The decisive battle that the Ogizhou troops wanted finally broke out.

It's just that the initiator of this decisive battle is not the Kwantung Army.

"Their firepower is too strong!"

A Nakasa who fled with his troops on the front line reported in embarrassment: "They relied on a large number of planes and artillery to launch a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning. Our defenders did not have even a single tank, and they were heavily bombarded by Soviet shells of thousands of tons. The civil engineering fortifications built in the Mongolian wilderness had long been flattened by Soviet artillery fire, and the soldiers of the empire could only rely on simple individual bunkers dug by sapper shovels to fight........"

"I really can't stand it........" Nakasa's body trembled slightly, and it seemed that there was still fear of the tragic situation on the front line.

The infantry wing to which Nakasa belonged was originally nothing more than an infantry wing with low combat effectiveness under the 8th National Border Garrison of the Kwantung Army. Among them, new recruits alone account for more than 30 percent of the total strength of the wing.

Even the 1st Tank Division of the Kwantung Army, which is a national treasure, is now turned into piles of steel garbage emitting black smoke. How could this wing, which was flooded with new recruits, be an opponent of the Soviet army.

And Ogisu's original preparation to rely on the bacteriological warfare of Ishii's troops to turn things around has now become nothing more than a joke.

Although Ishii's troops secretly released a large number of plague, melioidosis and other virulent infectious bacteria into the Haraha River according to the plan.

However, because the drinking water of the Soviet-Mongolian army came from the water pipes laid in the rear, there were basically no major casualties.

On the contrary, although the Kwantung Army troops on the front line were repeatedly ordered by their superiors not to drink river water, many soldiers still secretly drank river water under extreme thirst and became victims of bacteriological warfare.

Many combat units deployed on the front line of the Kwantung Army suffered a sharp decline in combat effectiveness due to a large number of wounded and sick infections.

The "strongest secret weapon" that Ogishu soldiers had high hopes for turned out to be a shooting stone in their own feet.

Until now, the Kwantung Army has lost tens of thousands of soldiers. Tanks, armored vehicles, airplanes, field artillery, and other technical weapons were completely destroyed. Zhukov, the general sent by the Soviet Union, used the most basic and effective tactics of crowds, and the oppressed Ogisu troops were powerless to fight back.

Zhukov, the "firefighting captain" who was ordered to be in danger, was threatened by the secret weapons of the Kwantung Army, and he easily managed to break the miracle with righteousness.

Ogizhou Libing admits that his opponent can be called a generation of famous generals!

It's not that the Kwantung Army isn't elite, it's not that the Japanese soldiers aren't brave, and it's not that there aren't enough secret weapons.

The Kwantung Army, known as the "Flower of the Imperial Army", is the strongest unit of the Japanese Army. To put it bluntly, it's just a short man with a tall man, acting as the "boss" in a group of low-mechanized armies.

What Ogisu Libing didn't know was that, in Zhukov's view, the so-called strength of the Kwantung Army was just a boast that there were no tigers in the mountains and monkeys were overlords.

Even the most elite and valuable tank division of the Kwantung Army was only mentioned as a joke in Zhukov's report to Stalin: "The Japanese tanks are very backward, and the basic tactical movements are also very dull, and it is easy to destroy the method of staring at detours and flanking attacks." ”

Now, the 6th Army in the hands of the Ogishu Standing Army has been dealt a fatal blow, and the main forces are either wounded or disabled. All the departments on the front line are struggling to ask for support, but the reserves in the hands of the Ogizhou soldiers are no more than 1,000 people.

Those who can be sent to the front have already been sent to the front, where are the remaining troops? If you want to talk about support, he still wants to send reinforcements to the rear!

However, in the Guannai battlefield, the base camp had already sent the troops that could be assembled to Changsha, preparing to fight to the death with the Chinese army, and now it was unable to send the spare troops to the north to help.

"A heavy artillery wing drawn to us in the Kannai, three squadrons of anti-tank rapid-fire guns, will be assembled in place in the next four days." With a deep sense of frustration, Ogisu Libing cheered up: "Telegraphed to order Yamayama Takemitsu Daisa of the 64th Wing of the 7th Division and Ise Takahide Osa of the 13th Wing to allow them to retreat 5 kilometers and wait until our artillery is in place to launch a counteroffensive together." ”

"Hey!" After receiving the order, the staff officer quickly straightened up, and then turned around and went to convey the instructions of the Ogishu army.

"Also, order the 23rd Division of the 71st Wing of the Morita Toru Daisa. Tell him that no matter what, he will hold up the Empire's counteroffensive for four days. When the four days came, he was a hero of the empire. At that time, I will personally ask Admiral Sugiyama Motodai for the above-mentioned and take credit for him! ”

Speaking of this, Ogisu Libing closed his eyes and continued in a heavy tone: "No matter what, the 71st Wing cannot withdraw from the position. Hold on, he's a hero. If you can't keep it, then apologize for it! ”

Four days?! When the officers on the side heard this deadline, they couldn't help but gasp.

Even the elite such as the 1st Tank Division, under the impact of the huge armored forces of the Soviet army, did not last 1 day. The wing equipped with the "Heavy Fist Handgun" just barely survived until the next day.

Let Morita Toru Daisa hold on for four days, this task will not be possible from the beginning. What's the difference between this and directly calling the 71st Wing to send them to death?!

Ignoring the strange gazes of the officers, Ogizhou Libing took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes: "The 23rd Division, which is the main force under my command, is just a newly formed unit in the final analysis. Being able to fight to this extent is enough to prove how tenacious the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire were! ”

"But tenacity alone is not enough!" On the indifferent face of the Ogizhou Libing, there was no emotion: "I lost 10,000 people, but I didn't advance an inch." As a result, this is unacceptable to the base camp. If we can't win in the end, then the more than 10,000 Imperial warriors who died before they died will all die in vain! Every soldier of the Empire is precious, and I will never allow their lives to be wasted like this! ”

"To make their sacrifice meaningful, worthwhile....... I will not hesitate to put in the lives of another 50,000 people to win this war! In the blink of an eye, Hagizhou Libing was able to make this decision without a trace of expression, which was completely contrary to his remarks just now that "the lives of imperial soldiers are precious".

"The final battle will start in four days. Until then, all the ministries must be prepared to face a tough test, except for the troops needed for a decisive battle. They will fortify layer by layer, resist step by step, and drag it at all costs until our supporting artillery is assembled in place! ”

With a heavy punch on the conference table, Ogizhou Libing viciously ordered: "Except for the 64th Wing and the 13th Wing, I will pull all the troops that can be transferred up to establish a sniper position." As long as our front can survive until reinforcements arrive and victory, there will still be a chance to come! ”
