as u can see the allied army has advanced deep into the malayan peninsula, and elements r advancing into indochina
due to the abundance of rail networks i dont need to remind every1 that if an attack is made on the flanks i can quickly send forces to relieve the defenders
its worth the risk i think...
i intend to retake the malayan peninsula, and singapore, and with combined operations from the RAF and my force of BBs and Formiddable and Hermes, along with the BC repulse
i intend to form a blockade around the malayan peninsula, to prevent the japs from reinforcing or evactuating their troops
i intend to sweep down thru malaya with overwhelming force just as the japs did at the outbreak of the war and deal the japs heavy casualties in troops, ships, and AC
there are over 150000 troops in this theater, along with several hundred AC
im not exactly worried....
after the peninsula is secured, i intend to turn them around and have them advance into indochina and put sum pressure on the japs in china, which will enable to chinese forces to launch an offensive of their own...
