Chapter 612: The Death of the Singapore Fortress (Part II)


s: Please vote for support The Singapore Fortress in this plane is definitely a classic work of conscience.

After this fortress has been strengthened and transformed, it has eliminated the previous defect that all cannons could only face the sea.

Many gun positions have been added in the land direction, and it has also been greatly strengthened. air defense force.

After the Frenchmen's Maginot was cratered by the Germans using cloud bombs, they quickly modified the fortress to prevent it from being detonated by cloud bombs.

Although Opium Cow has declined, it is still an industrial powerhouse.

The principle of cloud bombs is not complicated.

As long as you know it, you can defend it.

Of course, whether you can defend it is another matter.

Currently, there are only 6-inch and above heavy artillery in this fortress, including 8 18-inch 457mm class, 12 165-inch 420mm class, 14 15-inch 381mm class, and 3 14-inch 356mm class. 7 guns, 76 guns of the 12-inch 305mm class, 60 guns of the 92-inch 234mm class, 36 guns of the 8-inch 203mm class, 89 guns of the 6-inch 155mm class, and more than 300 guns of the 6-inch or below class.

There are nearly 400 anti-aircraft guns ranging from 20 mm to 102 mm, and thousands of anti-aircraft machine guns.

The main body of the fortress is entirely composed of solid granite collected from the Malay Peninsula and a reinforced concrete structure.

Battleship-grade armored steel is also laid in important parts.

Those 14-inch or larger artillery positions, ammunition depots and command posts are even more important.

In theory, they all have the ability to be immune to direct hits from armor-piercing projectiles below 20 inches, and to defend against 4,000-pound semi-armor-piercing aerial bombs.

Well, most of these heavy guns and armor come from pre-dreadnoughts that were dismantled after the Naval Treaty, as well as products that were built in excess and later became obsolete, mainly guns under 15 inches.

The 18-inch heavy gun is a by-product of the Naval Treaty, because the Naval Treaty limited the caliber of the main gun of the battleship, but it did not limit the caliber of the fortress gun.

When the treaty was signed, the British's 18-inch naval gun was almost completed, so they were naturally reluctant to give up.

So they played a marginal game, claiming that it was a fortress cannon, and got away with it.

In fact, other countries are similar.

China and the United States also play this way.

China's "Pioneer II Project" was carried out in the name of fortress artillery.

As a result, after this 460mm heavy artillery came out, it was not installed on the fortress at all.

The underground part of the Singapore Fortress is also very large, with several spacious tunnels that can accommodate two cars traveling side by side, multiple control rooms, dozens of emergency elevators, as well as military barracks, residences and offices.

Exquisite gates and filters are also set up to protect underground personnel from various poisonous gases.

After strengthening and transformation, they can also have strong defense capabilities against cloud bombs.

And unlike the original time and space, the Singapore Fortress is no longer short of water.

Not only have more than a dozen wells been drilled, but three underground aqueducts have also been built to deliver water directly from the peninsula's reservoirs.

Moreover, there are three seawater desalination plants inside the fortress, as well as a tap water purification plant, which can directly extract seawater and salty well water for desalination.

Hundreds of warehouses and cold storages store enough food to feed 200,000 people for two years, and ammunition is also very sufficient.

All artillery positions have at least 10 basic ammunition.

Its degree of metamorphosis has far exceeded that of the Sevastopol Fortress in the original time and space, of course because the number of turtle shells in this plane has increased significantly, and they have all been generally upgraded.

The world's number one fortress in Singapore may not be considered the best.

The top three are also a bit reluctant because there are fortresses in Oahu, Brest, Malta, Sudetenland, Liege, Dover, Viborg, Mannerheim and Gibraltar.

It's the same perversion, but it's still okay to be ranked in the top five.

From the British point of view, such a perverted turtle shell is almost impossible to attack from the outside.

No matter how powerful the Chinese are, they still have to pay a huge price if they want to conquer such a fortress.

Even if they slowly attack it from the outside with large-caliber heavy artillery, it will take a lot of time and cost a lot of lives.

With Wen Desi's consistent style, he is not afraid of spending money or consuming supplies.

As the world's largest industrial country, these things are nothing, but he is certainly not willing to suffer too many casualties.

After so many years, Wen Desi's style has also profoundly affected the Chinese army, that is, if you can use cannons, you will never use guns, and if you can use guns, you will never use knives.

Anyway, it’s just one, unless it’s absolutely necessary, no human life is needed to fill it.

As long as Wen Desi, the great poisoner, is still in power, there will not be many changes in the PLA's combat style.

Therefore, the British definitely believed that even if they had to give up the Malay Peninsula in the end, they could use this fortress to cut prices for the Chinese.

With the virtue of opium cattle, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

Teammates such as France, Portugal and Belgium can sell it, and true sons such as Australia and New Zealand can also sell it.

Not to mention colonies like Malaya, but they must You have to sell it at a good price.

Kuala Lumpur, May 1, 1941, AD 2782.

The central government building in Kuala Lumpur was replaced with China's five-star red flag this morning.

With the cooperation of the local Chinese volunteers, the 26th Mountain Division captured the city with almost no effort.

In fact, the 26th Mountain Division spent far more time traveling than fighting.

During this period, except for the capture of the Sultan's Palace in Perak, they did not encounter a decent battle.

There was no way, the Malayan army was so rubbish, the main force on the Siam-Malaysia front line couldn't even withstand the initial firepower preparations, and collapsed as soon as the air raid started.

Not to mention the local troops, even the Chinese militia could overthrow them.

From then on, their mission was basically to capture prisoners and take over territory.

Under the influence of China, the infrastructure construction in Romania is quite good.

Railways, roads, bridges and culverts are all in accordance with Chinese standards.

China's heavy mechanized troops can run everywhere, but the infrastructure construction here in Malaya is really too poor.

Worse, once you cross the Siam-Malaysia border, it's like traveling through two eras.

There are no decent roads here at all.

Well, this may also be due to Malaya's strategic security considerations.

They deliberately left those bad areas, at least so that the enemies in the north would not attack so smoothly.

From one point of view, they were indeed very successful.

China's mechanized troops had no choice but to move forward while building roads, not much faster than a turtle.

Fortunately, China not only has mechanized troops and motorized troops, but also light infantry divisions and mountain divisions.

These troops, which are mainly dismounted infantry, will be much less affected.

In order to improve the mobility of these infantrymen and reduce physical exertion, the General Staff specially equipped each of them with a mountain bike, the kind of "Permanent 33" mountain bike sold to Switzerland a few years ago.

This kind of bicycle is made of foam steel and weighs only 10 kilograms, but it can carry a fully armed soldier plus a week's supplies on the narrow roads of Malaya.

It can even disassemble an 81mm mortar into three large pieces and then transport it.

It is really the most ideal means of transportation in this kind of terrain.

Four divisions in China's Annan Military Region immediately converted to bicycle units, so in the past few days there was a rare sight of infantry rushing faster than mechanized units.

For example, now, the 26th Division has arrived in Kuala Lumpur, and the fastest mechanized division has just arrived in Ipoh.

This is because the 26th Division needs to be surrendered and received along the way, which delayed a lot of time.

Otherwise, they would all be able to rush in now.

Went to Singapore.

But now there is a big problem, that perverted Singapore Fortress.

Lieutenant General Wang Qiu, commander of the Fourth Group Army, arrived by plane with his team at noon today.

As soon as they arrived, they immediately convened a meeting of several subordinates, and then the commanders of several other divisions also arrived by plane.

That's it for this Singapore thing.

"The Singapore Fortress is currently garrisoned by six divisions and five brigades, namely the 18th British Army Division, the 8th and 9th Australian Army Divisions, and the 13th and 18th Marat Divisions on the Indian side. and the 3rd Malayan Division, in addition to the 1st New Zealand Brigade, Marat.

The total strength of the Third Brigade, the Pakistan Brigade, the Ceylon Brigade and the Tamil Brigade is more than 128,000."

Lin Dengwan introduced the situation of the Singapore garrison at the meeting.

He is a local leader here and also a local intelligence officer.

The people who go online in the department naturally know the things here very well.

Lieutenant General Wang Qiu's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.

When Lin Dengwan finished his introduction, he said, "Everyone, tell me how to attack this fortress."

"This turtle shell is not easy to chew.

The fortress has sufficient troops, weapons, ammunition and supplies, and there are no obvious flaws in its defense.

This kind of fortress can only be worn slowly," said Brigadier General Xu Dehua, commander of the 102nd Mech Infantry Division. said.

Major General Wang Zhuo, commander of the 26th Mountain Division, said: "Yes, you can only chew it slowly.

In the past, you could also try using cloud bombs, but they have strengthened the protection of those vents and observation ports, and the effect of cloud bombs is also Not so ideal” The other generals also expressed similar thoughts.

Everyone is a veteran, and they all know that there is really no quick way to win against this kind of turtle shell.

"It's easy to take it slow, but time waits for no one now.

The General Staff's plan requires 45 days to solve the problem."

Wang Qiu said helplessly.

"How is this possible, let alone 45 days?

Even if it doubles again, there is no guarantee."

"And the roads here are too bad now.

I'm afraid our heavy artillery won't be able to be sent up in a short time."

"The arrival of heavy artillery is also a problem.

Their fortress has dozens of 300mm guns that can shoot inland.

How can our field heavy artillery compete with the fortress artillery?

Except for our railway guns, no other heavy artillery can surpass these in terms of range.

A big guy with a modified battleship’s main gun.”

"We can only rely on airplanes, and the nearby airport cannot support high-intensity bombing missions.

We really have nothing to do with that thing in a short time."

The generals immediately started discussing, but there was no good solution
