PS: Today's first update

............................................................

At five o'clock in the morning on April 24, Republic 2782 (1941), the Chinese ultimatum expired. The Nanyang Military Region of China and the Annam Military Region simultaneously launched an offensive against the intended target.

That night, the Chinese troops, who had already arrived at the Siam-Matsu border and were on standby, made fire preparations for half an hour to the predetermined targets, starting with two heavy artillery brigades and two rocket artillery brigades, as well as four railway artillery battalions, as well as heavy artillery units belonging to divisions and regiments.

A total of 8 310-mm train guns, 24 280-mm train guns, 72 210-mm howitzers, 132 155-mm cannon howitzers, 48 210-mm cannons, 72 155-mm cannons, 64 130-mm cannons, 48 160-mm mortars, and more than 500 barreled guns of various types from 105 mm to 130 mm were put into use. 122 pieces of rocket artillery from 300 mm to 260 mm.

These hundreds of artillery pieces are distributed along the Siam-Matsu border, which is more than 200 kilometers long, and when they are launched together, it is really a thunderous hole and the momentum is terrifying.

"Boom, boom...... Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

Hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery pieces roared in unison, only to see hundreds of guns burst out in the dim night scene, and tracer ballistics like meteors streaked across the sky, dropping shells ranging from a dozen kilograms to hundreds of kilograms to the intended targets.

"Whoosh...... Whoosh ...... Whoosh ......"

A few seconds later, 260 rocket launchers were also fired, and tens of thousands of fire dragons soared into the sky, swooping towards the target like meteors catching the moon, and then one or several fiery fireballs appeared near the target.

The highly effective new explosives produced a ferocious chemical reaction under the action of the fuse, and the powerful shock wave swept through everything in the vicinity with countless prefabricated fragments, steel balls, small arrows, and the heat of molten iron, whether it was bunkers, buildings, weapons, or fragile human ......

The Malay army, which had never experienced such a battle, was suddenly stunned. Although they were also prepared to guard against China's turnaround, they still had less time to prepare, and the Malay monkeys' terrible command system and organization could not be more terrible to build a qualified fortification in these days, so they seriously lacked bunkers to resist this heavy artillery.

The Malay army suffered heavy losses in the PLA's fire preparations, with nearly a fifth of its strength alone and more than seventy percent of all its heavy weapons lost in this hellish shelling.

At half past five, the sky was just dawning, the Chinese shelling had stopped, and the explosions seemed to still echo in the air. The officers and men of the Malay army finally took a breath, and the first half hour seemed to them longer than a century.

Lieutenant General Ahmad Musansha, the commander-in-chief of the Malay Army and Northern Cluster, has finally recovered from the shelling, and his face is now pale and trembling.

Their underground headquarters was still quite strong, not destroyed by artillery fire, and the people inside were fine except for a few stunned. But the Supreme Commander was already stupefied.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese's artillery fire is too fierce, what should we do?" said Chief of Staff Sadie next to him, and the old man was also shocked.

But His Excellency Commander Musansha didn't seem to hear it, and only trembled there.

"Your Excellency Commander......" Sadie frowned as he walked over, when he suddenly smelled a smoky smell, and his eyes looked down, only to see that the commander's crotch was already wet, and water was dripping down.

The corners of Sadie's eyes twitched, and he had to say: "Guard, the commander has a relapse of his old illness, hurry up and send him to the hospital to recuperate......"

Nima, just preparing for the artillery fire, this grandson was so frightened that he was scared of shit and urine, which really made Sadi very speechless, but he couldn't help it, because this commander was the prince of Pahang, the younger brother of Sultan Abu Bakarshah, and it was by virtue of this royal status that he obtained the position of commander-in-chief of the northern cluster of Malaya.

It is not surprising that Malaya, a country that has just been independent for ten years, is still completely in the era of feudal monarchy#. Any rank of official is related to birth, and all the important positions in Malaya are occupied by members of the royal family of the seven sultans. The seven royal families are Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Terengganu, Kelantan, Pahang, Johor, Perak, and Kedah and Perlis in the history of the original plane, but these two states have been returned to Siam in this plane.

Whether it is the army or the government of Malaya, it is a real "high-grade and unimpeded family", if it is a person from a civilian background, it is almost the top to be a captain in this army.

There are five divisions and three brigades in the northern Malay cluster, which concentrates eighty percent of Malaya's military strength, and the position of commander-in-chief is naturally out of touch with the common people, even the ordinary nobles don't think about it, they must be close to the royal family. Naturally, the sultans did not lead the army themselves, so the seven sultans, after some squabbling, finally let Prince Ahmad Musansa take the position. Because he received a formal education at the British military academy, he was the most accomplished in military affairs of all seven royal families.

But this guy has not experienced even a single actual battle, although he has nominally participated in the front line, but he has always stayed in the rear and has never been on the front line. Usually, the commander still looks like him, but the theory is a set of sets, which has frightened many people, but he didn't expect it to be revealed now.

Nima, the shadow of the Chinese has not been seen, it has already been and urine, if the Chinese really called, what to do?

Pig teammates can kill people, let alone pig bosses? Now that he has to add a god-like opponent, Chief of Staff Sadie feels that he may have no bright future.

"Hurry up and contact the divisions and brigades......" Sa'di saw that the honorable commander had lost his mind, so he had no choice but to take over the command, but he was already the actual commander of this army, and he was familiar with it. In fact, this chief of staff was the best senior commander in the Ma army, not only did he have a formal military education in Britain, but he also really went to the front line of the European war during World War I, and fought side by side with the Allied forces for three years. The combat experience is still very rich, if it weren't for the fact that his family was only a middle-class nobleman, the position of this commander would definitely be his.

However, now His Excellency the Chief of Staff no longer cares about complaining about any institutional problems, and the most important thing is to maintain the current strength. He still knows the tactics of the People's Liberation Army, no way, there is such a big monster lying next door who drools at himself, dare not to understand?

He knew that this opponent was a typical bomber, and strictly speaking, the PLA's tactics were very monotonous. In general, several fire preparations are carried out, followed by an armored assault, and finally an infantry charge, during which the aviation is accompanied by fire support throughout the process. Judging by the current time, the heavy artillery should be followed by an air attack, followed by a charge.

But this tactic, although monotonous, is a modern tactic that only the top powers can afford, and for the Malay army, this seemingly monotonous tactic is incomprehensible.

But now he only has a dead horse as a live horse doctor. He was going to let his troops retreat a little bit, taking advantage of the complex terrain here to slow down the offensive of the PLA, but fortunately, the terrain of the Malay Peninsula is more complicated, here is densely covered with mountains, hills and tropical rainforests, and the most terrifying armored torrent of the PLA cannot be reached, or he will have to consider surrendering now.

"If it's just an infantry attack, it should be able to hold back for a while, right? Then the British will have time to send reinforcements...... Major General Sadie thought to himself.

At this time, a staff officer ran over with a white face: "Report to the chief of staff, the radios are out of order! All the radios are out of order and cannot be used! All of them are out of service!"

"What's going on? How could all seven radio stations be broken?" Sadie was in a hurry, if he couldn't contact the other troops, the next plan would be to carry out a bird.

"I ...... I don't know......" the staff officer said pitifully.

Major General Sadie hurried to the communications room, and he couldn't get the stations to work, all of them were rustling.

"Damn, is it broken? These British goods are really unreliable!"

Well, these British radio stations were really wronged, and it was really not that they were damaged in the shelling just now, but that there was radio interference from China. Before the shelling began, six large Chinese electronic jammers had taken to the skies and began to electronically suppress the Malayan army, and now not only did their radios fail, but also their radars were lying in their nests.

This tactic was common in later generations, but it was the first time it appeared on the plane, and the Ma army was lucky to become the first target of electronic warfare on the plane.

"Chief of Staff, the phone can still be ......used," said a second lieutenant of the communications corps weakly.

Only then did Major General Sadie remember that he still had a few wired telephones here.

Even if it is a full-channel blockage in later generations, it is difficult to block out wired calls. Now the tall radio can't be used, but I didn't expect the old-fashioned corded telephone to work.

However, before he could issue orders to other troops by phone, the first wave of PLA air strikes had already arrived.

A muffled thunderous roar suddenly came from the sky that had just emerged, and then the blackened Chinese aircraft burst through the colorful clouds, and they swooped down on the Malay position with an aura of destruction, just like the legendary hell locust Abaddon.

At this time, the officers and men of the Ma soldiers on the position had just recovered from the shelling and were preparing to deal with the next attack of the People's Liberation Army when they saw this terrible scene.

The combat strength of these natives was originally less than five, and they had never experienced such a big scene, and the shelling just now had already made them lose their souls, and now seeing so many planes rushing over, the already precarious morale was suddenly cleared.

"Hu Da! Run for your life!"

"The Chinese air devil is coming, run!"

Immediately, the Ma's position exploded, and not only the soldiers fled frantically, but even some officers who were supposed to be suppressed also slipped away.

At 8 a.m. on April 24, Malaya's northern defensive line collapsed. The commander of the Fourth Group Army of the Chinese Army drove straight in.
