Glorious Mission 1937

As soon as Li Wensheng finished speaking, that bastard Li Yifeng began to curse: "The son of a bitch, the Emperor of Japan, has been fighting us Chinese for so many years, and the declaration of war doesn't mention us China, what a fucking bastard!"

Li Wensheng smiled and said, our Chinese government was actually mentioned in the imperial edict of the Japanese emperor, but I didn’t think it was necessary to read it, so I didn’t say it. Since you want to hear it, I’ll tell you about it: ". .....Although, the government of the Republic of China did not understand the true meaning of the empire, and arbitrarily caused troubles, disrupted the peace of East Asia, and finally caused the empire to rise up. It has been more than four years. Fortunately, the national government has been renewed, and the empire We formed friendship with them as good neighbors and supported each other...however, the remnant regime in Chongqing relies on the shadow of the United States and the United Kingdom, and the brothers fight against each other, ignorant of repentance..."

"The United States and Britain support the remnants of the regime, contribute to the chaos in East Asia, pretend to be peaceful in the name of the ambition to dominate the East, and then collude with other countries to strengthen their arms around the empire and challenge me. They also obstructed the peaceful trade of the empire, and finally The severance of economic relations poses a serious threat to the survival of the empire. I ordered the government to restore the situation through peaceful negotiations, and endured for a long time, while the other side has no spirit of retreat, and only delays the resolution of the current situation. In the near future, the economic and military differences will only increase. Threats, in an attempt to make me submit... In the long run, the empire's efforts to strive for the stability of East Asia for many years will come to naught, and the existence of the empire will also be on the verge of jeopardy. Now that this is the case, the empire is now trying to survive and defend itself. Only rise up resolutely and smash all obstacles. The gods of the emperor's ancestors are above, and I firmly believe that the loyalty and bravery of you and the others will surely expand the legacy of our ancestors. Quickly eradicate the root of the disaster, establish eternal peace in East Asia, and hope to preserve the glory of the empire.. ...."

Li Wensheng read the Japanese emperor's declaration of war in one breath, with a sonorous and forceful voice, but no one felt that the content of this edict was so exciting.

"Fucking bastards, black and white are reversed, they are the group of bastards with fathers and mothers who took the initiative to invade China, they are the ones who created the disaster in East Asia in the name of peace, and now they are all pushed to other people, this Japanese also It's too shameless." Shi Jianfei said angrily.

"I've seen shameless people. I've never seen such shameless people!"

.......

"Cough...cough...everyone be quiet!" After everyone quieted down.Chen Feng continued: "Shamelessness is the strong point of the Japanese, and you don't have to punish us for their mistakes. In any case, the war between the United States and Japan is a good thing for us. Let me say something next. Talk about the movement of the Japanese army!"

"According to the judgment of the current situation, I think the Japanese army went south to fight in Southeast Asia. Its combat plan should be divided into four parts: the first is to quickly capture Thailand, the Philippines and Malaya; the second is to enter the Dutch East Indies and implement the Java operation; The third is to consolidate the occupied areas and carry out operations in Burma; the fourth is to concentrate all forces to attack our Nanyang territory and Australia. This is the last step in occupying the entire Southeast Asia."

Hua Rong, who is in charge of the intelligence agency, also got up and said: "The commander's judgment is correct. The latest information received last night shows that the Japanese army sent an ultimatum to the Thai government at the same time as the attack on Pearl Harbor, sending troops to attack Thailand."

Yang Yi also said: "It's normal for Japan to choose Thailand as the first target. Thailand's strategic position is very important: it borders Myanmar in the northwest and Malaya in the south. It is the advance base that the Japanese invaders have long coveted. .”

"On July 7, the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army landed in Songkhla and Pattani in southern Thailand, while the Guards Corps advanced by sea and land, approaching the city of Bangkok. Due to the weak resistance of the Thai army, Bangkok and other places fell one after another. Thai Prime Minister Luang Phi Wen decided to cooperate with the aggressors, and Japan and Thailand officially signed an offensive and defensive alliance treaty. According to the treaty, Thailand gave Japan political, economic and military comprehensive support; Japan supported Thailand in recovering the territories occupied by Britain and France in history. Strap Thailand to its chariot."

Hanae continued: "On the same day as the attack on Pearl Harbor, under the command of Lieutenant General Tomofumi Yamashita, who was reactivated as the Japanese base camp, the advance units of the Japanese 25th Army were in Kota Bharu, Malaya, and Songkhla, Thailand. The two areas began to land, quickly occupied the local airport and the Kra Isthmus, and then divided their troops into three routes to the south. The British army only resisted a little in Kota Bharu, and the British army retreated steadily. The 22nd Air Squadron of the Japanese Navy and the 3rd Air Group of the Army bombed British military bases and airports such as Singapore and Kuantan have severely damaged the British air force."

"On the evening of the 22nd, shortly after the Fifth Division landed in Thailand, the British Far East Fleet's flagship battleship "Prince of Wales" and the battlecruiser "Repulse" were spotted by Japanese reconnaissance planes and submarines when they sailed from Singapore under the escort of four destroyers. Then, it was sunk by Japanese aviation in the southeast waters of Kuantan. Two days and nights after the U.S. Pacific Fleet was attacked at Pearl Harbor, the core ships of the British Eastern Fleet were also wiped out. The Japanese army thus won sea and air dominance. Day 4 The regiment launched an attack along the east and west coasts of the Malay Peninsula at the same time, and quickly moved south through the tropical jungle. The Japanese army, with the cooperation of the navy, captured Kuantan last night and is now advancing towards Kuala Lumpur, which now has only one British infantry brigade stationed , it is simply impossible to be the opponent of the Japanese army, and it is conceivable that the Japanese army will soon capture the entire territory of Malaysia."

"Just as the fighting in Malaya was on the rise, the Japanese army also began to march unstoppably from the mainland archipelago to the Philippines, the country of thousands of islands. The commander of the Japanese army who invaded the Philippines was Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma, and its main force was the 14th Army of the Army. Under its jurisdiction are 2 divisions and 1 brigade. Supporting troops are the 3rd Fleet and 11th Air Fleet of the Navy and the 5th Air Group of the Army, with a total of 43 combat ships of various types and more than 500 aircraft. 7 On September 22, Japanese planes continuously bombarded the Clark Air Force Base of the US Army near Manila. In just a few minutes, more than 100 US planes were easily destroyed. On the same day, the 38th Division of the Japanese Army bombed With the support of artillery fire, he launched a fierce attack on Hong Kong. Although the British troops stationed in Hong Kong resisted stubbornly, they still failed to block the Japanese attack. The British commander, Major General Maltby, was forced to surrender. After three consecutive days of air strikes, the Japanese MacArthur's Air Force was essentially destroyed, and the U.S. Asiatic Fleet had to flee southward in a panic to the Java Sea."

After Huarong finished speaking, Chen Feng interjected: "The general situation is like this. It can be said that the Japanese have achieved impressive results at the beginning of the war. So far, the sea and air forces of the United States and Britain have been completely destroyed, and the ground forces have all been destroyed." We are also being attacked like never before, and the rout is predictable."

"Commander, these Western devils are too cowardly. They were beaten to the ground by the Japanese devils in just a few fucking days. They are so cowardly!" Li Yifeng said disdainfully.

Chen Feng smiled and said: "It can't be said that the troops of Britain, the United States and other countries are weak in combat effectiveness, but because they have sent their elite troops to the European battlefield, and the troops in Asia are what we usually call second devils. It is understandable that their combat effectiveness is weak. of."

"Commander, the little devil is now mainly targeting Southeast Asia, what should we do, should we take this opportunity to mess with the little devil?" Ma Cao asked.

Ma Cao's words spoke the minds of all the officers in the conference room. It had nothing to do with whether the Japanese were fighting Britain or the United States or both. They only cared about what to do in the theater and whether there were new moves.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "According to the agreement reached with the Soviet government, within the next six months to one year, we will sell 200 divisions of weapons and equipment to the Soviet Union, or even more. All the territories occupied by China will be returned to China, involving nearly 300 million square kilometers of land. After discussing with the central government, with Siberia as the boundary, the east will be taken over by our Eighth War Zone, and the west will be taken over by Lao Jiang’s people. Our main task in the next six months is to take back all these lands."

"However, it is not an easy task to take over these lands. First of all, the Japanese Kwantung Army actually poses a huge threat to us. Once the Soviet Red Army withdraws from the Far East, the Japanese Kwantung Army is bound to immediately enter the Soviet Far East. , so before taking over these lands, we must first solve the Japanese Kwantung Army. This is the premise! To put it bluntly, the next main task is to fight, and we still have to fight big and tough battles. Are you ready?"

"Ready at all the time!"

"Ready at all the time!"

"Always be ready!" shouted the officers.

"Very well, remember, you are soldiers, and you must always be ready to fight! But to fight against the Kwantung Army, it is not an easy task to defeat or even wipe them out. In addition, we also need to prevent the Japanese army from attacking the Nanyang Territory. , but also to receive millions of square kilometers of land, so we must expand our military.”

Yang Yi said: "Commander, our army now has a total of 162 million regular troops, with multiple branches of the army, navy and air force. It has been 8 months since the last expansion of the army. With the digestion capacity of our army, within 3 months About 70 troops can be recruited, but right now our army is undergoing a large-scale refit, and a large number of new rifles and artillery have been installed, which has put enormous pressure on the military industry departments in the theater. If the number of troops continues to increase, the supply of new weapons and equipment may not be available. "

Chen Feng said: "It's okay. If the new weapons are not enough, use the old ones. Anyway, the Mauser 98k is no worse than the devil's 70th cover. Since the digestion capacity of the theater is only 70, then start the conscription with [-] as the highest number. The matter will be handed over to the Armed Forces Department, and Lao Yang will be in charge of this matter."

"OK, no problem!"
