The commander of the 1st Thai Army, Savin, and the commander of the 2nd Army, Song En, ordered their troops to block the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and buy time for their retreat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The Japanese 15th and 22nd Divisions began to retreat, preparing to retreat along the road to the east of the Thaniantaong Mountains, where they rushed to join the Japanese 4th and 56th Divisions, as well as the 4th and 5th Thai armies.

In this way, they can assemble the main force on the defense line of the Wangbin River to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi and Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda jointly signed the telegram and then led the troops to retreat. Although, they knew that they would definitely be punished for not completing the tasks assigned by the commander of the 18th Front, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura. However, they have no other way. Now for them, how to preserve the main force is the most important thing.

Darfur, the line of defense of the Wangbin River, the headquarters of the 18th Front of the Japanese Army.

The atmosphere of the entire command was somewhat dignified. Before the battle began, the 18th Front believed that they would win this battle. Although the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is very strong, the Japanese-Thai coalition army is even stronger! The 18th Front and the Thai* army together amounted to nearly 700,000 men. Not to mention, the 2nd Army will also come across the sea and will soon arrive in Thailand. When the time comes, they will defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on the battlefield in Thailand, and even advance the front to the battlefield in Burma in one fell swoop.

But alas, this battle has just begun, and it is beyond their expectations. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is very difficult to deal with! The defense line of the Dangweng River, which was held by more than 200,000 Japanese-Thai allied troops, was already crumbling under the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. How much time it will be able to hold, no one knows.

"Nakamura-kun, it is obvious that the Weng River defense line will not be able to hold out for half a month. We've got to do it early! Lieutenant General Moriya said.

Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura nodded: "If the Weng River defense line can hold out for a week, it will be beyond my expectations." ”

"Yamada-kun, order the 4th Division, the 56th Division, the 3rd and 4th Armies of the Thai Army, to prepare for battle. Once the line of defense on the Ong River is defeated, we must resist the attack of the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura ordered.

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

"Well, I hope the 2nd Army will arrive as soon as possible." Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura sighed.

The attack power of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was too strong, so that Lieutenant General Nakamura Akito could only pin his hopes on the 2nd Army of the Japanese Army. Judging by the current state of the war, the Thai* army is simply vulnerable. Only with the more than 90,000 men of the 2nd Army could the situation be reversed.

At this time, a communications officer rushed in.

"Your Excellency, Commander, something is wrong. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army dispatched hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles to break through the defense line of the Dangweng River. The 15th Division, the 22nd Division, and the 1st and 2nd Armies of the Thai Army suffered heavy losses. General Shibata Uichi and General Saburo Isoda have already decided to lead their troops to retreat. "The communications officer reported.

"What? When the Weng River defense line has collapsed? "Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura, Lieutenant General Seiji Moriya, Major General Kunitaro Yamada and others were all shocked.

Although they had already guessed, when the Weng River defense line was under the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it would not last long. However, it was broken through so quickly, which was still beyond their expectations!

"Your Excellency, the Commander, the people of China have actually dispatched armored troops. When the Weng River was too shallow, it could not stop the tanks of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army at all. This was a miscalculation! Lieutenant General Moriya Essence looked regretful.

If they had known this, they would have deployed more anti-tank guns on the Don Ong River line. In this case, it will not be so easy for the armored units of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to break through the Japanese defense line.

It's just that it's too late to say this.

"Tell Shibata-kun and Isoda-kun that I agree with them to retreat. Let them retreat the main forces of the 15th and 22nd Divisions as safely as possible to the Wangbin River defense line. Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura ordered.

Although, there was some dissatisfaction with Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi and Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda losing the line of defense so quickly. However, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura knew that there was no way around it. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was too strong, and it was normal for the 15th and 22nd Divisions to be unable to resist it.

It would have been a blessing if the main forces of these two divisions could be withdrawn as much as possible to the Wangbin River defensive line.

Of course, those Thais are not in the consideration of Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura. How much they can retreat depends on their own luck. Even if they all die, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura will not feel distressed.

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

However, for the Japanese army, when the Weng River defense line collapsed so quickly, it was indeed a huge challenge for their overall strategy. This is equivalent to saying that they are running out of time to react.

Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura personally drafted a telegram and sent it to the Lion City, requesting General Toshiichi Terauchi to send the 2nd Army to the battlefield in Thailand as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will lose completely.

On the front line, the Thai* army is holding back the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. It's just that these Thai* troops are already demoralized. In the face of the steady advance of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they had no choice at all. In fact, a large number of Thai soldiers surrendered to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

At the same time, the Japanese 15th and 22nd Divisions were also retreating eastward along the road, preparing to retreat to the eastern part of the Ta Nian Ta Weng Mountains.

Combined, there were more than 30,000 Japanese troops in the two divisions. The combat effectiveness of these more than 30,000 Japanese troops is even stronger than that of the 1st Army and the 2nd Army of the Thai Army combined. It's just that they are in a hurry now. Under the strong might of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, there was no power to fight back.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the front, the people of China have been found in the front." Wing Commander of the 15th Wing of the 51st Division of the Japanese Army, Kimizo Omoto, Nakasa reported.

When the Japanese retreated, their wing was in the vanguard. However, in the foothills to the east, they found a large number of troops of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. This suddenly made Omoto Ki Mizo Nakasa's soul fly away.

"Nani? How did the people of China end up there? Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi's face suddenly turned pale.

"It's over, it's completely finished this time, the back road has been cut off by the Zhina people, and there is no escape." Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda, also bloodless.
