"The Siamese army has broken through the border. I am sure they have destroyed the outpost over there." Lieutenant Anatoli shouted through his throat speaker. The German Fi156 "Stork" military reconnaissance plane with the French Air Force's three-color machine badge turned lightly in the air, and its course began to be parallel to the road.

"Stay away from a safe distance, [Squirrel]." Warned Lieutenant Bryan, an observer in the back seat of the reconnaissance plane.

"I understand, I don't want to cause trouble either." The pilot nicknamed [Squirrel] flattened the fuselage and lowered the throttle slightly.

Looking down from the cabin, the road leading to Poem Shoufeng was crowded with people and vehicles in progress. From the direction of the team, it was obviously not a French army.

Intelligence shows that the Siamese Army is equipped with light air defense weapons, many of which were sold to them by the French themselves. There are 13.2mm Haqikes machine guns and some 25mm Haqikes. Although the number of cannons is not very large, no matter which type is sufficient for this "stork", it will kill it.

Of course, the Siamese troops on the ground had spotted this reconnaissance aircraft long ago, but it seems that their commander didn’t care very much about it. Perhaps they recognized that it was an unarmed light reconnaissance aircraft. For the marching column There is no threat.

"They are all infantry, and there are a large number of trucks, which should be heavy units. They are advancing southeastward along Highway 5." The driver reported by radio to his superiors.

"Has everything been photographed?" Anatole turned his head and asked about his back seat.

"It's all taken, hell, they are shooting at us." Brian shouted loudly. At this moment, a faint cloud of smoke rose from the marching queue. In the setting sun, the pilots could clearly see green tracer bombs slowly rising from the ground, like a group of fireflies flying in the air.

"It's time to evacuate, we have taken enough pictures." Anatole swung the wings, and then began to turn to the outside.

"Try to rush back to Aklida before dark. The runway situation there is not very good. I hope that we will not encounter Siamese fighters. We must take these important films back." Brian turned himself. The lower seat turned to the rear, holding the **** of the MG17 self-defense machine gun, and pulling the bolt up.

"The nasty bug flew away." The 35th Infantry Battalion Operations Staff Major Dapnahit turned his face to look at the captain sitting on his right.

"This is not a good omen, Major Mann." Lieutenant Colonel Rano, commander of the 35th Battalion Infantry Battalion, said with his eyes closed with his head resting on the back of his chair. "

I understand what you mean, Lieutenant Colonel. "Although the combat staff said so, his face had an expression of disapproval.

Dapnahit’s real name is quite long, and it’s a mess, which is very common in Siam, so Siamese have a nickname with a simple pronunciation before they reach adulthood, which is convenient for parents, friends and teachers to call. Often it will continue to be used in adulthood. Dapnahit's nickname is "Man".

Lieutenant Colonel Lanuo is a real son of a family. The elders in the clan are great aristocrats with [PA] in the title, which is equivalent to a western marquis. He has not studied in military academy for a few days. Although the qualifications and background are very hard, they cannot convince the officers of the young and strong faction like Major Man.

"The cavalry company has captured Punkun Village. The company commander claimed to have encountered only minor resistance. It is clear that the French army has lost their fighting spirit after France was defeated by Germany." Major Siam There was a trace of pride in his expression. He did not believe the rumors in the army, saying that the French had transferred a large number of elites from the mainland. In his opinion, it was a group of defeated troops who had been exiled and had long been interrupted by the Germans. Back, how could this waste be the opponent of the Siamese army.

"Never care about it, Major. The French are not as simple as they thought. Do you remember the news from last month? They wiped out a Japanese infantry battalion." Rano opened his eyes and glanced at his combat staff. In the past few months, he had been fed up with the aggressive little brat's overt or covert provocations. If the brat had some status in the family, Rano would have thought of a way to kick him out of the infantry camp.

The 35th Infantry Battalion has a total staff of 700 people. The actual number is only a little more than 500. The whole battalion is divided into four companies, three ordinary infantry companies and one machine gun company, as well as a guard platoon directly under the battalion headquarters. A rearrangement and a communication class. Because it was arranged in the forward sequence, the superior sent a mortar platoon to the battalion to strengthen the assault firepower of this pure infantry unit.

This battalion is equipped with the Type 66 Siam Mauser, which is actually the G98 Mauser rifle copied by Siam. The so-called Type 66 means it was finalized in 2466 in the Siamese calendar, which is 1914 when converted into the Gregorian calendar. This is a reliable weapon. The 8X52 Mauser is used. For Asians, the recoil is a little bit stronger.

This is also one of the reasons why Siam chose to buy the Japanese 38-type rifle. Another reason is that the dictatorship wanted to do his best to eliminate the traces left by King Rama VI in the army. His group of students who were sent to France by the royal family were highly valued by the king, and most of them were reused after returning to the country. It can be said that they were deeply favored by King Rama VI. However, when the king died, they initiated the overthrow of the royal family. In the coup d'etat of the reign, both hands were stained with blood loyal to the royal family. What these people fear most is the restoration of the royal family. If it weren't for the large number of rifles and equipment, Phi Wensong could have waited to replace the rifles dubbed Rama with the Japanese 38.

In Siam’s combat plan, the 35th Infantry Battalion followed the pioneer company of the 12th Cavalry Battalion, and the 20th Infantry Battalion was followed by the 20th Infantry Battalion, because there was only one road leading to Shisasafeng, and Siam The Romanian troops rely on horse-drawn carriages and trucks for the transportation of their luggage, and cannot leave the road to march.

The mechanization of the cavalry battalion is relatively high, and it rushed to the forefront all the way. The Siamese infantry battalion can only advance on foot, and the soldiers are still burdened with heavy equipment supplies. As fatigue increases, the speed of progress has gradually slowed down, so unknowingly, the 35th infantry battalion and the 12th cavalry battalion There was a disconnect between the two companies, and over time, the distance between the two units continued to widen.

Captain Depan’s troops easily defeated a mixed Khmer and French detachment in Puenkun village, which lies on the No. 5 Highway leading to Shisasafeng. France has set up a guard here. At the checkpoint, the Khmer police stationed and the French colonial forces totaled 30 people. These defenders just randomly fired a round of bullets at the Siamese armored vehicles and light tanks, and then climbed onto the two Renault trucks and turned around to retreat in the direction of Shishofeng.

Depan's troops successfully captured this important border village without firing a few shots. This is a pre-determined military station setting point in the plan. The village is located in an important traffic road, and there is ample clean water source~IndoMTL.com~ Especially there are many ready-made houses that can be provided for the storage of supplies and housing for the heavy troops.

Because of the urgent task, Depan did not stay in the village more. He only left a platoon of infantry to complete the occupation of the village.

Just like the Khmer people hate the Siamese, the Siamese are also full of disgust and contempt for the Khmer people. They believe that the once powerful Angkor dynasty has turned to dust. The Khmer people have failed in previous wars. He has long lost the bravery and glory of his ancestors, and is not qualified to continue occupying this fertile land. It should be handed over to the powerful Siamese dynasty to rule.

The Siamese infantry smashed open the door of every villager in the village, and gathered the men, women, and children who had no time to escape in the open space in the center of the village. Because no one resisted during the period, there was no **** violence.

It’s just that waiting for these Khmer villagers is definitely not a good thing. They may be released by the army after the operation is completed, but they are destined to lose all their belongings here, because the Siamese will not allow them. The Khmer people continue to live on this land. The villagers’ houses, fields and production tools will be confiscated and transferred to the Siamese peasants coming from behind. This is a common practice in Southeast Asian wars. The victor gets everything and the loser stays alone. All in one.

De Pan’s troops assaulted the capital of Banteay Meanchey province at high speed. One of his infantry platoons stayed in Punkun, and the 35th Infantry Battalion, which was backed by the cavalry company, was still almost two distances from Punkun. Slowly advancing along the kilometer road, the Siamese troops formed an intermittent snake formation on Highway 5.

At this time, the Siamese never expected that a French armored force was approaching this highway at high speed in the southeast direction, and a classic siege war would begin here.
