The entire Vladivostok was trembling with the roar of the artillery artillery in the Qing army fleet. The two fleets commanded by Liu Buchan and Yang Yonglin sprinkled the rain of death on the coastline of Vladivostok and the remaining combat ships. The Navy's plan was to first clear the firepower points that could pose a threat to themselves, and then use the power of the warship's secondary guns to cover the entire Vladivostok base and support the army's operations.

Sa Zhenbing looked at the smoke rising from the shore-based fortress in the distance and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Liu Buchan asked.

"Sir, I think our firepower is a bit wasteful. Three main battleships attack a turret. The smoke caused by dense artillery will affect our own viewing, and the Russian army's counterattack firepower is relatively weak. I suggest changing the combat method, one light, one heavy, one heavy, and one set of two warships, and attacking a target together, so that the attack efficiency will be greatly improved."

Liu Buchan looked away, "You are right, just do that."

The naval guns of the Qing army fleet continued to bombard the Russian fortress with the help of air balloons. Except for a small number of 10-inch guns, the other caliber artillery was basically of no use to these giant beasts. The number of 10-inch guns was a minority after all. Under the focus of the Qing army's main battleship, these firepower points were quickly destroyed one by one. Then, the Qing army fleet began to approach the coast.

This is an unfair battle.

The Russian army deployed more than 160 artillery pieces of artillery of various caliber at the Vladivostok base. In addition, the Pacific Fleet, which was originally the No. 1 in the Far East, was really solid. However, the Pacific Fleet magically wiped out the entire Ma Strait, and the Russian army suddenly lost 80% of its main ships and half of its artillery. Their opponent, the Qinglong Flagship Fleet, had more than 120 artillery pieces of artillery of more than 6 inches in just six battleships. As for artillery of 75mm and smaller caliber, the entire fleet had more than 300.

After losing the Pacific Fleet, it was impossible for the Russian army to defend Vladivostok. It was like another time and space, without the support and restraint of the fleet, whether it was Weihaiwei or Lushun Fortress, it was just a rib on the chopping board, and it was nothing more than how many knives were to be cut.

When the Navy began shelling the harbor base, the land attack also began.

On the periphery of Vladivostok, the Guards gathered the main forces of the 13th, 129th, 130th and 1344th divisions, and there were three servant divisions of the Second, 4th and 19th Division of the Kyushu Self-Defense Force. The total number was more than 70,000.

The main force of the Russian First Army was responsible for the defense. After the second replenishment, the troops were more than 50,000.

At five o'clock in the morning on July 1, two divisions of the Korean People's Army began to attack Erdaogou. At the same time, the First Division of the Kyushu Self-Defense Force cooperated with the 13th and 130th Divisions to attack Xiamatang.

Xiamatang - called Artem, Russia, is the last line of defense in the north of Vladivostok, only about 120 kilometers away from Vladivostok, and there is a railway line connecting the middle. Therefore, the Russian First Army placed three divisions here, attempting to organize the guards to go south.

The Russian army dug a large number of trenches in advance and built simple fortifications with trees and houses to block the main force of the Chinese Army.

The house structure of Xiamatang is mostly made of wooden brick and tile structures. Because the construction of the Vladivostok fortress requires a large amount of concrete. Although it is the core of the outer periphery of the defense circle, Xiamatang does not build concrete fortifications. After all, it is too far from the center of Russia, and there is very little concrete. Even Vladivostok has built a half-ticket, let alone Xiamatang.

What they had to face was the two main divisions of the Guards who received support from 12 105mm heavy artillery pieces.

At the beginning of the battle, the Guards took advantage of their firepower. Hundreds of 75mm rapid-fire guns turned the outer positions of the Second Army into a sea of ​​fire in five minutes. The losses caused by two thousand bullet rains per minute to the Russian army, which were not fully prepared, cannot be described as "hard". This density of artillery bombardment has exceeded the Russian army's perception of artillery. After a brigade of the frontier troops suffered the first wave of "steel storm", there was almost no residue left.

In the telescope, Lieutenant General Subaokic, the commander of the Second Army, grew up with his mouth in horror. For a moment, the telescope in his hand fell to the ground and did not react. He even believed that the Chinese army in front of him had more artillery than the total artillery possessed by the entire Russian Far East Army!

"Sir, we must break through!" said Major General Tecli, Chief of Staff. "From the enemy's attack in the morning, the opponent's individual quality is not inferior to us at all, and they also have the advantage of light firepower that we do not have. Whether it is grenades, machine guns or small-caliber rapid-fire cannons, it is a great threat to us. And it can be imagined that in such a small city, even if the enemy does not attack, we only need to use artillery to flatten us."

Subaokic said in annoyance: "I don't know these. But don't forget that the Qing army had a division of troops from Shenkotovo to our back. Here we have fortifications to rely on. If we leave here, we will be the lambs to be slaughtered in the wilderness!"

"Sir!" The Chief of Staff still hoped to convince Subaokic: "It is precisely because of this that we have to break through. Otherwise, when the Qing army encircled from Shenkotovo and Tafrichangka, we even wanted to break through and had nowhere to go. Although we could rely on fortifications in the city, our simple fortifications could not defend against the enemy's heavy artillery at all. Although it seemed that there was less defense from here, the enemy could no longer use heavy artillery to support it when pursuing. Without the suppression of artillery fire, our hope for survival would inevitably increase greatly."

While the main commander of the Russian army was arguing over whether to abandon Xiamatang, the First Division of the Jiuzhou Self-Defense Force was advancing westward. The combat goal given to this division was very simple. After breaking through the Russian eastern defense line, he seized the railway before noon on the 10th at the fastest speed to prevent the main force of the Russian First Army from withdrawing back to Vladivostok.

Tiezhong looked at the pocket watch in his hand and kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Tiezhong was a white flag. He graduated from the third phase of the Beijing Military Preparation School and participated in the Jiuzhou Landing Campaign and the Philippines in the 19th year of the Guangxu period. He was originally affiliated with Huang Chengyong's 1st Landing Division. Later, Jiuzhou expanded its army, and Tiezhong was promoted to colonel for his military achievements and acted as the commander of the First Division of the Jiuzhou Self-Defense Force.

As for whether the agent can be taken off, it depends on whether the battle can be successful. So in order to increase the speed of the march, Tiezhong abandoned all heavy equipment and the entire army marched with light equipment!

Lao Jie is already forty years old. Although he has been participating in training over the years, the years are unforgiving. In addition, the Gentleman is a hero's tomb, Yui's strong demand - you know - also makes him feel more and more tired. Now, such a continuous marching has reached the limit of this half-grown old man. He didn't know how he persisted in the last twenty kilometers.

At 3:00 p.m. on June 9, the First Division of the Kyushu Self-Defense Force finally arrived at Trudovoye. Seeing the intact rails, Tiezhong breathed a sigh of relief.

When Subaokic discussed the retreat with his staff, he did not know that 20,000 elite soldiers had been placed in front of him, and the railway passage behind him had been completely strangled to death.

On June 10, the Qing army began to attack the city. Without any surprise, the Russian Second Army suffered another cover-type attack from Qing artillery fire. Faced with the absolute advantage of Qing artillery fire, a large number of Russian soldiers were killed in their fortifications. At this time, Subaokic was already aware that he had no illusions about defending the toad pond.

The Qing Dynasty Dragon Flagship's bombardment of the Vladivostok Harbor Base was also carried out the next day. In the previous day, the Dragon Flagship basically cleared the large-caliber artillery artillery turret of the Russian military's shore base and basically cleaned up the remaining Russian warships in the harbor. As Vizofort had expected before, after losing 80% of the main battleship, the Far East Fleet faced the Dragon Flagship, which was several times stronger than its own, and had no hope of winning or even the courage to continue fighting.

Yes, after the final struggle, Vizoft chose to surrender. It is not surprising that the Russian Navy was not brainwashed by Bushido. They did not think it was a glorious thing to die in the battlefield. On the contrary, in their values, it was natural to surrender under such circumstances - the strength of the two armies was extremely different, and they tried to break through or fight back.

After solving the last obstacle, the Qing army fleet began to use small caliber naval gun group to "wash the city".

The main force of the Russian Second Army, who broke out in the direction of Vladivostok, encountered the first division of the Kyushu Self-Defense Force, which was waiting for the battle shortly after leaving the city. After a night of buffering, Tiezhong had already directed his men to establish a simple defense line composed of blockade trenches and barbed wire. Due to time and tools, they only had so much to do.

"Five hours! Soldiers, our mission is to keep here for five hours! Our reinforcements are already on the way to arrive. Two North Korean divisions have broken through Tafrichangka, which is less than 40 kilometers away. And behind this Russian army, the main force of the Guards is pursuing. Young men, you can become heroes in just five hours!"

Lao Jie didn't listen to the mobilization of his superiors at all. He had been in the army for twenty years, so he naturally knew that heroes and sacrifices were equated. His purpose was not to get promoted and make money, but to go back alive. In Kyushu, Yui was still waiting for him, and his second child with Yui was only three years old. If he died, although he would not have to worry about food and drink, Yui would definitely not be able to take care of the four children alone.

Lao Jie doesn't want another naughty boy to spend his money, hit his own boy, and fuck his own wife.

But the prerequisite for survival is to win. Losers have no chance to survive, this is the law of nature.

"This guy is simply a killer weapon against the charge infantry. Unfortunately, the only disadvantage is that it consumes too much ammunition!" The deputy battalion commander looked at the Maxim whom Lao Xie Qiu's grandfather invited, and smacked his lips and said, "For such a thing, I have to spread the task of front-line defense. Can I get it?"

Lao Jie laughed like a fox who stole a chicken. "Do you know why the Russians have to live with us?"

The deputy battalion commander said: "In order to escape back to Vladivostok, have you issued a combat notice long ago? Our army's mission is to block the main force of the Russian Second Army that fled to Vladivostok. That's right, the notice said."

Lao Jie said: "That's right. Then you think, since they are running away, how many cannons and shells can they bring?"

The deputy battalion commander thought for a while, "It's probably no chance. If the Russian army can have the opportunity to take away a large amount of artillery and ammunition, then the two divisions in the north will not be guards, but green camps."

Lao Jie said: "You understand now. This thing..." Lao Jie patted Maxim: "This thing is only a cannon that threatens him, and the Russian army does not have artillery, which means there is no firepower that can threaten this thing. But with it, it is equivalent to having a safety deposit behind us. Let the Russians stop eating from us!"

The deputy battalion commander suddenly realized: "Oh, you're making this idea. But, in this way, we have to be deployed on the front line, and we still have to take a lot of risks..."

Lao Jie said with a grudge: "You are a pig. I ask you, how many people are there in the Russian Second Army? How many people are there in our division? What is the width of the defensive position?"

The deputy battalion commander thought for a while: "Our division has more than 14,000 people, and the defensive position is mainly a three-kilometer-wide plain on the front. The division places four regiments here. One regiment is responsible for defending the mountains to the east, and another regiment is used as a reserve. As for the number of Russian troops, have we not received relevant information yet?"

Lao Jie knocked the deputy battalion commander on the head: "If you were the deputy battalion commander, you would be stupid like Mu Yu. Didn't the information be given to you a long time ago?"

The deputy battalion commander rubbed his head unconvincedly: "How could he give it to me?"

"The notification of the division conveying combat missions is not clearly written clearly? The main force of the Russian First Army. Think about it, a Russian army has five infantry divisions, how many people can a main force of a military force?"

The deputy battalion commander thought: "Damn, that's just sixty or seventy thousand people?"

Lao Jie said: "This army has fought several battles with us before, and one-third of them will die. I guess there will be more than 40,000 people, but if it is not a good deal, it will be 50,000. You think, each battalion can only be responsible for the size of each battalion that is three kilometers long and one kilometer deep. Facing three or even four times the enemy, how can our twelve battalions be divided into first and second lines. When the fight is really done, the pressure will definitely be the same."

The deputy battalion commander then realized: "But we heard of Maxim. At least when facing the enemy's intensive charge, there is no need to worry about the rifle. The light machine gun is insufficient firepower."

Lao Jie nodded and smiled, "That's it, but you have to show me this treasure. This thing is 600 bullets per minute, and we only have 20,000 bullets in total, and it will last for five hours. You are not allowed to waste it until the critical moment. I will go home and hold my son, but point it at it!"

The deputy battalion commander grinned and said, "Don't worry, you're there."
Chapter completed!
