Chapter 536

No matter what, the retreat of the Fourth Division has become a fact. Chiang Mai was fully occupied by the Fifty Division in the evening, but Gao Xijiang, as the commander, was not happy at all.

The Japanese ran away for no reason. They spent several days preparing for various battles and planning attacks... As a result, even a Japanese man encountered him. Although he took down Chiang Mai, it felt as uncomfortable as a punch to cotton.

In fact, the main policy of this battle is to eliminate the enemy's living forces, and occupying the target position is second. After all, it is not a person who comes to Siam to grab territory. As long as the Japanese army eyeing the Siam border is eliminated, they can only move smoothly through the westward journey to southern Myanmar.

It’s a pity that the 4th Division, the ghost spirit, had oil on the soles of the 4th Division, ran first, which made the soldiers of the 50th Division have the strength but nowhere to use it, which was extremely embarrassing.

On the other side, because of his warm mountain position, both sides stopped and did not move, because the continuous mountain fire caused by the bombing burned for several days, and the radius of dozens of kilometers was covered by fire.

Ordinary people are currently particularly fragile in this unattainable natural force. The 200th Division did not dare to step into the fire area at all. Instead, they retreated more than ten kilometers to avoid being affected by the fire.

The Japanese army retreated in full swing because of his warm mountain position. The highest peak of this mountain with a few kilometers is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, but it is far away from the wildfire area ahead.

Although the 200th Division could not attack due to the fire, the US bombers were not affected at all. When the sky was dawn in the morning, the roar of the aircraft engine would resound as the warm mountain. The bombs became a must-have breakfast for the Japanese every day. It would be unpleasant to not eat a few tons.

Faced with the increasing number of casualties every day, the Japanese could only look for various caves on the mountain as cover, or hide in some hidden forests and wait for the bombing to end.

There are only two roads in front of Jiro Kimura. You either leave here before the enemy has not made a large attack and rush to Nampang to join the Fourth Division. Or try your best to defend the mountain in He Wenhuo Mountain, block the enemy's road to the south and wait for reinforcements from the rear.

It is obviously not Jiro Kimura's character to run away like this. He finally moved from the rear to the front line to achieve great things. He failed to fight two decent battles and ran away with his tail. How can he say anything to the military in the future?

Fortunately, the wildfire did not distinguish between the enemy and us. While causing losses to himself, it also blocked the pace of the 200th Division, and gave him at least several days to arrange defense.

So Jiro Kimura seized the time to ask the soldiers to build positions and strengthen fortifications. While urging the Siam government to send reinforcements to support the front line as soon as possible, especially the Fourth Division, which made him so angry that he ordered him to immediately move closer to the warm mountain and fight the enemy with the front line troops.

Kimura's idea was... Since Chiang Mai has been occupied by the Chinese, there is only one Nampang City and Indah Mountain left in the northwest border of Siam. If you retreat, you are afraid that the Chinese will continue to advance to the south.

Nanbangcheng does not have a natural defense like Wunengshan. If you are really hit by the opponent, the situation will definitely be worse than it is now, so it is very necessary to continue to guard Wunengshan.

But even though that is the case, the actual situation did not develop as Kimura thought. The US aircraft had penetrated deep into Siam and began to bomb the important industrial areas and logistics lines in the rear on a large scale. The Siamese were unreliable and could not expect them to fight together.

Now the Siam Defense Forces are all gathering in Lampang, and the Fourth Division has to choose to advance on foot because the railway tracks are destroyed by enemy bombers. Heavy weapons such as artillery have more impact on the marching speed, so they have only walked to Chanakun, 150 kilometers from Lampang City.

When Kimura's order was delivered to Masaro Masaru, the guy threw it to the side without even looking at it, as if he did not give the commander face at all.

In his opinion, since the former chose to continue to stick to his warm mountain, there is nothing to say. This decision is like being sentenced to death. Is there any other way to survive?

Judging from the entire situation of the war, Jiro Kimura and his position had been exposed to the left and right attacks of the Chinese, and with the continuous bombing of the Americans, it was probably difficult to guarantee the logistics route. When they surrounded him, they would be unable to escape. At that time, would they hide in the mountains and eat grass every day?

It’s not that we can’t defend ourselves, but that this is not very meaningful. We have now lost our advantage over the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and it is basically unlikely to try to regain the lost territory of Myanmar.

Now they are helping others defend on the land of Siam. If they don’t learn to be smarter and pull the enemy, they will instead be brave enough to get the most. Isn’t this a tiger?

Judging from the current strength of the Chinese, even if they fight with them, they will kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 by themselves. Don’t forget that they have a lot of air support. In addition to losing a large amount of troops in vain, they have not changed much to this situation.

Why do you have to fight head-on? A bad mind? It is better to use Siam's vast strategy to leap forward or retreat slowly to drag down the other party.

It’s a pity that Kimura doesn’t look down on this plan at all. Since this guy is going to die, Masaro Masao will not be able to control it. Whoever is happy to go for such an unreasonable battle? Anyway, he won’t go there, so he can’t even think of dragging the Fourth Division into the water. That’s no different from dying.

So Masaro Masaro of Masaro replied to Kimura Jiro, saying that they had encountered US bombing halfway and suffered heavy equipment losses and were collecting troops to count the casualties. On the other hand, he asked the main wing to continue to retreat south, without any intention of going to the northwest because of his warm mountain.

...

"ちくしょう! This damn Masaro Masaro of the Rabashi is unreliable at the critical moment. As expected, everyone in the Osaka Division is a coward!"

He tore the telegram into pieces and Jiro Kimura gasped and roared fiercely. He was anxious when he waited for two days without waiting for the Fourth Division.

The wildfires in front of him have basically stopped, which means that the Chinese attack is about to attack again. Now, except for the 30th Mixed Brigade, all he has left is the remnants of the 29th Brigade and a fairly full chariot brigade.

With more than 12,000 troops with low morale stationed in Wuneng Mountain, and there was no support or supply in the future, the situation was already very serious.

The worst thing is that the enemy's 200th Division has begun to take action, and the 50th Division in Chiang Mai is also moving here. The other party obviously wants to come and completely annihilate all the Japanese troops stationed here.
