Age of Rebirth

General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, is definitely an experienced commander. He knows how to seize the opportunity. On the Soviet army's position, the winding fire dragon is rapidly spreading to both sides, standing in his position , you can clearly see that this is the only opportunity that Yokota created for the Kwantung Army. A series of rigorous and correct orders were issued in a hurry. A few minutes later, the guns of the Kwantung Army artillery group roared across the night sky. .

Crowds of cannons blasted out the flames on the Soviet positions, but they couldn't compare with the burning flames. "The sound of the cannons alarmed the Soviet army. I don't know if that Yokota can withdraw safely? It's a pity, a There are very talented young officers, and soldiers from the Forest Combat Team!" General Nanjiro thought regretfully that he didn't think Yokota would be able to retreat unscathed, sighed secretly, and turned his eyes back to the Soviet positions that were in flames. Under the reflection of the flames, a group of fast-moving figures appeared in his field of vision.

"Haney?—Captain of the guard, contact me right away to see if Yokota-kun has returned!" General Nanjiro ordered hastily. In his heart, there was a strong expectation. It was impossible for him to appear in his line of sight at this moment. It's the Soviet army, they are suffering from the burning fire.

Ten minutes later, Colonel Yokota, led by the captain of the guard, appeared in front of General Nanjiro, "Report to Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Yokota Maeyama, captain of the Kwantung Army's Forest Combat Team, and return to the team after completing the task!"

General Nanjiro stepped forward excitedly, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Yo Xi, Yokota-kun, you have done a good job, your military talent, I admire you, the Japanese Empire will remember your meritorious deeds, troops How about the casualties?" In his tone, there was not only appreciation, but also deep concern.

Colonel Yokota had a thin face, smoky black, with a few scars, and his snow combat uniform was torn in many places. The gloomy "color" in his eyes was still the same, but he brought a lot of excitement. Hearing The commander-in-chief was so concerned, he immediately touched his feet, gave a standard military salute, and replied: "All the forest combat team, thank you for the commander-in-chief's concern. In this operation, [-] people in the forest combat team were killed and one was injured. , It’s all due to the poor command of the department, so there will be such casualties, please punish your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!”

Yokota did not lie. None of the wounded soldiers of the Forest Combat Team was withdrawn. They all perished together with the Soviet soldiers in the raging fire. , However, going deeper, if those wounded soldiers are brought along, I am afraid that the forest combat team will be trapped, and one person will not be able to withdraw. For this, Yokota has no guilt at all. The soldiers of the Japanese Empire, There is the consciousness of dedicating oneself to His Majesty the Emperor at any time.

But Colonel Yokota had to ask for punishment. Before the operation started, he had promised the commander-in-chief that he would not hurt a single soldier. Now that there are no more than 100 people, he naturally has to give an explanation to General Nanjiro, although it is not his own. Something went wrong with the plan.

As soon as these words were uttered, General Nanjiro was very fond of him, "Yo Xi! It's rare, you can win without being arrogant or discouraged, Yokota-kun is an excellent emperor[***] official, I am here Observe, I have seen the whole process, there is a reason for everything, it is not your fault, Yokota-kun, take your subordinates back to rest, and leave the next thing to the infantry!" He praised repeatedly, but verbally, No promises. [

This made Colonel Yokota somewhat disappointed. He thought that he had made such a great contribution to the Kwantung Army. What happened, Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro should also give an explanation to the Forest Combat Team. Although he was disappointed in his heart, he did not dare to express it on his face He showed it, but he didn't have the mood to show off. After saluting, he took the remaining soldiers and walked to the rear.

General Nanjiro's eyes followed Yokota Colonel and his subordinates all the time, and he nodded slightly. He didn't make any promises just now. He just wanted to test Yokota Mae-zan's psychological quality. If he even showed any dissatisfaction, it would not be possible The material is too good to be reused. Now, I am very satisfied with this guy.

General Nanjiro beckoned to the chief of staff, and ordered: "Immediately, in the name of the headquarters, an order will be issued. The headquarters will be directly under the Forest Combat Team, and the rank will be upgraded to the wing level. It will be a unit directly under the commander-in-chief. It can have all the troops in the Kwantung Army." , the right to select team members, captain Yokota Maeyama, who also serves as the deputy commander of the search force, is responsible for full command during the war, this order must be issued to the first-level unit of the Kwantung Army brigade!"

This appointment, on the surface, Yokota's position has not been promoted in any way, but his power has been greatly increased. All units of the Kwantung Army have the right to select members, which means that from now on, the Forest Combat Team Within the Kwantung Army, the requirements put forward must be coordinated at all levels, people must be given to people, and equipment must be equipped. In comparison, the status of the mountain forest combat team before is pitiful.

Especially the troops directly under the commander-in-chief, it is tantamount to the private elite troops of General Nanjiro, which is a trump card. The troops belong to the brigade-level organizational system, which is similar to the surname of special operations troops. The commander of the unit is the rank of major general. Job, it's a matter of time!

On the way back to the garrison, Colonel Yokota, who was in a depressed mood, was still thinking about what the Commander-in-Chief said just now, although he was kind but not substantive. They all expressed great interest in the details, except for one thing. I remember that His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief said: "After the successful sneak attack of the Mountain Forest Combat Team, why do we need a fire attack, let the infantry follow up, and occupy the commanding heights is not more direct way?"

At that time, I answered like this, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, absolutely not. The combat quality of the infantry is not comparable to that of my team members. The terrain conditions of the commanding heights of the Soviet army position itself limit the use of large-scale troops. If According to your idea, you can only alarm the Soviet defenders, and this plan will definitely fail!"

I am so unabashedly direct, probably, it may make His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief feel uncomfortable. It seems that the chance of the Forest Combat Team to turn around was once again ruined by his bad temper. Colonel still doesn't know that there is a big surprise waiting for him. Because of a gambling-like adventure, he fell into the eyes of General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. up!

The gloomy and extremely frustrated Colonel Yokota, when he returned to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, he would find that a brand new letter of appointment had sent him to a brand new stage, but what he didn't know was that the Kwantung Army chief The commander, General Nanjiro, has already regarded the Forest Combat Team as his secret weapon. The target is not the Soviet army that is about to completely withdraw from the Far East, but the number one mortal enemy of the Japanese Empire——Tang Qiuli's reading power Division troops.

The artillery group of the Kwantung Army launched a crazily bombardment, blasting out a sea of ​​flames on the left and right wings and in the depth of the breach filled with flames, and the Soviet defenders in this area had been engulfed by the fire ignited by gasoline. , Boxes of cannons exploded, and the rumbling noise was even comparable to the shelling of the Kwantung Army's artillery group. The commanding heights of several square kilometers were like surging magma, and from time to time, clusters of flames rose into the sky.

In the midst of the rumbling cannons, the two main divisions of the Kwantung Army, with tens of thousands of soldiers, struggled along the icy slope towards the flaming breakthrough. General Nanjiro couldn't wait for the shelling to stop. Although it is safer that way, in order to prevent the attacking troops from being accidentally injured by their own artillery fire.

More than an hour later, General Nanjiro, who had returned to the headquarters, received a telegram from Lieutenant General Asamizu Aoki, the commander of the [-]th Division, who had seized the breakthrough. Standing on that commanding height, and attacking the two wings, expanding the breakthrough, the other alliances are also consolidating the breakthrough!"

"Yoshi!" General Nanjiro yelled excitedly, "Guard, let the kitchen get something, don't forget, where are those bottles of sake!" He ordered a guard, apparently, in Nanjiro From the general's point of view, if Zhukov's ice and snow defense line is lost, it means that it will be broken through the whole line. Next, it will continue to attack in depth. That is another battle. Can't live.

The three troops launched attacks one after another. Perhaps, no, it is very likely that the Kwantung Army troops made a substantial breakthrough, "That guy Yokota made a great achievement for the Kwantung Army!" He thought with emotion, just because of this It is also worth a few cups of Xiaozu!

After thinking for a while, General Nanjiro called: "Communication staff officer, immediately report the news that the Kwantung Army broke through the Soviet Army's first line of defense to His Royal Highness Prince Zaihito, Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Campaign!" [

In the shelter of the Soviet Far Eastern Front Command, the commander, General Zhukov, stood in front of the lookout hole and held up a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield. The flames from the explosion of the cannon reflected the dark night sky red. This time, the Japanese army had an unusual night. The attack was more violent and crazier than the daytime one. At first, Zhukov did not understand the Japanese commander's approach, and the attacking battle at night was absolutely unfavorable to the attacking side.

Up to now, General Zhukov has a little understanding. It must be from the line from Chita to Irkutsk that the troops from the Outer Xing'an Mountains Front Army and the Lake Baikal Front Army returned to aid, which put great pressure on the Japanese army. The attack at night was to deal with the Far East Army first, and then turn around to deal with the reinforcements.

"Hmph!" General Zhukov sneered, "It's so easy!" He thought to himself.
