Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

While preparing for support, Terauchi Juichi was also closely following the situation on the Siam battlefield.

The Free Army's offensive momentum became increasingly fierce, and the Siamese army was defeated and had lost several important cities.

"Speed ​​up the action!" Terauchi Hisaichi kept urging.

Finally, the Japanese troops supporting Siam assembled and set out on the journey to Siam.

Japanese transport planes roared through the sky, loaded with soldiers and weapons and equipment.

Ground troops marched quickly along the road, raising clouds of dust.

When the support troops arrived in Siam, the scenes on the battlefield shocked the Japanese soldiers.

The city of Siam was in ruins, with broken buildings and corpses strewn across the streets.

The morale of the Siamese army was low, and the soldiers fled in all directions, completely losing the will to resist.

The Japanese commanders quickly made contact with Siamese forces and tried to reorganize the defense line.

However, the Free Army's attack did not give them much time.

When the Free Army learned that the Japanese army supported Siam, they did not retreat, but instead increased their offensive efforts.

They took advantage of the terrain and launched flexible guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army.

During the day, they hid in the mountains and forests and attacked the Japanese army's transportation lines; at night, they launched surprise attacks, catching the Japanese army off guard.

Although the Japanese army was well-equipped, they were still caught in a tough battle in the face of such complex terrain and flexible tactics.

The two sides fought fiercely on the land of Siam, and every inch of land was soaked in blood.

At the command center, Hisaichi Terauchi kept abreast of the battle situation at the front through telegrams and telephone calls.

The stalemate in the battle made him anxious, and he kept adjusting his combat deployment in an attempt to break the deadlock.

"We must defend Siam! At any cost!" Terauchi Juichi roared at the front-line commander on the phone.

As the battle continued, both sides paid a heavy price.

Although the Japanese army temporarily stabilized its defense line, it was unable to achieve a decisive victory.

The Freedom Army maintained pressure on the Japanese army with its tenacious fighting will and flexible tactics.

At this moment, Lu Yuhua was standing in front of the map of the command center, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing solemnity and determination.

The situation on the Siamese battlefield changed dramatically.

The Japanese army began to reinforce Siam, and batch after batch of Japanese troops, carrying weapons and equipment, quickly arrived in Siam.

Those Japanese soldiers, armed with live ammunition, marched in neat steps on the land of Siam, raising clouds of dust, as if they wanted to completely conquer this land.

Lu Yuhua knew very well that under such circumstances, it had become an almost impossible task for the Free Army to take over Siam in a short period of time.

In every attack, the Free Army will face fierce resistance from the Japanese reinforcements, which will not only cause a large number of casualties, but may also lead to a stalemate in the entire battle situation, or even be disadvantageous to the Free Army.

He paced back and forth in the command center, constantly thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

Suddenly, he stopped, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and a new strategic idea gradually took shape in his mind.

Lu Yuhua decided to change his combat strategy. He wanted the Free Army to maintain its current offensive in Siam.

This is not a meaningless attack, but a strategic containment.

He ordered the generals of the Free Army to continue attacking the Japanese army on various battlefields in Siam.

Although a large-scale, all-out advance was not necessary, the Japanese army had to be kept in a state of tense defense at all times, making it impossible to withdraw all reinforcements.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Free Army once again plunged into fierce battle.

They moved through the jungles of Siam, taking advantage of familiar terrain to launch surprise attacks on Japanese troops.

The sound of gunfire continued to ring out, and flames flickered in the jungle. Every exchange of fire made the Japanese army feel the tenacious resistance of the Free Army.

At the same time, Lu Yuhua turned his attention to Qiongzhou.

He was well aware of the importance of Qiongzhou's strategic location. Once Qiongzhou was captured, it would not only greatly boost the morale of the Free Army, but also occupy a more advantageous position in the strategic layout.

So he quickly issued orders to the Guangxi Security Corps, asking them to launch an attack on Qiongzhou.

After receiving the order, the Guangxi Security Corps took quick action.

They carried out intensive pre-war preparations. The soldiers wiped their weapons and checked their equipment. Everyone knew that this would be a tough battle.

For the main attack mission, Lu Yuhua handed the important task to Li Dabenshi.

Li Dabenshi, the commander of the 1st Marine Regiment, who was generous and brave in combat, felt his heart beating faster and his eyes flashed with excitement the moment he received the order.

He shouted in his heart: "Finally I have waited for this opportunity to really show my talents!"

But in addition to the excitement, a trace of worry also quietly crept into his heart, "There are too many variables in landing operations. The safety of my brothers depends on me. There must not be any mistakes!" But he quickly adjusted his mentality and secretly vowed to lead his brothers to complete the mission.

Li Dabenshi immediately began to prepare for the landing in Qiongzhou.

Under his leadership, the soldiers of the 1st Marine Regiment conducted high-intensity landing combat training.

The soldiers seemed to be training hard on the surface, but they had mixed feelings inside.

The young recruit Xiao Wang held his gun tightly in his hand. The upcoming battle scene kept appearing in his mind. His palms were sweaty with nervousness. "Will I be able to do it when I'm really on the battlefield? What if I get scared and hold everyone back?"

The veteran soldier Lao Zhang had a calm expression, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes. "I have fought in wars for so many years and have seen all kinds of scenes. I am sure we can complete the mission smoothly this time and let the Japanese see how powerful we are!"

As time went by, the day of attack finally arrived.

On a dark night, Li Dabenshi led the 1st Marine Regiment, riding on landing craft, and headed towards Qiongzhou.

On the sea, the waves were rising and falling, and the landing craft was bumping forward in the waves. The soldiers held on to the hull tightly, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.

As the landing craft gradually approached the coastline of Qiongzhou, the enemy's searchlights suddenly lit up, and the strong light illuminated the sea.

Then, gunshots rang out and the enemy began to fire fiercely. Li Daben shouted, "Brothers, charge!" and jumped off the landing craft first, rushing towards the beach.

The soldiers followed one after another, and they bravely moved forward under the enemy's hail of bullets.

The bullet whizzed past my ear and the splashing sea water hit my face, freezing cold.

Xiao Wang was extremely frightened, but seeing that his comrades around him did not retreat, he gritted his teeth, gripped his gun tightly, and rushed forward.

Suddenly, his comrade Xiao Li was unfortunately shot and fell into the sea. His blood instantly dyed the surrounding sea red.

Xiao Wang's eyes turned red as anger and grief surged in his heart, making him temporarily forget his fear and charge forward desperately.

In the fierce firefight, the 1st Marine Regiment finally successfully landed on the beach.

However, the enemy did not give up resistance. Relying on their strong fortifications, they continued to launch counterattacks against the Free Army.

Bullets rained down like raindrops, and the sandbags were riddled with holes. The Free Army soldiers could only fight back with the help of simple shelters.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, the pungent smell of gunpowder made it hard to breathe, and the shouts and sounds of gunfire were deafening.

Inside the Japanese headquarters, the lights were dim and flickering, and the staff officers were busy dealing with daily affairs. The atmosphere was serious but orderly.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the seemingly calm rhythm, and a communications soldier rushed into the headquarters in a panic, holding tightly in his hand the intelligence that had just been intercepted.

"Report!" The signalman's voice trembled slightly due to nervousness, and the eyes of the entire command center were instantly focused on him.

Commander Major General Taiji Ota frowned, and an ominous premonition came over him.

He strode forward, snatched the intelligence from the signalman, and with just a glance, a hint of shock flashed across his originally cold face, and the information in his hand trembled unconsciously.

"The Chinese army has begun to land in Qiongzhou?" Major General Taiji Ota murmured to himself. Although his voice was not loud, it was particularly clear in this quiet command center.

When the staff officers around heard these words, they were all stunned, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

After a brief silence, the entire command center exploded in an instant like a lit powder keg.

"How is this possible? How did they break through our defense?" A young staff officer couldn't help but shout out, his face full of confusion and surprise.

"Is the intelligence accurate? Could it be fake news?" another staff officer questioned, but there was also a hint of panic in his voice that was hard to conceal.

Major General Taiji Ota took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that at this critical moment, as a commander, he had to remain calm.

He quickly glanced at the staff officers around him and said loudly, "Whether the intelligence is accurate or not, we cannot take it lightly. Verify the intelligence immediately and notify all troops to enter the first level alert state!"

The staff officers received the order and began to get busy.

The personnel of the intelligence department were frantically collecting various information, trying to further confirm the specific circumstances of the Chinese army's landing; the signalmen were busy conveying orders to various troops to enter a state of alert. For a time, the sounds of telephone ringing, footsteps, and shouts were intertwined in the command center.

At the same time, various Japanese troops also received orders.

When the soldiers who were training in the camp heard the alarm, they quickly put down their training equipment, picked up their weapons, and assembled according to the predetermined plan.

The officers shouted commands loudly to maintain order in the team, but a hint of tension and uneasiness could be seen in their eyes.

At the Japanese front line, soldiers entered the trenches one after another, their eyes fixed on the sea.

They held their weapons tightly in their hands, their fingers on the triggers, ready to deal with any possible enemies at any time.

The sea breeze whistled by, carrying the salty smell of the sea water and a hint of unknown fear. The soldiers' faces were full of solemnity, as they knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

In the meeting room of senior Japanese generals, the atmosphere was equally solemn.

Major General Taiji Ota and several other senior generals sat around the conference table, and everyone looked very ugly.

"According to the latest intelligence, the Chinese army has successfully landed at multiple locations in Qiongzhou and is advancing inland. Their troop strength and equipment are currently unclear, but judging from the scale of the landing, it is definitely not a small force." An intelligence officer stood in front of the map, reporting the latest situation to everyone.

Major General Taiji Ota looked at the map with a frown.

He knew very well that Qiongzhou was of vital importance to the Japanese army, and once it was lost, it would have a major impact on the entire war situation.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "We must immediately organize reinforcements and counterattacks. We cannot let the Chinese army gain a foothold in Qiongzhou. What suggestions do you have?"

A burly general stood up and said, "I suggest that we immediately mobilize troops from surrounding areas to encircle the landing Chinese troops. At the same time, we should dispatch our air force and navy to attack their landing troops and cut off their supply lines."

"Although this plan seems feasible, the military forces in the surrounding areas are not sufficient. After the troops are withdrawn, the defense of other areas may have loopholes. Moreover, since the Chinese army dares to land at this time, they must be prepared to deal with our air and sea attacks." Another general expressed a different opinion.

The conference room immediately fell into a debate, with each general expressing his or her own opinion and refusing to give in to the other.

Major General Taiji Ota listened quietly to the debate among the crowd, weighing the pros and cons of various options in his mind.

He knew that this was a difficult decision and if a wrong decision was made, it would cause huge losses to the Japanese army.

After a heated discussion, Major General Taiji Ota finally made the decision.

He looked at the crowd and said firmly: "On the one hand, we will draw two regiments of troops from nearby strongholds and quickly assemble in Qiongzhou to counterattack the landing Chinese troops; on the other hand, we will order the Air Force and Navy to be ready for battle and strike the Chinese troops at any time. At the same time, we will strengthen the defense of other areas to prevent the Chinese troops from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west."

The generals nodded in agreement. Afterwards, Major General Taiji Ota made detailed arrangements for the tasks of each unit to ensure that every step was foolproof.

After the meeting, the generals quickly left the conference room and returned to their respective troops to prepare for combat missions.

In the next few days, Japanese reinforcements arrived in Qiongzhou one after another.

Under the leadership of their commander, they quickly advanced towards the landing site of the Chinese army.

At the same time, the Japanese air force and navy also began to take action.

Planes continued to take off from the airport and bomb the Chinese army's landing troops and supply lines; warships cruised on the sea, supporting the ground forces' offensive with artillery fire.

The Guangxi Security Corps did not retreat at all in the face of the Japanese reinforcements and counterattacks.

Relying on their tenacious fighting will and excellent tactics, they fought fiercely with the Japanese army.

As the fighting escalated, both sides paid a heavy price.

The battlefield was littered with corpses and the ground was dyed red with blood.

However, the Japanese did not give up the counterattack because of the heavy losses. They continued to adjust their tactics and tried to destroy the landing Chinese troops. (End of this chapter)
