Age of Rebirth

The Battle of Hawaii Island ended with the loss of more than [-] U.S. troops and a complete victory for the Japanese Army. On July [-]th, the sun still rose above the Hawaii Island. Under the sun, it was after a great war that was devastated. On the battlefield, the broken and incomplete corpses of soldiers were scattered all over the beautiful Hawaiian island. The salty sea breeze blew away the gunpowder smoke and the strong smell of blood, but it couldn't disperse the solidified, dark red blood stains everywhere.

The commander of the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Yoshiki Hirano, surrounded by a group of generals and junior officers, entered the cave with a fierce look on his face. The commander of the Seventh Army of the US Army, Lieutenant General Harrison committed suicide, dozens of American The corpses of the soldiers lay horizontally in the cave, bleeding, gathered in a small pit, and had solidified. Judging from the death of the American soldiers, they died after being stabbed in several holes with bayonets before bleeding out.

This is not surprising, it is in line with the practice of Japanese soldiers, and it is also the habit of soldiers of the Seventh Army. Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki walked up to the dead Lieutenant General Harrison's body, looked at it coldly, and suddenly pulled out from his waist. With a gun, under the puzzled eyes of all the Japanese officers and soldiers, facing Lieutenant General Harrison's body, "Bang bang bang!" Just a few shots!

Until all the bullets in the gun were shot, then he said coldly to the soldiers around him: "Chop off the head of this American bastard, hang it at the gate of my headquarters, chop the body into several pieces, and throw it into the sea. Sharks in the Pacific Ocean will be interested in American bodies!"

Putting away the pistol and turning around, Lieutenant General Hirano ordered the Chief of Staff, Major General Shindo: "Chief of Staff Shinto, immediately order the divisions. All American prisoners of war will be executed on the spot, and the results of the battle will be reported to the headquarters and the General Staff!" [

The bestial, bloodthirsty, cruel, and bloodthirsty Japanese officers and soldiers can't understand why the majestic Lieutenant General Commander would flog the corpse of an American officer. Interested in killing living enemies or prisoners of war.As for the corpses, probably your Excellency the Commander has this preference!

Only Chief of Staff Nobuto understands in his heart why Lieutenant General Hirano did this. Your Excellency the Commander, he hates this American general who made him lose face and lose money.Vent the anger in my heart!

On the island of Hawaii, the gunfire subsided.It started to sound again, and the smell of blood filled the air again. It was a soldier of the Japanese Seventh Army, who was executing American prisoners of war according to the order of the commander, Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki. On this day, there were more than [-] American prisoners of war. , within a few hours.He was massacred, and Lieutenant General Harrison's head, just like that, has been hanging on the flagpole in front of the Japanese Seventh Army Command in Pearl Harbor.

Until two years later, the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Independent Division captured the island of Hawaii, and the commander of the Corps, Lieutenant General Feng Jiwu.From the mouths of the Japanese prisoners of war, I learned that what happened was that Lieutenant General Harrison's head, which had become a skeleton, was installed.Special personnel were sent back to the United States and handed over to Lieutenant General Harrison's family, and the atrocities committed by the Japanese army were revealed to the world!

According to people who came back, Lieutenant General Harrison's wife, Ms. Marina, and their two underage children lived in poverty. The reason for the annihilation of the Second Army was to pay only a meager pension to his family. Regarding the move by the Independent Division, the US officials were even more silent, but some folks spontaneously organized a memorial service!

Independent Division Guangzhou Garrison Headquarters, on the morning of July [-]th, Division Commander Tang Qiuli's office, Tang Qiuli was reading a telegram sent by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, the telegram was sent by Yu Deshui, Director of the Intelligence Department of.

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli raised his head and said to Zhao Yuhe: "The war on Hawaii Island is over, and the Americans finally failed to keep their east gate. Next, life for the Americans will be difficult. However, the U.S. Army's first The second army's counterattack before death was unexpected. The Japanese suffered a big loss. Judging from the outcome of the battle, the Americans will be forced to take a defensive position. Yuhe, what do you think of this battle? ?”

Zhao Yuhe smiled and replied: "Master, you are testing me again. Well, then I will play the game. Judging from the results of the Battle of the Hawaiian Islands, the failure of the US military stemmed from underestimating the enemy. The strength of the Japanese army has no Sufficient attention, especially the U.S. Navy, this kind of thinking that underestimates the enemy is the root cause that directly led to the annihilation of the two Pacific Fleets."

"Another point is that after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the response of the U.S. Army was quite slow. The Japanese Seventh Army did not send reinforcements until a week after landing on the island. At this time, the Japanese army had already established a firm foothold on the island and established Starting a logistical supply line from the mainland to the Hawaiian Islands, the Japanese Navy went all out, and the U.S. military had strong national strength, but unfortunately, they did not form a unified combat force. In this battle, the Americans were defeated by underestimating the enemy and strategic planning superior!"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Oh, this is a new point of view. The Americans have never regarded the Japanese as their opponents. When the war suddenly came, they were insufficiently prepared, both psychologically and materially. If you are in a hurry, you will make mistakes. Yuhe, I have a suggestion. The Guangzhou Military Academy is currently holding a short-term training course for regimental officers. I think you can give a few lectures to instill your views into the officers! "

"The dean of the academy originally invited me to go. Since you have analyzed the situation on the Eastern Pacific battlefield so thoroughly, I think you can go instead of me and let the regiment-level officers participating in the training understand. The situation in the Pacific battlefield!"

Zhao Yuhe turned pale with fright, waved his hands again and again, and said, "No! No! Teacher, you don't know the details of my half-bottle of vinegar, so don't make me look like a fool. It's fine to discuss it with you, and you can use it for the lecture. Don't do it anymore!"

Looking at Zhao Yuhe's frightened look, Tang Qiuli was overjoyed and said, "Then don't hesitate, Yuhe, the war on the Eastern Pacific battlefield is over, and we have to fight before the Japanese army launches the Luzon Island campaign." , to solve the Hong Kong issue, it's time to start, have all the troops participating in the Hong Kong campaign assembled in place?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Master, the mixed training of the Special Operations Detachment and the infiltration detachment of the Guangzhou Garrison is basically over, and the infiltration plan can be implemented immediately. The Liao Zhenbang Division of the Second Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps arrived on July [-] Heyuan, the designated assembly point, is undergoing street fighting training, directly under the Liu Hongzhang Department of the First Brigade of the Corps, and on the [-]th, it has arrived at the designated assembly point in Zhaoqing, and training has also begun.”

"The Chuziye Department of the 11th Brigade directly under the Corps arrived at Gaoyao, the designated assembly point on the same day, for targeted training. The Wang Yiwu Department of the [-]th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps is on its way to the assembly point. The current location is in Yangjiang, and it will arrive at the destination Foshan in two days. The No.[-] Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps, Zhao Shoushan, has landed at the Zhanjiang Military Port and is preparing to move in. It is expected that on the [-]th of this month, all participants The infantry units of the Hong Kong Campaign can all reach the designated assembly point!"

"In addition, the first, third, fourth, and sixth tank brigades led by Commander Battelle have marched into the Maoming area. Because it is a mechanized march, there are more than [-] tanks, and the target is too large. The armored forces follow Battelle's command. According to the order of the officer, we will go day and night, and it is estimated that we will arrive in Dongguan around the [-]th of this month, and all the troops participating in the war will be able to reach the designated location on the [-]th!"

"Five fighter regiments of the Le Yiqin Department of the Southern Aviation Group of the Air Force have already stationed at Nanning Airport. Commander Le personally leads the team. Because all the artillery units will not participate in the Hong Kong battle, the transportation pressure on the logistics department will be relatively reduced. Otherwise, the speed of troop assembly will be delayed by three to four days!"

Tang Qiuli frowned slightly. He could understand the way Battelle's armored troops marched. More than 300 tanks marched and spread tens of kilometers. If a Japanese reconnaissance plane like a fly stumbled across it by chance, the suddenness of the Hong Kong Campaign would be lost. Moreover, when Battelle was in Germany, he commanded an armored division, so he naturally had his own reasons.

However, Zhao Shoushan, the No.11 Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps, was very dissatisfied with the speed at which he was advancing. They were all mechanized marches, and they were all stationed in the Indochina Peninsula. Other troops, such as the two brigades directly under the Corps, had already arrived. The designated location and the assembly speed of this brigade are five days late, which is puzzling. [

When Zhao Yuhe discovered the abnormality of the division commander, he felt nervous for a while. He and the staff had made up the plan for the troops to move in and the assembly point. The division commander had discovered the problem, but where did the problem lie?He asked puzzledly, "Master, what's the problem?"

Tang Qiuli said: "What's the matter with Zhao Shoushan? Wang Yiwu's troops have already arrived in Yangjiang, and his troops have just landed in Zhanjiang. Why is this happening? Doesn't he know that he has already dragged the entire army down? The time to attack Hong Kong will be delayed by five days!"

Zhao Yuhe breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a smile: "Commander, this is the reason. The previous garrison area of ​​Zhao Shoushan Brigade was in the East India area. The No. 11 brigade stayed in the East India region, and his brigade, stationed the farthest, was transferred to participate in the Hong Kong campaign and had to pass through the Hukang Valley area."

"You also know that the road conditions in the Hukang Valley area are not conducive to mechanized marching. The No. 11 Brigade almost marched half by car and half on foot. Therefore, it was the last army to arrive in Guangdong. For this reason, Zhao Shoushan Brigadier, I have already asked the division headquarters for punishment!"
