Age of Conquest Reborn

Lieutenant General Nakano Yoshiki looked at these division commanders with a cold smile and said: "Gentlemen, I have received a report from the search force that American reinforcements have arrived and are about to land on Hawaii Island.

, a new battle is about to begin!"

Several Japanese division commanders all had expressions of eagerness to bleed. Nakano Yoshiki continued: "You guys complained before that I didn't order the imperial army to wipe out all the Americans on Hawaii Island? Now?

, I can tell you the truth, this is an order from the base camp, otherwise, do you think I, Nakano Yoshiki, will keep the lives of these Americans?"

Several Japanese division commanders were still confused as to what the necessary connection was between the order from the base camp and the elimination of the Americans on the island. In other words, it would be unnecessary to occupy all of Hawaii Island. If the Americans tried to recover it, wouldn't it be the same?

Eliminate large numbers of American soldiers?

Lieutenant General Nakano Yoshiki, not intending to explain too much, issued an order: "The troops of the Ninth Division, the Eleventh Division, the Sixteenth Division, and the Nineteenth Division immediately enter the starting point of the attack.

Waiting for the order to attack the US military reinforcements that have not yet stabilized their footing after the landing. Gentlemen, this will be a fierce battle. In order to ensure that the US military is not driven into the sea, it will fight back desperately. I hope you will not underestimate the enemy!

"

"However, our Imperial Army has a geographical advantage. The U.S. reinforcements have to travel a long distance, and their morale and physical strength will be at their lowest point. After more than ten days of fierce fighting on Hawaii Island, our Seventh Army finally compressed two U.S. divisions.

We arrived at the preset area just for today’s battle. In the ancient Chinese art of war, there is a classic offensive strategy called half-crossing attack. The time when we started to attack was when the American soldiers were wading ashore!"

As he spoke, Lieutenant General Nakano Ryogi showed a sinister smile on his face as if his plan had succeeded. He then said: "After all the hard work and sacrifice of many Imperial Army soldiers, we finally achieved the desired goal. That is what I chose for the Americans."

The landing site is still more than 2,000 meters away from the island. When the Americans landed, they were about to conduct a mid-crossing attack. Gentlemen, I have created the most advantageous fighter opportunity for you. Let’s see your performance next.

."

"The first round of attacks is mainly to kill and injure a large number of American soldiers. Take action, His Majesty the Emperor's generals. I am here. Waiting for the good news of your victory! The 21st and 23rd Divisions will serve as the second attack.

Bo, join the attack at the most critical moment of the battle!"

Several Japanese division commanders stood at attention and shouted in unison: "Ha Yi! I am willing to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" Then they turned around and walked away with murderous intent!

Nakano Yoshiki looked at a major general officer, put on a gentle smile, and said: "General Suzuki, your aviation force will dispatch all fighter planes before the army troops and launch an air strike against the landing US troops. You are not required to do so."

What a blow the planes have caused to the Americans. Just disrupt the rhythm of the Americans' landing, cause them psychological panic, and create favorable conditions for the army troops to attack!"

"What needs to be reminded is that the American escort fleet has three aircraft carriers. Those carrier-based aircraft will pose a great threat to your air warriors. The army strength and the imperial army exceed the Americans, but the number of aircraft is only

More than half of the Americans, I hope General Suzuki will notice this, your task is not only to attack the landing US troops, but also to cover our attacking troops!"

Major General Suzuki, commander of the Seventh Army Air Force, was obviously unconvinced. He waited for the shining bull's eye and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the warriors of the Air Force will not disappoint you. I will fly the aircraft myself."

Air, command the battle, maybe when the army troops rush up, they will only see the corpses of American soldiers everywhere, and they can only clean the battlefield!"

Commander Nakano Yoshiki was obviously very satisfied with Major General Suzuki's momentum. He laughed, patted Major General Suzuki on the shoulder, and said approvingly: "I believe in Suzuki-kun's ability and the combat effectiveness of the air force. I am very much looking forward to what you will bring."

Good news!”

After the senior commanders of the Japanese army left one after another, the tent seemed empty. Nakano Yoshiki complained to his chief of staff, Major General Shinto Konsaburo: "Nobuto-kun, I really don't understand. The navy is

What do you think? The combined fleet of General Yamamoto is in the waters near the Hawaiian Islands. According to normal understanding, the US military reinforcements should attack on their way to the Hawaiian Islands!"

"But General Yamamoto just stood still and left the pressure to our Seventh Army. The escort force of an entire fleet cannot be ignored. Even if we win this battle, it is impossible to completely wipe out the US troops landing on the island, and Suzuki's aviation

The team will suffer heavy losses. Alas, the Navy always acts regardless of the overall situation. Even people like Admiral Yamamoto are not immune to this!"

Chief of Staff Shinto was convinced, and took over the conversation and said: "The Eastern Pacific battlefield is originally a whole. Before that, in the name of the Seventh Army Headquarters, we also requested the combined fleet to carry out reinforcements from the US military on their way to the Hawaiian Islands.

We attacked the escorting U.S. Pacific Fleet and tried to reduce our pressure. However, General Yamamoto called us back and rejected us, saying that the fleet had other battle plans. I think it was a complete excuse!"

Lieutenant General Nakano Yoshiki sighed and said: "Without the air support of the U.S. escort fleet, our Seventh Army is fully capable of annihilating the U.S. reinforcements landing on the island. That's all. We still have to rely on ourselves to fight the war, General Suzuki.

It’s time for the plane to start taking action!”

On the sea east of Hawaii Island, the two divisions of the first wave of U.S. troops that landed on the landing craft quickly headed for the land. Nearly a thousand landing craft cut the silk-like sea surface into torn rags.

Thousands of troops marched together, but they also had an overwhelming momentum!

Lieutenant General Harrison stood on the deck of a landing craft, holding a telescope, sometimes observing the sea, sometimes observing the sky. The spectacular scene of thousands of ships around him did not bring him much comfort. The battlefield was so calm that he

It’s worrying. With such a large-scale landing, it’s impossible for the Japanese army not to be aware of it. The first batch of landing craft have already begun to unload soldiers and equipment, but the Japanese haven’t made any movement at all. It’s very strange and abnormal!

Seeing that the number of fleet carrier-based aircraft taking off in the sky was far from reaching his requirements, Lieutenant General Harrison became furious and roared at the staff officer behind him: "Order General Fullwood, you must strictly implement my order, otherwise

, I will report it to the Joint Chiefs of Staff!"

The second batch of US carrier-based aircraft took off, and General Harrison's anger calmed down. Suddenly, a staff officer shouted excitedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, look, the first batch of landing soldiers have already landed on the beach! We have

Success!"

Lieutenant General Harrison did not look back and gave the order with a serious face: "Order the troops who have landed to disperse immediately and advance in depth according to the predetermined plan. Ask Brigadier General Holman, commander of the 1st Marine Division,

Are there any unusual actions by the Japanese troops on the island?"

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A large group of Japanese aircraft suddenly appeared in the clear sky, raining bullets and bombs on the American soldiers who were landing.

The Japanese fighter pilots' attack movements were so fierce that they almost missed the U.S. landing craft. A string of bullets hit the U.S. soldiers on the landing craft with blood splattering everywhere. The Japanese bomber pilots, not to be outdone, launched ultra-low-altitude bombings.

, accurately throwing heavy aerial bombs on the US military landing craft.

On the sea, water columns towering into the sky rolled, and from time to time a ball of flame rose up. It was a US military landing craft, which was blown into pieces. The US soldiers who had boarded the beach became living targets for Japanese fighter jets to fire at them. In the fierce battle,

That’s how it unfolded!

However, the Japanese aircraft only took advantage of the surprise attack. The US carrier-based aircraft hovering at high altitudes, with twice the number of Japanese aircraft, rushed towards them crazily. The US and Japanese fighter jets immediately twisted into a ball and started a fierce battle.

In the aerial battle, in just ten minutes, dozens of aircraft from both sides either exploded into a ball of fire in the sky, or plunged into the vast Pacific Ocean dragging long tails of thick smoke.

With numerical superiority, the US carrier-based aircraft gradually drove the Japanese aircraft out of the airspace above the landing site. Looking at the air battle that was gradually getting away, Lieutenant General Harrison wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to the combat staff behind him.

Said: "Order the troops that have already landed to expand the landing site and establish an air defense network. The second wave of landing troops will set off immediately. Make statistics immediately. How many troops have landed on Hawaii Island?"

At the same time, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet on the heavy cruiser "McKin", Vice Admiral Fullwood, was livid. The Japanese aircraft's surprise attack on the landing force just now was, to a certain extent, an attack on the landing force.

He gave himself a loud slap in the face. Just after he had finished scorning him, Lieutenant General Harrison's unnecessary move, and the Japanese aircraft immediately gave him a slap in the face.

Commander Fulwood ordered with burning eyes: "All carrier-based fighter wings must completely wipe out the Japanese air formation. If another Japanese plane appears over the landing force, you will know the consequences very well!"

Major General Suzuki, commander of Japan's Seventh Army Air Force, who was fighting and retreating, looked at the U.S. carrier-based aircraft in hot pursuit and smiled sinisterly. He had already seen that the Americans had dispatched all carrier-based fighter jets, and the enemy was strong.

I am weak. I will not fight head-on with the Americans. I will just consume the fuel of the US carrier-based aircraft. When the fuel of the US carrier-based aircraft is not enough to support the air battle, the returning bombers will suddenly come back!

Landing US troops without air cover would be a living target! Suzuki ordered: "Attention all fighter wings, be sure to entangle the US carrier-based fighters, and the bomber wings return to prepare for the next wave of bombings! In the sky of the Pacific Ocean,

The eagle in the sky that forever belongs to the Empire of Japan!"
