    The night of April 30, 1942, was destined to be an unusual day. In the vast land of the Far East, in the dark night, the three competing forces were all carrying out their plans according to their own plans.  With intense deployment, more than three million soldiers are about to engage in a bloody fight on this unusual night.

    After the commander of the Soviet Far East Front, General Zhukov, held a meeting to deploy troops for evacuation, he felt lingering uneasiness in his heart, prompting him to order the Front Army Intelligence Department to dispatch all reconnaissance troops, with the Far East battlefield as the center, within a range of 300 kilometers.  Outside, a cordon was deployed.

    In his subconscious, what he needed to guard against was not the independent divisions with more than a million soldiers stationed on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, but the Japanese who made him suspicious. Tang Qiuli's troops would not be there.  When he was entangled with the Kwantung Army, Dongjin joined the Far East battlefield. The reason was simple. It would not be of any benefit to him. Tang Qiuli had a deep blood feud with the Japanese, and he would not take action for the Japanese at this critical moment.  .

    But in his heart, Zhukov was not grateful to the Chinese. On the contrary, he was full of resentment. Being captured by Tang Qiuli during the first Outer Mongolia War was an everlasting pain in Zhukov's heart. This time, Tang Qiuli actually dispatched a  More than a million troops intercepted and killed the retreating Outer Khingan Mountains Front and Baikal Front along the way. Of course, they also included the Far East Front troops who were about to catch up.

    To be precise, all Soviet armies are targets for the Chinese to attack. As far away as General Vasilevsky's Outer Mongolia Front Army, as close as the Soviet troops in the Far East, and the Independent Division troops, suddenly  Appearing on the only way for the troops to go to Europe, it dispersed their energy to a great extent.  Zhukov believed that Tang Qiuli's move was a typical way of adding insult to injury and speculating!

    In the small town of Delen in southern Outer Mongolia, at the temporary headquarters of the Independent Division, the division commander Tang Qiuli just replied to Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, the deputy division commander who commands the East Point Force, North China Field Corps, and Niangziguan Garrison Corps in the Far East.  The telegram resulted in hundreds of thousands of landmines being buried in the Soviet Union's Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front and Lake Baikal Front.  On the only way to withdraw westward from Europe, these mines caused more than three million Soviet soldiers to suffer in the following days.

    In the urban area of ??Khabarovsk in the Far East.  Prince Zain, the chief of general staff of the Japanese base camp and commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign, defeated General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.  Troops affiliated with the Kwantung Army.  He should have been relieved to devote all his efforts to the attack on the Soviet Far East Front, but his heart was still nervous. The Kwantung Army was fine at dawn.  The offensive campaign is about to begin.

    Next, it depends on whether the Far East Expeditionary Forces and the North Korean garrison troops, which are outflanking and concealing, can reach the designated position on time.  And after the Kwantung Army's offensive began, it formed an encirclement against the Soviet Far East Front troops!

    If the Soviet army cannot be encircled according to the predetermined plan, the Kwantung Army musters up its last remaining courage to attack, which will not last for a few days. Under the Soviet counterattack, the nature of its weakness will soon be exposed. That is the real truth.  Tragic, not to mention the more than 800,000 soldiers of the Kwantung Army, they still cannot completely annihilate the Soviet Far East Front. For the ambitious Prince Zai Ren, such a result is absolutely unacceptable!

    Although the commanders of the two armies vowed not only to arrive at the designated location on time and launch smoothly, but also to do so in advance and never to delay, Prince Zairen knew in his heart how difficult it was!

    Even if you force the soldiers to run with bayonets, how much time can you get back?  Therefore, Prince Zai Ren's heart felt like a boiling pot was boiling. For a while, he longed for Zhukov's troops to be surrounded by his three armies and became a turtle in a urn. For a while, he was worried about Lao Gao's small strength of the Kwantung Army.  , they were all exhausted, and the troops of the Far East Expedition Army and the North Korean Resident Army were still running exhausted on the road.

    Then, after feasting on the blood of the Kwantung Army soldiers, the Soviet Far East Army swaggered after the other two Soviet troops. The three Soviet troops joined forces and faced the behemoth with more than four million troops.  What can be done?

    The ups and downs and uneasiness almost drove Prince Zai Ren crazy. He wanted to get rid of this emotion, but he couldn't. As soon as he closed his eyes, these random thoughts came to him, "  Bang! - Bang bang! "The door of the office was knocked softly again. This time, Prince Zai Ren was not angry. He very much hoped that a subordinate would report something to help him get out of this state.  Get out of here for now!

    Moreover, from the way he knocked on the door, Prince Zain could tell that it was the wise and scheming Major General Yamada, the new head of the General Staff Headquarters. "Is it Mr. Yamada? Please come in!" Prince Zain said gently.  shouted, with a gentle tone that made Major General Yamada outside the door slightly stunned.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Major General ?? pushed the door open and came in. Prince Zairen did not wait for him to salute, but said: "Yamada-kun came just in time. Anyway, there is nothing to do for the time being. What can we talk about? Let the guard inform the chef to prepare some sake and authentic Japanese food.  Let¡¯s have a few drinks to pass the time before the battle!¡±

    According to normal understanding, being able to chat with His Highness the Prince, while drinking sake and eating Japanese side dishes, is not a close confidant. Without this treatment, what a privilege it is. The smoke coming out of the ancestral grave is nothing more than that.  Major General Yamada is still not grateful?

    Unexpectedly, Major General Yamada's face was very serious, and he said respectfully but seriously: "Sorry, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the staff department does not have time to drink with you. Just now, the confidential room of the General Staff Headquarters received two urgent telegrams.  Regarding the situation of the Far East Expeditionary Force and the Korean Resident Army!¡±

    Yamada is so damn smart. He has reached the pinnacle of his skill in playing hard to get. The two telegrams in his hand are exactly the news that Prince Zairen is eager to see, as if he is eager to see his own mother.  Moreover, it was good news. Major General Yamada knew this clearly, so he acted like a loyal and typical Japanese emperor and refused the prince's invitation to drink sake with him unceremoniously.

    Major General Yamada knew better that His Highness the Prince would not only not blame himself, but would also praise him greatly and continue to deepen his good impression of him. As expected, when Prince Zai Ren heard the telegram that was his most worrying issue, his eyes were like hungry wolves.  , glowing green, asked eagerly regardless of his identity: "What's the content? Is it good news? Yamada-kun, read it to me right away!" He was even a little scared.  I dare not read the telegram in person.

    Major General Yamada secretly laughed in his heart, "What general demeanor, what royal demeanor, what kind of command and determination, bullshit! His Highness the Prince's current appearance is similar to that of a groom entering the bridal chamber for the first time. He is at a loss of ground!"

    Major General Yamada felt that the heat was almost there, so he unfolded one of the telegrams and read: "The commander of the Far East Expedition Force, Lieutenant General Ono Norigoro, reported that in order to arrive on time and in advance, our headquarters designated a gathering place and used all mechanized vehicles to transport five  A first-class division with about 180,000 troops and four heavy artillery regiments set out early. At present, the advanced troops have reached an area less than 150 kilometers away from the battlefield. "

    "There will be another eight hours or so before the battle can begin. Our main force can all arrive at the designated position before 6:00 pm on May 2nd and carry out the battle in accordance with the orders of the headquarters!"

    "Yao Xi! - Yao Xi! Great!" Prince Zai Ren rubbed his hands and cheered. He completely ignored his demeanor and paced back and forth in the office as if possessed by an evil spirit.

    Major General Yamada saw this and remained calm. After Prince Zain calmed down a little, he took out a second telegram and read: "General Tanaka Shinichi, commander of the North Korean Cantonment Army, reported that our department will strictly implement the general  Your Excellency the Commander¡¯s order, however, because the road conditions are very bad, the marching speed of the troops has been greatly affected. Although we have tried every means, the overall marching speed has not been significantly improved!¡±

    "What? - Shut up!" Prince Zai Ren screamed strangely, interrupting Major General Yamada's words. He was so excited that he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head. His eyes widened and his eyebrows stood up. He was about to  Losing his temper, Major General Yamada continued: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, there are more below!"

    "Huh!" Prince Zai Ren breathed out, looking at Major General Yamada with a bit of anger and laughter, and urged him harshly: "Why don't you read it quickly?" He couldn't blame this guy for being mysterious. After all, he was  He interrupted himself.

    "Although there were many practical difficulties, all the soldiers of our Korean garrison overcame all difficulties and sent out elite search troops to find shortcuts. With the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor, we finally found a small road that could save a day and a half. To this end, I  Already five hours ago, eight first-class divisions with about 280,000 troops were ordered to advance lightly and take small roads to the scheduled assembly point. "

    "If there are no accidents along the way, the troops taking shortcuts can arrive at the designated location and launch smoothly before 11 noon on May 1st. At present, the leading troops of this unit have arrived less than 140 kilometers away from the Far East battlefield.  In the area, our main force will continue to march according to the original route. All of them will arrive at the designated position and start the battle before 5 p.m. on May 2!"

    Oops, all the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed. The anxiety and worry of the past few days disappeared in an instant. Prince Zairen shouted excitedly: "Yao Xi! - Yao Xi! The blessing of Amaterasu."  , His Majesty the Emperor's blessing, the Japanese Empire is so lucky, so why worry about the Soviet army not being able to survive, we can expect a complete victory in the Far East Campaign!" He was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
