Age of Conquest Reborn

Out of concern that the Soviet Trans-Xinganling Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army stranded on the line from Chita to Irkutsk might return to aid Zhukov's troops, Prince Zai Ren, Chief of General Staff of the Japanese Base Camp and Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Campaign, announced during the battle

In terms of plan, major adjustments were made, and more than a dozen divisions from three armies were transferred back. In this way, the number of troops Zai Ren used to resist reinforcements reached nearly 700,000.

Although it is still at a disadvantage compared with the strength of the Soviet Union's two front armies, it undoubtedly adds a safety factor to the battle to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Far East Front Army. After issuing a series of orders, Prince Zai Ren's worries that he has been feeling are undoubtedly put aside.

I drank most of the sake in the glass in one gulp, lay down half on the chair, and started to take a nap. After a while, I began to snore.

And Major General Yamada, who was supported by the guards and exited Prince Zairen's office, felt regretful in his heart. He is a thoughtful person. He considers everything carefully and weighs the interests just right. But what happened today? Let's take this.

Speaking of things, if the development of the war situation is the same as what he said, then everything will be fine, and the great achievements will not be lost.

But in case, the two Soviet front armies did not return reinforcements, and the battle to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Far East Front Army was dragged on for a long time due to insufficient troops, new changes occurred in the war situation, resulting in the failure of the Far East campaign plan, Prince Zai Ren first

The only one he found was himself. Do you need a scapegoat? You can ruin your newly promising military future by interfering with the commander's strategic decision-making!

After serving in the Imperial Army for many years, you don’t see similar things very often. In that defeat, several generals were killed. Otherwise, how to calm the anger of the people? Although the probability of victory and defeat is half, but it is accustomed to

Major General Yamada, who seeks good fortune and avoids misfortune, dislikes this all-or-nothing gambling approach. It is an approach taken by people with insufficient brains or short-sightedness, such as Chief of Staff Shinno and his ilk!

I often walk by the river and my shoes don't get wet. The more I think about it, the more I regret it. Why do I keep talking like this? I honestly don't know. His Highness the Prince can't do anything to me, and he won't let it go.

Major General Yamada was so upset that he wanted to cry for underestimating himself. With a crisp sound of "pop!", he couldn't help but give himself a big mouthful.

Huh, in the silent corridor, there was such a big movement that the two guards who were supporting him were startled and asked hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Chief Minister, what's wrong with you?"

Major General Yamada said fiercely: "Mosquitoes, isn't it enough for me, General, to kill mosquitoes?"

The two guards were dizzy and looked around, but they saw Major General Yamada walking forward blankly. The two guards hurriedly chased after him.

You have a fever and are confused, this season. Where are the mosquitoes coming from?"

On the land of the Far East, the commanders of the two Japanese combat groups who were rushing to the battlefield at full speed received orders from Prince Zain and immediately separated into two troops and turned around and returned. However, whether it was General Ono, the commander of the Far East Expeditionary Force,

General Tanaka, the commander of the North Korean garrison, was very dissatisfied with the sudden change of deployment of the campaign headquarters.

These two troops were responsible for the main task of attacking the Soviet Far East Front. First, they each sent a surprise force of more than 100,000 people to insert into the two wings of the Soviet army. Now, they have transferred several divisions to face more than 100 troops.

The Wansu army was slightly under-strength, and it would be much more difficult to fight. They intended to raise objections, but did not put them into action. Everyone knew that the commander-in-chief, Prince Zai Ren, had an arbitrary temper.

Lieutenant General Guo Haruhiko, who received the new appointment as deputy commander-in-chief of the Far East Expeditionary Force, was not at ease. He saw a clue from Prince Zairen's temporary change of deployment. I am afraid that the Imperial Army's Far East campaign will eventually end.

The key and most difficult battle must be fought in our own hands. The two Soviet front troops must have returned to support the Far East battlefield. I was ordered to do so in a critical situation. There were too many things that needed to be done!

The anxious Lieutenant General Haruhiko did not turn around and return with the brigade. Instead, in front of several staff officers, he arrived at the Battle Guard Group Headquarters ahead of the troops. When he arrived at the headquarters, he was greeted by Chief of Staff Shinno with a sour expression.

.

The current chief of staff of Shinno is definitely full of depression and anger. This emotion comes from all aspects. Lieutenant General Shinno feels that he has been marginalized. Originally, the position of commander of the battle rear guard group that was temporarily put together was withdrawn.

It's not a big deal if he withdraws. It's a frightening position anyway, but His Royal Highness, the Prince, doesn't allow himself to return to the headquarters. How can a dignified lieutenant general and chief of staff be an idle observation officer?

Lieutenant General Shinno, who was in a bad mood, viewed his mission with a perfunctory attitude. After taking up his new position, he paid no attention to the combat preparations of the battle rear guard group and just let several divisions under him

The commander was thinking about it by himself, and even the battle rear guard group did not even formulate a complete defense plan. Fortunately, he was still the commander, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks.

Now, even this unlucky commander's throne has to be given to someone else, to Lieutenant General Haruhiko, who has suddenly risen to a higher position. In the eyes of Chief of Staff Shinno, this is a guy who has got bad luck. Therefore, facing

The new commander has arrived, and I can't be in a good mood!

Lieutenant General Niino, who was full of thoughts, handed over the work in just a few words, without even a few polite words. Lieutenant General Haruhiko knew why his boss was unhappy, so he didn't care too much. However, after inspecting the battle rearguard

After the cluster's combat preparations, Lieutenant General Haruhiko was completely angry.

I don’t know what Chief of Staff Shinye has been doing for more than a week. The entire defensive front does not even have the most basic defense depth. Troops from several divisions are scattered in places in the east and west.

As for the trenches, shelters, firepower points, and the basic defensive facilities that should be in place, they have just begun to take shape, but according to his own estimation, they cannot even withstand a single artillery shell from the Soviet army.

After walking around all the army positions, Lieutenant General Haruhiko was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. If the Soviet army returned to support now, and more than two million Soviet soldiers came overwhelmingly, the battle rearguard group would be wiped out immediately.

spring

Lieutenant General Yan asked several division commanders what the reason was. The division commanders looked helpless and described the attitude of Chief of Staff Shinye in detail. The current scale of fortifications was still several

The division commander did it himself.

Lieutenant General Haruhiko almost vomited blood. He had never seen such an irresponsible commander. He was just kidding with the lives of hundreds of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers. He wanted to argue with Lieutenant General Shinno, but then he thought about it and asked

Such people are just wasting time and reporting the truth to the campaign headquarters. He has just assumed a new position and is suspected of being a snitch. Lieutenant General Haruhiko has no choice but to start from scratch.

Lieutenant General Haruhiko was a Japanese general with great military qualities. Under his personal command and planning, hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers fought day and night. Within a few days, between the Far East battlefield and Chita and Irkutsk,

, a blocking line with a depth of tens of kilometers has basically taken shape. This blocking line has brought great trouble to the Transkhinggan Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Front Army, which are about to return to support the Soviet Far East Front Army.

After the battle began, in order to break through the Japanese blocking line, about 100,000 soldiers from the Soviet Union's External Xing'anling Front Army and Lake Baikal Front Army fell here, gaining more than a week for the Japanese army to besiege Zhukov's troops.

Lieutenant General Haruhiko was indispensable.

Prince Zai Ren divided all the Japanese troops in the Far East into two parts: resistance and siege. He could attack Zhukov's troops with confidence.

The Soviet Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army, which were blocked on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, immediately stopped breaking through the independent division blockade after receiving the order from the headquarters. The troops were slightly reorganized and the rearguard became the forward.

, more than two million Soviet troops, like the ebbing sea water, fought their way back to the battlefield in the Far East.

After receiving the order from the headquarters, General Kilganin, the commander of the Transkhinggan Mountains Front, and General Gregaliev, the commander of the Baikal Front, had different moods. A stone fell in General Kilganin's heart. He and Zhukov

The general had a close friendship with him, so naturally he didn't want to see the Far East Front troops being eaten up by the Japanese army. In his heart, he strongly advocated returning reinforcements, but without orders, he could only act in a hurry.

Now, the order finally came, and the actions of the Outer Xing'an Mountain Front Army were very rapid. In comparison, the actions of the Baikal Front Army were a bit slow. On the one hand, because they were far away from the Far East battlefield, more than a million troops turned around.

It takes time. On the other hand, the commander, General Gregariff, does not agree with returning to support the Far Eastern Front. He has no personal relationship with Zhukov, but he is a close friend with the commander of the Outer Mongolia Front, General Vasilevsky.

He didn't really like Zhukov, who had always outshone his old friend in the limelight. Moreover, he was both the commander of the front army and had the rank of general, but he was subordinate to Zhukov and commanded by him. He felt a little uncomfortable. Furthermore, he thought

Returning to support the European battlefield was much more important than rescuing the Far Eastern Front. Therefore, after receiving the order from the headquarters, General Gregariff's actions became less active.

Reflected in the action, the distance between the two returning Soviet troops inadvertently widened, with a difference of more than two days. And this distance had a greater impact on the Soviet-Japanese battlefield in the Far East than anyone else.

of expectation.

In the frontline headquarters of the Independent Division in Kulun, Outer Mongolia, division commander Tang Qiuli seemed very leisurely. Just now, Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, sent five telegrams. They were from the bluffing five directly affiliated corps in the Ural Mountains and Tangnu Mountains.

The brigade commanders each sent it.
