The Russian army stationed 1 brigade in Vladivostok to guard it, and at this time, of course, they were all alarmed, and immediately organized themselves, relying on the port buildings in Vladivostok, to arrange defensive positions to resist the offensive of the People's Army.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Far East Army in Harbin, Linevich, had received the news that Vladivostok was attacked by the People's Army, and he was also taken aback, never expecting that the People's Army would attack Vladivostok at this time, Linevich of course knew the strategic value of Vladivostok, which was not only the only military port in the Far East at present, but also the main force of the Russian army was facing the People's Army in Shenyang, and the rear was empty, once the People's Army captured Vladivostok, it could go all the way west along the Hasui Line of the Middle East Railway and go straight to Harbin, on the other hand, sent a telegram to Shuangchengzi, ordering the defenders of Shuangchengzi to set off quickly and rush to rescue Vladivostok. In fact, the Russian army only has 1 battalion of troops in Shuangchengzi, and rushing to Vladivostok is a drop in the bucket, but Linevich thinks that one more battalion of defenders can at least have more hope of holding Vladivostok.

The landing People's Army soon engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Russian army, staging a land offensive and defensive battle.

Although the Russian army is on the defensive side, and has a geographical advantage, the number of people is much more than that of the People's Army, but the Russian army's defense line is hastily arranged, and the Russian army did not expect that the Vladivostok fortress would be broken through. Heavy artillery competition could not stop the KPA offensive at sea and let the KPA landing force go ashore smoothly, so the Russian army had already lost a head in the psychological sense; while the KPA had been prepared for a long time and had conducted special training, and the breakthrough of the coastal defense in Vladivostok and the successful landing had boosted the morale of the KPA, and although the number was small, everyone was full of self-confidence, not to mention that more and more reinforcements would come later.

However, the port of Vladivostok is in the shape of an inverted "7", and the batteries and fortresses at the exit of the port were destroyed by the Eagle Strike 100* and naval guns, but on the shore inside the port, there are still many batteries remaining, although these batteries are equipped with small and medium-caliber artillery below 105 mm, but they are still quite powerful in supporting the war on land, and they are also the main fire support for the defense of the Russian army.

Although the People's Army has not yet transported the artillery ashore, the landing force is equipped with fire support troops, carrying a large number of mortars and machine guns, although the power of the mortar is not as good as the battery artillery, but there are many of them, and they are easy and flexible, easy to move, and the firepower is far more dense than the battery firepower, and it can also cause huge casualties to the Russian army, so both sides have their own strengths, the Russian army has a large number of people, fierce firepower, the people's army has high morale, flexible and dense firepower, and for a time it was evenly matched, comparable.

However, this balance of power did not last long, and after about 40 minutes, the KPA in assault boats landed on the coast, so that three more battalions of troops were added to the battle, so that the KPA was no longer under the strength of the Russian army.

However, the reinforced People's Army did not join the battlefield of attacking the port, after all, the space around the port was limited, and the reinforced army could not be fully deployed, so it turned to attack the city of Vladivostok.

At this moment, the three cruisers of the People's Army Navy sailed into the harbor and opened artillery bombardment on the batteries on the shore and the Russian positions, which immediately disrupted the positions of the Russian troops, although the artillery on the batteries hurriedly turned around and fired at the warships in the harbor, but the number of the inner harbor batteries was too small, there were only 7 or 8 guns in total, and although there were 3 cruisers, there were more than 30 guns in total, and the firepower of the two sides was too great, so the firepower of the batteries was not as good as the firepower of the enemy warships after all.

And without the fire support of the battery, the Russian defense line suddenly could not resist the attack of the People's Army, not to mention that the three cruisers still had the spare strength to bombard the Russian defense line on the shore, but in a short time, the Russian defense line was broken by the People's Army, and the army was completely dispersed, allowing the People's Army to enter the port, and the two sides launched a white-knuckle battle.

In fact, in this era, the Russian army's white-knuckle combat capability is quite strong, and its one-on-one white-knuckle combat ability is even higher than that of the Japanese army, but the People's Army has gone through the experience of the previous war, and it has also practiced its own unique white-edged tactics very proficiently. Moreover, the morale and fighting spirit of the two sides are not at the same level at all, the People's Army is seeing victory in sight, with high morale and strong fighting spirit, while the Russian army is only dying at this time, just lingering, so it reacts to the battlefield, but the Russian army can't parry in the white-knuckle battle, and is soon defeated by the People's Army and fled.

At this time, the reinforced People's Army also took control of the city of Vladivostok. By about 10 o'clock in the morning, the fighting was almost over, with a small part of the Russian army fleeing Vladivostok, and the rest ending with KPA taking full control of the port of Vladivostok, the city and the island of Lefu.

The Vladivostok fortress, which Russia had operated for more than 10 years, was completely occupied by the People's Army, and Luo Yue, who commanded the landing operation at Kunming, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Chao smiled and said, "Commander Luo, congratulations, you have won the battle of attacking Vladivostok. ”

Luo Yue said: "There, there, Commander Han, this is the result of all of us working together and fighting together, without the support of the navy, without the Kunming ship, the Marine Corps alone cannot win this battle." ”

Han Chao said: "Qingdao should be notified now, I think I will probably be in a hurry over there." ”

Luo Yue nodded and said, "Just ask Commander Han to contact Qingdao and help me arrange a speedboat, I will immediately go ashore to command the work of clearing the tail, taking Vladivostok is only the first step, and there is still a tough battle to be fought later." ”

Han Chao said: "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately." ”

So Han Chao immediately ordered to put down the boat on the Kunming ship and sail to the shore with Luo Yue and several guards. After landing on the shore, Luo Yue looked at the wreckage of the destroyed fort fortress on the shore, and he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

In retrospect, in fact, the entire course of the war went very smoothly, and it was basically carried out in accordance with the plan drawn up by the People's Army before the war; on the one hand, this was because the People's Army had made sufficient preparations before the war, formulated a detailed and thorough battle plan, and conducted detailed reconnaissance and surveys of the terrain of Vladivostok, the distribution of the Russian army's defensive firepower, and the landing site.

On the other hand, it was also because the People's Army had such a big killer weapon as the Eagle Strike 100*, which first knocked out the heavy artillery in Vladivostok, thus removing the greatest threat to the three battleships, and then the three battleships could give full play to the power of their own naval guns and destroy the shore fire of Vladivostok one by one, creating favorable conditions for the later landing. Otherwise, if you want to break through the defense of Vladivostok from the sea, you will have to pay a considerable price, otherwise although the Russian army guarding Vladivostok is a little slack, after all, Russia has been operating in Vladivostok for many years, and it still takes a lot of effort to arrange the defense.

By 1 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the preliminary clearing of the battlefield was over, and the KPA had only 312 killed and another 545 wounded, and 1,186 Russian soldiers had been killed and 3,657 had been taken prisoner. At this time, all the KPA warships entered the port and berthed, and the six transport ships were also docked at the wharf to unload their cargo and disembark people.

Vladivostok is a fortress city, so the population is not large, only more than 200,000, basically Russians, most of them are family members of Russian troops stationed in the Far East, and some are businessmen doing business in the Far East. Originally, the original inhabitants of Vladivostok were Han and ethnic minorities such as the Oroqen, Feiyaka, and Hezhe, but after the Russian occupation of Vladivostok, on the one hand, they emigrated to Vladivostok, and on the other hand, they cleaned up the original inhabitants by means of expulsion and killing, so as to form the current ethnic composition of Vladivostok.

Although Russia later obtained Lushun and set Lushun as the anchorage of the Pacific Fleet, the position of Vladivostok has declined, but Vladivostok is still the most important city of Russia in the Far East, Bijing Lushun is only a leased land, and Vladivostok has become a Russian territory for nearly 50 years, and Vladivostok is not only a port, but also the end of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Hasui line of the Eastern Railway, so although the population is not large, it has also accumulated a large amount of materials, food, Medicinal materials and other materials, as well as 2 trains and 4 locomotives, have naturally become trophies of the People's Army, and of course they are all used by the People's Army.

Luo Yue was also very satisfied with the harvest from the occupation of Vladivostok, which was enough for the People's Army to use for half a year, so he ordered the logistics personnel to register all these materials, divide them into names, and keep them for future use.

In the afternoon, Luo Yue received a message from Qingdao, and the military team first congratulated the expeditionary force and gave it a reward, and at the same time ordered Luo Yue not to hesitate to march immediately to capture Shuangchengzi, and must capture Shuangchengzi before the Russian reinforcements arrived to strengthen the garrison of Shuangchengzi.

Although the strategic location of Vladivostok is important, Bijing is on a small peninsula, and the space for maneuvering is limited, if the Russian army increases troops to Shuangchengzi and arranges a tight defensive line, it is still possible to completely block the People's Army on the peninsula, so the People's Army must capture Shuangchengzi in order to obtain a broader space in this area, and it is also the ultimate goal of the People's Army's labor expedition of more than 2,000 kilometers.
