At 9 o'clock in the evening, Chen Hao, Xia Xingyu and others came to the hill and saw that outside the camp of the Guards at the foot of the mountain, guard officers and soldiers in a queue were holding torches and conducting night battle training in a quiet voice.

Li Wei, commander of the First Corps, observed for a long time and said appreciatively: "The Guards are indeed well-trained, and their night combat capabilities are even better than those of the most elite soldiers in my First Corps."

"Of course the Guards protect the safety of the principal. The officers and soldiers are all elite soldiers from various units, and the training is the most difficult. Therefore, no matter what aspect, the Guards are the strongest," said Lu Liwei, deputy commander of the Guards.

While talking, a group of more than 500 guard soldiers strode past in front of everyone. They lined up in an orderly manner and were conducting late-night mountain marching training.

The commander of the Guard Army, "Divine Dart", Huang Congli, said loudly: "Commander Li, the Chinese-Indian reorganization division was able to eat the Seventh Regiment of the Japanese Army this time because it launched a raid attack before dawn at 3 a.m. to achieve the record of annihilation of the Japanese army. Therefore, our guards attach more importance to night battle training."

"Well, since our army has a little gap with the Japanese army, in order to avoid excessive casualties, we must rely on night battles to win." Li Wei nodded and responded: "After returning, I will continue to strengthen the troops' night battle training so that I can raid the Japanese army at night in the future and achieve better results than the Chinese-Indian reorganized division."

Chen Hao smiled and said, "While there has not yet been a battle with the Japanese army, we can let the soldiers sleep during the day and conduct silent night battle training at night. When the battle starts, the soldiers will be able to adapt to night battles."

After a pause, Chen Hao asked the officers around him: "Where are there any major difficulties when the soldiers conduct night combat training?"

Chief of staff of the First Corps, Ye Lisen pondered: "Principal, if you conduct night combat training, there will always be injuries to soldiers and accidental injuries between each other, resulting in a sharp increase in non-combat reductions in soldiers.

Moreover, many soldiers reacted that they could not see clearly when they were training in night battles. Some soldiers simply said that they could not see things as soon as they entered the night and could not train with them."

Chen Hao replied: "Injury or accidental injury is inevitable in night combat training. The little Japanese is very strong. In order to avoid killing one thousand enemies and losing 800, they have to train to death."

Chen Hao continued to walk down the mountain, "As for the soldiers who reacted that they could not see things at night, someone had already reacted to this problem and could be solved immediately, so you don't have to worry."

Everyone asked how to solve this problem.

Chen Hao said confidently: "I have ordered the medical school doctors to study drugs for night blindness, and now they have been developed successfully. At the same time, I also ordered people to plant a large number of carrots. In the next few months, all the officers and soldiers will have a meal of cooked carrots every day. I believe that the soldiers will soon be very clear-headed and sharp-eyed, and will fight fiercely at night."

I returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain and slept well. Early the next morning, Chen Hao summoned military officers at the group level and above to hold a military meeting.

Before the meeting began, Chen Hao ordered the reorganized division of China and India to send a telegram to the Chinese and Indian reorganization divisions to implement a solid wall and clear the fields where the Japanese army was about to arrive. Not only would there be no food and food for the Japanese army, but even the Indonesians who could work could not get it.

After the military meeting began, Ye Lisen, the Chief of Staff of the First Corps, first analyzed the strength of the Japanese army to the middle and senior officers of the People's Liberation Army according to the report sent by the Sino-Indian reorganization division.

The report of the China-Indian reorganized division pointed out that the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment of the Japanese Ninth Division had extremely high individual quality.

When the Japanese army charged, most of the soldiers would not charge forward in a daze. They basically bent over and walked in a zigzag curve, which brought great difficulty to the shooting of the officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Indian reorganized divisions.

Moreover, the Japanese soldiers maintained a distance of 8 to 15 meters between individual soldiers, and there was no situation like the Indonesian army rushing forward and charging in a dense formation.

With the firepower being suppressed, it would be difficult for the Chinese and Japanese troops to hit the Japanese army if it were not for special forces with very accurate marksmanship.

The Chinese-Indian reorganized division, which was not equipped with heavy machine guns and artillery, would not be the opponent of the Japanese Seventh Regiment if it had not been continuously used "conspiracy and tricks". Of course, if there were no special forces raiding in the early morning, it would not have been possible to destroy the Japanese Seventh Regiment.

Chief of Staff Ye Lisen completed the analysis of the actual combat power of the Japanese army and reminded the commanders not to underestimate the Japanese army, and to conduct night combat training after returning to the army.

Finally, Xia Xingyu, deputy commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army, spoke, proposing that the Japanese army came from afar and had difficulty in supplying. After its main force arrived, it would inevitably strive to fight quickly to achieve quick battles and decisive decisions so as to consolidate the existing territory faster, attract domestic people to come to reclaim land, and gain the benefits of the colonies.

In view of this, the various units of the People's Liberation Army must not let the Japanese army get what they want. All units must try their best to entangle the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army can't extricate themselves from the Borneo battlefield, and gradually consume the Japanese army's vitality and the national strength that is recovering and developing.

...

At the same time, it was snowing heavily in Tokyo, Japan.

The cold weather makes the Japanese military and political officials who are concerned about Borneo look forward to winning this treasure land without cold winter as soon as possible.

When learning that the Lanfang Republic had sent an army of more than 70,000 people to the front line of Pontianak, Emperor Meiji hurriedly summoned Prime Minister Kanetaro, Ito Hirofumi, Aritomoto Yama Prefecture, and Nishinomiji Komaki to hold a meeting of important officials to discuss how to deal with it.

Regarding this unfavorable news, Yuto Yama Prefecture, the father of the modern Japanese army, welcomed him and sneered: "His Majesty the Emperor, after destroying the Indonesian xenophobic army, we have to find an excuse to invade the territory of the Lanfang Republic. Since they came to the door by themselves this time, we will destroy them together."

"Yes, for the majesty and credibility of the Great Japanese Empire and in order to regain the honor of the Great Japanese Empire's army, those who are in trouble with the Great Japanese Empire must be severely attacked." As a proud disciple of Akito Yama Prefecture, Prime Minister Kaedaro first echoed.

Hirofumi Ito frowned and shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "His Majesty the Emperor, everyone, before the Lanfang Republican Army sent out this more than 70,000 troops, they could compete with the Indonesian xenophobia near Pontianak, which shows that the Lanfang Republican Army can at least deal with more than two divisions of our army.

If we go to war with the Lanfang Republic Army at the same time, we will at least send more than two divisions. However, a few years after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the vitality of the Great Japanese Empire has not yet recovered. If we send more than two divisions, we can conquer the entire Borneo and seize the fertile land and property of Borneo, it is barely acceptable. However, if we increase troops and fall into it again, it will be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, we should now first fight against the Lanfang Republic and destroy the Indonesian xenophobic army, and then go to war with the Lanfang Republic."

After hearing Hirofumi Ito's words, everyone, including Yuto Yama Prefecture, nodded.

After a long discussion, the ministers decided to negotiate with the Lanfang Republic, and sent three more divisions to Borneo to eliminate the elusive Indonesian xenophobic army faster. And to prevent the Lanfang Republic Army, which is close to the point of being ready to move...
