Age of Rebirth

General Gregarif, the commander of the Soviet Baikal Front Army, captured Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk at the cost of more than 100 casualties, and built a tight blocking line. More than [-] million Kwantung Army retreated to Manchuria The channel was completely cut off.

All of this is due to Lieutenant General Inoue Nakayoshi, commander of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army, and Lieutenant General Sakata Shingoro, commander of the Seventh Army, adopted a stupid style of play, which led to serious consequences, not only more than two hundred thousand days The soldiers of the Kwantung Army died on the battlefield, and General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, lost the opportunity to break out of the siege created by all his efforts!

I don't know what Lieutenant General Inoue Nakayoshi and Lieutenant General Sakata Shingoro, who have become one of the tens of thousands of corpses, are thinking. If they rely on the fortifications that have been in operation for two years, they will open a road for the main force of the Kwantung Army. Mouth is not difficult.

However, in order to demonstrate the samurai spirit of the Great Japanese Empire, the active attack method, facing the overwhelming artillery fire of the Soviet army, is undoubtedly the most stupid decision. Inoue and Sakata have a lot of background. He held an important position at the level of deputy chief in the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp. He has always been pampered and full of theories. He has no experience in fighting the Soviet army, and he has an inexplicable sense of superiority!

Apparently, the two lieutenant generals were the favorite students of a certain boss in the base camp, and they came to the Kwantung Army for gilding. , put it on the second line, and the Fifth Army and Seventh Army are at best second-rate troops in the Kwantung Army's combat sequence. [

Immediately, General Minamijiro regretted his decision so much that he almost committed suicide by caesarean section. When he learned that Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk had fallen, he had already been ripped off by hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops. Minamijiro The general's eyes were darkened, he staggered and almost fell to the ground, his eyes, and he said nervously: "Why is this happening? Two 10,000+ troops, relying on solid fortifications, can't last for three days. Why?"

Nanjiro can be regarded as a ruthless man. He knows very well that the Kwantung Army will not be able to retreat back to Manchuria smoothly. There will be several million Soviet troops chasing after them. It is only two days away. There are hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in front of them. Blocking the way of retreat, even if you fight for casualties and kill the blood, it will take at least three to five days. The main force of the Soviet army chasing after them has already caught up, and they still can't get out of the situation.

Nanjiro understands better that there must be no panic at this moment, otherwise, the morale of the army will be shaken, and everyone will be finished. What needs to be done before him is to boost morale, stay where he is and wait for reinforcements, and send elite troops to block the attack continuously. The retreating Soviet army persisted until the arrival of local reinforcements.

After hearing the news of the fall of Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, Minamijiro held a meeting of all army commanders in a cave on the battlefield where gunfire was constantly ringing.

General Nanjiro's face was ashen, with stubble all over his face. He seemed to have aged ten years in just one hour. Facing nearly a hundred senior officers above the general level, he was cut off by the Soviet army. The dangerous situation facing the army, without concealment, said hoarsely: "Masters, a very unfortunate news, Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk fell, the current battle situation is very unfavorable for our Kwantung Army , There are millions of Soviet troops chasing after, and hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops intercepting before!"

"We are now facing enemies from both sides, but we are not in a desperate situation. The width between the Brea Mountains and the Kukan Mountains is only more than 80 kilometers, which is not conducive to the large-scale deployment of the Soviet army. Moreover, the shallow water swamps all over the place are severely restricted. The speed of the mechanized troops and heavy equipment of the Soviet army was greatly reduced, that is to say, the lightly armed infantry of the Soviet army came after them, although they were numerous, their firepower was not strong!"

"This is our opportunity. Without heavy equipment to provide fire support, our Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the Imperial Japanese Army, is not afraid of any enemy. Our warriors can use bayonets to destroy any enemy! Let the Soviet soldiers Let's cover the valley with dead bodies!" General Nanjiro's eyes shone fiercely.

Inoue Nakatake and Sakata Shingoro both also adopted the style of charge with white blades. As a result, the entire army was wiped out and lost their positions. Now, facing the pursuing Soviet army, General Minamijiro also uses bayonets to speak. It seems to be repeating the same mistakes, but From time to time, the swamp left the heavy equipment of the pursuing Soviet army behind the battlefield. At this time, the bayonet had an extraordinary meaning.

Moreover, doing so can even arouse the fierceness in the Japanese soldiers' hearts, and they will risk their lives. At critical times, the morale of the troops plays a decisive role. The white-bladed charge carried out is not the same, and the difference between the superior and the inferior is doubtful. General Nanjiro is an extremely good commander. Although this style of play has the mentality of a gambler, but if you don’t gamble, Lose even worse!

General Nanjiro suddenly stood up, and all the senior officers of the Japanese army stood up in unison, "Masters, it's time for us to fight for His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire!" He almost roared road.

Next, I will carry out combat deployment, "Order, the First Army, Third Army, Fourth Army, and Sixth Army immediately attack the Soviet army occupying Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, at any cost, Launch attacks day and night, trying to open the gap, and the rest of the troops immediately build fortifications on the spot to block the Soviet army chasing after them. Gentlemen, this is a life-and-death battle for our Kwantung Army. Only by fighting hard can we have a chance of survival. , the base camp will have a way to reinforce us, please gentlemen!"

After finishing speaking, General Nanjiro bowed deeply to all the Japanese army officers, his tone was a little choked up, and the careful Japanese army officers also found that their commander-in-chief, His Excellency, had tears in his eyes.

All the officers of the Japanese army who participated in the meeting, covered in blood, and their "puffy" ones were ignited, roared together: "Serve His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire, fight to the death! - Fight to the death!"

The Japanese military officers who participated in the meeting rushed back to their respective units with full of desperate thoughts, and the cave became quiet. General Nanjiro's whole body strength seemed to be taken away, and he collapsed limply on the cold and damp On the ground, as long as he knows in his heart what kind of dangerous situation the Kwantung Army is facing, that old opponent Zhukov who has been entangled with him for two years will not wait for reinforcements and a chance to break through. The Kwantung Army will be destroyed. .

After fighting with Zhukov for more than two years, General Nanjiro knew very well that Zhukov was a formidable opponent. Moreover, both of them were familiar with each other's tactics, and any tricks would have no effect. It can only be said that there was a lot of luck involved in winning the one-night time, but the little chance of winning was ruined by two stupid idiots, Inoue and Sakata!

The rest is a competition of strength. I don’t have Zhukov’s capital, how many days can the Kwantung Army last, ten days—?Half a month——?Or it may take longer, unless there is a miraculous turning point, otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out in the end. Everything I have done is not waiting for an almost very slim turning point. Controlled dripping.

For a moment, General Nanjiro felt hopeless. However, he quickly adjusted his emotions, wiped away his tears, and restored the image of the resolute and ruthless commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. Report to the base camp, and ask the base camp to discuss what method to use, and send reinforcements, otherwise, the Kwantung Army will end in jeopardy. If you sit back and watch all the more than 100 million Kwantung Army soldiers die, the base camp will be the sinner of the Japanese Empire. Caesarean "suicide" to thank the people of the country!"

The communications officer turned pale with shock. Could it be that the Commander-in-Chief is out of his mind? The base camp is a towering behemoth, representing the will of His Majesty the Emperor. Come on, what's the matter, Commander-in-Chief?

The communication officer reminded with a pale face, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please think twice!" [

General Nanjiro was furious, and roared, "Baga!" Then a big mouth fanned him, beating the communication officer until his mouth was covered with blood, "Baga! It's not your turn to point fingers, so I'll post the original text! "

General Zhukov, who commanded the three fronts of the Soviet Union in the Far East, has never underestimated the more than one million Kwantung Army, let alone General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. General Kilganin, the commander, and General Gregarif, the commander of the Baikal Front Army, are completely different in this regard. The two are full of optimism and confidence in fighting the Kwantung Army.

On the Outer Xing'an Mountains, soldiers fought against soldiers and generals for two years. They fought each other almost all the time, each with their own schemes and means, each winning or losing. They all wanted to put each other to death, but there was nothing they could do. , in terms of the overall situation, Zhukov is still at a disadvantage, although it is not obvious.

But a disadvantage is a disadvantage, and Zhukov himself does not evade this point. The Far East Army under his command has a strength of more than 230 million, and the Kwantung Army has a strength of more than 180 million, a difference of more than [-]. There is also a gap in weapons and equipment. It can be said that I have a clear advantage, but in this way, it took two years of fighting to form a stalemate on the front line of the Outer Xing'an Mountains.

As for recovering the Far East, it is just an idea. Without Comrade Stalin, Zhukov almost thought that he would not know that he had spent several years with the Kwantung Army in the large-scale deployment of troops in the Far East. Thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers were locked in cages, but Zhukov became more cautious.
