Seizing Siberia (7th Update)
Chapter 113:Seizing Siberia (7th Update)
“Is there any new news from the First Division of Vladivostoke?”
Fan Yize gently beat the table, compared with the actions and plans of the three legions, he was most concerned about the action of the first division.
The Red Guards had three corps and four divisional units independent of the three major corps.
The First Division was the first combat unit established, and it also followed Fan Yize to the Dutch East Indies.
The soldiers of the 1st Division, each of whom are elites, many of whom are not inferior to professional special forces.
However, with the strength of an infantry division, there is no machine gun and no artillery, the pressure is not small to face the Japanese Third Army outside Vladivostoke.
Although the Third Army paid a heavy price in the process of attacking Vladivostoke, it has also been supplemented several times and still maintains more than 30,000 combat troops.
If there is no artillery support, if you want to stop the attack of the Japanese Third Army, it will have to pay a small price.
At present, there is no news of the First Fleet, and Fan Yize will inevitably be worried.
The First Fleet, as a fleet supporting the First Division, did not participate in the attack on the Japanese combined fleet, which had only one battleship and fewer than ten cruisers and destroyers combined, carried a large number of supply ships.
These supply ships not only loaded all the heavy weapons of the 1st Division, but also carried the equipment and soldiers of a complete artillery division.
With the Vladivostack garrison of the 1st Division and the artillery division, and the support of the First Fleet, it would be much easier to hold Vladivoston.
However, if the First Fleet does not provide fire support in time, or does not successfully send the heavy equipment and artillery division of the 1st Division to Shanghai Shangri-La, after occupying VladivostAmak, the situation will still be out of control.
In order to sneak into North Korea secretly and then arrive near Vladivostya, the 1st Division did not carry a machine gun, and only half of the rifle was carried, the rest were carrying pistols and other light weapons, and the ammunition was not enough.
This kind of firepower is not suitable for defense, and it is more suitable for guerrilla warfare.
Once the Japanese went crazy, the situation would be very dangerous, after all, at this time, Vladivostya has lost most of the fortress, only bare trenches, and there is no machine gun fire defense, the Japanese Third Army has hundreds of machine guns.
In contrast, the situation of the First Division is not optimistic, but Fan Yize also believes that the judgment of the situation and the overall command ability of the whole situation are not involved in the action of the First Division.
"Just received the latest news that the 1st Fleet has arrived in the Gulf of Amur and is ready to support the First Division at any time.However, due to the large number of torpedoes laid by the Russians, the fleet of transport fleets was unable to enter the Vladivostya port safely, and the heavy equipment of the First Division could not be delivered to the fort in time, and it is expected that it will take as soon as twelve hours before the initial mine clearance can be completed.”The steward reported to Fan Yize.
“Let the First Fleet not be in a hurry, and the clearance of mines must be done carefully.”Fan Yize thought and said.
The steward immediately gave the instruction to the 1st Fleet.
With the support of the First Fleet guns, the situation in Vladivostgar will not be out of control, as long as the mines are all cleared and the equipment is landed, the defense will become simple.
The Russian mines scattered throughout the port's Gulf entrance and the port's periphery are naturally unsatisying, and the danger of mines is enough to hurt the fearless first-class battleships, and it is not surprising to sink cruisers.
What's more, the ships that transport equipment and soldiers, once the exclusion is not clean, causing the ship to sink, it is not as fast as possible.
The arrival of the fleet, slow down a little bit, do a good job of safety, is the most important.
After all, examples of this abound in the history of war.
As long as the 1st Division can hold Vladivostoke, it will be very strong to support the Third Army's military operations in North Korea, and even delay more troops.
Moreover, the Red Guard Corps has the ability to attack Japanese forces in Korea from the rear, and also allows combat supplies to reach Siberia quickly.
Fan Yize did not want to face the Russian army next, still choose to send supplies from North Korea to the Siberian battlefield, which will greatly delay the efficiency of the army's operation.
As long as you control Vladivostoke, with the Russian-built railways here, a large number of supplies can be continuously disembarked and then transported to the Siberian plains.
And this is why Japan can not attack the area north of the Twin Cities, the supply line is too long, in the cold winter time is particularly long Siberia, a battle may even be prepared for half a year, and then because of the weather, postponed for a few months, and then start the battle, the result has been a year.
There is no hyperspace portal in this place, and the transportation of materials needs to start from Sasebo or Nagasaki, or from Busan, take the sea and land, transport to Vladivostya, and then support the Red Guard Corps in the farther region of Siberia through the Vladivostya port railway.
Therefore, controlling the strategic fortress of Vladivosteel is very important, and whether it is Japan or Russia to control the fortress, and then compete, it will inevitably pay a heavy casualty price.
However, the Russians will not react immediately, but it is likely to gather troops while making a lively approach to the previous Fan Yize's choice, first let the Red Police Corps and the Japanese play almost, in the build-up of forces, the recovery of Vladivostya.
After all, if the Russian army wants to assemble in the Far East, it takes a long time to prepare, and with logistical chaos, even if Russia wants to do something, it will not be possible in a short time.
In contrast, Fan Yize did not put Russia in the position of the main opponent, and in the short term, the main opponent of the Red Guard Corps will only be Japan.
By the time the Russians thought their armies were almost massed, I am afraid that at that time, the Red Guards Corps had destroyed the Japanese forces in Korea and Siberia.
Without the combined fleet of the Japanese army, it is far away from the land, and it does not have any domestic support.
And the most important point is that from now on, all Japan's foreign imports and exports will be locked up.
The Second Fleet and the Third Fleet will encircle Japan like an iron barrel and prohibit all materials from entering Japan, which is a long time, and Japan, a resource-poor island country, can support for how long.
Therefore, Fan Yize is also willing to give the Russians time to free the Red Police Corps and focus on fighting Japan.
But in the end, whether it is a strategic concept or a strategic forward-looking, the final victory and defeat must also be based on strength, otherwise the Red Guard Corps will face Japan and Russia at the same time.
