The air power of the British was clearly insufficient!

The Buffalo fighters in the British Air Force Fighter Squadron in the Malay Peninsula had a number of problems, including being oversized and poorly equipped; insufficient supply of parts; insufficient support staff; The airfield is difficult to defend in the face of air attacks; lack of a clear and coherent command structure; hostility between squadrons and personnel of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force; Inexperienced pilots lacked proper training, and they paid a heavy price when the war broke out.

The rest of the attack fighters were of obsolete type: the Brenham, Lockheed Hudson light bombers, and the Vickers torpedo bombers. These aircraft simply do not play an effective role.

And because of this, the entire sky was occupied by Chinese planes.

The ground troops, under the cover of the aircraft, are also rushing forward!

But the British did not give up, Britain, this is a strange country.

In 1554, Queen Mary married Prince Philip of Spain, Catholicism became the Anglican religion, and large numbers of Protestant commoners, nobles, and clergy were beheaded or burned at the stake. Although the rebellion was quelled, hatred for Queen Mary was pervasive throughout the country.

As Protestant Bishop Latimer said at the stake: "God willing, we will burn the unquenchable torch in England today." ”

After the death of Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne, and Britain began to move towards the starting line of prosperity. Elizabeth is shrewd, cunning, and far-sighted, both cautious and sophisticated. And she has a sharp mind and knows people well. Although the queen also had the weakness of indecision and stinginess of women, and ≡ gloomy and moody thoughts, she won more worship than any other king in history, and on November 17, 1558, when she was on the throne, almost every English child could blurt out.

Elizabeth was a Protestant from an early age. She was surrounded by a large number of Protestant ministers of new ideas and talents, who helped her through the most difficult period in English history and ushered in the dawn of a great era.

Queen Elizabeth restrained the Puritans, who were more radical than Protestant, and she killed fanatical Catholic missionaries sent from the Holy See and imprisoned Mary, Queen of Scots, who posed the greatest threat to her throne. In order to prevent civil and external wars caused by marriage, she remained celibate to maintain stability in England.

The Catholic Spanish Empire hated Elizabeth, and the Spanish royal family plotted to kill the Queen of England and install the Catholic Queen of Scots. After the conspiracy of an English Catholic named Babington was exposed, the Protestant Chancellor insisted on killing Mary.

Elizabeth signed the death sentence, and another member of the British royal family lost his head because of his faith.

The death of Queen Mary shattered the Spanish king's dream of restoring Catholicism in England, and replaced it with only the means of war. Since Columbus discovered America and Magellan sailed around the world, Spain has had the world's largest fleet. Prince Philip intended to conquer pagan England like William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy.

Britain did not have a fleet worth mentioning, but there were some daring pirates and adventurers. One of them wrote:

"If a person is afraid of death and is unwilling to serve his country, and is unwilling to win glory for himself, then he is still alive and dead. There is always death, but honor lasts forever. ”

England's allies were the Low Countries of the Netherlands, the Protestant Netherlands, where Spanish troops were crushing pagans. The Dutch held back the Spanish army, leaving the British fleet free to fight the Spanish "Armada" under the command of the Duke of Parma in the English Channel. ■…,

The Spanish fleet was a complete failure, and plans to set foot on Britain came to naught. Before the war, Queen Eli Sabeth had a wonderful military parade speech:

"I do not have a distrustful attitude towards my lovely and loyal people, only tyrants have such doubts. You can see from my consistent actions that I have placed my strength and security in the sincerity of the people in accordance with God's will. Therefore, I have come to you, determined to live and die with you in the midst of the smoke of war. For the sake of God, for the sake of my kingdom, for the sake of my subjects, for the sake of my honor, for the sake of my ancestors, I did not hesitate to die on the battlefield and the body of the horse. I know that I am a woman, weak and weak, but I have the heart of a king, especially the king of England, and I despise Parma or any European monarch who dares to offend my land! ”

The great playwright William Shakespeare wrote the play "King John" in the passion of victory, and one line in it resonated deeply with the English:

"Even though the whole world is our enemy, we can repel them if they attack us on three sides. As long as England is faithful to itself, no great calamity can shake our hearts. ”

On May 10, 1940, Hitler's Panzer Corps broke through the Western Front, Chamberlain's government resigned, and the British king authorized Churchill to form a cabinet.

Churchill spent his whole life preparing for this day. He was energetic, eloquent, and eloquent—all sorts of important government positions. he

After the Dunkirk retreat, there were few heavy weapons left in the British mainland. After the surrender of France, Britain faced the most dangerous moment since the Norman invasion, even more serious than the threat of Napoleonic invasion. Thanks to the fact that Britain still has a fleet, there is also an air force to be proud of.

In the Battle of Britain, the British army defeated the prestige of the Luftwaffe, so that Hitler's "Sea Lion" plan dragged on indefinitely, and finally aborted.

And now, Churchill is also ready to hold on to Malaya, even until the British can no longer fight.

However, the Chinese were not Germans, and the Chinese troops in the Malay Peninsula decided to deal the final and most fatal blow to the British.

Since landing on the Malay Peninsula, Sun Lianzhong seems to be a banner of victory, and everyone believes in him so much that they entrust life and death to him, in order to immortalize the history of the soldiers

In the middle of the night, the cold gunfire of the British army disappeared, and from time to time one or two yellow-white flares hung in the sky, and the magnesium light flashed and shimmered, illuminating the bloody sand and hideous fortresses.

The soldiers in the position crept forward quietly, as slowly as possible, crawling over the barbed nets that had been shattered by artillery fire, and rolling down the anti-tank trenches. Now, they're safe.

Personally commanding the front, the enterprising Sun Liren decided to move on.

His soldiers climbed out of the anti-tank trenches, cut through the fragmented snake-bellied iron barbed nets, and finally approached the first line of British trenches. After a few days of fighting, the Chinese soldiers were just beginning to see the enemy's position. It turned out that the enemy's position was an underground fortification buried deep in the ground, covered with wooden planks and corrugated iron plates, and covered with sand, which was as flat and colored as the earth. So you don't see the target at all, and the enemy sees you clearly.

The officers and their soldiers climbed into the British trenches, and strangely enough, there were no soldiers inside!

They moved along the ditch again, capturing a number of machine-gun fire points and a few cantonment bunkers, but the enemy still did not move. Isn't it strange to recall that during the day the enemy resisted so stubbornly and fired so effectively?

The officers, based on their battlefield instincts, ordered the troops to stop advancing. Stay in the infantry ditches and anti-tank trenches, waiting for the general attack of their own army at dawn. …,

At this time, a large group of unusually tall and burly Australian men appeared, their Springsfield rifles with bayonets on them, and rushed at the Chinese soldiers in the ditch in the cold light, while singing an old English ballad: "It is a long way to reach Tiburyry."

Hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons in hand-to-hand combat began.

The British army seems to have woken up from its initial state of confusion.

These Australians in the British army pounced on the Chinese soldiers with murderous violence

Despite not appearing to be in the same class at all in terms of size and weight, the Chinese soldiers made up for this weakness with their excellent assassination skills.

Both sides fought quite tenaciously, and no one would give up easily. From time to time, people fall in pools of blood, and from time to time people die, Chinese and Western soldiers are carrying out a strangulation of their lives and forgetting their lives in this small position.

No one wants to fail! No one likes to fail! No one wants to give up here! ▲

After more than twenty minutes of fighting, reinforcements from the Chinese came up = they wiped out this group of Australians with the weapons in their hands!

When almost all of the Australians were dead, the Chinese soldiers collapsed exhausted and fell into their positions, seemingly unwilling to get up again.

Now, the fighting on the Malay Peninsula has become more and more tilted in the direction of the Chinese.

The Chinese had a great advantage on the ground in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, they had strong air support, and they were superior to the British in armoured forces, mutual cooperation, tactics and experience, so victory was expected.

Now, the conundrum before the British is that their allied forces on the Malay Peninsula: the British, the Australians, the Indians. It's hard enough to keep going. But the loss of the Malay Peninsula means that everyone knows very well.

The British could not afford such a loss

The Chinese, on the other hand, have no concerns, which is completely different from attacking Hong Kong, and they can bomb here with impunity and destroy all the targets they think may pose a threat to them. Then they ordered their infantry, with a pleasant mood, to occupy the enemy's position

While the Chinese army landed heavily in the Malay Peninsula and achieved numerous victories, they set their sights on a new objective:

Singapore!
