Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuquan, Commander of the Naval Fleet of the First Division, who was commanding the escort fleet and escorting the troop transport fleet to Australia, suddenly received an order from the division commander, "Order, the Navy Fleet will send three additional aircraft carriers on the basis of the existing escort force, Go to the Australian battlefield, and use the fleet carrier-based aircraft as the core combat force to ensure the retreat channel for the Australian Allied Forces in port areas such as Melbourne and Adelaide!"

After reading the telegram, Rear Admiral Xin Xiguo, chief of staff of the fleet, was very puzzled and said: "Commander, the division's previous order was that the fleet would not intervene in the Australian war, and even deliberately delayed the time to reach Australia. Why did it suddenly change now? Order? It is completely opposite to the previous order!"

With a playful smile on the corner of Tang Qiuquan's mouth, he said: "The situation in the Australian battlefield has changed suddenly, and it is already one-sided. Just think about it, Japan's Southwest Pacific dispatched troops did not suffer much loss on the Australian battlefield. To annihilate the Allied forces and occupy Australia, is it in line with the division commander's intention of the Australian war situation?"

"Absolutely not!" Ge Zhenzhuang replied without hesitation, and his heart suddenly became clear. He is a senior general of the Grand Division and is qualified to know some core secrets. Naturally, he knows the strategic intention of the division commander in Australia, that is, the Japanese army Fighting with the Allied forces, both sides were hurt. After dying, the army of the Japanese Army took the opportunity to take Australia. Now, the Japanese army has not experienced much consumption, which is obviously not what the division commander wants to see. "

"This is a good explanation of the deep meaning contained in the command of the division!" Tang Qiuquan said with a smile, "Xiguo, immediately order the second squadron on standby at the Yangon Navy and Air Force Base to join the first squadron quickly. However, with our existing carrier-based aircraft alone, I am afraid that the troops are not enough. The division commander will have follow-up orders!"

Singapore, the headquarters of the Southern Aviation Group of the [-]st Division Aviation, the commander of Major General Le Yiqin, also received an order from the division, "Southern Aviation Group, immediately dispatch no less than seven fighter regiments and four bomber regiments. Stationed at the Naval and Air Force Base of the Chagos Islands, and form an air combat group with the existing combat aircraft at the base. And assign the command of this air combat group to the combat sequence of the Fleet Command!"

"Go to Australia to fight the little devils! I have nothing to do with you! The commander is biased! It's not fair, why should I send troops and let the fleet fight the little devils?" A group of staff officers in the headquarters.I heard it in the commander's office.There was a piercing wail, they all jumped, looked at each other and guessed, what's going on, what kind of stimulation did the commander receive?

On the Australian battlefield, the advance speed of the Japanese army can be described as overwhelming, and the Allied forces on the second line of defense of the Allied forces were broken through.Now the army is broken, and the entire front has been cut into countless disconnected pieces by the Japanese army.But the strength of the Japanese troops surrounding them was far less than their own.

What's even more strange is that the besieged Allied troops just stayed in the encirclement obediently, neither breaking through the siege, nor standing on the spot, as if they were waiting for something, like lambs to be slaughtered, there were more than 40 Allied troops The soldiers were left behind the main force of the Japanese army eager to advance to southeastern Australia. The Japanese army surrounding them had a strength of no more than [-], a typical encirclement with a lot of stuffing and a thin skin.

Moreover, the Japanese army was eager to advance in depth. After tearing open holes in the defense line, they roared past, and had no time to pay attention to them. Most of these Allied troops still maintained a complete organizational system, and most of their weapons and equipment were still intact. Have the power to fight again.

Under normal circumstances, troops with the will to fight will either break through or stand on the spot, and fight a bloody battle with the Japanese troops surrounding them. If you fight in the past, maybe there will be a comeback, maybe you don't know?

But at this point, the commanders at all levels of the Allied Forces who stayed and stood firm, even if they are fools, no matter how much they identify with and loyal to the United States and the British Empire in their bones, they probably understand in their hearts, "I am afraid that I and the troops will become The cannon fodder of the Allied Forces Headquarters in Australia, look, those troops are left behind, and those people are the first to evacuate!"

If you think about it once, you will understand the whole thing. The Australian Allied Forces Command already knew that the Japanese army would inevitably launch a full-line attack, and the second line of defense could not be defended at all. Therefore, the Americans, British and Australians People withdrew early, leaving us to stop the Japanese army for them. What's even more hateful is that in the order issued by the Allied Forces Command, the explanation for this is, "Normal mobilization of troops to establish a third line of defense!"

Originally, the commanders of these Allied forces who were abandoned and used as cannon fodder believed the words of the headquarters, but the ruthless reality is definitely a blow to the head. One of the American divisions and one of the British divisions also fled as early as the sound of the Japanese artillery, obviously receiving orders from the headquarters.

"Damn it! We were sold by the Americans and the British! The lives of Yankees and Brits are valuable, but our lives are worthless?" The betrayed commanders of the Allied forces at all levels cursed angrily. .

Chilling!Subsequently, the order issued by the Allied Forces Command to "stop on the spot and never allow half a step back!" was treated by these heartbroken officers at all levels as farting. No one paid attention to it, and the order became a pile of Shredded paper, floating in the sea breeze of the Pacific Ocean!

The most frightening thing on the battlefield is that the army has no fighting spirit and lack of morale. The most desperate thing is being ruthlessly abandoned by the master. The most helpless thing is being cannon fodder and not knowing. The consequences of despicable practices have finally been exposed.

How can officers at all levels of the Allied forces who are extremely desperate for the Americans and the British give their lives to their masters who abandoned them? The officers have no fighting spirit, and the ordinary soldiers at the bottom are even more miserable. General Ito is full of confidence As a result, it appeared.

"Commander-in-Chief, good news!" Major General Yamaguchi, chief of staff of Japan's Southwest Pacific Dispatch Force, shouted, and excitedly came to General Ito's tent, "Commander-in-Chief, your judgment is really clever! My sincere admiration!"

"The commanders at all levels of the several divisions responsible for encircling the Allied forces have reported that the Allied forces within the encirclement began to surrender unconditionally in large numbers. As of now, nearly [-] Allied soldiers have surrendered. , their only request is to treat the Allied soldiers and officers who surrendered as prisoners of war!"

"Hehehe!" General Ito smiled reservedly, but his expression was palpable, "Yamaguchi-kun, there is nothing to surprise, as expected, I conclude that within three days, the surrounded Allied soldiers will All those who surrendered unconditionally, you, the chief of staff, will be busy in the future, just managing the prisoner-of-war camps is a complicated job!"

"Hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, hum... Yamaguchi-san, you shouldn't devote all your energy to such insignificant matters, but also to assist me in commanding the troops. The staff department can set up a special organization to manage prisoners of war! "

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief, the Ministry understands!" Major General Yamaguchi replied respectfully, and then said hesitantly, "The commanders of the several divisions who stayed behind to surround the Allied forces believed that so many Allied prisoners of war would be of great importance to us. It is a big burden and difficult to manage, especially now that the war in Australia is not over yet, they suggest that it is better to solve it on the spot and shoot them all!"

"No, no, no!" General Ito shook his head like a rattle, "Yamaguchi-san, you must clearly tell the commanders of the divisions that shooting prisoners of war is not allowed, unless they are deliberately escaping. We must It is clear that after the empire occupied Australia, large-scale construction will be carried out to make Australia a logistics base for the empire to support larger-scale wars. Hundreds of thousands of Allied prisoners of war are free labor and a working machine that creates value for the Great Japanese Empire! "

"Australia, which has a vast territory and a vast territory, lacks labor. The Imperial Army's expedition to Australia was not to destroy this place. We must keep this in mind. Mr. Yamaguchi, do we have a reason to destroy the machines we have already obtained? In the name of the people, issue the order I just gave to the troops at all levels, and no prisoners of war are allowed to be shot, and if there is any violation, they will be severely punished!"

Major General Yamaguchi fully understood what General Ito meant, and his admiration became more and more intense. Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, is really far-sighted!

Major General Yamaguchi then reported: "According to the reconnaissance information, there are more than [-] Allied troops who retreated in advance, all of them are Americans and British, and some Australians are rapidly heading to the southeastern part of Australia. The purpose of retreating in the direction of each city is obvious, just as you feared, in an attempt to rely on the cities to resist in the corner!"

"With the current pursuit speed of the imperial army, it is difficult to annihilate the allied troops in the wild before they escape into the city! In addition, according to the information provided by hidden imperial agents, in several major cities in southeastern Australia, the allied forces Citizens are being mobilized to build street warfare fortifications in large numbers!"

"Hmph!" General Ito sneered repeatedly, "The Americans and the British have made a good plan, how can they succeed? Noda of the United Air Force is complaining. There is no chance of participating in the war. Send a telegram to Noda. United Air Force Dispatch all combat aircraft to bombard the retreating Allied troops continuously, destroy all bridges and roads, and use all means that can slow down the retreating Allied forces!"

"Tell Noda, don't worry about the loss of the United Air Force in the battle with the Allied Air Force, and inflict the greatest damage on the Allied Forces that have not yet been attacked by the Imperial Army before they flee into the city. In addition, order the pursuing troops , mobilize all vehicles, carry light weapons, form a number of fast detachments, rush ahead of the Allied forces at any cost, and occupy all important cities!"
