To the west of the Weng River, the six infantry divisions and six brigades of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had already entered their respective positions. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info along the winding Dangweng River, from north to south on the 60-kilometer long defensive line, six infantry divisions in turn.

This is a basin in the middle of the Ta Nitah Mountains, and the terrain is relatively flat. The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the Japanese Army both deployed heavy troops in this basin. This basin is the only way to cross the Ta Nian Ta Thanon mountain range. Whoever controls the basin will be able to open access to the other party's territory.

Of course, the Japanese army tried to use the defensive line built on the east bank of the Danongong River to make the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army hit their heads in front of their defense line and bleed. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also hopes that it can completely annihilate the main force of the Japanese army in this basin and prepare for a further attack on Thailand.

Myawaddy, a small city west of the Dang Ong River in Myanmar, is across the river from Mae Sot in Thailand. Originally, there was a bridge between the two small cities. However, while building a defensive line, the bridge was blown up.

Fortunately, the Dangweng River was originally just a small river, and now there are many flood seasons. The river is only about 20 meters wide. Moreover, the river is very shallow, and the deepest part is only up to the chest.

Of course, this does not mean that it will be easy for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to pass through the Dangweng River. On the east bank of the Danongong River, the Japanese army built artillery positions and dense machine-gun pillboxes. Once they wade across the river, they will undoubtedly become the target of the Japanese army's intensive firepower. When the time comes, the blood of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army may really dye all the water of the Dangweng River red.

To the west of Miaowady, on a hill, Sun Changwu, commander of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, Yu Chengyin, chief of staff, and several division commanders and brigade commanders were using binoculars to observe the situation across the river.

"Little devils on Dog * Day, their preparation is really charging! Less than fifty meters from the river bank, they built a line of trenches and machine-gun fire points. If we hastily cross the river, we will be hit by the superior firepower of the Japanese army. When the time comes, the corpses of our soldiers will probably cover the entire river! Yu Chengyin said with an ugly face.

"It seems that this battle is not so easy to fight. However, no matter how difficult it is, we must win this battle. A hint of resoluteness flashed in Sun Changwu's eyes. This was his first battle after being promoted to army commander, and if he couldn't win, then what face did he have to continue to rely on in this position?

"Commander, what you didn't say, let's shell it directly with heavy artillery. The defense line of the day * himself seems to be very strong and terrifying. But it is still nothing more than a fortification of a civil structure. It's not hard for us to destroy their fortifications! Major General Lu Hengliang, commander of the 1st Infantry Division, said. He was originally the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment. After Sun Changwu stepped down as division commander, he took over the position of division commander.

"Yes, Commander. No matter how strong the defense line is, it will not be able to withstand the heavy artillery bombardment of our guns. With just a few shots, they can blow up their defenses. What's more, we will be able to get the support of the air force when the time comes. The planes of the air force can use bombs to further destroy the defense line of the Japanese and completely destroy the defense line of the Japanese themselves. The other division and brigade commanders said one after another.

Everyone has a trace of superstition about the powerful firepower of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. No matter how strong the enemy is, it is still impossible to hold out under the powerful firepower of his own side. Powerful artillery fire, which can destroy the enemy's defense line and tear the enemy to pieces. No matter how strong the defense line is, it will not be able to withstand the offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Commander, the armored brigade found a shoal about ten kilometers upstream of Myweddy. The river there is very shallow, and our tanks can wade across the river. More than two hundred tanks of the armored brigade can completely tear through the defense line of the Japanese * himself. When the time comes, it will be much easier for the infantry to cross the river. Major General Hu Cuiming, commander of the 1st Armored Brigade, said.

Lieutenant General Sun Changwu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the Japanese * himself had a strong defensive line, and launching a strong attack would cause the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to suffer a lot of losses. However, if the armored forces were to take the lead, it might not be the same. In addition to an armored brigade, the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army also had a tank battalion in all other infantry divisions. If these tank battalions, like the armored brigades, were divided into several sections and made a breakthrough on the Danong River at the same time, then the Japanese defense line would have been broken through.

"This is indeed a good way, and the other divisions are also looking for shallow places. Then the tank battalions of the divisions were ready. After the battle began. The tank battalion was responsible for breaking through the enemy's lines. For the offensive of the infantry, open the gap. Sun Changwu ordered.

Since the water of the Dangweng River is not deep, there is no need to forcibly erect a pontoon bridge. Big deal, wait until the battle is won, and the sappers will repair the bridge between Myawady and Mae Sot for vehicles to cross.

"Yes, Captain." Several division commanders replied.

There is no doubt that in this battle, the powerful armored forces of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will come in handy. No matter how strong the defense line is, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the steel torrent of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The tracks of tanks and armored vehicles can easily crush the defense line of the Japanese * themselves to smithereens, and those Japanese * themselves to crush into meat sauce.

"After breaking through the Japanese defense line, the armored brigade did not have to entangle with the Japanese army, and attacked directly to the east, until it reached the mountainous area in the east, cut off the road, and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army. This time, Lao Tzu wants to eat all the more than 200,000 Japanese-Thai allied troops on the east bank of the Dangweng River. Sun Changwu said viciously.

If the armored brigade can break through the Japanese defense line in time, and then cut off the retreat of the Japanese army. Then, the more than 200,000 Japanese-Thai troops deployed in this basin have indeed become turtles in the urn.

It can be said that if this battle can be won, the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will have already won half of the battle in Thailand. The next Japanese army and the Thai* army will undoubtedly be much easier to fight.

"Yes, Commander. However, we need some infantry to cooperate. Major General Hu Cuiming said.

"Yes, from the 1st Division and the 2nd Division, one regiment each will be drawn to cooperate with you." Sun Changwu said.

"Yes, Captain." Hu Cuiming nodded. He believes that the possibility of accomplishing the tasks assigned by Sun Changwu is undoubtedly very great.

"Order the artillery of the various divisions, ready to prepare for fire. Before attacking, let the Japanese himself taste the power of our shells! Sun Changwu ordered.
