Age of Conquest Reborn

If something goes wrong, it must be a monster. Judging from the experience of General Gregariff, the independent division troops will not withdraw without any reason. They have been following their troops for many days. Those short statures, sallow skin, and round black eyes always have a smile on their face.

They are Chinese people who are shining with cunning. They withdrew without taking any advantage. They would not believe it even if they beat themselves to death.

The Chief of Staff of the Front Army on the other end of the phone was overwhelmed by the roar of the comrade commander, but he still believed that the reconnaissance troops he sent out would not and would not dare to tell such a big lie.

The reconnaissance troops lied, but the more than a dozen reconnaissance troops sent out all told such big lies, and the caliber was surprisingly consistent. Isn't it too shocking?

"Comrade Commander, after receiving the report, I also doubted its authenticity. Therefore, I sent more than a dozen reconnaissance troops in all directions, along the retreat route of the independent division troops, and went out to the vicinity of Chita. I found

The Chinese really retreated, and they did not cover up the traces of their retreat at all. The reconnaissance troops did not find any other signs of conspiracy by the independent division troops, so this should be conclusive information!" explained the chief of staff.

General Gregariff was even more convinced of his judgment, and the independent division troops retreated with great fanfare, as if he was afraid that he didn't know. Why? It didn't make sense. What was the reason that prompted the Chinese to evacuate like this? After thinking about it, my head was spinning.

It hurts, and I can't think of a reasonable explanation. Therefore, it can only be explained by saying that there is a conspiracy!

"That's enough. I don't want to hear such stupid words again. According to my order, the rearguard troops immediately entered combat mode. Maybe in the next moment, Chinese artillery shells will fall on your heads. The frontline troops are trying their best to break through the Japanese blockade.

At this critical moment, don't let an illusion full of deception lead to our failure!" General Gregariff rudely interrupted the chief of staff's explanation.

Probably feeling that his attitude was too rough, General Gregariff softened his tone and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, given the complex situation of the Far East battlefield, we would rather believe that this is a huge conspiracy of the Chinese. Don't believe it.

The Chinese really gave up the opportunity to attack us. Since we can't explain the reason, just prepare for a fierce battle!"

"Comrade Commander, the Eleventh Army that attacked the Japanese blocking line reported that the Japanese army's firepower was very fierce and the attack was blocked. The troops suffered heavy casualties. The commander of the army requested that the troops temporarily stop the attack and adjust their deployment before launching the attack again!"

A staff officer reported.

General Gregariff, who was upset by the sudden withdrawal of the Independent Division troops, became furious when he heard this, and said in a sinister tone: "Give the Eleventh Army an order to maintain the offensive, no matter what the cost, even if

Even if we are exhausted, we will die on the way to the charge, including the commander of the group army! Order that the 12th Army Group immediately enter the starting point of the attack. After the 11th Group Army loses its combat effectiveness, immediately enter the battle!"

General Gregariff spared no expense. If one group of armies was wiped out, then another one would be added. Even if the corpses of soldiers were piled up, the Japanese trenches would also be filled. Today, no matter what, we must break through the Japanese blocking line and become independent.

The sudden withdrawal of the division troops gave him a smell of conspiracy. If he could not break through the Japanese blockade and the independent division troops behind launched an attack, the Outer Xing'anling Front Army would really be doomed. Let alone rescue, I am afraid that it would not be able to protect itself!

In fact, it is not surprising that General Gregariff judged like this. When Molotov went to Kulun to negotiate, he had no way of knowing what the outcome would be. Naturally, he would not rashly notify the various units of the inevitable withdrawal of the independent division troops, just in case.

If the negotiation fails, wouldn't it be a big deal?

Even after the negotiations were completed, Molotov, who was sitting on the plane back to Moscow, would not show off the results of the negotiations. It was a shame from beginning to end. They were all signed under the coercion of Tang Qiuli's troops. Typical

What are the alliances under the city showing off? Are they showing off millions of square kilometers of Soviet territory and ceding it from their own hands?

Therefore, Molotov decided that after returning to Moscow, he would report all the situation to Comrade Stalin and then take leave to rest. This trip to Kulun had done too much damage to him and he needed time to calm down.

Painful, and precisely because of this, Stalin at this time did not know the outcome of the negotiations. Naturally, the Outer Khingan Range Army and the Baikal Front Army, which were desperately trying to break through the Japanese blocking line, had no way of knowing about it.

On the contrary, Liu Tiehan deliberately let the Soviet commanders know that the independent divisions in the Far East would not take action against them. This move only deepened the Soviet commanders' doubts and fears, because the soldiers who followed him lingeringly.

One hundred thousand independent division troops put too much pressure on themselves.

"Comrade Commander, General Kilganin, Commander of the Baikal Front, is calling!" A staff officer came over to report.

General Gregariff frowned and said one word dryly: "Read!"

The staff officer thought: "Comrade Gregariff, have you discovered that the independent division troops that are maintaining an offensive posture against me have suddenly withdrawn? If so, what countermeasures will you take? I'll call you back and let me know!"

"What?" General Gregariff screamed. The independent division troops behind the Baikal Front also evacuated. What's going on? What are the Chinese doing? It seems that Kilganin is also aware of the sudden situation.

Full of suspicion, abnormality, everything is abnormal, everything is in fucking chaos. If the independent division troops are always watching from behind, at least they can feel their murderous intentions.

However, now they suddenly evacuated and lost the threat from behind. Why did they feel more and more uneasy? General Gregariff held his head in pain. The attacks to break through the Japanese blocking line repeatedly failed. The Chinese behind them came again.

After such a move, he felt that his brain was not used enough.

The staff officer was still waiting for him eagerly. General Gregariff forced himself to calm down, pondered for a while, and said: "Call back, Comrade Kilganin, the independent division behind our unit also suddenly evacuated. According to my judgment, this time

Because of the Chinese conspiracy, I have ordered the rearguard troops to prepare for the attack of the independent division troops!"

From Chita to Irkutsk, millions of troops from the two Soviet fronts were preparing for the sudden evacuation of the independent divisions. They were full of doubts and uneasy, and prepared to meet the independent divisions as if facing a powerful enemy.

The unknown conspiracy of the troops.

On this day, the Soviet army's attack was extremely fierce and crazy, launching a wave-like offensive. Starting when the sun just emerged, the sound of gunfire never stopped along the entire front, and thick smoke filled the sky in the Far East.

The Soviet soldiers fought like crazy, rushing up in groups, and falling in piles under the Japanese fire net.

The Japanese soldiers were trembling in their hearts. After several consecutive days of attacks, the Soviet army suffered huge casualties, and the Japanese army also suffered a lot of casualties. In terms of overall strength comparison, the Japanese army occupied favorable fortifications, but the Soviet army had strong artillery firepower.

Artillery shells bombarded the Japanese positions. There was a burst of shelling, and then countless Soviet soldiers began to charge, over and over again. Therefore, after several days of fierce fighting, the Japanese casualties were more than 70,000 to 80,000.

What is even more ominous for the Japanese army is that as the weather gets warmer in recent days, the ice and snow defense system invented by Lieutenant General Haruhiko Taichi has encountered great challenges. During the day, under the sunlight, the ice and snow melted, and the Japanese soldiers could only fight in the wet and muddy

In the trenches, it was miserable to resist the crazy Soviet attack. At night, the temperature was no longer as cold as the previous few days, and the water poured on it could hardly freeze into solid ice.

The Japanese soldiers also discovered that the ice and snow defense line they relied on was gradually losing its previous role. Often when a Soviet artillery shell fell, a large piece of ice would explode. This was a problem a few days ago.

It is simply impossible. Most of the casualties of the Japanese army occurred in the past few days when the weather got warmer. The Japanese army that blocked the attack faced unavoidable problems. Zhukov, who stood firm on the battlefield in the Far East, also faced the same problem.

Nature no longer favors the two generals, who are hostile but equally smart. The proud work they rely on for survival is losing its effect. This is what General Gregariff discovered in the telegrams exchanged with Zhukov.

My old friend, the source of despair deep in my heart.

Lieutenant General Haruhiko returned to his headquarters from the forward position with mud and water all over his body. Within a few days, Lieutenant General Haruhiko's fair face had become much darker and thinner. The beard that had not been shaved for a long time made his appearance even more haggard.

, Yes, the rearguard cluster of the Far East Campaign of the Empire of Japan is facing tremendous pressure, not only from the increasingly warming weather, but also from the crazy offensive of the Soviet army.

Lieutenant General Haruhiko sat tiredly on the shell box and picked up the unit's casualty statistics table. The numbers on it shocked him. Just yesterday, Prince Zai Ren sent him a telegram about the siege of the Soviet Far East Front.

, progress is going well, but the progress is slow. The intensity of the Soviet resistance is higher than expected before the war. It was originally scheduled to take two weeks to break through the Soviet defense system, but now it seems that it will take at least more than a week.

time.

Although the battlefield space of the Soviet Far East Front has been greatly compressed, every time a Soviet position is captured, the Imperial Army will pay a considerable price. Therefore, the important task of blocking Soviet reinforcements must continue to be on the

On Haruhiko-kun.

Although Prince Zairen did not say it clearly in the telegram, Lieutenant General Haruhiko knew that the interception mission of the rearguard group in the Far East Campaign would have to be extended for a week or even longer. If the weather continued to be cold, this would not be a problem at all, but now, Lieutenant General Haruhiko

Jiang looked at the muddy water all over his body and his muddy riding boots, and smiled bitterly, "We need to change the way we defend ourselves!" he thought.
