876 Huang Tianyang's revenge

The high-altitude bombardment of the US army was inaccurate, and it spread to the inside and outside of Bangkok, and Chu Tingchang did not give He Bisheng the order to attack in time, which was obviously quite wise.

The escort P38 provided more accurate bomb delivery accuracy, which was not bad due to the lower score of these aircraft and the ability to dive at large angles. Some pilots ventured down into the air and strafed Japanese anti-aircraft gun positions on the ground with powerful nose fire. Because the British radar has advanced to the Shan Plateau in western Thailand, it occupies a unique geographical position. The Japanese fleet of Japanese planes taking off from the Malay Peninsula was easy to spot, so these escort planes dared to go aboard at low altitudes. If there were a few Hayabusa fighters in higher airspace, these planes would not dare to go down easily. Speed was almost the only weapon these aircraft had against the light Japanese aircraft, but if the enemy aircraft occupied a certain altitude, it was still possible to easily catch up with lightning with the help of a dive.

New assessments show that the P38 fighter jet, as well as the newly arrived P51A fighter, have gradually gained an advantage over Japanese aircraft, and the US Army is currently trying to deploy new aircraft in the Asia-Pacific region as quickly as possible. Southeast Asia has become a top priority, and Roosevelt has even used several newly launched escort aircraft carriers to transport army aircraft.

These escort aircraft carriers, starting from the east coast of the United States, rushed through the Cape of Good Hope all the way to the East Indies. Several of them were to be leased to Britain after the planes were unloaded, to strengthen the Royal Navy's forces in the direction of the Indian Ocean, and to prepare for a landing in Indonesia soon after (using Sun Liren's forces).

Seeing that the American bombing had stopped, He Bisheng's troops began to attack. The Sherman tanks in front of them were like an impregnable wall, pressing towards the front of the enemy's 23rd Wing, and the enemy's fire could hardly destroy these steel trolls. But the real attack came from the light Stewart tanks, who were maneuvering behind their positions, preparing to sneak up on a gap left by the 13th Wing's sortie.

Chu Tingchang's basic tactics were not complicated, usually to lure the enemy's attention with a frontal feint, and then surprise and attack the enemy's soft underbelly with a partial division. He has used this trick many times, and the Japanese army has not dealt with it well. Of course, these strategic victories are actually based on superior forces, superior firepower, and superior mobility, so it is difficult for the Japanese army to respond even if they see through it. In fact, Kanda did a lot of engineering before the troops were transferred to Thailand, and he specifically read Masanobu Tsuji's "Chu Tingchang's Troop Strategy".

In this booklet, there is a detailed introduction to the mobile combat examples collected by the base camp, as well as the principles behind the use of troops, but when it comes to fighting against it, Kanda discovers that even if you know what he is going to do next, the rhythm of the battlefield controlled by Chu Tingchang is something he can't adapt to.

Kanda now has no reserves to fill the gap left by the 13th Wing, and he only has a reconnaissance wing of more than 1,000 people directly under the division and regimental headquarters, a baggage wing of more than 900 people, and the remnants of the 2nd Mobile Brigade on the water can be mobilized. However, if these last people were transferred over, there would be no defense between his division headquarters and the 203rd Division. At present, the first division of the 203rd Division has entered the urban area, less than a kilometer away from his headquarters.

A fluke thought flashed through his mind, maybe he could take advantage of the 203rd Division to stop the offensive and secretly mobilize these forces to plug the gap first. It was imperative to prevent the enemy from suddenly penetrating behind the 23 Wing. Once this goal is achieved, you can slowly shrink your forces into the city, and then use the city buildings as a support to retreat to the port one by one.

Soon, the 8th Division will land in the rear, so that the bridgehead of Bangkok will be preserved. Thinking about this, he decided not to defend around the division headquarters and played the last card.

Although the Sixth Division has become a 3rd Wing Division in the reform of the base camp, in fact it still has abundant troops capable of fighting, and its baggage, engineer, and artillery units are all very good in combat, not to mention the reconnaissance wing directly under it, which is the fastest mobile force in the entire division, and the combat effectiveness of these forces is no less than that of an infantry wing of 4,000 people.

This battalion consisted of two tank companies and two infantry companies, seventy percent of the tank companies were veterans, and almost all of the commanders and gunners were experienced soldiers. They have been running in with Chu Tingchang's tactics for a long time, and they know very well that Shangfeng's intention is a quick word. So the tank can't take too much into account the speed of the infantry in the rear.

Tanks quickly detoured from behind the staggered battle lines and suddenly appeared at the enemy's vital points. Under the surveillance of drones, there is no secret about the movement of Japanese troops in the city. It can be seen that there is a force that maneuvers in vehicles, is very fast, and also carries several battle defense guns, which will obviously arrive before the tanks. Commander Chu ordered tank destroyers to block the enemy's movement.

The Japanese took advantage of the proximity and entered the position first, but the wolverines in the distance kept sniping on their transfer routes, and although the distance was very long, the shells could still fly to the column, forcing them to go farther.

When the Stuart tanks arrived, the enemy was not prepared, and the defensive support built around the battle defense artillery was too late to hide. The barrel of these 47-mm guns was very low, and if there was enough time, it would be a headache to look for good positions in the firing range and camouflage them as necessary. However, as soon as they arrived on the battlefield, the trucks were parked not far away, and the soldiers were flocking around to build fortifications, all of which made them easy for tank commanders to spot.

Tank swarms swarmed up. More than a dozen tanks, besieging a few four anti-aircraft guns.

Despite the obvious advantages, the tank still chose the strategy of low-speed advance from the front and detour from the side, giving huge pressure to the anti-aircraft guns with a limited range of fire, and the horizontal range of these guns was limited, 25 degrees to the left and right. The action of the Stewart tank was to make it impossible for the enemy to take care of the side. All operations are carried out at a distance of 800 meters away, where the enemy can see, and there is no one to hide it, so why bother to win is to put pressure on the inferior equipment of the enemy in this way.

Frontal tanks, keeping a distance, constantly fired at the enemy, of course, due to the low enemy artillery, the shelling lasted a long time and destroyed only one of them. However, the two platoons that made a detour on the side quickly approached the area outside the enemy's firing boundary. For the Japanese artillery squad, a disadvantage of the 47-mm anti-aircraft gun was that it was heavier and more difficult to move than the original 37-mm gun. They had to turn the cannons that had already smashed into the dirt to the target, and the consequence of this was that their flanks were exposed to tanks in the other direction. And once fired, the hoe will re-insert itself into the mud under the effect of recoil, and it will become difficult to move again. If the Japanese soldiers had been wise, they should have realized that the struggle was superfluous.

Under such a group of bullies and few, the four anti-aircraft guns did not achieve any results, that is, they were all scrapped. The standard for evaluating the command of the officers of each department in Chu Ting's department has long been not based on victory or defeat, but on the ratio of casualties to the loss of friend and foe. He Bisheng's command ability has grown rapidly.

He quickly occupied the 23 Wing retreat channel. Subsequent mechanized infantry arrived and began to advance in depth. Their task is to annihilate the enemy's main force in the field.

Huang Tianyang realized that the enemy defenders in front of him had been greatly weakened, and the enemy seemed to have mobilized most of the troops in front of him to resist He Bisheng, which made him feel that his self-esteem was frustrated, after all, he was a division-level unit, and He Bisheng was only at the brigade level, and he deserved more respect from his opponent. Of course, he didn't know that in Chief Chu Ting's staff, He Bisheng's new-style unit had a comprehensive combat effectiveness score of 3.2, which was the strongest combat effectiveness unit in Chu Division, while the 203rd Division, which lacked heavy weapons, had a comprehensive score of only 0.9.

But on the bright side, Huang Tianyang found that his chance for revenge was closer. His eyes in the city are constantly sending information. So he was well aware of the location of the enemy's divisional headquarters.

Huang Tianyang didn't even tell the military headquarters the location of the enemy's division and regimental headquarters, he hoped that he would be the first to rush into the enemy's division and regimental headquarters. He vowed to cut off the head of the head of the Japanese division commander with his own hands to avenge his uncle. For this reason, he specially visited the Guandi Temple near the temple and invited an 82-pound Guan knife made by overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty 400 years ago.

Huang Tianyang's little abacus, Chu Tingchang saw it very clearly, but he didn't want to expose it. He also hoped that Huang Tianyang could grow up quickly and establish some combat exploits. This man will be an important part of the future experience in Southeast Asia, his family has deep roots in Southeast Asia, and has a hundred years of patriotic tradition, so he needs to be a priority to win over.

Huang Tianyang's troops saw the opportunity to attack, and his uncle's disciples and grandsons continued to send information on enemy movements, helping his troops open the gap faster. Behind the stalemate in the streets and alleys northwest of Bangkok, the commandos of the 203rd Division were ready, and Huang Tianyang was ready to complete the assault with a half-track vehicle, and he himself would personally direct the battle.

The troops at the front knocked out the last of the enemy's pillboxes on the street and finally opened a gap in the defensive line. Huang Tianyang's troops quickly rushed through the streets and deep into the interior of Bangkok.

Huang Tianyang's actions were not unexpected by Kanda, but Kanda had already taken care of one or the other, and he couldn't use any mobile forces to resist him. Now standing between his division headquarters and Huang Tianyang, who was eager for revenge, were only a few hundred remnants of the Water Mobile Brigade. The last line of defense of the 6th Division had to be defended by the navy.

The enemy formed a network of fire with machine guns and tried to block the advance of the half-track. Huang's troops didn't have much work to intersperse and break down the enemy's defenses, Huang Tianyang chose to attack directly head-on, he used to use trucks as tank charges, and half-tracks were tanks in his eyes.

Soon the enemy destroyed several half-track vehicles with rapid-fire guns, but the infantry on the vehicles still stubbornly charged, taking advantage of the ruins after the bombing of the American army to get close to the enemy, and successively destroyed the anti-aircraft gun positions near the Bangkok General University, where the enemy's headquarters was located. More half-tracks crawled through the rubble and used 12.7mm machine guns to cover the attacking troops, but the enemy did not have enough firepower to resist such weak firepower. In addition to the 12.7mm machine gun and 60 mortars, Huang Tianyang also had no more firepower.
