Zhuo Fei made a desperate attempt to mobilize almost all the forces of the Independence Army to the east into Thailand, and as many as 300,000 Burmese servants entered Thailand along with the Independence Army, and Zhuo Fei can now mobilize more than 500,000 troops. 500,000 troops entered Thailand together, which made the Thai army, which was already terrified, even more frightened, and the Japanese infantry wing in Thailand had lost most of its fighting spirit.

500,000 troops rushed to Bangkok, relying on the strong advance of armored troops, and the 1st Independent Division, which had been resting in Loei, took only three days to reach a place dozens of kilometers away from Bangkok. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese army and the Thai army, which had been actively preparing for war, immediately asked for help from the Japanese troops stationed in Malay, and also sent a telegram back to the mainland. "Ignore the Japanese troops who will be scattered, our task is to advance forward, and keep pushing forward." The armored troops, who had just finished a skirmish, had no intention of stopping to recuperate, and after replenishing fuel and ammunition, they immediately went to the rear line of the Japanese army.

The figure-of-eight armored units of the Independent Army quickly tore a hole in the Japanese rear line, and the infantry who followed the attack of the armored forces rushed forward like a tide, and in the dense gunfire fire, the Japanese rear line was full of holes. The Japanese troops who had been scattered and fled into the mountains and forests were no longer the search targets of the independent army, and this small task, which had little intensity to speak of, was now the responsibility of the Burmese servants, and only by capturing the fleeing Japanese routs could the soldiers of the Burmese servant army have the opportunity to obtain a decent equipment and combat weapons for themselves.

The news of the defeat of the Japanese army in Thailand spread very quickly, and even the Japanese cabinet envoy who was sent to China for peace talks already knew about it; in addition to scolding the Chinese for being sinister and cunning, the special envoy sent by the Japanese cabinet to China sent telegrams to the Chongqing government several times a day. The Japanese envoy had no choice but to continue to seek help from the Nanjing puppet government, relying on the relationship of the big spy Zhou Fohai, the Japanese envoy was able to connect with the high-level Chongqing government, and at this time, the forward troops of the independence army that were waving south were already preparing to attack Bangkok.

"In this battle, we want speed, after the strong fire attack on Bangkok, I want to see the armored troops quickly break through the enemy's positions and defensive lines, as long as we clear the enemy's outer defensive positions, the rest will be easy to do. Don't fight them in street fights, don't engage in close quarters with them, we have the advantage in numbers, we will surround Bangkok first, and after we have taken other targets, we will turn back and concentrate on dealing with the enemy forces in the city of Bangkok. Before the battle began, Zhuo Fei deliberately told Chen Geng and the others, for fear that they would mobilize troops to fight street battles with the Japanese army.

In order to cope with the attack of the independent army, under the command of the Japanese army, more than 10,000 Thai soldiers have already built Bangkok into a military city, countless firepower points and fortresses fill the entire city, in addition, the Thai royal family is also instigated by the Japanese army, issued a king order to the people, calling on the Thai people to take up arms to fight back against the invaders. "So we're intruders?" Zhuo Fei laughed angrily when he heard this, "I'm worried that they won't make trouble, as long as they dare to make trouble, our labor to build roads and water conservancy will be lost." ”

Whether the Thai people will obey the orders of the royal family to resist, Zhuo Fei is actually not worried at all, there are 300,000 Burmese servant troops in hand, regardless of whether the Thai people rebel against the independence army, they can only have one end, that is, they are captured by the Burmese servant army to build roads or water conservancy projects. At the beginning of the war between the Independence Army and the Burmese Japanese army, Zhuo Fei had already arranged for Angela to find technicians and related personnel familiar with water conservancy projects among the Jews, and with the expansion of the areas controlled by the Independence Army, a large number of Jewish technicians began to migrate south to Burma, and their only task was to design and build a complete set of road networks and water conservancy projects for Burma.

Now that Myanmar is under the control of the Independence Army, the construction of a large number of roads and water facilities has become the main way to resettle those who have gone south. And now, with the Independence Army troops entering Thailand, Zhuo Fei has planned to increase investment in roads and water conservancy facilities while fighting, and only by connecting the territory occupied by the Independence Army with roads can the Independence Army really defeat the Japanese invasion and protect the fruits of victory.

As soon as the day dawned, the Independence Army troops, who had already prepared for it, immediately launched an attack on Bangkok, and amid the terrified shouts of the Japanese-Thai soldiers, the Independence Army artillery poured shells on Bangkok's outer defensive lines. Unlike the tactics of the Independence Army in Burma, the artillery of the Independence Army, which rushed south along the border road, did not blindly bombard the positions of the Japanese-Thai forces, but concentrated their firepower on only one section of the defensive line, and the Japanese-Thai troops deployed in this defensive line suffered heavy casualties before the shelling was over.

With the deafening sound of motors, the armoured troops, which had been acting as the vanguard of the Independence Army, attacked the Japanese-Thai positions, and after encountering slight resistance, a large number of follow-up Independence Army soldiers poured into the Japanese-Thai positions and moved to the left and right along both ends of the positions. With a "boom" sound, a Japanese firepower point blocking the advance of the infantry of the Independent Army was bombarded by tank artillery, and although the speed of the advance of the independent army troops slowed down, the casualties suffered were much smaller.

Chen Geng and others originally planned to fight for a whole day, but in fact it was over in only one morning, and almost all the defense lines of the Japanese-Thai coalition forces outside Bangkok were broken through by the independent army, and the Burmese servant army troops, who had been following the autumn breeze, also captured a large number of Japanese-Thai allied troops and Thai civilians. The Thai armored units, which had intended to fight the Independence Army, were long gone, and they only met the Independence Army's armored forces for a moment, and they were destroyed and wounded, and now they can only cower in the city.

After receiving the war report and telegram asking for help from Bangkok, the Japanese cabinet and military knew that Thailand was about to lose eighty percent, and even Yamashita Fumi, who was far away in the Philippines commanding the operation, also learned about this. After Zhuo Fei inspected the battlefield with Chen Geng and others, looking at the prisoners of war lined up in the distance, Zhuo Fei smiled at everyone: "You fought well this time, you captured almost 3,000 prisoners in such a battle, counting those who were killed, there are not many Japanese-Thai troops in Bangkok." ”

Of the 3,000 prisoners of war captured by the Independence Army, only a small part of the Thai soldiers were captured, except for less than 300 Japanese prisoners, and the remaining 2,000 or so prisoners were all ordinary people who were instigated by the Thai royal family. Compared with the captured Japanese soldiers, the Thai soldiers in Hongxiang exercised the maximum limit of their human physical strength when they fled, and there were hidden Thai routs on the hills, in the woods, and in the ravines, and these routs had to be found one by one by relying on the Burmese servants, who were also familiar with the mountains and forests.

Once the outer line of defense has been breached, Bangkok is already like a shelled egg, which the Independence Army can eat at any time. Unlike the terrified Thai royal family, the Japanese troops who were ordered to garrison Bangkok were full of complaints, after all, they had hoped too much for the tens of thousands of Thai troops equipped with Japanese weapons before the battle. It's just that they just ignore a very crucial point, that is, no matter how sophisticated the weapons and equipment are, it depends on the people who operate them, and the Thai army has rapidly expanded its troops, so that the military quality of the soldiers has almost reached a negligible level.

The vast majority of the soldiers in the Thai army were forcibly conscripted from the countryside, and many of these soldiers, who ranged in age from 18 to 40, spent most of their lives facing the loess and relying on the sky to eat, peasants. The rapid expansion of the Thai army has led to a serious shortage of officers, especially middle and senior officers, as well as technical officers, and these positions are often held by senior officers in the Japanese army. The officers in the Thai army, on the other hand, were promoted on an ad hoc basis, and these so-called officers were at most soldiers before. In the absence of effective command, the soldiers who have been in the army for months do not know why they are fighting, and even using the weapons in their hands to fight is a problem, and the combat effectiveness of the Thai army can naturally be imagined.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhuo Fei will temporarily change the battle plan, and after conquering the outer defense line of Bangkok, he will first mobilize heavy troops to besiege Bangkok, and then attack other cities in Thailand, so as to put the Japanese and Thai forces in Bangkok in the final solution. In the last week of December, the gunfire did not seem to have stopped in Thailand, and the entire southern part of Thailand was completely chaotic, and the Japanese troops besieged in Bangkok were slow to wait for reinforcements.

Knowing that they might have been abandoned, the Japanese soldiers besieged in Bangkok were demoralized, and the counteroffensive failed to break through the enemy's encirclement for several days. Today, there is wine and today's drunkenness, and the Japanese army, which has broken its jars, not only robbed the ordinary people in Bangkok, but also sometimes robbed the dignitaries and dignitaries in Bangkok, and before the independence army could attack Bangkok, the city was already in chaos.

"Don't worry, let them fight in the dog-biting kennel first, and when they are bored on both sides of the fight, let's start attacking again." For those Thais who voluntarily surrendered, whether military or civilian, the siege of Bangkok by the Independence Army was just a practice, all of them were tied up and sent to the servant army for temporary imprisonment, and once the fighting was over, the captives were sent to the mines of Vietnam to be used as hard labor.
