Age of Conquest Reborn

As a relatively senior senior general of the U.S. Army, and has been working in the Army leadership organization, Lieutenant General Harrison, the new commander of the U.S. Second Army, knows very well what his seemingly strong group army with more than 140,000 troops, land, sea and air is.

Such gold content.

Among the eight divisions of the group army, the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 1st infantry divisions were newly formed. Their predecessors were the National Guards of various states and were upgraded. These soldiers were still the same as yesterday.

Ordinary people who are half-military and half-civilian will put on formal military uniforms and become members of the U.S. Army today, including battalion and company-level officers, who have never been on the battlefield.

Even some division and regiment-level commanders were transferred from the reserves. Like the soldiers they commanded, they had no idea what a battlefield was. And the training level of the National Guard, in Lieutenant General Harrison's view, was described as appalling.

, very appropriate, it was a group of ordinary people wearing military uniforms who simply learned to shoot. In fact, Lieutenant General Harrison himself had no experience in commanding large-scale battles.

The conditions of the 9th and 10th Mechanized Infantry Divisions are somewhat better. After all, they are permanent units of the U.S. Army, but just being put on the battlefield like this is not enough. The 9th and 10th Divisions are shelf divisions.

In normal times, the full strength of the troops is less than 5,000 per division. However, the number of troops was temporarily increased to more than 13,000 per division.

The additional soldiers also come from the National Guards of each state. In other words, the two mechanized infantry divisions have only about one-third of their full strength in the two mechanized infantry divisions.

After experiencing the baptism of gunpowder on the battlefield, a group of veterans who have never fought in a war are leading a group of recruits who have just learned how to shoot. How high can such combat effectiveness be?

The only ones with real combat effectiveness are the 3rd and 5th Marine Divisions. Each division has more than 16,000 soldiers. Not to mention the full number of soldiers and good equipment, the usual training level is higher than that of several newly formed infantrymen.

It is several times more than the division. Moreover, it has also fought against Germany in the European battlefield. It has actual combat experience. It is a force that has truly smelled the smoke of gunpowder and experienced life and death.

If he hadn't happened to be rotated back to China, Lieutenant General Harrison believed that he would still not be able to command these two divisions. However, there was one biggest problem. The 9th and 12th Marine Divisions were affiliated with the Navy, and

, the combat methods, command system, and various habits are far different from those of the army. On the battlefield, Lieutenant General Harrison cannot guarantee that they can exert their maximum combat effectiveness!

The only consolation is that the weapons and equipment of the Second Army are currently the most advanced in the United States. Some types of artillery and tanks are not even equipped for the troops fighting against Germany on the European battlefield. The Second Army can be said to be the most advanced.

It was the tower near the water that gained the moon first, but this did not bring much confidence to Lieutenant General Harrison. No matter how good the weapons and equipment were, they still had to rely on soldiers.

After taking stock of the assets of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Harrison lacked confidence and felt a cold breeze on the back of his head. He commanded the 140,000 troops with only half the normal combat effectiveness in the vast area of ​​​​the Eastern Pacific, and tens of thousands of troops.

tens of thousands

I went in and tried my best, it was a bit too suspenseful!

The quality of soldiers is a major problem, and the morale of the troops is even more worrying. Two fully-manned divisions of the Marine Corps were destroyed in the Hawaiian Islands.

There were only a few soldiers left, which in itself caused great pressure on the soldiers' psychology.

I am invincible, and the atmosphere in the country is even more exaggerated.

The terrible thing about i.

Not long ago, a close friend of Lieutenant General Harrison called and told him in a panic, "On the balcony of his villa outside the capital, Washington, he saw with his own eyes, dozens of

A Japanese plane passed overhead, and, according to reliable information,

I have already landed in San Francisco and Los Angeles on the east coast and are attacking the west coast. The sound of artillery will soon be heard in the capital Washington!"

Of course, Lieutenant General Harrison scoffed at these words of his old friend, thinking they were pure rumors. He was in Los Angeles on the east coast, the gathering place of the Second Army. If

How can I still answer his calls so safely after logging into my ibook?

But the information revealed on the phone from his old friend made Lieutenant General Harrison even more worried. The people were panicking and full of the feeling of impending disaster. Isn't it just when they were facing

Is this attack a sign of lack of confidence? Especially since this old friend of mine is a senator from a state. Even the senators are in such a panic. The general public is afraid that the psychological panic will be even worse!

With such popular support, low troop morale, and poor soldier quality, I am afraid that my Second Army will become a

After thinking about the target of the massacre of Japanese soldiers, Lieutenant General Harrison couldn't sit still and immediately took a plane and rushed to Washington to meet with General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

As soon as he entered General Jefferfield's office, Lieutenant General Harrison said bluntly, "Your Excellency, Mr. Chairman, I have a request today. Can the Second Army's departure to the Hawaiian Islands battlefield be postponed for three months?"

Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, Admiral Jefferfield, who was obviously getting older, could not help but frown and asked in displeasure: "General Harrison, why are you making such an unreasonable request? The war on the Hawaiian Islands cannot be tolerated.

Be optimistic. The 5th and 6th Marine Divisions are already exhausted and their troops have been reduced by more than three-quarters. If there are no more reinforcements, the entire army will be annihilated. At this time, you have to postpone your departure.

time?"

"Once the Hawaiian Islands are lost, they will fall

With this book in hand, the door to the east coast of our continental United States will be opened. General Harrison, can you bear this responsibility? No matter what the reason is, the time for the Second Army to go to the Hawaiian Islands battlefield must not be changed. This is also

What does Mr. President mean!”

Lieutenant General Harrison was stunned by Admiral Jefferfield's strong words. He was very puzzled in his heart. Why did Mr. Chairman, who has always been good-tempered, smell like gunpowder when he opened his mouth? What he said was shocking.

enter!

In fact, Admiral Jefferfield also had his own difficulties. Since the outbreak of the Pacific War,

i In the face of the fierce offensive, the U.S. military was restrained at every turn. Your Excellency, the general, was so busy that he was as exhausted as a firefighting team member.

On Luzon Island, MacArthur's more than 300,000 troops were in a very unfavorable situation. Especially after the death of former Chief of Staff General Stilwell, few generals of the Southwest Pacific Force were capable of fighting. MacArthur was unable to survive alone, but the battle situation was different.

We have to hold on and lose Luzon. Next, Australia will be lost, and by extension, the entire Southwest Pacific region!

On the Eastern Pacific battlefield, cities and territory were lost one after another, and reports came in frequently.

I have already reached my doorstep. On the European battlefield, the American and British coalition forces are in a difficult situation under the fierce attack of the Germans. There are three battlefields, and I don’t have to worry about any of them. Your Excellency, the President, is engaged in politics.

He is a master who can command troops, but he is a layman. But at this moment, Harrison, who does not know the depth of the situation, comes to cause trouble again. How can General Jefferfield not be furious!

Looking at Lieutenant General Harrison's flushed face, General Jefferfield probably felt that his words were a bit too much, so he softened his tone and said: "Dear Harrison, you also know that the situation we are facing now, the Supreme Command

, place all your hopes on the Second Army. Tell me, why do you want to delay the departure of the troops? Hasn’t the Second Army already been assembled? "

Harrison sighed, reported the truth about the situation of the troops he had learned, and finally said: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, my Second Army needs time to conduct intensive training, reorganize, and become familiar with the interactions between various arms.

Three months of cooperation and combined training is far from enough, but I only ask for three months to at least allow the soldiers to have the ability to protect themselves!"

"I also know that the Hawaiian Islands battlefield is in danger and the Marine Corps is in urgent need of reinforcements. However, I cannot bring hundreds of thousands of untrained soldiers onto the battlefield. This is an irresponsible approach to the lives of soldiers.

As their commander, I cannot do this! Therefore, I implore the Chairman to forward my opinions to Mr. President and approve my request!"

How could General Jefferfield be unclear about what Lieutenant General Harrison said? But what the United States lacks now is time.

I was at the right time and the right place, catching the United States off guard. The United States, which focused all its attention on Europe, was already in a hurry due to the sudden change. The Second Army was now able to capture

The strongest military force to take action.

After losing the Hawaiian Islands, the actual commander of the US Army, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Jefferfield, probably had no choice but to commit suicide in order to thank the country for joining the country. "Pop!" General Jefferfield hit the table with his palm.

He said with a sudden change of color: "No, the departure time of the Second Army cannot be delayed for even a minute. General Harrison, you rush back to the army immediately and start organizing the troops to set off according to the original order. If something like this happens, I will

I don’t want to hear it either!”

June 21

i. Lieutenant General Harrison, frustrated and dejected, rushed back to Los Angeles from Washington. According to the order of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, under the escort of the newly formed Pacific Fleet, he commanded 140,000 U.S. troops, departed from the Port of Los Angeles and crossed the East Coast.

In the Pacific Ocean, heading to the Hawaiian Islands battlefield, no one thought that this would be the beginning of the bloodiest battle in the Pacific battlefield.

At the same time, at the Guangzhou Police District Hospital, Tang Qiuli was sitting in front of Chu Yao's bed, talking to Chu Yao who was already able to sit up half by himself. The content of the conversation was about the characteristics and character of each squad leader of the special operations detachment.

"Bang, bang, bang!" There was a knock on the ward door, Murong Xue opened the door, and Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe walked in with a telegram.
