Chapter 220 This is the deposit! (First update!)

After fooling Fettig, Cun Yunsheng wiped his sweat.

It turns out that when dealing with smart people, you still have to be sincere.

It's far from enough to just rely on deception.

Meng Fanle next to him joked.

"Commander, your level of deception has improved. You can even deceive such a smart person. This is amazing, amazing."

As he said this, Meng Fanle gave a thumbs up.

"Go away. Do you think what others say is just bragging?" Cun Yunsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, and then changed his expression.

Huh?
Meng Fan was stunned.

I didn't expect that it would be discovered?

"How did you know?" Meng Fan asked with a puzzled look.

"Hmph, looking at your expression, do I need to guess? I can tell with my eyes closed that you must think this guy is bragging." Cun Yunsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, then shook his head and said.

"I'm not bragging. All of us put together are not as strong as him."

Hearing this, Meng Fan curled his lips with a look of disdain.

Why is he so unconvinced?

Better than all of us?

"Is he stronger than you?" Meng asked in annoyance.

"To be honest, you are indeed better than me. At least I can't rub bullets with my hands." Cun Yunsheng spread his hands. He was not bragging.

How can he compare with the tough guy who rubs bullets with his hands?
If it weren't for the golden finger, he would probably be worse than Long Wenjian.

"Can you really rub out bullets?" Meng Fan hesitated for a moment, but still asked with some disbelief.

"It really can. You will know it soon." Cun Yunsheng said confidently.

"The New First Army has been ordered to move westward. We must also speed up our actions. How is the training of Duan Zhenguo's New First Regiment going?"

The task force formed a new first regiment, with Duan Zhenguo as the commander, and the personnel were a combination of some of the recruits recruited from Nantianmen and some new recruits.

It was organized entirely according to the standard U.S. military regiment structure.

The equipment is also completely in line with American equipment.

It can be said that this is a replica of the American-equipped regiment.

Originally, he was planning to form a new reorganized regiment with Li Ula and several other battalions.

But after some consideration, I decided to give up the idea.

He had to consider the ideas of Li Ula and others.

After all, if you are doing a good job, you will definitely not be happy if you suddenly have a new boss.

If any conflict arises, it will definitely affect our combat effectiveness.

It would be better for the remaining infantry battalions to be directly under the task force headquarters for the time being.

Some of the recruited officers served as officers in the newly formed troops.

This can avoid some conflicts as much as possible.

Factions were inevitable, and he could only find ways to reduce the conflicts between the two sides.

"The reorganization has been basically completed, but those new recruits still need some time to train." Meng Fanle said quickly.

"I understand. Let him speed up the training. Time waits for no one. There will be many battles waiting for us in the future." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

"Send a telegram to Li Ula and others, asking them to continue to move south. Hasn't Zhao He's armored regiment been formed? Have him follow them. This time we have to fight until we reach Bangkok."

Hearing this, Meng Fan hesitated for a moment and asked.

"And what about the French?"

"Let Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang maintain the current situation. Once Siam is resolved, encircle the French army and force them to surrender." Cun Yunsheng ordered.

"Has the volunteer team found the right person? After taking Bangkok, Siam needs to be handed over to them for disposal. It would be best if they can find someone from Siam."

"If we send them to Duan Liguo, will there be no captives willing to surrender?"

Some time ago, Li Ula sent a group of prisoners. Originally, he wanted to find a reason to kill them all.

How could he have the food to feed these prisoners?

Later I thought that if I killed him like this, I would definitely be criticized.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, the decision was made to send it directly to Duan Liguo to build the road.

Anyway, those who died while building the road will definitely not be blamed on him.

"Not yet. I think we can wait." Meng Fanle thought for a while and said.

"Okay, let's wait a little longer and let Li Ula take over Phitsanulok Province first." Cun Yunsheng said while staring at the map.

"Once we take over this place, let Ioshita Yuta go to Bangkok again and bring this letter over."

He had been eyeing the Siamese navy for a long time.

Sailors are being recruited now, and it is said that many veterans have been recruited.

A number of disabled veterans were also recruited, and these people were just right to teach the new recruits.

Moreover, even if they take down Siam’s navy, they will not conduct long-distance expeditions for the time being, but at most conduct near-shore training.

After all, they are all old warships. Even if he gets them, he can only keep up appearances.

Are we going to fight the Combined Fleet with just these junk?
That's not a joke?

"Yes." Meng Fanle responded quickly.

……

On the other side, Li Ula, who received the telegram, pondered for a while and decided to directly issue the order for a general attack.

There is no need for tactics.

Especially after Zhao He's tank regiment arrived, the morale of the Sichuan Army was now very high.

"attack!"

The Sichuan Army, which had been waiting impatiently, shouted loudly on the battlefield.

"Go ahead, follow me and kill."

"Forward, forward!"

"Speed ​​up, speed up."

"Asshole, get out of the way."

"Go ahead, follow me."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The American tanks were rushing in the front and suddenly let out a roar.

Especially when he saw infantry blocking the road ahead, the tank commander stepped forward and asked the infantry to stay away.

After all, such an opportunity to show military merit is rare.

Tanks, one after another, charged towards the Siamese positions in the distance.

Zhao He had only one requirement for the tank regiment, which was to capture Phitsanulok Province in one go.

So when he came up, he threw all the tanks in his hands.

Everyone in the newly formed armored regiment was holding their breath. They wanted to teach the Siamese army in front of them a lesson and let them know that the newly formed armored regiment was the ace unit of the Sichuan Army.

Heavy artillery shells in the sky flew over the soldiers' heads and bombarded the Siamese positions.

The Thai troops on the position looked at the shells about to fall from the sky with trembling eyes.

boom!
A position with complete facilities was blown to pieces.

The defense line was like tofu and was no match for the powerful artillery fire of the Sichuan Army.

At this moment, the Thai soldiers could only wailing under the tanks of the Sichuan Army.

All resistance became pale and powerless in the face of American tanks.

Of course, there were also some who were not afraid of death and wanted to hold on to their explosives and die together with the tanks of the Sichuan Army, but they were eventually riddled with machine gun bullets.

Screams echoed throughout the entire position. The soldiers of the Sichuan Army were already accustomed to this kind of situation.

Because of the experience in dealing with the Japanese army, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army now greet the Thai army with bullets first and then grenades.

After a fierce attack, the Thai troops in the position raised their hands and surrendered.

It took only ten minutes to take down the first line of defense.

Such a fierce offensive rhythm confused the Thai troops who came to support.

Isn't this too fierce? Although they already knew that the Sichuan Army was very strong.

But this is obviously a bit too strong.

Especially the densely packed tanks, it's simply outrageous.

"Damn, there are so many tanks?" The commander of the 11th Division of the Thai Army stationed in Phitsanulok Province asked bitterly while looking at the battle report sent by his subordinates.

"Yes, there are at least hundreds of tanks on the front battlefield, and we can't stop the enemy's attack at all." The subordinate who came to report said with a pale face.

In addition, there are heavy artillery.

The firepower was so strong that they had no way to fight back.

"Sir, why don't we retreat? We can't stop the Sichuan Army's attack." A staff officer advised.

Hearing this, the commander of the 11th Division glanced at the battle report and then looked at the map.

"You guys say, is the Sichuan Army going to attack Bangkok?"

It’s no wonder that he had such thoughts, because the Sichuan Army’s offensive force was really too strong this time.

There is no comparison with the past.

Hearing this, the subordinates were also a little confused.

"That shouldn't be the case, right? After all, the Japanese 4th Division is there. That's a Type A division with very strong combat effectiveness." The staff officer who spoke earlier shook his head.

"That makes sense. Then let's withdraw to Bangkok first?" The commander of the 11th Division thought about it and felt that with the strength of his troops, it would be impossible to stop the attack of the Sichuan Army.

Especially with the support of hundreds of tanks, let alone.

Now the whole army is in panic and morale has dropped sharply.

Asking them to fight back would be tantamount to committing suicide, which is simply impossible.

Therefore, the only option is to retreat.

Concentrate the troops in Bangkok, where they will fight a bloody battle with the Sichuan Army.

After all, the Japanese 4th Division is there. I believe the Sichuan Army should not dare to be so arrogant.

The suggestion of the commander of the 11th Division was agreed by everyone.

Soon, the Sichuan Army discovered that the enemy in front of them was fleeing in panic.

This made them a little confused.

Got it now?
The easy capture of Phitsanulok Province made Li Ula feel bewildered.

It's too easy.

If the scouts had not repeatedly reported that there was no ambush ahead, he would probably have suspected that there was an ambush waiting for him ahead.

After taking Phitsanulok Province, Li U-la decided to take a break first, mainly because the tank regiment needed to replenish some fuel.

But the Thai army in Bangkok began to panic.

"Sir, the Siamese royal family seems to be showing signs of retreat." Lieutenant General Kenzo Kitano, commander of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Bangkok, looked at the map and the chief of staff beside him spoke.

His telegram requesting transfer was rejected.

That's right!

It was originally a foregone conclusion that he would be able to return to the base camp, and even a new position had been arranged.

The results of it?
got rejected.

This made Kitano Kenzo almost vomit blood.

He didn't want to stay in the 4th Division for even a second.

Even Yamashita Tomoyuki couldn't deal with this kind of division.

Why do you think he can handle it?
but?
There is no chance to give up even if you want to.

Because the Sichuan Army captured Phitsanulok Province and was preparing to continue moving south.

Especially now that the Siamese royal family is about to evacuate, how can we fight?
You should know that the King of Siam went directly to Europe to study because of the invasion of the Japanese army.

Therefore, the important officials in the country had no choice but to cooperate with the Japanese army.

Unexpectedly, the peace did not last long. The Sichuan Army rose rapidly and is now about to reach Bangkok.

Now they face two choices. The first is to continue to follow the Japanese army to the end.

The other option is to drive out the Japanese troops and choose to cooperate with the Allies.

After all, Siam had a good relationship with the British army.

There is no problem in rebelling at this time.

But considering the Japanese 4th Division, the important officials in Bangkok hesitated again.

Kitano Kenzo looked at the map with a look of deep hatred.

To be honest, he also wanted to withdraw.

But we can't retreat.

He had to save Bangkok.

You know, Bangkok supplies them with a lot of rice every year. If they lose this food area, their lives will be even more difficult.

"Sir, division commander, should we..." Seeing that Kitano Kenzo did not say anything, the chief of staff asked again cautiously, but was quickly interrupted by Lieutenant General Kitano Kenzo.

"We will never withdraw. We will stay here and defend Bangkok for the empire."

He even drew out his command knife with a clang and spoke with gritted teeth.

"We cannot retreat. We must defend Bangkok."

Hearing this, the Chief of Staff knew that retreat was impossible.

And they also know the importance of Bangkok.

This is an important grain-producing area. If we lose it, people will starve.

Therefore, we must never retreat easily.

But for the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division, they wanted to retreat.

In fact, there are still two divisions in Bangkok with good combat effectiveness, and one of them is the Guards Division guarding the royal palace.

If we defend Bangkok seriously, there is still hope.

After all, Bangkok still has the Siamese Navy to provide support.

"Continue to defend?" Major Nojiri frowned slightly when he received the order from the division headquarters.

The 4th Division would never fight a battle that would lead to their own death.

So, he subconsciously thought about retreating to save his life.

However, when Yuta Inoshita appeared, Major Nojiri felt that he could still stay.

Because Jingxia Yuta took out a telegram with Cun Yunsheng's signature in black and white on it.

As long as the Japanese 4th Division presents the Siamese Navy warships intact.

The Sichuan Army will pay a reward of 100 million yen.

For the sake of 100 million yen, Major Nojiri thought he could stay and give it a try.

During this period, he also contacted many military officers, and they were all extremely interested in the 100 million yen he proposed.

As mentioned earlier, the Japanese military’s pay was very low.

Especially for the soldiers, a month's salary may not be enough to buy a chicken.

Now that a huge sum of money has fallen from the sky, they naturally will not give it up.

"This is the deposit. After the deal is done, the balance will be given to you in full." Jingxia Yuta tactfully took out a box and handed it over.

Major Nojiri was stunned. He didn't expect that he had even brought the deposit.

It seems that the other party really wants to complete this deal.

"You're not playing tricks, are you? Will you launch the attack after the mission is accomplished?" Major Nojiri thought for a moment and asked again.

"No, the 4th Division is a Type A division, and has nearly 30,000 people. The Sichuan Army has only a little over 10,000 people at most. We are no match for you at all. We really want to do business with the 4th Division." Inoshita Yuta explained hurriedly.

"Uncle Nojiri, please believe me, this is absolutely true."

"In fact, the Sichuan Army believes that there is no need for us to fight, and we can even do business together."

Hearing this, Major Nojiri became interested.

Osaka businessmen are not interested in anything else, but they are definitely very interested in doing business.

"Doing business together? I'll consider it." Major Nojiri said as he opened the box. He saw that it was filled with US dollars, which immediately blinded his eyes.

　and also!
