After listening to Gao Jianguo's words, Zhou Billy nodded and said: "This method is good, the veterans and recruits of the Death Army combined, at most 200,000, if it is implemented according to my plan, even if it is all invested in the Indochina Peninsula, I am afraid it will not be enough." Every time we occupy an area, we have to set aside a certain amount of troops to defend it. As a result, sooner or later there will be tension in the troops.

If a group of activists are selected from the Japanese laborers, given simple training, and then they are issued with some cold weapons such as bows, crossbows, swords, shields, and spears, and if they carry out some auxiliary tasks such as security patrols, internal guards, and prisoners, and they can also cooperate with the main force in battle at critical moments, then we can greatly alleviate the problem of the shortage of our troops. ”

Li Ming also said: "The idea of an armed police force is good, and in the future, the company's overseas territories and various colonies can be equipped with some armed police forces." It is also a good idea to select Japanese laborers. Although these little devils are sometimes dead-eyed, they are down-to-earth and willing to work hard, and we are not convinced. ”

"Since you all have no opinion, then I will report this proposal to the company and let the board committee of the company vote as soon as possible. If the resolution passes, we will immediately proceed with the formation of armed police training camps. Let's take the place in Luzon. And in the next step, we will find an area in Luzon with a tropical rainforest environment and build a few more camps, so that all the brave army units and armed police participating in the war can be familiar with the rainforest environment as much as possible before the war, improve the ability to survive in the wild, and reduce unnecessary non-combat attrition. ”

After Gao Jianguo finished speaking, several people nodded in agreement. So several people studied the plan to form an armed police training camp. A well-developed plan was then drawn up and submitted to the board committee of the company, pending the results of the committee's vote.

After the end of the Indian campaign, more than 100,000 veterans of the Death Army have been stationed and trained in various parts of India. The Samurai Army performed well in the Indian campaign, fighting as bravely and ruthlessly as ever.

They were before the armed police force was stationed in India. Carry out local security and garrison duties. In the course of their mission, the company's indigenous people in the various occupied areas of India were all put in order, and every day they were executed and hung on the side of the road.

And the people who were put to death died in a terrible state. It's miserable.

In the early days of the occupation of the Far East, many tribes in various places who tried to resist were killed by the death army, and the company was full of Jingguan in the occupied areas of India. The murderous death army units have rapidly improved the law and order in the various occupied areas of India, and the situation is also very stable.

As the Japanese armed police units were deployed to India, the death force gradually handed over the garrison of the occupied areas of India to the armed police force. Although the armed police force is not as brutal as the death army, a large number of armed police forces from Japanese laborers are in the process of carrying out their tasks in peacetime. However, it is known for its strict and ruthless law enforcement, and tortures the Indian natives in the occupied areas of India to death.

After a brutal purge by the murderous Death Breakers, the law and order situation in the occupied areas of the Far East Company was now extremely good, and there was basically no incident of resistance, because those who had a tendency to rebel were all dead.

In the next few days, Gao Jianguo, Li Ming and others took boats to find several places in southern Luzon that were characteristic of the tropical rainforest environment and used as camps for the death army and the armed police force. It also organized forces to step up the construction of various camps.

Other than that. Two camps will also be built in Chittagong, Bangladesh, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean. It served as the starting base for the western front offensive of the Indochina Daring Army.

In the future, the company will develop New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand, and the Death Army and the Japanese Armed Police Force will also be the main force participating in the war, and it is also a top priority to train the Death Army and the Japanese Armed Police Force to adapt to the tropical rainforest environment.

Because the operational environment in the Indochina Peninsula is extremely harsh, the Central Military Commission has also given full consideration to the equipment of the death army units and the Japanese armed police units participating in the war, and has studied and improved the clothing, weapons and equipment, armor, and bedding supplies.

The costume of the Samurai Army is a replica of the World War II Afrika Korps tropical shirt, shorts, and tall lace-up boots. And the tropical jungle camouflage paint is used, only the front and rear chest armor are retained, the steel helmet and grimace mask bamboo sunhat are covered with gauze, and the gauze can be put down to shield mosquitoes.

The armament was configured in such a way that ordinary soldiers were equipped with front-loading rifled double-barreled fire cap % guns. Non-commissioned officers are armed with Type 28 short-barreled single-shot rifles and forty-mm grenade launchers, and officers are armed with Type 28 revolver and forty-mm grenade launchers.

In addition, each officer and soldier is equipped with a jungle field knife, four grenades, two smoke bombs, and two wattage shells as standard. The brigade level is equipped with a machine gun battery with six water-cooled heavy machine guns and six 60-mm mortars. At the divisional level, an infantry battalion was strengthened, armed with 18 70-mm infantry guns.

The Military Commission will select 100,000 Japanese laborers to form a Japanese armed police force stationed in the Indochina Peninsula and transport them by ship to a training base in southern Luzon for three months of intensive training.

In addition, all kinds of medicines and field first-aid kits are also very complete, especially anti-malaria medicines are well prepared, so as to avoid non-combat attrition. Others, including insect repellent powder, cooling oil, safflower oil, antivenom and other field medicines, are also very complete. After all, the Indochina Peninsula is relatively large, and the terrain is complex, and there are many tropical jungle environments, and the Far East seems to have a lot of troops participating in the war, but in fact it is still slightly insufficient.

The Overseas Army will also send several overseas divisions to participate in the battle, serving as a reserve for the Samurai Army, ready for reinforcements at any time. The Air Department dispatched the Southern Air Boat Wing to provide all-round air support to the ground forces participating in the war.

The Far Eastern Military Commission has also transferred a large number of combat and logistical support detachments, such as communications, sanitary, and engineer troops, from field units and overseas group armies, and deployed them to various units of the samurai group army to strengthen their combat effectiveness.

The Admiralty will also form a joint fleet with four sub-fleets under its command to support various attack directions in the Indochina Peninsula. A large number of offshore and inland river steam deck barges from the Indian Theater and the South China Sea Garrison were dispatched to penetrate deep into the Indochina Peninsula by using several major rivers in the Indochina Peninsula, including the Salween River, the Chao Paiya River, the Irrawaddy River, the Chao Phraya River, the Mekong River, and the Red River.

The campaign of Indochina was to begin at the end of 1640 and end before the rainy season of 1641. The southern part of the Central Plains was completely knocked down and connected with the Indian South Asian subcontinent. (To be continued.) )
