"Your Excellency, you are now in Burma and have only four divisions, the 18th, 33rd, 55th and 56th Divisions. Among them www.biquge.info the 18th Division is a first-class division, and the other three divisions are all divisions with a three-unit system. "Lieutenant General Tsukada began to give a briefing.

Lieutenant General Aoki Shigesei looked at Lieutenant General Tsukada with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

Of course, Lieutenant General Tsukada is well aware of this. He knew that Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki hoped to send more troops to the Burmese front. In this way, after he arrives, he will be able to better carry out operations.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki was previously Lieutenant General Tsukada's deputy. In this regard, he naturally has to take care of it.

"However, Your Excellency Commander, these four divisions and regiments are all seriously dissatisfied with their staff. In the previous battles with the British and the Chinese people, they suffered a lot of losses. Now, the four divisions combined, I am afraid that there are only about 45,000 people. There is a serious shortage of troops. Tsukada will continue. By saying this, he undoubtedly paved the way for the next step to strengthen the strength of the Burmese front.

General Terauchi nodded: "Now, what troops can we send to Burma?" ”

"Your Excellency Commander, at present, the 31st Division, the 49th Division, the 53rd Division, the 54th Division, as well as the 24th Brigade and the 72nd Brigade and the 105th Brigade can be transferred to Burma."

"4 divisions and 3 independent mixed brigades. Although they are all divisions and regiments with a three-unit system, if they all add up, there are more than 70,000 and nearly 80,000 people. General Shouichi Terauchi frowned. Strengthening so many troops to the Burmese Front would undoubtedly empty the Japanese forces in other directions.

After all, Japan is a small country with a small population. Coupled with the fact that they opened up battlefields everywhere, the battle line was seriously stretched. In addition, the thundering troops were deeply trapped in the Chinese battlefield, so that the strength of the Japanese army had begun to appear empty.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki, with his head bowed, did not express any opinions. He knew that at this time, he needed to avoid it. However, there was already a ecstasy in his heart. If he can be strengthened by 4 divisions and 3 independent mixed brigades, this will enable him to control more than 100,000 troops. It will not be a problem at all!

"Your Excellency, the Burmese Front will not only stabilize the situation there in the future, but also prevent the British and Chinese from counterattacking, and when the conditions are ripe, even attack India directly. Therefore, it is undoubtedly very necessary to strengthen the strength of the Burmese front. "Tsukada will continue to persuade.

General Shouichi Terauchi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, just send 4 additional divisions and 3 independent mixed brigades, plus 4 divisions in Burma, to form the Burmese Front. Aoki-kun, I have high hopes for you. I hope you won't let me down. General Terauchi Shouichi looked at Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki and said word by word.

Lieutenant General Aoki Shigesei immediately understood what General Terauchi meant. If he is not able to make a satisfactory result in Myanmar, then his fate will be extremely miserable.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Commander, you will complete all the tasks assigned by Your Excellency the Commander in the battlefield in Burma!" Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki said immediately. In his opinion, after holding more than 100,000 elite troops, he is absolutely invincible on the battlefield in Myanmar. It was completely easy to annihilate the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army formed by the rout of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Even if it is to move west to India, it is not difficult.

"Well, so be it. Tsukada-kun, the order to form the Burma Front will be issued to all units. Aoki-kun, you go to Myanmar as soon as possible to take office. Shouichi Terauchi advised. The situation in Myanmar is tense and must be stabilized as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Tsukada and Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki both replied heavily.

After the two left Terauchi Shouichi's office, they went directly to Tsukada's office.

"Tsukada-kun, thank you so much just now." As soon as he entered the office, Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki expressed his gratitude.

"Aoki-kun, you're serious. We are friends, and besides, your mission to Myanmar is arduous, so it is completely appropriate to help you more. Lieutenant General Tsukada waved his hand.

"Tsukada-kun, is there anything I need to pay attention to when I go to Myanmar this time? Please advise me. "Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki humbly asked.

"The most critical issue at hand is the problem of the rout of the army. It must be eradicated as soon as possible. The remaining four divisions and three independent mixed brigades will need a certain amount of time to be dispatched to Burma. So, I can't count on it in the short term. You'd better wipe out that broken army as soon as possible. As for the rest of the tasks, you can take your time. Lieutenant General Tsukada said.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki nodded: "I see." When I returned, I sent a telegram to them, telling them to immediately send the main force to exterminate the Chinese people. ”

"However, Tsukada-kun, the 18th Division, the 33rd Division, the 55th Division, and the 56th Division are all divisions that are seriously dissatisfied with their members. Please take care of the soldiers and weapons that are missing, and give priority to replenishing us. Shigesei Aoki continued.

"None of this is a problem, don't worry." Lieutenant General Tsukada agreed to come down.

"Tsukada-kun, thank you so much. I am able to serve as the commander of the Burmese Front this time, and I will never forget your help. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki said.

Lieutenant General Tsukada smiled and didn't say anything more. He is now helping Lieutenant General Aoki Shigesei, then, in the future, Lieutenant General Aoki Shigesei will naturally want to repay his favor.

In a very short period of time, the news of the formation of the Burmese Front spread throughout all units of the Southern Army.

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya of the 18th Division, Lieutenant General Sakurai Seizan of the 33rd Division, Lieutenant General Hiroshi Takeuchi of the 55th Division, and Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe of the 56th Division were somewhat unhappy. Previously, they were directly subordinate to the command of the Southern Army. Now, there is more of a top boss in the head of the Myanmar Front Command.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki was still in the Lion City, and he had already issued an order for the 18th Division, the 55th Division, and the 56th Division to march to Myitkyina with all their might, and to exterminate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army occupying Myitkyina at all costs.

After receiving the order, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya, Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kan and Lieutenant General Watanabe Masao did not dare to slack off and immediately led the main force to Myitkyina. Although the three divisions were all dissatisfied, the total strength of the three divisions had reached 35,000, which was no less than that of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
