Chapter 2196: Forced to retreat

General Minamijiro, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, hung up the phone angrily, he just didn't understand, how did this shallow water Aoki become the commander of the division, such a favorable situation, he couldn't even see it, is it a pig's brain!

Now, the artillery group of the Kwantung Army has taken control of the battlefield, and no matter what kind of counterattack the Soviet army launches or attacks from which direction, it is exposed to fierce artillery fire, and this is a good opportunity to kill and injure the living forces of the Soviet army.

If according to the dry method of shallow water Aoki, the 107th Division launched a white-knuckle counter-charge, wouldn't it take the initiative to give up the advantage on the battlefield, there are shells, and the artillery bombardment of this scale is not a problem until dawn, and the Soviet counterattack, the more fierce the better, the more casualties, the depth of the defensive force will be weakened, which is more conducive to the subsequent attack, thinking of this, General Nanjiro's feelings are good.

In the Far East Khabarovsk City, in the General Headquarters of the Japanese Far East Campaign, Prince Zaihito personally guarded the telegraph room, every time a telegram was sent from the front, the translator had just finished translating, he couldn't wait to grab it and see, Major General Yamada, head of the General Staff Headquarters, and a large number of staff officers were at a loss to accompany him, and no one dared to disturb him, but as there were more telegrams from the front, the more difficult Prince Zaihito's face became.

There was not a single telegram that reported good news, "The Soviet fortifications are very strong, the fire is fierce, unprecedented, our troops have suffered heavy casualties, the offensive has been blocked, at present, there are no results, the offensive is still ongoing!" "Every telegram is like this, the night attack has been fought for more than two hours, and the nearly two million troops have attacked on all fronts, but there is no gain, and Prince Zairen is so angry that his liver hurts.

If tonight's offensive is not a breakthrough in the defensive positions of the Soviet Far Eastern Front. For the participating troops, it is extremely dangerous, continuous combat, the soldier's body consumption is very large, if there is no result, next, launch another attack, I don't know how many days later, the key is, I can't afford to wait. The Soviet units of the two fronts were already fighting with the rearguard clusters of the campaign that were blocking, and both Zhukov and himself were rushing for time.

Another telegram was translated, a beautiful young translator. Timidly handed the telegram to Prince Jaehito's eyes, with big charming eyes. Secretly looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, whose face was pale. Prince Jaeren didn't even look at it, so he didn't have to be angry, the last time he vomited blood, he didn't get any better, don't let these fools be angry again?

If it was in normal times, Prince Jaehito would never mind. I ate this beautiful and coquettish female ensign translator as a side dish to relieve boredom in my spare time, but now I am obviously not in the mood for this. I'm not interested, although her big watery eyes are quite seductive!

Seeing this, Major General Yamada hurriedly took the telegram from the hand of the translator, and just glanced at it, and exclaimed: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, it is a telegram from the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, the Kwantung Army troops, have opened a breakthrough in the first line of defense of the Soviet Army, and consolidated their positions, and inflicted heavy casualties on the counterattacking Soviet troops. ”

"What?" Prince Jaehito turned around suddenly, grabbed the telegram, and quickly browsed it, "Hahaha! - Yo Xi! Minamijiro-kun is not a famous general of my Great Japanese Empire, and he actually opened the channel for attack, Yo Xi! He laughed and shouted, his face flushed with excitement, his eyes lit up, and suddenly, he hugged the beautiful lady of the translator, it was a bear hug,

"Plump breasts, stiff and stiff feel good!" Prince Jae-in suddenly had a desire to eat her.

"Yamada-kun, call back to General Minamijiro immediately, the Kwantung Army troops are worthy of being the flower of the Imperial Army, Nanjijun deserves to be a famous general of the Empire, and in one fell swoop, this battle will inevitably be recorded in the history of the Imperial Army's operations, and I would like to pay tribute to all the officers and men of the Kwantung Army in the name of His Majesty the Emperor!" Prince Zai commanded with a bright face, and at the same time, his eyes surrounded the plump breasts of Miss Translator, and he kept spinning, and the little brother under his crotch was about to move.

Usually high up, and not much contact with the officers at the bottom, if you don't care about the battle situation today, when you get to the telecommunications room, you really can't find it, just under your nose, there is still such a lovely stunner, the Kwantung Army decided to make a breakthrough in the overall situation of the campaign, it is worth celebrating with the vivid flesh of a beautiful woman, Prince Zaihito left the telegraph room, and before leaving, he gave the beautiful translator a meaningful look.

Prince Jaehito believed that she would understand this hint, the young and beautiful lady of the translator, of course understood the meaning of His Royal Highness's gaze, and after Prince Zaihito's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, she was excited and nervous, and her chest was so excited that her towering chest rose and fell, "I was taken by His Royal Highness the Prince, is this true?" He was one of the most powerful men in the Japanese Empire! A dizziness of great happiness filled her mind, and there was a feeling of dizziness and unreality.

Prince Zairen's evaluation of the Kwantung Army is not an exaggeration, and the development of the battlefield situation corresponds to the old Chinese idiom "A thousand miles of embankment collapses in an anthill!" "The 11th Army of the Soviet Army, with all its strength, launched desperate counterattacks again and again, trying to recapture the breakthrough, but the powerful and ferocious artillery fire of the Japanese army, more and more Japanese troops, kept pouring up, and stood firm, and the Soviet counterattacks were repulsed again and again.

Everywhere was covered in blood, the corpses of the Soviet soldiers were fragmented, the thick snow was dyed dark purple, and then, the wind rolled up the snow and covered up the bloodstains, but soon, there was a new layer of bloodstains, staining the earth red, and the sky was slightly bright, and the Soviet Eleventh Army had lost too much blood and lost the ability to continue the counterattack.

After nearly six hours of fierce fighting, more than 80,000 soldiers of the 11th Army of the Soviet Army fell under the fire of the Japanese army and fell on the snow-covered land of the Far East, an area with a radius of only tens of thousands of square meters, which turned out to be the fiercest, most cruel, and bloodiest place since the beginning of the Far East Campaign, and disabled a main army of the Soviet Army.

Moreover, the breakthrough was successfully expanded to a range of more than ten kilometers on the left and right sides, no matter what kind of counterattack action the Soviet army took at this time, it could not plug this huge position gap, and the first line of positions was lost, it was only a matter of time, most of the troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army had begun to attack the depth of the Soviet defense!

General Zhukov, who received the report, buried his head deeply, the muscles on his cheeks were so painful that he couldn't stop twitching, he knew that the ice and snow defense line he had painstakingly designed was finished, and the southern direction of the position was lost, which meant that the first defensive position completely collapsed, and as a last resort, Zhukov ordered all troops to abandon the first line of positions and withdraw into the second line of positions to hold on, but the solidity and complexity of the second line of positions, and the equipment of firepower, etc., were far inferior to the first line of positions.

The defensive range was compressed by the Japanese army, the space on the battlefield was further reduced, and the Japanese artillery fire could exert greater power, and the impact on the morale of the soldiers was even more terrifying, and the Far Eastern Front was facing a severe crisis.

When the Far East Campaign was fought in full flesh and blood, the two group armies of the vanguard of the Soviet Outer Khinganling Front, which had returned to the reinforcements, formally fought with the Japanese Far East Campaign Rear Guard Cluster, and the strength of the two Soviet armies was obviously not enough to see in front of the position personally designed by the commander Lieutenant General Haruhiko, and on the day of the battle, Lieutenant General Haruhiko seized the favorable opportunity of the Soviet army's small strength and the main force was far behind, and ordered the Japanese troops on the defensive line to take the initiative to launch a counterattack.

After a whole day of fierce fighting, the vanguard of the Soviet Outer Khinganling Front was completely repulsed, leaving nearly 10,000 corpses, and the retreat of the wolf bèi, the Japanese casualties were slightly less than those of the Soviet army, however, the commander Lieutenant General Haruhiko believed that it was worth it, and with the joy of victory, the Japanese troops returned to the blocking line position and waited for the arrival of the main force of the Soviet army.

After a day and a night, the troops of the Soviet Outer Khinganling Front pressed up on all fronts, and the commander of the Front, General Kirganin, who had been informed by Zhukov, was anxious, and the troops that were in the midst of hard defense, the most important defensive position, were broken through by the Japanese army, and he was also a veteran of the battlefield, he knew what this meant?

Saving the troops was like fighting a fire, and his old friend Zhukov was anxiously waiting for him to lend a helping hand, and General Kirganin did not even order the exhausted troops, who had been exhausted from the long march, to take some rest, and ordered an immediate attack.

In the faint light of dawn, more than 1,000 Soviet-style "T-62" tanks, lined up in a wedge-shaped formation, divided into three offensive directions, crushed from the horizon, the engine roared low, the tracks rolled up the snow, the armor reflected the dark metallic luster, and behind, the black pressed infantry, like a tidal wave, like a moving metal wall, with the momentum of destroying a qiē, appeared in the field of vision of the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers lying in the cold trenches felt that the ground under them was trembling slightly, and as soon as General Kirganin made a move, he was like a thunderbolt, and came up with the strongest offensive lineup, intending to break through the Japanese army's blocking line in one fell swoop, and he had no extra time to waste.

Lieutenant General Haruhiko, commander of the Japanese Far East Campaign Guard Group, put down his binoculars with a heavy heart and took a deep breath, the victory of the Kwantung Army, the retreat of the Soviet Army, and the first phase of the Far East Campaign's offensive was quite fruitful. Of course, it is a thing worth celebrating, but for the rearguard cluster, it is necessary to bear more pressure, the Soviet Far Eastern Front is in danger, and the Soviet troops who rescue it will inevitably be desperate.

"I hope that the fortifications I designed can stop the attack of the Soviet army!" Lieutenant General Haruhiko thought to himself, it seems to be some kind of coincidence, Senior General Zhukov and Lieutenant General Haruhiko Taiichi, two generals on both opposing sides, both have their brains on the snow everywhere.
