The rainy season has just ended, and the flood season of the Chao Phraya River has not yet ended, and the river is still earthy brown. Situated on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok, the capital of the Kingdom of Siam, is now very tense. Since the squadron appeared on the Siamese border and the Chinese navy blockaded the Gulf of Siam, all Siamese people knew that China was going to attack Siam. Or, as the Chinese say, to punish Siam for the betrayal of Zheng Xin by the Siamese royal family who established the Bangkok dynasty.

For ordinary Siamese people, they have never felt that war is so close to them. In the past, Siam was surrounded by British and French forces, and its position was relatively threatening. But when wars do break out, they are very rare. The long period of stable life has made these Siamese people forget the cruelty of war.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! A heavy, thunderous voice came from the south. Ordinary people may think that it is thunder, but some experienced Siamese people are pale. Where is thunder, it is clearly the sound of large-caliber naval artillery shelling. This undoubtedly means that the Chinese have launched an attack on Siam.

In the Grand Palace of Siam, Chulalongkorn on the Siam Bay, was walking around with an anxious face, and the corners of his mouth were blistered because of some fire.

A series of hurried footsteps were heard, and the head of the Siamese military, Pase Vorana, walked briskly into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese have attacked. The Chinese navy, storming Bantaro. In addition, Prachin, Tong Ai and Kanchanaburi were attacked by the Chinese at the same time. The army of the kingdom. A bloody battle with the Chinese! Pasevorana said.

"It's time to come. Order the kingdom's army to resist the attack of the Chinese. The Chinese committed only five divisions and less than 100,000 troops. With millions of troops and a large number of loyal citizens, we will definitely be able to defeat the invasion of the Chinese! King Chulalongkorn of Siam said firmly. It's just that his voice trembled a little, showing that he didn't have enough confidence at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I have given the order that the armies everywhere will not retreat to the death. The Chinese want to defeat Siam. There will be a terrible price to pay! Admiral Pasevolana replied. He may not have known that less than an hour before the start of the battle, the squadron had already invaded Siam with great momentum. The defenders of Siam, who were at least five times larger than the squadron, were faced with the attack of the squadron. It was often a matter of collapse at the first touch, and the root could not cause any difficulty to the squadron's attack. So far, the offensive of several squadrons has been very smooth and is advancing towards the intended goal. In particular, the 15th Division and the 2nd Marine Division, which were directly under the General Staff Headquarters that landed in Bangkok Bay, had already begun a large-scale landing. It is expected that by tomorrow all the strength and equipment of the two divisions. They will all go ashore. When the time comes, it's time to march to Bangkok.

"That's good! I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to Siam! Prime Minister, as soon as our army gains the upper hand. You immediately contact the Chinese, and we are willing to keep peace with China. China is too strong, and Siam is never China's opponent, as long as it can keep Siam's social security. I'm satisfied! King Chulalongkorn of Siam said. Until now, he has not yet made up his mind to fight China to the end. He always thought that as long as the Siamese army could resist China's attack, then he could use this as a basis to start peace talks with China, even if it cost a certain price, and end the war with China. As long as the independence of Siam can be guaranteed, the continuation of the Bangkok dynasty will be fine.

"Yes, Your Majesty. It depends on the performance of the military. As long as the military wins, then Siam will be safe! Prime Minister Tan Ka Soon said. With that, he glanced at Pasevorana. Obviously, now all the heavy responsibilities are on the military.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The kingdom's millions of troops will definitely be able to fulfill His Majesty's orders! Pasevorana assured. However, when he left the palace and returned to the military headquarters, his face turned pale after receiving the battle report from the front. The rout at the front was completely beyond his imagination. He originally thought that the troops on the front line would be able to hold out for two or three days. But he didn't expect that the war had just begun, and the elite army of Siam had already been defeated.

Bantarore, the inhabitants of this place had all fled before the squadron attacked, and there was not a single Siamese left in the whole city, except for a few old and sick people who really had nowhere to go. Under the heavy shelling of the Chinese Navy, the whole of Bantaro was reduced to rubble. The corpses of the defenders, scattered everywhere.

"Come on, find some Siamese people, and collect all these corpses, lest they cause a plague!" The commander of this campaign to destroy Siam was General Su Hongguang, commander of the Ninth Army. After the 2nd Marine Division took Bantaro, he had already landed on Siamese soil. Although the troops responsible for landing in Bangkok Bay were not directly subordinate to the Ninth Army, these two divisions were also temporarily controlled by him.

"Yes, Commander!" A junior officer commanded.

Soon, thousands of Siamese were found, and they began to clean up the corpses here. Originally, they did not want to come. However, under the threat of the guns of the Chinese soldiers, they came anyway. These Siamese people, armed with hoes and other tools, dug several large pits outside the city, and then threw the bodies of those Siamese soldiers into the pits and buried them. As for the bodies of Chinese soldiers, they were disposed of by special personnel. These Chinese soldiers who died in the battle will be transported back to China and then buried in peace.

"What is the situation of the Siamese now? Are there any signs of a counteroffensive? Admiral Su Hongguang looked at the map and asked. Bantaroro, only 25 kilometers away from Bangkok, only takes two days to be able to reach the city of Bangkok.

"Commander, the Siamese show no signs of a counteroffensive. However, more than 100,000 Siamese are gathering towards Samut Prakan. Samut Prakan is the gateway to Bangkok, and if you take Samut Prakan, we will be able to conquer Bangkok. Lieutenant General Wang Qiuyan, chief of staff of the Ninth Army, replied.

"Excellent! These Siamese people think they want to stop us at Samut Prakan. The 15th Division was ordered to speed ashore, and the 151st Regiment, which had already landed, advanced towards Samut Prakan to maintain pressure on the Siamese army. Tomorrow, the whole army will launch an offensive against Samut Prakan! Admiral Su Hongguang ordered.

In the afternoon of the same day, the 151st Regiment arrived less than three kilometers away from Samut Prakan to garrison, and the Siamese army assembled eight divisions and more than 100,000 people in Samut Prakan, but these more than 100,000 Siamese troops did not dare to attack a squadron with only one regiment.

On September 12, the 15th Army Division and the 2nd Marine Division arrived in Samut Prakan. Two divisions, more than 30,000 men, concentrated nearly 100 mm heavy artillery pieces and launched a fierce attack on the Siamese defenders in Samut Prakan. The Navy also dispatched two light cruisers and four destroyers into the Chao Phraya River to Samut Prakan to provide artillery support to the Army and Marines. The navy's naval guns are much more powerful than the army's heavy artillery. For a time, the whole Samut Prakan was filled with gunsmoke.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense shells rained down on the Siamese army in Samut Prakan. The Siamese army was bombed on their backs, and from time to time soldiers were blown up into the air. As for the improvised fortifications they built, they were blown up and scattered under heavy shelling. Although Samut Prakan is a prefecture city, much larger than Bantarore, it still cannot withstand the attack of the squadron.

The Siamese army deployed hundreds of artillery pieces in Samut Prakan. However, most of these guns are 75 mm mountain guns. Immediately after the attack, the artillery of the Siamese army returned fire. However, they shelled less than two rounds before they were spotted by the squadron's observation balloons in the sky. Subsequently, the artillery of the squadron launched a fierce suppression of the artillery positions of the Siamese army. In less than twenty minutes, the artillery positions of the Siamese army were destroyed, one cannon after another was blown up, and the barrels were blown into twists. The artillery was slaughtered.

After the shelling, the squadrons of the two divisions launched a fierce attack on Samut Prakan. The resistance of the Siamese army was very weak. The overwhelming artillery bombardment before had already scared them out. With just one charge, the squadron took the outlying positions at Samut Prakan.

Subsequently, the squadron entered Samut Prakan and engaged the Siamese army in street fighting.

The streets of Samut Prakan are relatively narrow, which is not conducive to the movement of large troops. The squadron was still a squad, gradually clearing the Siamese army in the city. Light machine guns, snipers and grenades worked together, and the Siamese troops in the city retreated one after another. By the afternoon, the entire Samut Prakan had been captured by the squadron. The remnants of the Siamese army have withdrawn from Samut Prakan.

After the fall of Samut Prakan, the Siamese army fled in the direction of Bangkok. And the squadron pursued it with all its might. The combat effectiveness of the Siamese army is really rubbish, and for the squadron that is accustomed to fighting tough battles, the attack on Siam is as easy as an outing. On September 13, the vanguard of the squadron had already arrived in Bangkok.

When the squadron appeared outside Bangkok, the entire Siamese top brass was nervous. A large number of nobles and wealthy people rushed to flee from Bangkok before the squadron could attack it. They were afraid that they would not be able to escape if they wanted to. In the afternoon of the same day, the main force of the squadron arrived and surrounded Bangkok, and the Siamese royal family and army inside could not fly.
