Chapter 1650 Heavenly Danger Barrier

When the order to move the army came from Bangkok, the Siamese army in Prachin Buri quickly loaded the vehicles, of which the 15th Division took the first step and rushed to the urgent Chao Phraya estuary in time, and the 16th and 17th Divisions were loaded four hours after the departure of the 15th Division, and the two divisions totaled 15,000 men and returned to the city of Bangkok.

In order to resist the air raids of the Anjia army, each train is equipped with a special air defense unit, they are equipped with Japanese-made 88 type 75mm anti-aircraft guns and twin anti-aircraft machine guns, although these weapons can not attack medium and high altitude targets, but there is a certain threat to dive bombers and horizontal bombers - in this era without precision guidance, tactical bombing is carried out at low altitudes, correspondingly, like Siam, a country that has no military industrial enterprises and only relies on imported weapons to decorate the façade, air defense weapons are also small-caliber, high-rate guns and cannons.

At first, the westbound military columns were not disturbed too much, but as the distance from Bangkok got closer and closer, the number of warplanes of the An Jia Army also increased, and what was worse was that many sections of the road were damaged by the bombing of the An Jia Army Air Force, and they were repaired and stopped from time to time, so they were supposed to arrive in Bangkok at 7 o'clock in the evening, but now they are still grinding between Chachoengsao City and Bang Nam Biao Town.

Four trains were lying on the tracks, and the engineering units in front of them were rushing to repair, which was the sixth time since the departure from Prachin Buri, and the bombers of the Anjia Air Force threw bombs along the railway line, blowing up the rails like twisted flowers and twisting them into strange shapes.

At this time, the temperature in south-central Siam remained above 35 degrees, and the temperature in the carriages was as high as 40 or 50 degrees.

At this moment, the air defense sirens sounded violently, and a wave of incomparably large bomber groups appeared in the eastern sky, all the people were in chaos, the soldiers in the carriage wanted to jump outside, the soldiers outside wanted to hide in the carriage, and for a while, there was noise and noise everywhere.

In the face of the group of fighters of the An Jiajun, the Siamese officers organized air defense forces one after another, and all the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire together, and the sky "bang" exploded white smoke.

Without the slightest hesitation, the bomber group quickly lowered its altitude and pressed towards the four trains gathered here.

Colonel Jiang Jianxi, commander of the 5th Air Regiment, who was in charge of the bombing mission, drove the S3 high-altitude reconnaissance plane, circled in the air, and said:

"Attention squadrons, one squadron tackles one train, and five squadrons deal with stragglers fleeing in all directions. This time the enemy's train stopped on the plains, and there was no dense forest to hide nearby, so the goal was not just to delay the opponent's actions, but to eliminate as many opponents as possible! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

A neat answer came from the headphones.

One bomber after another began to form a formation in the air, and then swooped towards the train on the ground.

The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns arranged on the roofs of many carriages roared desperately, but their bullets were lonely in the face of the roaring group of Anjia bombers.

The Q1 fighter planes, which were distributed in various bomber squadrons, were specially aimed at anti-aircraft fire, and one by one machine guns hit the alloy plate of the aircraft, "crackling", but then these empty fires were dumbed by the machine guns and aviation machine gun bullets. As for the anti-aircraft guns, in the face of high-speed moving fighters, all the shells were empty, and as the aerial bombs fell, the anti-aircraft guns completely lost their effectiveness.

The Siamese people were blown up on the spot, and the bombs of the Anjia Army bombers were aimed at before they were thrown, and after a while, the trains of blown up locomotives overflowed with steam, and the carriages were blown up and overturned, and some of the Siamese soldiers hiding inside went to see the Buddha, and the rest were slightly injured to a certain extent.

The Siamese soldiers who had already gotten out of the car threw down their weapons and hid in all directions, and the ground trembled constantly under the explosion of the Anjia Army's aerial bombs.

Half an hour passed, and there was a mess near the four trains, the ground was littered with bits and pieces of disgusting things, and the fragments of guns were scattered all over the ground.

The result of the 5th Air Force Regiment was to blow up and paralyze four Siamese trains in one fell swoop, blow up 8 120-mm Siamese guns carried by the trains, damage 12 guns, reimburse more than 300 boxes of ammunition, and kill more than 1,100 Siamese soldiers and wound more than 3,000 people.

When the bombardment of the An Jia Army was over, the Siamese soldiers with mud or blood stains on their faces got up from the ground in disarray, and they were not busy cleaning up the mess, but looked to the east one by one, at the departing warplanes, which disappeared into the sky with almost everyone's grievances.

Due to the complete destruction of the train, the commanders of the two Siamese divisions had no choice but to reluctantly form a team and prepare to walk to Bangkok, and as for the date of arrival in Bangkok, only the Buddha knows.

......

In the war room of the General Staff, An Yi held a telegram, and after reading it, he pondered for a while, and finally nodded:

"Ling Xing's decision is correct, since the frontal sacrifice is very large, properly carrying out operations behind enemy lines can effectively reduce the pressure on the front, which is like the Sino-Japanese battlefield, the frontal battlefield composed of ** and the battlefield behind enemy lines complement each other, forcing the Japanese army to put their energy back to the rear, so that the front and rear combined, the battle will be much easier!"

Yang Fei said: "That's right, so our General Staff gave a direct order to the stormtroopers, and mobilized the five squadrons that were already behind the enemy to join the operation together, and the effect was good." Now the Siamese position is in disarray, the central part of Bangkok is full of gunfire, and the offensive against us has begun to slow down! ”

An Yi came to the map and saw that Chonburi, which was originally planted with the blue flag, had been replaced by the red flag of the An Jiajun, and the two small blue flags reinforced by the Siamese army to Bangkok were still stranded more than ten kilometers north of Chachoengsao, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied. After more than ten minutes, An Yi made an overall assessment of the current battle situation in his heart, and then asked unhurriedly: "Has the Air Force implemented the airlift in Bangkok?" ”

Yang Fei replied: "In progress, in order not to worsen the battle situation in Bangkok, Commander Huang decided to first airdrop a regiment to the golf course that has been firmly controlled by us, and then airlift another regiment before dark, so that there are three paratrooper regiments in Bangkok City, and even if the marines fail to arrive in time before 12 o'clock at midnight, the paratroopers can support the battle situation alone." ”

An Yi was very satisfied with the initiative of the Air Force, and then asked about the battle situation on the northern, southern, and eastern fronts, and knew that all departments were carrying out according to the plan, so he was completely relieved.

......

The Mae Mountains, located in the southern part of Mae Bei Bazi, are a natural barrier into the plains of the southern Mae Lao River. Although the average altitude of this mountain is only about 800 meters, it is steep because it lies on the plains and valleys, and there are two passes in the north and south, and there is a narrow road between the passes, which is the choke point to Chiang Rai.

Here the peaks and valleys are arranged alternately in the north and south, the terrain is steep, the road is rugged, the surrounding peaks are numerous, the dog's teeth are staggered, along the mountain range is all primeval jungle, the poisonous miasma is dense, the road is difficult to distinguish, the passage of people and horses is extremely difficult, so this main road can be called a master's pass, ten thousand people can not open.

Historically, Myanmar has invaded Siam many times, all of which have been blocked on the line of Mae Mountain, and after the establishment of the Chakuri Dynasty in modern times, a relatively complete defense system has been built in Mae Mountain, and now it is the turn of the An Jia Army to touch this hard bone.

When the 4th Mountain Regiment approached the northern pass of Mae Mountain, it had tested the enemy's firepower, An Shaohui concentrated all its artillery fire on the mountain pass, and then ordered a battalion to make a feint, but the Siamese firepower was fierce, and its accuracy was particularly amazing, almost bullets and shells, and the first battalion soon had fifty or sixty casualties, and had to quickly retreat.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after An Jin led the main forces of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mountain Divisions to the front of the Meishan Mountains, he carefully observed the Siamese positions with binoculars, and saw that the mountains around the pass were full of pillboxes, and most of the trenches were built in the mountains, forming a tight fire blockade network with the main position of the pass.

Although An Jin knew the danger of Meishan in the intelligence and was mentally prepared, seeing it with his own eyes still made him gasp.

Major General Liang Ziyan, the political commissar next to him, put down his binoculars, turned his head and said: "The enemy's pillboxes are densely packed, with all kinds of trenches and tunnels, plus rat-hole skirmishers, bird's nest-type tree firepower points and crab hole-type shelters scattered in the mountains. ”

An Jin nodded: "The enemy occupies a favorable position, coupled with nearly a hundred years of construction, the entire mountain constitutes a three-dimensional defense system, even if we are lucky enough to capture the front mountain pass, the enemy can still attack us from the mountains on both sides, and because the secret passages between the mountains are connected, the enemy may appear behind us at any time, and we may suffer heavy casualties if we are not careful." ”

Liang Ziyan thought for a while and suggested: "Now that the Southern Yunnan Mountain Army is behind us, is it necessary to ask General Jiao Guangxu to lead his troops from the Mekong River to the Lao River, along the course of the Lao River, and directly into Chiang Rai?" ”

"No!"

An Jin shook his head: "In this way, in less than ten days and a half months, I don't want to fight to Chiang Rai, at that time, the Siamese troops deployed in Chiang Mai have already built a defensive line along the Lao River, and the attack may not be much smoother than now!" ”

"What then?"

Liang Ziyan was a little anxious: "The order given to us by the headquarters is to enter Chiang Rai within two days, take Chiang Mai within a week, and occupy the second largest city in Siam. ”

An Jin put down the binoculars, turned around and left: "Let's go back and check the nearby terrain first, it's best to find a few local Chinese or guides from the Hongxingshe stormtrooper, let them explain the environment of Meishan, see if there are any things that can be used such as trails, and then let's have a Zhuge Liang meeting and come up with a plan of action!" ”

"That's it!"

Liang Ziyan strode to follow: "The 10th, 11th and 12th divisions only arrived late at night today, and the artillery will have to wait until tomorrow morning to be in place, even if we can't come up with a specific plan at that time, we will beat him!" ”

An Jin smiled slightly: "Artillery suppression is certain, and I will even apply for support from the army aviation unit if necessary." Against mountainous terrain, helicopters from the Army Aviation are the most effective. ”

"That's right!"

Liang Ziyan's eyes lit up: "There is also a missile brigade deployed in the car in southern Yunnan, if necessary, we will use missiles to strike at a fixed point!" ”

An Jin's eyes were resolute: "We will try all kinds of methods, the enemy currently has only one division for the time being, and if one dies, there will be one less, I believe that a good way to solve the problem will be found." ”
