Age of Conquest Reborn

More than 4,000 combat aircraft of the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force filled the sky over the West Coast of the United States. The second-line U.S. troops on their way to the reinforcement target were in danger. They were bombed and scattered in all directions. Deaths and injuries were everywhere. Risks were everywhere.

Smoke, fire, burning vehicles, and the hastily organized ground anti-aircraft firepower of the US military were unable to face such a large Japanese aircraft fleet.

More than 400,000 U.S. ground troops were bombed to the point where they could not even conduct the most basic assembly. General Yamamoto, despite domestic pressure, spent several months and paid a considerable price in order to drain the blood of the U.S. Army Air Force and control the battlefield.

The "Wolf Strike Tactics" of air supremacy have finally reached the harvest season. Japan is waiting for the land battle on the west coast of the United States. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the North American Combat Command, is indispensable!

Lieutenant General Evans, the deputy chief of staff of the U.S. Army and commander of the West Coast Defense Command, who was rushing to catch up with the combat troops, was very unlucky to catch up with the air attack of a large-scale mixed fleet of Japanese aircraft. What was even more unlucky was that Evan

Several vehicles in which Lieutenant General Sri Lanka, his staff and his guards were riding, were driving on a flat road, surrounded by bare wasteland without any hidden peaks or woods.

"Boom! Boom! - Boom!" More than a dozen heavy aerial bombs fell on the convoy, raising thick columns of smoke. When the smoke dissipated, a row of huge craters appeared on the road, and several vehicles burned or overturned.

The cars arrived, the broken bodies, the wounded moaning in pain.

The surviving staff officers and guards climbed up from the mud in a daze, looking for the Commander. However, all they could find were a few pieces of broken clothes. The wreckage of the military jeep, Lieutenant General Evans and his

The car they were traveling in has disappeared without a trace.

The bombing of the U.S. military by the Japanese army's huge mixed fleet lasted for nearly an hour and achieved fruitful results. It not only slowed down the U.S. military's reinforcements, but also completely disrupted the deployment of the U.S. military. It turned the west coast into a deep front line.

A battlefield of unilateral slaughter.

The Japanese mixed fleet returned, and the shocked American officers and soldiers got up from the ground and looked at the corpses scattered everywhere, the burning vehicles with black smoke, the roads full of craters, and the collapsed bridges, and they wanted to cry without tears.

, and then began to gather the troops, preparing to step on the corpses of their companions and continue to perform a reinforcement mission that was almost like sending someone to death!

Off the coast of Portland, in the command module of the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Admiral Yamamoto read the battle report sent by the Land and Naval Air Force. For the first time, a comfortable smile appeared on his face, a smile that truly determined the overall situation. Even after the successful landing.

, he has never smiled like this before.

Lieutenant General Matsuda, Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, saw his superior's relief and said from the bottom of his heart: "Commander, the Army and Navy Air Force's bombing of the U.S. reinforcements laid the foundation for the final victory of the landing battle.

Basics!”

"But this is not enough!" Admiral Yamamoto said with a smile, "Matsuda-kun, according to the established plan, order all carrier-based aircraft groups of the fleet to take off immediately. We will once again bring fear and death to the Americans.

Once the advantage is fixed, after the second bombing, the reinforcements from the US military are of no importance to us!"

The U.S. military, which had just gathered up the bombed troops, the lost soldiers, and the soldiers, had not yet started marching. The carrier-based aircraft group of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet struck again. The Japanese carrier-based aircraft appeared with roaring sounds.

In the sky where the gunpowder smoke had not yet cleared, the American soldiers who had just received a heavy beating were once again enveloped by bombs and bullets falling from the sky.

Of course, the number of carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet is far less than the size and momentum of the Army and Navy Air Force fleet just now, but it has brought huge fear and panic to the shocked US soldiers. They don't know,

How many more Japanese planes will straf and drop bombs above their heads?

The news that the second-line troops that were reinforcing Los Angeles, San Francisco, Eureka and retaking Portland were bombed by large-scale and high-density Japanese aircraft fleets was quickly reported to the U.S. Wartime High Command, and at the same time, Evan

With the news of the death of Lieutenant General Sri Lanka, this is the second senior officer of the Army Lieutenant General level to be killed in the US military since the Japanese invasion began.

Lieutenant General Evans was so unlucky that he died in the middle of the battle before he reached the front line, before he saw his troops, and before he fought with the Japanese. It can be said that he died before he left the army.

, so frustrating!

As soon as the officers of the United States' highest wartime headquarters received the two pieces of bad news, they were shocked to the point of being stunned. Then, there were meaningless arguments and quarrels, but no one came up with a safe way to deal with the crisis in their sights.

.

A few minutes later, amidst the noise, President Roosevelt came to the war room in a wheelchair. The first thing he asked was, "Everyone, please stop the meaningless quarrel. Jeff Field, are you the Joint Chiefs of Staff?"

Chairman, according to your judgment, do the second-line troops that have just been bombed by a large Japanese aircraft fleet still have the ability to reinforce the front line?"

General Jefferfield hesitated. In addition to the news that Lieutenant General Evans, the commander of the West Coast Defense Headquarters who had not yet arrived, had been killed in action, there was currently no definite report on the losses of the second-line troops, but according to

I have obtained scattered information and judged that the casualties may not be small!

"Jeffrey, I'm waiting for your answer!" President Roosevelt's sallow face showed abnormal redness, and his tone became aggressive.

"Mr. President, according to the judgment of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the second-line troops still have the ability to continue to reinforce the front line!" General Jefferfield said hesitantly, "But..."

President Roosevelt was very dissatisfied with the hesitation of his favorite general and asked: "But what?"

"However, in terms of time, it is already too late. The second-line troops have to gather soldiers, resettle the wounded, and repair the bombed bridges and roads!" General Jefferfield said bravely, "Therefore, it is impossible for us to grab

In front of the second batch of Japanese landing troops, they reached Los Angeles, San Francisco, Eureka and Portland and other places!"

"The situation has become very clear. Our defense system on the west coast has basically collapsed! There is no need to continue to reinforce! There is no need to continue to hold on!" President Roosevelt's tone was hollow and dry, "Can you say that?

, Jefferfield?”

"I'm afraid that's the case, Mr. President!" Admiral Jefferfield replied in an increasingly quiet tone.

There was deep pain in President Roosevelt's eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice: "So, gentlemen, stop arguing. The most critical issue now is how we will be on the front line of the fierce battle with the first batch of Japanese landing troops.

Troops, as well as the second-line troops that have no significance for reinforcement and have been severely damaged, withdraw to the third line of defense as safely as possible. Also, the troops on the west coast of the front line need a new commander!"

"In the name of the Supreme Wartime Command, order the frontline and second-line troops to immediately retreat to the front line of the Dillera Mountains, abandon the west coast area, and appoint Rear Admiral Woolsey, chief of staff of the West Coast Defense Command, as the interim commander.

Unify the command of the troops to retreat, gentlemen, make arrangements according to my words!"

"Also, in the name of the Supreme Wartime Command, Commander Brennan of the Army Air Forces is called back to Washington immediately!"

There was a deep chill in Roosevelt's tone at the last sentence, and the generals' hearts tightened, and they all thought in unison: "Is Mr. President going to hold those responsible for the failure of the West Coast Defense War accountable?

"

If you think about it carefully, you won’t find much surprise. Since the start of the West Coast Defense War, within a few months, it has been an air battle against the Japanese. Brennan’s Army Air Force was the protagonist. From the beginning of the Japanese landing, the U.S. military suffered a loss.

I also ate it on a Japanese plane.

Brennan lost thousands of combat aircraft and thousands of skilled pilots. As a result, the Japanese troops still landed, air superiority on the west coast was lost, and hundreds of thousands of US troops were forced to retreat. Of course, Brennan should bear the main responsibility!

The generals of the U.S. War Command saw only President Roosevelt's intention to deal with Lieutenant General Brennan, but they did not see the pain and powerlessness in Roosevelt's eyes as he left the war room, as well as the deep sense of failure.

!

Suddenly receiving an order from the highest wartime headquarters, Rear Admiral Woolsey thought he had seen something wrong and jumped up in surprise. Then he secretly complained in his heart. Ordinarily, the position of acting commander of the West Coast Defense Headquarters was a high promotion.

He has more than 300,000 troops under his command. In normal times, a general with at least the rank of lieutenant general can serve as a general. But when does that happen?

The battlefield on the west coast was bloody and bloody, and there was no guarantee. Almost all the more than 300,000 troops were beaten to a mutilated state, almost like a defeated army. Now, it was all about one breath, and if I continued to fight the Japanese desperately, how could I make a comeback?

?

What's more, two commanders died in a row. The commander of the West Coast Defense Headquarters is almost synonymous with an unknown name. He specializes in the lieutenant general's place. Maybe he will be the third one. When he thinks of this, Major General Woolsey

A chill ran down my spine.

I am just a major general, but the troops under the West Coast Defense Headquarters are all group armies, and the commanders are all lieutenant generals. Let me, a major general, command a group of lieutenant generals. Isn’t it a small horse and a big cart?

Can you follow orders?

An appointment order, held in the hands of Major General Woolsey, was like a red-hot iron, so hot that his hands were covered with blisters. Moreover, he also had a vague concern, "The loss of the West Coast region is very important to the United States."

, is a big deal, and someone has to be responsible for it. At this time, appointing yourself as the acting commander, is it a scapegoat prepared by the big guys at the wartime high command?"

Woolsey, who was troubled, thought about it and found no good solution but to execute the order. A few minutes later, Rear Admiral Woolsey, acting commander of the U.S. West Coast Defense Command, reported to Yuri who was still in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The troops who were stuck on the front line and fought hard with the Japanese army issued an order to retreat across the entire line.
