Age of Conquest Reborn

The night was getting darker and the night wind was picking up. Amid the coldness, with a hint of warmth, Lieutenant General Haruhiko Taichi, the commander of the Japanese Far East Campaign rearguard group, stood in the evening breeze with a sad expression for a long time.

Hours ago, Lieutenant General Haruhiko bid farewell to the soldiers who went to sneak attack the Soviet artillery position on the snow at his feet.

Major General Iijima, the head of the rear guard cluster intelligence department, is very efficient in his work. He is also a veteran in intelligence and is familiar with the ropes. Therefore, in just two hours, more than 8,000 troops were assembled.

, Except for the three search brigades directly under the Intelligence Department, the other search forces were temporarily mobilized from various divisions. With more than 8,000 soldiers, they can be called the elite of the entire rearguard group.

This elite force of more than 8,000 people bears all the hopes of Lieutenant General Haruhiko. In the dark night and evening wind, more than 8,000 soldiers stood in a dark human wall. The scene was solemn and tragic, facing

About to die calmly

Lieutenant General Haruhiko felt that it was superfluous to say anything. He just stood in front of the queue, facing more than 8,000 elite Japanese Empire soldiers, bowed deeply, and then waved his hand briefly and said:

"Set off!"

Such a simple matter caused more than 8,000 elite imperial soldiers to embark on a path of no return. This made Lieutenant General Haruhiko bleed in pain, but he was also proud that his soldiers did not show any fear when facing death.

Hesitating and resisting, he was proud of this. He had firmer confidence in the plan to destroy the Soviet artillery positions. "Perhaps, there will be good news tomorrow evening!" he thought to himself.

What Haruhiko didn't know was that he only saw the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers, but he did not expect that among the more than 8,000 soldiers, only a few commanders who led the team knew the true content of the operation. Major General Iijima was there

When assembling the troops, he had no intention of letting ordinary soldiers know the contents of the operation. He was worried that once the soldiers knew that they were carrying out a fatal mission with no return, it would upset people's hearts and affect the morale of the troops.

As for those commanders, they are Major General Iijima's absolute confidants. They replaced the original commander of the troops. He believed in his judgment of his subordinates, believed in these officers, their loyalty to the Empire of Japan, and their determination to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

, even though they knew they were going to die, they would face it calmly. When they accepted the mission, they felt like they had won the jackpot, their faces glowing with excitement. In other words, these officers did not take their lives seriously at all.

Something happened!

In the rising night wind, Lieutenant General Haruhiko suddenly let out a long sigh and said: "Iijima-kun, am I too indifferent to these soldiers who are about to pay their lives for the Japanese Empire? I can't even say a word of encouragement and comfort.

I didn’t even say anything. I was heartbroken when I saw their heroic attitude in dying calmly. There are more than 8,000 warriors of the Yamato nation!"

How could Major General Iijima dare to tell Lieutenant General Haruhiko what he had done? He hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, you don't have to worry too much. To these soldiers, their jade fragments are valuable. I think

, when the soldiers rush to the battlefield, they are already psychologically prepared to sacrifice their lives for the Japanese Empire. It is their pride to carry out this glorious and irreversible mission!"

Lieutenant General Haruhiko nodded silently, agreeing with Major General Iijima's statement, "Iijima-kun, every officer and soldier who participated in this operation, the Intelligence Department must record their personal information in detail.

The Empire will never forget their heroic deeds, and we need our countrymen to know about their heroic deeds!"

Major General Iijima agreed repeatedly. Faced with Lieutenant General Haruhiko's rather sad tone, he did not feel any psychological burden at all. People with a background in intelligence are mostly known for being cold-blooded and ruthless, and Major General Iijima is the best among them. Come to think of it,

, if Lieutenant General Haruhiko knew

, among the more than 8,000 people, only a handful of seven or eight people knew the danger of this operation. The rest were kept in the dark and rushed towards death without knowing it. I don't know if they would still be filled with emotion and...

Are you proud of the bravery of the Japanese Empire soldiers?

On the same night, the commander of the Soviet Union's Outer Khingan Mountains Front, General Gregariff, was in a restless mood. The day's attack still yielded nothing except tens of thousands of corpses and tens of thousands of wounded soldiers.

blocking

The position was like a copper wall and an iron wall, blocking his more than 600,000 troops, making it difficult for them to move even an inch, and their heads were bruised and bloody. On the battlefield in the Far East, Zhukov's situation was getting worse. He was anxiously waiting for help, but he was blocked here.

Thinking of these, General Gregariff's heart was filled with anxious helplessness. Faced with the current situation, he was helpless. Speaking of which, the Outer Xing'an Mountains had more than one million troops, but they were useless, except in pursuit.

During the Kwantung Army,

The fight was smooth and the gains were fruitful. However, everything went wrong in the following period. First, they were ordered to withdraw to Europe. On the front line of Chita, they were blocked by Tang Qiuli's force-reading division troops with mines all over the mountains and plains.

Outside the tower, it was difficult to move even for six or seven days.

Finally, he received an order to return to the Far East Front to aid the Far East Army. This was exactly what he wanted. He originally thought that he could rush back to the Far East battlefield in one go. However, he knew that he was blocked by the Japanese army hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield and was beaten again.

In six or seven days, more than 100,000 people were killed or injured, but in the end it was still difficult to move forward. General Gregariff felt helpless in his heart, which could not be expressed in words.

"Since entering the East, everything has been frustrated and everything has gone wrong. What happened to the great Soviet army?" In the dead of night, General Gregariff asked himself more than once, but he could not think of the reason. Not only him, but also

Even Comrade Stalin was puzzled.

Lying in his clothes, lying on the camp bed, listening to the howling night wind outside the tent, General Gregariff was not sleepy at all. His mind was still swirling, following his troops, and would pounce on him at any time.

Why did the force troops suddenly withdraw?

This problem also plagued him, "Dingling Bell!" A rapid telephone ringtone interrupted the thoughts of General Gragarif.

In the standing tent, there was the sound of the staff member answering the phone.

General Gregariff's ears twitched and he immediately stood up, "Comrade Commander, Comrade Chief of Staff who is commanding the rearguard force, I'm calling you!" outside the tent, the staff officer shouted softly.

General Gregariff's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be that the reading force troops that had evacuated inexplicably have finally revealed their true colors and are about to take action against their own troops?" He secretly thought with numbness in his scalp, adding insult to injury.

!

The frightened General Gregariff rushed into the tent next door in a few steps and picked up the microphone. "Is it Comrade Chief of Staff? Is it me? What's the situation? Have you read the force troops and started the attack?" His pulse was so nervous that

asked quickly.

On the other end of the phone, the voice of the Chief of Staff of the Front Army seemed very relaxed, "Comrade Commander, no, there is no situation. The reconnaissance troops I sent out continued to conduct deep reconnaissance in the Chita area, and the intelligence sent back showed that,

The reading force troops have really evacuated. They are already more than a day's journey away from our front rear guard. The Chinese people evacuated very quickly, which is amazing!" At the end, the lieutenant general's chief of staff did not forget to sigh.

"What?" It was General Gregariff's turn to lose his voice. What was going on? The rearguard troops were facing a formidable enemy. The force-reading division troops had indeed evacuated. I was still extremely nervous. If it really lasted more than a day,

Distance, what kind of big conspiracy is that? Confused, what are the Chinese doing?

"Comrade Chief of Staff, are you sure that the Force Reading Division is really more than a day's journey away from us? This is an issue related to the overall situation of the Far East Campaign. You must be cautious and cautious!" General Gregariff asked in disbelief.

.

The Chief of Staff of the Front Army on the other end of the phone was obviously a little impatient with Comrade Commander's nagging, and said: "Comrade Commander, I can guarantee with my party name that the Reading Division troops have really evacuated, and the dozen or so troops sent out have been

The intelligence sent back by the two reconnaissance teams is consistent. If there are any mistakes, I personally bear full responsibility!"

General Gregariff held the microphone blankly, staring into the distance with dull but unfocused eyes. He did not hear the dissatisfaction in the tone of the chief of staff, but fell into a thinking misunderstanding. His preconceptions and reading ability

The sudden withdrawal of the division troops must have been a Chinese conspiracy. Then, all thoughts revolved around this groundless conspiracy theory, but one fact after another proved that the so-called Chinese conspiracy did not exist at all.

The more evidence he received, the more General Gregariff became convinced that this was a Chinese conspiracy, and it was a conspiracy with a big intention. However, he could not figure out what kind of conspiracy it was. His head hurt when he thought about it, and he also thought about it.

For no apparent reason, this caused him even greater confusion, to the point where he became a little nervous!

"Comrade Commander, since the force reading division has no threat to our rear guard, I suggest that all the rear guard troops used to guard the force reading division be immediately devoted to the attack on the Japanese blocking positions.

Time is running out, Comrade Commander, we have been blocked by the Japanese army for six or seven days. Even if the Chinese have a conspiracy, we still have more than a day to prepare. At present, breaking through the Japanese army's blockade is the first priority!"

The chief of staff suggested.

"What?" The chief of staff's movement brought General Gregariff back to his senses, "No, absolutely not. The rearguard must remain in a fighting state, because the Chinese are so cunning that we cannot guard against it. You never know.

Those readers soldiers will come out from there, don't be careless!" He flatly rejected the chief of staff's suggestion and ordered angrily.

At this time, a communications staff officer rushed in and loudly reported: "Comrade Commander, we just received an urgent call from the headquarters!"
