Chapter 338 Yamashita Fengfumi breaks the defense! “Sen, the little Japs will never agree to your terms, even if you beat them to death.” Duan Zhenguo was speechless. Hand over the Strait of Malacca? Tell the little devil directly, you can go and die. Without the Strait of Malacca, it means that the Japanese army in Tianzhu just declares to wait for death. Therefore, Duan Zhenguo believed that the little devil would never agree. "Don't worry, I didn't expect the little devil to agree." Cun Yunsheng sneered. "Even if the little devil agrees, I can't believe it." "Could they really want to ask for peace?" An Enpu put forward another hypothesis. After all, this is still the stage of speculation, and as a military officer, all speculations must be taken into consideration.
"It's not time yet." Cun Yunsheng knew the meaning of An Enpu's words. At this time, the Japanese army's combat power was not extremely weakened, so the peace talks were just nonsense. It's simply impossible. More importantly, is it something he can decide about peace? Therefore, Cun Yunsheng didn't take it to heart at all. "Okay, just pretend you don't know about the peace negotiation..." "No, report this matter to General Stilwell, remember to send it intact to General Stilwell." As he talked, Cun Yunsheng wondered if this could be another conspiracy of the Japanese army. Deliberately talk about peace talks and then spread rumors. By that time, I will be covered in yellow mud and my crotch will fall down, and I won’t be able to wash it off. "Yes, take a seat." "At the same time, tell the frontline troops to seize the moment and beat them so hard that they hurt." "yes." … On the other side, Li's 1st Division, which had been attacking for a long time, the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company of the 1st Regiment failed to capture the position after fighting for a long time. Although the superiors pressed hard, there was nothing they could do. Although their combat effectiveness is not bad, they can fight the Japanese army back and forth. However, it is still difficult to break through the Japanese defensive positions. Their current fighting style is to bombard with artillery, charge with infantry, and then bomb with artillery after the infantry has charged.
The Japanese army's three-axe tactics were also well inherited by them. It became the most annoying look in Meng Fangliao's mouth. But I have to say that the tactics are simple. The effect is indeed good. At least along the way, casualties have been greatly reduced. On the other hand, the first division of the Siamese Army suffered heavy losses. "Baga..." Facing the familiar three-axe tactic, the Japanese major could only be blinded. Fortunately he was given orders to hold his ground, but as time passed. He can obviously feel that the opponent's tactics are becoming more and more proficient. If this continues, I'm afraid I really won't be able to hold on. If the other party brings in Type 965 tanks, it would be really bad. In the end, it’s really whatever you’re afraid of. The Li's First Division, which had been unable to attack for a long time, mobilized the Type 95 tanks from the rear. Originally these tanks were attacking together with the infantry. However, the roads here are really bad, especially the wooden bridges, which cannot support tanks crossing the river. So we could only stay in the rear, but after being unable to attack for a long time, we sent people to reinforce the bridge, and finally the tanks arrived on the battlefield. When the tank squadron arrived at the position, the battle suddenly became much more intense. "These Japanese troops are difficult to deal with. It is difficult to break their turtle shells with the mortars in our hands." The infantry company commander of the ninth company of the third battalion said helplessly to the officers of the tank squadron. Hearing this, Captain Renwei, the officer of the tank squadron, frowned slightly. "So difficult to deal with?" "Of course, otherwise what do you think our Ninth Company is doing? Playing?" the Ninth Company Captain said angrily. Does he think the other party thinks he is a freeloader? Hearing this, Captain Renwei was not angry and continued: "In this case, it will be difficult to crack these turtle shells with our 37mm tank gun alone. I think what you need is the Type 97 tank. They The 57mm tank gun can definitely crack open these turtle shells.” Even mortars have a hard time knocking through the opponent's defensive fortress, and their 37mm tank guns are not that easy to knock through the opponent. "But the Type 97 tanks are still at the rear. I'm afraid they won't be able to get through in a while. Now we can only rely on us." Captain Renwei explained. "It's okay. Our superiors have promised to provide us with air support. I believe fighter planes will arrive soon." The ninth company commander shook his head and said. You must know that all the wooden fighter planes of the Japanese army were sold to Siam by Cun Yunsheng. After all, he didn't like this kind of old fighter plane at all. So these fighter planes were used in exchange for large tracts of fertile farmland.
Now that Cun Yunsheng has received the order, the indigenous army on the front line will naturally exert force. The air force also began to mobilize. "Here, according to the intelligence we know, the Japanese defense force here is relatively weak, and the original fixed firepower points have been destroyed by long-range heavy artillery. Although it is predicted that the Japanese army may also mobilize some troops for reinforcements, the Japanese army in this area It should be difficult to replenish the heavy firepower in a short time, so the threat will not be great when we attack! " "As long as you tear open the enemy's gap, the Japanese troops on other lines of defense will collapse immediately, and we will be able to capture this position." After listening to the arrangement of the Ninth Company, Captain Renwei nodded. Overall, there was nothing to add to the tactical arrangement. After all, they were taught by the Japanese army, and they had a clear understanding of the Japanese army's tactical arrangements. If nothing else, that should be it. "No problem, just do as you come. I will urge my men to attack when I get back." Captain Renwei nodded and responded. While they were discussing detailed tactics, the artillerymen continued to violently bombard the Japanese positions in front of them. A new wave of air support aircraft had also arrived to carry out strafing and bombing operations in support of the infantry's subsequent attack. But the position on the opposite side was indeed fortified. After all, after such a long time, the Japanese army was not stupid, so they naturally assisted the Siamese First Division in strengthening the defense line and building fortresses. The purpose is to prevent the Sichuan Army from moving south. Now it seems that the effect is still good, at least neither heavy artillery nor aerial bombardment destroyed their fortress. If you want to really break through here, you have to rely on the attack of the infantry unit. Soon, Captain Renwei returned to the temporary station with the mission and issued combat missions at the same time. To be honest, if the Japanese army on the opposite side had anti-tank firepower, they might be a little scared, but it is obvious that the Japanese army on the opposite side does not have much anti-tank firepower. In other words, they never thought that the Sichuan Army would go south in the first place. Therefore, the Japanese army here has no anti-tank firepower at all. The only anti-tank guns were all transferred to the Guadalcanal area. After all, the . military's firepower there was indeed too strong. Compared with the density of firepower of the US military, these are just a small fuss. … "Give up the Strait of Malacca?" Tsukada looked at the telegram in his hand and sneered. Are you kidding me, giving up the Strait of Malacca and leaving Tianzhu’s imperial army alone? Without the strait, the base camp would probably kill him directly. Therefore, he felt that the Sichuan Army had no sincerity in negotiating peace. No! In other words, his peace talks were an illusion from the beginning.
It's nothing more than paralyzing the opponent to see if there is any chance. Now it seems that the plan has failed. Of course, it cannot be said to be a complete failure. "Since the Sichuan Army has no sincerity in negotiating peace, let's continue to mobilize troops and tell Yamashita Fengfumi to send troops as soon as possible to severely damage the enemy troops moving south." Tsukada said. "Hai." "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I suggest that we spread rumors that the Sichuan Army has agreed to negotiate peace with us. Regardless of whether it can succeed, it will at least disturb the other party's mind." The combat staff suggested. "Xinxi, you are right." Tsukada thought it made sense. No matter whether it was successful or not, it would at least disturb the opponent's line of sight. Thinking of this, Tsukada couldn't help but patted his shoulder and praised him. "I'll leave this matter to you." "Hai." On the other side, Yamashita Fengwen received the telegram and couldn't help but sneer. Negotiate peace? Buying time? It's a nice idea, but it's simply not realistic. The war has reached this point. It is absolutely impossible to negotiate peace without distinguishing between life and death. Moreover, the Imperial Japanese Army is only slightly weakened now, which does not mean that they are unable to resist. The only thing to blame is that Tianzhu's temptation was too great. Gold, silver, steel, oil, rare minerals and more. There is also a lot of food. These are what the Japanese army needs. That’s why the base camp attaches great importance to it. A part of the elite divisions were transferred from the strongest Southern Army. As a result, the Southern Army is now weakened. There are only three top-ranked B divisions left. There was no Class A division left, which made him very helpless. Although the 23rd Division is also ranked very high, there is still a gap compared with the veteran Class A Divisions. As for the 33rd Division, and the 38th Division. Yamashita Fengwen could only sigh.
Better than nothing. He knew that this was the greatest sincerity that Chief of Staff Tsukada of the Southern Army could show. There really won’t be any more. After all, the area occupied by the Southern Army was too big, and he had to consider other places. "Your Excellency, Commander, the defense line of the Siamese First Division has been completely broken through. The opponent has added 20,000 troops. The 40,000 enemy troops have broken through our defense line at all costs." At this time, the combat staff walked in and faced Yamashita Fengwen. He spoke. Hearing this, Yamashita Fengfumi was not surprised. Ever since he learned that these natives were trained by the Fourth Division, he had guessed that such a day would come. But I didn't expect that there were 40,000 indigenous people. Who would have thought that the natives he once looked down upon would now have the strength to compete with them. It was hard for him to accept it for a while. Thinking of this, Yamashita Fengwen said. "Let the 38th Division rush to the front line to build a defense line to block the enemy's attack. At the same time, we will reorganize the Siamese First Division and recruit some indigenous people. We will also organize these indigenous people to deal with the enemy." He suddenly felt that this idea was actually quite good. Use the natives to fight the natives. Saves manpower. As for wasting weapons and ammunition? impossible! He previously defeated the British army but captured a lot of weapons and ammunition. Now it's time to distribute them and arm these natives. What a pity! The idea is quite good. As a result, another accident occurred. That was when the Malaysian guerrillas began to harass the Japanese army's logistics supply sites. Because of the long-distance march, the Japanese army naturally did not carry a lot of supplies. Therefore, supply stations need to be built along the way. But it was impossible for the Japanese army to do these menial jobs themselves, and they needed to recruit indigenous people to do the work. If you pay honestly, maybe nothing will happen. The key point is that the Japanese soldiers are very poor, so let them pay these natives? That's even more impossible.
Even if it is issued, it is only some military coupons. Military tickets are worthless now, and the natives are not fools. They know that these military tickets are just to plunder their wealth. Therefore, the natives immediately became angry and turned around to tell the guerrillas about these supply stations. Needless to say, all these supply stations suffered disaster. Either they were bombed or their supplies were stolen. After receiving the news, Yamashita Fengwen was immediately furious. He didn't expect that in just one year, why would everything be different? In the past, when these natives saw them, they all looked kind and even very welcoming. What now? One by one, they turned their guns and started to deal with them. This made Yamashita Fengwen feel very heavy. "Your Excellency, Commander, the 38th Division does not carry much supplies. We must replenish supplies in time, otherwise something will happen after a long time." The Japanese combat staff said. "Can we still mobilize supplies?" Yamashita Fengwen asked bitterly. After taking over, he learned that the entire Fourteenth Front Army had few elite soldiers and few supplies. Most of the supplies were transferred to Tianzhu, and the remaining supplies were destroyed by these guerrillas. "Yes, let the big Chinese families in the city donate money. If they resist, then arrest them all. I suspect that they are responsible for the attack on the supply depot this time." "Otherwise, it is impossible for those guerrillas to know about our supply stations." The Japanese combat staff said angrily. "Xinxi, you are right. These guerrillas can't do without the support of those big Chinese families. Then send people to their homes. Anyone who resists will have their homes ransacked." Even Yamashita Fengwen was forced to this point. What a good idea. The base camp is now focused on supporting Tianzhu and getting more steel and oil. They were not that concerned about the Southern Army, and their material support was also much weakened. In fact, even if it does not weaken, we will not be able to reach it after a long journey. So the best way is to force the local Chinese wealthy families to donate. "Hai." For a time, the entire Chinese community in the Lion City suffered. At the same time, there are also some unstable Chinese families who decide to betray the Malaysian guerrillas in exchange for their family's peace. Of course, this is all for the future. On the other side, Cun Yunsheng in Bangkok received a telegram from Meng Fangliao. "Is the final general attack on Yangcheng going to be launched so soon?" Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng Fanglia's telegram with a look of surprise on his face.
As reinforcements from the two infantry regiments arrived, Meng Fangli immediately asked them to follow the armored regiment and rush to Zengcheng. This time I sent a telegram to Cun Yunsheng to confirm whether the Japanese 104th Division had captured Zengcheng as agreed. "So fast?" Duan Zhenguo was also surprised when he heard Cun Yunsheng's words. (End of chapter)
