Meanwhile, the British Army Command in Kuala Lumpur.

A major general staff officer is introducing the frontline war to British commander Lieutenant General Pasival.

"God General, according to the latest battle report on the front line, the vanguard of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army has been advanced to the outskirts of Tanahmera."

"In addition to Tanah Melaxia, the Japanese army was hit by the 27th Infantry Brigade of Australia."

"After a fierce battle, the Japanese army threw down dozens of corpses on the battlefield and fled in panic."

"In other words, our army has won the first battle with the Japanese army, killing and wounding nearly 200 Japanese soldiers."

"Skewed Good." Pasir nodded happily, "Immediately Improving the 27th Infantry Brigade of Australia, and then telegraph the divisions and brigades on the front line of Tanah Mera and Kota Balu to continue to strengthen their vigilance."

At this moment, a young British major said: "God General, in addition to defending the front, should we strengthen our guards, should we also send some troops to the flanking jungle to guard?"

"Jungle?" Pasival said sneered, "Do you think it's necessary?"

The major said: "It is always no harm to take more precautions, regardless of whether it is necessary or not."

"Why is there no harm? Send troops into the jungle. Will the soldiers of the British Empire be tired? Will they not be bitten by mosquitoes and flies?"

"But what if the Japanese army detoured from the jungle?"

"There is nothing in case, the Japanese don't understand tactics at all."

The major wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Pasir rudely: "Eble, don't think that you will be very great after a few days of military academy. I tell you now that you know nothing about war!"

The major staff officer named Eble immediately shut his mouth obediently.

...

At this time, it is on the front line of Tanahmera.

Argenon, the commander of the 44th Indian Infantry Brigade, was leisurely brewing coffee.

Algernon graduated from the Royal Military Academy of the United Kingdom. He always had a straight military uniform. His two beards on his lips were always smooth and shiny. He could not leave his gentlemanly image anywhere he went.

To be honest, Algeron didn't take much care of the Japanese troops who had already arrived.

Algeron stubbornly believed that the British Empire's army was the strongest combat power in the world, and the German army could barely compete with them. As for the Japanese Army, let's forget it.

Algeron's impression of East Asians remained a century ago, and he still naively thought that the British could force the East Asian empire to cede land and pay compensation if they had just set up a few cannons.

The southeast army was able to defeat the British army, but it didn't exist at all!

With the rumbling cannon, the coffee finally started to boil, and Algeron happily poured himself a cup.

Just as Algernon picked up the coffee cup and was about to enjoy the fruits, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

Then a guard rushed in in a hurry and reported without looking at him: "God of General, something is wrong!"

"Fak, why are you panicking? Why are you panicking?" Algeron frowned, "Isn't it just a few thousand Japanese, why are you panicking?"

"No, General, things are not what you think." The guard said in a panic expression, "The Japanese have traveled through the jungle on the flanks, and there are many people, at least tens of thousands!"

"Oh?" Algeron was stunned. "The Japanese actually traveled through the jungle?"

"Yes, they have come across." The guards panicked, "Now they are attacking Guaraji!"

"What, Guaraji is here?" Algeron's eyes suddenly turned dark, and he stood up and walked quickly to the map.

Looking closely, I saw that Guaraji Lai was behind Tanah Mera. If Guaraji Lai was captured by the Japanese army, then the 40,000 British troops deployed on the front line of Tanah Mera to Kota Balu would be surrounded by the Japanese army!

"Fake!" Algeron jumped up and shouted loudly, "Import the 27th Australian Infantry Brigade that they are closest to Guaraji, so that they can hurry back to help Guaraji!"

"It's too late, my General, it's too late!"

A voice suddenly came in, and a colonel hurried in.

The one who came in was the chief of staff of the 44th Indian Infantry Brigade, Ansel.

"God General!" Ansel said tragically, "Guaraji Lai has just lost!"

"Oh Tfak!?" Algeron said in shock. "Guaraji came so quickly and lost? How long did it take from attack to loss? An hour?"

"To be exact, half an hour." Ansel shook his head and said, "The 7th Canadian Independent Infantry Regiment stationed in Guaraji did not expect the Japanese army to cross the jungle. Unpredictably, they could not organize decent resistance. They only persisted for half an hour before the entire army was destroyed!"

"Oh, let it go!" Algeron said with his head in his hands, "I'm in trouble now."

"Yes, we're in trouble." Ansel said with a wry smile, "We're surrounded!"

After a pause, Ansel said again: "General Baird has requested emergency reinforcements from General Pasivar and ordered us to persist for three to five days no matter what."

"It's OK." Algeron breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as Singapore reinforcements can come, it will be no problem to persist for three to five days, we are completely..."

Before he could finish his speech, there were sudden continuous explosions outside.

"Oh Tfak." Algeron said furiously, "Where did the explosion come from?"

"God of General!" Another guard hurriedly ran in and screamed, "Japanese, Japanese!"

"Oh, Japanese?" Algeron was surprised when he heard this. He immediately rushed out of the headquarters with Ansel, raised his telescope and looked out. Sure enough, he saw shadows appearing in the jungle outside the headquarters. These figures were big, and I was wearing military uniforms that were completely different from the British army. It was obviously Japanese.

"Fake!" Algeron exclaimed, "The Japanese are coming so quickly?"

While speaking, the Japanese army emerged from the jungle and had already exchanged fierce fire with the British army.

Just a moment of firefighting, the British army was beaten to cry and called for their parents, and they retreated continuously!

"Hold on!" Ansel roared angrily, waving his pistol, "Don't retreat, call back!"

Under the coercion of Ansel, the officers and soldiers of the 44th Indian Infantry Brigade launched a counterattack, but unfortunately, the Japanese army easily dismantled the British counterattack after only one infantry squad. Then a charge, the 44th Indian Infantry Brigade was defeated and collapsed.

Algeron was also wrapped in a panic and fled forward in a hurry.

But not far away, Algeron found out helplessly that the direction they escaped was Tanahmera, which was even further away from Singapore.
Chapter completed!
