Age of Conquest Reborn

After a period of violent shaking, the underground headquarters of the U.S. West Coast Defense Command stabilized, but the intensive sound of artillery could still be vaguely heard. One can imagine how fierce the battle on the beachhead outside Los Angeles was.

After taking all the countermeasures that should be taken, Lieutenant General Punrak did not feel at ease. His eyes were still fixed on the military map, as if he vaguely felt that he had overlooked something important?

More than two hours later, the Japanese army's attacks on the three landing sites of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka were still going on fiercely. The bloody corpses of Japanese soldiers were everywhere on the beach and in the sea. Stepping on these corpses,

The Japanese soldiers at the back bravely braved the intensive firepower of the US military and rushed to the beach. Machine gun bullets tore their bodies apart. The shells fell on the pile of Japanese soldiers, causing blood mist to fill the sky.

The defensive U.S. soldiers were not much better. Above their heads were raindrops of bombs from Japanese bombers, and on the sea were shells. The ground fortifications had been razed to the ground. The U.S. soldiers relied on semi-underground and underground fortifications.

And a ruins, shooting at the swarming Japanese soldiers, the soldiers on both sides became red-eyed!

Perhaps stimulated by the news that the troops commanded by General Yamamoto successfully landed in the direction of Portland, Lieutenant General Hirano's eyes turned red and he became more and more crazy. He had ignored the casualties of the landing troops and gave everyone a

The order issued by each division consisted of two sentences: "Attack! Continuous attack!"

After being unable to attack for a long time, Lieutenant General Hirano felt as uncomfortable as burning in his heart. He held up a telescope to observe the battlefield situation, and then said to Chief of Staff Nobuto: "Order the guys in the Navy to move the warships as close as possible to the US military position.

Wherever possible, use large-caliber naval guns to destroy the U.S. military’s underground defenses!”

Before the attack began, Admiral Yamamoto alone gave strict orders to the other three escort fleet commanders of the Combined Fleet, "After the landing begins, you must obey the command of Vice Admiral Hirano and must not make any excuses to delay. If I hear that you

Which one. If you refuse to carry out the army commander's order, you yourself know the consequences best!"

Therefore, Vice Admiral Hirano's order was issued to the escort fleet. Although these naval commanders were reluctant, they did not dare not to execute the order. Fortunately, the US coast defense artillery was completely destroyed, and the combat aircraft could not be used at all.

There is no trace, and it is very safe to approach the beach for shelling!

One after another, the Japanese warships raised their thick muzzles. Immediately, there was a loud bang like thunder. Large-caliber shells roared across the sea and hit the US military position hard. The power was even more powerful than aerial bombs.

, causing huge casualties to the American soldiers in the underground fortifications. Even if they were not hit directly, the huge shock wave was enough to kill them.

The U.S. military's firepower showed signs of pause and sparseness. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Japanese soldiers who were suppressed on the beach quickly advanced in depth. Some light artillery had been pushed onto the coast, and artillery positions were quickly set up.

, providing fire support to the charging Japanese infantry.

Lieutenant General Hirano's tense face finally relaxed. He was envious of the navy's wealth. However, he knew in his heart that although the landing troops had landed, they had not yet gained a foothold, established a landing site, and built a solid defense.

Moreover, the beach landing battle took several hours. When the US military reinforcements arrived, the troops that had already landed on the coast would definitely be beaten back.

Now, we need to grab time and approach the suburbs of Los Angeles before the U.S. reinforcements arrive. Everything is easy to handle. "The strength of the landing force is still not strong enough! Just two divisions are not enough!" Lieutenant General Hirano sighed.

Think about it.

On the sea in Portland, the command cabin of Admiral Yamamoto's flagship seemed very quiet. The sound of gunfire on the shore was still fierce. The staff members were doing their duties. A phone suddenly rang. A staff member answered the phone, and then,

He turned back and reported to General Yamamoto: "Commander, after receiving a report from the fleet reconnaissance aircraft, a large number of US troops were discovered on the second line of US military defense, and they are heading for reinforcements in the direction of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka!"

"Aren't there any U.S. military reinforcements coming to Portland?" General Yamamoto asked strangely. It has been several hours since the battle in Portland began, and the news of Portland's fall has not yet been informed by the U.S. military command.

Isn't this too abnormal?

"Report to Commander, the reconnaissance plane is in the direction of Portland and has found no signs of US troops!"

"It's unbelievable, and it's not normal!" General Yamamoto thought hard and couldn't figure it out. Then he got rid of his doubts and said to the communications officer: "Send a telegram to Chief of Staff Minamino. The U.S. military's second-line defense forces are reinforcing the front line. The land base

The aviation team was waiting to take off, severely damaging the US reinforcements on the way, and reporting the situation discovered by the reconnaissance plane to Chief of Staff Minamino at the same time!"

After issuing a series of orders, General Yamamoto rubbed the stubble on his chin. He was still full of doubts about the fact that the second-line US troops did not reinforce Portland. He could not figure out the reason.

Under normal circumstances, the landing battle has been going on for several hours. The news of Portland being attacked must not be concealed, and I have no intention of concealing it. But why are the US troops deployed on the second line sending reinforcements in other directions?

Only Portland was not reinforced. Could it be that there was some conspiracy?

After thinking hard for a long time, General Yamamoto made up his mind, "No matter what conspiracies the Americans have in the direction of Portland, the second batch of the Army Air Force, which has been inactive, has been waiting for this moment, and will definitely give the Americans

A big surprise is that as long as the landing troops hold on in Portland until tomorrow, the second batch of landing troops will arrive. By then, the overall situation will be decided!"

The brutal landing battle lasted for more than a day in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka. In the evening, dusk enveloped the West Coast of the United States. After the Japanese troops landed on three routes and paid a huge price in casualties,

Finally, they established a firm foothold at the landing site and held a few small landing sites. Japanese follow-up troops continued to land on the West Coast of the United States.

However, they continued to advance deeper into the defense of the US military, but encountered great resistance. The US military defense forces deployed on the west coast were several times more powerful than the first batch of Japanese troops who landed, and their firepower was not bad. If the Japanese army did not control the air,

, I am afraid that this landing battle, with more than 200,000 Japanese troops, will end up with blood staining the beach and corpses floating on the sea.

Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki, the commander of the Japanese landing force, finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the reports from the three landing forces and ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to Commander Yamamoto. Our landing forces are in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Yuri."

Three places were stuck, the landing site was obtained, and the rest of the troops have all landed!"

"However, due to the stubborn resistance of the US military and the huge casualties of the troops, it is no longer able to continue to attack the US military's defense in depth. The original plan to approach the urban area and establish a stable bridgehead at the above three places is difficult to complete. Now, I have ordered the landing troops to hurry up and build

Fortifications, turn to defense on the spot, prepare to meet the U.S. military’s counterattack!”

"Due to the complicated situation on the battlefield, the staff adjusted the offensive deployment and changed the original plan. It was too late to ask the commander for instructions. Please let the commander make it clear whether the above arrangements are appropriate!"

Lieutenant General Hirano's heart was bleeding. The casualties of the troops in the other two directions were still being counted. However, the casualties of the two divisions under his command actually reached more than 12,000 people.

, that is his own direct army!

Lieutenant General Hirano also knew that this night would be the most difficult. The second batch of landing troops would not arrive until ** o'clock tomorrow morning at the earliest. For more than ten hours, the Americans would not let them go.

He stayed safely at the landing site. That night, Lieutenant General Hirano was mentally prepared to welcome the U.S. military's all-night counterattack.

After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Hirano, General Yamamoto also admired this brave general of the Army. Especially in Los Angeles and San Francisco, which are the key defense areas of the US military, Hirano was able to defeat the enemy in more than ten hours.

It was not easy to successfully land and gain a foothold. It was a victory that was paid for by the lives of Imperial Japanese Army soldiers!

General Yamamoto personally drafted a reply to Lieutenant General Hirano, "Mr. Hirano, I have received all your calls and I am deeply pleased that your decision is very correct. Our army has been fighting for a long time and our soldiers are extremely tired. In addition, our troops are limited, so it is not suitable to continue the attack."

The U.S. military's defense is deep and the top priority is to stay in place and secure the landing site!"

"Tonight is crucial. The U.S. military's counterattack will be ferocious and fierce. The response strategy should be mainly based on naval gunfire and carrier-based aircraft, supplemented by the artillery of the landing force to form a powerful firepower and give the U.S. troops who counterattack a major blow.

Killing comes first!"

Admiral Yamamoto was Lieutenant General Hirano's supporter. He was worried that this guy who was used to commanding army operations would have a few aircraft carriers and the powerful firepower of more than 20 warships to be used.

After the Japanese army occupied the beachhead, they did not continue the attack, giving the US military a chance to breathe. They fought for more than a day. The US military suffered heavy casualties. Most of the casualties were caused by Japanese combat aircraft and naval guns.

of.

At night, fires are burning everywhere in the city of Los Angeles. Thick smoke and firelight illuminate half of the sky. The air is filled with a dignified smell of burnt smoke and gunpowder smoke. This prosperous seaside city is a shipping hub on the West Coast of the United States.

, amidst the flames of war, almost in ruins.

In the underground headquarters of the U.S. West Coast Defense Command, Commander Lieutenant General Punrak and Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Woolsey were gathered around a military map to study countermeasures.

Both of them knew in their hearts that the Japanese army did not continue to attack, but switched to defense on the spot. The only reason was to defend the current landing site, which meant that a large number of Japanese follow-up troops were coming!
