In front of the Kingdom of Thailand, which was slightly better preserved than the surrounding buildings, Ho Zhu Guo ordered his troops to clean up the place a little, and prepare for a grand ceremony in the cleared square.

At this time, outside the city of Bangkok, another equally grand entrance ceremony was also being held...

After Yamashita and his entourage abandoned the city on a warship and fled, the resistance in the city soon collapsed. In this case, the Wehrmacht easily captured the entire city at a slight cost.

Except for a small amount of resistance from the Thai and Japanese troops, there was little trouble.

For the national government, the capture of Bangkok is basically equivalent to the occupation of the whole of Thailand.

However, there is still the problem of the hundreds of thousands of Thai troops and guerrillas that are swarming towards Bangkok. The former is easy to say, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Thai team is not very good, not to mention that not all Thai teams have strong combat effectiveness.

Again, the point lies in the latter, in the annoying guerrillas.

Although He Zhuguo also carried out a purge of these guerrillas, the purge was ineffective, and on the contrary, the troops suffered considerable losses after chasing the guerrillas into the dense forest.

It can be said that He Zhuguo has no way to deal with these guerrillas.

This is also the reason why the Ho Zhu Congress held a grand ceremony for Rama VIII to enter the city, because he hoped to use Rama VIII's influence in Thailand to divide and win over the remaining troops and guerrillas in Thailand.

Therefore, for Ho Zhuguo, the greater the influence of Rama VIII, the better...

"Then Your Majesty..."

"Please!"

Escorted by thousands of national defense troops, Ho Zhuguo made a gesture of invitation to Rama VIII.

After Rama VIII nodded, he also rode a horse into the city side by side with He Zhuguo―――――― although there was a jeep to sit on, but for the Orientals, the effect of riding a horse into the city was undoubtedly better, so He Zhuguo specially got a group of war horses from other places.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that the effect is not very good.

Although the surviving civilians in the city were all "invited" by the Wehrmacht, they did not seem to be very good, even when they waved the trumpet flags under the orders of the Wehrmacht. But he just looked at Rama VIII, who was riding a war horse side by side with He Zhuguo, their king...

And riding on He Zhuguo's side, while being watched by many eyes. Rama VIII was also smiling wryly.

As for He Zhuguo? Although he frowned a little about the current situation, he did not say anything, after all, Bangkok was beaten to half a ruin in this battle, and it was really whimsical to convince these Bangkokians with just one Rama VIII.

But for He Zhuguo. The convincing of the people of Bangkok is not what he needs now.

What he needed most was to restore Rama VIII's influence, and then deal with the guerrillas who were mischievous behind him and the Thai troops who were coming here...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The ceremony of entering the city and the following ceremonies went smoothly, and no one suddenly appeared to assassinate Ho Zhu Guo and Rama VIII, and no one suddenly appeared to cause trouble.

Of course, it may also come out. It's just that he didn't run in front of Rama VIII and He Zhuguo alive.

Either way, at least on the surface, the ceremony went well.

And at the end of the ceremony, King Rama VIII, who once again became the nominal leader of the country, issued a proclamation to the nation.

Naturally, the announcement said that China and Thailand were close to each other, and that they should not attack and resist the Wehrmacht. …,

On the other hand, King Rama VIII also sent a telegram to the Thai troops who were heading towards Bangkok, asking them to put things in order and submit to the new government...

Although in the past, Rama VIII has always been a puppet. It's someone else who is really in charge. But Rama VIII is, after all, the titular monarch of Thailand. And it has only been a matter of nearly ten years for the king of Thailand to become a puppet, and now that Bangkok has fallen into the hands of China, the current China is also like a bamboo, and the original government has abandoned the city and fled...

Therefore, after receiving the announcement from King Rama VIII, many troops really chose to defect to the new government.

In addition, many troops hesitated, stopping to see what others were doing.

So they came and went. The threat from the Thai side has almost been cleaned up.

As for the Thai guerrillas on the other side, many of the Thai guerrillas were formed from the original regular army. Therefore, it is true that many guerrillas heeded the announcement of King Rama VIII. But there were also quite a few guerrillas who appeared after the coalition forces burned and looted. They already have a considerable enmity with the Coalition Forces, so these people turn a blind eye to the Coalition's announcements...

In any case, however, the pressure on the Wehrmacht and the coalition forces has been reduced considerably.

On the other side, He Zhuguo also commanded the troops to advance into other areas to receive the troops and territory of Toucheng, and at the same time strike at those who resisted stubbornly.

Today, most of Thailand's problems have been solved after the occupation of Bangkok and the flight of the original government...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Did He Zhuguo's side do it well..."

When Bangkok fell and a new government was formed, the allies, including the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom, congratulated China, and at the same time acquiesced in China's dominance over Thailand―――――― in fact, it was not possible to acquiesce to it, after all, Japan was the only one that could confront Japan in Asia.

In addition, the Allies are also hyping up this news.

After all, at a time when the Axis forces were in full swing, having such news was also a good incentive for the morale of the Allies. You must know that the fall of Australia some time ago has dealt a great blow to the morale of the Allies.

Many of the Allied countries even began to wonder whether the war could be won.

Thailand's defeat is naturally a good incentive, after all, in any case, Thailand is also a relatively strong country in this period―――――― at least much stronger than the three Baltic countries or Turkey or something.

Of course, while this news spreads all over the world, it is impossible to let go of the country.

And Wang Yaowu and Dai Anlan, who were the first to know about this situation, had a sense of envy for He Zhuguo.

"yes..."

Hearing Wang Yaowu say that, Dai Anlan also sighed and nodded.

"Lao He's luck is indeed good..."

As he spoke, Dai Anlan looked at the map on the desktop again.

While Ho Joo-kook's side was busy conducting military operations against Thailand, they were not busy either.

Not only is the rear area constantly transporting the materials needed for the campaign to Fujian. They are also preparing for various preparations.

However, in the final analysis, Taiwan is not Thailand after all, not only is there a strait between the mainland and Thailand, but Taiwan is also a place where Japan has been operating for many years. There are more than 100,000 Japanese troops and countless Japanese Taiwanese troops.

During this period, Japan's control over Taiwan was still very strong.

Especially after nearly 50 years of rule, Japan has been brainwashing and assimilating Taiwan's aborigines. ..., for example, Taiwanese Japanese soldiers during World War II in history basically took an oath of allegiance to the emperor. This was once broadcast on NHK radio in Japan.

In addition, even in Taiwan in the future, there will be "Japanese" like Lee Teng-hui, and it is conceivable that Japan will control Taiwan at this time.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no pro-China people in Taiwan, after all, Taiwanese are also Chinese. It's just that there are also a lot of pro-Japanese ones...

"It's convenient for you to arrive, the target is Tainan, I'm unlucky..."

Looking at the map on the desktop, Dai Anlan sighed bitterly.

"My goal is Hsinchu, not to mention anything else, this logistics line alone is far enough..."

"Alright, stop complaining..."

Hearing Dai Anlan say this, Wang Yaowu said with a smile.

According to the plan. Wang Yaowu's 13th Army and Dai Anlan's 17th Army. Attack Tainan and Hsinchu in two ways. In addition, a large number of troops have been assembled in Fujian, and just waiting for two people to open a passage, the troops hoarded in Fujian will rush forward to capture Taiwan.

But the most important thing now is how to attack it...

The news of the victory on He Zhuguo's side also stimulated Wang Yaowu and them a little.

After all, as a general of the same level, the fight over there is over. It's not over yet, and it's a bit embarrassing to say it.

Fortunately, at this time, everything that should be prepared has been almost prepared. So after everything was ready, Wang Yaowu and Dai Anlan had already reported to Beijing. Authorization is requested for military operations and support from the Air Force and Navy.

As far as Wang Yaowu and Dai Anlan are concerned, whether they can take Taiwan this time and how much they can pay to take Taiwan depends on the air force and navy.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The first thing that started was naturally the overwhelming bombing of the Air Force.

Since the war on the Thai side has ended, there is no longer a need for H3 bombers to continue bombing Bangkok, so all the H3 bombers at the Kunming base have been transferred to Fujian at this time.

At the start of the campaign, the first to appear was a group of H3 and FH7 bombers.

Nearly 1,000 H3 bombers and an equal number of FH7 dive bombers flew to Hsinchu and Tainan in the sky, bombing all suspicious targets on the beach.

The carpet bombardment caused countless sinkholes to appear on the beach.

Only after the bombing, which lasted nearly half an hour, did the bomber group return to the air base in Fujian.

Later, Wang Yaowu's 13th Group Army and Dai Anlan's 17th Group Army carried out landing operations in Tainan and Hsinchu under the escort of the navy.

The landing ship's door was open, and after the sea water entered the ship through the open gate, one after another the landing craft were used from the landing ship.

Of course, there are not only landing craft, but also a small number of amphibious combat vehicles.

In addition, on the landing craft, a certain number of 30-ton 15-modification tanks were also carried.

This battle is different from the battle in Penghu, the Penghu site is too small to make the tank smoothly deployed, and this time the site is obviously much larger than Penghu, and the difficulty of attacking is much greater than Penghu, so the tank unit of the Wehrmacht can finally appear.

The Japanese, on the other side, also opened fire after the landing craft came out of the landing ship and after the landing craft came into range.

Although the small-caliber machine guns, shore defense guns, and even anti-aircraft artillery were somewhat inferior in accuracy due to the long distance and the undulating water surface that caused the landing craft to fluctuate. But the base is still there, after all.

So by the time the landing force was about to reach the beachhead, the landing force had already lost at least dozens of landing craft, and some of the landing craft that had reached their destination had been hit. Although these landing craft barely reached their destination in the end, it can be seen from the opening of the hatch that few people came out alive, and how much loss there was inside......

The Wehrmacht soldiers who landed did not immediately go on the offensive, but were protected by 15 tanks that drove out together. Build a beachhead first.

At this time, the role of the 15-change tank came to the fore.

Although the combat effectiveness of the 15 modification is obviously inferior to that of the ZT40 and ZT41, after improvement, the frontal thickness of the 15 modification tank has also reached the level of 100 mm. This level of protection, although not yet able to withstand large-caliber tank guns. Or an anti-tank gun like an 88mm anti-aircraft gun, but a gun of a general caliber or something is still fine.

Therefore, after the landing, the landing force was almost always a beachhead built around these steel pillboxes.

On the other side, the 15-change tanks also kept fighting back at the Japanese with tank guns.

The Japanese still know a lot about the 15-change tank, after all, China and Japan have also been close for a while, during which China and Japan have had many exchanges, and at that time China was the latest and most powerful 15-change tank. Apparently the star of the exchange.

The Japanese were well aware of this tank. Ordinary means were useless, so when these 15 tanks were unveiled, the commander of the garrison already ordered the large-caliber artillery on the beachhead to aim their guns at the 15 tanks.

"Boom !!"

There was a burst of shelling, although a lot of shells missed, but also a few 15-change tanks were hit.

Although due to the thick frontal armor of the 15 modifications, the shells of the average degree were bounced. But there were also several large-caliber anti-tank guns that fired shells that pierced the armor of the tank and burned the entire tank into a large fireball ...

“mlgbd！！！”

Sun Cai, who had already run far away after the tank was penetrated. Looking at the fragmented 15-change tank that was blown up because of the explosion of ammunition, he scolded.

Although at least hundreds of Wehrmacht troops and more than a dozen tanks had landed at this time, they were only a few in front of the tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the beachhead. Therefore, at this time, the Wehrmacht turned out to be a passive situation.

Fortunately, at this time, the landing force was still being used in a steady stream towards the beachhead, and although many landing craft were sunk on the way, the number of Wehrmacht troops on the beachhead had exceeded 1,000 after just over 10 minutes.

Half an hour later, the Wehrmacht on the beachhead had reached the number of a brigade.

However, in front of the dense bunkers and reinforced concrete batteries on the Japanese beach, this amount was still not enough after all.

Therefore, the troops who landed on the beach were just building beachheads on their own at the landing site, and they did not think of taking the initiative to attack anything, after all, taking the initiative at this time was tantamount to seeking suicide.

On the contrary, the Japanese, perhaps trying to drive this Wehrmacht into the sea, the Japanese army, which occupies the majority, launched several charges, trying to drive the Wehrmacht on the beachhead into the sea, but because the landed Wehrmacht was equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, it occupied an absolute advantage in firepower, and there were nearly 100 15-change tanks on the beachhead as a backing, so these offensives were called easy to collapse.

There was no way, the Japanese had to call the rear artillery group to carry out a covering attack on the Wehrmacht on the beach, of course, at the beginning, a few fell on the heads of the Japanese themselves, but after adjustment, soon the shells were only aimed at the Wehrmacht...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"This battle feels more difficult than the one in Penghu..."

Hiding in a beachhead bunker that had been repaired, Zhang Nan muttered while wiping the sea water on his face.

Not far from him was a 15-change tank, but Zhang Nan didn't dare to hide behind that tank at all. No way, although these tanks did contribute a lot when building the beachhead, but when the position was formed, the target of these tanks became too conspicuous. …,

Not only did the Japanese shore defense guns and anti-tank guns aim at the 15-change tanks, but even the general automatic weapons took the initiative to take care of the soldiers around the tanks. Now following behind the tank is a complete act of seeking death.

On the other side, Zhang Nan's companion also smiled bitterly but didn't say anything after hearing his words.

More than an hour later, the Wehrmacht on the beachhead had reached more than 20,000 people, and the entire beachhead felt more or less overwhelmed.

So under the cover of an air force bombardment, the Wehrmacht launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops defending the beachhead. Unfortunately, the onslaught failed, and the Wehrmacht, which launched the offensive after the defeat, left behind more than a thousand corpses, only those wounded who had been evacuated with the Wehrmacht.

In fact, not only Zhang Nan and them, but also Wang Yaowu and others in the rear also felt that the target in front of them was difficult to bite.

In particular, at any time, the number of Japanese troops on the beach was greater than that of the Wehrmacht who landed on the beach, which made Wang Yaowu and others even more troublesome.

However, in any case, this operation must not be abandoned.

Therefore, Wang Yaowu and others in the rear can only grit their teeth and hold on, and at the same time let the Air Force provide as much support as possible. If they could, Wang Yaowu and the others even hoped to use the air force's aerial bombs to kill all the Japanese troops on the beachhead...
