Chapter 365: The Far East Fleet Perishes

The sneak attack of the Japanese army was very successful, and the unprepared Red Banner Far East Special Army was taken by surprise, and the various units could not take care of each other, and were broken by the Japanese and Japanese Far East Army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

To say that a sneak attack is to belittle the Japanese army, and the war does not need to consider the means, but only needs to see the desired result.

In order to win, no matter what method the armies of both sides take, one aims to defeat the opponent.

It must be admitted that in this Far East War, the combat strategy of the Japanese Far Eastern Army is indeed remarkable, sneak attack, intersperse, division and encirclement, and the tactics are used to the extreme.

The successful application of Japanese tactics was one of the aspects that determined the victory of this battle.

On the other hand, it is also because the Great Purge has entered the final stage, and in the process of this Great Purge of the Red Banner Far East Special Army, the front-line commanders were almost clear, and they were replaced by some Bulviks who did not know much about military affairs.

They are civilian officials, and there is still some gap between them and professional military commanders.

In addition, they misjudged that the situation in the Far East was safe, and the Japanese and Japanese armies could not cope with the war against China alone, so where would they pose a threat to the Far East?

Therefore, last night many soldiers in the Far Eastern coastal area were mixed in the dance hall, and some of the soldiers who liked to drink heavily were drunk.

As for the precautions on the border, it was simply terrible, and it was unguarded, and it created convenient conditions for the Japanese to smoothly reach and infiltrate the coastal area.

Otherwise, if the troops of a division of the Japanese Far Eastern Army infiltrated the coastal area on a large scale, there would always be a few places where it would be discovered, and the war in the Far Eastern coastal area would be a different situation at that time.

In any case, the strategy of attacking the east and the west of the Japanese army headquarters was very successful, and it completely convinced Mosko's bearded man, and the Japanese army went south to the Central Plains and concentrated its forces to launch a dialogue war.

The victory or defeat of the war was only a thought, and at this point, the Far Eastern coastal region and the powerless to return to the sky, the Japanese army destroyed the ancient and the decay, and swept away all the armies in the coastal area.

Countless soldiers of the army were wiped out, and some of them escaped early to avoid death when they saw that the situation was not good.

According to the battle plan, the entire Japanese Far East Army was divided into north and south, and a part of it attacked and advanced to the north.

A part of the army led by Lieutenant General Kimotokiyo, including the 12th Division, the 79th Division, the 102nd Division, and the 112th Division, formed the northward advance group, which did not participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the coastal area, but rapidly advanced northward.

Even, the 12th Division quickly seized the trains on the railway line and moved north by train, moving north much faster.

They were to gain time to move as far north as possible to threaten Khabarovsk (Boli), where the headquarters of the Red Banner Far Eastern Special Army was located, and to cut off the attempts of the Red Banner Far Eastern Special Army to go south to support the Primorsky region until the army in the Primorsky region was completely wiped out.

Of course, this is also an important part of the whole strategy, after all, the Red Banner Far Eastern Special Army can quickly go south through the railway transport line.

Time is very important, even if the northbound group can hold off the enemy army for a day, the few vehicles in the coastal area have completely disappeared.

At nine o'clock in the morning, in the headquarters of the Japanese Far Eastern Army, the commander of the Japanese Far East Army, Lieutenant General Yokoseoshiro, and the chief of staff, Major General Ishihara Wanji, compiled war information.

The commander of the Japanese Far East Army, Yokoseishiro, slapped the table excitedly and said: "Mixi, the Lucy people are really weak, and they didn't have a little defense, and the imperial army is simply driving straight in, like entering a no-man's land, and the Lucy army in the coastal area is completely finished." ā€

Yes, at this time, almost all the Maozi troops lost the will to resist, and even if there were still troops, they all became routed troops, and it was difficult to form effective resistance, allowing the Japanese army to rage.

The good news kept coming, and from time to time a staff officer came in to report the good news: "Report to the commander, the battle for Ussuriysk has come to an end, and it is reported that the commander of the Primorsky region, Stenn, has fled under the cover of a small number of troops, and only a small number of troops are still resisting in the city, and it is estimated that the battle will be over in half an hour." ā€

"Report to the commander, Zhang Gufeng has won a great victory on the battlefield, the 19th Division is pursuing the route, and Lucy's army has collapsed." The report was just finished here, and the good news came immediately, which immediately made Lieutenant General Yokoseoshiro smile happily.

Major General Ishihara, Chief of the General Staff of the Far Eastern Army, pondered for a moment and said: "I see that Lucy's army has lost the will to resist, so it is better to order the 17th and 18th Divisions to stop participating in the battle in the coastal area and instead advance quickly, directly into Vladivostok (Vladivostok), and threaten the Far Eastern Fleet."

By this time, the Imperial Navy was ready for naval battle and had already successfully laid mines on the fairway. If their fleet flees in a panic, it is very likely that they will accidentally run into the mine array and will not be able to escape the end of destruction. ā€

The commander, Lieutenant General Yokoseisi, felt that the advice of Chief of Staff Ishihara was very good, and immediately agreed: "Ishi, Ishihara-kun has a good idea, and immediately send a telegram ordering the 17th and 18th divisions of the imperial army to terminate the existing military operations, quickly assemble troops, and go straight to Vladivostok. The task of destroying the remnants of Ussuriysk was entrusted to the 23rd Division to end the battle. ā€

"Hi, Commander." The staff officer immediately went down to deliver the latest orders.

The battle of Shuangchengzi ended before noon, and most of the Russian troops were wiped out, except for a small number of Russian troops who fled.

After the defeat of the 40th Division of the Russian Army, the 17th and 18th Japanese Divisions, which participated in the encirclement and annihilation of Ussuriysk, had already started to advance towards Vladivostok.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the 1102nd and 1112th Divisions of the Japanese and Japanese Divisions, which had gone south to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the southern part of the coast, and the 19th Division, which had gone north, had almost ended the battle and were pursuing the remnants of the enemy in a northeast direction.

At this point, the 40th Division and the 2nd Mechanized Brigade and the 77th Tank Brigade of the 39th Division deployed by the Red Banner Far East Special Group Army in Shuangchengzi, as well as the troops near Lake Hassan, including the 22nd and 365th Divisions, as well as the 75th Tank Brigade and the 257th Tank Brigade, had almost collapsed, and the 19th Division of the Japanese Far East Army was still in the process of pursuit.

At dusk, the 17th and 18th Divisions of the Japanese Far Eastern Army were approaching Vladivostok, and the whole city was in chaos, and a large number of people began to flee, hoping to escape before the Japanese army arrived.

There were also small armies that organized to resist, but in fact, it was useless to get to this point.

The fleet belonging to the Special Army of the Red Banner Far East had already received an order from Marshal Blyukhel to set sail at once, and could not remain in the port and be captured by the Japanese army.

The fleet had to set sail at once, leave for the time being, and wait until the Red Banner Far Eastern Special Army moved south to repel the Japanese army, and then they returned.

This is a temporary measure, and it is also a last resort.

At this time, the whole fleet was extremely flustered, and some warships had already left the dock, but some people had not yet boarded the ship, and they were shouting wildly on the dock, as if to make the warships wait so that they could board the ship.

When the disaster came, no one cared about it, and the warships that left the shore no longer paid attention to the soldiers on the shore.

Fortunately, some of the warships did not leave the dock, and the rest of the people flocked to the warships that were preparing to set sail.

There is just one word "chaos" on the dock of the military port, and all the people are busy running for their lives, can they not panic?

The fleet under the Red Banner Far East Special Army fled in a panic and sailed away from the port, but in the panic they did not detect the mines on the channel in time and plunged headlong into this mine array.

This is the fatal thing, as long as one warship touches a mine and explodes, the whole fleet will inevitably panic, and it will be a nightmare.

Afraid of something, there was a loud "boom", and finally a warship hit a mine and exploded, and the other ships of the fleet realized that there were probably mines here, and began to evade them in a panic.

The warships of the fleet are very dense, and the formation is really terrible, and there are constantly warships hitting mines, "boom...... Boom ......" explosions came and went, one after another.

Catastrophe, this is definitely a catastrophe for the Far Eastern Fleet.

At this time, it depends on whose fate is good, and the warship that strikes the mine first will have a bad fate, opening up the way for other warships to clear mines.

The sound of the explosion gradually died out, and it seemed that it had sailed out of the minefield, and at this time, the commander of the Far East Fleet looked at the entire fleet again, and it was not miserable, there were only more than a dozen complete warships, and the sea was full of sunken warships.

However, the bad luck is not over, someone has already spotted the appearance of a large fleet ahead: "Enemy ships found, enemy ships found!" ā€

It's over, I just broke out of the mine array, and this encounter with the enemy's warship is really no way to live.

The commander of the fleet knew that he could not do well today, and immediately issued a combat order: "Prepare for battle, the non-combatants of all warships should flee immediately, and whoever runs out of shells first can abandon ship and flee for his life, and give me a hard blow." ā€

Obviously, this is also a way to encourage soldiers to fight, in order to get the soldiers on the warship to open fire. The fleet commander made this promise did play a huge role, and every officer and soldier had the same mind, ran out of the existing shells, and then abandoned the ship and fled for their lives.

At this time, the fleet had not yet completely sailed out of the harbor, and the coasts on both sides were very close to each other, and it was completely possible to swim ashore.

Artillery roared, and a tragic naval battle began.

The Far Eastern Fleet was desperate, and the artillery fire was continuous, and this dying struggle really dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese naval fleet.

However, this was a naval battle without any suspense, because the strength of the fleets of the two sides was disproportionate, and the fleet of the Japanese navy was many times larger than that of the fleet of the Red Banner Far East Special Army, and the outcome was already doomed.
