Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Before the military meeting held by the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters, there was an unexpected battle for merit. Two army lieutenants drew their swords at each other. After Prince Zai Ren, the commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign, appeared on the scene, the final result made these people even more confused.  The senior Japanese generals were almost stunned.  All of them had big mouths and a look of astonishment on their faces.

    Prince Zairen greatly admired Lieutenant General Haruhiko, the commander of the Far East Expeditionary Force's Third Army, and dismissed Lieutenant General Kikuchi, the commander of the First Army. In despair, Lieutenant General Kikuchi also risked his life.  Shout out "His Royal Highness is being unfair!"

    These words are extremely treasonous. You dare to openly accuse Prince Zai Ren. Who is His Highness the Prince? He has such a noble status, respected position, and so much authority that he does not think of anyone other than His Majesty the Emperor. He can order the army with just one word.  The middle and important generals fell from their horses and disappeared, and the junior generals were suddenly promoted to high positions. The generals of the three armies affiliated with the Far Eastern Campaign Headquarters experienced honor, disgrace, and relegation, all in the hands of one person.

    As soon as Lieutenant General Kikuchi finished speaking, a gloomy cold air suddenly appeared in the conference room, rising from the hearts of the Japanese generals, "Next, His Highness the Prince will definitely be furious. This poor guy Kikuchi will bring down the country."  Damn it! Sure enough, impulse is the devil!¡±

    General Ono Nourigoro was so angry that he was livid. From the bottom of his heart, he still admired Lieutenant General Kikuchi. This guy's commanding style was brave and fierce, and he had the offensive spirit of the Japanese Empire's samurai. The first army was also dispatched to the Far East.  They are an ace force in the army. Although the words they just said were punishments, they also imply an excuse for the two subordinates. As for the candidate who His Royal Highness wants to replace the commander of the First Army, Xu Tu has to deal with it.  The results may not be that bad.

    If it hadn¡¯t been for Kikuchi¡¯s unexpected appearance, this matter would have been over. As for how to deal with these two bastards after returning to the army, that is an internal matter within the Far East Expedition Force.  There is a lot of room for flexibility, but after Kikuchi shouted these words, there was no room for maneuver. It was equivalent to Kikuchi forcing himself into a dead end, and maybe even hurting himself.

    General Ono stared with burning eyes.  Lieutenant General Kikuchi, who was stiffening his neck and staring with a bull's-eye look, had a look of dissatisfaction and displeasure on his face. He wished he could kick this guy to death for not knowing how to advance or retreat, what to do, what to do, and how to cause a huge disaster.

    In this case, General Ono had to do something.  Instead of waiting for His Highness the Prince to burst into anger and Kikuchi suffer a loss, it would be better for him to take the initiative again and save Kikuchi first.

    In such a scene, there are only four people who are important enough to smooth things over, but look at their appearance.  No one can count on it. The indifference on General Nanjiro's face, his attitude that it has nothing to do with him, is already obvious. General Tanaka Shinichi's eyes are flickering, with a hint of schadenfreude. Headquarters Chief of Staff Shinno  Lieutenant General Long Zhao had more black lines on his forehead than he did, Major General Yamada, the head of the General Staff Headquarters.  His face was neither yin nor yang, his eyelids were drooped, and he obviously meant to stay out of the matter.

    Gritting his teeth, General Ono could only bite the bullet and rush forward.  He yelled: "Baga! - you bastard, how can you talk to the Commander-in-Chief?" Then he rounded his arms again and said, "Bah, bang, bang!" and gave Lieutenant General Kikuchi a few loud mouths, his face  Lieutenant General Kikuchi's face was still red and swollen, like a braised pig's head, and even his nose was bleeding.

    Prince Zai Ren looked at all this coldly. When General Ono finished the fight, he still roared. He raised his hand and gave a slight signal. General Ono immediately shut up. Prince Zai Ren looked at the embarrassed Kikuchi with unkind eyes.  Will.

    After a long time, which was so long that the Japanese generals felt nervous, Prince Zai Ren slowly said: "Unfair treatment? - This is the first time I have heard such words. Okay, very good, you can complain to the base camp.  , But now you are obviously not qualified to participate in such a military meeting!" Then, he waved his hands in disgust, and turned around to walk towards the rostrum, without even glancing at the corner of his eyes.  Lieutenant General Kikuchi.

    Chief of Staff Shinye shouted angrily, "Guards!" Four tall and round guards rushed in, "Drag this guy out and lock him in an empty room first. After the meeting is over, I will deal with him personally!"  Lieutenant General Shinno roared angrily.

    Four guards came up and set them up like a walking corpse. Lieutenant General Kikuchi, who was stunned on the spot, left. All the Japanese generals lamented in their hearts, "This guy Kikuchi is completely finished. What kind of punishment will he receive next? Who will  There¡¯s no way to guess, but the result will definitely be disastrous!¡±

    Lieutenant General Haruhiko on the side, Akatsuki was alert, but he was also confused by this series of changes. It was only then that he came to his senses. No matter how he said it, he had something to do with it. Kikuchi was unlucky, and he didn't express it at all.  None, what kind of appearance does it look like in the eyes of Prince Zai Ren and so many generals????

    Lieutenant General Haruhiko took a step forward and said with a sign of deep sorrow, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, sirs, this happened because of Haruhiko. Haruhiko feels that he is not to blame. Please punish him, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!"

    This move is very beautiful. It means retreating in order to advance. He takes the initiative to stretch out his face for Prince Zairen to hit. It is much more acceptable and comfortable than what the stubborn donkey Kikuchi did. As expected, Prince Zairen slightly  Smiling, he said softly: "Haruhiko-kun, don't say any more. I have a general understanding of what happened just now. It has nothing to do with you. It was all about that bastard Kikuchi provoking trouble. How can I punish you? Okay,  Go back to your seats, the meeting is about to begin!"

    After saying that, Prince Zairen, who was smiling all over, stepped forward in an extremely rare move, patted Lieutenant General Haruhiko's shoulder affectionately, and gave an encouraging look. Everything seemed like a dream, Lieutenant General Haruhiko's head was full of thoughts.  With messy thoughts and a blank mind, he returned to his seat unconsciously and pinched his thigh hard. The severe pain brought him back to reality.

    Looking up at Prince Zai Ren who was sitting at the top of the throne, the complex emotions in my heart could not be expressed in words. They were both heartfelt excitement and flattering, and also the unpredictable and unfathomable feeling towards someone in a high position.  The fear of the mind.

    After Prince Zai Ren sat down, he glanced around the entire audience with sharp eyes. Under this aggressive look, the Japanese generals with heavy troops in their hands couldn't help but lower their heads, "It should be to announce the attack on that unlucky guy Kikuchi."  Has the punishment been decided?" They secretly guessed.

    Unexpectedly, everyone guessed wrong again. Prince Zai Ren did not mention the issue just now, but went straight to the topic, "Gentlemen, in the final stage of the Far East campaign, please take your time from the busy war."  The front line is transferred back, and there is only one thing, and that is how to completely annihilate the Soviet Far East Front Army in the shortest time with the lowest casualties of the imperial soldiers! Next, Major General Yamada, the head of the Far East Campaign Headquarters Staff Headquarters, announced.  Battle deployment and orders!"

    The Japanese generals below did not react much. They were all officers of the headquarters anyway, but Chief of Staff Shinno turned pale and his head buzzed. It was his duty as chief of staff to announce the battle deployment and orders.  However, His Royal Highness was handed over to Yamada, a guy with ulterior motives who was not even the deputy chief of staff. Could it be that there was something fishy about it?

    Ignoring the resentful eyes of Chief of Staff Shinno, Major General Yamada opened the folder and announced the campaign deployment and orders unhurriedly but sonorously.

    Zai Ren personally formulated the final general attack plan against the Soviet Far East Front. It was very simple and direct. The general attack time was set at dawn on May 20. The specific plan was to dispatch troops to the Far East and North Korean garrison troops.  , from the current position, press forward across the board, leaving no gap at the junction of the two armies.

    Choosing to launch a general attack on the Soviet Far East Front five days later at dawn on May 21st, Prince Zai Ren had no choice but to do so. It would take about four days at the fastest for the two troops compressed from the front to arrive at the scheduled time.  In the attack launch area, time is already very tight. There is only one day to prepare for the attack, which is a bit hasty. However, Prince Zain must do this. In his words, "Delay will lead to change!"

    The troops of the Kwantung Army retreated more than 50 kilometers on the existing front, and set up blocking lines at favorable terrain to block the Soviet army's escape into Manchuria. This order greatly exceeded General Nanjiro's expectations.  He was very reluctant to withdraw the Kwantung Army troops who were fighting smoothly from the line of fire. However, based on his trust in Prince Zain's command ability and his accurate grasp of the battle situation, General Nanjiro remained silent.

    As long as Prince Zai Ren makes such a deployment, he himself understands why he is doing this to prevent Zhukov from jumping over the wall in a hurry and continuing to break out in the direction of Chita when surrounded by imperial troops on all sides. There is no way out at all. Then, think about it differently.  Will Zhukov make a desperate move, burn all boats, turn south, break through the Kwantung Army's positions, advance into Manchuria, and fight?

    If it were other Soviet generals, Prince Zai Ren would never think this way, but Zhukov, he was absolutely worried. This man could be used by any means. There were not many imperial troops left in Manchuria.  More than ten thousand Soviet troops marched into Manchuria. Even if they were completely wiped out in the end, the damage and impact they could cause would be far-reaching. Therefore, they had to be prepared for Zhukov's attack.

    On both sides of the Breya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains, the Far East Expeditionary Forces and the North Korean garrison troops attacked the more than 200,000 troops and continued to suppress the actions of the Soviet Far East Front on the left and right wings. The specific tactics were to use  The uninterrupted attacks made the Soviet army restless. Of course, the main task of these two troops was to guard all the passages of the mountain pass on both sides and prevent the Soviet army from attacking from these two directions.Disperse and break through.
