The first battle of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army into Thailand ended with a landslide victory for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBecause the war took place in a small mountain basin between the Lindayi Mountains and the Thani Thanh Ong Mountains on the Thai-Burmese border, it is also known as the Basin Campaign.

Of course, in the military history materials of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, this battle is called the first battle of entering Thailand.

In this battle, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army annihilated the 15th and 22nd Divisions of the Japanese Army, the 1st Army and the 2nd Army of the Thai Army, with more than 260,000 traces. Such a force has reached 40 percent of the Japanese-Thai coalition forces. Of course, this is without counting the 2nd Army of the Japanese Army. Although the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army knew that after the invasion of Thailand, the Japanese army would definitely mobilize reinforcements from other battlefields, but it was not sure whether the 2nd Army would be sent to Thailand.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Shou, the commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, issued an order, requiring the 1st Army to solve the Japanese-Thai coalition army in Thailand in the shortest possible time. In this case, even if the Japanese army sends more reinforcements to the battlefield in Thailand, it will not have any impact on the overall situation.

In this campaign, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army captured a large number of prisoners of war. Of course, none of these prisoners of war included the Japanese themselves. Although, Qin Shou did not explicitly stipulate that he would not accept Japanese prisoners of war during the Thai campaign. However, the officers and men of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army habitually observed this convention during the battle. The prisoners of war were all prisoners of war of the Thai army, more than 150,000 of whom became prisoners of war of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. For a time, the makeshift prisoner of war camp was overcrowded.

This news was also sent to Qin Shou's hands.

"Commander, the 1st Army is in large camps, Sun Changwu said, and they plan to rest for a day. A day later, the offensive to the east continued. Strive to defeat the troops deployed by the Japanese-Thai forces on the Wangbin River defense line, and prepare for the complete defeat of the Japanese-Thai forces entrenched in Thailand. Liu Shiquan said excitedly.

If the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can continue to win on the defense line of the Wangbin River, then it will be a matter of 9 out of 10 for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to take the whole of Thailand.

"Well, can the logistics keep up?" Qin Shou asked.

Of course, he knew what a great price the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had paid for this victory. The baggage brigades of the 1st Army, as well as the baggage battalions of the divisions, were all tired and turned on their backs. If it hadn't been prepared for such a long time, the powerful front of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army would have been limited by logistical supplies.

"Commander, the pressure on logistics is indeed very high. I suggest that the 2nd Heavy Brigade be temporarily transferred to support the 1st Army in the operation. With the support of two baggage brigades, there will be no problems with the logistics supply of the 1st Army. Liu Shiquan suggested.

Qin Shou hesitated for a moment, then nodded. The 2nd Army has almost completed its formation and is undergoing intense training and running-in so that it can form combat effectiveness at an early date. However, the baggage brigade of the 2nd Army, if it is withdrawn, will not have any effect on them. On the contrary, it was possible to strengthen training through intense logistical support.

"Let the 2nd Heavy Brigade support it. After crossing the Ta Thanah Mountains, the logistical supply lines will become longer and longer. When the time comes, the pressure on the front line will also increase. ”

"Yes, Commander."

"By the way, Commander, there is one more problem that makes the 1st Army very tricky. That is, in this battle, there were too many Thais who surrendered. They captured more than 150,000 Thais. It seems that the will to fight of the Thai people is very fragile! This means that we may be able to capture more Thais in the next battle. What we do with those prisoners of war must be prepared in advance. Liu Shiquan suggested. After all, after the entire Thai campaign, there would be at least 400,000 prisoners of war among the sixty-five Thai* troops. These prisoners of war can't be raised for nothing and waste food, right?

Of course, you can also kill them all, and you can kill them all. However, these Thais are not like the Japanese themselves. If it's against the day himself, he will kill him directly, and he won't have any trouble.

Qin Shou also frowned at this question. Although, those Thais are not a good thing either. However, if you kill hundreds of thousands directly, it is still a little unacceptable. Besides, if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army really did this, it would definitely have a huge impact on the whole world. That's something that only a fascist can do. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is now also a member of the anti-fascist alliance, and on the surface it still has to pretend to be a righteous party.

In addition, these prisoners of war are also good laborers, and it would be a pity if they were killed like this.

Qin Shou's gaze fell on the map. On the map, Thailand and Myanmar are divided by the Thani Thanong mountain range, so that the traffic between the two places is very unchanged. In the future, Myanmar will develop rapidly because of the industrialization plan of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The rest of the Nanyang region will rely on Myanmar's industrialization to develop. At that time, the traffic problem will become an important factor restricting the development of Nanyang.

"Chief of Staff, those prisoners of war, I thought about how to use them." Qin Shou said.

"Oh? Commander, how do you use it? ”

"Railway! Construction of railways. Between Thailand and Myanmar, one or more railways are to be built. In Myanmar, a number of railways will also need to be built. In this way, Thailand and Myanmar can be connected as a whole. In the future, we will be able to bring these two regions under our rule at once. Qin Shou said.

"Railroad?" Liu Shiquan was stunned for a moment, but then nodded. The construction of the railway is very beneficial for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to control Burma and Thailand in the future. At the same time, those prisoners of war will also have a place to play.

"Contact Yangon and have the Prime Minister and the Minister of Transport come and see me right away. I need to talk to them about this issue. Qin Shou commanded.

If there is to be a large-scale construction of new railways, it must be led by the military junta. At the same time, it involves a lot of investment and management. Let Qin Shou be responsible, that is impossible. His mind is still on how to defeat the Japanese * himself and how to swallow the entire South Seas. As for domestic development, it can only be temporarily handed over to the junta. When Nanyang really becomes an independent country in the future, Qin Shou's attention will shift to the development of national construction.

"Okay, Commander." Liu Shiquan nodded and immediately went to send a telegram.

Qin Shou's eyes continued to stare at the map and began to think about the railway to be built.
