Chapter 884 Decapitation Operation (Fourth update, please subscribe)

Regardless of how intense the bombing was, it continued with no signs of stopping.

As the military strongholds outside the city were being destroyed, Panongrong, who was in the underground bunker of the People's Palace, listened to the explosions in the distance with a serious expression.

The explosion was very slight, so slight that it was almost hard to hear. Not only was it too far away, but the six-meter-thick soil and reinforced concrete above his head isolated the outside sounds. For Panongrong, who was in the bunker, he was undoubtedly safe, but he was anxious in his heart.

"We can't go on like this. If they keep bombing like this, the army will sooner or later turn against us!"

In fact, Panongrong knew better than anyone how... shaky the foundation of his rule was.

Although he had come to power with the support of Free Siam ten years earlier, the last Allied troops did not withdraw until the end of 1948, and only then was he able to let go and do something.

In the following years, he tried his best to eliminate dissidents. From the government to the military, there were too many spies. He gained control of the military power by introducing a large number of military advisers, and then was able to carry out social reforms.

In the past few years, everything he did caused dissatisfaction among many people, especially among many old officers in the army.

Are there any hidden spies among them? Are there any who are dissatisfied with him?
Perhaps only Buddha knew, but deep down, Panongrong had extremely little trust in the military - he came to power through a military coup.

Since he could come to power through a military coup, others could follow his example.

This kind of thing is almost inevitable, and for this reason, in the past few years, he has been doing everything he can to suppress the army and make full use of the role of Soviet advisers in order to reduce the influence of those officers.

Those people must be dissatisfied. They didn’t have opportunities in the past, but now that they have them, will they miss them?

"Hydra..."

When he said this name, the memories buried deep in Panongrong's heart were awakened once again!
"Damn it, how could it be Hydra? Who are they? Who are they?"

What people fear most is the unknown!
What is the thing that worries Panongrong the most?
It was the Hydra that appeared so briefly back then. It was as if they had never existed. They appeared and then disappeared.

Who are they and what are they?

For the past decade, Panongrong has been exploring this issue. He even instructed intelligence agencies to investigate, but nothing was found.

It’s like they never existed, but they do exist!

Without them, that night ten years ago would not have gone so smoothly.

“Could it be that Hydra is Nanyang?”

When this thought came to Panongrong's mind, he couldn't figure out the relationship between Nanyang and Hydra.

"If Hydra is from Southeast Asia, why haven't they tried to exert influence over the past decade?"

Although Panongrong knew that he could only entrust Xushe to him for a few years like he did with the Allied Forces, the reality that the other party just disappeared was as if it had never existed.

This made him unable to understand.

If you can’t figure out something, don’t think about it.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, we will mobilize the entire population of Bangkok to hold a massive protest."

Panongrong then shook his head and said.

"No, today, after the bombing is over, we must prove to the world the will and determination of the Siamese people and tell them that the Siamese people cannot be defeated!"

Then Panongrong once again leaned over the desk, in this office that was exactly the same as the one on the ground, to conceive today's speech.

He had to use a passionate speech to prove to the world that people's will could not be crushed and they were not afraid of death. Only in this way could he awaken the people of the world to protest against the invaders.

At the same time, a small group of 12 bombers appeared in the northwest of the city.

As the aircraft approached the target airspace, the navigator immediately issued instructions.

"We have arrived at the bombing position."

"Roger that! Start autopilot."

The captain immediately turned on the autopilot, and the commander in the middle of the cabin immediately received the signal - a picture appeared on the screen in front of him. Although the picture was a bit blurry, after careful comparison, it could be seen that it was the target airspace.

The European-style building in the center of the screen is particularly eye-catching among the green space.

"The Prime Minister's Office, um... the People's Palace, is right here!"

That's their goal.

"Get ready to drop the bomb!"

The specially modified bomber does not have a bomb bay but carries a giant Thor glide bomb under the belly. However, the bomb itself is too heavy and can only be mounted semi-buried, so a large part of the bomb body is exposed.

It was modified from the American T10 bomb during World War II, and the T10 bomb is the American version of the famous Tallboy bomb. In fact, the US military also used it to modify a batch of guided bombs - Tassoon guided bombs, and used them on the battlefield of the peninsula. Its total weight is 5.9 tons, of which the warhead weighs 2.4 tons, and it has very powerful power.

To a certain extent, the Tassoon guided bomb can be seen as the American "Fritz X", except that it is larger, stronger, and... less reliable. Sometimes the bomb explodes before it is even dropped, so it has been eliminated by the US military.

Nanyang not only developed the Thor glide bomb based on the "Fritz X", but also made in-depth improvements on it. The biggest difference from the Thor glide bomb that relies on radio command control is that it has a TV camera and transmitter installed in the modification kit, making it an early TV-guided bomb. The shot video is wirelessly transmitted to the rear equipment, and the bombardier remotely controls the bomb according to the video screen, so the bomb's accuracy is very high.

Although TV guidance is easily affected by weather, smoke and other factors, the weather was good today and the target was clearly visible. Twelve B29 bombers carrying giant guided bombs launched an attack 18 kilometers away from the target. In the first attack, they dropped two bombs. As soon as the six-meter-long giant bomb was dropped, the folding wings opened and it flew towards the target like a small plane.

The bombardier, or controller, constantly adjusts the crosshairs to aim them at the target using the images provided by the television camera.

The bomb weighing nearly six tons was dropped from an altitude of 9000 meters. Under the influence of gravity, it quickly broke the sound barrier as it approached the target. With a thunderous roar, the entire city was shocked.

The anti-aircraft gunners on the People's Palace Green were all dumbfounded. They almost watched helplessly as two objects that looked like airplanes came crashing down with a deafening roar...

Finally, a bomb accurately hit the green area of ​​the People's Palace and penetrated deep into the earth thirty meters away from the main building, but it did not explode immediately. Just when people were still stunned and had not yet reacted, suddenly, a violent explosion awakened the sleeping earth - in an instant, the earth turned into an ocean, and the earth undulated like an earthquake. As the European-style building shook violently, another bomb fell from the sky and hit the building directly. The bomb went straight through the thick walls, floor slabs, and marble floors and smashed into the underground bunker.

At this time, the underground fortress had just experienced the previous earthquake, and those who were knocked down by the earthquake welcomed the final doomsday in shock.

At least, at the last moment, Panongrong, who fell to the ground, asked a question.

"What's wrong? Was it an earthquake?"

Actually, there has never been an earthquake in Siam, but…it’s just an earthquake.

The bomb exploded again. Although it could be clearly seen from the air using a high-power telescope that the target had basically collapsed, the bombing did not stop. After the two B29 bombers that completed the first round of bombing left, two more dropped bombs.

At this time, the twelve B29 bombers in the sky, like basketball shooters, accurately dropped giant guided bombs into the basket. The twelve bombs weighing nearly six tons not only destroyed the European-style building, but also left several lakes on the green land...

Is the bombing over?

The bombing continued, and the Ministry of Defense and communication facilities such as the telegraph center in Bangkok also suffered devastating damage.

Although the bombing continued, a shocking piece of news soon spread - the Chairman was dead!
