Age of Conquest Reborn

Lieutenant General Suzuki, the commander of the 138th Division of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force, who received the telegram from Captain Kato, was shocked. At the same time, he was also extremely angry. It shouldn't be. The whereabouts of the troops were so secret. How could the Soviets come in advance?

How about sending a small force to cross the Burya Mountains?

According to the war situation report from the Far East Campaign Headquarters, Zhukov's troops were all pinned down on the battlefield by the Kwantung Army. Could it be that the cunning Zhukov had been aware of the dispatched army headquarters' plan in advance? If so, there would be big trouble.

.

Lieutenant General Suzuki knew the topographic conditions of the Breya Mountains very well. It was the mountain pass that the division was going to pass. As long as Zhukov deployed a regiment there, including the 138th Division, more than a dozen of them would take shortcuts.

Tens of thousands of troops could not even think of passing through, and could only helplessly listen to the sound of gunfire on the other side of the mountain range.

Moreover, the main force of the 138th Division is still dozens of kilometers away from the mountain pass. Don’t underestimate these dozens of kilometers. In the Bureya Mountains, it means a snow-covered mountain road that cannot be completed in a day. Now

The key is to control the mountain pass and buy enough time for the main force of the division to arrive. Kato's squadron became the key to the outflanking campaign.

As a result, the majestic Lieutenant General Division Commander, in an extremely rare event, personally sent a telegram to a small captain, the squadron leader. Of course, the content of the telegram, in addition to praising Captain Kato and ordering Kato

The squadron must defend

Stationed at the mountain pass, even if all the members were in pieces, they were not allowed to step back even half a step, and they scolded him. The reason was surprisingly consistent with Captain Kato's scolding of his three squad leaders, "Why don't you capture the Soviet soldier alive?"

Detachment?"

After reading the telegram personally signed by the division commander, Captain Kato was flattered. As for the scolding that followed, that was his honor. There are probably thousands of officers at the squadron captain level in the entire division. Who can beat the division commander?

Damn, it’s only you!

Of course, he couldn't be scolded in vain, so there were still purple and blue slap marks on his three cheeks. The unlucky squad leader was summoned by the captain again. Naturally, he fermented the division commander's scolding and sent it to him several times.

After scolding three subordinates, I felt

Captain Kato, who was extremely balanced, issued an order. He immediately built fortifications at the mountain pass and prepared to face the Soviet troops that were about to arrive. He did not realize that this might be one of the few orders given by him in his life that had already entered the countdown.

Opportunity to command.

After giving the order to the 3rd Search Squadron, the Suzuki Division Commander still felt uneasy. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to report the small-scale battle that occurred at the Breya Pass directly to the Far East Campaign Headquarters.

After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Suzuki, Prince Zain smiled lightly and put the telegram aside indifferently. The head of the headquarters staff headquarters who sent the telegram, Major General Yamada, couldn't help but remind him: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Suzuki Division

long worry,

It makes sense. Since Zhukov sent a small reconnaissance force and a battle broke out, it means that he has been aware of your plan. Should he order the 138th Division to temporarily stop advancing and wait for other troops?

Catch up?"

Prince Zairen smiled more and more calmly and said: "Yamada-kun, there is no need to be nervous. Lieutenant General Suzuki is concerned and chaotic. If Zhukov has noticed in advance that the Far East dispatched troops to take a shortcut, then he will just send a group of troops to take a shortcut."

A small force of more than fifty men was annihilated. If Zhukov had been prepared, the number of troops at the Breya Pass would not be less than one division!"

"Moreover, the Breya Pass has long been a heavily fortified barrier!" Prince Zairen talked as if he was in a tactical lesson. Major General Yamada was convinced, "Yamada-kun, call back the 138th Division and follow the scheduled plan.

After proceeding, occupying the Breya Pass passage and leaving the troops to ensure the safety of the passage, the main force of the division immediately launched an attack on the Soviet flank!" He issued another order.

This order was bold enough. With the strength of a division, before the follow-up troops had arrived, they took the lead in launching an attack on the Soviet Far East Front, which had more than one million troops. Major General Yamada was sweating after hearing this.

, but he knew better that the thinking of His Highness the Prince could not be inferred by ordinary people. His actions must be reasonable, so when the words came to his lips, he quietly swallowed them back.

Prince Zai Ren is indeed confident. The raiding force in the direction of the Breya Mountains is a surprise force and will definitely disrupt Zhukov's planned deployment. If he does not want to be stabbed on the flank, he can only send troops to fight. The key is to rush

Will Zhukov, who is retreating, be willing to allocate more troops to fight?

Prince Zai Ren's judgment is that Zhukov will not do it. On the other hand, the flank attack of the 138th Division can reduce the pressure on the Kwantung Army to the greatest extent. Moreover, this is only the left and right directions of the Far East battlefield.

The troops taking a shortcut from the North Korean garrison appeared behind the Kukan Mountains on the right side of the battlefield. How would Zhukov deal with it? He was definitely in a hurry!

The surprise troops on the left and right wings are not the focus of the Far East campaign. As long as they can disrupt Zhukov's established deployment, the highlight of the Far East campaign is the main force of the Empire's Far East dispatched troops and the Korean garrison. Only they have the ability to eat Zhukov's troops.

.

According to the information from the intelligence department of the campaign headquarters, Zhukov should have taken preventive measures. He was the first to evacuate the three army groups from the battlefield. Two of them were already at their current positions, strategically deploying to the left and right wings. The remaining group army

The troops moved as quickly as possible towards the Soviet Union's Xing'anling Front in the direction of Chita. Zhukov's plan was to build a channel in advance between the Far East battlefield and the Soviet Union's Xing'anling Front to prevent the imperialists from being invaded.

The army cut off its retreat.

Prince Zai Ren saw through Zhukov's plan. He had already issued an order. The Far East Expeditionary Force and the main force of the North Korean garrison must encircle and annihilate the three Soviet army groups in the area east of Chita, and completely cut off the Soviet Far East Front towards Chita.

Close passage.

Zai Ren was also very happy. Zhukov's adoption of such tactics was equivalent to dividing more than one million troops into several segments, giving him the opportunity to defeat each one. The Kwantung Army launched a fierce offensive on the Far East battlefield, with the Blea Mountains on the left and the Blea Mountains on the right

In the Kukan Mountains, two strange troops emerged, the Far East Expeditionary Force and the North Korean garrison troops. They intercepted and attacked the Soviet Far East Front with five sharp knives.

Even if Zhukov has the ability to reach heaven and earth, and the Soviet Far East Front has millions of people, what else can he do in the face of such a dead situation? In addition, he is eager to retreat and does not dare to dwell on the situation. Will Zhukov's situation be wonderful?

At this time, Prince Zai Ren was in a very happy mood. The Far East campaign plan developed step by step according to his own expectations with almost no twists and turns. Under normal circumstances, it would take no more than three days to complete the attack on the Soviet Far East Front.

The encirclement and then the gradual annihilation. Of course, this process may take a long time, but Prince Zai Ren is not in a hurry. The fish that have fallen into the net will be picked up one day earlier and one day later. There is not much difference.

And enjoying the pleasure of the whole process is even more wonderful than seeing the result. However, Prince Zai Ren is full of confidence and feels in control of the battle situation. The battle situation on the front line from Chita to Irkutsk has been affected by a series of events.

The changes made him very confused. He felt that the Chinese man Tang Qiuli seemed not to be all in his calculations.

It has been three or four days since the Soviet Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army retreated to the front lines of Chita and Irkutsk. Normally, Tang Qiuli's independent division troops on this line have nothing more than two options.

First, after a battle with the Soviet army and paying a certain price, they still could not prevent the Soviet army with numerical superiority from continuing to withdraw westward. Of course, the Soviets would also pay a higher price, and the Chinese were not easy to mess with.

Another option is to face the Soviet army that is eager to withdraw westward. After weighing the situation, Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, did not dare to fight head-on and got out of the way. He only made side attacks and harassment. In either case, the Soviet Union's outer Xing'an at this moment

Both the Ridge Front Army and the Baikal Front Army should pass through the line from Chita to Irkutsk and continue their westward retreat.

However, what is the current war situation? According to the intelligence obtained from reconnaissance, the Independent Division troops did not engage in large-scale battles with the Soviet army. They only carried out a series of ambush operations to give the Soviet army's leading troops a severe blow.

Afterwards, with millions of troops, the Soviet army stopped on the line from Chita to Irkutsk and stopped withdrawing westward. It is said that it was the landmines of the independent division troops that made it difficult for the Soviet army to move forward?

Faced with a battle situation that was beyond his expectation, Prince Zai Ren was slightly worried. He was worried that the Soviet troops on the two fronts would turn around and return to support Zhukov. If the Soviet army had passed the line from Chita to Irkutsk, they would continue to fight.

Withdrawing westward, there is absolutely no such worry. Even if the Soviets knew that Zhukov's troops were surrounded by the Imperial Japanese Army, they would not have time to return reinforcements.

The current position of the two Soviet troops is very delicate. They turned around to support Zhukov's troops and rushed back to the Far East battlefield. In just one week, they killed more than one million Soviet Far Eastern Front troops. According to Prince Zai Ren's own estimate

, it would take a month at the earliest, which made Prince Zain very uncomfortable.

"Damn China devil, he is very cunning and made his attitude clear. He did not engage in a head-on confrontation with the Soviet army, but he adopted scheming means to strand the Soviet army on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, giving his own Far East campaign

plan, leaving a lot of

There is a huge hidden danger, and this China devil may not take action when the Soviet army turns around to return reinforcements. He would be happy to see the Imperial Japanese Army and the Soviet army consume each other. The Chinese people have always been so despicable and shameless!" Prince Zai Ren!

I thought about it bitterly.
