Chapter 99:Precarious Vladivostok

Back in time, just as the Russo-Marritic War broke out, the battle for Vladivostya was also resumed.

After the Battle of the Twin Cities, the victorious Japanese Army made its final attack on Vladivostya after a simple rest.

The Japanese army, which controlled the 356th high ground, had commanding heights and was able to calibrate artillery and attack the main defensive bunker in the fort.

Under the attack of the Japanese siege guns, for three days, Russia lost almost all the main defensive fortress, and a large number of machine gun fire points were also removed, leaving the trench defenses in Vladivostya.

Three thousand Russian soldiers, who continued to insist on the fire, were convinced that the navy would come to save Vladivostya and kill all the damned Japanese.

But no one knows if they can really insist on reaching Vladivostavance.

In contrast, the Japanese Third Army, did not rush to send soldiers to attack, very patient with artillery to clear the defenses in Vladivostya, for three consecutive days, no Japanese soldiers appeared in front of the Russian soldiers.

But that is why all the Russian soldiers are getting heavier inside.

By this time, the remnants of the Russian soldiers, there was not much morale, and the bunkers had been blown up, and the breath of surrender was filled in the trenches.

Xu Yan afternoon with a complete set of infantry divisions, after a few months of preparation, but also quietly concentrated in the back of the Vladivostya battlefield.

Less than 20 kilometers from the artillery position of the Japanese Third Army, it was hidden in the woods and quietly waiting for the opportunity to arrive.

In this forest in the eastern part of Vladivostao, a cave was excavated as the headquarters of Xusheng Noon.

Within the headquarters, a simulated sandbox in Vladivostoku was built, and with the artillery of the Japanese Third Army in the past few days, the signs of the bunker were pulled up in the fortress of Vladivostria on the sandbox.

Now, there are fewer than ten bunkers left on the sandpan, and it is estimated that in two days, the ten bunkers will be destroyed.

This made Xu talk afternoon inevitable a slight hurry, from the command center came the news, the fleet has not yet set off the signs.

And beside him, there was only one infantry division's combat unit, no heavy weapons such as artillery, the most powerful firepower, and just a machine gun.

If there is no news tonight, Xu Jingzhong only ventured to send troops at noon, take advantage of the night, take the 356 high ground, and directly capture the Vladivostya fortress, and then directly face the Japanese Third Army.

As long as the fleet can persist until the Japanese joint fleet can be eliminated, and the North Shanghai Sengshan, then the Japanese will not be able to capture Vladivostya.

The defense of the Vladivostya fortress is based on three points, and the outer port is blocked by lightning, which can block the attacking enemy, and the fleet can directly support the fortress in the port.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to attack Vladivostya, you will face the firepower in the Vladivostya Fortress and the heavy artillery of warships.

Therefore, the Russians never worried that the Vladivostya fortress would be captured, until World War I and World War II, after the Air Force appeared on the battlefield, the Vladivostgar fortress really became the first fortress in the Far East.

At this time, the Vladivostgar Fortress, the defense ability is not too strong, after 1912, the defense is called strong, at that time even if it is 300,000 Japanese army, even if Vladivostoke does not have naval support, want to attack, it is extremely difficult.

Now the Vladivostgar is already in the wind and rain, without the support of naval guns, the commanding heights are captured, and the fortress is uprooted one by one, and it will be broken at any time.

And seeing that it is difficult for the Russians to continue to insist, Xu Yan Noon also had to make a decision to see the situation in these two days, the capture of Vladivostya.

Wait for the Navy to come over, kill the Japanese artillery positions, and then hold Vladivostas.

Just this is very risky, although Xu Jingxiang is very confident in his soldiers, he can wait until the fleet comes, but he knows better than anyone, in the absence of artillery suppression, in the face of the Japanese Third Army and 30,000 troops, even if you can persist, you will pay a lot of casualties.

But once it is time, it is easier than fighting for this fortress from the Japanese.

In the midst of the Xu speech noon, the night fell, and the artillery of the Japanese Third Army began to rest.

The shelling during the day is only intermittent, there is no intensity and density, and the Japanese side does not actually have the intention to attack Vladivostya.

Everything must be expected to come to the news of the joint fleet before making a decision.

However, for the Russian defenders in the fortress, the pressure must not be relaxed, perhaps the Russians in the fortress will surrender in the next second.

Therefore, in addition to maintaining a certain artillery strike, the Japanese Third Army only camped in the fortress, and even did not have the intention of encircling the fortress, far away from the station, and the Russian soldiers inside could run out, whether it was escape or surrender.

However, the Japanese Third Army did not know that on this night, Xu Xu received the news that he had been waiting for for a long time.

The fleet moved, and soon the news of the operation of the three fleets came incessantly.

By the next morning, the day had just lit up, and the first time he woke up, he received the news that the Japanese joint fleet had been completely destroyed, and the First Fleet had come to Vladivostya.

And last night, when the fleet was at war with the Japanese joint fleet, a demining formation from the hyperspace portal had already come towards Vladivostya.

General Xu smiled, looked at the sandbox in front of him, and gave orders to assemble troops.

It is expected that in a few hours, the mine clearance will reach Vladivostao and begin to sweep the mines in the outer waters.

However, it does not matter if the mines are not removed, because the fleet can also shell Japanese artillery positions outside the Vladivostya Fortress from the Amur Gulf.

Vladivoston Fortress is located in the southernmost point of the Amur Peninsula, the entire peninsula is basically northeast-southwest, the southwest is sharp and narrow, the east and west faces the sea, the east side is near Peter the Great Bay of Golden Horn, the west is adjacent to the Gulf of Amur and Sports Bay, to the south is near Peter the Great Bay and opposite Russia Island.

The inner ports of the Vladivostya Fortress, Peter the Great Bay and Golden Horn, are currently under Israelitery by the First Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy.

Because of the hilly connection, the fortress is not worried about the shelling of warships from the Amur Bay to the fort, but in front of the fortress, it is a straight road.

As long as the warship is close to the shoreline from the edge of the fortress, it can cover the area with fire.

This is why the Vladivostgar Fortress is not actually built on the edge of the bay, the existence of the Vladivoston Fortress, that is, to prevent the enemy from attacking from the direction of the Gulf of Amur, but also in the big rear of Peter the Great Bay.
