Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 3171 The means of counterattack

"Mussolini, you and your army will be a good gift for me to sacrifice the flag!" Tang Qiuli said to himself. He had no pressure to fight against the Italian army. Blocking the route from the Eastern Pacific to the Japanese mainland would mean taking action.

If the Italian army wants to reach Japan, they can only take this sea route. As for the land route, don’t even think about it!

The Italian army was not worthy of being called an opponent. Immediately, Tang Qiuli's thoughts turned to the issue of sending troops to the North American continent. △

"Sir, what's the big deal for coming to me in such a hurry?" Liu Tiehan's high voice sounded at the door, and immediately, his tall figure appeared in front of Tang Qiuli.

"Brother Tiehan is here, please take a seat!" Tang Qiuli recovered his thoughts and greeted hurriedly.

Liu Tiehan looked at Tang Qiuli's face, trying to detect some problems from his expression, but he was disappointed. The teacher, who was more than ten years younger than him, did not have any strange expression.

After Liu Tiehan sat down, Tang Qiuli handed him the information and said, "Brother Tiehan, take a look at this first!"

After reading the information, Liu Tiehan's thick eyebrows furrowed, he pondered for a moment and said: "Commander, the Italians are in deep trouble. This is not good news. The little devil's methods are not bad. They can really make trouble. They recruit troops in Europe.

There is some advice from an expert, but I can’t figure out whether this expert is German or Italian!”

"But one thing is certain, the Italians and the Japs are tied together. This is forcing us to fight against the Italians. Commander, please find me in a hurry. Are you going to give the Italians a big pain?"

"Eat, where are you going to take action? Why don't you let me lead the troops to attack the Italian mainland?" As he said that, a sly smile appeared in his eyes. He seemed to have guessed Tang Qiuli's intention.

"Hahaha! The one who knows me is Brother Tiehan!" Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "Brother Tiehan, attack the Italian mainland now. We don't have such a big appetite yet. That is the last resort. I have a plan.

, I plan to let you command about two-thirds of the troops of the East Point to attack the North American continent. Would you like to hear Brother Tiehan's opinion?"

"Oh!" Liu Tiehan's eyes narrowed and he leaned forward suddenly. Obviously, he was shocked by Tang Qiuli's words. Then he asked: "I will obey the commander's decision unconditionally, but... North America Continent

But there are not many Italian soldiers left. I am going up with more than 400,000 people. Who is the target of the battle? How big is the battlefield? There must be a valid reason. The North American continent is the stage for the Germans!"

Liu Tiehan's few words asked about the key points. However, although he guessed Tang Qiuli's thoughts and taught the Italians a profound lesson, he obviously did not expect that Tang Qiuli's eyes were wide open.

On the North American battlefield, it is uncertain whether there will be friction with the German army.

Tang Qiuli obviously knew that Liu Tiehan would have such questions based on his battlefield experience, so he smiled and said: "Brother Tiehan, the intelligence you just saw has stated that the Japanese-occupied area in the western United States is

The Japanese paid Italy for its intervention in the Sino-Japanese War, in addition to the Ryukyu Islands and the Hawaiian Islands!"

"I have ordered the southern maritime offensive force to seize these two places. There are still about 80,000 Japanese troops in the Japanese-occupied area of ​​the western United States. They are the targets that must be eliminated this time. In this way, it is justifiable for us to send troops to North America.

, As for the scope of the battlefield, it is controlled within the Japanese occupation zone, specifically, it is bounded by the Dellera Mountains in the western United States. We occupy the area west of the mountains. I don’t think Hitler will, let alone dare to intervene!”

"Yes, it's feasible!" Liu Tiehan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "How should the East Point Force's attack route be taken, by sea?"

"No!" Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "To take the land route, the East Point troops will start from the station in Eastern Siberia, cross the Bering Strait, and land in Araki. They need to fight all the way through western Canada and then enter the western United States.

, launch an attack on the Japanese army somewhere!”

Liu Tiehan did not speak, but walked to the map and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said: "It will not be a problem for the troops to cross the Bering Strait and land in Alaska. The most difficult thing is how to quickly pass through western Canada.

In this area, the Canadian army will not let us pass easily, and will definitely stop it with all its strength. As a result, the army's logistics supply line will be a big problem!"

"Also, the current season and weather are also issues that need to be considered. The temperature in the Bering Strait and Alaska is many degrees lower than the Korean Peninsula. The issue of cold protection for soldiers and equipment, and the severe cold conditions in western Canada in winter

The terrain conditions, etc., are all important factors that need to be considered, especially the degree of resistance of the Canadian army, which determines the success or failure of this operation!"

Tang Qiuli sincerely admired Liu Tiehan. He was an excellent commander and had excellent qualities. He took into account all difficult factors, was calm-minded, and had clear thinking. This was the so-called "the husband will win before he fights."

If you have more, you have to count. If there is no battle but the temple is invincible, you have to count less. If you have more, you will win, if you have less, you will not win. What's more, if you don't count, you will shout!" This is in line with the gist of military strategists.

Especially the last sentence, most of the troops of the East Point have entered the North American continent and are a lonely force. If the Canadian army desperately blocks the attack, the East Point troops will inevitably encounter great difficulties and their troops will be consumed in Canada. Liu Tiehan's intention is,

It is to remind myself that I am taking a risk, of course, not to firmly oppose it!

Tang Qiuli still had a faint smile and asked: "What good strategy does Brother Tiehan have to solve many difficulties?"

Liu Tiehan smiled and said: "I don't believe that you didn't consider many issues before making this decision. You want to test me! Well, just try your best!"

"The key to entering the North American continent is to pass through western Canada. The troops should pass quickly and never get entangled with the Canadian army. The favorable factor now is that the main force of the Canadian army is concentrated in the eastern and northeastern United States and the southeastern region of the country.

, confronting the German army, as long as the troops move quickly, even if the Canadian army discovers us, it will be too late to mobilize troops to stop us!"

"Therefore, the route for the East Point troops to march into the North American continent in Canada is mainly based on the area close to the west coast of Canada. They advance in multiple routes. The battlefield range is strictly controlled and rapid assaults are carried out. Ports along the west coast of Canada are used as maritime supply points for the troops. This is how

, you don’t have to worry about logistics problems. The Pacific Ocean is now under the control of our fleet, so it is not difficult to do this. Moreover, from now on, the logistics supply of the East Point Force will mainly be carried out by sea!"

"As for the problem of keeping soldiers and equipment warm from the cold, it is within the scope of what we can solve, but it requires time to prepare. Also, the early operations should be kept secret as much as possible to not give the Canadian army time to react. That's all I can think of for the time being. Please ask.

Teacher, correct me!"

"Good! Brother Tiehan has left nothing out, this can be done!" Tang Qiuli clapped his hands and praised, in a very good mood, and pulled out a few ancient poems, "Brother Tiehan, this time the East Command troops entered the North American continent,

I entrust you with full authority and you can make a decision as soon as possible. As for when to take action, it is up to you, but I hope the sooner the better!"

"Sure!" Liu Tiehan accepted this very arduous task without hesitation and said: "A large-scale operation involving more than 400,000 people will require at least one month of preparation time, but it can be done as early as possible. After returning, I will let

Yang Ketian’s staff office will come up with a detailed action plan as soon as possible! I don’t think you have any thoughts, so I won’t bother you about having a meal!”

After sending Liu Tiehan away, Tang Qiuli went over everything again. This time, the attack on the Italians was in full swing, but it was not a head-on confrontation with the Italian army. Only when the Italian army passed the East Pacific sea route,

The real battle was when the troops were transported to Japan. Of course, it was a massacre. I didn't mind using the blood of tens of thousands of Italian soldiers to completely calm down Mussolini's boiling head!

It is very easy to intercept the Italian Army at sea. After the Southern Fleet occupied the Hawaiian Islands, it was equivalent to blocking the maritime chokepoint from the North American continent to the Japanese mainland. The Italian Army's route to reinforce the Japanese mainland could only be

Taking the Atlantic sea route, landing in Central America, and then passing through the Eastern Pacific route, Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands is a hurdle that cannot be overcome!

However, the pilots that Japan recruited from the European continent at a high price are a real and serious problem. If Japan does not solve the air defense force, the large-scale military operation to attack the Japanese mainland will have to be postponed. The troops cannot risk the Japanese aircraft.

It is a very real problem to carry bombs across the sea. At least, it is necessary to weaken the Japanese air defense force to the extent that it does not affect the ground attack. This requires a series of air battles to achieve the goal.

Tang Qiuli knew very well that many of the pilots from Europe were veterans who had participated in World War I and World War II. They had rich flying experience and air combat experience. Among them, there were many ace pilots. He thought deeply,

How should we fight the next battle?

The air battle over the Japanese archipelago was a great test for the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division. It was equivalent to the independent division aviation team fighting against veteran pilots from all over Europe. Coupled with the excellent performance of Italian fighter jets, it was able to compete with the Japanese.

The "Zero" fighter jets are completely different from each other. The performance advantages of our own fighter jets have been offset to a large extent, making the air battle against Japan even more difficult.

The Italians were deeply involved in the Sino-Japanese War, and the Japanese recruited a large number of pilots in Europe. A series of emergencies disrupted Tang Qiuli's original deployment. In the early stages of the attack on Japan's homeland, an air showdown was needed first, which was why he

Unexpected.

After thinking carefully, Tang Qiuli felt somewhat heavy. He called in a staff officer and told him to call Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, and ordered them to rush to the division headquarters.
