Chapter 386 Attacking Bangkok
Chen Jiale left the city. This trip to the city made him very satisfied and gained a lot of gains. The fastest update he has been officially appointed as Prime Minister of the Thai * Military Government by Qin Shou. He will be ordered to form the Thai * Military Government.
The Anti-Japanese Rescue ** will receive their support in the Battle of Bangkok and the subsequent combat operations to capture the entire Thailand.
Although Chen Jiale believes that the policies implemented by Qin Shou and his friends in Thailand are a bit too strict for the Thai natives. However, he has to admit that this is undoubtedly of great benefit to the majority of Chinese people. At the same time, it is also a good way to solve all problems as soon as possible. Although, the Thai natives will definitely resist fiercely in the early stage. As long as they use iron-blooded means to suppress the resistance of these Thais, then there will be no problems.
After the candidate for the Prime Minister of the Thai military government was determined in advance, the attack on Bangkok by the anti-Japanese and rescued ** also had to begin. After all, if you want to form the Thai government, you must first kill all the Japanese and those who are entrenched in Thailand. Only in this way can you ensure the occupation of the entire Thailand. Judging from the current situation, there are almost no Japanese and other places in Thailand except Bangkok. Taking Bangkok means that the Battle of Thailand can come to an end. And it comes to an end with the victory of the anti-Japanese and rescue of **.
Qin Shou did not stay in the big city forever, but went to the front line with the troops and left Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan in the big city to be responsible for the logistics of the entire army. He went to the front line in person to command the battle.
"The commander, all the main combat troops of the 1st Army have arrived around Bangkok. The 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division have advanced to the north of Bangkok. The 3rd Infantry Division and the 4th Infantry Division have advanced to the east of Bangkok. The 5th Infantry Division and the 6th Infantry Division are on standby at any time. The artillery brigade and armored brigade have also arrived at the front line. As for the Chao Phraya River in the west of Bangkok, we have not deployed troops in that direction for the time being. The south of Bangkok is Bangkok Bay." Sun Changwu introduced to Qin Shou.
Bangkok is located on the east side of Chao Phraya River and Bangkok Bay to the south. Therefore, if you want to attack Bangkok with the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts, there are only two options, that is, to launch an attack from the back and the east.
"Japan* himself built a thirty-kilometer-long defense line outside Bangkok. According to the information we obtained, Japan himself used a lot of manpower to build it within a week. In order to build this line of defense, the only two remaining troops of the Thai Army were exhausted to death. Many of the remaining civilians in Bangkok were required to work forcibly. There were countless people who were exhausted. It can be said that this line of defense was completely constructed by corpses." Yu Chengyin, chief of staff of the 2nd Army, also said.
After receiving Qin Shou's promise, Yu Chengyin was full of energy after forming two more armies. Needless to guess, the future commander of the 3rd and 4th Army must be him and the 2nd Army Chief of Staff Chen Dehai. In this way, they will be able to stand alone. Yu Chengyin naturally hopes that the 1st Army will perform better in the Battle of Bangkok. In this way, his position as commander will undoubtedly be unstoppable.
"Japan* himself has always been cruel and will not regard people from other countries as humans. Unless you can be stronger than him and beat him all over the ground to look for teeth. In that case, he will be willing to be your lackey and a loyal lackey. In other words, the more Japanese he killed, the more Japanese he will be afraid of you." Qin Shou said.
In another time and space, Americans beat Japanese people all over the ground in the Pacific. But in the end, didn’t Japanese people become Americans’ lackeys? They became Americans’ number one lackeys in curbing the Soviet Union and China in the Western Pacific.
"Science! The Commander's analysis is really incisive. I have to admit that Japanese* himself has such a personality. They only admire the strong. The weak are only bullied in front of them. Even if they beg for mercy, they will not have any mercy." Sun Changwu sighed.
"So, there is only one way before us, that is, to defeat Japanese himself and completely defeat them. Only in this way can we truly stand up again and not be bullied by others." Qin Shou said solemnly.
"Commander, we have completed the military preparations for Bangkok. When can we launch an attack?" Sun Changwu asked.
"In Bangkok, there are only three divisions of the Japanese army, one independent mixed brigade and one engineer command. The other 200,000 Thai troops are simply vulnerable garbage. The only thing to worry about is that the Japanese themselves are guarding the city and resisting. In street fighting, we will pay a certain price. However, even so, we must take Bangkok. In the shortest time, we will take Bangkok at the lowest price. Order the artillery and air force, and do not stingy with bombs and shells, and blow Bangkok into ruins." Qin Shou ordered.
There are not many civilians in Bangkok City. Even if those civilians are left behind, they are mostly traitors who are close to Japan. Since they are willing to act as Japanese people's lackeys, then Qin Shou naturally has no need to take care of their lives. Anyway, those who have sold all their ancestors are not worthy of living in this world anymore.
"Yes, Commander." Sun Changwu and Yu Chengyin both replied.
If fierce artillery and bombing can be used to solve the Japanese army in Bangkok, it will undoubtedly be the best. In this way, the casualties of the Anti-Japanese Rescue will be much smaller when attacking Bangkok. Even if the Japanese army cannot be wiped out, it will be good to annihilate even a part of them.
With Qin Shou's order, the attack on Bangkok by the anti-Japanese and rescued ** was about to begin.
At 8:30 am on February 12, the artillery brigade that fought against Japan and rescued **, the artillery regiments of six infantry divisions, and the artillery battalions of eighteen infantry regiments launched violent artillery bombardment into Bangkok city on the 30-kilometer defense line from north to east of Bangkok.
144 155mm heavy howitzers, 216 105mm light howitzers, and 324 75mm field guns were all put into artillery attacks. For a moment, the guns were rumbling on the artillery positions that fought against Japan and rescued **. The Japanese army in Bangkok only felt that the bombs were like rain. They fell into an explosion from all directions.
Countless Japanese soldiers, as well as the Thai Army, who were forced to cooperate with the Japanese, could only shrink into trenches and artillery holes, and endure these fierce artillery bombardments. (To be continued...)
