Age of Rebirth

Throughout the day on July [-]th, the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army was making careful preparations for an unsuspecting victory. Ships carrying medicines and supplies kept docking at the Pearl Harbor Wharf. General Yamamoto Japan's combined fleet is cruising in the waters from Midway Island to the Hawaiian Islands. The Japanese logistics fleet is as safe as being in a swimming pool at home.

Guangzhou, Mainland China, Independent Division Guangzhou Garrison Headquarters, Division Commander Tang Qiuli's office. At [-]:[-] p.m., Tang Qiuli was reviewing the plan for the Hong Kong campaign formulated by the Staff Office.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, picked up the phone on the table, "Is it the staff office, is Chief of Staff Zhao there?"

After a while, footsteps sounded through the receiver, and Zhao Yuhe's voice came over, "Master, I'm Zhao Yuhe, what do you want?"

Tang Qiuli said: "Yuhe, I suddenly remembered that after the naval battle between the U.S. and Japanese fleets, the battle on the Hawaiian Island battlefield should also be over. Does the Intelligence Department have any information about this?" [

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Master, yes, I just received a telegram from the intelligence department, and I will go to your office right away!"

After a while, Zhao Yuhe knocked on the door and came in, and handed a telegram to Tang Qiuli, "The intelligence department reported to the division headquarters, and based on the analysis of the intercepted telegrams between the Japanese and American armies, we came to the following conclusions. On the afternoon of the [-]th, until now, there has been no large-scale battle on the battlefield of Hawaii Island. However, about [-] nautical miles east of Midway Island, the Japanese combined fleet and the U.S. land-based fleet engaged in a large-scale air battle. The battlefield is over!"

"In addition, a U.S. transport fleet also turned around and returned to Los Angeles after the U.S. land-based fleet withdrew from the battle. According to intelligence, the telegrams sent by the Japanese Seventh Army to the country were all urging supplementary medicine to be used for the battle. Early preparations." After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli shook his head again and again with a look of bewilderment.

Zhao Yuhe hurriedly asked, "Is there any question, Commander? Has there been an unexpected change on the Hawaii Island battlefield?"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I just don't understand why the Japanese Seventh Army didn't respond to the desperate situation yesterday afternoon when the entire US Pacific Fleet was wiped out and [-] reinforcements died in the sea. The Second Army of the U.S. Army launched an attack, and today, it has not done anything, and the Japanese's thinking is really hard to guess!"

Zhao Yuhe put forward his own opinion from another angle, "Master, it may be that the Japanese army has consumed too much medicine and supplies, and they are replenishing them. The telegram from the intelligence office also explained this point. The Japanese army is vigorously Supplementary medicine and supplies, or, the Japanese army still wants to use the Second Army of the US Army as a bait to lure US troops to come for reinforcements to expand the results of the war!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said, "No, that's not the case. With the strength of the Japanese Seventh Army and the two reinforced divisions, there is no need to look like an enemy when facing the already severely damaged US Second Army." Look, just imagine, the Second Army of the U.S. Army is compressed into a small area, which is dangerous to defend and loses the fire cover of the Pacific Fleet. Is it necessary for the Japanese commander to do this?"

"Actually, the Second Army of the U.S. Army is surrounded. With their current strength and morale, they can't break through the encirclement of the Japanese army several times larger than their own and expand their battlefield space. Hold on, wait for rescue, do nothing else, and the air battle that took place about [-] nautical miles east of Midway Island should be an action by the Americans to evacuate the Second Army."

"However, it was obviously not successful. The Japanese did not intend to let go of the Second Army of the U.S. Army. Forget it, the Japanese are unreasonable. They cannot use normal thinking to judge that nation. They are playing a game of cat and mouse. , It’s not impossible, just leave him alone and let the intelligence department pay attention to the battlefield situation on Hawaii Island, that’s enough!”

On the afternoon of July 20th, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Island, the headquarters of the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army. At midnight last night, more than [-] Japanese reporters who arrived at the battlefield in Hawaii, after a full rest, were all in good spirits. They were in the war room, listening to the The commander, Lieutenant General Hirano, explained the upcoming offensive campaign against the US Second Army.

On the snow-white wall, hung a large battle deployment map with red and blue arrows interlaced. If it wasn't for the explanation by Lieutenant General Hirano, the reporters would really not be able to understand the battle deployment map like a bible, and Lieutenant General Hirano holding a wooden stick , with the air of a famous general who is planning a strategy, facing more than 20 reporters, talking with eloquence, quite a bit of giving advice, and everything is under control!

Lieutenant General Hirano looks very good today, with a straight general uniform, snow-white gloves, shaven chin, and two gold stars on his collar badge, shining against the afternoon sun. After the explanation, Commander Hirano concluded He said: "Everyone, tomorrow, you will see, initiated by our Seventh Army, a magnificent battle of annihilation jointly carried out by all arms, land and air. I think you will definitely make this trip worthwhile!"

The reporters applauded enthusiastically, and then picked up the camera and took a quick shot. The spotlight was shining, dazzled the eyes of Lieutenant General Hirano, a beautiful and enchanting female reporter squeezed forward, and asked softly: "Your Excellency General , do you have any predictions for the outcome of the battle?"

Lieutenant General Hirano, obviously caring about the beauty's question, replied confidently and succinctly: "I have no doubts to tell this beautiful lady that this battle will fully demonstrate the might of the Imperial Japanese Army. The result will be a complete victory!"

On the evening of July [-]th, the sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean blew across the positions of the U.S. Second Army, making the U.S. soldiers feel cold. The commander, Lieutenant General Harrison, was also holding a military meeting with the commander of the Japanese Seventh Army. Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki, the meeting full of confidence to win is different, the military meeting of the Americans is full of an atmosphere of fear and despair!

Lieutenant General Harrison had already received a telegram from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which told him, "We are preparing to withdraw the transport fleet of the Second Army, because of the blockade of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, the French and Air Force dispatched a large fleet to cooperate with the Japanese Navy's carrier fleet. The fierce battle has so far failed to break the Japanese blockade. In the near future, your army group will mainly stick to the existing positions, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff will do everything possible to withdraw your troops from the Hawaii Island battlefield!"

Lieutenant General Harrison understood that his group army had become a lone army, surrounded by the Japanese on three sides, and the vast sea on one side. More than 6 soldiers had come to a dead end. They either died in battle or surrendered !

Today's meeting is a telegram notifying the Joint Chiefs of Staff. After listening to it, the faces of the US military generals who participated in the meeting dimmed. This is by no means good news. The Japanese have already occupied an absolute advantage in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Whether the team can come, no one is sure in their hearts, or in a few days, a week, a month?Can the Japanese give enough time?

The answer is of course no. Lieutenant General Harrison, looking at the faces of several division commanders, sighed and said: "Everyone, we are already facing a desperate situation. Maybe tomorrow morning, the Japanese artillery will blow up our positions. I have a proposal, let’s ask the Japanese to surrender, so that more than 6 soldiers’ lives can be saved, and as for the shame of surrender, I will personally bear it, do you have any opinions?” [

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was dull, oppressive, and breathless. Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, Brigadier General Field, the commander of the First Division of the Marine Corps, who had been fighting fiercely with the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army on the battlefield of Hawaii Island, stood up abruptly. Trembling with excitement, he said: "Commander, I have been fighting the Japanese for more than 80.00 days, and my division has lost more than [-]% of its troops."

"From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to fight any more, but, Commander, do you know how the Japanese treated our captured soldiers? I saw with my own eyes that just before the battle, hundreds of our captured soldiers The soldiers were beheaded by Japanese soldiers with knives, and the Japanese soldiers also piled their heads into a tower."

"That kind of bloody scene is the scariest scene I have ever seen. The Japanese are all beasts. They are devils who kill without batting an eye. They don't keep prisoners of war. Killing prisoners of war is what Japanese soldiers often do. Holek Brigadier General Deng, you have witnessed that kind of bloody and cruel scene with your own eyes!"

Brigadier General Holekden, the commander of the [-]rd Division of the Marine Corps, also stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "Yes, Commander, what Commander Field said is true. The soldiers of our division who were captured by the Japanese were in my In front of me, Japanese soldiers doused their bodies with gasoline and set them ablaze, not dozens of people, but hundreds of people, soldiers covered in fire, running in pain, while Japanese soldiers laughed crazily."

"The Japanese don't keep any prisoners of war. Don't expect that if we surrender, we can save our lives. Commander, do you want to send more than 6 soldiers to the Japanese, and let those beasts chop off our heads and set us on fire?" body?"

Including Lieutenant General Harrison, more than a dozen senior officers of the Second Army of the U.S. Army gasped, and their hairs stood on end. They may have never seen such a scene. Apart from being shot, Since they landed on Hawaii Island, they have not fought against the Japanese infantry, but the two division commanders of the Marine Corps are different. Since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, they have been fighting the Japanese army on Hawaii Island. Their words are absolutely true. believable!

Despair, the atmosphere of despair, shrouded in everyone's heart. Surrender is a dead end. If the fight continues, it will eventually be the result of the death of all. Constant inner struggle, choose how to die.

After the extreme despair, it was a struggle against death, gradually overcoming fear. In the venue, a desperate atmosphere rose, and the eyes of the US military generals began to turn blood red!
