Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Gregariff, the commander of the Soviet Union's Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front, sent a clear telegram to break through the Japanese blocking line. Everyone, whether it was our own side or the enemy, knew about it. It can be said that he took the battlefield strategy to the extreme. Even the always proud Zhukov  The general was also sincerely impressed. Of course he would not miss this good opportunity. The fatal danger to the Far East Front had passed. As long as it lasted three more days, the Far East battlefield would be reversed.

    Zhukov was well aware of the intentions of his old friend. He wanted to maximize the role of this clear telegram. Therefore, the hesitation of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Godaev was not to his liking. "Comrade Chief of Staff, don't be so short-sighted when thinking about problems."  "The soldiers who are fighting desperately against the Japanese army on the front line need to know this news. We have a greater responsibility to let the soldiers see hope and execute the order!" Zhukov said without doubt, with a rare harsh tone.

    Chief of Staff Godayav has worked with Zhukov for several years. In addition to the superior-subordinate relationship, the two have a deep personal friendship. They have experienced ups and downs together. Comrade Commander rarely uses this tone to speak to himself.  His face turned red and he said, "Yes, Comrade Commander, I will convey your order immediately!"

    Zhukov probably felt that his tone was too strong, but he was not prepared to explain. Looking at the back of Chief of Staff Godaev disappearing into the shelter, Zhukov's thoughts jumped out, "I don't know that the Japanese supreme commander Zai  How will Ren feel after hearing the news?" he thought.

    The city of Khabarovsk in the Far East is the seat of the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters.  In the office of Commander-in-Chief Prince Zain, Major General Yamada, head of the General Staff Headquarters.  He looked nervous just now as he finished reading this clear coded telegram to Prince Zai Ren.

    Prince Zain¡¯s first reaction was that he didn¡¯t believe it. In the telegram sent to the headquarters by Lieutenant General Haruhiko, commander of the rearguard group of the Far East Campaign, yesterday evening, he also said that the situation was excellent and the blocking line was impregnable.  There would be no problem if they blocked the Soviet army for more than a week, but in the blink of an eye, news spread that the Soviet army had broken through the blocking line, and the source of the news was a clear telegram from an enemy front commander.

    How can Prince Zai Ren believe this.  However, he was indeed stunned by the information sent by this telegram. It took a long time for Prince Zai Ren to wake up and stare.  Asked: "Yamada-kun, has the intelligence department verified the authenticity of the contents of this telegram?"

    Looking at His Royal Highness, the dark lines gradually rising on his face, Major General Yamada carefully replied: "Commander-in-Chief. The intelligence department can confirm the source of this telegram. It was the radio station of the Soviet Trans-Xing'anling Front Army Headquarters that sent it, but  , the authenticity of the content cannot be verified!¡±

    "What?" Prince Zai Ren finally got angry, "A bunch of idiots, didn't the staff headquarters receive any telegrams from the battle rear guard group?" He said sternly, if the blocking line was really broken through by the Soviet army, at least Haruhiko  There should also be a telegram from Taiyi.

    This is also where Major General Yamada is puzzled. The Soviet army broke through the blocking line, which is a huge matter. It is related to the overall situation of the Far East Campaign. Lieutenant General Haruhiko will not fail to report to the headquarters to know, but, no, the Far East Campaign rear guard group is not at all  There is no news about the child.

    After a moment of hesitation, Major General Yamada replied bravely: "Commander-in-Chief, so far, the Staff Headquarters has not received any telegrams from the Far East Campaign Defender Group Headquarters. I ordered the radio room to send several telegrams to Lieutenant General Haruhiko in succession.  However, there is no response at all, and we have lost contact with the Far East Campaign Defender Group Command!¡±

    Major General Yamada explained with great embarrassment. After hearing this, Prince Zairen not only did not get angry, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Haruhiko Taichi did not send a telegram. It is very likely that the Soviet army's attack was fierce. He was directing the battle and had no time to secretly follow the routine.  Reporting the battle situation to the headquarters, not to mention that the prescribed reporting time has not yet come, and it is normal to not receive the telegram. In fact, this is Prince Zain's self-comfort thought. What does it mean to lose contact with the Far East Campaign Defender Group Command?

    Haruhiko is too busy, and there should be a radio station on duty in the headquarters. However, at this moment, Prince Zairen would rather think about the good. He does not believe that overnight, the blockade line that has been defended for six or seven days has been destroyed by Su.  The military breakthrough and such changes are incredible, right?

    Prince Zai Ren calmed down and said in a cold tone: "This is the trick of the Soviet commander. It is to shake my determination and convey this to the troops. In addition, give orders to all attacking troops to continue to besiege the Soviet Union according to the established plan.  The Far East Front must speed up its attack!¡±

    Major General Yamada was stunned. He did not believe that His Highness the Prince would make such an arbitrary decision. Even if it was the Soviet commander's plan, there would be no smoke without fire. How could he conclude that it would not be true? "Commander-in-Chief, the Ministry of Staff will consider  , we also need to confirm the authenticity of the contents of this telegram!¡±??? said tactfully.

    "Then go quickly!" Prince Zai Ren suddenly became furious. Although he insisted that this was a conspiracy of the enemy commander, for some reason, the ominous feeling in his heart lingered like maggots on his tarsus.  "Haruhiko, this bastard, doesn't know how to send a telegram to explain the situation of the war!" After yelling at Major General Yamada, he thought again.

    "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I will arrange for the intelligence department to verify it immediately!" Major General Yamada hurriedly agreed, turned around and left. Why don't you stay here and lead His Royal Highness to a rage?

    Before Major General Yamada left Prince Hitoshi's office, a senior staff officer rushed in and said, "Report to the Commander-in-Chief that we have received a telegram from Lieutenant General Haruhiko, Commander of the Far East Campaign Defender Group!"

    "Ah! - What? Great! - Read it quickly!" Prince Zai Ren's heart skipped a beat as he urged his staff to arrive. Major General Yamada, who had already arrived at the door, also stopped.

    The senior staff officer read: "His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Zai Ren, Haruhiko has taken it as his own duty to safeguard the interests of the Japanese Empire and follow His Majesty's decrees since he joined the Imperial Army. Although he has no experience of long-term combat on the battlefield, he has always been  After serving in the army, he was incorporated into the Far East Expeditionary Force and went to fight in the Far East. Due to his small achievements, he was appreciated by His Highness the Prince. He was removed from the army and entrusted with important tasks. Haruhiko always felt grateful and thought that he would live up to His Highness the Prince.  . . .

    "That's enough!" Prince Zai Ren shouted violently and suddenly interrupted the staff officer rudely. Something was wrong. Why did Haruhiko's telegram contain a lot of nonsense and didn't mention the situation of the sniper war? It seemed that he had decided to  A farewell telegram knowing that your life is about to end?

    The senior staff officer who was concentrating on the telegram was horrified by Prince Zai Ren's loud shout. He was only responsible for delivering the telegram. The chief of the telegraph room also gave extremely urgent orders. On the way to the commander-in-chief's office, he didn't even notice.  When I had time to open it, I didn¡¯t know what was written inside?

    "Baga! - Don't talk nonsense in front of it, just read the important part!" Prince Zairen was very anxious after hearing this. What he wanted to know most was whether the content of the intercepted Soviet commander's clear telegram was true. As for Haruhiko's gratitude  Such nonsense is of no use now, but he vaguely felt that something was seriously wrong, otherwise, Haruhiko wouldn't have said a lot of nonsense in the form of a farewell telegram.

    Normally, with Prince Zairen's temper, he would have slapped him with a loud mouth, and then grabbed the telegram and looked at it himself. But today, I don't know what happened, but Prince Zairen told Lieutenant General Haruhiko that this order was  The contents of the telegram that seemed to have just come out were too timid to read in person.

    "Yes! Commander-in-Chief, pick the key part and read it!" The staff officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to read: ", with more than two million soldiers from the two fronts of the Soviet Army, every six months of fierce fighting  On the seventh day, the battle was brutal. Needless to say, although the imperial soldiers suffered huge casualties, the casualties inflicted on the Soviet army were even more tragic. I thought that the Far East Campaign rear guard group could complete the Prince's victory even though it paid a huge price.  His Majesty's order established a solid rear line for the Imperial Army."

    After reading this, his mouth was probably dry. The staff officer paused and swallowed hard. Prince Zai Ren's heart was in his throat. Major General Yamada, who was standing at the door, also raised his ears and couldn't help himself.  of walking back.

    "However, since early this morning, the battle situation has suddenly changed. The Soviet army has devoted all its strength, concentrated all heavy weapons and tanks, and launched the largest and most wide-ranging attack on our rear guard group blocking line in the Far East Campaign. The ferocity of the attack was  Since the beginning of the war, unprecedentedly, fierce fighting has occurred across the entire line from Chita to Irkutsk, with more than two million Soviet troops deployed! "

    "Although our troops suffered a hard time and fought hard, we tried our best to defend. We also used hundreds of thousands of soldiers to launch a hand-to-hand counterattack against the Soviet army. We hoped to use the Bushido spirit of the Great Japanese Empire to completely suppress the arrogance of the Soviet soldiers. However, this was the Soviet Union's  The army launched a desperate attack, and the battle situation became increasingly critical. All personnel of our department were thrown into the battle. When His Highness the Prince saw this telegram, it was also me and hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers who fought to the last moment and lived and died with the position.  occasion!¡±

    "Faced with the Soviet army's powerful force and artillery attack, the rearguard group blocking line in the Far East Campaign was about to collapse. The staff was unwilling to survive. Only by smashing together with the position and the soldiers could we be called the true Emperor of Japan*  *His Majesty¡¯s loyal subjects, long live the Emperor!

    "Is this true?" Next, the staff muttered something more, but Prince Zai Ren could no longer hear it. In his ears, it was like countless bees flying together, "Buzzing!" kept ringing, and the Soviet army  Really breaking through the blocking line, the rearguard group of the Far East Campaign was wiped out, and more than two million Soviet troops were killed.The soldiers of the army are rushing towards the battlefield in the Far East. Their plan has failed. How could this happen?
