However, in late February, the British troops in Singapore surrendered, and Singapore, the largest British military stronghold in the Far East, fell.

The 5th Division had no combat plan for the time being, so the Japanese base camp prepared to order the 5th Division to take a rest and then transfer the 5th Division to North China to participate in the attack on northwest Shanxi.

"It is the 5th Division of the Steel Army." Tanabe Moributo, "Although all the elite veterans of the 5th Division have been lost in the past few years of battles, the 5th Division still has combat effectiveness among the Locust Army divisions.

The first echelon, and at the end of the previous year, the 5th Division had reorganized three divisions and abolished the 9th Brigade and the 21st Brigade Headquarters. However, it was one of the first mechanized divisions of the Locust Army and the entire division still had 2.5

Thousands of people, with extremely powerful combat effectiveness, they easily defeated the US and British troops in Southeast Asia..."

At the beginning, the 5th Division was the main force of the Japanese army's attack on China. Under the leadership of the division commander Seishiro Itagaki, the 21st Brigade participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan and the Battle of Xinkou in Shanxi, and achieved remarkable results.

"Yoshi!"

Okamura Neji nodded with a satisfied expression.

I thought that the base camp had finally transferred a unit capable of fighting to the North China Front Army.

What were the previous 10th Division and 1st Division?

Those two divisions boasted that they were the most powerful divisions in the Japanese army. However, on the battlefield, they were vulnerable to the fierce and fierce offensive of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the 1st Division and the 10th Division had not participated in many battles. They spent most of their time training in Manchuria to guard against the Soviet army in the Far East.

The 5th Division has been fighting, experiencing the baptism of blood and artillery fire.

After a pause, Okamura Neiji asked: "Tanabe-kun, do you estimate how long it will take for the Locust Army to complete the deployment of troops and supplies?"

"Your Excellency, General." Tanabe Moritake thought for a while and said, "It will take at least a month and a half!"

"That will be mid-April, when the locust army launches a devastating attack on the Eighth Route Army's base in northern Shanxi!"
