Inform the people of France that if we were to sue for peace, the Japanese government would only accept it if we gave up a part of the French mainland. We are willing to let Indochina go for peace but we cannot begin selling out those who want to be french citizens. 


Have have this speech be broadcasted and send by leaflet across Indochina. It will be translated into the native languages of the people: The Japanese play to treat you, the people of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam,like they treated the Empire of Korea. They will help you fight against us, the French but once they've gotten us out of Indochina, they will turn on you and subigate you. They've done this to Korea and they've tried to do this to China but we, the French interviened and stop the atttack. Now we are trying to prevent the same from happening to you and if you the people help us, we will give you all the freedom you rightly deserve. Full autonomy.

Operation: The Miserables, Results



 


 




On one of the many calm, sunny days along on entire coastlines of Indochina, there would be masses of infantry, tanks and artillery that engaged amphibious landing craft and it's support vessels, guns and cannons roar as they dealt death and destruction on both sides as the ones on solid ground try to destroy as many landing craft as possible. Before the boats could unload an invasion force to take the beaches, massive casualties mount immediately as artillery and anti-tank fire ripped through the unarmored hulls of many landing craft, killing entire infantry squads before they could make themselves useful.


It would not be enough.


Soon the supporting ships would start to destroy the batteries and positions prepared to repel the invaders, and one by one the landing ships hit the beach, the hull crunching softly before a furious scream of 'TENNO HEIKA BANZAI!!!' fill the skies as fanatic shock troops and regular Japanese infantry poured forward, bloodthirsty for revenge as they opened fire, mounted bayonets and pulled katanas (not in that exact order) while charging into the French defenses.


Explosion after explosion shook the earth, throwing sand high into the sky as the two sides clashed for dominance. Down the Southern half of the Vietnamese coast the French/Indochinese defenses stood strong, dealing severe casualties on the Japanese landing troops as wave after wave were repulsed, far too severe for their commander's liking, and the attack was soon discontinued. Meanwhile in the northern half of the coastline it was the French who suffered devastating defeat as they were driven from their prepared defenses by unrelenting, fanatic shock troops that were sworn to have 'taken a full mag but kept running with blood spilling from the wounds in his chest, claiming victim after victim with swift thrusts into the enemy from their long bayonet'.


Japan seizes Hai Phong, Thanh Hoá, Dong Hói and their immediate areas, driving the French back.


The Japanese would immediately follow up as they start to land tanks and other vehicles to support their fighting men, the French bringing forth their own to contest. After a brief duel it was clear that the Japanese had brought far superior tanks compared to the French, so much that it was easy to say that their armor had no equal that day. The resulting one sided-tank battle destroying any French vehicle it came across, giving the Japanese infantry a far easier time compared to the French, however the Japanese are also feeling their losses as a significant proportion of their own lighter vehicles were disabled and destroyed from combined infantry, artillery, aircraft and anti-tank fire.


Despite mounting losses, Japanese slowly pushed the French line back further following success, though some say that the Gods were not done showering them in favor as that night as they were approached by a group of Vietnamese...


... leaders of Vietnamese nationalist parties that had joined together to form the anti-imperialist front known as the Việt Minh.


Offering their assistance in return for liberation, the Japanese knew they needed local support, and accepted without further demands. News of the coalition spread by word across Indochina like wildfire, and as a result sparked the spirit of revolution in every nation within Indochina, militias form with and without Japanese guidance deep behind the French lines, and French-Indochinese soldiers desert their posts in the darkness of the night to join the revolutionaries in their quest for freedom.


With locals providing the Japanese support in every capacity, the French garrisons in the North had a hell of a fight to deal with from relentless Japanese assaults combined with local guerrillas sabotaging vehicles, supplies and aircraft, stealing and sniping French soldiers and officers, but they held on, fighting a bloody retreating battle as they lose the entire northern border to the Japanese attackers, their valor often saving them from being annihilated.


Japan seizes/liberates all Vietnamese northern border provinces, and lays siege to Hanoi, two weeks into the campaign.


The French sought to halt the Japanese advance as they rushed to reinforce their defenses in Hanoi... but came under relentless attacks by hundreds of Japanese attack aircraft that launched from Việt Minh built and camoflauged airbases in liberated areas. Tanks were destroyed before reaching the front lines, supplies, infantry and artillery are blown up as fighters strafed the convoys unimpeded, any resistance offered by French Airforce were simply swept away in flames as they were simply outclassed by the numerically and technologically superior Japanese opposition. 


With the Japanese air forces pitching in, dominance was simply handed over to the Japanese as they swept across northern Indochina, annihilating any and all French resistance with ease as they faltered and routed, within the end of the quarter year, Northern Vietnam and Laos was all but liberated.


Even as the quarter year passes, military installments are being bombarded by Japanese bomber groups, with the factories heavily damaged in precise airstrikes only allowed by total air supremacy, whatever's left of the French forces being harassed by both Japanese forces and Indochinese revolutionaries with increasing losses of material and manpower by the day, their position as the masters of Indochina severely questioned.


Japan seizes/liberates all of Northern Vietnam and Laos/Northern Indochina

Operation Jericho


Three months of intense bombing is carried out by the French Air-force stationed in Peru, the Japanese ground forces receiving no air-cover, had to begin camouflaging their ground defenses intensely to avoid accurate drops, and in some places, the Japanese simply pulled into the city, forcing the French bombers to consider bombing civilian targets if they wanted to go further.


With their mission in mind, they do start to bomb the city, without ground forces to direct their bomb paths, the city of Chimbote had become significantly damaged by French Bombings.


Japanese Losses:


- 5,000 infantry


- 50 tanks including 5 Land Dragons


French Losses:


- 12 of each aircraft type involved due to mechanical breakdowns and malfunctions, irrecoverable


The French Air-force also desperately sought to find the Japanese Fleet to no success.

Surprise Attack off the Coast of France!


    After over a month of sailing from the Japanese home lands they arrived hundreds of kilometers off the coast of France, far from the French ability to detect them. Hundreds of Japanese were launched very early in the morning, reaching the French coast around 0430 hours. The two major navy bases of Brest and La Rochelle, and nearby radar stations. The French navy, and army air service, were caught completely off guard, unexpecting a Japanese attack on their very own home soil. But this lopsided attack quickly evened out, while the Japanese aircraft focused on naval and radar station targets they did not concern themselves with disabling local airfields.


  The French aircraft, although late to mobilize, were quick to chase out the Japanese invaders. At first the Japanese pilots underestimated the ferocity that the French would bring, and sought to have a dogfight ending quickly in their favor. After a long engagement, the Japanese routed with nearly half their forces destroyed, while the French lost even more. There was a third attack planned, but the Admiral in command of the operation cancelled when the Japanese air forces routed. The French aircraft tried to follow them, but were vastly out of range, a few aircraft crashing due to low fuel, or damaged aircraft.

Turn 26 Important Starting Events


Japan: 


- News of continuous victory return home, as a result, morale and confidence in the Government soar in both civilian and military sectors, the people are very happy to support the war despite living on the verge of bankruptcy.


- Yes, the Japanese Government is currently bankrupt due to it's huge military and lack of economic policy supporting the every increasing expenditure in the long wars that Japan was involved in, and operations threaten to cease in all foreign theaters due to lack of funds to procure munitions and supplies for the armed forces, the Government will need to secure funds if any further offensive operations are to commence.


- A quarter of high-ranking Generals have resigned from the Army despite it's prestige currently at the highest since the Sino-Japanese war of 1895, perhaps there is a fundamental issue that needs to be addressed?


France:


- Morale in civilian and military sectors have plummeted as news of defeat spread, the fact that the French were attacked on home ground by a nation which is supposed to be half way around the globe and successful in destroying many assets and getting away virtually unscathed only made it worse. There is no super-anti-Japanese sentiment in the nation as it was the French who declared war first and received the surprise attack, unlike a certain Pacific event. Anti-war protests are organized all around the nation, pushing for the Government to sue for peace.

Operation Doolittle, the disastrous


France, in an attempt to supply their troops surrounded in Indochina, sends flying boats and merchant ships filled with men and supplies ready to fight on in Indochina... set off.


They were not able to get to Indochina as they were beset by close to two thousand aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Services, who had been set out on patrolled and guided by sea-boats of the same side, and the most massive air attack took place the entire time France tried to futilely tried to break that line.

Meanwhile in Germany...


A Finnish, Swedish and Danish force was sighted off the coast of Northern Jutland, landing at Grenen and began taking key areas of operations uncontested. Alert by local reports, the German Army quickly mobilized their Air and Ground forces to meet this oncoming threat of sudden incursion from their northern neighbors.


The battle raged on for three weeks, with the Scandinavian forces being eventually driven off with heavy losses in both Air and Ground forces, retreating quickly and quietly from where they came from.


An extravagant amount of enemy material was captured by the local German forces after their departure, the event publicized by the Government post battle as they urged the importance of rearmament and expansion of the Military in response to this illegal military transgression, throughout Germany and the rest of the world.


Losses:


Germany: 8,280 (2,395 KIA, 5,682 WIA, 203 MIA)


Scandinavia: 9,445 (3,409 KIA, 5,830 WIA, 102 MIA, 104 POW)


... as an after event, the German people are enraged by the Scandinavian incursion and appraise the fast response by their military, almost all of them are supportive to the point of frenziness of strong German military response... to the point that a majority are pushing for the German Government to declare WAR.

 

[PvtZetacius]

Operation Heer Shutz will take at least 1 year to complete, 4 turns, but it is successful.


Operation Kalte Vorderseite is very successful, though the German crew complain about the poor states of the ports.

 

[AdmiralKerkov]

Backdoor Invasion!


 A surprise invasion has taken place in western Brazil, without declaration, thousands of Spanish troops have crossed the border line from the Iberian Kingdom into Communist Brazil. There were very few border guards in the points from which the Spanish invaded, and the Brazilians could barely mobilize within a few weeks. By the time they had been able to counter attack the Spanish, they already had been stalled in the wide expanse of the Amazon rainforest.


Much of the Spanish equipment was bogged down in the rainforests, mainly pieces becoming inoperable completely. More casualties were lost to local wildlife, units going missing in the rainforest, than they were to actual fighting. It is rumored diseases and illnesses are spreading in Spanish military camps, as well as Brazilian military camps. Local civilians have been rarely affected as most of the combat has been held outside the villages and towns, and have been ignored by the occupying forces.


Air superiority has been completely taken by the Spanish, but it has proven near useless as there is little to no visibility of enemy forces, and reconnaissance has been fruitless. Artillery has proven semi-useful when the enemy forces have been sighted, the Brazilians, almost completely infantry based, have been decimated in almost every skirmish,


Victory is up for grabs by either side, but this illegal act has not been well received by public opinion.

Sell 350 Vickers 6-ton tanks to Germany for 10,000 pounds per vehicle


Sell 100 Vickers 6-ton tanks to Spain for 20,000 pounds per vehicle. 


Internal Affairs:


Pass legislation through Parliament that authorizes a plan for India to be given in small increments increasing amounts of Autonomy from the British Empire with India itself gaining full independence in the year 1947. The British administration in India under the guidance and supervision of the British parliament will organize and coordinate efforts to set up a new Indian government as well as reorganize India's military into a new national army and Navy as well as make provisions for additional modernization of India's infrastructure and industry. Under this ten year plan, an Indian Parliament will be set up using a similar system to the British Parliament. The upper house will be appointed from Indian nobility while the lower house will be elected. While most of the political power lies within the lower house, the upper house acts as a check to the lower house. The plan also calls for an agreement between India and the United Kingdom declaring a status of friendship and cooperation between the two nations. The UK promises to provide economic, industrial and technological assistance in exchange for a continued alliance with the newly to be formed nation. The legislation also makes provisions for India to be partitioned between India and Pakistan in order to ease religious tension in the region. 


In order to help improve the economy, the UK is to be taken off of a wartime economy. Civilian rationing is to be eased off and goods and services that were temporarily suspended for the war effort are to be resumed. 


Military:


Turn 25 Gloster Grebes over to the Royal Canadian Airforce, Royal Australian Airforce, Royal South Africa Airforce and British Indian Army Flying Corp for training purposes. 


Turn 50 Hawker Horsley's over to the Royal Canadian and Royal Australian Airforces. Turn 24 over to the Royal Indian Army Flying Corp. 


Turn 100 Bristol Bulldogs over to the RCAF, RAAF, RSAF, and RIFC. The remaining 42 aircraft will be sent to Iraq. 


Turn 50 Armstrong Whitworth Atlas planes over to Canada, Australia and India. 


55 Blackburn darts will be turned over to Canada and Australia. 


50 Fairy IIIs will be turned over to Canada, Australia and India. 


Place all Avro 504 and Bristol F.2 fighters into reserve


Bring the Queen Elizabeth, Valiant and Warspite into dry-dock for refit and modernization. The internal machinery of each ship is to be replaced and 6 individual boiler rooms added. The Yarrow boilers are to be replaced with 3-drum admiralty boilers. This reduction in boilers will also make room for four new engine rooms and a gearing room where geared parsons turbine engines will be installed. This new machinery will be roughly 1500 tons lighter and produce more shaft horse power. In order to take advantage of weight saving, 1100 tons of armor will be added to increase the ships horizontal protection. Armor over the magazines will be increased to 5 inches while armor over the machinery spaces will be increased to 3 inches. The further sub-dividing of the engineering spaces will also add strength to the hull. Finally, the main guns will be upgraded to allow increased firing elevation to 30 degrees adding an additional 9,000 yards to the guns range. The six inch secondaries are to be removed and replaced with twenty 4.5 inch duel purpose guns.  Finally, the fire control system will be modernized with the ships recieving the HACS III AA fire control system as well as the Admiralty fire control table Mark VII. The 3 inch AA guns are to be replaced by 2 quadruple 40mm AA mounts. Two additional quadruple mounts are also to be added. 20mm AA guns are to be placed in strategic positions around the ship to provide increased AA defense.

War in Indochina Turn 26 Part 1


There was no let-down of actions in Indochina as French and Japanese forces gather themselves for the fighting to come. With France taking the high, defend-able grounds and preparing defences to meet the Japanese front line assault. The Japanese in the meantime prepare their own plans of offensives while getting supplied through many sources, enabling their aircraft to target the French supply lines and any remaining factories far behind the front lines, denying the French lines much needed supplies.


Despite those setbacks, the French were able to complete their planned defence networks before the Japanese met them in a full frontal assault. Aided by superior armour, aircraft support with well rested and supplied men who were high in morale that assaulted their lines, the fighting was fierce and the Japanese were repulsed by several surprisingly good tactics and defences thought up by the French. That is not to say their losses were negligible, as their heavy artillery went silent only a few rounds in as a result from munitions shortage, and the French soldiers had to start going over the top to steal guns from the Japanese, met with little success.


In the East near the coast... the French line disintegrated as a bulk of the Japanese navy arrived, the lines were decimated by accurate air and battleship barrage that simply turned positions into dirt and craters, burying the French alive. Utilizing the navy the ground forces also landed behind the lines and exploited the breakthrough further, ripping open the East for the Japanese to pour through.


Once through, the Japanese quickly attacked the central and western lines through the defence itself and from the unprotected rear lines, the French defences quickly disintegrating as tanks rolled through artillery positions and capturing/destroying whatever supplies that weren't destroyed by Japanese aircraft that were about to reach the French lines, news reached the French commanders, giving them the dilemma of staying and resisting with whatever little supplies they had left, or to run away and fight another day.


The French Commanders decide to...



War in Indochina Turn 26 Part 2

... abandon their positions to fight another day, they had to leave before the Japanese could fully surround the French lines, so were hasty in just gathering as much munitions and information as their infantry could take before running off, they faced an issue with becoming destroyed completely so left a small contingency behind to perform rear guard actions.


They did their job, the French fighting frantically to hold the Japanese back and intercept the tanks, resorting to suicidal attacks on tanks and infantry themselves as they found their guns soon dry of munitions. Though in limited effect as the Japanese were attacking even in their initial retreating phases, breaching through the now half-occupied defensive positions, capturing the initial French positions quickly and only stopping as their supply lines needed to catch up.


French Defense lines breached and in full retreat


During the retreat, the French soldiers came under fire of Japanese attacking aircraft which showed no mercy, strafing and bombing everything that were out in the open. The men would soon describe this as one of the worst time of the wars as they were harried by aircraft and chased by infantry and tanks (though a far less extent of the latter compared to the former) as they moved south to Saigon.


What they had not expect though, was the Japanese Naval Taskforce had already landed troops in Phan Tiet and Bac Lieu, taking both and moving into Saigon with barely any resistance as the defences manned by militia were easily swept aside by superior SNLF and Dragon-Tanks.


The French soldiers arrive to be greeted by accurate automatic and tank fire as they approach the city, the soldiers simply turning around to run away instead of fighting on, their fight already gone long ago, harried by the fresh elite SNLF and their tanks PLUS Japanese aircraft, making will full haste to the Cambodian border section of Indochina and into Phnom Penh.


At this moment...


Japanese Air Patrol: [This is patrol to Command, I've sighted 10... 12... 19 ships in total, no wait, 22 ships.]


Japanese Command: [Fly in to confirm they aren't French and shoot if they are]


JAP: [Roger, flying close]


...


JAP: [Command, confirming all ships flying Spanish colours, there are Fifteen Cargo ships... and 7 warships, with four destroyer sized... two cruiser sized and... My Goodness, that's a flat-top!]


JC: [Patrol, repeat, did you just say they have a FLAT-TOP?]


JAP: [Confirm, there is one flat-top]


JC: [Hail and track them, we will send a taskforce]


A few moments later...


A small detachment of battleships, cruisers and destroyers arrive to intercept the convoy alongside air-support not far away, with the Japanese commander demanding that the Spanish ships stop.


The Spanish convoy commander decides to talk peacefully and diplomatically, and the convoy was redirected to a planned path set by the Japanese Commander of the region and sent away, the cargo never reaching it's intended recipient.


War in Indochina Turn 26 Part 3


At this point, all the French could do was run, run as far away as possible from the pursuing Japanese and their air-force, the ones too close to shore bombarded by warships or surrendered, meanwhile the Japanese troops simply solidified their gains, liberating all of Vietnam from French troops within the rest of the month.


French soldiers finally reach their destination in Phnom Penh, but refused to obey any further instructions as their will to fight was utterly destroyed in the past six months of terrible loss after loss seeing no respite, with nothing coming in from the seas and no factories to build war machines, their high commander dead and the top commander a mere lieutenant.


Reports of raping, pillaging and plundering have been reported by locals in Phnom Penh as French troops lose control of themselves.


Losses:


Japan: 


- 80,000 Infantry (10,000 KIA, 70,000 WIA)


- 30 A6M, 20 Ki-27s, 30 D3As, 10 B5Ns and 20 G4M
