On January 22, the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army began to cross the Ta Nian Ta Weng Mountains along the road. www.biquge.info Even though there are roads, the more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads still have a great impact on the march of the large army.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not stop the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army anymore, so that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army could pass through the mountain road without danger and reach the west bank of the Wangbin River. Several infantry divisions, heavy artillery brigades, and armored brigades of the entire 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army arrived before January 24. As for the reconnaissance brigade, it arrived first. They need to collect battlefield information in a timely manner for commanders to use in their decisions.

"Commander, the Japanese himself did not stop us on the mountain road. The mountain road is dangerous, and even if a wing is sent to defend the danger, it will greatly delay us, and even make us pay a lot of price. Yu Chengyin said.

"Well, Hi* himself has probably become a frightened bird. We got rid of more than 200,000 of them in two days, and we scared them enough. In such a situation, of course, they did not dare to divide their forces anymore. Otherwise, if we eat some of the army, it will only make their defenses more vulnerable. After all, the troops they deployed on the Wangbin River defense line were no more than those deployed on the Danongong River defense line. Sun Changwu said with a smile.

The armies deployed by the Japanese-Thai coalition forces on the Wangbin River defense line are also two divisions and two armies of the Thai Army, and this strength is the same as the army they deployed on the Dang Weng River defense line. It's just that there was no 4th division on the Wangbin River defense line, and it didn't suffer losses. Of course, the 4th Division has never been known for its strong combat effectiveness. Although this division is one of the standing divisions of the Japanese army, it is well-equipped. However, their fighting will is undoubtedly the weakest among the many divisions of the Japanese army, and they are often ridiculed by other divisions and regiments as 'cowardly divisions'. It is simply impossible to expect this division to have strong combat effectiveness.

"Commander, it seems that we should have no problem defeating the Japanese troops deployed on the defense line of the Wangbin River." Yu Chengyin looked a little optimistic. Their victory on the Dang Weng River line gave him a lot of confidence.

However, Sun Changwu shook his head.

"Chief of Staff, this battle of the Wangbin River defense line may not be as easy as we imagined. The Wangbin River is not comparable to the Danongong River. It was not so easy to cross the river under the heavy guard of the Japanese-Thai forces. Sun Changwu was a little worried.

The Dang Weng River is nothing more than a small river only thirty or forty meters wide, and the water is very shallow. This allowed a large number of tanks and armored vehicles of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to easily wade across the river. In the face of the powerful armored force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the Japanese-Thai coalition forces were simply unable to resist and were finally defeated, thus causing the entire section of the defense line to collapse.

However, the defense line of the Wangbin River is different, it is a large river with a width of more than 100 meters, and in many places it is even a full 200 meters wide. The depth of the water is not comparable to that of the Weng River. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army dispatches armored troops again this time, I am afraid that there will be only one final result, that is, they will all be drowned in the river.

When Yu Chengyin heard this, he also nodded. He also realized that this battle might not be too smooth.

Six infantry divisions and several brigades of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, after crossing the Thaniantaung Mountain Range, spread out along the Wangbin River. They did not rush into attack, but first learned about the situation from the reconnaissance brigade and discussed an effective plan.

The arrival of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also made the 4th and 56th Divisions of the Japanese Army, the 3rd Army and the 4th Army of the Thai Army on the east bank of the Wangbin River very nervous, as if facing a great enemy.

"Your Excellency, the movement of the people of China is very fast, more than 100,000 people, except for the baggage troops who are constantly transporting supplies, the rest of the troops have arrived on the west bank of the Wangbin River. It is expected that their offensive will soon begin. Major General Kunitaro Yamada, Chief of Staff of the 18th Front of the Japanese Army, reported.

Nakamura Akito's face was a little solemn, although he believed that the defense of the Wangbin River defense line was stronger than that of the Danongong River. It will be even more difficult for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to break through their defensive lines. And, the 2nd and 38th armies, which were their reinforcements, would soon arrive. However, he still has some uncertainty in his heart.

This is not to blame him, in fact, in the past six months, the Japanese army has suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which makes them naturally have a fear of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

What's more, the combat effectiveness of the troops in the hands of Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura now does not have an advantage. Although, the strength of the force seems to be huge, but it is very difficult to say how much combat strength these troops have. The 200,000 Thais of the two armies are almost negligible. The 56th Division was reorganized after being annihilated, and its combat effectiveness was not very strong. Although the 4th Division is a standing division, the combat effectiveness of the 4th Division is definitely the worst among many standing divisions and regiments, and it is also the one with the worst will to fight. Whether they will be able to exert strong combat effectiveness in this battle is still unknown.

"The 4th and 56th divisions were ordered, from now on, to enter the highest state of combat readiness. It is absolutely impossible to retreat without receiving an order. If someone retreats without a fight, they will be punished by military law! Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura ordered with a dark face.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Kunitaro Yamada nodded.

"In addition, Shouya-kun, on the side of the Thai Army, you must form a team of overseers. Although, the Wangbin River is wide, we can't completely pin our hopes on the river. In the event of unfavorable fighting on the front line, the Thai* army must also come in handy. This time, we're going to have to fight hard. Before the arrival of the 2nd and 38th armies, it was necessary to resist the attacks of the Chinese and consume as much of their living force as possible. Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Moriya nodded. As the commander of the Japanese-Thai forces, he certainly desperately hoped that the Thai Army would be able to display its strong combat effectiveness. In this way, his low temperature will naturally rise. It's a pity that the Thai* army is like mud that can't hold up the wall, it's really rubbish.

On the evening of the 24th, the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army held a pre-war meeting, which was attended by the commanders of all infantry divisions and brigades. It's just that everyone's faces are more serious. After examining the specific situation, everyone knows that it is undoubtedly very difficult to break through the defense line of the Wangbin River.
