As soon as Inoue Haruyuki finished speaking, the signal corpsman ran over and said: "Colonel Inoue, it's bad, the beach position was captured by the Soviet army, all the ferries were blown up by Soviet artillery fire, and our army's retreat has been cut off."
Inoue Haruyuki was shocked and said: "How could this happen?"
On the side, Major Hirata Shiro said: "The Soviets have already set up a plan. They are just waiting for us to take the bait and then catch us all. Colonel Inoue, let's withdraw quickly."
Inoue said: "Baga! The Soviet people have a very bad conscience. It's not that easy to annihilate us!"
Taking out the map, Inoue glanced at it and said: "If my estimate is correct, after cutting off our army's retreat, the Soviet army will definitely surround our army from all sides. If they retreat to seize the beach position, it will play into the Soviet army's ambitions. Therefore,
We can't go back."
"Don't go back? What should we do?" Shiro Hirata asked.
Inoue said: "Our army is now in an extremely passive situation. As I expected, whether we retreat or stay where we are, the Soviet army will definitely outflank it. The Soviet army has a large number of heavy weapons and artillery."
support, but our army is only light infantry and has no chance of winning. If we want to avoid the fate of annihilation, we can only make a desperate move and take it by surprise."
Shiro Hirata said: "What does Colonel want to do to raid Vladivostok?"
Inoue Haruyuki said: "No, if our army does not retreat, but uses a small force to confuse the Soviet army and continues to advance towards Vladivostok, then the Soviet army will definitely think that we are going to attack Vladivostok, and their main force will definitely return to defend.
Vladivostok, but our main force went to attack Kraskino. When we captured Kraskino, the Soviet army would definitely chase us. But here we went to attack Vladivostok. At this time, the strength of Vladivostok was empty, and we could fight.
And down."
Shiro Hirata said: "This is a good plan, but the problem is that our army has no backup supplies. I am afraid that if we can't reach Christiano, we will all starve to death."
Inoue Haruyuki smiled coldly and said: "As long as there are people, there will be food for us. The Soviets will definitely have food. We will go all the way to grab food and raise food on the spot. As long as we get to Christiano, we will
Then you can get enough logistical supplies, and then move to Vladivostok without worrying about logistical supply issues."
"We can solve the problem with food, but what about arms?" Shiro Hirata asked.
Inoue Haruyuki said: "Our army has occupied air superiority in the Far East. By then, our air force will be able to air-drop bullets and weapons, so arms will not be a problem."
"His Majesty Osaka is really powerful, you can actually come up with such a powerful plan." Shiro Hirata was in admiration.
Haruyuki Inoue said seriously: "The most powerful general in the Chinese army is Xu Rui, who caused huge losses to the imperial army. I have been studying how to defeat Xu Rui for a long time, and finally I came to the conclusion that the only way is to use Xu Rui."
Only Rui's tactics can defeat him, so I devoted myself to studying Xu Rui's tactics. I summarized Xu Rui's tactics in eight words: surprise and unprepared attack. My tactics today are just to learn Xu Rui's tactics.
"
"Osaku Hideaki." Shiro Hirata said.
"Order, the entire army immediately turns south and attacks Christiano!"
"Hai..."
"Report, our army has surrounded the fifth wave of Japanese troops, but the main force of 5,000 Japanese troops suddenly lost track, and the 107th Division and 109th Division lost their targets." The Signal Corps reported to Cherev.
Cherev was startled, looked at each other with Leng Tiefeng, then quickly walked to the map, and kept searching on the map.
"Haruyuki Inoue did not launch an attack on the beach, which shows that he gave up his retreat. Then he must have a new goal." Leng Tiefeng said.
Cherev said: "The biggest strategic target of the entire Primorsky Territory is Vladivostok. Did Inoue Haruyuki ignore the backup and attack Vladivostok?"
"It's very possible. It's just that I feel that Inoue Haruyuki went so far alone to attack the fortified city of Vladivostok that it was a bit too reckless." Leng Tiefeng said.
Cherev said: "Attacking Vladivostok is Inoue Haruyuki's best choice. He must attack Vladivostok. Only by winning Vladivostok can he achieve the campaign goal and be supplemented when logistics is cut off."
Leng Tiefeng said: "It's very possible, but I always feel a little weird. Is it really that simple?"
Cherev said: "Maybe Inoue Haruyuki has some conspiracy, but Vladivostok must not make any mistakes, otherwise the entire Primorsky Krai will be over."
At this moment, a signal soldier came in and said: "Comrade Political Commissar, we have discovered that a large group of Japanese soldiers are advancing towards Vladivostok."
"Finally found it, Comrade Leng Tiefeng, now you can give the order."
Although Leng Tiefeng felt a little strange in his heart, he still decided to obey Cherev's order.
Cherev immediately ordered that the 107th and 109th Divisions immediately return to support Vladivostok, and the 108th Division immediately launched a general attack on the fifth wave of Japanese troops to completely eliminate the Japanese troops.
"boom!"
"Boom!"
The artillery fire of an entire artillery division poured into the Japanese formation. The Japanese suffered heavy losses and kept screaming. After a full hour of artillery attack, the Soviet 108th Division launched an all-out attack on the Japanese. In an instant,
The sound of killing was so loud that more than 8,000 Soviet troops had an absolute advantage in strength and firepower, killing Japanese corpses everywhere.
Just as the Soviet army came, the Japanese soldiers installed bayonets on their rifles one by one, preparing to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Soviet army. However, the Soviet army did not give the Japanese soldiers a chance to fight hand-to-hand. They directly greeted them with Bobosa submachine guns. The next moment, the Japanese
The Japanese were knocked to the ground one by one.
Under the superior firepower of the Soviet army, the Japanese army finally collapsed. The entire battle lasted only three hours. Two thousand Japanese soldiers were wiped out by the Soviet army. Except for more than a hundred people who were captured, most of the Japanese soldiers were killed.
At the last moment of their destruction, the Japanese continued to contact Inoue Haruyuki and asked Inoue Haruyuki to send troops for reinforcements. However, Inoue Haruyuki just asked the Japanese to hold on, claiming that reinforcements would arrive soon, but until the last moment, not even a single sign of reinforcements arrived.
.
Shiro Hirata said: "Colonel Inoue, are we really going to die without saving him?"
Inoue Haruyuki said: "It's not that I don't save, but that we are simply unable to save. Now, we just have to let them defend, attract the Soviet army's attention, create conditions for the main force's next move, and let them contribute to the empire's victory.
Give me the last bit of strength."
Inoue Haruyuki immediately ordered everyone to speed up and move quickly towards Christiano.
Inoue Haruyuki was very cautious, so he always took small roads to carry out his operations. The Japanese had been spying on Primorsky Krai for a long time, and the maps they drew were more detailed than those drawn by the Soviets. It was precisely with the detailed maps that Inoue Haruyuki was able to move like a fish in water.
It was never discovered by the Soviets from beginning to end.
At dusk, Inoue Haruyuki's troops passed by a small village. In order not to reveal their whereabouts, Inoue Haruyuki ordered that all the people in the village be killed without leaving any one behind. Later, the entire village's food and supplies were looted by the Japanese.
.
After receiving the replenishment, the Japanese did not stop and immediately marched towards Christiano overnight.
At the same time, Inoue Haruyuki used the radio to contact Toshiro Naomi at the 28th Division headquarters in Mishan and reported his action plan. Naomi Toshiro was originally suffering from headaches because the ferry was bombed and he could no longer transport reinforcements to the other side of Xingkai Lake.
, and also lost the whereabouts of Inoue Haruyuki, and was overjoyed to see Inoue Haruyuki take the initiative to send a telegram.
After learning about Inoue Haruyuki's plan, Natami Toshiro keenly felt that this was an opportunity to capture the Primorsky Krai. If Inoue Haruyuki's plan was implemented, then there would be no need for Yamashita Tofumi's subsequent 300,000-strong army, only his own
The 28th Division can capture Primorsky Krai.
Thinking of this, Toshiro Nami was very excited and expressed his agreement with Haruyuki Inoue's plan. He would order the air force to do its best to cooperate with Haruyuki Inoue's actions.
After getting the consent of Toshiro Nami, Inoue Haruyuki's confidence doubled and without any pause, he led his troops towards Christiano in the night, preparing to take advantage of the Soviets' unpreparedness to capture Kriskino in one fell swoop!
Vladivostok, in the hospital, Savushkin sat on Xu Rui's bedside and said: "The situation at Cherev is very good. They have eliminated 5,000 Japanese devils, but there are still 5,000 Japanese devils who escaped from the encirclement.
Now he is missing."
"Missing?" Xu Rui frowned and said, "The Primorsky Territory is so big. Five thousand Japanese devils have a big target. How can they escape so easily?"
"Bring me the map."
Savushkin immediately ordered his adjutant to get the map, and then looked at it, frowning.
At this moment, an officer came to Xu Rui's ward and said to Savushkin: "Commander, the missing Japanese army has been found."
"Found it? Where?" Savushkin asked.
"They are advancing towards Vladivostok. It seems that they want to capture Vladivostok in one fell swoop," the officer said.
"There are strong fortifications near Vladivostok, and there are 5,000 garrison troops. There are also 10,000 troops stationed in various places nearby. It is impossible for the Japanese to invade Vladivostok. They are here to die."
Xu Rui said: "The Japs officer under this command is quite talented. He can actually see a way to turn defeat into victory from a desperate situation. Do you know who the commander of this Japs army is?"
"Judging from the intelligence obtained, the commander of this Japanese group should be Haruyuki Inoue, chief of staff of the 28th Japanese Division." Savushkin's adjutant said.
"Haruyuki Inoue? I seem to have heard of this name." Xu Rui frowned, thinking hard.
"Comrade Xu Rui, according to intelligence, Inoue Haruyuki admires you very much and is very knowledgeable about your tactics. When commanding operations, he likes to win by surprise." Savushkin's adjutant said with a smile...
