Just when An Yi was commanding the Afghan war in Tashkent and enjoying the romance, on November 26, the Japanese Tuomei detachment, based on the 56th Regiment of the 18th Division, suddenly marched toward the border with us.
Taogong County on the other side launched an attack.
Narathiwat District is located at the southernmost tip of Songkhla City in the newly established Shannan Province, bordering Malaya. The area was historically affiliated with the Sudan of Pattani, which was the lord of the Malay Sudan. Various places on the Malay Peninsula
The Sultanate has maintained a high degree of independence for a long time, but some of them paid tribute to the Kingdom of Sukhothai and the Kingdom of Ayutthaya.
In the 1860s, the Kingdom of Ayutthaya was attacked by Myanmar. After the fall of the kingdom's capital, the Sultan of Pattani declared independence. However, the declaration of independence was never recognized by the King of Siam. Later, after King Rama I of Siam came to the throne in Bangkok, Pattani soon became
It came under the direct rule of the Kingdom of Siam. It was not until the beginning of this century that Britain and the Kingdom of Siam signed a treaty, dividing the original Pattani Sudanese territory, 60% of it went to the Kingdom of Thailand, and 40% was incorporated into the then British colony of Malaya.
After Siam was annexed by Nan Hua, the Malayan natives in the Narathiwat area once again declared independence. However, they fell apart under the lightning-fast attack of the An family army. The natives and religious leaders who deliberately caused division were eliminated, and most of their property
After being confiscated, a small part was used to appease the people at the bottom. At the same time, the government evenly distributed land and production tools to civilians, and society quickly stabilized.
Gu Changfeng deployed two infantry battalions on the border of Naragon County and a regiment in the county seat as backup. At the same time, he set up a former enemy headquarters in Songkhla City with three infantry divisions under his jurisdiction to deter the Japanese army.
However, at this time, the Japanese army had just experienced a series of victories and was in a state of arrogance and madness.
In late November, the Japanese army basically wiped out the British troops in Malaya. The original Malayan rebels and national independence leaders came down from the Cameron Highlands and the mountains in the center of the peninsula where they had taken refuge, and fought with what was regarded as the "liberation"
The Japanese troops of the "Rebels" gathered together, hoping to establish a national autonomous government with the support of Japan, and the situation in Malaya gradually stabilized.
Originally, according to the plan of the Japanese base camp, they cooperated with friendly forces in central Malaya to annihilate the British 18th Division that had withdrawn from Kota Bharu and the Japanese-German defense line southward, leaving a regiment to use the British border defenses to hold on.
, the rest of the troops boarded the ship from Kota Bahru Port and returned to the Lanyin Islands.
However, the Tuomei detachment, which had made great contributions in the previous war, once again "overcame the superior", tampered with the orders of the base camp without authorization, and took the initiative to provoke the war.
The attack was launched in the early morning. When the rising sun in the east was rising, an earth-shattering explosion sounded from the Anjiajun position along the national border. After the explosion, the roar of artillery shells passing through the air was heard. It was the sound of flying shells.
A heavy artillery shell that travels faster than the speed of sound will immediately throw up an orange fireball after it hits the ground.
The Japanese artillery used the captured new mk-1 howitzer to fire, which kicked off the encounter. The Japanese artillery positions were divided into three major clusters, two of which each had twenty-five British 4.5-inch howitzers.
Definitely firing the mk-1 howitzer
After attacking Zhuyuan, they launched rapid fire at the Anjia Army beachhead two kilometers away. The sixteen Japanese-made 75mm and 105mm field guns equipped by another artillery group served as a guard in order to destroy the Anjia Army artillery force across the boundary river at any time.
launched a counterattack.
Because the British army wasted money too quickly, the Japanese army gained a lot in Malaya and Singapore. The artillery of several divisions participating in the war were strengthened. At the same time, they also captured several large military factories run by the British.
The difficulty in supplying ammunition has been greatly alleviated. Now the morale of the Japanese army is unprecedentedly high, and they are ready to fight a turnaround.
This attack on the defense line from Dabai to Wenzhen on the other side of the border was jointly carried out by the lower-level staff of the Japanese army. In fact, the commander of the 20th Army, Yamashita Tomofumi, was kept in the dark until the beginning of the war.
The artillery shells fired by the Japanese army came like meteors towards the position built by the Anjia army. When they hit the ground, they exploded into countless pillars of fire. The air waves swept up various debris flying in the air, and soon turned into a heavy rain.
Ge Naodi fell to the ground, and the entire position was soon shrouded in smoke and dust.
The bomb group repeatedly covered the Anjiajun beachhead position!
Each round of twenty-five shells fell on the ground, exploding with sharp winds like invisible steel knives, and then set off a frenzy of earth and rock about five or six meters high! The flying shrapnel, stone clusters, adobe, and grass roots formed a line
An airtight curtain swept the entire position.
"boom--"
Amidst the loud noises that were as dense as rain and sounded like thunder, waves of invisible sound waves emerged one after another, from far to near, and from near to far, like hammers hitting the ears of the officers and soldiers.
Smashed it over!
The officers and soldiers, whether they were veterans or new recruits, sitting in the specially reinforced shell-proof caves, all opened their mouths desperately to relieve the strong impact of sound waves on their eardrums.
The whole ground was shaking violently, and with every explosion, huge holes were left behind and behind the position. From time to time, artillery shells fell in the trenches, making craters on the surface of the reinforced concrete.
The Japanese's fifty cannons were spitting flames continuously, and the shells were thrown in piles at the beachhead that was already shrouded in smoke.
Brutal shock waves, whistling shrapnel, and flying rocks filled the sky with smoke and dust, roaring like a sandstorm and sweeping over the Anjiajun position repeatedly.
In the trenches that had been exposed to artillery fire, thick smoke billowed, and the heat released by the endless explosions of shells quickly swept away the coolness of the morning, and the air became unbearably hot.
The shelling had lasted for a quarter of an hour. Although the trenches and fortifications were made of concrete, they still collapsed under such frequent artillery fire, and cracks began to appear on the tops of many anti-bombing holes.
Just when the nervous endurance of the Anjia officers and soldiers was about to reach its limit, the Japanese shelling suddenly stopped.
On the smoke-filled position, the officers and soldiers emerged from the gun-proof holes that were almost blocked by concrete blocks and hardened soil blocks. For a while, there were coughs and "poohs" everywhere, and everyone was busy vomiting.
Mouthful of sand and dust.
"The enemy is probably coming! Get ready, everyone! As long as we hold on for half an hour, the troops from the rear will come for reinforcements, and the air force will also join the battle! Everyone, move faster!"
The grassroots commanders and non-commissioned officers with extremely rich combat experience quickly urged the officers and soldiers to set up light and heavy machine guns, and quickly repaired the partially collapsed fortifications and trenches.
Just as the soldiers were making various preparations seriously and nervously, the shrill air defense siren sounded again on the position.
"Fuck, it's not over yet!"
"What a fool, you dare to send out the air force, let's make them look good later!"
There was a buzz of discussion on the position, and all the officers and soldiers picked up the guns and ammunition they had just laid out and retreated in an orderly manner. In less than two minutes, the entire position was empty.
Due to the early warning from the airship radar, the dull engine sound of the bomber was heard in the air at this time.
Twenty-eight murderous Type 92 heavy bombardment aircraft, under the cover of sixteen Ki-27 Nakajima Type 97 fighter jets, appeared from the southern sky. The huge fleet was like a shark smelling blood.
, groups of four fiercely swooped over the Anjiajun position.
The thick smoke after the bombardment was still hanging over the position. The first bomber was already screaming and dived down to the ground. The large-caliber machine gun bullets were shot vertically into the smoke-filled traffic ditches and trenches.
Regardless of whether it works or not, drop another bomb, then pull up, shake the wings twice, and rush into the sky.
The bomb that fell in the trench exploded violently, and billowing smoke and dust mixed with soil rushed into the air, and a huge plume of smoke suddenly rose in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth Japanese planes dived toward the ground one after another. The two fire whips spurted out by the aircraft's machine guns on both sides fiercely hit the trenches, causing the soil to splash on the ground.
, sparks flying.
Fifty-kilogram and one-hundred-kilogram aerial bombs fell on the position one by one and exploded. Aerial machine gun bullets roared from the sky! The position that was already riddled with holes was once again shrouded in a sea of fire.
In the midst, the trenches made of concrete collapsed, and some fortifications made of steel bars, masonry mixed with cement, rose into the sky.
It was too late, but it was soon. Just when the Japanese fighter planes were going rampant, the fighter group of the Second Air Regiment deployed at Luangshan Airport in the north of Tongsong City finally arrived and attacked the Japanese plane group.
The first to discover the Anjia military aircraft group were the dozen Ki-27 fighter jets of the Japanese Army Aviation Corps that were patrolling the border to guard the air.
The Japanese army attacked this time because the staff below secretly issued the order without telling their superiors, so not many troops were mobilized.
The current dispatched fleet includes all the fighters that can be mobilized. The participating air force is the flying detachment of the 3rd Flying Group based in Kota Bharu Port. They were originally worried about the army's attack, although they were determined to do so.
The scalp took over the task, but always maintained
We were on high alert, and when we discovered the overwhelming aircraft fleet, we felt excited. Our first reaction was to run away quickly, but when we saw the bombers at the rear still having fun, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and pounce towards the surging aircraft fleet in order to get to the enemy.
The bomber escapes to buy time.
The 2nd Air Force Regiment dispatched three fighter squadrons this time, and two squadrons were left at the airport to maneuver.
More than 50 kilometers behind the three fighter squadrons, there are five bomber squadrons. Since the Japs did not follow the rules and took the initiative to launch an attack, there is no mercy to be had. The troops involved in the attack must be blown back to their original state.
, give little Japan a show of strength.
At the same time, at the missile base located in the Khao Son Mountains north of Nha Trang, a shrill siren sounded loudly an hour ago. On the ten missile launchers distributed on various hills, there were already two missiles pointed at the sky, ready.
Just waiting for ignition and launch. The missile soldiers are seizing the moment and using the crane arm to install the missile on the third missile rack.
The frontline battle has begun. Regardless of whether the headquarters will consider using missiles as a killer weapon in the end, the missile force must do its best to arm itself as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the order comes, there will be nothing to launch, and the higher-ups will make the decision.
.
...
In this air battle that broke out over Taogong County, the powerful Anjia Army Air Force can be described as overwhelming.
The second regiment of the 1st Air Division participating in the battle is all equipped with A27 fighter jets. This kind of aircraft cannot even compete with the upgraded version of the Japanese ki-27 Nakajima 97 fighter jet, let alone the ki-27.
This is a model that has been proven as early as the Baoding air battle and the Jidong air battle.
The weapon system of the A27 fighter is a 23mm large-caliber cannon on the nose and two 12.7-caliber aviation machine guns on the wings, while the weapon of the Japanese Ki-27 is a 7.7mm machine gun. There is no comparability between the two. Coupled with the speed and climb,
The diving and dogfighting performance were completely lagging behind, so the Japanese fighter plane became a living target.
In the first wave of head-on fire, seven Ki-27s were blown up in the air. The remaining Japanese pilots panicked and either dived or quickly pulled up, but their every move was firmly locked and they were moving forward.
Eleven A27s were separated from the fleet and rushed towards the fleeing Ki-27, while the remaining fighters pounced on the Japanese bombers.
At this time, the little devil's bomber pilot was already in a bad situation. Although the Type 92 heavy blaster was also equipped with aviation machine guns on the nose and wings, which could shoot in the air and on the ground, its huge size and clumsy movements
, destined not to be the main force in air combat, now suddenly saw a large number of silver-gray aircraft flying towards him, and all the terrifying memories of the Anjia Army Air Force were quickly awakened.
The Type 92 heavy bombardment aircraft, like a school of fish targeted by sharks, dispersed in a flurry, pulled out arcs in the air, turned around, and fled crazily towards the southern sky.
