Chapter one hundred and sixty-ninth comprehensive attack
The command system of the Thai army is quite chaotic. The biggest drawback caused by this is that Field Marshal Sarit and Prime Minister Phiphon Khensong often issue separate orders, which causes the commanders below to be at a loss.
When Charlie and his men began to launch a counterattack, Sarit had just learned from Kansong that Lanluga was storing a large amount of arms supported by the Japanese. The old man was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.
A quarter of an hour later, he was urgently adjusting his strategy and wanted to deploy two more divisions to besiege Lanluga. Suddenly, an urgent report came from the Lanluga frontline headquarters, saying that the unit had suffered an unprecedentedly violent counterattack by the British. Now that the organization has been disrupted, General Tang has to retreat to Bangkok in order to preserve his strength. He is angrily calling the commander of the unit a idiot. Lieutenant General Socha, the commander of the Thai army defending Bernanikong, called again. He reported that the two divisions of Thai troops stationed there were attacked by heavy artillery fire from the Xuebing Army. The defensive positions built by more than 10,000 Thai soldiers and 50,000 civilians in three days of hard work were destroyed. He asked him to report to the police immediately. Lieutenant General Masuda, commander of the Japanese First Army in Chachoengsao, asked for help and asked the Japanese army to attack the Xuebing Army from the side to relieve the frontal pressure on his troops.
Chu Tiange carried out the "Three Lights Policy" to the end, so it advanced slowly, which paralyzed the top brass of the Thai army and the Japanese army. The Red Fox Squadron and the Tianwei Squadron only had twelve people in total, and their goals were so small that the Thai and Japanese troops The higher-ups were not aware of it, and did not implicate the actions of the British prisoners of war with the Xuebing Army. They did not expect that the Xuebing Army had decided to rescue the British prisoners of war, and the focus of the operation had changed.
Chu Tiange was really bold. He gathered the four self-propelled artillery regiments under his command and let them conduct a sneak attack on the Bernani Thai Army position without any tank troops or infantry. During the day, Thai and Japanese reconnaissance planes When we were there, we also saw tanks of the Chu Tiange Division wreaking havoc in the rice fields. Who would have been wary of this? The self-propelled artillery of the four regiments fired all the shells they carried in a quarter of an hour, not to mention the so-called defense of the Thais. The positions are all made of wood and earth structures, and even concrete structures cannot withstand such a density of heavy artillery bombardment. Lieutenant General Socha did not dare to guess that the Xuebing Army only dispatched artillery, and thought that the Xuebing Army was preparing artillery fire before a large-scale attack. , how can we not panic,
After receiving Socha's call for help, Salit lost his temper at all. The old Thai man thought about it and canceled his plan to continue to increase troops in Lanluga. He ordered the two divisions to instead reinforce Bernanikong, and at the same time called for reinforcements. Tian Fuchuan asked him to send a sufficient number of troops to attack Bernani Kong's student army from the side no matter what, to help them hold on to the last line of defense in front of the capital Bangkok.
Sarit didn't know that just when he was feeling anxious, Masuda's situation was not much better than his. After two days of silence, the Baojun Department and the Bian Jiansheng Department finally began to avenge the Commander-in-Chief. Each sent a brigade, one went west to attack Jinhu in Prachinburi, and the other launched a tentative attack on the Japanese outpost in Chachoengsao. The Japanese army had a division in Prachinburi and a brigade in Chachoengsao. Masuda didn't take this matter to heart, but the reason why he felt uneasy was because Guo Dabu, who once held a large-scale revenge banner for the commander-in-chief at Tailong Military Camp, suddenly disappeared.
When Major General Haneda Haru presented Sarit's request for help message, the old Japanese glanced at it and threw it away. He stared at the battle map on the wall and said: "We must not act rashly until we find the Chinese army that captured Tailong Camp. , I very much doubt that the Chinese people must have set some kind of trap waiting for us. This Chinese army was the first to raise the banner of revenge for Ouyang Yun, and its madness is definitely no less than that of the Chinese army raging in the southeast. He suddenly thought of something, looked up at Haneda and exclaimed: "Haneda-kun, is it possible that the reason why the British prisoners of war successfully rioted was because of the help of Chinese people?"
Hanedaichi thought that this was a possibility and said: "It is entirely possible. We don't know the British's combat power. To be honest, I don't think they can withstand the suppression of two thousand elite imperial troops with bare hands. , could it be said that a large-scale Chinese army broke through our blockade and quietly sneaked into the Bangkok area."
Masuda slammed the table and said: "Why is this not possible? The Thai army is not our Imperial Japanese Army. Although they have a large number of people, their defense layout is not deep at all. With the ability of the military, they have to do this It's not difficult at all. Don't forget, they have helicopters that can take off and land vertically. It's very simple to carry hundreds of people through our blockade. But as long as we break through our blockade, it's like fish into the sea. How can those idiots in Thailand guard against them?"
"Sir, something is very wrong."
"Haneda-kun, what did you find?"
"I remembered one thing. The arms we support the Thais are stored in Lanluga. Based on the nature of the Thais, they should not have fully distributed them. The British have obviously obtained this batch of arms, plus there are cadets. Military assistance, Anda Brigade,,."
"Ba Ge, the Thais are really a bunch of pigs. Haneda-kun, please call the commander of the Anda Brigade immediately and ask him to postpone the attack on Ranluga until we figure out the specific situation."
"Hai."
When Major General Adachi received the telegram personally prepared by Haneda to postpone the attack, he was only ten kilometers away from Ranluga. At this time, the Thais were being chased and defeated by the British led by Charlie. Hearing the sound of gunfire in the distance, he was about to order the troops to speed up, but when he received this telegram, he was confused at the time. The little Japs first ordered the troops to be on guard and rest, and then left surrounded by more than a dozen Japs. Arriving at the front line of the troops, he listened carefully to the gunshots coming from the front. After listening for a few minutes, he said with a gloomy face to the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Kazuki Hanazuka: "Obviously, the British are fighting back with the weapons we support the Thais. Thai people, this is really a huge irony.”
Hanazuka shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sir, the Thais are not qualified allies at all. I really can't understand why Mr. Yamamoto values them so much."
"The need of justice. If the empire wants to develop in Southeast Asia, it must cherish its feathers."
"Then let's..."
"The headquarters said that there may be a large number of cadet soldiers involved in the camp hijacking of British prisoners of war. Let's wait, ah." Before Anda could finish his words, suddenly a ball of fire exploded in the night in the distance. , and then a gunshot rang out. He was shot in the right chest and immediately screamed and fell into Huazhong's arms.
Huazhong immediately panicked. He first shouted "Your Excellency" and then ordered: "Quickly, the commander of the protection brigade, Shan Mu, leads the gendarmerie to catch up."
"Hai." Shanmu responded, leading hundreds of military policemen and running towards the place where the gunfire was lit. Behind him, the little devils seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. More than a thousand people took action and soon defeated Anda. Waiting for people from three floors inside and three floors outside to form a tight circle.
