When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the land of South Vietnam, the battle of last night had subsided, and Xu Ting suddenly felt a sense of weakness when he looked at the smoke of artillery fire that was still rolling in front of him, as well as the corpses and wounded all over the ground. Suruna led his men to chase down, and there were not many of his men, cooperating with the counterattack of the first army. However, the effect should not be too good, because before dawn, the Dragon King Sect had already evacuated the rebels. It is said that this attack on Phnom Penh has brought Xu Ting many unexpected shocks, and I believe that the upper echelons of the Northeast will also be aware of it.

The Dragon King Sect is definitely not a simple local rebel force, otherwise how could Cambodia, which has just been calm for less than half a year, have an army that can control artillery. In this attack, the main focus of the Dragon King Sect's attack was on the artillery regiment. Relatively speaking, although the position of the infantry regiment with more Han soldiers was also attacked by the Dragon King Sect, the intensity was far less fierce than that encountered by the artillery regiment. But even so, he didn't dare to let the commander of the regiment counterattack, or outflank the enemy's rear. The reason for this is very simple, night battles, plus field battles, are simply not something that this division that has been in place for several months can accomplish. Anyway, Xu Ting also wants to open it, as long as Phnom Penh is in his hands, Cambodia will have no big problems. But once he was greedy for merit and recklessly played field battles with the local natives of the Dragon King Sect, most of the people who died.

As he was directing his subordinates to treat the wounded and burn and bury the corpses, the Khmer soldiers under his command ran over and saluted: "Commander, the monks of the nearby Buddhist temple hope to come and help us collect the corpses, what do you mean?" ”

Cambodia is originally a prosperous place for Mahayana Buddhism, and there are many Buddhist temples around Phnom Penh, since these monks are willing to come out to help, Xu Ting is not too repulsed, but said: "Yes, but you have to tell them the correct way to dispose of the corpse, don't be careless, it will be troublesome to cause a large-scale epidemic." ”

The corpses of the soldiers of the insurance team are disposed of by a special person, and there is no need to trouble those monks, and as for the aftermath, there is also a special person who is responsible for the future. This is the tradition of the Northeast Insurance Team, although Xu Ting's division has not been established for a long time, but these rules are still inherited from the local division.

After a while, Suruna returned with his people, and seeing his dejected appearance, he also knew that the results of the battle were not ideal.

"How? Didn't catch up? Xu Ting didn't complain about Suruna.

"At dawn, we chased after it, and the Dragon King Sect has already run away, so I don't know if the airship can gain anything......"

The battle was aggrieved, and no one was in a good mood, Xu Ting also guessed the result, so he just nodded, and finally comforted: "Let's do our best, after all, the division has just been formed, and the rest will be left until the summary meeting in the evening." ”

"Yes! Teachers! ”

After the matter was dealt with here, Xu Ting came to Shen Yazhi's residence. Shen Yazhi didn't sleep all night last night, and now she is a little unenergetic, but when she saw Xu Ting coming to see her, she still showed a smile in her tired face.

"Senior Commander Xu, thanks to your good command last night, you were able to guarantee the safety of the border."

Xu Ting's old face flushed, glanced at Shen Baiyu who was accompanying him, and nodded politely.

"Don't dare to be! It's a shame to say that if Miss Shen hadn't come to the rescue in time and let the guards rush to the position of the artillery regiment, make up for the lack at that time and suppress the chaos, the consequences would have been really unimaginable. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Shen Yazhi didn't take credit, because it was not necessary. "I wonder what's going on out there now?"

"The people of the Dragon King Sect have retreated, and now there is an air force in charge of reconnaissance around. Originally, our air force airships were insufficient in number, but just an hour ago, the South Vietnamese airships arrived in time, allowing us to turn the tide of the war. The only pity is that due to the hesitation of his subordinates, our troops did not launch a counterattack in time, which allowed the people of the Dragon King Sect to escape, and asked the young lady to punish the crime. ”

"It's no wonder that you, we're new to the city, and we're not popular with the people. It was also Wang Yi who was careless and unprepared, and transferred Taituo's troops from Southeast Asia for the sake of Africa, otherwise others would not have a chance. ”

Although he said this, he Xu Ting did not dare. Maybe in front of Wang Yi, he was bolder, but facing Shen Yazhi, there was no need for this. So Xu Ting just laughed dryly and said: "This battle is quite strange, it stands to reason that we have just assessed Cambodia not long ago, even if there is a cause of floods, but this army appeared too suddenly." And last night they launched an artillery attack on our artillery positions, although the details are not clear, but the training of artillery is not something that can be completed overnight. We occupy the local forces, as well as the local logistics, and the artillery training has not been completed, and these so-called Dragon King disciples naturally cannot have better conditions than us. Then their origin is very suspicious, I'm afraid it's not just the Dragon King Sect. ”

"Master Xu is right, the Intelligence Bureau has begun to intervene in the investigation, but I also want to tell you a new piece of news."

Shen Yazhi frowned, and so did Shen Baiyu on the side. Although Xu Ting didn't know the reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Please make it clear, Miss."

"Just this morning I received news from South Vietnam that Dong Thai Province has been attacked! The two armies of the Dragon King Sect attacked Buriram and Sisaket in Dongtai Province, and all the areas along the Mon River were lost, and the 25th Division remaining in Dongtai Province was originally stationed in Khon Kaen, Sakon Nakhon and Buriram. However, in order to help us exterminate the Dragon King Sect, the first corps of the 25th Division began to move south from Buri Rey, not wanting to encounter an ambush halfway, and the regiment commander was killed, and more than 500 soldiers were killed and wounded. ”

As soon as he heard the news, Xu Ting was stunned on the spot, and he didn't react for a long time.

Shen Yazhi continued: "We also have the latest news in Siam, the Siamese lord Chulalongkorn the Great has ordered his younger brother, the Minister of Military Affairs, Pannurang Gisi, to assemble troops in our border area. Although there are no further attacks at the moment, it is only a matter of time before it will be meaningful. Speaking of this, Shen Yazhi sighed and said: "After all, we were still taught by the Dragon King to calculate, they made a show in South Vietnam, but it was just a move to attract our troops, and when we thought that Cambodia was their primary target, their real guns were pointed at Dongtai Province." ”

Xu Ting, as the head of the first division, naturally could not be a wine bag and rice bag, Shen Yazhi just reminded him a little, and he understood the reason.

Dong Thai Province was awarded compensation from all over the country when the Nguyen Phuc rebellion in South Vietnam was put down because Siam intervened and was defeated by the Northeast. However, the Northeast has no intention of starting a full-scale war with Siam. Therefore, Siam was allowed to relocate all the people of the current Dongtai Province, so it became a vacuum.
