The military headquarters of the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng and Major General Chen Qi, couldn't help but smile as they watched the fighter planes flying over their heads. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Last night, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment were under siege, which made both of them also worried. If the besieged troops are not able to hold on, once they are completely annihilated by the Japanese army, the consequences will be unimaginable. This would result in a crushing defeat for the 2nd Army as soon as it began the Indochina campaign.

However, fortunately, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment did not live up to the prestige of elite units. Even in such a critical situation, it still resisted the attack of the Japanese army, and also caused huge casualties to the Japanese army. This also means that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has gained the upper hand in this battle.

"Commander, Chief of Staff. Telegraph of the 2nd Armored Brigade. A communications officer reported.

Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng took the telegram and couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, the 2nd Armored Brigade and the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment fought very well last night. Although they lost almost a hundred tanks and armored vehicles. There were also more than 1,000 casualties. However, the losses he inflicted on the enemy were at least a dozen times greater than his own. Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng said with a smile.

In war, casualties are inevitable. The key is to see if these casualties are worth it. It can inflict a cost on the enemy that is more than ten times more than its own casualties. Well, it's undoubtedly worth paying for these casualties.

"Well, if it weren't for the siege of the day * himself. And if a large number of tanks and armored vehicles had been lost at the very beginning due to the heavy shelling of the Japanese themselves, the losses of the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment would have been much smaller. Major General Chen Qi said.

"No matter what, we won the battle. The 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment, had already begun to pursue the retreating Japanese himself. Let's hope they can take the opportunity to expand their gains. If you can make the Japanese * himself pay further heavy casualties. Then, the next battle will probably be much easier to fight. Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng said.

If the main force of the Japanese Burma Front can be wiped out west of the Mekong River, then the remaining strength of the Japanese army will not be enough to resist the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Even if there is a moat like the Mekong. But in the case of insufficient troops, the defense line is bound to be full of holes. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wants to cross the Mekong River and annihilate the Japanese Burma Front, it will be very easy.

"Haha, then it depends on the performance of the pursuing troops." Major General Chen Qi said with a smile.

Subsequently, telegrams from the 7th and 8th Infantry Divisions also came. They reported that they had routed the Japanese 53rd Division and the Independent Mixed Brigade and were now in pursuit.

Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng ordered the 7th Infantry Division and the 8th Infantry Division to speed up the pursuit and find a way to eat as many Japanese troops as possible.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng also ordered the follow-up 9th Infantry Division and the 10th Infantry Division to speed up and keep up with the troops in front. Avoid falling into the trap of the Japanese army again and being besieged by the Japanese army.

"Commander, Chief of Staff. The 11th Infantry Division called. The Japanese 54th Division and the 105th Brigade were rapidly retreating along the northern shore of Lake Tonsari. A communications officer reported.

The 54th Division and the 105th Brigade of the Japanese Army were deployed in Siem Reap, preparing to attack the southwest of Tonsari Lake after the battle began, to hold back a part of the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and to create favorable conditions for the encirclement and annihilation of the pursuing troops of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

However, after discovering the conspiracy of the Japanese army. The 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army immediately sent the 11th Infantry Division and the 12th Infantry Division to the north to intercept the Japanese 54th Division and the 105th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade. The two sides engaged in fierce fighting in the southwest of Siem Reap. However, the Japanese army was unable to bargain for a little, and the war reached a stalemate.

When the Japanese army's plan failed and the whole army began to flee in disarray, the Japanese 53rd Division and the 105th Brigade immediately chose to retreat. I am afraid that if I withdraw late, I will be caught by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"The 11th and 12th Infantry Divisions were ordered to begin the pursuit along the northern shore of Lake Tonsari. Annihilate as many Japanese troops as you can. Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng ordered. Now is a good chance to beat up the reservoir dogs. If we can destroy more Japanese troops, it will be of great help to the next war.

"Yes, Captain." The staff officer immediately went to deliver the order.

Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng's gaze fell on the map hanging on the wall. The entire Khmer war situation is developing in favor of the Japanese National Salvation Army. If they can destroy the living forces of the Japanese army as much as possible in the next battle. Then, the next battle will be even easier to fight. Even the Mekong is no longer a big problem.

When the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was frantically pursuing the fleeing Japanese army, the divisions and brigades of the Japanese army were desperately fleeing. They wanted to escape from the pursuit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. As long as you can escape to the east bank of the Mekong River, you will be able to save your life.

Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, the headquarters of the Japanese Burma Front in Saigon, was even more furious when he learned of the battle situation at the front.

"Yaga! How so? We have been deployed for so long, and have invested so many main forces, that not only have we not been able to destroy a single pursuing force of the China, but we have suffered heavy losses. How can this battle continue! Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura roared angrily.

The casualties of the Japanese army were too great. The 18th Division, the 31st Division, and the 24th Brigade were all killed or wounded. The 53rd Division and the 72nd Brigade were mixed together, and the casualties were not so small. Even the 54th Division of the Japanese Army and the 105th Brigade Regiment formed by the independent * * independent mixed Brigade also paid a lot of price.

Judging from these circumstances, the Japanese army lost almost 40,000 troops in this battle. Moreover, these units are front-line combat units. As a result, the fighters of the Japanese Burmese Front will be greatly affected. It is directly related to whether they can withstand the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in the next battle!

What's more, the pursuit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army continues. How many of those troops were able to escape east of the Mekong River is difficult to say.

If the Mekong defense line is lost before the reinforcements arrive, and the Burmese front suffers heavy losses. Even after the arrival of reinforcements, it will be very difficult to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
