Age of Rebirth

Prince Zairen, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Base Camp and Commander of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, after receiving information from the spy force, learned that an unknown number of independent divisions had assembled in the southeastern region of Outer Mongolia. Standing in front of a large map, he looked at Outer Mongolia The location in the southeast, the more you look at it, the colder you feel.

The position of this independent division is too unfavorable for the Imperial Japanese Army. If the Chinese devil orders his troops to attack all the way to the southeast from this position, it will be like a machete. The entire Manchuria was split in two, reaching directly to the Sea of ​​Japan, threatening the Vladivostok military port, and it was more like a sharp arrow shooting towards the mainland of the Great Japanese Empire.

Prince Zairen absolutely believed that Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, deployed his troops according to this style of play. What Prince Zairen most urgently needs to know is the number, name of the commander, and the number of troops in this army. , What is the level of equipment, but the [-]rd Division is directly under the search brigade, and only one brigade of the Independent Division has been found, and there is no other information at all.

"Impossible? Why did the Chinese devil just deploy a brigade of troops in areas that threatened Manchuria!" Prince Zairen cried out in his heart. He urgently needed the support of intelligence to identify that cunning and insidious Chinese devil. , what to do next?

"Advisor!—Advisor!" Order the head of the intelligence headquarters of the headquarters to run to see me immediately! "Prince Zairen yelled at a staff officer.

At this time, Major General Yamada, the chief of staff of the headquarters, walked into Prince Zain's office, and signaled the frightened staff officer to step down first, so that he did not need to go to the head of the Intelligence Headquarters. Then, he said to Prince Zain: "Commander-in-Chief, The situation is clarified, this is the intelligence that our other search forces have sent back one after another, even if the situation of that Chinese army is clear!"

"Yo Xi! - Hello!" Prince Zai Ren heaved a sigh of relief.He sighed, "Timely Rain, what I need, Yamada-kun will send. Such a chief of staff is handy to use, "Yamada-kun, what did you say in terms of intelligence?" He asked, his expression relaxed, and he knew the bottom line , there is no fear of the unknown.

Chief of Staff Yamada said: "The information sent back by the various search units of the imperial army is relatively scattered. I ordered the intelligence department to analyze and sort out the information. The information obtained is as follows. The Mongolian Field Corps, Sun Zhenbang, the commander of the Corps, has the rank of major general. He is one of the senior officers in the independent division.

"In addition, Sun Zhenbang also served as the "chairman" of the Military and Political Committee of Outer Mongolia. From this, it can be concluded that this person is quite important to Tang Qiuli, and the Outer Mongolian Field Corps. It was Tang Qiuli, the Chinese devil, who was conducting the second overseas trip with the Soviets. During the Mongolian War, it was ordered to be reorganized into a field force, with a total of 26 brigades under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than [-] people. It was equipped in all the field corps of the Independent Division. It was at the second-rate level, and its combat effectiveness was not as good as several other veterans of the Independent Division. Field troops. Other equipment is unknown!" [

"Is that all? ——huh?" Prince Zairen listened intently, and just as he smacked something, Major General Yamada stopped abruptly, as if he was in the middle of a tickle.Like a sudden interruption, the stool was dry and uncomfortable, so he asked dissatisfied.

Major General Yamada smiled wryly, and replied: "Commander-in-Chief, so far, the information we have obtained is only this. It's a pity that we haven't received any answers from these espionage troops, and if the estimate is not bad, these elites of the imperial army may have been attacked by the independent division, and the jade was shattered!"

"Sun Zhenbang? — This person has not appeared in the list of the independent division's titans. He has served as the "chairman" of the Military Uniform Committee in Outer Mongolia. That is to say, he is not a purely military commander, but Tang Qiu Li Que ordered him to command twelve brigades with more than [-] troops, and Chen Bing was in the southeast of Outer Mongolia, could it be that the Chinese devil had other plans?" Prince Zairen thought to himself.

"Yamada-kun, does the intelligence department have any more detailed information about Sun Zhenbang?" Prince Zairen asked.

Major General Yamada replied: "There are some, but very few. The intelligence headquarters of the headquarters contacted the Military Intelligence Bureau of the base camp and obtained some information. The Military Intelligence Bureau also knows very little about Sun Zhenbang, let alone of much value!"

"No!——Yamada-kun, for the enemy who threatens the Imperial Japanese Army, any piece of information is very precious, and it may become the key to solve the problem, tell me!" Prince Zairen said solemnly, and then A new opponent has appeared, and he desperately needs to know everything about him!

Major General Yamada took out a page from the file folder and read: "Sun Zhenbang should be a senior officer of the Chinese Devil Tang Qiuli's army. Officer, the command post was in the Taihang Mountains in North China, and fought against the troops of General Yasuji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the North China Dispatch Army at that time, but there was no outstanding record!"

"Later, in the first Outer Mongolian War, the Soviet army was completely expelled from the Outer Mongolian area by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops, and was ordered to lead his troops into the Outer Mongolian area and reorganized as an independent division of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Defense Army. The "excellent" record is that a few months ago, he commanded the reorganized Outer Mongolia Field Corps to encircle and wipe out the No.30 Fifth Army of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army!"

"In addition, according to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the backbone troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Army are all based on the North China Army, but the number is not large, about 5 to [-]. The rest of the troops are all Locals from Outer Mongolia, Commander-in-Chief, that's all!"

After Chief of Staff Yamada finished speaking, he closed the folder and looked at Prince Zairen quietly. He knew that he, the chief of staff, had done his duty. Next, it would depend on His Royal Highness's judgment, and then he would supplement and perfect it. .

Prince Zairen fell into deep thought, "According to the situation provided by various information, this Outer Mongolia Field Corps should be a second-rate unit of the Independent Division. The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli deployed it in the southeastern part of Outer Mongolia. Taking the situation that threatens the northeastern border of Manchuria is more important to contain the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, with the equipment and strength of more than [-] second-rate troops, it does not have the ability to attack Manchuria alone!"

After reaching this judgment, Prince Zairen heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't think that Tang Qiuli, the China devil known for his insidiousness and cunning, would use a second-rate army to complete a separate assault direction. The danger at the border has been greatly weakened, and it is also a serious problem for the headquarters of the Far East Campaign. Coupled with the unpredictable way of using troops by the Chinese devils, this second-rate army may become a deadly blade in Tang Qiuli's hands. ?

"You must be on guard, and you must not be negligent!" Prince Zai Ren already had a plan in mind, but asked, "Samada-kun, what is your opinion on this situation?"

From Prince Zairen's eyes, the treacherous and cunning Chief of Staff Yamada knew that your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief had already made up his mind, and asking himself now was just a matter of firm determination. mean.

Chief of Staff Yamada cautiously replied: "Commander-in-Chief, although the Outer Mongolian Field Corps of the Independent Division is a second-rate force, but with more than [-] troops, dispatching troops to the northeastern border of Manchuria has always been a potential threat to Manchuria. Therefore, the staff department’s suggestion is to form a force that can compete with it, or even slightly exceed it, and take on the task of monitoring and guarding the troops of the Independent Division on the northeastern border of Manchuria!” [

"Yo Xi!" Prince Zairen praised happily. He was very satisfied with Chief of Staff Yamada, who could always keep up with his own thinking and come up with reasonable suggestions. This is called a qualified chief of staff. What, it doesn't look like that Shinno Tatsuaki, a downright stupid pig!

Thinking of the former chief of staff Lieutenant General Shinno Tatsuaki who was ordered to cut himself open, Prince Zairen felt uncomfortable. However, he quickly expelled this feeling from his mind and said: "Yamada-kun, send a report to General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, ordering the Kwantung Army to immediately mobilize eight divisions to form a border guard team in the northeastern part of Manchuria, and immediately go to the area to deploy defenses!"

Chief of Staff Yamada hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Commander-in-Chief, after the Far East Campaign, the troops of the Kwantung Army suffered a great deal of wear and tear. Moreover, the losses were all elite divisions. Now, they are resting and replenishing troops and equipment. Among them, after the arrival of local recruits, the overall combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army will inevitably decline within a certain period of time!"

"According to your order, after the replenishment of the Kwantung Army troops, they will go to the Liaoxi region of Manchuria. What they have to face is a strong, well-trained, and well-equipped lady who can also be called a veteran force in the independent division. The guard corps, the corps moved to various battlefields in China, fought against the imperial army many times, and all the soldiers are veterans with rich combat experience!"

"Feng Jiwu, the commander of the corps, is also a mighty general under Tang Qiuli, the devil of China. He once served as his chief of staff. He commanded a combat style that was quite powerful. At this time, eight divisions were drawn from the Kwantung Army. , the Ministry of Staff is worried that after the Kwantung Army's troops are dispersed, they may be unable to cope with the independent divisions in Manchuria, Liaoxi and Northeast, on both battlefields!"

The words of Chief of Staff Yamada are already very clear. The Kwantung Army is not in its heyday now. It has a strength of more than 180 million. In the First World War in the Far East, the Kwantung Army lost two-thirds. Without the original combat effectiveness, we have to divide our troops, reject Feng Jiwu's troops in the west, and defend Sun Zhenbang's troops in the north, be careful of being beaten at both ends!
