    Prince Zai Ren, Chief of General Staff of the Japanese Base Camp and Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Campaign, made a decision beyond common sense and an unexpected personnel appointment. The impact on a group of Japanese generals was undoubtedly huge. Of course, those divisions  The commanders of the Changhe Army are only envious and jealous, and they secretly hate themselves. Why don't they have such a chance to be so lucky? If they had known this, why not find an excuse in the conference room and fight against the guys who usually don't like it.  !

    Different from those officers, including General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, more or less saw some clues and had their own ideas, especially General Tanaka Shinichi, the commander of the Japanese and Korean garrison troops, who was wearing a  You can¡¯t help but think more about the label of Koichi Minai¡¯s faction!

    In fact, General Tanaka was a little over-cautious. At least so far, Prince Zain has no intention of taking action against the North Korean garrison, including the Kwantung Army. Prince Zain, who is accustomed to playing tricks, knows that too much haste is not good.  He knows this very well and will not make such a mistake. Anyway, it is all under his own hands. If he is not in a hurry, Xu Tuzhi will have everything in his pocket sooner or later!

    Lieutenant General Ry¨±aki Shinno, Chief of Staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, had mixed feelings in his heart. A little-known Lieutenant General Haruhiko, his mother's ancestral graves were smoking, dog urine turned over, and turned into Ganoderma lucidum grass.  The high position of deputy commander of the Far East Expeditionary Force will not be long before he will take over the position of commander, while his dignified chief of staff of the headquarters will have to command the improvised rearguard battle group. After the battle, will he survive the return?  , it may not be known yet?

    They were also Prince Zairen¡¯s confidants, and they also grew up eating rice from the empire, so why were their treatment so different? Lieutenant General Shinno felt sad in his heart.  At the same time, he was also very puzzled. If it was said to be a spur-of-the-moment idea by His Highness the Prince, he would not believe it even to death. How could so many things be accomplished with just a slap on the head?  Don¡¯t have a total in advance?

    "Could it be that His Highness, these unreasonable decisions were all made by that guy? I was away from the headquarters for long enough, and this guy became His Highness's confidant. According to the secret reports from his close aides, His Highness the Prince quite obeyed this guy's words.  I mean, find a reason to expel yourself from the battle headquarters so that you can take over the position of chief of staff!" Lieutenant General Shinno thought with a sinister look in his eyes.  But he viciously targeted Major General Yamada, the head of the Headquarters Staff Headquarters.

    Major General Yamada has the same dead face as always.  There was no sign of any emotional fluctuations. In fact, I had no idea about His Highness the Prince's series of unexpected decisions and personnel appointments beforehand, and I didn't even hear a word about them.  Of course, these have nothing to do with him. From an ordinary senior staff officer, he suddenly rose to the third position in the Far East Campaign Headquarters.  Major General Yamada is already very satisfied.

    Major General Yamada knew as much as Prince Zairen that he was acting too hastily. When Lieutenant General Shinno's eyes swept over him like a knife, Major General Yamada only glanced briefly and then looked away, completely ignoring the hint in his eyes.  It has too many connotations. If you conflict with such a person on such an occasion, you will lose your identity and leave a complete laughing stock. Some people are not worthy of being called opponents. It is best to just ignore them.  way!

    However, while looking away, Major General Yamada sneered secretly in his heart, "Stupid guy, a series of mistakes can ruin your future. This release is a signal for His Highness to alienate you. It is best to stop Su  When he was in the army, this stupid guy who didn¡¯t know his own worth was crushed by the empire!¡±

    No matter how many unexpected things happened during this military meeting, and no matter how many senior Japanese generals who participated in the meeting had their own secrets, after the meeting, the Japanese generals returned to their troops as quickly as possible and followed the instructions of the military meeting.  Deployment, emergency action began. On the snow-covered Far East land, Japanese troops could be seen everywhere, long marching columns, and the Japanese soldiers were pumping as excitedly as chicken blood!

    The deployment of the encirclement of the Soviet Far East Front is being carried out step by step in accordance with the deployment of the Commander-in-Chief Prince Zai Ren. The rope around Zhukov's neck is getting tighter and tighter.

    At this time, Zhukov could only wait impatiently. The emergency telegram sent to Moscow has not yet received a reply, but he did not want to send it again. In the telegram, he had already made it very clear about the dangerous situation of the Far East Front. I believe Stalin  Comrades and the General Staff will make a correct judgment. Emergency telegrams are sent one after another, as if they are in panic all day long. Zhukov disdains it!

    Disdain is a kind of persistence in the heart of an arrogant person, but it has no effect on the current war situation. The Kwantung Army stopped their endless entanglement and left the battlefield, retreating more than fifty kilometers to establish a blocking line.  After the Japanese troops on both wings continued to squeeze the battlefield space of the Far East Front, Zhukov knew clearly that the top commander of the Japanese army in the Far East had no intention of his own troops.?¡¯s killer layout has been completed.

    This plan completely shattered Zhukov's last line of defense and the opportunity for a desperate counterattack. Just as Prince Zai Ren predicted, Zhukov was not a mediocre player. After confirming that Moscow would not order the Transkhinggan Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Front Army to turn around and return reinforcements,  Later, there was indeed a plan. The content of the plan was very simple. It did the opposite. It concentrated all the troops of the Far Eastern Front to break through the positions of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Then, the entire army entered Manchuria and started fighting.

    Although it is a plan that will end with the Far East Front being annihilated, it is better than being besieged and killed by a large number of Japanese troops here. Zhukov has already made a cruel decision. Once Comrade Stalin does not approve the rescue, he will make a desperate move.  We must also carry out a massacre in Manchuria, where the Japanese have been operating for many years. At the very least, inflict heavy losses on the Japanese before the entire Far East Front army is annihilated.

    Zhukov rationally realized that continuing to implement the original plan to withdraw to the direction of Chita and rendezvous with the Outer Xing'anling Front Army would be a dead end. The heavy Japanese troops were concentrated in that direction, and the Far East Front Army in motion would be attacked by the Japanese army.  A head-on attack would lead to faster destruction. While anxiously waiting for a call back from Moscow, he himself began to formulate a plan to attack Manchuria.

    This plan carries the ultimate madness of all-or-nothing. If the Far Eastern Front devotes all its strength to fighting south, the Kwantung Army will be unable to stop it with its current strength and strength. This is also the final swan song prepared by Zhukov for himself and the Far Eastern Front.  Without reinforcements, the swan song would have been performed on time.

    This plan also cost Zhukov a lot of effort. Amidst the roar of cannons, he locked himself in his tent and thought and weighed exhaustively. This all-or-nothing plan to attack Manchuria required more than one million troops from the Far East Front.  The lives of soldiers, burning with the last flame, can cause the most severe damage to Japan's largest overseas occupied area. This is the last contribution Zhukov can make to the Soviet and Comrade Stalin.

    The premise of this plan was based on the absence of reinforcements. Moreover, Zhukov had an intuitive premonition that there would be no reinforcements. A burst of sadness and pain struck his heart, "Report to Comrade Commander, receive the call from the front line  Emergency telegram from the troops!" Outside the tent, the sudden report of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Godaev interrupted his thoughts and drove away the sadness in his heart.

    Zhukov, whose train of thought was interrupted, raised his blue-gray eyes that were full of red bloodshot eyes but still flashed brightly. He couldn't help but frown and looked at the tent curtains swinging in the wind. He quickly adjusted his emotions and felt a little uneasy.  He shouted happily: "Comrade Godayev, come in!"

    Chief of Staff Godayav opened the tent curtain, his face was flushed by the cold wind from the Far East, and his face looked as haggard as Zhukov, "Commander, the frontline troops sent a telegram, reporting an abnormal situation. Japan, which has been maintaining an offensive posture,  The Kwantung Army suddenly broke away from the battle and withdrew its position more than fifty kilometers to the south. The frontline troops sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance and found that the Kwantung Army used the favorable terrain conditions to build a new blocking line in the retreated area! "

    Zhukov received the telegram in silence, read it with a dull expression, raised his head, and looked at the outside of the tent with a somewhat empty gaze. The wind was still strong in May, blowing the dark Far Eastern sky. He read the telegram again, and then looked haggard.  His tired face turned gray-white, and the brilliance in his eyes disappeared instantly.

    Weakly sitting on the canvas marching chair, the telegram in Zhukov's hand fell quietly to the ground. After a long silence, under the worried eyes of Chief of Staff Godaev, he picked up the shell box and put it on the box, which took him several days of hard work.  The plan was torn into pieces page by page, with scraps of paper flying like snowflakes. From beginning to end, Chief of Staff Godayav was watching all of this in silence. He didn't know what to say?

    "Alas!" A heavy and suppressed sigh came from Zhukov's chest, as if with endless helplessness and unwillingness, which made Chief of Staff Godaev tremble in his heart, "The supreme commander of the Japanese army is the one who controls the battle situation.  A master, he judged any adverse situation that might arise and took precautions in advance, not even leaving me a chance to fight my opponent!" Zhukov said to himself.

    Chief of Staff Godaev instantly understood what Comrade Commander was doing after he locked himself in the tent. His face was even grayer than Zhukov's. "Commander, your plan is that in case of no reinforcements, the Far East Front troops will go to  Attacking in the south, a desperate attack on Manchuria? And the Kwantung Army suddenly left the battlefield and retreated, just to prevent us from doing the opposite? "

    Zhukov smiled miserably, nodded, and said: "However, the Japanese did not even leave me this opportunity. What we are facing is a terrible opponent, but it is definitely not the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army Nanjiro!"

    ¡°Chief of Staff, has Moscow responded to the telegram?¡±Zhukov suddenly asked.
