At the end of September, the war that both sides were already aware of broke out.

Thai border guards ignored warnings and broke through the checkpoints, occupying the main road in the border valley.

When they rushed in, the Xincheng border guards got into the cars that had been prepared in advance and ran away.

Only a lot of mines were left in the camp, and with occasional explosions in the background, the evacuated vehicles quickly reached a safe location.

This is the exit on the other side of the valley, and it is also the place that Wu San will focus on defending this time.

The large number of artillery deployed here will bury every Thai soldier who enters the valley.

The news of the start of the war was conveyed to the Xincheng government as soon as possible.

However, the officials who had already made preparations immediately notified the printing factory to get ready, and they could print newspapers and report the information as soon as the photos were brought back from the front line.

The fact that Thailand took the initiative to invade must be confirmed so that Xincheng can proceed with the next move with reason and evidence.

That afternoon, the expedited newspaper came out, and the photos on it were sent back directly by the airship. When the people in the printing factory saw the photos, they were outraged and worked overtime tirelessly to print the newspapers. These newspapers also arrived in various parts of the country on the airship.

That night, everyone in the country saw the news that Thailand invaded Tanah Ratan and the New Town government declared war on Thailand.

At this moment, a large number of workers came to the military recruitment office in the new city to inquire about signing up for the army. Although they have only been here for a few months, many of them have regarded this place as their home, and many workers have even brought their families here.

Everything here must not be destroyed by Thailand, and they also want to do their part.

The factory did not try to stop them this time. After all, they could still recruit more workers. But this momentum cannot be suppressed now.

The military has once again recruited 10,000 Chinese soldiers in the new city. These people will undergo various training in the new city. They will not be needed in the early stages. According to the plan, these new recruits will be used to carry out law and order management and clear out the remaining soldiers after they have taken over southern Thailand.

Wu Yike is unwilling to let the Chinese recruits go directly to the front line. There are so few Chinese people, so it is better to let the local veterans hold the front line.

The fighting on the front line lasted only a few days, and a large number of Thai soldiers entered the canyon in an attempt to break through the defenses and enter Tanassarin.

However, the large number of artillery on the hills on both sides made it useless no matter how many of them came.

In less than a week, the Thai army suffered losses of more than two thousand, which completely stunned the Thai government.

They had no choice but to urge James for help. James also learned the results of the battle, so he urged Thailand to step up the attack. As long as they broke through the valley defense line, he would let the US military cooperate in the action.

It's fine for him to provide some logistical support, but to let the US military take part? That's just talk. If the war goes well, it's not impossible for them to join the war and gain some benefits.

But the current battle report is very difficult. Tanassarin’s artillery is too abundant, and there are even a large number of anti-aircraft weapons. Wouldn’t it be suicide to let the US military take the field at this time?

If a new battlefield were to open up at this time, he was really afraid that the White House would force him to retire on the spot.

The Valley War lasted only a week before it came to a halt, with the 30,000 troops assembled by the Thai military stuck in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.

At this time, something happened that made the Thai government excited. The troops in the south broke through the Kawthaung defense line and entered the interior of Tanah Ratan.

If they can't attack one place, then they will move to another place. The Thai army went directly south and wanted to fight from the south to the north.

This was exactly what Xincheng wanted. The tragedy in Gaodang City was sent back and published in the Xincheng Daily.

People in various places were excited, and the locals were even more impulsive. Some of them ran south with bows and arrows and other cold weapons, spontaneously wanting to attack the Thai army.

The Xincheng government only said that they would not go south to fight alone, but they did not take any action to stop it.

The locals, who have a strong sense of ethnic identity, are willing to die, but the New City government is secretly laughing.

After the Thai army crossed the border river in the south and occupied the southern plains.

A thousand troops transferred back from the former city of Yeshiva traveled directly to Thailand through an underground tunnel.

With a loud explosion, a large number of armored vehicles rushed out of the tunnel.

All Thais were stunned. No one could have imagined that there were so many troops hidden in the mountains.

The road, which was more than ten kilometers wide, was blocked by the army in less than half an hour.

Then the artillery positions at various locations on the top of the mountain began to output at full strength.

The two Thai brigades left behind in Prachuap Khiri Khan were devastated by the pincer attack.

In just a few hours, Prachuap Khiri Khan was successfully captured.

The defenders of the valley passage also entered Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, and a large amount of building materials were transported to the occupied area by land and airship.

At this moment, all the soldiers were on the scene, and the local Thais had to volunteer to build the fortress defense line under the command of guns.

When the next morning came, after working overtime all night, a large number of bunkers and tunnels appeared on the outskirts of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.

The Thai government was in chaos at the time, and no one had expected that a strategic location guarded by two brigades of troops could be breached so easily.

The Thai army that was wreaking havoc in the southern Kawthaung Plain also stopped all actions at this moment.

Their retreat was cut off and they became isolated.

Under the emergency order of the Thai government, they began to deploy on-site defense and build defensive facilities to guard against attacks from the north and south of the new city.

A few days later, American mediators arrived in the new city.

"Prime Minister Wang, please stop the war immediately and withdraw the troops from Prachuap Khiri Khan Province." The American officer who came over said in a blunt and commanding tone.

"This war was instigated by Thailand, and they must pay the price." Wang Jixin said firmly at the negotiating table.

The day's negotiations ended in a heated argument between the two sides.

However, the war on the front line did not stop. A large number of artillery pieces on the defense line in the southern mountainous area continued to attack the defenders of Gaodang Plain.

Soldiers from Prachuap Khiri Khan province drove tanks and armored vehicles along the road from the occupied area, advancing to the rear of Kawthaung to prepare for an encirclement.

The Thai government did not dare to delay any longer and, at their strong request, quickly launched a second round of negotiations.

The negotiations still failed this time, and the New Town government demanded that all areas south of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province belong to the New Town.

Thailand dared not agree to such terms, so it had to transfer troops from the north to the south in an attempt to increase its chances of winning the war.

The breakdown of negotiations did not affect Xincheng, and it continued to act according to the original plan.

We occupied the area along the highway because the troops here had all fled to the Gaodang area. There were no garrisons in the rear and only some policemen in the city.

These policemen dared not say anything in the face of the fully armed soldiers. They surrendered immediately when they saw the Xincheng troops coming.

This rapid advance made it impossible for the Thai army in southern Kawthaung to respond. They were bombarded by heavy artillery every day and their retreat route was cut off.

They now have more than 30,000 soldiers, but they are suppressed here and cannot move.
