Age of Conquest Reborn

Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta, the former commander of the Fourteenth Army of the Japanese South Pacific Expeditionary Force responsible for attacking the U.S. military on Luzon Island, and his immediate boss, General Genzaburo Ito, suffered a blow from Ito due to differences in tactics.

After violent training, in the end, Beito was sent to the front line to serve as a division commander.

Looking at Haruta Yoshihiko's back, holding his neck as he walked away, Ito's expression changed again. He knew that Haruta was not convinced and wanted to stop him. He endured it and swallowed the breath. Now is not the time to deal with this guy.

.

When he turned to look at Kawashima, his face was already full of kindness, and he asked in a consultative tone: "Kawashima-kun, according to your judgment, under such a fierce attack by our Imperial Japanese Army, the American army

Commander MacArthur, is it still possible to deploy battle traps?"

Kawashima said bluntly: "Commander-in-Chief, it is very possible that Manila on Luzon Island is the location of the US military headquarters and a symbol of the Americans in the South Pacific. Once it is captured by our Imperial Japanese Army, what will it mean to the US military?

Total defeat, therefore, it is impossible for the Americans to give up Manila easily, and it is most likely to hold on to death!"

"What I'm worried about now is our military strength. The Fourteenth Army has 130,000 people, while the US Army has 280,000 people, which is more than double the strength of the Imperial Army. I have no doubt that Manila will eventually fall.

into the hands of the Japanese Empire. However, during the entire battle, the difficulty and intensity of it, Commander-in-Chief, we have to take it into consideration!"

"Now, our South Pacific Expeditionary Force is a four-pronged attack force. The attack targets are separated by the sea and the battlefield is divided, which makes them more comparable. Once the Fourteenth Army takes over the entire Luzon Island, it will fall to other attacks.

Behind the troops, Commander-in-Chief, it will be a big loss to your reputation!"

Ito nodded repeatedly, not concealing his admiration for Kawashima. He said: "Kaname, what Kawashima-kun said makes sense. I am too impatient. In this case, Kawashima-kun, immediately order the commander-in-chief of the dispatched troops stationed in Singapore.

The reserves, the 96th Division, the 3rd and 5th Brigades, will immediately join the battlefield on Luzon Island to ensure that we have enough troops to encircle and annihilate MacArthur's troops on Luzon Island!"

Kawashima hesitated and said: "Commander-in-Chief, this is a good way to solve our shortage of troops. However, the general reserve force of the dispatched army is to guard against Tang Qiuli's army and is stationed in Singapore. Once it is transferred to Lu

On the Songdao battlefield, Singapore's troops are empty, and Tang Qiuli's troops take the opportunity to attack Singapore. How should we respond?"

Ito waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Kawashima-kun is overthinking. Even if the general reserve team is not mobilized, do you think that these troops alone can stop Tang Qiuli's troops from attacking Singapore? Obviously not.

What's more, Tang Qiuli will not launch an attack on Singapore at the moment. He has two corps with more than 300,000 troops in Kuala Lumpur. If he wanted to fight, he would have fought long ago! Why wait until now?"

At this point, he continued with some melancholy: "If Tang Qiuli insists on attacking Singapore, we will not be able to defend it. It is even less likely that the empire will give up the current attack target and mobilize its troops to deal with Tang Qiuli's troops. Singapore's springboard

The role has been lost. If the Chinese devil wants it, just give it to him, and the Kondo detachment can stay in Singapore!"

When Ito said these words, the helplessness and melancholy were like poisonous snakes, biting his heart fiercely. If possible, he would never give up Singapore. It is a strategic location that guards the boundary between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It can be used as a choke point to attack the South Pacific islands, and why not it can also be used as a bridgehead to attack the Indochina Peninsula!

However, that China devil would not allow Singapore to become a knife stuck in the chest of Indochina. Tang Qiuli couldn't do it, and Ito himself couldn't. At this time, Ito had already vaguely guessed that Tang Qiuli deliberately The purpose of leaving Singapore to the Japanese Empire is that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, Ito secretly sneered in his heart.

As of June 4th, the fighting was still fierce on the battlefields of the Pacific Islands. Although the US military was retreating steadily, it had been operating in this area for many years and had a certain foundation. After the initial chaos, organizations were successively organized in various battlefields. Limited resistance was provided, but this was far from enough. Faced with the ferocious attack by the Japanese army, the US military's resistance became powerless.

At the rear headquarters of the Rangoon ** Division, Tang Qiuli, who was paying attention to the Pacific battlefield, received fragmented information about the battlefield, including the progress of each battlefield, how much combat power the US military still had, and the Japanese attack. Whether the momentum is still fierce, the degree of troop losses on both sides, etc., it is impossible to piece together a complete picture of the fighting situation.

Yu Deshui's intelligence office did its best to collect all-round battlefield intelligence. However, the intelligence network did not cover the entire fighting area, and the intelligence collected was one-sided and incomplete. Tang Qiuli was unable to make the final decision on the battlefield situation. An accurate judgment will inevitably affect his next action plan, and the staff at the division headquarters can clearly feel his inner anxiety.

If it were still the Pacific War in history, Tang Qiuli could know the process and outcome even with his eyes closed. Unfortunately, it was not the Pacific War after he stirred up trouble. It was very different from historical records. "Could it be that he brought it upon himself?" "Tang Qiuli laughed at himself with a wry smile.

There is another question that bothers him. The Japanese army has been attacking for four days. Why has MacArthur not sent a telegram to him asking for help? The Japanese army is entering and exiting this time with elite troops. Moreover, there is only one main strategic direction of attack. According to conventional judgment, it is impossible for the US military to support it. Until now, because historically, two days after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army completely took control of the South Pacific islands.

However, the current battlefield situation shows that MacArthur is commanding the US military and is still fighting against the Japanese army. What is this guy's trump card and reliance? What defensive methods the US military has adopted, and the US government has also remained surprisingly silent. Could it be that MacArthur's hand Is there a trump card that is enough to contain the Japanese offensive? These are all things Tang Qiuli needs to know!

On the afternoon of June 4th, Tang Qiuli was in the office, picking out the information that he thought was valuable from hundreds of pieces of information, and sorting it into categories in order to sort out a clue.

The huge desk was covered with telegram papers. Not only was he busy, Mei Xue, Liu Xinlan, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, Chief of Staff Ge Zhenzhuang, and Battelle were all doing the same work. , as well as the confidential correspondents of the Intelligence Analysis Center of the Intelligence Department, constantly sending newly received intelligence to the division commander's office.

Tang Qiuli had no choice but to do it himself if he wanted to find what he needed. At this time, Shan Hu came in, interrupted everyone's work, put down his work, and looked at Shan Hu strangely.

Because when Tang Qiuli decided to personally screen the information, he originally counted Shan Hu as one man. Unexpectedly, when Shan Hu saw this large amount of information, he complained that his head hurt. Then, regardless of Tang Qiuli's arrangement, Shan Hu

, fled in despair, and now he is here on his own. Could it be that he saw everyone working hard and was embarrassed to stand by and help?

Tang Qiuli raised his head and asked deliberately: "Why, Huzi, seeing everyone so busy, I couldn't bear it, so I thought of taking the initiative to help? Or maybe it was because of my conscience that I took the initiative to show it?"

Shan Hu looked at the piles of information, grinned, and said: "Such a large division headquarters compound has multiple security tasks! I can't get away. By the way, division commander, Chu Tian is here, right at the door.

I’m waiting for your summons!”

Tang Qiuli was very surprised. Why did Chutian come to him for no reason? Now, the special operations detachment has no combat mission and is training in Mandalay. He came all the way here. What is the urgent matter? "

Well, let him come in!" Tang Qiuli said.

Immediately after Shan Hu went out, a capable colonel officer stepped through the door. He had a neat military appearance and was fully armed. With every move he made, the aura of a soldier hit his face. Tang Qiuli smiled appreciatively and said, "It's Chu Tian."

, come, sit here, orderly! Make a cup of tea!"

However, Chu Tian did not sit down. He glanced at everyone in the room, then stood at attention with a snap. After saluting, he loudly said: "Sir, Chu Tian has taken the liberty to come here to disturb you. He is here to invite you to fight!"

Tang Qiuli was stunned and asked strangely: "I said Chutian, the most important task of all the troops now is to carry out targeted training. If there is no battle, what kind of battle are you asking for? It's inexplicable! Isn't this nonsense?

!" After saying that, he glared at Chu Tian and thought to himself: "Could this guy Chu Tian be obsessed with wanting to fight?"

Chu Tian met Tang Qiuli's eyes without fear, and said calmly: "Commander, Chu Tian is not acting on a whim or messing around, but on behalf of all the soldiers of the special operations detachment, he requested the division commander to form several small teams.

Sneak into various battlefields where the Japanese and American troops fought, go deep into the battlefield, and obtain detailed and practical first-hand intelligence for the division commander to solve doubts and make decisions!"

In an instant, Tang Qiuli fully understood Chu Tian's intention. He didn't know how Chu Tian found out about the fact that he was agitated because he could not obtain accurate information. He came here to solve a problem for himself.

He was truly a loyal and attentive subordinate, and he had not misjudged him. However, Tang Qiuli could not let Chu Tian and the special operations detachment take this risk no matter what, even if this information was extremely important to him.

In the Pacific island battlefields, the number of troops participating in the war between the United States and Japan exceeded 16.7 million, and the space on the battlefield was so large. With such dense troops and firepower, one can imagine how cruel the battlefield was.

Special forces are also human beings. They are not invulnerable gods of war. In the rain of bullets and artillery fire, the lives of the soldiers are equally fragile. What's more, obtaining similar intelligence is not just a channel. Tang Qiuli's heart already has

Decide!
