Less than ten minutes after Lu Linhai and Hu Junhao descended from the mountain, a squadron of bombers flew in from the southern sky. This was a small force composed of Q1 attack aircraft and B1 bombers. As soon as they arrived, they hit the artillery observation balloon raised by the Siamese Army.
The two Siamese Army observers who were observing the situation of the 1st Marine Division from a distance on the gondola were smashed into pieces by the aerial bombs. When they fell to the ground, they had turned into blurry pieces of flesh and blood.
After that, the bombers of this squadron violently beat the Siamese positions. As the bombs fell one after another, the Siamese positions screamed shrilly, and the Q1 attack planes were even more arrogant.
With Siamese ground machine gun fire, the Siamese positions were strafed with machine guns and aircraft machine guns, leaving Siamese corpses strewn all over the ground.
After a quarter of an hour of fighting, the planes rose into the air and circled over the Siamese positions over and over again. Although the Siamese suffered heavy casualties, due to the lack of anti-aircraft weapons, they could only let them buzz overhead.
.However, at this point, the surviving Siamese have settled down, thinking that the opponent's fighter planes are out of bombs and bullets, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
While the Siamese people were busy rescuing the wounded and burying the corpses of their companions, bursts of smoke rose from the First Marine Division. Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the aroma of rice filled the air, and the Siamese who had been tortured to death were
Bing, I suddenly felt that my heart was almost touching my back.
Affected by the First Marine Division preparing to eat, white smoke soon rose from behind the Siamese position, and the aroma of the food spread, making every hungry Siamese soldier feel doubly hungry. Among them
Most of the people, after getting on the train from Prachinburi in the early morning
He had never eaten again, and since he was building fortifications and avoiding bombings, he had been starving for a long time. Now that he saw his opponent having dinner, his mind suddenly relaxed. From top to bottom, most of the Siamese officers and soldiers were suddenly confused.
I shifted from my current job to filling my stomach.
At this time, Lieutenant General Chai Padan, commander of the 15th Division of the Siamese Army, was standing on a two-story western-style building in the south of Chonburi City, observing the situation ahead. Seeing this scene, he was very confused and couldn't figure it out.
, the Chinese people opposite are dining at this time, could it be a conspiracy?
After thinking about it, Chaibadan called Colonel Banhun, the chief of staff of the division, and said, "Give the order for the soldiers to eat in batches. After the meal, while rescuing the sick and wounded, burying the bodies, and reinforcing the defenses, all departments must not relax their vigilance."
, the opponent we face is very cunning, and one mistake could lead to losing the whole game!"
Another half hour passed, and the sun gradually set in the west. The wind blowing from the Siam Army brought a strong aroma of food. On the Anjia Army's First Marine Division, tanks one after another had entered and set off.
In the area, the Marine Corps soldiers who were following the tanks have entered their respective armored vehicles.
Behind the huge queue of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, the dark mass of Marines sat on the ground, closing their eyes and concentrating. No one walked around randomly, no one made any noise, and the whole scene was solemn. Behind the officers and soldiers, there were a large number of transport vehicles
Trucks were the main guarantee for the Marine Corps to march more than 70 kilometers in three and a half hours.
A few minutes later, the first wave of aircraft left quietly, and the second wave of aircraft flew silently from the south, quickly taking the place of its companions.
Sattahip Military Port originally had a large military airport. After the Marine Corps occupied it, it did not do much repairs. It simply added a few radio navigation instruments and put it into use. The Air Force 13th Regiment, which was originally stationed in Thanh Hoa,
Under the leadership of the regiment commander, Colonel Zhang Shan, and stationed at Sattahip Airport, the Army can now summon fighter planes to help almost at any time.
The Siamese army didn't know that the annoying "mosquito" above their heads had been replaced. "Let's eat -" Amidst bursts of excited shouts, the Siamese position suddenly became lively. On the other hand, the 1st Marine Division,
There was a roaring fire in the cooking carts, and the rice and stir-fried vegetables were already giving off a strong aroma, but there was not a single soldier waiting to receive food around the cooking carts.
"Prepare to attack!"
The officers conveyed orders back and forth, and tanks and armored vehicles were launched one after another. Waves of green smoke suddenly filled the flat land. The Marines opened their eyes and stood up in unison. Everyone began to
Make final preparations before departure.
"boom--"
The first to show off its power was the Second Fleet cruising in the inner waters of the Gulf of Siam. Two battleships led a large number of cruisers and destroyers, and together they launched a fierce bombardment at the Siamese Army positions south of Chonburi.
Thousands of red bullet marks rose from the distant sea, passed through the air, and roared towards the Siamese position.
Huge cannonballs hit the ground hard, and the ground suddenly shook violently like a strong earthquake. Fireballs rose from the ground. Amid the firelight and thick smoke, pieces of hardened soil exploded.
Flying up into the sky and falling in the distance.
The air was suddenly filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke, and the simple fortifications were blown to pieces. The Siamese soldiers who did not heed the orders of their superiors and gathered together to dine were suddenly bombarded by such intensive naval guns. The result was destined to be tragic.
.
Although the entire bombardment lasted only five minutes, within these five minutes, the Second Fleet, guided by air fighters, fired more than 5,000 artillery shells at the defense line south of Chon Buri. You know
If one of the 330mm naval guns mixed in it comes down, everything covering nearly a hundred square meters will be torn into pieces, let alone human flesh and blood.
Just when the Siamese people were almost in danger, three red flares slowly rose into the sky. After that, a loud charge horn sounded, and the roar from the First Marine Division was like a flood breaking its embankments, and like thousands of people.
The horses galloped, and the earth began to tremble and make a huge roar.
At this time, the troops deployed by the Siamese on the battlefield had almost disappeared in the running fire. The few who were lucky enough to survive had blood flowing from their eyes, noses and ears, and their eyes were looking ahead blankly.
When Lieutenant General Chai Patan heard the sound of the naval gun, he knew it was over. But he understood that sticking to Chon Buri for a day and night was the bottom line of Siamese Commander-in-Chief Phibun Songkhram. Even if he ran away at this time, he would not be able to avoid it.
The fate of being shot in a military court is better than dying on the battlefield, maybe he can leave his name in history.
With this kind of thinking, Chai Padan led the reserve group of the only remaining regiment in Chonburi City and rushed into the position south of the city.
In the dust all over the sky, as the distance got closer, Chai Badan finally saw clearly the true face of the enemy. Hundreds of tanks were lined up in columns, with each team separated by more than ten meters. There were about twenty teams in total, forming a
A wide front of two to three hundred meters, each team of tanks was followed by an equally large number of armored vehicles. Although this formation was not an absolutely straight line, it maintained a large square array as a whole.
Behind the phalanx of armored vehicles, the black mass of infantry could not be seen at a glance, which was frightening. At first glance, the number of Anjiajun Marines looked hopelessly large.
Tanks! Armored vehicles! Infantry group charge!
When had the remaining Siamese officers and soldiers ever seen such a formation? In addition, they were already covered by naval gunfire, and they were so frightened that many of them were so frightened that they almost turned around and ran away.
"Fire! Fire one thousand meters in front of the position!"
Chai Badan's hands were trembling and he clenched his teeth when giving orders, trying to use artillery to deter the advance of the 1st Marine Division.
Just two minutes later, there was a loud sound of artillery in the south of Chonburi Town. The thirty-six cannons hidden in the dense forest behind the position by the Siamese army took off their camouflage and opened fire on the wilderness area in front of the position!
The deafening sound of artillery continued, and the Siamese people in Chonburi city were frightened and silently prayed to the Buddha. However, the Siamese soldiers nesting in the trenches, including Chai Padan, looked ahead uneasily.
The bombardment brought a glimmer of hope to all Siamese soldiers. It would be good if the opponent retreated when faced with difficulties. Soon, the sky would darken. By then, whether retreating or holding on, they would be directly exposed to the opponent's attack than now.
It is much more beneficial to do so.
Soon, the smoke and fire caused by the explosion of the shell formed a wall of fog, and the advancing marines completely disappeared from the sight of the Siamese soldiers.
Behind the Siamese position, the sound of explosions suddenly came, and the group of bombers that had been hovering in the sky suddenly swooped down. The Siamese artillery position was immediately hit by a double blow from aerial bombs and aircraft machine gun bullets.
All misfiring.
At the same time, one tank after another broke through the smoke. The ferocious steel body, the mighty turrets and artillery quickly shocked the souls of the more than a thousand remaining Siamese soldiers.
Soon, the tanks of the Anjia Army were less than a hundred meters away from the Siamese trenches. After seeing these huge tanks crossing the hard-dug anti-tank trenches with almost no effort, the tight Siamese people
His emotions finally broke out completely, he turned around and ran towards Chonburi City behind him.
The anti-tank trenches dug by the Siamese were one and a half meters wide and one and a half meters deep, which was naturally enough to deal with the Japanese tanks. The tanks dispatched by the Anjia Army this time weighed more than 25 tons.
The trenches with such width and depth could be easily crossed, so tanks one after another chased the Siamese army and continued to pursue them.
Tank after tank, like a tiger emerging from the cage, the trenches and simple civil engineering works built with sweat by the Siamese people had no blocking effect at all for the Panther tank. It was like no one around, running rampant, and the Siamese officers and soldiers worked hard for two or three hours.
The results were quickly ruined.
Some unwilling Siamese soldiers fired at the tanks, and some threw grenades, but these actions were in vain.
The tanks of the Anjia Army used machine guns and artillery shells to deal with the Siamese who were shooting. Each shot fired at one point of fire, and the machine guns fired at them. A row of people fell down. The Siamese army was greatly frightened, and the remaining determination to resist collapsed.
.
A quarter of an hour later, the tank group of the 1st Marine Division rushed to the rear of the retreating Siamese and launched a segmented and surrounded attack. Most of the Siamese had lost their fighting spirit. They had never seen so many tanks in their lives.
Not to mention being enemies. In the face of absolute strength, the weak nature deep in the Siamese people suddenly emerged. They fell to their knees and raised their hands high to express surrender.
In this battle, the 1st Marine Division of the Anjia Army did not suffer any casualties, and completely wiped out one division and another regiment stationed in Chonburi, creating an unprecedented brilliant achievement.
