    As time goes by, the rainy season in Indochina gradually ends, and the climate becomes drier.  However, the clouds of war hanging over Siam are getting thicker and thicker.  Several divisions of squadrons have already appeared on the Siam border.  The Gulf of Siam has also been blocked by warships of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet.  China's attack on Siam is imminent!

    King Chulalongkorn of Siam delivered a speech to the people of the country on August 15.  He claimed that Siam was a great country and the process by which the Bangkok Dynasty gained power was legal.  King Rama I was not the murderer of Taksin. Everything was China's slander of Siam and the result of China's incursion into Siam.  Chulalongkorn called on all Siamese people to unite and prepare for Chinese invasion.  He clamored crazily that as long as China dared to invade Siam, the eight million Siamese would be China's enemies, and China would shed all its blood in Siam.

    Many Siamese people were inspired to fanaticism.  They frantically want to sign up to join the army, but Siam's regular army no longer recruits soldiers. The millions of regular soldiers are no longer something Siam can afford.  In addition, there are not enough weapons and equipment, so it is useless to recruit more troops.  However, the Siamese government came forward and organized these Siamese who actively joined the army into various militias and called on them to defend their homes and country. Once China invaded, they used various weapons to attack China.  The * team launched an attack to let the Chinese know how powerful Siam was.

    British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour also made a public speech, claiming that this was an invasion of a sovereign country by China.  Greedy and evil Chinese.  They are not satisfied with their current territory.  They want to expand their territory as much as possible.  This kind of greed of the Chinese people.  Sooner or later it will pose a threat to the whole world.  He called on the civilized world to unite, put aside current prejudices, and work together to resist China.

    Other member states of the Allied Powers have also issued similar statements.  China's image among the citizens of these countries has once again been tarnished.  In the minds of those ignorant citizens, China has become a truly evil country.  However, among the members of the Allied Powers, it was a different story.  An act of war initiated by China against Siam.  It is said to be the king's revenge. After two hundred years, the descendants of the king who was killed by the traitor launched a war of revenge against the despicable enemy.  This is allowed in Europe.  In the European Middle Ages, such revenge wars were very common.

    Any comments from the outside world will not have any impact on China.  China's military preparations are still gradually unfolding according to plan.  By order of the General Staff.  The 31st Division, the 22nd Division and the 53rd Division.  The designated location has been reached.  The 15th Division and the 2nd Marine Division directly under the General Staff Headquarters have boarded the transport ship and began to march towards the Gulf of Siam.  The Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet will dispatch a support fleet consisting of the battleships 'Qin Shihuang', 'Prince Fusu' battleship and 'Wang Ben' battlecruiser to provide fire support for the landing in Bangkok Bay.  The powerful firepower of two battleships and a battlecruiser was enough to destroy all artillery in Siam.  As for Siam's weak navy, there are only a few old light cruisers, and they are now blocked in the Bay of Bangkok.  After the war begins, the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet will first deal with them.

    On the morning of September 11, 1901, the Chinese General Staff issued an order to march on Siam to all frontline departments.  In the Gulf of Siam, two heavy cruisers and five light cruisers of the Indian Ocean Fleet launched an attack on the Siamese Navy.  The few outdated light cruisers of the Siamese Navy launched a desperate struggle.  However, in the face of the huge gap, the courage of the Siamese people had no effect at all.  In less than an hour, the Siamese navy was completely annihilated.  Afterwards, two battleships and a battlecruiser of the Indian Ocean Fleet entered the Bay of Bangkok and launched an attack on Bantha Ro, a small town on the coast of the Bay of Bangkok.  This is where the 2nd Marine Division and the 15th Army Division will land.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Two battleships, a battlecruiser, and two heavy cruisers of the Indian Ocean Fleet hit the ship horizontally less than 7 kilometers away from Bantaro and aimed their sides at the shore.  , launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the Siamese army's positions.  The high-explosive bomb, weighing more than 380 kilograms, cut through the air under the influence of huge kinetic energy, made a sharp whistle, and slammed into the Siamese army's position.

    In order to prepare for the landing of the Chinese troops, the Siamese army deployed a large number of troops along the Gulf of Siam.  And most of them are elite troops.  The 5th and 11th Divisions of the Siamese Army were stationed in Ban Tha Ro, two divisions with a total of more than 25,000 people.  However, even Siam's so-called elite army still looks so weak in front of the battle-hardened Chinese troops.  Siamese ArmyFor ?years, there has been no war at all.  The tactics they followed were also the tactics they used when fighting the colonial armies of Britain and France more than ten or twenty years ago.  Even though the Siam Army sent many foreign students to Britain and France to learn advanced tactics, they only learned a little bit.

    The fortifications of the Siamese army in Bantaro are nothing more than simple civil fortifications.  No reinforced concrete was used for pouring at all.  The consequences of such fortifications in the face of the powerful naval guns of the Chinese Navy can be imagined.

    "Boom! Boom!" Each high-explosive shell fired by the 305mm naval gun can create a large crater with a diameter of dozens of meters on the ground. All buildings within a radius of 100 meters will be flattened.  It is possible to see a living creature within this range.

    "Lord Buddha bless you!" A Siamese soldier was praying devoutly to Lord Buddha, hoping to survive the cruel war.  However, the next second, a 305mm naval gun shell exploded more than thirty meters in front of him.  The shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell directly tore the soldier's frail body into pieces.  His prayers to the Lord Buddha had no effect at all.

    Siam is a Buddhist country, and almost all its citizens believe in Buddhism.  However, when faced with the indiscriminate bombing by the Chinese navy, the prayers of these Buddhists had no effect at all.

    In a half-hour-long shelling, the entire Bantaloo was reduced to rubble.  The Siamese army's defense line was blown to pieces.  The two divisions of Siamese troops defending here also suffered heavy casualties.  Nearly half of the people were killed or injured during the shelling, and the morale of the remaining people was also greatly affected.  In the eyes of these Siamese soldiers, the Chinese Army has become synonymous with devil.  Aren't those bursts of exploding orange-red flames the devil spewing out bursts of flame?  Many Siamese soldiers collapsed.  They threw away their weapons, turned around and fled, ignoring the officers' scoldings and the like.  Nothing is as important as saving your own life.

    At 9:30 am, after the Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet cleared the obstacles, the 2nd Marine Division launched a landing on Bantaloo.  A battalion of troops took small landing craft and launched a beach landing.  Several destroyers even moved less than a kilometer away from the coast to provide fire cover for the Marine Corps soldiers at close range.

    The commander of the Siamese army, the commander of the 5th Siam Army Division, ordered the Siamese army to counterattack.  Thousands of Siamese troops plucked up the courage to attack the Chinese Marines who had just landed on the beach.  However, they were met with truly ferocious machine gun bullets and artillery shells.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" After landing on the beach, the Marine Corps' light and heavy machine guns were all set up, and they fired fiercely at the Siamese troops who launched a counterattack.  The fleet on the sea also launched fire suppression against these Siamese troops.  The entire beach turned into hell in an instant.  Countless Siamese soldiers fell on the charging road, their limbs and arms scattered on the ground, and their blood almost dyed the entire beach red.

    After easily crushing the Siamese army's counterattack, the large forces of the 2nd Marine Division began to land.  When a regiment of troops landed ashore, they immediately launched an attack on Bantalo City under the cover of firepower from the naval fleet.  The two divisions of the Siamese Army guarding here have already suffered heavy losses.  After barely resisting for a while, they retreated to Bangkok.  The Chinese *** team captured Bantaloo with less than a few dozen casualties.  Moreover, it caused nearly 20,000 casualties to the Siamese army.

    At the same time, the three infantry divisions of the Ninth Army also launched an attack on Siam.  The 31st Division crossed the border between Khmer and Siam and invaded Prachinburi.  The Siamese army was easily defeated and was unable to withstand the attack of the 31st Division.  The 53rd Division also invaded Siam from Khmer and approached Bangkok along the coastline.  Moreover, they received fire support from two light cruisers of the Navy, which made their progress even faster.  In the west, the 22nd Division invaded Kanchanaburi from Myanmar, defeated the defenders of three divisions of the Siamese army, and quickly marched towards Bangkok.

    Although the Siamese Army has deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in the border areas, these troops are basically newly formed recruits, and many of them do not even have rifles.  After a fierce bombardment by the Chinese ** team, these Siamese troops were immediately frightened.  As long as they launch a charge, they can be easily defeated.

    The combat effectiveness of the Siamese Army completely exceeded the imagination of the Chinese General Staff.  Perhaps, Southeast Asians are inherently not suitable to be soldiers!  The General Staff immediately issued an order to march to Bangkok.  Request all ministries to capture Bangkok within a week!  (To be continued)
