Age of Conquest Reborn

In the eastern Pacific Ocean, about three hundred kilometers away from the east coast of the United States, more than a hundred warships of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet are quietly anchored here, like a group of sharks preparing to hunt. The night has faded, and the brilliant

The sun reflected on the sea, the waves rolled, and the golden light shone. If there had been no war, this would have been a very beautiful morning.

General Yamamoto, looking out the port window at the surging sea, was obviously not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. Since at three o'clock in the morning, several air fleets of the Army Air Forces launched the first batch of attack aircraft against several important cities on the east coast of the United States.

After starting the action, General Yamamoto, who seemed confident, was actually nervous and uneasy inside.

As the commander of the Imperial Navy fleet that blockaded the east coast of the United States, Admiral Yamamoto had a profound understanding and study of the United States, a behemoth with strong national power. He had never looked down upon the United States, and he was deeply concerned about the losses of the army aircraft fleet that carried out the first round of air strikes.

With sufficient preparation, the aviation force of the U.S. East Coast Defense Command is not a decoration. A fierce battle cannot be avoided. The difference lies in the size of the loss and whether the base camp can accept such losses.

Letting the army aviation fleet conduct the first round of air strikes was not only for the purpose of the campaign, but also because of General Yamamoto's own selfish motives. Air strikes on the United States were a big gamble. One of the army and navy aviation forces must pay a corresponding price.

, of course, this kind of selfishness was deeply hidden by him and covered up in this action plan!

A few hours passed, and they were sitting in Pearl Harbor. There was still no news from Chief of Staff Matsuda, who was in charge of commanding the Army Air Force fleet, which made General Yamamoto very anxious. But he could only wait, because according to the combat plan, after the first round of air strikes, it was necessary to

After assessing the losses and results, the combined fleet's carrier-based aircraft fleet will conduct the second round of air strikes. What Admiral Yamamoto values ​​most is the second round of air strikes, which is the core and essence of this plan.

General Yamamoto was sitting in his seat. His eyes were slightly closed and his face was calm. However, all the staff officers in the flagship command cabin could feel that the commander-in-chief today had inner tension and uneasiness hidden under his seemingly calm appearance.

, Therefore, the atmosphere in the command cabin was relatively solemn, and even the staff members were whispering softly when delivering telegrams.

"Dang, dong, dong!" There were rapid footsteps outside, as if someone was running fast. General Yamamoto's brows couldn't help but frown slightly. "Dang!" The door of the command module was pushed open with great force, and the sound

It was so big that it attracted everyone's attention, except General Yamamoto, who still closed his eyes slightly, but suddenly opened and closed them, and a cold light flashed through.

The one who rashly broke into the command cabin was Rear Admiral Iwasa, deputy chief of staff of the Combined Fleet. This rear admiral of the Imperial Navy, who was always known for his calmness, was red in the face at this moment, as if he had been given a shot of blood. He didn't care about the command cabin.

Many people looked at him with surprise and confusion. Waving the telegram in their hands, he rushed to General Yamamoto in a few steps and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, after receiving a secret telegram from Chief of Staff Matsuda, the cherry blossoms are blooming!"

"What?" General Yamamoto stood up suddenly, his eyes gleaming, and asked in disbelief: "Iwasa-kun, say it again!"

"Sakura blooms" is the prescribed code word. When the Combined Fleet Command receives this code word from the first round of air attack headquarters, it means that the air attack by the army aircraft group on all targets on the east coast of the United States was successful!

"Commander, Chief of Staff Matsuda sent a secret message. The first round of air strikes by the Army Air Force fleet was very successful. They are now on their way back! General, we succeeded! We succeeded!" Major General Iwasa repeated, almost shouting wildly.

"Yo Xi! God bless our Japanese Empire!" General Yamamoto confirmed that he did not have any auditory hallucinations. He murmured to himself that happiness came so suddenly that he felt dizzy.

"Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" All the officers in the command cabin shouted wildly. Many officers were so excited that they could not control their emotions and burst into tears. They completely forgot that this was in front of the people who have always been strict and rigorous. The face of the famous General Yamamoto.

General Yamamoto's iron-faced face showed a heartfelt smile. He would not destroy the ecstatic mood of his subordinates in such an atmosphere. He himself was also infected by this atmosphere. After calming down a little, General Yamamoto asked: "Iwasa-kun, have you assessed the results of the first round of air strikes and the losses to the Army Air Force fleet?"

"Commander, the assessment is complete!" Major General Iwasa replied with excitement, "According to the secret message from Chief of Staff Matsuda, the Army Air Force bomber formation has successfully completed the four targets of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Carson City, and Sammler. During the bombing mission, fifteen bombers of various types were lost, all shot down by US ground anti-aircraft fire!"

"The escort fighter group engaged in a fierce battle with the U.S. fighter group over the target. The air battle lasted for more than 40 minutes, and a total of 165 U.S. fighter jets were shot down, and the Army aviation group lost 47 fighter jets!"

"Hmm! - What?" General Yamamoto's eyes widened again. He was suspicious. It was too impossible. According to his pre-war estimates, the Army Air Force fleet in the first round of air strikes had more than 1,800 fighters and bombers. It is normal to lose about one-third from the completion of the bombing to the time of return. After all, the Americans have deployed more than fifteen wings of fighters and bombers on the east coast.

"Impossible, Matsuda must have made a mistake!" General Yamamoto shook his head and thought, because the losses in the first round of air strikes directly affected the conduct of the second air strike, we had to be cautious. The success of the air strike by the army aviation group was inevitable. Doubtful, but the loss situation is too unbelievable. I suspect that there is some moisture in it, or that the commanders of the army aviation group lied about the results and concealed the losses.

General Yamamoto's serious deputy chief of staff said: "Iwasa-kun, did Matsuda make a mistake? Send a telegram immediately to verify it! I need the real situation!"

"Commander, there is nothing wrong!" Major General Iwasa waved the telegram in his hand and said decisively, "After receiving the telegram, I also doubted whether the statistics of the Army Aviation were wrong, so I sent another telegram to Chief of Staff Matsuda and Chief of Staff Matsuda. The reply was, 'Verified correct'! This is the real results and losses of the Army Air Forces fleet!"

"It's true!" General Yamamoto's eyes flashed with light. He could doubt the guys at Lu Hang, but he absolutely trusted Chief of Staff Matsuda, an old subordinate who was loyal to him. There was no need to use such clumsy tactics. Come to please your boss.

Admiral Yamamoto said hurriedly: "Iwasa-kun, seize the fighter plane and order all carrier-based aircraft to take off immediately to carry out a second bombing of the first round of air attack targets. In addition, the commanders of each carrier-based aircraft formation can, according to the specific situation,

, choose a suitable target and appropriately expand the bombing range and depth, but it must be reported to the Fleet Command!"

The shrill siren echoed on the sea surface. The Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet aircraft carrier, which had been quiet just now, suddenly became crazy. The Japanese carrier-based aircraft, which had been ready on the deck for a long time, were fully loaded with bombs and bullets. One after another, they rushed into the sky, and then

Formed in the air and headed towards the east coast of the United States.

Admiral Yamamoto stood by the porthole of the command module and watched the spectacular scene of the carrier-based aircraft taking off. He could not suppress the excitement in his heart. "Let the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy sprinkle the wounds of the Americans."

Take it with a pinch of salt!”

However, there is still a doubt in General Yamamoto's mind. The U.S. Naval Air Force deployed on the east coast of the United States has as many as fifteen wings. In terms of fighter jets alone, there are more than 700 fighter jets in eleven wings. This has not been achieved before.

The intelligence is already clear and unmistakable. If an all-out counterattack is carried out, the losses of the Army aviation fleet will not be surprising to such a slight degree. Then, where are the US Navy aviation fleets?

General Yamamoto should sincerely thank Japan's ally, Germany's energetic head of state Hitler, and more than 200,000 elite German soldiers. After landing on the South American continent, they not only brought Americans to prepare to reinforce the Australian battlefield's army, but also

They were all attracted to the southern U.S.-Mexico border, and seven of the eleven naval aviation fighter wings originally deployed on the east coast were transferred to guard against the possibility of German troops moving north.

Otherwise, the losses to the Japanese Army Air Force fleet in the first round of air strikes would not have been so slight. Of course, this was a recent deployment of the US military, and due to strict confidentiality, General Yamamoto did not receive timely information in this regard for fear of irritating the Germans.

However, General Yamamoto, who is proficient in tactics and has a keen judgment on the battlefield situation, obviously seized the opportunity. The army escort fighter group in the first round of air strikes dealt a devastating blow to the US fighter jets. Excellent fighter planes appeared. I am afraid that at this time

Are the Americans licking their wounds?

At this moment, the carrier-based aircraft of the Combined Fleet were dispatched in full force to conduct a second round of bombings on cities on the east coast of the United States. They also expanded the scope of the air strikes and consolidated the results. They would not only inflict wounds on the Americans, but also spread weapons.

It's so simple to add salt, but to stab an old wound and make Americans bleed!

As the Japanese bombers receded, from Los Angeles in the south of the East Coast, all the way north to San Francisco, Carson City, Sammler and other places, they left ruins everywhere, countless citizens killed and injured, and cities filled with smoke and fire.

Firetrucks, blaring their shrill sirens, bumped hard on the streets full of craters, trying to put out the huge fires.

The air raid came so suddenly, and a huge disaster befell the Americans. Everywhere was burning. The city groaned in pain amidst the smoke and fire, and trembled in terror and chaos. Under the rubble, the bodies of the dead were pressed.

, the wounded who were covered in blood from the bombing were lying on the street, helplessly moaning in pain. At this moment, all the cities that knew about the bombing of other aircraft groups were basically in a state of semi-paralysis!

But the Americans, who were already in pain and confusion, did not expect that a greater disaster would strike again. A carrier-based aircraft group from the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet began a second bombing!
