Age of Conquest Reborn

The general campaign deployment was arranged in place, and then came the specific combat tasks of each army. This part was quite extensive. It took nearly an hour to formulate the campaign plan, which was very detailed and even specific.

It is stipulated that the distance a certain unit of that battle cluster needs to advance in one day, as well as when to occupy that important location, the distance between adjacent units on the left and right, etc., are all clearly stated in the campaign plan.

It can be seen that for this decisive battle, Prince Zain took great pains to kill the Far Eastern Front in one fell swoop and exhausted a lot of brain cells. Major General Yamada, head of the staff headquarters of the Far Eastern Campaign Headquarters, read out the order.

The venue fell silent, and the Japanese generals were all thinking about their respective tasks.

Prince Zai Ren glanced at the faces of the generals, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Gentlemen, the battle plan has been determined. All the troops will just follow the orders from the headquarters and execute them. This will be a great battle."

This is a decisive battle recorded in the history of the Japanese Empire's overseas conquests. I hope that in this battle, you will be able to establish immortal merits for the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!"

All the Japanese generals thought that this was the concluding remarks of His Highness the Prince, and they immediately clapped vigorously. The thunderous applause almost broke through the roof. After the applause subsided, Prince Zai Ren's face showed a

The solemn expressions made all the Japanese generals feel nervous and confused.

Prince Zairen said slowly: "Gentlemen, what Chief Yamada just announced was only the specific deployment of the Far East battlefield. However, I remind you not to forget that the enemies of the Far Eastern Imperial Army are not just Zhukov's Far Eastern Front troops.

There are also the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, as well as the Soviet Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front and Lake Baikal Front that are still lingering on the line from Chita to Irkutsk. They have ignored these two groups of enemies. We will suffer a loss!"

Prince Zai Ren's words were like a wake-up call, suddenly waking up the Japanese generals who were immersed in encircling and annihilating the Soviet Far East Front Army and were about to win a great victory. They could not help but cast admiring eyes on His Highness the Prince. As the Far East Imperial Army was about to

In the case of a great victory, who else has such a clear mind as His Highness?

Prince Zai Ren smiled slightly and accepted these glances naturally. In fact, in his heart, the two Soviet front troops blocked by the Independent Division troops on the line from Chita to Irkutsk were indeed

All his heart ailments are as long as one of them

If the front troops turned back to rescue Zhukov's troops, the outcome of the Far East Campaign would not be different if both Soviet front troops turned back to rescue. Even with the wisdom of Prince Zairen, he could only watch helplessly as Zhukov's troops

was rescued.

When formulating the final general attack plan for the Far East Campaign, this uncertain factor troubled him for a long time. In his overall plan for the Far East Campaign, this unexpected occurrence was beyond his prediction. According to normal circumstances, at this time.

The Soviet Trans-Xinganling Front Army and the Baikal Front Army, with more than two million troops, should be on the Minusinsk front line, preparing to cross the Ural Mountains.

It was that China devil Tang Qiuli, who was on the line from Chita to Irkutsk. He suddenly made such a move, which caused the Soviet army to linger here for a long time. This distance is not far, nor is it close. Anyway,

If the Soviet army wants to return to aid the Far East Front, then after launching the general attack, the Soviet army will definitely be able to rush to the battlefield at the most critical moment. I believe that by then, Zhukov's troops will be very few left. However,

It's never total annihilation.

This is not just a matter of regret, but that his Far East campaign plan failed to end perfectly and the effect was greatly reduced. This is something Prince Zain does not want to see. He must take corresponding measures to avoid such a situation.

As a result, Prince Zai Ren hated Tang Qiuli even more deeply.

"Gentlemen, this is a problem that cannot be ignored. When we launch the final general attack of the Far East Campaign, we must avoid such a situation. Therefore, I have formulated another targeted plan!" Prince Zai Ren talked eloquently.

said.

All the Japanese generals pricked up their ears to see if His Highness the Prince had any clever plans. Minister Yamada's eyes jumped, and a trace of doubt disappeared. Even he didn't know this plan. Why?

He couldn't help but speculate. All kinds of judgments were passing through Major General Yamada's mind like lightning. However, even though he racked his brains to think about it, he couldn't figure it out. Compared with the thoughtful Major General Yamada, he couldn't help but speculate.

,Xinye

Chief of Staff, there are not so many Xiao Jiujiuer, and he is not surprised. What nonsense is this? The general attack plan for the Far East Campaign was all done by His Highness behind closed doors, let alone another plan.

,normal!

Prince Zai Ren stood up and glanced at the large military map on the left wall. Finally, he stopped at the portrait of Emperor Hirohito hanging high in the back. He turned around and seemed to be talking to his brother, the emperor.

During the silent exchange, all the senior Russian military officers present did not dare to speak out, as if they felt a sacred and mysterious feeling from His Highness the Prince's actions.

After a while, Prince Zai Ren turned around and said firmly: "Order, the Far East Expeditionary Force will mobilize three divisions of troops, and the Korean Garrison Army will mobilize three divisions of troops to form a rearguard battle group with a strength of two.

More than 100,000 people are deployed in the current area, and their only mission is to monitor every move of the two Soviet fronts from Chita to Irkutsk!"

"I would like to explain in particular that the task of the rearguard battle group may seem easy, but in fact it contains huge dangers. Once the Soviet army returns to support Zhukov's troops, the task of the six divisions is to resolutely block the Soviet army in the deployment area.

Remember, you must prevent the returning Soviet troops from returning reinforcements. Without my personal order, even if we fight to the death of every soldier, we cannot retreat even half a step!"

Having said this, the Japanese generals completely understood that if the Soviet troops of the two fronts did not return to support Zhukov's troops, the imperial troops of these six divisions would get a good job and would not have to go to the battlefield to fight with the Soviet troops.

Fight to death or alive, once the Soviet troops return to reinforce

, that is, even if you risk your life, you must still stay on the blocking line, and all the troops must not retreat. The total strength of the returning Soviet troops is more than two million people. The strength ratio is ten to one. The rearguard battle cluster.

It is destined to be the fate of killing the last soldier.

From this point of view, the divisions assigned to the rearguard battle cluster were unlucky troops. The mood of the Japanese generals began to become complicated, and they were more or less wondering whether their troops would be organized into the rearguard battle cluster.

In the order of battle?

Prince Zai Ren saw the reaction of the generals, his eyes became cold and stern, and he said sternly: "Once a battle breaks out, as for when the rearguard battle group will withdraw from the blocking line, I can tell you with certainty that the Soviet Union will be completely annihilated.

After the Far Eastern Front troops, therefore, the troops responsible for the general attack on the Soviet Far Eastern Front should work harder and not let the soldiers of the Imperial Army shed more blood because of our delay!"

Hundreds of Japanese generals were startled. Prince Zain continued: "In order to strengthen the command of the rearguard battle group and facilitate the unified coordination of the actions of the troops, I have decided that Lieutenant General Shinno Ryūaki, Chief of Staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, will concurrently serve as commander.

After the meeting, together with Commander Ono and Commander Tanaka, we will study the mobilization of that force. The formation of the rearguard battle group must be completed before noon tomorrow!"

After saying these words, Zai Ren looked at Lieutenant General Shinno, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, and asked gently: "Shinye-kun, what do you think?"

Lieutenant General Shinno hurriedly stood up, puffed out his chest and belly, and replied impassionedly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the Ministry will definitely live up to its trust. Once the Soviet army returns to support, it will definitely prevent the Soviet army from getting close to the battlefield in the Far East, even if it is

We will not hesitate to sacrifice our lives to pieces! It is the honor of a soldier to be loyal to the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Yo Xi! - Ninye-kun, as long as you are determined like this, I can rest assured. The safety of the rearguard of the attacking force will be entrusted to Ninye-kun!" As he said this, Zai Ren solemnly looked towards Chief of Staff Ninye.

Bow.

Chief of Staff Shinno hurriedly bowed back, his face was calm, but his heart was anything but calm and he sat down. To be honest, Lieutenant General Shinye Ryūzhao’s mood at the moment was hard to describe. It was more than a dozen times full of mixed emotions.

The taste was filled with joy and sorrow, which made his heart feel as uncomfortable as boiling oil.

Lieutenant General Shinno never expected that His Highness the Prince would order his own general without asking for his opinion in advance. Suddenly, such a move came. Was it a disaster or an unexpected blessing? Even Amaterasu couldn't tell clearly. In his heart, he had already

It's a mess like paste.

If the Soviet army does not return reinforcements, everything will be easy to say. The Far East Campaign is successfully over, and naturally the rearguard battle group will not be able to take credit for its contribution. As a concurrent commander, he can also be ranked in terms of merit and rewards. However, once the Soviet army returns,

Aid, that’s two

There are more than a million Soviet soldiers who are like wolves and tigers. The strength ratio is ten to one, and they cannot retreat even half a step. As a lieutenant general, chief of staff and commander, he has to stare at the blocking line and fight to the last soldier.

With one pawn, wouldn’t he also be in pieces?

Chief of Staff Shinye had countless thoughts running through his head, painfully weighing the risks and benefits. However, with his IQ, experience, and little brain power, he could not tell whether it was a blessing or a curse. He could only worry about the gains and losses.

There is one more thing in his heart. He doesn't fully understand. Why did His Highness choose himself instead of that guy Yamada?

Chief of Staff Shinye only cared about his own petty thoughts. He did not listen to what Prince Zain said next. He pondered over and over again about this appointment without warning. The position of commander had both dangers and opportunities.

The appointment of the chief of staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters to concurrently serve as the commander of a temporarily formed force was already beyond the expectations of the Japanese generals. Next, another appointment by Prince Zain made the Japanese generals even more stunned.

At the same time, eyeballs fell all over the place.
