Age of Conquest Reborn

The Battle of Hawaii Island ended with the loss of more than 200,000 American troops and the complete victory of the Japanese army. The rising sun on July 11th still rose over Hawaii Island. Under the sun, it was a scene of devastation after a great battle.

On the battlefield, the mutilated corpses of soldiers were scattered all over the beautiful island of Hawaii. The salty sea breeze blew away the gunpowder smoke and the strong smell of blood, but it could not disperse the solidified, dark red blood stains all over the ground.

The commander of the Japanese Seventh Army, Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki, surrounded by a group of generals and junior officers, walked into the cave where the commander of the U.S. Seventh Army, Lieutenant General Harrison, committed suicide. Dozens of U.S. soldiers

The corpses of the soldiers were laid out in the cave, with blood stains gathered in a small pit and solidified. Judging from the death of the American soldiers, they died after countless holes were stabbed with bayonets and all the blood flowed out.

This is not surprising, it is in line with the practices of Japanese soldiers, and it is also the habit of soldiers of the Seventh Army. Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki walked to the dead body of Lieutenant General Harrison, looked at it coldly, and suddenly pulled out the

Equipped with a gun, under the puzzled eyes of all the Japanese officers and soldiers, they fired several shots at the body of Lieutenant General Harrison, "Bang, bang, bang!"

Until all the bullets in the gun were exhausted, he then coldly said to the soldiers around him: "Cut off the head of this American bastard and hang it at the door of my headquarters. Cut the body into several pieces and throw it into the sea.

Sharks in the Pacific Ocean are interested in Americans’ bodies!”

Putting away his pistol and turning around, Lieutenant General Hirano ordered to Chief of Staff Major General Nobuto: "Chief of Staff Nobuto, immediately order all divisions to execute all American prisoners of war on the spot, and report the results of the battle to the base camp and the General Staff!"

The bestiality, bloodshed, cruelty, and murderous Japanese officers and soldiers could not understand why the majestic lieutenant general commander would flog the corpse of a US military officer. The samurai of the Imperial Japanese Army would torture the body of an American officer.

I am interested in killing living enemies or prisoners of war. As for corpses, your commander may have this preference!

Only Chief of Staff Nobuto understood in his heart why Lieutenant General Hirano did this. Your Excellency, Commander, hated this American general who had made him embarrassed and ruined his fortune. Even if he could not be captured alive, he would vent his anger on the corpse.

!

On Hawaii Island, the gunfire that had subsided began to ring out again, and the smell of blood filled the air again. It was the soldiers of the Japanese Seventh Army who were executing American prisoners of war in accordance with the order of the commander, Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki.

On this day, a total of more than 7,000 American prisoners of war were massacred in just a few hours. Lieutenant General Harrison's head has been hung on the flagpole in front of the Japanese Seventh Army headquarters in Pearl Harbor.

superior.

It was not until two years later that the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Japanese Army captured Hawaii Island. The commander of the Corps, Lieutenant General Feng Jiwu, learned from the mouths of Japanese prisoners of war that Lieutenant General Harrison had become a skeleton.

His head was mounted. Special personnel were sent back to the United States and handed over to the family of Lieutenant General Harrison. This atrocity of the Japanese army was also made known to the world!

According to people who came back, Lieutenant General Harrison’s wife, Ms. Marina, and their two underage children lived in very poor conditions. The highest wartime command of the United States, led by Lieutenant General Harrison, decided to launch a counterattack without authorization, which resulted in

On the grounds that the Second Army was wiped out, only a meager pension was paid to his family. As for the move of the ** Division troops, the US officials were silent, but some civilians spontaneously organized a memorial service!

** Division Guangzhou Garrison District Headquarters, on the morning of July 11th, in the office of division commander Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiuli was reading a telegram sent by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe. The telegram was sent by Yu Deshui, Director of the Intelligence Division.

Come.

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli raised his head and said to Zhao Yuhe: "The war on Hawaii Island is over. The Americans finally failed to keep their east gate. From now on, life will be difficult for the Americans. However, the US military's first

The Second Army's counterattack before death was unexpected. The Japanese suffered a big loss. Judging from the outcome of the battle, the Americans will be forced to take a defensive stance. Yuhe, what do you think of this battle?

?”

Zhao Yuhe smiled and replied: "Commander, you are testing me again. Well, I will try my best. Judging from the results of the Hawaiian Islands Battle, the failure of the US military was due to underestimating the enemy. It had no confidence in the strength of the Japanese army.

Sufficient attention has been paid to the U.S. Navy in particular. This kind of thinking of underestimating the enemy was the fundamental reason that directly led to the annihilation of two Pacific Fleets."

"Another point is that after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Army's response was quite slow. It did not send reinforcements until a week after the Japanese Seventh Army landed on the island. By this time, the Japanese army had already established a firm foothold on the island and established

The logistics supply line from the mainland to the Hawaiian Islands was set up, and the Japanese navy went all out. The US military had strong national strength. Unfortunately, it did not form a unified combat force. In this battle, the Americans lost because of underestimating the enemy and strategic coordination.

superior!"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Oh, this is a new point of view. Americans have never regarded the Japanese as their opponents. When war suddenly comes, they are not well prepared, both psychologically and materially.

If you are in a hurry, you will make mistakes. Yu He, I have a suggestion. The Guangzhou Military Academy is recently holding a short-term training course for regiment-level officers. I think you can give a few lectures and instill your views into the officers!

"

"The dean of the academy originally invited me to go. Since you have analyzed the situation on the Eastern Pacific battlefield so thoroughly, I think you can go instead of me so that the regimental officers participating in the training can also understand the current situation.

The situation in the Pacific battlefield!”

Zhao Yuhe was shocked, waved his hands repeatedly, and said: "No! No! Teacher, don't you know the details of my jealousy? Don't let me make a fool of myself. Let's discuss it with you. I'll take it during the lecture."

No more action!"

Looking at Zhao Yuhe with a frightened look, Tang Qiuli was overjoyed and said: "Then don't do it reluctantly, Yuhe, the war on the Eastern Pacific battlefield is over. We must get there before the Japanese army launches the Luzon Island Campaign."

, it is time to take action to solve the Hong Kong problem. Have all the troops participating in the Hong Kong campaign been assembled in place?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Division commander, the mixed training of the special operations detachment and the infiltration unit of the Guangzhou Garrison Area has basically ended, and the infiltration plan can be implemented immediately. Liao Zhenbang, the second brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps, arrived on July 8

Street fighting training is being carried out at the designated assembly point Heyuan. Liu Hongzhang's unit of the 1st Brigade directly under the corps has arrived at the designated assembly point Zhaoqing on the 9th and has also begun training."

"The Chu Ziye Department of the 4th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, on the same day, has arrived at Gaoyao, the designated assembly point, to conduct targeted training. The Wang Yiwu Department of the 10th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps is on its way to the assembly point.

The current location is in Yangjiang, available at

Two days later, after arriving at the destination of Foshan, the Zhao Shoushan Division of the 11th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps had landed at the Zhanjiang Military Port and was preparing to move in. It is expected that on the 16th of this month, all infantry units participating in the Hong Kong Campaign will be able to

Arrive at the designated assembly point!"

"In addition, the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th tank brigades led by Commander Battle have already entered the Maoming area. Because it is a mechanized march with more than 1,300 tanks, the target is too large. The armored forces are commanded by Battle.

According to the officer's order, we will march day and night and are expected to arrive in Dongguan around the 19th of this month. All participating troops will be able to reach their designated positions by the 19th!"

"Le Yiqin Department of the Southern Flying Group of the Aviation Force, five fighter regiments have been stationed at Nanning Airport. Commander Le personally leads the team. Because all artillery units will not participate in the Hong Kong campaign, the transportation pressure on the logistics department has been relatively reduced.

Otherwise, the troop assembly speed will be delayed by three to four days!"

Tang Qiuli frowned slightly. He could understand the way Battelle's armored forces moved in. More than 1,300 tanks marched and spread for dozens of kilometers. The smoke and dust they rolled up covered the sky and the sun. Once

If a headless Japanese reconnaissance plane stumbles upon it by chance, the suddenness of the launch of the Hong Kong Campaign will be lost. Moreover, when Battelle was in Germany, he commanded an armored division, so he naturally had his own reasons.

But Zhao Shoushan, the 11th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps, was very dissatisfied with the speed with which he was advancing. They were all mechanized marches and were stationed in the Indo-China Peninsula. Other troops, such as the two brigades directly under the Corps, had already arrived.

The speed at which the brigade was assembled at the designated location was five days late, which is puzzling.

Zhao Yuhe noticed the division commander's strange behavior and felt nervous. The troops' advance plan and assembly location were made by himself and the staff office. The division commander had discovered a problem, but where was the problem? He didn't understand.

asked: "Teacher, do you have any questions?"

Tang Qiuli said: "What happened to Zhao Shoushan? Wang Yiwu's troops have already arrived in Yangjiang, and his troops have just landed in Zhanjiang. Why is this happening? Doesn't he know that it has already dragged down the entire army?

!The attack on Hong Kong will be delayed by five days because of this!"

Zhao Yuhe breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a smile: "Division Commander, this is the reason. The Zhao Shoushan Brigade's previous garrison area was in the East India area. After the main force of the Sulu Mobile Corps withdrew to the Indochina Peninsula, according to Deputy Division Commander Tang

According to the order, the 11th Brigade stayed in the East India area, and his brigade, which was stationed the farthest, was transferred to participate in the Hong Kong Campaign and had to pass through the Hukang Valley area."

"You also know that the road conditions in the Hukang River Valley are not conducive to mechanized marching. The 11th Brigade almost marched half by car and half on foot, so it was the last unit to arrive in Guangdong. For this reason, Zhao Shoushan

The brigade commander has already asked the division headquarters for disciplinary action!"
