    When Stilwell and Zhong Yi arrived at the west bank of the Sidang River, it was already evening.

    Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the Xidang River is calm and calm. There are more than a dozen small fishing boats scattered on the wide river. The hard-working fishermen are setting the last net before sunset.

    Stilwell couldn't help but admired: "What a beautiful scenery, it's just like a painting."

    "Yes, it's really beautiful." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Unfortunately, in a few months, this place will become a burning battlefield, and the iron hoofs of the Japanese invaders will crush everything here.  !¡±

    Stilwell's face immediately fell and he asked seriously: "Zhong, based on your judgment, how long will it take for the Japanese army to attack Burma?"

    Zhong Yi said: "It depends on how long Singapore can persist."

    "Singapore?" Stilwell asked in shock, "Do you think the Japanese army will attack Singapore first?"

    "That's for sure." Zhong Yi nodded. "Singapore guards the Strait of Malacca, and the Strait of Malacca is the choke point for the Japanese naval combined fleet to enter the Indian Ocean. Unless the Japanese army is prepared to fight with the British and Burmese without the assistance of the navy,  and the Chinese army, otherwise they will inevitably attack Singapore first."

    "That's true." Stilwell nodded and said, "If the Strait of Malacca cannot be opened, and if the Japanese Navy's combined fleet cannot enter the Indian Ocean, the Japanese Army will not only be unable to receive assistance from the Navy, but will even face the threat of the British Navy. In this way  Once this happens, the pressure on the Japanese Army will undoubtedly increase."

    Zhong Yi said: "If nothing else, it should be like this."

    Stilwell said: "Then how long do you think Singapore can last?"

    Zhong Yi said: "Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear lies?"

    "Listen to the truth." Stilwell frowned and said, "Of course I want to hear the truth."

    Zhong Yi sighed: "The truth is, Singapore can't hold on for even a week. When the Japanese troops approach the Strait of Johor, the British troops stationed in Singapore will fall apart."

    "Oh?" Stilwell said in disbelief, "Can't you hold on for a week?"

    "Yes, I can't hold on for a week." Zhong Yi sighed, "This is by no means alarmist."

    "No, no, Zhong, you must have made a mistake this time." Stilwell still didn't believe it and said, "You may not know very well. There are more than 140,000 British troops stationed in Malaysia. In addition, there are also the Pacific Fleet of the Navy.  As well as more than a hundred fighters of the Air Force, according to my understanding, the British army is stronger than Ishihara Kanji's 25th Army."

    "Because the Japanese 25th Army currently only has two divisions and one aviation team in place, with less than 50,000 people, and the air force only has more than 200 fighter planes. The only thing the Japanese army is stronger than the British army is the armored force. The Japanese 25th Army  It is equipped with an independent tank regiment with 150 tanks, while the British army has less than 50 tanks."

    "So what?" Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Although the British army is large in number, they are just servants recruited from the colonies. They are not British at all, and naturally they will not have any sense of honor. If the war goes well, then  It¡¯s nothing, but once the war goes wrong, it will immediately fall apart.¡±

    "There is also the British commander Percival. His ability is not necessarily much better than Alexander's, but he is more arrogant and stubborn than Alexander. This man is not only clumsy in tactics, but also underestimates the enemy. His mind is still immersed in the afterglow of the empire on which the sun never sets.  They didn't realize at all that the Japanese Army had already surpassed the British Army in terms of tactics, command, and combat experience of the soldiers! Therefore, the British Army's fragile defeat was foreseeable. Within a week, they were already overestimating them.  .¡±

    Zhong Yi is really not talking nonsense. In another time and space, more than 100,000 British troops in Singapore persisted for about 20 days.

    But it is impossible for the British army in this time and space to persist for such a long time. Because with him as a time traveler, the Japanese army has richer tactics, command and combat experience, and stronger combat effectiveness, especially the emergence of the Konglong troops.  , which made the British army in Singapore even worse. It really couldn't last more than a week.

    Stilwell frowned and said: "If the British army in Singapore can really only hold on for a week, doesn't it mean that the Japanese army will invade Burma in a month at most?"

    "Maybe it won't take a month." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "You just said that the Japanese 25th Army only has two divisions used to fight against Malaysia and Singapore, namely the 8th Division and the 18th Division.  , the 1st and 2nd Guards Divisions, which were split from the Guards Division, are still on the way."

    "If nothing happens, these two divisions will be able to reach Vietnam in a week."

    "That is to say,When the 8th and 18th Divisions occupied Singapore, the 1st and 2nd Guards Divisions had almost passed through Thailand, and could then confidently and boldly enter Myanmar.  "

    Stilwell said in a deep voice: "That is to say, Burma may be attacked by the Japanese army in half a month?"

    "Yes, in about half a month, the leading troops of the Japanese 25th Army will be able to reach the east bank of the Xidang River." Zhong Yi said quietly, "We don't have much time left."

    Stilwell frowned and said: "But I always feel that Malaysia and Singapore will not fail so quickly."

    "I don't want them to fail so soon." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "But unfortunately, this time the British opponent is Ishihara Wanji, this old devil is not simple!"

    ¡­¡­

    On the railway from Bangkok to the southern town of Yala, an armored train is slowly heading south.

    This armored train was borrowed from the Thai Army, and it carried the headquarters of the Japanese 25th Army.

    In one of the carriages, Ishihara Wanji was deep in thought looking at the map of Malaysia placed on the table.

    Footsteps suddenly sounded, and the Chief of Staff of the 25th Army, Kao Tanizina, walked in quickly. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention, gave Ishihara a smile and said, "Your Excellency, Commander!"

    Ishihara Wan'er asked without raising his head: "What's the matter?"

    Kaohsiung Tanahina said: "The 8th Division reported that their leading troops encountered a heavy British army group on the line from Kota Bharu to Tanah Merah. The British army's defense line looks very thick!"

    "Understood." Ishihara Wanji said lightly, "The 8th Division was telegraphed to leave an infantry regiment to contain the British army from the front. The main force of the division passed through the jungle on the left and outflanked the British army.  "

    "Nani? Crossing the jungle?" Gudinahuaxiong said, "Your Excellency, Commander, the tropical jungle is very dangerous. Our soldiers have never had the experience of crossing the tropical jungle, so will it be dangerous to do so?"

    "Baga." Ishihara smiled angrily, "Don't you understand what I said?"

    "Hai!" Gudina Huaxiong gave a fierce pause, then turned around and walked away dejectedly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
