General Zhukov, commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front and commander-in-chief of the Soviet forces in the East, is now paying all his attention to the situation of the two fronts that had been evacuated in advance and were intercepted by the troops of the independent division in the direction from Chita to Irkutsk, and at the same time, he was also thinking about the retreat of the Far Eastern Front, but Zhukov did not expect that on this complicated night, there was an invisible mortal danger, quietly pressing towards the Far Eastern Front!

At night, Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the division commander of the division commander of the temporary headquarters of the independent division in Delun, southern Outer Mongolia, took a telegram and walked into the room of the division commander Tang Qiuli, "Division commander, I received a telegram from Deputy Division Commander Liu, and the troops of the East Finger and the North China Field Corps exchanged fire with the retreating two Soviet front vanguard units in multiple locations on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, but we are still taking advantage of us and fighting an ambush war!" He said happily.

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli put down the telegram in his hand and responded lightly, not much surprised, a little surprised, but also expected, Liu Tiehan commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, Chen Bing and Chita to Irkutsk line, it is impossible to hide from the Soviet army for a long time, and it is a matter of time before they meet and fight, but it is a little soon!

Zhao Yuhe glanced at the division commander, then pulled out another telegram, and said: "Division commander, Deputy Division Commander Liu specially called to explain the reason for the battle with the Soviet army earlier than expected, and the exchange of fire from this time to the beginning is because the vanguard of the Soviet army advanced its main force of about 180 kilometers, and the speed of the advance was extremely fast, and there was an intention to occupy the key points along the way. ”

Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "Yuhe, call back to Deputy Division Commander Liu." Brother Tie Han, fighting with the Soviet army was expected by you and me, and it had no impact on the overall battle situation, it was nothing more than three or five days in advance, but one thing should be noted, after the troops under the command of Brother Tie Han revealed their position, the Soviet army learned that our army intended to intercept its withdrawal. In order to seize time, we will inevitably assault our troops with a heavy group! ”

"Therefore, the troops of our army on the line from Chita to Irkutsk must be ready to get out of the way at any time. Avoiding a head-on confrontation with the superior Soviet army is the way we play in front of us in the Far Eastern theater. The Soviets gathered heavy forces to open the passage. It was also two or three days before the attack could begin, and during this time, Brother Tie Han could make adjustments to the local deployment of the troops, and the specific plan was already clear to Brother Tie Han. I won't go into too much detail here!

"There is only one thing that I am quite worried about, my brother's bravery, well-known throughout the army, and he must be on the front line to command in every battle. In this regard, I am very uneasy, between Zhou Xuan and more than 2 million Soviet troops, the soldiers are in danger, Brother Tie Han should pay attention to his own safety, and in addition, the headquarters of Brother Tie Han can be set up in the area west of Chita, and the overall command is planned for safety! ”

Zhao Yuhe asked a staff officer to send a telegram, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know from there, all the troops were acting according to the predetermined plan, and he, the chief of staff, seemed to have nothing to do at the moment.

At this time, Tang Qiuli sighed and said with some self-deprecation: "Yuhe, I don't feel very comfortable, our troops on the front line of Chita and Irkutsk are ahead of the Japanese army and fight with the Soviet army, so that, objectively, it will become a cover for the Japanese army to encircle the troops of the Soviet Far East Front, and Zhukov's attention will be attracted by us!" ”

"Inexplicably, I became a thug of the Japanese, and it was uncomfortable for the Japanese to take advantage of it—it was really uncomfortable! Who would have expected that the vanguard of the Soviet army would dare to advance the main force more than 100 kilometers away, which is also a certainty! He shook his head as he spoke, looking very unwilling.

Zhao Yuhe wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it, it was the first time he saw the chagrin of the division commander, "Our intentions have been exposed, Zhukov is a very vigilant person, and he may speed up the pace of the Far Eastern Front to get out of the Far East because of this, if the Japanese army secretly outflanks the troops in the past and does not speed up, the Japanese attempt to encircle the Soviet Far Eastern Front is likely to fail, and the Kwantung Army will not care about the entanglement of life and death, Zhukov will also notice the difference!" He continued.

Zhao Yuhe has another opinion, "Division commander, your analysis is good, but I think that even if Zhukov is aware of this, it is not easy for the Soviet Far Eastern Front to get out of the battlefield with more than one million people, at the very least, it is necessary to solve the entanglement of the Kwantung Army, therefore, I can conclude that the Japanese still have a great chance, but our troops are fighting on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, which will affect the rhythm of the Japanese!" ”

Tang Qiuli thought about it for a while, and then he was relieved, "However, in this way, that Emperor Hirohito may be scolding his mother, and he must be scolding me!" ”

Emperor Hirohito, who was far away in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan, did not know at all that overnight, the situation in the Far East had changed, but in Khabarovsk, Prince Zaihito, who had secretly set up the Far East Campaign Command, was first startled, his brows were furrowed, and his slender eyes flashed with an unpredictable light, and he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

A group of high-ranking officers of the Japanese army, standing on both sides with their hands down, looking at their superiors calmly, all knew that this scheming prince His Royal Highness was thinking about what the hell was going on in his heart?

"Yo Xi! - Great! Zairen suddenly stopped, and suddenly came out with a sentence, and the Japanese officers were stunned, I don't know why His Royal Highness, who has been going back and forth for more than a dozen times, came out with such a sentence?

Prince Zaihito's eyes swept away, and he knew that these officers were still like ducks listening to thunder, dizzy, and didn't understand what they meant, originally, with Prince Zairen's personality and arrogance, he would not explain to these officers, more than one million troops of the Imperial Japanese Army in the Far East, it is enough to have their own smart heads, and others, as long as they carry out the order, they will do their duty!

But Prince Zairen's current mood is obviously very good, and he is in a good mood, so he wants to show off a few words, "Gentlemen, are you surprised, why am I good?" To put it simply, the troops of the devil Tang Qiuli in China, fighting with the retreating Soviet troops on the front line of Chita and Irkutsk, were of great help to our military operations in the Far East, and the people of China unwittingly became pawns to cover the actions of our Imperial Japanese Army! He said succinctly, with a slight smug look on his face.

Seeing a cadre of senior officers, the look in their eyes was still a little dazed, obviously not keeping up with their own train of thought, the corners of Prince Zairen's mouth, a trace of contempt, but quickly hidden, "There is nothing mysterious, directly speaking, the attention of the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army Zhukov was attracted by the actions of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli troops, and what he is thinking about now is how to break through the blocking of the Chinese troops as much as possible, correspondingly, he has no time to take care of the actions of our imperial army!" Therefore, that branch devil Tang Qiuli has become my pawn! ”

"Hahaha!" Prince Zairen laughed, maybe he felt that he could finally put his rival Tang Qiuli together, and he was in a very comfortable mood, how many years, with that devil Tang Qiuli, the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire had never taken advantage, and now, he could finally get back a game, just ask, those famous generals of the Great Japanese Empire, which one can do it?

The Japanese officers suddenly realized, and looked at Prince Zairen with admiration one by one, not that the heads of these senior officers were in the water, or they were idiots, under normal circumstances, anyone would think of this, but it was a little unbelievable that it happened to the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire, the devil Tang Qiuli, who would have thought that the enemy of the empire would cooperate with the imperial army tacitly?

Inexplicably became a pawn in the battle, I'm afraid that Amaterasu and His Majesty the Emperor both reported thinking about it, so they would have absolute admiration for Prince Zaihito, since they admired it, of course, they had to express it, and the Japanese officers were just about to pat some sycophants in the past, and suddenly, "Uh! Prince Jaehito's laughter stopped abruptly, like a duck that had been trampled on its neck.

Immediately, Prince Zairen's face became extremely ugly, and he scolded angrily, "Yaga-damn the devil of China, he ruined my whole plan, big damn it!" The Japanese officers were like falling into the clouds for five miles, their heads short-circuited, and they looked at the furious Prince Zaihito with dumbfounded eyes.

They all muttered in their hearts, "This Royal Highness the Prince is too moody, right?" Dogs? Changing your face is fast, just now you were laughing triumphantly, blinking your eyes, and you are angry, a gust of wind and a gust of rain, isn't this stimulating the nerves of the big guys? Just this line of thought, typical schizophrenia, we are willing to bow to the wind and can't keep up! ”

I was happy before, and the big guys understood in their hearts that it was because they used that branch devil as a chess piece to cover the actions of the Imperial Japanese Army and encircle the Soviet Far Eastern Front, but this sudden anger and gnashing of teeth were gritted again. It's a vicious curse again, and what's it for? I don't know this time!

Zairen no longer has the leisure to show off and explain, he suddenly thought of a possibility, no, not a possibility, but a certainty, Zhukov learned that the Soviet Army's Trans-Khinganling Front and the Baikal Front, on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, were intercepted and killed by the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, how would he react?

The biggest possibility is to speed up the extrication from the Far Eastern battlefield, the reason is very simple: after the two fronts that had withdrawn in advance broke through the blockade of the independent divisions, they would inevitably have no time to turn back or wait for the Far Eastern Front, so Zhukov's troops would not become lone troops, so what Zhukov had to do immediately was to immediately join up with the other two fronts of the Soviet Union.
