    Therefore, Commander Han Yuchen ordered the soldiers to seize the time to consolidate their positions. In the evening, Commander Han specifically asked the battalion on the high ground behind the village to pay attention to Japanese sneak attacks at night.  *1*1* This highland is the commanding heights of the village. Occupying the high ground, the firepower can suppress the entire village.

    The second and third battalions, responsible for the defense of the small village, sent additional secret sentries at night to prevent Japanese sneak attacks.  The Japanese soldiers in trench defense secretly planted a large number of mines at the front after dark, and then randomly placed many empty cans.  .

    On the high ground behind the village, anti-Japanese soldiers placed many empty cans under the high ground. The number of sentries on the high ground doubled, with a sentry almost every 20 meters.  The commander of the first battalion specially installed several searchlights on the high ground. The bright light beams crisscrossed the front of the position, illuminating the front brightly.

    That night, the Japanese army indeed launched a sneak attack. In the face of the well-prepared army, the Japanese army did not gain any benefits. The tight defense and dense rain of bullets mopped down the Japanese soldiers in pieces.  Both Japanese night attacks failed and they had to temporarily stop the attack.  Major Ueda asked Da Nang for additional troops.

    In Da Nang, Japanese Major General Hattori Hisashi received a request from Major Ueda for additional troops. He almost got angry and scolded Major Ueda who was responsible for the command.  Under the inherent thinking of the Chinese ***'s low combat effectiveness, the major general thought that just one charge could overwhelm the Chinese ***. He believed that the major's command was improper.

    After being reprimanded, Major Ueda had no choice but to continue the attack under the severe orders of the major general.  But what greeted the Japanese army was a barrage of bullets.

    Two thousand Japanese troops surrounded an entire regiment of troops.  1 (1) There is no advantage in terms of military strength.  The weapons and equipment are not at the same level. During the battle in Luliutian Village, the Japanese army was at a disadvantage from the beginning of the war.  At this time, the Japanese soldiers had more recruits and fewer veterans. The individual quality of the soldiers was far inferior to those of the Chinese Expeditionary Force soldiers who had fought bloody battles with the Japanese army in Burma for many years.

    With the reconnaissance of Japanese intelligence personnel, the strength of an army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is rushing towards Da Nang, which is only more than 50 miles away from Da Nang.  In order to preserve his troops and stick to Da Nang, Major General Hattori ordered Major Ueda to lead the remnants of the two brigades to retreat to Da Nang urgently.

    The Japanese army retreated very quickly. Judging from the speed of the Japanese army's retreat and battlefield discipline, Major Ueda can be regarded as an officer with excellent commanding ability in the Japanese army.

    Major General Hattori Hisashi.  After Major Ueda withdrew to Da Nang, the entire brigade entered level one combat readiness, and a curfew began to be implemented in Da Nang city.  As soon as the notice from the Japanese military headquarters was posted, a large number of Vietnamese residents came with their families.  Fleeing in droves.  Da Nang suddenly became chaotic, and the streets and alleys were crowded with Vietnamese residents preparing to flee.  The Japanese army sent soldiers to maintain order, but there were too many people and the situation was chaotic. Many Vietnamese broke through the Japanese soldiers and poured out of the city.

    Major General Hattori Hisashi had no choice but to order that all Vietnamese people who were willing to leave would be allowed to leave, and Japanese soldiers would no longer inspect them.  As a result, tens of thousands of Da Nang residents fled.  Accounting for more than two-thirds of the total residents.

    Commander Jing of the 66th Army commanded the entire army to arrive in Da Nang. Three infantry divisions deployed across the board to encircle Da Nang from three sides.  The war in Da Nang was in full swing, and the offensive was also launched on the southern front at the same time.

    After Yue Hanping began to gather on the northern front, he led the main force to quickly march towards southern Laos. The Chinese Expeditionary Force was transported by car throughout the entire journey and advanced rapidly together with the armored forces.  The average daily advancement speed is 120 kilometers.  At this time, the offensive on the northern front was launched, and the 66th Army quickly entered central Vietnam.  Cut off the Japanese army in Vietnam.

    The Southern Front Regiment of the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Cambodia (then known as Xialiao) and quickly advanced towards Phnom Penh.  There was only one Japanese garrison of more than 600 people in Phnom Penh, and with little resistance, the Japanese troops quickly withdrew from Phnom Penh and into Vietnam.

    Huang Xiang, commander of the guerrilla force directly under the expeditionary force headquarters.  Appointed as the commander of the Phnom Penh garrison, his guerrilla army was reorganized into the Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters ** Division.  Stay in Cambodia and help form a pro-China government.  During the French Indochina period, Cambodia's territory was the most completely protected, and the Royal Government of Cambodia still had great affinity and support for France.

    Since the Japanese occupation of French Indochina, they have brutally plundered Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other French Indochina. France was powerless against the Japanese occupation. The desire for national independence in Cambodia is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.  The Chinese Expeditionary Force drove away the Japanese army and supported the Cambodian national revolution.

    Since the King of Cambodia during the Japanese occupation was old, Yue Hanping instructed Huang Xiang to find another suitable candidate.  It happened that Prince Sihanouk, the Cambodian prince who had studied abroad, returned to China. This prince who received democratic education in the West immediately attracted Huang Xiang's attention.

    In the history of Cambodia, there are two royal families, one is the lineage of Prince Sihanouk, and the other is the lineage of Prince Sihanouk¡¯s grandfather.  With the support of Phnom Penh Security Commander Huang Xiang, the Cambodian royal family accepted Sihanouk as the new king of the kingdom.  After King Sihanouk ascended the throne, he re-appointed and dismissed senior officials, established new government agencies, and actively improved the people's health.??, and strive to develop the country's industrial construction.

    Under the leadership of King Sihanouk, the Kingdom of Cambodia tried its best to get closer to China, and a pro-China Cambodian government was established.  In order to consolidate China's position in Laos and Cambodia, Yue Hanping sent a special envoy back to China to report to Chiang Kai-shek on the situation in the two countries and requested Chiang Kai-shek to send additional troops to the two countries.

    In order to demonstrate the majesty of the Communist Party and the elegance of the great power of China, Chairman Chiang considered selecting troops from the youth army with the best quality in the Communist Party.  First, these young people are knowledgeable and can quickly learn international etiquette. Second, the youth army has the best equipment. When stationed abroad, the weapons and equipment are also a display of national strength.

    Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's idea was supported by Chen Cheng, Chiang Ching-kuo and others. To this end, Chiang Kai-shek specially transferred a brigade (actually a division) of the 207th Youth Army Division from China to serve as a garrison in Laos (then known as Laos), and a reinforced infantry regiment.  Served as a garrison in Cambodia.

    Both troops were drawn from the 207th Division of the Youth Army and were specially trained in Kunming, Yunnan for one month. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent personnel to the troops to teach diplomatic etiquette and related international law.

    After the short training, the two troops went abroad at the same time, each heading to their own garrison country.  Chiang Kai-shek put a lot of thought into the weapons of the two countries' garrisons. All the light weapons carried by the infantry were replaced by cv1 Chinese submachine guns, the light machine guns were domestic Czech light machine guns, the heavy machine guns were domestic Maxim water-cooled, and the armored vehicles were purchased from the Gannan Arsenal.  Domestic armored vehicles.  Only the artillery is American-style equipment, and the domestic equipment rate reaches more than 90%.  (To be continued)
