Age of Conquest Reborn

Ito's plan was simple, effective and vicious. First, all troops were dispatched to launch a ferocious full-line attack on the U.S. military positions with maximum attack power, assuming a posture determined to break through the U.S. military's defense line in the Calais Mountains, causing a third U.S. military attack.

The military defense line is in a critical situation everywhere. As a result, in order to protect the defense line from being breached, the Americans will send out all their fighter planes.

Next, a small number of fighter jets will still be dispatched to harass the U.S. military fleet. When the U.S. fighter jets are pursuing it, they will lure the U.S. military fleet into the airspace where the three aviation groups ambush, and then encircle and annihilate them. After yesterday's air battle, the number of U.S. fighter jets will not

There are more than 400 fighter jets, and the total number of fighter jets of the three Japanese Army Air Forces reaches more than 1,000. They will form a three-to-one superiority in the three ambush airspaces.

After killing the US aircraft, the Japanese fleet dispatched bombers to support the ground forces and completely broke through the defense line of the US Third Army. According to General Ito's plan, three divisions were left behind to divide, surround and annihilate the US Third Army in the Calais Mountains.

Army, and then, with Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta's Fourteenth Army as the assault force, they rushed directly to Manila. If the battle goes smoothly according to plan, the troops of the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expedition Army will be able to arrive at the city of Manila tomorrow evening!

After Chief of Staff Kawashima announced the battle deployment, General Ito said: "Gentlemen, the time for the launch of the battle is exactly 4:30 in the morning on August 13th, that is, early tomorrow morning. Haruta-kun's troops will withdraw from the first attack.

Wave and other troops, after breaking through the US defense line, go straight to Manila along the breach. I need all the imperial warriors of the 14th Army to maintain sufficient physical strength and full fighting spirit. Go straight to MacArthur's lair, Haruta-kun, you won't

Have an opinion!"

Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta was so excited that he was trembling a little. He stood up suddenly and replied loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Haruta thanks you for giving such an honor to the 14th Army. I will welcome you at the gate of Manila before seven o'clock tomorrow evening."

I am very happy for your arrival

I want to see that cunning General MacArthur. When the time comes, I will invite him to drink our Japanese sake, and then, as the highest-ranking US military officer captured by our Empire of Japan’s Southwest Pacific Expedition Force, he will be escorted to Tokyo and presented to His Majesty the Emperor!

"

The other Japanese generals sighed, "Oh, who said Yoshihiko Haruta is a cannon? Look at what they said, he is high-sounding and heroic, and he has dignity and dignity. He is dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor."

prisoner of war

.This is a great idea, the imperial palace presents prisoners. Probably only the ancient Chinese would have such a fantastic idea. How could this guy Haruta think of it? The Japanese generals present at the meeting immediately looked at Haruta Yoshihiko with admiration.

!

General Ito's face was even brighter with excitement. He discovered more and more how cute this guy Haruta was. After capturing MacArthur, he escorted him back to his homeland and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor. The person he captured was the top commander of a regional headquarters in the United States.

As an officer, with this skill alone, he can overshadow the navy and win the praise of His Majesty the Emperor and the big bosses of the Army Ministry. Will it be difficult to rise to prominence next?

Ito patted Yoshihiko Haruta's shoulder affectionately and said with encouragement: "Mr. Haruta, you must get this honor for the dispatched troops. We are all looking forward to it!" Then, Ito said to the three Army Aviation commanders: "

Kashima-kun, Araki-kun, Kuroda-kun, gentlemen, Ito is here to ask you all. Tomorrow’s battle will affect the overall situation of the Empire’s southwest Pacific battlefield. Let us fight together for the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor.

!”

The Japanese generals went, stood up in unison, and shouted loudly: "I am willing to serve the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor. If we don't fight, we will fight. If we fight, we will win!" The voice was heard outside the tent, containing bloody murderous intent!

Then, the Japanese generals left with confidence, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the U.S. Third Army tomorrow. If Le Yiqin had the opportunity to learn about the contents of the Japanese military meeting, she would definitely slap the table and curse, "

The Japanese are really nothing, aerial ambush,

It was originally my patent, but it was plagiarized by the old devil Ito. The little devil learned things quickly enough. If I meet the little devil's aviation soldiers next time, I will definitely give you bastards an aerial ambush. Tell me.

Little devil, the master is the master!"

That night, in the office building of the Singapore Military Control Commission, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe delivered another piece of information about the Luzon battlefield on August 12 to the desk of division commander Tang Qiuli on time.

Tang Qiuli climbed over it, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Yuhe, the casualties of the US military today are unusually high. The Japanese army also dispatched fighter jets. From this, we can judge that tomorrow, there will be an air battle between the United States and Japan."

In the decisive battle of strength, Ito beat the U.S. Third Army too hard. At this time, MacArthur would definitely use all his trump cards. Reinforcements from the British and Australian troops were delayed, forcing the U.S. Third Army to

, we must fight the Japanese army in the Calais Mountains!"

Zhao Yuhe asked: "Division commander, if all the US air power is wiped out by the Japanese aviation, in your judgment, what kind of countermeasures will MacArthur take?"

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "It's not if, but it's for sure. For three consecutive days, Ito ordered the Japanese army to attack with pure infantry to show their weakness. But today, a small number of fighter jets were sent, resulting in more than 17,000 US troops.

The huge casualties put the greatest pressure on the U.S. Third Army, and basically achieved the goal of deploying U.S. air power!"

"After the U.S. military's air power is completely lost, if I were MacArthur, I would immediately abandon Manila and retreat eastward to Australia as soon as possible before being surrounded by the Japanese army. Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape. However, look at MacArthur now

His posture is that he is not preparing to evacuate Luzon Island. His last hope is to have hundreds of thousands of British and Australian military reinforcements on the Australian mainland!"

Zhao Yuhe shook his head and said with emotion: "Since Luzon Island is a dead end, why does MacArthur persist so stubbornly? I really can't understand this American's thoughts and actions!"

Tang Qiuli was about to explain, "Ding-a-ling!" The phone on the table rang rapidly. He picked up the phone and said, "Is this the teacher? I am Le Yiqin. Now, I have an important situation to report to you. The flight

The Third Group of the First Group Fighter Regiment, along the Malacca route today

On the front line of the Strait, during a routine air patrol, we discovered a squadron of Japanese fighter jets that had penetrated deep into our side. By the time the Third Brigade chased after them, the little Japanese had already run away!" Le Yiqin said on the phone.

With a loud voice, it came through clearly.

Tang Qiuli asked calmly: "Oh, since this happened, Le Yiqin, do you have any safe way to deal with this situation?"

When Le Yiqin heard it, the teacher did not discipline him. It seemed that he had a good idea. He said: "Sir, the little devil deliberately crossed the line and was a deliberate provocation. We must give a decisive blow. My plan is that tomorrow I will lead

Team, dispatch two fighter regiments to the island of Sumatra to attack the Japs. Is this also a warning? The Singapore Navy and Air Force Base is separated from the Japs by a strait, and it only takes 20 minutes to get there!"

Tang Qiuli's eyebrows gradually raised, and he said: "Le Yiqin, your appetite is still too small. I have received definite information. Tomorrow morning, American and Japanese planes will fly over Luzon Island.

A decisive battle, that is a large air battle involving nearly 2,000 aircraft. Are you interested in joining in and killing all the Japanese and American aircraft?"

It was as if Le Yiqin had been on stimulants, her eyes were shining, and her heart was filled with joy. She thought to herself, "Oh, it's such a good thing. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you get rich, you can kill the Americans and the Japanese at the same time."

"Plane, hey, it makes me excited just thinking about it," he was about to answer loudly when he suddenly felt that something was not quite right. Why was there a bit of gunpowder in the teacher's tone?

Le Yiqin said carefully: "Commander, if you approve the Southern Flying Group's participation in the war, I can guarantee that no matter whether it is a kid's plane or a Yankee's plane, not a single one will be able to escape!" When he said these words, he was leading

with a probing tone.

Suddenly, I heard the division commander roar, "Le Yiqin, you are so majestic, do you have a head? Listen, tomorrow's routine air patrol route will not allow one of your fighter jets to fly across the center line of the Malacca Strait.

Stay away from the Luzon battlefield, otherwise, you can be my staff officer forever!"

Le Yiqin broke out in a cold sweat and said hurriedly: "Commander, I review that we should not rush for a fight. I guarantee that the Southern Flying Group air patrol fleet will definitely carry out your orders!" Putting down the phone, Le Yiqin let out a long breath.

, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and muttered with lingering fear: "What a risk, and I almost didn't become a staff officer! However, it's a pity, it was a big air battle with more than 2,000 aircraft, there was no way, I couldn't participate,

I’m so greedy just looking at it!”

Zhao Yuhe was listening to the side and was overjoyed. Seeing Tang Qiuli put down the phone, he said: "Commander, you are targeting Commander Le's weakness. When I heard that he was asked to serve as your staff, I was frightened."

Breaking into a cold sweat!"

Tang Qiuli said helplessly: "This Le Yiqin, sometimes he is so smart that it is unbelievable, and sometimes he is so impulsive that you want to kick him a few times. Yu He, believe it or not, if I approve him,

Le Yiqin dares to lead a regiment of fighter jets into the airspace where Japanese and American aviation forces are fighting!"

Zhao Yuhe answered honestly: "Sir, I absolutely believe that even if he only brought ten fighter jets, he would still dare to help!"

Tang Qiuli also said very seriously: "I absolutely believe that this guy can really do that!" After saying that, the two of them laughed!

At 4:01 a.m. on August 13th, on the Japanese artillery position, nearly a thousand artillery pieces covered with camouflage nets slowly raised their thick and ferocious muzzles and pointed at the U.S. military position. This ordinary day was destined to

Something extraordinary is going to happen.
