Age of Conquest Reborn

General Nanjiro's words were a bit sudden. Lieutenant General Yokoyama, the commander of the Seventh Army, who was full of thoughts, could not have imagined that the Commander-in-Chief directly ordered his own general without saying a few words!

Lieutenant General Yokoyama looked at General Nanjiro in astonishment. His mind was still full of his own calculations. He didn't react for a while until a colleague next to him poked himself and said, "Ah! What!" Lieutenant General Yokoyama was incoherent. In fact,

, he didn’t even notice what General Nanjiro asked just now.

General Nanjiro's heart was filled with anger, and his face was livid. A dignified Imperial Army lieutenant general participated in such an important military meeting, and the main topic involved was his defense zone. He was so careless. He really embarrassed the Kwantung Army.

Face!

If in normal times, Lieutenant General Yokoyama's hesitant words, General Nanjiro would definitely make him look good. However, at this critical moment, it is really not appropriate to get angry, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Yokoyama

Sir, the Liaodong Peninsula has just been bombed by the independent division aviation. I want you to talk about the current strength and defense system of the Kwantung Army in the Liaodong Peninsula?"

Lieutenant General Yokoyama stood there awkwardly. Under the gaze of everyone, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. General Nanjiro's words saved him from the siege. He hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please forgive me for just now."

The staff department is considering the issue of the Liaodong Peninsula, I'm sorry!" Lieutenant General Hengshan is also a well-behaved person. Since the commander-in-chief has given him a step down, he has to express his position!

Seeing the commander-in-chief's expression softening, Lieutenant General Hengshan said: "There is no need for the commander-in-chief to ask, the staff department also needs to report on the situation on the Liaodong Peninsula. Starting at around 7 o'clock this morning, the independent division aviation troops dispatched no less than 7

Hundreds of bombers and more than 800 fighter jets carried out repeated bombings on all the airfields of the aviation force in the Liaodong Peninsula. By the time the staff came to the headquarters for a meeting, according to reports from various places, all the airports of our Kwantung Army in the Liaodong Peninsula were completely gone.

Nothing left!"

"What I don't understand is that when the aircraft fleet of the Independent Division's aviation arm was brazenly bombing the Imperial Army's airport, where was the fighter group of the Kwantung Army's aviation arm? Why did the sky of the Liaodong Peninsula become the independent division's?

A stage where the aviation force is wreaking havoc? Could it be that all the fighter planes of our Kwantung Army have disappeared collectively, or is it because they are afraid of fighting and do not dare to attack? "

Lieutenant General Yokoyama was holding back his anger. He didn't care at all. Another officer with the rank of Lieutenant General of the Army Aviation Corps, with a face that turned livid from shame and anger, and eyes that could breathe fire, just said happily

.

Of course, General Nanjiro knew who Lieutenant General Yokoyama was targeting. In this situation, it was an unclear topic to get entangled with, so he stopped the angry Lieutenant General Yokoyama and said: "Yokoyama-kun, this is not a discussion.

When it comes to this question, the air force has their own battle considerations, so please focus on the question I just asked!"

Now that the Commander-in-Chief has come forward, Lieutenant General Yokoyama will certainly not confront him, so he changes his tone to a serious tone and says: "Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the large-scale bombing by the independent division aviation did not cause any damage to the imperial infantry.

What harm, my troops, almost no losses!"

"However, this is what worries me the most. Now, the imperial army's defense strength in Indochina is nominally four divisions of the Seventh Army, with more than 100,000 troops, but the actual situation is far less than that.

optimism!"

"Everyone also knows that our Kwantung Army suffered huge losses in the First World War in the Far East. Although the mainland tried its best to supplement our troops, it was impossible to make up for our losses in a short period of time. Therefore, our troops on the Liaodong Peninsula

The actual strength of the Seventh Army, including the recently added troops, is only two and a half divisions with more than 60,000 troops, of which only more than 24,000 are veterans with combat experience!"

"If you include the second-rate troops of the local garrison, the total strength of our Imperial Army in the Liaodong Peninsula does not exceed 150,000. This is the current situation of the Imperial Army's strength in the Liaodong Peninsula. It is obvious that the aviation force of the China Independent Division has no influence on Liaodong.

Peninsula Royal Air Force Airport carries out devastating

The purpose of the bombing is to land on the Liaodong Peninsula. In view of this, we also carefully weighed the strength of our Seventh Army. The Ministry of Staff implores the Commander-in-Chief to immediately send additional troops to the Liaodong Peninsula. Otherwise, once the China Independent Division troops cross the sea and land,

, then the Liaodong Peninsula is in danger!"

"If the Liaodong Peninsula falls, the door to the hinterland of Manchuria will be opened, and I, Hengshan, can command all the soldiers of the Seventh Army, risking their lives for the sake of the Japanese Empire, and desperately blocking the enemy's attack. However, even if the entire Seventh Army is destroyed,

If you still can’t stop the attack of the China Independent Division, what’s the use of broken jade? - Yokoyama doesn’t want to become a sinner of the Japanese Empire, so I urge you, Commander-in-Chief, to consider the request of the ministry!”

This Hengshan was really a character. He was spitting and talking incessantly. His words were impassioned and practical. His words resonated with the senior officers of the Kwantung Army present, and they all started talking among themselves.

It seems that the officers are all in favor of sending more troops to the Liaodong Peninsula, but they have not considered the situation in front of Manchuria. If there are troops to mobilize, why are you talking nonsense? As a senior general of the Kwantung Army, you can be so short-sighted, but for

Lieutenant General Hengshan is blameless,

General Nanjiro's eyes flashed fiercely, and he was very annoyed. However, his usual style was that he did not bother to explain too much to his subordinates. He only needed them to pay attention to his orders. The rest,

It's not something they should worry about!

"That's enough. Stop the unnecessary whispering. Mr. Hengshan, aren't you asking for more troops to be sent to the Liaodong Peninsula? Okay, I'll give you more troops! - But after the increase, you must ensure that even if it is an independent division,

When we land on the Liaodong Peninsula, we must drive these Chinese people back to the Bohai Sea!" General Nanjiro gritted his teeth and said a little viciously.

Chief of Staff Matsuda was shocked. Could it be that the Commander-in-Chief was persuaded by that guy from Yokoyama to really increase the number of troops in the Liaodong Peninsula? On the way to the venue just now, Chief of Staff Matsuda carefully thought about what General Nanjiro said.

, more and more he felt that it made sense. In his heart, he was already leaning towards General Nanjiro's judgment. The bombing of the Liaodong Peninsula might really be a trick of the China devil, with the purpose of mobilizing the Kwantung Army troops on the Manchurian border!

Now, after listening to what General Nanjiro said, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He almost stood up to remind him, but something moved in his heart. He knew that General Nanjiro was not someone who could be easily changed by others, so he sat down again and watched quietly.

the development of things.

Lieutenant General Yokoyama was overjoyed, but General Nanjiro's harsh request made him hesitate. Without the tragic experience of the Far East Campaign, the Kwantung Army was almost wiped out, so Lieutenant General Yokoyama agreed without hesitation.

,but,

After several battles with the Soviet army, Lieutenant General Hengshan's inner pride and confidence in the Kwantung Army's invincibility were almost destroyed. If this was the case against the Soviet army, how about facing the famous Chinese devil Tang

Qiu Li, will things be okay?

The answer is of course no. The Soviet Russian troops that could inflict heavy losses on the Kwantung Army have never taken advantage of that devilish Chinese force. Only Amaterasu knows what my chances of winning are against such an opponent.

Hengshan himself didn't even know that the Commander-in-Chief was not commanding his own army?

He hesitated in his heart and didn't know how to answer. Seeing Lieutenant General Yokoyama's expression changing, the fire in General Nanjiro's heart began to flare up. He himself also knew that this was a very difficult guarantee for Yokota. After all,

The opponent he is about to face is the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. He is an opponent who is walking on thin ice, let alone Hengshan?

However, at the critical moment, as a senior general of the Kwantung Army, he had no time to hesitate, "What? Mr. Yokoyama, are you embarrassed about this guarantee? If you feel that you are not qualified, you can submit your resignation immediately. I will also

If someone is sent to take over your position, of course, this will be added to your resume!" General Nanjiro said in a cold tone.

Forced to this point, Lieutenant General Yokoyama has no way out. Anyone can hear the subtext in General Nanjiro's words. Adding this to his resume will ensure that he is fearful of the enemy in the face of battle.

, if you resign as commander, your future in the Imperial Army will be completely ruined!

Lieutenant General Yokoyama stood at attention with a "Pah!" and replied loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Yokota assures you that if reinforcements are received, even if the subordinates die on the battlefield, they will be killed before losing their lives.

Drive all the Chinese troops who dare to land on the Liaodong Peninsula down to the Bohai Bay!"

Lieutenant General Yokoyama's meaning is also very obvious. I have finished my promise. Next, it's time for you, Nanjiro, to add more troops to me, right?

"Yo Xi!" General Nanjiro nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, Mr. Yokoyama is really a model of an imperial soldier. From now on, the Seventh Army will adjust its deployment, and everything must be aimed at landing the independent division troops on the Liaodong Peninsula.

With the strength of two divisions, we will lay out a line at Lushunkou, Ganjingzi, and thirty miles away to form the first defensive position. Mr. Yokota, you must remember that the first line of defense must use the most elite troops of the Seventh Army!

"

"However, the troops on the front line do not need to defend the above three areas. After a day of blocking the landing of the independent division troops, they will retreat to the Bayuquan, Hengdaohe, and Zhuanghe lines. This will be your Seventh Army's

The main strength of the second line of defense is the remaining troops of the Seventh Army, as well as local garrison troops from various parts of the Liaodong Peninsula!"

"The advantage of the Seventh Army's second line of defense is that it can rely on the complex terrain of the Qianshan Mountains to build a solid line of defense. Mr. Hengshan, you must remember that the second line of defense is the key to your defense of the Liaodong Peninsula, so

, we need to deploy most of our troops here and fight to the death without retreating, do you understand?"
