Age of Rebirth

The content of this intelligence report is just a fact, "According to the investigation of the special agents of the General Administration of Military Intelligence in the base camp, more than a month ago, the China Independent Division, including five main corps, left the Korean Peninsula and Manchuria one after another and transferred to Hainan. Island and the Indochina Peninsula area, together with the original two corps in the area, the Independence Division has gathered a total of more than 200 million troops in the Indochina Peninsula area!"

The content of the intelligence can be said to be very general and rough. There is neither a detailed distribution area of ​​each corps of the independent division, nor specific information about the strength of the troops, weapons and equipment, etc., but this is enough. Most of the troops have been transferred to the Indochina Peninsula, obviously targeting the empire's current occupied area - the islands in the southwest Pacific!" Emperor Hirohito came to such a conclusion as soon as he read the information.

Why are Tang Qiuli's main forces concentrated in the Indochina Peninsula?Obviously, they are not here to be spectators. There are more than 200 million people, even exceeding the total force of the Empire of Japan in the Southwest Pacific. When it's time to fight, if this damned Chinese person sends his troops south. . . . . .Thinking of this, Emperor Hirohito broke into a cold sweat.

"Damn, hateful..." Emperor Hirohito, like a madman who has been strongly stimulated, used all the vicious words to curse Tang Qiuli, the sworn enemy of the Great Japanese Empire, who put the empire in the north Its overseas colonies were swept away, and now, it has set its greedy eyes on the Southwest Pacific.The greedy ambition of this Chinese man is endless, and he temporarily retreats.There is no buffer time in exchange.

The Indochina Peninsula and the current occupied areas of the imperial army, Kalimantan and Sumatra, are only separated by the Strait of Malacca. The independent division has millions of troops gathered. The situation may change unexpectedly at any time, so I lost my temper in the palace Afterwards, Emperor Hirohito became discouraged.Cursing can't solve the problem, so a military meeting before the imperial court.An emergency meeting was held in the palace.

The focus of the imperial meeting was to discuss the purpose of the independent division's sudden large-scale assembly in the Indochina Peninsula, after learning about the main corps of the independent division.After the sudden notification from the South.The Japanese military and political officials who attended the meeting immediately felt cold all over. In fact, they knew very well in their hearts that the Chinese devil's move indicated that he was going to attack the Imperial Army on the islands in the Southwest Pacific.

The Minister of War and the Chief of Staff of the base camp, General Minaiguang, was particularly shocked and confused. As the head of the Imperial Japanese Army.He is very clear that despite the current main military force of the empire.They are all concentrated in the Southwest Pacific region, but they focus on the Australian battlefield. The Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force of Ito Yanzaburo has concentrated more than [-] troops, and the remaining one million troops seem to be a lot, but they must Distributed in several occupied areas.

Luzon Island and Mindanao Island in the Philippines, Kalimantan Island and Sumatra Island in the Dutch East Indies, Sulawesi Island, Java Island, New Guinea Island and other places to the south, more than 100 million troops, after being dispersed, all over the country The strength of the imperial imperial army in China is only about 10,000+ people, which seems to be a lot, but compared with the strong strength of the China Independent Division of more than [-] million people, it is pitifully small.

It is obviously not advisable to send troops from the Southwest Pacific of the Empire fighting on the Australian battlefield to return to the defense to strengthen the defensive forces on the islands. Ito Yansaburo's troops now have some advantages and can suppress the Australian battlefield. Although the Allied forces on the battlefield are fighting, the advantage is not absolutely obvious. Once the strength of the imperial forces on the Australian battlefield is weakened, the almost dying Allied forces will definitely have a chance to breathe.

Next, the Allied forces will definitely take the opportunity to counterattack. No one can predict the final outcome of the Australian battlefield. Once the empire loses in the Australian battlefield, it will be the consequence of losing everything. After all, the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield There are still more than 50 troops.

When Mi Neiguang was thinking wildly and worrying, Emperor Hirohito said, "My dear friends, the content of today's imperial meeting is to study what was just reported. The main forces of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli were suddenly transferred south to the Indochina Peninsula. What about the matter, and the countermeasures that the empire should take, the love minister will talk about it first?"

The Japanese military and political officials who participated in the imperial military meeting were all like monkey spirits. Whoever will be the first to be the first bird, it is obvious, that is a deadlock, basically there is no solution. With an army of more than [-] million independent divisions, the defense is insufficient, so how can we talk about countermeasures? As for the active attack, it is almost like courting death?

The civil and military officials were silent for a while, and the atmosphere in the conference room was awkward and dull. Emperor Hirohito unexpectedly did not have a gloomy face of anger, and blamed the ministers for keeping silent. He also knew that the independent division troops were overwhelming the Indochina Peninsula. , Threatening the area occupied by the imperial army is a difficult problem to solve unless, on several islands, sufficient troops are increased, but this is the biggest problem.

After several battles with the independent division troops, the garrisons in the northern overseas colonies of the empire lost all of the Korean garrison, the Kwantung Army, and most of the Far East Expeditionary Army. In addition to the tens of thousands of reinforcements successively, the loss of the Empire of Japan , more than 10 million elite troops, the country can no longer have so many reserve soldiers to defend the occupied areas in the Southwest Pacific. Thinking of this, Emperor Hirohito couldn't help but have a splitting headache.

"Your Majesty, everyone, let me first report the latest information I have obtained!" Lieutenant General Tomoichi Komura, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the base camp, took the lead in breaking the dullness of the venue, and stood up and said.

Emperor Hirohito withdrew his disturbed mood and said, "Aiqing Takamura, what's the report from your intelligence department?"

Lieutenant General Takamura first bowed to Emperor Hirohito, and then said: "According to the intelligence obtained by the agents of the General Administration of Military Intelligence lurking in the British colonies of West Indies, it is known that through the Bering Strait, the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Far East, and via China In mainland China, the Indochina Peninsula finally reached the first batch of Allied reinforcements in the West Indies, with a total of five divisions of about 12 troops, and they are about to arrive in the Australian battlefield!"

"What? Will it be so fast?" The Japanese military and political officials all exclaimed. It was a route of tens of thousands of kilometers. It only took more than 20 days. Equipment, but also through the ice and snow of the Bering Strait and the Kamchatka Peninsula area, will it be impossible to fly?

The military leaders, including Koichi Minai, expressed serious doubts about Lieutenant General Takamura's information, "Mr. Takamura, your agents must have misunderstood the information, right? With a long-distance march of 20 kilometers and a large amount of equipment, it is impossible to complete the reinforcement operation in the Australian battlefield in more than [-] days anyway!"

Facing the doubts from the bosses, Lieutenant General Gao Cun did not rush to refute, but continued with a serious face: "It is impossible in principle, but the information sent back by my agent proves this point. Five The 12-strong Allied reinforcements are on the waters of the East Indian Ocean, and it only takes about three days to reach the Australian battlefield!"

"Perhaps you are confused, but the fact is that the intelligence shows that the reinforcements of the Allied Forces marched lightly, without even carrying light weapons. The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, the commander-in-chief, is fully in charge of the reinforcement operation of the Allied forces, and it is obvious that he has carefully prepared it!"

"After the Allied reinforcements arrived in the West Indies, they immediately changed into the full set of weapons and equipment provided by Tang Qiuli, and then, under the escort of the Navy Fleet of the Independent Division, set off for the Australian battlefield. When I say this, you will understand!"

After Lieutenant General Gao Cun finished speaking, he sat down with a blank face. His responsibilities had been fulfilled, and the rest was for the generals who commanded the battle. The lingering nightmare of the Great Japanese Empire!" Almost all the military and political officials were gnashing their teeth, cursing viciously, causing the Great Japanese Empire to suffer heavy losses one after another.

After listening to Lieutenant General Takamura's briefing, General Mitsuko Minai's heart felt turbulent this time, and he couldn't continue to remain silent. The Allied reinforcements to the Australian battlefield, with the first batch, there will be a second batch, and a third batch . . . . . .Until the formation of an absolute superior force against the Imperial Army on the Australian battlefield, it seems that the previously formulated tactics of adopting stable oppression and gradually exhausting the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield must be changed!

Minai Koichi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, colleagues, it is not time to be shocked by the fact that the Allied reinforcements have arrived in the Australian battlefield. We must recognize the fact that the longer the Australian battlefield ends, the more the Allied reinforcements will be. There will be a steady stream of reinforcements, which will eventually change the situation on the Australian battlefield, and at that time, the unfavorable situation for the Imperial Army will appear!"

"Aiqing Minai, what good plan do you have? But it's okay to say!" Seeing Koichi Minai, who has never been a leader, stood up on his own initiative, Emperor Hirohito's eyes lit up, and he said urgently.

Minai Koichi bowed deeply to Emperor Hirohito, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Your servant believes that the Australian campaign must be ended as quickly as possible. In this way, Ito Gensaburo's Imperial Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Army will also be free. Returning to defend the occupied area of ​​the empire, my subordinates always believe that the main force of the independent division of the Chinese Devil Tang Qiuli, stationed in the Indochina Peninsula, with obvious intentions, is the greatest threat to the occupied area of ​​the empire!"

Koichi Minai's analysis is correct, and the officials all understand it, but the crux of the problem is how Ito Yanzaburo can annihilate the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield in the shortest possible time, so that he can free up his hands. Difficult problem to solve, aren't you Mine Koichi farting?
