Imperial Overlord

"Boom!" Inside the telescope, a shell exploded on a ridge full of trees in the distance, sending up a black plume of smoke.

Putting down the binoculars, Brigadier General Horace Harding, the artillery commander of the US 1st Army, nodded with satisfaction.

It has been almost half a month since the US military attacked New Guinea, and they are still only slowly expanding their victory on the plains, unable to cross the northern ridge one step.

The Japanese army established a solid line of defense in the mountains, and every step forward of the American troops had to pay a huge price.

In half a month of fighting, the United States lost as many as 30,000 troops, but they did not even see the dawn of retaking New Guinea.

Yamashita Fengwen's tactics changed. Originally, he just wanted to fight back, trying to quickly drive the United States into the sea to end the battle.

Later, due to the limitations of logistical supplies and the lack of his own troops, Yamashita Fengwen lost confidence in guarding the entire island.

However, as the defense line in the northern mountains became more powerful, Yamashita Fengwen seemed to have found the rhythm of defense again, which began to give the United States a headache.

"Continue shelling in that direction! The ground attacking troops hit the Japanese defense line there, and there are quite a few forts!" Brigadier General Harding ordered.

He was an experienced artillery commander, and he led the most powerful artillery unit in the world - the American artillery unit was stronger than that of Germany.

The artillery unit of the First Army of the United States is equipped with a 155mm caliber howitzer, which is a powerful weapon of war.

In the face of this artillery threat, the Japanese had to give up their defensive positions little by little, retreated to the mountain defense line, and used anti-slope fortifications to resist strongly.

"As ordered! General!" After hearing the order, an officer immediately saluted and accepted, turned and walked out.

"How is the Japanese counterattack? I don't seem to have heard the news of their counterattack today!" Harding asked the staff around him while giving the order.

The other party quickly replied: "General! The Japanese artillery did not fight back today. It seems that there is indeed a problem with their ammunition supply!"

"Very good! As long as they have problems, it is good! This proves that we are not far from victory!" Harding said with a smile.

The U.S. offensive in New Guinea eventually turned into a battle of internal power consumption.

Both sides of the war are waiting for the other to make mistakes first, or to reveal their flaws in the current consumption.

Obviously, the Japanese army has revealed its own flaws, and its flaw is the lack of logistical supplies-the Japanese army's ammunition supply began to fail to keep up with the speed of consumption after just ten days of fighting.

"Look! Their artillery fire will only get less and less, because their logistical supplies can't keep up!" Harding keenly discovered the problem and gave his own speculation.

In fact, he guessed that it was almost inseparable. The Japanese army's heavy artillery and ammunition reserves were indeed somewhat insufficient. The Japanese army had to limit the number and intensity of artillery counterattacks to save their own ammunition reserves.

The transport of destroyers nicknamed the Tokyo Express did not relieve the supply pressure on the islands of New Guinea - but with the continuous consumption of the troops in the hands of Yamashita Fengwen, the pressure of logistics supply has been improved.

...

In Yamashita Fengwen's headquarters, this man sent the Japanese general nicknamed the Tiger of Malaya, his face was extremely ugly.

With his hands on the command knife, he sat in front of a huge map of New Guinea, looking thoughtfully at the strategic points on it.

The Americans were storming his northern mountain defenses, and his defenses were teetering in the face of the Americans.

Although he still held some tanks and some valuable reserves in his hand, he knew that it was impossible to defeat the US military by counterattack.

What he can do now is to put his precious reserve team into the defense line a little bit, and maintain the current state as much as possible.

"Your Excellency! The 300 officers and soldiers who have been rotated from the defense line have arrived at the temporary port to help unload the supplies delivered by the destroyer." An officer walked into the headquarters of Fengwen Yamashita and opened his mouth to report.

"Yo Xi!" Yamashita Fengwen nodded, replied softly, and then said, "Count all the supplies, start today, and concentrate the distribution!"

A large part of the previous materials were immediately distributed to various units, and distributed by the 29th and 35th and the 6th and third divisions.

But Yamashita Fengwen knew that in this situation, he could only maintain the supply of most of the army as much as possible, and ensure that as many troops as possible would not lose their combat effectiveness.

The 29th Division, which is standing in the east, faces the least pressure, so their supplies should be correspondingly less... On the contrary, the 6th Division has the heaviest defense burden, and should receive more supplements accordingly.

"Your Excellency! Major Tanaka please fight! I hope to lead the chariot troops to a decisive attack and regain the lost position!" Another officer walked in at this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said to Yamashita Fengwen.

When the Japanese counterattacked on the plains, almost all the tank troops were used. Most of these tank units were lost in the plains counterattack.

However, there were still two Leopard tanks and more than a dozen Type 97 chariots that retreated to the mountains with the Japanese army.

Some tanks were used as fixed turrets and stayed on the position as a defensive fulcrum, while others retreated to the rear, without any decent tasks.

Yamashita Fengwen did not intend to take the initiative to launch a counterattack, so these tanks have been idle for a long time, becoming an "existent force" that will do anything.

As the commander of this unit, Major Tanaka felt anxious when the battle situation became more and more unfavorable, and the idea of ​​broken jade in his heart became stronger and stronger.

This is the third time he has asked Yamashita Fengwen to fight, and he is willing to use a suicidal counterattack to help the Japanese army regain part of the defensive positions.

Although it is impossible to put a large number of tanks in the mountains, as long as one or two tanks are put in, it can form a local advantage and achieve some results.

Yamashita Fengwen, who was a little irritable in his heart, decided not to let Major Tanaka be a tortoise this time.

He looked at a small protrusion that was intended for the US military, and gave a stern order: "Let Major Tanaka come to my command! I want to give him a difficult task!"

"Hopefully, those remaining German tanks can surprise us..." Yamashita Fengwen whispered softly as he watched the messenger leave.
