The general direction of the campaign deployment, arrangements in place, the next, is the specific combat tasks of each army, this part of the content is quite large, it took nearly an hour, Prince Zairen formulated the campaign plan, very detailed, even specifically stipulated, the battle cluster of a certain force, what is the distance that needs to be advanced in a day, and when to occupy that important location, the distance between the left and right adjacent troops, etc., are all in the campaign plan, clearly stated.

It can be seen from this that for the sake of this decisive battle and to kill the Far Eastern Front in one fell swoop, Prince Jaehito took great pains and exhausted a lot of brain cells, and Major General Yamada, head of the General Staff Headquarters of the Far Eastern Campaign, after reading the order, the venue was quiet, and the Japanese generals were thinking about their respective tasks.

Prince Zairen's gaze swept over the faces of the generals, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Gentlemen, the battle plan has been determined, and all troops will follow the orders of the headquarters to carry it out, this will be a decisive battle recorded in the history of the overseas conquest of the Great Japanese Empire, I hope that the monarchs can establish immortal feats for the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor in this battle!" ”

All the Japanese generals thought that this was the conclusion of His Royal Highness the Prince, and immediately applauded vigorously, and the thunderous applause almost broke through the roof.

Prince Zairen said slowly: "Gentlemen, what Minister Yamada Honji read out just now is only the specific deployment of the Far Eastern battlefield, but remind you not to forget that the enemy of the Far Eastern Imperial Army is not only Zhukov's Far Eastern Front troops. There are also the troops of the devil Tang Qiuli, as well as the Soviet Outer Khinganling Front and the Baikal Front, which are still hovering on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, ignoring these two forces, we will suffer! ”

Prince Zairen's words, like a slap in the face, suddenly woke up the Japanese generals who were immersed in the encirclement and annihilation of the Soviet Far Eastern Front and the imminent victory, and they couldn't help but look at His Royal Highness Prince with admiration without hesitation. In the case of the imminent victory of the Far Eastern Imperial Army, who else has such a sober mind as His Royal Highness the Prince?

Prince Zairen smiled slightly, and naturally accepted these gazes, in fact. In his heart, was the troops of the separate division. Units of the two Soviet fronts blocking the line from Chita to Irkutsk. It is indeed a piece of his heart, as long as one of the front troops turns back to rescue Zhukov's troops, then the result of the Far East campaign, not to mention, if the Soviet Union forces of both front troops turn around and come to help, even with the wisdom of Prince Zairen. can only watch as Zhukov's troops are rescued.

This uncertainty was in the formulation of the final general attack plan for the Far Eastern campaign. It bothered him for a long time, and in his overall plan for the Far East campaign, this unexpected appearance exceeded his prediction, according to the normal situation, at this time, the Soviet Trans-Khingan Front and the Baikal Front, more than two million troops, should be on the Minusinsk line, ready to cross the Ural Mountains.

It is the devil Tang Qiuli, on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, suddenly came to such a hand, causing the Soviet army to linger here, this distance, said that it is not far, it is not close, anyway, if the Soviet army wants to return to the Far Eastern Front, then, after launching a general attack, it will hit the most critical moment, and the Soviet army will definitely be able to rush to the battlefield, I believe that by that time, Zhukov's troops will have little left, but it is never completely annihilated.

This is not just a matter of regret, but his own Far East campaign plan, which failed to end perfectly, and the effect was greatly reduced, which is something that Prince Zairen does not want to see, and he must take corresponding measures to avoid such a situation, therefore, Prince Zairen also hates Tang Qiu even more.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a problem that cannot be ignored, we must avoid such a situation when we launch the final general attack of the Far Eastern Campaign, therefore, I have made another targeted plan!" Prince Zairen said eloquently.

All the Japanese generals pricked up their ears to see what other tricks this prince has, Minister Yamada's eyes jumped, and a trace of doubt was fleeting, this plan, even he didn't know it, why?

He couldn't help but speculate, all kinds of judgments, in Major General Yamada's mind, lightning shuttled, but, although he racked his brains to ponder, he didn't sort out the clue, compared with the thoughtful Major General Yamada, Chief of Staff Xinye, there are not so many little Jiujiu'er, he is not surprised, what kind of is this, the general attack plan of the Far Eastern Campaign was done by His Royal Highness the Prince behind closed doors, not to mention another plan, normal!

Prince Zaihito stood up, his eyes swept over the large military map on the left wall, and finally, stopped at the back, on the portrait of Emperor Hirohito hanging high, turned around, and seemed to be making a silent communication with his emperor's brother, all the senior officers of the Russian army who attended the meeting did not dare to come out, as if from the actions of His Royal Highness the Prince, they experienced a sense of sacredness and mystery.

After half a ring, Prince Jaein turned around and said in a firm tone: "Order, the Far East Dispatch Army will transfer troops from three divisions, and the Korean garrison army will transfer troops from three divisions to form a rearguard campaign cluster, with a strength of more than 200,000 troops, and it will be carried out on the spot in the current area, and the only task is to monitor the movements of the two fronts of the Soviet Army on the line from Chita to Irkutsk!" ”

"Let me make it clear in particular, the task of the rearguard campaign cluster seems to be easy, but in fact it contains great danger, once the Soviet army returns to Zhukov's troops, the task of the six divisions is to resolutely block the Soviet army in the deployment area, you remember, it is necessary to let the Soviet army not return to help, without the order I personally issued, even if it is a soldier and a pawn, you can't take half a step back!"

In this way, the Japanese generals thoroughly understood that if the Soviet troops of the two fronts did not return to the aid of Zhukov's troops, the imperial troops of these six divisions would get a good job, and they would not have to go to the battlefield to fight to the death or life with the Soviet army.

From this point of view, the divisions and regiments assigned to the rearguard campaign cluster were unlucky troops, and the feelings of the Japanese generals began to complicate, more or less pondering, whether their own troops would be incorporated into the operational sequence of the rearguard campaign cluster?

Prince Zairen's generals saw the reaction in their eyes, their eyes became cold, and they said sharply: "Once a battle breaks out, as for when the rear guard battle cluster will withdraw from the blocking line, I can tell you for sure that it will be after the total annihilation of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, therefore, the troops tasked with the task of attacking the Soviet Far Eastern Front should work hard and not let the soldiers of the Imperial Army shed more blood because of our delay!" ”

Hundreds of Japanese generals were taken aback, and Prince Zaihito continued: "In order to strengthen the command of the rear guard campaign cluster and facilitate the unified coordination of the movement of the troops, I have decided that Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno, chief of staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, will concurrently serve as the commander, and after the meeting, together with Commander Ono and Commander Tanaka, study the matter of mobilizing that force, and the formation of the rear guard campaign cluster must be completed by noon tomorrow!" ”

After saying this, Zairen's eyes looked at Lieutenant General Shinno, whose face was cloudy, and asked gently, "Nino-kun, do you have any opinions?" ”

Lieutenant General Shinno hurriedly stood up, folded his chest and belly, and replied impassionedly: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the rank will definitely live up to the trust, once the Soviet army returns to help, it will definitely make the Soviet army not get close to the Far East battlefield an inch, even if it is all broken, it will not hesitate!" It is the honor of a soldier to be loyal to the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Yo Xi! ――Nino-kun, if you have such determination, I can rest assured, and the safety of the rearguard of the attack force will be entrusted to Shinno-kun! As he spoke, Jaeren solemnly bowed deeply to Chief of Staff of Shinno.

The chief of staff of Xinye hurriedly bowed, his face was calm, but his heart was by no means calm and sat down, to be honest, Lieutenant General Xinye Ryuzhao's mood at the moment, I can't tell what it feels like, more than a dozen flavors than the five flavors of mixed Chen, a burst of joy and a moment of worry, stirring his heart as uncomfortable as if oil was splashed.

Lieutenant General Shinno never thought that His Royal Highness the Prince would order his own generals, and he didn't ask for his own opinion in advance, and suddenly came to such a hand, was it a flying disaster or an unexpected joy? Even Amaterasu couldn't tell, his heart was already a mess like mush.

If the Soviet army does not come back to help, it is easy to say, the victory of the Far East campaign is over, and naturally it will not be able to run a part of the credit of the rearguard campaign cluster, and he, the commander who is also the commander, can also be ranked in the first place in terms of meritorious deeds, but once the Soviet army comes back to help, it will be more than two million wolf-like Soviet soldiers, and the ratio of troops to ten to one, and he can't retreat half a step, and he, the lieutenant general chief of staff and commander, also has to keep an eye on the blocking line, fighting to the last soldier, and he will not follow the jade shattered!

In the head of Chief of Staff Shinno, countless thoughts turned, painfully weighing the danger and benefit, but, with his IQ, experience, and that little brain, he couldn't tell whether it was a blessing or a curse, and he could only suffer from the trouble of gain and loss, and there was one more thing, he didn't understand, His Royal Highness, why did he choose himself, not that guy from Yamada?

Chief of Staff Nishino only cared about his own little thoughts, and he didn't listen to Prince Zaihito's words at all, and repeatedly pondered over this appointment without warning, and the position of commander with both danger and opportunity.

It was already beyond the expectations of the Japanese generals to let the chief of staff of the Far East Campaign Headquarters concurrently serve as the commander of a temporarily formed unit, and then, another appointment by Prince Zaihito made the Japanese generals stunned and lost their eyeballs.
