"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, the Japanese battleship "6 O'O", the heavy cruiser "Bird Sea" and the heavy cruiser "Mayah" were still firing wildly. Each main turret was shooting shells weighing hundreds of kilograms or even tons into Bangkok.

The powerful bombs exploded the city of Bangkok and were full of holes. Large and small bomb craters were everywhere. The anti-Japanese rescue ** stationed in Bangkok, under the Japanese artillery bombardment, the losses began to grow bigger and bigger.

Although the battleship "6 Ao" only has four dual-mounted 41o mm main guns, and the two heavy cruisers have only ten dual-mounted 2o3 mm main guns. Such a number is only equivalent to the two heavy artillery battalions of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue **. However, in terms of power, I don't know how far it will be thrown out.

On the bridge of the battleship '6Ao', Colonel Yamasumi Sasakiro was using a telescope to watch the effect of the shelling. However, because they were too far apart, they could only watch Bangkok city from afar being shrouded by gunpowder and fire.

However, Colonel Yamasumi Sadajiro believed that under their fierce shelling, the losses in the city's anti-Japanese rescue would definitely be quite large.

"How is the situation in Bangkok city?" asked Colonel Sadajiro Yamasumi.

"Christian Colonel, according to the situation of the observer report in Bangkok, our shelling was very effective. The city controlled by the Chinese people was being shelled by us bit by bit. It is estimated that they can be crushed soon." A staff officer reported.

"That's good. If you can directly use fierce artillery fire to kill all the Chinese people who attacked Bangkok city." Colonel Yamasumi Sadajiro sighed.

"Your Excellency Colonel, the Chinese have no way to fight against our naval guns. If they fight to the death in Bangkok City, we can definitely destroy them all." said the staff officer.

Colonel Satojiro Yamasumi nodded. Of course, he knew that this was impossible. He was not a fool to fight against Japan and save **. How could he be foolishly resisting their shelling? How could he fight against the naval guns? Isn’t that seeking death?

"Contact with the Commander to make sure the carrier-based aircraft has taken off. Our shelling has been on fire for some time. The Chinese people cannot not know our arrival. The powerful air power that the Chinese people have should not be underestimated." Colonel Sasakijiro Yamasumi ordered.

Although he looked down on the anti-Japanese rescue, he was still a very cautious person. Otherwise, how could he become the captain of the battleship?

"Hi, Lord Colonel." The staff officer nodded.

"By the way, let the fleet's anti-aircraft guns be prepared too!" Colonel Yamasumi Sadajiro ordered.

The battleships of the 6 O'O, the heavy cruiser of the 'Bohai' and the heavy cruiser of the 'Mayah', as well as the destroyer of the Asayun and the destroyer of the Yamayun, all have strong air defense firepower. While the Japanese army attaches great importance to aviation operations, they also attach great importance to air defense. In particular, they compete with the US Navy in the Pacific, which gives them unique insights into the fleet's air defense. These warships are specially equipped with air defense firepower. Colonel Yamasumi Sasakijiro believes that even if the air force that resists Japan and rescues has strong combat power, they may not be able to break through their air defense network and attack their warships.

After all, the Anti-Japanese and Rescue ** was not long since its establishment, and it only took half a year. Under such circumstances, can we expect how elite the anti-Japanese and Rescue **?

"Grand Colonel, we are ready for air defense." An air defense commander reported.

The Japanese artillery formation, the battleship of the 6 Ao, the battleship of the 6 Ao, the heavy cruiser of the 1900 Sea and the heavy cruiser of the 1900 Sea were in the front and back, while the destroyer of the Chaoyun and the Shanyun were on the left and right. The battleship of the 6 Ao was protected in the middle. Of course, the estuary of the Chaonan River was not wide, and once attacked, the space for dodging was too narrow. Therefore, these battleships turned around specifically. Once attacked, they could sail to the Gulf of Thailand as soon as possible.

In Bangkok, the command center of the Japanese Thai Front, a group of Japanese lieutenant generals and major generals gathered together. These people not only included the commander and chief of staff of the Thai Front, but also the commander and chief of staff of the 2nd and 38th Army, as well as the division commander and brigade commander below. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles, sweeping away the decadence and despair of the previous ones.

"Commander, this time, those damn Chinese people finally tasted our power. The navy's fierce naval guns were enough to make the Chinese people pay a heavy price." The commander of the 2nd Army, Lieutenant General Yoshiki last month, smiled.

The other Japanese generals also agreed. They seemed to have forgotten that there was a huge conflict between the 6th Army of the Japanese and the navy. Of course, perhaps they had not forgotten it, but they had just forgotten it selectively.

"Well, this time, with the help of the navy, we can severely damage the Chinese. No matter what, defeating the Chinese is our unanimous target. Are our artillery ready? Start shelling immediately. Half an hour later, the troops launched a counterattack and drove the Chinese out of Bangkok in one fell swoop." Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigeto ordered.

"Hi, Commander." The generals nodded one after another.

The Japanese artillery was originally destroyed by the anti-Japanese and rescue artillery and aviation teams in the previous war. However, after the arrival of reinforcements, they still had a large-scale artillery. The 55th Division was equipped with a total of 12 1o5mm howitzers and 44 75mm field artillery. The independent mixed 57th Brigade and the 128th Brigade each had 18 75mm field artillery, and the 2nd Marine Mobile Brigade was also equipped with 18 75mm mountain cannons and field cannons. Together, there were hundreds of cannons.

Without the support of the navy, these Japanese cannons would not be enough to block the gaps in the fight against Japan and rescue. However, with the support of the navy, they could also launch a counterattack.

The Japanese artillery joined the artillery, which further increased the losses of the anti-Japanese rescue efforts.

Half an hour later, Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoki issued a counterattack order.

The three main infantry corps of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army, the ten infantry brigades of the two independent mixed brigades, and the three infantry brigades of the 2nd Maritime Mobile Brigade, all participated in the counterattack.

For a time, more than 20,000 Japanese infantry, supported by fierce artillery fire, launched a fierce attack on the anti-Japanese and rescue positions.8
