Chapter 302: Retreat (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On the battlefield, once an army is defeated, the losses they suffer will be much greater than the losses in frontal combat. After the www.biquge.info lost their fighting spirit, these soldiers were defeated, which was equivalent to giving their backs to the enemy, who could easily shoot them.
Now, the Japanese-Thai coalition on the battlefield, that's it. In the face of the attack of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, as well as the attack of fighters from the sky, these Japanese-Thai coalition forces have been completely frightened. They don't have the courage to continue fighting. This naturally gave the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army the opportunity to attack them.
"Commander, the Japanese * himself was defeated, and according to reports from the front, two divisions of the Japanese * himself arrived only after our armored units had routed the Thai * army. It's just that even if they rush to the battlefield, they are powerless to return to the sky. Under the flanking of our armored forces and aviation, the Japanese themselves chose to retreat. Yu Chengyin smiled.
The defense line of the Donong River, which was painstakingly built by the Japanese and the Thais, was of no use at all, and was broken through by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. At the same time, they suffered heavy losses on this line of defense. It can be said that the Japanese-Thai coalition forces have been unable to stop the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
Sun Changwu also nodded, his face full of excitement. Breaking through the Japanese-Thai defense line on the Danong River is only the first step. Next, it is necessary to completely annihilate these Japanese-Thai coalition forces, which is the most important thing.
"Order the Armored Brigade and the 1st Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Infantry Regiment to set off immediately, ignore the rest of the Japanese-Thai forces, and be sure to cut off the retreat of the Japanese-Thai forces. Order the other troops, steady and steady, step by step, not to give the Japanese-Thai coalition a chance to escape. Sun Changwu ordered.
Now that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has defeated the Japanese-Thai coalition army head-on, then they must ensure the greatest possible results. And in this battle, the biggest result is naturally the total annihilation of the more than 200,000 Japanese-Thai coalition troops.
The Japanese-Thai coalition army in the entire Thailand is as high as more than 700,000. If you can solve more than 200,000 in this battle, it is equivalent to solving one-third of the enemy. If you can fight in the next battle, you can once again inflict heavy losses on the Japanese-Thai forces. Then, this battle will be won by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. If Japan* himself wants to compete with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on the battlefield in Thailand, it is simply unlikely.
Yu Chengyin nodded, indeed, defeating the Japanese-Thai coalition on the battlefield is only the first step. Next, the most important thing is to wipe out the more than 200,000 Japanese-Thai coalition troops.
After the order was issued, the 1st Armored Brigade, the 1st Infantry Regiment, and the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army began to attack directly to the east. More than 200 tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles of the armored brigade formed a torrent of steel, directly breaking through the blockade of the Japanese and Thai forces along the way and attacking eastward. In the face of such a powerful torrent of steel, the Japanese-Thai alliance was simply unable to resist.
The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments were also riding in trucks. Each truck carried an infantry squad and their equipment, allowing the two infantry regiments to keep up with the rapid advance of the armored troops.
From the Dangweng River to the foothills to the east, it is only a short distance of more than ten kilometers. This is only an hour or two for the speed of advance of the armored forces. What's more, now, the Japanese-Thai coalition forces are on the verge of collapse, and they are even more unable to stop the advance of the armored forces of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
At this time, the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese-Thai coalition army was already in a mess. The two division commanders of the Japanese army and the two commanders of the Thai army were like ants on a hot pot.
Before this, they probably never thought that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would be so powerful. More than 200,000 Japanese-Thai coalition troops completely collapsed in just over a day after the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army launched an offensive.
Although they all knew that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was very powerful, they didn't expect it to be so powerful!
"Two generals, what shall we do now? The Chinese have already called, and the troops at the front have been routed. It won't be long before they're here. Otherwise, let's retreat at once. We retreated to the Wangbin River defense line, joined up with the rest of the troops, and fought the Chinese again. In that case, our odds are much better. Lieutenant General Song Eun, commander of the 2nd Thai Army, suggested.
"That's right, the Chinese are too powerful. We continue to resist here, and in the end there is only one end, and that is to be wiped out by them. Only by retreating, retreating to the Wangbin River defense line, then there will be a chance. Lieutenant General Savin, commander of the 1st Army of the Thai Army, also echoed.
Obviously, these two generals of the Thai army have been frightened by the strong strength shown by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. They couldn't wait to escape from the front line and escape to safety.
Lieutenant General Shibata Uichi and Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda were also pale. They also didn't expect that they would be defeated so quickly.
"Isata-kun, what do you think?" Lieutenant General Shibata asked.
"The people of China are too strong. Especially since they actually have so many tanks and armored vehicles. When the Weng River is too narrow, there is no way to stop them. If we keep fighting, we don't have any chance of winning. Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda said.
Lieutenant General Shibata Uichi nodded, he didn't know this truth. It's just that Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura asked them to hold out for half a month. It was only a little over a day now that they had been defeated, so how could they explain to Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura?
"Shibata-kun, you can't hesitate any longer, you have to retreat. Otherwise, we'd all be shattered here. At that time, the Wangbin River defense line may not be able to stop the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda said.
"Well, retreat immediately. However, even if we retreat, we need to leave our troops behind to break off. Otherwise, such a chaotic retreat will soon be overtaken by the Shina people. When the time comes, we won't be able to leave. Lieutenant General Shibata said.
Immediately, the eyes of Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi and Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda fell on Lieutenant General Sawen and Lieutenant General Songen. Their meaning is undoubtedly obvious, that is, let the Thai* army be responsible for intercepting the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, giving the Japanese army a chance to evacuate, and buying time.
Although, such an order made Lieutenant General Savin and Lieutenant General Song En very angry. However, they did not dare to refuse. What's more, they still want to run away?
"Well, two generals, we will order the army to intercept the Chinese." Lieutenant General Savin said.
It's just that they will soon find out that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has cut off their retreat. They want to retreat, it's just delusional.
