Just after the Dragon and Tiger Army in the first theater completely surrounded Shengjing, in the second theater, a battle for a general attack on Harbin has also begun.

Yang Polu marched along the eastern line of the Eastern Railway with 20,000 men of the division directly under the First Army Corps, occupied the city of Ningguta, blocked the Russian reinforcements that might have arrived from the area of Haisenwei, completely sealed the east gate of Harbin, and then surrounded Harbin with more than 100,000 troops.

After the general offensive began, the Russian army, which had long lost its fighting spirit, resisted for only a hundred and a few minutes, and was defeated by the fierce offensive of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and after leaving more than 6,000 corpses outside the city of Harbin, the Russian army abandoned the outer defense line of Harbin and retreated to the city of Harbin.

Yang Poyu did not give the Russian army a chance to breathe, and immediately launched the last and most fierce attack on Harbin.

The siege lasted only seventy-seven minutes before the Dragon and Tiger Army entered Harbin.

More than 30,000 Russian troops only resisted in Harbin for half a day before declaring defeat, and the supreme commander of the Russian Lieutenant General Group Army stationed in Harbin chose to surrender, and the remaining 18,000 or so Russian troops were all disarmed.

The battle was surprisingly victorious, so much so that when the news reached Yanjing, Wang Jundao couldn't believe it.

Wang Jundao finally knew why during the Russo-Russian War in history, Russia was defeated when it was superior to the Russian-Japanese War in terms of numbers and weapons.

Because the combat effectiveness of the Russian Army is simply too bad.

Even after the overthrow of Tsarist Russia in history, the Soviet Union was established, and the large-scale development of various industries, especially heavy industry, is comparable to the United States, and the Soviet army is also advanced in weapons, but during World War II, it was still beaten by Germany with a blitzkrieg and almost lost the capital, if it were not for the shackles of weather and other conditions, I am afraid that in the early stage of World War II, the Soviet Union would have been destroyed by Germany.

The combat effectiveness of the Russian army is rotten, and the combat effectiveness of the navy is equally poor.

During the Russo-Russian War, the Pacific Combined Fleet wiped out most of the Russian Pacific Fleet almost without much loss, and the Russian Pacific Fleet still had two sub-fleets transferred from the Baltic Sea, but it still could not change the outcome of the destruction of the Navy.

It was as easy as destroying the Lushun detachment of the Russian Pacific Fleet with the navy created by Wang Jundao.

On the evening of 31 August, a fleet of 10 new-type warships and five new-type minesweepers converted from the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet, led by Li Dingxin himself, quietly sailed out of the Tianjin Military Port.

This fleet was named 'Jiaolong' by Wang Jundao, taking the meaning of the dragon in the sea, and this sneak attack on the Russian Navy's Arthur Military Port was also named by Wang Jundao as the 'Jiaolong Plan'.

Relying on the communication equipment and navigation equipment that are more than ten years more advanced than Russia and even the so-called scientific and technological powers in the world, Wang Jundao's 'Jiaolong' sailed towards the Lushun Military Port at an average speed of more than 20 knots.

As early as three days ago, Huang Zhongying had already led a submarine force composed of six submarines to rush to the Lushun Military Port, and now this submarine force named 'Ghost' by Wang Jundao himself has already arrived in the coastal waters of Lushun, and has already reported the details of the Lushun Military Port to the Military Hall Admiralty.

After receiving information that the Lushun detachment of the Russian Pacific Fleet had returned to Hong Kong on the afternoon of 31 August for fresh water, fuel, and material supplies, Wang Jundao immediately sent a report to the Chinese naval fleet in Tianjin, which was ready to go.

An hour after Jiaolong left the port, the naval fleet with Sa Zhenbing personally serving as the commander-in-chief of the naval fleet and Liu Guanxiong personally serving as the deputy commander-in-chief of the naval fleet dispatched from the Tianjin military port.

More than 70 warships of various types followed the 'Jiaolong' and sailed towards Lushun, but the speed of the main fleet was far inferior to that of the 'Jiaolong'.

At three o'clock in the morning, when the semi-circular moon had just set over the sea level and the sky and the earth were pitch black, Jiaolong was already less than ten kilometers away from the Lushun Military Port, which had almost entered the range of the capital ship of the new battleship, but Li Dingxin still did not give the order to open fire, but ordered to continue to advance.

The minesweepers opened the way in front, because it was the main route in and out of the Lushun Military Port, and in addition, the Lushun Detachment of the Russian Pacific Fleet had not encountered any war at all in recent years, and it was impossible to imagine that anyone would dare to boldly attack the Lushun Military Port, after all, there were 40 warships of all kinds in the Lushun Military Port, so the extremely proud Russian Navy did not lay mines outside the Lushun Military Port, because they did not believe that China could compete with the Lushun Detachment with 40 warships, nor did they expect that 'China' would choose such a "despicable" sneak attack.

Therefore, the progress of 'Jiaolong' was not hindered in any way, and it went surprisingly smoothly.

Soon, the 'Jiaolong' came to two kilometers away from the Lushun Military Port, and this distance has almost guaranteed that the hit rate of the naval guns is more than 80 percent, of course, this is the hit rate during the day, and it is in the case of hitting stationary targets, but at this moment it is night, it is the night when you can't see your fingers, and the hit rate will naturally drop somewhat.

Just when the searchlight of the Lushun Military Port, which was not very penetrating, discovered the 'Jiaolong', Jiaolong was already less than a thousand meters away from the Lushun Military Port, and the ten warships had been lined up, and at this distance, Jiaolong could almost achieve a hit rate of more than 90 percent.

Before the Russian army could sound the alarm, the strong searchlights on the ten new-type warships were all turned on under Li Dingxin's order, and the searchlights, which were countless times stronger than the Russian searchlights, suddenly illuminated the countless warships in the Lushun Military Port clearly.

Subsequently, Li Dingxin issued an order, one twin 305mm naval gun and two twin 250mm naval guns in the bow of a new medium battleship, six twin 250mm naval guns in the bow of three light battleships, three new light cruisers, one new medium destroyer, one 305mm naval gun and eight twin 250mm naval guns on two new light destroyers, and a total of 52 150mm rapid-fire guns in the bow of ten new warships. At the same time, they aimed at the warships in the port of Arthur and opened fire.

For a time, the rumbling sound of artillery drowned out the sirens in the military port, and the shells made of TNT high-energy explosives whistled and almost all exploded on the Russian [***] ship.

The fire from the explosion complemented the light of the searchlight, and the interior of the general harbor was illuminated, which made the target of the 'Jiaolong' shelling more clear.

At a distance of 1,000 meters, many warships of the Russian Navy are more than 100 meters long and 20 meters wide, which is equivalent to hitting a huge fixed target at close range, and can hit the target almost with their eyes closed.

Until the 'Jiaolong' carried out a 30-minute artillery bombardment, the naval guns in the Russian port did not react.

In fact, at this point, most of the Russian naval officers and soldiers are still asleep, and a few people are also stupid by this sudden shelling, and more are 'immortal' in the artillery fire.

After another 10 minutes, Li Dingxin clearly observed that more than half of the warships in the military port had been lost, at least 10 warships had disappeared in the military port and sunk to the bottom of the sea, and more than 10 had completely lost their combat effectiveness, including two main battleships, three main cruisers, and four main destroyers.

Li Dingxin began to order in the wireless pager to hit the remaining main warships of the Russian army and the batteries of the Lushun Military Port on the other, and after more than 20 minutes, most of the main warships in the Russian port had been scrapped, and the remaining ones were only small cruisers, torpedo ships, minesweepers, and so on.

Subsequently, Li Dingxin ordered again that the 'Jiaolong' should be fully rudder on two sides, and the ten warships would start to turn the rudder in an arc from the left and right sides, and this time the rapid-fire guns on the sides of the battleships did not stop, and they fired at the opportunity.

A few minutes later, the 'Jiaolong' had already tailed towards the Lushun Military Port, and at this time, the searchlight of the military port had already been damaged, and most of the forts set up on the military port to defend the military port had also been destroyed, but the shelling of the 'Jiaolong' had not ended, and the searchlight at the stern of the ship was turned on.

Although the stern guns of the Jiaolong are twice as small as the bow, the firepower is still fierce.

While sailing away from the coastal waters of Lushun Military Port, the 'Jiaolong' adjusted its naval guns and rapid-fire guns to launch an artillery attack, and seven or eight times out of ten it could hit the target.

Until the 'Jiaolong' was more than 10,000 meters away from the Port of Arthur, the main naval guns of the medium battleships and the stern of the medium destroyers were still firing.

From beginning to end, the warships in the Lushun Military Port did not fire a single shot, and the Lushun Fort, which was mostly destroyed, could not hit the 'Jiaolong' because there was no searchlight to guide it.

When the 'Jiaolong' sailed 12,000 kilometers away from the Lushun military port, the shelling finally ended.

At this time, eighteen warships in the port of Arthur had been sunk, including four heavy warships.

Eight warships were badly damaged and could not leave the port at all.

Seven warships were damaged to varying degrees, and if they wanted to go to sea, they would have to go through at least two or three months of repair.

Only seven warships are still intact, but it is impossible for these seven warships to go to sea without the main warships, because these seven warships are simply torpedo ships, minesweepers, and several light cruisers, not even battleships.

Not only did the warship suffer serious damage, but the forts of the military port and the Russian navy were also seriously damaged, which means that after nearly two hours of shelling and sneak attack, the Lushun military port that the Russian army spent six or seven years to build was completely destroyed.

And the 'Jiaolong' seems to be like a dusty swordsman who comes and goes like the wind, and after going deep into the enemy's den to kill the Quartet, he drifts away, which is cleaner and neater than the naval attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States during World War II! (To be continued.) )
