Age of Rebirth

The suggestion of Major General Iijima, Director of the Intelligence Department of the Japanese Far East Campaign Defender Group Headquarters, is also quick and quick. At the division level, there is a search force establishment, which is responsible for some special tasks such as reconnaissance, infiltration, and destruction, which is the prototype of special forces.

If calculated in this way, the entire battle rear group consists of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the number of search troops may reach tens of thousands. Therefore, Major General Iijima said: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is no need to worry about the lack of troops to implement the plan. The ministry suggests that in addition to the three search brigades directly under the Ministry of Intelligence, a certain number of search troops can also be dispatched from each division to carry out your plan!"

"Yo Xi!" Lieutenant General Haruhiko yelled happily, and the problem that troubled him was easily solved, "Iijima-kun, I will leave this plan to you to implement, but remember one thing, the main purpose of the surprise attack here is to Destroying the artillery positions of the Soviet Army, other than that, everything else is secondary, it must be strictly organized and carefully planned, within three days, I want to see the results of the operation!" He explained seriously.

Lieutenant General Haruhiko was good at proposing the idea of ​​destroying Soviet artillery positions. When it comes to specific implementation, Lieutenant General Haruhiko was self-aware. Compared with the rude farmer-like Major General Iijima in front of him, he was far behind. This guy Iijima is born to engage in intelligence, and his skills here are very good.

Major General Iijima accepted the task without humility, which was also his duty, "Your Excellency, without further delay, I will immediately organize the assembly of the sneak attack troops. Within two hours, the specific plan of the operation will be announced." It will be delivered to you, and after three hours, the first batch of troops will be able to leave, maybe you don’t need to wait for three days, and you will hear the good news before ten o’clock tomorrow night at the latest!” He said confidently .

"Iijima-kun, please! I will entrust the safety of hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers in the rear guard group to Iijima-kun!" Lieutenant General Haruhiko said with his eyes flickering. After speaking, he got up and bowed deeply to Major General Iijima. , The tone is sincere and sincere.

On the same night in the Far East battlefield, General Zhukov, the commander of the Soviet Far East Front Army, stared blankly at the outside of the bunker, half of the sky was reddened by artillery fire, and he didn't turn around for a long time. The staff in the bunker were also silent, only the radio station The ticking sound, monotonous and repetitive, disturbs people's mind.

Lieutenant General Godayav, chief of staff of the Far Eastern Front, silently looked at the back of Comrade Commander. He knew that Zhukov was in a very bad mood at the moment. Comrades know.

Chief of Staff Godayav deliberated for a while, then chose to say: "Comrade Commander, the development of the war situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to us. Collapsed, all day today, in the face of the attack of the Japanese army, the casualties of the troops exceeded any day, especially the southern battlefield defended by the No.15, No.16, and No.19 armies, facing the fierce attack of the Kwantung Army, they lost many places! "[

Zhukov's back trembled undetectably, but he didn't turn his head. Chief of Staff Godayav continued: "As far as the current battlefield situation is concerned, the most urgent and dangerous is the south direction. However, the other three This direction is not optimistic. Under the great pressure of the Japanese army, they fought repeatedly with the Japanese army in several key areas. The troops suffered heavy casualties, but they were unable to repel the Japanese army. Comrade Commander..." His tone was very Heavy, can't go on.

Zhukov turned around. Under the dim light, his face was frighteningly haggard. In fact, since the Japanese army completed the encirclement and began to attack, he had hardly any time to close his eyes. It can stop the Japanese army from attacking for a while, but it cannot be effective forever, because the weather is an invincible enemy.

According to Zhukov's prediction, before the weather gets warmer, use the ice and snow defense line to stick to it for about ten days, and the Waixinganling Front Army and Lake Baikal Front Army returning to aid will rush to the Far East battlefield. At that time, your troops will come to the center Blooming, it is not necessarily known that the Japanese army that encircled and besieged itself, therefore, all the defense plans of the Far East Front Army were designed and carried out around this basis.

However, as the Japanese army's offensive became more and more fierce, especially the first position in the southern direction, it was broken by the Japanese Kwantung Army in less than three days, which was beyond Zhukov's expectations. In addition, according to the defense plan, the first position should be held for at least five days. At that time, without the Japanese attacking, Zhukov would also order all the troops of the Far Eastern Front to withdraw to the second line of defense.

The sudden change disrupted Zhukov's steady defense, gradually retreating, sticking to the plan of waiting for reinforcements, and abandoning the first line of defense was not proactive. If he did not withdraw the troops on the first line of defense decisively, he would be punished The Japanese army divided and surrounded them, and devoured them bit by bit.

Despite being passive, Zhukov still has enough confidence to persist until the arrival of reinforcements. However, the facts of the situation gave this famous Soviet general a series of blows. It only took five or six days to reach the reinforcements on the periphery of the Far East battlefield. The army's blockade was hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield, and within five days, they hadn't made a single step. Of course, only he and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Godaev, knew about this sad news for the time being.

The commander of the Japanese army should have sensed that there was an unexpected change in the battle situation, and increased the intensity of the attack on the Far East Front Army. Judging from the battles and casualties of the troops in the last two days, this is undoubtedly confirmed. The reinforcements have been delayed. The army's offensive intensified, his own troops suffered huge casualties, serious consumption of "medicine" and supplies, the weather became warmer, and the fortifications gradually lost their original functions. Several serious problems that could not be avoided were placed in front of Zhukov.

Regarding these, Zhukov could do something, and his originally firm heart turned into despair. He seemed to feel the result of the annihilation of the Far East Front Army, and he knew better that the determination of the supreme commander of the Japanese Army on the Far East Battlefield to annihilate the Far East Front Army was for the predictable. As a result, the force changed, and Zhukov's mood was extremely bad.

However, he did not dare to reveal the slightest bit in front of his subordinates. He only inadvertently revealed a little bit in the telegrams with his old friend, General Greg Garif, the commander of the Waxinganling Front Army. The top and bottom of the front army depended on the fact that the reinforcements would arrive soon. Once the reinforcements were blocked, the news that there would be no rescue spread among the troops in a short time, and all the defense lines of the Far East Front Army would collapse completely in an instant.

Chief of Staff Godayav, the reported casualties of the troops did not stir up any waves in Zhukov's heart. He had seen and heard too much. Facing the siege of the Japanese army on all sides, the Far East Front Army did not pay a few dollars that day. The cost of tens of thousands of casualties is just that today's casualties are higher.

Seeing that Zhukov turned around, but still didn't speak, looking distraught, Chief of Staff Godayav couldn't help but said: "Comrade Commander, we must come up with a solution to the problem of the southern defense direction, otherwise, It will affect the entire front, I suggest that the Ninth Army and the No.14 Army be transferred up to carry out a partial counterattack against the Japanese Kwantung Army and take back several key areas!"

There was a wave of fluctuation in Zhukov's eyes. He looked at Chief of Staff Godayav and said, "Comrade Chief of Staff, considering the current situation of the troops, do you think it is still possible to organize a partial counterattack?"

Without waiting for Chief of Staff Godayav to answer, Zhukov himself said: "Now, every army group has suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers' strength and energy are almost at their limits. There are still "medicine" and supplies. We can't organize a counterattack. Let's do this, order All the troops, taking advantage of the cessation of the Japanese attack, narrowed the defensive range again and gave up fighting for some key points, we must maintain sufficient strength!"

Chief of Staff Godayav hesitantly reminded: "Comrade Commander, we have shrunk our positions again, and the space on the battlefield has shrunk to the point where we cannot turn around. Moreover, without the defense depth, once the Japanese army breaks through a little bit, the situation cannot be restored. Please think carefully about it?"

Zhukov looked at his chief of staff, his gaze unchanged, and said: "Execute it!" After speaking, without looking at anyone, he went straight into the depths of the shelter. Chief of Staff Godayav sighed and began to issue orders to the various armies. [

Zhukov's heart was even heavier. The order just now was actually the last resort. Although the defense depth was not too large, it increased the thickness of troops in each defense direction. This was also the last to resist the Japanese attack. Zhao, the Far East Front Army and himself have no way out, "Old friend, what happened to you there? Could it be that with more than 100 million troops, there is no way to break through the resistance of the Japanese army?" Zhukov thought to himself.

In Zhukov's heart, he didn't mean to blame his old friend, General Gregarif, the commander of the Waixing'anling Front Army. Zhukov knew that his old friend would definitely work hard. Regarding this, there is no doubt at all. If Baikal General Kilganin, the commander of the Lake Army, may not be so active. Zhukov believes that it is precisely because of this that he will be puzzled that the reinforcements have not moved an inch under the blocking of the Japanese army for five days!

General Zhukov, the commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, had desperate thoughts in his heart. In Khabarovsk, the Far Eastern Command of the Japanese Army, Prince Zain, who commanded troops to attack the Soviet army, was also in his office, roaring angrily, There was only one reason for losing his temper. The progress of the attack by all the troops was too slow, so slow that Prince Zairen had the urge to kill.
