On October 12, 1942, the Battle of the Amur Peninsula, which lasted for more than two months, finally came to an end. In this battle called the "Eastern Meat Grinder", Japan and the Soviet Union invested a total of nearly one million troops and a large number of aircraft, cannons, tanks, and ships. During the battle, the Japanese ground troops once advanced to a position only 17 kilometers away from the port of Vladivostok, and no matter how crazy they attacked, they could not move forward. By the end of September, the main Soviet forces, who had completed the assembly of troops and material preparation, launched an offensive from the Mudanjiang front line. In just six days, approaching Hunchun, directly threatening the land supply line of the Japanese Northern Line troops. During this period, the Japanese Navy was unable to break through the defense of the Soviet troops in Amur Bay and Ussuri Bay. In order to avoid being surrounded, the Japanese Northern Line troops began to retreat on October 6 and completely withdrew from the Amur Peninsula on the 9th.

In this battle, which was no less tragic than the major battles of the Russo-Japanese War, the number of losses announced by the Japanese army was 37,329 casualties, 3,619 missing, and 115,433 injured. The number of losses announced by the Soviet army was 43,299 casualties, 7,905 missing, and 12,617 injured. The number of personnel reductions between the two sides was not much different. However, according to the estimates of European and American military observers, the number of losses of the Japanese army should be 220,000-270,000, and the number of losses of the Soviet Union was about 300,000. Overall, the Japanese army relied on the powerful navy to gain local initiative and cooperated with

The joint operations of the navy, army and air force caused great damage to the Soviet defenders, but the Japanese army also lost more weapons and equipment. The Soviet Union announced that it would shoot down 1,317 Japanese fighter jets, captured 935 Japanese pilots, destroyed and captured 2,265 Japanese fighter chariots, 47 Japanese surface ships, 14 submarines, 487 Japanese crew members and 177 crew members. The Japanese army only shot down 971 Soviet fighter jets, captured 79 pilots, destroyed and captured 1,176 Soviet fighter chariots, sunk Soviet surface ships, 17 submarines, and captured 434 Soviet crew members.

By late October, the Soviet army not only cleared the Japanese army in the Russian Far East north and re-occupied the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, but also captured Changchun, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo, known as "imperfect" with the help of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, forcing the puppet Manchukuo government to move its capital to Shenyang in a panic, which severely damaged the morale of the puppet Manchukuo army and greatly encouraged the confidence of the anti-Japanese military and civilians in the three eastern provinces. However, the Soviet army was restricted by the long supply line and it was difficult for the Soviet army to further expand the results. The Japanese army also fell into a situation of weakness after consuming huge amounts of ammunition and drug resources. The two sides temporarily formed a confrontation on the new front.

On the Soviet side, although the military aid level of European and American countries has been greatly reduced compared with the previous period, the military and civilians are generally united and have no worries, while the Japanese side is not so comfortable. After the autumn, the possibility of large-scale military conflicts broke out in South Asia, which is more than 6,000 kilometers away from the battlefield in Northeast Asia continued to increase. In mid-October, just as the Japanese army was fighting with the Soviet army, the Federal Republic of India, cultivated by Western allies, suddenly attacked the Hindustan State under Japan's control in an undeclared war. After more than 600,000 troops crossed the 77th North latitude line like a rolling flood, the head of the Federal Republic of India issued a declaration of unification, vowing to place the Hindustans into an independent, complete, free and national state, and announced support for the reasonable independence and autonomy of all ethnic groups in the South Asian subcontinent, and encouraged them to get rid of Japan's colonial rule through armed struggle.

More than 600,000 Indian Federal Army not only has the spirit of reunifying India, but also has quite good weapons and equipment. Although the Mauser 1898 series is an out of the German Army, its combat performance, especially reliability, can fully meet the needs of the Indian Federal Army. Although the old Krupp artillery has shortcomings such as short range and slow firing speed, it is more than enough to deal with Japanese second-line troops. As for the Folk-xi and Folk G-51, "Teutonic Knights" and "heavy cavalry", these are all German weapons that shine during World War II.

As the Japanese-Soviet War constrained the Japanese army's main force in the distant Northeast Asia, the Indian Federation Army defeated the border troops of Hindustan and the few Japanese troops. In just half a month, it occupied hundreds of towns and countless villages on hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, and liberated more than 40 million people from Japan's colonial rule.

If the Indian Federation Army can maintain this rapid progressive trend, it will not take too long to reunify India. However, the top Japanese leaders obviously would not give up the South Asian colonies with rich natural resources and a large working population. They quickly formed the South Asian Front and appointed the Japanese general Yamashita Fengmo, who had made great achievements in South Asia and Australia, as the commander of the Front, and drew elite combat troops from all over Southeast Asia and the local area to transport them to India. On the last day of October, the four and a half divisions of the Indian Federation Army and the 31st Division of the Japanese Army launched fierce battles near the harbor city of Chiang Mai. The Japanese troops supported by the naval aviation not only firmly defended their positions, but also fought back continuously at night, defeating the three times their own Indian Federation Army.

Immediately afterwards, the 33rd Japanese Division, originally stationed in Malay, landed in Nellor north of Chennai. The 20th Division, which had previously stationed in the East Indies, arrived at Kakinada 400 kilometers away from Nellor by boat. The troops of the 18th Division, which had returned from the Northeast Asian battlefield in the early stage, also arrived in eastern India one after another. Although these Japanese field troops with rich combat experience were facing difficulties such as inconsolidation of troops and poor supply, they once again showed the powerful combat power of the Tiger and Wolf Division. By late October, the offensive of the Indian Federal Army had been curbed in Andra, Telengana in southeast India and the Chhattisgarh region in central and eastern India. Moreover, with more and more Japanese troops reaching India, the Indian Federal Army began to actively shrink its front line and prepare to rely on several stronghold cities far away from the coast for defense. At the same time, the power of guerrillas in various places was constantly restrained and consumed their opponents.

Although the Western Allies led by Germany was behind the unification war by the Indian federal army, the highest decision-makers did not believe that the Hindustans had the ability to completely expel Japanese troops, but instead used this battlefield to trap Japan in two-line battles and further disperse their military power.

By early November, although the Japanese dispatched troops stationed in Australia did not reduce their troops, more than 400 fighter jets were drawn to India in the three air fleets that were originally assigned to them, and the naval ships deployed around Australia were also reduced by half. Seeing that the time was basically ripe, the Navy of the Allied Powers launched a military operation code-named "Generator". The goal of this operation was to transport 45,000 Australian soldiers, 9,000 international volunteers and 300,000 tons of combat supplies to the southern coast of Australia in a week.

Since the Western Allies were not directly involved in the war, the biggest difficulty of the "generator" operation was how to avoid blockade and blockade by the Japanese Navy and Air Force and escort more than 300 transport ships to safely dock. After the operation began, the Allied Fleet Command quickly assigned some of the ships of the 4th and 5th Fleets to enter the Indian Ocean, and the transport ships participating in the operation sailed out from East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and southwestern India respectively. They were organized into four transport ships in the Maldives' waters in the pre-set order, and were escorted to the four aircraft carrier formations of the Allied Navy.

Australia. After leaving the departure point, all transport ships need to sail 2,700-3,200 nautical miles. In order to avoid Japanese aircraft and ships, there is a lot of additional ranges. This means that Australian soldiers and international volunteers have to wander at sea for at least half a month, and there is almost no time to rest after landing. They cannot expect thousands of guerrillas to rely on limited weapons to block the Japanese army outside the landing area for a long time. If the guerrillas' blocking war is not good, they may even fight with the Japanese army as soon as they get ashore...

On November 21, the No. 1 fleet that participated in the "Generator" operation stubbornly overcame a series of difficulties such as weather, sea conditions, and supply. A small Japanese patrol fleet became the biggest obstacle for it to enter the Australian territorial waters. Fearing the powerful force of the Allied fleet, the Japanese patrol ships did not dare to forcibly go forward to investigate, but took the initiative to fight to the death near the territorial waters. At this point, the Allied fleet ordered the three destroyers belonging to the Indian Federal Army to raise the naval battle flags, and then stepped forward without hesitation to crush the Japanese patrol fleet into powder.

After armed fully equipped Australian soldiers and international volunteers composed entirely of white people, except for the three ships belonging to the Indian Federation Army continued to hover in the near-shore waters, while all the ships of the Allied Powers left the Australian territorial waters. In the early morning of the 22nd, the Japanese Navy dispatched seven light ships from the naval base in Western Australia. The fierce Japanese ignored the carrier-based aircraft and large ships of the Allied Powers that were moving nearby and rushed straight to the transport ships that were still unloading supplies. Although the three destroyers belonging to the Indian Federation Army were newer, their design level and technical content had no advantage over Japanese ships, and they could not stop them alone.
