The bombing on 27 September was like a super-heavy bomb, causing a powerful earthquake at the base camp of the Japanese Army -- a single air assault temporarily deprived the 19th Division of its offensive capability, and the loss of division commanders on the battlefield was the first since the establishment of a new army in Japan's Meiji Restoration.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace, was furious about the losses at the border, but what made him even more troubled was that he did not know how to explain to Emperor Hirohito: Hirohito did not know about the large-scale movements of the Japanese army on the Soviet border, and Prince Zaihito did not give Hirohito the matter of large-scale troop movements from the beginning (which is the case historically), because Zaihito originally wanted to ask the emperor for permission to use force, but when he realized that it was unlikely that he would be allowed to use force, he canceled the plan.

The big move of the 19th Division was entirely a (private) move of the chief of staff and the commander of the Korean army, but now Jae-in had to report the situation at the front to Hirohito - Jae-in never thought that one of his lieutenant general division commanders would be blown up like this! It is impossible to hide the deaths of Otaka Kamizo and Yoshida from the emperor, and Zaihito is not so bold, because officers with the rank of major general and above are directly appointed by the emperor, and if Zaihito dares to hide this, he will probably be arrested on suspicion of rebellion.

After repeated meetings with his staff, Zaihito presented Hirohito with a report in which he attributed most of the cause of the conflict to the Soviet Union, and that the smashed head of Otaka Kamizo was also a scapegoat to some extent - a way out of the question, and that the dead would not defend themselves.

At noon on the 28th, the Japanese General Staff received a decree from Emperor Hirohito: to restore the honor of the empire without expanding the situation.

Hirohito is not an idiot, and naturally knows the small moves of the army, but after weighing it, it can only choose this way - this Bird Emperor is very shrewd. Hirohito understood that now was not the time for a full-scale conflict with the Soviet Union, but Japan's face had to be saved, and only after recapturing the area controlled by the Soviet army could it gain the initiative at the negotiating table, and it could not force Stalin to be in a hurry, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable -- the war in China would not allow the Japanese army to carry out the war on both sides, and neither the military nor the national strength would allow it.

With this edict from Hirohito, Zaihito decided to launch a large-scale offensive to recapture the territory occupied by the Soviets and kill a large number of Soviet living forces to force the Soviets to submit on the border.

"This Xianyuan Gong Zairen is really hot-headed, he can think of such strategic thinking, and his brain must be in the water! I guess it was Aunt Apayasu who gave this stupid pig some hints. On the afternoon of September 30, Lin Jun had a top-secret telegram and Blyukhel said, "The border conflict wants to bring the Red Army to its knees, and Lao Tzu fights it so that it doesn't even know its grandmother!" ”

There were only three people in the conference room: Lin Jun, Blyukher, and Stenn -- a top-secret telegram was transmitted from Moscow this morning, and it was because of this that Lin Jun, who was in Ussuriysk, rushed back to Kharrovsk, and the entire Far Eastern Special Military District had the right to know about the existence of this telegram.

On the night of the 28th, the Japanese base camp drew up a battle plan, but the Japanese could never have imagined that the battle plan they had just drawn up appeared on Stalin's desk early in the morning of the third day, and was now placed in front of the three Blyukhels.

Blyukhel and Stenn were very surprised by the information at hand, not because of its content, the size of the Japanese troops recorded in it and the planned number of troops to participate in the battle was still within the range of the two expected, but because they were extremely surprised at the speed with which this information was obtained!

"The comrade who obtained this information is definitely a genius!" Stern said.

Lin Jun was also very aware of this intelligence officer's ability, but he was also a little surprised, because Lin Jun knew who he was: only that person could get such important information. "But it's still hard to get such important information in his capacity, maybe it's the reason for some changes in history?" Lin Jun thought.

Seeing Lin Jun's expression, Blyukhel knew that this "prince" might know the identity of the intelligence officer, but of course the marshal would not and could not ask.

"I know who he is, but I can't say. We can trust the contents of this information as much as we believe the intelligence agent, and I can assure you that it is true. ”

Now that Lin Jun has already stated his position, Blyukhel and Stenn will unconditionally believe the contents of this information and draw up a corresponding battle plan -- the two of them know the relationship between the current NKVD Alexander and Andrei, which means that Comrade Andrei can know what they cannot understand.

Who's that informant? If Lin Jun guessed correctly, he could only be the "Red Spy" Richard Sorge.

Moscow needed a detailed report on the purpose of the campaign, and after discussing with the three of them, Lin Jun sent Stalin a top-secret telegram with only one sentence: Resolutely bring the Japanese army to the negotiating table.

On September 30, Stalin summoned Voroshilov (People's Commissar of Defense), Molotov (People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs), and Alexander (NKVD) to his office to comprehensively analyze the feasibility of the content of Linjun's reply from three aspects: military, diplomatic, and intelligence. Having received a unanimously affirmative answer from all three sides, Stalin telegraphed back to the Far East: there was no need to report back to Moscow until the end of the campaign.

On October 1, 1937, the 2nd Separate Mechanized Brigade moved along the Poshet-Novokievskoye road into the standby area of the Poshet Plain, and more than 20 ships of the Pacific Fleet departed from Vladivostok and sailed along the coast to anchor at the mouth of the Tumen River.

According to Stalin's order, Blyukhel organized the 40th Infantry Division, the 32nd Division, the 2nd Independent Mechanized Brigade, and the artillery and tank reserves directly under the Special Army of the Red Banner of the Far East into the 39th Infantry Army, with Marshal Blyukhel concurrently serving as the commander, and the 39th Infantry Division as the general reserve, with a total strength of nearly 30,000 men, equipped with more than 500 barreled guns and more than 400 tanks.

Marshal Blyukher decided to give it a go, strengthening the artillery and tank reserves directly under the Special Army of the Red Banner of the Far East, a total of three artillery regiments and two tank regiments, to the front-line troops, and personally serving as the commander of the 39th Army.

Who is Blyukhel's opponent? The information is clearly written: The 19th Division of the Japanese Army is temporarily replaced by Major General Nobuki Morimoto, commander of the 37th Infantry Brigade, and Miaki Daisa, Nakajin Village, as the chief of staff of the division; The division must take the front line of Zhanggufeng before October 5; The 8th Infantry Wing, the 4th Cavalry Wing, and the 4th Field Artillery Wing of the 4th Division directly under the Kwantung Army, together with other cooperative logistics units, formed a special detachment to move closer to the Tumen direction and threaten the flank of the Soviet army.

The Japanese army's vain attempt to defeat the Soviet army with such a force was really a bit overestimating itself, and what they did not expect was that their campaign deployment and purpose were completely under the control of the Soviet army.

Blyukhel boldly pulled out two regiments of the 32nd Infantry Division and reinforced one tank regiment to defend against the Japanese special detachment on the flank. Lin Jun had no opinion at all about the marshal's arrangement: looking at the partial superiority of the Japanese army's troops, but the impact of the Soviet tank forces was not something that the Japanese infantry and cavalry wings could stop, and the special detachment was still far from the border line, so he could ignore them for the time being.

Proceeding from the Japanese side, the main force of the 19th Division, which had been blown upside down, was still there, and the commander was killed, and the whole unit was eager to fight -- the Japanese troops were generally called by the name of the commander-in-chief, and it would be a great shame if the commander-in-chief was killed and the troops were unable to avenge him.

Major General Nobuki Morimoto, who temporarily assumed the post of commander of the 19th Division, was known as the "Tiger General" in the Japanese army, just like his dead predecessor, and this time the commander was killed, and he was even more angry and determined to take revenge on the Soviet army. Not many of the acting division commanders do not have their own chief of staff, because the successor of Nakajin Village, Miaki Daisa, is still on his way to North Korea.

At present, Morimoto Nobuti has a total of four infantry wings (the 73rd, 74th, 75th, and 76th infantry wings), a brigade of the 27th cavalry wing, a 19th engineer wing, a 15th field heavy artillery wing, a 25th mountain artillery wing, a 5th anti-aircraft artillery wing, an artillery brigade of the 1st independent mixed brigade, an independent heavy artillery squadron, and the 2nd armored train fleet (two armored trains).

But I don't know if it's Nobuki Morimoto's sorrow, the Prince Zairen and the commander of the North Korean Army still didn't give it a plane, although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the air raids of the Soviet Air Force, and most of the wings were bombed to the fullest, but Zairen was worried that the air force participation in the war would expand the situation to an irreversible point and could not explain to the emperor, and strictly ordered the Korean army not to use air power! This is also the characteristic of the widows of the island country: greedy but can never get rid of its petty family, afraid of wolves and tigers, and lacking due self-confidence.

Since the Japanese had already moved most of the 19th Division to the vicinity of the border, after a few days of rectification, Nobuki Morimoto decided to launch a general offensive on October 4. Moreover, from the point of view of the Japanese army, the Soviet army estimated that it did not dare to expand the situation, because there were no air strikes for several days in a row, only Soviet reconnaissance planes appeared in the air from time to time. Nobuki Morimoto believed that the Soviets would be mainly defensive warfare: from his point of view, the Russian army had already occupied two high grounds, and this would be the purpose of the Russian campaign. Now that the Russians have achieved their objectives, they will certainly not launch any more large-scale air raids and offensives - and the Soviets will not want the situation to become uncontrollable.

It's a pity that although this Nobuki Morimoto is very brave, he does not know about Blyucher, let alone the real campaign intentions of the Soviet army.

The Soviet Air Forces did not bomb on a large scale again, and that was because Lin Jun and Blyukhel were waiting for one thing: they had laid a huge trap for the Japanese army, and when the main force of the Japanese army fell into the trap of the Soviet army, Nobuki Morimoto would suffer a fire blow that it could not imagine!
