Chapter 510 Attack (Continued)

In the end, three b109s shot down ten of the twelve bombers within fifteen minutes, and the remaining two were forced to land on the wastelands in Siam with injuries. Four crew members eventually died and one seriously injured. This was an unprecedented defeat by the Royal Siam Air Force. There had never been a complete defeat before, like this time, the entire squadron was wiped out in an integral manner.

The only thing that made the Siamese people feel lucky is that the pilots of the Siamese Air Force finally flew the plane. You should know that flying in Siam is a recognized aristocratic industry, and you have no right to fly into the sky without any identity background.

As for how to report the lost planes, this is no longer a question they have to consider, because what they are about to face is a total of 50,000 angry French Army.

The French Indochina Saigon Motorized Infantry Division was a unit composed of pure French people, from the lieutenant general division commander to the chefs of the kitchen squad, and even the logistics platoons were all in service French people.

The members of this motorized infantry division were all officers and soldiers who were captured in the early stages of the war. Many of them participated in Dunkirk's bloody counterattack. They were actually elites of the French Army, the kind who could confront the German Army head-on.

They were the Standing Defense Army organized before the war, and most of the soldiers were volunteer soldiers who signed long-term service contracts. Being a soldier was already a means of supporting their families. These people were only twenty-one years old when they joined the army and had no other skills to make a living except for war. Usually, these people would serve in the army until they were thirty or forty years old, and then return to their hometown with savings and a retirement payment. They were lucky enough to find a job to farm, and if they lived long enough, they could still get a pension from the government.

However, many people are used to life in the army and cannot accept the ordinary days in the countryside, so they choose to run out to be mercenaries. Therefore, there are the most French people among international mercenaries, the second place is the British, and the third place is a famous fighting nation.

Not only the Germans, but even their President Betan believed that these people were a potential threat, and whether they were released into society or reorganization, they would cause a series of trouble. It just so happened that the French Asian colonies were threatened by force from Japan, and the German head of state was also ready to launch his Asian strategy. So this group of soldiers had the best place to go. Since they loved France so much, then go and defend the colonies of their motherland.

Commander Lieutenant General Brion learned from the radio that Siam had launched an attack on the French Indochina Federation. The bombers of the Siam Air Force crossed the border and launched a sudden attack on Shishufeng, the capital of Banteimigi Province. More than 200 French officers and soldiers were killed in the attack.

The Governor asked Admiral Degu to announce to the entire colonial people on radio that the French Indochina Federation immediately entered a state of war. At the same time, the Admiral also formally declared war on the Kingdom of Siam with the power granted by the French Republic to represent the French Indochina Federal Government.

When the command was received, the Saigon Motorized Infantry Division was moving to the Battambang Province, and the vast terrain of the central plain of Cambodia was very suitable for mechanized troops for training. What made the Lieutenant General happy was that the heavy equipment provided by the troops had not yet been available for the train, and if the order was ordered to come half a day later, it would definitely lead to a big chaos.

The situation is much better now. He just needs to gather the officers and soldiers who have dispersed half of the city of Battambang and stuff them into the carriage. If everything goes well, they will be able to arrive at Shishufeng before midnight. Judging from the communications received on the radio, the French troops in Bantei Mianji Province have begun to move towards the border. If the Saigon Division does not speed up, they may not be able to catch up with the first wave of attacks.

"We have been doing five kilometers. Can you take a break?" Lieutenant Barr took off the towel around his neck and wiped his head with sweat.

"Okay, take a ten-minute break." Captain Daniel took off Adrian's helmet from his head and wiped his sweat, then untied the kettle from his back.

"This damn weather, it has not rained for a week." Lieutenant Barr was filled with some warm water that had been sunburned.

"This weather is suitable for war, don't complain, Lieutenant. You just arrived here, so I don't blame you. If you taste the rainy season here, you will miss this sunny day." Daniel put the plug in the kettle and inserted it back into the pot cover on the back.

This is a standard colonial infantry platoon, with half of the soldiers coming from the local area and the other half being local diaspora.
