"Hai." Yuasakura Heikra paused, and then said, "In Hawaii, after Yamashita's 26th Army has successively captured Kahuraway Island and Maui, only the small Oahu Island and Kauai Island are still under the control of the US military. But his Majesty is relieved that the supplies of the US military on the island have been completely cut off."

"Without the supply of supplies, especially freshwater, the US military on the island will not last long."

"The 16th Army of Sasaki's 16th Army has also landed in Borneo. The Dutch army on the island is more fragile than expected. It is defeated as soon as it comes into contact. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the 16th Army occupy Borneo and even the entire East Indies. According to my estimate, it will only last ten days at most."

"Yo Xi." Hirohito nodded happily and continued, "What about Australia?"

"Australia is still a little trouble for the time being." Yuasakura Hei whispered, "Due to the limited number of merchant ships mobilized, the 16th Army and the 26th Army must be given priority at this stage, so the 15th Army may have to wait for a while. Fortunately, Australia is completely an isolated continent and will not be able to receive external reinforcements even in a few years."

Speaking of this, Yuasakura Hei said again: "As long as the Pacific Ocean is still under the control of the Navy Combined Fleet, Australia is the empire's tray meal, and you can eat it whenever you want."

Hirohito said: "Yes, I never worry about Australia, but Myanmar..."

Yuasakura Heiduchi said, "Yes, the situation in Myanmar is indeed not optimistic."

Hirohito's face immediately collapsed and he said in a deep voice: "Why are you not optimistic?"

Yuasakura Hei whispered: "According to information provided by intelligence personnel lurking in Myanmar, the handover between the Chinese Expeditionary Force and Britain and Myanmar seems to have been completed, and there is no conflict in between."

"Nani?" Hirohito said with a frown, "It seems that your Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't say that before?"

"Hai." Yuasakura Hei said, "This is my dereliction of duty, and it is my reaction to the British wrongly judgement, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish me."

"Forget it, let's talk about the punishment later." Hirohito groaned and said, "I didn't expect that the handover between the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the British-Burma Army could be successfully completed. In this way, the Chinese Expeditionary Force would have enough time to deploy Myanmar's defense. The 25th Army is about to face an unprecedented fierce battle."

"Hai." Yuasakura Hirado said, "Fortunately, Ishihara was prepared for this. In the battle to attack the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, he did not even use the 1st, 2nd Division, and 8th Division only used an infantry corps, which means that he had already prepared for the Battle of Myanmar."

"Ishihara Kanji?" Hirohito frowned, "I hope his abilities can match his fame."

"Hai." Yuasakura Heiwei paused and whispered, "Ishihara-kun will not disappoint His Majesty."

...

In Yangon, Myanmar, the British-Burma Army Command.

The former British-Burma Army Command has become the chief of the Myanmar War Zone.

In the war room, senior generals from the Myanmar war zone such as Zhong Yi, Stilwell, Wang Geng, Yang Sen, Pan Wenhua, Deng Xihou and Wang Lingji were gathering on the sand table.

"Please look, this is Bangkok." Wang Geng said with a finger on the sand table, "After occupying Singapore, the Japanese army will definitely attack Myanmar through Bangkok!"

“The border between Myanmar and Thailand is thousands of miles long.”

"However, the Shanbang Plateau in the north is deep and densely forested, and there is no road access."

"Not whether the Japanese army had the courage to travel through the jungle, even if their infantry had the courage to travel through the tropical jungle, their heavy equipment would not be able to pass, so there was no need to worry in a short period of time."

"That is to say, at least in the first phase of the battle, the main attack direction of the Japanese army could only be in the area south of Kayah."

"The tiles and Maulhamun south of Keyah are all plains with flat rivers and no danger to defend at all. Therefore, the narrow strips in the east have no value to stick to, so they will definitely give up."

"The only thing we can use is the three rivers east of Yangon."

"The three rivers east of Yangon are the Salwen River, Xidang River and Bogu River from front to back."

"The Salwin River is wide and the riverbed is deep enough. The Japanese Navy's warships can go up the river, so the Salwin River is simply unable to defend."

"If you have to defend the Salwen River to the death, you can only repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Songhu and become a living target for the Japanese Navy."

"The Bogu River is too shallow and narrow, and the engineers can easily build a floating bridge, which is not enough to stop the Japanese army's advancement."

"So the only thing we can use is tin as a river! Tin as a river! We must build the defense line of tin as a river in the shortest time."

"We want Xidanghe to become a gap that the Japanese army cannot cross!"

"Please look at the map carefully. If the tin river is compared to a lock, then the tin river city located at the mouth of the tin river is undoubtedly the key to opening this lock!"

"Once the city of Xidang is captured, the Japanese army can set up a floating bridge near the estuary of Xidang River without any scruples. The Japanese army can easily cross the Xidang River with heavy equipment, and the defense line of Xidang River collapses!"

"So, there needs to be an elite force to guard the tin! Keep this key!"

Speaking of this, Wang Geng stopped and stopped talking, and the war room fell into silence.

Zhong Yi's eyes swept across Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua's faces. While hesitating to which army to hand over this task, a figure suddenly took a step forward.

When everyone looked back quickly, they found that it was Yang Sen, the commander-in-chief of the 27th Army.

"Sir Zhong!" Yang Sen took a step forward and said, "Let this task be handed over to our 27th Army!"

After pausing, Yang Sen continued: "As long as there is one person in our 27th Army, as long as I, Yang Sen, have a breath, little Japanese will not step into the city of Tindang!"

Zhong Yi looked at Yang Sen with a deep look and did not agree immediately.

To be honest, Yang Sen actually had a criminal record of losing land by abandoning the city.

In the Battle of Anqing, Yang Sen's 20th Army defeated the Hotan Detachment within a few hours. He had slapped Principal Chang's chest and promised that he would stay in Anqing for half a year, but it turned out to be a joke.

Because of this, Principal Chang was so angry that he almost sent someone to shoot Yang Sen.

Although there are other reasons in the middle, it is an indisputable fact that Yang Sen was unable to defend An Qing. A force that can truly fight tough battles will not be affected by the external environment to combat effectiveness.
