An Yi blasted Liu Qing to sleep and returned to the General Staff War Room alone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the entire large room, Yang Fei and several combat staff officers were napping in front of the conference table, more than a dozen staff officers were discussing softly around the sand table, Deng Bin and several generals and colonels of the war department stood in front of the map, comparing the telegram to judge the situation, and the other Zhao Dongquan, Shen Ziling, Cheng Shiming, Fu Mingshan and others were nowhere to be seen, and it was estimated that they went to rest.

Seeing An Yi walk in, the sober generals all stood up straight, An Yi nodded, did not speak, just simply waved his left hand, signaled everyone to be busy, and strode to the map, and several staff officers of the war department hurriedly moved out of the way.

An Yi looked at the combat map that had already marked the situation of the enemy and us for a while, turned his head, and said to Deng Bin, who was standing aside: "I remember that in the aerial photos, two kilometers east of the Goethe-Institut, there seems to be a British-run golf course? ”

"Golf? What is that? ”

Deng Bin was a little inexplicable, and hurriedly asked the intelligence department to bring relevant information, read it carefully, and found that there was a large area of green grass in the number east of the Goethe-Institut, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be the small white ball sport that has gradually become popular among foreigners in recent years. I heard that the British also wanted to open a business in Syria, but the office refused to do so on the grounds that it was a waste of land and water. ”

Deng Bin's voice was a little louder, which woke up Yang Fei, who was sleeping at the desk, he rubbed his eyes, and when he saw An Yi standing in front of the map, he quickly stood up and came over: "What's the golf ball?" ”

An Yi looked at the photo carefully, pointed to the map and said: "Lao Yang, you see, two kilometers east of the Goethe-Institut, there is an Englishman's golf course, covering an area of about five square kilometers, half of which is flat lawn, and the other areas are arranged with stacked mountains, lakes and woods. From the point of view of location, it is located at the junction of Bangkok's Dong Daying and Hua District, which is just within the protection range of the paratroop troops and the Chinese Stormtroopers. ”

Yang Fei took the photo from An Yi's hand, glanced at it against the map, and nodded again and again: "Not bad, I was thinking about how to increase troops to Bangkok when I slept just now, if there is such an airport to transfer troops and transport supplies, we will be in an invincible position." ”

An Yi just wanted to speak, when a "report" sounded.

A communications staff officer originally wanted to hand over the telegram to Yang Fei, deputy chief of the general staff, who was specifically in charge of the affairs of the General Staff, but when he saw An Yi there, he didn't dare to slack off, walked quickly to An Yi's side, and sent an urgent telegram with both hands.

An Yi took a look, and his face became solemn: According to the air force reconnaissance, the Siamese army in Prachin Buri has returned three divisions by rail in time, one of which has arrived in Chonburi at half past one in the afternoon, and the other two divisions will also arrive in Bangkok in about three hours.

An Yi frowned tightly, stuffed the telegram into Yang Fei's hand, raised his head and looked straight at the map, and said to himself: "What the navy didn't say, although the enemy in Chonburi can bring some trouble, but in the face of my superior forces, it is a matter of time before the rout is defeated, and the problem is still in Bangkok - after continuous fighting, plus the division of troops to maintain control of the block, now at most two battalions can be assembled into battle, and the troops that can be directly controlled by the stormtroopers of the Siam Branch of Hongxing Society originally had 50,000 troops, but this time the incident happened suddenly, Unable to gather men and horses in time, the various departments can only stay in Siam to organize the transfer of overseas Chinese, the whole of Bangkok is about 10,000 people can be put into battle, after continuous fighting, now can be drawn out to fight less than 5,000, and most of them are local overseas Chinese children, combat effectiveness is not guaranteed, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. ”

After reading the telegram, Yang Fei immediately scolded: "What is the Marine Corps doing, three divisions have landed, and now five hours have passed, and Chonburi has not been taken, but the enemy's reinforcements have blocked the passage to the north, and the original plan to meet the division east of Bangkok before twelve o'clock tonight may be in vain!" Chairman, do you think in the name of the Central Military Commission and the General Staff Headquarters, send a telegram to make a request? ”

An Yi was also a little angry, and shouted: "Li Yufu-"

Li Yufu, the minister of communications who was in charge of communications next door, heard An Yi's shout, hurriedly ran into the war room, strode to An Yi's side, and saluted solemnly: "Li Yufu has arrived!" ”

An Yi said: "I want to communicate with the navy's communication frequency immediately, and I want to call Lu Guang in person!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Yufu trotted back to the communication room, and after about five minutes, he came back and said: "The frequency has been communicated, and now you can talk to Commander Lu with the phone in the war room." ”

An Yi came to the telephone and took the microphone from the operator:

"Cheng Guang? What are you guys in the Navy, why haven't the Marines taken Chonburi yet? Originally, according to the plan, after taking Chonburi, you quickly went north to occupy Chachoengsao and cut off the connection between Bangkok and Prachin Buri. ”

Lu Guang's voice was a little hoarse: "Commander-in-chief, Sattahip is about one hundred and fifty kilometers away from Bangkok, which is a straight-line distance in the air, and in fact, the two places are almost two hundred kilometers apart. It was precisely because of the urgency of time that our navy had to transfer all its mechanized equipment to the 1st Marine Division, which was also considered to be competitive, landed at 10 a.m., and set off from Sattahip at 11:30 a.m., but now it is only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, three and a half hours, and the whole division has forcibly marched more than 70 kilometers, and by the way, it has also swept the Siamese army along the way, and now it is only about 10 kilometers away from Chonburi.

"But please rest assured, the commander, our navy will not shirk its responsibility, the First Fleet will go north along the Gulf of Siam to cover the enemy's troops near the coastline, and our Second Fleet has moved east to Chonburi and can carry out artillery bombardment of this seaside town at any time to cooperate with the attack launched by the 1st Marine Division."

An Yi's face was a little pale: "Cheng Guang, I know you are very hard, but now the situation in Bangkok is very dangerous, we can't afford to have the slightest negligence, no matter what, Chonburi must be taken within two hours, before twelve o'clock in the night, I don't care which way you go, the Marines must enter the suburbs of Bangkok, this is a death order!" ”

Cheng Guang said loudly: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

An Yi put down the microphone, returned to the map, and said to Yang Fei and Deng Bin: "The navy has their difficulties, three and a half hours to force a march of 70 kilometers, although there are asphalt roads along the way, but this speed is already very good, I only regret that I did not develop a special landing ship, otherwise if a landing operation is launched at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, the three marine divisions estimate that they have already torn through the defense line arranged by the Siamese and advanced to the periphery of Bangkok......"

Deng Bin hurriedly comforted: "Who would have thought that much before they experienced actual combat?" After all, we don't know anything about the navy, and it's good to have such a performance now, and after this war, not only the navy, but also all aspects need to be summarized, and I think the next time will be much better. ”

"Hey—"

An Yi sighed: "It seems that I can only fight the idea of the Air Force." ”

Yang Fei nodded: "The five flying regiments arranged in Saigon, Phnom Penh, Battambang, Siem Reap, and Kampong Son must all cooperate with Bangkok to fight and strive to eliminate most of the Siamese army on the railway line east of Bangkok first. ”

Deng Bin added: "You can also make full use of that golf course and fly one or two regiments over, as long as we maintain two or three regiments in Bangkok City, the Siamese will not be pleased!" ”

An Yi looked at his watch and said decisively: "Time is urgent, just give an order according to this meaning, wait for me to go back to Xiaonanhai, Xu Ziliang and Wu Tingyan are still waiting for me there!" ”

Yang Fei and Deng Bin immediately drafted the order, and after An Yi signed it, they quickly sent it out.

......

At half past three in the afternoon, the main force of the 1st Marine Division under the command of Major General Lu Linhai entered the front of the Siamese Army defense line in Chonburi.

Although it is late August, the coast of the Gulf of Siam is like summer all year round, and the sun is still hot, and I don't know anything about it.

The Siamese reinforcements, who had just arrived, were mostly fortified in defensive positions south of the town, while the 1st Marine Division was stationed five kilometers away.

Under the scorching sun, Lu Linhai took a group of subordinates to climb a hill at the northern foot of Kaopa Mountain, and the entourage quickly set up a tripod with a pair of high-powered telescopes on it.

Behind the enemy's position, is Chonburi City, this city is located 90 kilometers southeast of Bangkok City, there are roads and railways to communicate with Bangkok, originally just a small fishing village, with the economic development of Siam in recent years, some Chinese enterprises in Chonburi to open oil refineries, cassava processing plants, rice mills, fish sauce factories, etc., gradually converged into a small city with a population of 40,000 or 50,000, after the war between Siam and South China, the overseas Chinese living here have been urgently transferred to the east of Khao Pao Mountain for refuge.

"Such a line of defense wants to stop us, it seems that the Siamese do not know the situation very well! Our tanks and armored vehicles, able to easily break through their trenches and easily go around in circles on their positions! ”

Lu Linhai smiled and joked to Colonel Hu Junhao, the political commissar next to him.

Hu Junhao is Hu Jialin's own nephew, graduated from the Boy Scout Academy in 31 years, and was assigned to the Jiangfang defense unit in 33 years after graduating from the Xufu Non-commissioned Officer School, after five years of hard work, from second lieutenant to today's colonel, although such a promotion speed is not without the influence of his uncle Hu Jialin, but it is undeniable that Hu Junhao is still very capable, otherwise he would not be able to pass the level of the Political Department.

Hu Junhao smiled: "Although the enemy's fortifications are a little simple, after all, they are built according to the standard positional defense mode, and they are temporarily built within two hours, and now they can reach this level, which shows that the opponent's commander is not an ordinary person!" ”

"Hehe, if they are given a little more time and their equipment is properly strengthened, they may be able to stop us for a while, but now, we only need a charge to easily take it down!"

Lu Linhai is full of confidence, the current 1st Marine Division, concentrated the mechanized troops of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions, a total of 100 Leopard I tanks, 50 Leopard II tanks, and 150 tanks to carry out a cluster charge, the momentum will be extremely amazing.

Hu Junhao suddenly said "Huh", Lu Linhai thought that he had found something, squeezed Hu Junhao away, came to the camera to take a look, and was immediately happy: "Dog, it's about to take the battle, and I'm going to have dinner at this time, and I look down on people too much!" ”

It turned out that in the footage, next to a fortification of the Siamese army, five or six soldiers were immersed in cooking, and the iron pot was steaming, apparently it would not be long before they could enjoy it.

Hu Junhao shook his head: "The logistics of the Siamese people are too backward, how much time is it a waste of time to make a fire and cook like this?" Where like us, to fight a war it is only necessary to carry canned food and dry food, which greatly reduces the pressure on logistics. ”

Lu Linhai's eyes rolled around, and he approached Hu Junhao's ear and muttered, Hu Junhao nodded again and again, with a sly smile on his face.
