Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Yamada, the head of the staff headquarters of the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters, was really troubled. A few words at this time would undoubtedly win more political capital and make suggestions for the commander-in-chief, Prince Zain. He came up with a finishing touch.

The position of chief of staff of his headquarters is probably guaranteed.

Major General Yamada, who is accustomed to adapting to the wind and good at seizing opportunities, racked his brains for a long time in unbearable silence and said: "Commander-in-Chief, the staff believes that the immediate priority should be solved as soon as possible.

The stalemate on the battlefield in the Far East, the Soviet reinforcements are still more than a hundred kilometers away, this is our opportunity!"

Major General Yamada's experience and ability only ended here. He could no longer come up with any more clever tricks. Prince Zai Ren glanced at him with displeasure. It was this look that made Major General Yamada immediately shut up.

mouth.

In the eyes of Prince Zairen, Yamada's words are pure nonsense. Could it be that he still can't see the key point of the current battle situation? He didn't say anything. Isn't this guy usually very strategic?

, what is going on today? First he was hesitating, and now he is talking nonsense. It seems that others still can't count on him. Prince Zai Ren walked back and forth in the office several times.

Stopping in his tracks, Prince Zairen said to Major General Yamada: "Yamada-kun, convey my order. First, Lieutenant General Haruhiko, commander of the rearguard group of the Far East Campaign, your department must ensure the smooth progress of the Far East Campaign and return the Soviet troops to reinforcements.

Troops, blocking the front line of the Nov Mountains, second, attacking the Soviet Union

All units of the United Far East Front remain unchanged in their four current attack directions. However, they will mainly focus on rear attacks and frontal attacks, and launch continuous attacks day and night. There is no need to worry about the casualties of the troops. Third, the Kukan Mountains and Buri

The troops on both sides of the sub-mountain range can reduce the attack intensity."

Prince Zain is planning to go all out. The ones responsible for the frontal attack are the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force and the Korean Garrison Army. The ones responsible for the rear offensive are the Japanese Kwantung Army, which is also the main force of the Japanese Far East Campaign. This task is important for

For the Far East Expeditionary Force and the Korean Garrison Army, it was the original mission. There is nothing to say, but for the Kwantung Army, it was a fundamental change in the mission.

The mission of the Japanese Kwantung Army is to prevent the Soviet army from leaping over the wall and attacking Manchuria. In the Far East Campaign, which focused on offense, it was the only defense-focused force. This was also Prince Zain's obvious goodwill and care for the Kwantung Army.

The Kwantung Army troops fought continuously for more than a month, allowing them to rest and regroup and take a breather. Therefore, on the first day of the attack, although the fighting was brutal in the other three directions, the Kwantung Army troops suffered no casualties.

.

However, the Kwantung Army has a good day, that is, one day after May 23, it will soon go into battle. From a practical point of view, it is the same as not resting. This tension and relaxation will affect the Kwantung Army.

The combat consciousness of the soldiers, if it were not for the sudden change of situation in the Far East battlefield, Prince Zain would not have issued such an order.

After Major General Yamada and the staff officer withdrew, Prince Zai Ren was alone in the office, looking in a very bad mood. The two front armies of the Soviet Union really returned to support Zhukov's troops. This definitely exceeded his judgment and expectations, although he had taken the previous measures

Various measures were taken in response to this situation, but once it became a reality, it would still be a big blow to him who thought he had control of the rhythm of the war in the Far East.

For the first time since arriving in the Far East, Prince Zai Ren was extremely worried about the final outcome of the Far East Campaign. The total strength of the three Soviet front armies combined far exceeded the strength of the empire's troops in the Far East. This

It was an asymmetrical encirclement and annihilation war. If the Soviet army

Breaking through the blockade of Haruhiko's troops, the positions of hunters and prey will be transferred immediately. Zhukov's troops are a behemoth. The other two Soviet troops are also behemoths. The three behemoths put together are not commanded by Zai Ren.

The military strength can match it.

The most difficult thing is that the Imperial Army has fully engaged with the Soviet Far East Front. The current battlefield situation makes it impossible for Prince Zai Ren to stop even if he wants to. He can only grit his teeth and keep fighting. The most optimistic estimate is that he can

It inflicted heavy losses on the Soviet Far East Front, and the rear guard group that blocked the attack may suffer all casualties. Then, the Imperial Army must withdraw from the battle, otherwise, it will be surrounded by the Soviets.

It is not easy to pull back the big net that has been cast. Such a foreseeable result made Prince Zai Ren extremely frustrated. He could not understand that the German attack was so fierce and Stalin would order a rush to return.

When the troops on the European battlefield returned to support the Far Eastern Front, which link caused the problem?

As the night deepened, Prince Zai Ren locked himself in his office. Even the delicious dinner that was usually delivered on time could not arouse his appetite. He forced himself to sort out the Far East campaign plan from beginning to end. He felt that there was no

No matter what the problem was, there was no mistake in the deployment of the battle or the judgment of the situation. The only change was the sudden move of the devilish Chinese troops on the line from Chita to Irkutsk.

"Damn China Devil! You ruined all my plans!" Prince Zai Ren cursed ferociously, wishing to bite the Chinese who ruined his good deeds to death. Prince Zai Ren was very confident and could face any opponent, including

That Zhukov could predict the opponent's next move and then take the first move. However, when facing that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, Prince Zai Ren's confidence was shattered again.

He originally concluded that Stalin would not rescue the Far Eastern Front, so he started to lay this big net. As a result, the development of the war situation was completely opposite to what he had judged. Of course, this was mainly because of the China devil.

If it weren't for his troops that blocked the Soviet Union's Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front and Lake Baikal Front on the line from Chita to Irkutsk for many days, this would have been such a big threat.

"By the way, after the Soviet troops from the two fronts began to return for reinforcements, the independent division troops on the line from Chita to Irkutsk should not miss such a good opportunity. Tang Qiuli took action behind the Soviet troops.

Then, the returning Soviet army will attack the battle rearguard group

The pressure was greatly reduced. In fact, the Soviet army was busy dealing with the attack from behind and could not spare any time to come to rescue Zhukov. Wouldn't that be great news!" Prince Zai Ren was greatly moved. He felt that he

I was too pessimistic just now.

"Ring! - Ring!" Prince Zai Ren pressed the telegraph fiercely, and a major staff officer came in and bowed humbly, "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, what are your orders?"

Prince Zai Ren said eagerly: "Inform Major General Bai Chuan, the head of the intelligence department at the headquarters, to come see me immediately!"

After a while, the short Major General Shirakawa ran over panting, stood at attention and saluted, and said: "Commander-in-Chief, do you have any orders for summoning the staff?"

Prince Zai Ren's eyes gleamed with hope, and he asked: "Shirakawa-kun, your intelligence department probably already knows that the Soviet Union's two front troops have begun to return to support the Far East battlefield?"

Major General Shirakawa perked up. His Intelligence Department agents had indeed learned this information, and it was more detailed than the intelligence department of the Far East Campaign Defender Group Command. Just now, he was sorting out this information in his office.

Prepare to report to the prince in person, isn't now an opportunity?

Major General Shirakawa sorted out his thoughts and said: "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the Intelligence Department has indeed learned about this information. The Staff Department will report to you immediately. According to the intelligence, it is learned that the Soviet troops closest to the Empire's Far East Campaign rear guard cluster,

As the vanguard of the Soviet Union's Outer Xing'anling Front, there are two armies, and their designation is the 16th...!" Major General Bai Chuan was proudly showing off his memory.

"That's enough! What I need to know is not this!" Suddenly, Prince Zai Ren shouted, impatiently interrupting Major General Bai Chuan's words.

"Hmm -?" Major General Baichuan shut up in shock and looked at Prince Zairen with confusion. To be honest, he didn't know where he was wrong. He could only blame it on His Royal Highness's recent excessive anger and abnormal personality.

.

Prince Zai Ren was also aware of his gaffe just now. He couldn't blame himself for this. He was so leisurely listening to him talking about irrelevant things. What he wanted to know most now was whether his judgment was correct and whether the devil's troops in China were...

Taking advantage of the Soviet army's return for reinforcements, they took action behind the Soviet army's back. This was a key issue related to the success or failure of the Far East campaign. It was normal to have a rough attitude.

"Um - Mr. Shirakawa, I know that your intelligence department has done a lot of work. What I need to know now is that after the Soviet army began to return to support Zhukov's troops, the independent divisions that have been on the line from Chita to Irkutsk

Troops, what’s going on?”

Major General Shirakawa kept a much lower profile this time and replied: "Commander-in-Chief, the troops of the independent division have already begun to take action!"

Prince Zai Ren's eyes sparkled, and he rushed over, almost in the face of Major General Shirakawa, and asked angrily: "Mr. Shirakawa, please tell me quickly, did the Chinese devil's troops attack the Soviet army?"

Major General Bai Chuan subconsciously leaned back and avoided His Highness as if he was about to bite someone. "Commander-in-Chief, the situation is like this. After the Soviet army began to return reinforcements, the troops of the Independent Division immediately pursued the Soviet army.

It is also heading towards the Far East battlefield. At first, our agents believed that the independent division troops would inevitably start to attack, but after careful reconnaissance, this was not the case!"

Prince Zai Ren's heart trembled nervously. He had a bad feeling. I'm afraid that what the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli did would severely damage his self-confidence and hope. At the same time, he had a bad feeling about this guy Bai Chuan.

He was verbose and very angry. This guy seemed to be deliberately trying to whet his appetite, and shouted loudly again: "Baga--get to the point!"
