Part 4 The Journey Chapter 176 Direction (9)

On the premise, the plan is to make the following configuration of the coalition forces before 5:

It is planned to use a total of 50 divisions and 9 special forces brigades to open up the Indian Ocean communication line on the Indian side (including the Burmese side).

On the Siberian and Central Asian side, a total of 53 divisions and 50 special forces brigades were mobilized to open up the communication lines of the Eurasian continent.

In the North Pacific, six Japanese divisions were mobilized to tackle Kamchatka, Aleutian, and Alaska, and to attack Canada and the west coast of the United States.

In the East China Sea, the 810th Division was deployed to strengthen the garrison of Hawaii and the Central Pacific Islands, complete the fortification of Oahu, and attack the west coast of the United States.

The Southeastern Front has increased its strength from the current less than 5 divisions to 10 divisions, preparing for the Papua-Solomon operation to oppress Australia.

China's local garrison is based on 10 divisions (including 5 newly built divisions).

The 4th Reserve Division of the Japanese mainland garrison is the backbone.

The local garrison of the DPRK is based on the 3 Reserve Division.

The local garrison of Luo is based on 1 reserve division.

The Vietnamese garrison is based on one Category B division of the Vietnamese Army and one Category A division of the Chinese Army.

The Philippine garrison is based on the 3rd Category A Division of the Chinese Army.

As for the First South China Sea Group, which is conducting operations in Malaya, and the Second South China Sea Group, which is conducting operations in Borneo and the Dutch East Indies, in view of the fact that the pace of progress is much faster than expected, it is planned to reduce the strength of the former from 12 divisions and one brigade (including allied troops) to eight divisions, and the strength of the latter from eight divisions and one brigade to seven divisions.

Among the above-mentioned deployment plans, the most important thing is the formation of the Indian Ocean Raider Force, which is scheduled to be composed of 10 divisions as the backbone, 40 divisions and 9 brigades of the Southwest Front Army as the backbone. The former units have already entered the attack position and are scheduled to launch a general attack tomorrow, that is, January, while the formation of the latter is still on paper.

In order to form the Indian Front, it was planned to transfer 6 divisions from the 6th Army, which had completed the Vietnam offensive - the 65th Army (129th and 130th Pre-Infantry Division), the 68th (Pre-Infantry 135136 Division) and the ~1st Army (1st and 2nd Vietnamese Divisions).

Seven divisions were transferred from the 7th Army, which had completed the Philippine Offensive - the 9th Army (18th Marine Infantry Division, 115th Infantry Division), 54th Army (107th and 108th Infantry Divisions) and 56th Army (111th and 112th Infantry Divisions).

After completing the Hawaiian Raids, he was transferred to the 1st Marine Corps (2 Marine Armoured/Mechanized Brigades) in the base camp reserve.

The above 14 divisions and four brigades have accumulated considerable experience in amphibious warfare, jungle warfare, and mountain warfare in the early stage of operations, and will be used as the core backbone of the front army and applied to key directions.

The Praetorian Guard Division and the 1st Marine Brigade of the DPRK Army, which are to be transferred from the 1st South China Sea Group as reserves, and the 3rd Asia-Pacific Liberation Army (303rd Infantry Division of the Nanyang Volunteer Army and 304th Infantry Division of the Nanyang Volunteer Army), which have not yet been put into combat

It is planned to be transferred from the Second South China Sea Army as a reserve for the Japanese Guards Division and the Land Battle

The remaining 3 standing divisions were transferred from within the DPRK.

The 3rd Standing Division (1st, 57th) was transferred from within Japan. 2 Reserve Division Regiment (11th).

13 reserve divisions that had not yet entered the battle were drawn from the reserve of the Imperial base camp: the 30th (5560th Division), the 26th Army (51st and 52nd Division), the 5354th, 56th, 60th Reserve Infantry (Hoplite) and the 152153155, 157th,

In addition, the 2nd Armored Brigade (under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Armored Brigade), which was transferred from the Mongolian Front to the base camp reserve, will join the Front after completing the refitting of amphibious equipment.

The follow-up support units of the Front Army will be drawn from the newly established units of the base camp reserve and from the 1st and 2nd South China Sea Group, which have completed operations in the designated theater of operations.

“…… All in all, by 5 parts of this year, the Japanese army will put regiments into the North Pacific side, 2 divisions in the East China Sea, and 6 divisions and 1 brigade in the Indian side. Only 4 divisions can remain in the country. 4 divisions and 1 brigade were thrown into the Indian side, and 3 divisions were thrown into the Siberian side. 3 divisions remained. Four of the five divisions of the Romanian army and two of the three divisions of the Vietnamese army were to be thrown into battle together with the Allied forces. Any questions? ”

Liu Bailiang said, and swept his sharp gaze to the faces of the representatives of the allies.

The head of the North Korean delegation raised his hand tremblingly and said: "This, we Koreans, are we going to fight in Siberia again?" ”

In the Asian-Russian War, the North Korean army, which participated in the war as a vassal of the army, paid a heavy price in the Chita Raid, which is famous in the sea of corpses and blood, so that most of the officers and soldiers participating in the war lost their will to fight, and Siberia became a nightmare for the Koreans, and it was natural that the North Korean representatives would have doubts.

"It's all investigated. The 3rd Division, which was to be requisitioned, was basically from northern Korea, where the temperature was extremely low in winter, and it was more suitable for fighting in Siberia, and these 3 divisions were all armed with Russian weapons captured in the Asian-Russian War. After being sent to Siberia, it can be replenished with captured ammunition from the Russian army. The tasks of these units were also simple, mainly to defend the railway line. Defeat guerrillas, will not be used in siege battles. ”

The North Korean representative, who had a small sharp beard on his chin, still persisted: "In this way, it is scheduled to be used for the 41st Brigade on the Indian side, can Shangguo contract their supply ammunition?"

"Bring your own supplies, replenish yourself, you are 100 to raise 1 soldier, it is impossible to afford it, right? In principle, ammunition should be brought and replenished, and the shortfall should be resolved through trade between the two countries with reference to the practice of the British Commonwealth and its self-governing territories. In case of emergency, you can ask friendly forces for help, and friendly forces will cooperate according to the situation. ”

The representative of the DPRK frowned, and he wanted to say something, and he really did not dare to make too much trouble in the face of the suzerain.

As soon as the Koreans were suppressed on that side, the Japanese representative on this side spoke again: "May I ask Your Excellency Chief of Staff, does our country have the right to command the troops sent to fight in the Indian Ocean?" Does your country share the need for provisions, ammunition and boats? ”

Liu Bailiang sneered in his heart, and said categorically: "There is no doubt that the supreme military command power is, of course, in the joint base camp, followed by the front army headquarters, again the group army headquarters, and again the army headquarters. It is planned that some of your troops will be integrated into the armies of the People's Liberation Army of the Asia-Pacific Region, and some of your armies will be organized into one or two corps, that is to say, the highest military order level of the troops sent by your army to India will be the military level. As for the ammunition vessels, according to your country's national strength, it should not be a problem to bring your own ammunition and transport it yourself. ”

"What's not a problem? Six divisions in the North Pacific and two divisions in the East China Sea are going to fight again, and Japan's national strength is ......."

"Don't forget, you are also 1 of 100 people: Hui, let's not talk about the provisions, we are also very clear about the situation of your country's ordnance production, what is the problem in maintaining the operation of the 14th Division? Also, do you intend to keep your country's 120-ton merchant ships as trophies of the Entente? ”

The representative of Japan blushed and had nothing to say.

One of the soft bellies of the bushido spirit is that he is afraid that people will call him cowardly.
