The Gulf of Thailand is the only large area of ​​sea in southern Thailand. Because the Thai Navy is weak, it has always been controlled by the British before. It was not until Japan launched a large-scale attack on Southeast Asia and the British retreated, this area of ​​sea fell into the hands of the Japanese.

However, although the Japanese Navy is strong, as the United States invests more and more powerfully in the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese Navy is increasingly exhausted. In order to fight against the US Navy, the Japanese Navy even had to transfer a large number of warships to the joint fleet. This also made the Japanese Navy very empty in other aspects. So their transport fleets are often attacked by American submarines. A large number of ships transporting various materials and personnel are sunk on the sea.

Although the Japanese Navy also has a huge submarine force. However, the tactics of the Japanese submarines are very problematic. Their submarines are mainly used to attack enemy military warships. However, after the sonar appears, it is undoubtedly very difficult to attack enemy warships. Once discovered, there is a risk of being sunk by deep-water bombs.

In addition, the Japanese Navy's submarines also undertake an important task, that is, to support the besieged army. During the island-seizing battle in the Pacific Ocean, the defeat of the joint fleet caused many Japanese islands to be surrounded by Americans. Although the Japanese officers and soldiers on the island would rather die than surrender and fight to the end. However, how long can they last if there is a serious shortage of supplies and weapons?

In order to ensure that these island guards can continue to persevere, the Japanese army came up with a plan to use submarines to transport materials to these surrounded islands, hoping that these island guards can continue to persevere and gain more time for Japan.

It can be said that the Japanese's tactics were really wrong. If their hundreds of submarines directly attacked the US transportation supply line in the Pacific and adopted the same wolf pack tactics as the German submarine troops. It would probably be very difficult for the Americans to launch a counterattack in the Pacific. The Japanese would not be forced into a desperate situation so quickly.

In February, the Gulf of Thailand was calm. A huge fleet was sailing on the sea dozens of kilometers east of Nakhon Palace, Thailand. This fleet transported more than 30,000 people from the 35th Division and the 36th Division under the 2nd Army of the Japanese Army and their equipment. They set off from the Indonesian Archipelago and transported hundreds of merchant ships and transport ships provided by the Japanese Navy to Thailand together.

The current situation in Thailand is very unfavorable to Japan. Therefore, the Southern Army hurriedly transferred troops from other battlefields to the Thai battlefield. Originally, the 2nd Army was planned to log in to Australia. However, the development of the anti-Japanese rescue in full swing has posed a great threat to the Japanese. In a desperate situation, the Southern Army had to give up its combat plan to go south to Australia and concentrate its full efforts to eliminate the anti-Japanese rescue.

After all, Nanyang has become the foundation for Japan to launch a war of foreign aggression. The various war resources in Nanyang are completely indispensable for Japan. If the Nanyang is lost, Japan's war machines will not be able to operate. Therefore, the Japanese must do their best to keep Nanyang. This is undoubtedly the most important for them.

On a transport ship, Lieutenant General Sakanishi Kazura, the commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army, and Lieutenant General Ikari Kan-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun-kun

"Kun Jingguan, I heard that the main force of the Chinese people has already moved south from Hokpang Po. Their advancement speed is very fast, and it will advance to the surrounding areas of Bangkok in at most ten days. The pressure from the commander is very high!" Lieutenant General Kazura Sakanichi sighed.

These Japanese generals probably never thought that the situation of the war would be so deteriorating. Once upon a time, the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible and fought against all the British and Americans, and they were powerless. Such a record made all Japanese soldiers very excited.

However, in just a few years, the situation became so difficult. The rapid change of the situation caught these Japanese generals off guard, unable to believe it at all, and dare not accept this fact.

"Yes! Now, in Bangkok, besides the independent mixed 29th Brigade and the 5th Engineer Command left by the 18th Front, there are only the 5th Division and 32nd Division of our 2nd Army, and the 2nd Division of the 38th Army. Once the Chinese people launch an attack, it is really hard to say whether they can withstand their attack." Lieutenant General Jing Guanren also sighed.

The Japanese at the beginning did not take the cowardly Chinese seriously at all. They thought that the Chinese could not form any powerful army. On the Chinese battlefield, they did defeat the Chinese army step by step, and defeated the more with fewer times. A large brigade could defeat a division and a gang of Chinese troops, and even dared to resist an army of Chinese troops.

However, on the battlefield in the Southeast Asian region, everything has changed. Not to mention that the Japanese army won more with less, even with the same force, they were definitely not the opponent to fight against Japan and rescued. On the contrary, they were defeated by the anti-Japanese rescue. Even when the troops were at the advantage, they were not the opponent to fight against Japan and rescued! Under such circumstances, the worldview of these Japanese generals seemed to collapse.

"I hope this time, after gathering all the strength of our 2nd Army and 38th Army, we can defeat the Chinese people in one fell swoop. As long as we defeat them once on the battlefield, it will be much easier if we defeat them in the future." Lieutenant General Kazura Sakanichi said.

Lieutenant General Jing Guanren nodded. The Japanese army ended in failure in the battle against Japan and rescue. This also made many Japanese officers and soldiers feel a little afraid of fighting against Japan and rescue. The Japanese generals all knew that they could not continue like this. Otherwise, they would completely lose the opportunity to defeat the anti-Japanese rescue.

Neither Lieutenant General Kazuki nor Lieutenant General Iguanren discovered that they were about to suffer a disaster. On their heads, on the clouds above more than 3,000 meters, two P-51B fighter jets were observing the fleet below with the help of cloud cover.

"Report to the headquarters, we found the Chinese people." The pilot of the aircraft ordered.

Immediately, the location, number of Japanese fleets, etc. were reported to the headquarters.
