Chapter 435: The Battle of Despair
On February 21, the attack on Bangkok by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army resumed again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Although, yesterday they evacuated Bangkok in order to hide from the Japanese naval guns. However, on the edge of downtown Bangkok, they left several strongholds as a forward base for the next offensive. Now, these strongholds come in handy. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army could directly pass through these strongholds and put its troops into combat in the city of Bangkok.
Of course, before the infantry is put into the attack, fire preparations such as shelling and bombardment are naturally indispensable. Hundreds of 155-mm heavy howitzers, 200 105-mm light howitzers, and more than 300 75-mm field guns once again carried out heavy shelling of the city of Bangkok.
Although, at this moment, the downtown area of Bangkok has long been reduced to ruins. However, in order to eliminate as much as possible the Japanese troops entrenched in the city of Bangkok and destroy their fortifications, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has never been stingy in terms of fire support.
At the same time, the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army also dispatched a large number of bombers to bomb important Japanese strongholds in Bangkok. A large number of aerial bombs rained down, destroying all these Japanese strongholds.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Violent explosions resounded in downtown Bangkok. The whole city of Bangkok is like the end of the world. Everywhere there were explosions, everywhere there were people torn to pieces by shells or bombs, stumps and broken arms and so on, and they were flying everywhere, as if people were in hell.
"Boom!" A 155-mm shell, which hit one of the Japanese bunkers.
This bunker was dug in a hurry by the Japanese army last night. Therefore, the defense is naturally not very good. Originally, these Japanese soldiers did not expect to use these bunkers. They thought that with the support of the naval fleet, even if they could not completely defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, at least there would be no problem in holding Bangkok. The power of the naval guns is so strong that if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army dares to attack, the naval guns will make them unable to eat and go around.
But who knew that the task force would lose so quickly and so badly. made these Japanese troops stationed in Bangkok become turtles in the urn surrounded by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Therefore, they could only desperately build fortifications, hoping to hold out for a longer time under the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
In the violent explosion, the bunker was blown apart in one fell swoop. A Type 92 heavy machine gun deployed here was blown up on the spot. Most of the dozen or so Japanese soldiers hiding inside died. The rest fled in disarray.
In the fierce shelling and bombardment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Japanese strongholds in Bangkok were destroyed one after another. At the same time, the Japanese troops in the city also suffered heavy casualties. Although, there were still more than 50,000 and nearly 60,000 Japanese troops in the city of Bangkok. However, they were completely unable to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Not to mention anything else, the morale of the troops alone is already in constant decline. Under such circumstances, can they still be expected to fight bravely and fight desperately against the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army?
Of course, such troops are not absent. Hi* himself was known for his paranoia. Once they fall into a desperate situation, some of them will lose the will to resist. But in the same way, there will be people who will become even more crazy.
The preparation of the firepower of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army lasted for two hours. Of course, this was undoubtedly a good time for the Japanese army in Bangkok. However, for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, such firepower preparations are nothing more than ordinary. It's not that the artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army doesn't want to continue shelling, but because the reserves of shells are no longer enough. A large number of shells, which need to be brought from Burma. The previous battle has been almost consumed. Even if there were two baggage brigades to transport these war materials, some of them could not be supplied.
Fortunately, Bangkok has long been bombed into ruins, and the Japanese fortifications in the city have been almost destroyed by the previous shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, so naturally there is no need to worry about it anymore.
"Attack!" At 10 o'clock in the morning, Qin Shou gave the order to attack.
Six infantry divisions, each with an infantry regiment, divided into six routes, stormed the city of Bangkok.
At the same time, the tank battalions of the armored brigade and various infantry divisions also entered the city with these infantry, helping these infantry and clearing the resistance of the Japanese troops in the city.
Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the infantry of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army began to attack the city of Bangkok, where the Japanese were entrenched, from various strongholds. All the Japanese troops who stood in their way were crushed to pieces.
"Warriors of the Dainichi * Empire, it is time to be loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, take up your weapons and attack the Shina people. Even if we die in battle, our souls will return to Kudanzaka and be worshiped by the world. A Japanese army captain said to his hundreds of Japanese soldiers.
The eyes of these Japanese soldiers were full of fanaticism. Although, they all knew that this time it was certain death. However, if they can enter the Yasukuni Shrine after death and receive offerings from Hito* himself, then death is nothing to them at all.
"Yo Xi, attack! Kill all those chinas. The Japanese captain was very satisfied with the performance of his soldiers, and immediately gave the order to attack.
On a street not far from them, an infantry platoon of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, led by an M3 light tank, was clearing the street of Japanese remnants.
At this time, hundreds of Japanese troops poured into the streets, and they launched a fierce attack on this infantry platoon of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army with bayonets in their rifles.
"Da Da Da!" The M3 light tank reacted first and immediately began strafing.
Heavy machine-gun fire swept past, knocking many Japanese soldiers to the ground. However, this did not frighten these Japanese troops, who stepped on the corpses of their fallen comrades and continued to attack.
"Open fire and kill these days* myself. Call for company support. The second lieutenant platoon commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army calmly gave the order.
"Da Da Da!"
Light and heavy machine guns began to strafe, combined with the fire of the M3 light tanks, slaughtering these Japanese soldiers.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
The M1 semi-automatic rifles in the hands of the soldiers were also constantly firing, using powerful firepower to stop the attack of these Japanese troops.
Although, the Japanese army has an absolute advantage in terms of troops. However, the street was not wide, so it was impossible for the Japanese army to exert its strength at all. At the same time, they were hit by the fire of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which directly turned the Japanese attack into suicide.
