I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner
Chapter 80: Malay Peninsula Campaign (End)
The remaining eighteen 914mm mortars continued bombing for more than ten hours in a day.
The rest of the time is spent maintaining and servicing these massive weapons.
This means that each mortar fired an average of at least thirty shells per day.
With a total of 18 mortars, the countries of Jili and Lanxi had to withstand hundreds of such powerful artillery shells every day.
In addition, there were constant attacks from fighters and bombers in the air, accompanied by heavy bombardment from 105mm and 155mm howitzers.
By now the artillery positions of both countries had been almost completely destroyed, and several of their regular divisions had suffered heavy casualties.
As for their vassal troops, they lost their way in the battle with the militia and could not find a way out.
The Minister of War carefully studied the battle reports and knew that it was time to launch the final offensive and seize the Malay Peninsula in one fell swoop.
He immediately sent a telegram instructing six defense divisions to advance across the entire Malay Peninsula, with fifty militia regiments providing flank support.
As a result, six divisions were assembled closely, hundreds of tanks went to the front line, followed by a large number of infantry.
The Jili and Lanxi countries were terrified by the steel torrent that was advancing from the Yan country.
Their defensive positions had been destroyed and shattered, making it impossible for them to mount an effective resistance.
The Yan Country's rocket launchers made them even more frightened, because this type of weapon has not yet appeared in other countries, and they did not expect it to be so powerful.
Faced with the fierce attack from Yan State, Jili State and Lanxi State could only fight and retreat.
As for the vassal troops, a large number of them surrendered to the militia.
The war lasted for half a month, and Jili and Lanxi suffered heavy blows.
Since they only deployed second-line troops here, plus those cannon fodder-like vassal troops, their strength is far inferior to that of Yan State.
Eventually, they had to retreat back to Siam.
After reaching this position, the Yan State troops stopped pursuing.
Because their strategic goal has been achieved - occupying the entire Malay Peninsula.
Siam was not colonized by Khiri Khan and Lansi Khan, but was forced to cede part of its territory to these two countries in order to avoid becoming a colony.
However, when the King of Siam learned that Yan State had stopped attacking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he knew very well that even facing two powerful powers, Yan Kingdom could still defeat them easily.
If Yan State continues to attack, Siam will be unable to fight back and will have no choice but to give up resistance.
In addition, the use of rocket launchers in this war attracted the attention of various countries, and they deeply realized the powerful power of this weapon.
Many countries have requested to purchase finished rocket launchers from Yan State, but Yan State has made it clear that it will not sell these weapons.
At the same time, the Yan State military also has very strict management of rocket launchers, prohibiting them from entering the market or falling into the hands of other countries.
In desperation, countries can only begin to research and develop similar weapons technologies on their own to meet possible future war challenges.
At this time, the losses of both sides were also counted.
The regular armies of Jili and Lanxi suffered about casualties and about captured.
The vassal army suffered about 8000 casualties and about captured.
In addition, they lost dozens of tanks and armored vehicles and over a hundred fighter jets.
The entire Malacca Strait Fleet of the Kingdom of Jili was destroyed, including two cruisers.
At the same time, the casualties on the Yan State side were relatively light.
Its regular army suffered about 4300 casualties and its militia suffered about 1600 casualties.
In terms of weapons and equipment, Yan State lost more than 20 fighter jets and bombers.
At the same time, a frigate was lost and a destroyer was severely damaged.
Such a victory is very huge. If the two countries want to redeem their soldiers, Yan State will definitely agree.
But if they were unwilling to redeem themselves, the prisoners would have no choice but to build the railway.
At the same time, the scene switched to the Yanwu Palace in Fenglin City of Yan Country. Army Minister Chen Yixin was standing in his office reporting to the emperor: "Your Majesty, our army has successfully occupied the Malay Peninsula, which means we have completely controlled the Strait of Malacca."
Qin Ruihua smiled and replied: "Yes, it is indeed easy for us to occupy the Malay Peninsula and control the Strait of Malacca."
"But the next challenge we face is a battle with the combined fleet of the three countries."
"This naval battle will be the battle for the founding of our Yan country. Only by defeating them can we win the respect and recognition of the international community."
Chen Yixin nodded in agreement and added, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."
"However, how to deal with this naval battle will depend on the strategic deployment of the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Air Force."
"After all, our Army cannot intervene in this matter."
Qin Ruihua pondered for a moment and then said, "Well, I understand."
"I hope our navy and air force can work closely together to develop an effective strategic plan."
“At the same time, we must strengthen intelligence gathering to understand the enemy’s movements and weaknesses.”
He turned to look at Chen Yixin and continued to ask: "So, is there anything the Army needs to cooperate with?"
Chen Yixin quickly replied: "At present, the army has no special needs."
"But we will remain on high alert and be ready to respond to any situation that may arise."
"In addition, we will continue to strengthen training and equipment updates to ensure the improvement of combat effectiveness."
Qin Ruihua nodded with satisfaction and expressed his appreciation: "Very good!"
Army Minister Chen Yixin said at this time: "Your Majesty, since we have fallen out with the three countries, do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Kalimantan Island?"
Qin Ruihua shook his head: "Not for the time being, we need to stabilize the territory we just occupied first, the last time we occupied Java Island."
"The occupation of the Malay Peninsula increased the population by more than 10 million people."
"Our country's population is only over 20 million. It's not a good thing to swallow too much at once."
"Take your time. Sooner or later, this will be our territory."
He is well aware that more haste makes waste, and that if things are done too hastily, a series of problems may arise.
Army Minister Chen Yixin nodded to show his understanding and agreement.
They understand that while territorial expansion is important, what is more critical is to ensure national stability and development.
Only in this way can we better achieve national prosperity.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." Army Minister Chen Yixin saluted Qin Ruihua and slowly left the room.
It was at this time that prisoners from the countries of Jili and Lanxi began to be sent to build railways or mine.
The prisoners were very dissatisfied with the food in front of them, but the vassal troops were satisfied with it.
In their eyes, being able to have such food is already pretty good.
To ensure that the captives had enough physical strength, they were fed well every day.
Although there are only some vegetarian dishes with a small amount of oil, and meat can only be eaten once a week at most.
However, the soldiers from Jili and Lanxi had no interest in these meals and felt that they deserved better treatment.
They complained, “Where is our milk, bread and coffee?”
"Even if there's none of that, there should at least be eggs!"
"What you feed us is nothing but pig food!"
"You are abusing the prisoners. When we return, we will definitely sue you in the International Court of Justice!"
Their attitude was very arrogant and they seemed to have forgotten their identity.
At this time, a soldier strode over with indifference and disdain on his face, and kicked the prisoners.
He kept muttering, "These are the only meals you can eat or not. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry."
Faced with such attitude and treatment, the prisoners were filled with grievance and anger.
In reality, the captives did not really understand their situation.
"It's up to you. Eat your fill quickly and then get back to work. If you dare to cheat or slack off, you will be severely punished!"
The prisoners remained silent, knowing that resistance would only bring more pain and torture.
So they silently picked up the food and started eating. Even though the food was not delicious, they had no choice in order to survive.
After dinner, the prisoners were taken to the labor site and began their day's work.
They were forced to perform a variety of manual labor, from digging ditches to carrying heavy objects, and each task required tremendous effort.
