The Indochina colony, also known as the French Orient. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSince 1885, when China was forced to sign the Treaty of Tientsin with France, China has renounced its suzerainty over Annam. Two years later, the Confederation of French Indochina was formally established.

Subsequently, the French seized Nanzhang through the war with Siam. Together with the Khmer, which had been occupied by them before, it officially formed the colony of French Indochina.

It's just that when the Japanese themselves attacked the Indochina colony, the French army could not resist it at all, and could only flee in disarray. So much so that now the entire colony of Indochina has fallen into the hands of the Japanese themselves.

There have always been many Chinese living in the Indochina colony. They migrated from Liangguang and other places in China to the colony of Indochina, where they begged for a living, and have multiplied for several generations.

At present, there are more than 200 Chinese in the whole of Indochina. Of course, compared to the local indigenous people, it is still too little. The indigenous people of Indochina, at least 20 million.

After the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army took Siam, the Indochina colony became the target of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army's next offensive. If the colony of Indochina is captured, almost the entire Indochina Peninsula will be under the control of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

At the end of March, Qin Shou held an operational meeting at the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Dacheng. The meeting was attended mainly by the generals of the 2nd Army. Because, the main participants in this battle in the attack on the colonies of Indochina were the 2nd Army.

"Lao Xu, how is the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Army?" Qin Shou asked.

He was always a little worried about the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Army. After all, this army was formed later. Although the backbone is a veteran of the past, too many recruits have been added. He has been training in Burma for nearly half a year, and has participated in many battles to quell indigenous rebellions in Burma, but this time he fought against the regular army of the Japanese army. This was undoubtedly a test for the 2nd Army.

Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng, commander of the 2nd Army, smiled bitterly, and then said: "Commander, you don't trust our combat effectiveness!" The combat effectiveness of the 2nd Army is indeed inferior to that of the 1st Army. However, this is because the soldiers did not experience the bitter battle against a powerful enemy. As long as they go through one or two such battles, these soldiers will definitely be able to transform into elite troops. ”

Qin Shou nodded, elite soldiers are never trained, but fought through one battle after another. Only those who have experienced the tempering of life and death on the battlefield are the real elite soldiers.

Qin Shou knew that after the 2nd Army went to the battlefield this time, the casualties would definitely be not small. However, this is inevitable. War is inevitable, there will be casualties. Unless the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army stops the war from now on. Otherwise, the troops will continue to face casualties. And this, naturally, is impossible.

"Anyway, let's reduce casualties on the battlefield as much as possible. Our troops, replenishment is too difficult. Qin Shou sighed.

Although, the refugees in the country are still going to Myanmar in a steady stream. But there are too few young people among them. In addition, there are not many Chinese in Nanyang. This made it more difficult for the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to replenish its soldiers than other armies.

"Yes, Commander." Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time your opponent is the Japanese Burmese Front. That's right, the name is the Burmese Front. That is, the front army of the Japanese army that was completely annihilated by us in Burma. However, I have to admire that the number of soldiers in Japan is really insignificant. They sent a large number of troops from China to Nanyang and reorganized the front army. Of course, almost all the soldiers of this front army were drawn from the reserves of the Japanese mainland. The combat effectiveness is not comparable to those first-class units of the Japanese army. But the combat effectiveness is still not to be underestimated. Qin Shou said.

"Commander, we can completely annihilate this front of the Japanese army in Burma once, and in Indochina, we can still completely annihilate them." Lieutenant General Xu Feipeng said proudly.

"Yes, Commander. After we completely annihilate this front of the Japanese army for the second time, I don't know if they will regroup again. If we are eliminated again and again, will they still have the face to continue to regroup? A division commander said.

The other generals also laughed. Obviously, the reorganized Burmese Front was not regarded as a great enemy.

"Next, the chief of staff will introduce to you the situation of the Burma Front after the reorganization of the Japanese army." Qin Shou said.

Everyone's eyes fell on Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the reorganization of the Japanese army, the Burma Front includes a total of 6 divisions, namely the 18th Division, the 31st Division, the 33rd Division, the 49th Division, the 53rd Division and the 54th Division. In addition, there are 3 independent mixed brigades, namely the 24th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 72nd Brigade and the 105th Brigade. Also included are the 2nd Field Transport Command, the 5th Field Transport Command and the 14th Field Transport Command. The total strength was about 135,000 men, about 20,000 less than the 2nd Army. Liu Shiquan introduced.

"The commander of the Burma Front is Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, who served as the commander of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, the deputy chief of the War Department, and so on. Among the Japanese army, he can be regarded as an old qualified guy. His hands were also stained with the blood of the Chinese. If we can, we will capture this old guy and kill him directly to avenge the death of our compatriots. Liu Shiquan continued.

The generals present nodded again and again. The generals of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army who captured the Japanese army almost did not end well. Either he committed suicide by cutting his abdomen, or he was killed by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has always been merciless to these guys.

"The topography of Indochina, which is higher in the middle, is a plateau. The coast is lower and belongs to the plains. Therefore, when the 2nd Army attacked, it could only launch an attack along the plains. The air force will ensure air supremacy and provide you with air support. Qin Shou said.

"Yes, Commander." Xu Feipeng nodded.

Although, the quality of individual soldiers may not be as good as that of the Japanese * himself. However, in terms of weaponry, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had an advantage. Coupled with the strong air support of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Xu Feipeng believed that they would be able to defeat the Japanese Burmese Front.

"Let's go back and get ready. Strive to invade Indochina by the beginning of next month! Qin Lifetime ordered.

"Yes, Commander." All the generals replied. They had been waiting for months, and now it was finally their turn to go to war. Everyone was very excited and excited.
