At noon on September 19, Meng Xianggang issued a declaration of war. In the afternoon, the army of the Chinese National Defense Force had already crossed the border of southern China and attacked south in three ways.

All the way from Lao Cai and Liangshan to Vietnam, all the way to Tengchong into Burma, all the way from Mongla to Laos, all the way to Thailand.

In the Battle of Vladivostok, Rat Yi became the commander-in-chief of the 1.5 million army that went south.

"More than a million troops?" Nomura Kichizaburo's eyes were a little straight.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he was detained by the Americans for more than half a year, and only returned to Japan in June this year through a Japan-US exchange. With the establishment of the new coalition government in China, he was sent as a special envoy to take charge of peace talks and the establishment of diplomatic relations with China. But at the beginning, there was not a month, and when there was a little progress, the Huaxia people sent troops first.

"I protest, why did you just start a war without a note from us? It's a sneak attack! The disdainful words thrown out by the Chinese diplomat on the other side made Nomura Kichizaburo look angry, and he seemed to have forgotten that the moment he greeted the Americans with a smile last year was a sneak attack.

"Oh? I remember that we didn't have formal diplomatic relations yet! Fang Zihui's face was full of surprise that you still need a reason to beat you, which made Nomura Kichizaburo almost vomit blood.

The new coalition government of China was formed just this month, and it has been humming and not expressing its position on the request for friendly exchanges between the two sides of the Japanese. Due to the fact that the various problems left over from history have not yet been sorted out, the two sides have not yet established formal diplomatic relations at all, and to be precise, since the time when the vanguard army recovered the northeast, the two sides have been on the brink of war, nervously tense a string.

The 600,000 troops of the Chinese National Defense Force gathered along the Yalu River have reminded the Japanese to be fearful.

In order to delay the early outbreak of the war between the two sides, the Japanese constantly sent new recruits from their country to support the Korean Peninsula. At this time, more than 700,000 Japanese troops had gathered on the Korean Peninsula. However, the Japanese still did not dare to be careless, after all, the vanguard army still had more than 2 million troops in the northeast and the Far East, and it could be swept by the north wind at any time.

However, the Korean Peninsula, which the Japanese had expected, had not yet moved, and the war in the south had begun beforehand.

It is not easy for Japan to exhaust the 3 million troops carrying guns at this time, and although there are still many other troops, they do not even have a single gun in their hands, and they are not at all useful.

In the northeast and north of Korea, more than one million people were pinned down, and as a result, half of them were wiped out by the vanguard army in the northeast.

The more than one million troops going south, although it was enough to deal with the soft-footed Anglo-Dutch troops when attacking Southeast Asia, but with the expansion of the front and entering India and Australia, the army gradually became overstretched.

In this era, there was a lack of fast means of dispatch, and the Japanese transportation and logistics were so bad, which made it necessary to place a certain number of people to occupy Jing'an.

As the Japanese plundered intensified, so did the revolts in various places, which needed to be suppressed. Even the submissive natives need to be deterred. More than a million troops have been scattered into such a vast territory, and they have become thinner and thinner.

300,000 troops are in India, 300,000 elite troops are in Australia, and the remaining 700,000 troops in Southeast Asia are also considered a powerful force.

However, these 700,000 troops are mixed with a lot of water, and they can be used as police forces in the local area, but after all, the main combat personnel have been transferred to Australia, India, and the Korean Peninsula.

The Indian and Australian fronts are gathering elite troops that can fight, and the troops on the occupied territory have been replaced by new recruits or those second- and third-rate troops.

Some of the elite troops had already been transferred back to the Korean Peninsula when the war started in the Northeast.

Under thousands of defenses, they were all captured by the vanguard army in the northeast. In the face of the heavy force of the vanguard army, where do the Japanese dare to be sloppy?

However, the elite was sent to the Korean Peninsula, and the Chinese here attacked the Southeast Asian region where the army was empty.

"Despicable China!" Nomura Kichizaburo cursed bitterly.

The Japanese also knew the emptiness of their forces in Southeast Asia, but their greedy nature kept them from expanding. Moreover, the Japanese learned that the Chinese had gathered more than 5 million troops in Siberia, the Far East, Central Asia, Outer Mongolia, Northeast China and other places in the north.

There were still battles in Central Asia and the Urals, and while Siberia and the Far East were migrating greatly, the Japanese did not expect that the Chinese would attack the south so quickly.

An unexpected incident occurred that made all the luck of the Japanese come to naught.

"Note? Do you need it? There is no need to condemn or protest! Speak with guns and they will understand better! Meng Xiang was very dismissive of the protests made by the Japanese.

The Japanese are only now thinking of diplomatic means, talking about international conventions, why didn't they say these things in Nanjing in the first place?

Without absolute strength support, diplomacy can only be a few tricks.

"I'll talk about it when I'm done!" Meng Xiang finally threw this sentence to Lao Yan, who was in charge of dealing with the Japanese, and continued to pay attention to the war in the south.

……

"Quickly report, a large number of Huaxia troops have appeared behind us!" Xiao Zhao Nanfu shouted in horror, but his alarm did not reach the forward command headquarters, and his alert team had already reaped the last shred of consciousness from the continuous rain of 7.62 mm bullets.

Before the smoke cleared, countless soldiers in green camouflage uniforms jumped out of the jungle and rushed behind the devils defending the checkpoint ahead.

Whether it's Vietnam or Myanmar, these border areas are densely jungled and difficult to navigate. In some areas, it can be said that one husband is the key to ten thousand people. Even with modern weapons it is not easy to use. Otherwise, the many wars fought in Southeast Asia would have been so difficult.

This is also a major reason why Meng Xiang is cautious and cautious, has been arranging in Southeast Asia, and has not started a war for a long time.

What he needed was not just to drive out the Japanese, but to destroy them and all the enemies, and to occupy the land once and for all.

It takes an army to adapt to the environment.

Sun Liren and others trained 2 million troops, and with sufficient preparations, this operation began.

By the time Meng Xiang gave the war order, there were already more than 300,000 Chinese troops secretly lurking in the jungles at various critical checkpoints.

Southeast Asia has this benefit, and the Tibetans are especially easy, even the Japanese are difficult to control.

And the sub-bases gave these troops sufficient logistical support.

The Japanese amassed a large number of elite troops on the border and strictly guarded the dangerous checkpoints everywhere. But this arrangement was mostly ineffective under the front and rear attacks of the vanguard army.

Losing the precipitousness of the geographical advantage, the Japanese could only fight hard.

"The artillery fire here cannot be used, and the artillery fire of the vanguard army is of little use! It's time to give the people of China a taste of our bayonets! Jiro Aoki puffed his hands and said.

A group of Japanese soldiers took up the 38 style and aimed at the Chinese troops who rushed up with the help of the cover of trees and rocks.

But before they could open fire, a continuous rain of bullets brought them down first.

"How can they have so many light machine guns?" This is the doubt of every fallen Japanese soldier.

Even Jiro Aoki, who was standing with a command knife, was puzzled, the main weapon of the vanguard army was the Suomi submachine gun, which could easily rain bullets. But the range of the submachine gun is limited, and in the Japanese research, more than two hundred meters is no longer much of a threat.

Aoki Jiro strictly followed the reminders in the textbook and prepared to teach the vanguard a lesson at 300 meters. But this time, the barrage of the vanguard army began to advance first from a distance of three hundred meters.

The barrage continued to advance, even directly penetrating the trees at the mouth of those bowls, knocking down the devils who were hiding behind.

At this time, Aoki Jiro finally realized that the weapons of these vanguard troops were no longer submachine guns.

Of course, if he could light up his titanium dog eyes with a little golden finger, he would be able to recognize these weapons that were very similar to the well-known weapons AK-47 of later generations, which were still called submachine guns, but their names were five or six types.

……

With the establishment of a new coalition government, Meng Xiang suddenly found that the base had changed again.

"Does this mean that although those well-known foreign weapons after World War II are still at the original price or even twice the price, the weapons of Red China 62 years ago can already enjoy half price, or even a quarter of the discount?" As Xiaohua became more and more cooperative, Meng Xiang asked Xiaohua directly.

"It can be as low as one-sixth!" Xiaohua added.

Meng Xiang couldn't help but be ecstatic, which meant that many advanced weapons could be equipped on a large scale. The Red China of 62 years ago was unambiguous in terms of weaponry. Although there were more Soviet-style weapons, the Soviet Russian armed forces at that time accounted for half of the country.

"Is it the change caused by the new state power?" Meng Xiang held back his joy and asked again.

"There is no standard answer!" Xiaohua's answer left Meng Xiang speechless.

However, this did not prevent him from quickly delivering the new weapons to the front-line troops using the AK-47 first.

Suomi has not been tested by the rainforest in history, but the AK-47 is the killer of the jungle in later generations, in order to reduce casualties, Meng Xiang specially produced a lot of AK-47 at a high price to equip elite troops, and more troops have relevant training. Five-six production is the right time.

So the Japanese once again experienced the rain of bullets from the forest to the vanguard.
