Age of Conquest Reborn

Walking out of the continuous mountains in the Far East, Prince Zain climbed a nearby mountain peak under the protection of a large group of guards. When the endless blue of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in the distance appeared on the horizon, accompanied by the blue

Ma Jiadan, he suddenly burst into tears.

From the time of retreating from Temple Street to the sight of Magyadan Port, more than ten days were a constant inner torment for Prince Zai Ren. There were blocking forces in front of him, pursuing troops behind him, and there were no traces on the left and right wings.

Kill without mercy, there is a devilish loneliness in the sky

The bombers and fighter jets of the established aviation force unscrupulously rained bombs and bullets on their soldiers. Even he, a distinguished prince and commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, was always at risk.

To the point where one might lose one's life.

For the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force, the hundreds of kilometers from Temple Street to Magadan is a blood-stained retreat, a road of death paved with the mutilated corpses of imperial soldiers in the Zhugarzhu Mountains.

, every kilometer is stained with the blood of imperial soldiers. For the surviving soldiers of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force, this full-line retreat will be a nightmare that will accompany them for life.

With tears in his eyes, Prince Zai Ren looked at the soldiers at the foot of the mountain, who were stumbling and with withered faces. He did not look at the road they were walking on. In the distance in the rear, there was still a continuous booming sound of artillery, and the independent soldiers were chasing after them.

The division troops pursued them all the way to Magadan.

"Commander, due to frequent fighting, we cannot order each unit to count specific casualties. However, the staff department has made a preliminary estimate that the casualties of the Far East Expedition Force are over 300,000. In addition, there are about 80,000 wounded.

How are we going to deal with it?" Major General Yamada, chief of staff of the Far East Expeditionary Force, said quietly from the side.

Prince Zai Ren's heart convulsed violently, and he was suffocated by pain. The powerful Empire's Far East Expeditionary Force, a heavy force group of more than 500,000 people, now only has a few hundred thousand people left. It can be said that their vitality was severely damaged and they were completely defeated.

"Order the Communications Department to immediately contact the corresponding troop transport fleet, and the troops will immediately enter the Magadan port and prepare to board the ship. As for the more than 80,000 wounded..."

Prince Zai Ren pondered and hesitated. "In this way, we will arrange for unwounded soldiers to board the ship first, and finally arrange for the wounded to board the ship. If time does not allow, or there are not enough ships, the attack of the independent division troops will be too fierce, and Magadan will be lost.

If possible, in order not to affect the main force, the wounded can be placed on the spot!"

The corner of Chief of Staff Yamada's mouth twitched suddenly. His Royal Highness's meaning was obvious. These more than 80,000 wounded were a burden. The so-called local resettlement was undoubtedly abandonment, but he understood His Royal Highness's cold decision. Now

, the Independent Division troops are still attacking the remaining troops of the Far East Expeditionary Force from three directions. The port of Magadan is also in danger, and the wounded will delay the soldiers boarding the ship.

Chief of Staff Yamada was silent, a little intolerable in his heart, but he did not say a word. As a general, necessary ruthlessness is unavoidable. Although it is cruel, it has to be done. Take the current situation in Magyadan as an example.

More than 10,000 wounded people are just a drag. Moreover, it is not known whether the troop transport ships are sufficient. Of course, soldiers who still have fighting ability will be allowed to board the ships first.

Seeing that Chief of Staff Yamada was silent and the expression on his face was changing, Prince Zai Ren glanced at him without any emotion, as if he could see the emotional fluctuations in his heart. It happened that Major General Yamada's eyes also glanced over and touched him briefly.

He moved away unnaturally, but remained silent. The sound of gunfire in the distance became more intense and clearer.

A major officer ran over quickly, broke the awkward silence, and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander, you have received a telegram jointly sent by Colonel Edogawa, commander of the naval response fleet, and Major General Uchiyama, commander of the Army's Magadan garrison.

, our naval response fleet has already

After all preparations have been made, the soldiers of the Imperial Far East Expedition Army can board the ship immediately after arriving in Magadan. In addition, the Magadan Imperial Guard has also cleared all the unfavorable factors in the port for the soldiers of the Far East Expedition Army to board the ship, and in Magadan

A defense line has been deployed on the periphery!"

The good news fell from the sky. Prince Zain and Chief of Staff Yamada almost cried with joy after listening to the report of the communications staff. Previously, Prince Zain had no confidence in sending a telegram directly to the emperor to deploy a rescue ship in Magadan.

Manman, he believed that no matter whether it was the navy or the army, the base camp would not dare to disobey the emperor's order, but he was still uneasy in his heart.

Prince Zai Ren knew that since the empire lost thousands of troop transport ships in the Liaodong Gulf of Manchuria, his family's fortune has been almost wiped out. The biggest difficulty is the ships. If the number of troop transport ships is not enough, it will be delayed for one more day in Magadan.

The situation of the Far East Expeditionary Force becomes a little more dangerous. The longer the delay, no one can guarantee whether Magadan will be surrounded by independent division troops.

"Did Colonel Edogawa say in the telegram how many troop transport ships there are in total and whether they have the capacity to transport more than 200,000 people at a time?" Prince Zain asked the most critical question.

The communications staff officer replied: "Admiral Edogawa Navy said in the telegram that the number of troop transport ships is sufficient to transport more than 300,000 troops at a time. Moreover, all the ships are fishing boats from Hokkaido. They are familiar with Hubei."

The sea conditions in the Hotsk Sea can ensure safety on the way to the mainland!"

Prince Zain and Chief of Staff Yamada were shocked. What surprised them was that they could transport more than 300,000 people at one time. How many ships would it take? It was an unimaginable number. What surprised them was that they were all fishing boats.

They are indeed fishing boats. At the moment, there are about five to six thousand fishing boats gathered in Magyadan Port, and they are all motor sailing boats. Each motor sailing boat can accommodate more than fifty soldiers, which is more than enough. These fishing boats are all from Hokkaido, Japan, and almost all of them are in Hokkaido, Japan.

Fishermen all participated in this military operation to transport the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force.

The recruitment of fishing boats went more smoothly than the Japanese Minister of War, General Koichi Yonauchi, and the Minister of Navy, Admiral Nagano Shuzan, expected. The Imperial Army and Navy troops stationed in Hokkaido broadcast the recruitment order on the radio and explained the generous conditions.

, each registration point was quickly crowded by a large number of fishermen who came over. The level of enthusiastic registration surprised the army and navy officers in charge of this matter.

What surprised these Japanese officers even more was that the fishermen representatives proposed that the empire did not need to pay any compensation. All fishing boats participating in this transportation operation were voluntary and could contribute to the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army.

It is our glory and opportunity!

Many fishermen even spontaneously organized themselves and asked the army to issue guns and arm themselves in order to fight the Chinese in Magadan. Because they had no chance to set foot on Chinese soil, this time, they finally had the opportunity to fight against the Chinese soldiers.

, you can pay for the Japanese Empire and teach those inferior Chinese people a lesson. That kind of fanatical and bellicose tone made the army and navy officers responsible for this matter excited.

(In later history, the mainstream view often mentions that Japan’s war of aggression against China was nothing more than a war of aggression launched by a small number of militarists and plutocrats in Japan who wanted to annex China. The vast majority of the Japanese people,

They were forced to participate, they were coerced.

Under such circumstances, they had to pick up a gun and work for the militarists on Chinese soil. To put it simply, the majority of the Japanese people are good, but it is just a small group of militarists who are the culprits.

Jin has always scoffed at it and regarded it as nonsense!)

(A nation or a country devotes all its efforts to launch a comprehensive war of aggression against another country. Without domestic fanatical war sentiments and without soldiers who form the basis of an aggressive army, just a few militarists can defeat another country.

The land of China has been raging for eight years? In the final analysis, the Japanese nation is an aggressive nation. From their emperor to ordinary citizens, they are all soaked in the genes of the invaders!)

"His Majesty the Emperor is great!" Chief of Staff Yamada couldn't help but sigh with tears in his eyes. He had reason to lament that if the troop transport fleet composed of five to six thousand fishing boats had not been inspired by His Majesty the Emperor, what would have happened to the fishermen of Hokkaido?

Will they organize themselves spontaneously without any reward?

Prince Zai Ren was also in a state of excitement. The worry and anxiety he had felt for many days were all gone at this moment. He said in a passionate tone: "Immediately call back the naval commander Edogawa, and the Empire's Far East dispatch troops will begin boarding the ship immediately.

Thanks to the navy for their hard work, the Empire of Japan is invincible!"

At this time, another communications staff officer came over, equally excited, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have received a call from Major General Akasaka, commander of the Home Air Defense Command and the Hokkaido Air Defense Command Post. He has led two joint air forces.

An escort group composed of more than 600 fighter jets is on its way to Magadan. Major General Akasaka told the commander that the Hokkaido escort group will never allow an independent division aircraft group to fly over Magadan!"

From the moment he saw Magadan, Prince Zai Ren felt that the dull eyes of Amaterasu finally saw him. Everything was going well, and there were enough ships to retreat. Now, the local fighter group came to escort them again, "God bless

We, the Great Japanese Empire, God bless our Empire's Far East Expeditionary Force!" Prince Zai Ren prayed secretly in his heart, and then, under the protection of the guards, he walked towards the Magadan Port in high spirits.

At the Far East Campaign Command of the Independent Division, Liu Tiehan frowned and placed a telegram in front of him from the reconnaissance aircraft brigade in the Outer Mongolia patrol area of ​​the aviation force. The report contained two pieces of bad news, "Japanese troops are gathering at the Magadan port.

We have received a large number of troop transports, and a fleet of more than 600 Japanese fighter jets are on their way to Magadan!"
