Age of Conquest Reborn

General Yamamoto's method was to very generously allocate more than a thousand combat aircraft supported by the Germans to the Army Aviation Force to make up for their combat losses. The navy did not retain any of them. In fact, the Germans

The supporting combat aircraft are all used by land-based aircraft. There is not a single carrier-based aircraft. Even if you want to keep them, the naval fleet cannot use them. So why not just be generous to the end?

Admiral Yamamoto's move showed his selfless fairness and impartial attitude towards the army and navy. It calmed down all the grievances and anger in one fell swoop. The voices of criticism from the local people and the combat troops immediately disappeared, and he also won a "brave to break the mainland"

He has the reputation of being the first person he meets in the Navy!

During this period, he and Chief of Staff General Minamino spent a lot of energy and spent countless sleepless nights to finally work out how to land on the west coast of the United States and how to conduct deep operations in the United States after landing.

The complete plan is named "Hurricane Operation Plan!"

The implementation time of this combat plan was tentatively set at 6:00 pm on November 29, 1941, when it officially started. As night fell, the first batch of nine divisions of the Army troops to carry out the landing mission

, more than 200,000 troops began to board ships at various assembly points. After a night's sailing, they arrived at several planned attack locations on the west coast of the United States. Then, under the cover of the fleet's naval guns and the powerful sea and air firepower of the aviation fleet,

The army began to land on the beach.

The selected landing sites were Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka. Each landing site used two first-class divisions with more than 40,000 troops. But this was not the most important landing site. The main landing site was chosen.

In Portland, on the north west coast of the United States.

Portland is a very ordinary small place on the west coast of the United States. There is no large port anywhere. In terms of geographical location and importance, it cannot be compared with places such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. From an offensive point of view, it is not suitable for large-scale ports at all.

The tonnage of warships is close to the beach, and there is no port that can be used. Therefore, the Japanese Navy's naval gun firepower can provide limited fire support, and it is not suitable as a main landing site from any perspective.

However, General Yamamoto and Chief of Staff General Minamino were two Japanese commanders who did not follow the conventional rules. They chose Portland as the main landing breakthrough point, which was an original plan. Portland's geographical location happened to be in the middle of Kabul.

Between the Scot Ridge and the Sierra Nevada, the two mountain ranges do not completely overlap here, but there is a gap more than fifty kilometers wide.

It is most suitable for large-scale armored groups to carry out assaults. The landing troops do not need to seize and break through the mountainous areas on the west coast of the United States. General Yamamoto plans to invest more than 80,000 strong troops in three divisions in the direction of Portland, and is equipped with Germany's latest

Assistance heavy combat vehicles. More than 350 heavy combat vehicles from two brigades serve as the main assault armored force.

Moreover, in this main landing direction, the Army Aviation was also assigned, four fighter wings equipped with German fighters, two bomber wings, and the huge sea and air firepower of a squadron with two aircraft carriers as the core.

Precisely because the Portland area is extremely unsuitable for landing operations, it is also an area that is easily overlooked by the U.S. West Coast Defense Command. The U.S. military's defense system and defense strength are far less than those in places such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.

After the successful landing in the direction of Portland, the Japanese troops of the three first-class divisions did not attack the United States in depth. Instead, one division stayed at the landing site, while the other two divisions turned south and headed toward Los Angeles and

Attack and advance in the direction of San Francisco, destroying the defense system on the west coast of the United States in one fell swoop, and establishing four to six stable landing sites. Then, the second batch of landing troops, totaling 12 divisions and more than 250,000 troops, began to establish troops on the west coast of the United States.

Landing at the landing field.

The troop transport fleet that transported the troops that landed shamelessly began to return, and then transported the follow-up troops. From the tactical point of view of General Yamamoto, the only mission of the first batch of Japanese landing troops was to establish several stable bridgeheads on the west coast of the United States to ensure that

Follow-up troops, land safely.

Two batches of about 460,000 troops may not be enough to attack the U.S. mainland in depth in the past, but there is still no problem in holding a few landing sites. The prerequisite is that they must withstand the fierce counterattack of the U.S. military for more than two days. Therefore,

, the first two batches of landing troops used the most powerful divisions, including three Marine Corps divisions.

When the U.S. Army Air Forces are exhausted to the point of being unsustainable, it is completely possible to hold the bridgehead for more than two days. Without the threat of the U.S. Army Air Forces, the sky over the west coast of the United States belongs to the Empire of Japan. This is also

The original intention and starting point of General Yamamoto's formulation of the "Wolf Attack Tactics".

From the heart of General Yamamoto, he certainly hopes that the first batch of landing troops will reach more than 500,000 troops. If so, he can be 100% sure of success. With air control, the US military does not need more than 1 million troops.

It is impossible to repel the landing forces of the Imperial Japanese Empire in anti-landing operations with human strength. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the empire's maritime transportation capabilities, it can only invest more than 200,000 troops at a time.

The number of Japanese troops used to fight in the United States will exceed 1.2 million. According to the plan of General Yamamoto and General Minamino, the entire landing operation will take at least two weeks to transport all the troops to

Native American.

The complexity of the entire hurricane landing operation plan is unprecedented. Various specific problems that need to be formulated and solved are intricate and intricate, involving troop transportation, fleet escort, infantry and artillery coordination, ground and air firepower coordination, sea and air firepower coordination, and Haitian firepower.

Cooperate

In all aspects, even with the abilities of General Yamamoto and General Minamino, they were exhausted mentally and mentally. Fortunately, they were finally completed. After locking the landing plan in the safe, both of them felt a sense of exhaustion.

feeling.

After only one day's rest, General Yamamoto and General Minamino, regardless of their fatigue, took their hard work and the "Hurricane Operation Plan", the hope of the Japanese Empire to dominate the Pacific, on a special plane and rushed back to Tokyo in person to pay tribute to the Japanese Empire.

His Majesty the Emperor reported to the big bosses in the base camp that as soon as it is approved, the plan will begin to enter the countdown stage.

From June to the end of September 1941, not only the Japanese and Germans were busy, but also the nervous Americans. Tang Qiuli in Yangon, Indochina, was not idle either, but

The level of busyness obviously did not reach the point of nervousness.

During this period, what Tang Qiuli needs to do is to check the information analysis center of the General Staff Office, the Operations Office and the Intelligence Office every day, summarize and synthesize more than a hundred groups of special operations detachments that have sneaked into the Japanese-occupied islands in the Southwest Pacific, and find out

The intelligence returned and Yu Deshui's intelligence office collected the intelligence through various channels, and then studied the content of the intelligence with deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng and chief of staff Zhao Yuhe.

Although this massive amount of intelligence has been sorted and summarized, the information reflected is fragmented. Tang Qiuli wanted to put these fragmented intelligence together into a complete information map of the Japanese-occupied islands in the southwest Pacific.

After more than two months of busy work, a picture of the Japanese-occupied southwest Pacific region became increasingly clear in Tang Qiuli's mind. Among them, there were two pieces of information that aroused his great concern.

One is about the current distribution of Japanese garrison forces in Australia. From the intelligence point of view, the Japanese base camp is still very confident about Australia, leaving only more than 100,000 defensive troops. The emphasis is far less than that of stationing them separately.

With more than 300,000 troops in Kalimantan and Sumatra,

Tang Qiuli could deduce the Japanese intentions. With Kalimantan and Sumatra blocking the Indo-China Peninsula, Australia is relatively safe. If Kalimantan and Sumatra are Japanese outposts to defend against their own attack, Australia is

In the rear, the independent division troops had no reason to go as far as East India, but they attacked Australia first. The heavy troops in the front were a typical defensive posture.

There was a wicked smile on Tang Qiuli's lips. Who said that the battle for the islands was to be fought one by one step by step? Even that guy MacArthur created the famous "leapfrog tactic" in history. How could he follow it?

The conventional way of playing, competing with the little devils island by island, slowly chewing them one bite at a time?

However, this idea is just a rough idea now. Tang Qiuli still needs to look at the progress of the war on the North American continent and the changes in the Japanese defensive strength on the islands in the southwest Pacific in the next few months. Finally,

Only then will the specific play method be determined!

Another telegram was sent back personally by Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment who had sneaked into Kalimantan. The intelligence provided provided information on the deployment of Japanese troops and the island's defense system, which were different from those of other special operations detachment groups.

What a difference.

The only thing Chu Tian mentioned is, "Division Commander, the Japanese Supreme Command stationed on the island, probably due to the lack of troops, recruited a large number of Indonesian indigenous residents locally and formed a force of more than 50,000 people.

, and gave it the title of 'The First Corps of the Imperial Japanese Army of Indochina'. Its structure is divided into ten detachments, and officers at all levels from captain to squad leader are all served by Japanese military officers!"

"The weapons and equipment used are exactly the same as the Japanese army's active equipment, and the training is very strict. It can be seen that the Japanese army attaches great importance to this local indigenous army. Therefore, I am worried that this Japanese army's servant army who is familiar with the local conditions

, is very likely to become a major obstacle for us to attack Kalimantan Island, hereby remind you!"

"Indonesian monkey!" Tang Qiuli's face immediately darkened, his heart felt a sharp pain, and his hands clenched into fists. He could not forget the several atrocities and inhumane massacres committed by Indonesian indigenous people in history!

Tang Qiusheng noticed his unusual behavior and ugly expression, and asked strangely: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
