In front of the generals of the Kwantung Army, Chief of Staff Nino didn't dare to have a temper at all, but it didn't mean that he was also a good waiter in front of his attaché, a good old man with no temper, seeing His Excellency the Chief of Staff stumbling and gnawing on the mud, several attachés who followed him rushed to him, pulled His Excellency the Chief of Staff up from the cold ground, and were busy beating the dirt on his body.

The image of the chief of staff of Xinye at the moment is more miserable, his face is broken a few times, his nose is bleeding, the brand-new lieutenant general's uniform is stained with mud, and what is even worse is that the handle of the command knife on his waist, when he fell, he smacked his stomach, and his heart hurt, "Bang!" With a crisp sound, the big mouth fanned the face of a young attaché, and it was also this young man who was unlucky, he was the first to pounce in front of His Excellency the Chief of Staff, in order to show his concern.

Unfortunately, he became the target of Chief of Staff Shinno to vent his anger, and after beating the attaché, Lieutenant General Tatsuaki Shinno turned his face and glared angrily at the guards sent to him by General Minamijiro, and similarly, in front of these ordinary soldiers, he was also the chief of staff of the lieutenant general.

"Yaga! - A bunch of idiots! A sucker! Is it true that your superiors trained you to protect your superiors in this way? - Hmm! Chief of Staff Shinno shouted and scolded, and the dozen or so soldiers of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters who were responsible for protecting him, after being scolded, stepped forward a few steps without saying a word and expressionlessly, surrounded Lieutenant General Shinno in the middle, and formed a human shield for him.

There were even two strong guards, one on each side, holding Lieutenant General Shinno's arm, so strong that he almost lifted his feet off the ground, if someone who didn't know why saw it, he thought it was a prisoner escorted to the execution ground, more than a dozen soldiers, surrounded by a lieutenant general. Following a few middle- and lower-ranking officers, they walked in the direction of the venue, and this strange scenery immediately attracted the attention of the commanders at all levels of the Kwantung Army who rushed back from the front line.

"Hey! Oshima-kun, what is the origin of His Excellency Lieutenant General, why haven't you seen it before? It's an important big shot, or else, how can a dozen guards protect it? A major general with a black and unshaven beard on his face asked another major general who was with him strangely.

"I don't know. It should be a big man from the base camp, our Kwantung Army troops, even suffered losses, maybe the base camp came to investigate the reason, right? The major general speculated.

"Whew! Let's also investigate the reason, why our Kwantung Army suffered such a large loss. The reason is unknown, let the old men in the base camp. Come to the front line for a few days. Maybe scared to pee your pants, more than four million Soviet troops, what kind of formation? A lieutenant general division commander who caught up from behind scolded indignantly.

Chief of Staff Shinno has been to the Kwantung Army General Headquarters for more than ten days, and he has not been to the front line once, except for the officers in the General Headquarters. Knowing that there is such an officer who is commanding operations on the front line in addition to the chief of staff of the headquarters, he doesn't know who this person is.

Under the strange gaze of the officers of the Kwantung Army on the front line. Or biting his ear, or referring to the sound of Sang scolding Huai, Chief of Staff Shinno finally entered the big tent where the meeting was held, and it was not bad, and the burning eyes of General Minamijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, immediately got up to greet him, and politely gave Lieutenant General Shinno a seat next to him, judging from the layout of the meeting, this seat was obviously added later.

More than half an hour later, all the officers attending the meeting were all present, more than 100 people, the wide tent was crowded, and those who were qualified to attend the meeting were all officers above the rank of major general.

Commanders at all levels of the Kwantung Army faced great pressure from the Soviet Army every day, thinking about how to survive, and they had no time to meet.

"Oh, Kimura-kun, I didn't expect you, you're still alive? How did I hear that your 31st Brigade ...... as early as ten days ago" The following words are obviously unlucky, and they also touch the head, and this one will leave half a sentence.

"Yes, Noda-kun, it's not easy to meet here, our 31st Brigade was almost surrounded by the Soviet Army, or the 24th Division's Nagawa-kun, desperately rescued, and was able to get out of danger, but unfortunately, in order to rescue our brigade, Nagagawa-kun unfortunately broke the jade, that miserable scene, he was close to a Soviet large-caliber grenade, and it was torn apart, and he couldn't even put a complete corpse together," the brigade commander named Kimura said with emotion.

"In such a large-scale battle, the lives of our brigade commanders and division commanders are no more precious than the lives of an ordinary soldier, and in the attack last night, I smashed two brigade commanders under my command!" A lieutenant general division commander who was familiar with these two interjected on the side.

These words resonated with the officers of the Kwantung Army, and it was also that since the beginning of the Far Eastern Campaign, that day was not the rain of shells of the Soviet army, the desperate pursuit of millions of people, and it was a great fate to survive.

Senior General Minamijiro, who was sitting in the first place, couldn't help frowning, as if he was very dissatisfied with the presumptuousness of his subordinates, "Hmm-! Although the sound was not loud, the cold, coercive, and gloomy wind still drifted into the ears of all the officers of the Eastern Army.

General Minamijiro didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "You must be very strange, why are you recalled from the front line at this time?" He paused, looked at the generals who pricked up their ears, but changed the subject, "Before the meeting begins, I would like to introduce to you that this is the chief of staff of Shinno of the Far Eastern Campaign General Headquarters!" A special representative sent by Commander-in-Chief Jaehito to the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army! Everyone applauds and welcomes! With a flip of his palm, he stretched out to Lieutenant General Ryuaki Shinno beside him.

There was a neat but by no means warm applause, and it sounded with the meaning of weakness, and many officers of the Kwantung Army suddenly realized, "No wonder, what I saw outside the venue just now, the lieutenant general who made more than a dozen guards and human shields, turned out to be such a person, commonplace, just a rookie who has never smelled blood!" Lao Tzu carried a cannonball on his head every day, and he didn't let the soldiers protect him! Many officers, their eyes full of disdain, secretly thought of it with contempt in their hearts.

Chief of Staff Shinno would not fail to see the eyes of the officers of the Kwantung Army, and his heart was unnatural, which also made him secretly annoyed, stood up, sorted out his military uniform with a little mud, and smiled on his face, wanting to say a few words about the scene, save some face, and also show his prominent status as the chief of staff of the headquarters.

Unexpectedly, General Nanjiro didn't give him this opportunity at all, and without waiting for him to speak, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the military situation is urgent, and the order of Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is urgent, there is no extra time, and it is wasted on unnecessary false courtesy, please sit down, and I will deploy the attack plan immediately!" ”

"Gurgle", Lieutenant General Shinno came to his lips, and was blocked back, seeing the eyes of General Nanjiro, he didn't care about his meaning at all, so he had to sit down with a bruised face and an embarrassed face.

Senior General Minamijiro continued: "There is only one topic for today's emergency meeting, the General Headquarters has received an order from Commander-in-Chief Zaihito of the Far Eastern Campaign Headquarters that from dawn tomorrow, the Kwantung Army will devote all its troops to launch a counterattack on all fronts against the Soviet Army!" ”

"What?" Like a scorching thunder, it exploded on the heads of the generals of the Kwantung Army, how many families do the Kwantung Army troops still have, how much combat effectiveness the soldiers still have, these front-line commanders all know it, they have been fighting for more than a month, they are still struggling to defend and work hard, and they have not been swallowed by more than 4 million Soviet troops in one mouth, which is purely lucky, what's the matter? You have to fight back on all fronts, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief Minamijiro, aren't you dizzy?

Although the two fronts of the Soviet army have withdrawn, but Zhukov's Far Eastern Front, how many troops still have, His Excellency the commander-in-chief will not be unclear, how many troops are left in the Kwantung Army, do you need to be reminded, it is obviously a counterattack to the death, and you still have to carry out this bullshit headquarters order?

Although none of the generals of the Kwantung Army dared to jump up and oppose it, but the incomprehension and rejection, anger and helplessness in his heart were invisible but could be felt, if the air was general, permeating the conference room, General Nanjiro's more and more gloomy eyes, scanning the audience sharply, that kind of atmosphere, instantly disappeared, he didn't explain anything, just said dryly: "Chief of Staff, start to deploy the offensive tasks of various divisions and brigades!" ”

On the same night, on the battlefield with the same artillery fire, on the opposite side of the battle line, the commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, General Zhukov, had just finished a military meeting, which was diametrically opposed to the content of the meeting of the Kwantung Army, and what General Zhukov deployed was that the Far Eastern Front withdrew from the Far Eastern Battlefield according to the plan, and the evacuation plan was detailed and thorough, which was personally formulated by General Zhukov after staying up for several days and nights.

The meeting lasted less than two hours before it ended, and the commanders of the various army groups, the commanders of the armies, rushed back to their respective units, and in another four or five hours, the Far Eastern Front began to evacuate.

On the surface, everything was arranged, but General Zhukov's heart was still full of regrets, in order to deal with the local counterattack of the Kwantung Army's mad dog, the Far Eastern Front had to leave at least three army group troops, and at the same time, General Zhukov's heart, that almost intuitive uneasiness, has never dissipated!
