The Gulf of Thailand is a large area of the sea in southern Thailand. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because the strength of the Thai Navy is weak. So, it was controlled by the British all along. It was not until the Japanese attacked Southeast Asia on a large scale and the British were defeated that this sea area fell into the hands of the Japanese himself.

It's just that the strength of the Japanese navy is strong. But as the U.S. has invested more and more power in the Pacific theater. As a result, the Japanese navy is becoming more and more exhausted. In order to confront the US Navy, the Japanese Navy even had to transfer a large number of warships to the Combined Fleet. This also makes the strength of the Japanese navy very empty in other aspects. So much so that their transport fleets, which are often attacked by American submarines. A large number of ships carrying various supplies and personnel were sunk in the sea.

Although, the Japanese navy also has a huge submarine force. It's just that the tactics used by the Japanese submarine themselves are very problematic. Their submarines are mainly used to attack enemy military warships. However, after the advent of sonar, it is undoubtedly very difficult to attack the enemy's warships. If discovered, there is a danger of being sunk by depth charges.

In addition, the submarines of the Japanese Navy have also taken on an important task. That is to support the besieged army. In the battle for the islands in the Pacific. Because of the defeat of the Combined Fleet, many islands where the Japanese army was stationed fell into the encirclement of the Americans. Although the Japanese officers and soldiers on the island would rather die than surrender, they fought to the death. But how long will they be able to hold out in the face of a severe shortage of supplies and weapons?

In order to ensure that these officers and men defending the islands could continue to hold on, the Japanese army came up with a plan to use submarines to transport supplies to these encircled islands, hoping that these officers and men defending the islands would continue to hold out and gain more time for Japan.

It can be said that this tactic of the Japanese * himself is really a big mistake. If their hundreds of submarines were to attack the U.S. transport lines in the Pacific, using the same wolf pack tactics as the Germans' submarine forces. If the Americans want to launch a counteroffensive in the Pacific, I am afraid it will be very difficult. Ri* himself wouldn't have been cornered so quickly.

In the Gulf of Thailand in February, the wind is calm. A huge fleet of ships is sailing dozens of kilometers east of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. This fleet transported more than 30,000 people from the 35th and 36th Divisions under the 2nd Army of the Japanese Army and their equipment. They departed from the Indonesian archipelago and were transported to Thailand by hundreds of merchant ships and transport ships provided by the Japanese navy.

The current war situation in Thailand is very unfavorable to Japan and Japan. Therefore, the Southern Army hurriedly dispatched troops from other battlefields to the battlefield in Thailand. Originally, the 2nd Army was planned to be used to land in Australia. However, the development of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was in full swing, which had already posed a great threat to the Japanese themselves. As a last resort, the Southern Army had to give up its operational plan to go south to Australia, and first concentrate all its efforts to wipe out the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

After all, Nanyang has become the foundation for Japan's war of aggression against foreign countries. The various war resources of the South Seas are completely indispensable to Japan. Without the loss of the South Seas, Japan's war machine will not be able to function. Therefore, I must do my best to keep Nanyang. This is undoubtedly the most important thing for them.

On a transport ship, Lieutenant General Kazuyoshi Sakanishi, commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army, and Lieutenant General Iseki Tsuya, commander of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army, were talking.

"Jing Guanjun, I heard that the main force of the people of China has descended south from Pak Lanpo. They are advancing very fast, and it will take them a maximum of ten days to advance to the vicinity of Bangkok. The pressure on Your Excellency the Commander is very great! Lieutenant General Kazura Sakanishi sighed.

The generals of the Japanese army probably never thought that the war situation would be so corrosive. Once upon a time, the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire was invincible, fighting the British and Americans, and could not do anything. Such a record made all the Japanese soldiers very excited.

However, in less than a few years, the situation has become so difficult. The situation changed so quickly that these Japanese generals were caught off guard, and they didn't dare to believe it at all, and they didn't dare to accept this fact.

"Yes! At present, in addition to the independent mixed 29th Brigade and the 5th Engineer Corps Headquarters left by the 18th Front Army, there are only the 5th and 32nd Divisions of our 2nd Army, and the 2nd Division of the 38th Army. Once the Shina people attack, it is really very difficult to say whether they will be able to withstand their attack. Lieutenant General Jing also sighed.

At the beginning, the Japanese * himself did not take the cowardly Chinese in his eyes at all. It is impossible for the Chinese to form any powerful army. On the Chinese battlefield, they did defeat the Chinese* army one after another, and many times won more with less. One brigade can defeat a division of the Chinese * army. A wing, even a corps that dares to resist the Chinese * army.

However, on the battlefield of the South Seas, everything has changed. Not to mention that the Japanese army won more with less, even with the same number of troops, it was definitely not the opponent of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and in turn was defeated and retreated by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Even, in the case of superior troops, it is also not the opponent of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army! Under such circumstances, the worldview of these Japanese generals seemed to collapse with a bang.

"I hope that this time, after gathering all the forces of our 2nd Army and 38th Army, we will be able to defeat the Shina people in one fell swoop. As long as we defeat them once on the battlefield. It will be much easier to defeat them in the future. Lieutenant General Kazura Sakanishi said.

Lieutenant General Jing Kan nodded, the Japanese army has failed in all battles with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. This also made many Japanese officers and soldiers have a trace of fear of the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The generals of the Japanese army knew that they could not continue like this. Otherwise, they will completely lose the opportunity to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Neither Lieutenant General Sakanishi Kazuyoshi nor Lieutenant General Ikaseki was found. They're about to be in trouble. Overhead, on the clouds at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, two P-51B fighters were observing the flotilla below with the help of the clouds.

"Report to HQ that we've found the China." The pilot of the long plane commanded.

Immediately, the location of the Japanese fleet, the number of ships, etc., were reported to the headquarters.
