Before the army set off, Gao Jiu invited the head of the Malaysian Underground Party and said to him: "Your guerrillas have been fighting in Malaysia for a long time, and their heroic deeds are admirable.

The reason why you can persist is mainly guerrilla tactics, attacking the Japanese and puppet troops in vast mountainous areas, dense forests, rural areas, and areas with relatively weak Japanese and puppet rule, and continuously developing and growing.

Your combat experience is similar to our Taohuashan guerrillas.”

The head of the Malaysian Underground Party, he heard that Gao Jiu is coming to Malaysia this time. He has done a lot of homework and collected a lot of information about Gao Jiu.

He deeply admired Gao Jiu and others for their rapid growth and growth from a small guerrilla team into a powerful force.

The head of the Malaysian Underground Party said sincerely: "Mr. Gao, although we have achieved some small achievements over the years, the gap compared to you is too big."

Gao Jiu said: "We won't say these polite words. Now that is in front of you, there is a good opportunity to grow rapidly.

The coalition forces are about to launch a large-scale attack on Kuala Lumpur and will fight with the main Japanese forces in the Kuala Lumpur area. The main forces of the Japanese and puppet troops have been transferred to the Kuala Lumpur area, and the vast rural areas have basically become vacuum areas for the Japanese and puppet forces.

I suggest you seize this opportunity, completely destroy the grassroots organizations of the Japanese and puppets, and expand and develop your base.

You can feel at ease and boldly concentrate some of the main forces and bravely attack the areas occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese army does not have the ability to draw large troops to attack you. You must seize this opportunity firmly."

The head of the Malaysian Underground Party was excited when he heard this and said, "Mr. Gao, I understand, but our equipment is too backward. I hope Mr. Gao can provide assistance."

Gao Jiu said, "Don't worry about this. Before you leave, I will give you a batch of weapons and ammunition, and then send a radio team to go back with you. I will send a transport plane to airdrop weapons, ammunition and supplies to you."

The head of the Malaysian Underground Party said gratefully: "Mr. Gao is so generous. On behalf of the vast number of Malaysian anti-Japanese guerrillas, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

Gao Jiu called Jia Liu and asked him to accompany the head of the Malaysian underground party to collect weapons and ammunition.

The first batch of supplies that Gao Jiu handed over to the Malaysian underground party guerrillas, including 50 Type 92 infantry artillery and 2,000 rounds of shells. These Type 92 infantry artillery were eliminated by the Taohuashan guerrillas and were piled up in the warehouse. This time when he came to Malaysia, considering the needs of the guerrillas here, he specially brought them over to them.

Other weapons include mortars, 82mm recoilless cannons, bazooka launchers, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, etc.

This time, there were not many people from the Malaysian underground party. Gao Jiu first asked them to take a small part of them, promising to contact them through the radio after they returned and airdrop them.

The head of the Malaysian Underground Party was very excited to get these weapons, but he was very envious of the armored combat vehicles, large-caliber artillery, and especially those anti-aircraft guns equipped by the coalition forces.

He said to Jia Liu: "Can those weapons provide us with some?"

Jia Liu said lightly: "You probably don't need these, especially anti-aircraft guns. The Japanese army will not use bombers to deal with you."

The head of the Malaysian Underground Party understood it, and he also knew that the Japanese looked down on their guerrillas and were reluctant to send bombers to bomb them.

He smiled awkwardly, and finally said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Jia Liu."

Next, Gao Jiu called Li Chengwu and the commander of the Marine Corps and said to them: "Your main task is not to fight against the Japanese army, but to send a large number of intelligence teams in the coastal areas to monitor the operations of the Japanese Sea and the Air Force.

Your Marines have been active in this area for a while, and the enemy situation and terrain are relatively familiar. I suggest that Taohuashan guerrillas and British troops be mixed together and keep in touch with the command center at any time."

After Li Chengwu accepted the task, he went to discuss specific cooperation matters with the British Marine Corps commander.

Gao Jiu called the British commander again and said to him: "You lead the British army as the vanguard and march towards Kuala Lumpur with great fanfare. Don't advance too fast.

When he arrived at Beiro Ridge, he stopped moving forward, built fortifications, and used large-caliber artillery to shell the Japanese army.

If Japanese troops attack, resolutely repel them. After repelling the Japanese attack, do not pursue the Japanese army."

The British commander accepted the order and led the British and Burmese troops to set off.

George couldn't help but worry when he saw Gao Jiu let the British army take the lead.

He said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, what should we do if the British and Burmese troops are bombed by Japanese aircraft on the way to march or after reaching the front line?"

Gao Jiu said, "Don't be impatient. Let's talk about it after I finish the arrangement."

Gao Jiu called Wang Zhankui and Liao Tong, explained to them, and they also took the order and set off.

George suddenly realized at this time, and he said in admiration: "Mr. Gao, you have considered it so thoughtful, now I feel relieved."

The coalition forces set out one after another, Gao Jiu and others left Balin Town and followed the brigade of troops forward.

Yamashita Tomoto received a report saying that Malaysian guerrillas were becoming more and more frequent. They launched a fierce offensive in the vast rural areas. A large number of Japanese grassroots organizations were destroyed. They kept asking Yamashita Tomoto for help.

As Gao Jiu judged, Yamashita Tomoto devoted his main energy to dealing with Gao Jiu's coalition forces at this moment, and he had no ability to mobilize troops to deal with the guerrillas. He could only order Japanese and puppet troops from all over the country to gather in large towns and protect himself.

When the guerrillas in Malaysia saw the Japanese and puppet troops from all over the country fleeing, they took the courage to launch an attack.

The vast majority of rural people have been heavily oppressed by the Japanese and puppet troops for a long time. Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops fleeing, they all rose up and joined the guerrillas.

In just one week, the Malaysian guerrillas expanded to more than 15,000.

Gao Jiu kept his word and sent a transport plane to send a large number of weapons and ammunition to the Malaysian guerrillas.

The Malaysian guerrillas became even stronger. They conquered cities and land all day long and quickly occupied the vast rural areas of Malaysia.

At the beginning of Yamashita Tomoto was worried about the activities of the Malaysian guerrillas.

When he learned that Gao Jiu was leading a large coalition force to march towards Kuala Lumpur, he was too lazy to pay attention to these matters, and even asked not to report these unrelated matters to him.

The Japanese army, navy and air force have always lacked cooperation with each other. Yamashita Takamoto knew that although his Japanese army was strong in combat, it was still very difficult to fight against Gao Jiu's coalition forces.

He knew that it would not work if he wanted to defend Kuala Lumpur without the support of the Japanese Navy.

So he lowered his posture, personally prepared generous gifts, went to the Japanese Navy's military port, and negotiated with the Japanese fleet commander, asking them to assist his 25th Army in defending Kuala Lumpur.

Yamashita Tomoto suffered a defeat in Thailand and lost his position as commander of the South Asian Front, which was within his reach, which made him very angry and worried because his talents had been questioned by his superiors.

If the battle on the Malay Peninsula fails again and loses Malaysia and Singapore, he, as the commander of the 25th Army, is probably not going to be the commander of the 25th Army.

Yamashita Tomoto must win this time, so he spent a lot of money this time, not only sent a whole box of gold to the Japanese Navy, but also smiled at the commander of the Japanese Navy.

You know, he is the commander of the lieutenant general, and the commander of the Japanese Navy fleet is just a major general.

Among the Japanese army with strict hierarchy, Yamashita Fengwen's attitude was already very low.

Despite this, the Japanese Navy did not buy Yamashita Tomomiya. It was only because of the box of gold that he agreed to help Yamashita Tomomiya attack the coalition forces.

That morning, the 18th Japanese Division set up northwest of Kuala Lumpur discovered a 10 kilometers ahead, and a large group of coalition troops appeared.

The brigade of armored vehicles opened the road in front and gradually approached the Japanese defense line.

The British troops were the vanguard of the coalition forces. They stopped 8 kilometers away from the frontier positions of the Japanese army and began to set up artillery. Soon after, they launched artillery bombardment on the Japanese positions.

The 18th Japanese Division was also equipped with a certain number of 105mm howitzers and launched a counterattack against the coalition forces.

The commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese army sent a reconnaissance team. They quietly approached the frontier positions of the British army and saw a large number of neatly arranged armored vehicles and a large number of artillery on the British positions.

The scouts reported like the commander of the 18th Division.

The commander of the 18th Division specifically asked them to reconnaissance whether there were anti-aircraft guns on the British positions?

The Japanese scouts did not dare to get close to the enemy's position too close. Through the artillery mirror, they saw some anti-aircraft machine guns on the coalition's positions, but did not see large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, so they reported this situation to the commander of the 18th Division again.

At this moment, more than a dozen armored vehicles drove out of the British position. These armored vehicles lined up, and at least one battalion of British troops stood among the armored vehicles, or followed behind and searched forward.

The Japanese scouts had nowhere to hide and had to retreat to the Japanese positions.

Just after the Japanese retreated, a large number of trucks drove out from behind the British troops, dragging a large number of anti-aircraft guns, and hid on the vanguards and left and right sides of the British positions.

In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the truck unloaded the anti-aircraft guns and quickly retreated to the British position.

The anti-aircraft artillery lowered the muzzles to an almost horizontal position, pushed them into the bushes, and cut down some branches to disguise the high-speed cannon.

At the same time, a large number of anti-aircraft guns appeared on both wings and behind the British positions, and they were also hidden.

Yamashita Tomoto received a telegram from the commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army and notified the Japanese Navy fleet.

The Japanese Navy sent a reconnaissance plane to reconnaissance first.

When the British troops saw the Japanese reconnaissance plane flying over, the anti-aircraft machine guns in the position opened fire at the Japanese reconnaissance plane.

The reconnaissance planes already knew that the British troops had anti-aircraft machine guns, so they flew very high and did not pass over the British positions. They just hovered at high altitudes around and avoided the British anti-aircraft machine gun bullets.

Although the Japanese pilots did not fly over the British positions, they still saw the situation inside the British positions very clearly, because the British army's large number of armored vehicles and other vehicles were arranged neatly, and the artillery positions were also very eye-catching and unobstructed.

After seeing clearly, the Japanese reconnaissance plane hovered in the air for a while, and then began to return.

Two Japanese aircraft carriers staying in the Strait of Malacca received reports from reconnaissance aircraft, and the carrier-based aircraft took off one after another.

The Taohua Mountain guerrillas and British reconnaissance teams saw the Japanese bomber take off, and reported to Wang Zhankui.

Wang Zhankui ordered those anti-aircraft guns to be prepared to attack Japanese bombers.

Shortly after the Japanese reconnaissance plane left, the officers and soldiers on the British positions fled the position and hid in the jungle outside the position.

Some British troops stayed in the position. They were anti-aircraft machine gunners, and there was also an anti-aircraft machine gunner on each infantry fighting vehicle. They loaded bullets and quietly waited for the Japanese bombers to fly in.

The Japanese bombers roared over the Japanese position and continued to fly towards the British position.

The Japanese officers and soldiers were very excited and waved to the bombers in the sky. Some cheered loudly, while others saluted to the bombers in the sky.

The commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was also very excited. He ordered his troops to prepare for attack. Once the Japanese bombers caused heavy damage to the enemy, he would command the troops to attack the enemy.

Japanese bombers roared over and saw a large number of vehicles and artillery on the British positions, and began to lower the nose and dive a few kilometers away.

At this moment, in front of the British position, a large number of German 88mm anti-aircraft guns were suddenly shot out, and they opened fire violently at the Japanese bomber.

More than a hundred anti-aircraft guns kept firing, and shells kept exploding in the air, and balls of white smoke emerged.

The Japanese bombers were shrouded in the white smoke and kept blasting and firing, and some simply exploded in the air.

The sudden attack caught the Japanese bomber off guard. They did not care about bombing the British positions and hurriedly pulled upwards, hoping to escape as soon as possible.

British anti-aircraft machine gunners also took the opportunity to open fire into the sky, and several more bombers were shot down.

A total of 34 Japanese bombers were dispatched. In the previous round of attacks, 23 were knocked out, and the remaining 11 were slightly injured.

The Japanese pilots knew that they were ambushed. Seeing that the enemy's firepower was so fierce, they did not dare to bomb again, so they circled around and prepared to return to the aircraft carrier from one side of the British position.
