Chonburi south of the city blocking position. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Less than ten minutes after Lu Linhai and Hu Junhao descended the mountain, a squadron of bombers flew in from the southern sky. This was a small unit composed of Q1 attack planes and B1 bombers, and as soon as it arrived, it shot up the artillery observation balloons raised by the Siamese Army, and the two Siamese Army observers who were observing the situation of the 1st Marine Division from a distance on the gondola were beaten into a rotten sieve by aerial bombs, and when they fell to the ground, they had become blurred pieces of flesh and blood.

After that, the bombers of this squadron were beaten violently at the Siamese position, and as the bombs fell, the Siamese positions let out a terrible scream, and the Q1 attack planes were even more arrogant, withstanding the Siamese ground machine gun fire, and the Siamese positions were strafed by machine guns and aviation machine guns, and the Siamese corpses were scattered all over the ground.

After a quarter of an hour of fighting, the planes rose into the air and circled over and over again above the positions of the Siamese, who, despite the heavy casualties, were left to "buzz" overhead, due to the lack of anti-aircraft weapons. However, at this point, the surviving Siamese have settled down, thinking that the opposing fighters are no longer free of bombs and bullets, and can finally take a breath.

Just when the Siamese were rushing to rescue the wounded and sick and bury the bodies of their comrades, bursts of cooking smoke rose from the side of the 1st Marine Division, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, the smell of rice overflowed.

Affected by the preparation of the 1st Marine Division, white smoke soon rose behind the Siamese position, and the fragrance of food wafted from the background, making every hungry Siamese soldier feel hungry. Most of them had not eaten since they boarded the train from Prachinburi in the early hours of the morning, and they had been starving for a long time after building fortifications and hiding from bombing. Now that he saw his opponent having dinner, his mind suddenly relaxed, and from top to bottom, the minds of most of the Siamese officers and soldiers suddenly shifted from their current work to filling their stomachs.

At this time, the commander of the 15th Division of the Siamese Army, Lieutenant General Chai Bataan, was standing on a two-story western-style building south of Chonburi City, observing the situation ahead, and when he saw this scene, his heart was very entangled, and he could not figure out whether it would be a conspiracy for the Chinese on the other side to dine at this time.

After thinking about it, Guess Bataan called the chief of staff of the division, Colonel Ban Hun, "Pass the order to go down and let the soldiers eat in batches, after the meal, while rescuing the wounded and sick, burying the corpses, and reinforcing the fortifications, all departments must not relax their vigilance, the opponent we are facing is very cunning, and if one is not careful, it is possible to lose everything!" ”

Another half an hour passed, the sun gradually set in the west, and the wind blowing from the Siamese army brought a strong aroma of food, and on the side of the 1st Marine Division of the Anjia Army, the tanks had entered the departure area, and the marines who followed the tanks had entered their respective armored vehicles.

Behind the huge queue of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, the black-pressed marines sat on the ground, closed their eyes and recuperated, no one walked around at will, no one made a loud noise, and the whole scene was solemn. Behind the officers and men was a large number of transport trucks, which was the main guarantee for the Marines' three-and-a-half-hour forced march of more than 70 kilometers.

A few minutes later, the first wave quietly left, and the second wave flew silently from the south, quickly taking the place of its companions.

The 13th Air Force Regiment, which was originally stationed in Qinghua, was stationed at the Sattahip Airport under the leadership of Colonel Zhang Shan, the commander of the regiment, and now the army can summon fighters to help almost at any time.

The Siamese army didn't know that the annoying "mosquito" above their heads had been replaced, "Let's eat—" In a burst of excited shouts, the Siamese position suddenly became lively. On the other hand, on the side of the 1st Marine Division, the cooking cars were blazing, and the aroma of rice and stir-fried vegetables was already exuding, but there was not a single soldier waiting to receive food around the cooking cars.

"Prepare to attack!"

The officers conveyed orders back and forth, and one after another the tanks and armored vehicles were activated, and puffs of green smoke filled the flat land at once, and the marines opened their eyes, all of them stood up, and everyone began to make the final preparations before the departure.

"Boom-"

The Second Fleet, which was cruising off the coast of the Gulf of Siam, was the first to strike, and two battleships, together with a large number of cruisers and destroyers, launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the Siamese positions south of Chonburi.

Thousands of red bullet marks rose from the sea in the distance, swept through the air, and roared towards the Siamese positions.

One after another, huge cannonballs smashed down on the ground, and the earth suddenly shook violently like a strong earthquake, and fireballs rose from the ground. In the light of the fire and the smoke, the clumps of earth exploded in pieces, flew into the sky, and fell in the distance.

The air was suddenly filled with the smell of gunsmoke, the improvised fortifications were blown to pieces, and the Siamese soldiers, who had not heeded the call of their superiors and gathered together for a meal, were suddenly bombarded with such a dense fire by the naval guns, and the result was destined to be tragic.

Although the entire bombardment lasted only five minutes, within these five minutes, the Second Fleet, under the guidance of air fighters, covered the defense line south of Chonburi with more than 5,000 shells in one go, and you must know that all objects of nearly 100 square meters will be torn into pieces, not to mention human flesh and blood.

Just when the Siamese people were almost wiped out, three red signal flares rose into the air, and after that, a loud trumpet sounded, and the roar from the side of the 1st Marine Division was like a flood bursting the embankment, and like thousands of horses galloping, the earth began to tremble, and a huge roar was made.

By this time, the Siamese troops had almost disappeared from the fire, and the few who were lucky enough to survive were staring blankly ahead with blood flowing from their eyes, noses, and ears.

Guess that when Vice Admiral Pataan heard the sound of naval guns, he knew that it was over, but he understood that holding on to Chonburi for a day and a night was the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Siam, Phibun. Song Kan's bottom line, even if he escapes at this time, he will inevitably be shot in a military court, it is better to die on the battlefield, maybe he can leave his name in history.

With this in mind, Chai Pataan led the only remaining regimental reserve in Chonburi City and rushed into the position south of the city.

In the dust, as the distance narrowed, Guess Bataan finally saw the true face of the enemy clearly, hundreds of tanks lined up in columns, each team was separated by more than ten meters, a total of twenty or so teams, forming a wide front of two or three hundred meters, each team of tanks was followed by an equally large number of armored vehicles, although this queue was not an absolute straight line, but as a whole maintained a large phalanx.

Behind the phalanx of armored vehicles, the black-pressed infantry could not see the edge at a glance, which made people tremble, and at first glance, the number of Ann Army marines seemed to be desperately large.

Tank! Armored vehicles! Infantry Cluster Charge!

When did the remaining Siamese officers and soldiers see such a formation? Coupled with the fact that they were already covered by naval artillery fire, there was not one in ten, and under the panic, many people were so frightened that they almost turned around and fled.

"Fire! Fire a thousand meters in front of the position! ”

Chai Badan's hands trembled, and he gritted his teeth and gave the order, trying to use artillery to deter the advance of the 1st Marine Division.

Just two minutes later, the southern artillery of Chonburi town was fired, and the thirty-six cannons of the Siamese army hidden in the dense forest behind the position were removed from their camouflage and opened fire on the wilderness at the front of the position!

The deafening sound of artillery continued, and the Siamese people in Chonburi were terrified and silently prayed to the Buddha, while the Siamese soldiers in the trenches, including Chai Pataan, watched with trepidation.

The shelling gave all the Siamese soldiers a glimmer of hope if the opponent retreated, so that it would not be long before the sky would darken, and whether they would retreat or hold on would be much more advantageous than if they were now directly exposed to the attack of the opponent.

Soon, the smoke and fire from the explosion of the shells formed a wall of fog, and the advancing marines completely disappeared from the sight of the Siamese soldiers.

Behind the Siamese position, the sound of explosions suddenly came, and the bomber group that had been hovering in the sky suddenly swooped down, and the Siamese artillery position was suddenly hit by a double blow from aerial bombs and aviation machine gun bullets, and all of them were dumbfounded in a short moment.

At the same time, one tank after another, breaking through the smoke, the hideous steel body, the mighty turret and artillery, quickly shocked the souls of the more than 1,000 remaining Siamese soldiers.

Soon, the tanks of the An Jia Army were less than a hundred meters away from the Siamese trenches, and after seeing these huge tanks almost effortlessly cross the hard-digging anti-tank trenches, the Siamese people's tense emotions finally broke out completely, and they turned around and ran towards Chonburi City behind.

The anti-tank trenches dug by the Siamese people, one meter five wide, one meter five deep, are naturally enough to deal with the Japanese bean chariots, and the tanks dispatched by the Anjia Army this time weigh more than 25 tons.

The tanks, like tigers coming out of the cage, and the trenches and simple civil fortifications built by the Siamese sweating rain, did not have the slightest blocking effect on the Leopard tanks, and if no one was around, they were on a rampage, and the fruits of the hard work of the Siamese officers and men for two or three hours were soon ruined.

Some reluctant Siamese soldiers fired at the tanks, and some threw grenades, but these actions were simply useless.

The tanks of the An Jiajun were aimed at the Siamese who were shooting, with machine guns and shells, one cannon at a firing point, the machine guns strafed past, and a platoon of people fell, and the Siamese army was greatly frightened, and the only remaining determination to resist collapsed.

A quarter of an hour later, the tank group of the 1st Marine Division rushed to the rear of the retreating Siamese and divided and surrounded it, most of the Siamese had lost their fighting spirit, they had never seen so many tanks in their lives, let alone fought against them. In the face of absolute strength, the weak nature of the Siamese people suddenly emerged, and they fell to their knees and raised their hands high to show surrender.

In this battle, the 1st Marine Division of the Anjia Army did not suffer a single casualty, and completely annihilated one division and another regiment stationed in Chonburi, creating an unprecedented brilliant record.
