The high-spirited Free Army, like an unstoppable torrent, launched a fierce attack on Siam.

Inside the Free Army’s tent, Commander Lu Yuhua was standing in front of a huge military map. His eyes were firm and sharp, and his finger was moving across the eastern Siam area on the map.

Beside him, Adjutant Jack said anxiously: “General, our troops are ready for a full-scale advance. The morale of the soldiers is unprecedentedly high, and they are all eager to achieve a glorious victory in this battle!”

Lu Yuhua nodded slightly, with a confident smile on his face: “Very good, let the First Division quickly move towards Udon Thani, an important town in eastern Siam, and make sure to capture it within three days.”

“The Second Division will make a detour from the flank to cut off the possible reinforcement routes of the Siamese army. Tell the soldiers that we are fighting for freedom and dignity. This is our mission!”

At the same time, the Siamese military headquarters was in chaos. The King of Siam was extremely anxious. He paced back and forth and roared loudly: “Why did the Free Army suddenly launch such a fierce attack? Why is our defense so vulnerable!”

Songkan looked pale and said tremblingly: “Your Majesty, the Free Army’s attack this time is fierce. Their equipment and tactics have been greatly improved. Our eastern defense line has begun to collapse under their attack.”

King Rama stopped and glared at Songkan fiercely: “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and recruit soldiers to push the Free Army back!”

Songkan nodded quickly: “Yes, Your Majesty, we are already urgently recruiting soldiers. However, Your Majesty, the offensive of the Free Army is too fierce, I am afraid we can’t resist it alone. I suggest that we ask for support from our ally, the Japanese army.”

King Rama frowned. “The Japanese army? They are busy attacking Burma now. Will they be willing to send troops to support us?”

Songkan sighed, “Your Majesty, we have no other choice now. The Freedom Army has taken over most of our eastern territory. If we don’t get support, the consequences will be disastrous.”

King Rama pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, you immediately contact the Japanese army, explain our situation to them, and ask them to temporarily suspend their attack on Burma and support Siam.”

Under the fierce attack of the Free Army, towns in eastern Siam fell one after another.

The battlefield in Udon Thani was filled with smoke and the sound of gunfire was deafening.

The soldiers of the Free Army were as brave and fearless as tigers descending from the mountains, launching charge after charge towards the Siamese army’s positions.

On the Siamese army’s position, the soldiers were in a panic. The commander, Colonel Wichai, shouted at the top of his lungs: “Hold on! Hold on! We must not let the Free Army break through our defense line!”

However, the resistance of the Siamese soldiers seemed so weak.

A young soldier said in a trembling voice: “Colonel, we can’t hold on any longer. The firepower of the Free Army is too strong!”

Colonel Wichai raised his pistol and fired a shot into the air: “Listen to me, anyone who retreats will be killed! We are fighting for the honor of Siam, we cannot retreat!”

At this moment, a signalman ran over breathlessly: “Colonel, it’s bad! The Second Division of the Free Army has circled behind us and cut off our retreat!”

Colonel Wichai’s face changed drastically: “What? How could this happen!” He knew in his heart that the situation was now extremely critical. If they could not break through as soon as possible, this army would probably be wiped out.

In the Japanese headquarters, Terauchi Juichi was reading the war report on the Burmese battlefield with a satisfied smile on his face. At this time, an adjutant hurried in and handed over a telegram: “Commander, this is an urgent telegram from Siam.”

Terauchi Juichi took the telegram and after reading it, his face turned gloomy: “Humph, Siam actually asked us to postpone the attack on Burma and support them. Do they think our army can be deployed at any time?”

The adjutant said cautiously: “General, Siam is our ally after all. If they are defeated by the Free Army, it will also have an impact on our strategic layout in Southeast Asia.”

Terauchi Juichi pondered for a moment and said, “Notify Siam and ask them to try their best to resist. We will consider supporting them, but the Burmese attack cannot be easily stopped. Let the intelligence department pay close attention to the movements of the Free Army. I want to know how powerful they are.”

In the palace of Siam, King Rama was anxiously waiting for the Japanese army’s reply. Songkham hurried in with a hint of disappointment on his face: “Your Majesty, the Japanese army replied, they just asked us to resist as much as possible, and did not explicitly say that they would support us.”

King Rama angrily slammed his fist on the table: “These Japanese are so hesitant at the critical moment! What should we do?”

Songkan thought for a moment and said, “Your Majesty, we cannot put all our hopes on the Japanese army. We must rely on our own strength to organize a more effective resistance. At the same time, we can try to contact other neighboring countries and seek their support.”

King Rama nodded and said, “This is the only way. Go and do it immediately. No matter what the cost, you must defend the territory of Siam!”

On the Free Army side, Lu Yuhua was not afraid at all when he learned that Siam had requested support from the Japanese army.

He said to his adjutant: “Even if the Japanese army supports Siam, it will not be able to change the situation in a short time. We must speed up the attack and completely destroy Siam’s resistance before the Japanese army arrives.”

The adjutant nodded quickly and said, “Okay! I will pass on the order and have the soldiers take over Siam in one fell swoop!”

In the following days, the Free Army’s attacks became more fierce.

Although the Siamese army was struggling to hold on, its defense line was already riddled with holes.

Finally, under the powerful offensive of the Free Army, the Siamese army began to collapse completely.

King Rama slumped in his chair, looking at the telegrams of defeat coming from the front line, his eyes filled with despair.

He murmured to himself: “Is Siam really going to be destroyed in my hands?”

At this time, Songkham brought a message: “Your Majesty, we have contacted Cambodia. Cambodia expressed its willingness to provide some material assistance and send a small number of troops to help us defend the border.”

After hearing this, King Rama’s eyes lit up with hope again: “Great! Immediately send people to receive supplies and arrange for the stationing of the Khmer army. As long as we still have a glimmer of hope, we will never give up!”

After winning a series of victories, the Freedom Army did not get carried away by the victory. Lu Yuhua knew that the Japanese army could intervene at any time, and they had to be fully prepared. He said to the soldiers: “We have won a great victory, but the battle is not over yet. The Japanese army may come at any time. We must remain vigilant, consolidate our defenses, and prepare for more severe challenges!”

As time went on, heated discussions broke out within the Japanese army. Some generals believed that Siam should be supported in order to maintain the alliance and strategic layout in Southeast Asia, while other generals insisted that the attack on Burma was more important and that troops should not be easily divided.

After listening to opinions from all sides, Terauchi Juichi finally made a decision: “Send an elite force to Siam, but the main force will continue to attack Burma. We must win on both battlefields!”

When Siam learned that the Japanese army had finally decided to send reinforcements, King Rama was relieved. He said to Songkran: “Although the Japanese support came a little late, there is finally hope. We must cooperate with the Japanese army and drive the Free Army out!”

Songkan nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. We have already made a plan to cooperate with the Japanese army. As long as we unite as one, we will be able to turn the tide of the war.” However, the Free Army also received information that the Japanese army was supporting Siam.

Lu Yuhua called a meeting of the generals and said seriously: “The Japanese support troops are about to arrive in Siam, which is a big challenge for us. But we can’t retreat. We must give them a fatal blow before the Japanese army meets with the Siamese army!”

The generals all expressed their agreement, and a more intense battle was about to begin on this land.

On the eve of the arrival of Japanese reinforcements in Siam, the Free Army launched a large-scale raid.

They took advantage of the cover of night and quietly approached the Siamese army’s new defense line, preparing to catch them off guard.

There was total silence on the battlefield, with only the rustling of the grass in the breeze.

Suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence, and the soldiers of the Free Army poured out like a tide and rushed towards the Siamese army’s positions.

The Siamese army was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and the soldiers picked up their weapons in a panic to resist. The commander, Colonel Wichai, stood up again and shouted, “Don’t panic! Organize a defense line and fight hard!”

The Free Army’s attack was extremely fierce. Their artillery fire continued to fall on the Siamese army’s positions, raising clouds of dust and smoke. A Free Army soldier shouted: “Charge! For freedom!”

In the fierce exchange of fire, the Siamese army gradually fell into trouble. At this time, there was a sound of engines in the distance. It turned out that the Japanese support troops had arrived.

The Japanese commander, Colonel Sato, looked at the smoke on the battlefield and sneered: “Freedom Army, your doom has come!” He immediately ordered his troops to join the battle and formed a pincer attack on the Freedom Army with the Siamese army.

When Lu Yuhua saw the arrival of the Japanese army, he felt nervous, but he did not panic. He quickly adjusted his tactics and ordered his troops to shrink their defenses and prepare for a protracted war.

On the battlefield, the sounds of gunfire and shouts of killing intertwined, and both sides paid a heavy price. Although the Free Army resisted tenaciously, it gradually lost the upper hand under the joint attack of the Japanese and Siamese armies.

However, the Freedom Army did not give up. Under the leadership of Lu Yuhua, they repelled the enemy’s attacks again and again with their tenacious will and outstanding combat skills.

In this fierce battle, both sides showed amazing fighting power. The Free Army fought for freedom and ideals, and their morale was always high; while the Siamese army and the Japanese army also fought hard for their own interests.

As time went on, the war entered a stalemate.

Both sides were constantly adjusting their tactics, trying to find each other’s weaknesses. On this land, blood flowed like a river, and countless lives were lost in the flames of war.

As the war continued, the consumption of supplies became extremely huge.

The material reserves in Siam were almost running out, and King Rama was worried about it.

He said to Songkan: “Our supplies are almost exhausted. If this continues, even with the support of the Japanese army, it will be difficult for us to hold on.”

Songkan said helplessly: “Your Majesty, we have sent out a signal for help to neighboring countries, but we have not received many responses. At present, it seems that we can only rely on the Japanese army’s supplies.”

At the same time, the Free Army also faced a shortage of supplies. Lu Yuhua looked at the list of supplies and frowned: “We are running out of ammunition and food. We must find a way to solve this problem.”

Jack suggested, “How about we raid Siam’s supply storage base and seize their supplies?”

Lu Yuhua thought for a moment and said, “This is a solution, but Siam will definitely strengthen the defense of the material base. We must make a careful plan.”

After some planning, the Free Army sent out an elite squad, which quietly headed towards Siam’s material storage base under the cover of night.

Outside the supply base, the team lurked in the dark, observing the situation inside the base.

Captain Chen Xun said softly: “Everyone, please be careful. There are many guards in the base. We must be careful.”

The team members nodded one after another, holding their weapons, waiting for the order to attack.

Suddenly, a team member accidentally stepped on a branch and broke it, making a crisp sound. The guards in the base immediately became alert and began to search everywhere.

Chen Xun’s heart tightened, he knew he couldn’t wait any longer.

He whispered, “Action!”

The team members rushed to the base like ghosts and started a fierce battle with the guards.

Although the guards were numerous, the Free Army squad gradually gained the upper hand with their excellent combat skills and tenacious will.

After a fierce battle, the Free Army successfully occupied the material storage base and seized a large amount of ammunition and food.

When Lu Yuhua heard the news, a gratified smile appeared on his face: “Well done! These supplies are enough to support us for a while.”

On the Siamese side, upon learning that the material storage base had been attacked, King Rama was furious: “What is going on? Such an important place was easily breached by the Free Army! Songkran, you must give me an explanation!”

Songkan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. “Your Majesty, it is my fault. I will immediately strengthen the defense of other material bases.”

At critical moments in war, the gain or loss of supplies can often affect the outcome of the war.

The morale of the Free Army was greatly boosted after they successfully seized supplies, while the morale of the Siamese army was severely hit due to the loss of supplies.

After learning about this, the Japanese commander Colonel Sato also realized the seriousness of the problem.

He told his men: “The actions of the Free Army are becoming more and more bold. We must speed up our actions and defeat them as soon as possible.”

After replenishing their supplies, the Free Army once again launched an attack on the Siamese and Japanese defense lines. (End of this chapter)
