    @@@@@@@@@

    The fierce sound of artillery resounded through the sky, and the battle had lasted for two days and two nights. The siege of 58,000 Japanese troops and puppet troops not only failed to recapture the Fort Canning Mountain Fort, the largest in Singdao, but in the tenacious defense of the Chinese airborne troops,  The Chinese Navy used ground-penetrating bombs and five-ton "Rage" heavy bombs to destroy the important Sentosa Siloso and Changi forts, and also allowed Ye Zishan to open up a stable transportation line, and to the west of the island.  Pasir Panjang and Clementi opened up the second landing field.

    The Southwest Theater Command also made timely coordination and dispatched troops from Natuna, Sumatra and even farther away from Borneo and Andaman. Within forty-eight hours, it used seaplanes and Sumatra ships to reinforce 13,000 soldiers to Singapore.  Four hundred tons of weapons and equipment including 5 Type 25C "Civet" light tanks, 8 Type 31 "Leopard" tanks, 15 "Hound" wheeled armored vehicles and 25 "Hunter" reconnaissance armored vehicles were also sent.  In view of the fact that the reinforcements included airborne troops, army and marines, as well as guerrillas such as the Malayan Division of the Asian League, and the command and coordination were chaotic, the theater commander Ouyang Nan decided to establish the Star Island Command after discussing with Qiu Wenbin, who was supervising the operation.  , jointly directed by Dong Hao, Ye Zishan and Lin Mousheng.

    In order to further strengthen the force and open up the Japanese encirclement, Ye Zishan decisively proposed to organize elite marines to cooperate with Lin Bosheng's Malayan Division and the Singaporean Volunteer Army to attack Sentosa and rescue more than 30,000 British, Dutch, Australian and New Zealand prisoners of war detained there.  This rescue operation was very timely. By the early morning of the third day, Lin Bosheng had rescued 26,000 prisoners of war.  After emergency supplies and rest, Colonel Brann, the former British Far East Army, joined the New Island Joint Force with 6,000 soldiers in good physical condition.  The troop dispatching capabilities of the Star Island Command have been greatly enhanced.

    In the face of absolute air superiority, the Fort Canning Fort and the coast of the Singapore Strait Embankment have become insurmountable barriers for the Japanese army!  Especially the fort area.  Under the desperate defense of the soldiers of the Star Island Command, the Japanese attack caused heavy casualties.  With the help of the Navy, Ye Zishan repaired a 381mm coastal cannon and three 152mm naval guns using technicians and spare parts sent by the Navy. When the naval gunner aimed the 381mm cannon at an extremely close range  After the Japanese infantry, only two or three artillery shells can often destroy a complete infantry squadron!  These turrets, which can rotate 360 ??degrees, are also guided by observation aircraft to carry out long-range strikes on Clementi in the west and Changi Airport in the east, even with the Japanese First Division mobilized from the direction of the Johor Strait.  They were all bombed to death.

    Lieutenant General Tanaka Shinichi was already a little hysterical. Three infantry regiments, a mountain artillery regiment, and a rapid-fire artillery brigade, with a total strength of 34,000 people, were actually involved in such a hard battle!  For this fort, General Yamashita Tobumi also strengthened his two 150-meter heavy artillery and a 105-meter mountain artillery brigade, but now?  Two days and two nights of fighting to the death.  The corpses on the surface can be spread from the Singapore Strait to the Johor Strait!  But I still couldn't chew it off. It really disgraced the Imperial Army!  This cannot continue like this. Although Mount Fort Canning is only fifty meters high, it can overlook the entire Star Island. If it cannot be snatched back, even the Johor Strait defense line will be flanked and collapse!

    The general has given enough trust!  The empire also hopes to continue to guard Malacca and force China into a stalemate!  Now that I have suffered a bloody blow here, I have really lost the face of the Imperial Army!

    "Bring the Chinese prisoners up. Use them to block the front!" Tanaka held the saber, his eyes blood red.  He has gone crazy!  Staring at the fort group in the distance, he loudly issued the final order.

    Soon, tens of thousands of Chinese "human shields" tied with ropes appeared in front of the Japanese army, forming a tight formation and slowly walking towards the fort under the threat of bayonets.

    "Colonel! Colonel! Look."

    Opposite Tanaka.  The officer pulled his direct opponent Ye Zishan to the transom.  The colonel, who had not slept for two days and two nights, was covered in mud, and the new military uniform he changed into before going out had been blackened by artillery fire.  Only a pair of bright and firm eyes told the Japanese army that there was an opponent here that they could not defeat.

    Through the artillery periscope, after Ye Zishan saw the Chinese being escorted by the Japanese troops towards the fort, he snorted coldly in his nose: "Stop shooting, the snipers are at their posts! Let the sea cavalry take off and take action according to the planned plan!"  The officers and staff who had imagined this scene were no longer nervous and immediately picked up the phone or radio and issued orders one after another to each unit.

    "Enter the position! Be careful of the hostages." Pei Jian greeted the hunters and entered their respective sniper positions. He stuck the special eight-power sniper scope on the sniper rifle, put his cheek against the butt of the gun, and began to adjust the scope according to wind speed and light.  He used an H38 bolt-action sniper rifle, which was copied from the later M21 sniper rifle.  Making a good sniper rifle is difficult and requires fine processing capabilities. Behind each finished barrel are ten to fifteen scraps, and each bullet has been screened at all levels. Therefore, the gun factory of Hanyang Industrial Group not only  After improving the technology many times, we also learned from FenFinland, Sweden and other countries invited senior firearms technicians.

    Because of the difficulty and high price of manufacturing, special sniper rifles are not available to everyone, so the deputy shooter next to him uses the most equipped squad H35 semi-automatic precision rifle.  "Here we come." As the deputy shooter reminded him, the black hostage appeared far away on the hillside.  Behind the hostages were all Japanese soldiers with low bodies and twisting running routes left and right.  "Mad! There are still quite a few mixed in the crowd. On the left next to the woman in blue." Through the sight, a Japanese soldier with a fierce "ciluo" face and a few grenades hanging on his upper body appeared in the crowd. The deputy  The sniper immediately turned his gun.

    "You saw it, leave it to me. Contact everyone and deal with the Japanese soldiers mixed in first." Pei Jian quickly captured the Japanese soldier, put him in the sight and slowly pulled the trigger.  "Hurry up! Baga, fight to the death!" The corpses on the ground had already frightened Chen Baomei, who was over fifty, so much that she trembled all over. Because she was walking slowly, she was pushed and staggered by the Japanese soldiers.  This fall actually aroused her desire to die.  Seeing that the surroundings were quiet and not even a single National Defense Force soldier was seen, I thought they were worried that they would not dare to shoot, so I shouted at the top of my lungs: "Shoot! Children! Shoot! These Japanese devils are buried with them."  Our death is worth it!¡±

    "Shoot! Shoot!"

    When she shouted, the Chinese who were captured and used as hostages also started shouting.  Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the Japanese soldier who didn't know that he was already in the scope immediately raised his bayonet.  But before he could stab him, the gunshot rang out!  Only a snap was heard, and the head of this Japanese soldier with a fleshy face and grenades hanging all over his body seemed to explode, and countless yellow and white thick juices spewed out.

    "Sniper!" The Japanese army responded quickly. As soon as Pei Jiang killed the Japanese soldier, several people around him shouted.  But no matter how fast they are.  It is not as good as the more than two hundred snipers specially selected by Ye Zishan from various troops.  On the six-kilometer-long arc-shaped defense line in front of the fort alone, there are more than a hundred people, and there are hundreds of elite veterans who can shoot accurately to cooperate.  So after Pei Jian fired the first shot, a continuous crisp sound like fried beans immediately rang out in the silent position just now. The Japanese soldiers mixed in among the hostages were killed one after another in the blink of an eye, and most of them were shot in the head.  There is no way to make the action of dying together.

    "Run! Run!" After the sniper started.  Shouting also came from several loudspeakers placed along the defense line.  Chen Baomei, who had not yet woken up from the sight of the Japanese soldier's head being ripped open, felt her feet slip and was pulled by the people next to her to run towards the fort.

    "Pop!" The crisp gunfire was not dense, but it was extremely deadly. In just two minutes from the first bullet to the sound of the horn, three to four hundred Japanese soldiers were killed by snipers.  "Baga! Shoot! Fire! Kill them all! Charge, charge after them! Use bayonets. Use teeth. Use people to fill these small hills!" Seeing the situation in front, Tanaka  Completely crazy, screaming desperately to kill the hostages and charge.

    But at this moment, there was suddenly another loud engine noise ahead.  The sound came from far away, just as the Japanese soldiers were looking around.  Six weird gyroplanes they had never seen before "tumbled" out from behind the ridge.  "Gyrocopter!" A Japanese military staff officer who had fought with the National Defense Forces in Siem Reap immediately recognized this as a rotorcraft with machine guns that had appeared over the Mekong River.

    But his horrified shouts were too late to reach the front. After six "Sea Trooper" helicopters imitating the S55 used their unique hovering and low-speed capabilities to pass over the hostages, the machine gunners in the cabin immediately pulled the trigger.  Even though the rate of fire was adjusted to 650 rounds per minute due to the difficulty of changing the barrel, the 1,000 rounds of vehicle-mounted metal bullets were still fired quickly.  The dense rain of bullets instantly filled the battlefield, forcibly cutting the hostages and Japanese soldiers in half. The unique sound like tearing oilcloth, as long as you hear it, means death!

    The wide view from above made strafing extremely easy. In just a few minutes, the Japanese soldiers who were following the hostages were "blown down" by a rain of metal bullets like autumn leaves swept away by the autumn wind. Their flesh and blood were spattered, their limbs were broken, and more than two thousand Japanese infantrymen were killed.  In this way, they were forced to the ground by the hail of bullets from the "Sea Cavalry", suffering heavy casualties and unable to pursue the hostages at all.  Before the "Sea Cavalry" could finish its rampage, 32 tanks and armored vehicles rushed out from both wings, crushing the Japanese troops along the roads like mercury pouring down.  There was machine gun fire overhead, thick armor on the ground, and a large number of automatic weapons and air support The Japanese army could not attack.  The Indonesian 2nd Army was the first to collapse. Thousands of remaining soldiers crashed into the left wing of the 18th Division, causing chaos, and were then slaughtered to death by the Chinese Navy's attack aircraft fleet.

    "It's over!" Seeing this scene, Tanaka Shinichi was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the six "Sea Cavalry" flying wildly over his troops, and even forgot to organize a machine gun to shoot it down.  Two days and two nights!  Fifteen thousand imperial soldiers, the last elite did not even make it to the top of the fort!

    "Jade piecesBar!  "

    The fierce firepower of the "Sea Cavalry" woke Tanaka up and he couldn't fight anymore!  Faced with the Chinese military's endless attack methods and a large number of extremely powerful automatic weapons, it is no longer possible for Singapore to hold on.  So after waving to several captains, he took out his saber bit by bit and slowly fell to the ground with gray eyes.

    After the helicopter achieved miraculous results in rescuing the hostages, Ye Zishan remained unyielding and immediately asked the armored battalion to cooperate with the "Sea Cavalry" squadron to launch an attack on the city hall four kilometers away.

    On the afternoon of December 21, on the roof of the City Hall, symbolizing the center of Singapore¡¯s power, the sun flag that had shrouded Star Island for 31 months was torn down by three airborne troops. The Chinese flag flew over Star Island for the first time
