Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Yes." Qi Xieyuan paid a military salute and strode out of the headquarters.

At the same time that the 20th Army landed, the 21st Army also landed at the Senzhiwang Estuary.In Qiancaixi Port and the mouth of the Sembawang River, the rebels concentrated a whole division of troops in an attempt to stop the 21st Army. Relatively speaking, the pressure of the 21st Army appeared to be relatively high.

The fleet gradually approached the coast, and the two regiments who rushed to land on the beach sailed towards the shore with the help of landing craft, and the ships also aimed their naval guns at the fortifications on the shore. "Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of rumbling cannons echoed in the air, and the shells fell on the beachhead position, exploding clusters of sparks.However, the opponent's fortifications were done very well. Their heavy machine guns spewed out flames as soon as the landing troops landed on the coast.A dozen or so landing soldiers who hadn't found cover in time fell down immediately.

"Damn, it's really unlucky. So many soldiers were injured as soon as they landed. The correspondents immediately asked for air support and fleet support, and destroyed the rebel fortifications first." Li Liejun, the commander of the 21st Army, yelled.

A few minutes later, there was a buzzing overhead, and a formation of carrier-based aircraft rushed over the landing point at the mouth of the Sembawang River, bombarding the rebel fortifications indiscriminately. At the same time, the escort on the sea The fleet also continued to fire at several fortifications on the beach.After about half an hour of continuous bombing in this way, the fortifications of the rebel fortress were completely destroyed.

"Brothers, come on!" Li Liejun yelled at his soldiers.

The charge sounded, and the marines uttered a shout, and rushed towards the opposite side in skirmish formation.

The two sides fought fiercely in the beachhead area.Sun Dianying, the commander of the 11th Division of the rebel army, shouted loudly: "Grandma, the other party is obviously going to attack our position. The previous bombing by the enemy caused a heavy loss of our heavy weapons. Now we want to block the offensive. With the rifles and bayonets in our hands, whoever dares to retreat, I will be the first to kill him!"

As soon as the soldiers under him heard Sun Dianying's order, one by one, as if they had been hit with stimulants, they shot desperately at the landing army on the opposite side.

"Boom", the artillery units in the rear have already landed, and quickly set up heavy artillery. The artillery shells are pouring towards the rebel positions like raindrops. The artillery positions on the beachhead have been completely lost under the bombardment of naval guns and aircraft bombs. , so facing the opponent's artillery unit, Sun Dianying was also helpless.

"Son of a bitch, if the bombing continues like this, they will almost blow up my soldiers!" Sun Dianying roared hoarsely, watching the shells explode on the battlefield, and every explosion would bring a piece of blood. Bloody flowers and pieces of meat flying across the ground were wailing all over the defensive position. "Medical soldiers! Medical soldiers!..."

"Charge, charge, I will fight them to the end!" Sun Dianying drew out his command saber and ordered the troops to launch a counter-charge.While avoiding the bombardment of the shells, the rebels unloaded the bullets, then loaded the bayonets, and rushed towards the opposite side shouting loudly.

The two sides started a fierce hand-to-hand fight under the scorching sun. The soldiers on both sides refused to accept the other. When they met, they seemed to be enemies. They desperately thought about the other side's assault and assassination. , and even biting each other, like wild beasts, desperately putting each other to death in order to survive!

This kind of hand-to-hand combat lasted for more than an hour. The total strength of the 11th Division was far inferior to that of the opponent, and it was finally defeated. The Huwei Army pursued the victory.Soon the remaining rebels on the beach were surrounded.The two sides fought again and again until around three o'clock in the afternoon, when the rebel army finally found it difficult to continue. Some died, some were wounded, some were captured, and they were completely swallowed up by the Huwei army.The division commander, Sun Dianying, wanted to escape, but was stabbed to death by a pair of soldiers who were chasing him with military stabs.

In this way, the position at the mouth of the Sembawang River was finally taken by the Tigers, and a large number of troops landed on the coast continuously, making final preparations for attacking downtown Singapore.

At this time, the 22th Division of the 16nd Army landed in the area of ​​Serangang Port and guarded an infantry brigade of the rebels in Serangang Port. The brigade commander Wang Dong ordered his soldiers to guard the port at all costs.The Huwei army must not be allowed to land successfully, but how can a brigade's strength be able to withstand the attack of a division of the opponent?What's more, the opponent still has the sea and air superiority.

Through the binoculars, Wang Dong clearly saw batches of soldiers on the other side calmly carrying out the landing. He could only sigh deeply. This is the difference in strength. Hiding in the trenches couldn't even raise their heads.

Jin Yunpeng, commander of the 22nd Army, stood on the deck of the warship, looked at the fortifications on the beach, smiled slightly, and said to Liu Yunfeng, the chief of staff beside him: "Look, I really didn't expect that our landing was so smooth. It seems that the rebel troops guarding this beachhead are not strong enough." Liu Yunfeng said with a smile: "Commander, it should be said that we were relatively lucky this time, and we were able to capture this beachhead in a short period of time. The strength of the rebels is very embarrassing, and they need to put more troops into the next street fighting."

"Yunfeng, what do you think of Tekong Island and Ubin Island behind Singapore Island?"

"Put it aside, don't worry about it. Speaking of it, Yuan Shikai made such a stupid mistake at this time, and his death is approaching." Jin Yunpeng nodded: "I heard that they put a whole The strength of the brigade, it seems that the brigade is idle and has nothing to do, well, I will listen to you, ignore the two islands, order the troops, concentrate their firepower to destroy the enemy in front of them, and then march to the city of Singapore!"

"Yes!"

Next, the 16th Division divided into two attacking forces, like two sharp knives, pierced straight into the center of Tampines. As the two units leading the 22nd Army, the commanders of the four brigades seemed to be fighting with all their might. Like a competition, they launched a fierce attack on Paya Lebar Airport with a destructive momentum.

As the general manager of the region, Sun Yongan, the head of the independent regiment, is already extremely anxious at this time. The airport, as the only place where Singaporean military aircraft land and park, is occupied by the enemy, which means that Singapore will completely lose the protection of air power. If not, it will be an even greater disaster for the defenders of Singapore.Before that, he had received an order from the governor, no matter what, he must stick to the airport, otherwise he would come to see him in advance!

After receiving the order, Sun Yongan immediately concentrated all the surrounding forces and moved closer to the airport.An airport battle has begun!

The 16th and 8th Brigades of the 9th Division of the Huwei Army came to the vicinity of the airport first, and immediately launched an attack on the airport. Shells flew all over the sky, and a tank formation rushed out from behind the gunpowder smoke, and rushed straight on the airport position .

Sun Yong'an had known for a long time that the opponent's equipment was far superior to his own, but seeing this situation with his own eyes, he still couldn't help trembling in his heart. "Brigade Commander, I think this battle is not easy to fight." The adjutant said very worriedly.

"This battle is indeed difficult to fight, but if the airport is lost, we still have no way to survive. Now we have to bite the bullet and fight to the end. Before we receive the order to withdraw our troops, we must fight to the last man. At the airport, they want to easily occupy the airport from me, don't even think about it!" Sun Yongan said through gritted teeth.

Cannonballs, bullets, and bombs continuously poured into the airport positions, and the huge explosions swallowed up the screams of the rebels. Armored combat vehicles continued to carry out assaults, and their rolling tracks pressed towards the enemy's positions.In the case of a shortage of heavy weapons, Sun Yongan had no choice but to force his soldiers to roll to the bottom of the tank with explosive barrels in their hands and carry out human bombing.

Resurgence: World War II, Chapter 5, Chapter [-], The Battle for the Airport

"Fuck, these bastards are absolutely hateful!" Zhang Zizhen, the brigade commander of the Eighth Brigade, saw several chariots destroyed, and was so angry that he almost stamped his feet and cursed at the street.You know, how important the position of the chariot battalion is. Zhang Zizhen has been the brigade commander for several years, and was only assigned to a chariot battalion when he entered the key battle in Singapore at this time.For this chariot battalion, Zhang Zizhen is like a treasure.But now seven or eight chariots have been destroyed or damaged by the rebels, which makes Zhang Zizhen feel like a knife. "Pass my order, and the troops advanced quickly, saying that they will take down the airport before it gets dark today."

The brigade commander of the 9th Brigade came to Zhang Zizhen from Yunlong, breathing smoke and fire, and said: "Old Zhang, the rebels guarding the airport are still fighting trapped beasts. If our soldiers attack rashly, it may cause a lot of trouble." Necessary losses, so I think it is safer for us to proceed steadily and approach step by step."

"I don't care if it's safe or not. The troops from other roads may have already captured the predetermined location. Now that our troops and equipment are far superior to the opponent's, there is no need to be so cautious. Let's let go of our nerves." Fight, the airport has a relatively wide view, we can have no scruples at all, as long as we follow the instructions above and don’t destroy the ground planes. Old You, not every battle must be cautious, like the current situation, we You can make a big deal, what do you think?" You Yunlong nodded, patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are not afraid of the sky, you are not afraid of anything, you have to be responsible .” Turning around, he said to the messenger: “Order the troops to attack across the board!”

The two brigades immediately launched a joint onslaught, and Sun Yongan's situation became more and more embarrassing.

The adjutant was sweating profusely: "Brigade Commander, hurry up and make a decision. We have held on for more than half a day. The opponent's attack power is really too strong. If this continues, I don't know if we can hold on." How long, the only option now is to retreat. We retreat to the city first, on the one hand to preserve our strength, and on the other hand to fight street battles with the enemy, which is better than fighting here."

Sun Yongan's eyes were red, and he smoked fiercely, "Without the governor's order, if I retreat without authorization, we will not survive!"

Under the cover of powerful firepower, the Huwei army began to advance towards the deep area of ​​the airport. At the same time, the cavalry regiment that arrived later also joined the battle, constantly attacking Paya Lebar Airport, and completely surrounded Sun Yongan's army at the airport. Inside, Sun Yong'an personally went into battle and directed his soldiers to break out of the siege.

Paya Lebar Airport is in danger!This news reached Lu Zongyu's ears. Lu Zongyu was so devastated that he immediately ordered the 36th and 41st regiments to go to the airport for support. However, the answer he got was: the two were fighting fiercely with the 21st Army of the Huwei Army , is about to be annihilated, and it is impossible not to mobilize troops.

"Could it be that the airport is doomed? If it's not possible, order the planes staying at the airport to take off, and say nothing can fall into their hands." Lu Zongyu slapped the table angrily.

The staff officer spread his hands and said: "The Tiger's Mighty Army's planes have been circling over the airport, carrying out high-altitude fire suppression. Our planes can't fly at all. Alas, if the independent brigade is not arranged on Pulau Pulau Pulau Tekong and Pulau Ubin Well, they can be used to reinforce the airport, but they are useless now.

"Is there any way. This is the defense plan arranged by the Governor. Can I change his plan? Besides, the Governor has many luxury properties and vaults on the two islands. The 15th Brigade is responsible for protecting these properties." Lu Zongyu sighed and said: "Call Sun Yong'an and allow him to abandon the airport and break through to preserve his troops."

"Yes."

Sun Yongan received the telegram from the Governor's Mansion, and said to the adjutant with a wry smile: "Look, this is the withdrawal order given to me by the Governor's Mansion, but now we can't leave even if we want to. , I knew it would end like this, it seems that today we can only fight to the death!" The adjutant said: "No matter what, we have to give it a try."

Sun Yong'an nodded, and issued an order to withdraw the troops. The rebels were like wounded mad dogs, breaking out crazily, and no one wanted to let go even if there was a little hope of survival.However, given the huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and the huge difference in weapons and equipment, it is impossible for these besieged soldiers to break out of the encirclement. Such a blind breakout can only speed up the process of death.

The encirclement quickly narrowed, and the troops surrounded it. A reinforced platoon from the 8th Brigade took the lead in breaking into Sun Yongan's brigade headquarters. Braving out, surrounded by his staff officers, adjutants and others, there are more than [-] people in a mess, they all drew their guns and killed themselves when they saw that the situation was over.

Although the brigade headquarters was breached, the remnants of the rebel army at the airport did not stop their stubborn resistance. At this time, although they knew that there was a dead end, they could only do nothing for them.The two sides fought until the evening, and all the remnants of the rebels at the airport were wiped out.

Jin Yunpeng, commander of the 22nd Army, came to the airport and sighed at the scene in front of him. None of the rebel brigades guarding the airport from Sun Yongan and below surrendered, which had to move Jin Yunpeng.

At the same time that Paya Lebar Airport was captured, the 20th Army had also attacked the Jurong area.The public security bureau guarding Jurong was suddenly overwhelmed by the attack of an army of the Huwei Army.

"What should we do? What should we do? Director, what should we do now? We are the Public Security Bureau. We don't have an army system at all, and we don't have army equipment. A full force is equivalent to a division's strength. With our little strength, It's impossible to resist the mighty tiger army." Gong Zhenpeng, the counselor of the Public Security Bureau, frowned and said to the director Lu Jianzhang.

"Director, we are directly facing the most elite 20th Army in the Tiger Mighty Army. They have an entire armored infantry division, and they have the strongest combat effectiveness." Gong Zhenpeng said again.

"Well, it seems that we can only fight to the death. As for the result, it depends on God's will." Lu Jianzhang said with a sigh.

At this time, Liu Cunhou's armored infantry division was the advance force and launched the most violent attack on the rebels' positions. The real combat force of the rebels at this time was the 3rd Wing of the Public Security Bureau. With the attack of the powerful armored group, the defense of the 2nd Wing is becoming more and more difficult. The captain of the 3rd Wing saw the current situation and knew that it was impossible to resist the opponent's attack only by relying on a wing like him.After just over two hours of fighting, the 3rd Regiment was almost completely annihilated. Seeing that it was powerless, the Regiment Captain had to commit suicide in despair.

"What? The entire army of the 3rd Wing was wiped out?" Although Lu Jianzhang had expected it, he sat down on the chair in shock.

"Director, now is not the time to lament and regret. We are now facing the attack of an enemy army. The 3rd Wing has requested to withdraw from Jurong more than once during the battle, but it has not received the order from the General Administration for a long time. Now Jurong It’s really hard to hold on, Chief, give an order, we’ve already lost the 3rd Regiment, I’m afraid if we continue to fight like this…” Counselor Gong Zhenpeng didn’t say any more, his meaning was very clear, if we continue to fight, the Public Security Bureau will fail re-existed.

It took Lu Jianzhang a while to wake up, "Yes, yes, we have already lost the 3rd Wing. If we continue to fight, we will die sooner or later. Pass my order, and the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Wings will withdraw from Jurong immediately. , all troops entered the urban area for defense, we can no longer let other regiments also become cannon fodder for the enemy!"

After receiving the order from the General Administration, each wing immediately began to organize a breakout battle. After half a day of fierce fighting, they finally highlighted the encirclement of the Huwei Army and retreated to the urban area of ​​Singapore. However, the Public Security Bureau also paid nearly half of the casualties for this. cost.

Wearing a gray woolen cloak, Liu Cunhou walked through the center of Jurong filled with thick gunpowder smoke. He was filled with emotion when he saw the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield. He did not expect that he could take Jurong so smoothly. At first, I was worried that there would be a life-and-death battle with the rebels in Jurong, but the facts told Liu Cunhou that the rebels were at the end of their strength at this time, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, especially the miscellaneous troops assembled by the Public Security Bureau. Speaking of comparing with the Huwei army, it means that compared with Yuan Shikai's army, the difference is not 01:30.

However, if you want to win Singapore, you can't do it without paying a certain price, especially when you enter the urban area to fight street battles, where the terrain is complicated, the strength of the Tiger's Army will inevitably be greatly reduced, and even incalculable casualties will occur What's even more troublesome is that the 238 high-ranking officials who participated in the Yuan Mansion's birthday banquet were still being detained by Yuan Shikai, including Governor Duan Qirui of Malaysia and Governor Feng Guozhang of Indonesia. These hostages will be taken out to threaten the court to cease fighting.Thinking of this, Liu Cunhou felt a splitting headache.He still doesn't know that in the Bukit Panjang area, the 21st Army is in an unprecedented fierce battle!

Turning around, after the 21st Army landed at the mouth of the Senzhiwang River, after a brief build-up of troops, Li Liejun immediately ordered to launch an attack on the Bukit Panjang area.This time, they faced the main force of the rebel 12th Army, the 17th, 18th and 19th Brigades.Li Liejun arranged for his chariot battalion and armored infantry regiment to take the lead, followed by several other infantry regiments.

In an instant, gunpowder smoke filled the position, and the chariot battalion and armored infantry regiment continued to carry out assaults.However, the rebels came up with an ingenious way to block the assault of the tank battalion and the armored infantry regiment.They built some obstacles with stones, bricks, or barbed wire in front of the position. Although these obstacles can be cleared by the opponent in a short time, they will always delay the enemy's advance.On the battlefield, the number of casualties is often not calculated in terms of people, but in seconds.
