Chapter 503: Stealing chickens will not lose rice

The headquarters of the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng and Major General Chen Qi, watched the fighter planes flying over their heads, and smiled on their faces. Last night, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment were besieged, which made them both worried. If the besieged troops were not able to hold on, once they were completely wiped out by the Japanese army, the consequences would be unimaginable. This would make the 2nd Army experience a heavy defeat as soon as the Battle of Indochina was launched.

However, fortunately, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment remained well-known for the elite troops. Even in such a critical situation, it still resisted the Japanese attack and caused huge casualties to the Japanese army. This means that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had already gained the upper hand in this battle.

"Chief of the Army, Chief of Staff. Telegram from the 2nd Armored Brigade." A communication officer reported.

Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng took the telegram and couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment fought very well last night. Although they lost nearly 100 tanks and armored vehicles, there were more than 1,000 casualties. However, the losses he caused to the enemy were at least ten times his own losses." Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng said with a smile.

In war, there will inevitably be casualties. The key is whether these casualties are worth it. It can cause more than ten times or even more casualties to the enemy than its own. Then, it is undoubtedly worth it to pay these casualties.

"Well, if it weren't for the siege of Japan himself and the loss of a large number of tanks and armored vehicles due to the violent artillery attacks of Japan himself from the beginning, the losses of the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment would have been even smaller." Major General Chen Qi said.

"No matter what, we still won this battle. The 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment have begun to pursue the retreating Japanese himself. I hope they can take the opportunity to expand the results. If Japanese himself can further contribute heavy casualties, then the next battle will probably be much easier." Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng said.

If the main force of the Japanese Burmese Front could be eliminated west of the Mekong River, then the remaining Japanese troops would not be enough to resist the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Even if the Mekong River is a natural barrier, if the troops are insufficient, the defense line will inevitably be full of loopholes. It would be very easy for the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army to cross the Mekong River and annihilate the Japanese Burmese Front.

"Haha, it depends on the performance of the pursuing troops." Major General Chen Qi said with a smile.

Subsequently, telegrams from the 7th Infantry Division and the 8th Infantry Division also came. They reported that they had defeated the 53rd Japanese Division and the Independent Mixed Brigade and were now pursuing.

Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng ordered the 7th Infantry Division and the 8th Infantry Division to speed up the pursuit and find ways to eat more Japanese troops as much as possible.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng also ordered the subsequent 9th Infantry Division and 10th Infantry Division to speed up and keep up with the troops in front to avoid falling into the Japanese trap again and being besieged by the Japanese army.

"Chief, Chief of Staff. Call from the 11th Infantry Division. The 54th Division and the Independent Mixed 105th Brigade are retreating rapidly along the north shore of Dongsari Lake." A communication officer reported.

The 54th Division and the 105th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army were deployed in Siem Reap, preparing to attack the southwest of Dongsari Lake after the battle began, dragging part of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army's military strength, and creating favorable conditions for encirclement and annihilation of the pursuit troops of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army.

However, after discovering the Japanese conspiracy, the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army immediately dispatched the 11th Infantry Division and the 12th Infantry Division to the north to intercept the 54th Division and the Independent 105th Brigade. The two sides launched a fierce battle in the southwest of Siem Reap. However, the Japanese army was unable to get any advantage and the war was in a stalemate.

When the Japanese army's plan failed and the entire army began to flee in a panic, the 53rd Division and the independent army formed the 105th Brigade and immediately chose to retreat. They were afraid that they would be captured by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army if they retreated too late.

"Order the 11th Infantry Division and the 12th Infantry Division to start chasing along the north shore of Dongsari Lake. Annihilate as many Japanese troops as possible." Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng ordered. Now is a good opportunity to beat the dogs in the water. If more Japanese troops can be eliminated, it will be of great help to the next battle.

"Yes, commander." The staff officer immediately went to convey the order.

Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng's eyes fell on the map hanging on the wall. The entire Khmer battle situation was developing towards the favorable side of the fight against the Japanese National Salvation Army. If they could destroy the Japanese army's vitality as much as possible in the subsequent battle, then the next battle would be easier to fight. Even the Mekong River was no longer a big problem.

While the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was chasing the fleeing Japanese army, the Japanese divisions and brigades were desperately running away. They wanted to escape from the pursuit of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. As long as they could escape to the east bank of the Mekong River, they could save their lives.

Lieutenant General Kimura Hotaro, the Japanese Burmese Front Command in Saigon, was furious after learning about the battle situation on the front line.

"Baga! How could this happen? We have been deploying for so long and investing so many main forces. Not only has we not been able to eliminate a pursuit force of the Chinese people, but we have also suffered heavy losses. How can we continue this battle!" Lieutenant General Kimura Hitaro roared angrily.

The casualties of the Japanese army were too great. The 18th Division, the 31st Division, and the 24th Brigade of Independent Mixed Allies have already suffered more than half of the casualties. The 53rd Division and the 72nd Brigade of Independent Mixed Allies have not been very small. Even the 54th Division and the 105th Brigade of Independent Mixed Allies have paid a considerable price.

Based on these situations, the Japanese army lost almost 40,000 troops in this battle. Moreover, these troops are front-line combat troops. This will greatly affect the fighter jets of the Japanese Burmese Front. It is directly related to whether they can withstand the attack of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in the next battle!

What's more, the pursuit of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army continues. It is still difficult to say clearly how many of those troops can escape east of the Mekong River.

Once the Mekong defense line is lost before the reinforcements arrive and the Myanmar Front also suffers heavy losses. Even if the reinforcements arrive, it will probably be very difficult to defeat the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
