Age of Rebirth

Major General Yamada, head of the General Staff Headquarters of the General Command of the Far East Campaign in Japan, is really troublesome. A few words at this time will undoubtedly win more political capital and provide advice for the commander-in-chief, Prince Zairen. I am afraid that the position of the chief of staff of his own headquarters is guaranteed.

Major General Yamada, who is used to seeing the wind and taking advantage of opportunities, racked his brains for a long time in the unbearable silence, and said: "Commander-in-Chief, the Ministry believes that the immediate priority should be to solve the problem as soon as possible. The stalemate in the Far East battlefield, the Soviet reinforcements are still more than a hundred kilometers away, this is our opportunity!"

Major General Yamada's experience and ability ended here, and he couldn't come up with any higher coups. Prince Zairen gave him a displeased look, and it was this one glance that made Major General Yamada shut up immediately. mouth.

In Prince Zairen's view, Yamada's words are pure nonsense. Could it be that he still can't see the key point of the current battle? He didn't say anything. Isn't this guy very strategic? , What's the matter today, first he hesitated, and now he said some nonsense, it seems that others still can't count on it, Prince Zairen walked back and forth in the office a few times.

Stopping, Prince Zairen said to Major General Yamada: "Mr. Yamada, convey my order. First, Lieutenant General Haruhiko, the commander of the rear guard group of the Far East Campaign, your department must ensure the smooth progress of the Far East Campaign and send the Soviet army back to aid. The troops are blocking the front line of the Nof Mountains. Second, attack all the troops of the Soviet Far East Front Army. The existing four attack directions remain unchanged, but the main attack is from the back and the front, and continuous attacks are launched around the clock. No need Concerned about the casualties of the troops, third, the troops on the two flanks of the Kukan Mountains and the Brea Mountains can reduce the attack intensity."

Prince Zairen is going to do his best. The Japanese Far East Dispatched Army and the North Korean Garrison are responsible for the frontal attack.It is the Japanese Kwantung Army troops who are responsible for the subsequent offensive missions, and they are also the main force of the Japanese Far East Campaign. This mission is the original mission for the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Garrison Army.There is nothing to say, but for the Kwantung Army, it was a fundamental change in mission.

The mission of the Japanese Kwantung Army was to prevent the Soviet army from jumping over the wall and attacking Manchuria.In the Far East campaign that focused on offense, it was the only unit that focused on defense. This is also the obvious goodwill expressed by Prince Zairen to the Kwantung Army. Let's rest the troops and take a breather, so.On the first day of the offensive, although the other three directions were fought fiercely, the Kwantung Army troops suffered no casualties.

However, the Kwantung Army had a good day, that is, after May 23, it was about to go into battle. From the actual situation, it was the same as if it hadn't rested.It will affect the combat awareness of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army. If it were not for the sudden change in the situation on the Far East battlefield, Prince Zairen would not have issued such an order.

After Major General Yamada and the staff officer withdrew, Prince Zai Ren was alone in the office, appearing to be in a bad mood.The two front armies of the Soviet Union really returned to aid Zhukov's troops, which definitely exceeded their own judgment and expectations. Although the various measures taken before were also aimed at this situation, once it became a reality, it would be difficult for them to think that they controlled the Far East. For him at the pace of the battle, it was still a big blow. [

After arriving in the Far East, for the first time, Prince Zairen was very worried about the final result of the Far East Campaign. The total strength of the three Soviet front armies combined far exceeded the strength of the Empire's troops in the Far East. It was an asymmetric encirclement and annihilation battle. If the Soviet army broke through the blockade of Haruyan's troops, the positions of the hunters and prey would be transferred immediately. Zhukov's army was a giant, and the other two Soviet troops were also giants. The combination of huge monsters is not something that Zairen's commanding force can compete with.

The most difficult thing is that the Imperial Army has already engaged in full-scale battle with the Soviet Far East Front Army. In the current battlefield situation, even if Prince Zairen wants to stop, it is impossible. He can only grit his teeth and fight. The most optimistic estimate is that Inflicting heavy damage on the Soviet Far East Front Army, the rear guard group in the blocking campaign may have lost all casualties. Then, the Imperial Army must withdraw from the battle, otherwise, it will be surrounded by the Soviets.

The big net that has been cast needs to be retracted. It is not an easy task. Such a foreseeable result made Prince Zairen extremely frustrated. He could not understand that the German attack was so ferocious that Stalin would order to rush back. Troops in the European battlefield returned to aid the Far East Front Army. At what point did the problem arise?

As the night darkened, Prince Zairen locked himself in his office. Even the delicious dinner that was usually delivered on time did not whet his appetite. He forced himself to sort out the Far East campaign plan from beginning to end. No matter what the problem, whether it was the deployment of the campaign or the judgment of the situation, there were no mistakes. The only change was the sudden move by the Chinese devil's troops on the line from Chita to Irkutsk.

"Damn the devil of China! It ruined my overall plan!" Prince Zairen cursed viciously, wishing to bite to death the Chinese who ruined his good deeds. Prince Zairen is very confident that he can face any opponent, including That Zhukov could predict the opponent's next move, and then take the first move. However, when facing the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, Prince Zairen's confidence was once again shattered.

He originally concluded that Stalin would not rescue the Far Eastern Front Army, so he started to lay down this big net. As a result, the development of the battle situation was completely contrary to his own judgment. Of course, this was mainly because of the Chinese devil. If it weren't for his troops to block the Soviet Outer Xing'an Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army on the line from Chita to Irkutsk for many days, then this great threat would have come.

"By the way, after the Soviet troops of the two front armies began to return to aid, the independent division troops on the line from Chita to Irkutsk should not miss such a good opportunity. Tang Qiuli fought behind the Soviet troops. Then, the Soviet army returning to aid will reduce the pressure on the battle rear group a lot, and even the Soviet army is busy dealing with the attack from behind, and it is impossible to come out to rescue Zhukov, isn't that great news! " Prince Zairen's heart was greatly moved. He felt that he was too pessimistic just now.

"Lingling!——ringing!" Prince Zairen pressed down the telegram fiercely, and a major staff officer responded and bowed humbly, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, what are your orders?"

Prince Zairen said eagerly: "Notify Major General Bai Chuan, the head of the intelligence department at the headquarters, to come see me right away!"

Not long after, the short and sturdy Major General Bai Chuan ran over out of breath, stood at attention and saluted, and said, "Commander-in-Chief, do you have any orders for summoning the Ministry?"

There was hope in Prince Zai Ren's eyes, and he asked, "Mr. Bai Chuan, your intelligence department probably already knows that the two Soviet front troops have begun to return to the Far East battlefield?"

Major General Bai Chuan lifted his spirits. His intelligence department agents did learn about this information, and it was more detailed than the intelligence department of the Far East Campaign Defender Group Command. Just now, he was sorting out this information in his office. I'm going to report to the prince personally, isn't this an opportunity!

Major General Bai Chuan sorted out his thoughts and said: "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the intelligence department has indeed learned about this information, and the staff department will report to you immediately. According to the information, the Soviet army unit closest to the rear guard group of the Imperial Far East Campaign, It is the vanguard of the Soviet Outer Khingan Mountains Front Army, and there are two group armies, their designation is No. 16...!" Major General Bai Chuan was proudly showing off his memory.

"That's enough! What I need to know is not these!" Suddenly, Prince Zai Ren broke off, interrupting Major General Bai Chuan's words impatiently.

"Huh—?" Major General Bai Chuan hurriedly shut up in astonishment, and looked at Prince Zairen in a daze. To be honest, he didn't know where he was wrong, and he could only blame it on His Royal Highness' recent anger and abnormal personality. . [

Prince Zairen also noticed his gaffe just now, and he can't blame himself for that. He listened to him talking about some important things in such a leisurely manner. What he wants to know most now is whether his judgment is correct, whether the troop of that devil is Taking advantage of the Soviet army's return to aid, they acted behind the Soviet army's back. This is a key issue related to the success or failure of the Far East campaign. It is normal to have a rough attitude.

"That--Mr. Baichuan, I know that your intelligence department has a lot of work. What I need to know now is that after the Soviet army began to return to Zhukov's troops, the independent division that has been on the line from Chita to Irkutsk Troops, what's the move?"

Major General Bai Chuan kept a low profile this time, and replied: "Commander-in-Chief, the troops of the Independent Division have already started to move!"

Prince Zai Ren's eyes were bright, and he rushed over with one step, almost facing Major General Bai Chuan's face, and asked anxiously: "Mr. Bai Chuan, quickly tell me, did the army of the Chinese devil attack the Soviet army?"

Major General Bai Chuan subconsciously leaned back, avoiding His Royal Highness as if he wanted to bite someone, "Commander-in-Chief, the situation is like this. After the Soviet Army started to return to aid, the troops of the Independent Division immediately followed the Soviet Army. It is also coming towards the Far East battlefield. At first, our agents also thought that the independent division troops would inevitably start attacking, but after careful reconnaissance, this is not the case!"

Prince Zairen's heart trembled nervously. He had a bad premonition. I'm afraid that what the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli did would blow his self-confidence and hope. He was also very annoyed by the long-winded words. This guy seemed to be trying to whet his appetite, and he shouted again: "Baga—speak to the point!"
