The morning sun shines on the sea, showing a golden color and the scenery is very beautiful.

The guns and cannons had already stopped on the beach in Changi. After the British army failed to launch a large-scale attack, Major General Kaffit chose to retreat. The attack in one night caused his troops to lose more than 4,000 people. Although the remaining British troops were still quite large, Major General Kaffit saw that if the attack continued, it would only cause greater losses. There was no need to waste precious troops. Therefore, Major General Kaffit directly led his troops back to Singapore city.

In addition to the corpses on that place and the smell of gunpowder left in the air, it also told how tragic the battle last night was. The soldiers of the Xinhua Army who worked hard for one night fell on the beach in groups of three or three, sleeping soundly. Brigadier General Zhang Shun, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army Marine Corps, was very tired, but he still insisted on setting up defenses. No one knew whether the British would continue to launch new attacks.

The troops of the 7th Infantry Brigade of the New China Army were also stepping up their disembarkation. During the fierce battle last night, only two battalions of the 7th Brigade were put into battle. The rest of the troops did not have time to disembark. Fortunately, they finally repelled the British attack and protected the safety of the landing ground.

A staff officer handed over the statistically-protected war loss report to Brigadier General Zhang Shun. During the fierce battle between day and night yesterday, the 1st Brigade of the Xinhua Army Marine Corps lost thousands of people. The 7th Brigade of the Army also lost hundreds of people. Such heavy losses made Major General Zhang Shun feel a little uncomfortable. However, the losses they caused to the British army were even greater. Conservatively estimated that the British army suffered a total loss of at least 12,000 people in yesterday's battle. The 10-to-1 battle loss rate is already very good. After all, the advantages of the Xinhua Army in weapons and equipment are no longer as obvious as before. It is inevitable that they will suffer greater casualties in the battle.

"Send the report on the damages of war to General Sun, and ask him to give us the next order." Brigadier General Zhang Shun said. Although the casualties were a bit serious, he finally won the battle. After the 7th Brigade also landed, the Xinhua Army had completely gained a foothold in Singapore. Next, it was time for the Xinhua Army to take the initiative to launch an attack. It was impossible for the British army to drive the Xinhua Army away.

"Yes, general!" After the messenger saluted, he quickly left and took the Clippers to the location of the main force of the 5th Fleet.

Outside Singapore, the remaining eight "Xia-class" cruisers of the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy were still firing on the British infantry positions. One after another, one after another exploded on the British positions, leaving huge craters on the ground. The British infantry were curled up in the trenches and silently endured the Xinhua Army's artillery. As long as the Xinhua Army's artillery shells did not fall on their heads, it was already God's blessing. The British fortifications were basically built in hasty. They thought the navy could defeat the Xinhua Navy, so they were not active in the construction of fortifications. Therefore, these defensive ministers built only after learning that the navy had failed. In a hurry, they could only build civil structure fortifications, and the strength of these fortifications could be imagined.

On the cruiser of the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy, Brigadier General Lu Haipeng, the commander of the fleet, and Major General Sun Hao, the Operations Minister of the General Staff, were observing the naval artillery. In order to save ammunition, the four 155mm main guns on the head and tail of the warship had stopped firing, and they only fired with the 105mm naval gun and 75mm naval gun on the side. For civil structure fortifications, 105mm naval gun and 75mm naval gun are enough.

"General Sun, after these days of artillery fire strikes, the British fortifications on the coast have almost been destroyed by us. When we need to land and fight, the navy will provide powerful firepower strikes, which should be able to ensure the successful landing of the infantry." Brigadier General Lu Haipeng said with a smile. For him, attacking such a land target is really boring, and he hopes to be freed sooner.

"General Lu, the following infantry brigades will arrive in the afternoon. At that time, a large-scale landing on Singapore will begin." Major General Sun Hao said. After the preliminary preparations, the obstacles to landing in Singapore have been cleared. After the subsequent five infantry brigades arrive, they will launch the final attack on Singapore. Major General Sun Hao is already very sure of this victory.

At this time, the messenger sent by the 1st Marine Brigade arrived and reported the battle to Major General Sun Hao.

Major General Sun Hao was very happy after seeing the defeat sent by Brigadier General Zhang Shun: "Haha, last night, the 1st Marine Brigade of the 1st Marine Corps won a victory, destroying at least tens of thousands of British troops. The 1st Marine Brigade of the 1st Marine Corps suffered losses of only more than a thousand people. The British wanted to attack, but stepped on a landmine, and the surprise attack turned into a strong attack, leaving them with corpses all over the ground."

"Those British guys have suffered a lot now. General Sun, why don't you send some troops to Changi to assist them in launching an attack from the east to the downtown area of ​​Singapore." Brigadier General Lu Haipeng suggested.

"Well! Send the 10th Brigade. The 11th Brigade and the five infantry brigades that followed, they are still preparing to land in the port area." Major General Sun Hao said. There is no special port in Changi, so it is difficult to afford the large army's combat. On the contrary, if Singapore's port area can be captured, everything will be much easier to solve. In addition, the large-scale landing of the New China Army in Changi will inevitably make the British army panic, and thus mobilize troops from other directions, which will undoubtedly create conditions for the landing of the port area.

After Major General Kaffit's failure, Governor Wenxian and Major General Burleyton were both panicked. The inability to drive the Xinhua Army into the sea means that the next step is that they will have to fight a tough battle with the Xinhua Army. Major General Kaffit not only did not defeat the Xinhua Army, but also suffered heavy losses, which greatly affected his position among the British army. If he could escape being sent to the military court, he would be lucky.

In order to defend Singapore, Major General Burleyton quickly dispatched troops from all over the country to return to the city and prepare to defend the city. He attacked the Xinhua Army through street fighting, thus achieving the goal of defending Singapore. Major General Burleyton's move happened to be satisfied with the Xinhua Army.

On the morning of July 22, the 1st Brigade, 7th Brigade and 10th Brigade of the Xinhua Army, a total of more than 10,000 people, under the cover of dozens of field artillery, launched an attack from Changi to the downtown area of ​​Singapore. Although the British army resisted, its resistance was very weak, and the Xinhua Army approached the downtown area of ​​Singapore.

In the afternoon of that day, the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy strengthened the artillery bombardment of Singapore port area. The fierce artillery fire almost plowed the British defensive positions. A large number of trenches were blown down, soldiers were killed, and the British army suffered heavy losses.

Under the cover of fierce artillery fire, the 11th Brigade and the 14th Brigade of the Xinhua Army took a transport ship and headed towards the port. The British artillery was almost destroyed in the battle a few days ago, and it was impossible to stop the Xinhua Army from landing.

After only a few rounds of shells, dozens of howitzers from the British 1st Division were suppressed by the guns of the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy. Although a transport ship was hit in the process of disappointed port, hundreds of officers and soldiers on the ship fell into the sea, it did not cause much damage. Most of them were rescued by the ships that arrived later.

The transport ship drove directly into the port and landed on the pier.

The soldiers of the Xinhua Army came down from the ship and launched an attack in the rain of bullets from the British army. At this time, the eight warships of the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy on the sea spared no effort to fire at the maximum rate of fire, creating conditions for the army's landing.

As more and more troops landed, the Xinhua Army formed a new port and began to advance towards the downtown area of ​​Singapore, driving the British army back to the downtown area. This effectively ensured the safety of the Xinhua Army's landing ground.

After the fierce battle on July 22, the Xinhua Army had already approached the downtown area of ​​Singapore from two directions. The two infantry brigades in the east and a marine brigade, and three infantry brigades landed in the port, with a total of more than 30,000 people. Although the British army had a total of more than 50,000 people in Singapore. However, after the Battle of Changi and the Battle of Xinhua Army Port Landing, the British army suffered heavy losses and were no more than the Xinhua Army in terms of combat effectiveness. In terms of combat effectiveness, the British army was even worse than the Xinhua Army. Even if they changed into the latest weapons, they still could not compete with the Xinhua Army. In addition, the continuous failures caused the British morale to be sluggish. Pessimism was circulated in the army, which greatly affected the British army's combat effectiveness.

The Governor of the British Straits Colony, Moon Xian, and the Army Commander Major General Burleyton, were very worried. They now understand that the so-called "Singapore's New China Army's heads were bloody in Singapore, which was simply their wishful thinking. The current battle has allowed them to see the gap with the New China Army. Obviously, the fall of Singapore has become inevitable.

On the morning of July 23, the Xinhua Army launched a tentative attack on the British army trapped in Singapore and successfully broke into the city. Although the British army was resisting, it was not fierce. However, at a critical moment, Major General Sun Hao, the commander of the Xinhua Army, issued an order to stop the attack.

This order, for nothing else, was mainly because there were too many Chinese in Singapore. After the war began, the British army was martial law in Singapore, and the Chinese in the city did not have time to escape. At the beginning of the battle, it caused considerable casualties to the innocent people in the city, which made the Xinhua Army a little afraid of being thrown into the arms.
