Age of Conquest Reborn

"Hahaha! Ma Chaoyang, I don't feel very comfortable!" After reading Ma Chaoyang's telegram, Feng Jiwu stood on the top floor of the former headquarters building of the northwest defense zone of Honshu Island and looked at the Yamaguchi Castle shrouded in the morning light.

laugh.

After thinking about it, Feng Jiwu said to the director of the Communications Department: "Reply to Commander Ma. After our army broke through two Japanese defense lines and occupied Yamaguchi Castle, the current battle in the northwest battlefield of Honshu Island has temporarily entered a stalemate stage, and we

The campaign target of the left-wing offensive group is the northwest area of ​​Honshu Island and all of Kyushu Island!"

"I think, firstly, Commander Ma can lead the second echelon headquarters to join me at Yamaguchi Castle and jointly command the next battle. Secondly, Commander Ma can go to Kyushu Island and unify the command of the current attack on Kyushu Island.

The Niangziguan Garrison Corps and Southeast Mobile Corps troops fighting against the Japanese army, please call me back as soon as possible!"

Major General Xu Guangqi, chief of staff of the Southeast Mobile Corps, found Ma Chaoyang with Feng Jiwu's telegram, handed the telegram to him, and said: "Commander, Commander Feng has called back!"

After receiving the telegram, Ma Chaoyang read it quickly, moved the corner of his mouth, and asked Xu Guangqi another question, "Chief of Staff, what is the strength of our left-wing offensive group on Kyushu Island? What is the strength of the Japanese army?"

Xu Guangqi immediately understood what the commander meant and replied with a smile: "Currently, our military forces in the northern part of Kyushu Island include ten mechanized infantry brigades, five of which are troops of the 4th Corps guarding Niangziguan, and the rest are us

In addition to the troops of the corps, there are one tank brigade, three artillery brigades, and two air defense brigades. They are now commanded by Zhang Hansheng, chief of staff of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps!"

"According to the battle report we received, last night the Kyushu Island landing force repelled the counterattack of nearly 100,000 Japanese troops. They severely damaged them and annihilated about 60,000 people, occupying a line of Shimonoseki that is more than 130 kilometers wide.

, a landing site with a depth of more than 30 kilometers. In addition, according to intelligence, the total strength of the Japanese garrison on Kyushu Island is more than 200,000, and more than 60,000 people have been lost. The remaining 100,000 Japanese troops are a lot of fat!

It’s worth a shot!”

"Hahaha!" Ma Chaoyang laughed. He joked: "If you say this, I won't be tempted. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers are worthy of a big fight. Call Commander Feng back. I'll go to Kyushu Island.

!Also, please ask Commander Feng to transfer his chief of staff back!"

After seeing Ma Chaoyang's call back, Feng Jiwu was overjoyed and shook his head and said: "This Ma Chaoyang would rather have a chicken head than an ox tail. Call me back and respect Commander Ma's choice. In addition, inform Chief of Staff Zhang, etc."

After Commander Ma arrives at Kyushu Island, he will immediately hand over command and return to the Corps Headquarters as soon as possible!"

At dawn, the battle on the battlefield in the northwest of Honshu Island has come to an end for the time being, and the Japanese army has retreated to the third line of defense. Feng Jiwu has no plans to continue the offensive. The troops who fought fiercely for a day and night need a short rest, replenish ammunition and supplies, and transport them to the rear.

Wounded, adjust deployment.

After finishing all this, Feng Jiwu sent a telegram to the division commander, "Division commander, our left offensive group, on the battlefield in the northwest of Honshu Island, after a day and night of fierce fighting, has now broken through the two Japanese defense lines and occupied Yamaguchi City. The troops are temporarily

Enter the rest stage, replenish ammunition and supplies, and transport the wounded."

"The Japanese troops on the second line of defense in the northwest of Honshu Island, after being hit to a certain extent, took the initiative to retreat to the third line of defense, judged their intentions, and wanted to shrink their troops. Relying on the defense system, they moved between the third line of defense and

Our troops are fighting for it, so the left-wing attack group headquarters plans to launch a full-line attack on the Japanese troops on the third line of defense one day later!"

"On the Kyushu Island battlefield, our unit has occupied and firmly controlled the landing ground in the Shimonoseki area, and repelled many Japanese counterattacks. Now, Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, has rushed to Kyushu Island to take charge of the battle against the Japanese troops on Kyushu Island.

Regarding the matter, in view of the fact that Kyushu Island is the battlefield in the direction, after discussion with Ma Chaoyang, different attack methods can be adopted, which are not synchronized with the battlefield of Honshu Island. Please let me know if the above deployment is appropriate or not!"

On the Sea of ​​Japan, a huge formation of troop carriers at the vanguard of the center attack group commanded by Tang Qiuli is sailing in the Sea of ​​Japan. Although it attacks at the same time as the left and right attack groups, it will arrive in the northern part of Honshu Island, Japan a few days later than them.

The landing, the troop carrier formation and the escort fleet of the leading force of the central attack group are progressing very smoothly. So far, they have not been noticed by the Japanese army.

Not even a Japanese reconnaissance plane appeared. Such an effect was entirely due to the ferocious attacks of the left and right wing attack groups, which attracted the attention of the Japanese army. This effect was exactly what Tang Qiuli wanted.

Hope to see.

After receiving the telegram from Feng Jiwu, Tang Qiuli, who had rested well, was full of energy and clear-minded. He was surprised that the left-wing offensive group was able to continuously break through and occupy two Japanese defense lines in such a short period of time. According to the established

Based on the battle deployment, Feng Jiwu Group won the beachhead position at the landing site, and gaining a firm foothold was the greatest victory. Obviously, after a day and night of fierce fighting, the results achieved by Feng Jiwu Group exceeded expectations.

This made Tang Qiuli very happy, and he immediately called back to Feng Jiwu: "I have heard all the calls, and I am very pleased. As far as the battlefield in the northwest of Honshu Island is concerned, the left-wing attack group has accomplished the purpose of the campaign beyond plan. Since the Japanese army took the initiative to withdraw and shrink its troops,

, then the Japanese army’s third line of defense will inevitably gather heavy troops, and relying on a complete defense system, it will be a battle that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!”

"Therefore, a full-line attack is not advisable. Your troops can carry out local key attacks on the Japanese army to attract the attention of the Japanese army and minimize the casualties of the troops! Regarding Ma Chaoyang rushing to Kyushu Island to command the troops in combat, the division commander fully agrees with you.

Internal overall arrangements!”

The left-wing offensive group achieved better than expected results in the northwest battlefield of Honshu Island and the northern battlefield of Kyushu Island. Tang Qiuli was completely relieved about Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang, and his attention turned to the attack on Hokkaido.

The right-wing offensive group, Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps and Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps' offensive progressed.

The attack of the right-wing offensive group was smoother than that of the left-wing offensive group. Japan's Hokkaido is not a key defense area of ​​the Japanese Homeland Defense Headquarters. After years of heavy losses in overseas battlefields, the total strength of the Japanese army is already stretched thin. Honshu

The island is the heart of Japan and the most important defense area, while Hokkaido is an obstacle zone used by the Japanese army to slow down and weaken the division's attack.

Therefore, the troops deployed by the Japanese Homeland Defense Headquarters in Hokkaido are only about 400,000, and most of them are temporarily recruited reserve soldiers. Their combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment are far from the Japanese troops defending Honshu Island. The Hokkaido Defense District Headquarters

The commander, Lieutenant General Kase Masaga, knew it well himself.

Within the Japanese base camp, Lieutenant General Kase Masaga is a general who is not very reused. He serves as the deputy director of the Military Depot Directorate, and he is also the last one among the five lowest-ranked deputy directors. If it were not for China

With the division's troops pressing down on the border, Lieutenant General Kase may never have the opportunity to command more than 400,000 troops.

When Prince Zai Ren, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Home Defense Headquarters, asked his adjutant to send a message to summon Lieutenant General Kase, he himself felt baffled. For this powerful and popular prince,

Normally, I can only look up to them, and I don’t even have the qualifications to say a word. The base camp has gathered the elites of the Imperial Realm, and there are many high-ranking officers at the lieutenant general level. Who am I?

But it happened that he, who was sitting on the bench, was summoned by Prince Zairen. On the way to meet Prince Zairen, Lieutenant General Kase was uneasy and imagined various possibilities in his mind, good and bad.

Yes, it was so tortured that it felt like there was a brazier sitting under his butt.

After arriving at Prince Zain's office and completing the routine etiquette, His Highness the Prince, who is now responsible for the life and death of the Empire of Japan, told him straight to the point, "Kase-kun, the Home Defense Headquarters and the Base Camp General Staff Headquarters jointly

It has been decided to appoint you as the commander of the Hokkaido Defense Zone Headquarters. The war situation is critical. After you make arrangements, you can take up the post immediately!"

Lieutenant General Kase was taken aback. He was so shocked by the sudden news that he was dizzy. After a few minutes, he returned to normal. With doubts in his mind, he asked carefully: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Staff has taken the liberty to ask for advice. Are you and

General Staff Headquarters, why would you assign me such an important position?"

Lieutenant General Kase's reaction was seen by Prince Zai Ren. There was a mysterious smile on his lips, but his tone was very serious, and he said: "Kase-kun, because I and the General Staff of the headquarters believe in you.

With his military command ability, he will definitely be qualified for his new position and make Hokkaido an insurmountable area for the Chinese!"

"I have read your resume carefully. During the Manchurian Incident, you served as the commander of the 1st mixed brigade of the Kwantung Army in North Manchuria. You commanded the troops to fight against the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. During the period, you achieved remarkable results.

The second detachment of the China Devil Tang Qiuli, who was still the Bloody Hand Regiment at the time, was severely damaged. There are not many current Imperial Army generals who are familiar with the combat style of the China Division!"

"Later, you had disagreements with General Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army at the time, on the military strategy. You were eventually transferred back to the mainland and served as a casual post in the base camp. Until now, you have been depressed. You are a general who can command troops in combat.

Instead of idle people working in logistics, the general staff of the base camp has buried talents. I only discovered this through your resume!"

"Therefore, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Home Defense Headquarters, I, against all opinions, ask His Majesty the Emperor to appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Home Defense Headquarters, Hokkaido. In this way, Kase-kun, are you satisfied? All doubts are over.
