History
The 25th Army, under Tomoyuki Yamashita and his deputies, stormed through the Malayan Peninsula, with bicycles, tanks and infantry. With running battles against the British Indian Army, Australians and British personnel, it would result in one of Britain's crushing defeats in the Pacific Theatre of the Second World War, with the surrender at Singapore.
Subsequently, the 25th Army was stationed in the Malayan Peninsula, set to garrison the Empire of Japan's newly conquered territory, where they stayed for the next 20 years. It was during these 20 years that the 25th Army slowly grew lax in it's garrisoning duties, resulting in their ranks mostly staffed by Malayan collaborators.
