"Open fire" Joey gathered all the mortars of all calibers in his hands and bombarded the village in front, and the scouts who came out found that there was a Thai army armed in the village, and Joey, who had captured a lot of ammunition and could not carry it, planned to destroy the village directly with artillery fire, and the province himself had to free up trucks to load these mortar shells with covering infantry. Although the caliber of the Japanese mortars is too small, and the lethal effect is not as good as that of American mortar shells, the power of the salvo looks good, and seeing that it has been submerged in the sea of fire and smoke and flying into the village, Joey is in a good mood.

The Thais sent a messenger to ask for a truce, but Joey ignored it at all, what peace talks or armistice were all things that his boss needed to worry about, he was just the commander of the armored division, and the mission of the armored division was to make a sharp knife, a sharp knife that pierced Thailand. "We must beat them up and take away all their heavy weapons, so that they tremble when they hear the name of our thunder, and as long as there is one Japanese in Thailand, the attack of the armored division will not stop." This was the order given by Zhao Zhi over the airwaves when Joey left Chiang Mai Province with the armored division.

From the moment he received the order, the American from Texas had already used his heavy stalker command vehicle as a galloping horse under his crotch, the Browning heavy machine gun on the roof of the car was the invincible sharp long knife in the knight's hand, and the strong protective armor of the heavy stalker was the armor on the knight's body, and Joey had automatically transformed himself into a medieval heavy cavalry galloping across the field. The armored division under his command is an invincible army of heavy cavalry, no matter how many Thai troops are blocking his way, he will lead the heavy cavalry to crush them one by one with long knives.

"Machine guns fired, and the infantry covered the flanks." The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the Thai ambush soldiers who had been waiting for the armored division could not bear to come forward, and Joey's light stalker team had long been ready to fight, and the stalkers in a line showed their long knives, and as the squad commander gave the order to fire, the heavy machine guns on more than a dozen light stalkers fired. A hurricane-like barrage swept through everything that stood in their way, and the collision of flesh and metal created a large blood mist, and the front end of the Thai army's impact route instantly turned red.

Dozens of Thai soldiers lined up at the front end of the shock formation were directly torn to pieces by the barrage, and the large-caliber bullets of heavy machine guns hit the human body as a big hole, and if they hit the limbs, they will definitely turn the target into a mutilated disabled person. The Thai army was greeted not only by these dozen heavy machine guns, but also by the covering infantry equipped by the light stalker squad, and the rain of bullets fired from the Garand rifle filled the shooting blind spot left by the heavy machine gun in time, and what awaited the Thai army was a death barrage without a dead end.

"Leave a squad to clean up the battlefield, and the squad moves on." It took Joey half an hour for only a thousand Thai troops in the village, and Joey, who was standing in the command car, was very dissatisfied with the performance of the lurker team, and at this rate, if the armored division wanted to reach Bangkok, God knew it would be the Year of the Monkey. Capture the Thai royal family alive in Bangkok, this is the goal and task that Joey has set for himself, and the entire Thunder into Thailand's forward force is his own armored division, if such a task cannot be completed by his own armored division, Joey doesn't know who else can complete it.

Joey's armored division has reached Thailand's Chai Na province, which is only 200 kilometers from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, and borders U Thai Thani and Nakhon Sawan provinces to the north. south of Singburi and Suphan Buri; It is bordered by Nakhon Sawan and Shinburi to the east; It is bordered by Utai Thani to the west. Most of Chai Na province is a low-lying plain, with only a few mountains and minerals, and there are many rivers and harbors here, and it is a famous land of fish and rice in Thailand.

"Our next target is Sinburi Province to the east, most of the terrain of Sinburi Province is a low-lying plain that is very suitable for armored group assaults, although there are also criss-crossing harbors, but as long as we get out of the way of these rivers and ditches, our armored group will be able to collect all the food and products that are about to be harvested in Sinburi." After a three-hour march, the division stopped to rest, and Joey called his officers together for a meeting to discuss the division's next move.

"There is still the Chao Phraya River between the credible Buri and Chai Na provinces, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to cross the Chao Phraya River, the Thai army must have destroyed all their bridges, and even if we can find a boat, it will be difficult for our heavy tanks to cross the river by boat." There is a direction, but there are also problems. After the armored division entered Thailand and moved south, the Thai army, which was defeated by the armored division, blocked and intercepted the armored division to the south, while destroying bridges and roads as much as possible to delay the speed of the armored division.

"Yes, the Chao Phraya River is not the same as the small river ditch we encountered during this time, the simple pontoon bridge we built ourselves will not work on the Chao Phraya River at all, heavy tanks and armored vehicles cannot cross the river, and the combat effectiveness of our armored division will be greatly reduced. The Thai army will definitely gather a large number of troops waiting for us, and it is too dangerous to force the river crossing, so it is better to think about it before speaking. "Joey's adjutant is also not very optimistic about the eastward advance of Sinburi Province, at least until there is no good way to solve the problem of crossing the river, it is unlikely that the armored division will move east to Sinburi Province.

"There is no need to change the direction of our attack, the headquarters has already dispatched the engineer unit to rush over, and the Kunming side has made a steel structure bridge module, as long as we find a suitable place to cross the river, the engineer unit can use these modules they brought to build a steel bridge that can pass through heavy tanks in the shortest possible time." The reason why these things have not been put into actual combat is that Zhao Zhi hopes that the Thai army will continue to destroy the bridge to delay the southward movement of the armored division.

The destruction of their bridges by the Thai army not only delayed the southward movement of the Panzer Division, but also hindered the build-up of their own forces to a certain extent, and as the Panzer Division advanced southward, the Thai Army could only shrink and assemble like Bangkok. Rather than letting the troops disperse and pursue the Thai army that broke apart, it is better to force them to encircle and annihilate them at one point, Sinburi Province is only 140 kilometers away from Bangkok, once the armored division crosses the Chao Phraya River and goes straight to Bangkok, it will only be able to do it in half a day, and now it is time for the final decisive battle between the Thunder and the Thai army, and Zhao Zhi does not have to continue to hide his secrets.

"As long as the problem of crossing the river can be solved, then moving east to Sinburi is not a problem, but does that bridge module of the engineering unit really work? The Tiger squad is full of big guys, and if they want to cross the river smoothly, the bridge needs to be strong. "The voice of suspicion can't disappear all at once, some of the officers under Joey are still suspicious of crossing the river, the armored division has been going all the way south, the casualties of the soldiers are not very large, but one after another tanks and armored vehicles have temporarily withdrawn from the battle because of malfunctions, and the Tiger squad only has so many heavy tanks, which are all weapons for the armored division to break the enemy, if they have problems, the combat effectiveness of the armored division is bound to be weakened a lot.

"Okay, let's all go and prepare, the boss will not use us as a test for new equipment, the engineering unit will be able to catch up with us in the afternoon, and then it will naturally understand what is going on with this bridge module." Zhao Zhi equipped the engineering units with more than a hundred trucks, there were armored divisions that opened up good routes, and the engineering units without combat missions marched very fast. During the siege of the village, where the Thai army was hidden, Joey received a telegram from the engineering troops, who ordered him to rest here in order to wait for the engineering troops to arrive in a hurry.

At dinner time, the sappers who rushed to the meeting place finally appeared in the sight of Joey, who was about to see through them, and more than 1,000 sappers got out of the truck, which made Joey a little disappointed. The scout team that went out to reconnoiter had already found out that the Thai army had destroyed all the bridges on the Chao Phraya River, and the span of the Chao Phraya River was too large, and the headquarters only sent such a few sappers to build bridges, and it was impossible to say that the armored division would send its own escort infantry to participate in the bridge building, which would have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the armored division.

"Commander Joey, I'm Clooney from the 1st Engineer Regiment." The commander of the sappers was a Jewish officer who looked no more than 20 years old, and Clooney was a little too young in the face of Joey and the other Panzer Division officers, who were all over 30 years old. Xu was aware of the confusion in Joey's eyes, and Clooney touched his nose a little crampedly, "Commander Joey, our task is to build a steel bridge for your armored division to cross the river, can you tell us the location you have marked to cross the river, I hope to do a field trip." ”

From the bottom of his heart, Joey was not very satisfied with these sappers, but the sappers had already arrived, and he could not return them, so he sent a team to escort Clooney and his so-called bridge experts to the river crossing site. Throughout the night, trucks arrived in the makeshift camp, loaded with strange-looking objects, and from the sappers, Joey knew that these iron guys were the parts of the steel bridge, but they really couldn't see how to use them.

At dawn, the red-eyed Clooney finally came back with red bumps all over his body, and they identified two river crossing sites, both of which avoided the key defense areas of the Thai army on the other side, as long as Joey could send a feint force to the upstream ferry to attract the attention of the Thai army for three hours, Clooney's engineer unit could successfully build a steel bridge suitable for the Panzer Division to pass.
