Shinji Hata, who is over 60 years old this year, is short. However, he has a rich experience. He graduated from the Japanese Army's Non-commissioned Officer School and the Army University in his early years. After 1933, he served as the commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, the head of the Japanese aviation headquarters, the commander of the Japanese Taiwan Army, and the director of education. In 1938, he was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in Shanghai, and the commander of the central and Chinese Japanese army. He once commanded the Japanese army invading Wuhan. In 1939, he served as the Minister of the Cabinet Army. He came to China again in 1941 and served as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army invading China, responsible for the comprehensive command of the war invading China.

In the Japanese Army, General Hata Shin-Ruo is definitely a powerful person. With his achievements, even if he is promoted to marshal, it is enough. It can be said that the old Japanese man's hands are covered with the blood of the Chinese. However, now he is appointed as the commander of the Southern Army, and it is probably a bit difficult for him to rely on him to save the turbulent Southern Army. This may cause him to lose all his reputation.

The current Southern Army is already at a completely disadvantage under the suppression of the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts. After the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts launches the next attack and captures the Indochina colony and the Malay Peninsula, they will be able to invade them into a doomed land.

"Oh, has the Great Japanese Empire really reached a point where it declined from victory? I hope my old bone can stabilize the Southern Army. No matter what, Nanyang must be defended. Without Nanyang, there is no way to continue this battle." After receiving the appointment, Hata Shunroku sighed.

After General Hata Shin-Ruo became the commander of the Southern Army, he did not stay in Tokyo for more than one year. Instead, he immediately took a plane to Lion City, preparing to take over the Southern Army and command the battle against Japan and the US military.

On March 27, 1943, General Shinji Hataki officially arrived at Lion Castle. All the front armies under the Southern Army and the commanders of each army arrived at Lion Castle. General Shinji Naruto resigned and General Shinji Hataki took over, which means that a new era for the Southern Army has arrived.

These commanders, including the reorganized commander of the Burmese Front, Lieutenant General Kimura Hotaro, Commander of the 7th Front, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, Commander of the 14th Front, Lieutenant General Tanaka Shizuki, Commander of the 18th Army, Commander of the 37th Army, Commander of the 3rd Army, Commander of the 3rd Army, Lieutenant General Toshita, Commander of the 3rd Air Force. In addition to the 18th Front, 2nd Army and 38th Army, all the front and commanders of the Southern Army arrived.

The Chief of Staff of the Southern Army was also replaced, with Lieutenant General Kiyomizu Ruo, and Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan still served as Deputy Chief of Staff. This is mainly the reason for the failure of the Siam Battle. If the Siam Battle was won, he might have been transferred from Deputy Chief of Staff to Chief of Staff.

In the conference room of the Southern Army Command, General Hata Shunji sat in the main seat with a cold face. The commanders of these fronts and army sat on both sides according to their qualifications. Lieutenant General Shimizu and Lieutenant General Takahashi were sitting at the end.

"Your Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister, appoint me as the commander of the Southern Army. Then, I must do my best to lead the Southern Army through the predicament that appeared, defeat the Chinese people, and reverse the situation in Southeast Asia. However, this is impossible for me alone. Therefore, I hope you can help me, everyone unite and work together to defeat the Chinese people!" General Hata Shunji said in a deep voice.

"Hi, Commander." All the Japanese generals replied.

However, the most serious problem facing the Southern Army is undoubtedly insufficient troops. Although they have three fronts and three armies. However, the forces of each front and army are different. For example, the 14th Front Army with the largest number of troops, as many as 12 infantry divisions, 1 chariot division, 1 flight division, four independent mixed brigades and multiple other troops. The total force reached 250,000. The 37th Army with the least number of troops had only two independent mixed brigades, more than 10,000. However, even if these troops were all combined, the total force was only more than 600,000. So many troops seemed to be quite large. But it was only equivalent to the anti-Japanese rescue.

Moreover, the 14th Front of these troops is defending the Philippines and cannot be transferred. The 18th Army is fighting with the US military in Guinea, but it cannot be transferred. Therefore, there are very few troops that can be used to deal with the anti-Japanese and rescue **. It is almost impossible for these troops to defeat the anti-Japanese and rescue **. This has been proven by facts. The strength of the anti-Japanese and rescue ** is not a prank, but it was fought through bloody battles.

"The base camp has decided to send more troops to us. These troops will be elite troops drawn from the local area, not new recruits. Therefore, we need to stay in Nanyang for more time. At that time, we will have enough strength to counterattack the Chinese and defeat them in one fell swoop." General Hata Shunrok said.

After hearing General Shin-six Hata, the generals finally breathed a sigh of relief. The combat effectiveness of the anti-Japanese rescue was too strong, which brought great pressure to each of them. With the current strength of the Southern Army, it would be quite difficult to defeat the anti-Japanese rescue. If they could get more reinforcements, they might be able to win.

There are still many troops in Japan*Ben. Of course, most of them are newly formed troops. But there are still some elite troops, such as the 11th Division, the 25th Division, the 57th Division, the 77th Division, etc.

As the Japanese army performed unfavorably on all battlefields, the Japanese base camp was worried that they would lose. They began to actively mobilize more troops so that they could still defend their homeland after failing on overseas battlefields.

"Kun Kimura, Doihara, based on the information we have obtained, the next target of the Chinese attack is most likely to be the Indochina colony and the Malay Peninsula. Therefore, your task is very difficult. You need to defend your position, resist the Chinese attack, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements." General Hata Shunji ordered.

"Hi, Commander." Lieutenant General Kimura Hoita and Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara nodded immediately.

"From now on, the entire Southern Army has adopted a comprehensive defense battle. In the defense, it consumes the living power of the Chinese people. After our reinforcements arrive and accumulate enough power, we will launch a counterattack, defeat the Chinese people in one fell swoop, completely eliminate them, and win the victory of the Nanyang battle." General Hata Shunji said in a deep voice.

"Hi, Commander." All the Japanese generals replied. Mobile phone users please browse m to read for a better reading experience.
