    @@@@@@@@

    The entire South China Sea is boiling. Hundreds of ships are cutting through the waves and rushing on the route day and night. Millions of tons of supplies are moving slowly on the sea at a speed of twelve or three knots per hour, from one port to another.  The huge amount of military material dispatch has prompted the birth of new disciplines such as overall planning. The huge logistics service department has tried its best to reduce troubles by using colors, large characters, symbols and other methods that can be clearly distinguished by the naked eye.  For problems that cannot be solved by manpower, computers must be used to cope with such huge military logistics needs.  Therefore, the General Logistics Department is the third military department in the country to introduce computers to assist. The logistics dispatch center in Shanghai has hundreds of relay computers and even a top-secret transistor computer developed in the 3010 plan to assist in the work.

    No matter how wonderful the previous battlefields in Central Asia, Northeast Asia and Europe were described, the countries and ordinary people living in the South China Sea cannot imagine what it is like to have hundreds of ships, Siam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore  all watched with nervous eyes. Even Hirohito, who was far away in Tokyo and had been disturbed by the severe winter and famine, sent an edict to the troops marching south.

    "The survival of the empire depends on this battle! I and all the people hope that the warriors of the empire will carry forward the spirit of their predecessors and continue the glory of the empire! I and all the people are eagerly looking forward to the news of your victory!"

    In the Japanese Peninsula Command located in the Singapore Parliament Building, Masanobu Tsuji loudly recited the emperor's edict.  In the past, Hirohito always liked to use tapes and recorders to send to the front line so that soldiers could hear his voice in person, but now he can only use radios and have the officers dictate.  Even so, the Japanese soldiers who listened to the oracle still had tears in their eyes, knelt down and shouted wildly, vowing to fight bravely for the empire.

    Yamashita Fengfumi was very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers, but the Singapore defense facilities outside the window were in poor condition.  The British army completely destroyed the fortress before surrender, leaving the Japanese army with only an empty shell.  Although after two years of day and night construction, the functions of Bukit Timah Hill Fortress and some forts have been restored.  But it is much worse than during the British occupation.  Judging from previous battles, the Chinese army has a lot of armor and firepower, has many heavy artillery, and is very good at coordinating sea and air three-dimensional operations. It is exactly the way of the German army, and even goes beyond it.  What's more, after losing the navy, the current Chinese National Defense Force and the Japanese army are not opponents of the same level at all.  The weapons and equipment are elephants and beetles, so I am afraid that the only thing that can be used in this battle is the mud in the rainy season and the fighting willpower of the soldiers.

    There is no doubt about the combat ability of the imperial soldiers, but the terrain Yamashita Fengfumi looked at the map and still had a headache.  From Songkhla to Singapore, the coastline is more than 800 kilometers long.  There are dozens of landing places, and in his hands, even if he has withdrawn the 18th Myanmar Division, there are only four divisions, three naval garrison brigades, and one Indonesian puppet military division, and only ships are left.  Two British destroyers, 17 or 18 torpedo boats and gunboats were captured, and less than 50 aircraft were left.  There are only 180,000 troops at full strength, which cannot take care of such a vast area.  Moreover, the Chinese army is still gathering in Andaman, which requires him to prepare for the worst case of being attacked from both sides.  "It's difficult!" Yamashita Fengwen sighed inwardly.

    "Admiral, it's a telegram from the Navy. Vice Admiral Inoue said that he will cooperate with us to attack the China landing fleet." Masanobu Tsuji came over with a telegram from the Philippines.  Yamashita Fengwen took it and read it, then put it aside.  He knew that Inoue Narumi was just showing off. The Third Fleet's pitiful possessions would probably be sunk by swarming bombers if they got out of the Philippine Islands.  at this time.  He didn't want to blame the navy, so he turned around and asked, "Tsuji Masaru, how do you think we should defend?"

    Tsuji Masanobu was not so hesitant, and pointed at the map with a sharp look: "No matter how the Chinese army is mobilized, Singapore will definitely be their final target. I suggest that the troops be reduced, and the 4th Division defends Johor, and the 5th Division defends Kuala Lumpur and Malacca  , the 1st Division and the 18th Division have all withdrawn to the Johor Strait. Deploy torpedo boats on both sides of the Johor Strait and the Singapore Strait. We can also capture the Chinese here and use them as shields. In the words of the Chinese, it is to let  They can't take advantage of their firepower"

    Yamashita Fengwen¡¯s eyes lit up, this is a solution.  Now that the war has begun, the two countries have become life-or-death enemies, and there is nothing to worry about.

    Singapore¡¯s pre-war population was 1.17 million, of which about 900,000 were Chinese.  After the Japanese army moved south to occupy Singapore, Yang Qiu put pressure on the Japanese government, seizing the weakness of the Japanese army's reluctance to immediately go to war with China, and forcing the Japanese government to agree to allow China to evacuate its overseas Chinese.  During this period, about half of the Chinese were evacuated from Borneo and Natuna. The rest were not able to evacuate but were unwilling to leave. Therefore, there are still about 500,000 Chinese living here.

    With hundreds of thousands of human shields in front of him, he believed that Yang Qiudu must consider the consequences.

    But one thing has always been deeply rooted in his heart, and that is the Riau province of Sumatra opposite Singapore.  Before the war between China and Japan, China urgently sent oil here on the grounds of ensuring the safety of Minas oil.Two army divisions were deployed. Because they did not want to fall out with China, the Japanese turned a blind eye to the matter. Unexpectedly, Yang Qiu intensified his efforts and increased the garrison to four divisions. There were also a large number of peninsula resistance guerrillas.  , the total strength there now exceeds 150,000.  After the war began, the Japanese army had been worried that they would cross the strait and launch a surprise attack on the peninsula. Therefore, they used dozens of warships to attack oil fields and defense facilities. They also deployed a large number of troops in Singapore, Lingga Islands, Kuala Lumpur and other places, and brought them from home.  Fortress artillery repaired several British forts, and finally removed the artillery from the British warships that sank in the harbor and deployed them on the fort.  If they had relied on them alone, Yamashita would be confident of defeating all cross-country operations, but now that he has to face the Chinese army attacking from the peninsula, the coastal defenses will definitely be weakened. What should he do?

    Seeing that he was silent, Tsuji Masanobu immediately ordered the troops to capture people to serve as shields.  His cleverness was like opening Pandora's box. Countless Japanese soldiers, stimulated by Hirohito's edict, rushed out of the military camp, tearing off their usual hypocritical masks, and scattered like a pack of mad dogs into the streets.

    "Let me go! Let me go! Beasts, beasts! Little Japan, I will fight with you!" In front of Hu's shop in Dabajiao, a dozen vicious Japanese soldiers rushed into the shop and killed the proprietress and the seven-year-old  The daughter was pinned to the ground, and the boss, who was usually cheerful when meeting people, was pinned to the ground by three soldiers. His teeth were broken and his eyes were bleeding.

    "Japan! I'll fuck your grandma!" A young man in the shop rushed out with a kitchen knife, but the kitchen knife was not worth the sharp bayonet. Before he could get close, the two bayonets pierced his chest.  After the Japanese soldiers had vented their animalistic desires, they set the shop on fire.  Then he threw the unconscious boss lady and the young child into the fire  The whole street!  All of Singapore!  It was all a scene of killing, with women everywhere screaming in pain and despair, and men howling to death after being beaten.  Tens of thousands of Chinese were chased by Japanese soldiers.  A British truck stopped, and more Japanese soldiers rushed out, holding ropes and wires to tie the Chinese who had fallen to the ground into strings, and then held them in the back of the truck.

    In order to reduce worries during the war, Tsuji Masanobu ordered mainly to arrest young people.  They were strung up in iron wire shackles and escorted to the Strait of Johor, the Strait of Singapore and some important military installations to serve as human shields.  Then he placed the helpless women, old men and children behind them.  In this way, if young people want to escape, the Japanese army can kill the women, old people and children behind them to threaten them. If the National Defense Forces attack, the women, children and old people cannot avoid bullets and guns because they move slowly.

    In order to seize the time, the Japanese army began the first large-scale purge and massacre after the occupation.  By evening, nearly 70,000 people had been arrested, and 20,000 women, children, and rebels had been killed. Blood and corpses were everywhere, and the pungent smell of blood floated in the air.

    "Brothers! Fight with them!" The sudden massacre caught the Singaporean resistance organization off guard.  In Fishermen's Lane in Choa Chu Kang, on the Singaporean side of the Strait of Johor, more than a hundred young people quickly opened wooden beds and took out submachine guns that had been hidden for a long time from the cellar.  They are all local guerrilla soldiers.  Affiliated to the Malayan Division of the Asian League, it is the largest resistance organization on the peninsula.  The division commander and the leader of the Singapore Regiment were Lin Bosheng and Hu Tiejun who helped the British troops evacuate and blew up the fortress.  Due to the sudden incident, everyone was already prepared when Hu Tiejun arrived.

    Because there was no counterattack plan in the country before, and they were worried that armed activities would be retaliated by the Japanese army and spread their anger on the people, the Singapore Resistance Army mainly focused on collecting intelligence.  But this live massacre deeply angered everyone.  Seeing him coming, several soldiers immediately surrounded him with bloodshot eyes: "Brother Hu, tell me where to fight!" Although Hu Tiejun is young, he is very calm in his work and already knows what is going on in the city. He is even more worried about the safety of his compatriots.  Clarity must begin with understanding what is going on.  "Who can tell me. What's going on?"

    "I know a little bit." A middle-aged man who was doing odd jobs for the Japanese army came out and quickly told the whole story: "It's like this. This morning the Japanese emperor issued a canonization decree, and the officers gathered the Japanese soldiers to listen.  I don¡¯t know what they said, but the Japanese soldiers started shouting like crazy when they heard it, and many people cried. About half an hour later, they started arresting people everywhere. I listened to the translators of those traitors  It seems that they want to capture us Chinese as human shields to block domestic aircraft and artillery"

    "Jade Broken Order!" Before he could finish speaking, Hu Tiejun's face changed.  The Japanese army issued jade-breaking orders in Ryukyu and Seoul, and the massacre of local residents had already spread throughout the world through newspapers.  The Japanese government was condemned by the international community for this, but internally the Japanese army believed that this was a symbol of courage and decisive battle, so they intensified the implementation of the Jade Broken Order.

    In the past, most of the jade breaking orders involved Ryukyus and Koreans, so the Nanyang side had not yet experienced the pain. Unexpectedly, this infamous "order" suddenly appeared in front of us.  But he also knew that the news must be spread as soon as possible.  Seeing the main forceIt's coming. If the main force doesn't know the details and bombs indiscriminately, we don't know how many compatriots will die.  "Xiao He, take a few of the best water-resistant ones and immediately cross the strait to Guika to spread the news here! Remember! You must send out the news that the Japanese are using ordinary people as shields no matter what. Also, tell me  Commander, find a way to send more people to the island, I am in urgent need here. By the way, be careful in the strait, I just saw a lot of Japanese motorboats patrolling."

    "You guys go and find the rest of the people. If you meet anyone who is alone and willing to join us, call them all. Find more big iron pliers. The more the better. Also, be careful of the Japanese sneaking in.  , gather in the woods of Wanli Mountain at eight o¡¯clock in the evening.¡±

    ¡°We must save our compatriots!
