Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 3024 The looming Australian crisis
Well, just these four words made Wu Zhenjiang so upset that he couldn't even eat. All the troops on the Australian battlefield were sent up, except for his own aviation team, who just watched from the side. Some time ago, the old troops were in the Southwest Pacific.
On the battlefield, the combined fleet of the little Japanese was beaten to a pulp. Why was it that when it was my turn, I couldn't use all my strength?
Therefore, since the troops began to attack, the first thing Wu Zhenjiang asked when he arrived at the headquarters every day was, "Is there an order from the headquarters for us to attack?"
The staff officers were all annoyed by his questions. Later, when they saw him, they simply said without asking, "Commander, no!"
On this day, as soon as Wu Zhenjiang arrived at the headquarters, the combat staff hurriedly greeted him, "Commander, Deputy Commander Tang ordered that our air force attack immediately!"
"Haha! It's finally our turn to take action!" Wu Zhenjiang's eyes immediately lit up and he said to the battlefield staff: "Order radar stations in various places to search for the location of the Japanese aircraft fleet with all their strength, and all fighter regiments will take off immediately!"
More than forty minutes later, nearly two thousand combat aircraft from both sides launched an unprecedented air battle over central Australia. Although the number of combat aircraft in the Wu Zhenjiang fleet was less than the number of the Japanese army's land and sea fleets, the Japanese
Among the more than 1,000 combat aircraft, more than 300 are bombers. In terms of the number of fighter jets, they are at a disadvantage.
The air battle lasted for almost a day, filling the sky in central Australia with gunpowder smoke and thunderous explosions. Under the joint attack of Wu Zhenjiang aircraft fleet and ground anti-aircraft firepower, the Japanese navy and land fleet hurriedly evacuated without taking any advantage.
On the battlefield, the wreckage of more than a hundred fighters and bombers was left behind. Wu Zhenjiang's aviation fleet also lost more than seventy fighters and returned with a slight advantage.
That night, Wu Zhenjiang reported the air combat situation in central Australia to Le Yiqin. He immediately called back, "Wu Zhenjiang. The carrier-based aircraft of the Little Devils United Fleet were beaten away by me. Now it is your turn to fight.
Don’t embarrass me, just tell me if you have any difficulties!”
Faced with such a fierce reply from the commander, Wu Zhenjiang could only grin. His reply was concise and clear, "Give me three more fighter regiments. Make sure to kill all the carrier-based aircraft of the Little Japanese United Fleet!"
"Okay, I'll give you four fighter regiments!" Le Yiqin's answer was even simpler.
The next day, before it was fully dark, the four fighter regiments that were reinforcing the Australian battlefield arrived from the naval and air force bases in the Chagos Islands to field airports in southern Australia. Wu Zhenjiang was so excited that he opened up his posture and waited for the Japanese army and sea forces to arrive.
The mixed fleet appears again!
Wu Zhenjiang wanted to fight, but Admiral Yamamoto did not want to fight. Although the losses of the Combined Fleet's carrier-based aircraft in yesterday's air battle were not significant, it was still a loss. Previously, the Combined Fleet's losses in the Southwest Pacific battlefield had not been replenished.
, he really didn’t have absolute confidence in fighting the China Division’s land-based aviation.
In addition, Admiral Yamamoto is even more worried that if the fight continues like this, the carrier-based aircraft of the Combined Fleet will be wasted on the battlefield in central Australia. This will affect the deployment of his troops in the eastern Indian Ocean and cut off the China Division's Australian battlefield troops and logistics supply lines.
Target.
The combined fleet took action, but it did not change the current passive situation of the Japanese troops stationed in Australia. "Yamamoto is also a weakling. He will fight back when he gets tough!" Lieutenant General Morishita was so anxious that his head was smoking, and he cursed Yamamoto Isoroku in his heart.
Another even more anxious telegram, as if Australia would be lost soon if no reinforcements came, once again flew to the base camp.
With the help of the combined fleet, General Mitsuichi Minai, the chief of general staff of the base camp who finally completed the task of evacuating more than 300,000 imperial soldiers from the Southwest Pacific battlefield to northern Australia, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when he received a call from the Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Army.
When he received Lieutenant General Guan Sen's emergency and request for help telegram, he suddenly saw stars in his eyes and secretly cried out in his heart.
Koichi Minai has nothing to do now. All the available troops in his hands have been used up. The only measure that can stabilize the war situation in Australia is to mobilize troops from the North American battlefield. However, the current North American battlefield is treacherous and murky. The Germans
His attitude is firm, that is, he will not let the empire's troops in the North American battlefield leave. He doesn't have the capital to quarrel with each other. The more than one million imperial soldiers on the North American battlefield are used to fight the devil Tang Qiuli, not to fight against him.
The Germans were furious.
The delegation to Germany for negotiations has so far made no progress because the country is unwilling to lower its bargaining chips and the negotiations have reached a stalemate. If an agreement cannot be reached with the Germans, the imperial troops who are reinforcing the Australian battlefield will not be able to leave the North American battlefield.
His Majesty the Emperor's attitude is that he will never compromise or make concessions to the Germans. This seems to be a dead end.
Minai Guang was filled with sorrow. Originally, it was a clever move to evacuate the troops from the Southwest Pacific battlefield according to the plan of that scheming guy Zai Ren. However, it was disrupted by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. It was originally a smooth move.
Along the North American battlefield, the empire's more than 1.6 million elite troops are now hostages of the Germans. How could this happen? How could the Japanese Empire's external battlefield become a mess?
What makes Koichi Mineuchi even more angry is that the current commander of the Imperial Army in Australia, Morishita, has a huge force of nearly 600,000 people, but he has been defeated in battles and frequently in emergency. Is it Morishita's incompetence and poor command, or is it the Imperial Army in Australia?
Due to his low combat effectiveness, Koichi Mineuchi believed that the former reason was the reason, and his desire to remove Morishita from his post became more and more intense.
Being in a coma cannot lead to death. The top priority right now is to solve the problem of troops to reinforce the Australian battlefield. This problem cannot be solved by Koichi Yoneuchi, so he took Morishita's telegram and went to the palace to meet Emperor Hirohito.
After reading the telegram, Emperor Hirohito, who had obviously been in a bad mood and not well rested recently, had a pale face that was even more clouded with worry. "It's better to hold an imperial military meeting and discuss it with your beloved ministers!" he said to Minai.
Guangyi said.
More than an hour later, the prominent and eloquent leaders of Japan's military and political circles gathered in the large conference room of the palace. When everyone was present, Hirohito said: "I haven't heard anything in recent times.
Good news, from the retreat of the Imperial Army’s troops on the Southwest Pacific battlefield to the dilemma faced by Genzaburo Ito on the North American battlefield now!”
"Now, there is even more bad news. The troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli are on the offensive in the Australian battlefield. The battle line has advanced to central Australia and is spreading to the north. Morishita, the commander of the Imperial Army in Australia, called to report
I'm in a hurry, and I'm asking for reinforcements. Dear friends, please express your opinions, speak freely, and come up with good strategies!"
None of the ministers said anything. It was obvious that the troops to reinforce the Australian battlefield could only be transferred from the North American battlefield. However, because the empire and the interests of North America refused to make concessions to the Germans, the negotiations with the Germans have not yet yielded any results.
Without the Germans' permission, the imperial soldiers could not leave the North American battlefield to reinforce Australia.
If the Germans are allowed to let go and no more obstacles are set up, the only way is to meet the German conditions. What conditions? From His Majesty the Emperor to the big bosses in the base camp, everyone knows very well that the Japanese Empire gave up the interests it gained in North America, and the Germans took advantage of it.
The advantage in military strength and occupation of communication lines was the reason why more than 1.6 million elite imperial troops were detained on the North American battlefield.
This is a deadlock. The key point lies with His Majesty the Emperor. If the Germans don't let go, then only the Empire will give in. But this is the bottom line in His Majesty the Emperor's heart. Who dares to touch it and live impatiently?
Once that daredevil dares to act like a horse, His Majesty the Emperor, who has been in a bad mood recently, may be dragged out and beheaded on the spot. Therefore, after Emperor Hirohito said these words, there was silence.
The ministers all looked at each other with astonishment, and their words were as precious as gold.
Emperor Hirohito was not a stupid person. He was able to make the rebellious Japanese military very docile and manipulate him in the palm of his hand. He was naturally very different from ordinary people. He knew the reason why the ministers were silent.
During this period, Emperor Hirohito has been thinking that the reason for the stalemate in negotiations with the Germans is nothing more than the word "interest." If it were not for the existence of the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire - the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, what would the empire have gained in North America?
He will not give up an inch of his profits to the Germans. On the contrary, he will grab more, even if it means breaking his face and fighting with the Germans, he will not hesitate.
But now it seems that it is completely impossible. The empire cannot use all its military power to compete with the Germans for North American interests. Not to mention that the final result is unpredictable, but North America is more important than Australia.
, Hirohito knew that Australia was more important than North America.
In terms of hatred, the Germans are allies and friendly forces. If the empire gives up most of its interests in North America, it will still have some left. But if it breaks up with the Germans, there can only be two consequences, one
It seems difficult to defeat the Germans. Even after defeating the Germans, considering the current strength of the empire, it seems that it is not enough to fight the United States alone, defeat the Americans and Canadians, and dominate North American interests.
Another result is that the empire is completely defeated in North America. Let the Germans fight it out, and even the last bit of profit cannot be saved. It is undoubtedly the least wise move to choose the lesser of two evils. Breaking up with the Germans.
But that China devil Tang Qiuli is different. He is the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire. There is absolutely no possibility of negotiation or compromise between the two sides. It is a life-and-death war. If the Australian continent falls into Tang Qiuli's hands, not only will the empire overseas
All resources are cut off, and even the homeland will be threatened. That Chinese man's ambition is not only in a corner of the southwest Pacific, but the Japanese archipelago may also be in his greedy eyes!
After weighing the matter, Emperor Hirohito had already made a decision that he had to make even though his body was bleeding. "Alas!" He sighed and said in a very tired tone: "My dear friends, I know the difficulties in your heart.
.....!”
