Ouyang Yun's ultimatum to the Thai people is meaningful.
Ever since Guo Muyi started to clear out the stubborn French plantation owners, the Second and Third Mountain Divisions were forced out by Ouyang Yun. At that time, more than two-thirds of the barracks in the huge Pobiet military camp were actually vacant. A week ago, just when the Japanese and Thai troops had just begun to gather, Bian Jiansheng's third division began to advance deep into Thailand. Now its forward has penetrated into Prachinburi, Thailand. The Baojun Department started three days ago After a series of war preparations, the entire division has now crossed the Thai-Cambodian border and penetrated more than ten kilometers. This battle has not yet started. The student army has actually invaded Thai territory.
The Bian Jiansheng Department and the Bao Army Department were wreaking havoc in Thailand as if they were in uninhabited territory. This was related to Ouyang Yun's indulgence in the jungle special operations brigade's indiscriminate raids.
After the Wolf Fang Team and the Solidarity Brigade Team successfully sabotaged the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Army Asia Tour Camp" preparatory meeting in Bangkok, Ouyang Yun decided to let the Jungle Special Operations Brigade conduct special operations on the Thai-Cambodian border. At the beginning, he was only prepared to target the Japanese army , and after Zou Jiahui and Cao Yang were rescued, he was angry at the performance of the Thais in the encirclement and suppression of Zou Jiahui and Cao Yang. He decided to show the Thais their power, so he changed his order and asked the jungle special operations brigade to carry out indiscriminate attacks on Japanese and Thai strongholds. After the targeted killing, in just one week, the Japanese army and the Thai army lost dozens of key strongholds and hundreds of officers and soldiers in the Thai-Cambodian border area. The Thais could no longer bear it anymore and began to shrink their defense lines in a planned way. After the Japanese army persisted for another week, they found that the confrontation of such a small force was no match for the Wolf Fang (the Japanese still did not know the existence of the Unity Brigade), and they also began to shrink the defense line. When Yamamoto Isoroku issued the order to attack, Japan and Thailand Troops began to gather. The Japanese and Thai troops had retreated about thirty kilometers from the border area, and the area they retreated from became the first strategic location they needed to capture.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Chucai, Bian Jiansheng's forward troops ambushed a regiment of the Thai army, and the battle immediately began. A Japanese regiment quickly outflanked the area from the south, and Bian Jiansheng's main force was in the southeast of Sakao Mansion. A firefight broke out, and after half an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, the aviation troops of the two Japanese brigades rushed to the battlefield and began to conduct air strikes on the Xuebing Army positions. The Second and Third Mountain Divisions were not equipped with specialized air defense units. Bian Jiansheng sized up the situation and wisely Ordered a retreat and led the main force to retreat to Pobiet.
The Japanese aviation force had just begun to return, and the Japanese infantry regiment had just launched a pursuit. A regiment from the Baojun headquarters grabbed a baggage convoy that had fallen behind the regiment from the southeast, and fought a hearty battle of annihilation.
When the regiment came back for rescue, all they saw was a burning logistics truck, hundreds of dead people, and a group of howling donkeys and horses, and they were preparing to unite with another regiment to attack the waves. They advanced in another direction. More than fifty kilometers south of them, a brigade of the Thai Army was ambushed by the Bao Army Headquarters. The Thai Army, which was rather poorly equipped, was no match for the Xuebing Army. After half an hour of fierce fighting, the brigade was overrun. After being defeated, the troops of more than 3,000 people dispersed after leaving more than 1,000 corpses. The brigade commander finally fled back to Chachoengsao with only 100 people. Masuda Fuchuan received the report and was worried that the Bao Military Headquarters would outflank the two troops. There was no way for the Japanese army to retreat, so he had to let them station on the spot and wait for the Thai army to recover the lost positions first. He asked him to contact the commander-in-chief of the Thai army, hoping that the Thai army could regain the lost southeast area of Chachoengsao. However, the Thai army Already frightened, although he pretended to assemble his troops again, he still had no intention of marching into the lost territory.
The fighting on the southern line of the Thai-Cambodian border is in full swing, and there is chaos in Thailand at the junction of Thailand and Laos. After the independent brigade under the jurisdiction of the "Lao National Independence Liberation Army" entered the Thai border, those soldiers with Orion origins were okay, but those escorts were bullying. Their inferiority was fully exposed, killing people and setting fires in many villages. The northeastern part of Thailand was suddenly filled with smoke and mourning, and the Thai military suddenly felt that it was powerless. As a result, the counterattack that the Japanese army expected became more and more elusive.
The fiercest fighting took place on the coast of Vung Tau,
Because there is no navy and lack of coastal defense artillery, and the French aviation force, which only has dozens of old fighter planes, does not dare to fight, so from the beginning to the end, the cadet army and the French army stationed in the coastal defense of Vung Tau can only passively respond.
The Japanese Eagle aircraft carrier fleet arrived at a sea area of about 15 kilometers, and cooperated with Hainan Airlines to use naval guns to bombard the shore defenses of Vung Tau. After continuous bombardment and shelling for nearly an hour, the Japanese from the two brigades came under a famous name. Under the leadership of a major named Sahei Iwamura, the battle for the beach began.
More than two thousand Japanese soldiers rode dozens of large and small landing craft, with a landing craft of more than a thousand tons as the center. After another round of shelling, they launched a beach invasion.
The prolonged bombing and shelling caused heavy losses to the defenders. Each regiment of the French army and the cadet army suffered more than 400 casualties, and the cadet army also suffered more than 200 casualties. This was a complete comparison of strength. The unequal battle, which lasted for several hours and could only be beaten without being able to fight back, was a great test for the fighting will of the troops. The thing that worried Emmons the most still happened. There were deserters in his troops, and they were A platoon fled en masse, and he showed no mercy at all. He executed the platoon leader on the spot and returned to the front line with a gun on the soldiers who joined the escaping ranks.
Seeing that the little devil's landing craft had entered the mortar range, Emmons looked at the cadet army position next to him and found that all the cadets were lying down silently. He said to Cao Bixiao: "Do you need it? Increase the number of troops. Looking at the size of the Japanese army, there should be two thousand people."
Cao Bixiao: "There are only two thousand people. You should wait for the attack signal from the 1st Mountain Division. Commander Li on the opposite side is very good at fighting."
On the 1st Mountain Division, there is only one regiment commander named Li Jiansheng who is commanding the front line. Emmons had no choice but to go to the front line in person from the beginning. He has no generals available. If he also lets his regiment commander sit in command, it is estimated that at this time Everyone has run away,
Ouyang Yun was not worried about the Japanese army landing in the Vung Tau area. Chu Tiange's two divisions were stationed nearby. Unless the Japanese army was willing to invest one division at a time, with less than this size, even if they could land, they would eventually be driven back. As for the fate of going to the sea, as for why the French and Huang Haifu’s First Mountain Division had to travel thousands of miles to fight this battle, his plan was simple, that is, to let the French know the ferocity of the Japanese, so as to prepare for the next The layout accumulation reasons,
One brigade each from the Xuebing Army and the French Army came from Hanoi, and neither of them had artillery units. This also determined the nature of this beach offensive and defensive battle, which would be a hard battle.
"Let the mortar platoon prepare to fire." Cao Bixiao said,
Emmons nodded. It seemed a bit ridiculous for a general to listen to a captain. However, Cao Bixiao showed super combat power in the operation to rescue Degu and Craley, which completely convinced Emmons. Therefore, Emmons There is no rejection in Si’s heart,
When the Japanese landing craft at the forefront was only one thousand meters away from the shore defenses, the sound of "empty" sounded, and Li Jiansheng first ordered the gunfire.
