Age of Conquest Reborn

The words of Major General Yamada, chief of staff of the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters, although very euphemistic, hit the point and pointed out the essence of the problem. Can the Kwantung Army at this stage cope with the pressure from different directions of the two independent division field corps at the same time?

?

What Chief of Staff Yamada meant was to remind the Commander-in-Chief, Prince Zain, not to be at a disadvantage on both ends. This was his duty as the Chief of Staff. Prince Zain sighed inwardly. He understood what Major General Yamada meant, and he was not helpless.

After thinking about this, the current appearance of the Kwantung Army is like recovering from a serious illness, no - it is like a patient who is bedridden and has lost too much blood. Although he has not yet died, he is still scarred and his vitality is severely damaged.

After several months of fighting with the Soviet Army in the Far East, the pride of the Imperial Army, the "Flower of the Imperial Army!" had its petals scattered, almost withered, and was extremely weak. At this moment, it could no longer compete with its opponent again.

According to Prince Zai Ren's estimate, it would take at least three to five months for the Kwantung Army to return to its heyday with two-thirds of its combat effectiveness and soldiers. This is still an optimistic estimate.

However, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps of the Independent Division, stationed on the northeastern border of Manchuria, is always a huge threat. Although it is only a second-rate unit, a wolf with teeth can bite, and it cannot be left unchecked.

To prevent it, we need soldiers!

After carefully weighing it, the only thing that can be used is the Kwantung Army. The Far East Dispatch Army returns to the Far East. That vast land requires more troops to garrison. Moreover, there are still troops facing Chita and Irkut.

The independent division's east-pointing troops on the Tsk front line have fewer troops. Isn't that a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

The Far East Expeditionary Force cannot bring back a single soldier, and the North Korean garrison troops. Don’t expect it either. They just cut off more than one-third of their troops with a knife. The Korean Peninsula, which is three thousand miles away, is not a peaceful place.

places, various places

The anti-armed forces have been causing trouble for the imperial army all day long. Tanaka Shinichi has too few troops. If a big chaos breaks out on the Korean peninsula, the foundation of imperial rule will be shaken. Those local guys will take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames. How can they themselves

Aren't you completely passive?

After much deliberation, the only option was to let the Kwantung Army struggle and fight hard to deal with the new opponent - Sun Zhenbang's troops of the Independent Division's Outer Mongolia Field Corps. The original local garrison was simply unable to take on the important role. The main soldiers were all.

Some country bumpkins from the Manchuria Pioneer Regiment who are half-soldiers and half-citizens, if we expect them to fight, why not believe in roosters laying eggs?

Prince Zai Ren was like a mirror in his heart. Facing the attack of the second-rate troops of the Independent Division's Outer Mongolian Field Corps, the empire's original border garrison could not withstand three days, so he was still optimistic about his estimate. Therefore, Yamada's words would not matter again.

It makes sense. But it doesn't match the reality. There are always imperial troops to defend the northeastern border areas of Manchuria, right?

However, Prince Zai Ren did not directly refute what Major General Yamada said. He wanted to see what good ideas the rather capable Chief of Staff could come up with for him. Maybe his words would inspire him a new idea.

?

"Yamada-kun, I have taken all of your concerns into consideration. However, the situation is such that the threat from the northeastern border of Manchuria must be resolved. Do you have any better suggestions?" Prince Zairen asked kindly, and,

It's a very sincere approach to soliciting opinions.

Having said this, Major General Yamada could not hide it, "Commander-in-Chief, the biggest problem that causes you is the problem of troop strength. For the current plan, the only way is to make a request to the base camp again, and then to Kanto.

army replenishment

At the same time, we will increase local recruitment efforts and form a new border garrison force in northeastern Manchuria to go to Manchuria. Only in this way will the forces that the Far East Campaign Headquarters can mobilize not be stretched thin!" Major General Yamada said.

Talking about.

It’s a good idea, but the distant water cannot quench the immediate thirst. The formation of a new army with more than 200,000 troops cannot be completed in a month or two. What’s more, the empire has its own difficulties. “Yamada-kun, this is a long-term goal.

According to the plan, the number of imperial troops in Manchuria in the future should not be less than 2.5 million people. However, you also know that just to replenish the Kwantung Army soldiers, the base camp reserve soldier recruitment headquarters has already been complaining endlessly!

"

"Also, Mr. Yamada, the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force is at a stalemate with the British and American Allied Forces on the Australian battlefield in the South Pacific. There is no sign of the end of the Pacific battlefield in a short time. The Empire's existing war potential must be strengthened at the same time.

Taking care of the two battlefields and replenishing the losses of the Kwantung Army has already strained the imperial troops. Therefore, it is not easy to form a new army of more than 200,000 people!" Prince Zai Ren said earnestly.

Major General Yamada put his legs together, stood at attention with a "Bang!", lowered his head suddenly, and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the staff has little knowledge and is talking nonsense!"

Prince Zai Ren waved his hand, without any intention of blaming him, "You are the chief of staff, are you making suggestions? How can you talk about nonsense? Okay, just follow what I just said and give the order to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro.

Come on! Also, tell Mr. Nanci, don’t wait until the troops are replenished. The troops of the eight divisions will immediately march to the border of Manchuria. You can accept soldiers from the mainland while marching in!"

After Chief of Staff Yamada left, Prince Zai Ren looked at the large military map on the wall and muttered to himself: "Outer Mongolia Field Corps - Sun Zhenbang, a new opponent, just doesn't know that you are in China Devil Tang Qiu

Where does Li rank among the generals under his command? I hope he is an opponent with mediocre abilities!" The worry in his eyes did not diminish.

General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, after receiving the order from the Far East Campaign Headquarters, took the telegram and stared blankly for a long time, clicking his lips, shaking his head, with a wry smile on his face, and doing his own business

, I know what the Kwantung Army looks like now, how much wealth it has, and how much combat power it has. General Nanjiro knows better than anyone else.

The troops of more than 1.8 million were so spectacular and powerful, but after a battle in the Far East, more than one million people were left dead, their vitality was severely damaged, and many divisions were reduced to nothing but

It's just a piece of shit, even counting the wounded. What the Kwantung Army has now

The strength of the troops was less than 800,000. Fortunately, the base camp recognized the hard work of the Kwantung Army and gave priority to replenishing soldiers and equipment. Just yesterday, the first batch of 150,000 additional soldiers and equipment arrived in Manchuria. Within three to five days,

Within, it can be organized into various units.

General Nanjiro knew very well that the reason why the Kwantung Army received such generous treatment was entirely due to the merits of Prince Zairen. His Royal Highness the Prince had vast supernatural powers in the imperial world and could control the wind and rain. He was grateful to the department in the base camp for not giving him face.

Prince Zain did not deliberately make things difficult for him just because he belonged to the lineage of Monai Koichi.

If Prince Zai Ren wants to make things difficult, Nanjiro himself will be in trouble. After all, the empire is not only fighting a war in the Far East, but also the continent in the South Pacific. It is not just your Kwantung Army.

A family needs soldiers?

However, gratitude is not enough to make General Nanjiro abandon General Yonei, who has been kind to him, and plunge into the arms of Prince Zaihi. General Nanjiro believes that being together is what the Kwantung Army deserves.

Far East War

At the beginning of the battle, it was the Kwantung Army that withstood the Soviet Union's more than 4 million troops and bought enough time for Prince Zai Ren to adjust his deployment. At the most critical moment of encircling and annihilating the Soviet Far East Front, it was the Kwantung Army that took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

As for what happened afterwards, due to the arrival of Soviet reinforcements, the Far East Campaign fell short. That was not its own responsibility. The Kwantung Army paid a price of nearly one million casualties and severely damaged its old rival Zhukov's troops, and got what it deserved.

status, all of which were obtained by all the officers and men of the Kwantung Army with their blood and lives!

Therefore, General Nanjiro's attitude was that he was neither arrogant nor conceited, nor did he deliberately try to curry favor. He also showed a sense of distance from Prince Zain's attempts to win over him. With the arrival of the first batch of new soldiers and equipment from the mainland,

General Nanjiro's mood gradually became more comfortable.

If the current replenishment rate is followed, in at most four to five months, the total strength of the Kwantung Army will reach about 1.5 million people. Although it is far inferior to its heyday, it is still quite good. As for the strength of the troops

Fighting ability? Although General Nanjiro is worried, it is not a big deal!

Although the Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses, those who survived were all backbone veterans with rich combat experience. These were the seeds. With the existence of these veterans, General Nanjiro was confident that within two years, the Kwantung Army would still be a proud empire."

The flower of the imperial army!”

But just when he felt that he was satisfied, an order came from the Far East Campaign Headquarters, and troops from eight divisions were to be transferred at once, "Amaterasu, that's nearly three-thirds of the Kwantung Army's existing strength."

One part, next,

The Kwantung Army has to go to the Liaoxi region of Manchuria to face another strong force of the independent division - Niangziguan Garrison Corps, under the command of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, the top five generals in the photo, Feng Jiwu's troops! "Nan!"

General Jiro complained repeatedly in his heart.

If the current eight divisions of the Kwantung Army are transferred to other areas outside Manchuria, even if General Nanjiro tries his best to fall out with Prince Zaihito and bring the case to His Majesty the Emperor, he will still disobey.

But it doesn't work now. The entire Manchuria was originally the Kwantung Army's defense zone. If another force of the Independent Division threatens the northeastern border, then the Kwantung Army has the responsibility to take preventive measures. This order from Prince Zain made General Nanjiro

There is no argument, and there is no reason to put it on the table if you want to disobey orders, but it is really painful to transfer the troops of eight divisions like this!

Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, the Chief of Staff, saw that the Commander-in-Chief was just holding the air conditioner and not talking as if he had a toothache. However, the other end of the headquarters did not wait for a call back, so he asked: "Commander-in-Chief, the Far East Campaign

Should we immediately implement the headquarters’ order?”
