On February 28, the 3rd Air Force of the Army Air Force of the ind country was supplemented from within the country, and all flying divisions were fully staffed again. In addition, the 4th Air Force also all arrived in the Philippine Inds. This is also a powerful air force with three flying divisions.


    When the two air armies are fully staffed, the ind country army aviation has more than 600bat aircraft in the Philippine Inds. In terms of the number of aircraft, it is no less than the 5th Aviation Group of the Luftwaffe. It''s just that it can''tpete with the Luftwaffe in terms of aircraft performance.


    General Hisao Nishio,mander of the Southern Army of the ind country, is also adopting new tactics. He knew that it was simply impossible topletely seize air supremacy. The Japanese Army Air Force simply does not have this strength. Unless more fighter jets are mobilized from the country, otherwise, their losses will only increase further.


    "Gentlemen, the German Air Force has too much advantage. It is difficult to defeat them with the Army Air Force alone. So I decided to adopt a new tactic to deal with the Germans!" General Nishio Hiszo said.


    After bing themander of the Southern Army, many people stared at this position. If Admiral Hisao Nishio is unable to achieve sess for a long time, this will undoubtedly give others an excuse. Therefore, General Hisao Nishio couldn''t wait to make a difference.


    Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeru, Commander of the Philippine Front, Lieutenant General Kawabe Masaharu, Commander of the Lanyin Front, Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, Commander of the 14th Front, Lieutenant General Michida Sugawara, Commander of the 3rd Air Force, Kumaichi Teramoto, Commander of the 4th Air Force The lieutenant generals all looked at General Nishio Hiszo with a serious face, not knowing what he was going to do.


    "Tukada-kun, tell the generals about the n!" General Nishio Hiszo said to the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Tsukada Offensive.


    "Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Lieutenant General Tsukada Gong nodded.


    "Gentlemen, in view of the obvious superiority of the Germans in the air, it is difficult for us topete with them. Moreover, we do not have much time. Therefore, we can only adopt other tactics. After the approval of the General Staff Headquarters,nd The Borneo n can be implemented. However, what I need to tell everyone is that once this n is implemented, our losses may be rtivelyrge." Lieutenant General Tsukada said.


    The faces of several front armymanders became serious. They know that when the previous expected goals cannot be achieved, the most likely thing for the ind army is to adopt desperate tactics. After all, this is the consistent style of the Japanese army.


    "Two dayster, the Lan-Indian front forces dispatched their main force, crossed the Sulu Sea forcibly, andunched anding operation to the east of Borneo. At that time, the 3rd Air Force and 4th Air Force of the Army Air Force will provide full reinforcements to prevent the transport fleet from being attacked by the Germans. In addition, the Navy will dispatch some warships to reinforce us. We hope that this forcednding n will be sessful andnd in eastern Borneo in one fell swoop." Lieutenant General Tsukada said.


    As soon as Lieutenant General Tsukada finished speaking, Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo''s face became very ugly. This is clearly to let the Lanyin army use their lives to fill it! Even with the cover of the Army Aviation, it is unknown how many people will die in the sea before reaching Borneo. However, Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo had no way to refuse. He knew that General Nishio Shouzo wanted all of this.


    "After the Lanyin Front Armyunches an offensive, if necessary, the 14th Front Army will alsounch anding operation!" Lieutenant General Tsukada Gong continued.


    Obviously, this is to prevent the Lan-Indian front army from suffering heavy losses and unable to gain an advantage on the Borneo battlefield. At that time, the 14th Front will have to attack.


    "Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Lieutenant General Masahiro Honma replied.


    "Gentlemen, for the future of the empire, we must do our best this time. I believe that Amaterasu will bless us. We will be able to sessfullynd in Borneo and defeat the Germans!" General Nishio Hiszo said.


    "The empire will win! His Majesty the Emperor is on board!" Several front armymanders shouted loudly.


    On the night of March 2, the navy of the ind country secretly dispatched a fleet through the Philippine Inds and into the Sulu Sea. This fleet consists of two "Tone-ss" heavy cruisers, two "Tianlong-ss" light cruisers and 10 "Yugumo-ss" destroyers.


    Although the navy of the ind country did not send a capital ship, it only sent two heavy cruisers. However, after the joint fleet suffered heavy losses, it is already very good that the navy of the ind country can dispatch a fleet of this size. Moreover, these warships have strong firepower, and they undoubtedly pose a deadly threat to ground targets. Once the Lanzhou-Indian Front Army of the ind country army startsnding operations, if these warships provide them with artillery support with powerful naval gun fire, it will undoubtedly clear the way for thending troops and increase the possibility of sessfulnding.


    At the same time in Zamboanga, Mindanao, arge number of transport ships and merchant ships have gathered in the port. Every transport ship and merchant ship was filled with soldiers from the Lanyin Front Army of the ind country army. In order to increase the number of people transported as much as possible, those ind soldiers were crowded on the ship like livestock. Of course, this also means that once these transport ships and merchant ships are sunk, they can cause considerable casualties to the ind army.


    However, when the ind army is fighting, it has never put the lives of soldiers in its eyes. As long as they can win, no matter how many people die, they will not hesitate.


    At 10 o''clock in the evening, Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo,mander of the Lanyin Front Army, and Major General Taro Nakayaga, chief of staff, appeared at the port. Major General Isomura Takeyoshi, the deputy chief of staff of the Lanyin Front Army who was in charge of the preparations for this offensive, quickly reported the preparations to them.


    "Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff. All the troops in thisnding operation have been uploaded, and they are ready to go at any time!" Major General Takeyoshi Isomura reported.


    Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo nodded: "Where are Sakurai-kun and Honda-kun?"


    It was mainly the 28th Army and the 33rd Army under the jurisdiction of the Lanyin Front Army that initiated thisnding operation. They will all invest the main force in thisnding operation. Among them, the 28th Army invested in the 2nd Division and the 54th Division, and the 33rd Army invested in the 18th Division and the 56th Division. The armies of the two countries willunchndings in Sennaport and Lahad Datu respectively.


    Soon, Lieutenant General Sakurai Shozo and Lieutenant General Honda Masazai arrived.


    "Sakurai-kun, Honda-kun. This time, please go inside. Ournding must be sessful!" Lieutenant General Kawabe Shozo said.


    "Hey, Your Excellency, Commander, I will do my best!" Lieutenant Generals Sakurai Shōzo and Honda Masazai replied.
