Age of Conquest Reborn

Chief of Staff Woolsey looked gloomy and replied: "Commander, all the troops on the front line have been devoted to counterattacking the Japanese landing troops. We have no more troops to redeploy!"

Lieutenant General Penrak sat down slumped, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely shattered, and he muttered to himself in a daze: "Is it possible that Eureka will also fall into the hands of the Japanese?"

Judging from the current war situation, if no miracle happens, the two German-equipped Marine divisions under General Yamamoto will have no problem taking over Eureka. The current Eureka area is also facing the Japanese army.

Two Class A infantry divisions equipped with advanced equipment and gaining a foothold were attacked from the sea. Without the two U.S. Marine divisions involved in the counterattack, Eureka would have been lost long ago.

But the Japanese army coming from the direction of Portland stabbed hard on the north side of Eureka. This knife was deadly enough. Now, the situation before Lieutenant General Penrack was quite unfavorable. Second-line reinforcements were still on the way.

, all the front-line troops are committed to the battlefield, Portland needs to be recaptured, and Eureka cannot be lost, but I have no troops!

For a time, Lieutenant General Pontrac was burned out, but he could not fail to take action. He said to Major General Woolsey: "Chief of Staff, order the 17th Army, which was originally scheduled to reinforce San Francisco, to immediately change direction and head for Portland.

Order the commander of the army, Lieutenant General Richard Holder, to retake Portland no matter what, no matter how heavy the casualties are, and hold on to it. I will continue to mobilize follow-up troops to reinforce them!"

"Order...Oh! Forget it."

Lieutenant General Penrak was speechless. What is the order? Eureka needs reinforcements, but he has no troops available. The loss of Portland is a foregone conclusion. The most important thing now is Eureka, which can never be lost again.

.

"Commander, is it possible to withdraw the 16th Army Group, the Motorized Infantry Division, which is counterattacking the Japanese landing troops in the direction of San Francisco, from the counterattack battlefield to reinforce the direction of Eureka?" Major General Woolsey proposed a question.

A last resort plan.

Although doing so will lead to a counterattack in the direction of San Francisco because there are not enough troops. It will not achieve the purpose of driving the Japanese army into the sea. However, this is the only feasible plan. If Eureka is lost, the Japanese army from both sea and land directions will join together.

Together, there are nearly 100,000 troops. The next target is San Francisco. In this way, a chain reaction will be formed on the West Coast.

"Okay, Chief of Staff, give the order to the Sixteenth Army!" Lieutenant General Penrak finally agreed. Although it meant demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, it was still better than losing Eureka.

After Chief of Staff Woolsey left, Lieutenant General Pontrac sat blankly in a chair. He hadn't eaten anything for more than a day, but he couldn't feel hungry. His mind was as confused as a pot of porridge, and his heart was burning. Thinking back to

From the morning of the 7th, the Japanese army began their landing attack, which seemed like an unreal dream.

For more than a day, I was busy with passive responses. The counter-landing battle on the west coast was passive from the beginning. My opponent, the Japanese Isoroku Yamamoto, was an excellent tactician. He used a series of combination punches.

, came suddenly and violently, especially the covert landing of Chen Cang in Portland, which was a stroke of genius, which Lieutenant General Penrak said he could not compare to.

All the troops on the front line were used to launch a counterattack, which lasted for more than three hours, but made no progress at all. Portland was lost, and Eureka was being attacked by the Japanese from two directions. Reinforcements on the second line would not arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

It took more than a night to reach the front line, and the Japanese reinforcements would definitely be able to arrive on the battlefield. Will the Japanese give themselves a chance to fight back again?

Lieutenant General Penrak sat there for a long time. He listened carefully. There was an indistinguishable number of gunfire outside. The counterattack troops were storming the Japanese landing site regardless of casualties. The fierce battle was in full swing, but he seemed to see it.

In the end, he walked to the phone and seemed to have made a lot of determination. He picked up the phone and said, "I am Lieutenant General Penrack, Commander of the West Coast Defense Command. Put me through Mr. President. Right now, there is an important military intelligence report.

..."

On the American West Coast battlefield on the other side of the Pacific, in the dark night, soldiers from the United States and Japan were fighting inextricably, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. It was already a sunny morning in Indochina. Tang Qiuli came out of his residence, Shan Hu

Following closely, as soon as they arrived at the division commander's office, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and Director of the General Staff Division Ge Zhenzhuang arrived at the office.

Before Tang Qiuli could sit down, Zhao Yuhe took out a telegram and said: "Commander, I received information from the intelligence office that the Japanese troops successfully landed in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Eureka on the west coast of the United States. You expected it.

The first successful landing was in Portland in the north!"

"Now, how is the situation on the battlefield?" Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "Limited by maritime transportation capabilities, the Japanese's first batch of landing troops cannot have too many troops. A successful landing does not mean that the landing site can be defended.

, the U.S. military will definitely make every effort to counterattack. Whether the Japanese can gain a foothold at the landing site on the west coast depends on this night!"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "The Intelligence Service's intelligence network in the United States has not reached full coverage. Most of the intelligence provided is in the general direction of the battlefield. According to the intelligence, the front-line troops of the US military have begun to counterattack, and the battle is very fierce.

It was fierce. The second-line US troops began to reinforce the front line. Two of the three Japanese divisions that landed in Portland quickly moved south and are attacking Eureka. This is the situation for the time being!"

"Time, the key is time. I'm afraid that the American reinforcements will not be able to achieve the goal of driving the Japanese landing troops into the sea!" Tang Qiuli shook his head and said, "Isoroku Yamamoto is an extremely outstanding tactician.

As the main landing site, it achieved the purpose of surprise, and going south to attack Eureka is a very ruthless move, and the Americans will suffer a big loss!"

Zhao Yuhe said thoughtfully: "Division commander, you should admit that Yamamoto Isoroku's tactics have achieved unprecedented success. However, according to the intelligence department's intelligence, the number of U.S. troops reinforced from the second line will reach more than 400,000."

There are a lot of people, and more than half of them are motorized infantry divisions, and the marching speed is very fast!"

"In addition, the road network in the west coast of the United States is very developed. The U.S. reinforcements will definitely be put on the battlefield before the second batch of Japanese landing troops arrive. Since the first batch of Japanese landing troops are not large in number, it will probably be difficult to hold on to the landing site.

It’s very difficult. If you don’t do it right, you will really drive the Japanese army into the sea!”

"Yuhe, do you think so?" Tang Qiuli glanced at Zhao Yuhe and said with a smile.

Zhao Yuhe's eyes narrowed, and he vaguely felt that there was another meaning in the teacher's words, so he hesitated.

"Before the Japanese army officially landed, its supreme commander Yamamoto Isoroku launched a several-month air battle. What was the purpose?" Tang Qiuli looked at the large military map on the wall and said, "Completely consume the U.S. military.

The air force launched the landing operation only after the goal was achieved. Now it seems that Yamamoto has achieved this!"

"Therefore, Yamamoto is an excellent tactician. He will not fail to consider what kind of pressure the Japanese troops who have landed will be under if all the U.S. troops on the second line are pressed up. But Yamamoto's courage to do this proves that he is prepared.

, the key lies in Japan’s Army and Navy Air Force. If my estimate is correct, the thousands of combat aircraft gathered by the Japanese army in the Eastern Pacific are prepared for the US military’s second-line reinforcements!”

Zhao Yuhe's mind was following the division commander's words at high speed, and he heard the division commander say again: "Yuhe, order Yu Deshui to pay close attention to the battlefield situation on the west coast of the United States, and report every five hours!"

Berlin, Germany, Reichstag Building, Head of State Hitler's office, Marshal Strongs, Chief of the German General Staff, walked in quickly, raised the telegram in his hand, and said: "My Head of State, I just received a notification from the Japanese. They

Our troops successfully landed at Los Angeles, San Francisco, Eureka and Portland on the west coast of the United States on the morning of the 7th, Western Time, and secured landing sites. Now they are facing the American counterattack!"

"My God! The Japanese really succeeded!" Hitler exclaimed in surprise. Then he rolled his eyes a few times and said: "Dear Strongs, what do the Japanese ask us to do? They don't

They will just tell us the news of victory just to show off!"

Marshal Strongs truly admired the Führer's wisdom, and he immediately guessed the truth. This skill was something he could never achieve. He smiled and replied: "Führer, the Japanese require us to immediately

Take action on the US-Mexico border to cooperate with their landing operations. Should we order Marshal Rommel to start the offensive?"

"No, no, no!" Hitler shook his head like a rattle and said, "Strance, the successful landing of the first batch of Japanese troops does not mean that the Japanese have won. The Americans are deploying on the west coast.

If we have heavy troops, we will definitely launch a crazy counterattack. It is too early to say that the Japanese have won!"

"Führer, how do we deal with the Japanese?" Marshal Strongs was also a professional soldier, and he immediately thought of the key to the problem.

Hitler put his hands behind his back and paced slowly on the carpet, obviously thinking hard. After a while, he stopped and said: "Reply to the Japanese, we have ordered the commander of the German Army Group South America, Romme.

Marshal, execute the plan to attack the United States!"

"At the same time, a telegram was sent to Rommel, ordering the troops to immediately enter a state of combat readiness and start an attack as soon as they receive domestic orders.

I think Rommel will not have to wait too long, and there will be definite news on the morning of the 8th at the latest. For the Americans and Japanese, tonight is a night of life and death!"
