When Wang Huanzhang led the Independent Army to advance rapidly towards Jiangdong, the entire Jiangdong had already fallen into a different situation.

Boli is almost 2,000 miles away from Vladivostok, and in the cold winter, it will take nearly a month to quickly advance to Vladivostok.

Just when the Second Army and the Seventh Army were engaged in a fierce battle with the Russian army, the Russian Left Army, led by Valerian, quickly broke through to Shuangchengzi, but by the time they came to Shuangchengzi, Shuangchengzi had become an empty city, and all the residents had left!

Valerian was so angry, what was the use of just an empty city without people?

Keep moving!

Valerian led the main force to Vladivostok again, ready to swallow Vladivostok in one bite, but he didn't expect to come to Vladivostok, Vladivostok is also an empty city, the twin cities and Vladivostok together, the population is sixty or seventy thousand, and almost all of them go to the empty building.

He Zheng is not stupid at all, just relying on the first division that has suffered heavy losses, he wants to fight with the four divisions of the people, even if all the soldiers are gone, he will not be able to keep Shuangchengzi and Vladivostok, and in the end, all the residents of the two cities will be harmed, so the ending is something that no one wants to see.

It doesn't matter if the first division is gone, anyway, the soldiers are to protect their families and defend the country, and it is the glory of the soldiers to die on the battlefield, but the residents of this side have been displaced by the war, and even their families have been destroyed, so it is fatal.

In the end, He Zheng mobilized all the officers and men of the First Division to move all the residents of the two cities out of the city, and instead boarded the warship and transferred to Jinzhou, with a population of 60,000 or 70,000, although the population is quite large, it will bring huge pressure to Jinzhou, but there is Shengjing behind Jinzhou, and there is absolutely no problem in feeding these 60,000 or 70,000 people with millions of people in Fengtian.

Not only did the inhabitants evacuate, but the 1st Division boarded the warships, leaving the two empty cities to the incoming Russian troops.

Valerian is really angry, there are no residents, no food, what is the use of this Russian army taking Shuangchengzi and Vladivostok, and the most terrible thing is that it is freezing now, and it is really not easy to march, just came to Vladivostok, and then returned to Boli after marching two thousand miles? That's not enough to toss!

Valerian also had no choice but to let his Russian troops deploy fortifications on the one hand, and collect food in various places for military use, but there was a point.

Valerian thought that this would be the end, as long as Vladivostok was occupied and stayed until next year, or later, the main forces of the Right Army returned to the banks of the Ussuri River, or some residents of Eastern Siberia were relocated from the north, then that's it, at least Vladivostok was taken, presumably the tsar would not blame himself for his previous mistakes.

But where is it as simple as Valerian imagined?

The Russian army occupied Vladivostok, does not mean that the Russian army will sit back and relax in Vladivostok, but there is still the North Sea Fleet here, although it is also a helpless move to temporarily abandon Vladivostok, but it is enough for the soldiers of the Chinese People's Army to be aggrieved, how can the Russian army be allowed to live in Vladivostok so well?

On the night of the second day after the occupation of Vladivostok, the Russian army ushered in its first sneak attack!

The main warships of the North Sea Fleet all came to the harbor of Vladivostok, and a ship gun began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment in the direction of Vladivostok!

Overnight, thousands of artillery shells were fired at the Russian army in Vladivostok, which made the Russian army miserable, and they did not sleep all night, and many Russian troops were directly injured or even killed!

Valerian hurriedly ordered the Russian artillery to participate in the battle in an all-round way, but when the Russian counterattack began, the Chinese People's Army fleet turned around and ran, and it didn't fight the Russian army at all!

Now that the main force of the Chinese People's Army has gone to Qiqihar, it is basically impossible to recapture Vladivostok, only the strength of the first division of more than 10,000 is not enough to see, however, if you can't get back Vladivostok, it can't let the Russian army have a good life, the strategy of the North Sea Fleet is to run away with a few cannons, and don't even let the Russian army fall asleep with a good night's sleep!

More than a dozen main warships lined up, and on the sea, several waves to more than a dozen waves of shells were placed in succession, blowing up Vladivostok in all directions, and then turned around and ran.

For half a month in a row, every night the North Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Army would go around outside Vladivostok, and the Russian soldiers were tortured unspeakably.

"General Valerian, we can't continue like this, the army is going crazy to be tossed by these yellow-skinned monkeys' naval artillery......"

Jangovic on the side said astringently.

"What if not? As long as we give up Vladivostok, they will take it back immediately, we can't leave Vladivostok at this time anyway, I have sent someone to the Russian embassy, ask Mr. Minister to find a way to send a telegram to the country, send a fleet to support us, and at the worst get a batch of arms and food supplies from the South Seas, if we give up Vladivostok, then Jiangdong is thousands of miles away, and by the beginning of spring next year, we will all starve to death! ”

Valerian said astringently.

Jangovich looked stunned for a moment, and replied: "Otherwise, we will withdraw part of our troops to Shuangchengzi, or leave Vladivostok and move north, and then we can maintain rotation with the army in Vladivostok, so that we can get rest, otherwise, these warships will really torture the soldiers ......."

Valerian sighed, this is the only way to do it now, at least to ensure that the army is rested and not too tired.

"Jangovich, then you can lead an army to retreat back and retreat to the twin cities to rest and recuperate......"

While he was talking, the military staff officer Olishavin hurriedly walked in and said urgently: "General Valerian, from the direction of Harbin, our scouts have sent the latest information!" ”

Valerian raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What information? ”

Olishavin opened his mouth, but finally said: "General Valerian, it's just a rumor from Harbin, the news has not yet been confirmed, in Qiqihar, the Right Army and Arsenevich's corps suffered a frantic attack by the main force of the Chinese People's Army, with heavy casualties, General Manhorov failed to break through and was forced to lead his army to surrender......"

"What!"

Valerian felt the darkness in front of him and almost fell!

Manhorov actually led his troops to surrender! If the entire Left Army plus the Arsenevich Corps, it is three corps with more than 170,000 troops! Such a powerful force was defeated and surrendered! And in just one or two months, he was defeated and surrendered!

"What the hell! Was Manhorov a pig? An army of more than 100,000 surrendered so quickly? ”
