Chapter 974: Asik Island

Asikh Island.

On this small island, which has no strategic value, Su Yangquan and his companions have been holding out for six days. Every time the Malayan military police arrived, they retreated to the west of the island, and as soon as the Malayan military police left, they returned to the east of the island, uprooted the British mark, and replaced it with the flag of the Republic of China.

These radical nationalists, their goal is very simple, to start from Asik Island and really make their dreams come true.

Of course, all this is inseparable from the support of the Chinese government.

But will the government support their actions?

No one can give them an exact answer, but they don't care either. In their hearts, there is only one goal: China's Asia, the Federation of China's China!

In order to achieve this goal, it is worth the sacrifice they have to make.

But their efforts and waiting were not in vain, two mortars and a hundred shells, and two machine guns were secretly sent to Asik Island!

The man who brought the ammunition didn't say much, except to say meaningfully: "When your safety is threatened, sink them!" ”

Enough, that's enough!

On July 13, the British colonial authorities again sent two patrol boats carrying more than 4. The armed military and police are ready to completely drive out the Chinese on the island by force.

But this time they completely miscalculated.

As the patrol boat approached Asik Island, it was suddenly hit by shells from the island. The whistling shells caught the Malayan military police off guard, wounded one gunboat, and then two gunboats evacuated Asik Island in a hurry.

This is what happened to the shelling of "Asik Island".

The British authorities of the Straits Settlements lodged a serious protest with the Chinese government, demanding that the Chinese government immediately urge the Chinese armed personnel to withdraw from Asik Island and compensate for the corresponding losses.

Subsequently, however, the Chinese government rejected the request, solemnly stating that it was a personal act of the Chinese nationals, and demanding that the Straits Settlements authorities properly handle the incident and ensure the safety of the Chinese nationals on the island.

This is the first time that the Chinese government has taken a stance on the Asik Island incident, and it has maintained its tough stance.

The Second World War was in full swing, and the British were so focused on the impending German attack on the British mainland that they were not prepared for what was happening in Asia. The Straits Settlements authorities are therefore required to resolve this issue with restraint and restraint while ensuring the dignity of the British Empire.

This poses a huge problem for the Straits Settlements authorities.

After urgent consultations, the Straits Settlements authorities nevertheless considered the dignity of the British Empire to come first, and judged that it would be absurd and irrational for the Government of China not to turn against the British Empire because of a small island of no strategic value.

The authorities of the Straits Settlements decided to carry out the expulsion by force anyway!

This time, the British mobilized a gunboat and decided to settle the issue of Assiron Island cleanly before the Chinese government took any further action.

When the British gunboats appeared, they were again counterattacked from Asik Island. Mortar shells fell on the sea one by one, and even the British gunboats felt a certain degree of threat.

The British gunboats then began to counterattack and quickly suppressed the island's artillery fire. Su Yangquan had participated in the war and knew very well that he could not stop the gunboat with two mortars. Immediately, he abandoned his intention to stop the British gunboats and began to retreat to the west of the island with his own men.

But this time the British made up their minds to drive the Chinese out of the island no matter what. …,

The landed Malayan military police began to search from the east of the island to the west of the island!

And it was at this time that the machine gun went off......

One of the military police officers fell to the ground, and the rest of the companions fell to the ground in a panic, and they examined the injured companion and found that it was only a minor injury.

There are actually machine guns on the other side? This puzzled the military police, where did they get the machine guns? But the louder and louder sound of machine guns made them gradually worried.

And then, ...... - a grenade was thrown over.

The explosion of "boom" made those military and police officers panic suddenly. God, these Chinese actually have grenades!

Mortars, machine guns, grenades, they have such weapons.

Now things had become very troublesome and tricky, and when the military police consulted Lieutenant Rosen, the highest military commander on the gunboat, Lieutenant Rosen allowed them to retreat.

Another offensive by the Malayan military police failed!

This sudden situation has also attracted great attention from the Straits Settlements authorities. Although there are only 20 people on the island, they have so many weapons that it is clear that they have great support from outside forces.

And this external force is likely to be the government of China!

Now we have to take this issue seriously. The use of strong curved means has failed several times, and unless they attack again, those Chinese on the island will definitely not leave.

But will the continued use of forceful means completely anger the Chinese government?

While the Straits Settlements authorities were in a state of flux, fishing boats laden with Su Yangquan's companions, supporters and sympathizers returned to Asik Island. As many as 60 Chinese landed on the island this time, some of them veterans.

They brought a large number of weapons and household items for their companions who have persevered on the island until now.

And a huge five-color flag!

Obviously, they are ready to stay here for a long time.

The arrival of Chinese reinforcements has made the Straits Settlements authorities feel like a great enemy, and they must now solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise Asik Island will soon cease to belong to the Straits Settlements authorities.

By force, there is no longer any way but force!

The Straits Settlements authorities used 24. A military police armed with machine guns landed on Asik Island under the cover of gunboats and launched a fierce attack on the Chinese.

When it was the British who miscalculated the form. On the island of Asik, there are about 3 headed by Suyang Spring. They are all retired soldiers, some of whom have participated in the Northeast Operation, some have participated in the landing in Japan, and some have even participated in the war against Russia. These people have a wealth of experience in actual combat, and they are fully capable of withstanding the enemy's attack with sufficient weapons and ammunition, and they are holding Asik Island into their own hands.

The battle was not fierce, and an effective war, under the command of a veteran with extensive combat experience, was enough to keep the enemy under control.

When the military police came up, one was killed and two were wounded, and this greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the military and police to attack. They are police officers, not professional soldiers.

Many of them were Malayans, except that the officers were British. Many of them hadn't even touched a gun before, and the hellish British had brought them into the real battle.

And those Chinese on the other side are well-armed, have plenty of chalk, and also have the help of mortars, so that a reckless attack and death are actually exactly the same.

The Malayans struggled, and under repeated orders from the British officers, they reluctantly launched a second attack, with the result that they had nothing to gain but another companion.

Lieutenant Rosen, who personally landed on the island to command, was furious. As an officer of the British Empire, he has no way to deal with these Chinese on the island, which has to be said to be a shame for the British Military Palace! …,

After many fruitless storms, Lieutenant Rosen had to change his mind, and he was ready to use negotiation to achieve his goal!

However, the Chinese who were defending on the opposite side firmly told Lieutenant Rosen's envoy that Asik Island was a Chinese island and that they would never give up an inch of Chinese territory.

Lieutenant Rosen was a little annoyed, and he once again asked the messenger to tell the Chinese that if they did not leave Asik Island by 12 noon tomorrow, then he would call for more warships and artillery fire to support!

Su Yangquan did not hesitate to reject Lieutenant Rosen's ultimatum, of course, his companions still had some worries.

After all, they are now fighting alone on a strange island, and although they have won several beautiful victories, once the other side is mobilized to be a professional soldier, it will be difficult to defend it with their target.

But Su Yangquan is not worried about this, he told his companions: "I believe that our government will not let us go, and they are looking for opportunities to give us stronger support." Even I can be sure that in due course our army will even appear here! ”

His companions were skeptical. If the Chinese army is here, it means that China and Britain are going to war!

But none of this affected Su Yangquan, he shook his fist vigorously, and told his supporters with fanatical emotion:

"Rest assured, our government and the president have never been weak, whether it is with Russia or Japan. Our government will not watch our territory lose in vain, nor will it watch its own citizens die in vain. What we have to do is to strengthen our own confidence, and at the same time, to strengthen the confidence of the government, and I can tell you very clearly that our warships will definitely appear on the sea, definitely! ”

God knows where Su Yangquan's confidence came from, but since he saw his leader so confident, his companions were also slightly relieved.

When the deadline set by Lieutenant Rosen arrived, the Chinese on the island had no intention of evacuating.

Lieutenant Rosen was in a dilemma, and so were the Straits Settlements authorities.

And the eyes of the whole world are completely attracted by this small island called Asik Island! )
