On March 14, Hainan was recaptured.

Although there was no sub-base on Hainan Island, the defensive strength of the Japanese army on Hainan Island was also much worse, and in just one day, 100,000 Chinese troops tore through the defense lines of Haikou, Sanya, Wenchang and other places and attacked the island. The Japanese resistance lasted only 3 days before it completely collapsed. In just 7 days, the Japanese army in Hainan and other places was recovered one after another.

Except for a few remnants of the Japanese army, who hid in the mountains and forests, everything else was cleared.

Anyone who has stayed in the territory of Huaxia, Meng Xiang has no intention of letting them go free. Either they will be put to death directly or by trial, or they will be put into the ranks of life servitude after the trial, and the last trace of surplus value will be squeezed out.

On 26 March, the 300,000 Huaxia landing army, which had blossomed internally with the help of its sub-bases, also occupied almost all the large and small county towns in Taiwan, and entered the next stage of clearing the remnants of the enemy in the countryside and in the mountains and forests.

The Japanese have penetrated deeply into Taiwan, and even if Taiwan is recovered, the future clean-up will be a long process, and there is no urgency.

Unlike the Korean Peninsula, which was in a fierce war, the reconquest of Hainan and Taiwan was as easy as the landing of Chinese troops in southern Indochina and Malaya.

The Japanese did not expect that the Chinese army would land in these places at all, nor did they expect that the Chinese army would have such a powerful amphibious combat capability.

They only took precautions against Hainan, Taiwan, and the Korean Peninsula, which were close to the mainland of China, but they did not expect that China would directly land in the south of the Indochina Peninsula.

Naturally, they didn't know that there was a sub-base on the island of Sumatra that had been manufacturing weapons in a steady stream, which was also one of the secret bases of the legendary umbrella.

They also didn't know that Meng Xiang had successively formed his own armed forces among the Chinese in Nanyang over the years, and that the Chinese soldiers who had been continuously sent to Nanyang over the years had easily deployed 120,000 fully armed troops in various places this time to attack Kuala Lumpur, Saigon, Phnom Penh and other places.

At this time, the Japanese army was concentrated in the north, to deal with the approach of the Chinese army, and even Yamashita Fengwen ran from Singapore to Bangkok, dealing with the Chinese army from Chiang Mai and Vientiane, and also escaped a catastrophe.

After all, the rest of the army can only maintain basic stability. It was okay to deal with the guerrillas and resistance groups who were only armed with light weapons, but in the face of the regular army with artillery, tanks and planes, it was impossible to stop them, not to mention the fact that there were many local Chinese who responded to the cooperation of the outside world. The already fragile defense line of the Japanese was full of holes and was easily crushed.

When Yamashita Fengwen heard that the Huaxia army had occupied some areas in the rear, his face was also full of disbelief.

The main reason why the Japanese defense in the rear was so loose was that these places were already internal areas belonging to the ruling zone. Australia has basically done it, India has also accounted for half of it, Ceylon has also been fully occupied, plus the blockade of Indonesian islands such as Sumatra. The attack from the Indian Ocean has been stopped, and the two island chains formed by the Philippines, Micronesia and Marshall have also blocked the possibility of a sneak attack by the Americans.

Although the defense of Hainan and other places was not strong, the work of reconnaissance and inspection was not sloppy in the slightest, and in addition to the patrols in the South China Sea from the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as the prying eyes of spies scattered in China, even if China made any big moves, it was difficult to escape the eyes of the Japanese. Moreover. The navy of China has always been despised by the Japanese.

Unexpectedly, inside the Japanese occupation zone, a heavily armed Chinese regular army emerged, so that the Japanese did not have much chance to react.

"The Chinese army that landed in our rear this time should not be very strong. Otherwise, they wouldn't have spared Singapore and Yangon! Yamashita quickly saw the reality of this sudden appearance of the Chinese army.

Singapore is known for its connection between India and the mainland. There were always heavy troops, and the British army had a strong defense system against the sea. Similarly, in order to resist the attack of the Chinese army on Burma, Yangon also concentrated heavy troops, and even organized a group of Indian puppet troops to participate in the war here, which is not easy to gnaw like Bangkok, which is heavily garrisoned.

Saigon was also a place where heavy troops were gathered, but because of the heavy interception of Japanese naval forces from the Philippines and Da Nang, Saigon's defenses had long been empty.

This time, the landing attack of the Chinese army in the south, under a surprise attack, was the easiest to fight more with less. In order to obtain the maximum benefits, they all went to Japan's weak points, and the shortcomings of insufficient strength were also exposed.

He naturally didn't know the caution of Meng Xiang's soldiers, but he also guessed the moisture in the 120,000 landing army.

The 120,000-strong army was formed with the training and core support of the clone soldiers as the main force of the Chinese youth in Nanyang.

In Japanese-occupied areas, it was difficult to maintain and train an army.

Moreover, the situation of the Chinese in Nanyang is special, and there are more elements of self-protection in the hands of some big families. There are also some who have the heart of the Central Party, Britain and the United States, and even those who have the idea of loyalty to the puppet Qing Dynasty.

If it weren't for the vanguard army driving out the little devils in recent years, and the brilliant achievements of the northern attack on Lao Maozi condensed the Chinese in Nanyang, I am afraid that the power of the Chinese in Nanyang would have been more dispersed.

Under all kinds of unfavorable circumstances, even if the Chinese armed forces in Nanyang have rapidly expanded to as many as 150,000, only more than 40,000 of them can reach the level of qualified soldiers in Meng Xiang's mind, and most of the others belong to the level of recruits and militia. If it weren't for the fact that over the years, the total number of troops sent by Meng Xiang was 70,000 or 80,000, and he would not have dared to launch a landing operation with a very high mortality rate.

Even with nearly 120,000 available soldiers in his hands, Meng Xiang did not dare to take them all out and swallow the important areas in the southern part of the Indochina Peninsula.

Singapore and other well-defended places, if the Japanese reacted and attacked strongly, the 120,000 troops would not be enough to lose.

Moreover, Meng Xiang also had to consider the issue of protecting the Chinese.

Although China and Japan have already declared war, but because the attack of the Chinese army has been restrained, there is no big action, and the Nanyang Chinese also meekly let the Japanese cut wool, the taxes and fees that should be paid are not a lot at all, coupled with the deterrence of Huaxia, as well as the constraints of the cottage umbrella company, so that the Japanese have not attacked the Chinese on a large scale.

Even if the Japanese look at the wealth accumulated by the big Chinese families for hundreds of years, it is only a lot of small actions in private.

These small actions caused some Chinese families who did not heed the advice of the vanguard army to unite and protect themselves to be ruined, although because of the restrictions of China, no family was ruined, but the family also suffered a lot of damage and began to decline. This also made the Chinese realize the role of unity, and gradually moved closer to the vanguard army, which was gradually organized and pinched together by Meng Xiang, and adopted a joint armed force to protect itself when the Chinese army was not suitable for intervention.

This is also an aspect of the Japanese scruples, relying on small actions to deal with the Nanyang Chinese armed self-protection alliance.

And if it is a big move, it will inevitably attract the interference of Huaxia and other forces.

However, the current surprise attack in China, the large-scale military operations launched in North Korea, Taiwan, and the Indochina Peninsula have touched the bottom line of the Japanese, and even more so, Japan has just conquered Australia, and its self-confidence is once again extremely inflated, which will inevitably lead to a large-scale life-and-death decisive battle between China and the Japanese.

At this time, the Japanese will naturally no longer be polite to the Chinese. The confiscation of Chinese property was light and could even lead to a massacre against the Chinese.

Meng Xiang would never let this kind of massacre happen under his nose.

Even though many of the families in the South Seas had private armed forces, these could not stop the cruelty of the Japanese at all. Meng Xiang had no choice but to transfer half of Nanyang's strength to self-protection against the Chinese.

Fortunately, the Chinese have a sense of crisis for hundreds of years, and they have certain self-protection measures, with the help of those defensive buildings and the geographical advantages after the combination, in the face of the Japanese rear defense army, which is not an elite rear, it can still support it, which allows Meng Xiang to put together a landing army of 120,000.

This is already the maximum number of troops he can deploy, and he can only find those weakly defended areas to raid.

Even so, he still relied on the seventy or eighty thousand elites arranged by the southward over the years, the sophisticated heavy weapons provided by Sumatra, and the internal response of the local Chinese, and chose several important positions in one go.

The Japanese also knew the importance of these places, but even if Yamashita saw that this Chinese landing force was not strong, he did not dare to send a large army back.

When the Chinese army landed in the south, the Chinese army on all fronts in the northern part of the Indochina Peninsula once again concentrated its strength and pressed it with a more fierce attack, not giving the Japanese army on the northern defense line a chance to send troops south to support.

At this time, Yamashita Fengwen was eager to come with more reinforcements to block the impact of the Chinese army.

It was precisely the fierce onslaught of the 1.5 million Chinese army in the northern region that made those areas where the Japanese had concentrated their troops unable to draw more troops to liquidate the local Chinese.

This also allowed a large number of Chinese to escape.

But the greed and ferocious revenge of the Japanese have also been carried out in various parts of the South Seas.
