Chapter 505: Reinforcements Dispatched

Lion City, Southern Army Headquarters. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info the office of the commander of General Shunroku Hata.

General Shunroku Hata sat behind his desk with an iron face, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Shimizu Norri, and the deputy chief of staff, Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan, stood in front of him with their heads bowed.

The news that the Burmese Front had suffered a heavy defeat in the southern part of Lake Tonsari had reached the Lion City, which made General Shunroku Hata very angry.

However, it is different from Shouichi Terauchi. Shunroku Hatatake's generals are more able to control their emotions. Even though he was very angry in his heart, he didn't show much of it. If it were a general of Terauchi Shouichi, I'm afraid it would have been like a thunderstorm.

Of course, this does not mean that the six generals of Shun Hata are not angry in their hearts.

Now the situation in the South Seas is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Japanese army. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army once again kicked off the prelude to the attack on the Japanese army. Originally, the family of Shunroku Hata had great confidence in the Indochina colony. After all, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not invest in the 1st Army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, but the 2nd Army, which had just been formed. Although, the Burmese Front was also rebuilt after being completely annihilated. However, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, which was composed of soldiers in the countryside, was obviously stronger than that of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which was composed of civilians.

However, the battle had just begun, and the Burmese Front had planted such a big heel. The number of troops lost has exceeded 40,000. Moreover, with the continuous offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the losses of the Burmese Front will further increase. This will make the next battle of the Burmese Front in the Indochina colony very difficult. was even completely annihilated by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Whew!" General Shunliu Hata let out a heavy breath, as if he had spit out all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"How much will the Burmese Front lose in this battle?" General Shunroku Hata asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, at present, the losses of the Burmese Front have exceeded 40,000. However, the Shina people are still in pursuit. This means that their losses will increase further. The people in China launched a frantic pursuit, while constantly using the air force to delay the retreat of the Burmese Front. It is estimated that at least another 20,000 people will be lost. Lieutenant General Shimizu said.

The operational staff officers of the General Staff of the Southern Army had already estimated this. In the end, it was concluded that the situation of the Burmese Front this time would be very critical.

Hearing that another 20,000 people would be lost, the face of the six generals of Toshiba couldn't help but darken again.

"Yaga! If another 20,000 men were lost, the Burmese Front would lose almost half of its total strength. How will this battle continue? General Shun Hata was very annoyed.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid it's not just that. The divisions and regiments under the Burma Front and the independent mixed brigades and regiments lost were all front-line combat units. This will be a great blow to the combat effectiveness of the entire Burmese front. Lieutenant General Takahashi said.

General Shunroku Hata nodded involuntarily. He knew that Lieutenant General Takahashi's analysis was correct. Not only did the Burmese Front lose nearly half of its troops in this battle, but it also lost the main force. In the next battle, except for the 33rd Division and the 49th Division, which can still be used, the rest of the divisions and independent mixed brigades may not have much combat effectiveness left.

"Your Excellency, the situation of the Burmese Front is very bad at the moment, and Your Excellency Commander Kimura requests that reinforcements be sent to reinforce them as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the attack of the Shina people. Lieutenant General Shimizu said.

"Alas! The combat effectiveness of the people of China is indeed far beyond our expectations! The Burmese Front concentrated its forces to besiege a partial division of the Chinese people, but they were unable to destroy it. It can be seen how strong the fighting power of the people of China is. I will send a telegram to the base camp about the reinforcements, begging them to send reinforcements to Indochina as soon as possible. Otherwise, we may suffer another great defeat in Indochina. Losing Indochina, we have no place in the entire Indochina Peninsula. General Shunroku Hata sighed.

Before taking over as commander of the Southern Army, he expected that the situation would be very unfavorable. However, now he still has to admit that he still underestimated the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is even more powerful than he imagined!

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Shimizu and Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan, both replied.

Tokyo, Prime Minister's Office. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo was reading a telegram from General Shunroku Hata.

"Is it true that the situation in the South Seas has been endangered to such a degree? Even the six generals of Shunbatake can't change the situation in Nanyang? Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo sighed.

Letting General Shun Hata go to Nanyang to replace General Shouichi Terauchi wanted to reverse the situation in Nanyang. It would be great if reinforcements could not be drawn from home. However, now it seems that everything is too simple for him to think! The six generals of Shun Hata are very capable. But in the face of the current war situation in Nanyang, it is also quite powerless!

Although, there are still a lot of reinforcements in Japan. Especially after the navy gradually lost in the Pacific Ocean and could no longer grasp the initiative, the Japanese base camp knew that if the situation deteriorated further, the war would probably directly affect the Japanese mainland. This allowed the Japanese base camp to begin further mobilization. A large number of new units have been formed. Many of the new numbers are much earlier than those of another time and space, so it can be seen that the war in this time and space is not the same as that of another time and space. At least Japan's situation is much worse than that of another plane. And all this was caused by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. In other words, it was caused by Qin Shou's unexpected factor.

"No matter what, there is no room for failure in Nanyang. Once we lose Nanyang, it will be very difficult for us to continue the war. "Prime Minister Hideki Tojo has secretly made a decision. That is, in order to ensure the safety of Nanyang, it is necessary to send reinforcements to Nanyang.

Almost all of the oil and rubber needed by the Japanese army in this war came from the South Seas. Plus other mineral resources and even grain. Nanyang has become an indispensable part of the Japanese army's war machine. With the loss of the South Seas, the war potential of the Japanese army will be greatly reduced. Therefore, in the face of the strong rise of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Japanese army could only find a way to send more reinforcements to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and regain control of the entire Nanyang.
