Age of Conquest Reborn

As a bolt from the blue, the words of Chief of Staff Major General Nobuto shocked Lieutenant General Hirano's mind and went blank. His eyes were as wide as bells. How could it be possible? The Americans, who had already been captured, still had the ability and courage to fight back?

Lieutenant General Hirano was so surprised that he almost froze. He was frightened. Because of the Commander's words, he was greatly reassured. He put on what he thought was the most seductive pose, Miss Yumiko, and looked blankly at Miss Yumiko, whose face was turning green and white.

Lieutenant General, I'm really worried that he will suddenly faint.

Suddenly, Lieutenant General Hirano yelled, "Baga, that's nonsense. Chief of Staff Nobuto, have you verified the situation? How could the Americans counterattack? It must be the pig-brained commander on the front line who launched the attack in advance. Check it immediately."

Clearly, I can’t spare this bastard!”

On the other end of the phone, Chief of Staff Nobuto smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have verified that it was indeed the Americans who launched a counterattack, because the attack came too suddenly, without any warning in advance, and all divisions are now in a state of

Amid the chaos, the specific situation has not yet been clarified, but I have issued orders that all divisions must fight back the Americans!"

After the initial shock and panic, Lieutenant General Hirano calmed down. Yes, what will happen if the Americans suddenly counterattack? I have hundreds of thousands of troops. Even with my feet, I can beat the Americans with only half a breath left.

The soldier trampled him to death, "Nobuto-kun, your order is very correct. I will rush to the headquarters immediately and you will figure out the situation on the front line immediately!"

Putting down the phone, Lieutenant General Hirano, who was very gentlemanly, said to Yumiko, who had a pale face, stiff body, and frightened eyes: "Yumiko, don't worry, it's just an American's death struggle. I'll go to the headquarters to deal with it.

You can continue to sleep peacefully. I will send someone to pick you up after dawn!" After a gentle kiss, Miss Yumiko's peach cheeks felt cold to her lips.

When he left the room full of ambiguity and sat in the car, Lieutenant General Hirano couldn't help but shook his head secretly, "After all, a woman was frightened like this by the sound of gunfire! Isn't it the American's death struggle? What about that?

What can I do, I just die faster!"

After arriving at the headquarters, Lieutenant General Hirano realized that things were not as simple as he thought. It was believed that Chief of Staff Fuji's report was due to the sudden incident, and the battlefield was in chaos from the beginning. The worst thing was that when the battle started in full force, there was no way

It was impossible to tell where the main counterattack direction of the US military was. The US soldiers and the imperial soldiers were fighting together, and all the heavy weapons were useless.

Lieutenant General Hirano was angry. He couldn't believe that the Seventh Army, which had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, was in such chaos under the attack of more than 60,000 US soldiers that he couldn't even figure out where the enemy was. He personally gave the

Several front-line army division commanders called to inquire about this matter.

The answers he got frustrated him. The answers from the division commanders were almost unanimous: "Your Excellency, Commander, our unit is in the middle of a fierce battle. All the troops are approaching the enemy. It seems that the American counterattack direction covers all our positions."

, What’s even more serious is that our front-line troops were suddenly bombarded by US artillery, causing heavy casualties!”

"What?" Lieutenant General Hirano angrily threw down the phone. Damn it. Why didn't the artillery from the Americans show up when they first attacked them? The position built by the imperial army was so vulnerable that it made

The American soldiers who were waiting to be captured, the successive breakthroughs, and the combat effectiveness of the imperial soldiers, were they what they imagined in their minds?

Also, where did the Americans' counterattack morale and courage come from? Chaos, everything is in chaos, Lieutenant General Hirano shouted to Chief of Staff Major General Shinto: "Chief of Staff Shinto, immediately order the artillery commander Major General Mori Kijiro,

All artillery groups fire and immediately destroy the US artillery positions!"

Behind the Japanese position, there was an even louder sound immediately. Artillery shells, trailing dark red tail flames, roared and landed on the U.S. artillery position. If the number and caliber of the artillery were calculated, the artillery of the U.S. Second Army was not Japanese at all.

As for artillery opponents, the Americans do not have the capital to engage in artillery battles. It is normal for the target to be destroyed after firing the artillery to expose the target.

Lieutenant General Harrison also knew this clearly, so he ordered the artillery groups of the group army and each division to fire all the artillery shells. The artillery immediately took up arms, changed to infantry, and followed the troops to fight back. Therefore, the Japanese artillery group

The retaliatory bombardment did destroy the US artillery position, but on the position, there were only artillery pieces that had fired all the shells, and empty shell boxes everywhere.

However, there was not even a trace of the US artillery. Lieutenant General Hirano, who was dizzy with anger, had not yet thought that these most advanced 155mm caliber howitzers in the United States were originally the trophies of the Seventh Army.

After annihilating the US Second Army, these artillery pieces became the possession of the Seventh Army, enough to equip three to four artillery regiments of the Japanese army.

In terms of performance and power, they are not comparable to the 120mm caliber field guns equipped by the Japanese army's field artillery. It may be that God does not allow the Japanese to gain weight. The howitzers they have already obtained are just before the Japanese attack

under the shell

, turned into parts all over the place, saving the Americans from blowing up these artillery pieces themselves. In fact, when the Japanese artillery fired back, the US artillery had stopped shelling for more than 20 minutes. After the war, this matter also became the seventh army

One of the laughing stock!

The Japanese artillery group opened fire in full force, which also brought about a serious consequence. Colonel Hodesman, the commander of the third regiment of the 1st Marine Division of the United States Marine Corps, started from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and has been on Hawaii Island with the Japanese 3rd Regiment.

After the bloody battle of the Seventh Army, he was one of the only four regiment commanders left. Moreover, his regiment was relatively complete and fought with the Japanese army for more than 20 days.

From the commander of the regiment, Colonel Hodesman, to the ordinary soldiers, they all knew very well how cruel the Japanese were to prisoners of war. Therefore, the third regiment was one of the American troops at the forefront, and they fought bravely and fiercely. The Japanese artillery

The flashing fire from the position caught the attention of Colonel Hodesman. After scattering a group of Japanese soldiers, his blood-red eyes stared at the Japanese artillery position.

Leading his regiment through the chaotic battle, Colonel Hodesman actually found the location of the largest artillery group of the Japanese army. This was a regiment-sized artillery group, but there was only one squadron of guard troops. The American soldiers were there.

Under the leadership of Colonel Hodesman, they rushed to the Japanese artillery position, killed a squadron of Japanese soldiers, and then blew up sixty or seventy artillery pieces with parts everywhere!

In the end, the third regiment was surrounded by swarming Japanese troops. They fought to the last man and the whole army was wiped out. The regiment leader, Colonel Hodesman, was killed by more than ten gunshots. However, in this battle with great disparity in strength,

, was the only U.S. unit in the entire Second Army to kill an artillery regiment of the Japanese army.

In the chaos in the middle of the night, the U.S. military launched a desperate counterattack. The initial effect was very obvious. The Japanese army's hundreds of thousands of troops were caught off guard. The dark night became the best cover for the U.S. military's melee. However,

, the U.S. military’s desperate counterattack could not change the fact that there was a huge disparity in strength. After dawn, the superiority of the Japanese army gradually became apparent, and the initiative on the battlefield turned to the Japanese army!

The battle lasted until the evening of July 6. More than 60,000 U.S. soldiers had suffered more than 20,000 casualties. They were divided and surrounded by the Japanese army in several areas with their superior strength. Lieutenant General Harrison's idea of ​​attacking the depths of Hawaii Island was completely out of the question.

Unable to achieve.

If Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki could, at this time, use military pressure as a supplement and mainly persuade the U.S. troops to surrender, after a fierce battle in the middle of the night and a full day, the blood in the bones of the U.S. soldiers would have been exhausted, and their vigor would suddenly be lost.

I originally thought I would die, but in the end I am still alive. The desire to survive will overcome the courage and determination to die. Faced with the division and encirclement of the Japanese army, surrendering is the inevitable result!

At the critical moment, Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki made another stupid move. In front of reporters, especially in front of the beautiful lady Yumiko, Lieutenant General Hirano lost face. He became angry and took extreme measures!

He ordered each division to pull the American prisoners of war captured on the battlefield to the American position, and cut off their heads in front of the remaining more than 30,000 American soldiers. He also hung the headless corpses of the American soldiers on coconut trees.

On the tree, according to Lieutenant General Hirano's idea, the timid and cowardly American soldiers will tremble with fear when they see this scene, automatically raise their hands, line up, and surrender to the imperial army!

In this way, although reporters did not see the three-dimensional attack performance of joint land and air forces and the coordination of various arms, they would still see the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of US soldiers lining up to surrender with their hands raised. This proved from another perspective that

The combat effectiveness of the Seventh Army can also achieve satisfactory results.

Of course, after the reporters left, Lieutenant General Hirano would not keep any of these American prisoners of war who had made him lose face.

However, contrary to expectations, the American soldiers who once again witnessed the atrocities of Japanese soldiers were not intimidated. Instead, they inspired the courage to fight to the death. Surrendering would not save their lives. They would rather fight to the end and be killed by bullets.

It is better to be killed by an artillery shell than to have his head chopped off by the Japanese.

The area where American soldiers were divided and surrounded was intertwined with the Japanese encircling troops. The Japanese artillery was of no use at all. When a shell fell, it might hit one of their own heads. The next battle was a battle between infantry and light weapons.

, the U.S. troops, almost all equipped with automatic weapons, fought with the Japanese army for five full days with the weapons in their hands. The blood of soldiers on both sides almost stained the beautiful Hawaiian Island red.

By the afternoon of July 10th, of the more than 60,000 U.S. soldiers, less than 5,000 were left, and these more than 5,000 were the troops fighting with the commander, Lieutenant General Harrison, and the remaining troops of the 3rd Marine Division.

,At this point, the fate of the US Second Army has been decided!
