"Yaga, what kind of weapon are they using?" Nakai Daisa, who commanded the battle of the city defense, shouted frantically, and just now, he watched a dozen of his soldiers fall to the ground for no reason. I didn't hear a single shot at all, but the bullet holes in the soldiers' bodies and the blood arrows that splattered out showed that they had been shot, how did the damn bullet hit them, could it be that Thunder already had a weapon that could shield the gunshots? Nakai couldn't help but inhale the cool air, if so, the consequences would be serious.

The armored troops of the Thunder Strike were too fierce, and in less than half a day after defeating more than 30,000 Japanese Thai coalition troops, they completely annihilated the Thai elephant troops in Chiang Mai Province, and it was less than 24 hours since Nakajing received the news that the Thunder troops had crossed the border, and the other side's armored troops had already surrounded Chiang Mai. The opponent's armored forces are indeed very difficult to deal with, the four Type 97 tanks in Chiang Mai City were just covered by the opponent's artillery fire and beaten up, and those bean tanks were beaten like a sieve that could not even break through the heavy machine gun fire net on the opponent's armored vehicles, Nakai didn't know what else he could use to block the opponent's attack.

As the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Chiang Mai, Nakai had a wing of Japanese troops in his hands, and he could also command the 50,000 Thai troops assembled in Chiang Mai, and the other party obviously wanted to encircle and annihilate these troops in his hands at one time. At the same time that Nakai issued the assembly order, the enemy troops besieging Chiang Mai did not give a dead hand to intercept the troops who were ordered to rush to the rescue of Chiang Mai, although all the troops were intercepted by fire to varying degrees, but there was still a thrill to rush to Chiang Mai to complete the assembly, but now Nakai, who has been besieged in Chiang Mai, knows that he is fooled.

The reason why the assembled troops can easily enter Chiang Mai is simply the intention of the other side, rather than spending a lot of manpower to pursue the Japanese and Thai troops scattered in Chiang Mai Province, it is better to face off here in Chiang Mai at one time. The epiphany Nakai tried to command the troops to break through, but the enemy troops who had completed the siege of Chiang Mai were so easily put to them, and after paying thousands of casualties, Nakai and his troops were pushed back, Chiang Mai had become a place of death, and Nakai who was stranded in the city of Chiang Mai was destined to become the burial objects of this dead land.

The "booming" artillery bombardment had no intention of stopping, and from the beginning of Nakai's plan to engage in a city defense battle with the enemy, tanks of the enemy's armored units appeared, not only blocking all the passages in and out of Chiang Mai, but also accurately removing the fire points built by Nakai one by one with artillery fire. The opposing ground forces have not yet entered the city, but more than half of the street fighting firepower points built by Nakai have been destroyed. Just as Nakai didn't know how the other side could shield the gunfire, he couldn't figure out why the enemy's tank fire was so accurate, and even some fortifications that were extremely hidden were drowned out by the enemy's artillery fire.

"Tell our infantry not to be in a hurry, rest first, and when they are rested, there are battles waiting for them to fight." Seeing the excitement of the tank and armored vehicles, the covering infantry who followed in the truck couldn't bear it, and the officer who led the team had asked Joey several times to put the infantry in and exchange fire with the Japanese troops in Chiang Mai City, but Joey just didn't agree. Thunder is not a bandit army, but the mercenaries are not enough to support their families with their salaries alone, especially a guy like Joey who comes from a big family, and spends money like running water, and the mercenaries want their families to live comfortably by capturing the spoils of war.

Thailand is a Buddhist country, and there are many famous monasteries in the territory, especially in Chiang Mai Province, which is now under siege, and many of the Buddha statues in those temples are gilded or gilded, and some are inlaid with precious stones. Before the war, the boss Zhao Zhi secretly ordered the troops to enter Thailand, Thunder wanted a piece of land with development potential, not a dilapidated abandoned land that had been robbed, Joey could manage not to rob those Thai monasteries, but he could not guarantee that he could control his soldiers, so he was waiting for the follow-up Jewish infantry to arrive, and those Jews did not seem to be very keen on seizing the booty.

The first batch of 5,000 Jewish troops to enter Thailand left 500 and the wounded to ensure the smooth passage, the remaining 2,000 were in the rout of the scattered Thai elephants, and another 2,000 were following the footsteps of the armored division, and Joey was waiting for them. "Head, the Thai army has raised a white flag to us, will you accept it?" The good news came from Joey's officers, and under the strong bombardment of the armored division, the Thai troops who had been placed in the outer defense line of Chiang Mai by Nakai began to surrender voluntarily, although it was only a thousand men, but it was a good start.

"Collect, why don't you accept it, tell the guys who surrendered to shout to the other Thai soldiers, telling them all to surrender." The Japanese army has only one wing of strength in Chiang Mai, and the majority is the Thai army, as long as the Thai army can be stopped, the remaining Japanese army is not a problem at all, maybe a group attack by the armored division can take Chiang Mai. Whole cigarettes, whole boxes of liquor, and delicious canned food were distributed to the Thai army that had surrendered, and the Thai army, which had always been treated like a second-rate army, had such treatment, and after a wolfing meal, more than a dozen Thai army officers took the initiative to carry cigarettes and cans to persuade other Thai troops to surrender.

"Ba Ge Yalu, these damned Thais, tell the gendarmerie to lock up all the Thai officers in the city and let our men take over the command of the Thai troops." More and more Thai troops voluntarily surrendered on the outlying positions, and there were even incidents of formations surrendering to armored divisions with weapons. Nakai, who learned of all this, was so angry that he directly ordered all the Thai army officers in the city to be put in prison, disrupted the Thai troops in the city, and handed over the command to the Japanese army.

Nakai's approach was not wrong, but the timing of his current move was wrong, Chiang Mai was besieged, and all the people were already panicking, Nakai not only took those Thai army officers into custody, but also disorganized all the Thai troops in the city and reorganized them into an army. In addition, not many of the Japanese officers sent by Nakai to take over the Thai army can speak Thai, and all orders must be issued by the translator's mouth, and people will make mistakes when they are in a hurry, and those Thai interpreters are not excluded, in the face of strong coercion of Japanese officers, the orders issued by Thai interpreters are often in the opposite direction, and the entire city of Chiang Mai has become a pot of porridge.

The well in the city is like pins and needles, but outside the city Joey is as happy as a fairy, using only a few cigarettes, liquor and cans to contain more than 10,000 Thai troops who voluntarily surrendered, and as time goes on, this number continues to grow, Joey believes that if he has more stocks of cans and liquor, the voluntarily surrendered Thai troops are likely to reach 20,000. "Let the surrendered Thai army dig trenches around Chiang Mai, since the guys inside are not far away from surrendering, then it is better to trap them here." Unable to let the surrendered Thai army idle to consume their supplies in vain, Joy thought for a while, and finally found an idea for them to consume their physical strength.

Joey's armored division plus the infantry under the armored division is only 5,000 people, and the Thai army that came to surrender has exceeded 10,000 people. But if you want to wait for it to get dark and shoot all these surrendered troops, Joey can't make up her mind, this is more than 10,000 Thai troops, not more than 10,000 chickens. Even if you put more than 10,000 chicks in front of your eyes and let yourself shoot them, it can't be solved in a moment, not to mention that you have to consume a lot of your own ammunition, and Joey won't do such a loss-making thing.

Finding something for them to do and consuming their physical strength is undoubtedly the safest way, don't look at the Thai army with more than 10,000 people, but if they are really tired like soft-footed shrimp, Joey can watch them with only 1,000 people. More than 10,000 Thai troops were divided into 3,000 teams, and the armored division could only make up 3,000 sapper shovels to provide them with trenches, so the surrendered Thai troops who were ordered to dig trenches would participate in the work in shifts, and they would not be free until the trenches were completed.

"Head, are you really going to let them go? I mean, if they do dig these trenches. One of Joey's officers was a little unsure, none of them expected that these surrendered Thai troops would be so peaceful, and the speed of digging trenches was almost comparable to that of mercenaries, and there was no dissatisfaction on these guys' faces.

"God, Tom, is your brain fooled by the climate?" Joey, who was holding a cigarette, squinted at the officer who was asking, and said with a smile, "The boss has a lot of mines in Myanmar waiting for a large number of laborers to work, don't you think these Thais are born laborers?" You see how powerful their actions are, I think even our mercenaries can't match them when digging trenches, and these resources shouldn't be wasted. Joey shrugged and grinned, his words full of contempt.

Joey knows that his boss Zhao Zhi is not a nationalist, but the boss seems to have an inexplicable ruthlessness towards the Japanese in his bones, since these damn Thais wear a pair of pants with the Japanese, then don't blame themselves that they are laborers, if it is the boss here, these guys don't know if they can save their lives. He is a devout believer, and he is already like God compared to a ruthless boss.

As Joey said, these dark-skinned and small-skinned Thais were indeed the best laborers, and by the time the 2,000 Jewish infantry arrived, there was already a trench outside Chiang Mai that was more than 3,000 meters long and 2 meters deep, and Joey believed that if these Thais were given half a day, they would be able to dig a trench around the entire city.
