Age of Conquest Reborn

Following the orders of General Jeff Field, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, the more than 200,000 Allied troops retreated desperately to major cities in southeastern Australia. The journey was not smooth.

In the sky, Japanese fighter jets and bombers were like swarms of locusts, roaring all over the sky, chasing and bombing, chasing and attacking everything they saw. Roads, bridges, passes, transportation hubs, a few people, and a car all became

The entire southeastern region of Australia, the target of Japanese combat aircraft attacks, was filled with smoke, covering the sky and the sun, and fireworks were everywhere.

On the ground, the Japanese army's fast mobile troops were like sharp knives, thrusting forward desperately. Southeast Australia was in chaos. Realizing the fatal crisis, Australian Allied Commander Lieutenant General Bachlisman and his deputy

Commander General Fernandez gave the air force commander a fatal order, "The combat forces affiliated with the Allied Air Force will provide aerial fire cover for the retreating Allied ground forces at any cost!"

On the ground, the retreating Allied troops of more than 200,000 people were panicking. In the sky, fierce fighting was taking place all the time. Both the Japanese and Allied forces used their best aerial forces to fight in southeastern Australia.

In the sky, there was a fierce battle. The number of fighters and bombers on both sides originally gave the Allies a slight advantage. Otherwise, it would not have been able to regain more than half of the air supremacy in the Australian battlefield.

However, with the rapid approach of the Japanese rapid troops and the frantic destruction of small groups of elite troops who sneaked in in advance, field airports that lacked sufficient protection were captured and lost one after another. At the same time, combat aircraft that were unable to take off at the airport were also lost.

.

Major General Noda, the commander of the Joint Air Force of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force, was also jealous. He gave only one order to several air force commanders, "Attack the Allied forces at all costs!"

Previously, after the ground forces launched an offensive and achieved impressive results, the United Air Force had no chance to take action. Seeing the imperial army on the ground, it was overwhelming. It broke through the Allied second line of defense overnight, and its own United Air Force

However, they became bystanders in this great battle that changed the outcome of the Australian War. This made Major General Noda, who regarded himself as the sweetheart of the Imperial Army, extremely depressed.

Finally, when the opportunity came to take action, Major General Noda, who was full of anger, spent all his money and attacked like crazy. He just wanted to show General Ito what the Imperial Army on the ground could not do. We all

The Empire looks at the eagle, but it can be done!

Major General Ito issued an order to the commanders of each air force, "You should immediately station and take over any Allied field airfield occupied by the Imperial Army and turn it into an outpost for the Imperial Army.

When those Japanese fighter pilots risked landing their fighter jets at field airports that were still filled with gunpowder smoke, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there were many unscathed fighter jets parked on the runways and hangars of many field airports. Moreover, it was a big Japanese

The Imperial Air Force, the most proud "Zero" fighter!

A field airport that was intact and ready for use immediately, a fighter jet that could take off into the air with full fuel and bombs. It was a gift from Amaterasu to the air warriors of the Japanese Empire. Major General Noda was very happy after receiving the report from his subordinates.

Laughing wildly with a big mouth, one goes up and down, the Australian sky will soon be dominated by the imperial aerial eagle again!

It's really sad that the Allied troops responsible for guarding these field airports retreated in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to destroy the airport, leaving everything to the Japanese in vain. A few bombs or a few fires, but

In order to escape for their lives, the evil nature of Europeans and Americans has been completely exposed.

On the Australian battlefield, the brutal aerial battle continued until May 3. The frontline field airfields were lost one after another. The Australian Allied Air Force, which lacked supplies and was unable to succeed, finally exhausted its last combat power and was unable to provide support to the retreating Allied forces.

The ground troops, no longer able to provide effective air cover, were no longer able to fight the Japanese aircraft groups and retreated to provide air defense protection for several key cities. Air supremacy over the Australian battlefield once again fell into the hands of the Japanese.

It was the turn of the Allied ground forces without air cover to suffer. Every kilometer they retreated had to pay a considerable price. By May 6, they were panting and exhausted, and were chased and beaten by the Japanese air fleet and ground rapid troops.

The Australian Allied Forces finally saw the traces of cities on the distant horizon.

On May 7th, more than 100,000 stumbling Australian Allied troops, who were hit hard and left behind corpses along the way, successively entered Ararat, Benigo, Orange and other cities, and began to deploy, preparing to fight the Japanese army.

A large-scale street battle was not bad, and they finally got ahead of more than ten rapid detachments of the Japanese army and got a chance to breathe.

The Australian Allied Forces Command, on the other hand, rushed all the way and retreated directly to Melbourne. The commander, Lieutenant General Bahlisman, and the deputy commander, General Fernandez, did not even bother to take a breath, and hurriedly ordered various troops stationed in the city to deploy.

, immediately report the current strength and weapons and equipment of the headquarters.

According to the estimates of the two men, in addition to the first batch of retreating Allied troops, plus the scattered troops gathered along the way and lucky breakouts from the second line of defense, they must have more than 300,000 troops in their hands now.

.

However, the troop strength reported by each unit was like a basin of cold water, pouring down the two commanders who were lucky enough to make the other feel cold. Even counting the wounded soldiers who could barely walk, it only took more than ten days.

, Australia originally had nearly 800,000 troops.

There are only about 260,000 Allied troops left in the continent. What is even more frightening is that because the Allied Command previously ordered the first batch of retreating Allied troops to carry only light weapons, the current Allied troops do not even have a single weapon in their hands.

There are no heavy artillery pieces and not a single tank.

There are more than a dozen cities that require defense and street fighting, especially Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney, which are the three port cities that must be defended. They are the last retreat for the Australian Allies. On average, each city's

The defensive force was less than 20,000, and it also lacked the heavy equipment necessary for defense.

Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez, who looked bitter, had no choice but to issue an order, "Each city defenders must immediately collect all heavy equipment on the spot, step up the construction of city defenses, and resolutely resist the Japanese attack. There is no headquarters."

You must not take a step back even if you fight to the last man, and those who violate it will be severely punished!"

The two men also knew in their hearts how effective the command's orders were. After leaving a maximum of 10,000 defensive troops in several cities in southeastern Australia, Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez then

More than 100,000 troops were concentrated in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney as key defensive areas. Even so, the defensive strength in each place did not exceed 40,000, while the Japanese army had more than 1 million.

The two commanders of the Australian Allied Forces were worried all day long and were busy recruiting residents from various cities to join the defense forces. The leader of the military observation team of the Allied Forces Headquarters in Australia had been hiding behind the scenes.

General MacArthur suddenly came to the door and asked for a fight.

This surprised Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez. Lieutenant General MacArthur pretended not to see the surprised and suspicious eyes of the two commanders and said bluntly: "Now the situation on the Australian battlefield has changed suddenly.

The hope of saving Australia was quite slim. In order not to annihilate the entire army, I took the initiative to volunteer and immediately rushed to the West Indies to make preparations in advance for the Allied troops that were about to retreat. This is also my duty!"

Lieutenant General Bahlisman and General Fernandez all understood at once, "At the most critical moment of the Australian war situation, this bastard has to escape first, just like when he was in Luzon Island, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of US dollars."

Army soldiers, just like escaping to Australia!"

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. They are both Americans. Although Lieutenant General Bachlisman extremely hates and despises what MacArthur did, in front of his deputy, the British, he also

It’s hard to say anything, but he looked coldly and said nothing, pretending to be immersed in the snow-like telegrams!

But General Fernandez didn't care about this. Originally, he hated this American who boasted about himself but was actually good for nothing. He made him sick to his stomach when he saw him. Now, this American bastard is running away from the battle again. That's not polite at all.

He said without concealment: "Lieutenant General MacArthur, you are the leader of the military observation team assigned to the Australian battlefield by the Allied Forces Headquarters. You are not from the Australian Allied Forces Command, and you have no affiliation. You can go wherever you want, as you please!"

"The Australian Allied Forces Command has no right to stop you or order you to do anything. However, you should not use the name of the Australian Allied Forces Command. All your actions are personal actions and have nothing to do with the Australian Allied Forces Command."

It doesn’t matter!”

"I'm very busy here now. Please leave immediately and don't disturb my work. Of course, if Commander Bahlisman has time, you can talk alone!"

General Fernandez's words were direct and clear enough. Go wherever you fall in love and get out of here. His disgust and contempt were beyond words. If he hadn't kept his gentlemanly demeanor and cared about Bahlisman's face, he would have done it.

He had to order the guards to drive away this American bastard who was famous for running away immediately. Even his own boss was resentful!

Lieutenant General Bahlisman, how could he not hear what this British man meant? He was also so ashamed that a disgraceful guy appeared in the ranks of American generals. How could he think about it? This man had completely disgraced his beauty.

The shameless bastard said bluntly: "I'm sorry, General MacArthur, I have so many military affairs in my hands right now, and I don't have time to waste. Please do as you please!"

The two commanders of the Australian Allied Forces Command expressed their attitudes, but strangely, Lieutenant General MacArthur had no intention of leaving immediately.
