Age of Conquest Reborn

The combat meeting of the Third Army of Japan's Far East Expeditionary Force was full of doubts. Lieutenant General Haruhiko Taichi, the new commander of the Third Army, seemed to be unable to convince the public. His approach to troop deployment was met with criticism from four lieutenant generals.

The group leader unanimously opposed it.

When the four veteran division commanders of the Third Army were giving long speeches, Lieutenant General Haruhiko, who looked more like a university professor than a soldier, had a calm face. He never interrupted or interrupted their speeches. Only the few closest to him

An officer captured a few rays of coldness hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses of His Excellency the Commander.

The venue calmed down. Lieutenant General Haruhiko stood up slowly, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, wiped them slowly, and put them on again. Then, he raised his head, faced the eyes of dozens of officers, and smiled gently.

, said in a warm tone: "Gentlemen, have you finished speaking? I have some other ideas!"

No one answered, and they were noisy for dozens of minutes. Everything that needed to be said was put on the table. The Japanese officers' eyes were focused on his face, wanting to see how the commander would handle this.

No matter what he said, if he could not persuade or suppress the arrogance of the four veteran division commanders, Lieutenant General Haruhiko's prestige would be ruined in the future, and his life in the Third Army would never be easy.

Seeing that the officers' eyes were all focused on him and no one answered, Lieutenant General Haruhiko smiled slightly and said, "Pah——!" There was a sudden muffled sound, and Lieutenant General Haruhiko slapped his palm on the table, shaking the

Get something on the table

Xi, Lao Gao jumped up, which shocked the officers attending the meeting. Including the four division commanders who had just failed to save face for the Commander, they were also shocked. They looked at Haruhiko who suddenly went berserk with doubts.

Will.

Lieutenant General Haruhiko's face could no longer see that warm smile, but it was so cold that it made people's hearts tighten. "Gentlemen, what you just said has its own truth. What you said is also the actual situation.

The Third Army is a force with very weak combat effectiveness and soldiers with very little combat experience. It is also a weak brigade in the combat sequence of the Far East Expeditionary Force. This was already understood when I accepted the appointment of the Military Command Department!"

"However, I feel sad and shameful about the speeches and thoughts of your four division commanders just now. The ace unit of the Imperial Japanese Army did not fight the enemy in bloody battles and after countless baptisms of fire.

I just grew up. Therefore, your suggestions seem to make sense.

Reason, blindly seek stability, and think about retreat before fighting. In fact, you have lost the courage and indomitable spirit of a general of the Japanese Empire, and lost the spirit of bushido. If the third army is in your hands

Here, we will always be the object of ridicule by other troops!"

Lieutenant General Haruhiko's words pierced the four division commanders who had just been chatting like an awl. They felt uncomfortable and their faces were a little hot. However, it did not mean that they agreed with Lieutenant General Haruhiko's words. "Who can't tell lies?"

Ah. Fighting requires strength!"

Lieutenant General Haruhiko ignored their disdainful looks. He changed his previous gentleness, and his eyes flashed with a bloody cold light. "The Third Army needs a huge and complete victory to establish a strong position within the Far East Expeditionary Force."

The soldiers of the Japanese Empire also need the blood of the enemy to inspire the bravery in their hearts. I have made up my mind. You don’t need to say more. According to the previous deployment, hurry up and prepare for the battle!"

Whoa! It was unexpected. I didn’t expect that this seemingly weak Commander Haruhiko would have such a bloody side. The Japanese officers who participated in the meeting felt strange in their hearts and looked at Lieutenant General Haruhiko’s face.

There was more fear deliberately hidden in his eyes, of course, excluding the four division commanders who were unconvinced.

Of course, Lieutenant General Haruhiko saw the reactions of the officers, and his tone became more and more cold, saying: "This is an order from the military headquarters. If any of you here have doubts about the order, or think that

If it is too risky, you can resign and not participate in the battle here. I will never embarrass him and approve it immediately! If there is no objection, when executing the combat order, I don’t want to see undesirable situations happen. Although Haruhiko firmly believes in being kind to others,

But I don’t mind killing anyone!”

These words were very domineering and categorical, blocking all room for maneuver. The words were polite, but the subtext was unambiguous, "It's okay not to do it. Hand over the command and get out immediately. If you want to do it, you have to do it."

Listen to me!" At the end, there is also a murderous warning. If the blind one is causing trouble for me behind my back, or is doing it in disguise, then don't blame me for being ruthless and sacrificing the head of one of you!

Lieutenant General Haruhiko's words were all said for this reason. Even the four senior division commanders who were feeling very uncomfortable did not dare to confront him face to face. They could only listen to them without paying attention and did not dare to answer a word.

, after all, what is the difference between job positions? The trouble that the boss wants to cause can't be easily solved.

Come on, there is no need to think about it now. The four people in their early years all quietly turned into turtles. The other officers did not even dare to make a fuss. They stood up together and responded loudly: "Hai! - I'm sincere.

I will obey the orders of His Majesty the Commander and serve the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor, even to the death!"

The listless figures of Soviet soldiers, like swarms of ants scattered in the sunset, appeared one after another in Lieutenant General Haruhiko's telescope. He put down the telescope with a smile of eagerness and passion on his lips, "Finally here, the first

The history of the three armies will be rewritten by this battle, and those mediocre guys will be ashamed of their short-sightedness and cowardice!" Everything that happened at the military meeting always made Lieutenant General Haruhiko brooding and uncomfortable!

A senior staff officer hurriedly walked into the shelter and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have received information from the search force. The Soviet troops heading to the east bank of the Aldan River this time are designated as the 15th Army of the Soviet Far East Front. The commander is Assi."

Lieutenant General Love

, the first thing that came into our sight was the strength of one division of the vanguard of the First Army of the group army. The main force of the Soviet army was about 60 kilometers away from the vanguard division. The two division commanders on the preset positions asked for instructions whether to ask for instructions.

Annihilate this part of the Soviet army?"

Lieutenant General Haruhiko couldn't help but frown. He was very dissatisfied with the short-sightedness and impatience of the two division commanders. "You still boast that you are veterans who have experienced battles for a long time. The troops of the two divisions are setting up an ambush. Is it just for the sake of this?"

A division of the Soviet army exposed their own campaign intentions, and these guys are not worthy of their reputation!" Lieutenant General Haruhiko deeply despised those senior division commanders in his heart.

Lieutenant General Haruhiko did not pay attention to the staff officer's words, but asked: "Where are the two divisions that detoured to the left and right wings of the Soviet army now?"

The colonel's staff replied succinctly: "Commander, according to their telegram, we can reach the predetermined position and launch an attack on the Soviet army in another hour!"

"吆西!——Order, the troops on the frontal position will each send a brigade of troops to block the Soviet army for thirty minutes, and then withdraw to the position. The main force will continue to hide. No attack can be launched without my order. Order the artillery brigade of the army.

, artillery regiments of all divisions, prepare for bombardment!" Lieutenant General Haruhiko gave a concise order.

The senior staff officer opened his mouth and hesitated to convey the order immediately. He seemed to think that the commander's order was a bit inappropriate. According to the current marching speed of the Soviet army, they might be on the frontal position in an hour.

The Imperial Army's soldiers were screwed. How could they maintain concealment? Moreover, the Soviet Army was a division and only dispatched two brigades. Isn't that almost akin to death?

"Huh?" Lieutenant General Haruhiko snorted sinisterly, and the senior staff officer trembled and left in a hurry.

Twenty minutes later, in the afterglow of dusk on the Far East prairie, a burst of fierce gunfire suddenly rang out, shaking the blood-red sky. The unprepared leading troops of the 15th Group Army of the Soviet Army were suddenly attacked.

The formation was in chaos at that time. The Soviet soldiers jumped out of the truck in a mess. They didn't know how many Japanese troops were in front of them, let alone why the Japanese suddenly appeared in Aldan and the east coast area.

However, after all, they were troops fought on the battlefield with rich combat experience. The Soviet division commander quickly understood the situation. The Japanese troops in front were not many. After a brief panic, the Soviet soldiers established positions and dispatched

The troops of the two regiments launched an attack on the Japanese troops of the two brigades. Although the Japanese soldiers had fewer troops, they counterattacked without showing any weakness, and the gunfire became more intense.

Twenty minutes later, the Soviet division artillery built a simple artillery position in the shortest possible time. "Boom!" As the first artillery shell roared towards the Japanese army, a few minutes later, groups of artillery shells came.

, kept falling on the positions of two large groups of Japanese troops, the Japanese soldiers were flying with blood and flesh, and the battle on the east bank of the Aldan River officially kicked off.

The telegram from the front line quickly flew to the hands of Lieutenant General Asilov, the commander of the 15th Group Army. After reading the contents of the telegram quickly, Lieutenant General Asilov's scalp exploded and the hairs all over his body stood up.

, "What was supposed to come finally came! But, under unexpected circumstances, the battle suddenly broke out!"

What he was worried about was not the encounter in the area on the east bank of the Aldan River. The telegram from the vanguard had already stated that the strength of the Japanese army was only three to four thousand. However, it also illustrated a serious problem.

With tens of thousands of troops, the presence of Japanese troops in an area scheduled for battle defense is not a good sign!

Lieutenant General Asilov immediately made a judgment that this was the Japanese army mentioned in the enemy situation report of the front army headquarters, and the one who exchanged fire with the leading division was the Japanese army's leading force, which meant that the Japanese army had arrived

After reaching the west bank of the Aldan River, you can cross the river at any time and launch an attack on the 15th Army. The top priority is to immediately establish a blocking line on the east bank of the Aldan River to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the river!
