Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the offensive of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army became more and more fierce, more and more urban areas were lost by the Japanese army. At present, more than 40 percent of the entire urban area of Bangkok has fallen into the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. There are fewer and fewer positions in the hands of the Japanese army. Their living space is constantly oppressed.

In addition, the continuous fighting caused more and more losses of the Japanese troops. Whether it was the 2nd Division or the 5th Division, as well as the 32nd Division and the 29th Brigade Regiment formed by the independent mixed regiment, nearly half of them had already been lost. As for the 5th and 6th armies of the Thai Army, they have long collapsed. Because of the heavy losses, these Thais simply did not dare to continue fighting. The vast majority of the people surrendered to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Only a small part remained, and the part of the people who had a close relationship with Japan and could not get off the ship was still following the Japanese army to resist the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

However, their resistance seems to be nothing more than a trapped beast, making a final struggle. As the offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army became more and more fierce. The outcome of this battle seems to be doomed.

Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda was in the headquarters, and whenever he heard the news of the defeat at the front, he was very irritable. Because, defeats again and again, he seems to be getting closer and closer to death. Once Bangkok completely falls, he, the temporary commander of the Thai Front, will have to take responsibility for this failure. There is only one way to take responsibility, and that is to apologize for seppuku as a sign of loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.

The Japanese soldiers may not be afraid of death. However, watching yourself step by step towards death like this is undoubtedly unbearable. Even Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda has changed his temper greatly because of this. The officers in the headquarters were all trembling, for fear that they would cause trouble.

"Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram from the chief of the temple." The Chief of Staff, Major General Hanaya Masa, reported.

"Is it another telegram reprimanding us for our disadvantage?" Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda didn't even raise his head, and asked directly. He is also full of anger towards General Terauchi now. I think that if it weren't for General Terauchi Shouichi, who asked him to serve as the temporary commander of the Thai Front, he would not have encountered such a situation. His chief of staff of the Southern Army was a good one, and in terms of status, he was no worse than the commander of the Thai Front. However, because the relationship between him and General Terauchi Shouichi was not harmonious, General Terauchi deliberately framed him in this way.

After all, after the last crushing defeat of the Southern Army in Burma, the base camp ordered the transfer of the Chief of Staff of the Southern Army, General Tsukada Takeshi, back to his post in the country, and appointed Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda as Chief of Staff of the Southern Army, which was a warning to General Terauchi Shouichi. This naturally made General Terauchi very dissatisfied with this. For Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku, he is also very resistant. He was made the commander of the Thai Front just to kick him out.

Of course, General Terauchi did not expect that the war situation in Thailand would become like this.

When the battle situation in Bangkok continued to deteriorate and the Japanese losses became heavier and heavier, General Terauchi Shouichi sent a telegram to reprimand them. This also made Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku even more dissatisfied with General Terauchi Shouichi.

"No, Your Excellency, this time it is not a telegram of rebuke, but good news." Major General Hanaya Masa, with a smile on his face.

"Good news? What's the good news? Could it be that reinforcements are coming? Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda said disdainfully.

They had sent several telegrams asking General Shouichi Terauchi to send reinforcements. However, General Terauchi refused on the grounds that the Gulf of Thailand was still under the control of the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and could not send troops to take risks.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Indeed, the governor of the temple had promised to send reinforcements. Major General Hanaya said.

"What? How is this possible? Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku looked incredulous.

"That's right, Your Excellency, Commander. The Terauchi Governor pleaded with the Navy and sent a powerful task force to reinforce the Thai battlefield. Soon, the fleet will arrive. When the time comes, the fleet will escort our reinforcements to Bangkok. And, help us defeat the Chinese people. Major General Hanaya said.

"Is this true? It's not lying to us, is it? "Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda, I can't believe it.

"It's true, Your Excellency, it's all true. The prefect of the temple asked us to hold out for another three days. In three days, reinforcements will arrive. Major General Hanaya said.

"Haha, that's great, it's so good. Sure enough, it's the road to the sky! Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda laughed, and the previous decadence and despair were swept away. The whole person is as if he has risen from hell to heaven all at once.

Originally, Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda thought that this time he would definitely die. He even thought about how to make himself suffer as little as possible during seppuku. However, I didn't expect the turnaround to come so quickly!

"The current situation, although very unfavorable for us. However, we still have tens of thousands of loyal soldiers. Stick to it for three days, and it shouldn't be a problem. Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Once the fleet regained control of the Gulf of Thailand, reinforcements would continue to arrive. We will be able to keep fighting back against the people and defeat them in one fell swoop. Major General Hanaya also said happily.

"Well, let's go and invite Machijiri-kun to come, and I want to share this good news with them. Then convey it to the whole army, so that the officers and men of the whole army can be happy. Then he reinvigorated his morale and fought to the death with the Shina people. Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Hanaya nodded repeatedly.

Soon, Lieutenant General Yoshio and Lieutenant General Machijiri Ryoki arrived last month. They thought something was wrong again.

However, when General Kuroda Shigetoku told both of them the news of the impending reinforcements, both were dumbfounded, followed by loud cheers. For them, this is also hell to heaven! I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that there would be one more way to live!

"Great, it's great. I knew that the country would not allow the people of China to run rampant. How could the great empire allow the people of China to be arrogant? As long as we face up to the people of China, with the great strength of the Dainichi Empire, we can crush the people of China at any time. Lieutenant General Yoshio last month smiled.

"This time, we hold on to Bangkok, and there is complete hope. If reinforcements can continue to arrive, it is not impossible to defeat the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Machijiri was also confident.
