The talks between Chief Chu and Lin Xiuxuan's group reached a consensus: the Japanese army will definitely carry out an amphibious landing and drop its main force to this area to save the current situation. At present, the Japanese army is launching an offensive in the area of Changde, Hunan, so it is impossible to free up too many troops from the mainland to enter the Indochina Peninsula, and even if the Japanese army or the Kwantung Army from the mainland draw troops, it will be too late in time, so it will inevitably move their minds. The safe way was, of course, to transport the troops to Nha Trang, Vietnam, and then use the railway to enter Cambodia, but that was still too slow, and there was no spare capacity to transport the Japanese army in Guangxi by rail. So they won't take this path. Then it is a better choice to land directly in Kampong Flood Bay, which is still in the hands of the Japanese, and it is not too far from Zhou Youfu. Once landed, one could immediately plunge into the battle to capture Phnom Penh.

Of course, the discussion is not the only one. At the end of the meeting, Lin Xiuxuan raised the possibility that the Japanese might also land in Bangkok. Of course, there is a certain possibility, but Chu Tingchang is inclined that the Japanese will not do this, because it is very difficult to operate, after all, Bangkok is in their own hands. Moreover, 419 is in the Gulf of Siam, and it is really difficult to play such a dark Chen Cang under her nose. He felt that he only had to keep an eye on the enemy, and if they intended to land in Bangkok, they would definitely leak a few days in advance, and then he could use the railroad to quickly mobilize his forces and annihilate the enemy and the beach.

Lin Xiuxuan did not further emphasize his judgment, but judging from the landing of the Japanese in Australia, the Japanese army has strengthened the special landing ships, and it is no longer the same as when Jinshanwei landed, completely relying on small boats. In addition, several of the Army's aircraft carriers (actually close to amphibious assault ships) are likely to provide support, and beach-grabbing assault boats are already in use in New Guinea and Australia. Of course, these advanced vehicles are limited in their ability to deliver, so the enemy must capture a port in order to unload the entire division and heavy weapons. Both Bangkok and Kampong Xun Port, in terms of infrastructure, are possible.

He decided not to rush to make a judgment and wait for 419's reconnaissance information.

SCP-419 quickly detected the build-up of enemy ships within 48 hours. The missing 6th Division was finally found, one of which was on the Kim Ou Peninsula in Vietnam. The other is far away in Brunei. The 2nd Division was still in the Malay Peninsula, and was blocked by Tao Mingzhang and could not move his hands and feet.

The 8th Division is in Singapore and is embarking. The 10th Division arrived in the Philippines and it seemed impossible to join the first phase of this campaign.

The enemy's telegraph communications were rather strict, and it was almost impossible to monitor effective information. However, through some side analysis, it is still possible to find the possible movements of the enemy. The communications unit of the 6th Division, sent a telegram indicating that they were collecting a map of the terrain south of Phnom Penh. The fuel base required by the Japanese convoy had to be guaranteed to make another trip to Mindanao after arriving at Kampong Flood Bay from Singapore, apparently to pick up another Philippine force.

Judging from the experience of 419 in analyzing the enemy's situation in the past two years, the target of the Japanese army is indeed Kampong Xun, and they have tried every means to conceal the purpose of the operation, so it is almost impossible to intercept the complete telegram mentioning the destination, but the telegrams of the troops below will always leak some horses.

Sakagaki's strategy of deceiving the enemy did not have any substantive details, he just sent a message to his troops that he would land in Kampong Chin, so that his troops could believe it. He believes that everything will happen according to plan, and he knows the problems of the army, and they will inadvertently leak the information, so there is no need to put on any deliberate show. Adding too much deception will make the enemy see the flaws.

The commander of every transport ship, every infantry brigade, received an envelope that could only be opened at sea. The envelope contained new orders and needed maps. Sakagaki was not a fool, he studied his opponent in depth and came to the conclusion that the only way to deceive a god-like enemy was to deceive himself. Of course, such an operation is bound to face many problems. The first is the confusion of their own troops, which is really unavoidable. In addition, there is the confusion of the overall command.

After the death of the temple, the entire Southern Army became a mess in terms of command responsibilities. Just for this battlefield. There is currently no unified command, not even a supreme commander.

Anam is still in Saigon. The temporary commander, Yamashita Fumi, was still fighting hard in the enemy's flanks. And in this operation, Sakagaki, as the commander of the front army, joined forces with the navy, and did not inform the base camp at all. Of course, he knew that if it was reported to the base camp, the plan could be vetoed, and there was a high probability that intelligence would be leaked during the communication phase. This plan was proposed to him by Kagesa Zhenzhao. Kagesa thought that Yamamoto would agree with such an idea, and sure enough, they hit it off. Yamamoto believes that Seishiro Itagaki's method of self-deception is precisely feasible. One of his fleets has entered the Gulf of Siam, ready to support the army's operations.

All the ships that can be concentrated departed from several places and concentrated off the coast of Kampong Flood Bay. This process cannot be kept secret and there is no need to hide it. Fortunately, Kampong Khon is not far from Bangkok, and once the troops get a new mission, they can immediately turn to Bangkok.

The enemy's intelligence there is also very scarce. Sakagaki did not know the specific situation of the Chinese army currently stationed in Bangkok, only that it was a division with the number 203. Of course, as far as he knew, only the first three divisions of Commander Chu Ting's troops from 200 to 202 had strong combat effectiveness, and those troops were not only large, but also well-equipped. The divisions after 202 are actually more young troops, and they are not satisfied with the personnel and have no heavy weapons, mainly providing soldiers for the first three divisions, and sometimes responsible for some low-intensity rear defense tasks.

The spies of the southern organs who were hiding in Bangkok did not receive instructions to speed up the collection of intelligence, so like the Japanese spies in other places, they sent back information in a step-by-step manner, and the information in it was naturally not targeted. However, in the routine report of the spies, it was mentioned that the port facilities were intact and the number of defenders was small, about three battalions. This is the information that Sakagaki needs.

On the way to Cambodia, Lin Xiuxuan learned the information of 419, and the 6th Division of Vietnam also landed in Jinou, which seemed a little abnormal, Jinou was very close to Phnom Penh, and there was a road connection, so it seemed that there was no need for shipping. This strengthened his suspicion that the enemy might be going farther than Cambodia. He sent a telegram to Deputy Captain Chu, asking him to pay special attention to the enemy's movements at sea. Once the infantry is on board, it is deployed faster to the point where the mechanized troops have no time to remedy it.

As soon as Chu Tingchang was reminded, he was also aware of this possibility, but at present, he is using troops in all directions, and his troops are indeed insufficient. The Bangkok direction can only be defended by Huang Tianyang, who is changing clothes. In addition, Ho Bisheng's independent infantry brigade is being transported from Mandalay to the front and will arrive in Bangkok in a day. He felt that he could let He Bisheng stay on the secondary line near Bangkok for a few days, and once there was a situation, he could cooperate with Huang Tianyang to carry out the necessary defense. This brigade is a new type of formation that Commander Chu Ting has tried, and the troops have been strengthened on the scale of Zhou Youfu's commonly used assault clusters, and the firepower has been more prominent.

It seems that everything is still under control, and Chu Tingchang still thinks that Huang Tianyang has a good brain and should be able to take charge on his own.

However, Huang Tianyang was very dissatisfied with Chu Tingchang's letting him defend Bangkok. He felt that Chu Tingchang was to let him enter the Malay Peninsula at any time as Tao Mingzhang's reserve to support, after all, Bangkok was on the edge of the peninsula. But Huang Tian made him feel condescending. He didn't want to give Tao Mingzhang or Zhou Youfu's troops, seeing that Zhou Youfu might have killed a Japanese marshal (the Allies were still unconfirmed), and he was going to bask in the sun in Bangkok.

Those who committed a lot of crimes in China, the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th divisions, were waiting for him to clean up. However, at such a critical moment, he was deployed to a place where he did not rely on both sides, which inevitably made him feel that Chu Tingchang was deliberately trying to suppress his military exploits?

It happened that his uncle was celebrating his birthday, and because of his exploits in entering the city alone and persuading the defenders to surrender that day, the Thai emperor in Switzerland sent a telegram to celebrate his birthday. Three days in advance, the city of Bangkok began to set up colorful booths and make floats, ready to celebrate the old men of the underworld in the court.

Huang Tianyang has nothing to do, of course he won't miss such a bustle. In the morning, Chief Chu reminded him that at least it should be installed in the port*, and that he was ready to blow up the crane at any time, which of course he turned a deaf ear. He casually assigned the commander of the engineer battalion to the port to do this. When the engineer battalion arrived there, it reported a lack of equipment and manpower, in short, a lack of this, a lack of which, this kind of thing, if the leader does not keep an eye on it, the people below will make a fool of things. Of course, the initiator was Chu Tingchang himself, and he subconsciously felt that the possibility of the Japanese army landing in Bangkok was not very large. Because that's more than they can handle.

In order to celebrate his uncle's 70th birthday, Huang Tianyang led the troops to hold a military parade in the city, behind the troops was the lion dance, the dragon dance team, behind a 30-meter-long dragon, were all kinds of floats, girls' school students, theater stars, brothel heads, have stood on the car scratching their heads.

The whole of Bangkok is boiling. In the absence of the king in these years, Bangkok has not had such a grand celebration. I heard that there is also a fireworks display at night.

In the evening. The Japanese flotilla assembled off Kampong Flood Bay. All the commanders, opening the envelope as agreed, found that the mission had changed.

About 60 ships began to turn chaotically, among them the aircraft carrier Akitsu Maru, which belonged to the Japanese Army, and on the deck of the aircraft carrier, several strange-looking gyroplanes were parked, which were about to take off to reconnoiter the target. In addition, the aircraft carrier carried several fast Daihatsu maneuvers to carry troops to quickly seize the port. The Navy's destroyers are around and will provide fire support for the attack.

The fleet moved in quickly, in fact, they were only 200 nautical miles from Bangkok and could arrive in the middle of the night. 419 immediately sensed through sonar that something was wrong, and one of the enemy's fleets suddenly broke away from the slow convoy and headed northwest. According to the 419 passive sonar detection, their target will be Bangkok. At the same time, Huang Tianyang in Bangkok was already drunk.
