Age of Conquest Reborn

Outside the borders of western and northwestern Manchuria, three independent division field corps are deployed in three offensive positions. More than one million independent division troops are eyeing Manchuria. The situation in Manchuria in the eyes of Prince Zairen is quite tense.

.

Tang Qiuli's campaign deployment was unabashed and all intentions were obvious. Only in this way did Prince Zai Ren feel even more aggrieved. He knew what his opponent was going to do, but you had to follow the opponent's rhythm. The Kwantung Army

The situation faced was such that the already stretched troops had to be divided into three areas.

Zai Ren even knew that General Nanjiro's request was reasonable and correct. The only way to restore the Kwantung Army's disadvantage in Manchuria was to increase its troop strength. However, it would be extremely difficult to mobilize troops from the Far East to reinforce Manchuria.

Can't.

General Nanjiro was worried about the three independent divisions. In addition to being worried about the situation in Manchuria, Prince Zairen was also worried about the situation in the Far East. Similarly, Liu Tiehan's East Command troops were approaching the Far East, with more than 700,000 troops.

The mighty march could not be hidden from the eyes of the Japanese agents. On Prince Zai Ren's desk was a piece of intelligence, which had just been sent back by an agent from the Intelligence Headquarters of the Far East Campaign Headquarters.

"Headquarters, the Third Intelligence Group's reconnaissance has learned that the Northeastern Advance Command troops under Tang Qiuli's command, with approximately 700,000 troops, are all heading to the Far East with the intention of competing with our Imperial Japanese Army for control of the Far East.

Quan, the commander of the East Point Force of the Independent Division, Liu Tiehan, who is currently the deputy division commander of the Independent Division, has the rank of Army Lieutenant General. This man is one of the most senior officers within the Independent Division!"

Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan and Prince Zairen are naturally no strangers to him, including the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department and the Imperial Army's senior intelligence agency. The information about this person can probably fill a room. When the devil in China moved to fight in Indochina,

During the time on the Indian mainland, this man had commanded all the military power of the Independent Division in the northern region. He was one of the top-ranked generals under Tang Qiuli, and was the second most powerful figure in the Independent Division.

The East Point troops under his command are well-equipped, strong and well-trained. Most of them are Manchu soldiers. "Another tough general, a tough opponent, with more than 700,000 troops, it's a lot of pressure!"

After reading the information, Prince Zain's first reaction was to sigh.

The independent division east points to an army of more than 700,000 people. It has already rushed towards the Far East, clearly indicating that it is a big fight. Under such circumstances, how can it be possible to divide its troops from the Far East? Therefore, Nanjiro's request cannot be realized.

Just a wish!

Facing the pressure of the army in the East Point, Prince Zairen would never dare to divide his troops from the Far East to reinforce the Kwantung Army in Manchuria. However, Manchuria is the foundation of the Japanese Empire and must not be lost. What that guy Nanjiro said makes perfect sense. Concentrate.

The suggestion that the Far East Expeditionary Force and the Kwantung Army stick to Manchuria is absolutely correct. As for the differences between the two sides, it is just a matter of looking at the problem from different perspectives. Prince Zain will not deliberately create difficulties for the Eastern Army because of this.

Therefore, the strength of the Imperial Army in Manchuria must be increased to a level sufficient to compete with the independent division's offensive troops! This was Prince Zain's decision after careful consideration. However, he encountered the same problem as Nanjiro. Where to start?

Move troops?

The mainland tried its best to replenish the strength of the Kwantung Army, but it was obviously too late. If Nanjiro was given more than half a year, with that guy's ability, the Kwantung Army would definitely recover its full strength, and there would be no suffering now!

The Far East Expeditionary Force, with more than 600,000 troops, all returned to Manchuria. This kind of suffering was solved immediately. However, Nanjiro was a good man in the military, but he did not understand politics. He did not understand what the Far East had to do with his current situation.

The importance is to not only disappoint the emperor, but also to silence local hostile factions. The Far East must be occupied.

Therefore, we must have a head-on decisive battle with the East Command of the Independent Division in the Far East to completely control the Far East. At this most critical moment, how can the Far East dispatched troops divide their forces to reinforce the Kwantung Army? The importance of the Far East to ourselves, politics

The significance is greater than the military significance!

How to solve the current difficult situation of the Kwantung Army has become a difficult problem for Prince Zai Ren. He once thought of transferring troops from the Korean garrison to reinforce Manchuria. However, after the Korean garrison was severely cut off by himself,

There are not many troops left, and the three thousand miles of Korean peninsula need to be guarded by the imperial army. Moreover, if the idea of ​​garrisoning troops in North Korea is attempted again, that old guy Koichi Yoneuchi will definitely risk his life not to come forward.

.

One word: "Difficult!" The problem of insufficient troops almost worried Prince Zai Ren to death. The only thing he could do was to use his position as chief of general staff to put pressure on the relevant departments of the base camp and order them to move the troops as quickly as possible.

There is no other way to supplement the local reserve troops to the Kwantung Army.

The East Command troops of the Independent Division, which are heading straight towards the Far East, and the three field corps of the Independent Division eyeing the western and northwestern borders of Manchuria, have become two huge rocks weighing on Prince Zain's heart, making him unable to breathe!

His call back to General Nanjiro was also full of bitterness, "Nanji-kun, I have received the call, and I want to inform you of an important situation. According to the reconnaissance of the intelligence department of the Far East Expeditionary Force, we learned that the deputy commander of the independent division

Liu Tiehan is commanding more than 700,000 troops of the East Command to attack the Far East. I believe that the war in the Far East will be reignited in the near future, and the war will be unprecedentedly fierce!"

"The Far East is also an important area related to the fate of the empire and must not fall into the hands of the China devil. Therefore, Nancijun's request for reinforcements cannot be met. For the current plan, I can only order the mainland to speed up the replenishment of the Kwantung Army's troops.

At this time, the situation in Manchuria is extremely dangerous, and war is about to break out. At this critical moment, I believe that Nanci-kun's military commanding ability will not disappoint me, and there will be an appropriate response!"

"According to my judgment, judging from the deployment of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, the outbreak of the war in the Far East and the outbreak of the war in Manchuria will not be too far apart. By then, I am afraid that I will not have time to take into account the war situation in Manchuria. I will award Nanci according to the situation.

You will have corresponding command authority and independently command all imperial armies in Manchuria!"

After reading Prince Zai Ren's reply, General Nanjiro no longer even smiled bitterly. Prince Zai Ren's meaning was very clear. Not only were there no reinforcements, but even after the independent division troops attacked Manchuria, don't expect them.

We were trying to mobilize reinforcements from the Far East. At that time, there was also a war in the Far East, 600,000 versus 700,000. The capital was not enough in the first place. I was in a hurry myself and couldn't take care of you. Let's all do our own thing!

As for the granting of independent command rights, it is almost like an empty talk, and is even more disgusting than empty talk. The Imperial Army has these in Manchuria. It is originally the command scope of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters. Is it an empty favor? And authorization is nonsense!

General Nanjiro was speechless.

General Nanjiro gave up all thoughts of getting reinforcements and focused on how to deal with the independent three-direction troops. He transferred some well-trained veterans from local police forces across Manchuria and added that various units of the Kwantung Army,

But this was far from enough. In desperation, General Nanjiro, as the chief of staff of Manchukuo, issued an order to mobilize the troops of the five armies of Manchukuo, break up the organization, and combine them with the Kwantung Army in regiments.

together.

After patchwork, General Nanjiro finally added more than 280,000 troops to the Kwantung Army. However, General Nanjiro himself knew that the overall combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army had dropped by nearly one-third, especially

The troops that supplemented the Manchuria soldiers have even dropped by one-half. At the critical moment, only Amaterasu knows whether the Manchu soldiers incorporated into the Kwantung Army's combat order can withstand it?

The Manchukuo soldiers of the five armies simply did not dare to move in the same direction. That would be a road to death. Without real imperial soldiers to monitor them, I am afraid that as soon as the gunshots were fired, these Manchukuo troops would collapse thousands of miles away.

Run so far that you can't even see Yingra?

Therefore, the defense forces in the western Manchuria direction, the troops in the western Liaoning area, and the northeastern border garrison have all supplemented the Manchuria soldiers in varying numbers. Although many division commanders are full of reluctance to supplement the Manchurian soldiers, General Nanjiro

A few words blocked everything

He said, "Faced with the huge threat from the independent divisions, the Empire's supplementary troops are far from enough. This is a temporary measure. If necessary, we can order the Manchukuo troops to consume the attacking enemy troops on the front line.

The Imperial Army can monitor on the second line!"

The Manchukuo soldiers were not good at fighting, but they could still serve as cannon fodder. The division commanders of the Kwantung Army accepted this reality uncomfortably. Perhaps out of self-comfort, they added Manchurian soldiers to the Kwantung Army.

They all put on the uniforms of the Kwantung Army. If they didn't speak, no one would be able to tell the truth from the lies. Of course, they would be able to tell the difference immediately once they arrive on the battlefield.

Under the strict supervision of General Nanjiro, the Third Army of the Kwantung Army and the four attached brigades completed the defensive deployment of the Western Manchuria area in the shortest possible time. Of course, it was hasty, but this was already the commander of the Third Army.

Lieutenant General Kuroyama, the official and commander of the Western Manchuria Defense Force, did the best he could and did what he had to do. General Nanjiro was waiting in fear for the attack of the independent division!

Information about the Kwantung Army's deployment of a large number of troops in Western Manchuria soon reached Tang Qiuli's hands, and the effect was even better than expected. "Yuan Jinghao, you are attractive enough. I asked Nanjiro to come up with four

A division and four brigades are here to defend you!" Tang Qiuli said to Yuan Jinghao jokingly.

Yuan Jinghao was not in a joking mood. Although the strength of the Kwantung Army defending Western Manchuria was roughly the same as that of the North China Field Corps, Yuan Jinghao still did not take it seriously. What he felt aggrieved was that the North China Field Corps had completed the task a few days ago.

In advance of the battle deployment, he could have launched an attack before the Kwantung Army took up defense and caught the little Japanese off guard. However, the division commander repeatedly delayed the launch of the attack!
