Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2361 Not Harassment
On the Prome front line, the Japanese army stationed a total of more than [-] people. Among them, an independent mixed brigade of the Japanese regular army, and a division of the National Liberation Army composed of Indonesians and Malaysians.Generally speaking, the system of "controlling barbarians with barbarians" planned and established by Toshiichiro Koizumi in Southeast Asia is successful.As the colonized people, Indonesians and Malaysians did not have much status.At this time, the Japanese entered as liberators, and then took some appropriate measures to benefit the people, and immediately won the allegiance of the Indonesians and Malaysians.In addition, Japan at this time is the most powerful country in Asia.Koizumi introduced the policy that one can become a Japanese citizen after accumulating certain military exploits at the right time, and immediately ignited the enthusiasm of Indonesians and Malaysians.

Prome, as the forefront of the de facto confrontation between the Japanese army and the Allied forces in the Indochina Peninsula, naturally there will be no shortage of wars.However, after the Japanese army shifted their focus to Australia, the scale of the wars that took place here was small, and basically they were all tentative in nature.It is worth mentioning that at the end of last year, the British organized a counterattack.In this service, the British Indian Army invested a total of 15 troops, and dispatched one aviation division and two armored divisions.However, their superiority in numbers failed to translate into victory.Except for a little breakthrough at the beginning, and then repeated defeats, and was almost cut off by the Japanese army.

After this battle, the British were completely honest, and no longer dared to provoke war easily.As the war in North Africa became tense, the British government began to deploy troops from India to the front lines in North Africa, and they even lost the capital to compete with the Japanese army.

On the Prome front line, the supreme commander of the Japanese army was Maj. Gen. Masao Aida, and the troops directly under him were the No.13 Brigade, which was formed later as an independent Marine Corps.The current structure of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia is shared by the army and the navy. Among them, the army is responsible for the defense of the Philippines, while the navy is responsible for the defense of Indonesia, Malaysia and other places, and is responsible for the strategy of Australia.The occurrence of such a situation is naturally related to the dispute between the army and the navy, and if Toshiichiro Koizumi had not failed to attack the Philippines, the Japanese army would not even have the opportunity to intervene in Southeast Asia.As the war situation in China is increasingly unfavorable to Japan, Southeast Asia has actually become the most important supplier of raw materials for the Japanese military industry.For this reason, Tojo Hideki's Japanese army personnel are doing everything possible to control more Southeast Asian territories, so as to win more military industrial raw materials for the army.

The struggle at the top has affected the unity of the troops below.So a very interesting phenomenon appeared. When the war in Australia was tight and the Japanese navy urgently needed elite land forces to enter the front line to improve the battle situation, the Philippine Honma Masahiro Corps was conducting the so-called "anti-landing exercise" in Cavite. A look of being bored.

Closer to home, because of the battle between the army and the navy, Toshiichiro Koizumi has not many Japanese troops that can actually be used.Therefore, although the Pyay line of defense is very important, he ended up with only one brigade of local forces stationed here, and in this brigade, at least two brigades are actually composed of Indonesians.

There has been no major battle for a long time, although the devils of the No.13 Brigade of the Japanese Marine Corps' independent mixed group maintain daily training, the quality can be imagined.In the past, the combat power of the Japanese Marine Corps was notoriously bad.In this time and space, although because of Koizumi's appearance, this situation has been improved.However, because the quality of its soldiers cannot be guaranteed, its level can only deceive people.The war in China was tense, Taiwan was captured by the Xuebing Army, and the Kwantung Army had to cooperate with Germany to launch an east-west attack on the Soviet Union... All of the above made the Japanese army more and more in demand for fresh blood, and also made Hideki Tojo The domestic reserve force has a particularly tight grasp.However, if the Japanese navy wants to expand the marine corps, it can only select from the personnel eliminated by the army, and its quality can be imagined.

For Masao Aida, the days of coming to Pyay were wonderful.In just half a year since coming to Pyay, his military rank has been promoted by two ranks, from a lieutenant sergeant to a general rank in one fell swoop.When the war in Australia was tense and the combat center of the Western Expeditionary Fleet was transferred to the South Pacific, he became the commander-in-chief of the Prome garrison as a major general, and in fact he was already the commander of a front army.Looking at his classmates at the same time, he is already No. 1 in terms of position and authority, which makes him feel full of ambition.However, it seems that his complacency ends here.

The sound of the rumbling cannon sounded, and Aida woke up immediately.After all, he is an officer who came out of a regular military academy and has undergone rigorous training. Even if there is a sudden change, he can still deal with it calmly.Get up calmly, first turn on the light, and then call: "Xiaoye!"

Ono is his adjutant and lives next door to him.Ono immediately ran in, and seeing that he was still holding his military jacket, it could be seen that he was not always vigilant as required by the infantry drill code.However, Aida didn't care about these, he ordered: "Go out and see what happened."

After he finished speaking, there was a violent explosion, and then, Ono, who had just stepped out of the door with one foot, turned around and exclaimed: "The still fierce artillery fire, Your Excellency, it seems that it is not harassment."

Aida had also noticed something strange at this time.This kind of bombardment density was only experienced when the British launched a counter-offensive. Could it be that the British recovered from the previous setback and launched another counter-offensive?As soon as this thought appeared, he was immediately suppressed by him.Not long ago, the New Delhi agency had just sent intelligence, saying that the British were strained by the war in North Africa, and there was nothing they could do at the moment.Apart from the British, who else in the Indochina Peninsula would dare to stroke the imperial army's beard?French?Thai?I believe they don't have the guts, so there is only the Xuebing Army.Thinking of this, Aida's mind recalled the contents of a patrol troop's report to him yesterday, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

"Quickly, assemble the troops immediately. Is the Sakamoto brigade on duty today? Call Major Sakamoto immediately and ask him to be more vigilant. The one attacking us may be the Chinese."

Aida's reaction was not unpleasant, but compared to the cannonball, he was slow.

Sun Liren and the officers of the Third Expeditionary Army under his command had made sufficient preparations for this battle.Although, the command of the high command is to carry out a feint attack, and then decide the next move according to the situation.But for Sun Liren and the others, they all felt that their rest time was too long, and they would be rusted if they didn't go to the battlefield, so they would not let this opportunity go.

Sun Liren's order to the artillery unit was to continue the bombardment for half an hour, and the last quarter of an hour extended from the front line to the rear of the enemy's position.Based on this order, Zhang Lingfu decided to take the rifles that he had trained for a long time to the battlefield.
