Age of Conquest Reborn

Prince Jae-in has reason to be so arrogant. The Far East Expeditionary Army has five first-class divisions with about 180,000 troops, and four heavy artillery regiments. The Korean Cantonment Army has eight first-class divisions with about 280,000 troops.

With the strength of nearly 500,000 people, it would not be any problem to block Zhukov's Far Eastern Front troops for two or three days. After two or three days, the main forces of the two armies would all arrive. Even if Zhukov had

Even with the power to reach heaven and earth, there is no way to break the encirclement.

"Yamada-kun, Commander Ono Norigoro and Commander Tanaka Shinichi are the generals of the empire and the heroes of the empire. They can start where they can't, do things that ordinary people can't do, and use surprise troops. In this way, we

Why worry? Imperial Land

It is indeed our great fortune to have such a talented general in the army!" Zai Ren sighed and said, "Yamada-kun, in the name of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, immediately issue an order to commend the two troops. I will report this matter to the Emperor.

Your Majesty!" he added.

Major General Yamada wrote it down carefully. Suddenly, Prince Zain's brows suddenly frowned, and he said with some worry: "I'm still worried that the North Korean garrison troops are advancing lightly, but they are not heavy.

Weapons, when facing the Soviet army, you will suffer a big loss!" In fact, his subtext is that the number of people killed is secondary, what if the light infantry of the North Korean garrison cannot stop the Soviet army?

However, Major General Yamada smiled and replied: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, after receiving the telegrams from the commanders of the two armies, I have noticed that Commander Tanaka Shinichi's actions have flaws in this regard, so I will refer to Nori Ono

Commander Goro's approach, in your name, issued an order to Commander Tanaka Shinichi to combine the artillery troops and tank troops under the ministry into a rapid assault group."

"At the same time, a considerable number of infantry troops, traveling in trucks, can play the role of protection. The order requires the artillery and tank troops of the North Korean garrison to arrive at the designated location in sync with the troops taking shortcuts. In this way, the troops can advance alone

The problem of weak firepower has been solved easily. Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, because the matter was urgent, I did not ask you for instructions in time, and the department took the liberty. Is it appropriate to handle it this way?"

Prince Zai Ren looked at Major General Yamada up and down with a strange look, which made him feel trembling in his heart. "Yamada-kun, if there is a capable person like you in the Far East Campaign Command, I will be able to share the military affairs for me. I will feel relaxed."

There are many pearls hidden, but Mr. Yamada buried them

After many years, the dust has faded away and you can show your sharpness. Being able to endure loneliness is an extraordinary quality that a human being can have. You are worthy of the heavy responsibility of chief of staff. Of course, I will arrange a more suitable position for you!" Zai Renyong

He said solemnly in an unusual tone.

It is an affirmation and an explanation. We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparisons. Lieutenant General Ninye Ryuaki and Major General Yamada will compare and decide which one is better. So far, Major General Yamada has been working step by step, working steadily and exerting all his strength.

Step by step, he is approaching the high position of Chief of Staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters.

Those who know how to advance and retreat are more likely to accomplish things. Major General Yamada knows that as far as the current situation is concerned, although Ninye's position as Chief of Staff is shaky, it will not be overturned for the time being. What he needs to do is to continue to consolidate his position as the Prince.

status in the eyes, therefore, Mr. Yamada

The general bowed deeply and said sternly: "The commander-in-chief's praise for the staff department makes the staff department ashamed. Yamada has no outstanding ability. The position of head of the staff headquarters is already overwhelmed, but the commander-in-chief has nothing to do.

Drive, I will serve you with all my strength regardless of personal honor or disgrace!"

This was a beautiful thing to say. Zai Ren stepped forward and patted his shoulder in an extremely rare and cordial manner, saying: "Yamada-kun, the military affairs at the headquarters are very demanding. Whenever there is urgent military information, you can come to see him at any time."

Let me go!"

After Major General Yamada left, Prince Zairen indulged himself for a while, then rang the electric bell. A lieutenant general came in silently, bent down and obeyed the order, "Immediately send a telegram to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, and our empire

The Far East Expeditionary Force and the vanguard of the North Korean garrison, a total of 13 first-class divisions and nearly half a million troops, are less than 150 kilometers away from the Far East battlefield. Nancijun can launch an attack with free hands and feet!

"

This is a reassurance for General Nanjiro. When Nanjiro is commanding the Kwantung Army to counterattack with a death wish, such a telegram will give him incomparable courage and confidence, the courage and confidence of the supreme commander on the battlefield. At the same time,

It will also inspire the soldiers' will to fight. Prince Zairen knows this well. Why not send such a telegram to Nanjiro as soon as possible?

Time passed slowly, and the dark night of May 30th was about to pass. A faint fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky. Zhukov rubbed his sore eyes, having stayed up all night. It seemed that his face was full of exhaustion.

There is a pair of blue-grey eyes that still exude a sharp light.

Lieutenant General Godayav, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, walked into the tent hurriedly, "Comrade Commander, in accordance with your order, the 15th, 18th, and 21st Group Army units, as well as the Front Army's logistics troops, have begun evacuation operations.

Hours later, the 13th, 16th, and 19th Group Army units, as the second echelon, also began to withdraw from the battlefield, and the front army headquarters will follow the second echelon in withdrawing!"

"The Eighth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Group Armies will withdraw from the battlefield as the third echelon. At the same time, they will also serve as the rear guard of the front army, responsible for covering," he reported. However, in the report, Chief of Staff Godaev did not mention

Speaking of the other three group army units that remain and are still fighting with the Kwantung Army troops, in fact, based on the current battlefield situation, those three group army units cannot withdraw even if they want to. They have been captured by the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Jun bit hard.

Waiting for their fate, there is no other way out except fighting with the Kwantung Army until they are exhausted, which can also be said to be the end of the army's annihilation. What the commander knows well, why bother to mention it again, but cause trouble?

It made him sad. Of course, Zhukov understood the painstaking efforts of his chief of staff. He nodded slightly and said, "Comrade chief of staff, can the three armies of the third echelon escape from the battlefield in their lifetime at the fastest possible time?" he said in a loud voice.

asked somewhat hoarsely.

Chief of Staff Godayav thought for a moment and replied rigorously: "Comrade Commander, according to the current situation, it will take five hours at the earliest to completely leave the battlefield, because there are several people opposite the three group army positions.

Some Kwantung Army troops are carrying out a small-scale attack, and they must completely defeat the Kwantung Army troops before they can evacuate the battlefield!"

Zhukov shook his head and said without any doubt: "No, the action is too slow. Moreover, there is more than four hours of separation between the second echelon and the second echelon. In the complicated situation of the surrounding battle, such a separation is enough to bring fatal consequences to the troops.

Danger, order them to deal with the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side within two hours, and then quickly evacuate the battlefield!"

Zhukov was cautious. He did this not to guard against the Japanese army, but to guard against Tang Qiuli's independent division troops. This Chinese commanded the battle, which was both dangerous and cunning. The battle was never successful and left no trace.

However, if he ambush a surprise force on the way, it would be enough to separate the three armies, which were more than four hours behind, from the main force of the Far East Front.

During the previous wars in Outer Mongolia, didn't the Soviet army suffer a lot of losses? He himself had suffered losses in this regard. Tang Qiuli's troops were good at running in and out, ambush and defeat sap, and if they didn't take action, they would use it. If they did,

, with the goal of annihilating the opponent completely. Although it is unlikely that Tang Qiuli would make such a layout on the battlefield in the Far East at this time, Zhukov did not dare to take it lightly and fight against the Chinese. He would even sleep with his eyes open.

One eye.

As dawn approaches, a silvery white color appears in the eastern sky. Everything on the battlefield in the Far East fades away from the darkness of the night and appears vaguely in front of our eyes. The orderly brings a steaming cup of black tea with sugar and a few slices of black bread.

This was Zhukov's breakfast, but he had no appetite. He smoked almost a pack of cigars and his mouth tasted bitter. He sighed and sat down to eat his breakfast.

"Boom! - Boom!" Suddenly, a violent explosion that exceeded any previous battles suddenly resounded in the dawn sky. Zhukov stopped bringing the bread to his mouth, raised his head in surprise, and looked outside the tent.

, there was a burst of speculation in my mind.

"Ding-ding-ding!" A telephone in the tent rang rapidly, and a staff officer quickly picked up the phone, "This is the front army headquarters, what? Repeat it again! How many? - Can't tell for the time being -

Exceeding your strength! - OK, I will report to Comrade Commander immediately!"

From the intermittent phone calls between the staff, Zhukov keenly felt that there must be something wrong on the front line, and the sound of artillery was more violent than before and continued to sound. He put down the bread, and the staff hurriedly came to him and said, "Report

Comrade Commander, I received a report from the headquarters of the Fourteenth Army. When they were counterattacking a small group of Kwantung Army troops, they were suddenly attacked by a large number of Japanese troops. The strength of the Japanese army cannot be calculated for the time being, but it may exceed that of the Fourteenth Army!

"

"What?" Zhukov stood up suddenly, knocked over the dining table, and the black tea fell to the ground, "Why is this happening? Aren't the Kwantung Army troops fighting inextricably with the three army groups he left behind?

Why are so many Japanese troops popping up in front of the Fourteenth Army? Is there a direct connection with the sound of artillery just now?" He thought to himself, a series of possibilities, chaotic exchanges in Zhukov's mind

Intertwined.

Zhukov walked to the phone in a few steps. He had to make a call to find out what happened. If only the Fourteenth Army encountered this situation, it would not be a big problem. If it was the troops confronting the Kwantung Army, this would happen to all the troops.

In this case, the problem would be serious. For a while, Zhukov's forehead started to sweat.
