The War of Resistance Begins with the Regiment Leader - Chapter 224

Chapter 224 Planes are not perfect either!

 Southern Army, Lion City Headquarters, General Juichi Terauchi looked at the latest battle report, his blood pressure soared, and he almost had a stroke.

Bangkok, where the Fourth Division was stationed, was lost.

 The reason is very strange!

The Fourth Division and the Siamese Navy held a gala party, originally with the intention of boosting the morale of the Thai army.

Who knew that the Sichuan Army’s magic troops descended from the sky and raided Bangkok.

 Cause huge losses.

Several senior officers including the commander of the Fourth Division were killed, and the remaining soldiers suffered casualties of more than a thousand.

 In addition, the Siamese navy suffered heavy losses and there were very few survivors.

 In addition, the Fourth Division, led by division commander Kitano Kenzo, withdrew towards Annan.

 The reason was that the road going south was blocked by the Sichuan Army.

 There was no choice but to evacuate to Annan.

 After reading the telegram, Touichi Terauchi felt his blood pressure soar.

Had it not been for the adjutant’s quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have called for the military doctor.

It is estimated that Touichi Terauchi suffered a stroke two years early.

 The Type A division of more than 30,000 people, plus the Thai army of more than 20,000 people.

They didn’t even defend a single city.

 More importantly, there are dozens of warships and dozens of fighter planes in this city.

 As a result, these things all became the spoils of war for the Sichuan Army.

 He wanted to ask the Fourth Division, what on earth were they doing?

Were there no signs beforehand?

There is always a hint of weirdness about this matter.

Just after thinking about it for a long time, Terauchi Shouichi didn’t even figure it out.

 After all, what the Fourth Division did was really shocking.

Who would have thought that the Siamese Navy would be sold for just 100 million yen.

“Your Excellency, Commander, the Sichuan Army’s next attack direction must be Lion City.” Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Tsukada said with some worry.

Tōuchi Touichi said with some regret.

“It’s a pity that Yamashita Fengwen has been transferred. Otherwise, if he sends troops to attack Bangkok, he will definitely be able to destroy the Sichuan Army.”

Not long ago, Yamashita Fengwen received a transfer order and was transferred to the commander of the 1st Front of the Kwantung Army.

 So now the Southern Army has few generals who can fight.

 It seems that there are many establishments, but in fact, troops are used everywhere.

 Medan has invested a large amount of troops.

 The main reason is that the resistance there is too strong.

If the city is not heavily garrisoned, it is estimated that these guerrillas will be driven away.

More importantly, several divisions originally stationed in the Annan area have been transferred to the Lion City due to the sudden change in the Tianzhu war.

 According to the plan, he will be transferred to Tianzhu in the next two days.

The base camp will then add a batch of newly formed divisions to the Southern Army.

  But the newly formed division was of no use at all.

 It will take at least half a year to form combat effectiveness.

 In other words, the Southern Army at this time was not as powerful as before.

 So, Touichi Terauchi could only hold the telegram and sigh.

 At this time, there were only the 56th Independent Mixed Brigade and two independent garrison infantry brigades in Borneo.

In addition, there is the 9th Flying Division of the Lion City Guard.

With this small number of troops, it is okay to barely hold on to the current territory, but there is little hope of sending troops to attack Bangkok.

 Unless the navy is allowed to dispatch warships to directly attack Bangkok.

 Conflicts between sea and land require the navy to be dispatched?

 Absolutely impossible.

Especially last time in Yangon, a warship of the navy was destroyed.

 At present, the navy has great opinions on the army.

The reason why they are willing to transport land troops to Tianzhu is purely because the Japanese army in Tianzhu paid their own money to hire the navy to transport soldiers.

 That’s right!

 Just pay for it yourself.

 They captured a lot of oil, so they could use it to use the navy.

 Otherwise, the navy would not bother them at all.

Therefore, the only way for Terauchi Touichi to use these navies is to use his own money to provide oil.

 Otherwise, the navy would not be able to be used at all.

Not to mention, the navy is eager for the army to make a fool of themselves so that they can have some fun and be happy.

“Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do next? The Sichuan Army should continue to move south to Borneo.” Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Tsukada said worriedly.

 There are only more than 10,000 troops defending Borneo.

If the Sichuan Army really goes south, they may not be able to stop it.

“So, the French army needs to put pressure on them to increase their offensive intensity, forcing the Sichuan Army to be unable to go south and wait for reinforcements from the base camp to arrive.” Terauchi Juichi said helplessly.

 It can only be said that the Sichuan Army seized the opportunity very well.

As long as he attacks early, Temple Touichi will order Yamashita Fengwen to lead the troops to attack Bangkok.

 As a result, Yamashita Fengwen was transferred away, and the main division was also transferred to Tianzhu.

 The current strength of the Southern Army is extremely empty.

 Unless reinforcements are drawn from Luzon and other places.

 But the resistance there is also strong.

Especially the guerrillas composed of Chinese in Mindanao, who were so strong in martial arts that the Japanese troops they fought did not dare to leave the city.

 So, Juichi Terauchi could only watch the Sichuan Army take Bangkok, but there was nothing he could do.

 Otherwise, given his temper, he would definitely take revenge.

 At the same time, I am also very puzzled as to why the Sichuan Army can accurately avoid the time when the Japanese army is at its strongest.

 Shouichi Terauchi’s keen sense of battlefield told him that there must be something he didn’t know.

 After all, there are so many coincidences in the world.

“Ask the intelligence staff to investigate the Fourth Division and ask what happened.” Terauchi Shouichi said after thinking for a while.

 “Hai!”

 …

On the other side, the Japanese Fourth Division used its talent for retreat and retreated directly from Bangkok to Khmer.

Originally the French army refused, at least Governor Degou, who did not want the Japanese army to enter the French Indochina colony.

The Sichuan Corps of the Sichuan Corps fell and took off Bangkok directly, so even if Governor Digu was no longer willing, he had to grit his teeth and let the Japanese army enter.

 Obviously, the next stage of the Sichuan Army’s target must be the Annan region.

“The Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, are they a bunch of idiots? Why did they lose Bangkok?” Governor Degu looked at the map, but still didn’t understand.

 Actually, there are many people who don’t understand.

 After all, the Japanese Fourth Division was an elite division, and its performance was really surprising.

“Your Majesty the Governor, right now we must prevent the Sichuan Army from continuing to advance eastward. Now we are faced with two choices. The first is to surrender to the Allies and join the Allies as Free France.” A French army officer suggested.

“Impossible, the Japanese army will never watch us join.” Governor Degu shook his head and rejected his proposal.

He even suspected that the reason why the Fourth Division withdrew to Annan was to spy on the French army on purpose.

 Otherwise, he really didn’t understand why the Fourth Division lost the city of Bangkok.

“Then we can only build a new line of defense to resist the Sichuan Army.”

Hearing this, Governor Degu fell into silence for a while, and then he sighed and said.

“Build a line of defense first, and then I’ll talk to Stilwell to see if we can surrender gracefully.” “Yes.”

 …

At the temporary headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Division, Kenzo Kitano looked at the telegram of reprimand sent by Juichi Terauchi, sneered, and handed it to Sato and Nojiri.

“What you did was too rough. Your Excellency the Commander must be a little suspicious. Be prepared to be investigated.”

Unexpectedly, Major Sato was not worried at all, but said cheerfully.

“Send someone to investigate? It’s easy. Either you get bribed or you get killed.”

“There are so many guerrillas in Annan, isn’t it normal for something unexpected to happen?”

“Your Excellency, Division Commander, you are still too timid. Since you have chosen this path, let’s go all the way to the end. Don’t forget, there are still 200 million yen waiting for us?”

“And the money given was US dollars. Just now, the price of US dollars against Japanese yen has soared again, which means that our 100 million yen has become more than 100 million yen.”

It has to be said that, stimulated by the huge wealth, Major Sato only had one idea in his eyes.

That’s making money!

He will kill anyone who delays him in making money!

 Coming by plane?

 The plane will not be shot down?

Who did it?

There are so many guerrillas, can’t we just blame them directly?

It is just that you can use this reason to clear the guerrillas and get more.

When Major Nojiri heard this, he couldn’t help but breathe faster.

Just now, the Japanese yen has depreciated again.

If the war ends, will it depreciate again?

 For a time, Major Nojiri thought a lot.

Only Kitano Kenzo was shocked by Major Sato’s idea.

 Unexpectedly, these guys are completely crazy.

To be honest, he himself was attracted by this huge wealth.

“Have you ever thought about a way out? Sooner or later, people will be exposed for the things you do.” Kitano Kenzo asked doubtfully.

Who would have known that Major Sato was not panicked at all, but instead chuckled.

“Your Excellency, Division Commander, do you know what the Sichuan Army Corps promised me?”

“????” Kitano Kenzo looked at the other party in confusion. He really didn’t know what Sato was talking about in private with the Sichuan Army.

Even Major Nojiri on the side was a little surprised.

 “Anti-war Allied Forces.” Major Sato said calmly.

 Hearing this, Kitano Kenzo was immediately stunned.

 Anti-war Allies?

 Offer such high conditions?

In other words, the Fourth Division can join the Allied Forces at any time as long as they are willing.

It means that they will not be liquidated after the war, and they can even become victors.

At the thought of this, Kitano Kenzo’s scalp went numb.

 The Class A Division, with more than 30,000 men, joined the anti-war Allied Forces.

 The blow to the morale of the Japanese army was absolutely terrifying.

 Kitano Kenzo really didn’t expect that the Sichuan Legion would offer such high conditions.

 It was indeed unexpected.

 Major Nojiri next to him was also confused.

They can actually become anti-war allies?

 Doesn’t that mean that if things go wrong, they can become allies?

 Thinking of this, the smile on Major Nojiri’s face became even bigger.

 Originally, I was worried about what would happen to the money if we lost the war.

 Now it seems that these worries are unnecessary.

“Baga, there must be other conditions.” Kitano Kenzo said angrily.

“Yes, the condition is to eliminate Annan’s guerrillas.” Sato said with an indifferent expression.

Hearing this, Kitano Kenzo felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

 No wonder the other party is not worried about the investigation team coming to investigate the specific situation.

 Because the situation is not right, it can indeed be blamed on the guerrillas.

 No wonder Major Sato would say, Killing one stone accomplishes multiple things.

“Your Excellency, Division Commander, I personally suggest that you cooperate with us obediently and don’t make any mistakes. After all, you and I both know that the future of the empire is bleak. It may fail one day, and at that time, as a senior officer, you may not be able to escape death. ”

“It’s better to cooperate with us at this time. Maybe we will be members of the Allied Forces.” Major Sato became more and more excited as he talked.

 He suddenly felt that he might be the smartest businessman in Osaka.

 Hands on both sides!

 This is the essential ability of a good businessman.

These words left Kitano Kenzo completely speechless.

 Finally, Kitano Kenzo, who was defeated by reality, decided to cooperate well.

 Because what Major Sato said was right, after the Battle of Midway, the navy suffered heavy losses.

 The future of the empire was indeed bleak.

If that day comes, his identity as an anti-war allied force will definitely save his life and those properties.

 It is also time to leave a way out for yourself.

Thinking of this, Kitano Kenzo spoke.

“From now on, I will cooperate with you, including the Southern Army Command’s investigation. If there is someone who cannot be bribed, then I will kill him directly according to your proposal.”

“In addition, I will propose to the Southern Military Command that you serve as wing captains respectively.”

 Seeing that the commander of his division finally realized what he was doing, Major Sato couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief.

 With Kitano Kenzo’s cooperation, the next so-called investigation team will be nothing more than that.

 It’s easy to cope with it.

 …

In Bangkok, Cun Yunsheng looked at the intact palace in front of him and couldn’t suppress the smile on his lips.

 Because the Thai army left in a hurry, they also left behind a large part of their wealth.

Not only that, but also some big families in the city, which are a big fortune.

 Especially those families who followed the Japanese and Thai armies would be purged.

“Send a telegram to General Stilwell. We have captured Bangkok and are forcing Siam to surrender.”

“However, I suggest that we should deal with Songkan first before we can hope to force Siam to join the Allied Forces.” After Cun Yunsheng visited the palace, he withdrew with his men, turned to Meng Fangliao and said.

“Yes, group.” Meng Fanxia didn’t expect that this time it would go so smoothly.

 This was indeed beyond his expectation.

Those Japanese troops are actually very reputable.

 The only trouble is the corpses of the Siamese navy in the banquet hall.

But it has been cleaned up. No one will know that he was shot by the Japanese army. They will only know that he was shot by the Sichuan Army who entered the banquet hall because he was drunk.

 “Tuanzu, don’t you live in the palace?” Meng Fanlang asked doubtfully.

“No, we should stay in the city. Just send troops here and don’t let people in. Siam still needs a king.” Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully.

 After all, the culture is deeply ingrained and it is difficult to completely abolish it.

“Yes.” Meng Fan nodded, and then asked again.

“Will our future headquarters be moved to Bangkok?”

“Well, I will work here from now on.” Cun Yunsheng nodded.

At this moment, the communications staff hurriedly came to Cun Yunsheng with a telegram and said with an ugly expression.

“Regiment, General Stilwell sent an urgent message. The German army recently captured Alexandria under the attack of a large number of fighter planes, and the remaining main force of the Allied forces withdrew to Cairo.”

The German army is so powerful?

 This was Cun Yunsheng’s first reaction.

I wish you all a successful college entrance examination! From yesterday to today during the day, I felt a little unwell. It may be because I wrote too much and my blood supply and oxygen supply were insufficient! I came back after a long break!

　　　There are also updates!
