Chapter 484 Breakthrough
() While Shi Dong was fighting with the Russian army, the main force of the assault regiment led by Zhang Wenxuan penetrated diagonally from the southeast into the Russian fortification group on the northern line of Vladivostok. The first line of defense had been riddled with holes.
The Russian troops who retreated from the first line of defense regrouped on the second line of defense and
In conjunction with the second line of defense, if the Russian army can complete its reorganization, the Russian army that has completed its reduction in strength will definitely be able to rely on the second line of defense for another 2 to 3 days, but a regiment suddenly appears from the rear.
However, the military strength made the Russian army's final reorganization plan come to nothing.
When five red flares rose into the sky, the already heated battlefield completely erupted at this moment! "If the entire Vladivostok siege is compared to an opera, then when Mr. Zhang Wenxuan arrived at the designated position,
And when the signal flare heralding the start of the decisive battle was fired, the whole performance entered a climax. At this moment, the earth and the ocean were at the same time.
Shivering, I was lucky enough to sit on a balloon and overlook the entire battlefield from a high place. Balls of fireballs and smoke rose into the sky on the ground and sea. Standing from my position, you can see black dots quickly moving towards the Russian army.
The position flew away, and then a series of explosions shook the entire front." A German military officer who was lucky enough to be on the hot air balloon wrote this in his later memoirs.
.
With the gradually extending artillery bombardment, the Beiyang Army on the northern front launched its final offensive. The first wave of four regiments attacked the Russian army's last line of defense in echelons. Thousands of Beiyang Army soldiers stepped through the ruins.
The breakthrough point rushed towards the last enemy, and the impact like a flood kept beating the last line of defense of the Russian army. At this time, a small assault regiment that was pressed against the back of the Russian army also began to attack the defense from behind.
The empty rear of the Russian army... .
When Zhang Wenxuan's assault regiment rushed into the Russian army that had just been pulled from the front line and was tortured by fatigue, hunger, thirst and fear, the Russian army, whose patience had reached its limit, completely collapsed. These already defeated Russian troops quickly transformed into a defeated army.
, they no longer obey orders from their superiors, are no longer subject to discipline and
Bound by glory, they are now just a group of people running for their lives. They can't tell the road, they only know to escape in a direction as far away from each other as possible, and some soldiers even gave up escaping, but threw aside the rifles in their hands. Then
Give your life to the other person.
Faced with these defeated troops, Zhang Wenxuan only detached a company of troops to take care of them. The remaining main troops rushed towards the entrances of the Russian fortifications and bunkers. After knocking open the doors with explosives or hammers, they were often followed by a barrage of grenades and
Tear gas. Then a group of soldiers wearing gas masks rushed in and began to clear out the remaining soldiers inside one by one, and for those du
At the support point of li, the assault regiment that lacks the ability to attack difficult targets uses signal flares or other methods to inform the heavy artillery unit or the following 75mm camp artillery unit of the opponent's position.
Under the blow like water, the Russian defense line on the northern front completely collapsed. At first, one or two supporting points were crushed by powerful attacks. Then the entire front faltered, and finally it was completely riddled with holes.
, the few remaining Russian troops were isolated in several supporting points, like a small boat that could be swallowed by a violent storm at any time.
The complete breakthrough on the northern front caused the Russian army guarding Vladivostok to lose its most important barrier and most powerful regiment. The remaining Russian army was either pinned down on the southern front, or was fighting with the Beiyang Army in the city. In other words, as of now,
The Russian army has been unable to regroup its forces, and the remaining skirmishers will only be eaten up in the face of the Beiyang offensive. The only difference is whether sooner or later.
"General. The northern front has been broken through. Our remaining heavy military groups have either been pinned down on the southern front. Or they have been split up and thrown into street fighting. Facing the swarming enemy troops, we have no chance now. Vladivostok
The fall of Russia is only a matter of time." In the underground command post of the Russian army, a staff officer handed a newly received intelligence to the commander of the Vladivostok garrison, General Bildlinger.
"How many troops do we have on hand now?" General Bildlinger said slowly.
"The mobile strength is probably only 3,000 people. It is less than the establishment of three regiments." The adjutant made an estimate and said.
"Okay, let them hold on a little longer. We now need to make a declaration of surrender early, and we also need to prepare for the questions we may face in the military court in the future." Bildringer said weakly. The fall is no longer possible.
Avoid it, but at least look good in terms of face. This is not only related to the face of the Russian Army, but also related to your own future. If you can say that you are defeated in a powerful battle, you may be able to escape the sanctions of the military court.
"All warehouses must be burned. Whether they are grain or ordnance, it is best to make them lost due to fires caused by being hit by large-caliber naval guns." Bildringer issued the first order.
"All remaining artillery and key points of the fortress facilities must be blasted or demolished. We cannot leave the fortresses we have worked so hard to build to Beiyang." General Bildlinger issued the second order.
"Your Excellency General, we still need to keep some food. After all, in addition to soldiers, there are also a large number of civilians. They need to live. These are the subjects of His Majesty the Tsar. We cannot use the same methods used in Hokkaido on our own people!"
The general said somewhat unbearably.
"Leave the problem of feeding tens of thousands of people to Beiyang. Beiyang is different from Japan." Biedlinger said with some helplessness. "We also need to prepare a testimony. We need to summarize the offensive forces and equipment of the Beiyang Army.
, and then prepare for the confrontation in court later.
In this way, the Russians have actually given up their last resistance. They are making final preparations, not to fight but to surrender. A large amount of manpower is being used to dismantle equipment and blast. The number of troops responsible for frontal resistance is even more insufficient, resulting in the failure of the Beiyang offensive.
The speed was faster. Many warehouses and facilities fell into the hands of the Beiyang Army before they could be destroyed. And the Russian general only announced his surrender when Beiyang rushed to the door of his command post.
Accompanied by the flag symbolizing the Tsar from the city of Vladivostok
The flagpole of Fu fluttered down. Everyone knew that in this land, it was the beginning of a new era. Vladivostok, after 40 years of absence, was finally re-incorporated into the territory of China, and the continental military port obtained by Russia in the Far East became a thing of the past.
At the same time, the end of the Battle of Vladivostok also represented the war between Beiyang and Russia.
The end of the war, so far, Russia no longer has an organized resistance force in the Northeast. In Inner Mongolia, due to the limitations of logistical supplies, even increasing the army will not have a big effect, because at this time, the troops stationed in the Northeast
You can now free up your hands to go south! If there is no ceasefire, Russia will lose even more!
