Chapter 871 British Army Supply Base Destroyed

871 British Army supply depot destroyed

As dawn broke, Robles and his staff were still conducting war games at the British headquarters.

"Commander, according to our simulations..."

Even the Japanese Imperial Guard Division and the 18th Division, how could they attack?

With our current defensive lines in Kuala Lumpur and Gyipo to the north, we can easily hold out for more than half a month.

"A British military staff officer said confidently."

Another British officer standing nearby, upon hearing this, became somewhat displeased and suggested, "Commander..."

Actually, I think we don't need to adopt a completely defensive stance.

We should take the initiative.

Perhaps we can wipe out the Japanese 18th Division in front of us before those Chinese arrive.

Then our main force will turn north and be able to deal with the Japanese Imperial Guard Division that is heading south.

Why should we need anything from the Chinese?

After the British officer finished speaking, the other British staff officers around him all looked at him and remained silent.

Clearly, this person's bold statement shocked everyone.

Robles smiled on the surface, but in his heart he cursed the man.

Anyone who didn't know better would really think that the British army had already gained the upper hand over the Japanese.

If that were the case, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to attack the Japanese 18th Division alone and fail to capture it after so long.

Not to mention, an even more elite Japanese Imperial Guard Division was also selected.

He was cursing in his heart, but Robles still explained aloud, "After all, we and the expeditionary force are allies."

Furthermore, just to be on the safe side.

It was after they headed south that we began to act together.

We must strive to completely annihilate all Japanese troops and give them no chance to escape.

This was also General Stilwell's idea; it wasn't good for us to act on our own.

"Yes, the commander is right."

Other British officers immediately echoed this sentiment.

Robles breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Finally got over it.

What he just said was just polite talk.

He couldn't very well say that he had no confidence in his own army defeating the Japanese, and that he only hoped that the Expeditionary Force could go south to help them take down the Japanese.

But he certainly couldn't say such disrespectful things to her face.

At that moment, Robles glanced at the arrogant British officer who had just spoken, and made his decision.

This person will be transferred from headquarters to the front line to serve as a commander shortly.

Since he's so belligerent, the front lines just need someone like him.

Boom boom boom!

Just as Robles was pondering this matter, a series of violent explosions suddenly came from the south.

The sound was so loud, it felt like the ground was shaking.

"what happened?"

Robles looked puzzled and immediately sent someone out to find out what was going on.

Logically speaking, there were no Japanese troops to their south at this moment, so there was no possibility of battle.

At this time, about 20 kilometers south of the main British army, there was a place called Red Shop, which was a major ammunition and supply base for the British army.

Robles immediately connected the dots and his expression darkened.

"Please, please don't let something happen at the rear ammunition depot."

Robles prayed silently as he walked out of his headquarters and looked south.

As it turned out, this one look almost made him faint with anger.

In the direction of their rear supply base in the south, plumes of black smoke were already rising into the sky.

Robles knew without waiting for his men to report that their ammunition base must have been attacked.

The earth-shaking explosion just now must have been caused by the secondary explosion of their ammunition depot.

"Fuck, can anyone tell me?"

What exactly happened? How did the Japanese army end up at our rear ammunition base?

What are the garrison troops there doing?

Why did the Japanese army succeed in their surprise attack?

Robles roared at the British officers around him like a raging adult lion.

Everyone was intimidated and dared not utter a word.

"Commander, urgent telegram from the ammunition depot."

Before dawn, they were suddenly attacked by a large group of Japanese troops, who stormed their base.

Colonel Blair requested emergency support.

At that moment, a British army major ran over and gave Robles an urgent report.

Robles' face was ashen; he no longer wanted to dwell on why Japanese soldiers had appeared behind them.

There's no point in pursuing these questions now.

All he wants now is to protect his ammunition depot.

He knew very well that if his ammunition base were completely destroyed by the Japanese, it would be disastrous.

So, let alone what the British officers said earlier, that they could defeat the two Japanese divisions around them on their own.

Just holding the line and holding out until the expeditionary force arrives in five days is a problem.

"Go, notify the guard regiment."

Tell them to rush to the ammunition depot immediately.

"At all costs, preserve the remaining ammunition and supplies at the ammunition depot and repel the attacking Japanese troops."

Robles grabbed the British major by the collar and shouted.

"Yes, Commander."

The major ran away quickly.

Boom boom boom!

As a result, two more huge explosions came from the ammunition base, with flames shooting into the sky.

Now, Robles finally gave up.

With two massive explosions occurring simultaneously, their ammunition depot is expected to be severely depleted.
