"〞The fastest update, no pop-ups!

The Battle of Tsushima was an ambush set up in the Tsushima Strait by the Chinese military lord Dòng to lure the exhausted Pacific Fleet of the Hubei Army to enter and attack him.

The battle lasted a whole day, and the five old gunboats of the Pacific Fleet of the Hubei Army, the Thunderbolt, the Victory, and Stark left to salvage the officers and men of the overboard Hubei Army and the Japanese were captured by the Huaxia Army, and the rest of the warships all sank to the bottom of the sea, while none of the main fleet of the Huaxia Army sank.

After the end of the naval battle, Hu Zhen did not rest, held a military meeting overnight, and he proposed the next direction of action: raid Vladivostok, seize the only harbor base in the Pacific region, completely cut off the black hand of Oros reaching out to the Pacific Ocean, and outflank the back of the Far Eastern Front of Oros from the coastal defense line, and coordinate with the army to annihilate the Far Eastern Front!

This step of the action plan has long been drawn up by the General Staff Department, and it can be implemented as soon as the Battle of Tsushima is over, and there is no need for too much scrutiny, but only a little adjustment has been made in light of the new changes in the battlefield, and the action can be taken quickly.

On the dark and heavy sea, the main fleet of the Huaxia Army marched north overnight, escorting the captured ships of the Hubei army that could still move and more than 200 transport ships that had arrived.

One night and one day later.

Vladivostok seaport.

What should be done in this seaport city, the Hubei army is retreating one after another, but the upper echelons of the Hubei army deliberately blocked the news, and the locals did not know that the Hubei army would be defeated and retreated under the blows of those short "yellow-skinned monkeys", and at this time, not even a single Oros person was worried about the Pacific Fleet and the Far Eastern Front.

At this time, Vladivostok did not know at all the news that the Pacific Fleet had been completely wiped out, and a day had passed, and the Far Eastern Front and the remaining personnel of the Pacific Fleet still did not have any news about the Pacific Fleet.

But by nightfall, the Pacific Fleet's Thunderbolt and five old gunboats suddenly appeared outside the harbor docks, with more than twenty transport ships in tow.

In the searchlight, the Hubei troops guarding the harbor saw that the Thunderbolt was scarred and thrilling, but it could barely sail and sent a quasi-què flag signal to the battery in the port area. But the long list of transport ships behind it did not look like the Hubei army's own transport ships, and the Hubei army guarding the dock thought to themselves that it must be the spoils that the Pacific Fleet had taken from the yellow-skinned monkeys, so they let all the ships in without doubt.

In fact, it was the Cap Thunderbolt and other ships that were the Hun captives directing the line of defense under the guns of the Huaxia Army, and the ships seemed to be skilfully moving through the waterway, avoiding any reefs and beaches and silt in the channel, and slowly approaching the pier.

According to the Holy Decree of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, this fleet carried the special combat team and the Marine Corps of the Chinese Army, commanded by the special operations general Ma Shaohao, who was standing on the bridge of the Thunderbolt at this moment, quietly watching every detail of the operation.

It was a very risky operation, and even he didn't dare to think about it, so he approached the dock so smoothly.

After the Thunderbolt and the five old gunboats slowly approached the dock, I saw a few Hubei sentries on the pier lazily swinging with their rifles on their backs, not even bothering to look at everything on the ship, as if it had nothing to do with them.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Ma Shaohao's mouth, and he waved his hand to control the dock.

Five or six hundred people dressed in the uniforms of the sailors of the Pacific Fleet of the Hubei Army immediately poured out from each ship, and they walked slowly to the dock according to the queue of the Hubei fleet.

But when he walked up to the dock, a Hubei sentry noticed that something was wrong in the dim light, and he came up and asked what the reason was.

It's okay that the sentry didn't ask, but this question cost him his life.

Several silent crossbow arrows flew over and plunged into his throat with precision and ruthlessness, leaving him unable to make a sound forever.

The other Hubei sentries were taken aback, and took their rifles from their backs and pointed them at the crowd as they walked down the ship.

But a dozen more bolts flew in and killed the sentinels.

The crowd quickly walked over and flooded the place where the sentinels had fallen, and from a distance, in the dim light, it was impossible to see what was happening here.

There were more and more crowds of people landing on the dock on the ships behind, and a large area of black pressure rushed out of the dock.

Hu Zhen began to pay attention to Vladivostok as early as the Nanyang era, and quietly sent intelligence officers to infiltrate Vladivostok, bribe the Hubei army and Cossacks, collect intelligence and draw detailed maps here, which provided great convenience for the sneak attack on Vladivostok.

The Hu army on the edge of the dock finally realized that something was wrong here, but there were already many black shadows in front of them, and countless crossbow arrows flew towards the Hu army, silently killing one Hu army after another.

These black shadows poured towards the batteries that controlled the docks, and one after another was controlled, and the Hubei troops guarding the batteries were either killed or captured without firing a single shot.

The operation to capture the pier went very smoothly, and the Thunderbolt, five gunboats, more than 20 transport ships, and more than 10,000 special combat personnel of the first echelon all landed at the pier without any problems.

When the Hubei army in Vladivostok discovered the situation at the wharf, all the batteries and artillery that could threaten the wharf and the waterway had been controlled by the special combat team of the Huaxia Army.

Behind it, a huge fleet of 40,000 marines and the army of the second echelon passed through the Vladivostok channel and landed at various key points in Vladivostok without hindrance.

The garrison in the city had only seven or eight thousand troops, and when they found that the Huaxia army had landed on a large scale, they immediately organized a counteroffensive in the direction of the wharf.

But where are these logistically garrisoned Hubei troops armed to the teeth?

In the darkness, the continuous charges of the Hubei army were just vegetables to be sent to death, and they were killed and wounded everywhere by the fierce machine gun fire of the Huaxia army.

The Hubei army failed to storm the wharf, but was chased by the Huaxia army into the edge of the city of Vladivostok.

However, the Huaxia army was now anxious to control all the forts and highland points in the Vladivostok fortress area, and temporarily released an attack on the city, so that the Hubei army in the city breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and was not immediately annihilated.

In the darkness, the defenders of the Hubei batteries also learned of the attack on Vladivostok, but they did not know where the enemy came from, let alone where the enemy carried out a sneak attack, so they could not open artillery bombardment at all. And more importantly, most of the defenders on the batteries were transferred by Alekseev to the direction of Xingkai Lake to engage the Huaxia army, and there were simply not enough manpower to load the shells and open the artillery, and the officers of the batteries were in a hurry and had no choice.

After completely controlling the positions near the wharf, the special combat team of the Huaxia Army led the way with the Hubei prisoners according to the map, and took advantage of the night to rush to the batteries of the Vladivostok fortress. (To be continued.) )
