(10/12/1941)


The bombs had stopped and people were crying on the streets some looked pityful just on the streets> Every corner you look youm will see that every building that was standing two days ago had shown its weakness.There were holes on the roads ,pipes broken and thrashed furniture all around.


Churchill publicly announced Prince Of Wales and Repulse were being sent to Singapore to deter the Japanese. In response, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto sent 36 Mitsubishi G4M bombers to reinforce the existing Mitsubishi G3M-equipped Kanoya Air Group and Genzan Air Group, whose pilots began training for an attack on the two capital ships.[15] Genzan Air Group was commanded by Lt Cdr Niichi Nakanishi, Kanoya Air Group by Lt Cdr Shichizo Miyauchi and Mihoro Air Group by Lt Hachiro Shoji.[16]Then the british ships Repulse and Prince Of Wales were attacked by the japanese by surprise and lost as they did not have air support.
