Age of Rebirth

Roosevelt ordered the evacuation of all U.S. and Canadian soldiers on the defense line of the Delera Mountains in the west, and the information that General Yamamoto ordered his troops to seize the territory with the Germans as quickly as possible. The US intelligence network was informed.

In Yangon on the Indochina Peninsula, in the headquarters of the Independent Division, the division commander Tang Qiuli was looking at a document, and the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng, the director of the division's communication department, came in together.

Zhao Yuhe was still holding a telegram in his hand, and said hastily as soon as he entered the door: "Master, the communications department has just received urgent information from the intelligence department, which is about information on the American battlefield!"

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe, puzzled by his hasty tone, and said, "There's been a lot of intelligence from the American battlefield recently, so what's the fuss about!"

"Master, this information is extraordinary. Major changes have taken place in the western battlefield of the United States!" Zhao Yuhe raised the telegram in his hand and said.

"Specific content!" Tang Qiuli also became interested.

Zhao Yuhe looked at the telegram and said: "The intelligence agency's intelligence network in the United States learned that the night before the Western Time in the United States, more than 100 million American and Canadian soldiers deployed on the front line of the Delera Mountains gave up overnight. The line of defense is all withdrawn to Canada!"

"The large retreat of more than 100 million people was not noticed by the Japanese, and it was completely retreated overnight. It seems that the means and energy of the Americans should not be underestimated. I admire the efficiency and strength of the US and Canadian troops." The command system is smooth!" Zhao Yuhe added his own evaluation and exclamation.

"The U.S. military has abandoned the defense line of the Dilela Mountains?" Tang Qiuli said in surprise, this information.For him, it was absolutely unexpected, "What is Roosevelt going to do?" He mused.

"Yuhe. Where are the Germans now?" Tang Qiuli suddenly asked another question.

Zhao Yuhe replied: "According to the intelligence, the vanguard of the German army has reached the Merriman area in the central part of the United States, and there are signs of continuing to advance north!"

"How did the Japanese react?" Tang Qiuli asked again.

"More than 100 million Japanese soldiers rushed to the central part of the United States like a flood of dikes, and ran with all their might. They even gathered all the vehicles to form a rapid force!" This time.Zhao Yuhe answered more briskly.

Tang Qiuli didn't speak, walked to the large military map, looked at the map solemnly, and thought again.It's been a long time.He just left the map and looked at the April sky of the Indochina Peninsula.

"Master, what did you think of?" Zhao Yuhe asked.

"Roosevelt is such a big hand! He is ruthless and decisive! This is a gamble! A gamble on the future of the United States! But it is also very clever!" Tang Qiuli said with emotion: "Roosevelt is extraordinary!"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes flashed, and he thought about it and said, "Master, what you mean is that it was Roosevelt's order for the U.S. military to abandon the defense line of the Delela Mountains in the west, and it was a brilliant strategy of his!"

"Very right!" Tang Qiuli said: "Before, Roosevelt desperately prevented the Japanese army from breaking through the defense line of the Delera Mountains, but in the central region, there was almost no defense in the area where the Germans clearly moved north. I doubt that the American The central region may be a point that Roosevelt needs to use!"

"Now, it is absolutely certain that after the Japanese army could not break through the defense line of the Delera Mountains and the Germans entered the Merriman area, Roosevelt suddenly ordered to abandon the western defense line that could continue to be held. The point of conflict between the Germans and the Japanese!"

"Master, I understand!" Zhao Yuhe said, "Based on the fact that the Germans and the Japanese did not join forces without any barriers in the matter of the war against the United States, but each had their own plans. Central region, to intensify the conflict between Germany and Japan!"

"That's right!" Tang Qiuli nodded approvingly, and said, "It's like a person who is flanked by two wolves, throws a piece of delicious fat on the ground, and let the two wolves grab it. , the wolves will fight first, and they don’t care about attacking that person, Roosevelt is that person, Germany and Japan are wolves who grab fat!"

"My dear!" Zhao Yuhe exclaimed, "That American President Roosevelt is really ruthless. After making such a large bet, he will not be afraid of the Germans and Japanese. First kill him, and then divide the Eat that piece of fat?"

"Of course not!" Tang Qiuli said firmly: "Although Roosevelt doesn't understand military affairs, he is an excellent politician. He can clearly see what kind of plots and strategies he uses to intensify the conflict between Germany and Japan. , When it comes to specific interests, allies will also become enemies, and, with the greed and arrogance of the Japanese, and the arrogance of the Germans, it is not difficult to hit the flames when the interests of the central United States are disputed!"

"This is Roosevelt's strategy. He is buying time for the United States. Moreover, Roosevelt dared to make such a big bet. He was very sure. There are traces of this. When Rommel did not send troops northward to attack Salt Lake City When assisting the Japanese army to break through the western defense line of the US military, he had this determination, no matter what, I still admire Roosevelt's determination very much!"

Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng understood it completely, and both of them couldn't help being shocked, and had to admire Roosevelt's courage.

"Master, do you think that there will be a conflict between the Germans and the Japanese? After all, more than half of the territory of the United States is still controlled by the Americans! At this time, I am afraid that the two sides will restrain themselves!" Zhao Yuhe asked again. questioned.

"The conflict between the Germans and the Japanese is inevitable!" Tang Qiuli said brilliantly in his eyes: "Yuhe, order Yu Deshui, the intelligence office is closely watching the central region of the United States, the German army and the Japanese army In the meantime, everything that happened, it seems that the time for us to do something in the Southwest Pacific is coming soon!"

In the central part of the United States, a truck drove up a mountain ridge, and the outline of a small town appeared in front of him. Colonel Yokono raised his binoculars and took a closer look. Open the map, and sure enough, there are more than [-] kilometers ahead, which is the goal that I must occupy, a small town in the middle of the United States-Edgemont!

After two days and nights of forced marching, a distance of more than [-] kilometers, the entire search team, in addition to getting out of the car to solve the toilet, even slept and ate in the car. Before departure, they brought enough rice Tuanzi and Yinshui, soldiers of the imperial army, were also determined, and the delay on the road was less than six hours. Not only Colonel Yokono, but all the officers and soldiers were so exhausted that they were about to collapse!

However, all the exhaustion and pain disappeared without a trace as the target appeared in front of him. Even in the cab where the engine was roaring, Colonel Yokono seemed to be able to hear the cheers of the soldiers.

Colonel Yokono once again raised his binoculars to observe the situation in Edgemont. At least from the current distance, the town is very quiet, and he cannot see the target of the activity. "It seems that the Germans have not arrived here yet! Finally took the lead step!"

Colonel Yokono wanted to report the good news to Lieutenant General Tada, the commander of the division immediately, but he changed his mind and was not in a hurry. It would be safer to report it after Edgemont was occupied!

The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded this land of the United States in a blood-red sunset glow. In this blood-red sunset glow, the truck that Yokono was riding in took the lead and rolled up a puff of yellow dust and rushed down the mountain ridge. Going straight to the small town of Edgemont, behind, there are hundreds of vehicles of various colors, full of exhausted, yelling Japanese soldiers, following them like rolling rocks, the momentum is quite amazing!

After Colonel Brett washed his face, he lay comfortably on a wooden bed, dozing off with half-closed eyes. Outside, the cook had already prepared dinner, and the scent of coffee wafted over faintly. I thought: "It would be the best if I could take a hot bath happily!"

Immediately, Colonel Brett shook his head mockingly. Although the guards had delivered the dinner to the house, he still didn't want to get up. His muscles and bones were spread out, and he didn't seem to want to move. At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps.

Major Salmos, the chief of staff of the regiment, bumped into him and shouted: "Report to the regiment commander, enemy attack! From the west of the town!"

"What?" Colonel Brett exclaimed, jumped up from the comfortable bed, grabbed the pistol on the table, and hurriedly asked: "The specific situation! Has the enemy's identity been confirmed?"

"The sentinel reported that a large convoy was found about ten kilometers away from Edgemont, approaching here at an extremely fast speed. The distance was relatively long, and the dust rolled up by the vehicle made it impossible to observe the specific situation. The other party's The identity is still unknown!" Chief of Staff Salmos said hastily.

"Order the troops to prepare for battle!" Captain Brett's eyes lit up immediately, and he gave the order excitedly, and then shouted: "Guards, follow me to the west of the town!" He had the excitement of going into battle immediately.

The well-trained German soldiers, although they received the order in a hurry, were quickly ready for battle. When Colonel Brett arrived at the west end of the town, the German soldiers had already used natural barriers such as houses to build a A temporary line of defense was set up, with more than a dozen light artillery guns raised, and a pair of light and heavy machine guns, with black muzzles, facing the direction of the convoy.

Looking at the soldiers waiting in full battle, a sneer appeared on the corner of Colonel Brett's mouth. With the current firepower, these unscrupulous trucks can be enveloped in a rain of bullets in an instant!

With the afterglow of the bloody sun on their backs, the convoy was getting closer and closer, but because of the smoke and dust, the specific situation was still unclear. Colonel Brett ordered: "Everyone, get ready to shoot and wait for my order!"
