Age of Conquest Reborn

Differences originate from their respective interests, and war is a direct means to obtain interests. The central region of the United States is destined to become the focus of competition between the German and Japanese teams, even if the war against the United States is not over yet!

After receiving the order from the General Staff, Marshal Rommel thought for a long time. He understood the intentions of the head of state and was excited that the head of state had such a big power. He was a professional soldier and there was nothing better than commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield.

Fighting on horseback and defeating enemies one after another can better reflect the value of military personnel. Now, in addition to Americans, Canadians are also included in the ranks of enemies that Marshal Rommel must defeat.

However, Marshal Rommel was a little interested in this new opponent, but he was not convinced. If the Americans were barely an opponent of the same weight, then the Canadians were scum several levels below, or in other words, unworthy of the title.

As an opponent, it is just a little obstacle in the process of sweeping across the North American continent!

The head of state wants to increase the strength of the South American Army Group to more than 2.5 million people. His eyes are not only on the United States, but Canada is also obviously in the head of state's sight. He will command more than 2 million elite German soldiers.

Marshal Rommel was very excited when he thought about sweeping across the North American continent and fulfilling the head of state's wish.

Although he understood the intention of the head of state, Marshal Rommel was not in a hurry to attack the second line of defense of the US military on the southwest border. He was preparing a large net for the more than 100,000 remaining US soldiers in the Baton Rouge area.

Gradually tighten and clear up some trouble in the rear before taking over the central and eastern regions of the United States. A steady and steady approach is his basic strategy in fighting the United States.

At the same time, Marshal Rommel was not worried. The Japanese would break through the defense lines of the U.S. and Canadian troops in the Deillera Mountains in the western United States and occupy only the central region of the United States. General Yamamoto, known as "Japan's third god of war", would launch a fierce attack.

It had not been a day or two, but no achievements had been made, especially on the Salt Lake City battlefield. The Japanese still suffered losses, which made Rommel underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

From the perspective of Marshal Rommel, if the German army did not move north from Phoenix and attack Salt Lake City, the Japanese would not be able to break through the US military's defense line in the western region within a few months or even a year. Obviously, Rommel would not

Those who took action in Salt Lake City were happy to see that the Japanese stopped at the Dillera Mountains in the west.

As long as the German army does not come out, the Japanese will not be able to break the situation, and there is no point in worrying. Once the troops are sent north, the German army will have completely occupied the central and eastern regions of the United States. The Deillera Mountains will become the basis for Germany and Japan to carve up the territory of the United States.

limit.

But Marshal Rommel was cautious enough. He did not take it lightly because the Japanese were blocked to the west of the Dilera Mountains. In the direction of Phoenix, he deployed three elite armies, one of which moved forward to the north of Phoenix.

The Durango area.

His order to the commander of this group army was, "With Durango as the boundary, the troops are not allowed to go beyond one step, and they must not pose a threat to the US and Canadian troops on the defense line of the Dilera Mountains!"

Marshal Rommel began to deploy in the central region of the United States, focusing on encircling and annihilating the more than 100,000 American troops in the Baton Rouge area. He watched the Japanese defense line in the Deillera Mountains with a combination of theater and contempt.

He was hit so hard that his head was bleeding.

In contrast, General Yamamoto was not as relaxed as Marshal Rommel. A line of defense in the Dilera Mountains blocked more than one million elite imperial troops. For more than two months, he tried his best to sacrifice the imperial soldiers.

The price of nearly 200,000 casualties was that they could not break through the American and Canadian positions. He knew that the American and Canadian casualties were even greater, but that didn't mean anything!

His Majesty the Emperor's latest order is tantamount to setting a time limit for himself. Before the end of June this year, he can get ahead of the Germans and occupy the central region of the United States. General Yamamoto knows that this will be difficult. It is now mid-April, and there will be more.

It is not easy to achieve it within two months. Otherwise, more than one million elite imperial troops would not have been blocked at the defense line of the Dilera Mountains for such a long time!

If the Germans had not succeeded repeatedly in the southwestern border area of ​​the United States, General Yamamoto could have calmly dealt with it, slowly looking for good opportunities, and broke through the US military's defense line in one fell swoop. But now he obviously does not have so much time and is not allowed to slowly consume the US military.

and the strength of the Canadian Forces.

Marshal Rommel was paying attention to every move of the Japanese, and General Yamamoto had never paid close attention to any action of the Germans. The two generals leading the troops outside regarded each other as potential competitors and the central region of the United States as their own.

A piece of fat in your mouth!

In General Yamamoto's view, the situation and position of the Germans are obviously much more favorable than his own. The Americans have two lines of defense on the mainland. One is the Dillera Mountains line of defense in the west, which is blocking him, and the other is in the northwest.

From Denver to Baton Rouge in the southwest, this is the second line of defense for the Americans. Between the two lines of defense is the blank space for US military defense. The Germans happen to be in this advantageous position.

Using Phoenix as the starting point for the attack, you can go directly to Salt Lake City and Denver. The areas you pass through are not heavily defended by the US military. No matter from any aspect, it is impossible for you to get ahead of the Germans and occupy the central region of the United States.

Fortunately, Rommel made a mistake and hoarded a large number of troops in Phoenix. He stopped attacking northward and focused all his energy on encircling and annihilating the more than 100,000 US troops in Baton Rouge. This is Germany.

The opportunities people leave for themselves.

In this regard, when General Yamamoto was chatting with his close friend General Minamino, he often laughed at his German counterpart Rommel, "Minano-kun, Rommel is known as Germany's most famous military commander. Now it seems that, even so, he certainly does not want to send troops to attack.

Salt Lake City helped the Imperial Army break through the U.S. military's defense line in the Dellera Mountains, but as a result, they also lost the opportunity to occupy the central region of the United States first!"

General Minamino basically agreed with General Yamamoto's words. He also believed that Rommel's strategic vision was insufficient. However, as a general who was good at strategic planning, he still felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. "Rommel will not make mistakes."

Did you make such a low-level mistake?" However, he did not express this uneasiness clearly.

But General Yamamoto also clearly knew that this opportunity would not last long. Once Rommel ends the battle in the Baton Rouge area, his attention will immediately turn to the direction of the central United States. The deadline given by His Majesty the Emperor is six months this year.

At the end of the month, General Yamamoto gave himself a deadline of early June this year. He must break through the US military's western defense line, occupy the central region of the United States first, and fix the boundaries of the post-war carving up of American land!

With less than a month left, General Yamamoto must break the current deadlock and make breakthrough progress. To this end, he led a group of senior staff to study new offensive plans day and night, select new breakthrough points, and make constant adjustments.

In terms of troop deployment and main attack direction, and to boost morale, he ordered the staff to issue His Majesty the Emperor's orders to every squadron, reaching the ears of every ordinary soldier.

During this period, stimulated and encouraged by His Majesty the Emperor's decree, the Japanese army used the most ferocious energy. Division-level attacks never stopped. The defense line of the Dilera Mountains was bombarded with artillery fire and filled with gunpowder smoke all day long.

Cries of killing resounded throughout the battlefield. Both sides suffered losses, but the Japanese army failed to achieve their goal. More Japanese soldiers, American soldiers, and Canadian soldiers fell in the bloody battlefield!

From April 21st to 23rd alone, the Japanese army launched ferocious attacks against the US military's western defense line with division-sized troops from Helena, Boise, Salt Lake City, Caliente and other directions.

During the three-day offensive, the Japanese aircraft fleet dropped tens of thousands of heavy aerial bombs and the artillery fired more than 100,000 large-caliber artillery shells onto the U.S. military positions, filling the air with gunpowder smoke and covering the sky with smoke and dust.

In the three consecutive days of offensive, the Japanese army paid tens of thousands of casualties. It only gained a foothold in a few places that were not enough to affect the overall situation. It was of little value for breaking through the US defense line, and the target of the attack was still firmly established.

It is firmly in the hands of U.S. and Canadian Army soldiers.

In addition to the ferocious attack by ground forces, General Yamamoto also adopted Chief of Staff Minamino's suggestion and dispatched all land-based aviation forces to conduct a full blockade of the U.S. military's Dellera Mountain defense line, intending to cut off the U.S. military and the Japanese general's logistics supply line.

In the skies over the western battlefield of the United States, thousands of Japanese combat aircraft cover the sky and search for any suspicious or moving targets. If they find even a moving car on the ground, they will attract several Japanese fighter jets and bombers.

Crazy bombing and strafing.

During the day in the western battlefield of the United States, the sky belonged to the Japanese, but at night, it belonged to the Americans and Canadians. From the direction of Canada, countless vehicles carried truckloads of ammunition and materials in the night.

transported to the battlefield.

After fighting for several days, General Yamamoto was frustrated to find that the firepower on the US and Canadian positions had not weakened. He knew that the problem was there, but the Imperial Air Force did not have the ability to bomb at night and air strikes. If it bombed deep into Canada,

The battle lines are getting longer and longer. At least under the current situation, it is not appropriate to bring the war to Canada!

This was a new round of attacks launched by the Japanese army after the bloody battle in Salt Lake City, but all ended in no progress.

Carefully planned attacks in several directions were ineffective. General Yamamoto was simply at his wits' end. His temper became increasingly agitated, and he successively replaced several army commanders who were ineffective in attacking. Among them, the commander of

Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki, commander of the Fourteenth Army during the Los Angeles, San Francisco and Eureka landings, was among them.
