The Dangweng River was originally just a small river, with a width of only thirty or forty meters. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Especially now that it is a dry season, the width of the river is relatively narrower.

As for the depth of the water, the deep place can be lower than the head, but the shallow place can easily wade across the river.

The maximum wading depth of the M4 heavy tank reached 0.94 meters, and the maximum wading depth of the M3 light tank was not much shallower. If these tanks want to cross the Danung River, it will be very easy.

Besides, during this period of time, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had already figured out that the water depth in those sections of the river was shallow.

Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles began to cross the river. These tanks and armored vehicles, with puffs of black smoke coming out of their exhaust pipes, rushed towards the river bank at a relatively slow speed. Then, enter the Don Ong River at a predetermined location and begin the river crossing.

On the positions of the Japanese-Thai coalition forces, because of the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Thai troops stationed in the garrison suffered heavy losses. And the Japanese troops on the positions have long been withdrawn. In order to avoid the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and preserve its own strength. The Thai troops on the positions were either hiding in the anti-artillery holes or snapping at the bottom of the trenches, and no one paid attention to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at all. For them, the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was life-threatening. All they could do was pray to the Buddha and pray that the cannonballs would not fall on their heads.

When the tanks and armored vehicles of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army drove into the Dangweng River, the shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army stopped. After all, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was established for too short a time. Artillery and tanks are not really coordinated. If the armored forces continue to advance, there is a high probability that they will be accidentally injured by the artillery. Although these tanks and armored vehicles, there is armor protection. However, once it is hit by heavy artillery, it will also be destroyed. In particular, the M3 light tank, shrapnel from a large-caliber howitzer, was able to destroy it.

It was only at this time that the Thai* troops on the position were able to poke their heads out of the trenches and look at the positions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. But then they spotted a large number of tanks and armored vehicles crossing the river, which scared the Thais.

Although, the Thai * army also has armored units. However, the tanks and armored vehicles of the Thais, which are old tanks and armored vehicles purchased from the West, can only be used for show. Combat effectiveness, very bad. In front of the tanks of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they were simply vulnerable. Therefore, the armored units of the Thais simply did not go to the front line, but stayed in Bangkok.

"O Buddha! The Chinese dispatched armored forces. What should we do? Many Thais exclaimed when they saw this scene. Those tanks, like steel monsters, can easily tear them to shreds.

"Quick, report to the day* himself." The commander of the Thai army was even more panicked, and could only pin his hopes on the Japanese himself. As for whether the Japanese * themselves could withstand the attack of the armored forces of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, he did not know.

The command of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Shibata Uichi and Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda, was anxiously awaiting news from the front. They believed that the shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would not continue forever. The heavy shelling was nothing more than clearing the way for the infantry to attack. Moreover, the shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has obviously achieved great results. This also means that the offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will soon begin.

"Shibata-kun, the shelling of the Shina people is estimated to end soon. Either today or tomorrow, they will attack. We need to be ready! Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda said.

Lieutenant General Shibata Uichi nodded: "This attack of the Shina people must be a fierce attack of the earth-shattering attack. If we want to make sure we don't get breached, we'll have to do everything we can to fend off their attacks. Otherwise, our defenses will collapse completely. General Nakamura hopes that we will hold out on to the Dangweng River for at least half a month. ”

If it is said that before the offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, Lieutenant General Shibata Uichi and Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda all thought that holding out for half a month was completely trivial for them. Well, now, they all know, it's going to be a very big problem. The attack of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was too strong. The preparation of firepower before the official attack alone was enough to give them a lot of headaches.

"Get our troops ready. The Thais, under the heavy shelling of the Chinese people, have already suffered heavy losses. It is impossible to expect them to resist the Chinese people. At the critical moment, we still have to rely on our own talents. Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda said.

Although, the Thais held the line for the Japanese* themselves and suffered heavy losses. However, in my mind, I still don't think about the life and death of these Thais at all. In their eyes, these Thais are just tools, cannon fodder that consumes the shells of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

It was at this time that the shelling stopped. Lieutenant General Shibata Uichi and Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda suddenly changed their faces.

"Damn, the shelling of the Chinese has stopped, their attack is about to begin. Let our troops, immediately enter the position. Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi ordered.

And Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda has no objection to this. He also knew what it meant for the shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to stop.

It's just that as soon as their order was given, new news came from the front.

"General, the offensive of the Chinese has begun. They used a large number of tanks and armored vehicles to cross the river in seven routes. Thai * army on the front, request for reinforcements. A staff officer reported.

"What? Armored forces? Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi was shocked.

Lieutenant General Isoda Saburo's face suddenly became very ugly. The defense line of the Dangweng River, which they had painstakingly built, had been shattered by the fierce artillery bombardment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. You don't have to think about it to know that most of those anti-tank fire points have also been destroyed. Even if it survives a little, it is not useful. There is almost no doubt that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army dispatched so many tanks and armored vehicles to tear apart the defense line of the Dangweng River of the Japanese-Thai coalition army.

"Order the Thai* troops on the front line to find a way to resist the attack of the Chinese people. Our army will immediately reinforce them. Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The staff officer immediately went to deliver the order.

It's just that both Lieutenant General Shibata Uiichi and Lieutenant General Saburo Isoda know that they are just doing their best to obey the destiny of heaven. They are not at all sure whether they can withstand the attack of the armored forces of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army!
