Lion City, the headquarters of the Japanese * Ben Southern Army. As the expansion of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is about to be completed www.biquge.info Ri* himself seems to smell the smell of gunsmoke getting stronger and stronger. They can be sure that the war will soon begin. This will be a huge challenge for the Japanese and Southern Army.

When the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had only more than 100,000 people, they were defeated on the battlefield in Burma and suffered heavy losses. Now, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has grown to more than 300,000 people, can they still resist it?

"Your Excellency, Commander, based on our analysis of the information we have, the next target of the Chinese attack is most likely Thailand. Even, our intelligence officers have discovered that the Chinese are gathering troops on the Thai-Burmese border. Said the new Chief of Staff of the Southern Army, Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda.

Because the Southern Army fought unfavorably, it lost its troops and lost its generals. Therefore, Lieutenant General Tsukada was transferred and replaced by Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku as the chief of staff of the Southern Army. And this is also a warning from the Japanese base camp to General Shouichi Terauchi. Although, General Terauchi Shouichi has a deep foundation in the Japanese military circles. It is impossible to remove him easily. However, the base camp is already very dissatisfied with the performance of General Shouichi Terauchi.

General Terauchi Shouichi also knows this clearly, so he has been very low-key during this time. He knew that if the Southern Army could not win the victory in the next battle, then he would probably have to bear greater responsibility. The consequences will be even more serious.

"Once the Chinese attack Thailand? How many troops will they put into it? General Shouichi Terauchi asked. His gaze fell on the military map hanging on the wall. He knew that they would fight a fierce battle with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Thailand.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it is not yet clear how many troops the Shina will commit. However, it should not exceed 150,000. Although the army of the people of China was expanded to 300,000. But half of them are just recruits. Those recruits have little combat effectiveness. Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Takahashi Tanda said. After Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki was transferred from the post of deputy chief of staff to the post of commander of the Burmese Front, the post of deputy chief of staff has been vacant. The Burmese Front suffered a crushing defeat, and even Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki was killed. This time, the chief of staff of the Southern Army was replaced, and the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese base camp was also appointed.

"One hundred and fifty thousand? The combat effectiveness of the people of China should not be underestimated! Will our troops in Thailand be able to reach the Sumichina attack? General Shouichi Terauchi asked. If it is said that in the previous time on the battlefield in China, General Terauchi Shouichi completely looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. However, now, he did not dare to have the slightest contempt. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has already used its performance on the battlefield, proving to Japan himself that even the army composed of Chinese is invincible.

"Your Excellency, you don't have many troops in Thailand at the moment. Although, some of the eliminated divisions and independent mixed brigades have been rebuilt. However, combat effectiveness is not guaranteed. Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda was a little worried.

After General Terauchi returned to China to report on his work, he successfully asked for a large number of reserves from the country. Use these reserves to rebuild the troops lost on the battlefield in Burma. Of course, because there were so many troops lost on the Burmese battlefield, it was unlikely to be achieved overnight, but an organized reconstruction. Rebuild the units that were originally part of the other fronts, and then rebuild the units under the Burmese front.

"Your Excellency, the 18th Front Army currently stationed in Thailand has the 4th Division, the 56th Division, the 15th Division, the 22nd Division, the 29th Brigade and the 5th Engineer Corps Headquarters. Of these, with the exception of the 4th Division and the 5th Engineer Corps Headquarters, all were reconstituted units. If the Chinese sent 150,000 people to attack Thailand, the 18th Front Army might not be able to resist it. Lieutenant General Takahashi Tanda analyzed.

The 18th Front of the Japanese Army, although it was able to be replenished. However, even so, the total number of troops was only more than 80,000. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army dispatched almost twice as many troops. If you add in the fact that the recruits don't have much combat effectiveness, they will be at an even greater disadvantage.

"What about those Thai* troops? The people of China called, and they didn't want to be happy. Tell the Thais that their army must fight with us. General Shouichi Terauchi ordered.

Thailand is simply a wall-to-wall in this war. Wherever the wind blows, they fall. In the past, when the British and the French were fighting in Southeast Asia, they were torn between the two countries. After the outbreak of World War II, the Japanese * himself called, and the Thai people did not say a word, and directly fell to the Japanese * himself. Although, this is undoubtedly to avoid the ripples of war in Thailand. However, this also made Thailand regarded by the anti-fascist alliance as an ally of Japan.

This time, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is about to launch an attack on Thailand, and it wants to wipe out Thailand as well. Uproot the rule of the Thai royal family. Then, a local government was established under the command of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and under the responsibility of the local Chinese.

"Your Excellency, the army of Thailand, though there are 600,000 men. However, it is simply not useful. We were able to defeat them with three divisions. Not to mention the army of the Shina people. Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda looked disdainful.

Indeed, in modern times, Thailand has built a modern army of 600,000 men. However, they are already seriously lagging behind, both in terms of combat experience and tactics. Although the equipment is not bad. But once you go to the battlefield, you won't be able to exert your combat effectiveness at all. This is also the reason why they can't wait to surrender as soon as the Japanese themselves call.

"Whether the Thai army can come in handy or not, at least let them be used as cannon fodder." General Shouichi Terauchi said. Now that the Japanese army is insufficient, it can only think of ways in these aspects.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda and Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan both nodded their heads one after another.

"Your Excellency, Commander, in addition to mobilizing the Thai* army, I am afraid that we will have to send reinforcements to Thailand. Otherwise, the 18th Front Army may be difficult to resist the attack of the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda suggested.

General Terauchi Shouichi nodded, if the Southern Army wants to hold Thailand, or even defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Thailand, it will inevitably need to send reinforcements to Thailand. Only then will they have a chance.
