In late October, the hidden wind bo in China was not noticeable, and the actions of the Japanese were the most eye-catching. After a brief rest, the Japanese army was familiar with the hydrology of the strait and chose to launch an attack on October 23.

The 26th is just the seventh day of the yin calendar and February 8, 42 years before the previous life. It is also not the tide season. However, the water level after the daily low tide is still less than 4 feet. At night, when the water level is the lowest, even shorter Japanese can flow over. In addition to water flow, the abundant wood in Southeast Asia provides convenience for Japanese people who intend to cross.

The Johor Strait is less than 2,000 meters wide, and is even only 1.4 kilometers in the western section.

Although the British, who have always valued the ocean, have been operating Singapore for hundreds of years, they faced mainly naval fleets of other empires and pirates. The muzzles of various fortress guns pointed to the sea, including the world's largest 15-inch fortress guns.

But when the Japanese took advantage of the loopholes and rushed from Malaya to Singapore while walking, the British who did not believe that the Japanese could cross the thousands of miles of Malaya jungle in one and a half months were panicked and had no choice but to break the 70-foot-wide embankment connecting the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, and hurriedly built a land defense line.

At this time, the troops who were dragging their exhausted bodies to the foot of the Johor Strait were less than 50,000, and the other troops were still wandering in the jungle and other Malayan cities. The number of coalition forces formed by Britain, Australia and Johor Sultans across the country had exceeded 140,000.

However, Yamashita Tomoto didn't take long to rest and just took a short rest, he began to attack with the troops of less than 50,000 people. The Japanese had discovered the details of the British through some other channels.

This pieced together coalition not only has the chaos in command, but also does not have the advantage in weapons.

Singapore's tanks and aircraft were all transferred to the British Isles and North Africa and even a large number of heavy artillery that could be flexibly mobilized participated in the North African war. The remaining few artillery lost the support of the fortress and could not stop the attacks of the Japanese army from the other strait. Even the fortifications built by the British were frequently bombed by Japanese fighter jets.

The dozen or so antique fighter jets collected by the British from Malaya and other regions could only add more achievements to zero battles and a few more air coffins. Air supremacy was completely occupied by the Japanese army, and the available artillery was dominant. Even the British fleet was entangled by the Japanese army and beaten away in the South China Sea, and there was no time to provide much cover.

The most important thing is that the British troops retreated from Malaya to Singapore have lost their morale, and such confrontation has been unbalanced from the beginning.

On the evening of the 26th, the Japanese army took advantage of the lowest tide level in the Johor Strait to force the strait.

The Japanese army mobilized more than 200 large and small artillery pieces with them to bombard them. Japanese bombers bombed overnight to cover them, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops rushed to the other side. In addition to more than 100 rubber boats and a large number of machine guns and grenade launchers on rafts, many Japanese soldiers even fired fire to fight back at the British defenders on the other side while rushing across the strait. The Japanese who were used to night battles met the British and Australian coalition forces, which were busy in this regard, and they collapsed as soon as they rushed.

At dawn, more than 20,000 Japanese troops had already rushed through the Johor Strait and into the downtown area of ​​Singapore. The battle continued in the city. But there was no smoke from gunpowder in the only place.

Xishan, in the northwest direction of Singapore, is the highest point on the Singapore island. There are some British warehouses and a reservoir with strong fortress defense. It is the focus of the British army's defense, but now the foot of this mountain is home to more than 300 households, and the figures of Chinese are already full of Chinese people. There are also some white faces mixed in.

The British, who knew that the defeat had been decided, agreed to the proposal from the Umbrella Company to define this defense area as a refugee area. The Chinese organization first placed the children and the young here.

On the territory of Singapore, Chinese accounted for the vast majority. However, in the previous life, the majority of the defenders and residents in Singapore were more than 100,000 deaths.

In another time and space, the Xishan Massacre occurred here, but this time, there were protective umbrellas, copycat companies, and some representatives stranded in Singapore from Germany, Italy, and China. The reminder and emphasis of China faced China that the massacre against these Chinese did not take place again. Even in other parts of Singapore, the Japanese army also restrained.

"Before completing one of the two set goals, you must never drag the vanguard into Southeast Asia!" Instructions from the Japanese base camp have been announced to the grassroots level. The Japanese also know not to give China an excuse to be made by China as a wedding dress.

Moreover, the Chinese are also considered to cooperate with the Japanese to receive them, and they still give them as much as they should give to the British.

With the easing of interests, many Japanese people who were low-key did not pour out the mania of war on all Chinese. Those natives who had no background backing and those white people who were once in high positions endured most of the violent aura of Japanese soldiers.

However, the Chinese organizations in Nanyang have always been divided. The tradition of Chinese infighting has never subsided in various environments.

Those who tend to be with the Qing Dynasty, the Central Party, the independent, the foreigner, and even the Banana people who have long abandoned their Chinese identity. In the complex situation, not everyone will obey the alliance from the Pioneer Army. Some Chinese families did not obey the warnings of the neutrality of the Pioneer Army at all, and even directly helped the British, wanting to take the opportunity to climb higher.

"The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity! The British Empire will not be defeated. Even if it is defeated, this is only temporary. Even if we bet on the property of the entire family today, as long as the British help, our wealth and power will jump to the top of the Nanyang clan in a few years." Li Guangyao warned his son meaningfully. His Li family is not the Li family among the large Chinese families in South China.

But he hopes that his family can be comparable to the Li family, which has experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs, and even surpass it. Now, it may be an opportunity. No one in Nanyang knows that foreigners are powerful.

"But the mainland requires neutrality to keep its wealth. Xin's son has become the pillar of the family and has also interacted with some organizations in the Nanyang Ocean. He has some inclined to warns from the Pioneer Army.

"The lean camels in the British Empire are bigger than horses, and even Americans join, so the Japanese cannot grow up. In the future, they will definitely be the British world. You have to invest early to take the lead." Li Guangyao's patriarch's power determined the fate of this family.

A large number of family members joined the resistance, but the Japanese army found the smell and raided the family's fortunes. Most of the young and strong members of the family were also massacred in the war. If the Chinese families had not had the instinct to leave a backup plan, I am afraid that the families who settled on the Sishan Mountain would not have escaped.

The Chinese representatives blocked the search from Japan, but could not save their family's fortunes from being collected.

The Chinese have already been guilty of the treasure of their wealth, but they do not have much protection. In history, I don’t know how many times the wool has been harvested. This time, the armed forces organized by the Chinese on Xishan with the support of a counterfeit company also made the Japanese afraid. In addition, the vanguard army behind them, as long as they occupy the right, they will not be afraid of the Japanese turning against each other. But if there is a situation like this, they will be powerless. Being able to save the lives of some people is already the biggest compromise for the Japanese.

As for property, where can I spit it out after entering the wolf's mouth? Even the vanguard army is beyond the reach.

...

"It's so short-sighted! Not relying on Japanese people is better than those Chinese, but they don't look at what time, but they just stick to Westerners' butts. The non-aggression that has finally won in China can save lives and property, and they will cause trouble by themselves!" Chen Jiageng was so angry that he slapped the table.

"Everyone is optimistic about the British, and such opportunities are rare. Not only are some small families moving closer to the British, but also some big families, for future interests, they also work to condolence the Japanese and divide up a group to support the British. Everyone knows that the Lion City can no longer be saved, but everyone's eyes are on the future when the British come back." His son-in-law Li Guangqian comforted him.

In order to survive in troubled times, it is common for Chinese families to be fence-branded.

Even when the future of the country is uncertain, in order to continue, a family defects to two factions, and the brothers are the masters of each.

Large families cannot tolerate mistakes. Only by placing separate bets can they have a glimmer of hope.

"Look at the future?" Chen Jiageng pondered for a moment, turned his head and stared at Li Guangqian and said, "Do you think the British still have a chance to rule here again in the future?"

Li Guangqian's heart was thrilled. He knew that his father-in-law had close contacts with the domestic vanguard army and knew some things. At this time, this sentence was definitely not said for no reason. After pondering for a moment, he said cautiously: "The British are hard to get any more power, but there are still Americans."

He did not mention the Japanese at all. As for China, his long-term habitual thinking also made him feel a little worse.

"You! You still underestimate the country." Chen Jiageng sighed. "If I had not seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own eyes, I would have never imagined that the domestic military strength had far exceeded your and my imagination, nor would I have never imagined that the country had already planned for the South China Sea half a year ago, and even considered the invasion of the Japanese. This Nanyang is about to change the world!"!
