Winter War in Fin... I mean Manchukuo!!
Jan 4th, 1940
The drive into Manchukuo continues..!
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Back to the battlefield! Where we were? Oh, Mukden. We have reached the city!
Gen. Luvsan: Hah, the Japanese-Manchurian force could not dislodge us!
Jan 12th, 1940
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Oh gosh! New Japanese troop landings in Yingkou! Additional 4 divisions! That certainly spells trouble for our rear flank!
Gen. Luvsan: Oh no, they are attacking from all sides!
The valiant Mongolian armies were forced to retreat back to Jinxi in the face of overwhelming odds!
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): We have to return to Mukden with a larger force!
Feb 13th, 1940
And in the second advance into Mukden, this time the Mongolian army of more than 100,000 men strong and was unbeatable by Japanese.
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Good! We managed to hold the ground! But we have lost the element of surprise and Japanese reinforcement is everywhere around us already!
Gen. Luvsan: Crappy situation but we have to prevail somehow and push through in this bitter coldness!
Feb 15th, 1940
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Hey, I am the Chief of Army! How come I am still ranked a Lt. General?!
Luvsanshara (Head of Gov): Oh, we must have overlooked it! Ok, you’re a full General now. Hail, General Choybalsan!
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Wait, I have more than 100,000 men under my command and I believe I can function more effective if I am of even higher rank! A general could only command so many men… the fate of Manchukuo campaign depends on it.
Luvsanshara (Head of Gov): Well, if the army can fight better, I bestow upon you the rank of Field Marshall!!
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Yeehawww!! A 33% increase in prestige, a further 33% increase in army size I could command! I can finally kick butt! I am getting my back-pay from January for this double promotion, right? Muahahahaa!
Gen. Luvsan: $%#&$%^! more grumble #$#%$&^*
Feb 24th, 1940.
Lhumbe (Armaments): Mechanized Agriculture researched. We shall feed our army well. A satisfied tummy makes a effective soldier!
Holy Khan!!! Look at the nine military research teams we have from Mengkukuo! All trained by imperial Japanese forces! Their skill and unfortunately their pay are phenomenal compare to what Mongolia have!
Luvsanshara (Head of Gov): Get them working for us immediately!
Lhumbe (Armaments): Yes! Mengkukuo Colonial Company shall start reseraching Agrichemistry for us in the effort to boost our manpower! Now everyone will want to join the army to get a full stomach! Haha!
Luvsanshara (Head of Gov): Here are the blueprints from Soviets. It should assist us greatly!
Feb 28th, 1940
Nyambuu (New Intel Head): Field Marshall Choybalsan! More and more Soviet divisions are quietly leaving the Southern China front for Siberia in the face of Japanese onslaught!
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): This is the time we would have really needed General Chimid. With Chimid hospitalised in Ulan Bator, our Soviet alliance have begin to abandon our China cause.
Nyambuu (New Intel Head): On my estimation, probably 100,000-150,000 men has left leaving half the numbers that are slowly ceding lands to the Japanese.
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): We got to end the Manchurian campaign here fast and ride to the south!
Nyambuu (New Intel Head): Guilin has fallen and more shall follow!
The grim situation in the south warrants quick intervention soon! But the small Mongolia army can only be only one place at one time…
Mar 3rd, 1940
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): We gotta break this frozen stalemate.
Lhumbe (Armaments): Three new divisions enroute to Mukden from Ulan Bator from Soviet negotiation on Jan 24th and Feb 2nd.
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Can’t wait for their readiness as I got to start plotting a strategy and acting now! The defence at Harbin and Xinjing which are our objectives are too strong in this cold winter. But province of Andong is weak! We shall make some diversionary attacks there to draw out the defenders from the stronger positions!
The valiant Mongol army kept up with repeated attacks on Andong from end of Feb into March. As expected, the enemy send troops to Andong defence from adjacent provinces.
Mar 11th, 1940
Gen. Luvsan: It works! Xinjing garrison has been reduced!
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Time to breakout to the capital of Xinjing! The white horizon shall turn red from the blood of our enemies!
Xinjing defenders collapse in the face of newly minted Field Marshall Choybalsan, Mongolia’s latest weapon of victory. For the first time, up to 12 divisions could be commanded by a single man in a battle!
Mar 14th, 1940
Lt. Gen Tsendenbal: Whoahh! Japanese airstrikes at Dadu (Beijing)! But they aren't scratching my entrenched urban fighters! But it shows they have a magnetic attraction to this ancient city!
Mar 15th, 1940
Lhumbe (Armaments): We have found a way to bandage our wounded better as a result lower battle casualties and they can return back to the battlefield.
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Great, more fighting men, more victory!
Lhumbe (Armaments): Next on our sight is to work on Census Tabulating Machine to improve in research and intelligence network overall.
Mar 16th, 1940
WINTER WAR of the EAST has begun!!!
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Lt General Mindro. I have passed the baton of the commander of the reverend Mongol Keshik Korpus to you. You have the task to always capture any objectives assigned without fail as I have. Are you up to it?
Lt. Gen Mindro: I do and I am honored to be given the opportunity the lead the glorious calvary. We’ll ride out to Xinjing and capture with lightning speed through the snow blizzard!
Nyambuu (Intel): The Mongol army has been historically using winter as her ally! Ancient cities of Moscow and Kiev was taken during those times when the defenders are least prepared and when river froze to become a highway for our calvary!!
Mar 18th, 1940
Lt. Gen Mindro (Commander of Mongol Keshik Korpus): Xinjing is ours but the detachment from Harbin is going all out to take it back! We’ll hold on as long as we can!
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): An opportunity for a flanking attack against Harbin which otherwise we will not able to take them on! Charge!
Keshik Korpus was beaten back from Xinjing after holding on to their last blood. But all is not lost, this is part of the Mongolian tactic.
Barely two days later on March 20th, the Mongol 6th People’s Korpus led by Lt. Gen Demchegdongrov arrives in Xinjing and the Harbin army continues to assault Xinjing to take it back. FM Choybalsan is obviously just waiting for the moment.
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Our last chance to defeat the Harbin defender! Or should I say attackers since they are assaulting Xinjing.
Devastating flanking attack by Choybalsan practically removes all defensive bonuses conferred by the frozen weather to the Harbin garrison.
By March 21st, the 50,000 defenders of Harbin call it quits and flee to the mountains north west. The future of Manchukuo is surely sealed without saying.
Mar 26th, 1940
In faraway Europe, Hitler war machine continues his rampage...
Luvsanshara (Head of Gov): Hitler is never satisfied, he going after nation after nation.
Amar (Head of State): No different from our ambition isn’t?
Luvsanshara (Head of Gov): You’re goddamn right, hahhaHAHAHAA! :rofl:
Mar 30th, 1940
Nyambuu (New Intel Head): Warning! Japanese amphibious attacks again at Tianjin threatening Dadu (Beijing) again! The two recuperating Soviets divisions were taken off-guard and beaten back.
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): I can only handle them once I am done with Manchukuo!
April 1st, 1940
The hooves of Mongol calvary pounded on the grounds of Harbin signaling the end of the Manchu reign and beginning of the restoration of Mongol rule once more. The battleground of Harbin is strewn with dead Japanese and their Manchurian collaborators.
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): Manchus, be part of the glorious Mongol Khan empire again. I know you want to be! Be our brothers and resist the Japanese! I hereby proclaim the annexation of the nation of Manchukuo!
News were relayed to Ulan Bator...
Luvsanshara (Head of Gov): Manchuria is ours? Hey, don’t joke over such a biggie news. I know it is April 1st today. Don’t pull an April Fool day on me! Last I heard our army is spading snow to clear some pathway.
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): ^@$%^@%#!!
I can send you Emperor of Manchukuo Pu-Yi to you if it takes that for you to believe!!
Luvsanshara (Head of Gov): Gosh, you’re brilliant! You really did it!
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): What else do you expect? We have the Mongol army! KhaaaAAANNNN!!!
Dagva (Minister of Security/Chief of Army): What should we do with this pretty emperor, Mr Pu-Yi?
Choybalsan (Chief of Army): He has been dancing around with the Japanese for too long, to the dungeons for him! Get him to sew the torn uniform of our army while he is at it.
He is already lucky enough I chose not to impale him. Fortunately we did not take heavy losses in Manchuria else I would have done just that!
Pu-Yi, from the last Emperor of China is reduced to the Emperor of Manchukuo. And now none. An emperor who lost it all. Such pity!
