Age of Rebirth

General Zhukov, the commander of the Soviet Far East Front Army and the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army in the Eastern Region, is now focusing all his attention on the situation that the two front armies that had withdrawn earlier were intercepted by independent divisions in the direction from Chita to Irkutsk Actually, at the same time, he was also considering the retreat of the Far Eastern Front Army. However, Zhukov did not expect that on this complicated night, there was an invisible and fatal danger quietly approaching the Far Eastern Front Army!

At night, in Delun, southern Outer Mongolia, at the Temporary Headquarters of the Independent Division, Zhao Yuhe, the chief of staff of the Division Command, took a telegram and walked into the room of the division commander Tang Qiuli, "Teacher, I received a telegram from Deputy Commander Liu. Refers to the troops of the North China Field Corps, on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, and the two retreating Soviet front army vanguards, exchanged fire at multiple locations. However, we still took advantage of it and fought an ambush !” He said happily.

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli put down the telegram in his hand, and responded lightly. He was not very surprised, a little surprised, but it was also expected. Liu Tiehan commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and Chen Bing and Chita went to Ierku. It is impossible to hide from the Soviet army for a long time on the front line of Cisk. It will be a matter of time before they meet and fight each other, but it will be soon!

Zhao Yuhe glanced at the division commander, then pulled out another telegram, and said, "Master, Deputy Division Commander Liu specially called to explain the reason why the battle with the Soviet army occurred earlier than expected. Since then, the exchange of fire has occurred because of the Soviet The vanguard of the army, with its main force about 180 kilometers ahead, is advancing extremely fast, and has the intention of occupying the key points along the way first, so it has no choice but to order the troops to annihilate it, hoping that it will not affect the overall strategic deployment of the division commander!"

Tang Qiuli laughed.Said: "Yuhe, call back Deputy Commander Liu, brother Tiehan, you and I have expected to fight the Soviet army. Any impact on the overall situation of the battle is not a matter of three or five days in advance, but there is one thing to pay attention to. After the position of the troops commanded by Brother Tiehan was exposed, the Soviet army learned that our army intends to intercept their withdrawal, and in order to save time, they will inevitably attack our troops with heavy troops!"

"Therefore. Our troops on the line from Chita to Irkutsk must be prepared to get out of the way at any time to avoid a head-on confrontation with the superior Soviet army. This is the style of play we have adopted in the Far East battlefield. The Soviet army It will take two or three days to gather heavy troops to open the passage. The attack can only begin. During this period, brother can make some adjustments to the deployment of the troops. Brother Tiehan already knows the specific plan. I won’t repeat it here. !

"The only thing I'm worried about is my brother's bravery. He is famous in the whole army, and he must be on the front line in every battle. I am very worried about this. Between Zhou Xuan and more than two million Soviet troops, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. Brother Tiehan should pay attention to his own safety, and in addition, it is suggested that Brother Tiehan's headquarters can be set up in the area west of Chita to coordinate and command the overall situation for safety reasons!"

Zhao Yuhe asked a staff officer to send a telegram. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. All the troops were moving according to the predetermined plan. As the chief of staff, he seemed to have something to do right now.

At this time, Tang Qiuli let out a long sigh, and said with a bit of self-deprecation: "Yuhe, I'm not very comfortable. Our troops on the front line of Chita and Irkutsk fought against the Soviet army ahead of the Japanese army. In this way, objectively, Zhukov’s attention will be attracted to us as a cover for the Japanese army’s encirclement of the Soviet Far Eastern Front’s troops!”[

"Inexplicably became the thugs of the Japanese. Let the Japanese take advantage of it. It's uncomfortable—it's really uncomfortable! Who would have expected that the vanguard of the Soviet army would dare to advance the main force for more than a hundred kilometers. Definite number!" He said while shaking his head, very unwilling.

Zhao Yuhe wanted to laugh, but held it back. This was the first time he saw the annoyed look of the teacher who had suffered a big loss, "Our intentions have been exposed. Zhukov is a very vigilant person, and it may speed up the Far East because of this." The rhythm of the front army’s escape from the Far East, if the Japanese army concealed and outflanked the passing troops and did not speed up, the Japanese attempt to encircle the Soviet Far East Front Army would probably fail, and the Kwantung Army’s life-and-death entanglement, Zhukov would also be aware of the strangeness!” He continued.

Zhao Yuhe had a different opinion, "Master, your analysis is good, but I think that even if Zhukov is aware of this, it is not easy for the Soviet Far East Front Army to escape from the battlefield with more than one million people. At the very least, It is also necessary to resolve the entanglement of the Kwantung Army, so I can be sure that the Japanese still have a great chance, but our troops will start on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, which will affect the rhythm of the Japanese!"

Tang Qiuli thought about it for a while, and then he was relieved, "However, in this way, Emperor Hirohito may be scolding his mother, and he must be scolding me!"

Emperor Hirohito, who was far away in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan, had no idea at all that the situation in the Far East had changed overnight, but in Khabarovsk, Prince Zaihito, who secretly set up the Far East Campaign Command, received this After the information, he was startled at first, his brows were furrowed, his slender eyes gleamed with unpredictable light, and he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

A group of high-ranking Japanese military officers with shining generals stood on both sides with their hands down, looking at their officers calmly. They all knew what kind of plans this scheming Prince had in mind.

"Yo Xi! ——Great!" Zai Ren suddenly stopped, and suddenly said something. The Japanese officers were all stunned. They wondered why His Royal Highness, who had been going back and forth more than a dozen times, Such a sentence popped up out of nowhere?

With a glance of Prince Zairen's eyes, he knew that these officers were still like ducks listening to thunder, dizzy, and didn't understand what he meant at all. Originally, with Prince Zairen's personality and arrogance, he would not ask these officers , to explain, the more than one million Imperial Japanese Army troops in the Far East, it is enough to have a smart head, and the others, as long as they follow the order, they will do their duty!

But Prince Zairen is obviously in a very good mood now, so he wanted to show off a few words, "Your gentlemen, are you surprised? Why do I call it good?" Fighting against the retreating Soviet army on the front line of Tower and Irkutsk is of great help to our military operations in the Far East. The Chinese people have unknowingly become pawns to cover the actions of our Imperial Japanese Army! "He said concisely, and with a little smug expression on his face.

Seeing a group of senior military officers, the look in their eyes was still a little dazed, obviously not following his own train of thought, a trace of contempt flashed across the corner of Prince Zairen's mouth, but it quickly faded away, "It's nothing mysterious, just say , the attention of the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army, Zhukov, was attracted by the actions of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops. What he thinks now is how to break through the blocking of the Chinese troops as soon as possible. I have no time to take care of my actions! So, that China devil Tang Qiuli has become my pawn!"

"Hahaha!" Prince Zairen laughed out loud, maybe because he felt that he could finally get rid of his deadly enemy Tang Qiuli, and he felt very comfortable. After many years, the imperial army of the Japanese Empire would not be able to fight against that China devil Tang Qiuli. After taking advantage of it, now, it is finally possible to win the round. Let me ask, among the famous generals of the Japanese Empire, which one can do it?

Only then did the officers of the Japanese army suddenly realize that they all looked at Prince Zairen with admiration. It wasn't that these senior officers had their heads flooded, or they were idiots. Under normal circumstances, anyone would think of this. However, what happened to Tang Qiuli, the sworn enemy of the Great Japanese Empire, was a bit unbelievable. Who would have thought that that sworn enemy of the empire would cooperate tacitly with the imperial army?

Inexplicably, it became a pawn in the battle situation. I am afraid that Amaterasu and His Majesty have reported it. That is why they have absolute admiration for Prince Zairen. Just as he was about to flatter him, suddenly, "Ugh!", Prince Zairen's laughter stopped abruptly, like a duck whose neck was trampled.

Immediately, Prince Zairen's expression became extremely ugly, and he cursed angrily, "Baga—damn the devil of China, he ruined my overall plan, damn it!" In the middle, all of them short-circuited their heads and stared at the enraged Prince Zairen in dumbfounded.

They all muttered in their hearts at the same time, "Your Highness is too moody, isn't he? A dog? You can change your face very quickly. Just now, you laughed triumphantly, and in the blink of an eye, you flew into a rage again. There was a gust of wind and a gust of rain, isn't it?" Stimulate the nerves of the big guys? Just this way of thinking, typical schizophrenia, we are willing to bow down and can't keep up!" [

They were happy before, and everyone knew in their hearts that it was because they used that China devil as a pawn to cover the actions of the Imperial Japanese Army and encircle the Soviet Far East Front Army, but this sudden rage and gnashing of teeth.He cursed viciously again, and for what?This time I really don't know!

Zai Ren no longer had the leisure to show off and explain. He suddenly thought of a possibility, no, not a possibility, but a certainty. Conquering the front line, he was intercepted by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops, how would he react?

The biggest possibility is to speed up the escape from the Far East battlefield. The reason is very simple. After the two front armies that evacuated earlier broke through the obstruction of the independent division, they must have no time to turn back or wait for the Far East front army. In this way, Zhukov’s troops, wouldn’t they It became a lone army, so what Zhukov had to do immediately was to join up with the other two front armies of the Soviet Union immediately.
