In February 43, the war was rekindled in Nanyang.

The most unexpected thing is the Japanese, and it is the Japanese who have been prepared for this for a long time.

In the past, the Japanese envoys kept running towards China, repeatedly trying to delay the war between the two countries, or at least until they swallowed the whole of Australia.

Even if it didn't work, they were prepared.

The Japanese army in Indochina was not completely unprepared, including those indigenous puppet troops, who were diligent in their duties during the Spring Festival and did not dare to relax.

Even in order to cope with the bombardment of China, one was to develop underground fortifications underground, and the other was to stretch the front line backwards, using the complex jungle terrain to delay the possible attack of China.

Since the indiscriminate artillery of the Chinese artillery was launched, the Japanese fortifications on the front line have been destroyed one after another. At first, they continued to rush to repair, but in the Chinese artillery, again there were many holes. The Japanese, who had only learned to be obedient in nearly two months, had just learned to build intricate underground fortresses by digging deep holes to avoid artillery fire, and the front line, which had little ground defense, was torn apart by the Chinese National Defense Forces.

The Chinese army swept through the fragile ground defense line of the Japanese at once, exposing the Japanese burrows that had not yet learned camouflage to the rear of the clearing troops, and the Spitfire tanks composed of groups of M4 and British crocodiles surrounded every mouse hole dug by the Japanese, constantly breathing fire and blowing smoke.

This time, the 1 million Chinese army attacked, the front attack army was 400,000, and the remaining 600,000 troops were responsible for clearing and Jing'an.

It is difficult to attack in jungle warfare, and it is even more difficult to clear and suppress Jing'an.

So many examples in later generations have made Meng Xiang vigilant, and he strives to clean up the battlefield more thoroughly.

Thicker columns of smoke rose from the front line to clear the rat holes, and apart from the cries of the Japanese firemen crawling out of the holes, the guns of the troops in the front and the roar of the tanks were getting farther and farther away.

The Chinese army had already pounced on the Japanese and laid out layers of rear positions.

The Japanese took advantage of the jungle terrain well, but the complex terrain also overwhelmed their relatively small manpower.

Many of the elites of the Japanese army have been lost in China, and of the 600,000 troops deployed in the Indochina Peninsula, only more than half of the elites are scattered. was transferred to Australia for 200,000 elite veterans. The remaining 150,000 were already less than 150,000, the other 250,000 Japanese troops were weak in combat effectiveness, and the new 100,000 recruits did not even adapt to the environment.

Because of the frenzied plundering of wealth and massacres by the Japanese some time ago. The revolt provoked needs to be suppressed, and there is no shortage of people. The 500,000 Japanese troops were to be distributed throughout the Indochina Peninsula, and more than half of the troops were stationed in Burma, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaya and other places. There were only 90,000 elite Japanese troops, less than 300,000 Japanese troops, and 200,000 puppet troops recruited from various countries to make up the number, forming a number of defense lines on the border with China.

Maybe when the recruits of the Japanese army grew up after slaughtering some natives and seeing blood, maybe these fronts would be more stable, but they didn't expect the Chinese army to come so quickly and attack so fiercely.

When the Huaxia army came to the front with multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles and M24 Xiafei light tanks, those indigenous puppet armies were the first to be defeated.

After the occupation of Nanyang, the Japanese did not dare to help the Chinese, but hoped to arm the natives. Prepare to deal with the Chinese together, and even use them as cannon fodder to deal with the Chinese army later.

It's a pity that these natives can't afford Adou, under the persecution of the Japanese, this group of natives can pick up a gun is good, go to the battlefield, when they shoot indiscriminately and can't stop the impact of those steel monsters, they play the natives' familiarity with the geographical environment, and take the lead in escaping. The Japanese soldiers who were left alone to accompany them stared at the Chinese armored forces and crushed them.

Later, the experience of the United States in Vietnam made some people think that jungle warfare is not suitable for tank warfare, but it is only a little sideways. They probably did not notice the strangulation of the Vietnamese by the Americans with armored forces on various roads.

It may be difficult for armored units to cope with all kinds of complex situations in the jungle, but in and around the main road, tank units are still the sharpest knives.

Even if the paths are difficult to walk, as long as the ox carts can pass, the tracked armored troops can follow the ox cart roads and envelop a large net to the entire Japanese position to strangle, mixed with the rout of the indigenous puppet army to form a trend, cutting the rest of the Japanese defense line into fragments.

"Shoot, kill all those who charge into formation!" Yamashita Fengwen Tie, who served as the commander of the Indochina Peninsula, gave such an order with a blushing face.

The indigenous puppet army was not just fleeing, the Chinese army that rushed forward often rushed to their side. Carrying them to the Japanese line. Moreover, the spies of Huaxia also mixed in with these indigenous puppet armies, instigating this group of headless flies to storm the Japanese positions.

In view of the appearance of the local natives, there is no need to clone spies, only some ordinary clone soldiers or ordinary people. Without the restriction on the number of cloned spies, during this period of time, the infiltration of Huaxia was enough to drive these indigenous armies to set off a wave.

Japanese middle- and lower-ranking officers reacted quickly. Without the orders of his superiors, the order to shoot at them was given almost as soon as the indigenous puppet army was storming the position. The Japanese did not take the lives of these natives seriously.

The MG42 machine guns in the rear of Huaxia constantly drove the indigenous army to flee forward, and the leading role and agitation of the Huaxia spies became the only straw that many indigenous puppet troops could grasp.

So under the leadership of the Chinese spies, they angrily turned their guns and shot at the Japanese.

Even some of the indigenous puppet soldiers who had taken refuge in the Japanese positions opened fire on the Japanese under the leadership of the spies.

In fact, there is no need for everyone to fire, as long as there are spies who fire at the Japanese army, it will immediately attract the Japanese army's retaliatory shooting against all the natives, and the unwilling indigenous puppet army can only join this melee in order to protect themselves.

In the end, when the Chinese army rushed up, the melee between the two sides had not stopped.

However, after all, the indigenous puppet army was a rabble, and they either fled in all directions, or were basically wiped out by the Japanese.

The Japanese defense line was even more fragile due to this civil strife, and except for a few elite troops who could still hold on, it was impossible for most of the front to be saved by those second-rate divisions and recruits.

The Huaxia army attacked and advanced all the way, and in just one week, it broke through several lines of defense of the Japanese army and rushed to the hinterland of the Indochina Peninsula.

Originally, after the warning in China, the Japanese in Burma stopped at Mandalay. However, after that, the new Chinese coalition government and the British did not reach a friendly atmosphere in the negotiations on some issues in Tibet, Burma, Nepal, Sikkim and other places, which could not help but make Meng Xiang angry and withdrew the expeditionary force to Myitkyina.

The Japanese army, which received the hint, soon broke through Mandalay under the leadership of Takedaguchi Ryoya.

The British fled to India, and the Japanese held Mandela and confronted the Chinese army near Gamblu, because there were many Chinese near Wax, and the Baldwin mine, which produced non-ferrous metals, was also taken care of by the Chinese army.

This time Huaxia counterattacked in Burma, Sun Liren hit the vicinity of Mandalay in one breath and surrounded Mandalay.

In the direction of Thailand, Du Yuming, who had already thrown himself into the vanguard army, led a team to conquer Chiang Mai.

On the one hand of Laos, the three leading troops of the rat army have hit the vicinity of Vientiane.

And in Vietnam, since the last breakthrough of Liang Son, there is no danger to collect. This time, Bai Chongxi personally led the army, attacked all the way, and had already besieged Hanoi.

This series of attacks had already broken through the dangerous jungles on the border with China, and the rest were mostly checkpoints on the plains, and even if the Japanese reinforcements returned, it would be difficult to stop the Chinese from continuing to attack. Besides, with the passing of the Spring Festival holiday, more Chinese troops were put into the southern front. Originally, the 2 million troops guarding the south were already in place, and the troops drawn from all over the country were still rushing to the south one after another on special trains, joining the operation of clearing out the remnants of the enemy.

"Damn, the people of China are too deceitful!" Hirohito's angry shouting in the Imperial Palace of Japan made Hideki Tojo and others look at each other.

As soon as a series of good news came from Australia, bad news came from the Indochina Peninsula. Yamashita Fengwen, who had high hopes, could not stop the sweep of the Chinese army.

After injuring more than 100,000 people, an attempt to stop the Chinese army in the border area was thwarted, and Yamashita had to order his troops to shrink the fragmented defensive line.

This made Hirohito, who had just been happy for a while about the optimism of the Australian form, couldn't help but be annoyed.

"Are we going to fail again?" Konoe Fumiro frowned.

"We didn't fail!" Hideki Tojo squinted his eyes and said, "The war has just begun. We also have countless warriors scattered in the dense forests everywhere, and as long as the jade shatters, they will dedicate their lives to the empire until the last moment! ”

Although the Chinese army attacked at a fast pace, it cut through the Japanese defense. But after all, it is a jungle area, and the terrain is complicated, and many Japanese troops are in danger, and even a jungle can become their stronghold after retreating.

These are the reasons why Hideki Tojo is unwilling to fail, and even while commanding well, he may turn defeat into victory strategically, dragging the Chinese army in Indochina, and buying time for the defense of the mainland and the Korean Peninsula, as well as the offensive in Australia.

This is also the justification that Yamashita Fengwen sent when he retreated and contracted, and it was also his last resort.
