Age of Conquest Reborn

How could this happen? Even though Lieutenant General Haruhiko's final telegram was before his eyes, Prince Zain still couldn't believe it. Overnight, the war situation reversed. The Far East Campaign rearguard group, which he had promised to stop the Soviet army for more than a week, suddenly suddenly

All gone, those were more than 700,000 elite soldiers of the empire. How could they be so vulnerable?

"Is that all?" Prince Zai Ren asked sleepwalking, his voice weak and erratic.

"Commander-in-Chief, what did you say?" Major General Yamada didn't hear clearly. He found that His Highness the Prince's eyes were staring straight and lost focus. He couldn't help but worry. A few days ago, he was so angry that the Chinese devil vomited blood.

Now, a bigger blow comes suddenly, His Highness the Prince will not die on the spot, right?

"Haruhiko's telegram!" Prince Zai Ren repeated without even having the energy to lose his temper.

Major General Yamada snatched the telegram from the hands of the staff officer who had turned into a goose-like person. At the same time, in his ear, he said viciously but in a low voice: "Baga - go to the military doctor immediately."

, waiting outside the Commander-in-Chief’s office, quick!”

The staff officer hurriedly rushed out as if he had just woken up from a dream. Major General Yamada first helped Prince Zairen to a chair and sat down, "Yamada-kun, it doesn't matter. I want to know how the rearguard group in the Far East Campaign was defeated across the board. I don't know.

Are you willing?" Prince Zai Ren's eyes turned red, but he still said in a weak tone.

Major General Yamada hurriedly opened the telegram and read: "...As for the root cause of the sudden collapse of the rear guard group in the Indian Campaign, the Ministry of Staff believes that it was all caused by the troops of the China Devil Tang Qiuli..."

"What?" Knowing where the strength came from, Prince Zai Ren stood up and exclaimed, "What? The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops, together with the Soviet army, launched a joint attack on the battle rearguard group? What?

Possibly?"

Major General Yamada glanced helplessly at the frightened Prince Zai Ren, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, these are all crazy!" He thought to himself. "Commander-in-Chief, this is not the case. The staff will continue to read the message!" He comforted him.

explained.

"Whew——!" Like a deflated rubber ball, Prince Zai Ren slumped down on the chair again. The action just now was too violent. Prince Zai Ren, who was always strong and healthy, actually had a layer of swelling on his forehead.

He was sweating profusely. It can be seen that Lieutenant General Haruhiko's desperate telegram had a huge impact on him!

Major General Yamada glanced worriedly at Prince Zairen, who was sweating profusely, and then said: "Since the beginning of the blockade, the Ministry of Staff learned from the search force's reconnaissance that the Soviet army used to attack the imperial army, with a strength of two.

About one-half of the troops, and the other half of the troops are in the rear

Confronted with the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. The two sides were in an imminent situation. Therefore, the Far East Campaign rearguard group could block the Soviet army for more than a week. If the situation was maintained, the Far East Campaign rearguard group could complete the commander-in-chief's mission.

Your Majesty’s order!”

"Unexpectedly, in the early hours of this morning, the two Soviet front troops deployed all their troops, artillery, and tanks to attack us on a front line of hundreds of kilometers from Chita to Irkutsk in the Far East Campaign.

The rearguard group launched an unprecedented ferocious attack, and the battle situation took a turn for the worse. At this point, the staff was unable to recover..."

"Based on this, the Ministry of Staff has a judgment that the reason why the Soviet army dared to attack freely is that the Soviets and the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli reached some kind of agreement, and the independent division troops no longer threaten the Soviet army's rear.

, the Soviets are colluding with the Chinese devil. This is the biggest threat to our Imperial Japanese Army's troops in the Far East. Before calmly rushing to the forward position, the staff department reminded the Commander-in-Chief in tears that he must pay attention to this situation that is not good for the empire.

Great changes in the imperial army!"

After Major General Yamada finished reading the telegram, he remained silent with a sad look on his face. Major General Yamada still had a good impression of Lieutenant General Haruhiko. A promising Imperial Army Lieutenant General, his body was left on the battlefield in the Far East like this.

In his heart, he felt that the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad, and things harmed their own kind.

Prince Zai Ren sat on the chair blankly, "No more?" After a long time, he asked with distracted eyes.

"That's the content of Haruhiko-kun's telegram!" Major General Yamada replied. After thinking about it, he reminded him: "Commander-in-Chief, Haruhiko-kun's telegram mentioned that the Soviet army was in cahoots with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.

The situation is extremely serious and will directly affect our ongoing Far East campaign and even the military structure of the Far East region in the future. Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, it is better to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible!"

Major General Yamada's reminder was very long-term, but it was of no help to the current war situation. In less than three days, the Soviet Union's two front armies, with more than two million troops, would rush to the Far East battlefield and storm the Soviet Far East Front;

In six or seven days, the three battle groups of the empire will face the possibility of being encircled by the Soviet army. It is time to make a decision on where to go.

Major General Yamada also realized this and continued: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the top priority is how to solve the problem on the Far East battlefield. The fate of more than one million imperial soldiers depends on your wisdom. Please make a decision quickly!"

Major General Yamada was very worried to see that the current state of His Highness the Prince was very bad. The confidence, the style of a general, and the command were all gone. No matter how you looked at it, His Highness the Prince looked like he was lost and lost.

, the completely different changes before and after today made Major General Yamada, who had always regarded His Highness the Prince as an idol, very uncomfortable with it.

What to do? Prince Zai Ren’s mind was like a mess and he couldn’t figure out any clues. As Tang Qiuli analyzed, no matter what countermeasures he took, he could not change the outcome of the Far East Campaign’s failure. He divided his forces to stop the attack.

Even if the Soviet reinforcements were to ignore the Soviet reinforcements and continue to besiege Zhukov's troops, even if they broke through the core position of the Soviet Far East Front in three days, the Japanese troops could successfully evacuate the battlefield when the Soviet reinforcements arrived.

?

Obviously it can't be done, not to mention Zhukov's strength of 500,000 to 600,000 people. It would take more than a week to completely destroy them. I'm afraid, Zhukov's army was not completely wiped out, but the Japanese army itself was surrounded by the Soviet army.

Major General Yamada's words reminded Prince Zairen that now was not the time to lie down. He suppressed the weakness in his body and racked his brains to think. In just ten minutes, it seemed that all his efforts had been drained.

The plan flashed through my mind and was quickly overturned. It seemed that there was no other way but to withdraw from the battlefield immediately!

Overexerting the brain, a dizzying pain suddenly hit the brain. Prince Zairen suddenly groaned in pain and held his head with both hands, "Military doctor! Military doctor!" Major General Yamada saw that His Highness the Prince suddenly turned pale and held his hands.

Head, shouting loudly in panic.

The military doctor and several nurses who had been waiting outside rushed in after hearing the sound. They hurriedly gave Prince Zai Ren an injection before he calmed down. Major General Yamada waved his hand, just like chasing away a swarm of flies. The military doctor and nurses

Not daring to take a breath, he bowed and exited.

Prince Zai Ren opened his empty eyes, looked at Major General Yamada and said: "Yamada-kun, convey the order. All units on the Far East battlefield should evacuate the battlefield immediately. The Kwantung Army troops should evacuate to the south where they are. The assembly point is Khabarovsk.

The direction of the Far East Expedition Force's evacuation is to the west of the Burya Mountains, and then turns southward, towards the territory of Manchuria, and the direction of the evacuation of the North Korean garrison is to the east of the Kukan Mountains, and the assembly points of all troops are within Manchuria!"

Panting heavily, Prince Zai Ren continued: "The evacuated troops must conceal their whereabouts and break away from the Soviet Far East Front before three o'clock tomorrow morning. Each troop must take turns to cover and evacuate in order. Yamada-kun, we

Failed!

Not willing to give in! - Damn China Devil!" Prince Zai Ren almost roared with the last words, his throat was salty, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. This was after Prince Zai Ren arrived at the battlefield in the Far East, because of Tang Qiu

He was so angry that he vomited blood for the second time.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Prince Zai Ren felt better. He stopped Major General Yamada from calling for a military doctor, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued: "What I am most worried about is that the direction of the Far East Expedition Force's evacuation happens to be the Soviet Union.

Regarding the direction from which the military reinforcements are coming, you must specifically remind General Norigoro Ono that after the troops cross the Brya Mountains, they can retreat along the mountains to Manchuria and enter Manchuria from the direction of Birobidzhan."

After giving these instructions, Prince Zai Ren had no strength anymore and collapsed on the makeshift bed, staring blankly at the roof, breathing heavily, which sounded worrying, with a lot of air coming out and a lot of air coming in.

Less posture.

Major General Yamada had a sad look on his face. He looked at Prince Zai Ren, who seemed to have only a shell left, and sighed deeply. However, there was a question, and he had to ask His Highness to make up his mind. "Commander-in-Chief, if the troops are here,

During the evacuation, we were pursued by the Soviet Far East Front, how should we respond?" he asked.

Prince Zai Ren's faint voice seemed to come from afar, "According to the extent of the blow to the Soviet Far East Front, Zhukov will not pursue our evacuated troops. If the Soviet army really pursues, the supreme commander of each army will camera

When acting, safety evacuation is the first priority. If necessary, a small number of troops can be left behind to act as rear-end blocking force!"

Prince Zai Ren still has two brushes. He has the ruthlessness of a strong man to cut off his wrist. He knows that at the critical moment, he will be ruthless and let go. The evacuation plan he deployed also reflects his skill. The three battle clusters went to different locations.

They retreated in that direction because they were afraid of being entangled by Zhukov, so they took a big dodge to get away from the battlefield, which would also prevent them from being swept in by the Soviet reinforcements that came later.

Major General Yamada was silent for a moment, silently bowed deeply to Prince Zai Ren, who was in a semi-conscious state, and turned around to exit. At this time, rapid footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the office.
