    At this time, the six divisions Japan sent to Borneo had already delivered four main divisions.  [This article comes from Piaotian Literature Network w]

    The remaining two divisions, the elite 10th Division, have arrived in Taiwan. After rest and recuperation, they will soon arrive in Borneo.  It didn't matter, the 4th Division, which was just going through the motions, had also been assembled in the country and was about to board the ship and set off.

    In addition, the 9th Division is located on the front line, and the division commander Tsukamoto Katsuyoshi is about to lead the army to launch an attack on the Indonesian anti-foreign forces.

    Therefore, only the senior commanders of the 3rd Division, 17th Division and 11th Division came to the meeting.

    At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the first pre-war military meeting held after the expeditionary force commander General Nogi Nogi Nogi and deputy commander and chief of staff General Kuroki Weizhen arrived in Borneo officially began.

    After the meeting began, Kuroki briefly introduced the general situation after the Japanese army arrived in Borneo.

    Furthermore, Kuroki announced to senior commanders the exact news that the Indonesian anti-foreign forces were controlled by the Chinese, which aroused everyone's surprise.

    "Immediately afterwards, Heimu Weizhen said solemnly: "Everyone, the frontline reconnaissance team reported that the cruel Indonesian anti-foreign forces, led by the cunning Chinese, had a great morale and fighting spirit after winning the first battle.

    In order to defeat our army, they implemented clearing tactics in the area bordering our army.  These hateful guys moved all the local people, livestock, property, food and other items in an attempt to make our army gain nothing from the attack and eventually retreat.  "

    The senior commanders discussed the bad news for a while, and Nogi Nogi said seriously: "Everyone, it can be seen that the current situation is not as simple as we thought when we went abroad. The combat effectiveness of the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army is probably not as good as ours.  Under the army.

    Therefore, we must brace ourselves and respond with all our strength, and must not underestimate the enemy.  Otherwise, you elites are likely to capsize in the ditch and be defeated by the enemy like the 7th Regiment of the 9th Division."

    Although the senior commanders of "Hai" were very disapproving, they still responded loudly.  The loudest voice was of course Nogi's best friend, Lieutenant General Ichitobei, the commander of the 17th Division.

    After Nogi Nogi continued to remind him a few more words, Kuroki Weizhen said worriedly: "Everyone, the clearing tactics implemented by the Indonesian anti-foreign forces will prevent our army from finding any colonies to drive in the South Borneo occupied area.  Labor force, this is very detrimental to the colonial rule that our army will implement."

    "Kuroki-dono, please don't worry about this." The commander of the 11th Division, Yukisuke Ichichi, interjected: "Before I led my army to leave, the country was organizing an expatriate reclamation group, and the situation was very good. I believe it will take a while.  , the first batch of overseas Chinese reclamation groups will arrive.

    Haha, the citizens of the empire are far more useful than lazy Indonesians.  By then, the fertile land of the colony will naturally be properly managed.  "

    Heimu Weizhen smiled indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yi Di, the number of people in the expatriate reclamation group is limited. Without the help of a large number of cheap colonial labor, a lot of land will inevitably become barren due to no one cultivating it.

    Our goal is to capture the entire Indonesia.  Therefore, we must first take root in Borneo and try our best to establish a stable colonial rule.  With this foundation, we will be able to easily capture cities and territories from all directions in the future.  "

    Having said this, Heimu Weizhen straightened his waist and said solemnly: "Everyone, the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army and the Lanfang Republican Army would never have thought that the empire would dispatch six divisions and more than 100,000 troops so quickly.  , came to Borneo. Therefore, we have to attack quickly before they have prepared any response measures to catch them off guard.

    We not only want to get each other¡¯s land, but also a large population.  It has now been found that a total of about 1.5 million Indonesians have gathered in Khunsa Town and nearby areas in South Borneo, the center of the rule of the Indonesian Anti-foreign Army.

    The main force of the Indonesian anti-foreigner army is also there.  There were riots there recently, which gave us an opportunity.  therefore¡­¡­"

    Before 4 p.m., the military meeting came to a successful conclusion.

    The meeting decided that the 9th Division would serve as the vanguard and set off first at 8 a.m. the next day, January 22, advancing from the middle road to Kunsha Town.

    Five hours later, the 3rd and 17th Divisions followed to protect the 9th Division's flanks.

    The three divisions are closely connected and advance in a perfect formation to attack the territory of the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army.

    Because there will not be a war with the Lanfang Republic yet, the 11th Division, which was still resting shortly after arriving in Borneo, stayed on the Pontianak line to ensure the safety of the base camp and the back safety of the three attacking divisions.

    After arranging everything, watching the senior commanders leave one after another, Kuroki Weizhen suddenly smiled bitterly and said to Nogi Nogi: "Nogi-kun, although there are still two divisions about toreach.  However, based on the current situation, I hope that the useless Osaka 4th Division will not be sent to Borneo to hold us back.

    ¡°Sigh, I really don¡¯t know what the Army Headquarters thinks, it sends out this rubbish army every time.¡±

    Nogi Nogi Nogi echoed a few words with deep sympathy, and said helplessly: "The Army Headquarters also hopes that the 4th Division can become a strong army through several actual battles.

    However, since the Indonesian Anti-Foreign Army and the Lanfang Republican Army are both quite strong and difficult to deal with, the 4th Division cannot be allowed to fight the enemy.  Otherwise, the loss of a few troops will be the worst, and the enemy's morale will be boosted in vain, which will be more than worth the loss.  "

    Heimu Weizhen agreed and said: "Then, after the 4th Division arrives, I will ask the division to stay in Pontianak and not fight with the enemy. I think the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division will also do the same.  Such an arrangement is very welcome.¡±

    It turns out that the officers and soldiers of the Japanese 4th Division were mainly composed of vegetable vendors and traveling merchants from Osaka.

    Osaka is somewhat different from other Japanese cities. This place is a famous commercial city. Most of the residents are related to business and have very limited respect for the emperor and princes.

    ????Moreover, around issues such as excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people of Osaka have been fighting and bargaining with the princes for hundreds of years, let alone the so-called loyalty.  Therefore, the emperor's status in the hearts of Osaka people is also different from that in other places.

    These officers and soldiers who were born in Osaka despised the imperial power and opposed being cannon fodder.  They are used to bargaining and calculating, and will not follow orders to the end with their eyes closed like other troops.

    The officers and soldiers of the 4th Division even secretly formulated the "Three Don'ts": "Don't make sacrifices that are unnecessary to read* books~", "Don't participate in unreasonable battles", "Don't pursue the enemy at the end of the road".  "in principle.

    Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the 4th Division is very low and is rarely used to participate in frontal combat.

    The main reason for coming to Borneo this time was that the senior Japanese army wanted the Fourth Division to train with Indonesians and Chinese from Borneo to enhance their combat effectiveness.

    However, according to the wishes of Nogi Nogi and Kuroki Shizhen, the goals of the top Japanese military officials were impossible to achieve.  .
