In the eastern part of Siam, at the field airfield of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force, fighter planes and bombers were pulled out of the hangar and parked on the runway. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The 2nd Army was fighting fiercely with the Japanese on the Khmer battlefield and was in dire need of air support. It hadn't been dawn yet, so the air force was completely powerless. But now, it's getting dark. Naturally, the air force will be able to come in handy.

"Order the ready squadron of fighters and bombers, take off at once!" The commander of the air force, Xu Huansheng, ordered.

P-51B fighters, B-25 medium bombers and B-24 heavy bombers, which had long been ready, took off from the runway of the airfield. In order to support the 2nd Army's fighting in the Indochina colony, the air force deliberately transferred its main force to the field airfield in eastern Siam, so that the 2nd Army could attack as soon as it was needed.

From eastern Siam to Khmer, it will not take much time for these high-speed fighters. It can be said that not long after dawn, the fighters and bombers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army appeared on the battlefield.

On the lines of the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment, the soldiers were resting. At this moment, the battlefield has completely turned into an Asura hell. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers in front of the defensive line, piled up on top of each other, I don't know how many days* themselves died in the battle last night. The casualties paid by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were not very large. However, they consume a lot of weapons and ammunition. If the Japanese launch another large-scale attack during the day today, as they did last night, they may not be able to support it. Without ammunition, the weapons in their hands will become burning sticks. They can't be allowed to fight the Japanese army with their bare hands.

Fortunately, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army knew that if they held out until daylight, they won.

The divisional headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Nakanaga Taro, Lieutenant General Kawada Mautaro and Major General Shunji Aida, did not say a word. For them, the losses of last night were very large, and they had already lost more than half of their troops. And the troops lost are almost all front-line combat units. It can be said that these two divisions and one independent mixed brigade can be regarded as disabled.

"Kawada-kun, Aida-kun. Order your troops and prepare to retreat. After all, we didn't seize the opportunity to wipe out the Shina people! In this battle, we will inevitably be at a disadvantage. Retreat your troops as far as you can to the east bank of the Mekong River and find a way to fend off the attack of the Chinese there. Lieutenant General Nakanaga Taro sighed, looking very frustrated. This defeat was undoubtedly a great blow to them, the generals of the Japanese army. They have worked hard for this battle plan. But in the end, I didn't expect this to be the result.

"Yes, although this time our plan did not work out. However, the battle has only just begun. We can retreat to the east bank of the Mekong River and resist the attack of the China. As long as we hold out until reinforcements arrive, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Lieutenant General Kawada Masetaro said. It can be said that in the case of another defeat, these Japanese generals put all their hopes on reinforcements.

"Inform Kono-kun and Uno-kun that they are ready to retreat. If you don't retreat, I'm afraid it'll be too late. Lieutenant General Taro Nakanaga said.

Actually, it's too late now. The counterattack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is about to begin.

A large number of fighters appeared above the heads of these Japanese soldiers.

"Prepare to drop the bomb!"

With the commander's order, one after another B-25 medium bombers and B-24 heavy bombers began to reduce their flight altitude. At an altitude of only two thousand meters above the ground, they began to drop bombs. Aerial bombs fell from the magazine.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A violent explosion sounded on the ground, and black smoke rose into the sky. In the explosions, Japanese soldiers were constantly killed. This made those Japanese soldiers pay an extremely heavy price again. In particular, those Japanese troops gathered together became the key targets of the bombers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Da Da Da!"

Those P-51B fighters in the sky also joined the attack. After the aerial bombs mounted under the wings of these fighters were dropped, they began to strafe the Japanese troops on the ground with aerial machine guns. Many Japanese soldiers fell in pools of blood, and the casualties further increased.

"Yaga! The counterattack of the people of China began, retreat, retreat immediately! Seeing this, Lieutenant General Taro Nakanaga gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat. With heavy losses, these forces have become the last force in their defense line against the Mekong. If all these forces are lost, then there is no way to continue this battle!

A large number of Japanese troops began to retreat. They are no longer as aggressive as they used to be.

Last night, when they launched an attack on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they were all excited, and they had the posture of eliminating all the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the encirclement. But now, with heavy losses, they can only flee in embarrassment. Otherwise, you'll be leaving your life here.

The 53rd Division of the Japanese Army, which blocked the 7th Infantry Division, the 8th Infantry Division and the 2nd Artillery Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and the 72nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, also suffered heavy losses. After receiving the notice of retreat, Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono did not say a word and immediately gave the order to retreat.

As a result, the officers and men of the 7th Infantry Division and the 8th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army rushed to the Japanese position, and found that there was no Japanese person on the position. Only then did they realize that they themselves had retreated these days.

"Dog*day, these days* I still run fast. Could it be that they thought they would be able to escape in this way? Order all the troops to start the pursuit of the day * himself, and absolutely not let them escape! Major General Yan Tianning ordered.

This time, he was put on a show by the Japanese * himself, and almost let the 2nd Armored Brigade and two infantry regiments be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese * himself. This made Major General Yan Tianning regard it as a shame.

In addition, now that the Japanese army is retreating, this is a great time to expand the results of the battle! It would be a huge waste to miss it like that.

Of course, in the battle last night, the Japanese army not only did not annihilate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, but paid a heavy price. This also makes Major General Yan Tianning no longer have to worry about falling into the trap of Ri* himself. It is estimated that the Japanese* himself, who is desperate to flee, will not have the courage to calculate the anti-Japanese salvation army anymore.
