Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, head of the operations department of the Japanese army's base camp, was naturally extremely happy, and the importance of the position of the chief of staff of the theater headquarters who was able to command nearly 2 million imperial troops is self-evident.

If you are not blushing, jealous, or unconvinced, you are a fool, you have found a beautiful wife by yourself, but when you enter the cave room, the groom is someone else, and you can't mention it, but the current position is very different, although it is a temporary command organ, but after the end of the Far Eastern campaign, will the base camp still put itself in its original position?

The possibility is very small, even if the position of the commander-in-chief of the theater like General Ito Yanzaburo is not arranged, at the very least, the position of the commander of a first-class division, that is the lowest standard, and even, the position of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, it is not impossible to change the seat, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, but the Minister of War General Mitsuichi is a cadre on the line!

Now, Prince Jaehito has the power of the empire's troops in the Far East, and he has the three main armies of the empire under his command, so His Royal Highness has no idea of replacing the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army with his own henchmen? I don't believe it when I kill myself.

Therefore, after receiving the call from his old boss and benefactor, Lieutenant General Ryuzhao Shinno immediately flew over as fast as he could, why is it floating, his heart fluttered with joy, and when he saw the face of Prince Zaihito, he immediately, like a compliment like a surging river, burst the embankment and sprayed his head and brain, and poured over one bowl after another of rice soup with sugar, and clearly told His Royal Highness Prince Sù. I am your most reliable person, born as a person of His Royal Highness the Prince, and dead as a ghost of His Royal Highness!

For Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno's words of flattery to confess his loyalty, Prince Zaihito did not show impatience, he needed his subordinates to express his position, and he also needed their awe, and after accepting the compliments of his subordinates without missing a bit, Prince Zaihito's eyes kept flickering, obviously. I have other ideas in mind.

After waiting for Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno's words, he was standing with his hands down, ready to listen to the teachings of His Royal Highness the Prince, and Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno at this moment. The heart is undoubtedly the most comfortable time, unexpectedly. But I heard such a sentence in my head. "Yaga! - Big bastard, stupid pig, who told you to say those stupid things at the Imperial Military Council? Well! -- As the head of the operations department of the base camp, he is so short-sighted, and he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! ”

Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno was stunned by Prince Zaihito's shell. He didn't understand, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was still complimenting himself just now, and was enjoying it very much, why did he change his face. Which one is this?

But after being scolded by the old boss, and didn't dare to fight back, Lieutenant General Ryuzhao Xinye could only look at His Royal Highness the Prince with sincere fear and pity, and didn't even dare to show the slightest grievance.

Then, put the cold face that can drip water, replace it with the warmth of the spring breeze, patiently explain the reasons why he scolded him just now, carefully explain one by one, tell the story, teach the juniors, hate iron and steel, and give grace and power, and one move down, Lieutenant General Nino Ryuzhao to Prince Zaihito, admired the five bodies to the ground, and almost put it at the same height as His Majesty the Emperor, and naturally obeyed the words of the dead heart.

Zairen was secretly proud in his heart, subduing a loyal minion, it turned out to be so simple, and finally, he said slowly: "Xinye-kun, the General Headquarters of the Far East Campaign, immediately go to the Far East Battlefield and establish a command headquarters in Khabarovsk, this matter, you will arrange it, you must do your best, and you will immediately issue a battle plan to the commander of the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Residence Army, and order them to arrive at the assembly place as quickly as possible!" ”

"In addition, you have an important task, as the chief of staff of the headquarters, to lead a capable command organization, stationed in the general headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and assist Commander Minamijiro in commanding the operation, do you understand my intentions?"

Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno nodded again and again, naturally comprehending the meaning of Prince Zaihito, according to his own understanding, His Royal Highness the Prince is going to attack the Kwantung Army, what does it mean to assist in commanding the operation, his identity is the chief of staff of the headquarters, and in his position, he is a head higher than Nanjiro, and when he arrives at the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, who says it, isn't that a matter at a glance? To put it bluntly, His Royal Highness the Prince is letting himself grab power!

Thinking like this in his heart, in order to show that he could most deeply understand the intentions of His Royal Highness the Prince, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno tentatively said, "Your Royal Highness, after I arrive at the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, at the right time, will I ...... to General Minamijiro?" He made a gesture to pull off his horse, the cold glint in his eyes flickered, and he looked eager and impatient.

Unexpectedly, Prince Zairen suddenly changed color, "Smack! Slammed the table hard, hating the lesson of iron not becoming steel: "Stupid, stupid, at the critical moment of the Far East campaign, how can you change generals on the spot, the Kwantung Army, which has already suffered heavy losses and low morale, is it not that people are panicking, everyone is in danger, and the morale of the army is unstable, if the Kwantung Army is in internal turmoil, how can we complete the campaign plan to encircle Zhukov's troops?" ”

As he spoke, Zairen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he glared at Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno viciously, and said in an accentuated tone: "When you arrive at the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, you must remember one thing, it is to assist the command, not to replace it, but also to provide the greatest help to the Kwantung Army troops as the chief of staff of the campaign headquarters, don't think about anything wrong, if you know, because of your improper behavior, and the Kwantung Army can't take its due responsibility, you know the consequences best, okay, you will set off today!" ”

A burst of reprimands with guns and sticks made Lieutenant General Ryuzhao Shinno like a duck listening to thunder, and he was dizzy. My mind is full of confusion, did His Royal Highness the Prince just let me take the command of Nanjiro, why did I bring it up, but I was subjected to a violent training and warning, His Royal Highness the Prince's scheming is unfathomable, elusive, and powerful!

At this moment, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, in addition to awe, also has a deep fear, he also knows that if he continues to ask, he can only be more disgraced, so he raised his head and replied in a loud voice in the standard posture of a general of the Imperial Japan: "Yes, Your Excellency Chief of General Staff, the headquarters understands, and will set off immediately!" "Actually, he knows it in his heart, he really doesn't understand, but there is one thing he knows in his heart, just listen to His Royal Highness the Prince in everything, and you can't be wrong!

Watching Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno leave majestically, Prince Zaihito secretly sighed and shook his head, "What a reckless and immature guy, get rid of Nanjiro, break one of Mionei Koichi's arms, and capture the Kwantung Army in his own hands, that's something that must be done, but not now, no matter what, you have to wait until you kill Zhukov's troops, and if you are in a hurry, it will easily cause a backlash from Mionei Koichi's faction, but it is not beautiful!" ”

"The guy with a muscular head, an idiot on the political staff, fortunately has enough loyalty, otherwise, he is by no means the best candidate to serve as his chief of staff, let alone a reusable person, under his own heart, not only must be able to command the war, but also have enough political wisdom, obviously, this guy Xinye. Not the right person," Prince Zairen muttered in his heart, and put an end to the future of Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, which was rushed to Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno with more than a dozen staff officers and flew to Khabarovsk on a transport plane, which he never expected.

That is, on the same night, Prince Zairen's command team arrived in Khabarovsk by transport plane, and then, the General Headquarters of the Far East Campaign officially began to operate, and one after another orders were issued from here, more than 900,000 Japanese troops, like hungry wolves, went to the periphery of the battlefield where the Kwantung Army and Zhukov's troops were fighting, and quietly touched over, and on the vast land of the Far East, countless Japanese troops, like a torrent, converged in the past, and a large-scale Japanese campaign against Zhukov's troops was about to start in the Far East.

When Prince Zairen dispatched troops, Tang Qiuli, who was in Delun in southern Outer Mongolia, was not idle, Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, and Batel, commander of the armored corps of the Independent Division, did not disappoint themselves, and Tang Qiuli was amazed by the fast movements.

The 11th Brigade and the 12th Brigade of the Corps directly under the Corps, after being ordered to entangle a unit of the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front in the area north of Delun, canceled the rest and recuperation, and marched north overnight.

The main force of the Outer Mongolian frontier army, the main force of the armored corps of the independent division, continued to move north under the starry night, and as a result, after a day and night of rapid marching, on 23 April, the troops of the other Soviet army and one corps were surrounded in the Darkhand area, which was more than 400 kilometers away from Kulen.

Moreover, in the two encirclements, the strength and equipment of the independent division have a great advantage, Tang Qiuli's campaign intentions have been completely realized, and Kulen has become a lonely city with empty troops, and Tang Qiuli is very happy after receiving the telegram jointly sent by Sun Zhenbang and Battle.

"Yuhe, Sun Zhenbang surrounded the Soviet army north of Delun, but did not fight, and then, quickly marched north, and before the Soviet troops of the army following behind noticed it, it was suddenly surrounded, which can be described as a stroke of genius! Sun Zhenbang and Battle did a great job! In this way, there will not be much suspense in the Battle of Kulen! Tang Qiuli smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe with a relaxed expression.
