Age of Rebirth

The war in the southern part of Outer Mongolia is about to break out. Hundreds of thousands of ul divisions are ready to fight. More than 100 million Soviet troops rush forward day and night. More than 200 million soldiers from both sides are destined to collide fiercely on the front line of Saiyinshan!

This is the first time in Tang Qiuli's nearly ten-year combat career that he has used so many troops to engage in a head-on confrontation with his opponent on a line of defense that cannot be lost. Saiyin Shanda battlefield is bound to be fought Flesh and flesh flew everywhere, corpses littered the field, and blood stained the grasslands and Gobi in southern Mongolia.

This style of play completely violated Tang Qiuli's consistent combat principles. When fighting against the Japanese, British, and Soviet troops, his tactics were basically ambushes, concentrating superior forces, and turning rounds. Outflanking, splitting or encircling, head-to-head battles were fought for the first time, but he had to fight in this way. In a sense, he was forced by Stalin to adopt this method of fighting.

Saiyinshanda's strategic position is too important. Once lost, more than 100 million Soviet troops will come to the border of Inner Mongolia. They can attack any point on the long border at any time. The flames of war will burn to China. This is Tang Qiuli's decision Things that are not allowed to happen!

The Saiyinshanda battlefield is in a state of imminent triggering, while on the battlefield of the Xing'an Mountains outside the Far East, more than 450 million Soviet troops and more than 180 million Japanese Kwantung Army are fighting inextricably. However, from the overall situation, the Japanese The Kwantung Army was at a disadvantage, and the defensive circle was constantly being oppressed by the superior Soviet army. If the situation continued like this, it was only a matter of time before the entire Kwantung Army was wiped out. [

The headquarters of the r army was also aware of the seriousness of the problem. After the Emperor Hirohito's military meeting ended, Prince Zaihito, chief of the general staff of the headquarters, and one or two ministers of the army Minai Koichi gave orders to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro. "With the imperial approval of His Majesty the Emperor, all Kwantung Army troops on the outer Xing'an Mountains should immediately withdraw from the battlefield and retreat to the territory of Manchuria. The retreat must be rapid and must not be delayed, otherwise, the situation is in danger!"

General Nanjiro, who received the order, immediately started preparing for the retreat. The order from the base camp was timely for more than 180 million Kwantung Army soldiers. Facing the three-way attack of more than 400 million Soviet troops, even Nanjiro He was brave and good at fighting, but he was also beaten and complained. He struggled to support him. On the first day of the battle, he lost more than 7 people. However, the losses of the Soviet Army were more than those of the Kwantung Army.

But Nanjiro didn't feel relaxed at all. With such a hard work, even if one Kwantung Army soldier exchanged the lives of two Soviet soldiers, the Kwantung Army would be wiped out in the end. It was all gone, and there were 70 million people left in the Soviet army. Fortunately, the order from the base camp came. General Nanjiro issued a specific route map for the retreat to all the troops on the day he received the retreat order.

The various armies of the Kwantung Army covered alternately, passed through the plains between the Buleya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains, then crossed the Heilongjiang River from Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, retreated into the territory of Heilongjiang, and then entered the territory of Heilongjiang first. The Kwantung Army troops formed a line of defense to block the Soviet army chasing after them.

General Nanjiro's retreat plan is very thoughtful. The plain between the Brea Mountains and the Kukan Mountains is more than 180 kilometers wide, enough to accommodate more than [-] million troops. It is limited, and more troops cannot be deployed at the same time, which is also convenient for the Kwantung Army to carry out layer-by-layer blocking.

If the Soviet army wants to outflank and block the Kwantung Army's back route, they have to bypass the Brea Mountains and the Kukan Mountains. Half a month is not enough time. The most important thing is that in the Brea The plains between the mountains and the Kukan Mountains are mostly shallow swamps, where infantry and artillery dragged by mules and horses can easily pass through. Tanks, cars, and armored vehicles are basically difficult to move, and they are definitely the best way to get rid of the Soviet pursuit. good line.

The most important thing is that the two main throats entering Manchuria, Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, are just at the southern exit of the plain between the two mountains. Lieutenant General Inoue Nakayoshi, Commander of the Fifth Army of the Army, and Lieutenant General Sakata Shingoro, Commander of the Seventh Army, issued a death order, "At this time when the Kwantung Army is in danger, the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army must sacrifice their lives at all costs." The spirit of Yusha, defend Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk."

"This is the key to whether the more than one million soldiers of our Kwantung Army can safely retreat to Manchuria. If there is a loss in the two places, then I, Inoue-kun, and Sakata-kun are all sinners of the Great R-Ben Empire. Please, please In addition, I have ordered all the Kwantung Army's local police reserves in the northern part of Heilongjiang, with a total of more than [-] people, to immediately go to Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk to assist Inoue-kun and Sakata-kun in defense."

On the night of April [-], the units of the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Army who were fighting suddenly left the battlefield and retreated south. Such a large-scale retreat was not noticed by the Soviet Army overnight. The quality of the Kwantung Army soldiers can be seen , When the morning sun on April [-]rd illuminated the land of the Far East again, the Soviet commanders found that the opponent who had been fighting all day had disappeared, and there was no one on the opposite position.

The situation was quickly reported to the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army in the Far East, General Zhukov, the commander and political commissar of the Far East Front Army. It can be seen that the route that the Kwantung Army must take to retreat is in the plain between the Brea Mountains and the Kukan Mountains.

Immediately, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army in the Far East, Zhukov ordered General Kilganin's Outer Xing'anling Front Army, the remaining troops of the Outer Mongolia Front Army, and his own Far East Front Army's troops to immediately advance lightly, throwing off all supplies and supplies. Heavily equipped and pursued across the board, nearly 400 million Soviet soldiers spread their feet and chased southward like a gust of hoarse water.

It is impossible for Zhukov to be stupid enough to ignore an important issue. While ordering the troops to pursue, he also ordered General Gregarif, the commander of the Baikal Front Army who led more than 180 troops to storm Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, must Before April [-]th, they captured Bizhan and Khabarovsk, blocked the passage for the Kwantung Army to retreat to the south, and formed a trend of closing doors and beating dogs. In the Far East, more than [-] million Kwantung Army soldiers were buried!

The orders from the headquarters of the R Army were issued quickly. After receiving the second emergency telegram from the Kwantung Army, they made a decision. Within a short period of time, the retreat deployment was completed, and the best retreat route was found, which can be called a general. All the factors added together, it seems that the Kwantung Army can get rid of the fate of being encircled by more than 400 million Soviet troops. It seems that it is not a problem?

An unprecedented retreat has begun. The main force of the Kwantung Army has always maintained a distance of half a day from the pursuing Soviet army. Together with the blocking troops left by Nanjiro, they all fought desperately to defeat the pursuing Soviet army. The Soviet army caused great trouble. A r army division with no more than 2 people was able to block the vanguard of several million Soviet troops for an hour or two. How many divisions, the pursuing Soviet army and the retreating Kanto army The distance between the armies is getting bigger and bigger.

The Kwantung Army seemed to be able to get rid of the fate of being encircled. General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, relaxed his tense heart a little bit. Running away from the Kwantung Army, not only cannot explain to Comrade Stalin, but also face millions of Soviet soldiers!

This kind of game of chasing and being chased seems to continue like this until the Kwantung Army has all entered Manchuria, and the content of the game will not change. God's fortune!" The form is better than people, and the changes on the battlefield came from the two battlefields of Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk. Astonishing news came that the fifth and seventh armies of the Kwantung Army finally ended up with the death of all jade pieces. The price did not prevent the Soviet army from occupying the two places.

At dawn on April 20th, General Gregarif, commander of the Soviet Baikal Front Army, called General Zhukov, Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Region, "Comrade Zhukov, after three days and nights of fierce fighting, our Baikal Front Army troops have occupied Birobidzhan, Haba In Rovsk, the Kwantung Army’s two armies with [-] troops were wiped out, and now, I am following your order to build a blocking line in the south of the plains of the Brea Mountains and the Kukan Mountains.”

"I am confident that blocking the main force of the Kwantung Army here in the plains for more than five days is enough to wipe out the Kwantung Army here!"

Desperately defending Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, and opening a gap for the main force of the Kwantung Army, the fifth and seventh armies of the Japanese Kwantung Army fought fiercely. The soldiers of the R army showed their Bushido spirit, Even with the inferior force, he repeatedly launched a white-blade charge against the surrounded Soviet army. The soldiers of the Japanese army in the regiment braved the intensive artillery fire of the Soviet army and charged up without fear of death. The courage is commendable, but the style of play is extremely stupid! [

If the R army relies on the solid fortifications that have been in operation for two years to defend, even if the Soviet army can finally capture Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, it will take at least ten days, and the casualties paid , would be an astonishing number, and ten days later, the main force of the Miyakanto Army led by General Nanjiro had already reached the territory of Manchuria, and the two key points, Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, had already lost what had to be captured significance.

The Fifth Army and Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army will not be completely wiped out, and the remaining troops will be withdrawn to Manchuria. Lieutenant General Nakayoshi Inoue, Commander of the Fifth Army, and Lieutenant General Sakata Shingoro, Commander of the Seventh Army, agreed He made the choice, thinking that the style of play that best embodies the Bushido spirit of the Great R Japan Empire is doomed to tragedy!
