Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The content of this intelligence only reported a fact, "According to the intelligence of the agents of the General Administration of Military Intelligence at the base camp, more than a month ago, the China Army Division troops, consisting of five main regiments, successively left the Korean Peninsula and Manchuria and were transferred to  Hainan Island and the Indochina Peninsula, plus the two original corps there, have gathered a total of more than two million troops in the Indochina Peninsula area of ??the ** Division! "

    The content of the intelligence can be said to be very general and rough. There is neither detailed distribution area of ??each corps of the ** division, nor specific information on troop organization, weapons and equipment, etc., but it is enough. "That China devil, put his  Most of the troops have been transferred to the Indochina Peninsula, obviously targeting the islands in the southwest Pacific that the empire currently occupies!" Emperor Hirohito came to this conclusion as soon as he read the intelligence.

    Why are Tang Qiuli's main troops concentrated in Indochina?  Obviously, they are not here to be spectators. There are more than two million people, which even exceeds the total strength of the Empire of Japan in the Southwest Pacific. It happens to be Ito Genzaburo's Imperial Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, fighting against the Allies on the Australian battlefield.  When the situation was desperate, if this damn Chinaman sent his troops southward Emperor Hirohito broke into a cold sweat at the thought of this.

    "Damn it, damn it" Emperor Hirohito was like a madman who had been strongly stimulated. He used all the vicious words to curse Tang Qiuli, the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire, for destroying the empire's overseas colonies in the north.  Sweeping it all away, now, he has set his greedy eyes on the Southwest Pacific.  This Chinese man's greedy ambition has no end, and he has given in temporarily.  There is no buffering time in exchange.

    The Indochina Peninsula and the current occupied areas of the Imperial Army, Kalimantan and Sumatra, are only separated by the Strait of Malacca. With millions of troops gathered in the Imperial Army, the situation will change unexpectedly at any time. A message was made in the palace.  After the outburst, Emperor Hirohito was discouraged.  Cursing couldn't solve the problem, so a military meeting was held.  An emergency meeting was held in the palace.

    The focus of the imperial meeting was to discuss the purpose of the ** Division troops suddenly gathering on a large scale in Indochina. After learning about several main formations of the ** Division troops.  After the sudden announcement of the southern transfer.  The Japanese military and political officials who attended the meeting immediately felt chills all over. In fact, they knew very well that the China devil's move showed that he was going to attack the imperial army on the islands in the southwest Pacific.

    General Koichi Mineuchi, Minister of Army and Chief of General Staff of the base camp, was particularly shocked and confused, as the head of the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan.  He knew very well that despite the empire's current main military strength.  They are all concentrated in the Southwest Pacific region, but with the Australian battlefield as the focus. Ito Genzaburo's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force has concentrated more than 700,000 troops. The remaining more than 1 million troops seem to be a lot, but they require  Distributed within several occupied areas.

    After more than one million troops were dispersed in Luzon and Mindanao in the Philippines, Kalimantan and Sumatra in the Dutch East Indies, and Sulawesi, Java, New Guinea and other places in the south,  The strength of the imperial army in various places is only about 200,000, which seems to be a lot, but compared with the strong strength of the China Army Division of more than 2 million, it is pitifully small.

    It is obviously not advisable to dispatch troops from the Empire's Southwest Pacific Dispatch Force, which is fighting on the Australian battlefield, to return to the defense to strengthen the defensive forces on various islands. Ito Yanzaburo's troops now have some advantages and can suppress the Australian battlefield.  The Allied forces on the battlefield are fighting, but the advantage is not absolutely obvious. Once the strength of the Imperial troops on the Australian battlefield is weakened, the almost dying Allied forces will definitely have a chance to breathe.

    Next, the Allies will definitely take the opportunity to counterattack, and no one can predict the final outcome on the Australian battlefield. Once the Empire loses on the Australian battlefield, it will be a loss for all. After all, the Allies on the Australian battlefield  There are more than 500,000 troops.

    When Koichi Mineuchi was thinking wildly and feeling worried, Emperor Hirohito spoke, "Dear ladies, the content of today's imperial meeting is to study what was just reported about the sudden southward transfer of several main regiments of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli to the Indochina Peninsula.  Regarding the matter and the countermeasures that the empire should take, would you please talk about it first?"

    The Japanese military and political officials who participated in the imperial military meeting were all like monkey spirits. Who can take the lead first? It is obvious that it is a deadlock with basically no solution. The strength of the imperial army on the islands in the southwest Pacific is facing  Against an army of more than two million soldiers, the defense is insufficient, so how can we talk about countermeasures? As for taking the initiative to attack, that is almost like seeking death?

    The civil and military officials were silent for a while, and the atmosphere in the conference room was awkward and dull. Unexpectedly, Emperor Hirohito did not show sullen anger and blamed the ministers for being silent. He also knew that the ** Division troops were in Indochina.  Pressing the border and threatening the area occupied by the Imperial Army is a difficult problem to solve unless sufficient troops are added to several islands, but this is the biggest problem.

      After several battles with the Imperial Army, the overseas colonial garrison in the north of the empire lost all the Korean garrison troops, the Kwantung Army, and most of the troops dispatched to the Far East. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, the Great Japan  The empire had lost more than 2.5 million elite troops. The country could no longer afford so many reserve troops to defend the occupied areas in the Southwest Pacific. Thinking of this, Emperor Hirohito couldn't help but have a splitting headache.

    "His Majesty the Emperor, everyone, let me first report the latest information obtained!" Lieutenant General Tomoichi Takamura, director of the General Bureau of Military Intelligence at the base camp, took the lead in breaking the dullness of the venue and stood up and said.

    Emperor Hirohito put back his troubled mood and said: "Takamura Ai, what is your intelligence department reporting?"

    Lieutenant General Takamura first bowed to Emperor Hirohito, and then said: "According to the intelligence obtained by the agents of the General Military Intelligence Bureau lurking in the British colonies in West India, it is known that through the Bering Strait, Kamchatka Peninsula, the Far East, and via China  The first batch of Allied reinforcements from the mainland and Indochina peninsula that finally arrived in the West India region, totaling about 120,000 troops in five divisions, are about to arrive on the Australian battlefield! "

    "What? So fast?" Japanese military and political officials all exclaimed. It was a route of tens of thousands of kilometers. It took only more than 20 days, more than 100,000 Allied reinforcements, and a large number of  The equipment needs to cross the icy Bering Strait and Kamchatka Peninsula. Is it impossible to fly?

    Military bosses, including Koichi Yoneuchi, expressed serious doubts about Lieutenant General Takamura's intelligence, "Takamura-kun, your agents couldn't have gotten the intelligence wrong, right? How is that possible? There are more than 100,000 people."  With a long march of 10,000 kilometers and a large amount of equipment, it is impossible to complete the reinforcement operation on the Australian battlefield in more than 20 days!"

    Faced with the doubts of the bosses, Lieutenant General Komura did not rush to argue, but continued with a solemn face: "It is theoretically impossible, but the intelligence sent back by my agents proves this. Five  The 120,000-strong Allied reinforcements are on the East Indian Ocean and will only take about three days to reach the Australian battlefield! "

    "You may be confused, but this is the fact. Intelligence shows that the Allied reinforcements marched lightly, and did not even carry light weapons. They marched hand in hand by air and land. The one who also serves as deputy commander of the Allied Southwest Pacific and China Theater  The Commander-in-Chief, the China Devil Tang Qiuli, is fully responsible for this Allied reinforcement operation and is obviously well prepared!"

    "After the Allied reinforcements arrived in West India, they immediately changed into a full set of weapons and equipment provided by Tang Qiuli, and then, under the escort of the Navy fleet of the First Division, headed for the Australian battlefield. If I say this, you will understand!  "

    After Lieutenant General Takamura finished speaking, he sat down with a dull expression. He had fulfilled his responsibilities, and the rest was the matter of the generals who commanded the operations. "It's that damn China devil again, this damn Chinaman, it's just like  The lingering nightmare of the Japanese Empire!" Almost all the military and political officials were gnashing their teeth and cursing fiercely at the China Devil who had caused heavy losses to the Japanese Empire one after another.

    After listening to Lieutenant General Takamura's briefing, General Mitsuichi Minai felt that this time there was a storm, and he could no longer remain silent. The first batch of Allied reinforcements for the Australian battlefield would be followed by the second and third batches.  until an absolutely superior force is formed against the Imperial Army on the Australian battlefield. It seems that the previously formulated tactics of using steady oppression and gradually exhausting the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield must be changed!

    Mineuchi stood up and said: "His Majesty the Emperor, colleagues, now is not the time to be shocked by the fact that Allied reinforcements have arrived on the Australian battlefield. We must recognize one fact clearly, that is, the longer the Australian battlefield ends, the more Allied reinforcements will  A steady stream of reinforcements will arrive, which will eventually change the situation on the Australian battlefield. By then, an unfavorable situation will arise for the imperial army! "

    "My dear Mineuchi, do you have any good ideas? But it doesn't matter!" Seeing Koichi Mineuchi, who had never been the first to take the lead, he stood up on his own initiative. Emperor Hirohito's eyes lit up and he said urgently.

    Koichi Mineuchi bowed deeply to Emperor Hirohito and said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Your Majesty believes that the Australian campaign must be ended as quickly as possible. In this way, Ito Genzaburo's Empire's Southwest Pacific Expedition Force will be freed up.  Returning to defend the empire's current occupied areas, I always believe that the main force of the Chinese army's ** division is stationed in the Indochina Peninsula with obvious intentions and is the biggest threat to the empire's occupied areas! "

    Koichi Yoneuchi's analysis is correct, and everyone understands it, but the key to the problem is how Ito Genzaburo can annihilate the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield in the shortest possible time and free up his hands at close range. This is a very difficult question.  It¡¯s a difficult problem to solve. Didn¡¯t you, Koichi Minai, fart?
