Saigon, the headquarters of the Japanese Burmese Front. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After returning from the Lion City, the commander, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, ordered all divisions and regiments to be mixed into brigades and regiments and enter a state of combat readiness. Prepare for the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

But even so, he still believes that this is not enough. With the strength of the Burmese Front alone, it would undoubtedly be too difficult to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. In particular, the strength of the Burmese Front was scattered throughout the Indochina colony. In particular, the anti-Japanese guerrillas led by the Indochina Red Party often made trouble for them. So that the Japanese army had to divide its forces to suppress it.

As for the local colonial puppet army, its combat effectiveness is so bad that it is simply useless.

"No, we can't go on like this. Once the Chinese people fight, we, with our scattered forces, will not be the opponent of the Chinese people at all. We have to find a way to assemble all the troops. In this way, it will be possible to resist the attack of the Chinese people. As long as we hold out until reinforcements from our homeland arrive, we will be able to launch a counterattack. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura thought secretly.

"Someone, let the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff, come and see me immediately!" Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The herald immediately went to give orders.

In less than 10 minutes, Major General Shinichi Tanaka, chief of staff of the Burmese Front, and Major General Jiro Ichita, deputy chief of staff, rushed to the office of Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura.

"Your Excellency Commander, I don't know if you have summoned you, do you have any orders?" Major General Shinichi Tanaka and Major General Jiro Ichita asked.

"Tanaka-kun, Ichida-kun. Have you seen any recent movements of the Shina people? Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura asked.

"The people of China are mobilizing troops. According to the information we have received, the 2nd Army of the Chinese is massing towards the border of Siam and the colonies of Indochina. It is expected that they will be able to complete the assembly in a week at most. That's too much of a threat to us. Major General Shinichi Tanaka said. The Burmese Front has been reorganized for too short a time, and the soldiers and officers are still in the process of running-in. The combat effectiveness of the troops, also not completed formation. Otherwise, they would not have been unable to participate in the last Battle of Siam. This time, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was menacing, which was undoubtedly a great challenge for them.

"Yes! The people of China are not good. However, there is no other way. We have to resist the attacks of the Chinese and even find a way to defeat them. Otherwise, once we lose the Indochina colony, we will have no end in sight. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said.

Major General Shinichi Tanaka and Major General Jiro Ichida both nodded their heads one after another.

"Fortunately, there is no endless road. Commander Shunroku Hata has already said that the mainland is about to send troops to reinforce us. When the time comes, we will have enough strength to fight back against the Shina people. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said.

Suddenly, Major General Tanaka Shinichi and Major General Ichida Jiro were all shocked, and they once again had confidence.

"However, the key issue now is that it will take time for reinforcements to arrive. Therefore, we must first resist the attack of the Chinese before reinforcements arrive. That's all that matters. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura continued.

"Your Excellency, with our forces, it may be difficult to defeat the Chinese people. However, it should not be difficult to hold on until reinforcements arrive. Major General Shinichi Tanaka said. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is still very strong. Except for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they rarely suffered defeats in the Pacific theater.

"Now there is a problem, and that is that our forces, scattered throughout the Indochina colony, cannot form a joint force. It is necessary to assemble in this way, so that we can have the strength to fight against the Chinese people. Major General Jiro Ichida said. He also found the problem.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to mobilize the entire Burmese Front and gather in southern Annam and Khmer to fight the Chinese people for a decisive battle. In order to resist their attack, hold out until reinforcements arrive. What do you think about this? Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura asked.

"Your Excellency, if we do this, won't we give up the rest of Annan? Those guerrillas will not let go of such an opportunity. "Major General Shinichi Tanaka was a little worried.

"Isn't there still a colonial army? The combat effectiveness of those colonial armies is not good, but there should be no problem in dealing with those guerrillas. Major General Jiro Ichida said.

The Battle of Siam has proved that except for the elite Japanese army that can confront the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the rest of the colonial army is simply a rabble. Let them participate in the war, not only will not have the slightest effect, but will drag down the main forces. Therefore, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro decided to let the indigenous army deal with the guerrillas this time, and did not want them to be involved in the big war with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Those indigenous armies are simply vulnerable. Those guerrillas, albeit poorly equipped. However, they fought very bravely. When fighting against the elite army of the Dainichi * Empire, it may be vulnerable. However, against those indigenous armies, I am afraid it will be enough. Once we gather troops, isn't that just cheap for those guerrillas? Major General Shinichi Tanaka said.

Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro frowned, and then said, "Those guerrillas, it's just a small problem. The people of China are our henchmen. Resisting the attacks of the Shina people is the most important thing. As long as we can resist the attack of the Chinese people, and then cooperate with the reinforcements from the local area, we can defeat the Chinese people in one fell swoop. Well, we're going to win. When the time comes, you can turn around at any time, destroy those guerrillas, and then drive them back into the mountains and forests. ”

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Shinichi Tanaka and Major General Jiro Ichita, seeing that Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura had already made a decision, had to say nothing more.

The Japanese army has always paid attention to the absolute obedience of subordinates to superiors. Even if the orders of the superiors are wrong, they must be carried out. This also makes the officers and generals of the Japanese army, when they give orders, often bear a lot of responsibility.

"From now on, order all the troops to assemble in southern Annam and central Khmer. This area will become a battlefield for us and the people of China. I ordered the commanders of all divisions and regiments and all independent mixed brigades to come to Saigon to see me at once. Time was of the essence, and we had to negotiate a tactic that would deal with the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Shinichi Tanaka and Major General Jiro Ichida both nodded hurriedly.
