The fire started in the afternoon and lasted until midnight. The starry sky seemed to be dyed orange red, and the entire large forest south of Ban Rongkun was shrouded in flames.

The spread of the fire was so fast that the heat wave could be felt several kilometers away. In order not to affect their own side, the Gaoji people were forced to order a suspension of the attack and ordered all units of the 200th Division to quickly evacuate from the fire area. If you're nearby, you might have to get in by yourself.

So far, several companies that arrived near the Japanese army for reconnaissance earlier have lost contact.

When the situation became like this, everyone did not expect it. The soldiers hurriedly cut down trees and dug holes to temporarily create a fire protection belt several kilometers long, so as to prevent their own positions from being ignited by the fire.

But the little devils on the opposite side will be miserable, the flames basically set their entire area on fire.Those who have encountered wildfires must know that in the face of the unstoppable raging fire, if the distance is not opened in advance, the thick smoke and high temperature will make a person faint or even suffocate in just a few minutes, and the casualty may only be in an instant .

……

"Aso, you trash! Why didn't you take them down sooner!?"

Because he warmed up the Japanese Army Headquarters... Jiro Kimura asked angrily as the veins on his forehead popped up.

"Hey..." The head of the Aso Brigade standing in front of him was sweating coldly, allowing the other party to scold him head and face, but he didn't dare to raise his head and say no.

Because of his negligence in command, the two regiments withdrawn from the front line did not leave the battlefield immediately, but were completely lost in the bombing of the US aircraft, and were completely burned by a fire. Few people escaped .

"Tell me the casualties of your 29th Brigade immediately!"

The atmosphere at the scene dropped to freezing point, and Aso didn't dare to breathe, so he had to lower his head and confess honestly:

"Hey... The 59th Regiment lost more than half of the enemy's bombing in the afternoon, and the 61st Regiment was besieged by wildfires in the forest and lost contact... The Black Island Battalion has withdrawn to Yinta Nuanshan, and is gathering other soldiers who retreated. Missing people... There are more than 900 casualties..."

"Gomi Noro! You should apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Jiro Kimura was so angry that he almost drew his sword and stabbed people. Doesn't the 29th Brigade have no other combat troops except the chariot brigade?Those are two regiments, [-] imperial soldiers, just folded on the battlefield without saying a word, can it not make people feel distressed?
"Hey... Please calm down, General." Aso bent down, his head almost buried on the ground,

In fact, he didn't expect this to happen. The US military's incendiary bombs actually triggered a wildfire, which was simply beyond the control of manpower. 80.00% of the troops' battle losses were caused by this fire.

"Go back immediately and organize the defense line. If Nuanshan is lost because of him, you don't need to commit suicide, I will personally..."

"Commander ni report する!"

Before Jiro Kimura could finish cursing, a communications soldier rushed in from outside the door, and before he could even catch his breath, he began to report:

"Report...Report to Your Excellency, Commander. Just received news from the Fourth Division. The head of the Bachang Division...let...abandon the Chiang Mai defense line and ordered all troops to start retreating south..."

"Hey... Nani!?"

Jiro Kimura staggered and almost fell, staring at the communication soldier with wide eyes in disbelief: "You...what are you talking about? The fourth division has withdrawn?"

"Hey, they have already marched to Lamphun City, but they have no plans to station and deploy defenses. They called our department to ask if they need to go to Nanbang together?" The communication soldier replied honestly.

"……idiot!"

Jiro Kimura's face was flushed with anger, and it took him a long time to hold back a word. At this moment, his mind was blank, and he no longer knew what language to use to vent the anger in his heart.

How dare they retreat without informing themselves! ?Did that bastard at the racecourse eat the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?Aren't you afraid of going to court-martial afterwards?

It turned out that as early as daytime, US bombers visited the [-]th Division stationed in Chiang Mai one step earlier. The bomb fell like hail and plowed the entire city of Chiang Mai, directly blowing up most of the buildings. Fragmented, several surrounding strongholds were razed to the ground.

Fortunately, Baba Masahiro arranged the main force around Chiang Mai, gathered the troops together without a brain twitch, and was lucky to escape the catastrophe.

But the old fritter at the horse farm soon realized that what happened now was just an appetizer, and the enemy's attack would definitely come within a few hours.

He hangs alone in Chiang Mai with only one division. The 29th and 30th brigades are more than 100 kilometers away from Yinta Nuanshan, and the Siamese minions are hiding farther behind in Lampang City and dare not go forward. If you are surrounded, you will be forced to die.

And looking at the posture of the Yankee Air Force, I can think about it with my ass, because he will definitely have more headaches at Nuanshan, so don't think about reinforcements. Maybe it won't be long before Kimura Jiro will ask himself to go to support them.

The result was true. Within an hour, the battle report came from the western front. The U.S. military used a large number of napalm bombs.

In this situation, it's a fart to stick to it. I have no backup and no reserves on my side, so what if I wait for ten days and a half months?Circle people and kill them slowly?In the end, Chiang Mai will still be captured by the enemy.

It's meaningless not to say, and it's still helping the Siamese monkeys to defend their territory. Why should our Imperial Japanese Army pay their lives in vain.

Baba Masahiro immediately ordered the entire army to retreat in the direction of Lampang, but before withdrawing, he also planted a large number of landmines on the traffic arteries south of Chiang Mai in order to delay the enemy's pursuit.

Such an order naturally received the full support of all the soldiers of the Fourth Division. They packed up all the supplies and equipment in less than an hour, and marched towards Nanbang without stopping. The speed was so fast that even Baba Masao was dumbfounded.

If the survivors of the Fifth Division were present now, they would definitely have the heart to kill if they could see this scene.Back then in Taunggyi, if you grandsons acted faster, we wouldn't let our Fifth Division be surrounded and wiped out alive.

The soldiers in Osaka don't have so much mental burden. Fighting is fighting, and you have to run if you have to run. Do you want to stay here and wait to die?
What?Bushido spirit?Imperial honor?That's bullshit, we men in Osaka don't believe that!

Most of the other Xiaobaga are living and dying for the emperor, fighting for the emperor all their lives, but the chicken thief Osaka soldiers secretly formulated the "three don't principles", that is, not to participate in unreasonable battles, not to pay for meaningless sacrifices, Enemies at the end of the road do not need to be chased.

This "doctrine" is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Osaka soldier. They are not ashamed but proud, and it will gradually affect their commanders at all levels, so that the high-level Japanese army changed countless commanders for them The head of the division and the division will not help, but will be slowly led astray by these guys.
