- General Chen Mingren chuckled, "Commander Huang, I'm just waiting for your words. Then all three infantry corps of my Second Group Army have moved in."
Huang Wei is a straight-tempered person with a bit of a nerd, "Commander Chen, are you kidding me? What time of day is it now? I wish your infantry would enter the city now."
Yue Hanping waved his hand and said to Chen Mingren: "Okay, brother Ziliang, stop teasing General Huang. Your infantry should take over the defense quickly, lest the little Japs in Bangkok think that our armored army can't take him down."
Chen Mingren¡¯s three infantry corps divided into three groups and rushed into Bangkok. A large number of Chinese infantry entered the city, and the three infantry corps adopted the tactic of dividing the area and clearing out the Japanese defenders piece by piece. In addition to the tank clusters used to block and separate the main streets, the remaining tanks were distributed to the infantry for fire support.
For a time, tanks were frequently mobilized in the urban area of ??Bangkok, and the Central Street of Bangkok was firmly controlled by the First Armored Division and the infantry. Three infantry corps and nine infantry divisions radiate around the Central Street.
The Japanese Fourth Division on guard immediately felt the pressure doubled. A large number of Chinese infantry dispersed into combat groups, covering each other and advancing alternately, with tanks covering behind. The Japanese army originally lacked anti-tank guns to fight tanks, and there were not many horizontal-firing guns. On the streets, Chinese infantry and Japanese soldiers frequently exchanged fire.
During the encounter, the submachine guns in the hands of the Chinese soldiers had a great advantage. When encountering the Japanese soldiers, without saying a word, they clicked their fingers and fired in a burst. The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side immediately fell to the ground. The rate of fire is simply not comparable to automatic weapons.
On several occasions, Chinese soldiers suddenly encountered Japanese soldiers. Both sides raised their guns and fired, but the Chinese soldiers' submachine guns were covered in dense barrage of bullets. The Japanese soldiers fell into a pool of blood without a chance to shoot. Accuracy is not required, and the density of firepower more than makes up for the accuracy of shooting.
The Japanese army used the building as a stronghold. However, Chinese soldiers passed through the neighborhood in batches. Unless the Japanese troops did not fire, as soon as they opened fire, nearby combat groups immediately gathered to encircle and suppress the Japanese strongholds. The tank behind him calmly adjusted its muzzle, aiming at the Japanese with a single shell. In the explosion, the Japanese soldiers were either killed or injured. Several shells hit in succession and the building collapsed. The Japanese soldiers and their weapons were suppressed at the bottom of the ruins.
The infantry's assault became more and more powerful, and soon, the Japanese firepower points in various neighborhoods surrendered one after another. Chinese infantry blockaded a neighborhood. The remaining Japanese troops were cleared house by house. After the clearing was completed, barricades were built on both sides of the street and the block was blocked. A small number of soldiers were assigned to guard important areas and buildings in the block.
Lieutenant General Nakamura is at the headquarters. Listening to the gunshots getting closer and closer, I felt sad. It's not that Bangkok's fortifications are bad, it's really that this useless and useless division is too bad. The soldiers of the Fourth Division were completely like traders, and they were fighting the tough battle smoothly. They followed other troops, maybe they were brave enough to kill the enemy. Once the war situation becomes critical. Or the enemy's combat power is too strong. The first thing most soldiers in this division think of is to save their lives.
The powerful armored force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The Fourth Division was unwilling to take on the challenge, and the solid fortifications outside Bangkok played almost no role and were abandoned. The Chinese ** team easily entered and exited Bangkok city outside Bangkok without any losses.
General Nakamura thought that no military commander in the history of the Imperial Army had ever been captured alive, and he must not be captured alive by the Japanese. The grief-stricken army commander, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura, shot himself in his office.
The army commander committed suicide, and Lieutenant General Kimura Matsujiro, commander of the Japanese Fourth Division, became the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Bangkok City. Lieutenant General Kimura still insisted on fighting to the last moment, but a large number of defeated troops of the Fourth Division continued to pour into the division headquarters. They didn't take the division commander's orders to heart at all.
Several major officers gathered together. They all wanted to surrender to avoid unnecessary casualties. However, the division leader Lieutenant General Kimura was determined to fight to the end. Therefore, the Japanese military has always had a tradition of twisting several major officers together. They are infantry captains of several regiments, young officers with military power.
Several people recommended the elder Iejima Katsubo as the leader. Major Iijima led several officers and a group of soldiers to meet the division commander. The division guard stopped them and said, "What are you doing? Your Excellency, the division commander, has an order not to disturb him." Before he could finish speaking, a pair of smelly socks was stuffed into his mouth, and his hands were cut behind his back by the swarming soldiers. The rifle was taken away.
The "violent soldiers" of the Fourth Division, led by several majors, rushed into the division headquarters as if there was no one around. Lieutenant General Kimura was shocked when he saw the soldiers rushing in, but he still maintained the majesty of a general on his face and asked calmly: "Which army are you from? What's the matter? You broke into my office so unreasonably, your officer Who is it?"
Major Iijima stepped forward, "General, we are from several infantry brigades. Our requestIt's very simple. Please give the general an order for the Fourth Division to stop resisting! "
Lieutenant General Kimura's face darkened, "Baga! Are you still soldiers of the Japanese Empire? The Imperial Warriors will fight until the last moment. You still have so many Imperial Warriors, why should you stop resisting?"
Major Iijima chuckled, "General, don't forget, before we became soldiers, we were Osaka traders. We don't want to watch thousands of Japanese compatriots being massacred by the Chinese."
The lieutenant general smiled sternly, "Major, haven't you heard? The Chinese massacred many of our prisoners of war in Burma? Putting down your weapons will only make your death more tragic and undignified."
Major Iijima rolled his eyes and slapped the lieutenant general on the face. The soldiers at the headquarters were so frightened that these soldiers were so powerful that they even dared to hit the general. "Baga! You think we are fools. It was the soldiers of the 18th Division who were massacred because they were one of the troops that captured Nanjing. Our Fourth Division has almost never fought in the pass. The Chinese will not kill us. of."
There were sparks in Lieutenant General Kimura's eyes. A young major dared to slap him in the face. The general became furious, "Baga! You are not the imperial army at all. You are completely spies sent by the Chinese. You still act like soldiers." Do you have any respect for the officer?"
A major next to Major Iijima said: "Iijima-kun, don't talk nonsense to him. Ask him to give the order to surrender."
Lieutenant General Kimura glanced at the majors in front of him like a knife, and gritted his teeth almost every word and said: "It can't be done! As long as I am the commander of the Fourth Division, I will never issue such an order. "
Major Iijima took out his gun and put the gun against the general's head, "Quickly give the order! Otherwise I will shoot."
Lieutenant General Kimura glared at the Major arrogantly and stopped talking. There was a crisp gunshot, and the bullet quickly penetrated from the other side of the general's head, and blood spattered on Major Iijima's uniform.
Iijima blew gently into the smoking muzzle, "Stubborn guy, my bullets are not vegetarian."
The soldiers at the headquarters were stunned. They did not expect that these officers actually shot the general. Several young officers looked back at the trembling soldiers, "If you want to survive, don't talk nonsense. The general was shot by the Chinese who rushed in. Do you understand?"
The soldiers nodded hurriedly like chickens pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, the general was shot dead by the Chinese who rushed in."
After some discussion, several young officers simply issued a surrender order to the Thai garrison in the name of General Nakamura and General Nishimura. They thought about it for a while, and it seemed unreasonable to surrender only Bangkok, so they simply issued a surrender order in the name of the army commander. As long as the Thai garrison surrenders, it will not only be a matter of the Fourth Division.
They did what they said, forcing the telecommunications soldiers with guns to issue surrender orders to the 22nd Division, 78th Division, and the 29th Brigade of the Japanese Army. The radio wave quickly transmitted the order to the 22nd Division, 78th Division and **29th Brigade. The three generals received the telegram and were in disbelief. After hurriedly calling back to inquire, Major Iijima and others made up several reasons to urge the two divisions and the Japanese 29th Brigade to surrender.
The soldiers of the Fourth Division in Bangkok walked out of their strongholds one after another, raised their hands high and put down their weapons. Incredibly, the Japanese troops in Beibi, Dacheng and even the 29th Brigade of the Japanese Army also contacted the frontline troops and demanded surrender.
Yue Hanping couldn't figure out what was going on. He could only ask the troops to strengthen their vigilance and not to relax their vigilance. After collecting the weapons, he immediately gathered the Japanese troops and solved them all.
When the Chinese soldiers counted the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, they found that the commander of the army, Lieutenant General Nakamura, had committed suicide. The cause of death of Lieutenant General Kimura seemed not to be suicide, but to be shot. But these are irrelevant. Iijima and other young officers insisted that the surrender order was given by the two generals before committing suicide.
In Bangkok, there are still nearly 10,000 Japanese troops in the Fourth Division. All these soldiers have now laid down their weapons and moved into prisoner-of-war concentration camps. Upon interrogation, these soldiers of the Fourth Division all said that they had never been to China's customs and had not killed Chinese people.
Yue Hanping sneered, "The Fourth Division is Japan's famous first useless division, but it does not mean that they have no blood debt. This unit has been stationed in the Northeast for many years. If they cannot fight, the Japanese base camp treats them as a garrison. Use it. The *** killed many people just like in the Northeast. Kill them all for me!"
So these prisoners of war were driven to various streets in Bangkok and were scattered and shot by Chinese soldiers. Externally, they all deny that the Japanese troops surrendered and died in street fighting.
Some Japanese troops in Beibi, Dacheng and other places accepted the surrender, but some die-hard officers refused to carry out the orders of the commander-in-chief and persisted in resisting. This is better. After the Chinese *** team eliminated the resisting Japanese troops, they shot all the prisoners of war. Together with several Japanese generals, they were all beheaded.
In just 7 days??All Japanese soldiers in Thailand were wiped out, and the Thai king and cabinet were forced to surrender to the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Ten days later, war was declared on Japan.
After the Chinese Expeditionary Force occupied Thailand, the British immediately entered Thailand and wanted a piece of the pie. Yue Hanping was determined not to allow the British troops to take over the defense.
Prime Minister Churchill was very angry about this matter and issued the strongest protest to Chiang Kai-shek. After weighing the situation, Chiang Kai-shek and Churchill discussed dividing Thailand into two parts. Northern Thailand would be garrisoned by Chinese troops, and southern Thailand would be garrisoned by British troops. President Roosevelt also intervened, and Churchill was forced to agree to Chiang Kai-shek's suggestion. China and the UK jointly have the right to garrison troops in Thailand. The troops of both sides guard their respective garrison areas and are not allowed to cross the border at will. (To be continued)
