Chapter 292: Mountains and Seas
"Your Excellency, the Commander, the people of China have attacked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info They gathered more than 600 cannons and fiercely shelled the positions on the front line. Now there are heavy losses on the front-line positions. There were many casualties, and at the same time our fortifications were destroyed a lot. Major General Kunitaro Yamada, chief of staff of the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army, looked panicked at the moment, and had already lost his previous self-confidence.
"Yaga! Damn the Shina people. They always attack with the advantage of firepower. On the battlefield in Burma, they did just that. Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura's face was gloomy.
"Could it be that our fortifications can't withstand the shelling of the Chinese people?" Lieutenant General Moriya Jinger's face was also a little ugly.
"General, the people of China used a lot of heavy artillery, and more than half of the more than 600 cannons were heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters. Our fortifications simply cannot withstand the heavy artillery of the China. Major General Kunitaro Yamada was a little frustrated.
Although, these Japanese generals all believed that the combat effectiveness and quality of the Japanese soldiers were far stronger than those of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, in terms of weapons and equipment, they have never been able to compare with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which hugged the thigh of US imperialism. With the support of the Americans, the equipment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is no different from that of the US Army. Even, the firepower is even more powerful. For the poorly equipped Ri* himself, it is completely equivalent to being armed to the teeth. In contrast, the Japanese army will inevitably be at a disadvantage on the battlefield.
"Your Excellency the Commander, General Shibata and General Isoda are all asking for support. What do we do now? Major General Kunitaro Yamada asked.
Without a doubt, this is a very tricky question. Originally, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura also wanted the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to break his head and bleed in front of their defense line. But now it seems that the battle has just begun, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has first caused the Japanese army to pay heavy casualties with its sharp artillery fire. This undoubtedly made Lieutenant General Nakamura Akito's plan completely fail. If they don't do it well, it will make them at a disadvantage in this battle and unable to win.
"Send a telegram to Shibata-kun and Isoda-kun and tell them to hold on and resist the attack of the Shina people. In addition, a telegram was sent to the command of the 3rd Air Army, requesting them to send warplanes to bomb the artillery positions of the Chinese people. As long as the artillery of the Shina people is destroyed, they will be powerless to take our defenses. It will be much easier for us to defeat them. Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura ordered.
In the last battle, the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army was almost completely wiped out by the Air Force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. However, after a few months of recuperation, the flight division was also rebuilt. A large number of pilots and fighters were transferred from Japan to Thailand, so that their strength was restored. It's just a pity. The strength of the Air Force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has also not stopped, but has been developing rapidly. The current air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has once again improved a lot in strength compared with before. If the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army wanted to compete with the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force for air supremacy, they could only bring humiliation on themselves in the end.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Kunitaro Yamada nodded. It's just that he also has no bottom in his heart. The Japanese army dispatched planes, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army obviously would not sit idly by. I am afraid that this will only lead to a new round of struggle for air supremacy. If the Japanese army cannot ensure air supremacy, they will be even more disadvantaged in the next battle.
"Damn the Shina people, if you want to defeat us, it's impossible. This victory will definitely belong to the Imperial Army of the Great Day *Ben Empire! Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura swore secretly.
On the front-line battlefield, the shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army continued. The cannons are still roaring. Orange-red flames shone in the muzzle of the cannon, and one after another, shells roared and smashed towards the positions of the Japanese-Thai coalition forces. These shells contain the anger of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army against the Japanese army.
Sun Changwu, commander of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and Yu Chengyin, chief of staff, stood on a hill next to the headquarters and watched the artillerymen's performance. Many artillerymen, because of the hot weather, had their military uniforms soaked. Some artillerymen even took off their clothes altogether, operated the cannons bare-chested, and worked hard to carry the shells.
"Chief of Staff, in terms of firepower, our Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is definitely first-class. Little Japan, which is just a small country, how can it confront us? Sun Changwu looked a little high-spirited.
"Yes! In just a few months, not even a year is in time. We're where we are today, and in retrospect, it's like a dream! Yu Chengyin said with emotion.
Sun Changwu also nodded again and again, they were just a battalion commander in the expeditionary force. Now, in fact, it has only been more than half a year, and they have become the commander and chief of staff of more than 100,000 elite troops. Moreover, the military rank has also been directly promoted from the previous major to lieutenant general. Of course, this military rank will not be recognized in China. But what does it matter? Whether the country recognizes it or not, they don't care anymore.
"We're going step by step, and everything is under the control of the commander! Now it seems that the commander's ambitions are not limited to Burma. In this battle, we want to take Thailand. In the future, we will take more places, even the whole of the South Seas. Sun Changwu said.
In fact, these senior generals of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army already knew Qin Shou's ambitions. It's just that although they feel that Qin Shou's ambition is a little too big. But again, it also makes them feel their blood boiling. If Qin Shou's plan can succeed, then what kind of great achievements will they establish!
"Let's not talk about things that far away, let's do what is in front of us first. First defeat the Japanese and the Thais in front of you, and then take over Thailand! Sun Changwu suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Yu Chengyin nodded, his gaze turned to the battlefield.
It was at this point that the bombers of the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army appeared on the battlefield. Two squadrons of B-25 medium bombers and one squadron of B-24 heavy bombers, under the cover of two squadrons of P-51B fighters, began the bombing.
Bombs were dropped from bombers. The positions of the Japanese-Thai forces on the ground were completely shrouded in smoke and fire. The people who watched all this from a distance felt a kind of overwhelming momentum and came straight to it.
