Ma Battambang, the division headquarters of the 53rd Division of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono, is studying the current situation with Major General Uno Jie, the commander of the 72nd Brigade and Regiment of the Independent Army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although, the 53rd Division and the 72nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade combined, there are more than 24,000 people. However, this is not a Chinese battlefield, and it is not a Chinese* army that is being faced. If it was a battlefield in China, Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono would not have to worry at all. With their combat effectiveness, they are enough to cope with any crisis. Even if it is not an opponent of the enemy, there is no problem with a safe retreat.

However, the enemy they are facing now is the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Countless previous battles have proven it. Known for its strong combat effectiveness, and swept across the entire western Pacific Ocean, the Japanese Army. In front of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it is really nothing. Almost every battle ended in defeat. They didn't even win a single victory. Over time, this made the Japanese army fearful of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

These days* I really can't understand why the same Chinese are so different from the battlefield in China and the South Seas? Although, the weapons equipped by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Nanyang are much more advanced than those equipped by the Chinese * army. However, there is also a world of difference between the fighting will and fighting qualities of the two sides.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, can we really defeat the people of China this time? I'm afraid it's not good! Major General Uno was a little worried.

"Uno-kun, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable for us. But we can't let that stop us from having faith! The people of China are in the South Seas, although they are getting stronger and stronger. However, it was the Dainichi Empire that was the most powerful. We're not going to watch them win over and over again. On the battlefield of Indochina, we will put an end to the victory of the Indochinas. The elite troops of the Empire itself have begun to assemble and will soon arrive on the battlefield of Indochina. When the time comes, the Chinese will be defeated by us here. Thus losing the entire war. "Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono is full of confidence.

Major General Uno nodded. Their only hope may be reinforcements from home. If the mainland can send a truly elite force to the Indochina colonies. They may really be able to inflict heavy losses on the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, or even defeat them, and regain their superiority in the whole of Nanyang.

The speed of development of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is really too fast and amazing. If they are given a few more months of development, it will probably be even more difficult for the Japanese Army to eliminate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. After all, the overall strength of the Japanese army is still very strong. But there are just as many fronts they have to take care of. It is simply impossible to concentrate all forces against the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

At this time, the chief of staff of the 53rd Division, Naoki Kimura, walked in.

"Your Excellency, the Divisional Commander, the Chinese have crossed the border, and they are approaching Battambang. At the pace of their advance, it is expected that they will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and the morning after tomorrow at the latest. We have to prepare in advance. Naoki Kimura reported.

"The people of China have finally begun to attack. The battle for the survival of the Great Day* Empire has finally begun. Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono said with a serious face. Even though he was confident that the Japanese army would win this battle. But he had to admit that the enemy was strong. Even if they want to win, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

"Are there many troops attacking the Shina people?" Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono asked.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the numbers of the two infantry divisions of the Chinese have been discovered. In addition, there is the number of an armored unit and an artillery unit. Naoki Kimura replied.

"It seems that the people of China have invested in the main force. Order the subordinate wings to enter combat readiness. In addition, a telegram was sent to His Excellency the Commander that the Chinese had launched an attack. Next, we will start to act according to the predetermined plan. Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Naoki Kimura nodded.

"By the way, did the 18th Division, the 31st Division and the 24th Brigade Regiment enter the predetermined position?" Lieutenant General Etsujiro Kono asked.

According to the information obtained by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the main force of the Japanese army was still east of the Mekong River and west of Cave Sari Lake, with only two divisions and two independent mixed brigades. Actually, it's not like that at all. The Japanese Burma Front, except for the 33rd Division and the 49th Division, which were reinforcing fortifications east of the Mekong River, the rest of the troops had secretly gone to Donsari Lake. In order to avoid being discovered by the reconnaissance planes of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they went out day and night along the way. Also, in order to achieve complete confidentiality. The Japanese army's march route avoided the town as much as possible. Even in the villages that could not be avoided, the Japanese army slaughtered all the indigenous people. In this way, it can undoubtedly ensure that their news will not be leaked.

The reason why the Japanese army spent so much money on Zhou Zhang had only one purpose, that is, to trap the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Once the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army attacked Battambang, the Japanese troops stationed in Battambang would put up a little resistance and then immediately retreat. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would never let the Japanese retreat so easily. When the time comes, there will definitely be an attack.

The Japanese army could take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack against the pursuing forces of the Japanese National Salvation Army. At the same time, the Japanese troops stationed in Siem Reap would also immediately stop and intercept the follow-up troops of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Buying time for the main force of the Japanese army to destroy the pursuing force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

At that time, even if it is an infantry division or even a brigade that can completely annihilate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, this will be a rare victory for the Japanese army!

You must know that in the entire Nanyang battlefield, the Japanese army and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army have fought for such a long time, and they have never eliminated a single unit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in a structured manner. Even if it's an infantry battalion or infantry company, let alone a regiment or a brigade. If they can achieve such a breakthrough, it will be a great encouragement to the entire Southern Army.

At the same time, after this battle, the Japanese army was able to retreat smoothly to the east of the Mekong River, and then cope with the attack of the angry Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Once they are on the Mekong defense line, once again the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will suffer heavy losses. Then, it seems that it will be very easy for the Japanese army to win the Indochina campaign.
