The war was raging on the islands of the Pacific, and the Japanese army in the Indian subcontinent was still advancing westward, having crossed the Karachi region and the main forces entering Iranian territory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although most of the British Empire troops fled by boat, the commander of the Japanese 15th Army, Iida Shojiro, had no intention of stopping the advance.

Because, their task was to advance westward to open communication channels with Europe and join up with the German and Italian armies.

However, the recent period of supply and ammunition replenishment has been very untimely, which has affected the army's operations. Commander Shojiro Iida ordered his men to go to the East India Company and ask what was causing the untimely supply.

The reason of the East India Company is very simple, saying that there has been a little accident on the transport road recently, and it is believed that this is just an accident and will not have much impact on the logistics support.

To be honest, no one can guarantee that the transportation route will always be smooth, and accidents are inevitable, such as the disruption of roads due to mudslides, robbery by bandits, or other reasons, which are unpredictable.

Therefore, the Japanese expeditionary force did not pay much attention to the short-term shortage of supplies and continued to open a passage to the west.

However, when the Japanese army entered Iran, the army was almost out of food, which was not a trivial matter, and the commander of the 15th Japanese Army, Iida Shojiro, was really anxious this time.

Nima, an army of hundreds of thousands of people, consumes an astonishing amount of food every day, and there is no food to starve to death.

Watanabe Daisa, who was in charge of liaising with the East India Company, came to the East India Company in a hurry, and there must be a saying today, Nima, do you want to starve us to death?

The empire paid a lot of gold, and almost all of the gold it was stolen from the Indian subcontinent fell into the pockets of the East India Company, don't we know that gold is very pleasant?

It's good to have a little professionalism, a little bit of contract spirit, and we have a contract between the two sides.

Watanabe, this guy is stupid, doesn't he know that there is a contract in this world that is used to tear up?

This time the East India Company seemed to be indifferent, and did not give an explanation, but only handed Watanabe a letter and asked him to go back and hand it over to their commander.

Watanabe Osa was confused, why was the other party's attitude so indifferent, and the change was too fast, right?

In the past, it was a reception of good wine and meat, and Watanabe Osa was very lucky to have such an errand to arrive, and he was willing to run to the side of the East India Company if he had something to do, and his purpose was self-evident.

Who doesn't like to enjoy it, can there be such conditions during the expedition of the imperial army?

Unable to get an answer from the East India Company, Watanabe Osaku was very disappointed and dripped away.

There's no way, people have issued an eviction order with a cold face, can they still stay here?

Watanabe Osa was very aggrieved, and on the way here, he was full of expectations to eat and drink.

The wish is beautiful, but the reality is that I go back hungry, Nima, don't mention it's all tears.

The commander of the 15th Japanese Army, Iida Shojiro, was also very strange in his heart, Watanabe Osa ran away but didn't get an answer, and only brought back a letter, what does Shenma mean?

If you want to know the answer, I'm afraid there is only this letter, and the commander Shojiro Iida had to open the letter and read it.

It doesn't matter what the letter is, the more you look down, the more frightened you become, and Shojiro Iida's hands begin to tremble, which shows that his mood is evident.

Suddenly, the commander of the 15th Expeditionary Army, Iida Shojiro, raised his hand and slapped the table and shouted: "Eight grid tooth road, it's just nonsense!" ......”

This guy wanted to continue, but he suddenly closed his mouth, the situation is so serious, it can't be leaked out in advance.

Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida, commander of the 15th Army of the Japanese Expedition, took a deep breath and said, "Go and call the chief of staff, Major General Haruki Isayama, and say that if you have something to discuss with him, you can all go down." ”

By the time the chief of staff, Major General Haruki Isayama, came in, the people in the room had been sent out by the commander, Lieutenant General Shojiro Sakata.

"Sakata-kun, calling me back in such a hurry, is there something urgent happening?" As soon as he entered the door, Major General Haruki Isayama only saw the commander himself in the room, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

Lieutenant General Shojiro Sakata did not answer directly, but handed the letter of the East India Company to Major General Haruki Isayama, and said: "See for yourself, there is a big trouble now, and the supplies have not arrived, but I am waiting for a letter to come back." ”

Major General Haruki Isayama opened the letter and read it, the expression on his face was interesting, and his face was cloudy under the stiff muscles.

"Eight squares! It's just nonsense, how could the empire perish, and the emperor couldn't die, and the gossip was not credible. Major General Haruki Isayama slapped his palms on the table, his chest bulging, obviously angry.

Lieutenant General Shojiro Sakata shook his head, took out a telegram, and said: "It's hard to say, this is a telegram from the imperial garrison stationed in Thailand asking for help. I've tried it just now, and all the local contacts have been cut off. ”

Major General Haruki Isayama frowned and said, "Maybe it's a coincidence, there may be a technical failure when you can't contact you for the time being, maybe the communication will return to normal after a while." Nani, the Northland Volunteers have threatened Thailand? ”

While he was talking, there was a staff officer report outside the door: "Commander, urgent message from the Malay Peninsula." ”

Commander Shojiro Sakata beckoned the staff officer to come in, and took a look at the telegram, which said: "The Malay Peninsula is about to fall, and the communication with the Tokyo base camp has been cut off......

This is a half-intercepted message, and the content that follows it is not sent, indicating that the situation is not good.

Commander Sakata Shojiro's expression was gloomy, and he said sadly: "Malay is also finished, Yamashita Fengwen is more auspicious, take a look, I am afraid that what the Northland Volunteer Army said is true." ”

After reading the telegram, Major General Haruki Isayama was not calm this time, and it turned out that the Northland Volunteer Army was dispatched on all fronts, and even the Indochina Peninsula and Malay fell, and it was really difficult to say how much was left in the whole of Asia.

Thinking about the time when the Northland Volunteers went south to the Northeast and occupied the entire area, including the Northeast Asian Peninsula, in one day, it can be seen how powerful the Northland Volunteers are, which is really terrifying.

The heart of the Northland Volunteers is very clear, if you want to live, you must obey the command, otherwise, you will starve to death of the Japanese 15th Army.

Nima, no wonder there was a shortage of supplies during this time, it turned out that the Northland Volunteers had already planned to cut off supplies and blackmail the Japanese army into submission.

Major General Haruki Isayama looked at the commander for a moment, the problem was too big for him to make up his mind.

Commander Shojiro Sakata said: "Call all the division commanders back to discuss, where to go, everyone has the right to speak." ”

Chief of Staff Haruki Isayama nodded, it seemed that this was the only way to go.

The commander of the 33rd Division, Lieutenant General Sakurai Province, the chief of staff Takao Murata Osa, the commander of the 55th Division, Lieutenant General Hiroshi Takeuchi, and the chief of staff Genicnosuke Kato...... The commanders of the divisions of the 15 th Army came one after another.
