Age of Rebirth

Chapter 870 The third chapter is ln

At two o'clock in the morning on November [-], Timoshenko commanded more than [-] remnants of the Soviet Far East Second Army, and began a desperate breakout in the direction due north of Arsenyev.

Timoshenko's breakout operation greatly exceeded the expectations of the commander of the Kwantung Army Kenkichi Ueda. It was a matter of time before the Soviets broke through the siege. I didn't expect it to come so soon. According to Kenkichi Ueda's estimation, how could the exhausted Soviet army go? It is also necessary to take advantage of the fact that the imperial army has not attacked for a few days, take a good breath, and then break through.

Kenkichi Ueda's wishful thinking was well done. He ordered the troops to stop attacking, creating the illusion of a long-term siege. It can be said that it was a trick to paralyze Timoshenko and disintegrate the combat effectiveness of the Soviet soldiers. They were in a tense fighting state for a long time The string in the head of the Soviet soldier was so tense that he was almost numb.

Once relaxed, without the pressure of the imperial army, the mentality of the Soviets will change subtly. The Soviets must also be trapped to death. This move is very vicious. It is aimed at the characteristics of the Soviet soldiers who have been surrounded for a long time. [

Kenkichi Ueda is cunning. On the one hand, he despises Chinese culture very much, and on the other hand, he wants to use Chinese strategies. Unfortunately, he is not good at learning, and he is a half-baked person. This is probably a common problem of Japanese people in that era. On the other hand, he enjoys the essence of this culture with peace of mind, but it is labeled as the Japanese himself. This kind of self-deception is most in line with the character of the Japanese.

Timoshenko was not fooled. As a brilliant commander, he knew the current situation of the troops very well. If you don't fight, you will collapse.

Relying on the bravery of fighting the Kwantung Army for dozens of days, the Second Far East Army quickly broke through the encirclement of the Kwantung Army. Tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers rushed out. Timoshenko did not feel at ease in the slightest. It was just the beginning, and the next thing to face was the pursuit and interception of the Kwantung Army.

Kenkichi Ueda knows his own affairs. With these 10,000+ troops, he formed a tight encirclement circle in the Arsenyev area with a radius of nearly [-] kilometers. The depth of envelopment and the ability to take care of the main direction have already cost Kenkichi Ueda several brain cells.

As soon as Timoshenko's breakout began, Kenkichi Ueda understood that that little force could not stop the flood of Soviets. Therefore, he was not too anxious when the Soviet army broke through to the north, and ordered the troops to chase after them. At the same time, order the First Army in the direction of Khabarovsk to immediately intercept the Soviet army, and finally destroy them in the wild without fortifications.

The First Army of the Kwantung Army did not fight easily in the Khabarovsk area. The Soviet Transcaucasus Front Army received a death order. Timoshenko also wants to entangle the First Kwantung Army Army in the Khabarovsk area so that it can divide its troops to intercept Timoshenko's breakout troops.

After receiving the order from Your Excellency the Commander, Lieutenant General Hikogoro Takashima, the Commander of the First Army of the Kwantung Army, frowned like iron bumps. Takashima was very annoyed at the order from Your Excellency the Commander. In the Saskatchewan area, although he didn't have much pressure, he still pressed fleas with ten fingers, and he was useless.

Although the Soviets on the opposite side could not break through his blocking line of defense, the battle was still going on, and Takashima could also see that the Soviet army had received a death order, and they would never stop unless they broke through the blocking line of defense. Xin Ge's remnant troops had reduced frontal blocking forces, and their own blocking line of defense would soon be in jeopardy.

No way, Takashima had no choice but to order the No.20 Fifth Division, No.30 First Division, the Fourth UN Formation Brigade, and the Seventh Brigade with a total of more than [-] troops to fight in Bijin, south of Khabarovsk. On the front line of the river, a blocking line of defense was established to block Timoshenko's troops here, and with the troops that caught up later, they joined forces to attack the Soviet army.

After withdrawing the troops of the two divisions and the two brigades from the blocking line of defense, the frontal blocking positions were stretched, and Takashima immediately felt the pressure. Respond to the Timoshenko troops that broke out.

The commander of the front army retained Admiral Kinski, who was dissatisfied with the results of his troops' battles for more than two months. Not only did the uninterrupted attacks fail to break through the Kwantung Army's blocking defense line, but the Kwantung Army's troops fought more and more. The comrades-in-arms were besieged, but he could do nothing, and he felt very angry about keeping Admiral Kinski.

Now, Timoshenko has broken through and is coming in his direction. If the current deadlock is not broken, let alone Timoshenko is dissatisfied, the General Staff and the Supreme Commander will not be able to pass it on. The troops stormed Takashima's blocking defense line with all their strength, using all the weapons at the bottom of the box, and the reserve team did not stay at all.

The troops of the Transcaucasus Front were desperate. The war in the Khabarovsk area suddenly reached a boiling point. The guns and guns spread over tens of kilometers on the front line. The Soviets were desperate. Once the blocking defense line was broken through, the blocked Kwantung Army troops were forced to retreat to the second blocking position.

The front had been deadlocked for two months. Because of the sudden outbreak of the Soviet army, there were signs that it was not conducive to the Kwantung Army. Under the fierce attack of the Soviet Transcaucasus Front Army, the First Army of Takashima was constantly forced to shrink the blocking line of defense. After fighting for a day and a night, Takashima was shocked to find that the blocking position had retreated tens of kilometers.

This is not a good sign. The Transcaucasus Front Army is desperately attacking in front, and Timoshenko's breakout troops rush over behind, attacking back and forth. Who is surrounded?He hastily telegraphed the tense situation in the Khabarovsk area to Commander Kenkichi Ueda, and the answer he got was: "The troops of the Soviet Transcaucasus Front must resolutely block it, and Timoshenko's defeated soldiers must also be blocked."

Takashima Hikogoro, who received the order, almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He knew how much capital he had in his hand. It would not be a problem to block the Transcaucasian front army, but it would be difficult for him to undertake the blocking task in two directions. However, the military order fell like a mountain. I can only persevere desperately, fighting with fear.

Kenji Ueda's pursuit of Timoshenko's troops that broke through the encirclement was not smooth. He was stubbornly blocked by the Soviet army in the north of Arsenyev. After fighting for a day, he finally took the position. The nose is so crooked, and all those who blocked the 10,000+ Kwantung Army troops were wounded by the Soviet Army, and not even a single prisoner was caught.

The heroic resistance of more than 1 Soviet wounded soldiers won a precious day for Timoshenko, and enabled more than 8 Soviet soldiers to temporarily get rid of the passive situation of being tightly bitten by the Kwantung Army. The wounded will stay here forever.

Kenkichi Ueda felt that the situation was not good, Takashima was in a tight spot, and the blockade was blocked for another day. Timoshenko's troops, who had besieged for more than two months, were afraid that they would run away, so he had to order the troops in Kamchatka Peninsula to fight with the Soviet Union. The Second Army of the Chaga Front Army immediately left the battlefield and rushed to the Khabarovsk area to join the First Army, and must encircle Timoshenko's remnant army again. [

Until now, Kenkichi Ueda’s heart is in a panic. The cooked duck flew away, and it was all directed by the bastards in the base camp. If the troops were not transferred back to Manchuria, Timoshenko would not be able to escape no matter what. Received a telegram from the Second Army, "Your Excellency, Commander, our troops are entangled with the Soviet army and cannot leave the battlefield. If we forcibly leave, we will be followed and pursued. In this way, the casualties of the troops will increase dramatically."

Ueda Kenkichi believed that the situation of the Second Army was true. He had been fighting with his opponent for more than two months. The purpose of the attack was not to destroy the Soviet army, but to prevent the Kamchatka Front Army from going south and reinforce Timoshenko's troops.

Now, the two places are in a tense situation, and one is still chasing wildly. The result is not yet known. Kenkichi Ueda's anger exploded uncontrollably, and he dispatched nearly 60 troops. To be willing, in the Arsenyev siege, the Kwantung Army did not take much advantage, and the ratio of casualties to the Soviet Army was close to one to one.

But other than yelling at the idiots in the base camp, he could only order the troops to chase after the Timoshenko troops who had broken through. Seeing the blood-red eyes of His Excellency the Commander, the staff officers in the Kwantung Army's frontline headquarters knew that Your Excellency the Commander is about to kill again, so they all run away. Yesterday, a squadron leader with no eyesight ordered the troops to rest for 10 minutes. His Excellency the Commander met him and chopped off the poor guy's head with a knife.

The Kwantung Army troops that came back to aid the Liaodong Peninsula in an emergency were originally exhausted troops who had come down from the battlefield. Their drive and ruthlessness had been completely worn out in the battle for more than two months. One of the vanguard troops The incomplete division reached the Shangjiahe area west of Fengtian, and was suddenly ambushed by Liu Tiehan's two brigades.

Five hours later, the No. 18 Division of the Kwantung Army hurried over from the Far East, with more than [-] people, disappeared under the fierce artillery fire of the East Pointing Army. The main force of the Kwantung Army who arrived later saw All that was left was the corpses of soldiers of the Kwantung Army everywhere, and the huge crater that was still emitting lingering smoke.

According to the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, the Dongzhi troops immediately withdrew from the Liaodong Peninsula. On the front line of Fengtian, they formed a confrontation with the more than [-] Kwantung Army troops who arrived later. Two hours later, Liu Tiehan commanded the troops to attack the main force of the Kwantung Army. Launched a full-line attack, and the Kwantung Army troops whose foothold was not stable were repeatedly repelled.

Tang Qiuli, who was far away in Dingbian, smiled like an old fox after receiving the telegram from Liu Tiehan. The sisters of the Mei family beside him felt a chill. The delicate balance between the Far East and Northeast that he expected was about to be realized , how can you not be happy.
