Chapter 464: Attack

It is not as easy as fighting Penghu to fight Taiwan, which is very clear to both Yan Guang and Cai Yi and Wang Yaowu and Dai Anlan. Therefore, after capturing Penghu, Wang Yaowu's 13th Army and Dai Anlan's 17th Army did not act rashly, but launched the construction of Penghu with the support of the Guoshe government.

Isn't there such a saying in the Hereafter???

"To build Taiwan into an unsinkable aircraft carrier ..."

Leaving aside whether it can be built or not, at least everyone knows that this aircraft carrier is intended to target the mainland.

And now it's the same, now Yan Guang's plan is to build Penghu into an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" specifically aimed at Taiwan.

Although the distance between Penghu and Taiwan is relatively close, it seems that there is no need to build such a thing, but the distance of the Taiwan Strait is calculated in "hundreds" after all, and it is still a kilometer, and it is always a good thing to be able to build a transit station in Penghu.

The most important thing is that, in any case, the departure from the air bases in Xiamen and Fuzhou is always too slow, and it is nothing in normal times, but if there is really any emergency, it is estimated that by the time the air force personnel fly from these two places to Taiwan, the yellow flowers and grass will already be cold for a long time.

On the contrary, if you take off directly from the airport in Penghu, the reaction speed is definitely more than ten times higher than that from Xiamen and Fuzhou, and this advantage is absolute.

Moreover, if the supply is carried out directly from Penghu, it is also much more convenient in terms of logistics.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It is precisely because they understand this that Wang Yaowu and others are planning an offensive against Taiwan at the same time, they are also mobilizing materials supported by the national government to build Penghu, and the Japanese are also well aware of Yan Guang's thoughts, so they have been conducting harassing operations against Penghu.

I think the Japanese also understood that it was impossible to recapture Penghu, after all, when they captured Penghu, whether it was the landing Wehrmacht or the Japanese army responsible for guarding, their losses were calculated in tens of thousands...

Therefore, the Japanese just took advantage of the falling night and sent the remaining air force units to carry out a night attack on Penghu.

This trick is annoying, after all, the radar effect of this period is not very good. Moreover, the Japanese use low-altitude flight, and it is difficult for the radar to detect them, so the construction of Penghu is carried out intermittently under the attack and harassment of the Japanese...

"These Japanese people are really annoying..."

The air raid sirens were heard. Sun Desheng, the commander of the 733rd Division, was a bit of a fire.

Originally, Sun Desheng's temper was also good, but these days, the Japanese have become irritable.

But it's also understandable, after all, whoever it is. If you have been woken up by an air raid siren or the sound of a bomb explosion in the middle of the night or early in the morning when others have fallen asleep, it is estimated that you will be like Sun Desheng.

"Forget it, there's no need to be so angry..."The division commander of the other unit on the side shook his head with a smile. Now the Japanese can only do some such little tricks..."

"Of course you can say that, every time you take sleeping pills, you sleep like a pig. We're different! ”

"Hehe..."

Hearing Sun Desheng say this, the division commander only smiled lightly.

But no one knows behind this teacher's light smile, whether there are any other meanings in it, after all, the so-called "hehe" in later generations is actually the meaning of "sb", and knowing people and faces do not know their hearts...

But as he said, now the Japanese can only play this little trick.

Because now China is bound to win Taiwan!

Taiwan is not only the territory that China lost in the First Sino-Japanese War, but also a gateway for China to enter Southeast Asia in the south. As long as you can open the door. China can directly attack the Philippines, the Nanyang Islands, and other places that have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and ......, on the other hand, if Taiwan is still in the hands of the Japanese, then even if China goes around, it will not be able to bypass...

"It's a pity, it's a pity that the heavy artillery equipped by the troops doesn't have enough range, otherwise. At that point, you can consider deploying a few heavy artillery positions on the island, and then give the little devils a little bit of ruthlessness!! ”

Just when the division commander was there "hehe" laughing. An officer, also with the rank of major general, walked over and said with some annoyance while rubbing his forehead.

You can see it. This is also a poor man who was woken up by an air raid siren.

"You say, how about letting the Ministry of Military Industry get some long-range heavy artillery over there?"

"Come on, Old Yang..."

Looking at the major general's annoyed look, the other officer smiled and shook his head.

"There is no such a large-range heavy artillery in the army now, if you really want to get it, I'm afraid you need to let the General Armament Department develop it now, and then the time will not be able to catch up..."

Hearing him say this, several other generals also nodded.

In fact, in the current national defense force, there are also artillery pieces that can strike from Penghu all the way to the interior of Taiwan, but that is a 280mm heavy artillery, and it is also a train gun, although the firing range has reached 110 kilometers, but the weight is a little unusual, and it is deployed in the north, and it is used to harass the Russians during the period when Sino-Russian border conflicts are more frequent.

In addition, the number of such guns is very small, only a dozen ...

If this kind of artillery is really transferred from the north, it is estimated that when it is transferred, Taiwan will have already been defeated―――――― not to mention that this thing is not lucky.

In addition to this large-caliber cannon of 280mm caliber, the rest are heavy cannons of 240mm and 210mm caliber.

The range of the 210mm heavy artillery is only more than 30 kilometers, and it cannot even touch the edge of Taiwan. The firing range of the larger caliber 240mm heavy artillery is more than 40 kilometers, but even if this kind of heavy artillery is deployed at the very edge of Penghu, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach Taiwan.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, this is an unrealistic thing to do...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although it is unrealistic to deploy several artillery positions in Penghu and then directly bombard Taiwan, the construction project in Penghu is progressing rapidly, and it is only for a period of time that several airfields in Penghu have been built, and about 500 ZD20 fighters and the same number of FH7 dive bombers are parked on the airfields...

When several airports in Penghu were completed, the situation over the Taiwan Strait was reversed.

It was no longer the Japanese who harassed the Wehrmacht, but the Wehrmacht who began to harass the Japanese.

The bombing of Taiwan is carried out almost every day, and at least several times a day.

Long before Penghu was attacked. The Japanese, who understood that Penghu could not be defended, had already begun to build a large number of fortifications in various areas of Taiwan, and when Penghu was attacked, the construction of fortifications was greatly accelerated.

However, now the bombing of the Wehrmacht Air Force. However, the progress of the construction of the Japanese fortifications was greatly hindered, which also made the Japanese generals very angry.

Of course, what made the Japanese even more jealous was the kind of defense-air force that had no scruples. Waste of ammunition.

After the bombers of the National Defense Air Force entered the airspace over Taiwan, they hardly spared anything except some fixed military targets, and basically all buildings similar to military targets did not escape the bombing of the Air Force, except for cities and residential buildings.

This wanton waste of ammunition. And the attitude of not caring for it was naturally hated by the Japanese army.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for this harassment to end...

Because soon, a new round of offensive against Taiwan began. ..., of course, before that, the offensive against Thailand began much earlier ...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Are these Vietnamese people going a little too far?"

After entering Thailand in an off-road vehicle, I looked at the burned villages along the road, and the corpses that could be seen from time to time. Even a naked female corpse. Wang Naien frowned a little.

Although the military of any country is an absolutely violent institution, as an orthodox soldier who graduated from a military academy, Wang Naien still has a little complaint about what the Vietnamese did in Thailand.

In fact, not only Wang Naien, but also some other officers and generals.

After all, Thailand was also China's closest ally in the past. During that honeymoon period, a number of officers arrived in Thailand. Help the Thais train the troops, and therefore. As a result, many officers have a very good impression of Thailand.

Although the two countries have become enemies because of the betrayal of the Thai government, it does not mean that these people like Thailand to become a white soil...

"Forget it, this is also something that can't be helped, after all, is it a war..."

Hearing Wang Naien say this, the companion sitting beside him comforted.

Or rather, when I first thought of using the Vietnamese, Laos, and Cambodia, I thought of this in advance.

Is there anything more inexplicable in this world than hatred?

As long as one thinks that in the future the countries of Central and South Africa are likely to hate each other for a hundred years, and therefore have to rely on China, those in the upper echelons of the Kuomintang government cannot but be proud of this plan.

As for the dead, innocent Thais? What is it for them to die some Thais...

"But be careful, although this place is now almost wiped out by the Vietnamese and other coalition forces, there are still quite a few guerrillas operating in the jungle, and they may give us cold shots at any time..."

As he spoke, his companion pointed to the entrance of the village.

"See !! there"

Following his companion's hand, Wang Naien glanced at the entrance of the village.

The moment his eyes looked over, they had shrunk slightly.

"This is..."

On the trees at the entrance of the village, several bloody humanoid objects are hanging.

Although Wang Naien had never seen this kind of thing in the past, when he saw this kind of thing for the first time, it was still easy to identify what these were...

"Those......... It's the so-called guerrillas..."

Saying this, the companion sighed as well.

"The Vietnamese did too much, and as a result, the Thais hated them, and some time ago, there were even more than a dozen attacks almost every day, in which the Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians also suffered great losses, and the final result was that as long as the Vietnamese caught the guerrillas, they would peel off their skins alive and hang them at the entrance of the village or some more conspicuous places to warn the Thais, but it seems that the effect is not very obvious..."

"Yes, but I'm afraid the government will be crazy about this result..."

As he spoke, there was a sudden explosion like fried beans in front of the group, and soon the commotion spread.

When the Wehrmacht soldiers in the team heard the explosion, they all grabbed their weapons and quickly got out of the car―――――― stopping in the car at this time was no different from looking for death.

At this time, Wang Naien also jumped out of the off-road vehicle and grabbed a coalition soldier who was running back.

"What's going on, what's going on up ahead?"

The coalition soldier looked dark and thin. However, it seems that he can also recognize Wang Naien as an officer, so he hurriedly said a lot, but it's a pity that he ......, and he didn't understand...

At this time, Wang Naien also seemed to have found a problem. Fortunately, there was an interpreter in the team, and after calling the interpreter over, the interpreter hurriedly translated.

"Sir, he's from Vietnam. He said that the front was attacked by the guerrillas ...

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Wang Naien and the others had guessed a little, and now they just confirmed it.

"But I didn't expect this group of Thais to be so bold..."

No wonder they say that, after all, this is the main road.

"No way. If it were us, we would be as bold as they were when something like this happened..."

When he said this, Wang Naien pointed to a naked corpse on the side of the road...

It's a little far away, but even if you look at it, you can see what happened to this corpse before it died...

"It's not our business, we just need to take care of the war..."

Saying this, his companion glanced at Wang Naien.

"Let's go, go up and have a look?"

"It's good!"

Wang Naien nodded.

At this time, the front has already been in a mess, I have to say. It is true that the equipment of the Thais is much better than that of the Chinese army in history.

Even the rifles that the Thai guerrillas are equipped with. It is also a Mauser G98, which is far stronger than the Hanyang-made equipment of the Chinese army in history, and there are also a lot of mortars, 37 infantry guns and grenade launchers, all of which were supported by the Wehrmacht in the early years...

In addition, the Thai troops are more or less well-trained, and if it were not for the air support of the Defence Air Force, I am afraid that the coalition forces would really be pushed back by the Thais.

In the end, what the Vietnamese are best at is killing people and setting fires. Although the combat effectiveness seems to be a bit or something, it is a pity that it is still too far behind the formally trained Thais...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When Wang Naien and others walked to the scene. It's already a mess there.

Obviously, the attacking Thais did not expect that there would be a regular Chinese army here. So it was not possible to eat the coalition forces in the shortest time as expected.

But in the same way, these Thai guerrillas are also somewhat beyond Wang Naien's imagination.

In Wang Naien's imagination, such a so-called guerrilla force is at most a small guerrilla force of a few dozen people, at most a hundred or so people, and they usually wander around the jungle and attack the coalition logistics troops on the road or something.

But now, when Wang Naien and others arrived at the scene, they found that the Thai assault force was at least one battalion in number, and it looked more like a regular army than a guerrilla...

"It's normal, after all, this is a forward area, and many of the guerrillas are actually the regular Thai troops that were scattered in the earlier operations, and these regular troops relied on their own familiarity with the terrain after being dispersed, so they also found a place to hide, in fact, many of these so-called guerrillas are regimental scales, and some have even reached the size of divisions after they have developed and grown..."

With that, his companion pointed to a Vietnamese man not far away.

"It's also thanks to them, if they hadn't gone so far, I don't think those Thais would have grown to this point."

"Didn't you think about exterminating these guerrillas?"

Hearing what his companion said, Wang Naien frowned.

"Extermination? How to exterminate it? Thailand is a lot of jungles, and we are not familiar with the terrain here, so basically as soon as they hide in the jungle, we can't do anything about them......... Besides, didn't the ancestors say it? In the absence of heavy equipment support, if we really go to the jungle, we may not be their opponents..."..., this is true, after all, the other party is also a regular army.

In the case that there is no obvious generation difference between each other's equipment, and at the same time, there is no body armor, reliable night vision devices and other equipment, if you really want to fight in the jungle. Even a well-trained IDF may not be able to bargain for the same number, and it must be trained in jungle warfare. If you were transferred from the north, I'm afraid you would have been beaten by the Thais as soon as you entered the jungle...

Although the Thais are also menacing, at this time, there are still a considerable number of defense forces on the main road―――――― even if they are engaged in jungle warfare, these defense forces may not be the opponents of the Thais.

Anyway. After all, it is not a jungle warfare that is being carried out now, and the Thais estimate that they only wanted to attack the coalition forces, but they did not expect that there were still a considerable number of national defense forces on the main road―――――― which is not surprising, after all, Wang Naien and they belong to the semi-mechanized troops...

Semi-mechanized troops, not only in terms of movement speed, but also faster than the infantry of the coalition forces. The most important thing is that in addition to a certain number of trucks, Wang Naien's battalion also has a considerable number of infantry fighting vehicles and armored transporters.

For the Thais, the 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun on the armoured transporter is already quite powerful, and it can even break a large tree at the waist when firing continuously.

As for the 30mm cannon on the infantry fighting vehicle, it was a powerful weapon at this time.

Although the Thais were also armed with a certain number of 37 infantry guns and 60mm and 80mm mortars, there was no doubt that the Wehrmacht was the most equipped side at this time, so it didn't take long. Seeing that he couldn't eat the coalition army in front of him. And after their own losses were getting bigger and bigger, the Thais also retreated.

Seeing that the Thais were retreating, the coalition forces did not chase after them, but treated the wounded on the spot and set up a cordon by the way.

Although there was something strange on the Wehrmacht's side, they remained silent when they saw that the commander did not say anything.

For an army. Obedience is the only rule, and even more so in the Wehrmacht.

Although in the movies of later generations. There are often officers who are resisted by their subordinates because they give "pig" orders. Then his subordinates led the whole team to pass the test smoothly like a hero, and as for the "pig" commander on the other side and the subordinates who obeyed them, it naturally ended in the annihilation of the whole army.

However, this is just a movie after all, and in reality, this situation is not impossible, but unfortunately even one in a hundred cases may not appear once, more because of the division of the team, but the serious decline in combat effectiveness, and finally the entire team was wiped out...

Because internal conflicts and divisions in a team are the most desirable things for the enemy.

In this case, even if one of the parties is right, the split will lead to the failure of such a decision. On the contrary, if you obey the orders of the "pig", it may lead to the success of the operation, even if the cost of this success is quite heavy―――――― and even if it ends in failure, at least if you unite it can bring considerable losses to the enemy, rather than making the enemy lose nothing at all, as after the split, which is another reason why the enemy likes his opponent to have internal contradictions.

It is precisely for this reason that the army will mainly obey orders.

Of course, there are policies and countermeasures...

In many cases, the battle loss rate of the "pig" commanders on the battlefield is also very high, and sometimes even these commanders are inexplicably attacked by "guerrillas" or "enemy troops" even in their own offices...

For Wang Naien and his party, what happened just now was just a small episode...

After dealing with the guerrillas, Wang Naien and his entourage got into the car again and headed towards Ronsai...

Ploong Sai, or Ploong Sai district, is a district in Phetchabun province.

By the way, it is more interesting that Thailand has about 75 provinces and 1 municipality of Bangkok, and a province in Thailand is about the same as a province in China, but unfortunately the so-called province in Thailand is too small, so there is a feeling that I don't know what to do, in fact, a considerable part of Thailand's provinces have only a population of about 1 million, and it is likely to be less than 1 million...

And Plengsai, which is part of Phetchabun province, is also the second line of defense for the Thais...

Basically, as long as Phetchabun can be captured, there will only be two provinces left from Bangkok...

However, according to the estimation of the General Staff, the words of Phetchabun are okay, and the rest is a little troublesome.

Because while going deep into the hinterland of Thailand, it also means that the logistics line is lengthened, and there are many jungles in Thailand...

If you are not careful, the Wehrmacht will have to accompany the Thais to drill everywhere in the woods...
