Chapter 2172: Unlucky
Before the start of the military meeting held by the General Headquarters of the Japanese Far East Campaign, there was an unexpected battle for merit, the two lieutenant generals drew their swords against each other, and after the appearance of Prince Jaehito, the commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign, the final result made these senior Japanese generals almost fall out of sight. They all had big mouths and looked stunned.
Prince Jaihito greatly appreciated Lieutenant General Haruhiko, commander of the Third Army of the Far East Dispatch Army, and dismissed Lieutenant General Kikuchi, the commander of the First Army. ”
This is a big rebellion, dare to openly accuse Prince Zairen, who His Royal Highness is the prince, the nobility of the identity, the respect of the status, the weight of the authority, except for His Majesty the Emperor, do not think about the second person, a word can make the heavy generals in the army turn over and fall from the horse, and disappear, and can make the generals of the micro end suddenly rise to the top, the generals of the three armies under the General Headquarters of the Far Eastern Campaign, all in the hands of one person.
As soon as Lieutenant General Kikuchi's words fell, in the conference room, an eerie chill suddenly surged from the hearts of the Japanese generals, "Next, His Royal Highness the Prince will definitely be furious, this poor guy Kikuchi is going to be unlucky!" Sure enough, impulse is the devil! ”
General Norigoro Ono, he was so angry that his face was blue, from the bottom of his heart, he still admired Lieutenant General Kikuchi, this guy's command style is brave and strong, very strong and offensive spirit of the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, the First Army is also a trump card in the Far East Dispatch Army, those mouths just now, although it is a punishment, but it implicitly exculpates the meaning of the two subordinates, as for His Royal Highness the Prince to remove the candidate for the commander of the First Army, but Xu Tu is circulating, the result may not be so bad.
If there is no Kikuchi, this unexpected play. This matter has also been revealed, as for returning to the army, any disposal of these two bastards, that is an internal matter of the Far East Dispatch Army, and there is a huge room for expansion, and after Judi's words are shouted, there is no room for maneuver, which is equivalent to Judi forcing himself into a dead end, maybe, it will affect himself.
General Ono stared with fiery eyes. Wu stalked his neck, stared at the bull's eye, and looked seven unconvinced, eight unangry Lieutenant General Kikuchi, eager to kick to death this guy who didn't know how to advance or retreat, didn't know what to do, and broke through the catastrophe.
In this case. Admiral Ono couldn't help but do something about it, rather than waiting for His Royal Highness to be furious. Kikuchi suffered a loss and was unlucky. It's better to come out again, so let's save Kikuchi first.
In such a scene, there are only four people who have enough weight to play a round field, but looking at their appearance, no one can count on them. The indifference on General Minamijiro's face, and the attitude that it doesn't matter to himself, is already obvious, and General Tanaka's eyes flicker. There was still a hint of schadenfreude, Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno, chief of staff of the headquarters, had more black lines on his head than himself, and the head of the headquarters staff headquarters, Major General Yamada, had a face that was neither yin nor yang, and his eyelids drooped, obviously meaning to stay out of the matter.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, General Ono could only bite the bullet, rushed forward, and scolded: "Baga! - Bastard, how do you speak to Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief? Then, rounding his arm again, "Bang bang!" "I rewarded Lieutenant General Kikuchi with a few big mouths, the redness and swelling on his face, and Lieutenant General Kikuchi, who had not subsided, had his whole face like a braised pig's head, and even his nose was bleeding.
Prince Zairen looked at this qiē coldly, and when General Ono finished fighting, he still roared, raised his hand, and signaled slightly, General Ono immediately shut up, and Prince Zairen looked at Lieutenant General Kikuchi with a wolf face in his eyes.
After a long time, the Japanese generals were nervous, and Prince Zairen slowly said: "Acting unfairly? - It's the first time I've heard such a thing, well, well, you can appeal to the base camp, but now you are obviously not qualified to participate in such a military meeting! Then, with a wave of his hand in disgust, like a fly, he turned around and walked towards the rostrum, without sweeping the corner of his eye at Lieutenant General Kikuchi, who had left his position.
The chief of staff of Shinno shouted angrily, "Guards! Four guards with big shoulders and round waists entered, "Drag this guy out, lock him up in an empty house first, and when the meeting is over, I will deal with him personally!" Lieutenant General Shinno yelled viciously.
The four guards came up, set up like a walking corpse, and left Lieutenant General Kikuchi who was stunned on the spot, and the Japanese generals lamented in their hearts, "This guy Kikuchi is completely finished, and no one can guess what kind of punishment he will receive next, but the result will definitely be miserable!" ”
Lieutenant General Chunyan on the side, Xiao is shrewd, and he was also at a loss by this series of changes, and it was only at this time that he came to his senses, no matter what he said, he couldn't get rid of this matter, and he was unlucky, and he didn't say anything about it, what kind of image did he have in the eyes of Prince Zairen and so many generals?
Lieutenant General Haruhiko stepped forward and made a deep sigh of grief, "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, sir, this matter started because of Haruhiko, Haruhiko feels that it is difficult to escape the blame, please punish Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!" ”
This hand is very beautiful, called retreat as advance, take the initiative to stretch out his face, let Prince Zairen fight, than the stubborn donkey of Judi, it is much more acceptable and comfortable, sure enough, Prince Zairen smiled slightly, and said softly: "Chunyanjun, don't say more, what happened just now, I roughly understand that this matter has nothing to do with you, it's all Judi's bastard picking quarrels and provoking trouble, how can I punish you, okay, go back to your seat, the meeting is about to start!" ”
After speaking, Prince Zaihito, who was full of smiles, stepped forward very rarely, patted Lieutenant General Haruhiko on the shoulder cordially, and gave him an encouraging look, as if he was in a dream, Lieutenant General Haruhiko's head was full of messy thoughts, his thinking was blank, and he unconsciously returned to his seat, pinched his thigh hard, and the severe pain came, so that he returned to reality.
Looking up at Prince Jaehito, who was on the top seat, the complex feelings in his heart could not be expressed in words, both from the heart of excitement and flattery, and for those in high positions, the unpredictable city and the incomprehensible fear.
After Prince Zairen sat down, his sharp eyes swept around the audience, and the Japanese generals with heavy troops in their hands couldn't help but bow their heads under this aggressive gaze, "It should be announced that the punishment decision for that unlucky guy in Kikuchi should be announced, right?" They were speculating to themselves.
Unexpectedly, it was to make the big guy guess wrong, Prince Zairen didn't mention the stubble just now, but went straight to the point, "Gentlemen, in the final stage of the Far East Campaign, there is only one thing to transfer you back from the busy front line, and that is how to completely annihilate the Soviet Far Eastern Front in the shortest possible time with the lowest casualties among the imperial soldiers!" Next, Major General Yamada, head of the General Staff Headquarters of the Far Eastern Campaign General Headquarters, announced the campaign deployment and orders! ”
The Japanese generals below didn't react, anyway, they were all the commanders of the headquarters, but the chief of staff of Shinno turned pale, his head "buzzed", and it was his own business as the chief of staff to announce the deployment and orders of the campaign, but His Royal Highness the Prince handed over to Yamada, a guy with ill intentions and not even a deputy chief of staff.
Ignoring the resentful eyes of Chief of Staff Shinno, Major General Yamada opened the text folder and announced the campaign deployment and orders unhurriedly but sonorously.
The final general attack plan for the Soviet Far Eastern Front drawn up by Jae-in himself was very simple and straightforward, and the time for launching the general attack was set for dawn on 20 May, and the specific plan was that the Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean garrison troops would press up on the entire front from their current positions, leaving no gap in the joint area of the two armies.
Choosing to launch a general attack on the Soviet Far Eastern Front at dawn on May 21, five days later, Prince Zaihito was also helpless, and the two troops compressed in front of him had to take about four days at the fastest to reach the predetermined area of the attack. ”
The troops of the Kwantung Army, on the existing front, retreated more than 50 kilometers and arranged a blocking line in favorable terrain to block the passage for the Soviet troops to flee into Manchuria.
Prince Zairen's deployment, as long as he himself understands why he wants to do this, to prevent Zhukov's dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and when he is surrounded by imperial troops on all sides, he continues to break through in the direction of Chita, and there is no way out at all, then, thinking about it in a different way, will Zhukov make a desperate bet, break the boat, turn south, break through the positions of the Kwantung Army troops, enter Manchuria, and fight?
If it were other Soviet generals, Prince Zairen would never consider it like this, but Zhukov, he is absolutely not at ease, this person can make any means, in Manchuria, there are not many imperial troops now, more than a million Soviet troops killed in Manchuria, even if they are finally annihilated, the damage and impact that can be caused are far-reaching, so they have to guard against Zhukov's hand.
On both sides of the Buleya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains, the Far East sent troops and the Korean garrison troops to attack more than 200,000 troops, and continued to clamp down on the movements of the Soviet Far East Front on the left and right flanks.
