Steel Soviet Union

The scout troops were cleared away by the Russians and returned in embarrassment. Realizing that something was wrong, the Japanese army immediately reported the news to the highest level - Lieutenant General Okada Yiwu, the commander of the 2nd Division who personally led the team. . ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’

As a half-hundred-year-old veteran who was recommended by Neiji Okamura and whose qualifications were really good, he was finally able to take over the position of commander of the second division last year as he wished.

Taketake Okada is no longer young, but he is not necessarily old either. The age of 51 is the golden age for senior generals. It is the best period when he has rich experience and still has energy.

In the 36th year since Daganmura Ningji served as the commander of the second division, he has already served as the commander of the second division.

In the past few years, Okada Yiwu, who has traveled to many battlefields and handled many troops, and won and lost battles, once again returned to the old army of the Second Division, and has now sat in the position where Neji Okamura sat.

To be able to take charge of the Imperial Army's most elite first-class division, it should be said that Taketake Okada is quite satisfied.

Although they had officially become division commanders before, the gold content of the second-class draft horse division and the first-class draft horse division were not at the same level at all.

Many of my colleagues have dreamed of being the commander of the first-class division, and now I have caught it. How can I not be happy about it?

What? You said it’s already 1944, so what’s the point?

You can't pay too much attention to details as a human being, do you understand? I have wine today, so let’s get drunk first and then talk about it.

But having said that, Taketake Okada, who is fairly self-aware, also knows it.

The reason why I am able to sit in the position I am today is largely because people who are more suitable for this position than me have either died on the battlefield, committed suicide by caesarean section, or been involved in all kinds of embarrassing things. You must voluntarily resign or be dismissed from office.

Or maybe someone has a more leisurely position and thinks it is a better position, sitting under their buttocks. They are not interested in and unwilling to be the division commander of the combat force that burns their buttocks.

In short, although the reasons vary, a quick look shows that I, who had fought with the British in Southeast Asia earlier, was taught a lesson by rice beasts in the Pacific battlefield, and finally managed to escape back to my country, am willing to And he is relatively suitable for this position.

Otherwise, it must be said that the world is in a state of flux in a blink of an eye.

The commander of a first-class division that everyone once sought after, now even a guy who prides himself on his leisure and avoids fighting to save his life is not willing to take the position.

Okada Taketake, who lamented the decline of imperial martial ethics, could not help but worry about the "100 million pieces of jade" local decisive battle plan that had been planned by the base camp early.

Are these people just joking, or are they serious about it?

Then I thought about it. If this is really "100 million pieces of jade", then what will be left after the beating?

Even if the rice beasts are driven away in a decisive battle in their own homeland, they will just stop fighting and return to their country to sing and dance in peace, leaving a land of charred ruins for the Japanese themselves. Is it really worth it? What can you get in the end?

He didn't want to know the answer and didn't dare to think any further. Just when Okada Yiwu forced himself to calm down and prepare for war in the home defense zone.

A transfer order from the base camp played a huge joke on him, and directly threw him and the second division he took over directly back to his "old club" the Kwantung Army.

You must know that the Kwantung Army's reputation within the base camp at the end of 1944 was already bad.

All kinds of abusive comments about "supporting soldiers with self-respect", "male deer wild men", and "cannot be taught" make people shake their heads even when talking about the Kwantung Army at the wine table. It is very unbearable. The senior Japanese generals talked about the current situation of the Kwantung Army.

The Kwantung Army Group, which has guns, food and soldiers, and is self-sufficient in producing its own ordnance, listens to the orders of the base camp if it wants to, to give you face, and if you don’t want to listen, don’t listen. Who do you think is the boss?

The base camp, which was so angry that it was numb, had nothing to do with these guys. Instead, it had to beg to let these self-respecting Red Deer troops support the Japanese mainland in order to transport some of the ordnance produced to support the "100 million" "Jade Broken" final battle plan.

So the situation was almost going to be the other way around. By the end of 1944, the base camp was no longer performing its normal functions, and it was almost becoming the Kwantung Army Group yelling at the base camp.

As a general of the Kwantung Army, Okada Yiwu didn't know whether he felt comfortable with this.

Anyway, when he was staying in the mainland, he just wanted to scold his mother when he mentioned it, angrily complaining about how the Kwantung Army Ma Lu had fallen into this state and how decent it was.

As a result, the front foot had just finished spraying, and the spittle hadn't even dried before it hit the ground.

The Houji Base Camp issued an order to directly send his company and troops to the Kwantung Army.

What the hell is this kidding me? Which Baga Yelang came up with this bad idea? Is there anyone who bullies people like this?

I never thought that the style of painting would change immediately.

Okada Taketake, who originally thought he was being exiled, took a closer look and discovered that the base camp originally planned to upgrade the second division into the Imperial Army's first armored division.

The core equipment for building a new armored division, the Type IV heavy tank, is a cutting-edge equipment whose production line is placed with the Kwantung Army.

I don’t know what the superiors considered when they first negotiated with the Germans and decided to introduce imitations. They were actually willing to put such cutting-edge main equipment on the territory of the Kwantung Army.

Okada Taketake, who didn't know the details, said he couldn't figure it out, but he didn't think too much about it.

Instead, he packed up his luggage, and with a reasonably good mood, he took the troops he had just taken over and embarked on the road back to his old club, the Kwantung Army.

In fact, in the eyes of the base camp, this move is a kind of restraint within its power.

Your Kwantung Army is going to start the production line of Type 4 heavy tanks, euphemistically saying that the combat environment is more suitable and the equipment is more suitable for combat effectiveness. This is okay.

But the troops equipped with Type 4 heavy tanks must be designated by us, and the people must be our people, rather than being selected and recommended by your Kwantung Army Group.

To a certain extent, this is a compromise between the two parties. The Kwantung Army Group is not willing to overdo things and make things look too ugly.

Thinking that anyway, coming to my territory would be subject to my restrictions, and it would just add a good amount of combat power, so I acquiesced in the behavior of the base camp, which was obviously adding sand to the Kwantung Army Group.

This kind of intrigue, intrigue, and mutual restraint between the overseas clusters and the local base camp can be regarded as a distinctive "performance art" of the Japanese army today.

In any case, Okada Yiwu finally led his troops to the Kwantung Army Group, and successfully obtained the latest cutting-edge equipment designated by the base camp for installation. It indeed had as powerful a combat capability as described.

Although it is an imitation, the performance of this imitation tiger is still enough to defeat various domestic tanks of the Japanese army.

Even though Okada Taketake brought it from his homeland, which was already the most cutting-edge three-style mid-fighting at the time, compared with these four-style heavy fighting, it still looked as ridiculous as a baby rocking a stroller.

On the other hand, the expected Russian march south finally came, and it arrived earlier than previously expected, and the offensive was more rapid, fierce and deadly.

Now there is another lone Russian army, which is moving deeply into our own hinterland at an extremely fast maneuvering speed. We cannot let it continue to act recklessly, otherwise big problems will occur.

Okada Yiwu, who received the order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, was very ambitious and believed that it was finally time for him to show off his skills and show his strength. It should not be a problem to deal with the Russians' lone force.

What's more, this time it is a joint operation, not one division acting alone. It should be said that the war situation is still positive and optimistic.

But what Taketake Okada didn't expect was.

On the front foot, he still felt that "I have the advantage" and had a good chance of winning, but on the back foot, the remnant of the scouts who had been beaten with a black nose and a swollen face came back crying and mourning.

It is too outrageous to describe how ferocious and brutal the Russian scouts are and how powerful they are. The formation in the description is like machine gunners massacring primitive tribes.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, how should we deal with Second Lieutenant Nakamura and the others? These people are currently in a bad mental state and emotionally unstable. It seems that the battle with the Russian scouts caused them great psychological trauma."

""

Okada Yiwu, who frowned and was upset when the matter was mentioned, also knew that this was not a problem that could be solved by simply avoiding it and ignoring it.

After thinking for a while, Okada Yiwu felt that there was no good solution, and then he spoke a little helplessly.

"Send them down for rest and treatment. They are no longer suitable for reconnaissance and combat missions. As the division commander, I have lost trust in their abilities and status."

"Hi, got it."

Seeing that the chief of staff was about to leave to convey the order, Okada Taketake thought that he still had to add something, and then spoke additionally.

"In addition, the troops are notified to prepare for battle and be on level one alert."

"Those Russians have been invincible since they went south and faced almost no obstacles. Now the military front is at its peak, and it is the time to get carried away. I concluded that our general situation has been exposed after the scouts exchanged fire, and the enemy has gained control of the battlefield after the exchange of fire. , we will definitely be able to find out some valuable information.”

"In addition, from today to now, I have been seeing Russian planes hovering in the distance. To be honest, I have a very bad feeling. The Russian attack is likely to come soon. We must move as quickly as possible. Be prepared. You don’t have to take the initiative, but you must ensure that you can deal a heavy blow to the enemy when the Russians attack.”

"Hi! I'll go deliver it right away."

Before the chief of staff, who received an additional order, could leave, he saw a Japanese major who had already hurried into the camp with a command knife and went straight to Taketake Okada before he spoke repeatedly without even taking a breath.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, those German advisors, Major Schneider, heard the news that the scouts were attacked and defeated in a firefight with the Russians. They claimed that the Russians would attack soon. They had suffered such losses many times in the European battlefield before. I want to see you in person to explain the situation, so I’m waiting outside to see you.”

""

After hearing this, Okada Taketake looked at each other and the chief of staff beside him, and another order immediately blurted out.

"Bring them to me, immediately."

"Hi!"
