Age of Conquest Reborn

"What? Your Excellency, Commander!" The communications officer of the Combined Fleet, who held the rank of Navy Colonel, was momentarily stunned and exclaimed, hesitantly reminding: "Is your order wrong?"

Admiral Yamamoto's last words were enough to make the communications officer's jaw drop. The fire preparations had just begun, and the landing force was still on the sea. Who could predict what would happen next? Maybe the landing battle might take a few days.

, Your Excellency, Commander, is now ordering to report the victory to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp. Is this a joke?

General Yamamoto, who was in a good mood, did not blame the communications officer for his suspicion, but repeated gently but unquestionably: "Send a telegram to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp, hurricane has made landfall!"

General Yamamoto is not sure about the three directions of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka. Perhaps the landing battle will be very fierce, and the landing time of the troops is more likely to be delayed. But in the direction of Portland, General Yamamoto has

I am 100% certain that while His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp were still shocked by this telegram, three divisions of Marines had already landed on the beach in Portland.

General Yamamoto's strong self-confidence is based on his choice of the main assault landing site and powerful sea and air firepower. Portland is definitely the weakest point in the US military's west coast defense system, and compared to Los Angeles and San Francisco

Among other places, Portland is located further north, further away from the Hawaiian Islands, where the Imperial Army's main gathering place is, and there is no large port. From a military perspective, it is very unsuitable for large-scale landing operations.

In this way, many factors are intertwined. Using Portland as the main landing and breakthrough direction is definitely a decisive move to win by surprise. In terms of firepower preparation, there are three Marine divisions with all German equipment, and one division with four aircraft carriers.

The fleet, two fighter wings of the land-based air force, and three bomber wings were able to completely level the U.S. military defense system at the Portland landing site in an instant.

The Japanese army's mixed army and aviation fleet and navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet used countless heavy aerial bombs to shroud the U.S. defense system in Portland in a sea of ​​smoke and fire. Under the gloomy sky, the fire caused by the bomb explosion was like

Like lightning penetrating from the dark clouds, it struck the earth violently and densely. Portland was submerged in the smoke of gunpowder in the sky.

The U.S. military's ground defense system has not yet been fully formed. Under the combined firepower of the Japanese navy and air force, it was torn to pieces in an instant like a piece of paper. When the Japanese warships approached, the shells fired by the large-caliber naval guns would be hidden underground.

The fortifications were destroyed horribly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" In the sky, a mixed fleet of Japanese aircraft roared and dropped bombs. On the sea, large-caliber naval guns poured out powerful shells wantonly. Portland, a small town on the west coast of the United States, was like

Submerged in hot magma.

Brigadier General Salavi, commander of the 134th Infantry Division of the U.S. Ninth Group Army defending Portland, had just picked up the phone when the semi-underground division headquarters was hit by more than a dozen heavy aerial bombs, followed by a violent explosion.

,earth and fire,

Mixed with the diffuse black smoke, it rose into the sky. On the ground, several huge craters were still emitting smoke. The 134th Division headquarters, together with the division commander, Brigadier General Sarawi, disappeared in the December overcast on the west coast of the United States.

In the heavy sky.

Perhaps Brigadier General Sarawi will never believe it until his death, how could the Japanese bombers find the location of the division headquarters so accurately?

In order to defeat the United States, its rival for hegemony in the Pacific, and to devote all its efforts to a war, the Japanese have prepared for a long time. The Japanese secret service organization lurking in the United States has used amazing perseverance and sacrifice to fight for the Japanese North American Combat Command.

It provides a large amount of detailed information on the defense deployment of the US military along the west coast of the United States. The location of the 134th Division headquarters is one of the information.

Within twenty minutes, the Japanese land-based aviation mixed fleet, naval carrier-based aircraft fleet, and fleet artillery group used tens of thousands of tons of steel to blast the town of Portland and its surrounding areas as desolate as the moon. The U.S. 134th

The infantry division, a defense force of more than 15,000 people, suffered most of its casualties within twenty minutes. Most of them accompanied the fortifications and disappeared amidst the volcanic eruption of bombing and artillery. All the beachheads became

It became a huge crater.

Just twenty minutes after arriving, countless assault boats and landing craft, loaded with Japanese Marines, shot straight at the beach like arrows. Twenty minutes later, the first batch of Japanese soldiers had already set foot on Portland Beach.

On the land, three signal flares rose up in the smoke, shining strangely green under the gloomy sky.

In the flagship command module, General Yamamoto put down his telescope, with a reserved smile on his lips, picked up a glass of sake, drank it in one gulp, then raised his head and closed his eyes, with a few tears sliding down his thin cheeks.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have received a report from the 7th Marine Division. Its leading unit has successfully landed on Portland Beach. It has encountered minimal resistance. The main force of the division is attacking the US military defenses in depth!

"Rear Admiral Binshan, Director of the Operations Division of the Combined Fleet Headquarters, dashed into the command cabin without grace, and with a trembling voice, shouted as if he was crazy, "Commander, we succeeded! We succeeded!"

"

"I understand, Binshan-kun!" General Yamamoto said calmly, "Binshan-kun, order the follow-up landing troops of the 7th Division to quickly clear out the remaining U.S. troops in the Portland area in accordance with the scheduled combat plan and hurry up for repairs.

Fortifications, all the 10th and 11th divisions, quickly move south to attack, seize Eureka, and coordinate the landing of the two army divisions!"

"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander, convey your order immediately!" Major General Binshan shouted in a loud voice, with a sickly rosy face. He was already a little crazy with excitement, witnessing with his own eyes the Imperial Army of the Imperial Japanese Army, boarding the

In the United States, how many officers are there in the entire empire's North American Combat Command?

"Communications officer!" General Yamamoto looked at Major General Binshan and almost ran out with a kind smile on his face, shaking his head and shouting.

Admired, full of admiration, the Communications Officer of the Combined Fleet Commander ran over quickly. Looking at Admiral Yamamoto's eyes at this moment, it was as if he was worshiping. He was ashamed that he had just questioned the victory telegram of His Excellency the Commander, "Commander Yamamoto's

Confidence is innate, and it is beyond my reach. I am such a fool and a pig, that I doubted the words of your Excellency the Commander!"

Now, the Commander is calling him again, and the communications officer can't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, "Send a telegram to Chief of Staff Minamino immediately, and the second batch of landing troops will board the ship on time!" General Yamamoto glanced at his frightened subordinates,

With a gentle smile, he ordered, "Also, send a telegram to order the commander of the landing force, Lieutenant General Hirano, to immediately report the battle situation in the other three landing directions! At the same time, tell him that the imperial army successfully landed in the direction of Portland!"

Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki's headquarters is located on a large landing ship, not far from the beach of Los Angeles. Shells fired by the U.S. military's shore defense artillery fall on the sea from time to time, stirring up water jets around the landing ship.

, the cold December waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean splashed on the deck, splashing wet the uniforms of the officers.

Chief of Staff Major General Nobuto has persuaded Lieutenant General Hirano several times to move the landing force headquarters to a safe distance, but Lieutenant General Hirano refused. His only reason was that he could observe it at close range.

Turning to the situation of the landing force, Lieutenant General Hirano is now standing on the deck of the landing ship, holding a telescope and looking in the direction of Los Angeles. He is surrounded by shells whizzing down and water columns scattered in the air.

Lieutenant General Hirano saw that despite suffering a large-scale bombing by the Empire's land-based bombers, the US military defense system in the direction of Los Angeles had not been completely destroyed, especially the beachhead at the landing site, which was hidden in the underground US military bunker.

In the dense rain of bullets, the soldiers of the Seventh Army jumped into the waist-deep water from the landing craft and assault boats. They fell into the sea in pieces. You could even see the spread of bright red blood.

"Damn it!" Lieutenant General Hirano muttered. The Seventh Army was his own unit, and he didn't care how many casualties there were. But in the beach landing battle, if he fell behind other units, his face would be lost.

"Nobuto-kun!" Lieutenant General Hirano called his chief of staff, "immediately contact the air force and focus the bombing on the beachhead of the landing site. At the same time, order the 23rd Division and the 25th Division to carry out operations at all costs.

, Seize the beachhead! Give them three hours. If I don’t see the signal flare indicating a successful landing by then, the two division commanders will commit suicide by caesarean section!"

Chief of Staff Nobuto was agitated and felt that Commander Hirano's order seemed not quite correct. Looking at the intensity and density of firepower of the US soldiers' counterattack on the Los Angeles beachhead, the Seventh Army's landing force was destined to fight a hard and bloody battle.

The corpses of Seventh Army soldiers floating on the sea in Los Angeles illustrate this point. There is no doubt that the landing was successful in the end, but it could not be completed in just three hours. The commander was impatient.

!

Just when Chief of Staff Nobuto was about to give the commander a few words of advice, a communications staff officer hurried over and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have received a telegram from Commander Yamamoto that the Imperial Marine Corps has successfully landed in the direction of Portland. The battle is over."

The process only takes twenty minutes!”

"Now, the Imperial Marine Corps is using one division to clear out the remaining U.S. troops in the direction of Portland and consolidate the landing site. The other two divisions have already attacked in the direction of Eureka. Commander Yamamoto ordered that they immediately

Report on our landing battles in these three directions!"

"What?" Lieutenant General Hirano shouted in disbelief. It only took twenty minutes for the troops commanded by Commander Yamamoto to land in Portland. How is this possible?
