Chapter 1165: Vladivostok's Morning

Vladivostok, Manchu means "small fishing village by the sea", the Tang Dynasty Bohai Kingdom period belongs to the jurisdiction of the Binfu, the Yuan Dynasty called "Yongming City", belongs to the jurisdiction of the Eastern Yuan Marshal Mansion, opened up the capital of the Yuan Dynasty Beijing through Shenyang to Jilin Wanjin Pagoda Ancient City Xixiangzhou to the coastal Yongming City of the land post road, the waterway is a foreign trade seaport.

Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Vladivostok and Sakhalin all belonged to the country. It was not until the rise of Russia and the expansion of the eastward and the decline of national fortunes at the end of the Qing Dynasty that the Russians extended their claws to the Far East Ming Zhuhai, Senwei and Sakhalin Island. In 1858 (the eighth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty), the Manchu government signed an unequal treaty with the Russian invaders, the "Treaty of Aihui", which regarded the area east of the Ussuri River as a "condominium" area of Russia, and Vladivostok was also "conordinated"! Only two years later, before the ink of the "Treaty of Aihun of Russia" was dry, in 1860 Russia signed the "Treaty of Beijing", which was humiliating and humiliating, and the "condominium" was also canceled, and Vladivostok became the territory of Tsarist Russia, and was changed to a very insulting name to the country - Vladivostok, which means to rule the East.

The reason why the Xinyuhai Revolution was able to succeed was because the Manchu government and the government of the Manchu Dynasty implemented black and secret rule for the outside of the country, and the people's grievances were boiling, they could not bear it, and the contradictions reached the point of irreconcilability. And one of the goals of the revolution outlined by Sun Shan, the leader who initiated the Xin Yu Hai Revolution, to the people is to recover the sea cudivostok that was betrayed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty! ,

Vladivostok, bordering the Sea of Japan, controls the Sea of Okhotsk, is a natural ice-free port in the Far East, and its military strategic position is very important.

During the Russo-Japanese War, the focus of the Russian army's defense was in southern Liaoning, and Lushun was the focus of the Japanese army's attack, although the Japanese fleet attacked Vladivostok. But it didn't work much. In the end, the Japanese annihilated the Russian defenders and the Pacific Detachment at Arthur, and then carried out the Battle of Mukden, inflicting heavy losses on the Russian army, forcing Tsarist Russia to admit defeat and sign the Peace of Portsmouth.

Now Vladivostok is the most important base of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy. After so many years of construction, Vladivostok has a complete harbor defense system. It has become one of the strongest coastal forts in the world.

At this time, the Soviet Red Navy was still a coastal defensive navy, mainly used to escort and defend lines of communication, and cooperate with the army and air force to complete various tasks. The General Headquarters of the Navy has under the jurisdiction of the General Staff Department, the Political Affairs Department, the Hydrographic Department, the Naval Aviation Command, the Coastal Defense Artillery Command and other functional departments, as well as the four fleets of the North, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and the Pacific Ocean and five regional fleets, including Pingsk. There were almost 600 warships in the four fleets, 3 battleships, 7 cruisers, 59 destroyers, 28 submarines in the 5 district fleets. Furthermore. There are also 269 torpedo boats and more than 2500 aircraft.

The Pacific Fleet was one of the four main fleets of the Soviet Red Navy, with its headquarters at the Golden Horn and the gates facing the military port.

Tsarist Russia's Far Eastern Navy was formed at the beginning of the 18th century, and the main force was destroyed in the Russo-Japanese War, and the remaining officers and men of the Amur flotilla, which was severely weakened, and the few ships of the fleet of the Amur region, took part in the Soviet Revolution. However, the ships were largely taken by the enemy as they repelled the intervention of the White Guards and foreign armed forces.

In the year 1922, just after the recovery of Vladivostok, the Red Army of the Far East rebuilt the Far Eastern Navy. Participated in the battle to clear the white bandits on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk and defend the borders of the Soviet Union. By 1926, the Far Eastern Navy was disbanded, the Vladivostok ship detachment was transferred to the Far Eastern Maritime Border Guard Department, and the Amur District Flotilla became a ** corps of the Red Navy.

In April 1932, in order to consolidate the Far Eastern frontier, the Soviet Union rebuilt the Far East Navy, transferred submarines, torpedo boats, coastal guns and other technical weapons from the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea to Vladivostok by railway, built airfields, shore artillery fortifications, ship anchorages, barracks, ship repair yards and shipyards, and converted some transport ships and fishing boats into minelayers and minesweepers. The defense system of Vladivostok, the main naval base, has been improved. Then. In accordance with the decision of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union of the Leninin ** Youth League, the Komsomol organizations of the Western Siberian, Eastern Siberian and Far Eastern territories were responsible for supporting the Far Eastern Navy. Introduced by the group weaving. Thousands of Komsomol members came to serve in ships, aviation and shore units. Through tenacious study, all the personnel of the Far East Navy mastered the new technology and equipment and the situation in the Pacific theater. The political and government organs and party organizations actively helped the command to establish the Soviet Navy in the Pacific Ocean, helped train and educate personnel. As a result, by the thirties, the Far Eastern Navy was improved both quantitatively and qualitatively.

On January 11, 1935, the Far Eastern Navy was renamed the Pacific Fleet.

At this time, the Pacific Fleet had 2 surface ship detachments, 4 submarine detachments, 1 torpedo boat detachment, several ** ship groups, a naval aviation department with 200 aircraft, corps, coastal defense forces and weapons, communications service departments, rear service departments, etc. The task was to strengthen the anti-landing defense of the coastal zone and to defend the Far Eastern sea lines of communication in coordination with the Army Department.

Ivan? Stepanovich? Yumashev was born in Tbilisi on October 9, 1895, the son of a railway worker. In 1912, Yumashev enlisted in the army as a sailor in the Baltic Fleet of Tsarist Russia, joined the Soviet Red Navy in October, and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1932 as a cruiser captain. Since then, he has served as Chief of Staff and Commander of the Black Sea Fleet. In 1939, Kuznev succeeded Kuznev, who had been transferred to the Soviet Navy's People's Commissariat and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, as commander of the Pacific Fleet.

Yumashev had already received an urgent combat readiness order from the Far Eastern Front Command, and he also made mobilization arrangements for the Pacific Fleet.

At this time, the Soviet Red Navy not only had no aircraft carriers but also no radars, and had only two means of detecting the enemy, one was reconnaissance aircraft and air reconnaissance, and the other was submarine reconnaissance. Since South Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands, which are not far from Vladivostok, are both occupied by the Japanese army, it is tantamount to locking the Pacific Fleet in the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan. Moreover, this Far East region was occupied by the Japanese army in the Siberian War, and the Japanese army was very familiar with the terrain and defense of the Far East, but the Soviet Red Army was not familiar with the area from the Kuril Islands to Hokkaido. Because they did not know in which direction the Japanese army would break through first if it went to war.

At half past five in the morning on July 26, Yumashev got up early and walked from the dormitory to the office building. He wanted to ask the staff officer on duty if there was any report from the submarine last night, and see if there were any new moves by the Japanese troops.

It was a clear morning, the sun had not yet jumped above the sea level, and the morning sun on the horizon had already brought the beautiful Golden Horn to life.

The warships in the military port had already begun to raise their fires, and two reconnaissance planes of the Pacific Fleet air force had skimmed over them, and the day of intense preparations for war was about to begin again.

When Yumashev walked to the door of the headquarters building, he glanced back at the cruisers and destroyers moored in the military port, and only felt full of energy, and secretly thought, with such a powerful fleet, it would be good if the Japanese ghost slicers didn't come, if they came to Guan Yu, they would teach the little twigs who didn't know whether they were alive or dead to go to the sea to feed the fish!

Yumashev was about to raise his feet and walk into the headquarters building, when suddenly there was a faint roar in his ears, and when he looked up, a dark shadow appeared in the southeast sky, like a flock of seagulls, flapping their wings, quacking, singing, and flying towards the military port of the Golden Horn in Vladivostok.

Yumashev was the commander and admiral of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy, not a person who wrote poetry and paintings, he knew that it was not a seagull, it was a Japanese aircraft group!

Yumashev panicked and shouted loudly: "Pull the battle alarm, quickly pull the battle alarm!" ”

As Yumashev shouted, the terrible battle sirens sounded, one after another, echoing over the quiet and beautiful military port just now.

It's a pity it's too late. It was a Japanese fighter, I don't know how many times faster than the Seagull, and at this time, the Pacific Fleet wanted to pull the alarm and go into battle, it was obviously too late.

How did Yumashev know that this time, the Japanese Navy made a great determination, and the commander of the Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Go, personally sent out on the expedition, and the aircraft carrier alone was dispatched, carrying more than 400 aircraft, including fighters, reconnaissance planes, torpedo bombers, dive bombers, and horizontal bombers, to destroy the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy in one fell swoop.

The Japanese planes roared and pounced, swept over the military port in a low-altitude skimming attitude, and frantically dropped bombs at the warships that were about to sail in the military port. All of a sudden, there was a sound of explosions.

Yumashev watched as his most precious cruiser struggled with the sound of the Japanese plane's bombs, and the Red Navy soldiers on the deck who fired at the Japanese planes with their guns were thrown high into the sea by the waves of the Japanese planes' bombs, and were even shot by shrapnel and Japanese planes, and blood was gushing and flowing.

The only two cruisers of the Pacific Fleet were injured by the intensive bombardment of Japanese planes, and the sea water began to pour into the warship through the large holes blown out by the bombs, and the hull of the ships tilted, and then a fire broke out.

Yumashev worked from a sailor to the commander of the fleet, and he knew that the cruiser would soon be blown up and sunk.

Two tears flowed from his eye sockets, and Yumashev immediately ordered the sailors on the warship to abandon the ship and escape!

Another focus of the bombing by Japanese aircraft was the airfield of the Pacific Fleet aviation. I don't know how the Japanese army got the information and made the bombing target so clear. A swarm of Japanese planes came out of the sky, viciously pounced on the neatly parked Soviet airfield, and opened heavy fire on the Soviet planes that were preparing to take off urgently after receiving information!

On this bloody morning, the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy groaned at the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese planes.

The Japanese-Soviet War broke out!
