Age of Conquest Reborn

Just as the seven Allied divisions reinforcing Australia arrived at the defense areas of the Flinders Mountains and the Barrier Mountains, and were preparing to take over the previous Allied defense areas, the Japanese Southwest Pacific Expedition Force Headquarters in Montgrani in northeastern Australia

At the location, the commander-in-chief, General Ito Yanzaburo, is presiding over an important military meeting.%

Just four days ago, the mainland dispatched eight additional first-class divisions with more than 180,000 troops from the Australian battlefield, disembarked from the ports of Mount Molloy and Townsville in eastern Australia, and then rushed to the war zone to assemble.

The arrival time was more than a day earlier than General Ito expected.

The early arrival of additional local troops gave General Ito more confidence. He personally took all the senior officers of the dispatched army to the port of Townsville to greet the troops of the four divisions in person. On the same day, he saw that from the transport ship

, the removed mouth

caliber howitzer, with its thick barrel, which is intimidating to look at. It is also obviously different from the "Izu" type tank now equipped with the "Type 97" modified tank, which is obviously different from the dispatched army.

Major General Nagakawaguchi raised his thumb!

Three days after the additional troops arrived, the revised combat plan by Chief of Staff Major General Kawaguchi had also taken shape. Therefore, General Ito couldn't wait to convene this military meeting, watching dozens of shining imperial generals sitting upright.

, Sitting on both sides of the long table without squinting, General Ito felt so satisfied that he simply could not express it in words.

These people are all senior officers above the rank of lieutenant general in the Empire of Japan. Each of them commands an elite division of troops. Where they are placed, they are all important generals. However, they are all now under the control of an elite division.

Under his own command, with nearly 900,000 of the most elite imperial troops at his disposal, General Ito has the ambition to conquer the world!

"Gentlemen, in addition to the original generals of the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, today we have eight more generals. Originally, I should have held a grand banquet to welcome those who have traveled across the ocean and come to the Australian battlefield from home.

Eight generals!" General Ito began his opening remarks with a bright face, "However, I would like to combine the welcome banquet with the celebration cocktail party for the full occupation of Australia. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone here is a senior officer of the Japanese army. People who have been to countless big events, no one would care about a drink from General Ito. However, Commander Ito asked this question, so let’s support him, so the Japanese generals shouted loudly.

Said: "The staff will obey the orders of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Very good!" General Ito said with a smile: "According to the information obtained by our intelligence department, the first batch of Allied troops to reinforce the Australian battlefield, with a total of seven mechanized divisions and 160,000 troops, are rushing to the Flinders Mountains and

On the battlefield of the Balil Mountains, I don’t know what these Americans are going to do specifically, but I do know that the Empire’s Southwest Pacific Expedition Force has hundreds of thousands more enemy soldiers who can be annihilated!”

"The General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Forces has decided to launch an unprecedented scale attack against the Allied forces stationed in the Flinders Mountains and the Barrier Mountains, break through the Allied defense lines, eliminate the enemies in southeastern Australia, and lay the foundation for the occupation of Australia.

Victory!" General Ito clenched his fists with both hands, waved them quickly and shouted, "Chief of Staff Kawaguchi, convey the battle deployment of the headquarters!"

Chief of Staff Kawaguchi opened the folder marked Top Secret, raised his voice and said: "Operation Order from the General Headquarters of the Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Forces of the Empire of Japan!"

"Brush!" All the Japanese officers stood up and listened respectfully. "Gentlemen, please sit down!" General Ito waved his hand and said.

Chief of Staff Yamaguchi continued: "According to the order, the specific battle deployment is as follows. The 55th, 56th, and 57th divisions of the Seventh Army will be the left-wing attack group. The attack target is the Marisa area. The Eighth Army will

The Sixty-first, Sixty-second and Sixty-third Divisions are the middle attack group, and the attack target is the Milpalinka area. The Sixty-fourth and Sixty-fifth Divisions of the Tenth Army, and thirty units attached to the Third Army

The Seventh Division is a right-wing attack group, and its attack target is the Wernering area!"

"The above three attack areas are the main breakthrough directions of this battle. The commanders of the participating armies are the commanders of the assault directions. The remaining troops of the dispatched armies are to attack Sargominda, Quilpi, Charleville and other places.

The target is that during this large-scale attack, the joint air force of the Expeditionary Forces will provide all-round air support. Everyone, this detailed campaign plan will be sent to every combat unit after the meeting is over!"

Chief of Staff Kawaguchi sat down. His words were very concise. If he wanted to read out the entire battle plan, it would take less than an hour. General Ito stood up and said: "Gentlemen, this is a battle against the Allied forces on the Australian battlefield."

This is the largest attack and a decisive one. After this battle, every inch of land in Australia will be planted with the rising sun flag of the Japanese Empire!"

"Everyone, I pin the victory of this battle on the additional troops that have just been dispatched to the Australian battlefield from the mainland. You are the main force of this attack. The other troops are all cooperating in the fight and are all part of the dispersion of the Allied forces.

Due to the nature of the assist, the campaign will be launched at 3:00 a.m. on January 15th. Gentlemen, there are still three days until the launch of the campaign. If you don’t have any other opinions, just go back and prepare!"

What other thoughts can the Japanese generals who participated in the military meeting have? General Ito commanded the Imperial Army and fought very well in the Australian battlefield. Now it is His Majesty the Emperor and the popular man in the base camp. He is unique. Isn't he asking for trouble?

After eating, they all stood up and replied loudly: "Ha Yi! Resolutely carry out the commander-in-chief's order!"

This time, General Ito decided to launch an offensive without leaving any reserve troops. It ran diagonally through the southeastern region of Australia from Wumera in the southwest of Australia to Theodore in the northeast, and was more than 700 kilometers long.

On the front, more than 900,000 Japanese soldiers were nervously preparing for the attack.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Barry Hersman, the new supreme commander of the Australian Allied Forces, was driving to the battlefield of the Flinders Mountains, where the main offensive direction of the Japanese army was. The Allied Anglo-Austrian First Army was originally deployed.

The Third Army, nine divisions of the Fifth Army, and two divisions of the New Zealand Army, a total of 11 divisions with nearly 300,000 troops, belong to the key defense area and are the only way for the Japanese army to attack the southeast.

However, the front line is now undergoing a defense change. Four mechanized divisions composed of American and Canadian soldiers are taking over defensive positions. Hundreds of thousands of people are taking over the defensive positions. Lieutenant General Barry Hersman is worried about the chaos, so he brought his Chief of Staff

Lieutenant General Wagner, rush to the front line.

More than a dozen military jeeps were bumping along the rugged mountain roads in southeastern Australia. Lieutenant General Barry Hersman was not in a relaxed mood. He also knew the information about the Japanese reinforcements on the Australian battlefield. He had a premonition that his opponent Ito

Yan Saburo, there will definitely be big moves. On the current Australian battlefield, although the Allies have increased the strength of seven divisions, they are still at a considerable disadvantage in terms of total strength!

Coupled with the lack of air supremacy, this war was not easy to fight. After taking office, he sent an emergency telegram to the country, requesting the strengthening of the Australian Allied Air Force. The answer from the Joint Chiefs of Staff was that there were five fighter wings, two

The bomber wing's aircraft are being assembled in the East India region, in the area controlled by Tang Qiuli. The pilots have already assembled in the West India region, and after the aircraft are assembled, they will immediately head to the Australian battlefield.

However, it will be within a month at the earliest. "Alas!" Lieutenant General Barry Hersman sighed, and could only pray that within this month, the Japanese would not launch an attack, otherwise, he would suffer enough!

Suddenly, there was the ear-piercing scream of an engine in the sky, and the jeep squeaked and braked suddenly. Lieutenant General Abali Hersman followed the sound and looked over. In the northern sky, there were two Japanese fighter jets.

It was rushing over at high speed. The blood-red circles under the wings were very eye-catching. The very experienced Chief of Staff Wagner immediately pulled the commander and ran behind a rock.

The guards protecting the commander and chief of staff were also veterans with a lot of experience. They immediately abandoned their vehicles and took cover. "Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!" The two Japanese fighter jets, like hungry wolves after seeing blood, went crazy for a while.

After firing continuously until the jeep burst into flames and smoke, it disappeared into the air as if it were in an uninhabited land.

It was a near miss. Apart from the total loss of the jeep, there were no casualties among the guards. However, Lieutenant General Barry Hersman's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water. He asked in an annoyed tone: "Staff Staff

Sir, just two Japanese fighter jets dare to go deep into our positions without restraint and conduct air strikes. Where are our fighter jets?"

Chief of Staff Wagner sighed and replied honestly: "Commander, similar situations are not surprising. The Australian war has been going on for almost two years, and we have not been able to get effective supplies of weapons and equipment. The Australian Allied Forces

The original five air fleets continued to be depleted in the constant battles with the Japanese air force, but were not replenished. There are less than 300 combat aircraft of various types left, and there is also a shortage of pilots!"

"Now, our air force only maintains limited air defense against a few important cities, but it cannot eradicate the Japanese bombing! Air supremacy is not in our hands. In all previous battles, a considerable number of soldiers were killed or injured.

, it was caused by Japanese aircraft!”

Lieutenant General Barry Hersman was silent. With a deeper understanding of the situation on the Australian battlefield, he realized how bad the situation was. The Allied forces were completely passive and being beaten. Needless to say, what he inherited was a mess.

However, in his heart, he had a little more respect for his predecessor, General Fernandez. It was not easy to maintain a foothold in southeastern Australia under a passive situation. Look at the smoking jeep and reach the destination.

There are still more than thirty kilometers of mountain roads, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
