Chapter 346: Defeat is like a mountain

The headquarters of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army and the senior generals of the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army all gathered here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's just that as time goes by, the expressions on everyone's faces become more and more ugly.

In particular, Lieutenant General Yuzo Matsuyama, commander of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, and Major General Hira Hamada, deputy chief of staff of the 18th Front Army, turned even pale.

Participating in this offensive were the 146th Wing and the 148th Wing under the command of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army. These two wings fought a great defeat and even ended up in total annihilation. This responsibility cannot be evaded for Lieutenant General Yuzo Matsuyama.

As for Major General Hamada Hei, even more so. Who made him come up with this battle plan? If this battle plan can be successful, then it will be a great achievement for him. You can even get promoted by virtue of this merit, for example, to be promoted to the chief of staff of the 18th Front, or to be the division commander of a division, etc.

But alas, now their plan has failed. If you have to find a scapegoat, Major General Hamada Ping is undoubtedly the best candidate! At the thought of this, Major General Hamada Taira was very frightened. He was even thinking about whether to choose a decent way to end his life, which could be regarded as taking responsibility for this failure.

"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the latest information received from the front, the 146th Wing and the 148th Wing have been completely defeated by the Chinese people. Now, it's retreating. And the people of China are pursuing them. The Chinese were on the sandbar and used a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, so much so that our two wings could not withstand their attack at all. After all, the warriors of the Dainichi Empire are not afraid of death. However, no matter how brave you are, you can't make up for the gap between flesh and blood and steel chariots! Major General Kunitaro Yamada, commander of the 18th Front of the Japanese Army, reported.

Lieutenant General Yuzo Matsuyama and Major General Hei Hamada both glanced at Major General Kunitaro Yamada gratefully. Major General Kunitaro Yamada attributed the defeat of the 146th and 148th Infantry Wings of the Japanese Army to the dispatch of armored units by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which is undoubtedly exonerating them in disguise! Even if Lieutenant General Matsuyama Yuzo disposes of them at that time, the punishment will not be so severe.

Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura frowned, what Major General Kunitaro Yamada meant, of course he understood. It's just that the anger in his heart is still irrepressible. After all, this time he was desperate and put all his strength into this battle. However, in the end, it ended in failure. It is highly likely that this will lead to the collapse of their defense line and the defeat of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"The people of China threw in armored forces, and this is only one reason. The bigger reason is their incompetence. If, after attacking the sandbar, they were able to defeat the Chinase in the shortest possible time and blow up the pontoon bridge, where would the armored forces of the China's go to the sandbar? Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura said with a cold face.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." All the generals replied.

Seeing these generals with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura can't make a fire even if he is angry! What's more, the situation is so tense right now. In the rest of the battle, he will also need to continue to rely on these talents.

"What about Soshiro Kanaoka and Dreadnought Aihara?" Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura asked.

Since he couldn't get angry at these generals, he could only get angry at the two wing commanders who directly commanded the operation.

"Your Excellency Commander, Kanaoka-kun and Aihara-kun, have committed suicide." Major General Kunitaro Yamada reported.

Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura was stunned for a moment, but still didn't say anything. After all, the day himself also has a lot of respect for the deceased. Even if there is a great sin, but Kanaoka Soshiro Osa and Aihara Fearless Suke Osa have already atoned for their sins with their lives, so there is nothing to say. If you continue to pursue it, it will make people feel that he, as a commander, is too lacking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fiasco of the 146th Wing and the 148th Wing has almost wiped out our main forces. The loss of front-line combat units has greatly damaged our strength. Although, there are tens of thousands of second-line troops, as well as more than 100,000 Thai troops. However, it is clear to everyone. How much combat effectiveness these troops can exert themselves? It can be said that it is already very difficult to hold the defense line of the Wangbin River. Now, what do we do? Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura asked.

The battle has reached this point, and in fact, it is only one step away from defeat. If he had a choice, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura would have been eager to lead his troops directly to retreat to Bangkok. After the arrival of the Japanese 2nd Army and the 38th Army, they fought a decisive battle with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

However, in that case, it would be tantamount to voluntarily giving up a large part of Thailand's territory. Thailand's food resources are urgently needed. The daily food is extremely scarce. Units fighting in various theaters often need to collect food on the spot. The grain produced by Thailand and other local staples is a much-needed resource for Japan.

Once these resources are lost, Japan's war potential will once again be weakened. This is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable to Japan, which has gradually begun to weaken.

Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura and others could not bear such consequences. Therefore, they must resist the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army as much as possible to gain enough time for the arrival of reinforcements.

When the senior generals of the 18th Front Army of the Japanese Army were discussing countermeasures with sad faces. The general offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has begun.

The remnants of the Japanese army on the No. 5 sandbar have been almost cleared. The three main infantry regiments of the 2nd Infantry Division of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army took this opportunity to launch an attack on the east bank of the Wangbin River.

At this moment, the sky has gradually brightened.

The artillery of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also began to rain shells like the Japanese positions on the east bank of the Wangbin River.

After the main force of the Japanese army was transferred to attack the No. 5 sandbank, the soldiers defending the position were all Thai. These Thais are already frightened at this moment. They watched with their own eyes as several thousand ferocious Japanese soldiers launched an attack on the sandbar where the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was entrenched. But in the end, it was all wiped out. Many people were drowned alive in the river. Only a very small number of Japanese soldiers escaped.

This made these Thais even more afraid of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Lian Ri* himself was no match for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, let alone them.

As a result, when the vanguard of several regiments of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army landed on the east bank of the Wangbin River, the Thai * army on the position directly collapsed.
