8:15.
With a command from the Southern Corps Command.
The 9th Reserve Armored Division, the 10th Reserve Mechanized Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, the 5th Infantry Division, and the 6th Artillery Division are advancing along the entire front.
In an instant, the soldiers of the National League Army surged towards the enemy like a tidal wave.
"Brothers! Follow me and kill! Kill!"
"Hahaha! These bastards! They've gone too far in bullying me!"
"Charge!!"
While shouting, the National League troops threw grenades to destroy the enemy's bunkers, mortar positions, and various fortifications.
Under wave after wave of submachine gun fire, the enemy's resistance grew weaker and weaker, and many chose to surrender directly, or squat on the ground with their hands raised, waiting for the National League for Democracy's trial.
In just thirty minutes, the first line of defense that the Southern National Liberation Front was so proud of collapsed and was completely breached by the National League Army.
9:31 AM.
The 9th Reserve Armored Division and the 10th Reserve Mechanized Infantry Division advanced along the narrow corridor and directly engaged the 8th Division guarding the logistics base.
With the support of various types of tanks, the two elite units engaged in fierce fighting in the narrow passage.
"Da da da da da!"
"Put-put-put-put-put!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"
“Swish swish swish!!”
The two sides exchanged fire, the gunfire deafening, and shells streaking across the sky, converging in the air to create a spectacular meteor shower.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
"Boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
"Pfft!!!"
"Ah...uh..."
In the fierce fighting, the 8th Division suffered heavy losses. Of its 5,000 men, more than half were killed in just ten minutes, falling in pools of blood.
Seeing this, the commander of the 8th Division of the Southern National Liberation Front had no choice but to lead his troops in a retreat, abandoning their armor and fleeing in panic.
But how can two legs outrun a tank, especially one heavy tank after another?
Almost every time they engage in firefights, they pay a heavy price.
"Da da da da!"
"Bang!!"
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!!"
Under such circumstances, the troops of the Southern National Liberation Front completely lost their will to resist, surrendered one after another, and allowed the National League Army to capture prisoners.
At 10:21 AM, the 8th Division of the Southern National Liberation Front was completely annihilated. All the soldiers, including the division commander, were captured, while the remaining soldiers surrendered under the threat of tank fire and aircraft artillery.
At 12:30, the 9th Reserve Armored Division and the 10th Reserve Mechanized Infantry Division captured Kebang and Anxi.
At 12:45, the 2nd Infantry Division captured Guangyi, Bade, and Tianchang.
At 12:51, the 5th Infantry Division captured Kunsong, Shatai, and Yaka.
At 2:20 p.m., the entire Binh Dinh province fell.
The three armies of the Southern Corps of the National League for Democracy continued their southward advance in parallel.
When the news reached Saigon, it caused a huge uproar.
Inside the office of the Saigon Southern National Liberation Front Committee.
As Liang Minghua sat in his chair, he was still pondering what kind of country he could build in the future so that he could be remembered in history.
Suddenly, intelligence officer Hu Mingjie rushed into the room, panting, and said, "Something terrible has happened! Something terribly wrong!"
Seeing the other person's anxious and flustered expression, Liang Minghua frowned and asked, "Old Hu, what's wrong? Tell me slowly, don't rush, what happened?"
"We have just received the latest intelligence: our three armies of the National League Army have broken through our first line of defense!"
"The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Divisions! They were... were... were completely annihilated!!!"
"What?!"
Liang Minghua gasped, abruptly standing up. Her eyes widened, her face pale, as she stared at Hu Mingjie as if he were a monster. She stammered, "You...you say that again?!"
"We're finished! We're finished! We're completely finished!!!"
Hu Mingjie's mouth was full of bitterness. He closed his eyes in anguish and murmured, "Those were over 50,000 elite troops!! And they're all gone just like that!!! Waaaaah..."
"It's over! It's over! It's really over!!"
Liang Minghua slumped into a chair, his expression blank, his eyes helpless, and his heart filled with despair.
If even the eight divisions on the front line couldn't withstand the National League army, what else could they rely on to resist?
"Tom Bruno!"
Liang Minghua roared, gritting his teeth, "You bastard, how dare you betray us! You promised to buy us time! You promised!!! You lied to me! You lied to me!!! You're not human!!!"
"Tom Bruno! I'll tear you to pieces!!!"
"Tom Bruno, you're dead!!! You beast!!!"
"Tom Bruno!!!"
Hearing Liang Minghua's angry curses, Hu Mingjie said anxiously, "Run! We have to run!! If we don't run now, it'll be too late!!!"
"Run? Where to run?"
Liang Minghua raised his head blankly, looking around in bewilderment, "Where else can we go?"
"North! Enter Cambodia! The National League for Democracy (NLD) has only recaptured Vietnam and hasn't yet taken action against Laos and Cambodia, which are occupied by the French. We still have a chance to rise again!"
Hu Mingjie said firmly, his tone revealing a strong determination, "Moreover, there is Ho Chi Minh's army in Cambodia, with more than 30,000 men. As long as we join forces and fight a guerrilla war against the National League for Democracy in the mountains, there may still be hope of turning the tide!"
"Hmm?" Liang Minghua's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Great idea! Let's go to Cambodia!"
Immediately afterward, Liang Minghua issued the order to march north. The 9th and 10th Divisions, totaling 16,000 men, rushed north and entered the deep mountains of Cambodia to join forces with Ho Chi Minh's troops.
