Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Two days later, the 53rd Motorized Infantry Regiment of the 15th Mechanized Corps of the German 7th Army headed north on the west route. As the core unit of the 15th Army, it entered Edgemont northeast of Merriman without haste.

    Edgemont is an ordinary small town in the central region of the United States, but because there are two railway lines intersecting in the town, one passes here from the direction of Cheyenne and goes directly to Peel City, and the other runs from Helena in the northwest.  Passing through the town and reaching Lincoln City in the middle, the town became a strategic point. The 53rd Motorized Infantry Regiment was ordered to occupy Edgemont and control the train station.

    The Americans retreated in such a hurry that even the railroad tracks were not damaged. Under the protection of several guards, the regiment leader, Colonel Brett, walked into the empty station to look at the intact facilities. On the side road, there was still silence.  There was a locomotive parked, and he couldn't help showing an uninterested expression.

    The 15th Mechanized Corps is the vanguard of the western offensive force, and the 53rd Motorized Infantry Regiment is also the vanguard of the entire group army. Heading north from Phoenix, Commander Brett saw almost this situation.  His regiment had not fought a single battle along the way. The attack in the central region of the United States was more like a conflict march. Is there any easier war than this?

    "Order the troops to occupy Edgemont immediately and search the town to see if they can find any local Americans!" Captain Brett said lazily to his chief of staff: "The regiment headquarters should be located at the station.  ! Report to the division that our unit has occupied Edgemont and there has been no fighting with the Americans!"

    Go into the webmaster¡¯s office.  Captain Brett ordered his guards, "Get a basin of water, damn long march!" He patted the dust off his body.  He was complaining, and after driving for hundreds of kilometers in a car, he was completely exhausted, and his bones seemed to be falling apart. He just wanted to wash his face, and then lie down and rest for a while!

    The entire 53rd Mechanized Regiment.  Not only the regiment leader, Colonel Brett, was feeling tired, but all the officers and soldiers were also unable to keep their spirits up.  With the gun on his back, he lazily searched the town casually, of course, before they arrived.  All the Americans in the town have fled.

    Separated by a mountain ridge.  On a road less than 20 kilometers away from the small town of Edgemont, a long line of vehicles was speeding towards the town at the fastest speed, rolling up thick smoke and dust.

    There are hundreds of vehicles in this convoy, including three-wheeled motorcycles and two-wheeled motorcycles, trucks, and armored vehicles.  There are also vehicles that are obviously for civilian use, looking like a hodgepodge.  However, each vehicle, facing the dusty sun flag, was filled with soldiers with fanatical eyes and dusty khaki military uniforms, which already showed the identity of this convoy, a subordinate of Japan's North American Combat Command.  A troop.

    Colonel Takeo Yokono was sitting in the cab of the leading truck. Although the soldiers driving the truck almost had their feet in the fuel tank, the engine of the truck was roaring without any movement. It was really worrying that the truck would fall apart at any time.  , but Colonel Yokono still kept urging: "Hayagu! Hayagu!"

    Colonel Takeo Yokono is the commander of the search wing of the 18th Division of the Ninth Army under the Empire's North American Combat Command. The commander of the army, Lieutenant General Kobayashi, gave the 18th Division the task of searching for the 18th Division as quickly as possible.  , captured Cheyenne, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Tada, gave the search wing the mission to capture Edgemont.

    The truck ran over the bumpy road, bumping like a boat in a storm, but Colonel Yokono seemed to feel nothing. In his mind, he was still thinking about the personal visit of the division commander Lieutenant General Tada before he led the team to set off.  What he said when he was given the task face to face.

    "Yokono-kun, I will give you the most important task of the search team. Your team will all switch to mechanized marches to occupy Edgemont and control the town as quickly as possible. Remember, this is Commander Yamamoto.  Officer, personally give our division one of the most important tasks!" Lieutenant General Tada said with a livid face.

    "The main force of the division is going to capture Cheyenne. You know that Cheyenne is now in the hands of the Germans. Whether it can be captured successfully is not yet known. However, if we capture Edgemont first and block the Germans,  Continue to the northward passage, Yokono-kun, you have done a great job!" Lieutenant General Tada's fingers clicked on the map, "The Imperial Army is competing for time with the Germans!  "

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Search Regiment is never afraid of any difficult mission!" Colonel Yokono touched his feet and replied concisely. Then, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, "But Division Commander, you also know that search  The regiment doesn¡¯t have that many vehicles, and it¡¯s impossible to do all mechanized marches!¡±

    "Yokono-kun, I've prepared it for you!" Lieutenant General Tada was obviously prepared and said: "I have gathered all the vehicles of the division together and handed over?Your alliance can be used. In addition, there are vehicles collected from the private sector, which are enough for one alliance!  "

    "With enough motor vehicles, the search wing can complete the tasks assigned by the division commander without any problems!" Colonel Yokono replied confidently.

    "Yokono-kun, this mission is not easy. It requires your regiment to drive a long distance of more than a thousand kilometers within two days and nights!" Lieutenant General Tada's face did not lighten up, and he said seriously: "Therefore,  , you must be prepared for any response, give you one hour to prepare, and then set off!¡±

    When the division search wing set off, many division commanders came to see them off in person. This was a great encouragement to the Japanese soldiers in the search wing. His pre-war mobilization speech was very inflammatory, "The warriors of the empire."  You guys! What we need now is for you to occupy Edgemont as quickly as possible. It takes two days and nights and a journey of more than a thousand kilometers. Although there is no harassment or obstruction by the US military, your biggest enemy is distance!

    "But you are samurai of the Empire of Japan, and you have the belief of being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. You will definitely be able to complete your mission! Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" He took the lead in shouting slogans!

    At this moment, the emotions of more than a thousand Japanese officers and soldiers were inflamed, and fanatical shouts reverberated. Before getting on the bus, Colonel Yokono quietly asked for instructions: "Your Excellency, division commander, in case the Germans  People have occupied Edgemont first, what should the Ministry do?¡±

    A fierce light flashed in the eyes of Lieutenant General Tada, and he lowered his voice and said fiercely: "You can deal with it as soon as possible, but you must occupy Edgemont. This is also Commander Yamamoto's request!"

    General Yamamoto indeed gave this order to all the troops. After learning that all the American soldiers and Canadian soldiers on the defense line of the Dillera Mountains disappeared without a trace overnight, he immediately went crazy!

    The following order was issued to each unit, "Each unit should immediately cross the Dilera Mountains as quickly as possible and advance bravely towards the central region of the United States. All units should gather all their vehicles to form a rapid force and seize all areas that can be seized. Do not  We should be concerned about the attitude of the Germans, but try to avoid conflicts with the Germans. We can pass through the gaps in the German-occupied areas and continue to advance towards the eastern region of the United States!¡±

    This order is very general and leaves a lot of room for the operations of each unit commander. At the same time, it also leaves hidden dangers. Japanese soldiers have always been arrogant and arrogant. When they collide with German soldiers,  There will definitely be sparks popping up.

    Chief of Staff Minamino said with concern: "Yamamoto-kun, our troops are distributed on a front line thousands of kilometers long. Except for the northern area, which the Germans have not yet had time to occupy, most of the areas in the central United States have been conquered.  Under the control of the Germans, if you issue such an order, I am very worried that the frontline generals will conflict with the Germans in order to occupy more areas!¡±

    General Yamamoto didn't know this, but he couldn't care too much. This man had a gambler-like character. He said: "The Germans formed a long snake formation from Phoenix in the south to Cheyenne in the north.  , but it is impossible to occupy all areas, which will inevitably leave a large gap, and this is where we can take advantage!"

    "In addition, as long as the 18th Division of the Ninth Army in the far north sends troops to occupy Edgemont first, it will be equivalent to blocking the Germans' passage to continue northward. At that time, they will also have the capital to bargain with the Germans.  !¡±

    Chief of Staff Minamino is still a little worried. He knows that as the troops of the North American Combat Command have always had the upper hand in the war against the United States, the troops are full of fanaticism and arrogance, thinking that they are invincible.  , even after being blocked by the US military at the defense line of the Dilera Mountains for several months, this mentality has not diminished.

    No one can predict what these arrogant and powerful generals will do once they are let loose. If they really have a conflict with the Germans, the matter will be a big deal. But if you don't do this, even if there is no immediate danger  Without the blocking of the US military, the imperial troops would definitely fall behind the Germans and be unable to occupy the central area of ??the United States. Therefore, Chief of Staff Minamino's psychology was very contradictory!

    Seeing his close friend's worried look, General Yamamoto said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Minano-kun, I have thought about it. In order to fulfill His Majesty the Emperor's ambition, I will plant the imperial flag on the land of the central United States, even if it is  Therefore, we will not hesitate to conflict with the Germans. At worst, all the responsibilities will be borne by me, Yamamoto!¡±

    Perhaps it was because of General Yamamoto¡¯s influence that General Minamino lost his worried look and said with a smile: ¡°I will bear the responsibility with Yamamoto-kun!¡±

    Following General Yamamoto¡¯s order, more than one million Japanese soldiers surged through the Dilera Mountains like a flood that burst their banks., spreading towards the central region of the United States, and countless small and elite Japanese troops who changed to mechanized marches were the head of this flood.

    Colonel Yokono¡¯s search team is just one of many waves, and it is also the fastest.
