During this time, the offensive of the Japanese Southern Army in Southeast Asia was like a rainbow, and the Sun Flag guided the landing force of the Japanese Southern Army to launch a lightning attack on the Anglo-American-Dutch defenders in Southeast Asia.

The Japanese Southern Army was established in accordance with the 'Southern Comprehensive Operational Plan' approved by Emperor Hirohito on November 5, 1940. General Uchishoichi, the former commander of the Raidera Temple, was appointed commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Tsukada, former deputy chief of staff of the army, was appointed chief of the general staff, and Shigesei Aoki and Yoshitaro Sakaguchi were appointed deputy chiefs of the general staff. Terauchi Shouyi can finally leave Tianjin and Baoding, a ghost place, since he came to Tianjin, Terauchi Shou has not had a good life, the main reason is Jiang Qiang and Qin Siyu, he and Jiang Qiang have not won a battle, and they are afraid that Jiang Qiang will be captured one day, Jiang Qiang is simply the general's killer.

Terauchi Shouichi was defeated in the competition with Nishio Shouzo for the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Dispatch Army, and he had nowhere to vent his grievances, and he was not ashamed, and he led his concubine every day, Miss Masako, the daughter of his old classmate, to spend all day drinking and drinking, and did not ask about the world. Emperor Hirohito was afraid that his sword would rust, so he forced Terauchi Shouichi to perform his duties as a military counselor and go to the base camp to sit on duty and counsel the military. Now, Shouichi Terauchi is finally going to raise his eyebrows and unsheath his sword!

On the evening of the day that Emperor Hirohito approved the Southern Comprehensive Battle Plan, Terauchi returned home after a busy day, and asked Mrs. Terauchi to prepare his suit, saying that he was going to go to other places for a period of time.

The lady of the temple is from a beautiful background, and she is also a countess. Knowing that Shouichi Terauchi has a great responsibility, there are many secrets that he can't tell. didn't inquire, and was busy directing his subordinates to prepare bags for Terauchi Shouichi.

When it was time to go to bed, Mrs. Terauchi washed cleanly, specially sprayed French perfume, and delicately took Terauchi Shouichi's office at home, and saw Terauchi Shouichi holding a magnifying glass and working hard in front of the map of Southeast Asia. Thereupon. The delicate Mrs. Terauchi used the methods she learned from the palace when she was a girl, and she pulled Terauchi Shouichi to her bed, and when her clothes were untied and her ears and temples were grinding, Mrs. Terauchi told her husband. Prices in Tokyo are rising too fast. Rents for shops have also risen. She took a fancy to two large shops in Ginza and wanted to buy them for her two granddaughters to marry when they grew up. However, the landlord had a high price, and she considered that she could not use the original property. It was all earned by His Excellency the Great General of the temple for his hard work and blood and sweat on the battlefield, and it cannot be used lightly. It is best to go out again to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time fill out a dowry for the two granddaughters.

Mrs. Terauchi was also a first-class Yamato beauty when she was young, otherwise how could Terauchi Shouichi fall in love with her? The two still have feelings after decades. No, Mrs. Terauchi said. Shouichi Terauchi felt that his wife was dedicated to running the house, bringing up the children and the hearts of her grandchildren. Moved, he regarded Mrs. Terauchi as a red geisha he had sneaked out to play a few days ago, and he actually entered Mrs. Terauchi's body with great dignity and wantonly attacked.

When the two people in the temple were upside down, Miss Masako, who saw that Terauchi Shouichi had re-favored Mrs. Terauchi, was unwilling, so she took the opportunity of Mrs. Terauchi's maid to go to the toilet and slipped into Mrs. Terauchi's bedroom. Mrs. Terauchi was on the rise, and suddenly noticed that there was another person in the room, and she was so frightened that she screamed as if she had seen a ghost, and she startled Shouichi Terauchi, who was about to squirt out. When I pulled the lamp, I saw that Miss Masako had just taken off her kimono and was standing there naked. Shouichi Terauchi decisively got up from Mrs. Terauchi and carried Miss Masako to bed, wanting to start the second battle. It's a pity that he is in his 50s after all, and he has more than enough heart but not enough strength, that thing is not cooperative, and it is soft and collapsed. At this time, Miss Masako's kung fu came into play, she first slipped out of bed and found the rejuvenation pill that was said to be a treasure of the Manchu Dynasty Ouchi from Beiping, and asked Terauchi Shouichi to drink it. Then, he used his Qianqian jade hand to keep playing with the soft and collapsed thing that had grown white hair in Shouichi Terauchi, trying to make it hard. As a result, Miss Masako's hands were sleepy, and before she could see any improvement, she simply lowered her head and smashed it open with a small cherry sip. I don't know if it's because the medicine is working, or if Miss Masako's tender tongue is working. Terauchi Shouichi's lower body turned out to be hard again, and Miss Masako sat up directly, and the upper and lower sets were opened, shouting while playing. Poor Mrs. Terauchi has never seen such a battle, curled up in the corner of the big bed and watched this scene in horror, crying and scolding, saying that Terauchi Shouichi and Miss Masako were too bullying. No matter how much she cried and scolded, she couldn't stop Shouichi Terauchi who had taken aphrodisiacs, but it made Shouichi Terauchi feel more excited, turned over and pressed Miss Masako to the bed, put Miss Masako's two snow-white ** on her shoulders, hugged Miss Masako's snow-white buttocks with both hands, and began to launch waves of attacks in and out, whirring.

On this night, the Earl's Mansion in the temple was in chaos. The lady of the temple is not easy to mess with, and her daughters, daughters-in-law, and servants in the house all listen to her. When Miss Masako, who thought she had a plan, left the bedroom of Mrs. Terauchi with satisfaction, she was pressed to the ground by the daughter of Shouichi Terauchi, his daughter-in-law and a group of maids who rushed to the ground when she heard the wind, and was bruised all over her body, her nose and face were swollen, and she could not take care of herself. Terauchi Shouichi is very powerful, and it is not convenient to stand up for Miss Masako in front of his daughter and daughter-in-law at this time, so he can only lie in the arms of Mrs. Terauchi and listen to Miss Masako's crying.

The next day, Terauchi Shou received an official order from the base camp to make him the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, and led the chief of the General Staff, Tsukada Tsukada, the deputy chief of the General Staff, Shigesei Aoki, Yoshitaro Sakaguchi, and Masami Ishii, senior staff officer, and others to secretly enter the Army University and begin to revise the operational plan for the southward advance that they had drawn up in advance.

Terauchi Shouichi was full of confidence in the capture of Southeast Asia, because he also saw the lack of troops and lax defenses of the British, American and Dutch garrisons in Southeast Asia, as Jiang Qiang thought. Moreover, Terauchi also knew that the spies of the army, navy, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already infiltrated Southeast Asia and contacted the upper elites of Southeast Asian countries. Far from resisting the Japanese army, these elites would welcome the Japanese army, receive the Japanese army, and even cooperate with the Japanese army to attack the communication lines and supply lines of the British, American, and Dutch colonial armies, helping the Japanese army liberate them from the Western colonizers.

Terauchi Shou saw it very accurately, the British and American powers have carried out colonial aggression against Asian countries for decades, and they have long provoked the resistance of the colonial people. Some far-sighted people in Southeast Asian countries organized people to fight against the Anglo-American, French, and Dutch colonists in various forms. However, due to the strength of the great powers, these struggles were difficult to achieve. The Japanese had sharp eyes, saw this, and laid out early, took out funds, and provided training and other help for these elites who resisted colonial aggression, and waited for this time to play a role!

Because the Japanese army had ended the war between Japan and the Soviet Union and had won unprecedented victories, and the land it had seized in the Far East was many times the size of the Japanese mainland, the arrogance of the fascists in Japan had once again raised their heads, clamoring for increased aggression and a complete exodus of the British and American forces from Asia. Terauchi Shouichi knew that as long as he started fighting in Southeast Asia, he was bound to create a greater record than North China, and his prestige would rise to a new peak.

Shouichi Terauchi was very strong at this time. Although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the Shandong operation, the timely replenishment of the Japanese army, coupled with the large expansion of the Kwantung Army, the total strength of the Japanese army still reached 2.1 million in history, and the total number of front-line aircraft was 2,512. The total strength of the Japanese army's base camp planned to be transferred to the command of the Southern Army reached 11 divisions, 2 flying groups, and 4 fleets, totaling more than 400,000 people. Including the 5th Flying Group of the Kwantung Army, which ended the war between Japan and the Soviet Union, the 5th Division, the 2nd Division, and 9 tank wings of the Japanese army. With such a huge and elite force, Terauchi Shouichi can't even think about it if he is not strong!

Terauchi's plan was based on the tactics of the German blitzkrieg against Poland, the Soviet Union, and the Kwantung Army to launch the Japanese-Soviet War, and it was also a blitzkrieg in Southeast Asia. To put it bluntly, it was to use the fleet to transport all the troops to the attack area, and then send out the motive group to launch a surprise attack, and the divisions and regiments immediately rushed to the beach and landed, destroying the defense line of the British, American, and Dutch armies in one fell swoop.

Terauchi believed that although the Japanese army had already occupied French Indochina, and the British, American, and Dutch armies had long been alert and were likely to have completed preparations for war, with the cover of diplomatic negotiations, and the fact that Britain and the United States had always consulted Asian countries and armies, and had never seen the Japanese army in the eyes of their good equipment and strong firepower, the Southern Army would inevitably surprise the British, American, and Dutch forces as soon as it was launched, and thus receive the effect of a surprise attack.

In order not to give the British and American armies a chance to shrink their forces, Terauchi Shouichi launched the Southern Army as an army unit at the same time, launching attacks on the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and other countries. An attempt to defeat the Anglo-American-Dutch garrisons in Southeast Asia as quickly as possible.

After the battle plan was revised, Terauchi Shouichi entered the palace to meet the emperor and promised the emperor that in only half a year, he would be able to completely defeat the Anglo-American-Dutch forces in Southeast Asia, occupy Southeast Asia, and solve the most urgent oil shortage problem of the Great Japanese Empire. Emperor Hirohito's eyes lit up, and he said to Terauchi Shouichi that the great cause of the empire depends on Aiqing's southern army. Then, Emperor Hirohito, together with Empress Yoshiko, invited Shouichi Terauchi to taste the tea ceremony and gave him a warm request.

With everything in place, Terauchi Shouichi boarded a warship in Tokyo Bay with his Southern Army headquarters and headed south. At the same time, the Japanese Combined Fleet assault formation headed northeast to carry out a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

On December 7, the day before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Lunmei detachment of the Japanese Southern Army successfully landed at Kota Baru in British Malaya.

After receiving the news, Terauchi sent a telegram to all armies, divisions, air groups, and fleets of the Southern Army, ordering all units to launch a full-scale offensive on December 8 in accordance with the battle plan.

At this time, Terauchi Shouichi had already received the news of the successful surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Combined Fleet, and sat on the flagship with a command knife, looking like a general who had strategized and won a decisive victory, and waited for the various units to advance and occupy after they were launched.

Hordes of warplanes took off from warships, airfields in Vietnam, Taiwan, and South China, and swooped down on Southeast Asia.

Tsukada Tsuka, chief of the general staff of the Southern Army, together with deputy chiefs of staff Shigesei Aoki and Yoshitaro Sakaguchi, and senior staff officer Masami Ishii, commanded those operational staff officers, communications staff officers, and confidential staff officers to set up a command post on the flagship, and used radio to communicate with the fleets, air groups, armies, and divisions of the Southern Army, and in accordance with the operational plan, orderly directed the combat clusters to start large-scale sneak attacks.

The Anglo-American-Dutch troops stationed in the countries of Southeast Asia were indeed ready for battle.

However, because of the war in Europe, Britain did not have the strength to devote more to the defense of Southeast Asia, but sent a "formidable, fast, high-class task force of battleships and aircraft carriers" in Churchill's words, to Singapore to deter the provocations of the Japanese navy. Unfortunately, in early November, the aircraft carrier Invincible ran aground in the West Indies and could not join the new Far East Fleet. Only the Prince of Wales, the Counterstrike and 4 destroyers remained in the new Far East Fleet.

The United States has not yet decided whether to enter the war, although reinforcements have been made to Southeast Asia, but they are limited. The Dutch army was even more pitiful. Their country was already occupied by Nazi Germany. The presence of troops in Southeast Asia is tantamount to completely cutting off the possibility of domestic reinforcements.

The greatest hope of Britain and the United States is to scare the Japanese with their own great powers, sanction the Japanese by economic means, and make the Japanese dare not move against Southeast Asia. In this case, the fate of Southeast Asia and Pearl Harbor has become so similar that one has to sigh.

As soon as Shouichi Terauchi commanded the army to attack, the British, American, and Dutch forces stationed in Southeast Asia found that the disaster had come so suddenly and so powerfully. In a panic, he began to engage in resistance battles. Resistance is in vain! The core target of the Japanese attack was the oil-rich Dutch East Indies (present-day central Indonesia), which had to pass through the British Malay Peninsula.

On the evening of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Vice Admiral Phillips, commander of the British Royal Navy's "New Far East Fleet," who had received information that the Japanese had established an invasion beachhead in Songkhla, Malay Peninsula, led the fleet to set sail. I want to destroy the bridgehead of the Japanese army.

This Phillips, known as the "Little Napoleon" in the British Royal Navy, was convinced that bombers were no match for battleships. In fact, he had never seen a large number of bombers bombing a battleship. Vice Admiral Phillips told his sailors, "We're going to get out and get into trouble," to the cheers of the sailors.

On December 9, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumi, the former commander of the Manchurian Defense Force of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the new commander of the 25th Army of the Southern Army, was taught a disgraced lesson by Liu Yimin during his tenure as chief of staff of the North China Front. With a deep affection for General Terauchi Shouichi's kindness, he commanded an elite assault group composed of the 5th Division, the 1st Guards Division, and the 18th Division to reach the waters of the Malay Peninsula after heading south from Sanya on Hainan Island, and began to launch an assault on the Malay Peninsula. The task given to the 25th Army by General Terauchi was to cross the 700-kilometer Malay Peninsula within 100 days of the start of the war and conquer the Singapore Fortress, the center of British rule in the East, which was known as the "impregnable fortress".

Hordes of Japanese warplanes took off from the Saigon airfield in Vietnam and swooped down on the British airfield in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, blowing up only 10 of the 158 RAF planes on the Malay Peninsula.

At 3 p.m., the New Far East Fleet, led by Vice Admiral Phillips, was spotted by the Japanese submarine I-65. Shouichi Terauchi immediately ordered the Kondo fleet, consisting of 7 cruisers and 2 battleships, to quickly move south to intercept the attack. As a result, the Japanese fleet did not arrive, and the Japanese air force departing from Saigon, Vietnam, discovered the British New Far East Fleet at 11:45 a.m. on December 10. It's like a pack of wolves spotting their prey. Eighty-five fighters of the Japanese Army Air Corps swooped down viciously, and all aerial bombs and torpedoes appeared. By 2 p.m., the once glorious and massive British Royal Navy battleships HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Counter Strike had been destroyed, with a total of 793 dead on both warships, including Vice Admiral Phillips and Captain Rich. Only 3 planes were destroyed, 27 aircraft were damaged, and 21 crew members were killed. This battle is known in the history of warfare as the Battle of the Malay Sea.

That is to say, only two days after the Japanese attack was launched, the British army in the Malay Peninsula completely lost air and sea supremacy.

This was the case in the Malay Peninsula, and the Japanese army attacking the Philippines was not ambiguous. It turned out that the commander of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, and the old playboy Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu, who was beaten by Liu Yimin in Shandong and wiped out the entire division by the Eighth Route Army, took a shit luck and was actually favored by General Shouichi Terauchi. He was promoted to commander of the 14th Army of the Southern Army, and under the cover of Vice Admiral Takahashi Ibo's Philippine Campaign Joint Formation, which had 10 cruisers, 29 destroyers, 1 aircraft carrier, 3 seaplane carriers, and about 100 transport ships and auxiliary vessels, under the cover of Vice Admiral Hidera Xiaoice's 5th Army Air Corps with 200 aircraft, and Vice Admiral Tsukahara's 243rd Naval Base Air Force 11th Air Force with 300 aircraft, The Philippine Army went on the offensive.

At this time, the U.S. military in the Philippines had a total of 31,000 troops. Together with the 100,000 Philippine troops, a total of 130,000 people. The commander-in-chief was MacArthur. The US and Philippine forces have more than 270 aircraft, of which only 142 can take off to participate in the war, and the US Asian Fleet, which has 45 combat ships under the command of Admiral Hart, is engaged in coordinated operations.

At the beginning of the raid, the Japanese army and navy aviation launched a surprise attack on the US airfield and the Krabi Naval Base in Luzon, destroying half of the heavy bombers and more than one-third of the fighters of the US army on land, creating conditions for landing operations. Soberly, the main forces of the US Asian Fleet, stationed at bases in the southern Philippines, were spared.

Immediately after that, the Japanese army landed on a large scale, one to capture the Batan Islands north of Luzon, the Tanaka Detachment and the Kanno Detachment of the 48th Division also landed and occupied the airfield at Apari and Vigan in the northern Luzon Island, respectively, and the Kimura Detachment of the 16th Division landed at Legazpi in the south of Luzon to occupy the airfield and further expand the results of the battle.

By the 17th, the remaining 17 B-17 bombers of the US army were withdrawn to Australia, and the Japanese army completely controlled the sea and air supremacy. Next, the main force of the 48th Division of the Japanese Army landed in Lingayan Bay on the west coast of Luzon Island, and the main force of the 16th Division landed in Ramon Bay in the southeast of Luzon, forming a situation of flanking Manila from the north to the south and encircling and annihilating the main force of the US and Philippine forces, and Mindanao and Holo Island also fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

At this point, the American, British, and Dutch GIs, who were all over the top, suddenly discovered that the Japanese infantry, especially those who had landed, were short and short in yellow uniforms, and looked like a group of yellow-skinned monkeys, but they did not want to die in battle, and dared to attack the American, British, and Dutch armies without artillery cover. At night, the Japanese army was like a ghost, wantonly launching a night attack, and the American GIs, the British and Dutch gentry soldiers, in the face of the Japanese offensive, were all stupid!

MacArthur, the U.S. supreme commander in the Philippines, was crushed in his fragile defenses in the Philippines and was forced to retreat to the Bataan Peninsula with the remnants of the U.S. army and the remaining 79,500 troops of the Philippine army.

The Thai government, which had been holding the pipa and half-covering its face and colluding with Japan, suddenly discovered that the friendship between the Japanese was so unreliable, and the Japanese landed in Bangkok under the command of Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida, commander of the 15th Army, and soon took control of the whole of Thailand as a rear base for attacking Burma. At this time, the Thai government's dignitaries realized that the Japanese wanted not only Thailand's cooperation and support for them, but also Thailand!

At the same time, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai of the Japanese Army commanded the 38th Division, which had been completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army on the Longhai Road defense line, and launched an attack on Hong Kong. The Japanese garrisons in Tianjin, Wuhan, and Guangzhou stormed the concession and began to attack the British and American concessions in China.

A strange scene happened, the Japanese army that killed Southeast Asia was welcomed by the upper echelons of Southeast Asia in many places. The Japanese army used all its propaganda machines, and the newspapers and radio repeatedly propagated the true content of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, that is, the liberation of the colonies, the expulsion of the British and American powers, and the construction of Asians in Asia.

Japan's pen troops propagated even more evilly, saying that the Japanese army's march into Southeast Asia was to sweep away the pride and prejudice of the British and American forces, share the pain and joy with the colored people, and establish a just rule of law in the great spirit of democracy within the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere', so as to promote the development of the local society, so that all ethnic groups and individuals can obtain corresponding rewards according to their own abilities.

The newspapers of the Japanese army even carried advertisements for the recruitment of students from various schools and major enterprises in Japan, saying that they wanted to train personnel for free for Southeast Asian countries and revitalize the local economy. For a time, Southeast Asia was filled with the demonic laughter of the Japanese army and the seductive lies. It seems that the Japanese army is the People's Liberation Army of Southeast Asia, coming to the rescue of Southeast Asia enslaved by colonialism!

At this moment, Terauchi Shoucai felt extremely comfortable in his heart, and the depression of losing the battle with Nishio Shouzo for the commander-in-chief of the Chinese dispatch army was swept away. This devil, the battle report sent to the emperor is full of joy!
