Age of Conquest Reborn

The reason why Ito Yanzaburo attached this personal opinion to the base camp that would definitely offend and make people jealous was that he had his own reasons. He was very aware of the virtues of the big guys in the base camp.

He is a good player, but when it comes to commanding operations, he is really not a compliment!

Genzaburo Ito, who has led troops fighting abroad for many years, knows very well the role of the base camp. Isn't it a joke to let a group of big guys who are thousands of miles away from the battlefield dictate to the combat troops? No matter how important their status is, their military rank

No matter how high it is, can there be front-line commanders who understand the actual situation on the battlefield?

Of course not. General Ito has reflected on the fact that the reason why he suffered a disastrous defeat in the Southern China Continent and the China Independent Division was directly related to the blind command of the base camp. Now the decisive battle in Australia is about to begin, but his life and fortune are at stake.

At a critical moment in the battle, the base camp issued an order that was inexplicable and contrary to the actual situation on the battlefield. Would you say you followed it or disobeyed it?

Therefore, General Ito made up his mind to keep the ugly words in his head and lay the groundwork for disobedience. He did not have much hope for this, but to his surprise, the base camp actually agreed to his request and answered

Just one sentence, "The success or failure of Australia's decisive battle depends on you. You can exercise command independently without any interference!" Moreover, the Australian combat plan has not been changed at all, just two words, "Approved!"

Although the words were a little cold, the meaning was very clear, which made Ito Genzaburo stunned for a long time. In fact, this was because Emperor Hirohito came forward to speak, "Sending multiple orders will easily cause the frontline commanders to be at a loss as to what to do... The decisive battle in Australia

Leave everything to Ito Aikyo. I believe he can create miracles!"

Otherwise, with the temper of the big guys in the base camp, especially Koichi Yonai of the army, just with these words, Ito Yanzaburo will never have an easy time. They have enough reasons to be angry. The position of commander of the Imperial Australian Front,

It was the Army who snatched it for you, but now you are saying things like this, how come your wings are so hard?

Is what you Ito Yanzaburo said about "not being disturbed by the base camp" just aimed at several highly respected army bosses under the Mi Cabinet? Insinuating the past defeats suffered by the imperial army at the hands of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli,

It was all caused by the overstepping of the command at the base camp. He was so vicious that he looked like a white-eyed wolf!

Yanzaburo Ito didn't have the time to think too much. As long as it was at the critical moment of the Australian campaign, the big guys in the base camp should not jump out and point fingers. They should fight according to their own established battle plan, plus the addition of new ones.

Italian weapons and equipment. We are very sure of winning this war!

In mid-September, Ito Genzaburo held a military meeting in Darwin. At the meeting, a detailed deployment plan was made for the Australian battlefield counterattack. Ten days later, in late September, an army of 1.6 million troops was mobilized.

, divided into three groups and rushed toward southern Australia.

The specific offensive deployment of the Japanese army is, West Road, the newly formed First Army to the Fifth Army of the Australian Front, with a total strength of about 400,000, equipped with three tank brigades, more than 200 M41 medium tanks, and six

A heavy artillery brigade, equipped with Italian 1940-style 150 mm caliber artillery and more than 700 Japanese 100 mm caliber field guns. The air support is the First Combined Air Force, with a total of three Centaur fighters and Mistral bombers.

More than a hundred racks.

The western offensive force, using Kalumburu as the starting point for the attack, passes through Fedora, Roy Hill, Mount Vernon, Yalgoo and other places to attack southern Australia, going straight to the southernmost Perth and Boer.

Dayton and other places, occupied the vast area west of the Great Sandy Desert, Gibson Desert, and Victoria Desert, and looked for opportunities to annihilate the independent division troops in the area. The commander of the offensive force was Lieutenant General Okabe Kazuo, commander of the First Army.

The middle road is the newly formed Sixth to Twelfth Army of the Australian Front, with a total strength of more than 600,000, equipped with six tank brigades, more than 400 M41 medium tanks, and ten heavy artillery regiments.

It has Italian 1940-style 150mm caliber artillery and more than a thousand Japanese 150-caliber large-caliber field guns. The air support is the 2nd and 3rd Combined Air Force. It has Italian fighter jets and bombers, as well as Japanese fighter jets and

More than 700 bombers.

The central offensive force, with Darwin as the starting point for the attack, passed through Birdham, Waukop, Kniston, crossed the MacDonnell Mountains, passed through Montgrany, Moray and other places, and attacked southward, with the goal of eventually capturing Ard

Ryder, the commander of the offensive force on this road, is personally served by General Ito, and the commander of the Sixth Army, Lieutenant General Miura Kazuhito, is the deputy commander.

On the east road are the newly formed 13th to 19th armies of the Australian Front, with a total of more than 600,000 troops, equipped with seven tank brigades, more than 400 medium tanks, and ten heavy artillery regiments.

It has nearly a thousand Japanese and Italian large-caliber artillery pieces, and its air support firepower is provided by the Fourth and Fifth Combined Air Forces. It has more than 700 Italian fighters and bombers, as well as more than 700 Japanese fighters and bombers.

The east-route offensive force took Cairns in northern Australia as the starting point for the attack, passed through Anneville, Chalvis, and Ngoniya, crossed the Barwang River, and in the Coba area, divided into two groups again, passing through Ai

Wenhuo, Benyugo and other places, go straight to Melbourne, and the other way, cross the Lachlan River, pass through Gurgaoy, June and other places, go straight to the port city of Canberra in southern Australia, and then attack eastward to attack Sydney.

Newcastle and other places.

Then, the central and eastern offensive forces attacked each other and swept across the southern region of Australia. The tactics of the three-pronged offensive forces allowed the adjacent troops on the left and right to rely on each other, fight steadily, and gradually advance. Through a series of battles, the independent division troops were pressed into Australia.

The small area in the south was divided and surrounded, and then encircled and annihilated one by one. The western offensive troops, after destroying the independent division troops, immediately moved eastward and joined the central and eastern offensives!

The newly formed 20th Army of the Australian Front, with a strength of about 100,000, served as the general reserve for the campaign, waiting for orders at any time. After that, the troops from the North American battlefield gradually arrived in the Australian battlefield, and were organized into four armies as the main force for the Australian campaign.

The second echelon of troops is ready to invest in any direction at any time.

Judging from Ito Yanzaburo's deployment, the focus of the attack is on the southeastern region of Australia, especially the vast area east of the Great Sandy Desert, Gibson Desert, and Victoria Desert, the rich areas of the Australian continent where the industrial base is concentrated.

This area is a veritable cabbage heart. To this end, General Ito invested more than 1.2 million troops on the central and eastern roads, nearly 900 tanks, and nearly 1,500 combat aircraft.

Japan emptied its wealth and bought heavy equipment and combat aircraft from the Italians. General Ito devoted all of it to the offensive. He fought with the British and American Allied Forces on the Australian continent for more than two years.

I am very familiar with the situation in southern Australia. Southern Australia, especially the southeastern region, has a developed industrial base, which can provide a steady stream of logistical support for the China Independent Division. It is a must-defend place, and I chose this area as the key offensive direction.

Force the independent division troops to fight with themselves.

Judging from the comparison of the strength of the independent divisions and the Japanese army in the Australian battlefield, the independent divisions are slightly inferior to the Japanese army, with nearly 200,000 fewer people. The number and quality of tanks greatly exceed the number of Japanese tanks. Battelle's armored command

Department, the strength of the armored force on the Australian battlefield is ten tank brigades, more than 2,300 tanks, the strength of the aviation force, and the number of combat aircraft of the Southern Flying Group of the Independent Division are basically equivalent to the Japanese army.

But before the war, Tang Qiuli issued an order to transfer eight fighter regiments, five bomber regiments, and more than 800 combat aircraft from the Northern Flying Group. Therefore, when the Australian campaign began, the number of combat aircraft in the independent division was

, more than 700 more than the Japanese army. Generally speaking, the Japanese army's army strength exceeds that of the independent division, but the number of heavy equipment, including artillery and tanks, and combat aircraft is less than that of the independent division.

More than 1.6 million Japanese troops were divided into three groups and rolled southward, rolling up smoke and dust all over the sky. Their momentum was astonishing. Such a large-scale military offensive could not be concealed from the eyes of the reconnaissance troops of the independent division's brigades. Soon, various brigades were

All the information in this regard was gathered to the division commander.

"Report!" Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe knocked on the door and came to the division commander's office. "Report to the division commander, I have received intelligence from the reconnaissance units of each regiment. The Japanese army has begun to attack. This is intelligence!" He said and handed over a piece of intelligence.

Gave it to him.

Tang Qiuli looked at it carefully and said calmly: "Ito Yanzaburo couldn't bear the loneliness. He didn't wait for all the Japanese troops on the North American battlefield to be mobilized, and he was busy fighting over and issuing orders. Each regiment followed the scheduled plan.

, fight separately!"

"Yu He, I would like to remind Deputy Commander Tang that the Sulu Mobile Corps alone faced the Japanese army attacking from the west. The pressure was not small. With a force of more than 300,000 people, it faced the Japanese army of more than 400,000 people. The force was at a disadvantage. The main force was

The main goal is to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to attack the Perth area, and blocking the Japanese army's attack is victory!"

"It will take several days for more than one million Japanese troops to pass through a distance of more than 200 kilometers. We cannot let the Japanese troops stop. I order Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang to start taking action!"

The decisive battle in Australia has begun. The battle plan formulated by Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang was to use the land-based fleet of the Southern Flying Group on the islands in the southwest Pacific to attack northern Australia, forcing the Japanese air force to be unable to allocate all combat aircraft.

Invested in the offensive, and then, the Australian battlefield aviation commanded by Liu Cuigang, on the one hand, carried out air combat with the Japanese aircraft fleet, and on the other hand, tried their best to attack the Japanese ground troops.

After receiving the combat order from the division commander, Le Yiqin personally led the team and commanded a huge fleet of more than 600 fighter jets, which rushed towards northern Australia with murderous intent. In addition, he also left four fighter regiments with more than 200 fighter jets.

Fighters are dedicated to monitoring the carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, and are also responsible for responding to the first echelon of aircraft groups.
