Chapter 394: City Siege
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The shelling of Bangkok by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army continued. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info especially after completely crushing the Japanese artillery, all the artillery joined in the bombardment of Bangkok. The powerful power of a 155mm heavy howitzer directly caused the buildings in Bangkok to be reduced to rubble in the fierce shelling.
In addition, the bombers of the anti-Japanese salvation army air force also joined in. Heavy aerial bombs are more powerful. A street, often with just a few heavy bombs, is completely destroyed.
If you look down from the sky, you can clearly see that the city of Bangkok is turning into ruins little by little. And the culprit is naturally the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
The Japanese troops defending Bangkok had no way at all under the fierce shelling and bombardment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. The counterattack of their artillery, as it has already been proven, is simply a joke. In the heavy artillery suppression of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the bombing of the air force, heavy losses have already been taken. The Japanese air defense units also suffered heavy losses in the shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the bombing of the air force. So much so that in the face of the bombing of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they had no choice but to bear it silently.
The Japanese underground headquarters was shaking as the shells and bombs landed, getting closer and closer. The dust on the ceiling kept falling, making the Japanese officers working in the headquarters look dusty. The electric lights hanging from the ceiling were constantly shaking, making the dim lights even more blurry.
In the conference room, Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda sat in the first place, his face gloomy and sulking. The other Japanese generals also had very ugly faces. The battle has just begun. However, their losses are already growing. If this continues, they may not be able to hold out in Bangkok at all!
"Your Excellency, the 2nd Field Artillery Wing, the 5th Wing, the 32nd Wing and the 29th Brigade of the Artillery Regiment, the loss report has been reported." Major General Hanaya reported.
"Read it!" Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda said expressionlessly.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Hanaya nodded, and then looked at the Japanese generals.
"In the morning artillery battle, the 2nd Wing, 5th Wing, 32nd Wing of the Field Artillery and the artillery of the 29th Brigade Regiment of the Independent Artillery lost a total of 28 105-mm howitzers and 122 75-mm field guns. That is, the remaining artillery was only 8 105-mm howitzers and 22 75-mm field guns. On the artillery side, more than three thousand people in the morning. Major General Hanaya read.
There was silence for a while. Obviously, in that contest, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army once again used their strength to make the Japanese themselves ruthlessly planted. Originally, the artillery strength of the Japanese army was greatly inferior to that of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. This time, after heavy losses, they had no way to confront the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
More importantly, after losing these artillery, their defensive firepower will once again be greatly reduced in the face of the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. When the time comes, relying on street fighting, will it really be able to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army? In the minds of many Japanese generals, there is already a big question mark. The attack power of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is too strong. So much so that the real attack of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had not yet begun, and the Japanese army paid heavy losses. If this continues, how can this battle be fought!
"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, they are so despicable. A large number of heavy artillery pieces were hidden in advance. This is clearly digging a hole for us, waiting for us to jump down! Lieutenant General Yoshio last month scolded.
That being said, if they want to blame, I'm afraid they have to blame themselves! If they hadn't foolishly jumped into the trap of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, there would not have been such a big loss.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. This is clearly the trap of the Shina people. In order to destroy our artillery, they also sent a large number of bombers. It can be seen that this is clearly a long-planned conspiracy of the Shina people. Lieutenant General Machijiri agreed.
Although, they all blame the defeat on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, this does not change the fact that their strength has suffered a heavy blow now, and it is difficult to hold on in the face of the next attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
There is no doubt that after suffering heavy losses again, the Japanese army's plan to inflict heavy losses on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army through street fighting in Bangkok may be difficult to realize. Under such circumstances, it became equally unlikely that the Japanese army would want to hold on to Bangkok.
Hearing everyone say this, Kuroda Shigetoku's face looked a little better. Although, he knew that these guys were just trying to flatter him, so he deliberately shirked responsibility. However, it still sounds very comfortable.
What's more, this battle may really end in defeat. At that time, he, the temporary commander, may only have the only way to commit suicide. Before you die, it's not a big deal to be flattered.
"Gentlemen, the people of China are too cunning. This makes us need to be more cautious in the next battle with the Chinese people. Otherwise, we will be the ones who will suffer at that time. Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda said.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." All the Japanese generals replied.
"The shelling and bombardment of the people of China continues. However, I am sure that they will not continue with endless shelling and bombardment. Their shells and bombs need to be brought from distant Burma. This will be a huge test for their logistical supply lines. Therefore, I believe that the shelling of the people of China will end soon. When the time comes, what will really determine the outcome of this war will still be street fighting. In street fighting, we will definitely defeat the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda said.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." All the Japanese generals replied. It's as if they can really defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in street fighting.
The heavy shelling and bombardment by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army lasted for two days before it ended. By the time the shelling and bombardment were over, the whole of Bangkok was almost in ruins. The Japanese army and the Thai army defending Bangkok suffered extremely heavy losses in the shelling and bombing.
Early in the morning of February 15, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army began its attack on Bangkok. Six infantry divisions, each with an infantry regiment, split into six lanes and attacked the city of Bangkok. A tragic battle for the city began immediately.
