In the afternoon, Soviet warships at sea opened fire on the remnants of Japanese troops in the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes, Soviet warships.

At the beginning, after the fall of Vladivostok, the Soviet Pacific Fleet took refuge in Kamchatka and barely survived for half a year, and later, the Northeast Coalition found them, and after recovering Dalian, they were taken to the port of Dalian. They also took part in this battle, and their mission was to monitor the invading Japanese warships at sea. Because the Japanese warships had not yet arrived, their task was to shell the Japanese from the sea instead.

The commander of the campaign ordered the infantry armored units to launch a general assault on Vladivostok,

At the same time as the shelling, the infantry of the Northeast Coalition Army, guided by tanks, divided into three roads and attacked the city. One way on the west coastline, all the way on the east coastline, and all the way in the middle.

By this time, the fires had been extinguished in most parts of the city, and smoke was billowing from the entire city. The Northeast Coalition Army made rapid progress, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

By night, only sporadic Japanese troops were left to resist in the ruins, and most of the rest were annihilated.

Seeing that Vladivostok was no longer worth rescuing, the Japanese navy, which came to the rescue by sea, began to retreat. Japanese divisions on the Korean Peninsula also began to retreat.

After retreating for dozens of kilometers, they found themselves surrounded. About 100,000 troops surrounded themselves and trapped themselves in a narrow area of two kilometers from east to west and three kilometers from north to south, with mountains to the west and the sea to the east.

The Japanese army investigated and found that this time they were surrounded by the Jilin Column, which had disappeared from the Northeast Coalition Army, and Yang Jingyu's First Army, which was clamoring near Pyongyang.

The terrain of the Japanese army was unfavorable and was severely attacked by the Northeast Coalition forces at high places. The arrogance of the Japanese army against the Eighth Route Army did not know where it had gone, and half an hour after the battle with the anti-Japanese coalition forces, they allocated a few troops to block the attack, and the large force retreated southward.

The retreating large army soon left the battlefield and followed the mountain road for less than twenty minutes, when a shout came from the hillside on the west side of the mountain road, and bullets rained down. The Japanese commander quickly judged that the opponent had only one regiment of troops, about 2,000 men, so he sent a wing to block it, and the large force continued to retreat.

The retreating Japanese troops were soon ambushed again by the Northeast Coalition forces.

In this way, there were more than a dozen ambushes along the way, and thousands of casualties were lost. The blocking forces found that after the sudden blow of the ambushed anti-Japanese coalition forces, they quickly retreated. Along the way, as long as you march along the road, you will be ambushed, and when you counterattack, the other side will flee.

On May 2, the Northeast Coalition announced to the outside world that Vladivostok had been recovered. The Northeast Coalition Army wiped out 130,000 Japanese troops and captured 5,000 alive.

The pursuit on the Korean Peninsula continues.

At noon, the anti-Japanese coalition army entered Vladivostok from the north of the city. Only a few people remained alive in Vladivostok, and most were burned to death. Most of the tall buildings in the center of the city were burned down, as were the positions along the coast. Some of the high ground in the north of the city was not overheated because of the terrain, and the remaining Japanese and Japanese troops gathered there.

Skirmishes continued.

Also at noon, the Soviet fleet, confirming the absence of defensive forces in the coastal fortresses, docked in the port of Vladivostok.

In front of them was a fire, a ruin.

The city is all over.

Now, more than a dozen reporters are following the anti-Japanese coalition forces for interviews. The reporters came from several countries, and they quickly took photos and sent out reports. Most of the reporters were cheering the victory, and a few lamented the death.

However, citing security reasons, the Northeast Coalition refused to allow reporters to go to other areas for interviews. Smoke was still billowing from the city, and the Northeast Coalition told them that there were about 2,000 Japanese troops in the ruins

Still resisting, the battle is not over. For your safety, please follow our arrangements and do not move around.

Later, after 10 days of occupying the entire city, reporters were free to cover the news. One wonders, what about the bodies of those who burned to death? How many people were burned? The Northeast Coalition Army, citing the lack of detailed information, did not answer.

On the night of the liberation, the news spread throughout China, and people in major cities celebrated and marched on the streets. Today, the Chinese people's confidence in the anti-Japanese war has greatly increased.

Because it was a coordinated operation of multiple troops, the Battle of Vladivostok was personally commanded by Koji. During this period, there were more than 100,000 words of telegrams exchanged with Yan'an. This time, more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers were burned to death, more than 30,000 were killed by bombing, more than 30,000 were killed in hand-to-hand combat, 5,000 prisoners were captured, and the rest died in positional warfare. Japanese civilians burned more than 100,000 people and captured more than 100,000 people.

Our army suffered more than 8,000 casualties in white-knuckle battles.

The entire Vladivostok was completely destroyed, and the powerful fortress fortresses of the Japanese army did not work at all.

Before the war, it was estimated that the capture of Vladivostok would result in at least tens of thousands of casualties, and that it would take a month to win. If the losses were to be reduced, the city had to be flattened with a large number of bombers.

Now, with the help of strong winds, the Northeast Coalition has captured a large city with a small number of air forces, not too many incendiary bombs, and minimal casualties. The only pity is that the city has been destroyed, only some stone walls remain, all the wooden buildings have been burned, and all the trees in the city have been burned.

After the news of Vladivostok was transmitted in Chongqing, a topic sparked debate. Several university scholars say that the Vladivostok region was the political and economic center of the ancient Bohai State, and this area should be named the Bohai Sea. Someone soon responded, saying that this area should still be called the Outer Northeast, to show the difference from the Northeast. It is inappropriate to call it Bohai, and it is easy to be confused with the concept of modern Bohai.

The topic escalated in a single day, with some arguing that this area, stretching from Vladivostok in the south to Boli in the middle, and to the plains on both sides of the main stream of the Heilongjiang River in the north, has vast land, dense forests, and abundant products, and should be properly managed. Some people also say that this place can feed 30 or 40 million people, and it must be an important source of resources for the country.

This time, there were many dead in the Japanese army, most of the bodies were unrecognizable, and all the bodies were unclaimed. Later, the Japanese prisoners were disposed of under the supervision of the Vladivostok garrison, and a large number of corpses were transported by ship to the Sea of Japan and dumped, which is called sea burial. That's an afterword.

After reporting the results to Yan'an on the path of commanding the battle in Mudanjiang, he began to care about major events at home and abroad. A piece of news caught his attention: Mrs. Chiang Meiling Soong Meiling visited the United States and gave a speech to Congress, which was very successful. She also met with the president, and there was a lot of consensus. Currently, Madame is touring various major cities, causing a whirlwind in the United States.

Xiaolu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The Americans have their position on the Chinese battlefield, that is, to drag down the Japanese army and reduce the pressure on the Pacific theater. Therefore, the whole United States has invested great enthusiasm in Madame Chiang.

Mrs. Chiang Soong Meiling has been in the United States for some time. Now, she is cured and she is ready to act. At present, the war between the United States and the Japanese is in a stalemate, and the United States needs China to contain the Japanese army. The victory in Vladivostok made Madame Chiang blow it.

In addition, the occupation of Vladivostok marked the end of the Japanese army in the Outer Northeast, leaving two large parts, one in the west and the majority, which was attacking the Soviet Union, and one in the east, which was a minority, which was fleeing to Sakhalin.

The Kwantung Army headquarters was completely destroyed, and only a few people, including the commander, flew back to Japan. I believe that the Japanese base camp is already in chaos.

Xiaolu's biggest concern was that the Chongqing troops and the U.S. army would not contribute, so that the Japanese army would have the strength to besiege the northeast. To this end, some layouts have been made in Myanmar, hoping to play a role. Now it seems that no matter what, the Outer Northeast has been taken, and the most difficult level has passed, so I am greatly relieved.

1. The original 19th Division and the 2nd Division and 10th Regiment were stationed in North Korea, and they were all A divisions with strong combat effectiveness. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, these two divisions had been transferred to Nanyang. In the later period, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese troops stationed in Korea was relatively weak, and public security relied on a large number of puppet troops and puppet police. Most of these puppet armies and puppet police later became the regular army of South Korea, but they were defeated by the KPA in 1950 because of their weak combat effectiveness.
