Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 308 Global Shock
Bai Xiongqi's political abilities are undeniable.

In just over half a day, by employing a strategy of attacking one faction and winning over another, he gained complete control of the Sing Tao government and got the entire Sing Tao system running again.

And after the group took control of the government agencies that controlled the mind.

Bai Xiongqi then began working on government operations, with the first priority being to appease the people and maintain stability in Sing Tao.

This was also a task given by Guan Shaoqing.

And just after Bai Xiongqi took full control of the operation of Xingdao's government agencies during the day.

into the night.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!—"

The Johor Strait.

The strait where Sing Tao and the Malay Peninsula meet.

Accompanied by the deafening sound of exploding shells and towering flames.

Guan Shaoqing's Guangdong Army also launched an attack on the Malay Peninsula.

At the start of the battle, more than a dozen warships of the Fifth Division of Guangdong Province lined up and launched a fierce attack on the port defenses of the Johor Strait in the Malay Peninsula, bombarding them with wave after wave of artillery fire.

At this moment, more than 50,000 local government troops from the Malay Peninsula have gathered at the ports along the Johor Strait. They have launched a counterattack against the attack of the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Eastern Navy, but unfortunately, they are far inferior to the Guangdong Eastern Army in terms of military equipment.

Despite the large number of troops in the local government forces on the Malay Peninsula, reaching 50,000, which is nearly five times the size of the Fifth Naval Division of Guangdong Province.

However, in terms of military equipment, the Guangdong Eastern Navy was equipped with a fleet of steel warships and cannons, while the local government forces on the Malay Peninsula had only a few decent cannons and no more than thirty mortars. With such military equipment, how could they possibly withstand the warships and cannons of the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Eastern Navy?

At the start of the battle, the government forces on the Malay Peninsula were immediately overwhelmed by the cannon fire of the Guangdong navy's warships and were unable to raise their heads.

"Boom! Bomb them to death!"

On the main ship of the battlefield.

The generals of the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Eastern Navy had also had a good time fighting. They hadn't had a chance to fight when they attacked Sing Tao before. They had fought off the entire First, Second, Third and Fourth Divisions.

Now it's finally the turn of their Fifth Division to make their move.

At this moment, the entire Fifth Division of the Guangdong Eastern Navy had only one feeling.

This feeling of direct firepower suppression makes the enemy completely indifferent.

It’s so cool!

We have never fought such a rich war.

The Fifth Division of the Guangdong Eastern Navy bombarded the area continuously for half an hour.

It stopped after half an hour.

Because at this time, the Malay Peninsula government forces that were originally defending the Johor Strait port on the Malay Peninsula had been forced back by strong firepower.

This gave the 5th Division of the Army in eastern Guangdong the opportunity to land.

Without hesitation, the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army, seeing the Malay Peninsula government forces forced back, landed directly under the command of the brothers Wu Chenglong and Wu Chenghu.

Shortly after the 5th Division of the Guangdong Army landed, it clashed again with the local government forces of the Malay Peninsula. Although the Malay Peninsula government forces had been repelled by the fierce artillery fire of the 5th Division of the Guangdong Navy, they did not flee but retreated to defend themselves, thinking that they only needed to get out of the attack range of the Guangdong Navy warships. As long as the 5th Division of the Guangdong Navy landed, without warships and cannons, they could definitely win with their numbers.

It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When the 100 field guns of the 5th Division of the Guangdong Army began to fire simultaneously, the morale of the Malay Peninsula government forces was completely shattered.

In particular, the field artillery has a range of up to five kilometers and is very powerful, which makes it difficult for the Malay Peninsula government forces to fight.

At this moment, the Malay Peninsula government forces are facing the Guangdong army, much like the Qing Dynasty fighting against foreign powers in the past. The two sides' military equipment and weapons are simply not on the same level.

But this is understandable.

After all, if the Malay Peninsula government forces were well-equipped, how could Dai Ying have been able to colonize and rule the area?

Under the intense artillery fire of the field artillery regiment, the Malay Peninsula government forces quickly surrendered completely.

The Fifth Division of the Army in Eastern Guangdong also launched a general offensive.

That night.

The Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army successfully landed on the Malay Peninsula and advanced dozens of miles northward overnight.

The local government forces on the Malay Peninsula suffered a complete rout, with over 30,000 of the 50,000 troops killed or wounded, leaving only nearly 20,000 who managed to escape. When the news reached Dai Ying's military base in Kuala Lumpur, the entire Dai Ying high command in Malaysia was thrown into chaos. They never expected that the 50,000 Malay Peninsula government troops would be defeated overnight, just like the previous situation with Sing Tao Daily.

Is the Guangdong army led by Guan Shaoqing really that powerful?!

Immediately, the British ambassador to Malaysia quickly ordered the local government of Peninsular Malaysia to dispatch 100,000 troops to fight against the Guangdong army. They didn't care whether the local government of Peninsular Malaysia had that many troops or not; all they cared about was the result. If the local government of Peninsular Malaysia couldn't do it, they would put pressure on them.

At the same time, the British ambassador to Malaysia also quickly reported the occupation to the British central government in Malaysia and requested support.

And that's when.

"Di-"

"Di-"

"Di-"

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded from outside the base.

Immediately afterwards, a communications officer rushed in to report.

"General, something bad has happened! The patrol ship has spotted a large number of Guangdong naval warships twenty miles ahead, which are heading towards the base."

These words instantly caused the expressions of the British naval high-ranking officers present to change drastically.

"Fuck, wasn't the Guangdong Navy still in the Johor Strait last night? How come they're here?"

"It should be another Guangdong East Navy. The Guangdong East Navy in the Johor Strait, besides fighting in the Johor Strait, should also be trying to attract our attention to provide cover for this suddenly appearing Guangdong East Navy."

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck, you cunning Chinese."

"."

boom! boom! boom! ——

soon.

Accompanied by deafening artillery fire.

On the sea off the Dai Ying Naval Base in Kuala Lumpur, the First and Second Divisions of the Guangdong Eastern Navy and the Dai Ying Navy stationed in Malaysia engaged in a major battle.

The battle was extremely fierce, lasting for nearly half a day.

It must be said that with prior preparations for direct combat, the fighting power of the British Navy is beyond doubt, and it truly deserves the title of the world's number one navy.

Even with a nearly double advantage in the number of warships, the First and Second Divisions of the Guangdong Eastern Navy fought for almost half a day and suffered damage to nearly half of their warships before finally defeating the British Navy. The number of soldiers killed or wounded also exceeded five thousand.

However, although the casualties of the First and Second Divisions of the Guangdong Eastern Navy were not light, Dai Yingjin suffered even worse losses. Almost all of the base's warships were destroyed, and more than half of the soldiers were killed or wounded.

Following that, the First and Second Divisions of the Guangdong Eastern Navy also successfully captured the entire British naval base in Kuala Lumpur.

And with the fall of the British naval base in Kuala Lumpur.

Dai Ying's entire military force in Singapore and the Malay Peninsula was completely defeated by the Guangdong army.

All that remains to be dealt with are the local government forces in Peninsular Malaysia who are resisting.

However, even Dai Ying's army has been completely wiped out, so there's no need to say more about the remaining local government forces on the Malay Peninsula.

After capturing the British naval base in Kuala Lumpur, the First and Second Divisions of the Guangdong Eastern Navy, except for a portion that remained to take over the base, began to advance into the interior of the Malay Peninsula.

Meanwhile, the Third and Fourth Divisions of the Guangdong Eastern Navy also successfully landed in Terengganu, Malay Peninsula.

The Fifth Division of the Army in Eastern Guangdong continued its northward advance from the direction of Sing Tao towards the inland areas of the Meilai Peninsula.

Thus, the three forces advanced in eastern Guangdong.

A week later.

The entire Malay Peninsula was completely captured and controlled by the Guangdong army. The original Da Ying army and the local government army on the Malay Peninsula were all wiped out or captured. There was no longer a single rebel army on the surface.

At this point, the Guangdong army also stopped its offensive, because if it did not stop, it would have to advance from the Malay Peninsula into the Thai-Myanmar border.

Meanwhile, news of Guan Shaoqing leading the Guangdong army to capture Sing Tao and the Mei Lai Peninsula spread throughout the world, causing several global shocks.

No one expected that while the fighting was raging in Europe, such a major event would also occur in the Asia-Pacific region: Guan Shaoqing actually led a large army to conquer Singapore and the Malay Peninsula.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Dai Ying, a devastating loss, because Sing Tao and the Malay Peninsula were extremely important strategic locations in the East for Dai Ying, and now they were gone, along with the loss of more than 20,000 naval personnel.
