Chapter 316 The decision of Shouyi in the temple

The commander of the Southern Army, General Soichi Teruchi, Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku, and Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan, began a conspiracy in the office of General Soichi Teruchi.

There is only one content of the conspiracy, that is, how can they win the battlefield in Thailand and defeat the anti-Japanese rescue in one fell swoop. It is best to annihilate the main force of the anti-Japanese rescue in Thailand. In this way, the Japanese army can take advantage of the victory to pursue, attack Myanmar in one fell swoop, and uproot the anti-Japanese rescue.

Of course, to do all this, we must further strengthen the Japanese military strength on the battlefield in Thailand.

"Hiss Commander, during this period, I have specially collected information about the Chinese and the Myanmar military government they established. The Chinese have now developed to two armies, more than 300,000. The attack on Thailand is their first army and their main force. Their 2nd army is still training in Myanmar to protect Myanmar. The Myanmar military government is developing rapidly with the support of the Americans. Especially in industry, with the strong support of the Americans, a large number of factories are being started. Once all their factories are completed and put into production, they will have extremely strong industrial strength. Especially in the military industry, they will have huge production capacity. This means that they will be able to gradually get rid of the support of the Americans. Their combat effectiveness will be further improved. At that time, it will be even more difficult to deal with." Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan said with a serious expression.

"Yes! Commander, the Chinese people only dispatched one army, which caused us heavy losses and was unable to resist. If we do not find a way to eliminate their main force and interrupt their upward trend, the consequences will be even more serious." Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku also said.

General Tochi Tanuchi nodded. He also knew that the speed of the anti-Japanese rescue was too amazing. It only took half a year from their establishment to the present. However, they have gradually developed into a major concern of the Southern Army. If they had used thunderous means to directly destroy them, there might not have been so many things.

However, it is too late to say this now, and there is no medicine for regret in the world. The anti-Japanese and rescue efforts have developed. If you want to destroy them, you must invest more strength and pay a greater price.

But even so, they must grit their teeth and kill the anti-Japanese rescue. Only in this way can they ensure that they are no longer threatened by the anti-Japanese rescue.

"That's right, it was indeed our mistake that we did not eliminate the anti-Japanese rescue at the first time. Now, the big mistake has been made, and we must find a way to make up for this. Even if we pay the big price, we still need to eliminate the anti-Japanese rescue." General Taruchi Toru said firmly.

Seeing that General Soichi Desouchu had made up his mind, Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku and Lieutenant General Takahashi were relieved.

"However, besides the 18th Front and the 2nd Army, which other unit can we draw to the Thai battlefield?" asked Soichi Teraunuchi. After all, the Southern Army's current strength is already very empty, and it will be very difficult to draw troops to the Thai battlefield.

"Your Excellency Commander, why don't we draw troops from the 7th Front Army!" Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku suggested.

"The 7th Front Army?" General Tochi Tanuchi frowned. The 7th Front Army, stationed on the Malay Peninsula and the front line of Sumatra, has three armies under it, with a total of 4 divisions, 8 brigades, 3 transportation headquarters and 3 defense teams, with more than 100,000 troops.

There are not many such troops. In particular, one of the divisions and three independent mixed brigades were rebuilt after being eliminated by the anti-Japanese war on the Myanmar battlefield. Although it has been reorganized, its combat effectiveness has not been restored.

"The 7th Front Army is not good. If the Chinese win on the battlefield in Thailand, the Malay Peninsula will become their next target of attack. Although we must try our best to defeat the Chinese on the battlefield in Thailand. However, we must also make the worst plans. Therefore, the 7th Front Army's troops will not only not be able to move, but also need to be further strengthened." Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan suggested.

General Takahashi Nobuka nodded: "Takahashi-kun said it well, the 7th Front Army cannot be transferred."

"Then where should we draw?" asked Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku.

"Commander, I suggest to draw the 38th Army to Thailand. The 2nd Division, 21st Division, 37th Division, 55th Division, and independent mixed 34th Brigade under the 38th Army. Although the 55th Division was completely wiped out on the battlefield in Myanmar, it has now been rebuilt. The entire 38th Army has more than 80,000 people. If the 38th Army can enter the battlefield in Thailand, plus the remnants of the 2nd Army and the 18th Front, we will have a greater advantage. It is not impossible to defeat the Chinese people." Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan suggested.

"Is the 38th Army? It is indeed appropriate to draw the 38th Army. They are not far from Thailand and can arrive in a very short time." Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku said.

General Tochi Tanouchi also nodded, and he also tended to this point. The 38th Army had more than 80,000 people, the 2nd Army had more than 90,000 people, and the 18th Front Army had more than 40,000 people. If this were added, there would be more than 200,000 people. If the Thai Army was added, it might not be able to fight against the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts.

However, the only thing to worry about is how the situation in Indochina stabilized after the 38th Army was transferred? After all, the Vietnamese there were very dishonest and were always resisting Japanese rule.

"If we draw the 38th Army, what should we do if the defense of Indochina is done?" asked General Taruchi Tochi.

"His Excellency Commander, the defense of Indochina can be handed over to the Myanmar Front. After the Myanmar Front was completely wiped out, we are working on reconstruction. The troops drawn from the country are reconstructing in Indochina. Although the reorganization has not been completed yet, each unit has a certain combat power. Although, they may not be opponents of the Chinese on the battlefield. However, there should be no problem in suppressing the situation in Indochina." Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan said.
