With the attack of the Chinese army, a torrent of green camouflage composed of 300,000 receiving troops swept across the entire border line, knocking on the various fronts built by the Japanese with barrages.

500,000 Chinese vanguard troops carried more than 3,000 steel armored tanks to complete the final blow that broke the Japanese defense line.

Although the focus of Japan's defense in Southeast Asia is the border of China, there are only about 300,000 people. Although the terrain on the border line was difficult to form a large army, the Japanese who were blocking there faced the onslaught of steel tanks.

The information that the base could produce red Huaxia weapons came too late, and Meng Xiang only had time to produce all kinds of light weapons that were more suitable for jungle warfare.

The tank armor still uses cheap weapons such as the M5 in World War II.

The performance of the M5 light tank is not the best among the World War II tanks that Meng Xiang has tested for a long time in Southeast Asia, but it has been tested by history.

Although the Germans' tanks No. 3 and No. 4 were tested by the tropical deserts of North Africa, deserts were, after all, deserts, not jungles. And the tanks with diesel engines of the Soviets, noise alone became the biggest problem. On the contrary, tall figures such as the M5 are covered by dense vegetation and are not the biggest threat.

The performance of the Americans in the Pacific Ocean at least proved the merits of its reliability, the M5 is also an upgraded version of the M3 Stuart Tank, the power and flexibility of the entire family, as well as the defense capabilities, are greatly increased, at least against the Japanese Peeding tank is still an overwhelming advantage. Moreover, the Japanese were armed with very few armored vehicles in the south, and their task was primarily to deal with infantry.

At this time, even the M4 Sherman medium tanks, which could only deal with the fortifications of the fortress, were a bit redundant, but the more agile armored vehicles became the protagonists.

In addition to those multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles that were redeployed to the south and became the main force of light mechanized units, even when motorized units and mountain troops were fighting, they were massively equipped with jeeps equipped with M2 or MG-42 machine guns.

At this time, the Japanese could only realize that they needed to fight against all kinds of steel monsters.

Except for meat bullets, their 38 big covers are not of much use. Even meat bullets must be lucky not to be torn to pieces by the rain of bullets.

The Japanese army simply could not stop this team armed with steel, and in addition to those positions that were cleared by the rain of bullets from behind, there were many more defensive positions that were smashed by such steel teams.

Under the torrent of steel, the Japanese army was defeated like a mountain.

By noon on the 20th, more than half of the border front between Southeast Asia and China's existing land had been lost.

Other positions were also cut and isolated, and messages calling for help drifted like snowflakes to the headquarters of the Japanese Southern Army.

"It's not wise to compare firepower with the vanguard!" Shouichi Terauchi sighed.

Because some people in China accuse Terauchi Shouichi of sitting back and watching the rise of the vanguard army when he controlled North China, he bears an unshirkable responsibility. This delayed the time for Shouichi Terauchi to recover again for a long time.

It wasn't until the Southern Army made rapid progress and expanded too quickly, coupled with the tension in the balance of interests of all parties, that he came back to replace the royal family and took over this troublesome matter. After all, many things are not suitable for the Japanese royal family to come forward in person, and the aristocratic lord Terauchi Shouichi has a strong network of suppression.

As for his defeat in front of the vanguard, it has been ignored by everyone.

At this time, among the Japanese generals, there were not many who did not learn the lessons of the vanguard army. With the tension of the war in the south, the revival of a large number of Japanese officers who had lost in China was a clear signal. After the Northeast was recovered by China, Terauchi Shouichi miraculously returned to his original position in history and sat on the throne of the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army.

It's a pity that not long after he sat in this position, the vanguard army waved south.

"Is this my fate?" Shouichi Terauchi was a little depressed.

"We can't entangle too much with them at the border, we'd better retreat to the dangerous checkpoints in various places and wait for help!" The chief of the general staff of the Southern Army, Shimizu Rule, saw that Terauchi Shouichi was silent, and said anxiously.

The Japanese don't have a good way either.

As Shouichi Terauchi said, it is simply not possible to block the attack of the Chinese army.

This is a gap in strength, and the gap can only be made up by other external factors such as the right time and place.

Many dangerous places on the border were caught off guard by the surprise attacks from behind, but there were many dangerous places like jungle areas, and the Japanese who had heightened their vigilance would not easily relax their defenses behind them.

Although the borders are abandoned, new lines of defense can be built everywhere.

"They have the advantage of air and the advantage of artillery fire, and it is difficult to block their attacks in those dangerous levels!" Shouichi Terauchi shook his head slightly.

He had already understood the battle report ahead.

There are also many dangerous checkpoints in the defense line of the border.

The vanguard army has extraordinary local Chinese guides, and the vanguard army began to prepare detailed geographical environment information three years ago, some places are more familiar than the Japanese, often from the Japanese defense is weak or unexpected, directly with rapid firepower to break through.

Even if it is difficult to break through in some places, there will be air fire support, or artillery fire from behind.

Although the terrain in Southeast Asia is complex and the roads are difficult to navigate, the artillery fire of the vanguard army in the border area is still sharp and still has the momentum of using artillery shells to smash all obstacles.

And since the Japanese conquered Southeast Asia, they simply did not have much time to arrange strong fortresses, and simple fortifications could not defend against heavy artillery bombardment.

The war in South Asia and Australia also caused the air defense forces to be concentrated on the front line, either to the puppet Manchurians, North Korea, or even the mainland, which made the Japanese already fragile air defense forces more dispersed, and even less concentrated in Southeast Asia, which could not resist the overwhelming air firepower of the vanguard army. Even after a small number of anti-aircraft weapons were destroyed, we watched the paratroopers of the vanguard army directly parachute into some dangerous fortresses under the cover of air fire.

"Mere fortress defense can't stop them!" Shouichi Terauchi continued to repeat, "Besides, there are too many of them. Even if one or two levels are not lost, they can use part of their forces to restrain or even encircle and block, and the other main forces bypass and continue to attack forward! ”

"However, the number of them is their advantage and their disadvantage!" Shouichi Terauchi finally came to his senses and said slowly, "The jungle seems to be rich in products, but the materials that can actually be borne are limited. Some places don't just have a lot of people. The more people, the more it will be consumed. Fighting in the jungle is not possible without strong logistics! In particular, the attrition of the vanguard army will increase the pressure on logistics. ”

Shouichi Terauchi straightened his waist and said in a low voice: "Even if we lose the checkpoint, hide in the jungle, and attack their logistics troops. Just cutting off their logistical supplies can paralyze their armies. ”

As he spoke, Terauchi Shouichi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he walked quickly to the map and said again, "What about letting them in?" The jungle can hide millions of soldiers, jam their supply lines, and fight them with bayonets in the jungle! ”

……

The Japanese base camp accepted Terauchi Shouichi's proposal to let the Chinese army go deep and lengthen the supply lines of the Chinese army.

When Japan invaded Southeast Asia, it had to worry about logistics, but fortunately, thanks to the transportation and supply of the navy, it was able to go so smoothly.

And now the Japanese fleet is still holding the South China Sea, relying on land transportation, how much can it afford?

The complex and changeable jungle can eliminate part of the advantage of artillery fire, so that the two sides can close the gap.

This was also one of the preparatory plans that the Japanese had considered in advance to restrain the southward attack of the Chinese, and it had already been prepared to a certain extent, and it was quickly implemented with the proposal of Terauchi Shouichi.

"Let them in, let them come and go!" The Japanese were suppressed by the fire of the vanguard army, and they breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to get it back. The implementation of this plan gave them hope of defeating the vanguard army.

Under the deployment of this strategy, the Japanese quickly adjusted, and the large army began to retreat and disperse.

This also made the pressure on the Chinese army suddenly lighten after a surprise attack broke through a series of defensive lines on the border.

……

"Something is wrong!" Bai Chongxi frowned and muttered to himself.

In this attack, Bai Chongxi was not just the chief of staff of the southbound expeditionary force. Just as Sun Liren, in addition to the post of deputy commander of the expeditionary force, also commanded the offensive of Burma all the way, Bai Chongxi also took on the task of attacking Vietnam from Guangxi.

Both armies in Vietnam were under his personal command.

The advantage of the Japanese being familiar with the border environment was wiped out in front of the Gui army.

The Gui army, which had already changed its guns, became the arrows of the attack, and it passed all the way, and in more than a week, it attacked the vicinity of Yong'an and Beijiang.

"It's been a little too smooth. Liangshan is too easy to capture, right? Bai Chongxi doubted,

Since ancient times, the capture of Liang Son has meant the loss of natural danger in northern Vietnam and the danger of Hanoi. But in a week's time, they penetrated Liangshan and quickly attacked near Hanoi, and the Japanese seemed to be undefended. Even if the Huaxia army has rapid firepower, it won't come to this point, right?

"It's not like the Japanese are fighting hard! Is it tempting the enemy? Bai Chongxi immediately called the General Headquarters.

"Bai Jiansheng has already seen that the Japanese are in the cloth pocket formation!" Meng Xiangxiao, who had already received the news from the spy, said to Fan Chong, "It's a pity that the Japanese miscalculated this time. We still have a million troops behind us, can't we hold the passage? Besides, we have already prepared material reserves! ”

Meng Xiang, who had been prepared for a long time, didn't care much about this, and his mind skipped the two sub-bases in the Indochina Peninsula and focused on the recent fluctuations in international exchanges.
