Age of Conquest Reborn

Hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers on the Australian battlefield did not know that the Allied headquarters had issued an order to retreat. Their two commanders had already begun preliminary preparations and were still engaged in a bloody battle with the Japanese army.&{}..

{}

Since the Japanese army changed its tactics and fighting methods, large-scale attacks like those in March have basically disappeared. However, the Japanese army's small-scale attacks like playing a piano are carried out everywhere on the entire front, with artillery blasts all day long.

Roaring, gunshots, gunpowder smoke and war flames filled the sky over Northern Australia. The warm April sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke and the pungent smell of blood.

Fortunately, the air supremacy was not completely controlled by the Japanese, because the casualties caused by Japanese bombers to Allied soldiers were greatly reduced. However, in recent times, the rampant momentum of Japanese aircraft seems to have recovered. Generally speaking,

It is said that the Allied forces are still in a state of passive defense and being beaten.

On the opposite side of the battlefield, General Ito Genzaburo, commander-in-chief of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, was in a good mood in April. After changing tactics and fighting methods, the losses of the Imperial Army soldiers were reduced, and the advantages on the battlefield were

It was further expanded. If the Allied air force had not taken away half of the air supremacy on the battlefield, everything would have been perfect.

General Ito has absolute confidence that the Australian Allied Forces will be completely exhausted before the end of this year. Therefore, he is not in a hurry now and will consume the Allied Forces bit by bit without suffering heavy losses in the dispatched troops, and finally launch a

A fatal blow, completely solving Australia's problems.

However, Admiral Ito's leisurely mentality disappeared after he learned that Admiral Yamamoto Goto of the Navy commanded the Army and Navy aviation forces to conduct large-scale bombings on the east coast of the United States and achieved great results.

General Ito was anxious, so anxious that stars appeared in his eyes. He always believed that the first to set foot on the United States should be the brave and capable Imperial Army, not the Navy, which was coaxed but could not determine the final outcome of the war. Now, this honor

, was taken away by the Navy guys. As a man with more than one million elite soldiers, how can I swallow this breath?

What determines the outcome of the war is the warships and aircraft of the Army and Navy. Can they land on American soil? General Ito decided to request a war. In his request for war to the base camp, he wrote, "After several years, especially

In recent months, the offensive against the Australian Allied Forces and the situation on the Australian battlefield have been completely in favor of the Empire. After a long period of attrition, the Allied forces are already exhausted!"

"Therefore, the time is ripe for a final blow against the Australian Allied Forces. Ito requested the base camp to approve the request to immediately launch a general attack on the Australian Allied Forces, so as to end the Australian war as soon as possible and gain enough time for the next attack on the United States.

, the operational plan for launching a general offensive is being formulated and will be reported to the base camp later!"

General Ito's invitation to fight was not out of blind competitiveness. He was already a veteran on the battlefield. Recently, through the intelligence sent back by hidden agents, he discovered that there will be no new Allied reinforcements in the near future.

, arrived at the Australian battlefield.

This was an opportunity. Of course, General Ito understood that the only reason why the Allies did not continue to reinforce the Australian battlefield was that guy Yamamoto's bombing of the east coast of the United States. However, he was unwilling to admit this from the bottom of his heart.

Before General Ito's war request telegram was sent out, he received a secret telegram from the base camp. As soon as he read the contents of the telegram, he was discouraged, "The empire's current strategic focus is still on solving the Australian war problem. The prerequisite is that the empire

The troops on the battlefield in Australia cannot suffer excessive losses. You should be prepared for this. His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp will not seek to quickly solve the Australian problem at the expense of the maximum casualties of the Imperial Army soldiers!"

Well, all the problems have returned to the same old ways. General Ito angrily tore up the nearly finished telegram. After calming down, he saw some clues from the secret telegrams in the base camp to completely solve the problem of Australia.

Problem, but without paying heavy casualties, then what I am doing right now is on the right track. Furthermore, isn’t the Empire’s Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force doing something to contain and consume the Australian Allied Forces?

Well, what the base camp is worried about is that most or part of the Australian Allied Forces will withdraw to the United States, which will increase difficulties for future landing operations in the United States. After understanding this, General Ito feels much better. However, if he wants to

To complete what I guessed, the current offensive intensity is obviously not enough.

The next day, General Ito issued a new order to the front-line offensive troops, "From now on, the attack on the Allied positions will be changed from a small-scale attack at the brigade level to a medium-scale attack above the coalition level, and the attack will

The density and frequency are doubled!”

General Ito gave an order, and the more than one million Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, regained their energy from March and began a fierce attack. Suddenly, the artillery fire on the front burned half of the

In the sky, combat aircraft from both sides began to fight fiercely. The Allies' second line of defense became tense, and the casualties of the troops also increased sharply.

The Japanese army's uncharacteristically ferocious attack frightened Australian Allied Commander Lieutenant General Bahlisman and Deputy Commander General Fernandez. They thought that the Japanese commanders were aware of the Allied forces' quiet preparations for retreat.

The intensity and density of the attack have been increased, and the Allies are not prepared to withdraw!

It was not until three days later that the two Allied commanders, who were so nervous that they almost suffocated, finally realized that although the Japanese attack suddenly intensified, it was by no means a total attack on the entire front. Otherwise, the second line of defense would withstand

The pressure is not only that, but more likely, it is a tactic to further consume the Allied forces.

This is indeed the case. After three days of fierce fighting, not a single Allied position was lost. However, the casualties of soldiers increased several times. The situation on the front line was stabilized. The two men spent their main energy on arranging a retreat.

Things come up.

So far, the secret order for the retreat of the Allied headquarters has only been known to two people. The confidentiality is absolutely confidential, but the pressure is also very huge. The withdrawal of hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers from the battlefield is a cumbersome and meticulous matter.

According to the plan, which troops would be the first to board the ship, which troops would serve as rearguards, and how to withdraw from the second line of defense without being noticed by the Japanese army.

When to start retreating, which troops to withdraw first, which ports to assemble, how to ensure that the troop assembly location is not bombed by Japanese aircraft, and many other issues, it depends on the two commanders to plan and decide, and even even

Neither the Chief of Staff of the Australian Allied Forces Command nor Lieutenant General Wagnerizer, whose talent and loyalty are in question, can be disclosed.

The composition of the Australian Allied Forces is very complex. It includes American and Philippine soldiers who were the first to withdraw to Australia from Luzon and Mindanao, British and Australian troops who have been stationed in Australia, and Commonwealth troops from New Zealand and other places.

Soldiers, if you count them carefully, there are at least seven or eight soldiers from various countries and regions that make up the Australian Allied Forces, a typical hodgepodge!

Which unit will board the ship first and which unit will serve as the rearguard is the biggest problem facing the two commanders. Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez know the situation on the Australian battlefield better than anyone else. The unit that serves as the rearguard is almost the same.

It was a narrow escape. Hundreds of thousands of Allied troops evacuated from the second line of defense. The movement was not small. It might have been hidden from the Japanese army at first, but it could not remain unnoticed by the Japanese army.

Once the retreat is noticed by the Japanese army, the rearguard troops will face a ferocious attack by more than one million Japanese soldiers. They must use their lives to block it and slow down the Japanese pursuit. This is basically a job that will lead to death. Who is willing to do it?

On this point, there is no difference between the gentlemen of the British Empire and the generals of the United States. They both agree that British soldiers are the capital for the future recovery of the British Isles.

The remaining bloodline must not be wasted on the Australian battlefield.

American soldiers are used to defend the mainland of the United States, and they cannot lose their lives meaninglessly on the Australian battlefield. Moreover, the United States is the last piece of land that the Allies must hold on to. It is the location of the Allied Powers headquarters, and it is not the same as the Japanese and Germans.

The fundamentals of competition are that American soldiers have the responsibility and obligation to fight for their country.

Since the two commanders have the same view, everything will be easy to handle. The troops serving as the rear guard are mainly Filipino soldiers from the US-Philippine Army and soldiers from Commonwealth countries. As for the Australian soldiers from the British-Australian Army

, with the same language and race as the British Empire, they can be regarded as brothers, and they cannot be left to serve as rear guards.

Of course, it is still a bit uncertain for a rearguard force composed entirely of these soldiers to block more than one million Japanese troops. If they surrender without a fight, everything will be over. Therefore, Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez agreed,

The British and American troops each left a main division unit to join the rearguard. However, it was not used to fight on the front line, but to play a role in supervising operations and monitoring.

The two men even had detailed plans for the retreat of these two troops. Based on this distinction, the number of Allied troops serving as rearguard was about 300,000, and the rest were the first and second batches that needed to be evacuated.

There are about 400,000 British, American and Australian soldiers. The scale is so huge that both of them feel numb just thinking about it.

The Filipino soldiers and soldiers from other Commonwealth countries who were still fighting bloody battles with the Japanese on the front line had no idea that they were destined to become cannon fodder. Their only role was to cover the noble British, American and Australian soldiers to safely withdraw to

West Indies, sad fate, betrayed or abandoned?

On the issue of the withdrawal of Allied troops, Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez had no differences and were in harmony. However, on the following issue, the differences between the two men were simply polar opposites.
