Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

According to the original timeline, by early June, the scale of the conflict between the two sides was not very large.

Their battles were all sporadic and involving small groups of troops.

It was not until the second half of June that casualties on both sides began to surge as the scale of troop conflicts expanded.

But this time, when Zeng Jiwen received the news in Moscow, he was immediately shocked by the losses in the Far East.

The battle report showed that from the very beginning, the Japanese army sent three battalions as bait.

When the Far Eastern Army's 36th Motorized Infantry Division, the 11th Tank Brigade, and the 6th Mongolian Cavalry Division were lured to the bank of the Khalkha River one after another.

The Japanese 23rd Division and the 7th Armored Vehicle Regiment, in cooperation with the 2nd Air Force Regiment, suddenly attacked from the side and defeated the troops in the north.

Resulting in heavy casualties in the north.

Upon hearing the news, the North immediately appointed the man who later became known as the ever-victorious general as the commander of the 57th Special Army.

Then other troops were urgently dispatched to advance towards Nomonhan.

What happened next was just as Zeng Jiwen had guessed. After that person arrived, he quickly stabilized the front-line defense.

At the same time, the war with the original time and space in July and August began in June.

When Zeng Jiwen came back from there, the front line was in a state of stalemate.

At the same time, troops were being sent to the northeast and north.

When Zeng Jiwen saw the losses in the north, he was a little confused.

Did the Japanese army become so powerful this time?

In fact, what Zeng Jiwen didn’t know was that this time it could be said that Zeng Jiwen indirectly cheated their big brother.

However, because he had cheated his big brother, Zeng Jiwen gained a lot from this trip to the north.

The story begins with the way Zeng Jiwen and others inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese troops in North China last year.

Since the Japanese army in North China was severely damaged by the Eighth Route Army, it unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the newly appointed commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro.

After he checked the battle reports between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army in North China, Umezu Yoshijiro, an old friend of Zeng Jiwen, suddenly became interested.

Speaking of it, Umezu Yoshijiro was also lucky. Because of Zeng Jiwen, Umezu Yoshijiro, who served as the commander of the First Army, returned to his country and became a reserve because of the first destruction of the 108th Division.

However, as the Japanese army in North China continued to suffer losses, especially after the Battle of Shijiazhuang.

Looking back at this time, the masters at the base camp thought that Umezu Michijiro was handsome again.

As expected, the timeline seemed to be revised at the end of last year, with Tada Shun being transferred to the commander of the North China Front Army.

With the help of many parties behind the scenes, Umezu Yoshijiro also returned to serve as the commander of the Kwantung Army, responsible for its combat plan to the north.

After learning in detail about the battle between the locust army and the Eighth Route Army in North China, Meizu Michiro suddenly felt very familiar.

Isn’t this the method Zeng Jiwen used to encircle and annihilate the 108th Division?

So after reading the battle plan for the north by Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Kataoka Shichiro and Operations Staff Officer Goto Mitsuzo.

Umezu Mijiro suddenly had an idea and began to modify the two people's battle plan.

Hence the news that the troops in the north had suffered heavy losses.

Considering that the situation in the east is not optimistic, once the Kwantung Army and the little mustache reach an agreement, the north will be attacked from both sides.

At the same time, the situation in the Far East also exposed the problem that the combat effectiveness of the troops had plummeted after the great purge.

As the Kwantung Army and the North were facing each other with heavy troops, the man in the Mlin Palace remembered Zeng Jiwen who was still in Moscow at the time.

Since Zeng Jiwen's troops were able to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army in North China last year, arming the Eighth Route Army in North China would undoubtedly greatly ease the pressure in the Far East.
