Chapter 1633 Overture of the Great Offensive

Chapter 1633 Prelude to the Grand Offensive

At the moment An Yi's order was issued, the fifteen artillery regiments deployed behind Shisu Fengcheng concentrated more than 500 120mm caliber howitzers, more than 200 150mm howitzers, and 200 eight-barreled 150mm rocket launchers, and fired at those facing them.

The enemy launched a fierce artillery bombardment.

As the first bomb exploded with a piercing scream among the attacking Siamese soldiers, almost in just a short moment, the Siamese army could see everything from the top of the charging arrow to the starting position in the rear.

All places have turned into chilling steel "jungles".

This jungle is entirely composed of "shrubs" that are several meters high or more than ten meters high. The thick waves of smoke, fire, dust and debris set off by bombs are overwhelming, making people feel like they are in the end of the world.

The huge cannonballs, with their powerful power, smashed large craters several meters deep on the ground. Huge rocks, hardened soil, and tree branches as thick as a bowl were blown into the sky, and they were shooting.

The shrapnel was chopped into pieces, fell like rain, and then exploded by the next shell.

In this hell of smoke and fire, countless Siamese soldiers were thrown into the air by the power of the explosion in the light of lightning and fire, and were torn into pieces. Their limbs and arms were mixed with their internal organs and lungs, and the air

The atmosphere was filled with smoke and blood. And those who were lucky enough to escape

The Siamese soldiers who had been tortured were crawling in the bomb craters one or two meters deep, shivering. It was the first time for most of them to experience such a high-intensity shelling, and blood oozed from their ears and noses.

, his face shook uncontrollably, looking ferocious and terrifying.

Such high-intensity shelling lasted for half an hour. When the sound of the gunfire gradually subsided, what followed was the sound of the transmission of the tank chain that was enough to make the earth tremble.

Siam and Nam Hua meet on the southeastern coast. The Chanthaburi Mountains and Banta Mountains belonging to the Great Momei Mountains are an extension of the mountain. Together with the Biandan Mountains to the north and the Cardamom Mountains to the south, they form the natural dividing line between the two countries. Siam

The valley between Loppachen Province and Sisophon County, Nam Hua

, it has been a traffic artery connecting the two places since ancient times. This road is long and narrow, with endless jungles on both sides. Palm trees, pine trees, cypress trees, grapefruit trees, and ebony trees are densely covered. This road is made of hard and smooth soil.

The mountainous terrain is very conducive to mechanized corps operations.

The tanks, armored vehicles and infantry mixed troops of the Anjia Army launched a group charge in a dark and dense manner. Looking eastward from the Siamese position, everywhere you could see were Anjia Army pouring in like a tide. The scene was mind-boggling.

Just looking at it makes my legs feel weak.

This is definitely not an exaggeration. In order to be able to knock off Siam’s claws extending to Nanhua in one fell swoop, occupy the crucial valley from Poipet to Saxi, and implement the follow-up battle plan, Gu Changfeng only limited the area in front of Si Soufeng.

In the five-kilometer-wide narrow corridor, more than 400 tanks and a similar number of armored fighting vehicles were arranged for assault.

Most of these tanks were Wolf and Leopard I tanks, and there were also some Leopard II tanks. They lined up in seemingly loose formations, running back and forth towards the Siamese army's position that was originally the attacking side. The tanks in front

Once caught by a Siamese mine or

The anti-tank gun was destroyed, and the tanks behind it immediately pushed up, pushed the destroyed tank, and continued to move forward. The armored vehicle, with its 37mm anti-tank gun and a Zhongzhen Type 5 general-purpose machine gun, followed closely behind the tank.

All fish that slipped through the net were shot and killed on the spot.

And among the tanks and armored vehicles, the performance of the officers and soldiers holding automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns and rocket launchers was even more shocking. Gu Changfeng's department was originally a priority unit, and 80% of the team

All

They are veterans of the Anjia Army. They have experienced hundreds of battles and sacrificed their lives. The intensive firepower blocking the Siamese defense line and the raging fires ignited at the front of the position could not stop the charge of the Anjia Army infantry at all. The Siamese's

The battle lines were broken one after another.

The Siamese people seem to have encountered the most terrifying nightmare in the world. From last night to now, although they have paid huge casualties, all the battles have been within the understandable range. However, the current battle has broken away from Siam as early as possible.

The expectations of military officers.

The large-caliber howitzers equipped by the Anjia Army have a range of up to ten kilometers. However, the Siamese army, which was poorly prepared for a large-scale artillery bombardment by the Anjia Army, had nearly half of its troops concentrated within the range of the cannons, raining down like a hail of bullets.

Come down and be blown to pieces

The inescapable Siamese flew around and lost at least half of their troops. Coupled with the sudden appearance of tanks and armored groups, the 37-gun provided by the Japanese army had no lethality against the Leopard I and Leopard II tanks. This made it even more

This heightened the panic among the Siamese.

A small number of Japanese instructors in the Siamese army organized anti-aircraft artillery and leveled each anti-aircraft gun for horizontal fire. The Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft gun was a great threat to the Wolf and Leopard I tanks, but it was a great threat to the Leopard II which once again increased the armor thickness.

The tank seemed a little helpless.

As the tanks and armored fighting vehicles of the Anjia Army advanced hand in hand, coaxial machine guns, directional machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns formed a dense rain of bullets, which were fired at the frantically fleeing Siamese army like water being splashed.

The dense barrage fired by tanks and armored vehicles set off bursts of red mist among the Siamese soldiers. Explosions sounded one after another. The Siamese soldiers were torn apart by grenades one after another, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. When the smoke cleared, Siamese soldiers

The Luo people's intestines, internal organs, and minced meat were all covered in the chariot.

...

In Bangkok, due to the speeches given by government officials in the morning, the national sentiment of the Siamese people was completely aroused.

Two to three hundred thousand Siamese people were walking majestically on the wide and flat streets. Among them, those walking in front of the procession held banners high and shouted slogans to celebrate the Siamese army's victory in the war against South China.

They vowed to use the blood of their enemies to wash away Siam's century-old humiliation. It seemed that after these people shouted like this, Siam's international status suddenly increased and it immediately became the overlord of Indochina.

The Siamese people following the parade had very excited expressions on their faces. These people were all thugs carefully recruited by the Siamese left-wing political parties. They had carefully planned beforehand. Some of them carried wood-cutting knives with a cold light in their hands.

Others held cane knives, others held harpoons, more held long wooden sticks with sharp ends in their hands, and a few held rifles or pistols obtained from unknown sources.

The parade became more and more excited, and some people began to rush out of the queue, carrying machetes and chasing the onlookers with obvious Chinese features on the roadside. When they saw the shops with signboards written in Chinese characters, some of them had white cloth strips wrapped around their heads.

The young people swarmed forward, showing an impassioned look, shouting slogans and chasing down the Chinese shop owners and employees, while burning the shop with the kerosene they stole.

The Chinese in Bangkok are mainly concentrated in the Chinese area east of the Chao Phraya River.

Since the military junta took control of Siam's military and political power in 1932, the parliament passed the "Delimitation of Areas Prohibiting Foreign Residence Act". Originally, the Chinese were distributed throughout Bangkok and engaged in industry and commerce. However, as the junta used the army to forcibly relocate,

Up to now, most of the more than 100,000 overseas Chinese in Bangkok have been driven to live around the Golden Buddha Temple, and a Chinese district was soon formed here.

There were more and more people, and hundreds of thousands of Siamese mobs were about to rush into the Chinese District. When they were about to rush into the Chinese District, a burst of gunfire rang out, and the crowd that was originally rushing forward paused.

At the street entrance, a limousine built with stalls, carriages, furniture and grain bags

Behind the chaotic defense line, densely packed young and middle-aged men dressed in black and holding firearms were distributed in bunkers, roofs, wall bases, and windows on the street. They watched the surging crowd with vigilance. A large number of rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns were pointed at the endless sight.

mob.

"Stern warning, anyone who enters China without permission will be killed without mercy!" A man in black, holding an automatic rifle, said murderously into the loudspeaker.

These men in black were all members of the Hong Hsing Society. They had been notified long ago to guard against the Siamese taking advantage of the rising national sentiment to attack the Chinese. When these Siamese came out of the square in front of the Grand Palace, they walked all the way.

On the way to the Chinese district in an organized way, some members rushed to report letters

The Bangkok branch of Hongxing Society had an action plan in advance. After hearing the warning, it immediately took action and quickly piled up furniture, carriages, and grain bags at the street entrance to form a street blockade.

He took out the smuggled rifles, machine guns, mortars and other weapons into the house and tightly defended it.

Facing the dark dense forest of gun muzzles, the mob suddenly calmed down and looked at each other, and the situation suddenly became deadlocked.

In a Chinese school near Bangkok Christ Hospital, three kilometers away from the Chinese district, the teacher jumped down from the podium and grabbed the man in black who broke into the classroom panting. He knew at a glance that he was a bad guy from Hongxing Society.

The ruffian asked in a bad tone:

"This is the place where saints teach, and it's class time. What are you doing here?"

"Oh no, the Siamese people have gathered and are attacking the Chinese area! It is expected that the riots will spread here soon, everyone should hurry up and evacuate..." The Hongxing Club member who rushed all the way said

He was used to being misunderstood, so he didn't feel dissatisfied and said while breathing heavily.

The reason why I rushed to the school to report the news was to let the students in the school quickly hide in the tunnel. Whenever a riot occurs, the Chinese schools that teach Chinese studies are the first to be affected and are the first to be affected. With the military group

After coming to power, there are now only fifty-two Chinese schools in Siam out of hundreds, among which the number in Bangkok has been reduced from sixty-two to eight. Naturally, it has become a thorn in the flesh of the Siamese people.

In the past few years, with the connivance of the military government, the Siamese often launched anti-Chinese riots, which had already made the Chinese living in Bangkok develop the habit of being vigilant at all times. Chinese schools usually have tunnels to prevent

During the anti-Chinese riots, the mob harmed students in the school.

When the teacher heard the sporadic gunshots coming from outside the classroom, his heart tightened and he quickly organized the students to evacuate from the tunnel without caring about the dignity of the teacher.

Not long after more than 400 teachers and students in the school hid in the underground passage, the school door was broken open. Countless young Siamese people with white headscarves on their heads rushed into the school building. When they found that no one was there, they began to smash the school building. They were furious.

Simply set a fire, and the school building was immediately surrounded by blazing flames.

Almost at the same time, the other seven Chinese schools were also set on fire and black smoke billowed out everywhere in Bangkok.

The once peaceful Bangkok, a city bathed in Buddha's light, has been shrouded in filth. The streets are full of Siamese youths carrying machetes, and buildings with Chinese, Islamic, Buddhist and European styles are everywhere.

, changed in color by the black smoke that kept coming out, groups of Siamese youths on the street excitedly carried the heads of Chinese or Europeans, and howled loudly with excitement. Those heads,

Still dripping blood.

Outside St. Dominic's Church in a white residential area in eastern Bangkok, some white men and a small number of soldiers from Britain, France and the United States, under the command of a British naval officer, fought back desperately. The screams of women and children continued to be heard in the church.

cry.

Outside the church, Siamese youths carrying machetes, sugar cane knives, and sticks kept trying to fight their way in from around the church, but with flesh and blood in front of bullets, any efforts were in vain. The angry Siamese youths continued

The people were screaming, cursing, and clamoring for foreigners to leave the land of Siam.

Later, the Siamese brought two native cannons from nowhere and fired them hard at the church. A corner of the wall of St. Dominic's Church collapsed, and several white soldiers who were hiding there and shooting fell into a pool of blood.

In the chaos, the Siamese rushed over, and bloody hand-to-hand combat began. The absolute superiority in numbers caused the white people's carefully organized defense line to collapse.

Soon, all the white men were killed. The Siamese natives looked at the panicked white women, their eyes glowing green, howling and pounced on them.

"No - please, I can give you money and you let me and my daughter go, okay?"

A woman in luxurious clothes begged bitterly. As she breathed a little excitedly, the huge and bursting breasts on her chest were radiating with dazzling brilliance. Unfortunately, she was not in a magnificent banquet hall at this time.

In the church that was captured by thousands of Siamese thugs, she was greeted by the wild laughter of the Siamese people, the sound of cloth being torn, and the painful screams of the women as they struggled.

Jesus, weeping blood on the cross, witnessed the evil being performed in the church, but it is obvious that God is also powerless in the face of such atrocities.

Seeing the once bossy Caucasian woman naked, wailing and moaning like a sow, many Siamese people got mad after radiating all their energy, wielding machetes, and chopped off the once-symbols one by one.

The beautiful head, showing identity and status, was cut off, held in the hand, and showed off everywhere, attracting more imitators. For a time, the church was covered with a thick layer of blood spurting from the headless body.

No one noticed that behind the statue of Jesus, the lens of a camera was emitting a faint light, faithfully recording everything at the scene.

At the intersection of the Chinese district, members of the Hongxing Society and overseas Chinese, leaning behind barricades built with carriages, furniture, and grain bags, looked at the streets in the distance with some astonishment. Those who were waving their hands excitedly like chicken blood

The Siamese who were chasing white people with knives - the Siamese, who have always been peaceful and cowardly, would actually hunt down Europeans, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

From time to time, some white people covered in blood fled into the Chinese area with their families. Just like every time there were anti-Chinese riots among the indigenous people in Southeast Asia in the past hundreds of years, there were always some Chinese people who did not hesitate to spend their property to escape into the white area in order to save their families' lives.

The houses of ethnic groups are the same. However, compared with those white people who took advantage of the situation and robbed them, these white people who fled into China did not suffer any extortion.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

James, a blond and blue-eyed reporter in Bangkok for The Times, kept saying thank you to the Chinese who bandaged his daughter's wounds. His gratitude at this time came from the bottom of his heart. He knew before that that in British Burma,

Riots in Malaya

In China, many compatriots relied on the Chinese District to avoid disasters. I didn't expect him to experience it personally today. James's wife had been hacked to death by the natives in the riots. At this time, he was filled with hatred and vowed to

The Siamese people must pay for their debt with blood.

"Porphyrin——"

At the north entrance of the Chinese District, the general-purpose machine gun roared like tearing cloth. Forty or fifty thugs holding machetes and trying to attack the Chinese District were torn into pieces by the dense bullets. Then the Siamese pushed in the cannons.

But this time they met

That's right, mortars of various calibers. Before the Siamese cannons could be set up, several 120mm caliber mortar shells fell into the crowd operating the cannons, making an earth-shattering sound, including everyone and the cannons.

Turned into fragments.

This burst of machine gun attacks and artillery shell attacks shocked the Siamese people. They had to separate some people to watch the entrances and exits of the Chinese District, and then went to other places to vent their anger. After all, Bangkok is so big, although most Chinese have moved to the Chinese District, there are also many

The Chinese were stranded in various places in the city for various reasons, and they naturally became the best targets for venting their anger.

At this time, the city of Bangkok was in complete chaos. The Siamese, holding machetes and sugar cane knives high, went door to door and robbed every place worth looting. Rape, robbery, and massacre began to spread inside and outside the city.

A group of thugs on the street set fire to the looted shops, and then the Siamese people holding knives shouted, "Kill the Chinese, burn them, these Chinese dogs", "Get back the ancestral heritage that was plundered by the Chinese" and other orders

Funny slogans.

At this time, when the four overseas Chinese who were being chased ran to the intersection of the street, they suddenly discovered that more than ten Siamese people were rushing towards them from across the street. The middle-aged overseas Chinese looked at his wife who had a cut on her forehead with the tip of the knife.

, the wife’s head and face were covered with blood, and the beautiful daughter with short ear-length hair and a blue dress and black skirt had a look of despair in her eyes, and the eleven or twelve-year-old son was holding a sharpened wooden stick in his hand.

Stick, glaring at the thugs who were getting closer and closer.

The woman looked at the exhausted man, then turned her head, looking around in front of and behind her. Alas, there is no way out.

The woman felt sour in her heart, patted the ashes on her body, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to her husband, then looked at her children with tears in her eyes, hugged them tightly, and whispered something.

The man holding the kitchen knife in his hand gritted his teeth tightly, with tears in his eyes, and said nothing.

At this time, the kind-faced woman suddenly pulled out a bamboo bun from the piled hair on the back of her head and stabbed her daughter's neck fiercely. Scarlet blood spurted out, and the light blue clothes were instantly stained.

The beautiful girl, who was blushing and about thirteen or fourteen years old, did not scream, but looked at her parents with tears in her eyes, and gently stroked her younger brother's forehead with her weak and delicate hands.

When the sister's hand dropped, the boy did not cry, but held the wooden stick tightly in his hand. The lost woman glanced at her husband who said nothing, then looked at her son, and stabbed her with the hairpin again.

The woman lying in a pool of blood looked at her son and wanted to say something, but she was speechless. Blood foam spurted out along the hairpin inserted in her throat, rolled down, and gathered into a stream.

The middle-aged man looked sad, but still said nothing. It would be better for his wife and daughter to commit suicide than to fall into the hands of those thugs.

"Kill, son! Let's kill all these thieves! Kill one and it's enough, kill two and you'll make a profit!"

Seeing the thugs getting closer and closer, the middle-aged man shouted, waved the kitchen knife in his hand, and rushed towards the thugs at high speed. The young man's eyes were firm, and he followed closely behind his father, playing with the stick so that the water would not splash.

"Papa -"

A burst of intensive gunfire suddenly rang out, and the mobs that had gathered were beaten by a hail of bullets and howled like ghosts. After leaving dozens of corpses behind, they fled quickly.

The middle-aged man's feet gave out and he almost fell to the ground. The young man leaned on a stick and breathed greedily.

A team of more than fifty men in black appeared on the street corner, with more than a hundred frightened young and old people behind them. Several young men in black with automatic rifles in their hands quickly rushed to the father and son. The leader

One person glanced at the poor mother and daughter on the ground, shook his head with a look of regret, and then said:

"Brother, the riots in the city are spreading. We have to get out of here quickly... Don't worry, our search and rescue team sent by Hongxing Society, I will take you to the Hua District now. There are thousands of people and guns there, and we are ready

There is a large amount of food supplies, which can temporarily ensure safety."

The middle-aged man perked up after hearing this, stood firm, held his son's hand steadily, and quickly followed the team. As for the bodies of his wife and daughter, they will have to wait until the situation is under control before trying to recover them. No matter when, priority must be given to ensuring

The life of a living person.

...

"No, the army must be mobilized to suppress the riot!"

The Prime Minister of Siam, Marquis Paifeng, looked ashen and said loudly: "If the riots continue to develop, the good reputation we have finally gained in the West will be completely destroyed!"

"However, our front line is being attacked by the superior strength of the Anjia Army!"

Phibun Somkan gritted his teeth and said: "The French and Japanese lied to us. They said that the main force of the Anjia army was concentrated in Mongolia and Central Asia, but now what kind of army suddenly appears to attack us? There are also reports from frontline generals

The overwhelming artillery shells, even I could clearly hear the scream of the artillery shells through the microphone. You can imagine how much pressure there is on the front line! I am worried that the troops in front will not be able to hold on..."

The real name of the Marquis Phaya Phae Feng was Phaya Phae Phung. After the successful coup in June 1932, King Rama VII was forced to grant numerous titles. Phaya Phae Phung was proud of the title of marquis he had obtained and had to be called by others at all times.

He photographed Marquis Feng to show his contribution to Siam's democratization process.

Marquis Paifeng asked with some confusion: "What does the failure of the frontline have to do with us suppressing the riot?"

Phibun Somkhamp smiled coldly: "Most of those participating in the riots are the 'Youth Party', the 'Great Siam Party', the 'Siam Blood Group' and other domestic radical ethnic groups and political parties. They are the most staunch supporters of our military regime.

Supporters, if we come forward to suppress it, it will not only shake the foundation of our rule, but also no one will respond to any calls in the future."

"this--"

Beads of sweat broke out on Marquis Paifeng's forehead: "But now those mobs are attacking white people's churches and residential areas. If our army hadn't been protecting the embassy area, I'm afraid those mobs would have already rushed into the embassies of Britain, France, the United States and other countries.

! Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received dozens of calls. The British, American, and French governments have all expressed concern about the unrest in Bangkok. Paper cannot cover the fire. Once the massacre is exposed, we will be finished!"

"But what if we blame all this on the Chinese?"

Phibun Somkan stood up and walked to the window. In the square in front of the building, there were still countless people gathering. Phibun Somkan pointed outside and said: "We can deduce that it is the Chinese in Bangkok who want to coordinate with them.

The compatriots launched a counterattack in Shi Soufeng, and then riots broke out. Anyway, there is no proof, who can prove that it was our people?"

Marquis Paifeng was stunned: "Many people fled into the embassy area. They witnessed everything..."

Phibun Songkan smiled cruelly: "Then even the embassy district will be destroyed!"

Marquis Paifeng collapsed into a ball with fear and murmured: "Crazy, crazy..."

Piwen Songkan glanced at Marquis Paifeng with disdain, strode to the phone, and dialed the number of his confidant: "I am Piwen, I am giving orders now, the 20th Division, the 21st Division

, dispatch now, the goal is..."
