Siam is finished, this is the first sentence of the telegram from the secret agents of various countries. At this time, the British are still arguing. The Japanese can't do anything, at least they can't save it in time. The French are watching from the side.
Siam fell too quickly. It only took one day. Although Siam has not really surrendered yet, it is already a matter of time. The Xikang Army surrounded Bangkok, which means that the troops around Bangkok have been annihilated. They set out in the morning and were surrounded by the evening.
Bangkok, this kind of fighting power is so terrifying!
Although Siam is a rubbish country, it still has two to three hundred thousand troops. According to intelligence, the 150,000 elite Siamese soldiers gathered opposite the Xikang Army were defeated in two hours, and then the Xikang Army marched straight in. However,
The Xikang army ran too fast. They arrived so quickly and completed the siege.
Thinking about the equipment that the Xikang Army had just replaced before taking over the French, it is estimated that the equipment is not inferior to that of any country. Otherwise, why should we surround a city of one million people, and the road from Bangkok is four to five hundred kilometers away?
, that is to say, the Xikang Army encountered no resistance along the road.
The Japanese can only secretly envy Wang Jiuling's good luck. They don't have such good luck in the Northeast. They have been confronting Song Zheyuan's troops in Chahar and Rehe. After thinking about it, they blame the damn Wang Jiuling. If it weren't for him
Support, the 29th Route Army with backward equipment has been wiped out long ago. After Wang Jiuling supported it, the weapons and equipment were actually better than the Japanese army, and they were also equipped with poison gas bombs. Last time, 20,000 heroic soldiers of the empire were wiped out all at once.
, the empire used to use poison gas bombs when the war was not going well, but now they don’t dare to use it anymore
Hundreds of people were killed and injured in the occupation of Northeast China. However, after more than a year of confrontation with the 29th Route Army, which had been upgraded to the 29th Group Army, the empire had already lost 50,000 lives and injured more than 50,000 people. There were still a large number of armed forces inside Northeast China.
Constantly harassing and killing the imperial army, this is why they have not attacked Jehol and Chahar for the time being. The Japanese army needs to rest and recuperate, and the 29th Army also needs to rest and recuperate. Fortunately, Wang Jiuling has full support, otherwise they would have been finished long ago.
However, although the Japanese have always wanted to kill Wang Jiuling, Wang Jiuling's protection is too strict, and only Germans are doing business in Xikang. The interrogation is very strict, and it is impossible to sneak in, let alone get close to Wang Jiuling.
The British were still arguing, and before they could come to a conclusion, Bangkok was surrounded and in danger. The French actually stood aside and watched the actions of the Xikang Army. It is said that Wang Jiuling said that he would not destroy Siam, but only wanted justice.
This is also the issue they are debating whether to send troops. Wang Jiuling's reputation as a fool is well known to the world, and there are four to five million troops. A small number of troops will definitely not deter Wang Jiuling, but what they are most worried about is if they send troops to help Siam.
, when the time comes, the Xikang Army will not care about starting a war, so how will the British end?
So the British have been quarreling until now. They originally thought that the Xikang Army would arrive in two or three days, but they did not expect that they would attack Bangkok, the capital of Siam, in less than a day. Now all military operations are in vain, even if the battleships move in to rescue them.
People may not be useful. The ambassador in Bangkok sent a telegram, and Xikang Army’s planes were flying all over the sky, countless of them.
The British could only send people to test Wang Jiuling's tone first and see where Wang Jiuling's bottom line was.
Countless soldiers in Germany have seen a new war model. Although the Xikang Army has developed well, it will always be a third-rate country and a third-rate army in the eyes of the Germans. However, it actually destroyed Siam, a third-rate country, in one day.
I was defeated, and victory was within easy reach.
Isn't all this the same as the relationship between Germany and France? They couldn't help but think of what Wang Jiuling said before. He destroyed France in two months and bet five billion US dollars with the French. This matter has been hotly debated in the world for more than half a year.
Ah, everyone thinks Wang Jiuling is crazy, including the German military. This is what they dreamed of in World War I. It is a pity that after four years of fighting, Germany not only failed to win France, but was defeated.
The case of the Xikang Army defeating Siam in one day was placed in front of the German military. They now believe that perhaps the Chinese generals really have a way to destroy France in two months, and this tactic is hidden here
In the battle against Siam
Guderian, then the chief of staff of the Armored Forces Command, was studying the terrain of Siam as if he had discovered a treasure. Although the information at hand was limited, he still had a certain understanding of the organization of the Xikang Army.
There is an armored division in this group army with more than 400 tanks. Armored vehicles are the most interesting.
That was when his friend in Xikang wrote to him and told him that the warlords in Xikang were particularly obsessed with aircraft and tanks, and were desperately building aircraft, tanks, and cannons.
Guderian carefully studied the borders of Cochin and Siam, looking for the most convenient geographical location for attacking Bangkok, and at the same time measured the positions of the two places.
He was shocked to find that even if the Xikang Army marched into Bangkok at the best speed, it would only be possible for tanks with a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and there would be almost no rest on the road without any obstacles.
But Guderian did guess correctly. The fast speed of Xikang's tanks originated from when Wang Jiuling played World of Tanks in his later generations. He drove a Soviet KV tank because it drove slowly and the barrel rotated slowly. It was actually killed by a light tank.
, that car was too fast, and the gun barrel couldn't match it at all, so it was hit with full health one shot after another until it was killed after seven or eight runs.
So I forgot that the purpose of researching tanks at this time is to be fast and have armor that can withstand artillery shells. However, the armor of the Xikang Army is in its infancy, so the armor cannot develop very well. Fortunately, the Japanese tanks basically only have a thin layer.
Steel plates can be used to deal with a white-knuckle tank. In addition, the enemy likes to commit suicide attacks, so a high-speed tank is very necessary. When the enemy pulls the explosive package, we will disappear in a flash. This can minimize the number of enemies.
loss
This tank from Xikang is a light tank with a speed of 70 kilometers per hour. It is like a car, but the armor is thin. However, Wang Jiuling is used to deal with the Japanese, and better tanks have been studied for a long time.
The reason why Wang Jiuling produced so many tanks was because he didn't know when the Sino-Japanese War would break out. If he had to wait until the outbreak to start mass production, it would be too late. Facing the Japanese tanks by then, many places would have to use human lives.
It is not enough to rely solely on weapons such as anti-war artillery. The Japs’ industrial capabilities are generally much stronger than China’s. In particular, their industrial capabilities are relatively compact and reasonable. Unlike China, Wang Jiuling’s place is better. There are many other weapons components.
They all have to be imported. What if the Japanese blockade the coast? So I have forgotten to always demand self-sufficiency. No matter how bad it is, it is my own thing. If it is bad, it will be bad. It is better than nothing.
