Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 2919 Crazy Japanese
Two days later, the 53rd Motorized Infantry Regiment of the 15th Mechanized Corps of the German 7th Army headed north on the west route. As the core unit of the 15th Army, it entered Edgemont northeast of Merriman.
Edgemont is an ordinary small town in the central region of the United States, but because there are two railway lines intersecting in the town, one passes here from the direction of Cheyenne and goes directly to Peel City, and the other runs from Helena in the northwest.
After passing through the town and reaching Lincoln City in the middle, the town became a strategic point. The 53rd Motorized Infantry Regiment was ordered to occupy Edgemont and control the train station.
The Americans retreated in such a hurry that even the railroad tracks were not damaged. Under the protection of several guards, the regiment leader, Colonel Brett, walked into the empty station and looked at the intact facilities. On the side road, there was still silence.
There was a locomotive parked, and he couldn't help showing an uninterested expression.
The 15th Mechanized Corps is the vanguard of the western offensive force, and the 53rd Motorized Infantry Regiment is also the vanguard of the entire group army. Heading north from Phoenix, Commander Brett saw almost this situation.
My regiment has not fought a single battle along the way. The attack in the central part of the United States is more like a conflict march. Is there any easier war than this?
"Order the troops to occupy Edgemont immediately and search the town to see if they can find any local Americans!" Captain Brett said lazily to his chief of staff: "The regiment headquarters should be located at the station.
! Report to the division that our unit has occupied Edgemont and there has been no fighting with the Americans!"
Entering the station commander's office, Commander Brett ordered his guards, "Get a basin of water, damn it's a long march!" He patted the dust off his body, complained in his mouth, and drove hundreds of kilometers in the car.
, his whole body was exhausted, and his bones seemed to be falling apart. He just wanted to wash his face, and then lie down and rest for a while!
The entire 53rd Mechanized Regiment. Not only Colonel Brett, the commander of the regiment, was full of fatigue, but all the officers and soldiers were also unable to cheer up. They were lazily walking around the town with their guns on their backs.
Searching, of course, before they arrived. All the Americans in the town had fled.
Separated by a mountain ridge, on a road less than twenty kilometers away from the small town of Edgemont, a long line of vehicles was speeding towards the town at the fastest speed, rolling up thick smoke and dust.
There are hundreds of vehicles in this convoy, including three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, trucks, and armored vehicles. There are also vehicles that are obviously for civilian use, making it look like a hodgepodge. However, each vehicle is covered with dust.
The fluttering sun flag and the vehicles were filled with soldiers with fanatical eyes and dusty khaki uniforms, which already indicated the identity of this convoy, a unit under Japan's North American Combat Command.
Colonel Takeo Yokono was sitting in the cab of the leading truck. Although the soldiers driving the truck almost had their feet in the fuel tank, the engine of the truck was roaring without any movement. It was really worrying that the truck would fall apart at any time.
, but Colonel Yokono still kept urging: "Hayagu! Hayagu!"
Colonel Takeo Yokono is the commander of the search wing of the 18th Division of the Ninth Army under the Empire's North American Combat Command. The commander of the army, Lieutenant General Kobayashi, has given the 18th Division the task of searching as quickly as possible.
, capture Cheyenne, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Tada, gave the search wing the task of capturing Edgemont.
The truck ran over the bumpy road, bumping like a boat in a storm, but Colonel Yokono seemed to feel nothing. In his mind, he was still thinking about the personal visit of the division commander, Lieutenant General Tada, before he led the team to set off.
What he said when he was given a task face to face.
"Yokono-kun, I will give you the most important mission of the search team. Your team will all switch to mechanized marches to occupy Edgemont and control the town as quickly as possible. Remember, this is Commander Yamamoto.
Officer, personally give our division one of the most important tasks!" Lieutenant General Tada said with a livid face.
"The main force of the division is going to capture Cheyenne. You know that Cheyenne is now in the hands of the Germans. Whether it can be captured successfully is not yet known. However, if we capture Edgemont first and block the Germans,
Continue to the northward passage, Yokono-kun, you have done a great job!" Lieutenant General Tada's fingers clicked on the map, "Seize time! The Imperial Army is competing for time with the Germans!
"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the search team has never been afraid of any difficult tasks!" Colonel Yokono touched his feet and replied concisely. Then, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "But Division Commander, you also know that the search team
The regiment does not have that many vehicles, and it is impossible to march entirely mechanized!"
"Yokono-kun, I have prepared it for you!" Lieutenant General Tada was obviously prepared and said: "I have gathered all the vehicles of the division and handed them over to your regiment for use. In addition, there are
The vehicles collected from the private sector are enough for a regiment!"
"With enough motor vehicles, the search wing can complete the tasks assigned by the division commander without any problems!" Colonel Yokono replied confidently.
"Yokono-kun, this mission is not easy. It requires your regiment to drive a long distance of more than a thousand kilometers within two days and nights!" Lieutenant General Tada's face did not lighten up, and he said seriously: "Therefore,
, you must be prepared for all responses, give you one hour to prepare, and then set off!"
When the division search wing set off, many division commanders came to see them off in person. This was a great encouragement to the Japanese soldiers in the search wing. His pre-war mobilization speech was very inflammatory, "The warriors of the empire."
You! What we need now is for you to occupy Edgemont as quickly as possible. It takes two days and nights, and a journey of more than a thousand kilometers. Although there is no harassment or obstruction by the US military, your biggest enemy is distance!
"But you are samurai of the Empire of Japan, and with the belief that you are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, you will definitely be able to complete your mission! Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" He took the lead in shouting slogans!
This incited the emotions of more than a thousand Japanese officers and soldiers to a fever pitch, and fanatical shouts reverberated. Before getting on the bus, Colonel Yokono quietly asked for instructions: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, in case the Germans
People have occupied Edgemont first, what should the Ministry do?"
Lieutenant General Tada's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he lowered his voice and said fiercely: "You can deal with it as soon as possible, but you must capture Edgemont. This is also Commander Yamamoto's request!"
General Yamamoto indeed gave this order to all the troops. After learning that all the American soldiers and Canadian soldiers on the defense line of the Dilera Mountains disappeared without a trace overnight, he immediately went crazy!
The following order was issued to each unit: "Each unit should immediately cross the Dilera Mountains as quickly as possible and advance bravely toward the central United States. All units should gather all their vehicles to form a rapid force and seize all areas that can be seized. Do not
We should be concerned about the attitude of the Germans, but try to avoid conflicts with the Germans. We can pass through the gaps in the German-occupied areas and continue to advance towards the eastern region of the United States!"
This order is very general and leaves a lot of room for the operations of each unit commander. At the same time, it also leaves hidden dangers. Japanese soldiers have always been arrogant and arrogant. When they collide with German soldiers,
There will definitely be sparks popping up.
Chief of Staff Minamino said with concern: "Yamamoto-kun, our troops are distributed on thousands of kilometers of fronts. Except for the northern area, which the Germans have not yet had time to occupy, most of the central United States has fought.
Under the control of the Germans, if you issue such an order, I am very worried that the frontline generals will conflict with the Germans in order to occupy more areas!"
General Yamamoto didn't know this, but he couldn't care too much. This man had a gambler-like character. He said this: "The Germans formed a long snake formation from Phoenix in the south to Cheyenne in the north.
, but it is impossible to occupy all areas, and it will inevitably leave a large gap, and this is what we can take advantage of!"
"In addition, as long as the 18th Division of the Ninth Army in the far north sends troops to occupy Edgemont first, it will be equivalent to blocking the Germans' passage to the north. At that time, they will also have the capital to bargain with the Germans.
!”
Chief of Staff Minamino is still a little worried, but he knows that as the troops of the North American Combat Command have always had the upper hand in the war against the United States, the troops are full of fanaticism and arrogance, thinking that they are invincible.
, this mentality has not diminished even after being blocked by the US military at the defense line of the Dilera Mountains for several months.
No one can predict what these arrogant and powerful generals will do once they are let loose. If they really have a conflict with the Germans, the matter will be a big deal. But if you don't do this, even if there is no immediate danger
Without the blocking of the US military, the imperial troops would definitely fall behind the Germans and be unable to occupy the central area of the United States. Therefore, Chief of Staff Minamino's psychology was very contradictory!
Seeing his close friend's worried look, General Yamamoto said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Minano-kun, I have thought about it. In order to fulfill His Majesty the Emperor's ambition, I will plant the imperial flag on the land of the central United States, even if it is...
Therefore, we will not hesitate to conflict with the Germans. At worst, all the responsibilities will be borne by me, Yamamoto!"
Perhaps due to the influence of General Yamamoto, General Minamino lost his worried look and said with a smile: "I will bear it with Yamamoto-kun!"
Following General Yamamoto's order, more than one million Japanese soldiers surged through the Delera Mountains like a flood and spread toward the central region of the United States. Countless small groups of Japanese troops switched to mechanized marches.
, is the head of this flood.
Colonel Yokono's search team was just one of many waves, and it was also the fastest.
