    The plan for the Far East campaign was progressing smoothly, with attacks from behind and blockades from the front, surprise troops were deployed on the left and right wings, and the Soviet Far East Front was surrounded. It only took a day or two, but Prince Zai Ren's mood at this moment was not as relaxed and uneasy as before. This kind of  Uneasiness comes from the feeling of powerlessness that cannot control the overall situation.

    The root cause of Prince Zai Ren's uneasiness was that Tang Qiuli's troops faced the tactics adopted by the Soviet army on the line from Chita to Irkutsk. Prince Zai Ren absolutely believed that some Chinese devil was deliberately doing this.  For this reason, now, he himself is not sure whether the two Soviet front armies will return to support when the Soviet Far East Front Army is surrounded by the Imperial Japanese Army, and whether the Chinese devil's troops can be as good as he judged.  , holding back the Soviets?

    "After being used once and turned around, he left himself with such a huge hidden danger that he could not control. This Chinese devil is cunning and cunning to the extreme!" In this regard, Prince Zai Ren could only sigh secretly.

    Knowing that the millions of Soviet troops stranded on the line from Chita to Irkutsk in the Far East were a factor beyond their control and judgment, and the more they determined the success or failure of their Far East campaign, however, Prince Zai Ren could no longer stop.  Or make adjustments to the campaign. The three armies of the empire have been fully deployed. The arrow has to be fired. Even if you want to terminate the campaign now, you cannot do it. At the very least, the Kwantung Army troops must join in.

    Prince Zai Ren temporarily put aside the uneasiness caused by Tang Qiuli in his heart and devoted all his attention to the final stage of the Far East Campaign.

    The Japanese army was intensifying the encirclement, and Zhukov, who was in the encirclement circle, felt the increasingly approaching pressure and great danger. After discovering the Japanese troops on the front line of the Breya Mountains on the left flank of the front army.  The next day, Zhukov received another piece of information that made matters worse: "The Front Army Headquarters, the First Reconnaissance Brigade of the Intelligence Department, was on the front line of the Kukan Mountains. It was discovered that the Japanese advance troops and many mountain passes in the Kukan Mountains had been occupied by the Japanese.  This place is less than a hundred kilometers away from the battlefield!¡±

    Zhukov¡¯s expression was dull as he listened to Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Godayav read this information.  His expression was dull, and the successive blows had left him without any excitement or surprise. So what if he knew the Japanese conspiracy?

    "A wolf comes at the front door, a tiger comes at the back door, two amazing troops of the Japanese army."  On the frontal battlefield, the Japanese Kwantung Army troops fought more and more fiercely. General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, seemed to have grasped Zhukov's weakness and did not dare to use all the forces of the Far East Front.  .  The mentality of fighting a decisive battle with the Kwantung Army brought the magnetic tactics to the extreme.

    Like brown sugar, they tightly held the troops of the Far East Front. Except for the three army groups responsible for covering, which were destined to stare at the battlefield, the 13th, 16th, and 16th troops who were originally scheduled to evacuate in the second echelon were  The troops of the Nineteenth Army also had to stop their evacuation operations and turn around to deal with the Kwantung Army's stalking.  In fact, so far, the Soviet Far East Front has been successfully dragged on the battlefield by the Japanese Kwantung Army and cannot escape.

    In the order of operations of the Far Eastern Front.  There are ten group armies in total, and the troops dragged on the battlefield include six group armies, accounting for about two-thirds of the total force. In addition, Zhukov also has the strength of a group army in his hands, but he  Dare not use it. This is the battle reserve of the front army, ready to be deployed in the most dangerous direction at any time. In other words, except for the three group army units that have withdrawn from the first echelon, the entire Far East Front army is still stuck on the battlefield.

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that the leading Japanese troops were found on both the left and right wings of the battlefield. So, how many troops are left in the Japanese troops following behind?  In what direction?  The reconnaissance force of the Front Army Intelligence Department has not yet sent any information with more reference value, but Zhukov knew that in a certain area in the Far East, there must be a large number of Japanese troops approaching.

    Faced with this situation, Zhukov was a little helpless. The only thing he could do was to order the troops of the second echelon to evacuate and get away from the battlefield as much as possible. Although this was difficult, it must be done. According to the order of the front army headquarters,  The 13th, 16th, and 19th Group armies of the second echelon each detached one corps of troops and held their positions. The rest of the troops gradually withdrew from their positions amidst the rumbling artillery fire of the Kwantung Army.

    On the opposite side of the battlefield, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, has been in a very happy mood in the past few days, which is called "so cool!" After several days of fighting, the facts have proved that General Nanjiro's wiseness and decisiveness have been defeated.  The Soviet army pressed and fought all the way from the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and the fight was in utter disarray. The Kwantung Army troops that had retreated to the Far East, with their half-broken bodies, launched an attack on the Soviet Far East Front Army that was several times their size. Most of the Kwantung Army generals  After not being optimistic and thinking it was a suicidal attack, the results exceeded the expectations of the Kwantung Army generals.

    After every tug-of-war,When the corps commanders and division commanders of various units of the Kwantung Army counted the casualties of their troops, they were surprised to find that although it was an offensive war, the casualties of the troops were far less than the previous defensive wars. Moreover, Su  The casualties of the Soviet troops exceeded their own. The corpses of Soviet soldiers scattered on the battlefield proved all this.

    As a result, the resentment and anger that Prince Zai Ren's seemingly command to kill with a knife had brought to the Kwantung Army generals had disappeared. The commanders of various Kwantung Army units fell in love with this style of fighting, and launched the main attack.  After encountering a strong counterattack by the Soviet army, they immediately retreated without leaving the battlefield. The Soviet army stopped counterattacking and looked for opportunities to resume the attack. The Kwantung Army generals proudly called this tactic "leading the nose!"

    Of course, as the battle progressed unexpectedly and smoothly, Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro's prestige also rose to unprecedented heights. The morale of the troops, which had been depressed after being chased, intercepted, and beaten by millions of Soviet troops, gradually recovered.  Later, the Kwantung Army became the most elite imperial army. During the battle, the Kwantung Army generals who tasted the sweetness felt ashamed of their short-sightedness.

    Looking back now, Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro's decision-making was so wise, decisive and far-sighted. In the midst of a lot of opposition, he fought against all the opinions and never started where he couldn't. The Kwantung Army was praised by everyone.  Flooded towards the headquarters.

    General Nanjiro enjoyed this praise very indifferently. The initial anxiety and uneasiness, worry and fear have become a thing of the past. What he has to do now is to listen to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, report on the battlefield situation and the casualties of each unit every day.  figures, as well as the Soviet casualties, and adopted a non-intervention approach to the specific attacks of each army and division.

    But there is one thing that General Nanjiro always talks about, "We must always remember that our main purpose is to stick to the Soviet army, not to inflict heavy damage to the Soviet army. Therefore, in terms of tactics, we must be more flexible."  Change, don¡¯t show off your courage!¡±

    In just a few words, General Nanjiro knew in his heart that after more than a month of bloody fighting from the outer Xing'an Mountains battlefield to the plain battlefield between two mountains in the Far East, the Kwantung Army generals at all levels commanded the battle and the battle had been completed.  Once you become master, you don't need your own specific guidance, and you can enjoy your time and relax, just control the general direction of the troops.

    Compared with the haggard and battered Zhukov, General Nanjiro even had a leisurely mood on the battlefield under heavy artillery fire. He tasted some sake every day and then fell asleep peacefully. Of course, the sound of gunfire was an essential lullaby.  The roar of cannons makes your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief sleep restless!

    Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, once said jokingly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, since the beginning of the battle, I have never seen you so relaxed and leisurely! If there is another group of geisha singing and dancing  , I almost had the illusion that this was not on the front line under heavy gunfire, but in a tavern in Ginza, Tokyo!¡±

    In response, General Nanjiro smiled slightly and said something very mysterious and profound, "Matsuda-kun, the overall situation has been decided. All we need to do is wait for the result!"

    Chief of Staff Matsuda deeply agreed. As the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, he naturally knew the overall situation of the current war situation, and the overall situation was determined. However, it can also be seen from this that there is a clear difference between General Nanjiro and Prince Zairen.

    Prince Zai Ren's vision was quite sensitive to various unexpected factors in the entire Far East and even Outer Mongolia, and he could smell them immediately. General Nanjiro's attention was on the battlefield in front of him.  It is Zhukov's tendency to become increasingly passive. In terms of overall strategic vision and sensitivity to the battlefield, General Nanjiro is obviously inferior to Prince Zaihi. Therefore, the two people are not the same heavyweight.

    The three armies of the first echelon of the Soviet Far East Front withdrew from the battlefield, the two armies that spread out to the left and right wings for strategic defense, and the one army that moved closer to the Outer Xing'anling Front as soon as possible were originally Zhukov's precautionary measures to ensure that  The front army's retreat route cannot be cut off by the Japanese army.

    However, Prince Zain was given every opportunity to defeat the Soviet Union. On the night of May 3, in Khabarovsk, at the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters, Prince Zain issued an order to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Union to the Kono Korean garrison of the Japanese Far East Front.  Operational orders for the units of the 15th, 18th and 21st Far Eastern Front armies.

    "Commander of the Far East Expeditionary Force, Lieutenant General Ono Norigoro, and Commander of the North Korean Garrison Army, General Tanaka Shinichi, your main task now is to completely annihilate the troops of the Soviet Far East Front in the existing area. For a specific battle plan, you  The department can formulate it on its own and report it to the campaign headquarters!¡±

    ¡°There is only one request from the headquarters, which is to completely, cleanly and neatly annihilate the three Soviet armies and completely seal the Soviet withdrawal route towards Chita.?!  Then, together with the Kwantung Army troops, they encircled the Soviet Far Eastern Front Army on the Far East battlefield!  "
