Chapter 353: Trouble with Shouichi Terauchi

Lion City, the headquarters of the Japanese Southern Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe office of the commander of the Southern Army, General Toshiichi Terauchi, is in a mess at the moment, as if it has experienced a typhoon passing through.

Precious vase antiques have been reduced to pieces. Information documents are scattered all over the place.

General Shouichi Terauchi was panting, and his eyes were red, like an angry bull.

Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda, chief of staff of the Southern Army, Lieutenant General Takahashitan, deputy chief of staff, and a group of senior officers stood in front of him, their heads bowed, and they did not dare to breathe.

"Baga Ya Road! Akito Nakamura, is that guy a fool? How did the battle come to this? With tens of thousands of elite troops of the 18th Front Army and the assistance of 600,000 Thai Army, in just a few days, he lost two lines of defense one after another, lost 4 divisions, and a large number of Thai* troops. Even if it's a pig, it's going to do better than him! General Shouichi Terauchi roared angrily.

After learning that the Japanese army had been defeated again in the defense line of the Wangbin River, he could no longer be calm. The whole person jumped like thunder. Although, the 18th Front has done its best. However, such a result could not satisfy General Shouichi Terauchi at all. Therefore, Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura naturally became the object of his anger.

Now the 2nd and 38th armies are rushing to Thailand. Originally, General Terauchi Shouichi thought that the 18th Front Army would not be able to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, with the assistance of hundreds of thousands of Thai* troops, it should be no problem to delay for a while. After the 2nd Army and the 38th Army felt it, they would be able to fight another decisive battle with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army with superior forces. General Terauchi Shouichi could even conclude that they would be able to win this battle. After all, although the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is very powerful. But after all, it's been a long war. The 2nd Army and the 38th Army were the new forces. There will be no doubt about a brilliant victory while waiting for work.

But who knows, the war situation in Thailand has actually been eroded to such a point. The 18th Front Army and the Thai Army were simply unable to stop the offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and could not even delay it a little. This makes the situation in Thailand very bad.

After the defeat of the 18th Front Army and the Thai Army, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will drive straight in. Even if it doesn't come directly to the city of Bangkok, it will occupy half of Thailand. You know, this is Thailand's main grain producing area! After losing those territories, the grain collection tasks issued by Japan and the country could not be completed at all. At that time, even if General Terauchi Shouichi is in a high position, he must take responsibility for this. Perhaps, his position as commander of the Southern Army will be removed.

General Terauchi has a very high status in both military and political circles. His father, Masashi Terauchi, was a Japanese field marshal and prime minister.

However, the last time the Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefield in Burma and suffered heavy losses. This made the base camp very dissatisfied with him. The voice of removing him is not for nothing. However, after he returned to China to report on his work, he relied on his connections and successfully survived that difficulty. And a large number of additional soldiers were also brought in from the country.

The same thing cannot happen one after the other. If, the Japanese army planted a big heel on the battlefield in Thailand. There are even words similar to the crushing defeat on the battlefield in Burma. I'm afraid that those high-level people in the base camp will no longer give face to General Terauchi. When the time comes, it will be replaced, and that will be a sure thing.

After all, the Japanese army has a large group of generals who dream of becoming the commander of the general army. At present, there are only three general armies in Japan's army, namely the Kwantung Army, the Chinese Dispatch Army, and the Southern Army. The commander of every general army is an army general, and at the same time controls hundreds of thousands of elite troops, which can be described as a high authority. Therefore, I don't know how many people wish that Shouichi Terauchi would be replaced, and then take his place and be promoted to make a fortune.

It took a long time for General Terauchi to vent his anger. Then, he said to the other generals: "Gentlemen, the current situation in Thailand has been eroded to this point. What can we do to save the day? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, the 2nd and 38th Armies are on their way to Thailand. The 2nd Division under the command of the 5th Army will be able to arrive in Bangkok in two days. The rest of the troops will also arrive in Luxi. The 38th Army, because of the poor coordination of the Navy, was a little slower. However, it should also be possible to transport the main force to Bangkok within a week. "The Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda, reported.

The 2nd and 38th armies, which were transferred from Indonesia and Indochina to Thailand, respectively, were transported by sea. However, the contradictions between the Japanese army and navy are well known to all, and it is very common for them to pull each other back. This time, the Southern Army will transport two armies, nearly 200,000 men and equipment, to Thailand. However, the Japanese Navy has shirked it on various grounds. This lawsuit has reached the base camp. But it still hasn't been well resolved. Although the Japanese navy did not dare to openly target the Japanese army. However, with a few means behind their backs, it is enough for them to drink a pot.

However, the Southern Army also had no choice. For the 2nd Army to reach Thailand, it had to be transported by sea. There is no other way. The 38th Army could have gone by land. However, the traffic conditions in Indochina are very bad. If you go by road, you don't know how much time you'll have to wait on the road.

It is precisely because of this that no matter how difficult the Japanese navy is, they can only urge the navy to hurry up as much as possible. There is no other way.

"By the time the 2nd and 38th armies arrived, the situation in Thailand would have become even more decorative. Not to mention anything else, losing most of Thailand has become a sure thing. When the time comes, how will we complete the grain collection task issued by the base camp? If we don't, I'm afraid all of us will be in trouble. Shouichi Terauchi said with a serious face.

His meaning is already very obvious, if something goes wrong at that time, he, the commander, will certainly be replaced. However, the following generals will definitely not be able to run away one by one. Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and no one can run.

The expressions on the faces of several generals suddenly became very ugly. In their hearts, they were also very angry with Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura, who had fought a big defeat. If it weren't for that guy, how could they have been cornered into such a situation?
