Age of Conquest Reborn

~-~

General Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, brought more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar. In the days that followed, Ito was waiting for news from the mainland. Whether it was good or bad, he was prepared.

After spending decades in the Imperial Army, Ito knew how big of a mistake he had made.

But after waiting for a few days, nothing happened. There was no order from the base camp to deal with him, nor was there any news about sending someone to take his place. Ito felt unsure and muttered that he did not dare to disobey His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp.

Ordered to evacuate northern Myanmar, such a big thing passed without a trace.

Not to mention anything else, Lieutenant General Takemura Yamaichi, the former Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Forces who was dismissed and imprisoned by him, was sent back to the mainland by him after arriving in Yangon. This guy must have a grudge against him, in front of the big men at the base camp.

He has a good face and doesn't speak well of himself. Such calmness is definitely not normal.

Ito couldn't sit still anymore, and used various connections to find out the base camp's attitude towards him. Strangely, no news came back at all. This made Ito feel like his days were like a year. He still hadn't taken a deep breath. China Devil Tang Qiu

Li's hundreds of thousands of troops were approaching Yangon again. He had to temporarily put aside his heart-wrenching irritability and brace himself to deal with the huge pressure from the ** division troops.

When he calmed down, Ito went over the events from the retreat from Mandalay to the retreat to Yangon. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The defeat of Mogok was the result of his own luck.

, I can't blame others, but what happened in Mandalay made Ito think about the bitter taste.

According to his situation and battlefield situation at the time, it was entirely possible for the ** Division troops to flank Mandalay to cut off his southward retreat and encircle the dispatched troops on the line from Libao to Mandalay. However, Tang Qiuli did not

In this way, you can intercept and kill your own ** division troops, but only encircle and annihilate the four divisions you sent to guard, and then allow more than 200,000 imperial soldiers to retreat southward calmly.

What happened next was even more unbelievable. The 1st Division aviation force, which had the air superiority, only attacked the Imperial Army's rearguard. If intensive bombing along the way was to blow up all the bridges, it would not be necessary to slow down the Imperial Army's retreat.

In three days, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Japanese Army surged up like a tide.

The dispatched troops can only continue to retreat southward by fighting and retreating, blocking every layer of attacks. If this is the case, how many of the imperial troops who have retreated to Yangon will be left? Ito himself doesn’t know. However, all this should happen naturally.

The battle did not happen. The ambush and pursuit troops that I judged did not appear.

Based on Ito's understanding of Tang Qiuli, he didn't think that this ruthless China devil would make such an obvious and low-level mistake. After putting together what happened before and after Ito, after careful consideration, he came to the conclusion that this was

It's a cat-and-mouse game. Unfortunately, he and more than 200,000 imperial soldiers are the mice in this game.

After coming to this conclusion, Ito was so depressed that he almost yelled, "Tang Qiuli, you Chinese devil. What are you going to do?" In fact, Ito knew best that Tang Qiuli let himself go on purpose. In other words, Ito knew best.

, Tang Qiuli did not regard himself as an opponent, and the feeling of being despised by his opponent was undoubtedly a huge shame for Ito, who had a high self-esteem.

This feeling of shame was like a dull knife, cutting into his spirit and soul, making him so depressed that he almost spurted blood. However, he could not understand why Tang Qiuli, the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire, was doing this.

Do, what does he want to do, what is his conspiracy and intention? Is it to enjoy the pleasure of insulting an imperial general and more than 200,000 brave imperial soldiers?

From a purely military point of view, the Imperial Southeast Asia Expedition Force no longer exists. It was encircled and annihilated in Mandalay, and all of them were in pieces. However, I and my soldiers are well in Yangon City. This is all because of China.

Given by the devil, being given a chance to live by his opponents and enemies in this way, Ito had the urge to commit suicide by caesarean section immediately.

He couldn't figure out Tang Qiuli's intentions and intentions, and he didn't know what the base camp was going to do with him. These two huge mysteries lingered in Ito's heart, torturing the majestic Imperial Japanese Army General.

Ito was neurotic. Even if Ito was possessed by Amaterasu, he would not know that Tang Qiuli's intention of letting him go was actually very simple. He was just like a mad dog, biting Americans, nothing more.

In Japan, as Ito guessed, there was absolutely no peace. There were two completely different opinions in the base camp regarding any treatment of Ito. Mainly from the naval side, Ito advocated severe punishment for disobeying the enemy and refusing to implement His Majesty the Emperor's plan for the Burma Campaign.

, what he did has tarnished the emperor's honor.

Removing him from his post, investigating him, imprisoning him for life, and not shooting him was already based on his past merits, so he was extra merciful. The army would certainly not agree to severely punish such a theater commander, and let the navy guys take the opportunity to kill him.

A general, although there are many factions within the army, fighting each other. Takemura Sanichi, who had been in prison for several days, did not say anything good about Ito, and even made a jealous complaint.

But once it came to the fight with the navy, they immediately stopped their efforts and unanimously spoke to the outside world. Even Takemura, who hated Ito to the bone, was called by several big bosses, and even persuaded, warned, and threatened, and told

Takemura, "This is not a disagreement within the Army, but a matter of competing with the Navy for dominance in the war. You have to think clearly about what to say and what is best left to rot in your stomach."

Takemura finally understood that even if Ito was a complete bastard, at this time, he still had to praise his bad feet in front of the big bosses of the navy. This was not the time to step on dog paws, or after the superficial lawsuit with the navy was over.

, we raised the old accounts again, and when Emperor Hirohito held another imperial meeting to discuss how to deal with Ito, Lieutenant General Takemura Yamaichi, who wished he had dug up the ancestral grave of the Ito family, suddenly transformed into a witness and participant in that battle.

It should be admitted that Lieutenant General Takemura Yamaichi, who has been doing map work, has a very solid theoretical foundation and a good eloquence. In order to increase his persuasiveness, he also personally drew a battlefield situation map, talking and gesticulating, and expressing his emotions.

, evolved Ito into a man who was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, risking his disobedience to military orders and ruining his reputation to dispatch troops to Southeast Asia who were in extreme danger, bringing out the image of a born hero.

Finally, Takemura almost choked and said: "To sum up, as the chief of staff of the dispatched army at the time, I fiercely opposed Ito-kun's decision to withdraw south to Yangon. For this reason, a fierce conflict broke out between us. Afterwards,

After calming down and thinking carefully, Ito-kun's decision was correct, and he preserved the strength of the Japanese Empire."

Wu Cun wiped away the non-existent tears and continued to speak impassionedly: "I also think, if it were me, what would I do? The answer is, I will continue to carry out the orders of the base camp and will not retreat south, because

, I don’t have Ito-kun’s courage and selfless spirit. He is a true samurai and the pride of our army.”

"But what will be the consequences? The Empire's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force will all be shattered in Mandalay, and the Imperial Army's vitality will be severely damaged. Then, today's Yang~~--Network update~~ light will be without a trace.

The situation of an empty city with only defensible troops may have fallen into the hands of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli at this moment, and our Empire of Japan will lose an important bridgehead."

It should be said that Takemura is a first-class actor, with excellent acting skills and eloquence. Of course, the Navy will not completely believe Takemura's hype, but there is no evidence to refute it. If Ito is forced to be punished, I am afraid that even His Majesty the Emperor will not agree.

, several big bosses of the navy could only sigh secretly, "The efforts to compete for the dominance of the empire's foreign wars have been in vain again."

In his heart, Emperor Hirohito knew the causes and consequences of the Burma battlefield better than that general. The order he personally issued to dispatch troops to Southeast Asia to implement the Burma battle plan was originally a difficult task for Ito. The imperial troops on the Burma battlefield, whether

Both the troops and the equipment were inferior to the troops of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli, so the battle was extremely difficult.

However, who can understand my worries? Those greedy and selfish Americans see the benefits and pounce on them with red eyes. Who can guarantee that they will not get in behind the imperial army’s deployment to Southeast Asia?

Yida, in order to avoid the imperial army being in danger of being attacked from both sides, he insisted on launching the Burma Campaign against the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli.

In hindsight, I was too impatient and hasty, which is why Ito disobeyed orders and made things difficult for Ito. Now it's better. Shintaro Nakamura has brought new information. Americans will not intervene in the Southeast Asian war. Their nature

Yes, they were afraid of a war with the powerful Japanese Empire. In other words, they would never take the initiative to fight themselves if the empire fought against them.

Ever since Emperor Hirohito received Nakamura's intelligence, he despised the Americans from the bottom of his heart. They were just a piece of fat meat without bones and could be cut with a knife at any time. The empire's troops in Southeast Asia could safely and boldly fight against the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.

troops fought.

Hirohito coughed lightly, and the attention of the Japanese military and political leaders who attended the imperial meeting immediately focused on him. Hirohito said in his usual slow and cold tone: "What happened is already obvious, and there is no need to argue anymore.

Ito was willing to take risks and improvise, thus avoiding heavy losses to the Imperial Army. Who among you here has such courage?"

No one spoke, and Hirohito continued: "The empire will dispatch troops to Southeast Asia without making any personnel adjustments. Moreover, the troops and equipment will need to be strengthened and supplemented. Yangon must be defended. The empire cannot lose such an important strategic point and this important task.

It’s better for Ito-kun to take the responsibility!”

Hirohito's few words basically set the tone. The battle situation in Yangon is developing in the direction that Tang Qiuli is worried about.~-~
