Age of Rebirth

General Zhukov, the commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front Army, has limited regrets in his heart. Four years ago, he commanded more than one million soldiers of the Far Eastern Front Army. On this vast land, he had several confrontations with the Japanese Kwantung Army. The talent of military command was brought into play to the fullest, overpowering General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, maintaining a strategic advantage.

Later, as the Germans suddenly attacked the Soviet Union, the situation in the Far East took a turn for the worse. Millions of troops had to evacuate the Far East in a hurry. Now there are only less than 130 troops left, more than half of the troops have been lost, and their vitality has been greatly injured. I am afraid that it is not much better than the previous Kwantung Army?

Zhukov was not reconciled. If Comrade Stalin hadn’t insisted on transferring the millions of Soviet troops in the Far East to return to Europe, how could the situation in the Far East have evolved to the present level? Therefore, the Far East Front Army was encircled by heavy Japanese troops. Zhukov didn’t think he was in command The mistake, but the grand strategic direction of the high command, affected me. If there was no fact that the German army invaded the Soviet Union, in time, the Far Eastern Front Army would still be a mighty force!

"After leaving here, there is no possibility of returning to the Far East!" He sighed, which means that the power of the Soviet Union has been uprooted from this land, although he does not know the specific content of the negotiations between Moscow and Tang Qiuli , However, based on experience, Zhukov can conclude that the Soviet Union will pay a heavy price for this. Still on the blocking line of the Japanese army.It was bloody!

And Vasilevsky's I don't have that front army, and I'm afraid I'm still wandering on the vast and desolate land of Outer Mongolia at this moment. Tang Qiuli controls the eastern battlefield with one hand, and grasps the rhythm of this battlefield. Still myself, including the other three front army commanders, and even Comrade Stalin, are all pawns in this Chinese Far East chess game.

There is a contrast between the ambition of the general limit and the cruel reality.The power of not being able to change reality caused Zhukov to lose interest for a while, and he absolutely believed in Tang Qiuli's appetite.Not only in the Far East, but also in Manchuria, the largest occupied area of ​​the Japanese overseas.It's all in his plan.Wherever the Chinese looked, the vast Asian part of the Soviet Union might have long been within his ambition to conquer?

Intensive gunfire outside the bunker, one after another, in the dark night, the Japanese army continued to attack the Soviet army's position.The battle was as fierce as ever. A few hours later, the gunfire on the battlefield subsided, and the Japanese army was like the sea at low tide.Hidden in the dark night, there is only the smell of gunpowder smoke, which gradually drifts away with the evening wind from the south.

Everything is expected, this is the last attack of the Japanese army, just like the performance before the curtain call, probably at this moment the Japanese army has all withdrawn, although this kind of performance, in the eyes of Zhukov, is so ridiculous and clumsy , and can even outline a specific detail, but Zhukov can only be a spectator honestly, can't do anything, and dare not do anything, letting the Japanese leave thinking they have succeeded.

Zhukov's mood was bitter, he could not compete with the Japanese and Tang Qiuli in the Far East, and keep this rich and vast land for the Soviet Union. The cover department didn't care about the Japanese attack and the casualties caused to the troops. In the dark cover department, they submerged themselves in the darkness on the side until the chief of staff, Goda Yafu, came in. [

The chief of staff, Lieutenant General Godayav, looked at the commander in the dark corner in surprise, his figure was so lonely and lonely, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Comrade commander, the Japanese attack was repelled by us, not only that , the troops in several directions have also regained the previously lost positions, the core defense circle has been restored to its original state, and the morale of the troops is very high. Comrades, please return to the headquarters!"

Zhukov got up silently, walked out of the shelter without saying a word, and looked into the dark distance. Chief of Staff Godayav noticed that Comrade Commander's eyes were always looking at Manchuria!

The sky was bright, and as Zhukov asserted, the Japanese troops evacuated completely overnight. The Soviet soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that when they opened their eyes every day, they saw dangling khaki figures on the opposite side. It disappeared completely, and there was no harsh Japanese howling in my ears, and the cannons flying all over the sky were nowhere to be seen. This morning was peaceful and serene.

The battlefield was so quiet that the Soviet soldiers almost suspected that they were dreaming. For a long time, accompanied by the breakfast that could only maintain the minimum physical strength, it was the artillery of the Japanese army, "The Japanese have withdrawn!" "The Japanese army has run away! "Exciting news spread among the soldiers, and many soldiers ran around in the trenches to tell each other. The nightmare was gone, and every soldier had the excitement of surviving the disaster.

Of course, the officers of the Soviet Army at all levels, unlike the soldiers, were dazzled by superficial phenomena, and maintained due caution and vigilance. While ordering the soldiers to continue to fight, they dispatched small and capable troops He ventured to the direction of the Japanese army's position, reconnaissance situation, and soon, the information from all sides came back, "Report to the headquarters, the Japanese army in the reconnaissance direction of my reconnaissance team has disappeared, and my team is continuing to conduct in-depth reconnaissance!"

"Reporting to the commander, I am a reconnaissance brigade directly under the military headquarters. The four squadrons of my brigade are divided into four directions. They went out of our army's position for more than [-] kilometers. Wherever they went, they did not find any traces of Japanese soldiers' activities. What I saw were all military items abandoned by the Japanese army, and there were traces of a large number of infantry and heavy equipment passing in the direction leading to the Brea Mountains, and the specific situation is under further investigation and verification!"

It was finally confirmed that the Japanese army that had surrounded him for more than ten days withdrew overnight. The news spread among the soldiers. There were cheers on the battlefield. Many Soviet soldiers climbed out of the muddy trenches and stood on the ground. In the bright sunshine, breathing greedily, in the air without the smell of gunpowder, the surviving soldiers of the Soviet Far East Front were immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

In the headquarters of the Far Eastern Front Army, Zhukov did not even read the telegrams about the withdrawal of the Japanese army reported by the various armies. As expected, he was not interested. The two are very detailed, the most important two of which are the order for the wounded to evacuate before the troops, and the other is the issue of the dead soldiers' bodies, identity registration and in-situ burial.

The commander of the front army personally asked about such a small matter, which moved the commanders at all levels of the Soviet army very much. The whole morning, the Soviet Far East front army was busy in an orderly manner to leave the blood-soaked battlefield. various aspects of preparation.

New graves rose one after another in the Far East in the early spring, on the muddy land where ice and snow still remained. After more than ten days of defensive battles, under the siege of the superior Japanese forces, the Soviet Far East Front Army paid a heavy price, with more than [-] casualties. Among them, more than [-] soldiers were killed. There were so many dead soldiers that they didn't even have the time and materials to carve a wooden tombstone. It was just that on the undulating cemetery, in front of each tomb, a red five-pointed tombstone was placed. Star helmet.

Under the bright sunshine in the early spring of the Far East, those red stars, like dots of blood, spread shockingly on the earth. More than [-] fresh lives, because of Stalin's greedy order, lie forever on the land of the Far East There is not even a tombstone, let alone a name, but pitiful mounds, which prove that the previous life, carrying the souls far away from their hometown and floating in the sky of other places, has an illusory destination. .

Zhukov led hundreds of senior officers and stood for a long time in front of a cemetery that was undulating like waves. The Soviet soldiers who survived the battlefield raised their guns and shot them into the blue sky. In this way, Saying goodbye to their comrades-in-arms, the gunfire was like a wave, drifting into the distance with the wind on the sunny land of the Far East. I don’t know if the Japanese soldiers who were evacuating in a hurry would be extremely nervous after hearing this burst of gunfire!

Near noon, the vanguard of the Soviet Outer Xing'an Mountains Front Army, two mechanized armies, arrived at the Far East battlefield and joined forces with the Soviet Far East Front Army. Thousands of trucks full of soldiers, General Greg Garriff, the commander of the front army, gave the order to the vanguard, "At any cost, tear a hole in the encirclement of the Japanese army!"

The two Soviet mechanized armies came with the idea of ​​a brutal fight, but the expected fierce battle did not happen, and no Japanese soldier was seen. The Far Eastern Army who came to greet them contacted Officer, tell them, "Last night, the Japanese ran away a long time ago, and they were scared away by our powerful reinforcements!"

The situation was quickly reported to General Greg Garriff, the commander of the Outer Xing'anling Front Army. At this point, he was completely relieved. The Japanese army suddenly withdrew from the siege. It would be ideal to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army. It is a pity that the Japanese army ran away. [

But the current result is also satisfactory to him. No matter how you say it, although the old friend's troops have suffered heavy losses, they still retain their vitality. With Zhukov's talent, it won't take long for the Far East Army to appear in Europe in full swing. On the battlefield, what made him happiest was that after that, he could gallop side by side with his old friends again!
