Chapter 851 Expeditionary Force General Attack
851 Expeditionary Force General Offensive
By the end of May, the main force of Lu Dahai's New 1st Division had arrived outside the capital of Siam.
On a small hillside, Lu Dahai was holding a telescope and looking at the city in front of him.
"Commander, according to the report from the First Regiment.
In the past few days, they have attacked a nearby Japanese airport, two ammunition depots, and destroyed three Japanese logistics transport convoys.
The resistance they faced was not very strong.
This shows that our previous judgment was correct.
The Japanese troops in the rear are indeed short of manpower.
At present, the only remaining Japanese troops, about one regiment, are deployed in the city.
The commander of the Japanese 25th Army should also be in the city.
Should we charge in, take down the Japs' headquarters, capture that old Japskin Yamashita Tomoyuki alive, and present him to the Commander?"
Next to Lu Dahai, the chief of staff of the New 1st Division was reporting to Lu Dahai with an excited look on his face.
"Can you confirm the exact location of that old devil Yamashita Tomoyuki's headquarters in the city?"
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Lu Dahai wasn't moved after hearing what his chief of staff said.
If they could really take out the headquarters of the Japanese 25th Army and capture the old Japanese soldier Yamashita Tomoyuki alive.
Then they will definitely win this battle.
"This, Master.
We are in the city, but we have no spies.
The exact location of the Japanese 25th Army Headquarters is currently unknown.
Unless we can break into the city, we can then send soldiers to search carefully and we will definitely find it."
After listening to this, Lu Dahai finally shook his head and said, "Your method won't work.
The remaining Japanese soldiers in the city will definitely defend to the death.
Even if our division attacks by force, it will pay a heavy price.
If we get stuck in the quagmire inside the city, we will have no one to carry out the mission given to us by the commander.
The commander made it very clear in the telegram.
The next and most important task for our division is to destroy all important targets behind the Japanese.
Especially the military factories and ammunition depots, which completely destroyed the Japanese's war capabilities.
Only in this way, the commander can lead the main force of our expeditionary force and eliminate the two Japanese divisions blocking the western mountainous area."
"So, what does the Master mean?"
"Leave one regiment behind to keep an eye on the Japanese regiment in the city.
Don't let them come out and cause trouble.
All other regiments will disperse.
Destroy all the Japanese military targets around here.
Next, our division will completely disrupt the entire rear of the Japanese."
Lu Dahai, who has always been warlike, was still very calm at this time.
The option of attacking the city and destroying the headquarters of the Japanese 25th Army was abandoned.
So, in the following three days, the New 1st Division launched a frenzied attack on all military targets behind the Japanese army and all their supply teams.
Almost all of the Japanese's material warehouses and military factories were razed to the ground, and the weapons and ammunition that the Japanese were not aware of storing were destroyed.
It caused heavy losses to the Japanese.
In this way, time quickly entered June and Siam became hot.
The New 1st Division destroyed all the surrounding Japanese military targets and blocked all roads, thus completing the task assigned to them by Ye Qingshan.
“Haha, okay, okay.
This guy Lu Dahai is really like Zhang Fei, rough but meticulous."
Ye Qingshan finished reading the detailed report on their division's actions in this battle sent by the Chief of Staff of the New 1st Division.
Ye Qingshan also gave a thumbs up to Lu Dahai's calmness and choice, and looked at him with some admiration.
"Commander-in-Chief, that old devil Yamashita Tomoyuki can no longer deliver supplies and ammunition to the devils defending our side.
Can we notify Zhou Pingkou and the others to increase the intensity of the attack?"
Chief of Staff Luo Zhuoying said with a smile.
"Ah."
Ye Qingshan nodded: "The time for the general attack has arrived, and we can indeed close the net.
Immediately notify Zhou Pingkou and Zhang Fa and the others.
The general offensive begins.
In at most half a month, I want to see them break through the Japanese defense line in this mountainous area.
Keep all the devils here, don't let any of them escape."
There was murderous intent and excitement in Ye Qingshan's eyes. He had been waiting for this moment all these days.
At this time, Ye Qingshan did not know that the Japanese troops defending in the mountainous area in front of them had already been divided from two main divisions of the Japanese.
Became one.
The retreating Japanese Imperial Guards Division did a good job of keeping it secret and all retreated at night.
At this time, the Allied forces did not notice it.
It was not until three days later that Zhou Pingkou commanded eight divisions to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese defense line that was dozens of miles long.
Ye Qingshan just received the news.
"What? In just two days, Zhou Pingkou and his men captured more than a dozen Japanese defensive positions?"
Ye Qingshan was a little surprised.
How come the Japanese defense line, which was as solid as a rock some time ago, suddenly collapsed?
"Yes, Commander.
However, the most core Japanese positions in the north and south have not yet been captured by us.
Therefore, we have not yet completely broken through the Japanese defense line.
But this is progressing much faster than before.
Commander Zhou promised that if they were given another two weeks, they would completely break through the enemy's defenses in this mountainous area."
Chief of Staff Luo Zhuoying ran over excitedly and reported to Ye Qingshan.
However, after hearing this, Ye Qingshan frowned.
He felt that something seemed to be wrong.
