Chapter 283 Fear of the grass on the wall

"Mr. Commander, Hu Yi suggested sending the 2nd Army to Thailand. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for us to march into Australia anymore. Therefore, the troops of the 2nd Army can be transferred to other war zones." Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku suggested.
The purpose of the Japanese-British Southern Army to form the 2nd Army was to carry out an invasion of Australia. However, the rise of the anti-Japanese and rescue forces posed a great threat to them. Before resolving the anti-Japanese and rescue forces, it was obvious that they could not launch a battle against Australia. What's more, the main force of the Japanese-British Navy was also dragged by the US Navy near Guadalam. Without the support of the navy, the Japanese-British Army could not swim to Australia by itself, right?
Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly the best choice to put the 2nd Army into other war zones.
General Soichi Deanuchi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, give the 2nd Army orders to start from Lanyin immediately and go to Thailand to stand by. This time, we must make the Chinese people pay a heavy price in Thailand!"
The 2nd Japanese Army, with the 5th Division, the 32nd Division, the 35th Division, the 36th Division, the 57th Brigade, the 128th Brigade, the 2nd Marine Mobile Brigade, and the 4th Engineer Command. Among them, the 35th Division, the 36th Division, the 57th Brigade and the 128th Brigade were eliminated by the anti-Japanese rescue during the Myanmar campaign, and were reorganized from reinforcements sent from Japan and Japan. Now, their combat effectiveness has not been restored. However, even so, the 4 divisions and three brigades have made the total strength of the 2nd Army still reach more than 10,000 people. If this unit enters Thailand and cooperates with the 18th Front, it will make the Japanese army not at all at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. If the Thai army is included, they will be at the upper hand in terms of military strength.
Of course, being at the upper hand in military strength does not mean that they can defeat the Anti-Japanese and Rescue on the battlefield. The combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue on the battlefield has been tested on the Myanmar battlefield. It will be very difficult for the Japanese army to defeat the Anti-Japanese and Rescue on the battlefield.
"In addition, we ordered the country to speed up the dispatch of additional troops, and all of them were transported to Indochina. There, the Burmese Front Army was rebuilt there." General Soichi Desouchi ordered.
Although the Myanmar Front was eliminated, if it could be rebuilt, it still had great combat power. It was a unit composed of 6 divisions and 3 independent mixed brigades, with a total force of 120,000 people.
"Hi, Commander." Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku and Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan replied.
If the Myanmar Front Army and other troops that were eliminated by the Anti-Japanese Rescue were able to be rebuilt, then the combat effectiveness of the Southern Army would return to its heyday.↑△Small↓△ . .m】Of course, this refers more to the military strength. If you really look at combat effectiveness, there might be a big gap. After all, those newly enlisted recruits and veterans who have experienced the battle test are nothing special. Even though many of these reserve personnel are retired village soldiers before, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with elite veterans.
After these orders were issued, the tension in General Soichi Tekanai disappeared a lot. In his opinion, they were fully prepared. It was impossible for them to defeat them again when fighting against Japan and rescue them. It was even more dreaming to reappear the brilliant victory of the Myanmar battlefield. After all, on the Myanmar battlefield, all Japanese troops were put into the battlefield one by one. This formed a tactic of adding fuel to the oil. However, on the Thai battlefield, everything was different. They would have sufficient troops to be ready to fight a war with the Anti-Japanese and Rescue.
The Prime Minister's Office, the capital of Thailand. Japan's Ambassador to Thailand, Seiji Pingkang, is talking to Thai Prime Minister Pibune Songkan.
On the morning of December 11, 1941, Piwen Songkan signed a temporary offensive and defensive alliance agreement with the Japanese ambassador, and signed the official "Japan-Thailand Alliance Treaty" in front of the Jade Buddha in the Royal Palace Buddhist Temple on December 21 of that year, and the Japan-Thailand alliance formed. One month later, on January 25, 1942, Thailand declared war on Britain and the United States.
This made Thailand and Japan allies, especially on that day, who handed over four Malay states in northern Malaya (Perms, Kedah, Kelantan and Tinganu) to Thailand, which made Piven Songkan's reputation reach its peak.
However, as Japan and Bomb were defeated on the battlefield in Myanmar, they resisted Japan and rescued the troops from the border, and were about to launch an attack on Thailand. Phibu Songkan became a little nervous all day long.
The reason is that in addition to fearing that the Japanese army was defeated by the anti-Japanese rescue, he also implemented an anti-Chinese policy in Thailand when he became the Prime Minister of Thailand. Although his own ancestors were also Chinese, his ancestral home was Chaozhou, Guangdong, and his father's surname was Wu. However, by his generation, he had already forgotten his ancestors. After he came to power, he still suppressed the Chinese crazily. Once the anti-Japanese rescue rescue invaded Thailand, would he still have a way out? This made Piwen Songkan very scared, afraid that he would be liquidated.
"Prime Minister, Commander Suichi Deanuchi, hope that from now on, the Thai army will be able to accept the command of the 18th Front Army under the Southern Army of the Ojibun Empire. When the Chinese people are very likely to attack Thailand, we must unite and unite all our strength to fight against the Chinese people." Ambassador Satoji Tsukiga said.
Piwen Songkan frowned. Thailand's 100,000 troops were guaranteed to settle down. Now, he was practicing military dictatorship in Thailand. Without the army, what would he use to suppress those opponents? If he did, he would be overthrown soon. However, he also knew that Japan's request could not be rejected. Once Japan's angered, the consequences would be even more serious.
"Amistant, can the powerful Japanese and Chinese army stop the attack of fighting against Japan and rescuing the Japanese?" asked Piwen Songkan.
"Of course, the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire can defeat the Chinese people. However, we need more troops to support it. The Chinese people have also received strong support from the Americans to have strong combat power. Thailand is an ally of the Great Japanese Empire. At this time, you must stand on the side of the Great Japanese Empire. Otherwise, you should know what the consequences will be if the Chinese people invade Thailand. I'm afraid that those suppressed Chinese people will be the first to spare you!" Ambassador Satoshi Tsuki was a little angry.
