Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 873: Disrupting the situation

At two o'clock in the morning on November 10, Timoshenko commanded more than 80,000 remaining troops of the Soviet Second Far East Army to launch a desperate breakout due north of Arsenyev.

Timoshenko's breakout operation greatly exceeded the expectations of Kwantung Army Commander Ueda Kenkichi. It was only a matter of time before the Soviets broke through. They didn't expect it to come so quickly. According to Ueda Kenkichi's estimate, how could the exhausted Soviet army

We have to take advantage of the fact that the imperial army has not attacked for a few days, take a good breather, and then break out.

Ueda Kenkichi's wishful thinking was a good one. He ordered the troops to stop the attack and created the illusion of a long-term siege. It can be said to be paralyzing Timoshenko. It was also a clever move to disintegrate the combat effectiveness of the Soviet soldiers. They were in a tense fighting state for a long time.

The Soviet soldier's head was so tense that he was almost in a state of numbness.

Once they relax and there is no pressure from the imperial army, the mentality of the Soviet people will undergo subtle changes. The mood of fighting to the death will disappear, which will affect the soldiers' fighting will. They will consolidate the encirclement on the periphery and establish blocking positions, even if they are trapped.

The Soviets must also be trapped to death. This move is very vicious and targets the characteristics of Soviet soldiers being surrounded for a long time. For example, if a vehicle that is moving rapidly brakes suddenly, the result will definitely be a crash and death.

Ueda Kenkichi was cunning. On the one hand, he despised Chinese culture. On the other hand, he wanted to use Chinese strategies. Unfortunately, he was not good at academics and was a slut. This was probably a common problem among the Japanese at that time. On the one hand, he tried his best to remove the influence of his cultural motherland on them.

The influence, on the other hand, is to enjoy the essence of this culture with peace of mind, but it is labeled by the Japanese themselves. This kind of self-deception is most in line with the Japanese character.

Timoshenko was not fooled. As a smart commander, he knew the current situation of the army very well. He relied on his breath to support him. After not fighting for a long time, this breath was exhausted, and the Second Army was completely finished. It can be said that

If you don't fight, you will collapse.

Relying on the bravery of the bloody battle with the Kwantung Army for dozens of days, the troops of the Second Far East Army quickly broke through the Kwantung Army's encirclement. Tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers rushed out. Timoshenko's heart was not at all relaxed. This was just

It was just the beginning, and what we had to face next was the encirclement and interception by the Kwantung Army.

Ueda Kenkichi knew his own affairs. With these hundreds of thousands of troops, he could form a tight encirclement in the Arsenyev area with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers. This was a fantasy. Being able to form an encirclement was already the limit of the Kwantung Army.

Not to mention the depth of the siege and the ability to take care of the main directions, Ueda Kenji has wasted countless brain cells.

As soon as Timoshenko's breakout began, Ueda Kenkichi understood that the small amount of troops could not stop the flood of Soviets. Therefore, when the Soviet troops broke through and headed north, he was not too anxious and ordered his troops to pursue them.

At the same time, the First Army in the direction of Khabarovsk was ordered to immediately intercept the Soviet troops and finally eliminate them in the wild without fortifications.

The First Army of the Kwantung Army did not fight easily in the Khabarovsk area. The Soviet Transcaucasus Front received a death order. The order from the Soviet General Staff was that even if it could not rush into the narrow corridor, it would be able to respond

Timoshenko also wanted to tightly entangle the First Army of the Kwantung Army in the Khabarovsk area so that it could not divide its forces to intercept Timoshenko's breakout troops.

After receiving the order from His Excellency the Commander, Lieutenant General Takashima Hikoro, the commander of the First Army of the Kwantung Army, frowned like an iron knot. Takashima was very annoyed by this order from His Excellency the Commander. In Khabarov

Although he was not under too much pressure in the Skok region, he still had ten fingers to press on fleas and was unable to do anything at the same time.

Although the Soviets on the opposite side could not break through his blocking defense line, the battle was still going on. Takashima could also see that the Soviet army had received a death order and would never stop until they broke the blocking defense line. If they divided their forces to intercept Tiemu.

Xinge's remaining troops had fewer frontal blocking forces, and their own blocking defense line was immediately in danger.

Takashima had no choice but to order the 25th Division, the 31st Division, the 4th Mixed Brigade, and the 7th Brigade, a total of more than 80,000 troops, to attack the Bigin River south of Khabarovsk.

On the first line, a blocking defense line was established to block Timoshenko's troops here, and together with the troops that caught up later, they attacked the Soviet army.

After withdrawing the troops of two divisions and two brigades from the blocking defense line, the troops in the frontal blocking position were stretched thin. Takashima immediately felt the pressure. The Transcaucasus Front troops received orders from the General Staff to do whatever it took to

Respond to the breakout of Timoshenko's troops.

The commander of the front army retained General Kinski and was dissatisfied with the results of more than two months of fighting by his troops. The continuous attacks not only failed to break the blocking defense line of the Kwantung Army, but instead the Kwantung Army's troops attacked more and more. Seeing the old

His comrades were besieged, but he was unable to do anything. General Kinski felt very angry.

Now, Timoshenko has broken out and is heading in his own direction. If the current deadlock is not broken, not to mention that Timoshenko is dissatisfied, the General Staff and the Supreme Commander will not be able to explain the situation and retain Kinski to command the troops.

, attack Takashima's blocking defense line with all their strength, use all the weapons at the bottom of the box, and leave no reserve team at all.

The troops of the Transcaucasian Front fought tooth and nail. The fighting in the Khabarovsk area suddenly reached a boiling point. It spread across dozens of kilometers of front lines. The sound of gunfire was earth-shattering. The Soviets fought tooth and nail. The First Army on Takashima was immediately overwhelmed.

Once the blocking defense line was breached, the blocking Kwantung Army troops were forced to retreat to the second blocking position.

The battle line that had been in a stalemate for two months showed signs of being unfavorable to the Kwantung Army due to the sudden outbreak of the Soviet army. Takashima's First Army was constantly forced to shrink its blocking defense line under the fierce attacks of the Soviet Transcaucasus Front.

After fighting for a day and a night, Takadao was shocked to find that the blocking position had retreated dozens of kilometers.

This is definitely a good sign. In front, the Transcaucasian Front troops are desperately attacking, and behind, Timoshenko's breakout troops are coming over, attacking from both sides. It's not certain who is being surrounded? He quickly told the tense people in the Khabarovsk area

Regarding the situation, I telegraphed Commander Ueda Kenkichi, and the answer he got was: "The Soviet Transcaucasus Front troops must resolutely block it, and Timoshenko's defeated troops must also be blocked."

After receiving the order, Takashima Hikoro almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He knew how much money he had in hand, and it would not be a problem to block the Transcaucasian Front. He could shoulder the task of blocking the Transcaucasian Front, which would be difficult for others. But the military order fell like a mountain, and Takashima

We can only fight for our lives and fight with fear.

Kenkichi Ueda's pursuit of Timoshenko's troops that broke through did not go well. North of Arsenyev, he was stubbornly blocked by the Soviet army. After fighting for a day, he finally took the position. When he got to the ground, he saw that Kenkichi Ueda was

His nose was so nervous that all those who blocked the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops were wounded Soviet soldiers, and not even a single prisoner was captured.

The heroic blocking of more than 10,000 wounded Soviet soldiers bought Timoshenko a precious day and enabled more than 80,000 Soviet soldiers to temporarily escape from the passive situation of being tightly held by the Kwantung Army. However, these more than 10,000 Soviet soldiers

The injured will stay here forever.

Ueda Kenkichi felt that the situation was not good. Takashima was in a tight position, and the blockade was blocked for another day. Timoshenko's troops, who had been besieging them for more than two months, were afraid that they were about to escape, so he had no choice but to order the troops to fight with the Soviet Union in Kamchatka Peninsula.

The Second Army, which was formed into a group by the Chaga Front, immediately left the battlefield and rushed to the Khabarovsk area to join the First Army and must once again surround Timoshenko's remaining army.

Until now, Ueda Kenkichi's heart was filled with panic. The cooked duck flew away. It was all those bastards in the base camp who were giving random orders. If the troops were not transferred back to Manchuria, Timoshenko would not be able to escape anyway. He was feeling depressed. Then, he

A telegram from the Second Army read, "Your Excellency, Commander, our troops are entangled with the Soviet army and are unable to leave the battlefield. If we forcefully leave, we will be followed and pursued. In this case, the casualties of the troops will increase dramatically."

Ueda Kenkichi believed that the situation of the Second Army was true. After fighting with the opponent for more than two months, it was not something you could just leave. Moreover, the strength of the Second Army was not superior to that of the Soviet Kamchatka Front. At the time,

The purpose was not to eliminate the Soviet army, but to prevent the Kamchatka Front from moving south and reinforce Timoshenko's troops.

Now, the fighting between the two has become a tense situation, and one is still chasing. The outcome may not be known. Ueda Kenkichi's anger explodes uncontrollably, and nearly 600,000 troops are dispatched. The fight is like this.

Unwilling to be reconciled, the Kwantung Army did not take much advantage in the Arsenyev siege, and its casualty ratio with the Soviet army was close to one to one.

But in addition to cursing those bastards in the base camp who commanded blindly, he could only order the troops to chase the breaking out Timoshenko troops. Seeing the blood-red eyes of the Commander, the staff officers in the Kwantung Army's frontline headquarters knew that the Commander

Your Excellency is about to kill someone again, and everyone is hiding away. Yesterday, a squadron leader with no eyesight ordered the troops to rest for ten minutes. When he was touched by the Commander, he chopped off the poor guy's head with a knife.

The Kwantung Army units that rushed back to the Liaodong Peninsula were originally tired troops coming off the battlefield. All their energy and ferocity had been completely worn away in more than two months of fighting.

The incomplete division reached the Shangjiahe area west of Fengtian and was suddenly ambushed by Liu Tiehan's two brigades.

Five hours later, the 18th Division of the Kwantung Army, which hurriedly arrived from the Far East, with more than 21,000 people, disappeared amid the fierce artillery fire of the East Point troops. The main force of the Kwantung Army that arrived later saw

All that was seen was the corpses of Kwantung Army soldiers scattered everywhere, and the huge crater that still gave off the lingering smoke.

According to the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, the East Command troops immediately withdrew from the Liaodong Peninsula and formed a confrontation with the more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops who arrived at the Fengtian line. Two hours later, Liu Tiehan commanded the troops to attack the main force of the Kwantung Army.

Launching a full-line offensive, the Kwantung Army's troops, whose foothold was not stable, were repelled one after another.

Tang Qiuli, who was far away in Dingbian, smiled like an old fox after receiving Liu Tiehan's telegram, which made the Mei sisters next to him feel a chill. The delicate balance he expected in the Far East and Northeast regions was about to be realized.

, how can you not be happy.
