Chapter 1635 Advantage to Victory
The embassy district in the east of Bangkok. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Ambassador, no, the Siamese soldiers guarding the street corner suddenly evacuated. Mr. Mack went to ask the garrison officer, and the Siamese officer said that there was a riot in the city and that the army needed to be mobilized to put down the rebellion! However, due to the urgency of the front-line fighting, it is impossible to draw more troops, and their troops are also among them! ”
"What? That's impossible! As far as I know, there are at least five divisions of garrison troops in Bangkok, so why do you have to transfer soldiers from the embassy district? ”
British Ambassador Brooke was taken aback when he heard the advice of his subordinates, quickly put down the phone, quickly came to the window, and saw that the street in front of him was empty.
Brooke felt bad, the city of Bangkok was in chaos now, and the distress calls all over the city were about to burst his phone, and he could even hear the painful wails of his compatriots before they died. News of the riots against foreigners in Bangkok had been reported to the country via radio, and the British government's foreign affairs department was nervous and was making serious inquiries to the Siamese government, but so far the situation did not seem to have improved. Now that the Siamese have withdrawn their troops, who knows what the mob will do?
The more Brooke thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem, so he immediately returned to his desk and contacted the ambassadors of fifteen countries, including the ambassadors of the United States, France, Germany, and Italy, and decided that the embassies would quickly send security teams to block the streets of the embassy district and prevent the mob from breaking in.
But the contact time was too long, and before the guards sent by the various embassy districts could be deployed in place, thousands of Siamese youths had already shouted the slogan "Foreigners get out of Siam", holding bricks, sticks, and machetes, and rushed into the street entrance of the embassy district with great momentum.
"Smack-"
Seeing the mob with machetes in hand getting closer and closer, the white guards in the embassy district quickly opened fire, and several Siamese youths who rushed to the front fell in a pool of blood. The Siamese quickly lay down or looked for a place to hide, and a mob armed with rifles immediately returned fire, and the streets "crackled".
Shocked and frightened, the ambassadors of various countries repeatedly called the Siamese government and demanded that the other side send troops to suppress the mob, otherwise it would be an act of war against European and American countries and would be severely punished.
A few minutes later, a group of Siamese soldiers wearing light green short-sleeved shorts, wearing large caps, and armed with 38 rifles appeared on the streets.
The white men who were resisting, their faces no longer as frightened as before, when they saw the appearance of the Siamese government troops, these white guards, standing out from their hiding places, almost with a smile on their faces, went to greet these "rescuers" who arrived in time.
However, the white guards were greeted with a grim smile, and before the white guards could comprehend anything from each other's smiles, the Siamese soldiers raised their rifles at them.
Gunshots rang out in the streets, smiling Caucasian people ready to greet the rescuers, and they did not understand to death why the Siamese government would shoot at them, and why the rescuers turned into thugs in an instant? Stumped the Siamese government, trying to make enemies of the whole world?
When the Siamese youth, who was originally squatting in the corner with his head in his hands, was stunned at first, and then seemed to understand something, they stood up one after another, waving the knife and stick in their hands, and howling excitedly.
That's great! The officers and soldiers also joined in the revenge against the aliens!
The Siamese people in Bangkok, after receiving this exciting news, shouted excitedly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and with the support of the army, they no longer had to be as fearful as before.
"Oh! Oh my God! ”
The ambassadors were in front of the windows, witnessing this terrible scene with their own eyes, and could hardly believe their eyes. But the mobs that stormed the embassies and told them it was all real! Siam's government army actually aimed a butcher's knife at the embassy! Targeting diplomats with pardon powers!
Almost instantly, the unarmed embassies were breached by the Siamese army, including the ambassadors, military attachés and staff of various countries, and quickly became the ghosts of the swords, as the heads were cut off one by one, the bubbling blood stained the ground of the embassy district.
However, no one knows that several cameras set up by the Hongxing Society on the flower stands, eaves and stairwells in the embassy area have faithfully recorded all this.
......
At the same time as the Embassy Quarter fell, the Siamese blockade in the Hua District retreated, and then piled sandbags at the intersection of Jagava Road and Rama IV Road, 500 meters away.
"No, Captain, why did the Siamese retreat?"
Liu Wei, the leader of the second squadron of the Bangkok stormtroopers of the Hongxing Society, who was in charge of guarding the Chinese area, came to a back street and found the captain Yun Yue who was making a phone call to report to the headquarters of the northern front in the renovated grain store.
Yun Yue put down the microphone, turned his head and said: "The situation is not right, the gunshots coming from outside the east gate are very strange, it seems to be from the embassy area, tell the brothers to be vigilant, the Siamese people may ......"
"Whoa—"
At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from outside, Yun Yue's face changed greatly, and he pulled Liu Wei to hide in the corner of the wall, with a loud "boom", a grenade hit the open space in front of the window, and the ground trembled vigorously, and the shrenchnel splashed and the air wave that set off blew the window to pieces.
Subsequently, a continuous burst of firelight burst out, and the entire Hua District was covered by the rumbling sound of cannonballs, and many houses were pierced by shells, igniting a raging fire, and thick gunpowder smoke reached into the sky.
"Not good!"
Yun Yue's face became ugly, and he said loudly to Liu Wei: "The Siamese must have used the army, and the brothers must resist it, once the street entrance is lost, it will be related to the lives of more than 100,000 Chinese." ”
Liu Wei nodded vigorously, and the cat got up and rushed out.
At the same time as the use of mountain artillery and field artillery shelling, the battle of the Siamese army to attack the Chinese area had already begun. The Siamese army used the makeshift sandbag position as a cover, and used mortars to carry out a short and intensive artillery bombardment of the two barricades in the north and south guarded by the Hung Xing She Stormtrooper, but due to the restrictions of the terrain, most of the shells fell on both sides of the street, although it caused great damage, but did not cause too many casualties to the Hung Xing She stormtroopers guarding here.
In the billowing smoke of gunpowder, about a battalion of Siamese troops had appeared at the other end of the street, and then vigorously advanced along both sides of the street.
Liu Wei, who had just returned to the headquarters of the Second Squadron, turned around and ordered: "Inform the anti-tank fire arranged on the tall buildings on both sides, and try not to open fire until it is absolutely necessary, and these Siamese monkeys will be dealt with head-on!" One of the stormtroopers answered, turning to go out the door.
On the front-line position, Zhang Xian, the leader of the stormtrooper, lay behind the sandbag, staring at the enemy who was getting closer and closer on the opposite side. As the distance continued to shrink, Zhang Xian felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and his hand holding the gun was already covered with sweat. Zhang Xian, a native of Bangkok, joined the Hung Hing Society, underwent a year of training in Hong Kong, and because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to squad leader and awarded the rank of second lieutenant, which was under the jurisdiction of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff.
The Siamese were only a little over a hundred meters away from the barricades, and still had no intention of making a charge, but continued to advance quickly using the firing blind spots created by the crooked streets.
Zhang Xian's throat was a little dry, and he whispered to the brothers behind the barricades: "You are not allowed to shoot without an order!" Bring the enemy closer and fight again! ”
The stormtrooper squad led by Zhang Xian had more than 150 people, which was equivalent to a company of An Jiajun. Now that he had to use a company to deal with a battalion of the Siamese army, Zhang Xian still inevitably felt a little nervous.
After the Siamese army continued to advance for dozens of meters, it finally stopped, because the section of the street that finally entered the Hua District became straight, and no matter how they went, they would be exposed to fire, and after gathering the ranks a little, with the hoarse shouts of the grassroots commanders, the Siamese soldiers jumped out from both sides of the street, lined up in a dense formation, howled and began to charge, and the Brown machine guns and crooked machine guns deployed in the back opened fire at the same time to cover.
"Hit-"
Zhang Xian roared, and on the barricades, the windows and roofs on both sides, all kinds of weapons began to shoot at the same time, and the entire front of the street was immediately shrouded in a cloud of gunsmoke.
The dozen or so Siamese soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground and became the first victims, and the enemy behind did not pay any attention to the rain of bullets flying around them, and continued to howl and pounce, and after falling dozens of people, they finally rushed to the front of the barricade made of horse-drawn carriages, furniture, and grain bags.
Some of the Siamese soldiers looked for cover on the spot, or simply lay on the road and fired at the stormtroopers of the Hung Xing Society guarding the junction to cover the other Siamese people in destroying the barricades.
Although the accuracy of the Siamese soldiers was very problematic, it was better than the large number of people, and a machine gunner lying next to Zhang Xian suddenly tilted his head and fell on his side on the sandbag, blood mixed with white brains, coming out of his forehead.
With the lack of a general-purpose machine gun and a much weaker firepower, the Siamese took advantage of this opportunity to quickly destroy the barricades, and then rushed forward with bright bayonets.
Don't let the enemy get close!
Zhang Xian felt as if his head had exploded, reached out and pulled the general-purpose machine gun, and while fighting back, he said loudly: "Brothers, throw grenades!" ”
At this time, the general-purpose machine guns arranged in the second barricade behind began to shoot deadly tongues of fire, and the momentum of the Siamese army's charge was slightly curbed, and then dozens of grenades flew out from behind the sandbags and fell into the crowd of Siamese troops dozens of meters away.
With the sound of violent explosions, the dwarf Siamese people were blown to pieces, and the monkey soldiers in the center were blown to pieces.
Zhang Xian's eyes were red, and he yelled: "Beat the monkey cub back!" With that, holding the general-purpose machine gun, he stood up from behind the sandbag and fired fiercely at the front, and the other brothers on the first-line fortress also opened fire, and the fierce fire pressed the Siamese people almost unable to raise their heads, and the Siamese who had lost the opportunity had to retreat in panic.
After this round of attack, the Siamese army lost at least more than 200 corpses, and the remaining seventy or eighty Siamese soldiers carried the wounded and corpses under the cover of machine-gun fire, and retreated after a short time behind sandbags at the street corner on the other side.
In the rear, Liu Wei, the leader of the second squadron of the stormtrooper, who had been paying attention to the progress of the battle, was relieved and immediately commanded the brothers to clean up the battlefield. The results of the battle were soon tally to be told, and in this wave of Siamese attacks, eight brothers were killed, sixteen were seriously wounded, and thirty-four were lightly wounded. After repairing the fortifications and sending away the bodies of the wounded and fallen brothers, the brethren of the stormtroopers returned to their bunkers.
Behind the street where the fire was fought in the Chinese area, the Chinese were spontaneously organizing themselves to extinguish the fires and save people, many shops were vacated to house the wounded, and young and middle-aged people were organized to transport ammunition and materials to the front line. When necessary, they would take weapons, reinforce the front line, and use their bodies to block the Siamese attack, with their parents and sisters behind them, and there was no way to retreat.
Half an hour later, the Siamese army, which had replenished its strength, launched another attack, and because the artillery bombardment was not satisfactory, the Siamese did not open fire before the charge, and about a regiment of Siamese soldiers rushed directly along the road under the cover of four Type 95 light tanks purchased from Japan.
Liu Wei, the leader of the No. 2 Squadron of the stormtrooper, who was tasked with guarding the street, saw the hideous faces of the Siamese soldiers and the shining spears on the Type 38 rifles from the telescope, and had a premonition that the enemy was determined to succeed in this attack, so he hurriedly took the reserve team and rushed towards the first barricade.
The tanks of the Siamese army, like bison with torches on their buttocks, rushed up to the barricades as if no one was around, and the Siamese infantry who followed behind also howled with excitement, and the weapons in their hands spewed out strips of flames, which, together with the tanks' machine guns, were intertwined into a deadly net of fire.
The brethren of the Hung Xing She stormtroopers hid behind cover and fought back, but most of the bullets hit the Siamese tanks and could not inflict effective casualties on the enemy.
Seeing that the Siamese tanks were about to rush to the front of the barricades, the situation was extremely critical, and on the upper floors on both sides, four rockets were suddenly launched, the rockets were fast and urgent, and they accurately hit the turret of the tank.
With an even more violent explosion, the turrets of the four tanks flew one after the other.
Another wave of rockets fell, sending stumps and severed arms of Siamese people flying all over the sky. The rest of the Siamese were panicked by the sudden blow and fired aimlessly at the buildings lining the street, but they were greeted by a rain of mortar shells behind the second barricade.
Since the orientation had already been determined, the mortar gunner only had to fire shells at a set rate of fire. Since most of the stormtroopers in Hongxingshe were trained by instructors sent by the An Jiajun, the mortar gunners fed with shells fired 10 times a minute, and the first hit rate had to reach 60 percent to be considered passable, and the 24 mortars fired intensively, and the Siamese people who poured into the streets suffered and their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the entire street of four or five hundred meters instantly became a hell on earth.
Liu Wei, the squadron leader who rushed to the second barricade, saw a rare opportunity, and hurriedly ordered all the general-purpose machine guns to fire to suppress the enemy, and at the same time led the brothers of the two squads to run forward to reinforce Zhang Xian's team.
The stormtroopers behind the barricades took the opportunity to counterattack, and dozens more Siamese soldiers who were hiding from the shelling on both sides of the street were killed. At this time, the Siamese artillery counterattack began, this time the target was the mortar position of the stormtroopers of the Hongxingshe, the Siamese used sixteen 75mm field guns to cover the fire, the mortar gunners on the Hongxingshe side were inexperienced and could not dodge, and suffered heavy losses.
A major general of the Siamese army, hiding in the rear, shouted loudly, and directed the Siamese to use the burning tanks and the recesses of the streets as cover to launch an attack on the Chinese area: use mortars to suppress the general machine guns of the barricades, buildings and roofs on both sides, suppress the fire, use Brown machine guns and crooked machine guns, and constantly shoot at the heavy fire points hidden in the tall buildings, beating several bazooka players to the point that they can't raise their heads, and the rest of the Siamese soldiers have aimed at the front barricades to shoot, and the dense rain of bullets has smashed the rudimentary fortifications.
At first, the brethren of the SA were able to shoot at the enemy, but as time passed, the superiority of the Siamese army in numbers and firepower began to come into play, and gradually suppressed the barrage of SA.
Seeing this, the Siamese Major General, who commanded the battle, did not hesitate to give the order to charge, and another regiment of Siamese entered the battle.
The Siamese soldiers quickly assembled and, under the cover of fire from the rear, launched a cluster charge in a dense formation.
Behind the first barricade, the general-purpose machine gun roared angrily, constantly strangling lives, but there were too many Siamese, and the brethren of the stormtrooper threw three waves of grenades in a row, but they still could not stop the Siamese from advancing, and the Siamese in front fell, and the latter rushed up even more frantically, and soon rushed to the front of the barricade.
A Siamese man with a bayonet had just rushed through a gap that had been blown open when he was immediately slashed to death by a brethren from one of the stormtroopers, but before he could draw his machete, a Siamese who had jumped onto the barricade condescendingly stabbed him in the chest.
The Siamese, who had superior forces, rushed in through the gaps, ends and tops of the barricades, and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the members of the Hung Hung Hung She stormtroopers. The Siamese people were not good at stabbing skills, but they were better than the number of people, often using five or six people to deal with one stormtrooper, although the cost of paying two to three times, but the effect was remarkable, and the first line of defense was already in jeopardy.
At this critical moment, the two squads led by squadron leader Liu Wei rushed up in time, and after the brothers fired a bullet, they rushed into the enemy bush with bayonets, dozens of Siamese fell directly under the muzzle, and the rest of the Siamese screamed and pounced, ignoring their comrades who fell to the ground.
With the continuous replenishment of Siamese soldiers in the follow-up, the balance of war tilted again, and after falling sixty or seventy people, the brethren of the stormtroopers of Hongxing Society finally could not resist and retreated step by step.
At this time, a Siamese man suddenly rushed over from the oblique thorn, and the bright spear pierced the weakness of the squadron leader Liu Wei, Liu Wei raised his hand to shoot, and the Siamese soldier's chest immediately had an extra blood hole, and his steps slowed down, and then let out a wolf-like howl, using all his strength, took a step forward, and completed the stabbing action before death came.
Liu Wei turned his body to the side, and although his body dodged, his right hand holding the gun was stabbed, and the shell gun immediately fell to the ground. In desperation, he hurriedly bent down, and had just picked up a rifle with his left hand, but before he could straighten up, he was hit hard on the ass and fell to the ground. The Siamese who attacked him stepped on his back with one foot and raised his bayonet and stabbed it hard. A brethren from the stormtroopers of the Hongxing Society next to him hurriedly flew up with a kick to kick the enemy away, and then with a beautiful thrust, he pierced the Siamese monkey in half.
A steady stream of Siamese soldiers broke through the first barricade, and the SA soldiers fought and retreated, gradually approaching the second line of defense. The stormtroopers in the rear did not dare to reinforce with firepower for fear of injuring their own men by mistake, so they could only pick up their bayonets and run forward to help the battle, but even if they arrived in time, it was difficult to resist the continuous offensive of the regular army of the Siamese as many as two regiments.
At this critical moment, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out from behind the Siamese people, and groups of Siamese soldiers were knocked to the ground.
It turned out that Yun Yue, the captain of the stormtrooper, saw that the situation was not right, and immediately transferred two squads of soldiers from the rear, broke through the rooftops on both sides of the street to the first barricade, and then condescended and concentrated fire on the Siamese soldiers.
The sudden attack knocked the Siamese unconscious, thinking that they were encircled, and finally panicked and turned around and fled.
Seeing this, Liu Wei was in great spirits, and immediately ordered a counterattack, the general-purpose machine guns arranged behind the position and the mortars that transferred the artillery positions, and at the same time fired at the back of the Siamese, and the firepower points hidden in the tall buildings also joined the battle group in due time, and one rocket after another was fired into the Siamese army crowd, and the Siamese who suffered heavy losses fought and retreated, and when they retreated to the starting position, the Siamese of the two regiments were left with less than one battalion.
Similar to the battle at the North Exit of the Hua District, at the intersection of Rama IV Road and Anliju Road at the South Entrance of the Hua District, fierce fighting also broke out, but the efforts of the stormtroopers of the Hung Xing Society on guard did not allow the Siamese to move forward.
......
The sun is on the west, and the air battle on the sea surface of Qiangdao has entered a critical stage.
Just as the Siam Air Force fighters arrived above the combat airspace, the reinforcement fighters of the five squadrons of the 2nd Air Regiment of the Anjia Army also arrived in the airspace almost at the same time.
In order to save the fate of the navy, the Siamese threw in all their fighters in one fell swoop, among which the Siamese pilots, who flew the most advanced Hayabusa fighters, underwent half a year of hellish training in Japan, and from the 180 pilots, 12 were finally selected, and it can be said that all of them were elite.
The Falcon fighter has first-class speed, climb and grappling performance, but the dive is extremely poor, one-on-one, and the A26 is on par with the A26, which can have a certain advantage in firepower, but compared with the A27 developed specifically for the Hayabusa fighter, it is much worse.
In this chaotic air battle, the flexibility of the Hayabusa fighter did cause some trouble to the Anjiajun Air Force, especially the bulky B2 bomber, which became the prey of the Hayabusa fighter. An Jiajun had to separate part of the A27 and bite the Falcon fighter, but in this chaotic scene, the performance of the Falcon fighter was fully displayed, like a slippery loach, which could not be caught.
Hundreds of fighters were in a mess, flames erupted from time to time in the sky, and many fighters were planted on the surface of the sea with thick smoke in tow. But now that the battle on the sea has been decided, the remaining dozen or so warships of the Siamese Navy are desperately retreating to the Qiangdao Military Port, trying to use the fortress artillery in the harbor to deter the South China Navy.
Now the waters south of Qiangdao have become the world of the South China Navy, and the pilots of the An Jiajun can get timely rescue after parachuting, but the Siamese pilots can only look at the mood of the search and rescue boats sent by the navy.
Major General Tan Ge, the commander of the 1st Air Regiment and a meritorious pilot, saw that the bombers were useless, and that leaving them would get in the way, so he immediately said to the microphone:
"The 6th to 10th squadrons of bombers immediately returned home, and once they found that the enemy planes were pursuing, they immediately dived to get rid of them, and the 1st and 2nd squadrons of fighters escorted back to intercept the pursuing Siamese fighters and ensure the safety of the bomber group. The rest of the fighters continue to destroy the enemy. ”
As the B2 bomber group broke away from the battle circle, the entire battlefield suddenly became much empty.
The bombers of the Siam Air Force were basically horizontal bombers, unable to carry out dive bombing, and posed little threat to the South China warships, but because the bombers of the An Jiajun left, they became a live target for fighters, and the casualties suddenly increased.
Navy Commander Lu Guangzhan was in the command cabin, turned on the air force's radio frequency, and said to Tange: "General Tan, in five minutes, the battleship will conduct a concentrated anti-air fire." Now on the watch, 16:38:32 Beijing time, I hope you can avoid it in about four minutes. ”
"Received—"
Tan Ge replied as he piloted the A26 fighter to catch up with a Mitsubishi 97 bomber, pressed the motor gun button, and the 23mm cannon fired a string of shells, which hit the Mitsubishi bomber into flames, whimpering and rushing down to the sea.
"Dada-da-"
The sound of a string of aviation machine guns came from his ears, Fan Zigang hurriedly dived, turned his head to look at the electronic display on the bridge, and found that there was a small black dot on the screen, and hurriedly pulled up in a 360-degree circle, and quickly circled to the back of the fighter plane that shot at him, and found that it was a Falcon fighter.
The pilot of the Hayabusa, knowing the inferiority of his aircraft, did not follow the dive, but stared at another A26, not realizing that the crisis was coming. Tan Ge smiled coldly, and the 12.7mm large-caliber aviation machine guns on the wings on both sides opened fire together, and with a loud "bang", the Falcon fighter deserved the title of "air lighter", exploded into a fireball, and disintegrated in the air.
Tan Ge looked at the time and saw that there were still three minutes left, and he dived again, left the battlefield after a certain distance of level flight, and issued an order in the climbing altitude: "Everyone dive or level fly to withdraw from the battle circle, and get out of the range of our navy's air defense artillery within one and a half minutes...... Repeat ......"
There was a strange scene in the fierce air battle that was going on, and the air force of the Anjia Army, which had the upper hand steadily, actually took the initiative to get rid of the airspace of the air battle and flew in all directions to the east, west, north and south.
Just when most of the Siamese pilots were rejoicing, hundreds of cannons were fired on the sea, and the anti-aircraft guns of five battleships, eight cruisers, and sixteen destroyers rang out together, adding up to more than 500 secondary guns, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns. It is important to know that the secondary artillery and anti-aircraft guns are all scattered grenades that are equipped with timing fuses and can explode on their own at a certain time, and the scattered grenades are filled with black explosives, small steel balls, steel columns, steel arrows, etc., which can explode in and near the predetermined target, with a large killing area and dense firepower.
A salvo down, the entire sky was almost enveloped by flying small steel balls, steel columns, steel arrows, because it was too sudden, one after another Siamese fighters did not have time to dodge, quickly hit by dense explosion fragments, like a fireworks, was torn into countless fragments, flying flames from all directions to the sea.
The explosions in the air one after another, coupled with the continuous rise of scattered grenades, are brilliant and beautiful.
Hearing the violent explosion, some Siamese fighters who were chasing the An Jiajun fighters out of the explosion circle looked back in horror only to find that the entire air was exploding and burning, and the partners they had relied on had already suffered a brutal slaughter. At this time, the fighters of the An Jiajun had turned back, this time without any reservations, and the fleet of the An Jiajun also used their trump card, and the overwhelming rockets flew out from under the wings, flying towards the pursuing Siamese fighters like meteors.
"Boom—"
Another violent explosion was heard!
As the sky once again burst into brilliant fireworks, the remnants of the Siam Air Force were wiped out. The rest of the fighters saw that the situation was not good, and fled to the north sky in confusion.
At this time, the fuel of the first wave of fighters had run out of fuel and had to turn back, and the remaining fighters followed the Siamese fighters all the way north, heading towards Bangkok.
Since then, the air battle has basically been decided, and the Siamese Air Force has almost lost most of its air strike power, and then it can only perish in fear.
......
The slanting sun falls in the west, and the poetry combs the wind battlefield.
After more than four hours of fierce fighting, when the mechanized troops of the An Jia Army penetrated the front of the Siamese army, the Siamese commander realized that his rear route had been cut off by the South Chinese army.
As the sun slowly set below the horizon, the Siamese army was divided and surrounded by the intruding An Jia army.
The ensuing battle was more like a one-sided massacre, in the twilight, the Siamese army, which fled for its life, was killed by the An Jia army by the river, on the grass, and under the hillside, and more than 40,000 people in five divisions of the Siamese army were disintegrated little by little.
