Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the mainland has already had a response strategy. Should we also take action?" A Japanese lieutenant general stood up and asked respectfully.

"That's right. The purpose of sending more troops to the mainland is to thwart China's counterattack attempt. We should still use the old method and attack the Central Army first."

"This time, the locust army will launch an attack from Southeast Asia, cut off the passage between China and the outside world, and completely block them!"

Neiji Okamura said proudly.

This time, the locust army chose Southeast Asia, thousands of miles away, as the battlefield and launched a fierce attack from behind the Central Army.

No matter how powerful the First Division is, they can only sigh in despair.

"As expected of you, Commander-in-Chief, this plan is very feasible!"

"Yes, I heard that America is going to provide the Central Army with a large amount of weapons and equipment from Yunnan Province. We can just cut off their connection directly."

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has a good opinion!"

In the conference room, there was another round of flattery.

However, the plan is indeed feasible.

There is nothing to say.

The locust army had already launched a massive attack on Southeast Asia and had already established a firm foothold.

The Allied forces were no match for the brave and fearless Locust Army.

As many as come will die.

Didn’t the former Great Ying Empire also flee before them?

The locust army remains invincible.

"Send a message to Yamashita Tomoyuki. The Locust Army will transport three elite divisions to his unified command."

"At that time, we will contain the main force of the Central Army from the front, and someone will help us contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so that they dare not rashly move south."

"Tell Yamashita Tomoyuki to launch the most violent offensive to capture Yunnan Province and achieve the strategic goal of attacking the Central Army from both sides."

Okamura Neiji was overjoyed and very pleased with himself. He thought that this battle plan was foolproof.

Even if Lin Tian cooperates with the Central Army and opens the airport to a division for use.

With the South China Front Army at the front to contain the enemy and the air support from the First Division, it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito in the tropical rain forest with high mountains and dense forests, and was of no use.

Yamashita Tomoyuki commanded the empire's most elite mountain combat troops.

When the air force of Division One arrives, they can just hide in the rain forest. Even if Division One drops as many bombs as possible, they cannot hurt the locust army at all.

"Hai! The locust army will win!"

"The locust army will win!"

The Japanese generals shouted in unison, as if they had foreseen victory.

"Gentlemen, we are now strong and powerful. We have 20 heavy artillery brigades, 50 land aviation formations, and more than 70 troops!"

"As long as we try our best and serve the empire with all our strength, victory in this battle will definitely belong to the great Locust Army!"

Okamura Neiji was also infected by the atmosphere at the scene, waving his fists and shouting loudly.

It has been a long time since the locust army has had a great and satisfying victory.

Ever since Lin Tian came to prominence, the Locust Army has been suffering increasingly miserable defeats.

This time, they want to use this great victory to boost the morale of the locust army and give hope to the local people.

"The general offensive will be launched at 20:21 pm days later. After we engage in a battle with the Central Army, Yamashita Tomoyuki will immediately attack and quickly capture Yunnan Province!"

Okamura Neiji leaned over, looked at the sand table in front of him, drew his command sword and gave orders.

"Crash..."

"Hai!"

"The locust army will win!"

"The Empire will win!"

The Japanese generals stood up in unison, stood straight, raised their heads high, and shouted.

After the meeting, all the Japanese generals left the meeting room, leaving only Okamura Neiji, who looked at the sand table in front of him with vigorous spirit.

The last battle in the two lakes ended in his great defeat. This time he must win and wash away his shame.

This operation was planned by the base camp.

In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, the base camp even considered the worst possible outcome.

That is the uncertain factor, Lin Tian, ​​who popped out from some corner and disrupted the locust army's plan.

Therefore, the headquarters ordered the Kwantung Army in the Northeast to enter the pass first to attack the Eighth Route Army, help the South China Front Army to delay the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and Lin Tian’s division.

The base camp is gambling.

They were gambling, using the lives of a total of 120 million Kwantung Army and 80 Korean soldiers to buy time for victory in the southern Chinese and Southeast Asian battlefields.

Even if the Kwantung Army is completely wiped out by then, as long as the South can successfully capture the Central Army Headquarters, it can then quickly annex the entire southern China and then integrate the entire Southeast Asia and southern China.

The locust army will not lose this battle.

Besides, it is impossible for the Kwantung Army to be completely wiped out.

The Kwantung Army had the most advanced biological weapons in the world. Both the First Division and the Eighth Route Army had to pay a heavy price.

……

at the same time.

The Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.

The newly appointed commander of the Kwantung Army, Kiyoshi Miki, held a military meeting overnight.

He also received orders from the base camp.

The Kwantung Army was the biggest beneficiary of this troop increase.

Since the Japs could transport troops and supplies from the peninsula, their losses were minimal.

This led to a significant increase in the strength of the Kwantung Army.

Such a large-scale reinforcement scared the Russians.

They thought that the Japanese wanted to attack them from both sides together with their ally Sandezi.

So they quickly sent an envoy to the Japanese, and the two sides signed a non-aggression treaty.

The Japs assured that they were increasing their troops only to attack the Eighth Route Army, not to attack the Russians from the Far East.

Only then did the Russians feel relieved.

"My lords, the time has come to avenge the warriors who died in battle!"

"This commander orders the release of plague, cholera and other viruses in all areas of Northeast China to kill a large number of Chinese people and their guerrillas."

"Send out the troops to conduct a sweep and plunder all strategic materials from the homes of Chinese people, including cotton, grain, iron, copper, etc. Anything that can be used, take it all away, then massacre the villages and raze the towns to the ground!"

"All germ warfare units, carry all germ weapons and poison gas bombs, and go into battle."

"15 days later, the entire army will march south to attack the main force of the Eighth Route Army and reoccupy North China!"

This was the first time for Kiyoshi Miki to command such a large-scale operation, so he was very excited.

At the same time, he was also a die-hard extremist. The order given to him by the headquarters this time was to contain the Eighth Route Army, especially to attract the attention of the First Division Air Force to the maximum extent and prevent them from going south to reinforce the Central Army.

So, Seiichi Miki came up with such a vicious plan.

To attract the attention of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we must use hatred.

As long as he massacres Chinese people in Northeast China, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not sit idly by.

In this way, the Eighth Route Army would fight to the death with the Kwantung Army, and he would be able to successfully complete the task assigned to him by the headquarters.

As long as the Locust Army can win, Seiichi Miki is willing to use any method.
