The battle, which lasted all night, came to an end as the sky brightened and a large number of Japanese fighters took to the skies. Looking at the Japanese troops who re-entered the capital city under the cover of tanks, many people in the capital city who had been frightened all night were also a little more afraid.

It's just that for the Japanese troops stationed in the capital city, they also paid a lot of price in the melee last night. What angered the Japanese commander in Thailand the most was the casualty of a large number of officers.

Although they won the battle, the commander stationed in Thailand knew very well that the chaotic fighting last night had further aroused the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Thai military and people. He could almost imagine that it would not be long before uprisings everywhere would become frequent.

The situation in the Pacific is now tilting toward the Japanese army's disadvantage. Under such circumstances, the Thai government, which was unwilling to be dragged down by the Japanese army, seemed to have a different mind.

But for the Japanese troops currently occupying Southeast Asia, if they really fall out with the Thai government, it will not be of much benefit to them. This means that the Japanese army, which originally regarded Thailand as a large rear, will also become more cautious.

This night was undoubtedly a sleepless night for both the Thai army and the Japanese military leaders. But for the Anglo-American coalition forces in the British Indian colonies and the anti-Japanese troops in Spring City, they were very excited to learn the news.

In the eyes of these coalition generals, if the Japanese bowl and the Thai government really fell out in a full-scale way, then their next counterattack will be better fought. Without the support of the Thai government, the Japanese army in Southeast Asia will have a harder time.

Now the Allied forces in Australia are stepping up their counterattacks against the Japanese army. In time, it is believed that the war resources of the Japanese army will also be further depleted. On the Allied side, on the other hand, it seems that the war advantage is increasing.

The United States, which had fully activated the war machine, was shocked by the potential for war resources that had erupted. Earlier, the Japanese army was happy about the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, but now many Japanese generals can't laugh.

After learning about what happened, the commander stationed in Thailand faced the protest of the commander of the Thai army and said directly: "Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that we have all been fooled, and that batch of gold was not transported by us at all."

If we're going to ship that gold, there's a lot of chance, and we won't let you know about it. I think there must be a conspiracy in this, a conspiracy against our two countries. Even I found that this hand is familiar? ”

"What do you mean?"

"As you should know, in recent years, we have been robbed many times in our banks everywhere. It's just that I didn't expect that under the protection of a large number of military and police, it was still such a noisy city, and those people would dare to do it. ”

"Who are you referring to, Your Excellency the Commander?"

"A very mysterious force! According to the information available to our army, this unit should have come from China. ”

"But my soldiers, seeing that it was your men who had taken the gold, had killed my vigilance. How do you explain these things? Now that this matter is pushed to Huaxia, how do you think I can explain it to the people?

Most importantly, this gold is very important to our country. I talked to your army earlier, and I want you to return this batch of gold. But you have been refusing to keep this gold. Now that the gold is gone, how can I account to the people? ”

Regarding the questioning of the generals of the Thai army, the commander stationed in Thailand also felt very helpless. After all, now that things have turned into a mess, the Japanese army, which had confiscated Thailand's gold reserves earlier, wanted to take responsibility for the loss of gold, but I am afraid that it is unlikely.

But for many Japanese commanders, it is also an indisputable fact that the Thai army attacked their military camp in the city last night, causing thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers to be killed and wounded. On top of that, they had two more warships sunk.

In response to this situation, the commander of the Thai army said very directly: "When your warship was attacked, our navy was not on the warship at all. What's more, for our naval forces, you yourself have sent advisers to station.

If we were to attack your warships, how could you not know anything? Now you are blaming the attack on our navy, isn't it too much? In this way, how can I explain to the military and civilians at home? ”

In the end, the Japanese army seemed to feel that there was a feeling of yellow mud falling off the crotch of their pants, and it was not but was. When the special high school and the Thai military intelligence department launched an investigation, it was soon discovered that this incident was a little strange.

Judging from the results of the examination of the bodies of the Japanese soldiers stationed in the city, although those bodies had gunshot wounds. But the fatal injuries seem to be all knife wounds from cold weapons. And there were several corpses of the bank guards, who were also killed by cold weapons.

This shows that in the chaos of last night, there is a mysterious force that guides the situation on the battlefield. But in the final analysis, this has a lot to do with the plundering policy implemented by the Japanese army in Thailand, which has aroused the disgust of the Thai people.

When the Japanese and Thai militaries wanted to investigate the masterminds behind the scenes, Lao Chiang and the members of Yan'an, who were far away in Chongqing, received the news of a fierce battle between Thailand and Japan in the capital. Both of them seemed to have guessed who did this.

After learning the news, both of them couldn't help but sigh: "In the capital of a country, robbing a heavily guarded bank can also smoothly transport away a large amount of gold stored in the bank." It seems that his strength is beyond imagination! ”

Although it is a little amazed that Zhao Tiehu has made such a big move, for the leaders of the two sides, they both know that this matter is from the standpoint of the country, and it is undoubtedly something they are very happy to see.

Compared with the side of the Zhong Yan Army, after receiving a telegram from the Allied States that they were preparing to launch a counteroffensive in advance, Lao Chiang also instructed the troops of the expeditionary force. In the next battle against the Japanese army, try to preserve your own vitality as much as possible.

In a word, similar to the situation in the first invasion of Burma, the coalition forces completely used the expeditionary force as cannon fodder, and we must resolutely put an end to it. Even this time in the headquarters of the Allied Army, Lao Chiang also asked the generals of the Zhong Disaster Army to hold important positions.

If the Allied Forces do not agree, the expeditionary force currently in Yunnan Province will not be dispatched. Even the expeditionary units trained in British India could not move a single soldier without his orders.

The toughness shown by the Nationalist Government this time also surprised the coalition forces. It's just that in the face of Lao Chiang's direct questioning, the generals of the Anglo-American alliance army also blushed a little. After all, the first expeditionary force entered Burma to fight, and they were indeed pitted very badly.

In the process of multi-party consultations, Lao Chiang also said directly: "As a member of the Allied States, it is also our obligation to resist the Japanese army. But from the previous joint operation, you didn't see us as allies at all.

Even your troops retreated, without informing the expeditionary forces that were defending you at the front. If you don't accept our suggestion this time, it will be difficult for me to explain to my subordinates. After all, they are also military men, and they deserve respect! ”

In fact, many military and political dignitaries on the side of the Nationalist Government were somewhat puzzled by Lao Chiang's tough attitude this time. After all, falling out with Britain and the United States at this time is also very unfavorable to the Nationalist Government.

But Lao Jiang said directly to these subordinates: "As far as the current situation is concerned, even without their military aid, we can still hold on." But what would have happened to the Allied forces if we hadn't pinned down a large number of Japanese troops?

In the territory of China, the Japanese army has stationed millions of elite Japanese troops, and these troops are now held back by us. If it weren't for our containment, and these millions of elite Japanese troops were distributed in the colonies of the Allied Powers, what do you think the war would become? ”

As soon as these words came out, the military and political dignitaries who planned to be lobbyists didn't say much. However, the news that Lao Chiang fought for more rights for the expeditionary force was reported to the army, and he was still supported by many officers and men of the expeditionary force.

Only the committee member who learned of this situation looked at the southwest direction and said with some concern: "It seems that he also heard that story, so what choice will he make?" And what should our party and our army do next? ”

As for Lao Chiang's change on the issue of the expeditionary force, the committee members also guessed a little bit of the reason. Although Zhao Tiehu's arrival in Chongqing was very secretive, the Eighth Route Army still received some news.

Even the information that Zhao Tiehu and his entourage briefly appeared in Yunnan Province was also found out by the Eighth Route Army. But what really pleased the committee members was that after Zhao Tiehu left the previous time, a large number of military aid materials were also secretly transported to the Eighth Route Army.

The recipients of this batch of military aid were naturally the result of Zhao Tiehu's secret negotiations with the committee members. Even soon, another batch of technical troops will go to the Xinghua Army Base in Nanyang for training.

And Zhao Tiehu has only one request, that is, on the side of the Eighth Route Army, not to get too involved in the political affairs of Nanyang. After all, Zhao Tiehu knows very well that with the end of World War II, the world pattern will soon change dramatically.

Taking advantage of the current situation of confrontation between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army in North China, a series of military reforms are also being carried out within the Eighth Route Army. A number of main forces are also successively changing their outfits and training to further consolidate their advantages in North China.

Even compared with history, the Eighth Route Army is also organizing an elite unit and intends to start fighting in the northeast region. Before this force went to the Northeast, the intelligence department and the war team of the Wolf Warrior also began to infiltrate the Northeast.

In short, both the Eighth Route Army and the Zhongyan Army were carrying out some unknown changes, which really puzzled the top brass of the two armies. However, on the issue of friction between the two armies, both armies seem to have deliberately suppressed and become much more restrained.

Such a change is undoubtedly a situation that the Japanese army is very unwilling to see. But for this change in the situation of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army could not do anything. After all, the Japanese troops fighting in China at the moment also felt that their strength was not as good as before.

A large number of elite troops were consumed in the battle, and the combat strength of the new recruits was constantly decreasing. On the other hand, after fighting the Japanese army for many years, the number of veterans of the Chinese War of Resistance against the Japanese Army, which had the numerical advantage, also increased dramatically.

In this case, the advantage of war seems to be constantly tilting in favor of the Chinese anti-Japanese war forces. The most troublesome thing for the invading Japanese army is that the war resources of the current Japanese base camp are all tilted to the Pacific theater.

Without the support of the base camp, how could their strength be further increased?
