The trenches, the barbed wire fence that had been hit by artillery fire was crooked, the burning tanks in front of the positions and the large number of corpses of the Chinese National Defense Army, and the smoke of gunfire still did not disperse, all of which showed that a tragic war had just been experienced here.

This is the Siam Sukotai Line.

When China forced Siam to build the Bangkok-Yunnan railway road, it once carried out the "Queen Zheng", although in the end the Chinese did not send troops to help the so-called "Queen Zheng" restore the country after the goal was achieved, but the King of Siam knew that his position was unstable from now on, no matter how good he did, it was absolutely impossible for the Chinese to support the puppet himself. For this reason, the King of Siam decided to build a strong defensive line at all costs, that is, the Sukhothai Line.

The reason why Chiang Rai and other borders where the defense line was not built was because in the sensitive situation at that time, his construction of a defense line there and the stationing of heavy troops would definitely provoke a backlash from the Chinese side, and maybe he would be beaten down before the defense line was repaired. China and the West were at loggerheads, and Siam expanded its army to 300,000 and was supported by the West.

With imported Western weapons and artillery from the bunkers, the Sukhothai Line finally repelled the attack of the Chinese forward troops after fierce fighting. Even if in fact Siam's losses were several times greater than those of the Chinese side, they were repelled after all.

Li Dashan, the commander of the Ninth Army, and Gu Pinzhen, the chief of staff, came to the temporary headquarters on the front line, and Li Dangdang, the commander of the 091st Division, was still expressionless, but the chief of staff, Li Zongren, had already lowered his head in shame, and desperately grabbed the task of playing the forward, but he was actually blocked.

"Can't see anything? And the barbed wire fence in the trenches blocked you? Gu Pinzhen was greatly annoyed, put down the binoculars and asked.

Li Dangdang said: "I can't see anything on the surface. In fact, this fortification has a large number of bunkers, bunkers are equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft guns, and even 75 mm field guns, field artillery flat fire can destroy our tank armor, even if the 37 mm anti-aircraft guns hit multiple shots, if the distance is close enough, it can also break the armor, we saw that the casualties were too great, so let the troops withdraw. ”

Li Zongren hurriedly said: "Chief of Staff, as long as the military headquarters gives us heavy artillery fire support, we will definitely be able to break through the defense line and take Sukhothai." ”

Li Dashan said suddenly: "There is no need to argue. 'Operation Plan No. 2' is also known as 'Thunder Plan'. Our offense has to be a thunderbolt. Not only is it lightning fast, but it must also destroy the withering and decaying, and break the enemy's spiritual morale in one fell swoop. Immediately use the 'Dongfeng-300'. ”

The "Dongfeng-300" is a 300-millimeter rocket artillery, and this is definitely the case so far. The most terrifying army artillery in the world. Although Europe has train guns or other artillery units. But is the maneuverability compared to that of a rocket launcher mounted on a car? Can the firepower of its one-time delivery be compared to that of rocket artillery? Not at all in a grade.

Gu Pinzhen was taken aback and said, "Military seat." Use it now? This is a killer feature, and our entire Wehrmacht is not equipped much. ”

Li Dashan said expressionlessly: "Our Third Route Army undertakes extremely arduous combat tasks, and its greatest feature is that it is the most important feature. That has to be fast. The task of the Second Route Army, which attacked Mandalay, was to attract British troops in Burma and form the Battle of Mandalay. Our mission was only to capture Bangkok, and then quickly interspersed westward, and in a roundabout way to capture Mawlamyine, Rangoon and other coastal areas, forming a huge encirclement of the British army in Mandalay, and annihilating the 500,000 British and Indian troops in Burma. ”

Gu Pinzhen was taken aback and said, "Why didn't I know? But what about the Malay Peninsula? ”

Li Dashan said: "This grand strategic direction is only known to the military commander at the military level, but now that the war has broken out, I can tell you, of course, only at the top of the divisional level." As for the Malay Peninsula, naturally, there are follow-up troops in charge. Do it! ”

Dozens of Dongfeng-300 rocket artillery vehicles propped up the launch tubes, and in an instant, hundreds of 300-mm rocket artillery shells poured down on the Sukhothai Line, and the violent explosions and monstrous flames almost instantly submerged the Sukhothai Line. After the war, some people measured and found that the entire position had been cut off almost three meters, not to mention the shell landing point, which was a huge crater almost ten meters deep.

Such a fierce artillery bombardment is absolutely unprecedented on land, and only a duel of capital ships at sea can have such an artillery bombardment, a bombardment is equivalent to a salvo of hundreds of 300 mm cannons, and its strike range is absolutely completely a death Jedi.

With the artillery bombardment, the 091st Division, spearheaded by the tank regiment, directly captured the position and attacked the Siamese troops on the periphery from the flanks and rear. The Sukhothai Line was the spiritual sustenance of the Siamese army's resistance, the defense line was destroyed, the officers and soldiers collapsed in an instant, not to mention the terrible shelling, which had long made them irresistible thoughts, and they were defeated one after another, and countless surrendered people.

The Third Route Army went all the way south, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

The royal palace in Bangkok was in chaos, almost all the main forces of the Siamese army were in Sukhothai, and the painstakingly managed defense line was destroyed by the Chinese in a day, and everyone knew that there was no strength to resist the attack of the Chinese.

After all, Siam has been a vassal country of China for thousands of years, and many wealthy families are proud of intermarriage with Chinese and Chinese blood. Although the king of Siam, an indigenous coup d'état, later ascended the throne, he did not dare to offend these wealthy families in an all-round way, and it was impossible to exterminate them. In terms of traditional political changes, it is just a change of king.

What is really panicking is the Siamese royal family and the hardcore forces it supports, the Chinese want to support King Zheng, and King Zheng's return to the power of the King of Siam must be wiped out.

"Great King, we can take refuge in India first, and the Chinese will start a war with Britain, France and the United States at the same time, and in the end they will definitely lose."

"Yes, after defeating the Chinese, we can not only restore the country, but even go one step further and seize the Chinese's Yunnan."

"So what are you waiting for? Prepare the ship! ”

In just half a day, the King of Siam and his hardcore ministers boarded several ships with gold and silver, and fled to sea with a group of guards.

The British, French, and U.S. military estimate that Siam can support it for a while, at least seven or eight days, right? And then, they were very wrong. The Sukhothai defense line did not hold out for even a day, and the flight of the king of Siam made the whole of Siam lose the heart of resistance, and only on the fourth day, the Chinese army took control of Bangkok.

A large number of overseas Chinese and wealthy families with Chinese blood in Bangkok welcomed the arrival of the Celestial Empire army, and this news almost made the British, French, and American high-level vomit blood.

British Prime Minister Macdonald got the news and roared in his office: "Waste, a bunch of waste"-

News of the fall of Sukhothai reached Da Nang at a time when Da Nang was under onslaught by Chinese troops.

The fortified artillery and fortifications north of Da Nang had been destroyed during the initial air raid by a large number of Chinese aircraft, and although some emergency repairs had been made, the same wave of troops from the ground was also assisted by a large number of aircraft, and was again subjected to devastating bombing.

The French army has a lot of pure French troops in Da Nang, after all, Da Nang's important land cannot be lost, and it will definitely not be defended by a colonial legion. But in the face of an air-ground attack, the French defense was extremely difficult, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.

When the news of the loss of Sukhothai was received, the French commander of Da Nang, Mok, sat down at the headquarters on the spot.

"Commander, we must withdraw!"

"The main forces in the north of Vietnam have been surrounded by the Chinese, and Sukhothai has been lost, so soon the Chinese will form a huge strategic encirclement of the whole of Annam. It would take at least a month to mobilize reinforcements from the mainland. ”

"It's hard to say if it will arrive in a month. Once the Chinese capture Bangkok, there is a place in Bangkok where an airstrip can be quickly sorted out, Chinese planes can deter the entire Gulf of Siam, and even Singapore is under the threat of Chinese aircraft, and it is likely that Singapore will become a second Da Nang. Will the warship dare to come? If we don't dare to come, we can only wait for death. ”

"Withdraw! We have done our duty as soldiers. In the command, panicked French officers advised one after another.

"Withdraw!" Commander Mock finally held back the word.

It is impossible for Mock not to hate, and after the attack on Da Nang, Admiral Billy, the commander of the navy, was persuaded by British Rear Admiral Miller to retreat, and when he came forward to ask the naval officers and sailors to stay and let go of Da Nang with them, what the other party said made him almost vomit blood.

"I'm sorry, but the battlefield of our navy is at sea, and things on land should be solved by your army."

"The Navy is also a military man! There are more than 30,000 officers and men of the navy on this road, plus one of our divisions, which can completely hold Da Nang. At that time, Mock was furious and argued with reason.

"As the world's No. 1 magic army, do you need the help of the navy to defend a fortress?"

"Didn't you say that as long as your division is here, even if the siege of 300,000 troops, you can let the other side return with a feather?" ’

Mock thought of these cool words and the gang of cowards who were in a hurry to evacuate, and his stomach was on fire. If the fortress was intact and well stocked, he was certainly sure to withstand the onslaught of 300,000 enemies, and what he said a few years ago at that time, there were no aircraft as advanced as the Chinese. The development of aircraft has made a huge change in the mode of warfare, especially the bombers that can drop bombs, which are definitely a disaster for the army, and the traditional exposed fortifications cannot withstand the bombing of bombs, especially in Da Nang, many fortress batteries were built in the last world, and they are open-roofed, and bombs falling from the air can be thrown directly into the interior of the fortress to destroy the entire fortress.

Mok explained that once the wounded soldiers of the army attacked by the Chinese, they surrendered directly. Because the wounded soldier following will not only delay the retreat of the troops, but may also lead to the deterioration of the wound and death. As far as he knows, the military discipline of the Chinese National Defense Forces is very good, and he believes that the Western coalition forces will definitely win this war, and these wounded prisoners will also become the weight of the Chinese, and it is estimated that the Chinese side will not meet the death without help.

After arranging for the wounded, he quickly withdrew from the fortress with his troops and quickly headed south, but soon he changed his mind and ordered his troops to stop advancing.

"General, why? You're not going to counterattack the troops, are you? ”

"No, I mean, I mean, we can't get out of this way. If the Sukhothai defense line of the Siamese is lost, the Chinese will hit Bangkok in a few days, then the Chinese fleet can sail directly to Bangkok, and the sea control in the South China Sea and even Southeast Asia will be in the hands of the Chinese. ”

"What do you mean?"

"We have to find a boat, even if it's a fishing boat, so we can evacuate safely" (to be continued......
