Chapter 435: Battle of Despair
On February 21, the attack on Bangkok by the Anti-Japanese Rescue was restored again. Although, yesterday, they evacuated Bangkok to avoid Japanese naval guns. However, on the edge of the downtown Bangkok, they left several strongholds as the advance base for the next attack. Now, these strongholds are just in handy. The Anti-Japanese Rescue can directly pass these strongholds and put troops into the downtown Bangkok.
Of course, before the infantry launched an attack, firepower preparations such as artillery and bombing were naturally indispensable. Hundreds of 155mm heavy howitzers, 200 105mm light howitzers and more than 300 75mm field guns once again launched violent shelling in the city of Bangkok.
Although the downtown area of Bangkok has long been turned into ruins at this moment. However, in order to eliminate the Japanese troops entrenched in the downtown area of Bangkok as much as possible and destroy their fortifications, the anti-Japanese rescue team will never be stingy in terms of firepower support.
At the same time, the anti-Japanese and rescue air force also dispatched a large number of bombers to bomb important Japanese strongholds in Bangkok. A large number of aviation bombs fell like raindrops, destroying all these Japanese strongholds.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The violent explosion sounded constantly in the downtown area of Bangkok. The scene in the entire downtown area of Bangkok is now like the end of the world. Explosions are everywhere, and human bodies are torn to pieces by shells or bombs, broken limbs and arms, etc., and they are flying everywhere, as if they are in hell.
"Boom!" A 155mm shell hit a bunker of the Japanese army.
This bunker was dug by the Japanese army in a hurry last night. Therefore, the defense naturally did not work. Originally, these Japanese troops did not expect to dig these bunkers. They thought that with the support of the naval fleet, even if they could not completely defeat the anti-Japanese rescue, there would be no problem in defending Bangkok. The power of the naval guns is so powerful that if the anti-Japanese rescue will dare to launch an attack, the naval guns will make them unable to bear it.
But who knew that the task force would be defeated so quickly and miserably. This made these Japanese troops stationed in Bangkok become the turtle in the jar surrounded by the anti-Japanese and rescue operations. Therefore, they could only work hard to build fortifications in the hope of persisting for a longer period of time under the attack of the anti-Japanese and rescue operations.
During the violent explosion, the bunker was suddenly blown up. A Type 92 heavy machine gun deployed here was blown up on the spot. Most of the dozen Japanese soldiers hiding inside died. The remaining people fled in a panic.
During the fierce artillery bombardment and bombing of the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts, the Japanese strongholds in Bangkok City were successively destroyed. At the same time, the Japanese army in the city were also seriously injured. Although there were more than 50,000 Japanese troops in Bangkok City, they were completely unable to withstand the attack of the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts. Not to mention anything else, the morale of the troops was constantly declining. Under such circumstances, can they still be expected to fight bravely and fight against the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts?
Of course, such troops are not without them. Japan himself is known for his paranoia. Once he falls into a desperate situation, some of them will lose their will to resist. But in the same way, some will become even more crazy.
The fire preparation for the anti-Japanese and rescue of the *** lasted for two hours. Of course, this was undoubtedly a year for the Japanese army in Bangkok. However, for the anti-Japanese and rescue of the ***, such fire preparation was just ordinary. It was not that the artillery soldiers who were anti-Japanese and rescue of the ** did not want to continue shelling, but because the reserves of shells were no longer enough. A large number of shells needed to be transported from Myanmar. The previous battles had almost been consumed. Even if there were two baggage brigades to transport these war materials, some of them could not be supplied.
Fortunately, Bangkok has been bombed into ruins, and the Japanese defensive fortifications in the city have been almost destroyed by artillery bombardment before the anti-Japanese rescue. Naturally, there is no need to worry anymore.
"Occurrence!" At 10 a.m., Qin Shou issued an order to attack.
The six infantry divisions each sent an infantry regiment, divided into six routes, and invaded Bangkok City.
At the same time, the armored brigade and the tank battalions of various infantry divisions also attacked the city with these infantry, helping these infantry to clear the resistance of the Japanese army in the city.
Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the anti-Japanese and rescue infantry began to set off from various strongholds and launched an attack on the Japanese city of Bangkok where the Japanese army occupied. All the Japanese troops who blocked them were crushed to pieces.
"It's time for the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire to be loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. Take up your weapons and launch an attack on the Chinese people. Even if we die in battle, our souls will return to Kyudansaka and be worshipped by the world." A Japanese brigade leader said to hundreds of Japanese soldiers under his command.
The eyes of these Japanese soldiers were full of fanaticism. Although they all knew that this time they would definitely die. However, if they could enter the Yasukuni Shrine after death and accept the worship of Japan himself, then death would be nothing to them.
"Yoxi, attack! Kill all the Chinese people." The Japanese captain was very satisfied with the performance of his soldiers and immediately issued an order to attack.
A street not far from them, an infantry platoon who fought against Japan and rescued the Japanese army was led by an m3 light tank to clean up the Japanese remnants on the street.
At this time, hundreds of Japanese troops rushed into the streets. They carried bayonet rifles and launched a fierce attack on the infantry platoon that was fighting against Japan and rescuing **.
"Dadada!" The m3 light tank reacted first and immediately started strafing.
The fierce machine gun fire rushed over and knocked many Japanese troops to the ground. However, this did not scare these Japanese troops. They stepped on the bodies of their dead companions and continued to launch an attack.
"Open fire and kill me these days. Call for support from the company." The platoon leader of the second lieutenant who fought against Japan and rescued ** calmly gave the order.
"Da da da da!"
The light and heavy machine guns began to strafuse, and combined with the firepower of the m3 light tank, slaughtered these Japanese troops.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The m1 semi-automatic rifles in the hands of the soldiers were also constantly firing, using powerful firepower to prevent the attack of these Japanese troops.
Although the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in military strength, the street was not wide, which made the Japanese army's military force unable to be exerted at all. At the same time, they were hit by fire from the anti-Japanese rescue, which directly turned the Japanese army's attack into suicide. (To be continued...)
