Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1728 Yamamoto's Difficult Decision

Undoubtedly, Lao Jiang's decision this time is quite wise-but anyone who still considers himself a Chinese will never forget the glory of his ancestors.Thinking back to the time when China enjoyed all nations coming to court in the name of the Celestial Dynasty, what a prestige and glory it was.However, with the advent of the first and second industrial revolutions, China missed the opportunity to keep pace with the times, and has since become a nominally big country. It coincides with the loss of the country and the difficulties of the country. If there is a former vassal country Expressing submission again, this is a great encouragement to the morale of the people.

Just as the Chutiange Department moved further towards Bangkok and was about to approach the city, Ouyang Yun from Bannanbiao County was woken up by Liu Kui after two hours of sleep: "Commander-in-Chief, the Military Commission is calling."

Sitting up to receive the telegram, Ouyang Yun glanced at it and thought about it, then sneered.Then he got up and went to the general headquarters next door, and said to the staff inside: "Call Commander Chu and ask them to suspend their attack on Bangkok." Then he called Guo Da and asked about the battle situation in Chachoengsao.

Bao Jun and Bian Jiansheng launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in Chachoyanagi three hours ago. Only the Okamoto Brigade of the First Division and a wing directly under the Front Army were left in Masuda Tomikawa's hands. After Bannambiao County was captured by the Xuebing Army, he was worried about being encircled, so he sent a unit to defend Pai Sarakham, 25 kilometers northwest of Chachoengsao, in order to maintain the traffic point with the Second Division. The army and Bian Jiansheng's three brigades fought against each other, and before Ouyang Yun took a rest, three outlying towns had been lost in a row.

Ouyang Yun was very "vicious". He didn't immediately lead Guo Da's first division to the Japanese army's retreat in Beiliu, in order to leave room for the Japanese army to retreat, and then make it easier for Baojun and Bian Jiansheng to move from town to town. Push forward and use cannon fire to reduce the Thai towns along the way to ruins.

Guo Da: "Half an hour ago, Master Bao called to report that they had captured all the Japanese strongholds in the east, west, south and south directions outside the city of Chachoengsao, and they should be attacking the city of Chachoengsao with all their strength now."

"Is that Willie in contact with Wavell?"

"Yes, Xiao Song reported to me that Willy asked Wavell about apologizing to us, and his words were quite fierce. Commander-in-Chief, are we forcing the British too much? The British are used to being arrogant—"

Ouyang Yun took out a pack of cigarettes, handed him one, and then suddenly interjected: "Old Guo, do you know the French Far East Fleet?"

Guo Da shook his head.

Ouyang Yun lit a cigarette and took a puff, "I'm seeing the French Far East Fleet."

"Ah, Commander-in-Chief."

Ouyang Yun smiled: "What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will seize and destroy the current situation of the Indochina Federation? If possible, I don't mind doing so. But the problem is that the French Far East Fleet is now in the Bay of Bengal. If you want to get The Far East Fleet must have the help of the British. I originally wanted to tempt Wavell with our advanced weapons and equipment, but now there is no need. There are two battleships, three capital ships, and 26 other warships with a total tonnage of more than 14 ——It’s a good deal!”

Guo Da was thoughtful.

Ouyang Yun was concentrating on planning the French Far East Fleet, but Yamamoto 56 in Singapore became restless like ants on a hot pot.Kansong sent emergency telegrams one after another, with increasingly bad tone, and then Masuda Fukawa sent back the intercepted information about "Ouyang Yun is out of danger", and he realized that he had been fooled.In fact, it can’t be said to be fooled. The Marine Corps was first established, and the quality of the soldiers is like this. In addition, the strength of the troops is not overwhelming, and the weapons and equipment are far inferior to those of the military. The Thai army is completely useless. Once the student army launches a major offensive, it will only be a matter of time before it fails.But the problem is that they must not lose the springboard of Thailand, otherwise, if they can only open up the western China front from Burma, what price will they have to pay?

The old devil thought again and again, and after talking on the phone with Koizumi Toshiichiro for more than two hours, he finally made up his mind. First, he recalled the Hoshō and Ryūjō aircraft carrier fleets that had arrived in the Gulf of Thailand and were waiting for an attack order, and then sent them to Masuda Tomikawa. Ordered him to immediately lead his troops to retreat to Prachinburi, join the second division there and then retreat to Thongpapong, concentrate the main force of the first army and then go to Mawlamyine, taking over the fifth division there to be responsible for the attack on Burma action.After personally signing the telegram to Masuda Fukawa, the old devil sat on the chair and stared at the roof for a full 5 minutes, then gritted his teeth and drafted a telegram to send to Kansong, saying that in order to protect the interests of Thailand, an ally, he is willing to suspend the execution " Japan-Thailand Military Alliance” agreement, so as not to give the cadet army an excuse to continue invading Thailand.At the end of this telegram, the old devil quoted Koizumi's words and wrote shamelessly: "The care of the Great Japanese Empire for its allies will be best reflected through this incident. I believe that after this incident, your country will be able to recognize who who is friend and who is enemy."

The Thai cabinet suddenly diverged in its attitude towards China and Japan, and the military agents who had been lurking underwater could detect it, and the Japanese agents who were active on the surface were naturally no problem.Koizumi made a judgment based on this phenomenon. If the imperial army cannot help Bangkok resist the aggression of the Xuebing army, then the pro-China forces in the Thai cabinet will inevitably be encouraged, and it may even overthrow Phiwen?In that case, the position of the Japanese troops stationed in Thailand would be embarrassing, and they might even be besieged by Chinese and Thai troops.Rather than being kicked out of Thailand when this happens, it is better to take the initiative to retreat.In this way, there is no excuse for the student army to invade Thailand, which is equivalent to helping Kansong.And as long as the Kansong cabinet does not fall, it is only a matter of time before Japan and Thailand re-align.Even if the Kansong cabinet is overthrown, it is not afraid. Once the strength of the Western Expedition Fleet grows, how can the combat effectiveness of the Thai army prevent the entry of the imperial army. "Your Excellency, there are actually only three main enemies of the empire, China, the Soviet Union, and the United States. Among them, the United States should be the number one enemy. The Soviet Union has its own Germans to deal with them. We only need to send troops to the Far East at the most appropriate time. China The rampant military forces of the Xuebing army will not help the overall situation. Given time, as long as we control the Pacific Ocean, it will be a matter of hands to completely defeat China. Our biggest enemy is the United States. Before defeating the United States, let people learn It’s good that the soldiers are rampant for a while,” Koizumi expressed his views on Japan’s current and potential enemies in the middle of the call.

It is extremely humiliating for Japan to show weakness to an enemy country, especially the Xuebing army, which is hated by the whole people of the empire, as a country of warriors. Yamamoto was very hesitant for a while, but it was after hearing this opinion that he made up his mind.
