Age of Conquest Reborn

In the opinion of Lieutenant General Okabe, his chief of staff must have had a high fever and was confused by the fever. He listened to the nonsense of that guy Noguchi. There was no trouble in the several imperial-occupied areas adjacent to the Indochina Peninsula. The distant areas

Can the Australian mainland become the target of the China Division's attack? Did those Chinese people fly here with wings?

"Hahaha!" Lieutenant General Okabe laughed wildly and teased: "Chief of Staff Takakura, this joke is not funny..." Before his laughter ended, he heard "Boom!"

There was a violent explosion in the direction of the port.

Lieutenant General Okabe's laughter stopped suddenly, and he looked towards the port in panic. He saw plumes of thick smoke rising into the sky, and above the black smoke, the figures of combat aircraft were vaguely visible.

Chief of Staff Gao Cang even shouted: "Your Majesty, Division Commander, the situation is critical. Please issue combat orders to the troops immediately!"

At this time, a three-wheeled motorcycle stopped at the door of the official residence, and a combat officer from the division headquarters rushed in. The guards did not stop them, and they also heard a violent explosion.

"The division commander and chief of staff received a report from the radar station that numerous China Division troop transports and escort warships are approaching Adelaide. Except for the port fortress battery, which was violently bombed by China bombers!"

Before the combat officers arrived, they shouted loudly.

The war came unexpectedly, and Lieutenant General Okabe, who was not mentally prepared at all, suddenly felt his hands and feet cold and confused, "Quick! Connect the phone calls to all the front positions immediately!"

Because the previous Lieutenant General Okabe, in order not to be disturbed and enjoy the order of the British royal princess, the telephone lines leading to the division commander's residence were cut off. It took more than ten minutes for the telephone lines to be connected.

Pass, and during these more than ten minutes, the various regiments of the 39th Division of the Japanese Army in Adelaide were in a state of no unified command.

The commander of the Okabe Division was still not completely dizzy. His first call was to the coastal defense artillery unit at the port fortress. "I am the commander of the Okabe Division, reporting your situation?" came the phone receiver.

There were bursts of violent explosions.

"I am Colonel Akutagawa, captain of the Coast Defense Artillery Regiment. I am reporting to the division commander that my fortified coastal defense artillery position was violently bombed by a group of Chinese bombers and suffered serious losses!" Colonel Akutagawa shouted at the top of his voice. But it was reported that

If you come over, it will still happen intermittently. This shows that the coastal defense artillery position was bombarded violently!

"You must hold on, Mr. Akutagawa, your coastal defense artillery position is the largest barrier in Port Adelaide. The important task of repelling the China Division's landing fleet lies on you!" Lieutenant General Okabe roared.

, then. A more violent explosion came from the phone receiver, and the phone suddenly became silent.

Lieutenant General Okabe shook off the phone angrily and said to Chief of Staff Takakura: "Takakura-san, immediately use my official residence as the temporary headquarters of the division, and order the departments under the division headquarters to rush here immediately and put in command. In addition,

, order the 19th Regiment and the 21st Regiment to immediately reinforce the direction of the port and block the landing of Chinese soldiers!"

Okabe knew that it would be an absolute risk to rush to the division headquarters at this time. If he was targeted by the division's fighter jets on the way, he, as the lieutenant general division commander of the Imperial Army, would be able to kill him with just a few bullets.

It will turn into a pile of minced meat. He cherishes his life very much.

After giving instructions to Chief of Staff Takakura, Lieutenant General Okabe, a passionate person, did not forget the princess of the British royal family who had spent the night with him. He called the loyal guard captain over and whispered his instructions.

To: "Your only mission is to protect Jenny and not allow her to be harmed in any way, do you understand!"

Lieutenant General Okabe's order to mobilize the division's two main regiments to reinforce the port beachhead is correct under normal circumstances. The main force should be used for anti-landing operations. The beachhead is the focus of the battle and must be

Assembling heavy troops, but he ignored the most critical point. When one's own side lost air superiority, the concentrated mobilization of troops in broad daylight would not send a bunch of living targets to the division's aviation fleet!

After Wu Zhenjiang's mixed fleet completely wiped out the fighters of the Japanese Seventeenth Air Force, the main bombing target of its bomber formation was the Japanese coastal defense artillery position at the Port Adelaide Fortress. If this nail was not pulled out, the troop transport ship

The formation will be unable to enter the port, let alone land. Even if it enters by force, it will suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, Wu Zhenjiang's order to the bomber formation was, "Give the Japanese coastal defense artillery positions the most intensive and violent bombing, which must be completely destroyed to clear the way for the landing troops!"

The bomber formation in the East Indian Ocean cruise area, as well as the escort fleet's carrier-based bomber formation, faithfully carried out the orders of the air formation commander Wu Zhenjiang. More than 300 bombers, raindrops of heavy aerial bombs, rained down on everyone.

The fire was soaring into the sky, the gunpowder smoke was filling the air, and the black smoke clouds, mixed with the rolling tongues of fire, shot straight into the sky!

The reinforced concrete bunkers of the Japanese coastal defense artillery positions were shaking violently, and pieces of cement fell down or collapsed in mid-air. Captain Akutagawa dared to swear to His Majesty the Emperor that during his decades of military career,

They had never encountered such violent and intensive aerial bombardment. The Chinese pilots were simply crazy. They used more than 300 bombers to conduct a full-coverage bombing of a small coastal defense artillery unit position!

The Port Adelaide Fortress, a Japanese coastal defense artillery position, and a solid reinforced concrete building withstood the first round of bombing by the division's bombers. Although it was covered with bruises, the main building was not completely destroyed.

Hiding in the strong semi-underground concealment, Captain Akutagawa did not feel at all relaxed. He did not know that his defenses could withstand several rounds of bombings by Chinese bombers. Originally, there was an anti-aircraft gun brigade on the fortress position.

, but shortly after being bombed, this anti-aircraft artillery brigade had just fired two rounds of artillery shells, and was almost completely wiped out by China's fighter jets.

The current situation is that the fortress position is in a state of being bombed without the ability to fight back. "Damn the Seventeenth Air Force, why don't you send out fighter jets to knock all these hateful China bombers to the bottom of the sea!" Colonel Akutagawa said fiercely.

Cursing Major General Noguchi’s Seventeenth Air Force.

But Colonel Akutagawa didn't know that at this moment, Major General Noguchi was sitting in the control tower in a state of despair. His air force flew out in full force, but in less than two hours in the air, almost all the troops were wiped out.

There were only a few fighter jets, all of them with battle wounds. It was a dream to take off. As for the bomber formation, none of them flew back.

Now Major General Noguchi, except for a dozen reconnaissance planes, is basically a bare commander. This result was something he never expected. As the commander of an air force, Major General Noguchi knew better.

For the Imperial Army in the Adelaide area, what does it mean to lose air supremacy?

As for the nominal superior, he only knew Lieutenant General Okabe, the commander of the 39th Division, who was a drunk and beautiful woman. He had no hope. Looking at the direction of the port and the smoke and flames that exploded into the sky, he knew that Lieutenant General Okabe

Now that I have too much time to take care of myself, expecting this guy from a small businessman family in Tokyo to take over the command and come up with countermeasures is almost like a dream!

Therefore, Major General Noguchi immediately sent an urgent rescue telegram to Major General Hongo, the commander of the 19th Air Force stationed in Oting, explaining in detail the current crisis situation in Adelaide and requesting Commander Hongo to immediately

All combat aircraft of the 19th Air Force were dispatched to urgently rescue Adelaide.

Major General Noguchi immersed himself in writing the telegram. He was full of confidence that Major General Hongo could come to reinforce him. He and Major General Hongo were old classmates at the Imperial Aviation School and had a close personal relationship. The two had also made an agreement after they stationed in southern Australia.

Support each other, if one person is in trouble, the other person will definitely do his best to come to the rescue!

Including Major General Noguchi, a squadron guard of the Seventeenth Air Force of the Japanese Army at Berry Airport, and more than a hundred Japanese officers and soldiers did not know that there was a forest less than three kilometers north of Berry Airport.

Major Zhu Guozhong, leader of the third team of the division's special operations detachment that infiltrated into South Australia, was holding a telescope and carefully observing the situation at Berry Airport. Beside him were more than fifty special operations members of the group.

Major General Battle, the commander of the Adelaide landing force, gave himself an order to wait for an opportunity to capture Berry Airport. However, in Zhu Guozhong's heart, Berry Airport was a target that must be obtained. After successfully completing the mission of capturing Kangaroo Island,

The third group then sneaked into the vicinity of Berry Airport, looking for opportunities.

Hearing the dull and loud noises coming from the direction of Adelaide from time to time, Zhu Guozhong's face showed a knowing smile. The third group had sneaked into Australia for almost more than two months. They were alone behind enemy lines, deep in the tiger's den, surrounded by

The feeling of being all enemies is not pleasant.

Now, after finally hearing the sound of the attacking artillery fire from his troops, Zhu Guozhong was very excited. He was determined to take down Berry Airport intact. However, the experienced Zhu Guozhong knew that a squadron of little Japanese guards was not easy to deal with.

He was waiting for it to get dark. Only in the darkness, more than fifty special operations team members could confidently deal with a squadron of little devils. Dark night was the special operations personnel's favorite!

While Major General Noguchi, the commander of the Japanese 17th Air Force, asked for help from his old friend Major General Hongo, the commander of the 19th Air Force, Lieutenant General Okabe, who realized that the situation was not good, also called the commander of the Imperial Army in Australia.

Lieutenant General Morishita, commander of the 11th Army, sent an urgent telegram requesting help.

The content of the telegram was very simple, "Your Excellency, Commander, this morning, the China Division troops suddenly dispatched more than a thousand combat aircraft, countless troop carriers and escort warships to launch a sudden attack on Adelaide. The battle situation is very serious.

It's critical, and I request your Excellency, Commander, to send emergency reinforcements from the ground forces and air force, otherwise, Adelaide will be in danger!"
