Chapter 1684: The Last Battle Against Siam (I)

Throughout September, Gu Changfeng commanded the troops, took over the Siamese regime, reorganized the surrendered troops, established military management committees at the county, township, and village levels, and cracked down on large-scale bandits. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to prevent the Japanese army from landing in northern South China, in mid-September, Xia Jian's front army retreated to the Red River Plain, and the entire Siam war was handled by Gu Changfeng and An Jin.

After joining forces with the Marines and the Air Force paratroopers in Bangkok, Gu Changfeng immediately sent Fu Guanjie to lead the Third Army to the west, firmly blocking the road leading to the Chao Phraya River Plain in Khao Ai Mountain, Kanchanaburi, and the rest of the troops worked with An Jin's headquarters to completely sweep the entire Siam, and by the beginning of October, the situation in the entire Siam was basically stabilized, and the main force of Gu Changfeng's front army converged between Saiyu and Ta Meng, and the final battle against Siam could start at any time.

Phibun. The Song Kan people rebelled and left, but the rout troops retreating from all over Siam to Kanchanaburi and the police and armed mob withdrawn from Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Ayutthaya and other cities combined to the size of 16 divisions, and under the training of Japanese instructors, combat skills improved rapidly.

In addition, Phibun. Song Kan also carried more than 600,000 people from the surrounding areas of Bangkok, and now all of them have been withdrawn to the north and south areas of Santa Pass, and then they can also be supplemented by manpower from them.

When Gu Changfeng cleared the remnants of the armed forces in various parts of Siam, the Siamese army tried to attack the Srinakalin Reservoir Dam many times, once this large reservoir located in the Khao Yai Mountains of the Mae Kong River was blown up, the southern part of Kanchanaburi, Rakburi, Nakhon Pathom, Samu, Samu, Sakong and other places will become a Ze country, but under the resolute counterattack of the Anjia Army guards, the Siamese army's attacks were in vain.

The Siamese army's disregard for the safety of millions of people in the lower reaches of the Mekong River was exposed by the media, and the Siamese military government completely lost the hearts of the people.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of 5 October, Gu Changfeng issued an operational order to "completely annihilate the remnants of the Siamese army."

The three armies and directly subordinate units of Gu Changfeng's division, together with the mountainous clusters of An Jin, launched a general offensive against the Siamese army from the south and northeast of Kanchanaburi, respectively.

The commander of the 1st Siam Integrated Army, Khun Sha, whose headquarters was located in the town of Salakpa. Lieutenant General Kemp got the news from the front and asked anxiously: "How many tanks did the South China Army dispatch?" ”

"General, the number cannot be determined, but the entire front of our division's position is full of tanks, and it is expected that there will be at least three tank regiments." The commander of the 3rd Integrated Division, Nong Mo, who was guarding the front-line positions. Colonel Theron's voice trembled.

"Three tank regiments...... There are at least three hundred tanks, Colonel Theron, I won't say anything superfluous, you must give the other side a resolute blow in accordance with the anti-tank skills taught by the Japanese instructors, and in the current situation, persistence is victory. Our Japanese allies say that if we hold out for two more months at most, the situation in Southeast Asia will change dramatically, and we will need time to ......"

Kun Sha. Before Lieutenant General Kemp could finish his sentence, a busy sound came from the telephone, presumably because the telephone line had been blown up by a raining shell.

On the front line of Bilao Village, where the 3rd Integrated Division of the Siamese Army was located, the ground trembled in the march of tanks, and the forward position felt especially obvious, and the trenches that were not built well shook desperately, and the Siamese soldiers hiding inside were frightened and helpless. They looked at the Type 38 rifle in their hands, some grenades and grenades, and then looked at the other party's rolling torrent of steel, and their hearts were extremely sad.

How should this battle be fought? Isn't it for nothing to fight against the torrent of steel with flesh and blood? Once these tanks come over, what can the trenches do?

The commander of the 3rd Division, Nong Mo. Colonel Theron was thinking about this in his mind, and he put down the telephone and walked to the bunker, looking in despair at the front of the hill and the clusters of tanks rolling in at the front of the position below.

The position of the 3rd Division was flanked by mountains three or four hundred meters high, with plains and valleys formed by the alluvial waters of the Kaolun River of three to five kilometers in the middle. Nong Mo. Theron set up three blocking positions in front of the valley, guarded by two regiments, and placed artillery and reserves on the ridges on both flanks, ready to support the front line.

The Siamese artillery, in a panic, shelled the tanks of the Anjia Army approaching in front of the position, but as soon as many of the artillery positions were disguished and camouflaged, they were violently bombarded by the Anjia Army Air Force, the artillery was blown up, the artillery was killed, and then a large number of terrifying rockets flew from somewhere, shrouding the entire artillery position in fireworks.

The forces of the two sides have not yet been in direct contact. Theron lost two artillery battalions assigned to the division, which made his heart plummet.

The Japanese adviser on the side had a solemn face, and he had learned through the intelligence service that he had a visceral fear of the tanks of the Anjia Army, after the fiasco in Siberia last month.

"Yaga, hateful Shina man, cowardly, cowardly! There is a kind of fighting bayonets with us to see who is powerful, and only relying on fighter planes and artillery bombing, how can he be considered a hero? It's a coward to hide in tanks when attacking......." the Japanese adviser hysterically scolded.

At this time, the tanks of the An Jia Army had already approached the front of the Siamese army's position, and the tank guns began to roar, and an explosion sounded on the Siamese army's position.

Nong Mo. Theron consulted with the panicked Japanese advisers and issued a very absurd order, asking the Siamese who were holding the front-line position to charge, holding explosive packs or cluster grenades, and engaging the steel torrent of the Anjia army in a short fight, taking advantage of the chaos and waiting for the opportunity to blow up the tank.

Most of the Siamese soldiers looked at each other and did not want to die in vain, but the overseers set up their machine guns, and whoever did not charge was punished on the spot, so these Siamese soldiers shouted in despair, jumped into the trenches, and rushed towards the tanks.

However, they were greeted by a fierce fire of tank guns and parallel machine guns, and the armored car following behind the tank stopped, and while firing fiercely from the machine gun at the front of the car, the rear door was opened, and the armored soldier quickly jumped out of the carriage, picked up the automatic rifle, aimed it at the Siamese army, and began to shoot.

Soon, the charging Siamese soldiers fell in droves, and before they could let out a wail, the moving tanks and the armored vehicles behind them crushed these poor creatures to pulp. However, there was one lucky guy who followed his comrades in front of him and pretended to be dead when he fell to the ground, and when the tank pressed up, he pulled a cluster grenade and blew up the tracks of a Leopard II tank.

However, one tank stopped advancing, and the overall situation was not harmed at all, and the remaining tanks and armored vehicles continued to move forward, rushing towards the positions constructed by the Siamese army.

Nong Mo. Theron saw that the strength of a regiment rushing forward was wiped out in an instant, and his heart couldn't help but beat a drum, if it was consumed at such a rate, the division under his command would probably not take much time, and it would all become the soul of the tank tracks.

"Resist, resolutely resist!"

Nong Mo. Theron took his pistol and rushed out of cover, raising his muzzle and shouting hoarsely. Theron stood in the mountains behind the position, too far from the front line for the soldiers to hear what he was saying.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, even if there is a supervising team to supervise the battle, but due to the lack of effective anti-tank means, or the Siamese are not smart enough, they don't know how to hide in the trenches, let the tanks drive through the trenches and blast from behind, it may not be said that there will be some gains.

So, with unstoppable momentum, the torrent crossed the three trenches carefully constructed by the Siamese and advanced rapidly towards the village of Bilao, south of the town of Salakpa, and soon rushed into the village, where the bungalows and two-story wooden buildings were directly overturned by the tanks, and continued to move forward without the slightest stagnation.

It didn't take long for the village to be in ruins.

The 3rd Integrated Division of the Siamese Army suffered heavy losses under the heavy onslaught of the tanks and armored units of the Anjia Army. Theron watched this torrent in despair, ignoring the Siamese troops on the mountains on both sides, and directly marched along the flat river valley in the direction of the town of Salakpa, threatening the safety of the headquarters of the 1st Integrated Army.

Nong Mo. Although Theron tried his best, however, his command had already sent away two regiments, and even the overseer team was dead, how could he stop the assault of the steel torrent of tanks with only the strength of the troops directly under the division headquarters and the last regiment?

Nong Mo. Theron immediately called the communications staff officer and ordered: "Call General Kunsha immediately to inform him that the enemy's tank and armored forces have broken through the defense line of my old village and are marching towards the military headquarters, so that the military headquarters can immediately mobilize troops and strive to encircle and annihilate this lone enemy." ”

The communications staff officer saluted and left, and Kun Sha consulted with the Japanese advisers again, and ordered the remnants of the troops to quickly move closer to the mountains on the side of the division headquarters, and then retreat to the town of Salakpa, saying that it was not necessary to attack from behind, but to play the role of a surprise soldier.

When Nongmo. Theron had just assembled his troops in the valley below the mountain, when suddenly the sound of cannonballs breaking through the air was heard. Theron was frightened and immediately instructed his troops to evacuate to the two flanks, and although his order was given in a timely manner, a large number of people were still killed and wounded by the sudden shells.

Nong Mo. Theron and the Japanese advisor looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes. Could it be that the other side's tank troops have come back? But the shells were fired from the front of the position, not from the rear, could it be said that the second wave of attack forces of the squadron had already arrived?

The two were not mistaken, this time it was the First Group Army under the command of Wang Xulun, and the four motorized infantry divisions marched in unison, and the momentum was terrifying.

The attack was not superfluous, and the heavy artillery fire opened the way, followed by an overwhelming flood of armored vehicles and the infantry that followed them, shouting and making a sharp charge towards the remnants of the Siamese 3rd Integrated Division, which had scattered and fled, and the entire 3rd Division was scattered and unable to fight back.

Subsequently, the artillery brigade directly under the group army, under the cover of infantry, fired at close range and uprooted all the defensive positions set up by the Siamese army on the two flanks, but the First Army did not launch an attack on the two flanks, but directly passed through the defense line of the third division of the Siamese army.

The whole assault process took less than an hour, but it almost beat the 3rd Integrated Division to only two battalions. Theron is already a little desperate, the other party's offensive is endless, and if he suffers another blow, it is estimated that the whole division will have to go to see the Buddha!

It's in Nongmo. Theron was undecided, not knowing whether to order the whole division to retreat to the rolling Kauai Mountains in one breath to avoid the wave after wave of attacks of the An Jia army. Dano ran to him out of breath and said in a panic: "Divisional commander, it's not good, the front ...... Front...... Another South China army has come over, and it is densely packed with human ......"

Nong Mo. Theron was shocked, and hurriedly cannon to the lookout of the bunker that was blown up by the shell, looking at the An Jiajun who was launching a back attack from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, only to feel that the sky was dim, and now it was obviously too late to escape, the troops continued to fight hard, and their physical strength had long been exhausted, and they could not outrun the opponent at all, so they tragically issued the order to fight to the death.

The whole battle lasted less than half an hour, and the team of less than 800 people faced the fierce impact of more than 12,000 officers and soldiers of Zhang Hao's Fourth Division under the Second Group Army of the Anjia Army, and the equipment was far inferior to the opponent, so even if it occupied a favorable position, it was still like a wave in the sea, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Commander of the 1st Integrated Army, Kun Sha. When Lieutenant General Kamp was warned by the reorganized 3rd Division, and knew that the tanks and armored units of the Anjia Army had broken through the defensive line set up on the front line of Bilao Village and were rolling towards the town of Salakpa, he was shocked and frightened, and he clearly knew that although he still had two divisions in his hands, he could not stop the enemy's assault at all due to the lack of effective anti-tank weapons, and the defeat of the 3rd Division was a lesson from the past.

So, Kun Sha. Lieutenant General Kamp immediately called Phibun in the city of Sankaraburi. Song Kan, who reported to him the present sinister situation, finally said:

"Prime Minister, I hope that my troops can evacuate the town of Salakpa, because it is located in the valley plain, the terrain is open, there is no danger to stop, the enemy's mechanized troops can rush into our army's barracks with impunity, Kun Sha is by no means greedy for the world, I only think that with the betrayal of the two dog thieves, Phaya Song and Phayali, we now have not many troops, we must preserve our strength, otherwise even the Japanese will not hesitate to kick us away."

Phibun. Song Kan thought about it for a moment and agreed to Kun Sha's request: "Okay, I now order you to immediately lead your troops to withdraw to Tungpa to garrison and prevent the enemy army from crossing the Kaulon River. ”

Kun Sha. Camp gets Phibun. Song Kan's personal reply, relieved, immediately on the phone to Phibun. Song Kan assured: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, that our First Army will not disappoint you, and will definitely stop the enemy in the area south of the Kaulon River." After saying that, he put down the phone, immediately called the chief of staff over, and ordered the whole army to assemble and prepare to retreat.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 5th, after the 1st Siam Consolidated Army had laid a large number of mines in the town of Salakpa and set up numerous roadblocks, it immediately withdrew its entire army across the Kaulon River and built a strong defensive line on the riverbank, preparing to take advantage of the natural dangers of the Kaulon River to stop the advance of the An Jia Army.

In the early morning of the next day, the troops attacking on the southern front of the Anyi group completed the first phase of the offensive and occupied all areas south of the Kaulen River.

After Gu Changfeng received the good news from the front, he instructed all units to be on standby for the time being, and only after the engineers had prepared the equipment for crossing the river and negotiated with the air force before launching an attack.

At noon on the 6th, Gu Changfeng led the corps headquarters to station in Salakpa Town, where demining had been completed, to command the frontline battle at close range.

Looking at the northeast front, as early as the afternoon of the 4th, An Jin, who was in charge of the northeast fortification, had already led his troops to cross the Thaniantaung mountain range and approached the town of Kaken in the north of the Sinakalin Reservoir garrisoned by the Siamese army. After receiving the order for a general attack, six divisions of the mountain group, plus units directly under the corps, launched a fierce attack on the Siamese army.

"Boom-"

As a series of violent explosions came from the west side of the town of Kaken, where the Siamese army was stationed, and later extended artillery fire, the town was also affected, and the whole town was shrouded in gunsmoke.

Commander of the 2nd Integrated Army stationed in the town of Kaken, Seli. Lieutenant General Longeri, this monarch is Phibun. Song Kan's nemesis, the former chairman of the Bangkok Jockey Club, who was the commander of the Eastern Military Region before the junta lost Bangkok, is now severely shrunk. He was also appointed commander of the Second Integrated Army.

Hearing the heavy cannon fire, Seili, who had been physically and mentally tortured in Bangkok. Longri's heart tightened again, and he hurriedly asked the staff officer what was going on?

The town of Kaken is located in the western foothills of the Thanitah Mountains, which is densely forested, and it can be said that there are no roads to connect with the outside world, let alone bulky cannons to reach here.

It's because it's the safest place, Seli. Longri took the initiative to apply to bring troops to garrison here, and in the name of defending the Anjia army, they followed the mountain road east of the reservoir and killed them all the way from the dam to the south. But everyone knows that the east bank of the reservoir is full of cliffs, and even if there are several ancient tea horse roads connecting the north and south, it is difficult for large troops to pass, but now what is the sudden attack?

Seili. Longley quickly got the information he wanted: the Anjia army had arrived, the northern and eastern defenses of the town were under heavy attack, and the enemy's artillery did not know where to hide and opened fire, blowing up the forward positions of the 6th Integrated Division guarding the town.

After this array of artillery, there was another close rocket attack, this time the rocket attack completely plunged the forward position of the Sixth Integrated Division into a sea of fire, and many Siamese soldiers did not even see the shadow of their opponents, so they hurried to the Western Heaven Elysium to see the Buddha.

This fierce artillery bombardment caused the Sixth Integrated Division, which had been building trenches in a so-so manner, to lose a regiment of troops at once. The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Seli. Longri immediately made a decision and ordered to abandon the town of Kaken and retreat to the west of the Mekong River, relying on the natural danger of the Mekong River to block the advance of the Anjia army.

"Pass my order, all retreat, retreat to the town west of the Mekong River, the enemy is coming strangely, we don't know how many people they are coming, only by retreating to the town can we better defend the city of Sankaraburi." Seili. Lieutenant General Longry quickly gave the order to withdraw his troops.

Different from the commander of the 1st Integrated Army, Kun Sha. Lieutenant General Kemp, Seli. Longri and Phibun. Song Kan is an iron buddy, so he took the initiative to retreat without asking for instructions.

The 4th and 5th Divisions of the 2nd Reorganized Army were ordered to retreat, and after a little tidying up, they quickly slipped away. Longri made the 6th Division resist valiantly, and after nightfall it retreated automatically.

Although the officers and men of the Sixth Division knew that they had become outcasts, they could not withdraw from the front line if they wanted to withdraw at this time, the artillery fire was too fierce, and the offensive of the Anjia Army was like a storm, continuous, because the trenches were too shallow, and the kind of straight tunnels were built, it was possible to eat guns if they moved a little on the position, so the Siamese soldiers could only stay helplessly in their positions, enduring artillery fire while firing back.

However, as a certain sage said, these were more than 6,000 people alive, and even if more than 6,000 pigs were destroyed, it would take some time, so the Siamese 6th Reorganization Division resisted for more than six hours, and was not completely wiped out until nightfall.

These six hours are plugged forces. Longley gained precious time to escape, and the commander of the 2nd Integrated Army led his troops westward, finally crossing the Mekong River before nightfall and building fortifications on the west bank in an attempt to resist the On's onslaught.

After recovering Kaken Town, the 1st and 2nd Mountain Divisions, which had been at the forefront of the fortification, went to the Mekong River overnight, and An Jin and Liang Ziyan then led the main force of the mountain cluster and the personnel of the headquarters to enter Kaken Town.

"This Seili. Longri is not stupid, he knows that he is not our opponent, and he escapes without any ambiguity. An Jin couldn't help but joke when he saw that in the room that used to be the headquarters of the Siamese army, the battle map had not been taken down in time.

"Hehe, this Seili. Longri was originally a straw bale, in the city of Bangkok, commanded and dispatched two regular divisions to attack the Chinese area, and there were artillery units to help, but the result was not to mention the loss of troops, but also let our stormtroopers fight a bloody way, and our paratrooper unit connected to the head, and in the city of Bangkok for nearly a day, it can be said that it is a shame for soldiers! Liang Ziyan said with a smile.

An Jin nodded, stood in front of the map of the Siamese, stopped and observed, and asked the staff officer to call the pursuing 1st and 2nd Mountain Divisions to ask where they were now. After confirming that everything was fine, he sent a telegram to Gu Changfeng, who was the commander-in-chief of the campaign.

Seili. Like a lost dog, Longli fled to the town of Huizhen desperately, and in order to delay the pursuit of the pursuers, Seli. Longari sent three more battalions and set up blocking positions along the mountain road, and although another regiment was lost for this, the whole army finally withdrew safely across the Mekong River and came to Huizhen.

Seili. Feeling safe, Longri went to Phibun in Sankaraburi City in a panic. Song Kan reported the news of being attacked by the main force of the An Jia army.

"Impossible! No way! The town of Kaken is located between mountains and ravines, where did the enemy come from? Will they still be able to fly? "Phibun. Song Kan said angrily.

"I don't know, but I'm sure I'm telling the truth. If it weren't for the main force of the An Jia Army, where would they get the heavy artillery? There was also a strange shell with a flame tail, which exploded in a large area, and I saw with my own eyes that a platoon of officers and soldiers disappeared in my binoculars, and if I hadn't escaped quickly, I am afraid that I would have been left in Kaken Town! "Seli. Longry said with some frustration.

Rockets are not something that can be invented by imagination, so hear Seli. Longri's words, Phibun. Song Kan knew that his henchmen were not lying, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and asked: "After the town of Hui, there is Tong Yai Town, and then there is Sankaraburi, are you sure to hold the Mae Kong River?" ”

"I want reinforcements, my sixth division has been thrown at the town of Kaken, on the way to retreat, another regiment is left to block the enemy, and I now have only two divisions that are not fully manned. In addition, the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce, and I asked for artillery reinforcements, otherwise it would not be possible to effectively suppress the enemy's river-crossing troops......"

Phibun. Song Kan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll transfer two divisions to you, as for the artillery, I didn't expect the enemy to kill from the northeast before, and all of them were deployed to the southern front...... In this way, I will transfer you a newly formed mortar regiment. Remember, you must guard the Mekong River, otherwise military law will be involved. ”

In the early morning of the next day, the 1st and 2nd Mountain Divisions advanced to the east bank of the Mekong River, halted their advance, and confronted the Siamese Army across the river. Zhang Fenghua, commander of the 1st Division, and Huang Lixuan, commander of the 2nd Division, discussed together, decided not to give the opponent a chance to breathe, and ordered the division's artillery units to open fire on the opposite bank.

Although overnight, the Siamese army had dug trenches on the east bank of the river, it still lost quite a few men, which made Seli. Longri was so angry that he stomped his feet in the military headquarters, but he was helpless.

At noon the next day, the follow-up troops of the mountain cluster rushed to the east bank of the Mekong River, and An Jin looked at the enemy troops on the opposite bank with a telescope, and said with a smile:

"Now that our army has arrived, it is time to plan for the crossing of the river, and we ordered the sappers to start building pontoon bridges after eight o'clock in the evening, and this time let the 10th Division cross the river first as an assault force and occupy the beachhead on the opposite bank, and then the 11th and 12th Divisions quickly followed. At nine o'clock in the evening, all artillery launched a fierce artillery offensive on the opposite bank to cover the crossing of the Makong River by the whole army! ”

At the moment of the order, the officers and men of the 10th, 11th and 12th Divisions, who had been serving as reserves, immediately began to make use of the abundant forest resources in the mountainous areas to prepare wooden rafts and bamboo rafts for crossing the river, and the engineering units also began to nervously prepare materials for the construction of pontoon bridges and prepare materials in advance.

~~~~~~~~~~

: Hmm, it was hard work to conceive the campaign, and today it's too late to update!

The last battle against Siam must be written, otherwise they will occupy hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in a daze, and they will not even give an explanation, which is too much to say!

Well, strive to be in the top 50 and continue to plead with the brothers for their votes!
