaos. At the same time, they have no sense of competition, and they have not received strict training in special warfare. When they suddenly encounter the enemy's tenacious blockage, they dare not bravely attack or attack.
Take a detour, but stop and wait for fire support...
Sometimes it is even exaggerated to the point that a single heavy machine gun firepower point of a ghost can block the advance of a battalion of black devils.
Faced with such a situation, Xiaomei Lan, the first female lieutenant general in the empire, who was known as a hero among women, was furious and immediately dismissed the two division commanders of the Black Devils, and disciplined them, demoting them three levels or more.
Especially effective.
The two divisions were temporarily commanded by Liang Yong, and the new division commanders of the two divisions would be re-selected after the war. Subsequently, under the unified command of Liang Yong, the two black ghost divisions that had previously performed poorly became a comprehensive offensive.
Acting vigorously and resolutely, the situation began to improve.
After several days of fierce fighting, the troops on both wings finally penetrated the enemy's defense lines on both wings. On the northern line of the enemy's last main position in Singapore, on the south bank of the Johor Strait, the Japanese Army Corps and the Chao Army Corps victoriously met their divisions.
The last remaining enemy position, 164 meters above sea level, is also a position built around Mount Bukit Timah, the highest mountain in Singapore.
After capturing the highest mountain peak - Bukit Timah Peak, the John Bull Empire's most powerful military base in the Malacca area was completely taken over by the Empire. And the Empire's large forces could skip the Strait of Johor and then head towards the narrower terrain.
, the densely jungled, Xi Ma Lai stormed the southern area of Johor Bahru.
At this time, there was no Johor Causeway connecting the two places in the Johor Strait, and the southern part of Johor Bahru faced Singapore across the strait.
The commander-in-chief of the John Bull Empire's Singapore garrison base, faced with increasing pressure from the Imperial Army, led the remaining troops to retreat to the Bushi Timah defense line, holding on to the last line of resistance, resisting stubbornly, and making a final desperate struggle.
In early July, the Locust Japs Division and the Locust Chao Man Division, which had completed the Victory Conference, turned to the defense line and launched a fierce attack. The enemy's resistance in the last position seemed very strong. After an extremely fierce battle, the defense line was almost in ruins.
state.
The 5,000 Locust Japs Army and the 5,000 Locust Chao Man Army, who were responsible for the main offensive mission, compressed the remaining enemy into the narrow fortifications in the northwest corner. At this point, the final line of defense of the John Bull Empire was finally broken through, and most of the defenders were wiped out.
On the last day when the defense line was broken, the commander-in-chief of the John Bull Empire, who was also the supreme commander of the entire John Bull Empire in Southeast Asia, sent a final farewell message to the Aozhou base camp, and then committed suicide with a bullet from his sidearm.
This time, the empire's strong electronic interference ship did not destroy the opponent's final telex, and the opponent's farewell message was able to arrive in Aozhou intact. (To be continued...)
