Chapter 397 Steady progress
While the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was winning victories and constantly heading into the city of Bangkok, the morale of the Japanese army was greatly affected by the continuous failures.
The defense line was constantly broken by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, and the casualties of the troops were getting bigger and bigger, and the defense zone was constantly being compressed, which made the morale of the Japanese army continue to decline.
"His Excellency Commander, the defense line of the 16th Infantry Regiment has been occupied by the Chinese. The 16th Regiment has suffered heavy losses. Now, they are retreating." A staff officer reported.
"His Excellency Commander, the 3rd Battalion of the 211th Infantry Regiment was completely wiped out by the Chinese. Our two streets in the north of Bangkok have completely fallen into the hands of the Chinese." Another staff officer reported.
Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigeto's face became increasingly ugly. After the battle started, he had never received good news. It was news that all the positions were captured by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and which unit was wiped out.
This also made Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku know that the current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to them. Although the battle continues, their troops are still persisting. However, he doesn't know how much time they can last. Anyway, he knows that the plan to use the defense line in the city of Bangkok to severely damage the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army can be considered completely bankrupt. Next, as the troops' losses become greater and greater, they will be completely defeated soon. This has become inevitable for the Japanese army.
"Commander, the current situation is very bad for us! In less than a day, our troops were defeated step by step. Now one-fifth of the city has been lost. If this continues, we may not be able to hold on for a few days." Lieutenant General Liangfu, last month, looked gloomy.
As the urban area they lost became larger and larger, their defense areas would be continuously compressed. In the end, the attacks they encountered would become larger and larger, and the final result would be to be completely eliminated by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
"Commander, the Chinese are really amazing. I went to the front line and witnessed their attacks. I felt that their tactics were much more advanced than ours. Once their attacks were frustrated, they would call for artillery support and air support frantically. Relying on powerful artillery fire and bombing, we were completely smashed from school. Under their tactical strikes, we could not resist their attacks at all. As a result, our defense line was constantly being broken through. The casualties of the troops were getting bigger and bigger." Lieutenant General Machijiri Yoshiki said. There was still some fear on his face. It was obviously scared by the tactics and powerful attack power of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
Each of them, the Japanese generals, had been through decades of ranks. Many of them participated in the Russo-Japanese War that year. They can be regarded as having experienced many battle formations.
Before, before fighting with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, they might have despised the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. They believed that although the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had advanced weapons with the support of the Americans, they were actually vulnerable.
After all, on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army has also defeated countless Chinese troops using German and American weapons. In their eyes, there is no difference between the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and those Chinese troops.
However, now they finally knew. They were all wrong. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was much more powerful than they imagined. Not only in terms of weapons, it was more advanced, but also in terms of firepower. On the tactical level, it also surpassed the Japanese army. Although the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination, the joint tank coordination, the air-ground coordination, these tactics were still a little immature, but they also showed extremely powerful combat power. At least, when the Japanese army faced the tactics of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, they were defeated step by step and suffered heavy losses.
After hearing Lieutenant General Machijiri Lyoki's words, everyone was silent. Because they found that they had no way to refute Lieutenant General Machijiri Lyoki. The strength of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was really terrible. What was even more terrifying than the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was their learning ability and their progress speed. If the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army continued to develop like this, it would probably be soon, and the Japanese army would not even have any way to deal with them. Of course, even now, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was not something they could deal with.
"You guys, the Chinese are indeed very powerful. However, we have no choice but to continue to hold our position. I will send a telegram to the commander, asking to send reinforcements to reinforce us as soon as possible." Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku said.
The other Japanese generals nodded repeatedly. They also knew that there was no way. Now they were waiting for death, and they could live one more day, just one day. When they would be killed by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, it depends on the decision of the great god Amaterasu.
"Boom!"
An M4 medium tank was driving on a street. More than a dozen soldiers followed the tanks. They were vigilantly looking for possible threats.
The tank's turret is also spinning. Once they find a target, they will immediately open fire and eliminate the threat in the cradle as much as possible.
In the distance, there were constant sounds of gunfire. This was the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which was launching an attack on the city of Bangkok. Before the armored troops entered the battle, the attacks of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were very smooth. Even if we encountered some resistance occasionally, it was not serious and was quickly shattered.
After the armored troops entered the city, they even gave the anti-Japanese and national salvation army a pair of wings. Faced with tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese army's blocking seemed even more fragile.
"Sir, the Chinese are here, there is a tank." A Japanese soldier reported to a lieutenant officer of the Japanese army with a pale face.
"Order all units to be prepared for combat. Anti-tank guns are ready." The Japanese lieutenant ordered.
A 37mm anti-tank gun was dragged to the position and aimed at the m4 medium tank that was slowly moving in.
"Fire!" the Japanese lieutenant ordered.
"Dong!"
The anti-tank gun opened fire, and a 37mm armor-piercing bomb flew towards the m4 medium tank.
However, due to the angle, this armor-piercing bomb did not penetrate the tank's armor, but instead bounced away.
This also made the crew members in the tank scared them to pee their pants.
After reacting, they immediately launched a counterattack. Before the Japanese anti-tank gun was fired, they destroyed it first.
Then, a one-sided massacre was slaughtered. With the assistance of tanks, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army easily broke through the Japanese defense line and eliminated all the Japanese troops stationed in this position.
