Chapter 915: Pursuit to the West

"Attack!" With Meng Xiang's order, the southern Huaxia army began another round of assault on January 10, 44.

Quiet as a virgin, moving as a cunning rabbit.

The actions of the Chinese army have always puzzled the Japanese.

It obviously broke through the forward defense line of the Japanese army, but the Chinese army often stagnated, and regarded the great merit of going straight to the heart of the Japanese army as nothing, and acted step by step, not giving the Japanese a chance to lure and annihilate at all. And when the Japanese were helpless in the face of the encroachment of the Chinese army little by little, the Chinese army suddenly attacked, and the entire army was pressed for dozens of miles.

After the Japanese reacted, the frontline positions of the entire Chinese army became impregnable, and the Japanese army was not given any opportunity to take advantage of at all.

Even if he took advantage of the Chinese recruit squad who fought hard in the jungle, he was recovered in an instant by the elite of the Chinese army with developed communications.

After a long time, counting the few enemies they had destroyed and the number of people their own troops had unknowingly consumed, some Japanese also realized that the Chinese were not only training their troops, but also a way of fighting in which their achievements were accumulated.

But they tried their best, but they still couldn't change this situation, and they could only passively follow the rhythm of the Huaxia army.

Perhaps this can also achieve the strategic goal of delaying the Chinese army and giving Japan a chance to breathe, and finally the Japanese also admit it and get used to the Chinese army's style of play.

So when they learned that the Huaxia army had started a large-scale raid again, they didn't pay much attention to it, and while resisting, they were preparing to retreat for dozens of miles.

Even the Japanese have always liked to advance the high command headquarters, which has long since moved to a distance of 30 kilometers from the front line.

Thirty kilometers is already the maximum limit of the extension of China's fierce cannon fodder. According to the observation and summary of the Japanese, for the Chinese army, which often relied on artillery fire to overwhelm the Japanese, 30 kilometers was generally the range of a one-time counterattack. High command of the Japanese. Even if they are not afraid of shelling from artillery fire. I am also afraid that the Chinese army will come by surprise.

Although the Chinese did not take prisoners of ordinary Japanese soldiers, they preferred to capture them alive for those high-ranking officers.

A high-ranking Japanese officer who was captured alive by the Chinese. He has always been pushed to the war court in China, and in front of many Chinese people, he has counted various crimes. Then the death penalty was imposed.

Almost every high-ranking officer of the Japanese has a blood debt to Huaxia, and one is accurate.

The same is the end of death, but also humiliation, and the capital punishment sentenced by the Chinese people, and they especially like to use the direct beheading that makes the Japanese particularly terrifying, and even the dead corpse often becomes a bargaining chip for the exchange of prisoners of war between the Chinese and the Japanese, etc., which is completely used, which makes the Japanese senior officers fight with the Chinese troops. Extraordinarily cautious.

But this time, their caution doesn't seem to work. The southern army of Huaxia broke through the limit of thirty kilometers at once and continued to assault southward. Even the Japanese officers who were completely besieged behind them ignored them.

The Japanese, who were accustomed to the original rhythm of war in the Chinese army, were stunned by this sudden change. Even within three days of the Chinese army's sweep, there was a mess. There is simply no way to organize an effective offensive.

The 60-kilometer position on the front line of the Japanese defense, which was heavily defended, was pierced by the Chinese army that poured out its strength in less than a day. Next, with the exception of a few important areas to prevent the airborne landing of Huaxia, the defenses of other places can almost be said to be thinner than paper.

However, this time the Chinese army is a lion fighting rabbit, and it is no longer a steady and steady battle of some armies step by step, but directly put nearly 2 million troops into it, striving to quickly solve the problems of the Indochina Peninsula as soon as possible before the outside world reacts.

At the same time, the hidden and latent accumulation of power in many Japanese occupation areas in the South Seas also burst out.

There was no need for airdrops, and the Huaxia National Defense Force, which had slowly accumulated under the help and cover of the Chinese armed forces, with the support of air firepower and heavy firepower weapons at the base, became a sharp knife inserted into the core area of the Japanese army. Although it did not seek to break the enemy, it was enough to stir up the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese were also unable to suppress these internal turmoil, and the Chinese armies from the north and east had already defeated them, and it was difficult for them to take care of them.

Previously, French Indochina had been basically occupied by the Chinese, and there were only a few stubborn Japanese strongholds scattered everywhere, which were kept by Meng Xiang as pawns to balance against the natives, and they did not pose a threat at all. However, this time, the area and number of attacks were also reduced.

More than half of the Malay Peninsula was occupied by China, leaving only Singapore in the south and the area north of Songkhla in the north. This time, the Chinese army entrenched in the middle of this golden peninsula attacked all the way north, and without waiting for the Thai king to announce his surrender, it took only a week to join the Chinese army attacking from the north and east to Bangkok.

The following week, the Japanese attacked from the land and captured the small land of Singapore.

Most of the 300,000 Japanese troops in Thailand were wiped out by the rapid assault of the Chinese army, and the remaining 100,000 could only retreat in the direction of Burma.

The east, north and south were already blocked by the Chinese control, and the Japanese sea forces simply did not have time to evacuate so many troops and supplies, they could only go west.

This time, the surprise attack of the Chinese army was large-scale, not only in the Indochina Peninsula, but also on Sumatra and Kalimantan, which already occupied half of the country, and also launched a large-scale surprise attack, annihilating more than 200,000 Japanese troops in half a month, completely controlling these two large islands.

In just half a month, before the outside world can figure out what's going on, Huaxia has turned the clouds and rain in Southeast Asia and controlled more than half of the region.

After losing more than 400,000 troops in a short period of time, the Japanese army in Southeast Asia was left with only the Philippines, Java and other islands, and only southern Burma was left on the Asian continent within Southeast Asia.

The Chinese attack on Burma was relatively weak, allowing the remnants of the Japanese army in Indochina to retreat into Burma. Although the Chinese army followed behind them, it did not achieve the effect of direct encirclement and annihilation as in other places.

"It's really not a taste to watch the little devil run away like this!" Liu Fangwu, who was already a major general and division commander, looked at Sun Lidao unwillingly.

"There is a unified arrangement above, just don't let go of the devils who should be beaten next!" Sun Liren glanced at him, and then said lightly.

Although the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army this time was Rat Yi, it was mainly Sun Liren who was busy up and down. The war in French Indochina has ended, and the deputy commander Bai Chongxi has completed his task, and the entire battle in British Indochina belongs to Sun Liren.

Although Meng Xiang did not elaborate, he pointed to the strategic intention of driving the wolf and devouring the dog, and Sun Liren naturally understood the use of the remaining Japanese, and directly opened the passage in southern Burma, driving the remnants of the Japanese all the way to the Indo-Burmese border.

There were more than 200,000 Indian puppet troops with it, in this Chinese raid, 300,000 Indian puppet troops and 700,000 indigenous puppet troops were annihilated, and only 100,000 of the remaining indigenous troops retreated west with the Japanese, and the others were scattered into the jungle and fled separately.

The Japanese also wanted to take advantage of the chaos of these people fleeing in all directions to hinder the pursuit of the Chinese army, but those natives had already been frightened and only cared about fleeing for their lives, so where did they have to serve the locusts again? Just like a small wave touching the bow of an ironclad ship, it had no effect on the pursuit of the Chinese army at all.

The Huaxia army pursued closely behind the fleeing Japanese troops, so that they did not have time to stop and organize an effective blockade, and under the pressure from the north and east, they could only continue to flee. Originally, it was hoped that the Burmese garrison would be able to block it, but under the full pressure of the Chinese army, it was another rout.

In the case that at any time it was possible to hear that the Chinese armored forces and airborne troops would block the retreat and be surrounded and annihilated, the Japanese could only leave part of the army behind, and the large army continued to retreat westward, and the small-scale blocking was completely ineffective. Even though the Huaxia troops dispatched armored units mainly light tanks, with the support of aerial firepower, the defensive line hastily arranged by the Japanese was also crushed with one blow.

On January 24, the Chinese army invaded Yangon and continued its pursuit westward to the sound of firecrackers celebrating this special Chinese New Year's Eve by the surrounding Chinese.

In the pursuit all the way, in mid-February, after the Japanese left behind another 100,000 Japanese corpses and nearly 100,000 Japanese troops who fled into the jungle, the remaining 200,000 or so Japanese troops withdrew to the Indian border and joined up with the 300,000 Japanese troops who remained in India, preparing to use the terrain of the Burma-India border to block the Chinese army.

However, the Huaxia army stopped the pursuit near the border, which had lasted for nearly a month, and stationed there. In addition to intensifying the suppression of bandits in the surrounding areas and taking over the property left behind by the Japanese, there were no more large-scale military operations, and it seemed that it had suddenly calmed down again.

And the outside world because of the actions of the Chinese army in Nanyang, at this time, it has set off earth-shattering waves.
