"Ladies and gentlemen, the Wangbin River defense line is at hand. According to the information from www.biquge.info the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Japanese-Thai forces are now mainly assembled on the Wangbin River defense line and Bangkok. In other words, if we can wipe out the Japanese troops on the opposite side of the Wangbin River, then we will march directly to Bangkok and smash Huanglong. After taking Bangkok, the whole of Thailand can be considered ours. Therefore, even if this battle is not easy to fight, we must win it. Sun Changwu said categorically.

The generals of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army present all had serious faces. As everyone knows, this time the situation is more complicated. But even so, everyone knows that this battle must be won in a way.

Although the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has developed more and more powerful, it is like a boat sailing against the current, and if they do not advance, they will retreat.

The reason why the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is strong is entirely based on the support of the Americans. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is unable to defeat the Japanese on the battlefield, or if the Americans think that their investment is not as good as a return, they will probably stop supporting the Japanese National Salvation Army. When the time comes, the collapse of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is just around the corner!

"Brethren, the commander has made it clear. We've been in touch with the Commander. The commander asked us to break through the defense line of the Wangbin River within a week and destroy as many Japanese troops as possible entrenched here. According to the commander's analysis, it is impossible for the Japanese to watch them remain at a disadvantage on the battlefield in Thailand. In all likelihood, they are on their way to send reinforcements to Thailand. When the time comes, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. While the British continued to be hostile to us, it was unlikely that the 2nd Army would come to our aid. So, on the battlefield in Thailand, we can only rely on ourselves. If you can defeat Hito* himself in the shortest possible time and win, it will undoubtedly be the best. Chief of Staff Yu Chengyin also said.

These words made everyone's expressions more solemn. The fighting effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is very strong, and everyone knows it. However, if the Japanese themselves continue to send reinforcements to Thailand, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will not receive support. Gradually, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will be at a disadvantage or even defeated. If it fails, the plan of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to take Thailand will be a complete failure.

"Commander, after our reconnaissance brigade arrived, it reconnoitred for dozens of kilometers along the Wangbin River. Discover that the river, even at its narrowest, is more than a hundred meters wide. Moreover, there are many places where the water depth exceeds one meter, and the deepest places are even three or four meters. So, if you use armored forces to assault again, it will not work at all. Zhang Erniu, commander of the 1st Reconnaissance Company, reported.

Sun Changwu nodded and looked at the others: "The brothers all expressed their opinions and brainstormed to find a way to break through the defense line of the Wangbin River. ”

"Commander, what if we don't cross the Wangbin River and attack directly down the river? Follow the river and probably go all the way to Bangkok! The commander of the 3rd Infantry Division proposed.

"This will not work, if we do not destroy the Japanese troops on the east bank of the Wangbin River, once our main force goes south, they cross the river to cut off our logistical supply lines, then the problem will be troublesome. At that time, it is very likely that we will be flanked by the Japanese themselves, and we will lose completely. What's more, the strength of the Japanese-Thai coalition army in Bangkok is also not weak. Tens of thousands of Japanese troops plus 200,000 Thai troops are not so easy to deal with. The commander of the 1st Infantry Division retorted.

"Brothers, the purpose of our breakthrough of the defense line of the Wangbin River this time is precisely to annihilate the Japanese-Thai coalition forces on the other side of the river, even if we cannot completely annihilate them, we must do our best to eliminate some Japanese-Thai coalition forces. Only in this way will we be able to maintain our superiority on the battlefield in Thailand. Sun Changwu said.

"Commander, in that case, we will have to honestly launch a river crossing operation. Relying on strong firepower, it ensured that our sappers were able to erect pontoon bridges and then cross the river. Of course, if you fight like this, I'm afraid it will be very tragic. The commander of the 2nd Infantry Division said.

"How much time will it take for the engineer brigade to erect a pontoon bridge over the Wangbin River?" Sun Changwu looked at the commander of the engineer brigade.

"Commander, if it weren't for the interference of the Japanese himself, we would have been able to erect a pontoon bridge in two hours. However, if you are constantly attacked by the Japanese themselves, then I am afraid that it may not be possible. "The commander of the engineer brigade also did not dare to guarantee it. After all, the pontoon bridges they built are all fragile and can be easily destroyed once they are shelled. At that time, all the efforts made before will be in vain.

"If we gather our heavy artillery, together with air support, we should be able to secure control of a section of the riverbank. Powerful firepower can clear out all the Japanese * themselves on the other side of the river. Then let the artillery move forward, all the way to the bank of the river. In this case, relying on our superiority in the number of artillery and the firing range, we will be able to suppress the Japanese themselves. Yu Fei, commander of the 1st Artillery Brigade, suggested.

"That's a good idea. Well, now it seems that the problem can be solved. Sun Changwu smiled.

Although, this battle may be very tragic. However, a solution has finally been found to break the enemy. And it's a plan to give full play to your own strengths as much as possible. This was undoubtedly of great help to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in defeating the Japanese themselves.

"So, the next step is to pick a suitable battlefield." Yu Chengyin said with a smile.

"Commander, chief of staff, there is a section of the river that should be very suitable for us to implement this plan." Zhang Erniu, commander of the 1st Reconnaissance Brigade, said.

"Oh? Where? ”

"It's a little south of Tak. The width of the river there, although more than two hundred meters. However, there are several large and small sandbars in the river. In fact, the sappers only needed to build a pontoon bridge of a few tens of meters to be able to land on the sandbar in the river. With those sandbars, we can deploy our troops on them to further suppress the day * himself. Zhang Erniu said.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up. This section of the river is really more suitable.

"What do you think?" Sun Changwu asked.

"Commander, here it is. We will attack from here, and if the Japanese themselves dare to stop us here, then we will use our powerful firepower to make them pay a heavy price here. Said the commander of the 1st Infantry Division.

"Well, that's it. Everyone went back and prepared, and early tomorrow morning, the attack officially began. 1st Infantry Division, leading the way. Sun Changwu ordered.

"Yes, Captain." Everyone replied.
