Age of Conquest Reborn

It is of course the best to completely annihilate the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force in Temple Street in one battle. Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, the deputy division commander who is responsible for commanding the independent division's more than one million troops in the Far East battlefield, does not want to delay the war for too long and sees the troops coming from Siberia.

The cold wind is becoming more and more biting day by day. Soon, the battlefield in the Far East will be a land of ice and snow. It will be very difficult for the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force who are blocked on the front line of Temple Street.

But it is equally difficult for the more than one million independent division troops. Heavy snow has blocked the mountains and roads, and supplies of ammunition, materials and supplies will be even more difficult. With more than one million troops fighting, the daily consumption is quite staggering. The cold Far East battlefield is very difficult for them.

The Japanese army and the independent division troops were equally cruel.

But Liu Tiehan knew that it was obviously unrealistic to take down more than 500,000 Japanese troops of the Far East Expeditionary Force in a short period of time, unless two more corps of more than 1 million troops were mobilized to form an absolute military advantage.

On the front line of Temple Street, a large and airtight net was woven. Otherwise, the elimination of more than 500,000 Japanese troops would inevitably be a protracted war of attrition, killing Zai Ren's troops alive.

Liu Tiehan preferred quick battles. He once proposed to the division commander that he would transfer two regiments from the Northeast battlefield to join the Far East battlefield. However, he later gave up the idea. He had already judged that the division commander did not want to add more troops to the Far East.

Therefore, his battle deployment was based on the idea of ​​blocking in the east, attacking in the west, gradually consuming the Japanese troops, and finally gathering them in the Temple Street area to annihilate them.

In this case, the East Point troops' attack on Japan's Far East Expeditionary Force needs to be controlled at an appropriate degree. It cannot be forced too hard. Combined with the more than 400,000 troops directly under the corps, two attacks are needed to defeat more than 500,000 Japanese troops.

It was an easy thing, but what Liu Tiehan wanted was not to defeat, but to completely annihilate. On the ice and snow battlefield, it was not what he wanted to do to disrupt the battle like a duck. Therefore, the directly affiliated corps took a defensive position on the front line of Temple Street.

"Reporting to the deputy division commander, I just received a telegram from Chief of Staff Zhao, the acting commander of the directly affiliated corps!" Just as Liu Tiehan was deep in thought, Major General Yang Ketian, chief of staff of the East Point, came in with a cold air and said with a telegram.

Liu Tiehan's brows couldn't help but move. He asked, "What is the content of the telegram?"

Yang Ketian said succinctly: "Chief of Staff Zhao's previous judgment has been confirmed!"

"So, when Zai Ren saw that there was no way to go on Temple Street, he changed his direction to Magadan?" Liu Tiehan said with a frown. For him, this was not good news, and he least wanted to see it.

The situation still emerged. The Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force did not stick to the front line of Temple Street. The war of attrition turned into a pursuit war.

Yang Ketian nodded and said: "Yes. According to the telegram from Chief of Staff Zhao, two hours ago, the intensity of the Japanese Far East Dispatch Army's attack on the Temple Street front line and the directly affiliated corps blocking position suddenly weakened a lot, especially the heavy

The firepower has been significantly reduced. Based on this, we can judge that the old devil Zai Ren has gone in the direction of Magadan!"

"Did the Japanese resistance encountered during the East Point attack still be that strong?" Liu Tiehan asked again.

Yang Ketian answered succinctly: "Yes, the frontal offensive troops of the East Point were fiercely resisted by the Japanese army, and the battle was very fierce. Of course, this was also the result of you not investing all the troops and heavy weapons of the East Point troops. Otherwise, Japan's Far East

The dispatched troops can’t stop us! With this skill, we can fight through each other!”

Hearing Yang Ketian's words, which were somewhat complaining, Liu Tiehan smiled and then asked: "What countermeasures did Chief of Staff Zhao take?"

"According to the changes in the enemy's situation, Chief of Staff Zhao dispatched six brigades of troops when the directly affiliated corps had just arrived at the Temple Street line, and deployed them along the way from Temple Street to Magadan, preparing to block and delay the retreat of the Japs at all levels. According to the

According to Chief of Staff Zhao's deployment, the Japanese Far East Expedition Force is heading towards Magadan, and there are many difficulties along the way!" Yang Ketian still answered succinctly.

Liu Tiehan pondered for a moment and said: "Ketian, give an order to all the troops in the East Point. Suddenly use all the troops to attack across the entire line, in order to annihilate the Japanese troops on the opposite side as quickly as possible, and then chase the Japanese troops. Since Zai Ren wants to run away,

, we can’t let him go easily! We chase and fight him all the way, even if Zai Ren reaches Magadan, he can’t escape without a large number of troop transport ships. The Japanese can’t bring out too many troop transport ships now!”

"In addition, I sent a telegram back to Chief of Staff Zhao. The troops directly under the corps on the Temple Street front line immediately launched a full-line counterattack against the Japanese army. Then, they pursued the retreating Japanese army and fiercely attacked them. They also told him that the blocking troops deployed along the Temple Street direction leading to Magadan

, we don’t necessarily have to block the retreating Japanese troops, we just need to slow down their retreat speed. The next scheduled battlefield to annihilate the enemy is on the front line of Magadan!”

"Also, give an order to Meng Qingpeng, the commander of the aviation patrol area in Outer Mongolia, to dispatch all fighter jets and bombers to carry out continuous bombing and air raids day and night against the Japanese troops retreating to Magadan!"

"It should have been like this a long time ago! I really don't understand, why do you have a backup plan?" Yang Ketian muttered.

"What did you say?" Liu Tiehan turned to look at Yang Ketian and asked calmly.

"No, deputy division commander, I didn't say anything. I went to convey your order immediately. You don't know that the commanders of the seven or eight brigades who were not involved in the battle did not annoy me to death! They called me all day long.

, I dare not call you to the staff office!" Yang Ketian said with a grin, and then hurriedly left.

In fact, Liu Tiehan had already heard what Yang Ketian said, "Am I too conservative? If the division commander was commanding the Far East campaign, what kind of fighting style would he adopt?" He thought with a smile and shook his head.

Far East Temple Street, the blocking position of the independent division's direct corps. In the dark night, the continuous artillery fire illuminated half of the sky. The exploding flames vaguely reflected the charging figures of Japanese soldiers. The huge explosions echoed on the battlefield.

, the sea breeze from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, with a biting coolness, blew over strongly, but it could not dissipate the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood that filled the night sky!

The Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force is desperately attacking the blocking positions of the directly affiliated corps on the Temple Street front line. Major General Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the independent division and acting commander of the directly affiliated corps, has most of his body exposed outside the armored command vehicle, holding up a telescope.

Observing the battlefield situation carefully, from time to time there were stray bullets with screaming sounds passing by from a distance, and the artillery shells from both sides of the war crisscrossed each other in the night sky above their heads.

Even through the telescope, you can see the bodies of Japanese soldiers who were blown up by artillery shells. The location directly under the corps headquarters is so close to the front line. It has to be said that it is a risky move. For these, Zhao Yu and Hun Ran

He didn't realize it, but his guard captain was so nervous that he was sweating all over. In addition to Zhao Yuhe's armored command vehicle, there were more than a dozen communication vehicles, guard vehicles, etc. scattered around. This was Zhao Yuhe's

Mobile command structure, simple and capable!

The Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force's attack on the front line of Temple Street began to weaken. Zhao Yuhe had noticed it two hours ago. The only explanation was that it confirmed his judgment that Zai Ren planned to go in the direction of Magadan, and now

The Japanese army's attack could not be a means of losing soldiers to save vehicles. It used part of its troops to maintain the offensive on the Temple Street front line and used it to cover the withdrawal of its main force from the Temple Street battlefield.

When heading to the battlefield in the Far East, the division commander sent a telegram to predict the possible evacuation route of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force. Temple Street and Magadan were the must-pass places. Accordingly, Zhao Yuhe placed the main force of the directly affiliated corps on Temple Street.

On the front line, another six main brigades were dispatched to make preventive deployments along Temple Street to Magadan, taking advantage of the favorable terrain, because no matter from which point of view, if the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force wanted to withdraw into the country, it would have to take Temple Street to Sakhalin.

, are all the best routes.

Zhao Yuhe also considered sending troops to seize the Magadan port and completely block the other escape route for the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force, but after consulting the commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign, Deputy Division Commander Liu Tiehan, he did not receive approval.

Zhao Yuhe understands Liu Tiehan's worries. After all, Japan's Far East Expeditionary Force has a huge force of more than 500,000 people. To capture Magadan, it will not be enough without more than seven or eight brigades. If Zai Ren does not take Magadan,

Instead, they took Temple Street and detached about one-third of the troops directly under the corps. Faced with more than 500,000 Japanese troops who were desperately trying to break through and escape, one can imagine the pressure they endured.

Even if the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force is blocked, the casualties of the directly affiliated corps will be very huge. This is obviously not a situation Liu Tiehan wants to see. "Chief of Staff, the former deputy division commander Liu is calling!" said the deputy division commander of the Staff Office.

The words of Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhenmin, the director of the division and acting chief of staff of the directly affiliated corps, interrupted Zhao Yuhe's thinking.

With a gust of cold wind, Wu Zhenmin got into the armored command vehicle. Zhao Yuhe retracted his body and asked: "What did Deputy Commander Liu say?" His eyes were shining brightly in the dark night.

Wu Zhenmin replied succinctly: "The Far East Campaign Command issued an order, and the directly-affiliated corps immediately launched a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese troops attacking the Temple Street front line, and chased and attacked the retreating Japanese troops. In the order, Deputy Commander Liu also emphasized that the directly-affiliated corps expected

The blocking troops deployed along the road from Temple Street to Magadan do not necessarily block the retreating Japanese troops, they only need to slow down their retreat speed. The next scheduled battlefield to annihilate the enemy is on the Magadan front line!"

"Magadan?" Zhao Yuhe's eyebrows trembled. He understood Liu Tiehan's intention. The East Point and the directly affiliated regiments pursued the retreating Japanese army and held on. During the pursuit, they could also achieve the effect of consuming the Japanese troops.

, I am afraid that by the time Magadan arrives, Zai Ren will not have many troops left. This is a safe strategy, but Zhao Yuhe does not completely agree. He always believes that Deputy Commander Liu was too conservative when commanding the Far East campaign.

However, it is useless to say this now. "Convey my order. The troops on the front line of Temple Street will begin a full-scale counterattack in thirty minutes!" Zhao Yuhe said.
