"Send a report to the boss that the armored division won the first battle of the eastward advance, killing nearly 10,000 enemies and capturing 15,000 Thai prisoners, and the armored division requested to attack Chiang Mai." Joey had a smile on his face, and the joy that followed the victory gave Joey a new target to attack. The armored division was inserted directly from the Taunggyi Line, and at the same time that the advance of Jingdong's large army entered Thailand, Joey's armored division had all entered the territory of Thailand.

Chiang Mai is Thailand's second largest city, home to a Japanese-built military airfield and a direct railway line to Bangkok, and capturing Chiang Mai is equivalent to getting the keys to Bangkok. According to the intelligence analysis obtained by Thunder, the Japanese army currently has about a wing of troops stationed in Chiang Mai, and there are more than 10,000 Thai troops cooperating with it, but most of the Japanese fighter units have been transferred to the Philippine battlefield, and Chiang Mai has only 10 fighters and 4 bombers.

Joey is a typical soldier, he doesn't care how many enemies he kills, he cares about the opportunity to make a great achievement, preferably an immortal feat that will make his family want to be remarkable. Yamashita Fengwen commanded his troops to ride bicycles to run long distances to Singapore, Joey studied it more than ten times, and called the bicycle because the power in Yamashita Fengwen's hands was not enough, but now his own armored division not only has those tanks and armored vehicles, but also many military trucks, as long as the boss can approve his own action plan, three days, as long as he can take the entire Chiang Mai province.

"Accurate" received the battle report of the armored division's victory, Zhao Zhi was particularly happy, but Joey asked the armored division to pick the girder to capture the entire Chiang Mai Province, and Zhao Zhi still needed to think carefully. The 25th Army withdrew from Burma, and all the mercenary troops scattered in the plateau of the state were like wolves that smelled blood, especially the commando team transferred by Yu Dazhi from Qinglongping, after encircling and annihilating the 18th Division, the Qinglongping commando team had rushed to the Burma-Thailand border at night, and the left-behind troops who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield angrily scolded these boys for not being righteous.

The mercenary troops commanded by Yan Wudao, the mountain sweeping team, Tang Lei's Qingfeng troops, and the Qinglongping commando team that has been renamed skeletons, these are the four sharp knives in Zhao Zhi's hands, and they represent the highest combat power of Thunder. There are still more than 3,000 reserve mercenaries in the training camps in Qinglongping and Mandalay, and Ye Kong, who stayed in Mandalay to recuperate, and Zhao Jinquan, who is in Qinglongping, are each training new mercenary snipers, as long as the snipers' weapons and equipment can keep up, they can also pull out two more mercenary sniper units with no less than 400 people.

Actual combat is the best means to test the quality of soldiers, and there will always be a day when the war will end, but before that day comes, Zhao Zhi must create more opportunities for them to fight, and only in this way can Thunder continue to grow and defend his interests from being touched by others. "Order, the Panzer Division immediately moved south to occupy the airfield and railway line in Chiang Mai Province, the Jewish troops were responsible for encircling and pursuing the scattered enemy forces, and before the follow-up troops arrived in Chiang Mai Province, the Panzer Division and the Jewish Corps continued to move south to expand the battlefield."

The price of the Thunder's U.S. military aid was to contain the Japanese forces as much as possible while the U.S. ground forces attacked the Philippines, and the Japanese had now abandoned Burma in order to consolidate the Philippine battlefield, but there were also a large number of Japanese troops stationed in Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Once the Thunder takes Thailand, it can make a momentum to continue to move south to Singapore and Malaysia, and the Japanese army will never sit idly by and watch the Thunder continue to move south, so when the Thunder attacks Thailand in a big way, the troops deployed by the Japanese army in Vietnam and Thailand will definitely come to intercept it, Zhao Zhi does not want to participate in the Singapore war, and it is also very good to stay in Thailand to contain the Japanese army.

"Guys, the boss has agreed to the continuation of our armored division to the south, and they are all cheering up and preparing to drive the Japanese monkeys out of Thailand." Joey stood in his command car and shouted, and the officers and men of the armored division also echoed the shouts and laughed. Today is the first battle in the real sense since the formation of the armored division, in the face of 30,000 Thai troops and more than 1,000 Japanese troops, the armored division finally won the victory, played the prestige of the armored division, the armored division is full of confidence at the moment, and Joey's pre-war mobilization just gave them a chance to vent.

"Target Chiang Mai, go" Joy gave an order, and the armored division marched along the road towards Chiang Mai. The withdrawal of the 25th Army from Thailand made the Japanese army in Thailand relatively weak, and like the Imperial Allied Army they formed in China, the Japanese army also supported many Thai maintenance troops in Thailand, and the 30,000 Thai troops defeated by Joy and them were one of them. It's just that the 30,000 Thai troops are all infantry, and there is also a Thai elephant army in Chiang Mai Province, and at the same time that Joey ordered the armored division to continue to advance, the Thai elephant army troops that had received the report were also rushing to stop the armored division from continuing south.

Thailand is known as the country of elephants, elephants in Thailand represent a symbol of auspiciousness, Thai elephants are empathetic, hard-working, intelligent and spiritual, both cheap labor, and well-behaved domestic pets, and the northern jungle of Chiang Mai is the main haunt of Thai elephants, so there is a force of more than 3,000 elephants stationed in Chiang Mai Province all year round. The elephants mounted by the Thai Elephant Corps have been trained for up to five years, and while the Thai soldiers on the back of the elephants use their rifles to shoot the enemy, the elephants driven by the elephants can not only rely on their thick skin and flesh to ram the enemy, but also use their long trunks to strangle the enemy.

Thailand's elephant army is very famous in Southeast Asia, Burma and Thailand had a war, and finally was defeated in the hands of Thai elephant troops, after the defeat of 30,000 Thai troops and 1,000 Japanese troops, Chiang Mai Province immediately sent elephant troops to intercept Joey's armored division. The commander of this elephant army, Wang Chai was born in a noble family, and his bloodline also had royal blood, Wang Chai had visited the Japanese military camp, and in his opinion, the so-called armored division of the Thunder Southward was at most an iron shell like the Japanese bean tank, and his elephant only needed a light collision to lift the iron shell into the sky.

Arrogance and preconception made Wangchai quite contemptuous of Joey's armored division, even if the Thai soldiers who fled back told him about the ferocity of the enemy tanks, Wangchai saw it as just a cover for these defeated troops to cover up their defeat. "General, the enemy has been found ahead, 5 miles away from us." Wangchai's reconnaissance team sent back the messenger, and their forward reconnaissance unit had already found the traces of the armored division, and the dust raised by dozens of tanks and armored vehicles was too conspicuous to be noticed.

"Prepare for battle, prepare for battle." Wangchai also wore white gloves like a Japanese officer, and his elephants began to line up to arrange the equipment on the elephants according to his orders, waiting for a later battle with the enemy. 5 miles is nothing to Joey's armored division, especially since the armored division is eager to move south to occupy the entire Chiang Mai province, and as soon as Wangchai's side has set up a position, the forward stalker team of the armored division has already appeared in Wangchai's telescope.

The black shell of the stalker made Wangchai like it at first glance, but seeing that the size of the stalker could be as large as two bean tanks, Wangchai had to treat it carefully. The elephant troops in formation stopped the stalker team, there are also elephants in Myanmar, and the people of the stalker team have also ridden elephants, and the Thai army pulled out the elephant troops, and the people of the stalker team are not panicked when they look at it, but there are so many elephants on the opposite side, which makes them look strange.

Joey, who arrived after hearing the news, did not delay even a moment, and directly ordered the stalker team to start attacking, and more than a dozen light stalkers rushed towards Wangchai's elephant troops. "Roar, roar, roar" Wangchai's elephant soldiers also drove the elephants forward to meet the battle, hundreds of elephants ran with great momentum, and the movement of the elephants on the ground shook the ground. When the two sides were still three or four hundred meters apart, the heavy machine gun on the stalker fired, and the elephant that hit the Thai army with a large-caliber heavy machine gun bullet was a big hole, and some elephants were directly knocked to the ground by the rain of bullets.

The explosion of more than a dozen shells caused a commotion in the elephant herd, and the elephant soldiers riding on the back of the elephants could not effectively control the elephant herd under such circumstances. "Hehe, it's all dirt buns, using elephants against my armored division, and the Thais can figure it out." Joey looked at the chaotic battlefield, and he was so happy that he couldn't straighten his waist, and before he had substantial contact with the elephant troops of the Thai army, the opponent's formation fell apart, and he knew that this was the case, just using the stalker was enough, and he didn't use a tank at all.

"Open fire, kill all the elephants, leave the scattered enemy forces to the infantry to deal with, and our task is to quickly move south to capture Chiang Mai." The appearance of the Thai elephant army is just a small episode here, and it is not worth spending all your energy on the elephants of the Thai army. As long as their elephants are killed, these Thai troops will become two-legged infantry, and the infantry relies on firepower, and Joey believes that the Thai army's bolt-action rifles are definitely no match for the Garand rifles.

The high-speed, light Stalker rushes into the battlefield with a long trail of flying dust on its tail, and the heavy machine gun attached to the top of the Stalker never breaks fire, and all the four-legged animals that appear on the battlefield are their targets. One by one, the elephants fell under heavy machine gun fire, and even the horses under Wangchai were not spared, and the famous elephant army was beaten into a veritable infantry unit.

"Let's go" has seen the forward troops of the Jewish army, leaving a mess Joey ordered the armored division to continue south, the elephants of the Thai army are finished, and the armored troops are used to pursue some stragglers of the Thai army, which is obviously more than worth the loss, the armored division is followed by 4,000 Jewish infantry, and the rest of the things should be left to them, the task of the armored division is to go south to occupy Chiang Mai.
