Age of Conquest Reborn

The night of December 7, 1941, on the battlefield on the west coast of the United States, was the most critical night, related to the victory or defeat of a war, both for the Japanese and the Americans.

Lieutenant General Penrack, Commander of the U.S. West Coast Defense Force, and Rear Admiral Woolsey, Chief of Staff, understand this even more. If the Japanese troops who have already landed can stand firm and hold the landing site, and subsequent Japanese landing troops arrive, the West Coast defense line will

Immediately everything collapsed.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Penrak decided that all the Japanese troops who had landed must be driven out of the sea tonight, and when the reinforcements deployed on the second line arrived, the west coast defense line was still strong. He opened his eyes full of bloodshot eyes and asked

: "Chief of Staff Woolsey, we still have several organized troops that can be put into counterattack against the Japanese landing troops!"

Chief of Staff Woolsey quickly looked at the record book in his hand and replied: "Commander, what the staff knows is that two infantrymen from the Sixth Marine Division, the Eighth Marine Division, and the Eleventh Army

division, a mechanized infantry division of the Fifteenth Army, a tank battalion, an infantry division of the Sixteenth Army, and a motorized infantry regiment. Because they are our battle reserves, they are deployed in the rear. The losses are minor and they are still intact.

Establishment!”

"Five infantry divisions, one mechanized division, one motorized infantry regiment and one tank battalion are barely enough!" Lieutenant General Peng Lake said to himself, and then asked: "Deputy Commander Brennan's Army Air Force,

How many more combat aircraft can be dispatched?"

"According to Deputy Commander Brennan, with all the combat aircraft of the Army Aviation, two fighter wings and two bomber wings can be dispatched. However, because of the Japanese Navy's carrier-based aircraft force, the number of combat aircraft will be very high.

It far exceeds the number of combat aircraft currently owned by the Army Aviation. He is very pessimistic and worries that the last bit of capital of the Army Aviation will be exhausted!" Chief of Staff Woolsey answered truthfully.

"Also, Deputy Commander Brennan did not carry out the order you issued earlier. The order for Army aviation combat aircraft to attack Japanese troop transports and convoys at all costs!" After thinking about it, Chief of Staff Woolsey

He still said what he had been holding in his heart.

"Asshole! How long has it been? He still cares about his little family fortune! We will all be finished together by then!" Lieutenant General Penrack was furious, slamming the table and roaring, "Immediately order Brennan,

All combat aircraft of the Army Aviation were immediately dispatched to attack the Japanese warships on the sea near Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka. The guns of the Japanese Navy warships are the biggest threat to us!"

"Tell him not to say anything to me. It's night now and combat aircraft can't be dispatched. That's bullshit! Chief of Staff, you clearly told Lieutenant General Brennan that if he continues to refuse to carry out the orders of the Defense Headquarters, he will prepare to join the military.

Let’s go to court!”

"Also, issue an order immediately. The troops of the 6th and 8th Marine Divisions will immediately launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops landing in the direction of Eureka. A mechanized infantry division of the 15th Army will be assigned a tank battalion.

, also, an infantry division of the 11th Group Army immediately launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops landing in the direction of Los Angeles. An infantry division of the 16th Group Army and an infantry division of the 11th Group Army, attached to a motorized infantry regiment, immediately launched a counterattack on the Japanese troops landing in Los Angeles.

The Japanese troops landing in the direction of San Francisco counterattack!"

"It is particularly emphasized in the order that each counterattack force must maintain a continuous counterattack posture without worrying about the casualties of the troops. Tonight is a critical night related to the fate of the west coast defense line. I hope commanders at all levels will understand that if that force

If the troops fail to counterattack, I will enforce battlefield discipline - give him a bullet with my own hands!"

Lieutenant General Penrak's eyes were red, and he told Chief of Staff Woolsey with murderous intent that he was ready to risk everything. Even if he spent all his money, he would push the landed Japanese troops into the sea. Otherwise, the entire west coast defense line would be destroyed.

The ending of collapse!

At this time, Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki had already moved the landing headquarters to the shore. He and a large group of staff stood on a sandbag, holding up a telescope and looking in the direction of Los Angeles. Compared with the fierce battle during the day,

At this moment, the sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield has become sparse.

But from time to time, tracer bullets can be seen dragging their long tails, penetrating the night sky and disappearing into the distance. Occasionally, a ball of fire flashes, followed by the sound of explosions, and the cool and salty sea breeze, mixed with a thick

The smell of gunpowder smoke lingers around!

"I don't like quiet battlefields!" Lieutenant General Hirano lamented, Chief of Staff Major General Shinto.

Having followed Major General Hirano for many years, Chief of Staff Nobuto understood his superior's intention and said with a serious face: "Commander, things will not be peaceful soon. The Americans on the opposite side may be preparing for a counterattack!"

"After tonight, you and I may become the heroes of the Japanese Empire that will go down in history, or we may become one of the tens of thousands of corpses of the empire's brave soldiers on this beach in a foreign country!" Lieutenant General Hirano slowly told the staff around him.

He said, "Everyone must be mentally prepared for this. If necessary, we will all pick up our guns and fight!"

"Hai!" the staff members responded in unison, "I swear to serve the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor to the death, and the staff and others are willing to follow Your Majesty the Commander and die in battle!"

More than two hours later, the U.S. military's counterattack began. Lieutenant General Punrak mobilized all the reserves and divided into three groups to counterattack in the direction of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka. Thanks to the dark night and the power of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, the large

At a discount, the U.S. soldiers could launch a ferocious attack on the three landing sites defended by the Japanese army without being severely suppressed by Japanese aerial firepower.

But the disadvantages of the night are also mutual. The combat aircraft that the U.S. Army Air Forces can piece together cannot pose a threat to the Japanese escort fleet. Lieutenant General Penrack said it fiercely, but the objective conditions are like this. He really can't bring Bren

How about Lieutenant General Nan?

Therefore, the heavy equipment of both sides was mainly artillery. The artillery shells shuttled through the night sky like meteors and plunged into the earth, bursting into flames. The Japanese army, armed with the latest German equipment, had a huge disadvantage in terms of the number, caliber, and range of the artillery.

In terms of power and power, it even exceeded the artillery equipped by the US military. What was even more beneficial was that the range and power of the large-caliber naval guns of Japanese naval warships anchored offshore caused heavy casualties to the US military counterattack forces.

In the dark night, as soon as the U.S. military's counterattack began, the battlefield was enveloped in a bloody storm. From the beginning, the battle reached a fever pitch, with artillery shells constantly exploding in the piles of soldiers on both sides.

The blood mist exploded each living body.

The U.S. military's first counterattack failed to achieve any results, and the Japanese troops were repulsed. On the battlefield, a large number of mutilated corpses of soldiers from both sides lay on the battlefield. The situation was reported to Lieutenant General Penrak's headquarters, and he did not hesitate at all.

Give orders to each unit: "Continue to fight back!"

"Ding ding ding!" A phone suddenly rang on the table. Chief of Staff Major General Woolsey answered the phone. After listening to a few words, his face immediately turned pale, "What? Repeat it again..."

..Is this true? How is it possible? I will immediately report to Commander Punrak that you must block the Japanese troops heading south to the north of Eureka... It is very difficult! You must persevere even if it is difficult.

live!"

"Commander, very bad news!" Chief of Staff Woolsey said with dry lips: "I just received a report from the Medford garrison in the north of Eureka. There are at least three divisions of Japanese troops in one force.

It is approaching in the direction of Eureka, and now, fierce fighting is already going on in Medford, fifty kilometers north of Eureka!"

"What did you say?" Lieutenant General Punrak almost shouted, "It's impossible. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers came out from that direction. Why was there no warning in advance? Where did the Japanese land?

of?"

"Commander, it is very possible that we landed in Portland!" Chief of Staff Woolsey replied as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Based, what I need is solid evidence!" Lieutenant General Punrak was almost going crazy. With trembling fingers, he found the location of Portland on the military map.

Chief of Staff Woolsey swallowed hard and said: "About forty minutes after the Japanese launched the landing attack, the headquarters lost contact with the 134th Infantry Division headquarters of the Portland garrison because it was impossible to judge the Japanese at that time.

As for the specific landing location, the defenders from all over the place are calling the police, so..."

"What happened next?" Lieutenant General Punrak already had a premonition that tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers might have really landed in Portland.

"The headquarters radio has been calling the 134th Division Headquarters, but has not been contacted!"

"Portland has been lost? The 134th Infantry Division has been completely wiped out?"

"Judging from the tens of thousands of Japanese troops who have moved south to attack Eureka, I'm afraid this is the case!"

"How could this happen?" Lieutenant General Punrak, as if he had lost all his bones, slumped in his chair, his mind went blank. The Japanese were too cunning. They attacked Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka openly, but secretly took long detours.

, raid Portland with surprise troops, the real killer move is in Portland!

If Eureka is attacked by the Japanese from the northern flank, it will soon fall. The two marines rushing to counterattack are still on the road and cannot possibly catch up with the tens of thousands of Japanese troops coming from the direction of Portland.

Once Eureka is lost, the Japanese army will have two landing sites. Even if the counterattack from Los Angeles and San Francisco is successful, what will happen?

"Damn the Japanese, they are cunning! A typical tactic of seducing the east and attacking the west!" Lieutenant General Penrak suddenly jumped up and yelled viciously. He really made a mistake. General Yamamoto's tactics and the Japanese four-way landing force were all actual troops.

It was a real attack, but Portland was set as the place where we had to break through and land as quickly as possible.

"Chief of Staff, at present, in addition to the second-line troops, how many troops can we mobilize on the front line?" Lieutenant General Penrak asked uncertainly.
