The 3rd Reconnaissance Brigade of the Intelligence Department of the Soviet Far Eastern Front sent back the information, which has no end, it can be seen that this rare information, how hasty, but unmistakably told Zhukov a message, the source of his inner turmoil, finally surfaced, it turned out that the black hand that could not be seen but felt was stretched out from the direction of the Buleya Mountains.

On the other side of the Burea Mountains, the vanguard of the Japanese army was discovered, that is, there were more Japanese troops behind, but how many were not mentioned in the intelligence, or they did not have time to mention it, this information shocked Zhukov, but also made him feel a little comforted and relieved.

Shocked, the Japanese army actually took this route, it is undeniable that this is the closest route to reach the Far Eastern battlefield, however, it is necessary to cross the snow-covered Bria Mountains, the natural terrain conditions, which limit the mobility of the Japanese army's large corps, as well as the transportation of heavy weapons and equipment, Zhukov was surprised by the audacity and madness of the Japanese commander, according to the intelligence of the reconnaissance unit, the Japanese army, this unit, is only about 90 kilometers away from the battlefield.

That is to say, the Japanese army that crossed the Buleya Mountains only needed a little more than a day to reach the Far Eastern battlefield and become a sharp knife inserted into the flank of the troops of the Far Eastern Front.

To be precise, it was late, even if the troops marched at the fastest pace, they were more than a day behind the Japanese army, and by the time they arrived, it was too late, and the blockage could not be blocked. Fortunately, it could only be the light infantry of the Japanese army, and the strength would not be too many, but it was just a surprise soldier from the Japanese commander in order to clamp down on the Far Eastern Front troops from the flank.

Zhukov was slightly relieved that the Japanese army, this strange army, was still more than a day late. The three armies of the first echelon of the Far Eastern Front, as well as the three army groups of the second echelon, have already begun to withdraw from the battlefield, especially the two army groups spread out on the left and right flanks, which may not encounter the Japanese army. Still, all the pressure. It will all be left to the three army group units that are responsible for the covering task. Their future is worrisome!

What is urgently needed now is to speed up the withdrawal of the troops when the Japanese army has not yet drawn its swords, "Order the Intelligence Department, and contact that Captain Vatutin immediately." It was ordered to immediately find out the specific number of Japanese troops on the left flank of the Bria Mountains! Zhukov instructed the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Godayav.

In addition, the troops that left cover are informed. Send forces for flank defense, "Comrade Chief of Staff, inform the commanders of the three armies left behind, and at the same time order the Seventh Army, which is close to the Bria Mountains, to send the forces of at least one corps to establish a defensive line on the flanks!" He also instructed that there was only one thing he could do, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the intelligence, the Japanese army would have been completely passive.

The telegram from the Intelligence Department of the Far Eastern Front would never have been received by the 3rd Reconnaissance Group, and the skirmish at the pass in the Bria Mountains was completely ended in a short time.

More than 40 people from the 3rd Reconnaissance Brigade of the Intelligence Department of the Soviet Far East Front were spared, and all of them became bloody corpses on snow-covered hills, and the 3rd Search Squadron of the 138th Division of the Japanese Far East Dispatch Army also paid the price of more than 20 casualties.

The fierce gunfire just now made Captain Kato frightened and excited, and what he was afraid of was that it must be his own squadron, which exchanged fire with the Soviet army, I don't know how many troops the Soviet army has, if it is not good, a squadron will be explained here!

Excitedly, his soldiers should have reached the mountain pass position first, and they would not suffer losses in the fight, so Captain Kato was very proud of the order he had just given, if he had been a little soft-hearted at that time and ordered to rest on the spot, I am afraid that the Soviet soldiers who occupied the mountain pass at this moment would not have become a living target for the Soviets.

Looking at the squadron leader who climbed up with the rolling belt, finally a few soldiers stretched out their hands, pulled His Excellency the squadron leader, and pushed the belt, Captain Kato, finally stood in the position of the mountain pass, he looked at the battlefield, and then looked at the corpses of more than a dozen Soviet soldiers who were only a few meters away from him, and the red blood left behind had frozen on the snow layer of regret, red blood and white snow, forming a strange picture with strong color contrast.

A strong smell of blood came to his face, Captain Kato couldn't help but feel a wave of overturning in his stomach, the first time he went to the battlefield, he faced such a terrifying scene, which made him very uncomfortable, but it was the self-esteem of the officers of the Imperial Japanese Army that made him resist the urge to vomit, and at the same time, he was annoyed in his heart, "These bastards are actually good at making claims and fighting without their own orders!" ”

Of course, this approach is absolutely correct, when the gunshots rang out, he was still halfway up the mountainside, fighting with the slippery snow, and when he arrived to give the battle order, it was too late, but this does not mean that these bastards can defy the authority of their squadron leader!

Captain Kato had a gloomy face, walked to the body of Captain Vatutin, from the epaulettes of this Soviet officer, it was clear that it was the supreme commander of this small Soviet unit, a radio station, was blown into parts, immediately, Captain Kato found a reason to lose his temper, and angrily shouted to the three squad leaders who ordered the troops to fight without authorization, pointing to the radio parts scattered on the snow, and the flames were blazing!

"Yaga! -- Pig heads, three fools, without the slightest concept of the battlefield, let me ask you, since the Imperial soldiers occupied the Kulen Pass in advance, why didn't they capture all this small Soviet army alive, and get more information from the mouths of the Soviets! Don't sue me, I've served in the Imperial Army for many years, and I don't even know the most basic common sense, right? Captain Kato spat out his mouth and roared viciously.

Squadron Leader Kato not only roared angrily, but also the green tendons on his head jumped up one by one, "The small Soviet army is less than fifty people at most, and how many people are in our third search squadron, more than one hundred and thirty people, more than several times the strength of the enemy, and it is a surprise attack, not only did not capture a single prisoner, but also killed and injured more than 20 imperial soldiers. - Hmm! The more he scolded, the more irrepressible the anger in Captain Kato's heart became.

"Not only that, but you also ignore the most basic common sense when you command the operation, this is obviously a reconnaissance team of the Soviet army, if you don't destroy the radio station carried by the Soviet army first, the task of our division and regiment will be exposed to the commander of the Soviet army, this is an unforgivable mistake! Stupid pig! - In the elite search force of the Imperial Army, there are stupid pigs like you! Captain Kato, who was yelling, believed it to be true, and the more he roared, the more angry he became.

I felt more and more that these three squad leaders who dared to defy their authority and had no distinction between dignity and inferiority were stupid, and Captain Kato was angry and rounded his arms, "Smack!" - Bang Bang! There was a crisp sound, and in front of more than a hundred soldiers, he gave the three squad leaders seven or eight big mouths each, and the cheeks of the three squad leaders were inflated and swollen.

After beating the mouths of the three subordinates, the evil fire in Captain Kato's heart was calmed down, and he glared at the three purple squad leaders with purple cheeks viciously, and the remaining anger was not gone, and from his throat, he squeezed out a word, "Get out!" ”

The three captains who were beaten with big mouths for no reason, they didn't dare to put a fart, and bowed their heads in unison and responded: "Hayi! This is the rule of the Imperial Japanese Army, Captain Kato thinks it is natural, but he didn't see it, in the eyes of the three squad captains who are veterans, there is a touch of resentment that is so rich that it can't be dissolved, it is said that in a battle shortly thereafter, Captain Kato was gloriously broken for the Imperial Japan.

It's a real jade shatter, a jade fragment from the body to the soul, Captain Kato is very unlucky, in the middle of the battle, he was directly hit by a few grenades, and he couldn't even find a little bone slag, and the strange thing is that the soldiers around the captain are all fine, at most they are cut by shrapnel, it seems that these grenades, as if they have a grudge, are specifically looking for Captain Kato, therefore, in the third search squadron, there is a quiet spread that Captain Kato's jade fragments are ......

Then, the squad leader who followed Captain Kato was promoted to captain squadron leader of the Third Search Squadron, which added a touch of conspiracy to the cause of Captain Kato's death, but in the Imperial Japanese Army, there are many low-level officers like Captain Kato, and they are a cannon fodder in themselves, and it is not surprising that ten thousand people will die, and in addition, he has no special background in the army, and this matter is only circulated within the Third Search Squadron.

Obviously, Captain Kato had not yet realized that his life had entered the countdown, and he was about to disappear into the snow-covered land of the Far East, and moreover, rubbing his aching wrist in a crushing manner, Captain Kato ordered the radio soldiers to immediately contact the headquarters of the 138th Division and regiment to report an important enemy situation.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, I am Captain Masao Kato, the leader of the Third Squadron of the Search Brigade directly under the Division and Regiment Headquarters, and my squadron has occupied the position of the Buleya Mountain Pass, where we can overlook the whole picture of the Far Eastern battlefield, and in addition, under the command of the headquarters, after more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, a reconnaissance team of the Soviet Army was completely annihilated with more than 50 people, according to this, the commander of the Soviet Army may have learned the information that our division has arrived at the Buleya Pass!"
