readx;??? In January 1942, the report that China had formed a 400,000-strong Chinese expeditionary force to go to Southeast Asia to reinforce the British and American coalition forces made headlines on the front pages of major newspapers around the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

According to Chairman Chiang, commander-in-chief of the Chinese National Army, the total strength of the Chinese Expeditionary Force formed this time is 400,000, of which the vanguard is the 200,000 Sichuan Army Death Word Regiment.

These 200,000 men will enter Burma in batches as the vanguard in February '42 via the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and then cross the entire Indochina Peninsula and march to Malaysia through the narrow southern peninsula of southern Thailand.

These 200,000 Sichuan soldiers will be responsible for rescuing the British and American forces that are being surrounded in various fortresses in Malaysia, and will also be responsible for preventing the Japanese army from attacking Thailand and the Indochina Peninsula countries in the north, and will also be responsible for finally driving all the Japanese troops attacking Malaysia out of Malaysia.

In fact, these 200,000 Sichuan soldiers have a more secret task that is to completely occupy Malaysia and control the Strait of Malacca from now on.

As the follow-up force of the entire Chinese Expeditionary Force, the 200,000 Central Army led by Sun Liren and Wei Lihuang will join the battle to attack the Japanese army in Southeast Asia by the end of 42 at the latest.

The morale of Britain and the United States and other countries that learned that China had sent troops to Southeast Asia was greatly boosted, and the British and American coalition forces that were trapped in Singapore and other places were actively organizing defense, hoping to support the arrival of the Chinese expeditionary force.

People in Britain and the United States have enthusiastically donated money and materials, and held major rallies to call on their respective parliaments to quickly pass relevant bills to increase aid to China.

Britain, the United States and other countries also responded to the needs of the people and increased their military aid to China at any cost, so a large number of weapons and equipment, military medicines were continuously shipped to China.

Since the day Commander Chiang received military aid from Britain and the United States, Commander Chiang was so happy that he could wake up in his sleep in the middle of the night with a smile. With this military assistance, he could arm millions more well-equipped troops within a few years.

He believed that with China's huge human resources and ample military assistance from Britain and the United States, the day was not far off when he would lead the Nationalist Army to defeat Japan and become a great national hero who saved the country and the people.

At the same time, learning of China's invasion of Southeast Asia, the Japanese army increased the speed of its occupation of Malaysia, and at the same time intensified its attacks on British and American soldiers who were stubbornly resisting in the Malaysian and Singapore areas.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, the southern peninsula where Thailand entered Malaysia was extremely narrow, and as long as a few military forts were built on this long and narrow passage, it would naturally be able to resist the attack of the Chinese expeditionary force. For this reason, the Japanese army requisitioned a large number of local Malaysian natives to build various forts and fortifications in a hurry.

However, due to the extremely poor performance of the squadron on the Sino-Japanese battlefield for more than ten years, the Japanese 500th Division, which is responsible for defending the border between Thailand and Malaysia, did not take the upcoming Chinese Expeditionary Force into account.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, the Chinese army lacked combat effectiveness and tactical quality, so even though it knew that it was about to face the 200,000 Sichuan soldiers who had the upper number, the Japanese 500th Division still did not take the squadron into account.

It's a pity that they forgot that before the Chinese expeditionary force entered the Thai border, the Huaxing Group had been operating in Southeast Asian countries for nearly a decade, when the huge dead character military flag of the Sichuan Dead Word Army fluttered on the border between Thailand and Malaysia.

Before the soldiers of the Dead Word Legion could attack, the Japanese troops responsible for defending the Malaysian border were attacked by several indigenous forces from Malaysia.

It turned out that on this evening at the end of February, dozens of depots, armories, and ammunition depots of the 500th Division of the Japanese Army summoned a large number of surprise attacks almost simultaneously, including important roads, railways, and bridges leading from the border to Kuala Lumpur.

These attacks were carried out in a variety of ways, including mines, bombs, and powerful explosive packs. The common denominator of these attacks is that these natives are extremely well-armed and highly skilled in tactical movements, almost every attack is completed within a few minutes, and even if a single blow is missed, they retreat quickly and without fighting.

If it weren't for the natives who attacked and shouted the authentic indigenous language, the Japanese would have suspected that it was a member of the Huaxing Escort who attacked them.

Because the offensive routines of these natives are so similar to the Huaxing Guards, they always give people the feeling that the antelope has horns and is nowhere to be found.

And then just when the Japanese army was still puzzled where so many powerful natives came from, as if they were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles. The offensive of the Sichuan Dead Word Army on the opposite side began.

Because of the sneak attacks in these dozens of places that night, the troops of the 500th Division of the Japanese Army were greatly mobilized, and the 500th Division's deployment of troops in all directions naturally disrupted the original military infantry station for defending the border between the two countries.

At this time, the Dead Word Army is not the poor and white Sichuan Army a few years ago, they have not only received Li Tie's funding for many years, but also received the latest American aid.

It can be said that the current Death Word Legion has guns and guns, and soldiers are the elite soldiers of a hundred battles. So the offensive of the Dead Word Legion turned out to be the carpet bombing rarely used by the squadron.

As a result, the Dead Word Corps only had dozens of rounds of artillery fire, and one more fierce charge crushed the Japanese 500th Division defending the Malaysian border.

After all, the 500th Division is only a newly established third-rate division of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of the Nationalist Army.

As a result, even with the help of Japanese warships and aircraft, the 500th Division of the Japanese Army still did not hold the Taima-Malaysia border, and under several rounds of attacks by the Death Word Army, it actually took the initiative to withdraw from the Taima-Malaysia border.

After occupying the Tai-Malaysia border, the Death Word Legion did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, first, the logistics supplies had not kept up, and the other was that once they penetrated into the territory of Malaysia, they would be taken care of by the Japanese warships and aircraft and suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, after completely occupying the Tai-Ma border, the Death Word Army immediately repaired the fortifications overnight, firmly attacked the bridgehead of Malaysia, and prepared to prevent the Japanese counterattack.

This battle was only the first exchange of fire between the Chinese and Japanese armies on the Taima-Malaysia border, and although the Japanese army was taken by surprise, the Japanese army did not suffer much loss because the Japanese army took the initiative to evacuate.

Through this battle, the Japanese army has basically figured out the combat configuration and combat effectiveness of the Dead Word Corps. Seeing that the firepower of the Dead Word Legion was so ferocious, the Japanese army was naturally unwilling to lose.

As a result, hundreds of planes and dozens of Japanese warships began to bomb the Thai-Malaysian border in turn. And the performance of the Chinese expeditionary force is also extremely strange.

Under the containment of hundreds of planes and more than a dozen ships dispatched by the Huaxing Group, the Japanese counterattack did not do a good job, and the Japanese army did not repel the expeditionary force that entered the territory of Malaysia.

And the expeditionary force did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead repaired the fortifications extensively, as if they were ready for a long-term confrontation. At the same time, there were hundreds of cities in Malaysia, large and small, almost all of which had indigenous people attacking the Japanese army.

As a result, the Japanese army quickly retracted its defenses, and a large number of soldiers were transferred to various inland parts to suppress the anti-Japanese activities of the natives, and what is even more strange is that the Chinese expeditionary force did not attack because of the large number of Japanese retreats.

The follow-up expeditionary forces have been assembled on the Thai-Malaysian border, but even if the 200,000 expeditionary forces have been gathered, the expeditionary force has not yet taken advantage of the flames in Malaysia to attack the Japanese army. On the contrary, construction was carried out on a large scale, as if they were going to set up camp and settle down on the Thai-Malaysian border from now on.

The Japanese army also took advantage of the fact that the Chinese Expeditionary Force did not attack the Japanese army and stepped up the suppression of the occupied areas. While the Japanese were still busy suppressing the indigenous rebellion.

In the headquarters of the vanguard of the Dead Word Legion on the Thai border, Liu Hengzheng, the commander of the First Army of the Dead Word Legion, was talking cordially with the leader of the Malaysian Indigenous Legion who attacked the Japanese army.
