September 30th. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Nanhua. Capital city.

The large conference room of the General Staff Headquarters located in the Duzhu Temple in the northwest of the city is being held once a day to report on the war situation and conduct a seminar.

After two weeks of continuous fighting, all fronts are progressing smoothly.

In the Malayan direction, due to the fact that the Japanese troops on the Japanese-German defense line did not send reinforcements, the First Army of the Central and Southern Front captured the port of Baharu in Gota on the 19th, and then the main force of the group army moved directly south along the coastline, occupied Bazo and Richi in Brazil, and advanced to the Japanese-German defense line on the 21st.

Surprisingly, the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, which was originally stationed on the Japanese-German defensive line, took the initiative to retreat, and was replaced by more than 2,000 Japanese troops from the Majiang garrison, a division of the Malay Army, and more than 60,000 indigenous troops. The suicide attack was simply an egg against a stone in the face of the Anjia Army, which was fighting in concert with the ground and air and at the same time had sufficient supplies for the troops moving south along the coastline, and after two consecutive days and two nights of fighting, the First Army finally overcame the Japanese-German defense line and broke through the Terengganu area.

On the 27th, the East Route Army successively annihilated the Japanese troops in Wuluo, Meilan, Binlin, Laji, Tanjung and other towns, advanced to the Terengganu River, and launched a forced crossing the next day, and once again collided with a Japanese garrison and more than 60,000 Malay armed forces.

More than 100 kilometers west of the First Group Army, as the railway between the border town of Suai in Taogong County and the town of Pasir Mas in the middle of the Kelantan River was urgently repaired and opened to traffic by engineers on the 22nd, the 19th Group Army of Lu Sunchen of the Central and Southern Front joined the battlefield and, together with Zhang Zuying's 11th Group Army, formed a huge middle road cluster and moved south at high speed along the railway line running through the middle of the Malay Peninsula.

On the 23rd, after the paratroopers suddenly landed in the upper reaches of the Kelantan River in Tanah Merah and Mazhang to ensure the safety of the railway bridge, the 19th Group Army took the port city of Tanah Merah in Hexi in one day with an unstoppable momentum, and then crossed the river by the railway bridge to defeat the enemy in Mazhang Town.

On the 28th, the 19th Army followed the railway from the Kelantan area through the Tahan Pass and entered the Cameron Plateau in the central part of the Malay Peninsula. The area is under the jurisdiction of the Malay province of Pahang, and the railway route is densely covered with tropical jungle, although there are many mountains but generally not high altitudes, many valleys and river beaches, and the rainy season, continuous heavy rains and swollen rivers have caused a lot of problems for the mechanized troops.

However, due to the support of the railway, and the fact that the trees around the railway line had already been cut down by the Japanese, there was absolutely no problem in logistics, so the 19th Group Army's attack was so fast that the 11th Group Army behind it had also fired a shot at the Japanese army, so that Zhang Zuying complained.

On the Western Route Army, the 10th Army of Zongxingzhen, which was unforgiving, launched an offensive against the Japanese defense line at the foot of the mountain on the 22nd after resting for a day in Beihai and Lutou towns west of Penang.

The 10th Army, which was fighting more and more smoothly, still showed its strong ability to attack fortified positions, destroying more than 4,000 Japanese troops, more than 30,000 Malay troops and nearly 120,000 Malay indigenous armed forces in one day and one night, and almost emptying the armed forces of the Japanese army in Kedah Province.

On the 25th, the 10th Army broke through the line between Pyongan Island and Mt. Besa and entered Perak Province.

On the 26th, the town of Bali Wenta was occupied, and on the 27th, the town of Ba Yanshilai was occupied, and yesterday evening the town of Taiping also fell into the hands of the 10th Army.

On the 23rd of the previous day, the rear clearance operation of the Second Group Army was basically completed, and after the whole army had rested for a while and replenished its troops, it quickly moved south along the railway line, and it was expected that at the beginning of next month, it would take over the tired 10th Army and continue to launch an offensive to the south.

On the northern Burma front, starting on the 19th, Luo Lei's Fourth Army and Jiao Guangxu's First Mountain Army of the Northern Burma Front surrounded the city of Mandalay, and they are now seizing the time to reserve siege materials and strive to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The Fifth Army, which was originally preparing to engage in the siege of Mandalay, crossed the Irrawaddy River at Amarabula, more than 20 kilometers southwest of Mandalay, on the 20th, and then followed the railway line that the Japanese had not yet had time to destroy, from Saya and Welai, to the important town of Ruibao in northern Burma.

On 26 July, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Bi Weimin, commander of the Fifth Group Army, which was moving northward at high speed, launched a siege operation, and after two days and one night of fighting, more than 6,700 Japanese troops, 21,400 Burmese troops, and 70,000 indigenous armed forces were completely annihilated. At present, the whole army is resting and will move north again in the next few days to prepare for an attack on the railway junction of Tatsu, and at the same time cut off the enemy's retreat at Mandalay and Kyaukdang Mountain.

In central Burma, the Sixth Army of Wei Yihang and the 21st Army of Li Zhenhan, which were responsible for the southward operation, and the town of Suva, 30 kilometers south of Mandalay, were also divided into two along the railway bifurcation, one route went directly to the south along the line of Misha and Mondun, preparing to join forces with the railway hub city of the Third and Fourth Mountain Group Army, which launched an attack on Taunggyi in late September, and the other was along the railway along the Irrawaddy River, attacking Muda, Welu, Nadoki, Minjian, Kyaukbodong, Ringanqiang and other places, aiming at the central railway city of Pitya.

Because it was a plain battle, coupled with the air supremacy of the Anjia army, and the railway supply in the rear, although the battle was very cruel, the two armies were like a bamboo, and the good news was frequent. However, as the battle line lengthened, the occupied areas were constantly attacked by Japanese troops and Burmese troops who retreated to the countryside, the railway line was interrupted from time to time, and the officers and soldiers were attacked by local indigenous suicide bombers from time to time, which affected the morale of the army to a certain extent.

In the northeastern part of India, the 2nd and 3rd Mountain Armies of the Northern Burma Front broke out of Mount Patkai on 24 July, suddenly appeared in the plain area of the Brahmaputra River pass, occupied the towns of Margarita, Digboy, and Dinsukiya, and while rushing to repair the airport, the troops were divided into two routes, along the railway, and attacked and advanced to the southern area of Assam.

So far, the main forces of the Japanese and Indian armies have not been found, and the progress is very smooth.

Looking at the Burma battlefield, because the main force of the Japanese army did not appear, and at the same time the battle line was too long, the overall situation was in a state of anxiety, and only after the capture of Mandalay would the battle situation gradually become clear, and now it will depend on the ability of the Fourth Army and the First Mountain Army to attack fortified positions.

In the East Indies Battlefield, after the area south of the Ganges River took Patna City on the 18th, Liao Minlin's Seventh Army and Zhou Dingcheng's Ninth Army, the two major armies, divided two motorized infantry divisions to continue to sweep away the remnants of the enemy, and the remaining two tank divisions and two motorized infantry divisions approached Bihar City.

Bihar City is a city with a population of more than 100,000 people, and Bihar got its name from the city, but later with the rise of Patna City, the capital of Bihar moved to Patna City. Although this area is rich in rice, wheat, beans, sugar cane, jute, etc., due to the backward production relations that are close to serfdom, the development of Shengli is restricted, and it is currently a poor area in India, and the city of Bihar is also dilapidated due to financial difficulties.

On the 21st, when the main force of the Anjia Army approached the city, the Japanese army fled without a fight and took the initiative to retreat to the mountains in the south. According to the order issued by the Japanese army base camp, the Japanese army coerced the insensitive indigenous people, and the thousands of miles of plains were uninhabited and looked desolate.

Under the close monitoring of the Japanese Air Force, as long as the weather permitted, the Air Force frequently dispatched bombardments to combat the flow of fleeing people, and the Japanese army, the Japanese and Indian troops and the people they praised died countless deaths on the plains where there was no place to hide, which can be called a journey of death.

Unlike China, India's railway network extends in all directions, so the attack on the East Indies was mainly based on occupying major cities along the railway, and then using the railway line as a branch to gradually tie the hands and feet of the Japanese army and force it to submit.

Seeing that the Japanese army had no intention of engaging the Lou army for the time being, Zhang Chengzhu and Li Jinlong once again engaged Fang Jide's 14th Army on the south bank of the Ganges River, and occupied the central railway city from the city of Patna to the south and directly into the city of Geya in the south of Bihar, and on the 29th occupied the city of Cherbo on the shore of Lake Birze, blocking the way out of the remnants of the Japanese army retreating into the mountains.

After handing over the defensive task to the B troops, the Seventh and Ninth Armies regrouped, and the six divisions were divided into two routes, with two motorized infantry divisions advancing eastward along the railway on the south bank of the Ganges River, and occupying the important town of Éng Gil at the northern foot of the Berhand Mountains on the 28th, while the other two tank divisions and two motorized infantry divisions moved south from the town of Jemuyi between the Burkhand Mountains and the Bersa Mountains, and occupied the important city of Deokr in the southeastern part of Bihar on the 29th.

The final goal of these two armies was to meet the city of Kindnagar on the west bank of the Hooghly River, and then to attack Calcutta.

On the north bank of the Ganges, Sun Desheng's Eighth Army and Chi Zongyuan's 13th Army attacked each other alternately, and after capturing the city of Muzaffarpur on the 18th, they marched eastward along the railway on the north bank of the Ganges, occupying the city of Semastipur on the 20th, the city of Dersingh Serai on the 22nd, Begusharai on the 26th, and Keglia on the 29th.

Comparatively speaking, the north bank of the Ganges River is narrower, and the railway network is not as complex as the south bank, making it easy to fight.

However, in order to strengthen the liquidation of the remnants of the Japanese army, the remnants of the Indian army and the indigenous armed forces in the vast rural areas on the north bank of the Ganges River, Qin Zhirong's 15th Army entered the battle on the north bank of the Ganges, focusing on clearing the landlord forces in the northern parts of Birgenj, Merlengua, Janakpur and other places, fighting against the remnants of feudalism, and at the same time assisting the work of the Category B troops and the Democracy Movement Corps.

The big problem facing the Indian theater is that this territory is too vast, and the eight group armies plus the logistics and heavy troops are almost one million, but after they are scattered into the vast rivers and lakes plains, they are still unable to control each region, and there are many loopholes between the battle lines, so it depends on whether the Japanese army has the courage to seize these omissions and fight a decisive battle with our side.

"Overall, the battle went relatively well, but there were some unsatisfactory points...... As the war continued, the tactics of the Japanese army have gradually become violent, that is, they have taken the initiative to abandon the plains and shallow hills that are not dangerous to defend, abandon the villages and towns with small populations, burn down houses, fields and plantations, blow up mines and mines, concentrate personnel in mountainous areas or major cities, build multiple lines of defense, drive the natives to launch suicidal attacks, try their best to consume our army's ammunition, and then defend the city, even if our army captures these places later, there will be large casualties.

"In addition, it is the cold guns and suicide attacks of the indigenous people everywhere. So far, we have had hundreds of officers and soldiers injured or even killed in contact with the indigenous people, which has had a certain negative impact on the morale of our troops. Later, according to the intelligence of the anti-war in various theaters, the people who engaged us were basically the local garrison units of the Japanese army, and the main force was only a 53rd division around Mandalay, and the other troops had not yet come into contact, so we must beware of the counterattack of the Japanese army! ”

After listening to Yang Fei's briefing, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and everyone felt a headache about the hostility shown by the natives.

In the previous battles to recover Annam and Siam, due to language and cultural reasons, coupled with the fact that the Chinese had been integrated into the local society, there was not much obstacle to the actions of the Anjia Army, while in Central Asia and Siberia, due to the resistance to the Soviet Union's national cleansing policy and the Far Eastern Army as the leader, the recognition of the Anjia Army increased greatly, and there was no big problem.

In Afghanistan and the West Indies, Sheng Shicai's perverse actions gave the Anjia army a righteous excuse to send out the army, and the march to B was under the guise of expelling the Soviet army, while the strategy of attacking the coast of B Gulf and Iraq won the support of the local public because of the frenzied plundering and indiscriminate killing of the Japanese army.

At present, although the Japanese army is still not good to the natives of Malaya, Burma and the East Indies, they have helped to establish national governments and promised to give these countries the right to be independent after the war, and at the same time, the Japanese colonizers have also tried their best to portray Nanhua as an invader who wants to get involved in these areas, and they have a certain moral advantage, winning the support of some nationalists, and the Japanese army has taken decisive measures after the war, such as taking hostages and threatening them, to drive the natives to adopt extreme means of warfare, which has today's predicament.

An Yi is also very nerve-wracking, how similar is the scene encountered by the current An Jiajun to the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan in later generations?

According to the experience of later generations, it is very difficult to stop these ethnic hatreds!

These countries in Southeast Asia often swing between the great powers, and most of the time they act as the vanguard of the massacre against the Chinese almost every few years or more than ten years, and as far as the overall interests of South China are concerned, this situation is absolutely not allowed.

The current territory of South China is divided into two parts, east and west, which must be connected by land, and from the perspective of the country's long-term peace and stability, at least the central and northern parts of Burma and the northern part of East Indies should be included in the territory of South China.

Moreover, there is a general fear of the former suzerainty in the minds of the natives, and there is no desire for the Chinese who have a large number of immigrants and far-reaching influence in Southeast Asia to make a comeback. In this way, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the national interests of South China and the interests of those indigenous people.

Seeing that everyone couldn't come up with an effective solution, Yang Jie couldn't help it, stood up and said fiercely: "The amount is not a gentleman, it is not a husband, it is not a husband, the current situation no longer allows us to hesitate." If Americans can build concentration camps in large numbers in the United States to house Japanese Americans, why can't we build concentration camps in large numbers in the areas we occupy?

"My opinion is that all the natives who are making trouble should be put in concentration camps, and then they will be divided into camps when the war is over. out of some areas, to these natives to inhabit. Taking India as an example, we have already planned at the beginning that we will not want Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and the southern part of Bihar, but we will first confinish the Indians in the occupied areas according to different regions, and after the East Indies are pacified, they will be divided into different countries that we have established with our support according to race, religion and personal will.

"Another example is Burma, where the Tanintharyi region of southern Myanmar is vast and sparsely populated, with the rolling Birao Mountains in the east as our border, and the south of Yeh Cheng is also a natural dividing line. This relatively closed area can be used to contain those mobs, and they will have to make trouble there in the future! ”

An Yi was a little disgusted at first, but after thinking about it, under the current circumstances, Yang Jie's suggestion may be a good choice.

However, there is a problem with this, if it is forcibly implemented without foreshadowing, the future South China government will surely become the target of public criticism and be criticized by the world.

An Yi thought for a while before he said, "Brother Geng Guang's suggestion is good, but we can do it a little more cleverly, so that we can salute first and then soldier." In the future, every time we occupy an area, we will sign an agreement on a village-by-village basis, and all the villagers will sign and pledge it, so as to ensure that there will be no sabotage of railways and highways, cold shooting, or suicide bombing, etc., and if it is violated, the whole village will sit together! At the same time, we will give heavy rewards to those who report the whereabouts of the Japanese army and the puppet army, and enjoy preferential treatment when distributing land and going to work in the city in the future!

"We are the embodiment of justice, we don't punish without teaching, we give them a chance to choose in advance! If they don't grasp it well and insist on going against us, then they can't complain about us for implementing Lei Xia's methods! By the way, we can also tell our American allies about the difficulties we face and the choices we have made, and ask the Americans to vouch for us! Now that the war in the Pacific and Indian Oceans is in an emergency, and the young people of America are throwing their heads and spilling their blood, Roosevelt is probably more likely than the people in our seat to open up the situation sooner! ”

"Wonderful!"

Hu Jialin, Deng Bin and others "have bright eyes, you must know that the current national governments of Malaya, Burma and the East Indies have all chosen to join the camp of the Mind-Pumping Countries and declared war on the allies, and now this kind of almost crazy suicide attack is undoubtedly barbaric and ignorant in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, and is incompatible with Western civilization."

Looking at the graceful surrender of the French a year ago, and the gentleness with which Germany and Britain fought like ancient knights in the North African and Middle East wars this year, those civilized people will feel more and more that these natives are backward and unbearable. Moreover, the opening of the mainland communication line in South China and the complete expulsion of Japanese troops from the Indochina Peninsula and the subcontinent will greatly weaken Japan's war potential. Taken together, it is in line with the universal values of this era to take the approach of courtesy before soldiering the natives!

As a result, the meeting quickly adopted An Yi's proposal, and quickly ordered all theaters to immediately implement it, and to oppose all "anti-Lou" actions that undermined the War of Resistance. molecules, never tolerated and soft-handed!

Just as An Yi was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting, Intelligence Minister Liu Qing walked into the conference room quickly and handed him a thick telegram.

After reading it, An Yi was both surprised and reasonable, and thought about it and simply asked the staff officer to hang a large map so that everyone could understand the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield.

It turned out that as of about 8 o'clock yesterday evening, the battle of Kiev, the largest encirclement and annihilation battle in the history of war, had come to an end.

This encirclement and annihilation battle of unprecedented scale officially began on 16 September, and the troops of the Southwestern Front of the Soviet Red Army were divided and surrounded by the German troops from behind, and fell into chaos.

On September 17, Stalin, the loving father of the Soviet people, finally came to his senses and asked the Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, Marshal of the Soviet Union Shabshnikov, to order to agree to the breakthrough of the Southwestern Front, but it was too late.

On September 19, after three consecutive days and three nights of fierce fighting, Kiev fell, and the Southwestern Front distributed the main forces on the east and west banks of the Dnieper, and continued to fight in the encirclement of the German army.

The attempt of the Central Front under the command of the Soviet Army Yegorov to relieve the siege of the Southwestern Front was inconclusive due to insufficient troops, and Marshal Timoshenko had to command the troops to break through to the east in small battle groups, and a total of 150,000 officers and men were able to highlight the German army's heavy encirclement.

On 20 September, the commander of the Southwestern Front of the Soviet Red Army, Colonel-General Kir B. Nos, the member of the Military Council, Burmystenko, and the chief of staff, Major General Tupikov, were killed in a breakout battle, and the commander of the Soviet Fifth Army, Major General B. Tank Corps, was captured.

At 8 p.m. on 29 September, the main force of the Southwestern Front was basically completely annihilated.

The day before, Timoshenko led the remnants of the Southwestern Front, as well as troops drawn from the Reserve Front, and received the task of organizing a strong defense on the front line of Belobliye, Hisaki, and Krasnograd.

The entire battle of Kiev lasted more than two and a half months, and was carried out on a large territory of more than 300 kilometers in front and about 600 kilometers in depth, during which the Soviet army lost about 700,000 people, 670,000 were captured, and the Germans destroyed or captured nearly 1,000 tanks, 4,000 artillery pieces, and more than 4,000 handles.

In this battle, the German army also lost more than 100,000 people.

As a result of Stalin's pride, more than 800,000 Soviet troops were encircled, and the fate of the encircled Red Army was sealed since the German army returned to its position. For the Soviet Red Army, the encirclement was unbelievably large, and it was impossible for them to break through the encirclement without the leadership of motorized forces or military geniuses.

The 17th Army Corps and the 6th Army Corps of the German Army Group South, with the support of the armored forces of the 2nd Army Group Center, continued to shrink the encirclement, the encircled Soviet army did not give up Kiev easily, in a brutal battle, the Soviet soldiers were eliminated by German artillery, tanks and aircraft, and then, on the evening of September 29, the latter Soviet army surrendered to the area east of Kiev, the German army claimed to have captured more than 600,000 Red Army soldiers, and the German Führer Hitler Berlin proudly declared, saying that this was the largest battle in history.
