Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli was a little curious that the Americans were so devastated now, how could they have the leisure to send out such a nondescript observation team? Even if there were legitimate reasons, the observation team shouldn't go all the way to Chongqing. The place where the war was fought In Australia, learning crafts should also be on-site?

However, this curiosity flashed through Tang Qiuli's mind. The current America is not the fat and strong America in history. The Germans alone can torture Americans to death. In the face of the powerful offensive of the German army, the Americans themselves are almost desperate, and they are not worried about making waves. Vertex Novel ,

The German head of state, Hitler, sent a telegram to himself triumphantly two days ago, saying that the Americans and Canadians, under the attack of the heroic German army, are now retreating step by step, with heavy casualties. Optimistically, if Without major accidents, Germany can end the North American War before the end of [-]!

Tang Qiuli believed Hitler's words. After Germany and Japan teamed up to beat the Americans half to death, Germany now is fully capable of single-handedly defeating the United States and beheading it. The end of the North American war before the end of the year, Tang Qiuli is not sure, after all, where is the background and national strength of the United States, and Canadians help transfusion, Hitler wants to end the war in North America for more than a year, I am afraid it will not be so easy!

However, Tang Qiuli didn't really come, and reminded the Head of State who was so hot that he was happy to see the Germans blocked in the North American battlefield. Therefore, for this so-called "military observation" Regiment," he went to Chongqing on the runway, so he didn't care much.He just said to Ge Zhenzhuang, Chief of the Staff Department: "Give Shen Jun a telegram and keep a close watch on him!"

Tang Qiuli's attention.Still put it on the Australian battlefield, now.The Sulu mobile corps and the troops directly under the command of brother Qiusheng fought with the Japanese army in central Australia and gained the upper hand. According to brother Qiusheng's telegram, the momentum of the Japanese army seems to have weakened recently. Not sure, but the opportunity was not missed.The independent division went to northern Australia, advancing an average of more than [-] kilometers, and wiped out a large number of Japanese troops.

According to the information from the Intelligence Department, after Ito Yansaburo arrived in Australia, the nearly one million Japanese troops who had gathered in northern Australia showed no signs of moving to the battlefield in central Australia. Tang Qiuli did not know that Ito Yansaburo was the defeated general. , What the hell are you doing, but it is enough to arouse his vigilance.

In the telegram to Tang Qiusheng.He specifically mentioned this point, "Brother Akio, according to the current concentration of Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield, he is fully capable of launching partial or even full-line counterattacks. However, after Ito Genzaburo took office, he stayed put and continued to use the former Japanese troops stationed in Australia. The motive of fighting our army cannot but be vigilant."

"Therefore, the speed of the troops' attack can be reduced again. The focus should be on parallel operations and the annihilation of the active forces of the Japanese army, and the advance should not be too deep in northern Australia, so as not to be surrounded by the Japanese army!"

Tang Qiuli's worries are not unreasonable. Although the logistics department is desperately sending troops and equipment to Australia, the sea transportation of such a large number of troops and equipment is still slow. Now the independent division troops assembled on the Australian battlefield, In addition to the two corps that are currently fighting, only the No.20 Ninth Corps of Jingzhan Banner and most of Ma Chaoyang's Southeast Mobile Corps have reached the assembly point in southern Australia. The rest of the corps are still at sea. still awaiting shipping.

In a sense, Japan and the Independent Division are competing for the speed of deploying troops to the Australian battlefield. Obviously, the Japanese troops transferred from the North American battlefield to the Australian battlefield, because the sea transportation distance is too far, it is equivalent to across the entire Pacific Ocean In the sea area, the speed of troop deployment is lower than that of independent division troops.

Nevertheless, in the past month, more than 70 Japanese troops have arrived on the Australian battlefield. Together with the original Australian troops, the total strength has reached more than one million people. Australian forces on the battlefield.

At this time, at the level of the senior commanders of the Japanese army, the lack of strategic talents was fully exposed. The Japanese army can take advantage of the existing force advantages to launch a large-scale counterattack against the independent division troops on the Australian battlefield. Push the front line to the southern part of Australia instead of waiting until all the troops are assembled. Perhaps it was the Japanese army's top-to-bottom, several years of contest that frightened Tang Qiuli. Anyway, no senior Japanese general has proposed such a plan.

Including General Nanno, who is known as the think tank of the Japanese army and was wronged to command 56 to [-] Japanese troops in North America. His previous suggestion to Yamamoto [-] was to wait until all the troops were assembled and had an absolute advantage before launching a counterattack.

Another object of Tang Qiuli's attention is what new measures will be taken by Nagumo Tadaichi after taking office as the commander of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet. What he is most worried about is that all the main forces of the combined fleet will go west to the East Indian Ocean, and they are busy going to Australia. The independent division's sea transport line that transports troops on the battlefield conducts strikes. If so, he can only be forced to stop continuing to transport troops, because he cannot afford losses.

However, Nagumo Chuichi did not disappoint Tang Qiuli. According to intelligence, in the near future, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy will still focus on escorting the army's troop carrier fleet, and has no intention of going west to the East Indian Ocean. In fact, according to the current situation Under the circumstances, the United Fleet used one-third of the warships to escort, and there was no problem. Even if the two fleets of the independent division, the North and the South, were combined, their strength could only reach a quarter of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Nan Yunzhong's cautious character and rigid command style allowed Tang Qiuli to safely and boldly mobilize troops to the Australian battlefield according to the established deployment. Therefore, in July [-], surrounding the Australian battlefield, Japan Ren and Tang Qiuli didn't seem to interfere with each other, and they were busy in the Pacific Ocean and the East Indian Ocean.

I could already hear the rumbling guns coming from the front line, and asked about the thick smell of gunpowder smoke. General Ito Yanzaburo, who was rushing to the front line of the central Australian battlefield, finally arrived at the latest station in Krona after a few days of travel and dust. Kerry's Central Theater Command.

Speaking of this, General Ito Yanzaburo was very angry. The original central theater headquarters was located in Daraja. Seeing that it would arrive in two more days, he received a call from the commander of the Australian Army, Morishita Naka. The general's urgent telegram said that it was in the Dalaja area, which has now fallen into the hands of the independent division of China, and the imperial army was forced to retreat more than [-] kilometers.

After reading the telegram, General Ito was so angry that he tore the telegram into pieces. He couldn't figure out how Morishita was in command, backed by more than 70 imperial troops that had already reached northern Australia, and how he was still beaten by the Chinese Independent Division. After a defeat, I, the commander-in-chief, almost fell into the trap!

General Ito, who was covered in dust and full of anger, drove straight to the headquarters of the Central Theater Command after he arrived at Crickland. He wanted to ask Koji Morishita face to face, what happened?

After entering the headquarters, the only person who came to greet him was Chief of Staff Iwata, "Chief of Staff Iwata, where is your Commander Morishita?" General Ito asked with a sullen face, very displeased.

Chief of Staff Iwata dodged his gaze and said, "I don't know that the Commander-in-Chief will arrive so soon, and the department is far behind. Please take a break, Commander-in-Chief. I'll call Commander Morishita right away!"

"No, take me to see him!" General Ito raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

Chief of Staff Iwata hesitated, seemingly very embarrassed, "Well, Commander-in-Chief...you, still..."

"Take me there!" General Ito roared angrily. He had already noticed that the situation was not normal. He had sent a telegram in advance to tell Morishita that he arrived at Crickland today. Why didn't Morishita greet him in person? Iwata's chief of staff is still hesitating, there must be something tricky in it?

Chief of Staff Iwata was shuddered by the yelling, and he didn't dare to hesitate any more. He carefully took General Ito and his party to the best house in Crickland, and pointed to a closed door.

As soon as General Ito stepped forward, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. He was furious, kicked his leg, and kicked open the door with a "boom!" Got smoke in the head.

Lieutenant General Morishita was almost drunk, his arms were shirtless, his eyes were hazy, and what was even more exasperating was that he was hugging a half-naked, beautiful and plump female soldier, holding wine in his left hand, and was pouring it into his mouth. The right hand was rubbing vigorously on the plump breasts of the female soldier, and even the big movement of the door being kicked open did not attract his attention.

"Baga!" General Ito roared angrily, and said coldly to the female soldier, "Get lost!"

The female soldier half-covered her military uniform and hurried away with a pale face. Lieutenant General Morishita stared blankly at the group of uninvited guests with red eyeballs. Obviously, she was drunk and hadn't seen clearly who it was. Cursed in a dirty manner, "Baga, who let you in?"

General Ito's forehead was covered with black lines, his face was ashen, and the blood vessels on his temples jumped up and down. He put his hand on the handle of the command knife, squeezed it again and again, gritted his teeth, and looked fiercely like a wolf. "Stop!" He said He yelled and was about to go forward to wake up his boss, Chief of Staff Iwata.

The other officers who followed did not dare to speak out, including the chief of staff, Major General Akutagawa, who also looked at Lieutenant General Morishita who was too drunk to distinguish things with a cold look in his eyes, without saying a word. In the room, He only heard General Ito panting like a bellows, he rubbed his eyes around, and happened to see a pot of dirty water in the corner of the room, picked it up, and poured it on Lieutenant General Morishita's head without any explanation .

"Huh? Baga!" Lieutenant General Morishita, who was shaken by the water, yelled furiously while wiping the dirty water all over his head and face. He was awake and angry.
