Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1,585 The plot against Stilwell

The two brigades of the Japanese Takako Regiment launched an attack on the front line of the Calais Mountains to block the 18th Regiment of the 5th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. Like a summer rainstorm, they came and went quickly. After occupying the U.S. front-line positions

After that, they gave up again and all retreated to their original positions.

The Takako Regiment played this cat-and-mouse game several times a day. The Japanese army, from officers to ordinary soldiers, called this game "hunting," and the prey was of course the American soldiers on the opposite side.

However, because the US artillery was careless and knocked down the flag of the 51st Regiment, which angered the commander of the regiment, Colonel Takako, today's attack was more than twice as powerful as every day, and the ferocity of the attack was even greater.

Each time more than once, the corresponding casualties caused to the 18th U.S. Regiment were much higher.

All the officers and soldiers of the 18th U.S. Regiment understood why this happened. Only Stilwell did not understand. Seeing the casualties of the U.S. soldiers, he had some doubts about what his adjutant, Major Higgs, had told him about the 18th Regiment.

In terms of regimental casualties, if every Japanese attack was of this intensity, the casualties of the soldiers should be huge.

However, from the perspective of an experienced commander, the cause of troop casualties was not only the intensity of the Japanese attack. A large part of the reason was that the fortifications of the 18th Regiment were poorly built and unreasonably laid out.

Not to mention, in Stilwell's view, the regiment commander, Colonel Albert, was just coping with the situation and was simply making fun of the lives of the soldiers.

Stilwell's anger was transferred from the dazzling Japanese flag to the fortifications of his own unit. He looked at Captain Albert with a stern look and said: "Colonel Albert, as a regimental commander,

Are you the one who ordered your subordinates to build fortifications like this? Even the most basic common sense issues can be ignored, and the lives of many soldiers will be lost in vain because of such poor fortifications!"

"I will not allow a commander to have such a poor performance on the battlefield. I will never allow it! Commander Albert, as the commander, I order you to immediately strengthen and rebuild the fortifications. Here, we need to dig eight more holes."

Ten centimeters, over there, on the route where the Japanese army can charge, build a right-angled anti-infantry trench, and several more firepower points need to be added!"

When talking about purely military issues, Stilwell unconsciously entered the role. He stood up and, in front of Captain Albert, talked about the basic points of building fortifications and the issues that need attention.

wait.

Colonel Albert, on the other hand, was anxious. The ferocious attack by the Japanese army just now frightened him to death. He also knew that the trouble was caused by those twenty rounds of artillery shells, so he quickly killed the commander who caused the trouble.

After the official sent him away, everything would return to normal. As for what Stilwell said about how to build fortifications, etc., he didn't hear a word at all.

Before Stilwell could take a breath, Albert hurriedly said: "Yes, your Excellency, Commander, the staff department has made a note of it, and we must improve and strengthen the fortifications according to your requirements. It is too dangerous here, so I still ask you to

Go back to the division headquarters?"

Albert is telling the truth, there is no hypocrisy at all. The forward position is so close to the Japanese position. If something unexpected happens and the commander encounters an unexpected event on the position of his regiment, then he

The only choice is to go to a military court! This cowboy general has no personal feelings for me at all, but I definitely don’t want him to affect my future!

Colonel Albert was really anxious, but to Stilwell's ears, it sounded too perfunctory. Stilwell rejected him without hesitation and said: "Captain Albert, in the first

I will not leave until the fortifications on the 18th Regiment's position are completely improved and reinforced. It is safe there. Nowhere is safe on the battlefield. The position of the soldiers is where the sound of gunfire is heard!

"

Albert swallowed anxiously, feeling helpless. This unpopular commander had begun to have a stubborn temper again.

And what Chu Tian saw in the high-power artillery mirror was a group of people surrounding Stilwell, gesticulating on the position.

At first, Chu Tian didn't know what the group of people were doing, nor did he know what Stilwell would do when he was lying on the battlefield observing the American soldiers after being attacked. After seeing a group of people, Chu Tian

Instinctively, I concluded that it was a group of US military officers, so I secretly took it into consideration, and slowly adjusted the focus of the artillery mirror back and forth, and the target gradually became clearer in my sight.

Suddenly, Chu Tian's heart trembled, and his breathing became a little short. He could see that Stilwell was among the group of officers. Although it was not very real, the general outline was definitely unmistakable. Chu Tian had seen Stilwell.

, when Stilwell, following MacArthur's order, rushed to Yangon to meet with the division commander to discuss the "Operation Tiger Shark Plan", Chutian led a special operations detachment, together with Shan Hu's security brigade, to take charge of the security of the meeting site.

Security work.

Chu Tian, ​​who had only met him once and had received strict training, remembered all of Stilwell's characteristics in his heart. After confirming again, he adjusted his emotions and tried to calm down.

Chu Tian faced a choice. This was the best opportunity to kill Stilwell. It was very simple. Send the coordinates of Stilwell's current location to the Japanese artillery. As long as a single artillery fire covered the area where the bomb fell, no one could survive.

Come down.

However, Chu Tian still couldn't make up his mind. He borrowed the help of the Japanese to get rid of Stilwell without anyone noticing, without any sequelae. But from another perspective, once Stilwell was killed, the U.S. military in the Calais Mountains would

Will the troops collapse on the front line because of this? Will it affect the division commander's strategic plan? You know, one of your decisions can change the situation of the Luzon Island war!

Chu Tian's hesitation lasted only a moment. He had already decided to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Just when Chu Tian hesitated, he remembered what his division commander said, "After the Japanese were defeated, if the strength of the Americans had not suffered a major blow,

In the case of losses, our ultimate opponent in the South Pacific will be the Americans, because the Americans will never be willing to let such a rich land fall into the hands of the Chinese. A final battle with the Americans will be

Inevitable!”

It was the words of the division commander that prompted Chu Tian to make up his mind. To a certain extent, Stilwell would be a powerful opponent of the army in the future. The opportunity could not be missed. The murderous intention in Chu Tian's heart could not be suppressed.

spread.

Colonel Takataka noticed the change in Chu Tian and asked in surprise: "Fujino-kun, what did you see? What surprised you so much? If it is Americans, there is no need. After every attack by the imperial army, they did the biggest thing."

One of the things I do is burying corpses and carrying away wounded soldiers. I'm used to it. By the way, my men captured dozens of American prisoners of war. Don't you want your sword to be stained with the blood of the enemy?"

Colonel Takako's words were very explicit. He wanted Chu Tian to go with him to kill several American prisoners of war. In the opinion of Colonel Takako, this was the best way to entertain the captain of the imperial guard. There was no better way to entertain the captain of the imperial guard than to kill the prisoners of war.

head, watching the fear of the prisoners of war before their death, watching the bright red blood splashing in front of their eyes, it is even more exciting, or in other words, it is a kind of fun!

Chu Tian cursed in his heart, "All the little devils have the same virtues, they are all pure perverted murderers," but he said, "Your Majesty Colonel, what I saw is more attractive than cutting off the heads of prisoners of war!

"

"Oh!" Colonel Takashi Takajiro raised his short eyebrows and gave a surprised look. He looked not very interested. Chu Tian turned around and said, "Sir Colonel, take a look at the group of people on the U.S. military position opposite.

According to my judgment, it must be the commander of the US military. If the artillery of the imperial army suddenly covers that area with artillery fire, what do you think will be the effect?"

Colonel Takajiro reacted quickly. After listening to Chu Tian's words, he rushed to the artillery mirror and only glanced at it for a few times. When he turned around, his face turned red with excitement. Of course, he had never seen Stilwell and did not know him.

There, however, Captain Fujino's judgment was not wrong. A group of US military officers was certain. Killing many ordinary American soldiers was not as significant as killing a few commanders!

Takataka didn't even have time to talk to Chutian, and rushed to the phone, "I am Colonel Takatakajiro, the commander of the regiment. Now, I order the forward artillery observation post to determine the target position and coordinates. All the artillery of the field artillery brigade of the regiment will be dispatched immediately.

Be prepared for artillery fire coverage, I repeat, it is artillery fire coverage, use up all the artillery shells you have stored, and turn that area into a place of death!"

Chu Tian suddenly shuddered. This Japs, Kojiro Taka, was so ruthless. He was going to kill Stilwell's body. A field artillery brigade, with more than twenty medium-caliber artillery, fired all the shells. I'm afraid

There are nearly a thousand hairs, right?

Five or six minutes later, a scream of artillery shells piercing the air passed over the shelter. Chu Tian hurriedly picked up the telescope. As for the high-power artillery team scope, Colonel Takako had taken over it without hesitation.

"Boom boom boom!" There was an earth-shaking loud noise, and Chu Tian saw that right where Stilwell and a group of US military officers were standing just now, the explosion points of the artillery shells were one after another, and thick earth pillars were fired one after another.

Rising from the ground, filled with gunpowder smoke, flashing firelight, and stirred up soil and gravel, the area covered by artillery fire turned into a hell of death.

Chutian put down the telescope and closed his eyes. He felt unspeakable in his heart. He knew very well that after the bombardment, not even a complete body could be found in the craters everywhere. Stilwell would not be spared. The famous American generals in the area

, unexpectedly died here, not on the battlefield of a head-on confrontation, but because of a conspiracy, and the culprit was none other than himself.

I don't know why, Chu Tian didn't feel any excitement in his heart, but more of a sense of confusion!
