Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Kawaguchi, Chief of Staff of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, is very scheming and cunning. He is a very qualified staff officer. He has been an old subordinate of General Ito for many years and is an absolute confidant. The two of them have experienced mainland China together and faced the independent division.

The army's disastrous defeat was also a result of the two people's joint efforts. Through those miserable days, it can be said that they have a deep relationship both in business and in personal matters.

Hearing the call from General Ito from the staff, Major General Kawaguchi immediately realized that his boss must make new moves, and this was related to the base camp's increase in troops to the Southwest Pacific Expedition Force, so he hurriedly cleared away the things on the table.

file and rushed to General Ito's office.

They were familiar with each other. Major General Kawaguchi had obtained permission from General Ito and could enter his office at any time without knocking. However, Major General Kawaguchi did not rely on pampering. He always fixed himself in the role of a subordinate and remained absolute to General Ito.

His loyalty and respect are what General Ito is most satisfied with as his chief of staff.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Major General Kawaguchi knocked on the door and reported in a very formal manner: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Kawaguchi has been ordered to come!"

"Come in!" General Ito shouted gently. Seeing Major General Kawaguchi's very formal expression, he complained, "Kawaguchi-kun, I have told you many times that you can enter my office at any time. There is no need to be so formal.

And restraint!"

Major General Kawaguchi smiled and asked: "Commander-in-Chief, what are your orders when you come to me?"

"Kawaguchi-kun, the additional reinforcements sent from the base camp will arrive at the Australian battlefield soon. What do you think of this matter?" General Ito asked calmly.

General Ito's question was very vague, but Kawaguchi almost became a roundworm in his stomach. How could he not know the commander-in-chief's intention, so he answered truthfully: "Commander-in-Chief, are you considering the impact of the Flinders Mountains and the

The Allied forces on the front line of the Barrier Mountains launch the most violent attack in an effort to conquer all of Australia in one battle!"

"Hahaha! The one who knows me is Kawaguchi-kun!" General Ito laughed heartily and said, "Kawaguchi-kun, the base camp has sent us more troops. But it has also brought pressure. His Majesty the Emperor has asked the Empire to dispatch troops to the Southwest Pacific.

in three months

Within a few days, the Allied troops were completely wiped out. The Australian War was ended. After that, the main force of the dispatched troops quickly returned to defend Kalimantan, Sumatra and other places to prevent the China Independent Division from attacking the imperial-occupied areas. I don’t know what you think.

?”

Major General Kawaguchi knew the ambition of General Ito. After the war in Australia, the next step was to attack the United States, but the order from the base camp was completely opposite. This made General Ito feel very uncomfortable. When he sent the telegram to the base camp.

I couldn't help but complain a few words, saying that the orders from the base camp were putting the cart before the horse and failing to grasp the strategic key points. It was a typical blind command!

However, Major General Kawaguchi knew his superior's innermost thoughts. Rather than saying that General Ito needed to create a more brilliant record, it was better to say that the general was trying his best to avoid fighting with the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. Therefore, he would rather

The command post is not willing to attack the mainland of the United States, but is unwilling to return to defend the imperial-occupied areas and face that daunting opponent once again!

Of course, Major General Kawaguchi would not say these words hidden deep in his heart. Therefore, he solemnly said: "Commander-in-Chief, His Majesty the Emperor's order gave us a three-month period. Therefore, all future offensive operations will

, all should be carried out around this order, and the return to defend the imperial-occupied areas should be decided by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and no one can change it. This is a battle plan drawn up by my colleagues on the staff and I.

Please review it, Commander-in-Chief!”

"It seems that Kawaguchi-kun has been prepared for a long time!" General Ito said with approval. He took the document and read it carefully, "Kawaguchi-kun, you are going to devote all the troops of the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expedition Force to launch this

Offensive action? However, have you considered that in your combat plan, you will deploy the troops to conduct an all-round attack. At present, the Allied forces rely on the defense lines of the Flinders Mountains and the Baril Mountains and have built strong defenses.

The defense system is easy to defend but difficult to attack!”

"Such an all-round attack will cause huge casualties to the troops! If the dispatched troops suffer too many casualties, even if they return to defend the empire-occupied areas, their strength will be greatly reduced. The big guys in the base camp will inevitably stir up trouble again.

, three months is enough for us to make arrangements calmly, Kawaguchi-kun, your battle plan is a bit risky!"

"It is a bit risky!" Major General Kawaguchi said without hesitation, "However, Commander-in-Chief, have you ever thought about it? We learned from intelligence that the Allies have opened up a new route to increase troops in the Australian battlefield, that is to say

, the Imperial Navy’s blockade of the United States mainland has failed to play its due role in cutting off Allied troops and logistical supplies in the Australian battlefield,”

"If we do not end the Australian War quickly, and with the continuous arrival of Allied reinforcements, the strength of the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield will continue to strengthen, and the empire's military advantage will no longer be there, and future wars will not be easy to fight! You

Don’t forget, the first batch of more than 100,000 Allied reinforcements have already landed at Melbourne Port!"

"Oh, this matter is nothing to worry about. A mere 100,000 reinforcements are not enough to change the dominant position of the Imperial Army on the Australian battlefield!" General Ito said indifferently, "I do hope that the Allied reinforcements will

Bring some more so that we can annihilate them together! Tens of thousands of kilometers away, how many reinforcements can come within three months!"

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the staff does not think so!" Major General Yamaguchi said sternly, "With the strong assistance of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, the Allied reinforcements arrived at the Australian battlefield faster than we imagined. Moreover, the Allied forces

All the weapons, equipment and logistical supplies for the reinforcements were provided by the Chinese, but in just over 20 days, more than 100,000 Allied reinforcements arrived on the Australian battlefield, the speed of which is evident!"

"Once the Australian battlefield reaches a stalemate, and if His Majesty the Emperor's orders are not fulfilled within three months, the first person to be blamed will be you, the Commander-in-Chief. If there is a stalemate in the Australian battlefield, millions of soldiers will be deployed.

The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli launches an attack on the imperial-occupied areas from the Indochina Peninsula. At that time, you will bear the huge responsibility, Commander-in-Chief, you must take this into consideration!"

"Oh!" General Ito's eyes began to grow solemn, and he could not help but pay attention to Major General Kawaguchi's words, "Kawaguchi-kun, keep talking!"

"Yes! Commander in Chief!" Major General Kawaguchi continued, "Although my attack plan seems risky, it is based on the imminent arrival of the first batch of reinforcements. After the attack is launched, the casualties may not be like yours.

So worried!”

General Ito became interested and said: "Yamaguchi-kun, please tell me carefully!"

"Commander-in-Chief, the first batch of additional troops sent to the Australian battlefield by the base camp are eight first-class divisions. They are all equipped with the latest weapons and equipment developed by the empire. Putting aside the infantry light weapons, as far as I know, every

Each division is equipped with a large-caliber howitzer brigade, with one hundred and twenty large-caliber howitzers. This latest type of howitzer is quite effective against solid fortifications and is a powerful tool for negotiating the enemy's solid defense system!"

"Eight artillery brigades, that is, more than 900 large-caliber howitzers. Concentrating these artillery in two to three main breakthrough directions can completely destroy the Allied defense system in a short period of time. Moreover, each

The division also has a tank regiment equipped with the latest '97 modified tanks', with 65 new tanks. This new tank can completely withstand the bombardment of Allied anti-tank artillery, and

Allied tank troops battle!”

"The new howitzer and the new tank are the powerful weapons for the Imperial Army to break through the Allied defense lines of the Flinders Mountains and the Barrier Mountains. Also, the Commander-in-Chief can order the joint air force of the dispatched army to coordinate tanks and artillery.

Troops, launch this large-scale attack. In this way, the Imperial Army can completely annihilate the Allied forces in the shortest time and end the Australian War at the minimum cost of casualties!"

"Yo Xi!" At this point, General Ito had fully accepted Chief of Staff Kawaguchi's battle plan. He looked at Major General Kawaguchi slyly and said: "Kawaguchi-kun, in addition to the two or three main assault directions, the other assault directions are

The purpose of your dubious tactics is to distract the main attack direction and the thickness of the Allied defense forces!"

"Nothing can be hidden from the discerning eye of the Commander-in-Chief!" Major General Yamaguchi flattered him without any trace, and continued: "Commander-in-Chief, during the Australian campaign, the casualties of the Southwest Pacific Expedition Force will be controlled to a certain level.

Once within the range, the biggest advantage is that we can have enough strength to allocate part of our troops to implement His Majesty the Emperor's order and return to defend the imperial occupied areas, while most of the troops still have the possibility of shouldering the important task of attacking the United States!"

The last words were said to be in the heart of General Ito, and his face suddenly glowed red, and he said to Major General Yamaguchi: "Yamaguchi-kun, just follow the battle plan you made and improve it, and then,

Conduct drills among the relevant troops. After all, coordinated land and air operations are tactics that the Imperial Army is not very familiar with. In this regard, I leave it to you to execute, so Yamaguchi-kun, please worry more!"

Seeing that General Ito was convinced without much effort, Major General Yamaguchi was very happy. He stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Yes! Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, our staff is willing to serve the Empire of Japan and you!"

After some conspiracy, the two giants of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force were ready to take action against the Allied troops retreating to southwest Australia.

At this time, a grand welcome banquet was being held in a hotel in Canberra, where the Allied headquarters was located. Little did they know that more than one million Japanese troops were already sharpening their knives!
