    Prince Jae-in has reason to be so rude. The Far East Expeditionary Army has five first-class divisions with a strength of about 180,000 people, and four heavy artillery regiments. The North Korean Cantonment Army has eight first-class divisions with about 280,000 troops.  With the strength of nearly 500,000 people, it would not be any problem to block Zhukov's Far Eastern Front troops for two or three days. After two or three days, the main forces of the two armies would all arrive. Even if Zhukov had  Even with the power to reach heaven and earth, there is no way to break the encirclement.

    "Yamada-kun, Commander Ono Norigoro and Commander Tanaka Shinichi are the generals of the empire and the heroes of the empire. They can start where they can't, do things that ordinary people can't do, and use surprise troops. In this way, we  Why worry? The Imperial Army is truly lucky to have such a talented general!" Zai Ren sighed, "Yamada-kun, in the name of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, immediately issue an order to commend the two troops.  Report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor!" He added.

    Major General Yamada wrote it down carefully. Suddenly, Prince Zai Ren's brows suddenly frowned, and he said with some worry: "I'm still worried that the North Korean garrison troops are advancing lightly, but they are not heavy."  Weapons, when facing the Soviet army, you will suffer a big loss!" In fact, his subtext is that the number of people killed is secondary. What if the light infantry of the North Korean garrison cannot stop the Soviet army?

    Major General Yamada smiled and replied: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, after receiving the telegrams from the commanders of the two armies, I have noticed that Commander Tanaka Shinichi's actions have flaws in this regard, so I will refer to Nori Ono  Commander Goro, in your name, issued an order to Commander Tanaka Shinichi to combine the artillery troops and tank troops of the department into a rapid assault group."

    "At the same time, a considerable number of infantry troops, traveling in trucks, can play the role of protection. The order requires the artillery and tank troops of the North Korean garrison to arrive at the designated location in sync with the troops taking shortcuts. In this way, the troops can advance alone  The problem of weak firepower has been solved. Your Excellency, the commander-in-chief, because the matter was urgent, I did not ask you for instructions in time. Is it appropriate to handle it this way? "

    Prince Zai Ren had a strange look in his eyes.  He looked up and down at Major General Yamada.  Seeing this made him feel hairy in his heart, "Yamada-kun, it will be much easier for me to have talented people like you in the Far East Campaign Headquarters to share the military affairs for me. The pearl is hidden, and Yamada-kun has been buried for many years.  Bi Lu. Being able to endure loneliness is an extraordinary quality. You are worthy of the heavy responsibility of chief of staff. Of course, I will arrange a more suitable position for you!" Zai Ren said solemnly in an unusual tone.

    It was an affirmation, and it was also an explanation. We were not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we were afraid of comparisons. Lieutenant General Shinno Ry¨±aki and Major General Yamada compared the goods and decided which one was better. At this point, Major General Yamada worked step by step, fought steadily, and worked hard with all his strength.  Step by step, he is approaching the high position of chief of staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters.

    Those who know how to advance and retreat are more likely to accomplish things. Major General Yamada knows that as far as the current situation is concerned, although Ninye's position as Chief of Staff is shaky, it will not be overturned for the time being. All he needs to do is to continue to consolidate his position as the Prince.  Therefore, Major General Yamada bowed deeply and said seriously: "The commander-in-chief's praise of the staff department makes the staff department ashamed. Yamada has no outstanding ability. The position of the head of the staff headquarters is already overwhelmed, but  Whenever your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, is motivated, he will do his best to serve you regardless of personal honor or disgrace!"

    This was a beautiful thing to say. Zai Ren stepped forward and patted his shoulder in an extremely rare and friendly manner, saying: "Yamada-kun, the military affairs at the headquarters are very demanding. Whenever there is urgent military information, you can come to see him at any time."  Me, go!¡±

    After Major General Yamada left, Prince Zairen indulged himself for a while, then rang the bell. A lieutenant general came in silently, bent down and obeyed the order, "Immediately send a telegram to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro. Our empire  The Far East Expeditionary Force and the vanguard of the North Korean garrison, with a total of 13 first-class divisions and nearly half a million troops, are less than 150 kilometers away from the Far East battlefield. Nanji-kun can launch an attack with free hands and feet!  "

    This is a reassurance for General Nanjiro. When Nanjiro is commanding the Kwantung Army to counterattack with a certain death intention, such a telegram will give him incomparable courage and confidence, the courage and confidence of the supreme commander on the battlefield. At the same time,  It will also inspire the soldiers' will to fight. Prince Zairen knows this well. Why not send such a telegram to Nanjiro as soon as possible?

    Time passed slowly, and the dark night of May 30th was about to pass. A faint fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky. Zhukov rubbed his sore eyes, having stayed up all night. It seemed that his face was full of exhaustion.  There is a pair of blue-gray eyes that still exude a sharp light.

    Lieutenant General Godayav, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, walked into the tent in a hurry, "Comrade Commander, according to your order, the fifteenth?The troops of the 18th and 21st Group armies, as well as the logistics troops of the front army, have begun to withdraw. An hour later, the troops of the 13th, 16th and 19th group armies, as the second echelon, also began to withdraw from the battlefield. The commander of the front army  The Ministry will follow the second echelon to evacuate!  "

    "The Eighth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Group Armies will withdraw from the battlefield as the third echelon. At the same time, they will also serve as the rear guard of the front army, responsible for covering," he reported. However, in the report, Chief of Staff Godaev did not  Speaking of the other three group army units that remain and are still fighting with the Kwantung Army troops, in fact, based on the current battlefield situation, those three group army units cannot withdraw even if they want to. They have been captured by the Japanese Kwantung Army.  Jun bit hard.

    Waiting for their fate, there is no other way out except fighting with the Kwantung Army troops until they are exhausted, which can also be said to be the end of the entire army being annihilated. Why bother to mention things that the commander knows well, but instead cause trouble?  It made him sad. Of course, Zhukov understood the painstaking efforts of his chief of staff, and nodded slightly, "Comrade chief of staff, can the three armies of the third echelon complete their escape from the battlefield in their lifetimes at the fastest possible time?" he said in a loud voice.  asked somewhat hoarsely.

    Chief of Staff Godayav thought for a moment and replied rigorously: "Comrade Commander, according to the current situation, it will take five hours at the earliest to completely leave the battlefield, because there are several people opposite the three group army positions.  Some Kwantung Army troops are carrying out a small-scale attack. They must completely defeat the Kwantung Army troops before they can evacuate the battlefield! "

    Zhukov shook his head and said without any doubt: "No, the action is too slow. Moreover, there is more than four hours of separation between the second echelon and the second echelon. In the complicated situation of the surrounding battle, such a separation is enough to bring fatal consequences to the troops.  Danger, order them to deal with the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side within two hours, and then quickly evacuate the battlefield! "

    Zhukov was cautious. He did this not to guard against the Japanese army, but to guard against Tang Qiuli's independent division troops. This Chinese commanded operations with a combination of danger, treachery, and deceit. The operations were never successful or traceable.  However, if he ambush a surprise force on the way, it would be enough to separate the three armies, which were more than four hours behind, from the main force of the Far East Front.

    During the previous Outer Mongolia wars, did the Soviet army suffer too many losses?  He has suffered losses in this area. Tang Qiuli's troops are good at running through attacks, ambushing and killing sap. Moreover, if they don't take action, they will use it like thunder. If they do, it will be like thunder, with the goal of annihilating the opponent. Although at this time,  On the battlefield in the Far East, it was unlikely that Tang Qiuli would make such a layout, but Zhukov did not dare to take it lightly. He would have to sleep with one eye open against the Chinese.

    As dawn approached, a silvery white appeared in the eastern sky. Everything on the battlefield in the Far East faded away from the darkness of the night and appeared vaguely in front of our eyes. The orderly brought a steaming cup of black tea with sugar and a few slices of black bread.  This was Zhukov's breakfast, but he had no appetite. He smoked almost a pack of cigars and his mouth tasted bitter. He sighed and sat down to eat his breakfast.

    "Boom! - Boom!" Suddenly, a violent explosion that exceeded any previous battles suddenly resounded in the dawn sky. Zhukov stopped bringing the bread to his mouth, raised his head in surprise, and looked outside the tent.  , there was a burst of speculation in my heart.

    "Ding ding ding!" A telephone in the tent rang rapidly, and a staff officer quickly picked up the phone, "This is the front army headquarters, what? Repeat it again! How many? - Can't judge at the moment -  Out of your strength! ¡ª¡ªOkay, I¡¯ll report to the commander immediately!¡±

    From the intermittent phone calls between the staff, Zhukov keenly felt that there must be something wrong on the front line. Moreover, the sound of artillery was more violent than before and continued to sound. He put down the bread, and the staff officer hurriedly came to him and said, "Report  Comrade Commander, I received a report from the headquarters of the Fourteenth Army. When they were counterattacking a small group of Kwantung Army troops, they were suddenly attacked by a large number of Japanese troops. The strength of the Japanese army cannot be calculated for the time being. It may exceed that of the Fourteenth Army!  "

    "What?" Zhukov stood up suddenly, knocked over the dining table, and the black tea rolled to the ground, "Why is this happening? Aren't the Kwantung Army troops fighting inextricably with the three army groups he left behind?  Why are so many Japanese troops popping up in front of the Fourteenth Army? Is it directly related to the sound of artillery just now? " He thought to himself, a series of possibilities, chaotic exchanges in Zhukov's mind.  Intertwined.

    Zhukov walked to the phone in a few steps. He had to make a call to find out what happened. If only the Fourteenth Army encountered this situation, it would not be a big problem. If it was the troops confronting the Kwantung Army, this would happen to all the troops.  In this case, the problem would be serious. For a while, ZhukovThe sweat on the door was pouring down.
