On the evening of February 12, the sun set and the sound of gunfire gradually subsided. During the daytime battle, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army successfully broke through the defense line outside the Japanese army. Not only the defense line in the northern part of Bangkok was broken, but even the defense line in the eastern part was also broken.

The 42nd Japanese Infantry Regiment and the 212th Infantry Regiment were all surrounded and annihilated by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Similarly, the 5th Thai Army, which was stationed on the peripheral defense line, lost more than two-thirds of its troops. Most of these lost troops surrendered to the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Faced with the attack of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, they immediately chose to surrender when they had no choice.

The atmosphere of the Japanese Thai Front Command was very serious. Although before the battle began, they already knew that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was very powerful and difficult to deal with. However, now when they really fought, they knew how powerful the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was. In just one day, they lost two elite troops to not be rebels. If they continued at this speed, these Japanese Thai Front troops would not be able to hold on for much time at all!

In the combat room, Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigeto said nothing, but his face was so gloomy. He felt more and more that it was a very wrong decision to be driven on the shelves and serve as the commander of the Thai Front. This was just to die! The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was so powerful and they were seriously insufficient, how could they resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army? The final result was probably only one, that was, they were beaten and wiped out. And the outcome of Lieutenant General Nakamura Akito, the commander of the 18th Front, was undoubtedly his outcome!

When Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku felt very angry when he thought of this.

The other Japanese generals were silent. Similarly, they were also shocked by the powerful combat power shown by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Before, they would have thought to the extent that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was not very powerful. The reason why those Japanese troops were defeated was not because of how strong the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was, but because they were too weak themselves. But now it seems that they were too self-righteous.

"His Excellency Commander, during the daytime battle, the 42nd Infantry Regiment and the 212th Infantry Regiment were wiped out. The 3rd Chief of the 42nd Infantry Regiment, Kodaihara, committed suicide by separatism, and the 212th Infantry Regiment, Tushishi Yoshikazusa, was shot dead in a fierce battle with the Chinese. The 5th Army of the Thai Army lost more than two-thirds, and the remaining troops were already scared and were already overwhelmed." Major General Hanatani, the interim chief of staff of the Japanese Thai Front, reported.

"Baga!" Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku couldn't help but curse when he heard such news.

Obviously, the loss this time exceeded their expectations. Although they had expected it before, the outer defense line must be unable to withstand the attack of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. However, they did not expect that the outer defense line would be broken so quickly.

As for the commander of the 2nd Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Ryoo, and Lieutenant General Machijiriji, the commander of the 38th Army, they said nothing.

Last month, Lieutenant General Liangfu had no face to say more about this because he was slapped in the face. Before, he insisted that the outer defense line could last for three days. But now, in less than a day, he was broken through by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. The two elite infantry regiments he sent were completely wiped out. It can be said that his face had been swollen.

As for Lieutenant General Machijiri, he didn't know what to say. Although he guessed that the outer defense line would fall within one day. However, this was not a benefit for the Japanese army! After losing the outer defense line, the defense line in the city of Bangkok was directly exposed to the front of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army.

Originally, the Japanese Thai Front was somewhat confident in defending Bangkok. Although the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was very powerful, if the field battles, the firepower was completely at a disadvantage, and the military strength was not advantageous, the Japanese army had almost no chance of winning.

The Japanese army can use the city of Bangkok and the Anti-Japanese and National Rescue Army to fight street battles! As the capital of Thailand, one of the major cities in Southeast Asia. The urban area of ​​Thailand is very large. It is completely no problem to deploy 200,000 to 300,000 troops. The Japanese army can use the buildings in the city of Bangkok to build defense lines, and then rely on these defense lines to consume the vitality of the Anti-Japanese and National Rescue Army, causing the Anti-Japanese and National Rescue Army to suffer heavy losses.

When other Japanese reinforcements arrive, they will be able to launch a counterattack in one fell swoop and defeat the anti-Japanese and national salvation army.

It can be said that the Japanese army's plan is very good. Unfortunately, the ideal is full, but the reality is skinny. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army easily broke through the Bangkok's outer defense line with sharp attacks. It also made their plan look like a joke. They are already uncertain whether the city's defense line built painstakingly can withstand the attack of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army's such strong combat power should not be too laborious to crush their defense line.

"You guys, it seems that the Chinese are even more powerful than we thought before! Next, this battle will be even harder to fight." Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku said.

"Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese are indeed very powerful. However, we have no other choice. There is no other way except to stick to the defense line in Bangkok City and fight against the Chinese people." Lieutenant General Yoshifu said last month.

Although the other generals were unwilling to admit it, everyone knew that this was the case. Now they were in Bangkok, and the north and east of Bangkok were under the control of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. To the west is the Chao Phraya River and to the south is the sea. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army's aviation team controlled these two directions. Not only did it prevent reinforcements from entering Bangkok, but they were unable to escape from Bangkok.

It can be said that so many of them are completely trapped in Bangkok. The only way to survive is to hold on to Bangkok and resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Apart from this, there is no other way.

"You guys, what Jun said last time is completely correct. Now we have no other choice. Apart from sticking to Bangkok and defeating Zhianran, there is no other way to live. From now on, each tribe must hold its own position. Without the order to retreat, even if the whole body is broken, we must hold its position. God Amaterasu will bless us. The hegemony of the Ohira* Empire will definitely not fail." Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku ordered.

In the desperate situation, I have no other way than to work hard these days.
