Lion Castle, the Japanese Southern Army Command. General Shinji Hata Shinji replaced General Shinji Deanuchi and became the commander of the Southern Army. The situation of the Southern Army gradually stabilized. In particular, General Shinji Hata Shinji promised that a group of new reinforcements would soon set off from the country and head to the South China Sea, which made the generals of the Southern Army full of confidence in the war ahead.

"Your Excellency Commander, this is a combat plan submitted by Lieutenant General Kimura Hitaro, Commander of the Myanmar Front." Lieutenant General Kiyomizu Ruo, the new chief of staff of the Southern Army, submitted a combat plan to General Hata Shunroku.

General Shin-Ruo Hata nodded and took over the combat plan.

It took half an hour for General Hata Shunji to finish reading this combat plan. After reading it, his brows were already tightly frowning.

To be honest, General Hata Shunji was still very satisfied with this combat plan. At least the Burmese Front Army had thought about how to deal with the anti-Japanese and rescue efforts. At a disadvantage, it was already very good that the Burmese Front Army could think of such a plan.

However, General Shin-Ruo Hata is also skeptical of actively abandoning a large area of ​​territory west of the Mekong River.

"Qingmizu-kun, you have already seen the combat plan submitted by the Myanmar Front, right?" asked General Hata Shunji.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Shimizu nodded.

"So, what do you think of this combat plan?" General Shin-roku Hata continued.

"The commander, the combat plan submitted by the Myanmar Front is generally very good. At least, they can rely on the Mekong River's natural chasm to resist the attack of the Chinese people. Although the Chinese people have strong firepower and many troops, it is not so easy to break through the Mekong River defense line that the Myanmar Front strictly guards. If the Chinese people forcefully launch an attack, the Mekong River will become their nightmare. At that time, their bodies will float on the entire Mekong River." Lieutenant General Qingshui Rules said.

Shinji Hata nodded, but said nothing.

"Kimura and his team have two shortcomings. One is that after gathering the army, they will give up the occupation of other areas of Indochina. The guerrillas in Indochina will definitely take the opportunity to capture those territories, and they will develop very strongly. The other is that if they give up a large area of ​​territory west of the Mekong River without any effort, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the troops. In addition, this will cause us to suffer huge losses." The Shimizu Rule General expressed his opinions.

General Shin-Ruo Hata nodded: "There is no way to gather the troops of the Burmese Front and fight against the Chinese. Who made the Chinese too powerful? However, it would be inappropriate to give up a large area of ​​territory west of the Mekong River. At least you must not give up those territories like this without a single shot. Otherwise, those guys in China would definitely make a big fuss."

General Hata Shunji took over as commander of the Southern Army this time, and was ordered to be in danger. Japan and China are also very concerned about the situation in South China. If General Hata Shunji could lead the Japanese army to defeat the anti-Japanese and rescue **, then he would become a hero who turned the tide and promoted to marshal, which would be a natural thing. But the same is, if he did not lead the Southern Army to defeat the anti-Japanese and rescue **, but instead suffered a battle, the consequences would probably be very serious. At that time, not only will the situation in South China in Japan and China undergo major changes, but his personal future will even be greatly affected. The rank of marshal will not be even more thoughtful.

"Your Excellency Commander, what should we do?" asked Lieutenant General Shimizu Rules.

"This way, I agree with their combat plan in principle. However, the Myanmar Front must fight a large-scale battle west of the Mekong River. Then, retreat to east of the Mekong River. If we can win, it will be the best. Then we can defeat the Chinese people directly. If we defeat it, it doesn't matter. We can use the Mekong defense line to continue to resist the Chinese people's attack. I will urge domestic reinforcements to go to the Indochina colony as soon as possible." General Hata Shunrou said.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Shimizu nodded.

In his opinion, it is nothing to let the Myanmar Front fight against the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Army west of the Mekong River to fight a large-scale battle with the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Army. Even if the Myanmar Front is not the opponent of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Army, it is always no problem to retreat immediately once the situation is unfavorable. Even if it will pay a certain amount of losses, it is obviously no problem to protect the main force of the army. At that time, it can still use the Mekong defense line to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Army. At the same time, it is also an explanation for the country. After all, the Myanmar Front did not take the initiative to give up the territory west of the Mekong River, but retreated because the situation was unfavorable and to avoid greater losses. Everything is to defeat the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Army in the future.

"After all, we must win in this battle. Otherwise, no matter how much we say, it will be of no use." General Hata Shunruo said.

The Lieutenant General Qingshui nodded and agreed with this very much.

"Send a telegram to Kimura, telling him that the Mekong defense line must be held up. And to consume the living power of the China people as much as possible. In this way, after the subsequent reinforcements arrive, we will be able to defeat them more easily." General Hata Shunrok said.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Shimizu Rules replied.

General Shinji Hata's decision was quickly sent to Lieutenant General Kimura Hoita by telegram.

Lieutenant General Kimura Hitaro immediately summoned the chief of staff and deputy chiefs of the Myanmar Front and a group of combat staff to discuss the combat plan. Lieutenant General Kimura Hitaro also expressed his understanding of the difficulties of General Hataro Hataro. After all, it is indeed inappropriate to give up the entire large area of ​​territory west of the Mekong River without taking a shot.

Finally, after discussion, the Myanmar Front decided to plan a large-scale battle with the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Nakhon after discussion. Once they lost in the battle, they would immediately retreat and retreat to the east bank of the Mekhon River. With the help of the Mekhon River defense line to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Nakhon.

Of course, in order to ensure that one's own strength does not suffer too much loss, Lieutenant General Kimura Hitaro decided to invest 70% of the main force in this battle at Tosari Lake. He did not seek to resist the fight against Japan and rescue the **, as long as one of the fight against Japan and rescue the ** can be annihilated, it would be a great victory.
