The efficiency of the Siamese army was so low that after leaving the city, the Siamese did not attack immediately, but lined up outside the city gates.

It took more than half an hour for a general to start a lecture, and after another ten minutes, a group of monks came out and began to perform a ritual similar to praying for blessings before the war.

Siam is a standard Buddhist country, and the status of monks in Siam is quite revered, and the most magnificent buildings in the average Siamese city are often not government institutions but temples, and pre-war blessings are considered Siamese traditions.

In fact, it is the same in Lanfang, there are also chaplains in the Lanfang army, but the biggest role of this pastor is not to pray, but to play a role similar to that of a psychiatrist.

Of course, Lan Fang's army advocates a multi-skilled, and a priest can also be a military doctor at a critical time, and when it really comes to a critical moment, the priest can also take up arms and go to the battlefield.

The monks of Siam were obviously monks, and they took all kinds of magic weapons, chanted and circled in front of the army, and then retreated to the city of Bangkok.

In the process of the Siamese people holding pre-war ceremonies, Zheng Lingfeng and they were already ready.

Speaking of which, there is a mistake here, Greif did not send too many troops to besiege Bangkok, and it was only a brigade of more than 8,000 people, which is really a bit stretched in terms of troops to besiege a large city with a population of 500,000.

At this time, the concept of the city is different from that of the 21st century, generally speaking, the urban population of the Republic of China is larger, and there are not a few people with a population of one million, but if you go to Southeast Asia, or even in Europe, let alone one million people, 500,000 people are already big cities, and one country has one.

In the whole of Siam, only Bangkok has a total population of more than 500,000 people, and others such as Phitsanulok and Pattaya are only a few hundred thousand.

On the plus side, the Marines don't need to surround Bangkok, they only need to take care of the three directions.

Bangkok faces the sea to the south, and the sea direction is the responsibility of the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet, not the Marine Corps. The road is also partly due to the Chao Phraya River, and the Marines actually only need to be responsible for two directions.

Even in two directions, the troops were still insufficient, so when it was discovered that the Siamese were out of the city, Zheng Lingfeng only managed to scrape together four companies of less than 500 people.

It's almost enough, in the face of the Siamese people whose equipment level and training level are all a mess, Zheng Lingfeng may be difficult to annihilate these 10,000 people, but it is not difficult to withstand the attack of the Siamese.

Zheng Lingfeng's confidence is not on land, but on the sea.

After the telegram for help was sent, two destroyers had already appeared in the sea south of Bangkok, and if necessary, they would provide shore fire support with 150mm naval guns, which was enough to make Zheng Lingfeng invincible.

No matter how long the road is, it will eventually come to an end.

Even if the Siamese were grinding hard, seeing that the sun was approaching the auspicious time of noon, the Siamese finally launched an attack.

As in the previous world war, groups of Siamese soldiers marched in crooked formations, rifles with bayonets ready, and marched tremblingly, accompanied by the rhythm of the snare drums, to launch a group charge at the positions of the marines.

This tactic dominated the previous centuries, but after 1917 it was gone, and the heavy use of machine guns and the dense deployment of artillery were enough to crush all group charges.

The problem is that the Siamese did not participate in the world war, and Rama VI, who was careful to survive in the gap between Britain and France, did not even send observers to Europe in the world war in order to show that he had no ambitions, which made the Siamese military's understanding of the war still stuck ten years ago, and they did not know what the objective world was like now, nor did they know what the current technology had reached.

It's understandable to think about it, what ambition can a country that grows rice all day long have to be?

The Marines are now armed with the Type 20 improved general-purpose machine guns, and in the face of these machine guns, crowd tactics make no sense.

Even so, Zheng Lingfeng still bred up his spirit and prepared to deal with the attack of the Siamese.

At a distance of one thousand meters, the Siamese entered the range of heavy machine guns, and Zheng Lingfeng did not give an order; 600 meters, which is the range of light machine gun attacks, Zheng Lingfeng still did not give an order, and it was not until the forward line of the Siamese entered 300 meters that Zheng Lingfeng gave the order to attack.

At a distance of 300 meters, this is within the optimal range of the B-2 rifle, at which point the B-2 rifle is at its most powerful, according to the instructions issued with the gun.

The fire was accompanied by rapid fire from 12 80-mm mortars mounted by four companies, which were even more powerful against the infantry, and the harvesting efficiency was no worse than that of crane guns.

To be honest, the whole battle was lackluster, more slaughter than fighting.

Under the combined attack of Lan Fang and the French, the Siamese were already frightened birds, and the fall of a large area of the country made the Siamese people even more demoralized, and the siege of the Marines made the Siamese soldiers in Bangkok live in the shadow of war all day long, which made this battle without any suspense.

When the heavy machine guns of the marines fired, the Siamese people, who had not yet seen the power of heavy machine guns, could still maintain the stability of the charging front, but the mortar shells fell in pieces, and the psychological defense of the Siamese soldiers finally collapsed.

Artillery is indeed the king of war, the 80mm mortar used by the Lanfang Marine Corps, the weight of the anti-personnel grenade is about 3.5 kg, the effective killing range of the shell is about ten meters, within ten meters, each shell will be broken into no less than 200 fragments, and the killing efficiency is really unparalleled in infantry support weapons.

Patches of mortar shells exploded in the Siamese front, each shell can basically create a no-man's land with a radius of about 30 meters, people outside the explosion range are better, they can finally see the eyebrows, and the ones in the center of the explosion are extremely miserable, and the blood-stained hula looks no longer human.

The impact of such a battle scene on the Siamese soldiers who were already on the verge of collapse was self-evident, and almost immediately, those Siamese soldiers who could still maintain a charging posture just now all turned around and ran, ignoring the cries for help of the wounded soldiers and the extended fire of the heavy machine guns behind them.

As for the officers in the battle line, they either fell under the sniper of the precision shooter at the first moment, or they just turned and ran, and no one did their duty at all.

Such an army is really unable to assume the responsibility of defending the country.
