Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Sword Pointed at Vladivostok
The Russian army under the city of Aichun was surrounded by the Qing army, there was no way to go to the sky, there was no way to enter the ground, and it was completely in a desperate situation, and the Russian army with low morale finally despaired, and in the face of great fear, the Russian army threw down the weapons in their hands one by one, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands to surrender!
Basha and Sergei also had to be captured, it was too cowardly, and the troops of two or three thousand people were actually annihilated by a group of Qing troops, which was a shame that the Russian army had not encountered in hundreds of years! Even in the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi went north to resist, but he only defeated the Russian army, and did not encircle and annihilate the Russian army!
The Qing army that entered Aichun City celebrated vigorously, it was not easy, it was really not easy, they traveled thousands of miles, from inside the pass to outside the pass, and went through hardships to achieve a big victory, which is rare in decades!
He Qimou and the others came to the headquarters of the Russian army, and laughed and said: "Yezi, you are really amazing, this battle is fought heartily, it is like divine help, I think in the entire Qing Dynasty, there is no general with such a genius command ability as you!" I took it, I took it thoroughly......"
Guo Ye smiled and replied: "Brother Qimou, where has this been, the war has just begun, the Russian army still has a lot of troops here, if you want to achieve all the success, then you must take Vladivostok!" Such a great victory was achieved by the brothers fighting desperately with all their military lives. ”
He Qimou nodded and asked, "Yezi, now that we have taken Aichun City, what should we do next?" ”
Guo Ye's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "The Russian army lost more than 2,000 people in the first battle, Vladivostok is bound to be empty now, and the first thing Mushavyov has to do is to send a large army from various departments to guard Vladivostok, where they dare not lose it." Our goal is Vladivostok, as for the rest of the city will be handed over to Yishan, if the defense is empty, Yishan still can't take a large area east of the Ussuri River, then he, the general, deserves to be dismissed, and when he returns to Beijing, he also wants to be able to keep the dog's head. ”
Vladivostok!
He Qimou groaned: "Yezi, I heard that outside Vladivostok, the Russian army also has a naval fleet, although the strength is not strong, but it will pose a certain threat to us, let's ......"
Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about him, most of their fleets are transporting military supplies, and they only have one big ship and two small gunboats, so don't worry." As long as we occupy Vladivostok, the Russian fleet will be like a tree without roots, and there is only one way to retreat to St. Petersburg! ”
Chen Hai on the side shouted: "Brother Ye, you just give the order, how are we going to fight?" ”
Guo Ye replied: "It's very simple, just run over the past, the distance from Aichun to Vladivostok is the closest, and the nearest other cities are hundreds of miles away from Vladivostok, as long as we advance at full speed, we can definitely dare to reach Vladivostok before all the Russian troops are assembled, and catch him off guard!" ”
Guo Ye stood up and shouted, "Luo Bicheng! ”
Luo Bicheng hurriedly stood up, and Guo Ye ordered: "Bicheng, lead your cavalry battalion to advance at full speed, bypass the front of Vladivostok, cruise in the northwest direction of Vladivostok, and annihilate me on the spot as long as you find a small group of Russian troops!" ”
"Wow!"
"Left precious! With your battalion on the left flank as the vanguard, advance quickly towards Vladivostok, and when the army behind arrives in Vladivostok, strike together! Siege of Vladivostok! ”
"Wow!"
"Leave the personal guards, stay in Aichun City, and the remaining three battalions will all set off with me!"
……
Zhang Yi gave orders one by one, and the entire Qing army moved again.
Vladivostok, the news of the crushing defeat of the Russian army and the fall of Aichun was soon known to Mushavyov.
Sure enough, it was that Guo Ye!
Mushavyov's face was gloomy, this battle was too bad, the army of more than 2,000 people was all surrounded and annihilated, only less than 200 people escaped, an unprecedented defeat, and the most important thing is that more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded, which has already made the Russian army injured, and now the strength of the entire Far East is less than 6,000 people, of which more than 3,000 people are still far away in the northeast region, thousands of miles away, and the troops left near Vladivostok are only less than 3,000 people, and they are scattered all over the Amur Region! The entire Vladivostok, plus the troops who rushed to help, only had more than 1,000 people, and with such a small number of troops, there was really no certainty against Guo Ye's Qing army.
Mushavyov took a deep breath, originally thought that if he sent Sergei out, the situation would be better, even if he lost, he could ensure the retreat of the army, but he didn't expect that even Sergey would not be able to save the fate of the Russian army, this Guo Ye is really powerful!
Now what? Guo Ye will definitely not give up, Vladivostok is really in trouble this time!
"Send an urgent telegram to Collins immediately, asking him to immediately send the main force to support Vladivostok! Be sure to be fast! ”
Mushavyov now has to give another order, demanding that the Russian army in Eastern Siberia all approach in the direction of Vladivostok, the combat strength of the Qing army is not weak, coupled with the retreat of the Yishan Qing army in Heilongjiang, now the Russian army has completely fallen into passivity.
Of course, if the Russian army wants to enter Vladivostok, it is not so easy, Vladivostok is located in a corner of the Far East, and the distance from the Russian strongholds in various cities is relatively far, and it will take time to get to Vladivostok.
In the northwest of Vladivostok today, a cavalry is cruising around, it is the cavalry battalion led by Luo Bicheng, not only that, Guo Ye even sent the Mongolian cavalry to Luo Bicheng in one breath, and Luo Bicheng's elite cavalry has reached 700 people, this is a strong combat force, searching everywhere for a small Russian army rushing to aid Vladivostok.
Luo Bicheng was grinning, this battle was fought too happily, the largest Russian army encountered was only more than a hundred people, in front of hundreds of cavalry, such an army was not vulnerable at all, and was tightly escaped by a small group of cavalry, and the other Russian troops were all killed by the Qing army.
That is, after three days of cruising here, the cavalry battalion has already solved the Russian army of more than 300 people, and it is hearty, and the Russian army has no strength to fight back at all.
In this way, under the leadership of Guo Ye, the other four battalions of Qing troops all arrived at Vladivostok and surrounded Vladivostok from the west and north.
Guo Ye looked at the military map in front of him, his face was calm, Vladivostok is not Aichun yet, this city is the first choice for Tsarist Russia to build the most powerful military fortress in the Far East, the fortifications are strong, if you want to take it in one fell swoop, it is not so easy, not to mention that in the periphery of the Far East, there will definitely be other garrisons to fully support Vladivostok, take Vladivostok, and the time has come to show real skills!
If you want to take Vladivostok without paying a huge price, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!
