848 The devils want to save themselves
Afterwards, the four battalions of the regiment immediately split up and launched operations around the Siamese capital.
Rumble!
One night later, a violent explosion was heard from the northwest of the Siamese capital, and flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the night sky.
In the headquarters of the Japanese 25th Army, the old Japanese soldier Yamashita Fengwen heard the noise and immediately rushed to the headquarters and looked towards the northwest.
"Baga! Our ammunition depot!"
The old devil Yamashita Fengwen roared angrily.
He had already guessed what was happening by the flames and explosions rising from the northwest.
Hours earlier, he had received an emergency call from the defenders of the ammunition depot at his headquarters.
They said that an expeditionary force was attacking their ammunition depot and requested support.
But unfortunately, at this time, Yamashita Tomoyuki received more than just this one call for help.
The airport outside the city, their supply convoys and other places all called in, saying that they were attacked by the expeditionary force.
At this time, the old Japanese devil Yamashita Tomoyuki only had the last regiment of the 56th Division with less than 3,000 Japanese devils in his hands.
This is the most elite force he currently controls.
The remaining vassal soldiers are basically fence-sitters, unless they are supervised by their soldiers.
Otherwise, don't expect these vassal troops to be willing to fight a tough battle with the expeditionary force.
As this ammunition depot exploded, the old Japanese soldier Yamashita Tomoyuki received several more pieces of bad news.
"Yamano-kun, is there any way to kill this Chinese army outside the city?"
Yamashita Tomoyuki stared at the night sky illuminated by the fire, gritted his teeth and asked a Japanese major general beside him.
He can see it now.
The expeditionary force that appeared outside the city had no intention of attacking the city.
Instead, they chose to attack their important targets outside the city first.
The old Japanese soldier Yamashita Tomoyuki really didn't want to see a group of people attacking their important military facilities outside the city so unscrupulously.
Otherwise, the losses they will suffer will be too great.
Whether it is ammunition depots, material supply convoys, airports, or other military factories, clothing factories and other factories, they are all producing war materials for the Japanese.
Supporting their 25th Army, they continued to fight this battle.
Without the support of these local military factories and plants, the Japanese 25th Army would have long since cut off its supply of war materials.
It is simply impossible to sustain such a high-intensity battle with the Allies.
"Commander, the Chinese troops outside the city are not numerous, only about 2,000 men.
It should be a regiment of the New 1st Division under Ye Qingshan.
But their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and they are equipped with many tanks and vehicles.
Even so, we must gather all our forces unless we can lure them into a trap.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to annihilate them."
The Japanese major general shook his head helplessly.
Their military strength in the rear was too weak at this time.
It is impossible to defeat the powerful New 1st Division and 1st Regiment.
"Baga, when will the Fifth Guards be back?"
After listening to this, Yamashita Tomoyuki knew that what the Japanese major general said was right.
Now he could only hope that the 5th Guards Regiment that he had transferred back from the Guards Division in the western mountains of Siam could return as soon as possible.
In this way, the strength in their rear area would not be so weak.
"Sir, tell the truth.
Even the 5th Guards Regiment returned.
But by that time, the main force of the New 1st Division of the Chinese Army should have arrived.
By then, we will have the strength of two regiments, even with the assistance of those vassal armies.
It is also likely that it will be difficult to resist the Chinese New First Division.
I have learned about the background of this New 1st Division. It is the most elite infantry division in the expeditionary force under Ye Qingshan.
When they arrive, the situation will be even more unfavorable for us.
Commander, we must change the situation on the battlefield.
If things continue like this, we will definitely lose this battle."
The Japanese major general had a sad face and told the truth to the old Japanese soldier Yamashita Tomoyuki.
When the old Japanese soldier Yamashita Tomoyuki heard what the other party said, his face became very ugly.
The other party's intention was very clear. They were questioning the combat plan implemented by Yamashita Tomoyuki and directly challenging Yamashita Tomoyuki's authority.
If it had happened before, the old devil Yamashita Tomoyuki probably wouldn't have listened.
But now, reality keeps slapping him in the face.
This also allowed Yamashita Tomoyuki to see the reality clearly and understand that although what the Japanese major general said was harsh, it was true.
They are now dying a slow death.
Once the main force of the New 1st Division commanded by Lu Dahai arrives here.
That will be the time when their 25th Army will be completely destroyed.
At this time, they really need to change their plans and fight to the death. Perhaps there is still a last chance.
"Yamano-kun, if you have any ideas, just tell me."
The old devil Yamashita Fengwen said in a deep voice.
When the Japanese major general saw this, he immediately felt relieved. He knew that the old Japanese soldier Yamashita Fengwen was willing to listen to his advice.
"Commander, to be honest, our troops were unable to defend Ban Wu Prefecture a few days ago.
When we were trying to get the New 1st Division of the Chinese Army to move north smoothly, I and the staff had already done some simulations.
The probability of our army winning this battle is less than 30%.
And the navy's group of idiots are unable to come to support our transition.
If we lose, we won’t even have a chance to turn things around.”
The Japanese major general's words touched the heart of the old Japanese soldier Yamashita Tomoyuki.
If they lose this battle, they won't even have the chance to escape by boat. The entire Indochina Peninsula will become a huge cage for them.
