Chapter 153 The tacit understanding between brothers
Ouyang Yun is going to be a villain, and the student army has become an invading army.
The deputy brigade commander who was let go from the Tailong Military Camp conveyed the words of "Guo Da" to the top brass of the Thai army, which immediately caused an uproar. The Thais learned a little later than the Japanese that Ouyang Yun was attacked by the Yamato Spirit and his life and death were unknown. A moment ago They were still feeling happy, and then the news of the capture of the Tailong Army Camp came back. The Thais originally thought that the Xuebing Army had lost its backbone, and it was their chance to regain the occupied territories such as Sakae Prefecture, but now they are stupid. ,
Ouyang Yun kept his promise and immediately sent out infantry to attack the villages around the Tailong military camp and forcibly expel the Tai people. Naturally, the Tai people could not willingly leave their homeland. So something happened that made Guo Da feel uneasy. His subordinates were trying to expel the Tai people. During the process, he encountered more than a dozen waves of confrontations. The students were armed to the teeth, so it was naturally impossible for them to suffer losses in the confrontation. However, because about two hundred Thai civilians died in one fell swoop, his reputation as the "Devil General" was firmly established. ,
The Prime Minister of the Thai Cabinet, Phivin Khensong, and Field Marshal Sarit first received the news that the cadet army was massacring civilians, and then received the report from the deputy brigade commander. A moment ago, the two of them were still imagining that they could lead the cadet army without a leader. Under such circumstances, they would launch a counterattack to seize the opportunity to regain the lost ground such as Shajiao. The next moment they heard the news, the psychological gap was like falling from the sky to the ground suddenly. They smelled a trace of blood in the moist air. While convening senior counselors to discuss countermeasures, they asked Yamamoto and Masuda for help. Just when they were feeling anxious, new bad news came. Trat Province, fifty kilometers southeast of Chanthaburi Province, was attacked by the First Division of the Second Corps of the Cadet Expeditionary Force. It also fell. This time, the situation of the Thai army was even worse. A brigade of nearly 4,000 defenders only managed to escape with more than 200 people.
Different from all the infantry battles of Guo Dabu, this battle personally commanded by Chu Tiange was a brand new combat mode for the Thai army. The tanks and armored vehicles opened the way in the front, followed by numerous vehicle-mounted infantry, and in the middle were They are nearly 150 self-propelled howitzers with a caliber of 150 mm. What do the Thai troops in a brigade have? There are only four tanks provided by Japan and nearly 20 CV attack vehicles. The artillery is basically No, oh, there are dozens of mortars, but in front of the heavy artillery of the Xuebing Army, they are no different from children's toys.
Ouyang Yun first captured the Tailong military camp and then issued harsh words about "killing without mercy". Chu Tiange did it even more brilliantly. When he saw the defender's stronghold, he launched a bombardment. There were no rules during the march. Tanks and chariots all came out of the vast fields. Rushing straight over, before launching an attack on that brigade of Thai troops, he even ordered half an hour of artillery preparations. In the end, the town where the Thai troops were defending was turned into ruins. In such a fierce attack, Under the artillery fire, the Thai troops of that brigade were able to escape more than 200 people in the end. This was considered a great blessing.
As expected of Ouyang Yun's sworn brother, just when everyone else believed that Ouyang Yun was seriously injured, he penetrated the mystery through keen observation, and expressed his anger appropriately with great tacit understanding. For the troops directly under the Second Army, the first and second guerrilla divisions, he only left one regiment each in Dishi and Kampong Dela. He brought out all the other troops and marched in a mechanized manner, which ensured the advancement of the troops. Speed, Kansong and Salit had only received the news that Trat Province had been captured three hours ago, and then they received a call for help from the commander of the Taimai garrison in the provincial capital of Chanthaburi Province. There were no less than 50,000 Chinese troops. Surrounding Tamai, the Japanese army and a brigade were trapped in a tight siege, and there was a danger of the entire army being destroyed at any time.
Hemai is only two hundred kilometers away from Bangkok, and with the advancing speed of the Chutian Song Department, it can be reached in eight hours at most. At this time, Kansong and Salit finally realized that they had become the scapegoats of the Japanese. Kansong called again. Yamamoto asked him to order Masuda to provide immediate support. At the same time, he called Chongqing to explain Thailand's position to Chiang Kai-shek. He stated that Thailand had no intention of embarrassing China. They had temporarily established a military alliance with Japan just to expel Western bandits and help Asia. independence of colonized countries,
Songkan was not aware of the subtle relationship between the Chongqing government and the Xuebing Army. He was so ill that he sought medical treatment, hoping that Chiang Kai-shek would be able to suppress the Xuebing Army. However, he did not know, not to mention whether Chiang Kai-shek had the ability to control the Xuebing Army. , even if he has this ability, he will definitely not go against the wishes of the officers and soldiers of the student army at this time. Instead, he will seize this opportunity to avenge Ouyang Yun to win people's hearts.
What was Chiang Kai-shek's real reaction? When Chen Lifu presented Kansong's telegram to Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek was surprised and confused at first, then he slapped the table and cursed: "Mother Xipi, Siamese guy, you are going to kill me." What did someone mistake for a fire extinguisher? Ignore him." After a while, he didn't know what he thought of, and he said to Chen Lifu: "Has Dai Li come back yet?"
"not yet."
"Call him and ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly as soon as possible. If the matter is true, this will be a great opportunity to change the anti-Japanese situation."
Chen Lifu understood and immediately agreed. Before leaving, he carefully asked: "President, what about Thailand?"
Lao Jiang frowned slightly, thought for a while and said: "Reply the interrogation message and ask them why they want to harm the deputy commander-in-chief of our expeditionary force together with the Japanese. The words must be harsher, do you understand?"
"Understand the humble position."
Not to mention how the Chongqing government called Thailand to ask questions about Kanson, its eyes are still on the Thai-Cambodian front.
Just when a fierce battle broke out in Tamai, Chu Tiange rushed to the Tailong military camp with a regiment of guards and asked to see Deputy Commander Guo Da by name.
At this time, Guo Da was Ouyang Yun. Liu Kui couldn't figure out Tiange's purpose, and he didn't dare to guess the commander-in-chief's intentions. When Chu Tiange was stopped by Hu Yong, he quickly reported to Ouyang Yun, "Tiange is here." , let him come in." Ouyang Yundao said, then put down the red and green pencils in his hands and said to Guo Da: "Old Guo, I said your acting skills are not good, but you don't believe it, look, Tian Ge comes to the door. Already."
Guo Da still couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, so he took off his hat and scratched his head and said, "But I did everything you said."
"That's the problem." Ouyang Yun said and turned around, and saw Chu Tiange in military uniform.
As soon as Master Guo appeared in Chanthaburi, Chu Tiange guessed that his eldest brother might go with the army. Later, he heard rumors about "killing without mercy" and became more convinced of this idea. Although it was already speculated that he was not seriously injured, But I didn't realize that I was not at ease after all, so I rushed over as soon as possible. When I saw that Ouyang Yun only had two circles of gauze wrapped around his head, his hanging mental arithmetic completely fell back into his stomach, and he came over and paid his respects. With a military salute, he said in a somewhat complaining tone: "Brother, you can do it this time."
Ouyang Yun understood what he meant, pulled out a chair for him to sit on, and said: "My hometown has Lao Li, Mr. Ji, and Mr. Jiang in charge. I'm not worried at all. Opportunities are rare. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, how can you live up to those who died tragically?" Brother, Tiange, you have heard the cruel words I said, please tell me what we can do next to solve the problem once and for all."
Chu Tiange glanced at the map in front of him and saw two red lines marked between Tailong Military Camp and Bangkok. He pondered for more than ten seconds and then said: "I don't agree with the indiscriminate killing of civilians. In that case, what will we do with the Japanese army?" Hey, brother, leave this matter to me. I guarantee that when those Thais see us, they will be like seeing a savage beast. Since they have already attacked, it would be uneconomical not to completely beat the Thais, regardless of whether they can defeat them or not. , Bangkok must fight, but this brings up a problem. According to the information we have, the Japanese army has stationed a total of three divisions in Thailand. They will definitely help the Thais come forward. If it takes longer, , I estimate that Yamamoto will transfer the remaining three aircraft carriers of the Western Expedition Fleet. If this happens, even if we can finally achieve the established strategy, the losses will definitely be considerable. I mean sending a top force. They marched straight to the gates of Bangkok. Other ministries cooperated with this elite soldier to carry out a mobile attack and completely disrupted the area east of Bangkok. Anyway, it was to avenge you. It is understandable that the students are extremely emotional. Killing civilians is not an option. But burn down the house and destroy the farm office."
Chu Tiange had a comprehensive plan before he sent out troops, and the following paragraph was added temporarily.
"It's not okay to kill civilians, but let's burn down the house and destroy the field headquarters." Chu Tiange said these words very calmly, as if he waved his hand and ordered the troops to move forward. Ouyang Yun showed a smile in his eyes, , this was his implementation plan of "killing without mercy"; Guo Da took a breath of cold air and thought to himself: I really can't see that Commander Chu, who usually looks harmless, turns out to be so vicious. Without their houses and fields, those Thai people are afraid that their lives will be worse than death. Not only that, if these people all gather in Bangkok, it will be the biggest factor of instability, and they are so vicious.
"This strategy is feasible, Tian Ge, since you are here, then this 'revenge operation' will be commanded by you. As the commander of the First Army, you can call Huang Haifu and Ang Bos and ask them to send a French military division. Come, also, send a telegram to Guo Kui and ask him to expand the activity area of the jungle special operations brigade. I hope to end this battle before midsummer comes."
"Yes, brother, where are the second and third mountain divisions?"
"One division stays behind in Shajiao, and the other division waits for an opportunity to attack. If you advance to Bangkok, the Japanese and Thais will try their best to stop it. This is their opportunity to fish in troubled waters. It is a battle of spirits anyway, and each department can act alone. Tong, um, just enough to confuse the little devil."
