Reinforcements are coming! This news is undoubtedly good news for the generals of the Burmese Front. After the end of the southern battle of the southern part of the www.biquge.info Tung Sari Lake, the Burmese Front was in crisis. Even if the Mekong River is a large river, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for the Burmese Front to defend it.

What's more, after the battle in the southern part of Lake Dongsari, their morale was also greatly affected. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was even more powerful than they imagined.

But now, the news of the imminent arrival of reinforcements has once again boosted their confidence.

"Your Excellency, Commander, will reinforcements arrive in a week? In that case, we should have no problem holding on to the Mekong for a week. Lieutenant General Yanagida Motozo, commander of the 33rd Division, said excitedly.

"Well, in a week, reinforcements will arrive." Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura nodded.

"Your Excellency, Commander, how big is the reinforcements? Which troops are the main ones? Lieutenant General Nobuo Tanaka, commander of the 49th Division, also asked.

"The reinforcements are the Nanyang Task Force composed of elite divisions such as the 1st Tank Division and the 11th Tank Division, including a total of 1 Tank Division and ten Infantry Divisions, with a full 200,000 people!" Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said.

"Two hundred thousand? Also included such an elite as the 1st Tank Division? ”

"Great, this time we will definitely be able to defeat the Shina. Let those people taste the power of the elite troops of the Great Ri* Empire. ”

The generals were all excited. It's as if the previous failures have become insignificant. Victory, it will come soon. They will truly be ashamed and defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the difficult problem before us now is how to hold the Mekong defense line within a week. The Chinese have now reached the west bank of the Mekong, and their offensive will begin soon. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the people of China have gained the upper hand. However, the Mekong River is wide. With the exception of a few specific areas, the rest of the river is wide. As long as a certain number of troops are deployed, it will not be so easy for the people of China to cross the river. Eventually, they will surely lose a lot in the Mekong. Lieutenant General Taro Nakanaga, commander of the 18th Division, said.

The other generals all nodded their heads again and again. If they were to find a way to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it would indeed be too difficult for the strong, and it would be impossible to do it. But only for a week on the Mekong Line. Perhaps, it's not a big deal.

Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro nodded with satisfaction, these generals once again have the confidence to confront the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which is undoubtedly the best. In this way, they will have a better chance of winning in the next battle.

"Tanaka-kun, let's arrange a combat mission!" Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said to Major General Shinichi Tanaka.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Maj. Gen. Shinichi Tanaka, chief of staff of the Burmese Front, nodded, then stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Mekong River defense line we have built is 200 kilometers long from north to south. Although, the whole section of defense is not very strong. But fortunately, the Mekong River is relatively wide. The vast majority of the river is more than a kilometer wide. In this way, many of the firepower advantages of the Shina people will not be brought into play. The only sections of the river to worry about are three. That is the southern end of Kampong Cham, the northern part of Phnom Penh, and the western part of Hung Yu. In all three sections, there are large sandbanks. This makes the river narrower. If the Chinese attack from these three places, we will face several major threats. Therefore, these three river sections will also be our key defense areas.

According to the order of His Excellency the Commander, the 33rd Division was responsible for defending the section of the river at the southern end of Kampong Cham and the 49th Division was responsible for defending the section of the river north of Phnom Penh. The 54th Division and the 105th Brigade were mixed into the 105th Brigade, which was responsible for defending the western part of Hongyu. The rest of the troops, responsible for defending the gap in the middle, as well as acting as a reserve. ”

Major General Shinichi Tanaka read according to the document.

"Hey!" All the generals replied.

"Ladies and gentlemen, on the Mekong defense line, we have committed all our forces. There are no more reserves left. It can be said that in this battle, it is already a last battle. Therefore, I hope that you will be able to do your best to hold the line of defense in this battle. If we can hold out until reinforcements arrive. Well, we win. As long as the people of China can be defeated, no matter how big the loss is, it is acceptable. The losses of the ministries can be replenished very quickly. But if we don't hold the line before reinforcements arrive. Then all of this will be lost. The consequences will not be something we can afford. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." All the generals replied solemnly.

"I hope that the Mekong River will become a moat, and all the damned Shina people will be buried in this moat, and avenge the warriors of the Great Ri* Empire who died in battle!" Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said.

"Kill the people of Honchina and avenge the dead warriors." These Japanese generals suddenly had such a belief in their hearts. In their military career, it was definitely the first time they had suffered such a big loss. They dreamed of destroying the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and they were ashamed.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army approached the Mekong River in pursuit of the fleeing Japanese army. In the Battle of Tonsari Lake and the ensuing battle, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wiped out almost 60,000 Japanese troops. And its own losses, less than 5,000 people. Such a battle loss ratio made Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng, commander of the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and Major General Chen Qi, chief of staff, very satisfied.

This has further widened the gap between the strength of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the Japanese army. In the next battle, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will have a greater advantage. Defeating the Japanese army and winning the Indochina campaign did not seem to be a problem.

"Is this the Mekong? Sure enough, it is the largest river in Southeast Asia. Although it can't be compared with our Yangtze River and Yellow River, it is still good. It was much wider than the rivers we had crossed. Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng stood by the Mekong River with emotion on his face.

"Commander, Japan* himself has built a defensive line on the east bank of the Mekong River. It is said that they used the Mekong River as a moat to stop our progress. Major General Chen Qi said.

"Trenches? Even the moat can't stop us from moving forward! Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng looked confident.
