Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2172 Unlucky reminder

Before the military meeting held by the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters, there was an unexpected battle for merit. Two army lieutenants drew their swords at each other. After Prince Zai Ren, the commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign, appeared on the scene, the final result made these people even more confused.

The senior Japanese generals were almost stunned. They all had big mouths and a look of astonishment on their faces.

Prince Zairen greatly admired Lieutenant General Haruhiko, the commander of the Third Army of the Far East Expeditionary Force, and dismissed Lieutenant General Kikuchi, the commander of the First Army. In despair, Lieutenant General Kikuchi also risked his life.

Shout out "His Royal Highness is being unfair!"

These words are extremely treasonous. You dare to openly accuse Prince Zai Ren. Who is His Highness the Prince? He has such a noble status, respected position, and great authority. Apart from His Majesty the Emperor, he does not think of anyone else. He can order the army with just one word.

A mid-level and important general will stand up and fall from his horse and disappear, while a low-level general can be suddenly promoted to a higher position. The generals of the three armies under the Far East Campaign Headquarters have experienced honor, disgrace, and relegation, all in the hands of one person.

As soon as Lieutenant General Kikuchi finished speaking, a gloomy cold air suddenly appeared in the conference room, rising from the hearts of the Japanese generals, "Next, His Highness the Prince will definitely be furious. This poor guy Kikuchi will bring down the country."

Damn it! Sure enough, impulse is the devil!"

General Ono Nourigoro was so angry that he was livid. From the bottom of his heart, he still admired Lieutenant General Kikuchi. This guy's commanding style was brave and fierce, and he had the offensive spirit of the Japanese Empire's samurai. The first army was also sent to the Far East.

They are an ace force in the army. Although the words they just said were punishments, they also imply an excuse for the two subordinates. As for the candidate for the replacement of the commander of the First Army by His Royal Highness, Xu Tu dealt with it.

The results may not be that bad.

If it hadn't been for Kikuchi's unexpected appearance, this matter would have been over. As for how to deal with these two bastards after returning to the army, that is a matter within the Far East Expeditionary Force. There is huge room for expansion, and Kikuchi

After shouting this sentence, there is no room for maneuver. It is equivalent to Kikuchi forcing himself into a dead end, and maybe even hurting himself.

General Ono stared at him with burning eyes. Lieutenant General Kikuchi, who was holding his neck and glaring with bull's-eye, with a look of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction on his face, wished he could kick to death this guy who didn't know how to advance or retreat, and didn't know what was good or bad.

A catastrophic guy.

Under this situation, General Ono had to do something. Instead of waiting for His Highness the Prince to get angry and Kikuchi suffer a loss, he might as well take the initiative again and save Kikuchi first.

There are only four people who are important enough to smooth things over in such a scene, but look at their appearance. No one can expect it. The indifference on General Nanjiro's face, his attitude of not caring about himself, is already obvious. Tanaka

The new general’s eyes flickered, and he

With a hint of schadenfreude, the chief of staff of the headquarters, Lieutenant General Shinno Ryūaki, had more black lines on his forehead than he did. The head of the headquarters, the chief of staff, Major General Yamada, had a shady look on his face and drooped eyelids.

It obviously means staying out of the situation.

Gritting his teeth, General Ono could only bite the bullet and rush forward. He yelled: "Baga! - Bastard, how can you talk to the Commander-in-Chief?" Then he rounded his arms again and said, "Bah!"

"The redness and swelling on Lieutenant General Kikuchi's face has not faded yet after he rewarded Lieutenant General Kikuchi with a few big mouths. His whole face looked like a braised pig's head, and even his nose was bleeding.

Prince Zairen looked at all this coldly. When General Ono finished the fight, he still roared. He raised his hand and gave a slight signal. General Ono immediately shut up. Prince Zairen looked at Kikuchi who looked embarrassed.

Will.

After a long time, which was so long that the Japanese generals felt nervous, Prince Zai Ren slowly said: "Unfair treatment? - This is the first time I have heard such words. Okay, very good, you can complain to the base camp.

, However, now you are obviously not qualified to participate in such a military meeting!" Then, he waved his hands in disgust, as if coaxing flies, turned around and walked towards the rostrum, without even glancing at the corners of his eyes, all the seven souls and six souls left their seats.

Lieutenant General Kikuchi.

Chief of Staff Shinye yelled angrily, "Guards!" Four tall and round guards rushed in, "Drag this guy out and lock him in an empty room first. After the meeting is over, I will deal with him personally!"

Lieutenant General Shinno roared angrily.

Four guards came up and set them up like a zombie. Lieutenant General Kikuchi, who was stunned on the spot, left. All the Japanese generals lamented in their hearts, "This guy Kikuchi is completely finished. What kind of punishment will he receive next?

There’s no way to guess, but the result will definitely be disastrous!”

Lieutenant General Haruhiko on the side, Akatsuki was alert, but he was also confused by this series of changes. It was only then that he came to his senses. No matter how he said it, he had something to do with it. Kikuchi was unlucky, and he didn't express it at all.

None. What image does it look like in the eyes of Prince Zai Ren and so many generals?

Lieutenant General Haruhiko took a step forward and said with a deeply saddened expression, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, sirs, this happened because of Haruhiko. Haruhiko feels that he is not to blame. Please punish him, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!"

This move is very beautiful. It is called retreating to advance, and he takes the initiative to stretch his face for Prince Zairen to hit. It is much more acceptable and comfortable than the stubborn donkey Kikuchi's approach. As expected, Prince Zairen slightly

Smiling, he said softly: "

Haruhiko-kun, don't say any more. I have a general understanding of what happened just now. It has nothing to do with you. It's all about that bastard Kikuchi provoking trouble. How can I punish you? Okay, go back to your seat. The meeting is about to begin.

here we go!"

After saying that, Prince Zairen, who was smiling all over, stepped forward in an extremely rare move, patted Lieutenant General Haruhiko's shoulder affectionately, and gave him an encouraging look. Everything seemed like a dream, and Lieutenant General Haruhiko's head was full of thoughts.

With messy thoughts and a blank mind, he returned to his seat unconsciously and pinched his thigh hard. Severe pain brought him back to reality.

Looking up at Prince Zai Ren, who was sitting at the top of the throne, the complex emotions in my heart could not be expressed in words. They were both heartfelt excitement and flattery, and also the unpredictable and incomprehensible feeling towards someone in a high position.

The fear of the mind.

After Prince Zai Ren took his seat, he glanced around the entire audience with sharp eyes. Under this aggressive look, all the Japanese generals with heavy troops in their hands couldn't help but lower their heads, "It should be the announcement of the attack on that unlucky guy Kikuchi."

Has the punishment been decided?" They secretly guessed in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, everyone guessed wrong again. Prince Zai Ren did not mention the problem just now, but went straight to the topic, "Gentlemen, as the Far East campaign reaches the final stage, please take your time from the busy war."

There is only one thing to do when the front lines are transferred back, and that is how to completely annihilate the Soviet Far East Front Army in the shortest possible time with the lowest casualties of imperial soldiers! Next, Major General Yamada, head of the staff headquarters of the Far Eastern Campaign Headquarters, announced

Battle deployment and orders!”

The Japanese generals below did not react much. They were all the commanders of the headquarters anyway, but Chief of Staff Shinno turned pale and his head buzzed. It was his duty as chief of staff to announce the battle deployment and orders.

However, His Royal Highness was handed over to Yamada, a guy with ulterior motives who was not even the deputy chief of staff. Is there something fishy in it?

Ignoring Chief of Staff Shinno's resentful eyes, Major General Yamada opened the folder and announced the campaign deployment and orders in an unhurried but sonorous manner.

Zai Ren personally formulated the final general attack plan against the Soviet Far East Front. It was very simple and direct. The general attack time was set at dawn on May 20. The specific plan was to dispatch troops to the Far East and North Korean garrison troops.

, from the current position, press forward across the board, leaving no gap at the junction of the two armies.

Choosing to launch a general attack on the Soviet Far East Front five days later at dawn on May 21st, Prince Zai Ren had no choice but to do so. It would take about four days at the fastest for the two troops compressed to arrive at the scheduled time.

In the attack launch area, time is already very tight. There is only one day to prepare for the attack, which is a bit hasty. However, Prince Zain must do this. In his words, "Delay will lead to change!"

The troops of the Kwantung Army retreated more than 50 kilometers on the existing front and deployed blocking lines at favorable terrain to block the Soviet army's escape into Manchuria. This order greatly exceeded the expectations of General Nanjiro.

He was very reluctant to withdraw the Kwantung Army troops who were fighting smoothly from the line of fire. However, based on his trust in Prince Zain's command ability and his accurate grasp of the battle situation, General Nanjiro remained silent.

As long as Prince Zai Ren makes such a deployment, he understands why he is doing this to prevent Zhukov from jumping over the wall in a hurry and continuing to break out in the direction of Chita when surrounded by imperial troops on all sides. There is no way out at all. Then, think about it from another perspective.

Will Zhukov make a desperate move, burn all boats, turn south, break through the Kwantung Army's positions, advance into Manchuria, and have a big fight?

If it were other Soviet generals, Prince Zai Ren would never think this way, but Zhukov, he was absolutely worried. He could use any means to get out. There were not many imperial troops left in Manchuria.

More than ten thousand Soviet troops marched into Manchuria. Even if they were completely wiped out in the end, the damage and impact they could cause would be far-reaching. Therefore, they had to be prepared for Zhukov's attack.

On both sides of the Breya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains, the Far East Expeditionary Force and the North Korean garrison troops attacked a force of more than 200,000, and continued to suppress the actions of the Soviet Far East Front on the left and right wings. The specific tactics were to use

The uninterrupted attacks made the Soviet army restless. Of course, the main task of these two troops was to guard all the passages of the mountain pass on both sides and prevent the Soviet army from breaking out from these two directions.
