Jagged Germany

Chapter 1343: Large-scale increase in troops (ask for a monthly ticket)

  When he walked out of the General Staff Headquarters, General Hisao Nishio felt his back was wet with sweat. Although in front of General Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace, he seemed to be very confident. But only he himself knows how difficult it is to open up the situation in Nanyang.

  However, General Nishio Hiszo knew. Now he has no way out, he can only go one way to the dark. If he chooses to give up and back down now, then he probably has no future at all. If you fight hard and win, maybe everything will be different. Not reconciled to retiring from active service like this, General Hisao Nishio chose to fight with all his strength.

  Of course, this also means that in the next time, the Southern Army must launch a large-scale offensive. Only in this way will it be possible to open up the situation. As for how much loss will be paid in the battle, it is not something that General Nishio Hiszo is concerned about.

  General Nishio Hisao can also feel that General Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Gong is also a person who only cares about the result and not the process. No matter how many people die, as long as they can win in the end, they will be satisfied.

  After leaving the General Staff, General Hisao Nishio did not return to Manila immediately. Instead, he visited Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, Director of Army Aviation, and hoped that the Army Aviation would give them greater support in the upcoming operations.

   Lieutenant General Tojo Hideki naturally agreed to General Nishio Hiszo's request. He also wants to go to a higher position, which makes him have to get the support of more people. Especially the support of the important generals in the army is very necessary.

  Subsequently, General Hisao Nishio went to the Armament Department, where he received an order from General Prince Hanin Gong Zairen to dispatch a large number of anti-tank weapons from the Armament Department to Nanyang. General Nishio Hiszo knew that if he wanted to defeat the German army, he had to defeat the German army's powerful armored force. Otherwise, everything is empty talk.

   In addition, the training department is also a place where Admiral Nishio Hiszo needs to visit. The Lanyin front army has suffered such a large loss this time, and it will undoubtedly require a lot of soldiers and officers if it is to be rebuilt. If you don't deal with them well, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems.

   After finishing all this work, General Nishio Hisao returned to Manila on March 14.

   Lieutenant General Tsukada took a group of generals from the headquarters to greet him at the airport. Seeing General Hisao Nishio getting off the plane with a smile on his face, Lieutenant General Tsukada Ko and the others put their hearts that had been hanging in their stomachs back into their stomachs. If General Nishio Hiszo was dismissed, then they would probably be dismissed as well. The new commander must have his own confidants to arrange, and it is impossible to follow the old man.

   "Your Excellency, you have worked hard all the way!" Lieutenant General Tsukada went up to meet him.

   "Tukada-kun, is the situation in Nanyang still stable?" General Hisao Nishio was stable.

"Your Excellency, the situation is fairly stable. The main forces of the 35th Army and 41st Army have already landed in Borneo. The Germans did not launch an attack. But we did not launch an attack either, for fear of being ambushed by the Germans again. "Said Lieutenant General Tsukada Gong.

   After all, the attack power of the German armored forces was too powerful, and several main divisions of the Lanyin Front Army were easily defeated. This made the 14th Front Army a little worried, for fear that it would follow in the footsteps of the Lanyin Front Army.

  General Hisao Nishio nodded, without saying anything, got into the car and returned to his headquarters.

  Afterwards, General Hisao Nishio ignored the rest and immediately summoned Lieutenant General Masharu Honma, commander of the 14th Front Army.

   "Mr. Honma, in view of the current situation of the Lanyin Front Army, the battle situation in Borneo can only be maintained by the 14th Front Army." General Hisao Nishio said.

   Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma's expression was very serious, and he knew that this undoubtedly meant a lot of pressure. The disastrous defeat of the Lanyin Front Army shocked him greatly.

  Although, the 14th Front Army has more troops and stronger strength than the Lanyin Front Army. However, Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma also has no confidence in whether he can defeat the Germans in Borneo.

   However, Lieutenant General Masharu Honma also knew that when General Hisao Nishio spoke up, there was no possibility for him to back down.

   "Your Excellency, Commander, I will do my best in this humble position!" Lieutenant General Masharu Honma said.

"The 24th Brigade and the 72nd Brigade of the Lanyin Front Army will be temporarily strengthened for you. The other troops will be withdrawn to the Philippine Islands to rest. They will obviously not be able to go to the battlefield for a while. Therefore, the next step is up to you. After you land on Borneo, you can take a temporary defensive position. The 7th Front Army and the 18th Front Army will send reinforcements to Borneo in the shortest possible time. Wait until they also land on Borneo before launching an attack Alright. I believe that by then we will have enough strength to deal with the Germans!" General Nishio Hiszo said.

   Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma nodded, and his face looked better. The 14th Front Army has a strong force, with more than 300,000 people. Although there are more than the German 23rd Army, Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma has no confidence in a real fight. If the 7th Front Army and the 18th Front Army are added, there may be a turning point. The 7th Front Army has 5 infantry divisions, 7 independent mixed brigades, a tank division, a tank regiment and an independent tank brigade, plus other units it belongs to, with a total strength of 20 More than ten thousand people. The 18th Front Army has 7 divisions with a total strength of 130,000 troops.

  In this case, the army of the island country has nearly 700,000 people in Borneo, and its total strength is almost three times that of the 23rd Army of the German Army.

  With such a large advantage, it should be a certainty that the island army defeated the German 23rd Army.

   "Hi, Your Excellency Commander, I understand the humble position." Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma nodded.

  After receiving the promise from General Nishio Hiszo, Lieutenant General Masharu Honma was relieved a lot.

  Next, the army of the island country began to increase its troops to Borneo. Except for the independent and mixed 24th Brigade and 72nd Brigade of the defeated Lanyin Front Army who stayed to continue fighting, the rest of the remnants withdrew to the Philippine Islands to rest. Lieutenant General Hebe Zhengsan, the commander of the Lanyin Front Army, was relieved of his post and returned home. Waiting for him, it is estimated that he will retire from active service.

  At the same time, the remaining parts of the 14th Front Army of the island country, as well as the 7th Front Army and the 18th Front Army that arrived later, are all landing on Borneo in large numbers.
