Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 252 >

“American kids are now fighting in four places at the same time.”

Chuikov tapped the map.

“Iwo Jima and the Philippines are getting rid of the remnants of the remnants, Taiwan is fighting on a large scale, and Okinawa is just landing.”

As expected, when Okinawa was threatened, the Japanese navy raked up even the last ship and set off for a sortie.

And all of the last warships of the Axis Powers have now moved their addresses to Yonggung. It was good to see that there were no warships or planes left in Japan now.

On the other hand, the Imperial Russian Army had nowhere else to fight except on the Chinese front, and the Chinese front had nothing to do with Japan, which had a pathetic combat power that was literally pushed back.

Rather, the installation of supply lines and the supply of the Far East forces to be deployed in the Japanese vacuum were more important.

“It would be nice if the Trans-Siberian Railway could go all the way to Busan.”

“Now, the Engineers are laying some sections, but to make it properly, we need the government’s cooperation.”

“It was pretty noisy right now.”

“We just need to provide the food. Whether or not land reform is done or not is not for us to know.”

The problem was, administrative support and financial support were needed for land reform. And the new South Korean government lacked the capacity to do that.

Just looking at the current state of the Korean military proved that.

The ROK Army is currently using the standard rifles, such as the Fyodorov automatic rifle that the Russian Empire’s Interior Army kept in a warehouse, the LAD machine gun that the Russian Army is slowly culling, and the 57mm gun of the same caliber captured by the Russian Army in Manchuria. It was using a version replaced with an anti-tank gun.

There is no such thing as AKM, RPG, or T-32-100, which are Russian military equipment. Of course, in the first place, the T-32-100 is the latest equipment used only by the Russian military, so it is strange to give it.

Navy? none. air Force? none. officer? non-commissioned officer? In fact, the Russian military is bridging the gap.

It’s only then that I can’t tell if it’s the Russian Foreign Legion or the Korean Army. The officers are Russian, the noncommissioned officers are Russians, and only the recruits are Korean, so it is an added bonus that the noncommissioned officers and the enlisted officers and the officers and the enlisted members do not communicate with each other.

Since it is the only armed forces group directly under the Korean government, it has been in charge of defense and security since the Russian military officially withdrew the military police force.

In addition, it was a situation in which general administration had to be helped by the military, so I did not know whether there was a state and an army, or an army and a state.

“Well, it doesn’t really matter to us.”

Their goal was to advance to China, so it was not for them to know how Chosun or, no, the Republic of Korea handled internal affairs.

“How long have you been considering the operation to occupy Qingdao?”

“U.S. military support is essential to occupying a port city, but the U.S. Navy is always buzzing. They say they’re sending troops to Okinawa, but it’s clear they don’t want to just let our troops go south.”

“Tsuk, the allies are real.”

World peace is blazing blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah de by will by the world peace.

“The supply lines are too long to just advance. It is too far to just transport supplies to Tianjin through Dalian Port.”

The straight-line distance from Tianjin to Qingdao is approximately 400 kilometers. It was a burdensome distance for Chuikov, who was planning to advance to Nanjing.

“If they had fought well, it would have been several times more comfortable.”

“Well, what if you can’t fight?”

The Russian military gave a common assessment of the US Army.

Those bastards are sick

Frankly, the Kremlin’s decision to give up southern China to such bastards was incomprehensible. The navy is strong, but isn’t the U.S. Army a bastard? Why should we give up southern China, where it is not an island, or what seaway or difficult-to-access area?

Even if there was a war with the United States, Russia would suffer a little, but I never thought that it would lose. To put it bluntly, it was a battle between a knight wearing armor and a dragon.

The dragon has the regenerative power to break all the spears in reverse even if it is stabbed by the knight’s spear.

Well, I can’t openly express this opinion. Anyway, it’s not their master’s decision.

The governor has made a decision, and it must be followed. That was it.

“Still, shouldn’t we occupy the northern part of the Yangtze River?”

“Of course it is.”

Still, in the southern part of China, north of the Yangtze River, it can be said that it is their share.

“Even if the U.S. Navy does not cooperate, we will continue to attack Qingdao. And beware of rear disturbance.”

redheads.

It was the same in China as the rednecks were moving around. The Russian army also valued the suppression of the Communist Party, even if it left the Japanese army alone.

“If you like it, you want to go all the way to Wuhan and hang that Mao Zedong bastard, but what the hell happened to the heads of Americans?”

Hearing what the Americans were saying, Mao Zedong seemed like some kind of clean and fresh hope for China. Of course, for the Russian army, knowing that the Communist Party did not fight the Japanese army, but cluttered the rear of the Russian army fighting the Japanese army, it was just shocking.

What’s in the replacement head?

“They look like they need to be stabbed in the back of the head to come to their senses, so I don’t know if they’re saying that they’re offering everything south of the Yangtze River to that Mao Zedong or something like that.”

Anyway, he didn’t like Americans from the start.

“To say goodbye to Seokjojeon, our military will move its headquarters to Beijing next month. Let’s carry out the operation to take over the East Sea as scheduled.”

“All right.”

The moment the US forces land on Okinawa, the Russian army will also take over the islands of the East Sea one by one, starting with Tsushima.

And if the Japanese forces in China are annihilated and attacked on the Japanese mainland, the war is over.

“Ah, and… Adjutant, what happened to that particular order from Moscow?”

“Has confirmed. The arrest and execution orders for that Kim Il-sung, or the self-proclaimed Kim Seong-ju, his family, and the entire organization.”

“okay. I don’t know what happened to make you look so hateful to your Majesty.”

Since it was an order that seemed a little out of the way, Moscow asked to confirm whether the order had been misunderstood, but it was even confirmed that it was a direct order from the Kremlin.

Thanks to this, Ohrana and the Russian military government had to work hard to find a person who suddenly knew who Kim Il-sung was, with the cooperation of the South Korean government. As a human being who is not well known, it was a bit out of the way even at the level of the Korean government, but in any case, there was some information about such a human being in Northeast Myeon.

And there was no such thing as an information war that had been unfolding for several months. It was revealed a step later that Kim Il-sung was serving as a member of the Russian army while claiming to be the head of the local anti-Japanese guerrillas, not elsewhere. Even that was known when it was discovered that he was trying to transfer troops to the South Korean army while he was working on the paperwork.

“I’m going to get them all soon. There was a report saying that the local regiment commander ordered all the guerrillas together with their families for a party within a few days, and put them all in, and the division prepared to mobilize the military police to capture them all.”

“Yeah, I guess I’ll just have to see how it goes. But how the hell did His Majesty know what he was doing, and why did he tell him to kill him? It’s just the head of an organization with only a few dozen people.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be an enemy of your parents?”

“What nonsense, you have to be very old to do that. He is 19 years younger than His Majesty, and when he was born, His Majesty had already been given the count.”

“Otherwise, the order to kill the entire family…”

“I don’t know English either, but wouldn’t that mean I wouldn’t obey orders?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Don’t worry about how to catch him and kill him. At first, I thought about throwing the bullets at the Japanese army, but then the post-processing is a bit messy.”

“All right.”

***

Okinawa. Japanese Empire.

-Tata ta ta ta ta tata!

“file! Vans! Throw smoke grenades!”

“Throwing smoke grenades!”

After a while, white smoke spread and a smoke screen was spread over the machine gun seat.

“Tenno Heika Banzaii!”

-bang! Tang Tang!

American semi-automatic rifles fired fiercely and grenades exploded.

The petals of the violets were soaked with blood, and the flames flew out of their tongues even in the strong winds and rains.

“f*ck! Those guys in the bunker…”

“Vance! Get down!”

– Kwaang! Quang!

The Japanese army fires concentrated artillery fire, and machine guns fly in from all directions. The Americans also generously provided flamethrowers and tear gas to the Japanese soldiers who were protesting in the caves.

The Japanese resistance was intense, but not enough to stop the Americans.

“Damn it, Locke! Is it wireless? Call the company, Izzy!”

“All right! Easy Company! Easy Company, Dog Company! Can you hear me?”

– Chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi…

“f*ck, no answer.”

At that moment, an explosion began to be heard from the sky.

“Aviation!”

“Blow those heads off!”

Some soldiers cheered, waving their fists. Not disappointing their expectations, the attack planes of the air corps threw fire at the Japanese forces on the ground, and in an instant, the firepower of the Japanese forces plummeted.

“Show those bastards what a real charge is! Dog Company, Charge!”

U.S. troops equipped with submachine guns rushed forward in unison. The Japanese army, whose machine gun seat and battery were all smashed, and most of its personnel turned into casualties, failed to stop the American assault, and suffered horribly smashed and defeated, such as being beaten by butts, beehives by submachine guns, or stabbed to death by bayonet.

“clear!”

“clear!”

“Stop shooting! Rest until the Easy Company arrives.”

The soldiers, tired of the company commander’s words, sat down for a moment.

“Lieutenant, don’t they say that the 82nd Division went to Taiwan?”

“It did.”

“Are they lucky or are we lucky?”

“Isn’t Taiwan hotter?”

“Is there a mountain in that town?”

“I heard about Iwo Jima, the smaller the island, the tougher it is to fight, aren’t they?”

“If the island is bigger, aren’t there more jabs?”

“If the island is big, it’s easier to land and the tanks are easy to move, so wouldn’t it be easier to catch the Japs?”

“Children, our paratroopers. What kind of tanks do the paratroopers have?”

“Stop, who is coming.”

The lieutenant got up and shouted.

“flash!”

“……”

“flash! If there is no answer, I will fire!”

“Thunder!”

“My friend, who are you?”

“506 Parachute Regiment, easy company!”

“This is Dog Company! Damn, I was waiting for something to fall.”

“How is the situation?”

“There were no casualties, but the ammunition was almost depleted. I would like to share some with you.”

“Hubler, check how much ammo you have left. Report to Major Winters that you have joined the Dog Company.”

“All right.”
