The National Assistance Corps to Australia is now actually divided into three parts. The Xue Pacific Fleet as a whole constitutes the main maritime force of the Australian Assistance Corps; the mixed troops of the original Xuexing Expeditionary First Army and the Second Army led by Chu Tiange are added to
The approximately 50,000 National Defense Forces brought to Australia by Luo Zhuoying and the 60,000 French volunteers sent to Australia by Ang Bos formed the main land force of the Australian Army and were organized by Chu Tiange into the First Expeditionary Army and the Second Expeditionary Army;
Of the approximately 150,000 National Defense Forces who later arrived in Karachi, except for about 30,000 who were absorbed into the Marine Corps by Bai Liusu, the rest were organized into the Third Expeditionary Army, with Sun Liren as commander, responsible for the defense of the Southern Peninsula. Commander-in-Chief
The ministry did this, on the one hand, in response to requests from the United States and Britain to prevent the Japanese from launching another offensive in Burma and India, and also in response to requests from Thailand and France to help them resist possible Japanese invasion.
Thailand, like the French Indochina Federation, is now a dumping ground for military and civilian industrial products, and it is also equivalent to the granary of the coalition government. Therefore, even if the corresponding countries and institutions do not make this request, it will not be the best for their own food security.
Considering that Ouyang Yun also intends to strengthen the defense force of the Southern Peninsula. This also has the advantage of freeing up the former Northeastern Army stranded in northeastern Myanmar to specialize in the "anti-colonial cause."
At that time, Ouyang Yun urged the Xuebing Army and the Northeastern Army to form an expeditionary force to intervene in the Southern Peninsula. The prospect he designed for the Northeastern Army was to take root in Myanmar, thereby helping the country maintain sufficient influence on the Southern Peninsula. Unfortunately, due to various reasons,
The reason is that the Northeastern soldiers do not appreciate it and are unwilling to follow this step. But now, as the Northeastern Army has actually become a part of the student army, its die-hard elements have either been purged or their powers have been confiscated. To implement this
The time for strategy is considered ripe.
In the past, Sun Liren became famous when he led the expedition to Southeast Asia. In this time and space, he did not live up to his historical reputation. After leading his troops from Karachi to Burma, he first seized power from the British with an extremely tough attitude.
After gaining actual control over Myanmar, he organized the troops to conduct adaptive training, and showed a posture of being ready to fight at any time. What he did in Myanmar naturally aroused protests from the British government, which was why the British had been slow to
The reason why he refused to compromise with the Xuebingjun and return Hong Kong.
The British protest was naturally ineffective. At this time, Britain had lost even the mainland of Great Britain. Whether it was military or diplomatic, if it wanted to make any difference, it had to look at the eyes of the Americans. The Americans were eagerly counting on the country.
When the Australian Legion came to help, their various demands were naturally impossible to be met.
At the beginning of the confrontation between the Third Expeditionary Army and the Japanese army in southwestern Myanmar, Koizumi Toshiichiro felt very nervous. As a time traveler, it was naturally impossible for Koizumi to be unfamiliar with the name "Sun Liren". In fact, in his diary, it was
There is a special space dedicated to recording famous anti-Japanese generals such as Sun Liren. However, because of Ouyang Yun's sudden appearance out of thin air, his preparations did not play a corresponding role. And now, as Sun Liren finally appears with his army in accordance with the historical process
In Southeast Asia, it seemed that all the preparations he had made before were starting to come into play.
However, Sun Liren did not show his edge immediately as he expected. And just when he was negligent and his attention was attracted by the Guadalcanal front line, Sun Liren took action.
The reason why the Japanese army did not follow the historical process and use large-scale troops on the Southern Peninsula is, on the one hand, because it was strongly intercepted by the Cadet Expeditionary Force, which suppressed its arrogance from the beginning; secondly, it is related to the production of the Southern Peninsula. Japan Strategy
Southeast Asia, in the picture, is Sumatra's oil and Southeast Asia's rubber resources. After successfully occupying Sumatra, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia, their requirements were met. For the Southern Peninsula, which currently only produces food, it is not too difficult.
I am interested. In addition, under the management of the Xuebing Army, the Southern Peninsula has actually become a piece of iron. Considering that the input and output are not proportional, everyone from the Japanese base camp to Koizumi Minichiro thought that the most important thing at that time was
The most important thing was to plunder the oil resources of Sumatra Island and establish an overseas military industrial base based on it, so they did not continue to use troops against the Southern Peninsula.
According to Koizumi's idea, using the narrow terrain at the junction of Malaysia, Thailand, and Myanmar to establish reinforced defenses would be enough to prevent the Allied forces from launching a counterattack from the Southern Peninsula. Then, Japan's vested interests in Southeast Asia have actually been obtained.
At this time, the empire's focus in the Pacific should not be the southern peninsula with poor mineral resources, but Australia, which is rich in iron ore.
As fellow time travellers, Koizumi Toshiichiro was highly wary of Sun Liren, and Ouyang Yun naturally favored him. Sun Liren, as a direct confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, supposedly during the coalition government, would not be overtly promoted or covertly demoted to confiscate military power.
, it is impossible to be reused. The fact is exactly the opposite. During the reorganization period, Sun Liren and his 38th Division did not enjoy special treatment. They also enjoyed other things that the original Central Army should "enjoy", and,
Sun Liren was also put into an officer training class and was severely beaten by a group of young men who were studying in the army.
Sun Liren regained his fortune after entering the ranks of the Australian Assistance Corps. On the first day that the 38th Division was included in the list of the National Defense Forces of the Australian Assistance Corps, he was promoted to deputy commander of the First Army of the National Defense Force. Then, the division began
When he arrived in Karachi, he was appointed as the general director of the First Army's Reorganization and Training Division. The Australian Army Defense Forces were reorganized due to an appointment letter from the headquarters, and he was appointed as the commander of the Third Expeditionary Army.
In just over two months, Sun Liren was promoted to three levels in a row, setting a new record for promotions among National Defense Force officers. This naturally attracted attention from all parties. What is ridiculous is that because of this incident, some people actually concluded that Sun Liren
As early as when he was in the Tax Police Corps of the Ministry of Finance, he had secretly communicated with the Xuebingjun and had become Ouyang Yun's confidant. After hearing about this incident, Chiang Kai-shek also complained in front of Mrs. Song, calling himself blind.
I was stunned, why didn't I realize that Sun was actually a white-eyed wolf?
But when it comes to Sun Liren himself, when all kinds of rumors about him were flying around, he initially thought it was Ouyang Yun's plan to alienate him. Based on this, he concluded that Ouyang Yun had sinister intentions and did not have the magnanimity that a superior person should have.
So he gave up his mind. However, after Bai Liusu distributed the corresponding tutorials and weapons and equipment, his mind completely changed.
As a soldier, especially when the country is facing invasion by foreign enemies, who does not hope that through his own efforts, the country can get out of the current predicament as soon as possible and become a national hero. No matter what Ouyang Yun thinks, for him, this is a proof
His own opportunity. What the young men in the Xuebing Army could do, why couldn't he? After Sun Lixin had such an idea, he was no longer affected by external rumors and began to experience the responsibilities of a commander.
His hard work paid off. One and a half months after arriving on the front line in Myanmar, his chance to prove himself finally came.
