Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Two days later, in Bangkok, the Japanese Southern Army Command.

A senior staff officer led a Japanese lieutenant general striding into the headquarters. Commander Terauchi Shouichi and Chief of Staff Tsukada Ko took the lead in applauding in the headquarters. It seemed that this Japanese lieutenant general was not small.

The Japanese lieutenant general stood still in front of the two, stood at attention and saluted, and said in a loud voice, "Takuma Nishimura, the head of the First Guards Division, is here to report. Please give instructions from His Excellency Temple and Tsukada!"

"Hahaha, Nishimura-kun, I'm finally expecting you to come, so we have a [-]% chance of winning the Burma campaign." Terauchi Shouyi stepped forward with a smile, tightly held Nishimura Takumo's hand, and shook it vigorously.

The Japanese Guards Division is one of the seven veteran divisions and one of the seventeen permanent divisions. When it was first established, there were only two infantry brigades and one artillery regiment, which were mainly used to guard Tokyo. It is the garrison troops, and the source of troops is to draw elites from various divisions, and it is a Type A division.It can be said that they are the well-deserved elite of the Japanese army, so the number is not too many.

However, since last year, the Japanese army's front line has been stretched and its strength has been stretched, so fifty divisions have been formed at one time. , third, fourth, and four divisions.

But don't think that the combat effectiveness of the expanded team is not enough. After all, it is the Japanese emperor's guard, which represents the face of the emperor. Most of the troops are drawn from various divisions, not retired veterans. Only a small part of them are fresh from school. The recruits who came out. .

Moreover, their establishment is larger than that of the permanent divisions. Although they are also three-three divisions, their strength is close to [-]. They have an independent tank regiment and an independent heavy artillery brigade, so their combat effectiveness is only slightly higher than that of the Japanese permanent divisions. Low, definitely not to be underestimated.

It was precisely because he was the emperor's guard, Nishimura thought that this division commander had more status than other division commanders, so there was such a grand welcoming scene by Terauchi Shouichi.

After exchanging greetings, sitting back at the conference table, Siuchi Shou said, "Mr. Nishimura, when will your troops arrive in Yangon?"

Nishimura pondered: "The army has basically completed the assembly in the mainland and can be dispatched at any time, but the naval transport ship will not arrive until a few days later. It is estimated that it will take half a month to arrive in Yangon at the earliest. Why, the general in the temple wants to advance Launch an attack?"

Shouichi waved his hand and said, "No, no, I can only let go of my hanging heart when all the troops are in place. As for the attack? I still have to wait until the end of the rainy season. In this hateful rainy day, let alone fighting, the roads are muddy and the logistics are difficult. There is no guarantee."

Nishimura pondered, "The end of the rainy season will be at least mid-September, and it's only August [-]th. There must be enough time. But, Your Excellency, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"you say!"

"It may not sound very good, I hope your Excellency will not mind."

"Hehe, honest words are hard to hear, I know, you say it!"

Nishimura stood up straight and said solemnly: "It is undeniable that Jiang Haoran's tactical level is indeed very good, but the expeditionary army only has three armies with less than 15 troops, and the imperial army, except for the three divisions defending western Yunnan, is not Counting my 20st Guards Division, Your Excellency the General still has five divisions in his hand. A Burmese Independence Army with a strength approaching 40, not counting the naval fleet that will enter the Inowady River at that time. Air superiority, although the expedition The army has the No.14 Army Flying Brigade and the No.47 Flying Brigade, and has an absolute advantage in occupying the Myitkyina Airport. It will be put into the battlefield, and it can achieve absolute superiority to suppress the expeditionary force and gain air supremacy. In terms of weapons, the expeditionary force AK[-] is generally equipped with the army, but the imperial army accepts the aid of [-] Thompson submachine guns from the German army, and the hundred-style submachine gun independently developed by the imperial army is also available. A large number of equipped troops, the firepower of the infantry is not inferior to that of the expeditionary army, let alone the support firepower. The expeditionary army only has one heavy artillery brigade and one armored regiment, but the imperial army has two strategic heavy artillery brigades and three tank regiments. The firepower of other infantry support is much stronger than them. It can be said that the biggest threat of the expeditionary force to the imperial army comes from helicopters, but don't forget, the base camp has already replenished a large number of bazooka equipment troops, and the ground and air aided by the German army The missiles are also fully equipped with the southern army, which can completely restrain the attack of the helicopter. In summary, the imperial army has an absolute advantage in this battle, and the victory is unstoppable. Your Excellency, General, is feeling guilty, thinking of Jiang Haoran, who was originally very ordinary, into a god."

As soon as Nishimura Takuma's words fell, the entire command center fell silent. Everyone's eyes were on Terauchi Shouichi, waiting to see his thunderous fury. This was a bit too explicit, obviously saying that Terauchi Shouyi was killed Jiang Haoran was afraid of fighting, he was afraid of hands and feet while holding a soldier in his hand, he was afraid of wolves and tigers in front of him, which in a disguised form boosted Jiang Haoran's ambition, and also caused fear among the soldiers of the imperial army.

But to everyone's surprise, Shouyi in the temple thought for a while, and praised: "Well, Mr. Nishimura is indeed worthy of being the leader of the young and strong faction. This opinion is very unique and spicy. To a large extent, everyone including me The generals of the southern army will over-speculate Jiang Haoran's tactics and tactics, which has indeed caused tactical fear. As Nishimura-kun said, our southern army is strong and strong, and it can completely crush the expeditionary army with overwhelming momentum. Jiang Haoran changes in a thousand ways, I just attack all the way, not afraid that he will not throw away his armor."

The words of Shouyi in the temple immediately won the applause of the whole hall, and then the slogans of the imperial army's bravery and the imperial army's victory were clamored.

At this moment, a senior staff officer rushed over and whispered in Si Nei Shouyi's ear, then took out a telegram and handed it to him. When he unfolded the message, Si Nei Shou Yi's expression changed drastically.

Tsukada Gong at the side also became uneasy, and said anxiously: "Si Nei Jun, what happened?"

Shouyi in the temple remained silent, and handed the telegram to Tsukada Gong. Tsukada Gong picked up the telegram and looked at it, then exclaimed: "What? Jiang Haoran is going to build a bridge over the Inovaddy River and take the initiative to attack the east bank of the imperial army." , Airborne Lashio? Is this?????? This is too impossible? Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?"

"Falcon!"

As soon as Terauchi Shouyi uttered these two words, Tsukada Gong was dumbfounded and stopped talking, obviously knowing the weight of these two words.

Soon, a room full of staff generals followed Terauchi Shouichi and Tsukada Kou into the war room, and the meeting turned from the table to the combat sandbox.
