    Chapter 878: Kill with a Knife

    The war situation in the Far East reversed. Ueda Kenyoshi's more than 500,000 Kwantung Army troops who penetrated deep into the hinterland of Central Asia were quickly repelled by the Soviet troops commanded by Zhukov to the Ussuriysk and Arsenyev areas. This was once the Soviet Union.  The place where General Timoshenko, commander and political commissar of the Second Army of the Far East Military Region and a famous Soviet general, walked to Maicheng.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    The Second Group Army had more than 280,000 troops. In the end, only more than 80,000 people successfully broke through. This time, Zhukov brought superior troops and used the cutting-edge Far East Front troops to attack the Kwantung Army troops entangled in this area.  , carried out a fierce attack, and the Kwantung Army Commander Ueda Kenkichi's life was definitely not easy.

    Having fewer troops than the Soviet army is not the biggest problem. The key is that our troops have been fighting Timoshenko's Second Far East Army, Transcaucasus Front Army, and Kamchatka Front Army for more than two months, and they are already exhausted.  The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army's soldiers dropped sharply, and then they pursued General Kinski's troops for a long distance.

    To the east of the Ural Mountains, after taking a few heavy blows, they retreated in embarrassment. After a long journey, it was a miracle that the Kwantung Army was not overwhelmed. The combat effectiveness of the army was less than half.  Although there are still 500,000 troops, they can only be counted as more than 200,000 at the time of complete victory.

    Facing more than 600,000 Soviet troops, this battle was impossible to fight. Moreover, Zhukov had no intention of letting him go. Ueda Kenkichi also put away his usual arrogance and truthfully telegraphed the difficulties he faced to the base camp. At this time,  The so-called face can be scraped to the ground, stepped on with your feet, and the lining is gone. Face is nothing. However, Ueda Kenkichi knows in his heart that I am afraid that as soon as this telegram for help is sent out, he will be in the position of the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army.  , and can¡¯t stay much longer.

    The Far East Campaign was a mess, costing the lives of hundreds of thousands of Imperial soldiers and countless supplies, but the Empire did not get any benefits. This responsibility must be shouldered by someone. His Majesty the Emperor cannot make mistakes. He is a half-human and half-god. That is the only way.  The unfortunate child, Mr. Kenkichi Ueda, paid the price, albeit reluctantly.

    Even Emperor Hirohito wanted to kill Ueda Kenkichi, but he couldn't afford to lose the more than 500,000 soldiers under his command. They were the capital of the Japanese Empire to conquer China and Asia and dominate the world. Therefore, Hirohito chose the one he least wanted, and also  The only way was to make peace with General Tang Qiuli and allow more than 300,000 troops under the command of Ishihara Hikoro to withdraw from the Western Front to reinforce Ueda Kenkichi who was in trouble.

    In Jinzhou, western Liaoning, at the headquarters of the Northeastern Advancing Force of the ** Division, Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, deputy division commander and commander-in-chief, was studying the next action plan with Colonel Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff, in the headquarters. The core gist of the plan was to take advantage of the opportunity on the opposite side  The Kwantung Army troops, with the opportunity to reinforce Ueda Kenkichi, used all the troops of the East Command, plus the directly affiliated corps stationed on the front line of Shanhaiguan, to fully recover the entire Northeast.

    This is the permanent wish in Liu Tiehan's heart, and it is also the hope of all the soldiers in the East Finger Army. Most of the soldiers, including Liu Tiehan himself, are from the Northeast. The predecessor of the East Finger Army is the old foundation of the Northeast Army and the desire to regain their hometown.  , more urgent than that army. The battlefield situation is so favorable. If we don't take advantage of it, there will be no such good opportunity in the future.

    The Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side did not launch an attack for several hours. Even the heavy artillery unit was destroyed and there was no retaliatory attack. Liu Tiehan already understood that Ueda Kenkichi in the Far East was no longer close. This part of the Kwantung Army  The troops are going to reinforce, and the opportunity has come.

    According to Liu Tiehan's idea, the Japs' belongings and gold must still be taken back, and the fight to regain the Northeast is still a fight. These are two different things. As for whether they are dishonest, at the just-concluded brigade commanders' meeting, the question was raised  Liu Tiehan sneered at the idea of ??his subordinates. The person who said this was simply a fool. What kind of credit could he give to a little devil? According to Northeastern dialect, everyone should be treated the same way.

    Although the division commander Tang Qiuli had completely entrusted the war in Northeast China to Liu Tiehan, including negotiating terms with the Japanese, such a major military operation, especially the mobilization of regiments directly under the division headquarters, could not be hidden from Liu Tiehan.  Lifting action is related to the overall strategic situation. Besides, the military division does not have this tradition.

    Therefore, Liu Tiehan reported his campaign deployment to regain the Northeast and the results of the combat meeting to Tang Qiuli. Then, he and Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe continued to study the details of the campaign. Now Liu Tiehan has a passion  The surging feeling, I have been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally I can avenge my shame and regain the country.

    Even the mature and steady Liu Tiehan was moved by this passion. When he issued the order, his voice was raised a few degrees. The emotion of the commander-in-chief inevitably infected everyone in the headquarters, including the staff officers who came in and out.  With an excited smile on his face, the wind at his feet, looking forward to this exciting moment, the time for the launch of the battle is set to be exactly 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.??

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe was not so excited. He vaguely felt that the deputy division commander's plan for the campaign to recapture the Northeast seemed inconsistent with the division commander's original intention. This could be seen from the order to start the Fengtian and Liaodong Peninsula campaigns.  , "The first priority is to attract the Kwantung Army to return reinforcements. If the main force of the Kwantung Army arrives, it is not allowed to fight with it and it is better to retreat to the Jinzhou defense line."

    "It is not the first time that fighter planes have appeared to recapture the Northeast. There have been at least two opportunities, but the division commander did not issue an order. Does this contain the division commander's larger strategic intention?  He didn't believe that the deputy division commander didn't realize it. It was just that this opportunity was so tempting that it was difficult to hold back.

    Especially when the Soviet troops pressed into the front line of Ussuriysk and Arsenyev, the Kwantung Army could not escape at all, which made this opportunity even more clear. Looking at the excited Liu Tiehan, Zhao Yuhe swallowed the words on his lips.  After returning home, the report had already been reported to the division commander, and the division commander would give a clear answer. In his heart, Zhao Yuhe still had expectations for the battle to regain the Northeast. It was an honor for a soldier to personally participate in such a great battle.

    The staff officer quickly sent a reply from Tang Qiuli. After reading the telegram, Liu Tiehan's face darkened, and he handed the telegram to Zhao Yuhe with a look of disbelief. The telegram was extremely simple, "Commander Liu and Dong Dong  "Referring to all commanders to immediately cancel the plan to recapture the Northeast, it is particularly emphasized that when the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side withdraw, they must not attack. This is the final decision."

    Liu Tiehan was extremely depressed. He really couldn't understand why his division commander, who always created opportunities to kill the Japanese when he had no chance, would give up such a good opportunity?  He also vaguely saw something unusual in the previous few telegrams, but he couldn't guess the division commander's next move. Because of this, he became increasingly frustrated.

    Liu Tiehan, who was in an agitated mood and with a black line on his forehead, analyzed the meaning of Tang Qiuli's telegram in the headquarters. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe had ordered that the combat plan be cancelled. All troops were not allowed to do so before receiving Dongzhi's order.  Attacking without authorization will be punished by military law. This is the first time that the East Point Army has issued such an order.

    Zhao Yuhe didn't know how to persuade the depressed Liu Tiehan. Because of this order, the atmosphere in the headquarters disappeared and became more and more dull. At this time, the director of the operations department came in and reported: "Report to the general manager  The commander and chief of staff reported that the Japanese army sent a special envoy to meet with the commander-in-chief and said they had important matters to discuss. "

    Liu Tiehan suddenly found someone to vent his depression and anger on. The little Japanese he was kidnapping came to negotiate terms, and he shouted: "Tell the little Japanese envoy to get over here. I want to see what the little Japanese can do."  What a weird idea." This was the first time for the director of the operations department to see the calm commander-in-chief lose his temper like this. He had a lawsuit on his forehead and was stunned for a moment.

    Zhao Yuhe winked at the director of the operations department, who hurried out and notified the frontline troops to let them go. After a while, three Japanese came in to the headquarters. The first one was in a suit, short and bald.  , behind the gold-rimmed glasses is a pair of cunning eyes, and at first glance, he is a guy who is full of attention.

    The last two were officers in military uniforms, with the rank of major, with the customary arrogance and arrogance of Japanese officers. They looked like the invincible God of War. They were not tall to begin with, and their long command swords almost dragged to the ground.  , just like wearing a tail.

    Not only Zhao Yuhe, but everyone in the command post has great hostility towards this military uniform and these Japanese. After fighting with the beasts wrapped in these clothes for several years, this hostility has been engraved on them.  Deep in the heart of every East Point commander and warrior.

    The Japanese in suits are still very discerning. It can be seen at a glance that Liu Tiehan is the supreme commander here. He bowed slightly and said: "Dear General China, my name is Nishino Naganobu, in honor of His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire of Japan.  The decree was issued to negotiate with your army. The previous agreement reached with your country¡¯s General Tang Qiuli, including the additional conditions of five thousand kilograms of gold later proposed, the Empire of Japan is ready to accept and can be honored immediately. The empire has sufficient strength to come.  satisfy your request."

    This Nishino Naganobu is not simple, he speaks fluent Chinese, and in a few words, he can finish the essential issues. However, it sounds harsh no matter how hard it sounds. He has a condescending demeanor of giving alms, and his expression is like sending a beggar away, false.  Underneath his smile, he could not hide his deep contempt.

    Zhao Yuhe, who was attentive, heard the meaning of Nishino's words, and a surge of anger appeared on his face. Not only him, but also the soldiers who escorted the three Japanese came over. Zhao Yuhe was about to pick up the soldiers.  After talking, Liu Tiehan stood up angrily and shouted: "What, five thousand kilograms of gold, you are so beautiful. That was the price our teacher offered in Chongqing. It is different now. Go back and tell you that bullshit."  Emperor, no piece of equipment should be missing, 10,000 kilograms of gold, don¡¯t talk about anything less, everything will be shipped here within two days, get out, I have no time.Kung fu and brat bullshit.  "
