In mid-January 1943, Qin Shou left Yangon and went to Mawlamyine, an important seaport city in southeastern Burma, where he formed a headquarters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At the same time, the six infantry divisions and six brigades of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army have all gathered on the front line of Jiongduo and Gaojiali. Preparations for the battle in Thailand have been largely completed.

The border between Myanmar and Thailand is dominated by the Thani Thanah Ng mountain range. The barrier of the Hesitant Mountains made it possible for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to attack the Japanese army entrenched in Thailand, so they could only cross the Ta Thanah Ong Mountains. However, of the long border, only east of Mawlamyine, there is a road that crosses the Ta Nin Ta Thanong Mountains. After crossing the mountain, it is Mae Sot of Thailand's Thai Lai Xing Province.

Other than that, there is no road to Thailand at all. For the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which has a lot of heavy equipment and is also very dependent on logistical support, the only way to attack is to launch an attack from here. Otherwise, logistical supplies alone would have collapsed the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Transports from the United States can dock directly at Mawlamyine to unload war materials. Then by truck, it was transported to the front line. Comparatively, the logistical pressure is much less. Of course, it would be best if the U.S. Navy could cross the Strait of Malacca and enter the Gulf of Thailand. It's a pity that the Americans' navy is in the Pacific Ocean and has not entered the South Sea at all. It is probably necessary to wait for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army's own fleet to form combat effectiveness before it has the opportunity to enter the South Seas to fight.

On January 17, Qin Shou held a military meeting at the headquarters of Mawlamyine. This military conference is equivalent to a pre-war meeting.

"Old Sun, the 1st Army has completed its assembly, right?" Qin Shou asked.

"Commander, all the departments of the 1st Army have completed the assembly in accordance with the regulations. The logistical materials needed for the campaign have also arrived at the front line. We can go on the offensive at any time. Sun Changwu reported.

This was the first time he commanded a large-scale operation after he became the commander of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Of course, he hoped that this time the battle in Thailand could achieve a perfect victory.

Qin Shou nodded, he was also very concerned about the battle in Thailand this time. The Battle of Burma was nothing more than the battle for the rise of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Many people believe that the reason why the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was able to win in Burma was simply because it had the right time, place, and people. However, Thailand, Japan* himself is very serious, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has lost its first hand. If they want to win easily, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

Qin Shou hopes to use a perfect victory of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to let the whole world know that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has become a world-class strong army. At least, the tactics are still stuck in the last world war, and the Japanese * themselves are definitely not the opponents of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Very well, Chief of Staff. I would like to share with you the information that the Americans have transmitted. Qin Shou nodded.

"Yes, Commander." Liu Shiquan stood up and glanced at everyone before he began to introduce the situation.

"Japan's own army in Thailand is mainly its 18th Front Army, which has the 4th Division, the 56th Division, the 15th Division, the 22nd Division, and the 29th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, as well as the headquarters of the 5th Engineer Corps."

"Chief of Staff, the 56th Division, the 15th Division, the 22nd Division and the 29th Brigade of the Japanese Army, have not been wiped out by us on the battlefield in Thailand? Could it be that they rebuilt again? Yu Chengyin, chief of staff of the 1st Army, was a little puzzled.

"That's right, the Japanese themselves did rebuild these divisions and brigades. These troops are all formed by the reserves they have drawn from the country. Liu Shiquan explained.

"Chief of Staff, does this mean that, except for the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, which is the elite, the rest are rubbish? If we want to defeat them, it will be very easy. Zhang Erniu, commander of the 1st Reconnaissance Brigade, had a smile on his face.

"Yes! It seems that the difficulty of the battle in Thailand is not as difficult as we think. The rest of the generals also laughed. It's as if you only need to attack at will to be able to eliminate the Japanese himself who is entrenched in Thailand.

"Ahem!" Qin Shou coughed heavily, and suddenly, those generals were silent.

"What's wrong? Go on? Aren't you very proud? I thought that on the battlefield in Burma, after defeating the Japanese * myself, I got carried away, didn't I? Qin Shou was a little angry.

He knew that the victory in the Burma campaign had given them the confidence to defeat the Japanese army. However, he definitely did not want this confidence to turn into complacency. In that case, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will sooner or later make a big mistake on the battlefield.

The current Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army seems to be very powerful. However, the foundation is not stable. Everything is based on the victory of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army suffers defeat that day, I am afraid that this will put the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army into a crisis. Therefore, Qin Shou did not want to see the generals of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and he was too proud.

"Commander, that's not what the big guy meant." Sun Changwu hurriedly said.

"Humph! I tell you, the so-called proud army will be defeated. If the Japanese themselves were really that easy to deal with, then they would not dominate the entire Western Pacific with a small country. The reason why we were able to defeat the Japanese * himself was more because of our weapons and equipment, which were completely able to crush the Japanese * himself. Otherwise, can the quality of our soldiers be compared with that of the Japanese themselves? It would be nice for everyone to figure this out. Qin Shou said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.

It can be said that the reason why the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was able to defeat the Japanese on the battlefield in Burma was inseparable from the strong support of the Americans. The weapons and equipment and logistical supplies provided by the Americans made it possible for them to crush the Japanese themselves on the battlefield. However, if there is no support from the Americans, won't the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army not even be able to fight? Qin Shou didn't want the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to become such a force. After all, American-style tactics require a huge industrial system to support them. The industrialization of the Burmese junta has only just begun. It will take a long time to develop into an operational task that can support the needs of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Yes, Commander, we know." The generals hurriedly admitted their mistakes.

Qin Shou's prestige in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is irreplaceable. When he was angry, everyone was silent. What's more, these generals also knew that what Qin Shou said was right. After deducting the reasons for weapons and equipment, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is indeed inferior to the Japanese army.
