Since the Japanese army has been in a marching state and has no time to deal with the Thai army, the Thai army has taken a great advantage in the previous stage.

They did not expect that the Japanese army suddenly rushed towards them and became panicked. The troops that raided the Japanese army fled in all directions.

The Japanese army had clear goals, and they were not willing to fight. They drove away the Thai army that was coming to attack and continued to march to the north.

Gao Jiu knew that a Japanese army was going to attack the Golden Triangle, so he must eat this Japanese army and teach those Japanese troops who were planning to attack the Golden Triangle a severe lesson.

Gao Jiu sent telegrams in succession, asking Tianchuan to send Taohua Mountain guerrillas left in the Golden Triangle to enter Thailand.

Gao Jiu commanded the Vietnamese guerrillas to cut off the Japanese retreat route, and the Thai army entangled the Japanese army and reported the Japanese movements at any time. The 30th Division of the Yuanzheng Army and the 38th Division entered Thailand and joined the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu led the Taohua Mountain guerrillas and rushed directly to Thailand.

After receiving a telegram from Gao Jiu, the Thai general reported that the Japanese army did not flee directly to Vietnam, but entered the hinterland of Thailand.

He immediately mobilized troops to intercept them. At this time, the troops he was stationed in various places and ordered the troops of the regiment closest to the Japanese army to intercept the Japanese army.

Their main purpose is not to destroy the Japanese army, but to monitor the Japanese army's actions and report the Japanese army's action route to superiors at any time.

Yamashita Fengwen commanded the troops of the 18th Division to suddenly turn north with the purpose of disrupting Gao Jiu's combat deployment.

When they encountered the Thai army, they immediately launched a fierce attack and defeated it. Then they did not fight, accelerated the marching speed and continued to advance.

Unexpectedly, these Thai troops would insist on fighting and entanglement with the Japanese army.

Yamashita Takamoto knew that if he did not quickly get rid of these Thai troops, his course of action would be clear at a glance.

So he decided to annihilate these Thai troops first, and then change the marching route again to avoid Gao Jiu's siege.

The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, especially the 18th Division of the Japanese army, which is worthy of being the ace force.

After a regiment of the Thai army arrived at the battlefield, the two sides fought.

The Japanese army made a brief preparation for artillery fire and then launched a full-line attack.

The Thai army could not resist at all, and they were quickly defeated.

The Japanese army pursued and fought hard, and most of the Thai troops in this regiment were injured and killed. They panicked and fled in all directions.

When the Japanese army saw the Thai army fleeing, they immediately gathered their troops and continued to advance.

The Thai army was also very tenacious. Despite the heavy losses, seeing the Japanese army retreated, the Thai army's regiment commander gathered a group of soldiers and followed them up, constantly reporting the movements of the Japanese army to the Thai general.

When the commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army saw that he still could not get rid of the Thai army, he secretly left an infantry squadron and quietly ambushed, and the large group of people continued to march.

The commander of the Thai army was only concerned about the marching brigade that followed the Japanese army, and was not wary of the Japanese ambush and was shot and died on the spot. His soldiers also suffered heavy losses and fled in scattered areas.

This squadron of the Japanese army quickly evacuated and caught up with the Japanese marching brigade.

Seeing that he had finally escaped from the Thai army's tracking, Bongfumi Yamashita led his troops to continue to advance five kilometers northward, then turned southeastward, trying to escape back to Vietnam from there.

The Thai general lost the trace of the Japanese army. While sending troops to search for the Japanese army, he reported the situation to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiuzheng commanded all the troops to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. When he heard that the Japanese army had lost their traces, he was a little scratched and had to order the troops to stop advancing. While sending reconnaissance planes to northern Thailand for reconnaissance, he was waiting for news from the Thai general.

Golden Triangle.

After careful deployment, Tianchuan was ready for battle. The Japanese army had not arrived for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little confused, so he sent a telegram to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu told him that the Japanese army had withdrawn and that the alarm could be lifted, allowing Tianchuan to immediately restore the normal living and working order of the Golden Triangle, and not to affect the economic development of the Golden Triangle.

Takawa quickly ordered the alarm to be lifted.

In the trenches and in various other fortifications, militiamen wearing steel helmets were everywhere. They were both nervous and excited, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

Unexpectedly, everyone received news that the Japanese army would not come.

They were both disappointed and a little grateful, and they talked a lot, returned to their jobs and started their normal work and life.

Gao Jiu waited for four hours, but still did not have accurate information from the Japanese army.

He thought that he could not wait like this. After analysis and judgment, the Japanese army should have fled back to Vietnam.

So Gao Jiu ordered the Thai army to search in this direction, and the reconnaissance planes also conducted reconnaissance in northern Thailand. At the same time, he ordered the troops to advance towards northern Thailand.

Yamashita Tomoto led the Japanese army to constantly change the direction of the marching. In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, he kept radio silent on the road.

So far, their approach has been successful and has not been intercepted.

Suddenly, the sound of planes flying came from the sky. The Japanese army was well-trained and without waiting for the command from the superiors to issue orders, everyone quickly became hiding.

The reconnaissance plane flew over and found no trace of the Japanese army. Due to the complex terrain in this area, the pilot of the reconnaissance plane took a turn and flew back.

The Japanese army was still very concealed, and the reconnaissance plane did not find anything and flew away.

The Thai general received a telegram from Gao Jiu, so he sent a telegram to the garrison and local administrative agencies in northern Thailand, asking them to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army.

That morning, the Japanese vanguard was marching in the dense forest and suddenly found two local Thais.

The two Thais saw the Japanese army and turned around and ran away in fear.

The Japanese army was not sure about the situation around them, worried about exposing the target, and dared not shoot, so they chased the two Thais.

Two Thais fled desperately. Because they were too panic, one Thai was tripped by the roots of the tree under their feet, and the other Thais hurried to pull him.

Seeing that the Japanese army had rushed over, he had to give up and continue to run away.

The Thai man who fell to the ground saw the Japanese army surrounding him, waved the scimitar in his hand to stop the Japanese army from approaching.

Several Japanese soldiers stepped forward and stabbed him to death with a bayonet.

The rest of the Japanese army continued to track the fleeing Thai. The Japanese officers and soldiers saw that the woods in front became increasingly sparse, and then an empty area appeared in front, with many paddy fields. There was also a village in front.

The Thai man fled towards the village.

The Japanese squadron leader who led the team knew that the situation was not good. If the Thai man fled into the village, the whereabouts of the Japanese army would be exposed.

In order to prevent the worst situation from happening, he led people to continue chasing the Thai village, and ordered the troops to encircle the village in front to prevent any villagers from escaping and reporting the news.

The Thai man fled desperately and soon approached the village. He ran and shouted loudly: "The Japanese are here, everyone run!"

When the Japanese squadron leader saw that the target had been exposed, he snatched a 38 gun from a Japanese soldier, picked up the gun, aimed at the Thai villager and fired a shot.

After the villagers were shot, they lay directly in the paddy field.

The villagers in the village heard the shouts and gunshots and immediately became panicked.

People with fast legs fled outside the village, while other villagers were in a mess and wanted to run out.

Seeing that the troops responsible for the encirclement had not yet formed an encirclement, the Japanese squadron leader was worried that the villagers would reveal the whereabouts of the Japanese army, so he ordered the shooting and knocked the villagers who had escaped from the village to the ground.

The Japanese army finally surrounded the village, and many villagers were surrounded.

The Japanese squadron leader interrogated the villagers and learned that there were 175 villagers in the village. He counted the remaining villagers in the village and asked the soldiers to count the villagers who were beaten to death outside the village. He found that at least six people were missing. He knew that the news of the Japanese army appearing here would definitely be spread.

The Japanese squadron leader hurriedly reported the information to his superiors.

After receiving the report, Fengwen of the Yamashita hurriedly checked the map and found that the terrain here was very bad. The turbulent Oman River was ahead. If you want to cross this river, you must 15 kilometers upstream along the river and cross the river from the bridge there.

If Gao Jiu knew about the news that the Japanese army appeared here, he would probably send bombers to blow up the bridge, which would cut off the Japanese army's way to retreat directly to the north.

This area is a basin with mountains on all sides. If the Anti-Japanese Army arrives, the Japanese army will easily fall into a siege.

At this time, the Japanese army passed a long march, and the officers and soldiers were very tired. The large artillery had been discarded and there was not much ammunition and other supplies. They could not withstand a big battle at all. Only by avoiding the enemy's edge could they have a glimmer of life.

The situation was very critical. The division commander of the 18th Division and the corps commanders all turned their attention to Fengwen at the foot of the mountain.

Fengwen of Yamashita is worthy of being a tiger general. At this critical moment, he was not panicked at all.

He had a firm look, a calm face, and even a relaxed smile.

He said, "There is nothing great. Now let me ask you a question. If you were Gao Jiu, how should we judge the direction of our army's actions?"

Fengwen's calmness at Yamashita infected the Japanese generals. They also calmed down, thought seriously, and then put forward their own different opinions.

Although everyone's opinions were different, there was one thing that was to return to Vietnam as soon as possible.

Yamashita Fengmoto said: "You can think of anything you can think of. If we want to retreat to Vietnam directly, Gao Jiu will definitely arrange heavy troops to intercept our army along the way.

Once our army is entangled by the enemy, a large number of enemy bombers will fly over, and what is waiting for us will be a catastrophe.

So, no choice of these paths is, my opinion is…”

Speaking of this, he drew a line on the map with his fingers and said, "Let's go west from here to attack the Golden Triangle. What do you think of Gao Jiu?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and then dimmed again.

The commander of the 18th Division said: "Gao Jiu did not expect that we would attack the Golden Triangle, but with our little force, it would be impossible to capture the Golden Triangle. By then, all the enemy troops rushed over, and we would have no way out."

Yamashita Tomoto said, "Don't worry, everyone."

Speaking of this, he continued to slide his fingers along the line he had just drawn, and drew a new line, saying, "Do you all understand?"

Everyone understood and admired Fengwen of Yamashita very much. The commander of the 18th Division sincerely praised: "Mr. Commander, I think it is feasible."

Everyone also agreed with the opinion of Fengwen of the Shanxia Shizu.

Yamashita Tomoto said: "We have been discovered so now, turn around immediately, march for five kilometers, and then turn to the west. Let's start the action."

"Hay," the Japanese generals replied in unison, and soon led their troops to turn around and enter the forest again.

Yamashita Fengmo and the commander of the 18th Japanese Division walked behind the team.

The division commander asked, "What should those villagers do?"
