At the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, the Japanese battleship "Mutsu", the heavy cruiser "Chokai" and the heavy cruiser "Maya" were still firing frantically. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEach of the main turrets is firing shells weighing hundreds of kilograms or even tons into the city of Bangkok.

A powerful bomb that blew up the city of Bangkok. There are craters all over the place. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army stationed in Bangkok began to suffer more and more losses under the shelling of the Japanese army.

Although the battleship "Mutsu" only had four twin 410 mm guns, the two heavy cruisers had only ten twin 203 mm guns. Such a number is only equivalent to two heavy artillery battalions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, in terms of power, I don't know how far the heavy artillery battalion of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will be thrown out.

On the bridge of the battleship Mutsu, Yamasumi Sadajiro Osaku was using a telescope to watch the effects of the shelling. It's just that because it's so far away, you can only watch the city of Bangkok from a distance shrouded in gunsmoke and fire.

However, Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa believed that under their fierce shelling, the losses of the anti-Japanese salvation army in the city would definitely be quite large.

"How's the situation in Bangkok?" Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa asked.

"Your Excellency, according to the reports of observers in Bangkok, our shelling has achieved very good results, and the urban areas controlled by the Chinese are being shelled by us little by little. It is estimated that soon, they will be able to run them all over. A staff officer reported.

"That's good. It would be nice if you could directly use heavy artillery fire to kill all the people who attacked the city of Bangkok. Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa sighed.

"Your Excellency, the people of China have no way to fight our naval guns. If they don't retreat from the city of Bangkok, we will be able to wipe them all out. The staff officer said.

Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa nodded. Of course, he knew it was impossible. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is not a fool, how can it be stupid to resist their shelling there? How can flesh and blood fight against naval artillery? Isn't that looking for death?

"Contact Your Excellency the Commander to make sure the carrier-based aircraft has taken off. Our shelling, it's been a while. It is impossible for the people of China not to know about our arrival. The powerful air power possessed by the people of China should not be underestimated. Yamasumi Sadajiro Osaku commanded.

Although, he looked down on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. But in reality, he is still a very cautious person. Otherwise, how could he have become the captain of a battleship?

"Hi, Your Excellency." The staff officer nodded.

"By the way, let the fleet's anti-aircraft guns also be ready!" Yamasumi Sadajiro Osaku ordered.

The battleships Mutsu, the heavy cruisers Chokai and Maya, and the destroyers Asahun and Yamaun all possessed strong anti-aircraft firepower. While the Japanese army attached great importance to air operations, it also attached great importance to air defense. In particular, competing with the US Navy in the Pacific Ocean has given them unique views on fleet air defense. These warships are specially equipped with anti-aircraft firepower. Yamasumi Sadajiro Osa believed that even if the air force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had strong combat effectiveness, it might not be able to break through their air defense network and attack their warships.

After all, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was established not long after all, only half a year. In such a situation, can you expect the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to be so elite?

"Your Excellency, we have prepared for air defense." An air defense commander reported.

The Japanese artillery formation had the battleship 'Mutsu' in the center, the heavy cruisers 'Chokai' and 'Maya' in the front and rear, and the destroyers 'Asakumo' and 'Yamaun' on the left and right. The battleship Mutsu was protected in the middle. Of course, the mouth of the Chao Phraya River is not wide, and if it is attacked, the space for dodging is too narrow. So, these warships are specially turned around. In the event of an attack, they can sail to the Gulf of Thailand as soon as possible.

In the city of Bangkok, the headquarters of the Japanese Thai Front, a cadre of Japanese lieutenant generals and major generals, all gathered together. These people include not only the commanders and chiefs of staff of the Thai Front, but also the commanders and chiefs of staff of the 2nd Army and the 38th Army, as well as the division commanders and brigade commanders below. Everyone's faces were full of smiles, sweeping away the previous decadence and despair.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this time, those damned Shina people have finally tasted our awesomeness. Such a fierce naval cannon of the navy was enough to make the people of China pay a heavy price. "The commander of the 2nd Army, Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, had a smile on his face.

Other Japanese generals also echoed it. They seem to have forgotten that there is a huge contradiction between the Japanese army and navy. Of course, maybe they haven't forgotten, but they have only forgotten selectively.

"Well, this time, with the help of the Navy, we can inflict heavy losses on the China. In any case, defeating the people of China is our unanimous goal. Is our artillery ready? Immediately began shelling. Half an hour later, the ministries launched a counterattack and drove the people out of Bangkok in one fell swoop. Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The generals nodded one after another.

The artillery of the Japanese army, originally destroyed by the artillery and aviation of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in the previous war. However, after the arrival of reinforcements, they still had a large artillery force. The 55th Division was armed with a total of 12 105-mm howitzers and 44 75-mm field guns. The 57th Brigade and the 128th Brigade each had 18 75-mm field guns, and the 2nd Marine Mobile Brigade was also equipped with 18 75-mm mountain guns and field guns. In total, there are hundreds of cannons.

Without the support of the navy, these artillery pieces of the Japanese army would not be enough to stuff the teeth of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, with the support of the Navy, they can also launch a counterattack.

The Japanese artillery joined the shelling, so that the losses of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army began to increase further.

Half an hour later, Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda gave the order to counterattack.

The three main infantry wings of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, the ten infantry battalions of the two independent mixed brigades, and the three infantry battalions of the 2nd Marine Mobile Brigade all participated in the counterattack.

For a time, more than 20,000 Japanese infantry, supported by heavy artillery fire, launched a fierce attack on the position of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
