Age of Conquest Reborn

The losses were minimal, the reinforcements were timely, the enemy took advantage of the opportunity, and they were not fooled by the Chinese. Compared with Lieutenant General Chiba's troops who were beaten to death by their opponents, Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshizawa, the commander of Japan's Kyushu Island Defense Zone Headquarters

, felt that even if he did not make any meritorious service, at least he was not at fault, so after receiving a stern rebuke from the deputy commander-in-chief of the headquarters, Prince Zai Ren, he felt so wronged that he almost cried.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Shirakawa had to stand up and speak to express his grievance for the unfair treatment he had received. But just after he said a few words, he was rudely interrupted by Prince Zairen, "That's enough! Shirakawa Yoshizawa, what do you want to say?"

, Isn’t it clear to me, Deputy Commander-in-Chief? It’s like it’s stuck in your throat and you can’t spit it out quickly, humming, do you really want me to clarify what I said?” Prince Zai Ren stared at him with a cold light in his eyes, and his tone was even colder.

Scary.

In fact, Prince Zai Ren hated people like Shirakawa Yoshizawa very much. He spent all his intelligence and wisdom on internal fighting, and there was no interest in the empire at heart. Lieutenant General Shirakawa, under Prince Zai Ren's gaze, suddenly

He felt guilty for a while, as his little tricks were undetectable. He knew how powerful this prince was, and he was on a par with the number one boss in the imperial world, His Excellency Koichi Mineuchi.

In an instant, all the injustices and grievances turned into cold sweat. Lieutenant General Shirakawa sat down with his head down in frustration. He did not dare to speak anymore. Prince Zain did not look at him again, and then announced the northern defense zone of Honshu Island.

The candidates for the headquarters commander, chief of staff, and air defense commander were, not surprisingly, people he brought from the Home Defense Headquarters.

Finally, Prince Zain announced a stipulation that the headquarters of the Kyushu Island Defense Zone and the northwestern Honshu Defense Zone, especially the aviation force, will focus on defense in future operations. If we do not require active attack, we will never repeat today's air battle.

Same mistake.

As he spoke, Prince Zairen glanced specifically at Lieutenant General Shirakawa, and said in a serious tone: "I hope you will use your intelligence and talents to share the worries of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire, instead of harboring bad intentions.

He only cares about the opinions of his colleagues, otherwise, he will bear the consequences at his own risk. I don’t mind using his head to alert officers at all levels!"

The combat principles formulated by Prince Zain mean that the Japanese aviation forces in the northwest of Honshu Island and Kyushu Island will not go to war. In fact, they have no ability to go to war. The huge losses cannot be made up in a short time.

.

Liu Cuigang followed his own plan and began to proactively seek a decisive battle with the Japanese aviation. He designed a series of traps, but they all had little effect. It was not that the Japanese were cautious enough, but that their own strength was damaged and they were unable to fight.

But the Northern Flying Group was not without gains. Through a series of small-scale air battles, it further weakened the Japanese aviation forces in the northwest of Honshu Island and Kyushu Island. Although piecemeal attacks were not as satisfying as large-scale decisive battles, the combined results were gratifying.

.

In early May, Liu Cuigang repeated his old tricks and joined forces with the Northern Fleet again, preparing for another large-scale ambush in the southern area of ​​Sakhalin Island. When the mighty warship group of the Northern Fleet passed through the Soya Strait in a swagger,

More than a thousand fighter jets were assembled at more than a dozen field airfields such as Darnia in the southern part of Sakhalin Island, waiting for the Japanese aviation force from Hokkaido to be dispatched.

It is a pity that the headquarters of the Hokkaido Defense Zone of Japan's Homeland Defense probably accepted the lessons of the Korean Strait War and did not dispatch a combat aircraft, not even a reconnaissance aircraft, allowing the huge fleet of the Northern Fleet to enter and leave the Sea of ​​Japan.

and the Eastern Pacific. Liu Cuigang, who was stationed at Darnia Field Airport in the southern part of Sakhalin Island, was greatly disappointed. He sighed to Chief of Staff Dong Ningxuan: "The little devil has become cunning!"

Since the Japanese army did not dare to take the initiative and repeated attempts to lure them failed, Liu Cuigang decided to attack. Starting from the beginning of May, the Northern Flying Group fighter group and bomber group were divided into several routes to attack the Japanese army's airports in the northwest of Honshu Island and Kyushu Island respectively.

Defense facilities, frequent air raids were carried out, and the air combat battlefield reached the Japanese mainland. Prince Zain was quite helpless and could only strictly order all ministries to adopt a defensive posture.

While the Northern Flying Group carried out frequent air raids on Japanese military airports and defense facilities in the northwest of Honshu Island and Kyushu Island, it also used the southern part of Sakhalin Island as a base to launch attacks on military airports and military airports in Wakkanai, Tenshio, Nayoro, and Edako in northern Hokkaido.

military targets, and intensive bombing was carried out. At this point, in the view of the Japanese Homeland Defense Headquarters, the two points for the China Independent Division troops to attack the Japanese mainland have been very clear.

One is to use Busan on the Korean Peninsula as the starting point to attack the northwest of Honshu Island and Kyushu Island. The other is to use the southern part of Sakhalin Island as the starting point to attack Hokkaido, and then pass through Hokkaido to attack the northeastern part of Honshu Island, the final goal.

, which is Tokyo, the capital of the empire.

On May 10, the Japanese base camp held an important military meeting convened by Emperor Hirohito. At the meeting, three key directions for the empire's homeland defense were determined, namely, the northwest of Honshu Island, the northeast of Honshu Island, and the following.

In the capital defense circle with Tokyo as the core, the Japanese have not forgotten that on the Ogasawara Islands, there are also the fleet and aviation of the China Independent Division, as well as a considerable number of army units.

After the meeting, the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army Base Camp and the Mainland Defense Headquarters issued a series of orders. The Japanese troops in Japan began to mobilize and assemble in the above three key defense directions. It is worth mentioning that the Japanese troops who arrived a few months ago

The more than 100,000 Italian troops in Japan were originally regarded as a trump card by the Japanese and guarded in the northwest and northeast of Honshu Island, becoming the first barrier to resist the attack of the independent divisions.

However, the performance of the Italian army on the North American battlefield greatly disappointed the Japanese, and they also realized that these Italians with a glamorous appearance and pretentiousness were actually just embroidered pillows that looked useless, said the deputy commander-in-chief of the Japanese Home Defense Headquarters.

Prince Zai Ren personally issued an order to move the Italian army to the second line of defense. In this regard, General Oroso, the commander of the Italian reinforcements of the Japanese troops, also wanted it.

The East Point Force of the Independent Division swept across the Italian Asian Expeditionary Force on the North American continent. It really frightened the Italians out of their courage. If they continue to stay on the Japanese archipelago, which is like a powder keg, the final outcome may not be good. Contact with the Japanese

What's more, General Orozo also saw clearly that the current situation of the Japanese was a ship that was about to sink. He did not want to stay in Japan for a day.

In this regard, General Orozzo sent multiple messages to Prime Minister Mussolini in the form of secret messages, requesting the Italian government to come forward and mobilize reinforcements for Japanese troops to return home immediately. This move was in line with Mussolini's wishes. He is now

They are looking for gold and other items to exchange for the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers captured on the North American battlefield, but they don't want to give the hundreds of thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers to that despicable and shameless, rogue and blackmailer Chinese Tang Qiuli

, as a bargaining chip to demand ransom.

Mussolini, in the name of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, called the Japanese government and requested the Japanese government to immediately arrange for the Italian troops to withdraw from the Japanese mainland. As for the reason, it was ready. The Chinese Tang Qiuli wanted to send troops to invade the Italian mainland.

The Italian government must call back the Italian troops overseas to defend the country. Not only the troops in Japan, but also the troops on the North American battlefield. To put it bluntly, it seems to be the Chinese ** troops. They will be here tomorrow.

Will knock on the door.

After seeing Mussolini's telegram, Emperor Hirohito sneered again and again. He was a super politician. How could he not see through Mussolini's little tricks? Hirohito despised Mussolini's actions very much. This bastard had nothing to do with the Empire of Japan.

How much money you have made is real money. Now, when you see something is wrong and you want to withdraw it, how can you do what he wants?

What is particularly hateful is that under the pressure of the China devil Tang Qiuli, Mussolini actually announced that he would cut off all trade relations with Japan and would never interfere in Asian affairs. As a result, Japan's only strategic material channel was blocked.

The forced interruption was more serious than adding insult to injury to the now precarious empire.

Since Mussolini is unkind, you cannot blame me for being unjust. Emperor Hirohito will never let go of hundreds of thousands of Italian soldiers. Now that they are here, they have the determination to tie themselves with the Empire of Japan and jointly fight against the invasion of the China Independent Division.

Therefore, Emperor Hirohito’s reply to Mussolini was very clear and simple: “Your Excellency Prime Minister, I have received the call. I am shocked to hear that your country is being threatened by the Chinese. The Empire of Japan and the Kingdom of Italy are allies.

, we should have the responsibility and obligation to provide full assistance, especially when our two countries face a common enemy, and that is the Chinese people!"

"However, our homeland is now under threat of being attacked at any time by the China Independent Division. We have the intention of reinforcements, but are unable to do so. Your troops stationed in Japan are actually the backbone of Japan's homeland defense, assisting the allies in resisting aggression.

It is also an unshirkable responsibility. Staying in Japan will better demonstrate the friendship between the two countries and their determination to jointly fight against foreign enemies!"

"Now, the Japanese mainland has been surrounded by the China Independent Division. The Empire of Japan cannot arrange for the evacuation of more than 100,000 soldiers of your country. We can only wait until the invasion of the China Independent Division is repelled and the Japanese mainland is safe and sound. I will lead the

All the citizens send off the Italian troops on their triumphant return home, for which I am deeply grateful!"

Seeing Hirohito's call back, Mussolini was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood and cursed the Japanese for being as despicable as the Chinese. He knew very well that his hundreds of thousands of troops were kidnapped by the Japanese.

On the Asian battlefield, in the future, we will become hostages of the Chinese.

What bad luck! Mussolini shouted, bad luck. He was so regretful now that his intestines were blue. How could he have been so obsessed with the Japanese in the first place? Now it's bad luck. In addition to vomiting all the money he earned from the Japanese.

In addition to coming out, Italy has to catch up with a lot of things. The move of sending troops to Asia to compete for interests has led to vomiting blood!
