The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 772
Since the Japanese army has been on the march and has no time to deal with the Thai army, the Thai army took a lot of advantage in the previous stage.

They didn't expect that the Japanese army suddenly rushed towards them, and they panicked immediately, and the troops that harassed the Japanese army scattered and fled in all directions.

The Japanese army had a clear goal, and they did not love to fight. They drove away the Thai troops who came to attack and harassed them, and continued to march northward.

Gao Jiu knew that there was a Japanese army going to attack the Golden Triangle. He must eat up this Japanese army and teach those Japanese troops who planned to attack the Golden Triangle a hard lesson.

Gao Jiu sent telegrams one after another, asking Tianchuan to send the Taohuashan guerrillas who stayed in the Golden Triangle into Thailand.

Gao Jiu commanded the Vietnamese guerrillas to cut off the retreat of the Japanese army. The Thai army entangled the Japanese army and reported the movement of the Japanese army at any time.The 30th and 38th Divisions of the Yuanzheng Army entered Thailand and joined the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu led the Taohuashan guerrillas and rushed directly to Thailand.

After receiving Gao Jiu's telegram, the Thai general reported that the Japanese army did not flee directly to Vietnam, but entered the hinterland of Thailand.

He immediately mobilized troops to intercept. At this time, the troops on hand were stationed in various places, and he ordered the troops of the regiment closest to the Japanese army to intercept the Japanese army.

Their main purpose is not to destroy the Japanese army, but to monitor the actions of the Japanese army and report the Japanese army's course of action to their superiors at any time.

The troops of the 18th Division commanded by Yamashita Fengwen suddenly turned to the north, with the purpose of disrupting Gao Jiu's combat deployment.

When they encountered the Thai army, they immediately launched a fierce attack to defeat it, and then they did not care about fighting, accelerated their marching speed, and continued to move forward.

Unexpectedly, these Thai troops would actually stalk the Japanese army indiscriminately.

Yamashita Fengwen knew that if he didn't get rid of these Thai troops quickly, Gao Jiu would have a clear view of their course of action.

Therefore, he decided to annihilate these Thai troops first, and then changed his marching route again to avoid Gao Jiu's siege.

The fighting power of the Japanese army is extremely powerful, especially the 18th Division of the Japanese army, which is worthy of being an ace unit.

After a regiment of the Thai army rushed to the battlefield, the two sides fought.

The Japanese army made a brief artillery preparation, and then launched a full-line attack.

The Thai army could not resist at all, and they were quickly defeated.

The Japanese army pursued and fought fiercely, and most of the Thai troops in this regiment were killed or injured. They panicked and fled in all directions.

Seeing that the Thai army was fleeing, the Japanese army immediately gathered their troops and continued to advance.

The Thai army was also very tenacious. Although it suffered heavy losses, seeing the Japanese army retreating, the head of the Thai army gathered a group of soldiers, followed them up, and kept reporting the Japanese army's movements to the Thai general.

The head of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army saw that the Thai army was still unable to get rid of, so he secretly left an infantry squadron behind, quietly ambushed, and the brigade continued to march.

The head of the Thai army only cared about following the Japanese marching brigade, and did not guard against the Japanese ambush. He was shot and died on the spot. His soldiers also suffered heavy losses and fled in all directions.

This squadron of the Japanese army withdrew quickly and caught up with the Japanese marching brigade.

Seeing that he finally got rid of the tracking of the Thai army, Yamashita Fengwen led the troops to continue to the north for five kilometers, and then turned to the southeast, trying to escape back to Vietnam from there.

The Thai general lost track of the Japanese army, and while sending troops to search for the Japanese army, he reported the situation to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu was commanding all walks of life to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. He was scratching his head when he heard that there was no trace of the Japanese army. He had to order the troops to stop advancing. He sent a reconnaissance plane to northern Thailand to conduct reconnaissance while waiting for the Thai general to arrive. information.

Golden Triangle.

After careful deployment, Tian Chuan was ready for battle, but the Japanese army had not arrived for a long time. He was a little puzzled, so he sent a telegram to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu told him that the Japanese army had withdrawn and the alarm could be lifted, so that Tian Chuan could immediately restore the normal life and work order of the Golden Triangle, so as not to affect the economic development of the Golden Triangle.

Tagawa quickly ordered the alarm to be lifted.

In the trenches, and in various other fortifications, there are militiamen in steel helmets everywhere.They were all nervous and excited, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

Unexpectedly, everyone received the news that the Japanese army would not come.

They were both disappointed and fortunate, and they talked a lot, returned to their jobs, and started a normal working life.

Gao Jiu waited for a full four hours, but there was still no accurate information from the Japanese army.

He thought that he could not wait any longer. After analysis and judgment, the Japanese army should have fled back to Vietnam.

So Gao Jiu ordered the Thai army to search in this direction, and the reconnaissance plane also carried out reconnaissance in northern Thailand. At the same time, he ordered the troops to move towards the northern part of Thailand.

Yamashita Fengwen led the Japanese army to constantly change the direction of the march. In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, they kept radio silence on the road.

So far, their approach has been successful without any interception.

Suddenly there was the sound of planes flying in the sky. The Japanese army was well-trained, and everyone quickly hid before the officers gave orders.

The reconnaissance plane flew over and found no trace of the Japanese army.Due to the complex terrain in this area, the pilot of the reconnaissance plane made a circle and flew back.

The Japanese army was still well concealed, and the reconnaissance plane did not find anything, and then flew away.

The Thai general received a telegram from Gao Jiu, so he sent a telegram to the garrison and local administrative agencies in northern Thailand, asking them to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army.

This morning, the vanguard of the Japanese army was marching in the jungle when they suddenly found two local Thais.

When the two Thais saw the Japanese soldiers, they turned around and ran away in fright.

The Japanese army didn't know the surrounding situation, worried about exposing the target, and dared not shoot, so they chased after the two Thais.

The two Thais ran away desperately. Because they were too panicked, one Thai tripped over a tree root, and the other hurried to pull him.

Seeing that the Japanese army had rushed over, he had no choice but to give up and continue to escape.

The Thai who fell on the ground saw the Japanese army approaching, and waved the machete in his hand, trying to prevent the Japanese army from approaching.

Several Japanese soldiers stepped forward and stabbed him to death with bayonets.

The rest of the Japanese army continued to track the escaped Thai. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army saw that the woods in front were getting sparser, and then there was an open area in front of them, with many paddy fields.There is another village ahead.

The Thai fled towards the village.

The Japanese squadron leader who led the team knew that the situation was not good. If the Thai fled into the village, the whereabouts of the Japanese army would be exposed.

In order to prevent the worst from happening, he led his men to continue chasing the Thai villager, and at the same time ordered the troops to surround the village in front to prevent any villagers from escaping to report.

The Thai, fleeing desperately, soon approached the village.He shouted loudly while running: "The Japanese are coming, everyone run!"

Seeing that the target had been exposed, the Japanese squadron leader snatched a [-]-gun from a Japanese soldier, picked up the gun, aimed at the back of the Thai villager, and fired.

After the villagers were shot, they lay down in the paddy field directly.

When the villagers in the village heard the shouts and gunshots, they panicked immediately.

People with faster legs fled to the outside of the village, and other villagers also made a fuss and wanted to run outside.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army saw that the troops in charge of the outflanking had not yet formed a siege. He was worried that the villagers would reveal the whereabouts of the Japanese army, so he ordered to shoot and knocked down the villagers who had escaped from the village.

The Japanese army finally surrounded the village, and many villagers were besieged in the village.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army interrogated the villagers and learned that there were 175 villagers in this village.He counted the remaining villagers in the village, and asked the soldiers to count the villagers who were killed outside the village again, and found that at least six people were missing. He knew that the news of the Japanese army's appearance here would definitely be spread.

The Japanese squadron leader hurriedly reported this information to his superiors.

After Fengfu Yamashita received the report, he checked the map in a hurry and found that the terrain here was very bad. In front of him was the fast-flowing Oman River. To cross this river, he had to travel 15 kilometers upstream along the river. Bridge across the river.

If Gao Jiu knew the news that the Japanese army appeared here, he might send bombers to blow up the bridge, thus cutting off the way for the Japanese army to retreat directly to the north.

This area is a basin with high mountains on all sides. If the anti-Japanese army rushed over, the Japanese army would easily fall into a tight siege.

At this time, the Japanese army had gone through a long march, and the officers and soldiers were very tired. The large artillery had been discarded, and the ammunition and other supplies they carried were not much. They could not stand a big battle at all. .

The situation was very critical, and the head of the 18th Division and the regiment leaders all set their sights on Yamashita Fengwen.

Yamashita Fengwen is worthy of being a general, at this critical moment, he did not panic at all.

His eyes are firm, his face is calm, and he even has a relaxed smile.

He said: "It's nothing special. Now let me ask you a question. If you were Gao Jiu, how would you judge the direction of our army's actions?"

Yamashita Fengwen's calmness infected the generals of the Japanese army.They also calmed down, thought carefully, and then put forward their different opinions.

Although the opinions of the people are different, they agree on one thing, which is to return to Vietnam as soon as possible.

Yamashita Fengwen said: "Gao Jiu can think of everything you can think of. If we want to return to Vietnam directly, Gao Jiu will definitely deploy heavy troops to intercept our army along the way.

Once our army is entangled by the enemy, and a large number of enemy bombers fly over, what awaits us is a catastrophe.

So, none of these paths can be chosen, my opinion is..."

Having said that, he drew a line on the map with his finger and said, "Let's go west from here to attack the Golden Triangle. What do you think Gao Jiu will do?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again.

The head of the 18th Division said: "Your Excellency, our attack on the Golden Triangle, Gao Jiu really did not expect it, but with our strength, it is impossible to take down the Golden Triangle. Any way out."

Yamashita Fengwen said: "Everyone, don't worry."

Having said that, he continued to slide his finger along the line he had just drawn, and drew a new line, saying, "Do you all understand?"

Everyone understood and admired Yamashita Fengwen very much. The head of the 18th Division praised sincerely: "Your Excellency, Commander, I think it is feasible."

Everyone also expressed their agreement with Yamashita Fufumi's opinion.

Yamashita Fengwen said: "At present we have been discovered, now turn around immediately, march five kilometers, and then turn to the west. Let's start acting."

"Hay," the Japanese generals replied in unison, and soon led the troops to turn around and enter the forest again.

Yamashita Fengwen and the head of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army walked behind the team.

The head of the division asked: "How should those villagers deal with it?"

Yamashita Fengwen said: "Do you still need to ask me such a question?"

The head of the 18th Division nodded and said, "I understand."

He called the squadron leader of the squadron directly under the division headquarters, explained to him, and then left.

Soon after, there were gunshots and screams from the villagers in the village.

In order to prevent leaks, the Japanese army even massacred the villagers in the entire village.

The local garrison in Thailand has been notified by the Thai general.

They received reports from the villagers who had escaped, and immediately reported to their superiors the information about the presence of Japanese troops in this area.

The news reached the ears of the Thai general, and he reported the information to Gao Jiu.

After Gao Jiu received the telegram, he checked the map and judged that the Japanese army was going to cross the Oman River from there and continue to flee eastward to Vietnam.

He immediately ordered the Thai general to lead the troops to seize the upstream bridge and the downstream ferry to prevent the Japanese from crossing the river.

When necessary, he would send the air force to blow up the bridges upstream.

Now that he knew the position of the Japanese army and the marching direction, Gao Jiu sent out a series of telegrams, mobilizing various anti-Japanese troops to surround the place where the Japanese army was found.

After receiving Gao Jiu's order, the Air Force immediately dispatched a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance where the Japanese army was found, and searched along the Oman River Valley.

However, a full five hours passed, and the Japanese army did not appear in the Oman Valley, as if they disappeared out of thin air, without any trace.

Gao Jiu felt a little puzzled, so he discussed with Wang Zhankui and others, but no one knew where the Japanese army had gone.

Gao Jiu's attention was still on the Oman River. He continued to check upstream from the bridge, but he couldn't find any clues.

At the same time, Gao Jiu could not judge the movement of the Japanese army. On the one hand, he ordered the various units of the Anti-Japanese Army to continue to advance to the place where the Japanese army was found not long ago.

At the same time, he sent a telegram to Lin Yanni, asking her to mobilize intelligence agents in Thailand to search for the whereabouts of the Japanese army.
