When the British army collided head-on with the vanguard of the main corps, facing the National People's Liberation Army that was resisting and retreating continuously, Fubutt felt a little panic. He ordered the troops to step up the attack and advance, and must arrive and occupy the key location of the retreat westward before dark.

At 5:30 pm, the British army that arrived outside Bhutto town was suddenly violently blocked by a regiment of the National People's Liberation Army that pre-occupied the place and built simple fortifications. The sudden increase in pressure made the British soldiers very frustrated and shocked. The situation of being attacked from both sides gave the British soldiers a feeling of a doomsday coming. Although the officers were still trying their best to encourage them, there were blockades in front, pursuers behind, and perhaps a continuous stream of National People's Liberation Army coming one after another.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the main force of the National People's Liberation Army, who caught up with the speed of a rapid march, launched a fierce counterattack against the British army in front of him despite his fatigue. The 131st Regiment, which followed the British army, also accelerated from behind, forming a three-sided siege against the British army.

After fierce battles until around 8 o'clock in the evening, the British army could not resist the powerful offensive of the National People's Liberation Army. The troops left a large number of supplies and equipment and retreated northwards. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the British army was besieged in a small hill fifteen kilometers away from the Kelantan River, and the defeat was a foregone conclusion.

"Surrender can return to the country to reunite with your family. Stubborn resistance will surely turn into a rotten soil for death. Where will it go? Destiny is in your own hands. At ten o'clock, our army will launch a thunder offensive, and no one will be able to leave alive." The last spy passed to the British army by a captured British soldier was arrogant and cold, which made officers such as Fulbutt look at him and be overshadowed.

"We, we have failed." An officer sighed. "The soldiers were anxious, their supplies and equipment were lost, and there was no way to continue to fight."

Fubutt was covered in mud and water. He lowered his head and thought for a while. He said with a wry smile: "I don't have the ability to take you to win battles, so I'll bring you back to the country safely. Meaningless resistance will only cause more British soldiers to bury their bones in a foreign land."

After Fubutt said this, he heard many people breathe a sigh of relief. He lamented, in terms of morale, this battle is really impossible to fight.

"Order the soldiers to stop fighting and we surrender." Fubutt waved his hand in pain.

"Pu!" The coffee cup in British commander Ball fell to the ground and broke.

Chief of Staff Widow's face was also very ugly, holding a telegram in his hand. He looked helplessly at the poor commander, who sent reinforcements under pressure from the upper class, but unexpectedly suffered greater losses. Even Dahan Mountain was not safe. As soon as Dahan Mountain was lost, the road from north to south was opened. The National Liberation Army occupied this place, which can be attacked and retreated or defended near the Central Mountains and the East Coast Mountains, and was in an invincible place.

"If you want to fight, fight, and if you want to be harmonious, you have to come up with many tricks to drag our army to such a situation." Ball suddenly roared. "The Malay policy formulated by the bastards in London is a huge scam and a huge mistake. How much blood will it take to make them understand."

"Your Excellency, now is not the time to get angry." Widow persuaded with a wry smile: "Kelantan is already decayed, and no more troops should be sent to rescue. We do not have the ability to send powerful corps. Instead of constantly jumping into the abyss, it is better to snatch the Kelantan army out as much as possible. While Kotabaru is still under the control of our army, transport all the personnel out of here!"

"Go to Dunkirk's retreat again?" Ball looked at Widdow in confusion. "Dahan Mountain is the place where I worry the most. You know that if Dahan Mountain is conquered, the consequences will be very serious. By the way, you just called and how did the ceasefire negotiations with the National Liberation Army go on?"

Widow shook her head gently, "The National Liberation Army believes that we frequently carry out military mobilizations and do not show the sincerity we deserve. They agreed to the negotiations, but neither agreed nor refused to the ceasefire. It seems that a ceasefire is impossible before the end of their offensive."

"The rainy season is almost over, but we can't afford to lose any more." Ball calculated the time and shook his head, "Just do what you said, don't wait for the National Liberation Army to destroy all our troops in Kelantan."

After the National People's Liberation Army successfully forced the British reinforcements led by Fubutt, in addition to leaving a regiment to monitor Dahan Mountain, Wu Ming personally led the main force to advance west along the river. On September 10, Lan Zhang defended the enemy, frightened by the powerful force of the National People's Liberation Army and the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, and abandoned the city and fled south. At this point, the two key points in the Dahan Mountain Fortress, Cameron and Lan Zhang were both occupied by the National People's Liberation Army and completely became an isolated fortress.

On September 13, the main corps went south to capture the important town of Guarajilai in Kelantan Prefecture, and advanced east along the river. With the advancing corps, Liu Cheng's detachment took the coastal city of Kota Balu.

On September 16, the National People's Liberation Army soldiers liberated Kota Balu without any slash. One day before this, the British defeated troops gathered in Kota Balu and fled to southern Malaya on urgently transferred ships.

On September 20, more than 6,000 troops of the National People's Liberation Army began to oppress the Dahan Mountain Fortress Group from three sides, and dug trenches to advance step by step, approaching the Dahan Mountain Military Airport.

On September 23, the Governor of the Malayan Colonial Government finally came to the National People's Liberation Army's reply to its ceasefire negotiation proposal. The message was extremely simple: "Agree with your suggestion, and ceasefire on the spot from now on and resume negotiations."

Nature cannot be a clear sky forever, nor can it always be a storm. Will the sky be particularly clear when the storm is sweeping and storm cleansing and washing the earth?

The rainy season this year lasted until October 13. As the sky cleared and the smoke faded, the local negotiating delegation of the National People's Liberation Army boarded the US cruise ship Washington from Cota Baru and headed to Paris, France to hold talks with the British government on the Malaya issue.

The fall of Kelantan was not a battle in the United Kingdom, but the shattering of the dream of the "Eastern Empire" by British colonists for hundreds of years. It lost Kelantan and Malaya!

More than 3,000 people were killed, more than 6,000 were captured, and countless weapons and supplies were lost. This tragic figure made the British thoroughly understand the strength and confidence of the National People's Liberation Army, and also made them understand that this war was no longer popular, and the army they rely on had lost the fighting spirit of tenacious fighting.

After the rainy season battle, the National People's Liberation Army controlled the areas on the border between Malaysia and Thailand as they wished. Under the contact and call of overseas Chinese leaders such as Tan Kah Kee, Thai Chinese businessmen who had prepared had been transported in continuously. With rice, medicine and other materials entering Malaya, there were a steady stream of young Chinese people from South China. They came from all over the Southeast with admiration and admiration for the National People's Liberation Army, and with a sense of pride and mission to devote themselves to this great cause. In addition, the climax of joining the army started by the Chinese people in Kelantan, the National People's Liberation Army's soldiers were not only replenished in time, but also expanded.

The victory is not far away. In order to cope with the new situation, the Chinese Independent Democratic Party held an enlarged high-level meeting in the town of Sima in Kelantan on October 15 to discuss the formulation of future policies.

"Under the new situation, on the one hand, we must reorganize the army and prepare for war, and on the other hand, we must re-analyze the policies that the British may adopt and the specific movements of the Malays to facilitate the development of the next step of work." At the meeting, Xiao Minghua first spoke, "The officers and soldiers of the army, as well as personnel from the headquarters in charge of politics, propaganda and other departments. At the meeting, everyone spoke freely and tried to consider all aspects in detail and thoughtfulness. Before the meeting, we must first thank the heroic army for setting up such a favorable situation for us, and thank and commemorate the soldiers who have thrown their blood for the cause of freedom. I suggest that we stand up and observe silent for three minutes."

After the silence, the meeting came to the main point. As respect for Wu Ming's bravery and fighting skills and admiration for his long-term vision, Xiao Minghua and others enthusiastically asked him to speak first.

"Haha." Wu Ming laughed twice and said, "Since you are so enthusiastic, I will tell the truth. Some words are a bit cruel and excessive. But I ask everyone to think carefully. Now is not the time to care about personal reputation, but you should think about the future of all Chinese in Malaya or Southeast Asia. After the end of this war that made great sacrifices, on this land with the blood of martyrs, I hope to see the existence of a strong Chinese government. The Chinese will exist as the main ethnic group of Malaya, rather than a compromise and imperfect victory full of regrets. Of course, I am just reminding everyone that whether this is right or wrong, you should consider it yourself. Anyway, after the war is over, my stay or not is still between."

"Brother Liu, did we do something wrong?" Zhao Xiaomei asked uneasily: "Why did you mention the issue of leaving? Look at everyone here, most of them should be considered your disciples. If you have anything to say, are there anything you can't say to us?"

"Yes!" Xiao Minghua said: "If you hadn't first proposed the idea of ​​Chinese independence and building a country, if you weren't afraid of danger and came to lead everyone to fight in person, we wouldn't be today? You said this a bit hurtful. We are not the kind of bastards who are ungrateful and demoted bridges across the river."
