Vladivostok is getting hot and dry in the middle of May, and it is only in the early morning that you can feel cool. The cool sea breeze blows and caresses the sleeping city. Even the harbor was quiet, and there was not a single pedestrian on the pier. On the surface of the harbor, several freighters leaned together. The tall booms on the freighters were learned from the Qing people, because when the freighters had these booms, they could better replenish the warships at sea.

Joseph was just the head of one of the cargo ships, and it was supposed to be the damned yellow pigs who were supposed to get up and cook in the morning. But last night they all went ashore to go shopping, and this time they didn't return all night than they used to come back drunk. These Qing pigs didn't know where they were drunk, so they had to get up early the next morning to cook by himself. Joseph thought angrily that he would break their hands when those Qing people returned. Thinking of this, Joseph shook his head again, and broke their hands, and they would not be able to cook, and they would not be able to cook themselves. Forget it, the food cooked by those Qing people is still good, especially the young man who has only been here for more than a month. Tell the captain to let them wash the deck.

Joseph stretched out against the cool sea breeze and looked at the quiet city and the mountains in the distance. He turned around and went into the room. He said to himself: The smoke is the signal that this military port, which was described by the nobles as the first fortress in the Far East, is slowly waking up.

What he didn't know was that it was in the woods of the high mountains that he was looking at. The men who he had said were about to wash the deck were gathering.

", why am I cooking again? Lao Tzu has been cooking for Russian Maozi for more than a month, and Lao Tzu has long been tired of cooking. Zhao Ru's face was full of unhappiness and began to stir firewood to make breakfast. It is an uninhabited hut on the hill. Originally, it was lived in winter by hunters who went up to the mountains to hunt. Now they are theirs.

"Boss, who told you to make the best food?" In the room, five other young men of the same age chuckled quietly.

"Know I'm the head. I don't know how to take a picture of my ass. Zhao Ru was very dissatisfied with the performance of these people: "All the telegraph lines have been cut, right?" ”

As a Navy SEAL special forces unit, they had been here three months ago, and after a month of field exploration, their team not only found all the telegraph lines in Vladivostok with the cooperation of other teams, but also went into the harbor to find out the location of all the dock warehouses, especially those containing munitions. When he was told the night before that they were all going to leave within 24 hours, he understood. The navy was going to attack this morning, so when he was done, he took his team to the top of the hill with the best view. Watch the navy's attack and make a post-war damage report on Vladivostok.

"Don't worry, sir. We, along with other groups, have confirmed this twice. Besides, it's not that we don't want to help you do it, but the main thing is that we don't make it as delicious as yours. At that time, I won't be slapping you on the back, but going to be kicked in the ass. ”

"Get out." Zhao Ru continued the breakfast in his hand with a dark face. His mother named him Confucian, hoping that he could study hard to become a great Confucian and glorify his ancestors. I didn't expect him to read badly, but he shot well. Clever and clever, he was finally chosen by the navy. became the eyes and ears of the Navy on land. The porridge in the pot has been boiled. When the lid is opened, the rice fragrance overflows. Survival in the wild is already a heavenly life with such a pot of gruel. Looking at the brothers who were all holding big bowls and blowing hot air, he didn't say a word anymore: "Don't patronize and eat, leave someone to watch." Before he could finish speaking, a huge explosion was heard.

A series ......of huge explosions woke Vladivostok from its sleep, and the tree surrounded by several people was broken off at the waist, and the debris and sawdust were raised high by the huge shock wave of the explosion, and then fell heavily to the ground. The screams and whistles were as insignificant as the loud explosions in the camp in the harbor. The doors were pushed open one by one. The disheveled Russian soldiers frantically searched for a place to hide. The shells that landed in the camp raised a huge fireball, and the air wave from the explosion also lifted the people next to them high.

"The main guns of each ship concentrated on attacking the shore defense batteries. Knock out all defenses. The destroyer was ready for a surprise attack. Wu Deren looked at the city shrouded in smoke and gave the order.

Just twenty minutes after the start of the shelling, a large bag suddenly bulged into the hill of the battery on the left side of Vladivostok, and an armor-piercing shell smashed through the dirt that had been peeled off a layer of earth and smashed into the ammunition depot, detonating the entire ammunition depot from the inside. After an earth-shattering bang, I watched as the heavy cannon was thrown high and smashed down the hill with countless rolling stones and trees.

The Russians who were attacked by surprise in the early morning were completely unprepared, and the four battleships and four heavy cruisers in charge of the shelling were all within 3,000 meters of the shore before firing, and at such a close distance, there were detailed coordinates of the shelling. The accuracy of the hit can definitely be greatly improved, watching the targets on the map disappear into the fire ball one by one, Wu Deren gave the order to rush into the bay: "Order the destroyer to break into the harbor, and the second ship of Dingzhen is ready to follow up." ”

As the agile and agile second ship hung the trawl net and marched towards the harbor at high speed, the Dingzhen and Zhen two ships also began to turn, and the bow of the ship directly entered the port channel.

"Your Excellency......" The guards knocked open the door of the Governor-General's room, and saw that it was Aleksayev, the former Governor of the Far East of Tsarist Russia, who was wearing a nightgown and was trying to burrow under the bed, but his fat body restricted his movements. A huge ass suit was still writhing back and forth on the edge of the bed.

Who is attacking Vladivostok? Aleksayev could not understand who would dare to provoke the great Tsarist Russia at this time. Awakened by the roar of artillery fire, he cursed the damn bastard as he quickly shoved himself under the bed and picked up the telegram. At the moment, he was holding the motor and croaking wildly.

"Who is attacking us...... What the? The smoke is too big to see clearly...... Order the battery to fire at once, and sink me whoever he is...... Can't get in touch with the battery? Then send someone to run over, if I don't see the battery fire in a minute. I'll hang you pig in the harbor...... Grass, dare to hang up on me......" Aleksayev constantly answered the phone in various parts of the fortress, and every time he made a call, he had to scold. The batteries could not be contacted, the barracks were in disarray, and the only second-class battleship in the harbor was still in boiler......

"My lord, please take shelter in the bunker immediately." Seeing that the governor had finally put down the phone, the guards hurriedly handed over their military uniforms and helmets. Aleksayev put on his military uniform, pressed his helmet on his head and left with the guards.

Aleksayev, who had just run out of the gate of the Governor's Palace, was stunned by the sight before him, and the batteries on both sides of the harbor had already been covered with artillery fire. Especially the turret to his right, he watched as the cannon flew into the sky after a loud bang. Only a deep black hole remains.

"Order all batteries to fire, all deep batteries to fire......" Aleksayev ordered tremblingly, not waiting for him to finish. In the harbor filled with gunpowder in front of them, two huge figures rushed out of the smoke. As the firelight on the decks of the two warships flickered, the already inclined second-class battleship could no longer be stopped and fell into the sea.

The two warships that are becoming clearer and clearer not far away are the Dingzhen No. 2 ship. Aleksayev could never admit his mistake. These two warships in the entire Far East were the only ones with their main guns mounted on the foredeck.

"Damn. It's a Qing countryman. Didn't they go to the Guangxu Islands? How did they suddenly get here? The roaring Alekseev watched more and more shells fall, and he no longer dared to give orders in the street, and under the protection of the soldiers, he quickly ran to the nearest bunker.

Hundreds of tons of ammunition have been projected from the enemy's unprepared sneak attack, 3,000 meters of close-range artillery bombardment, and half an hour of indiscriminate bombardment. Under the attack of high-explosive shells, armor-piercing shells, and incendiary bombs, such conditions could not destroy the enemy's batteries, so all the gunners could throw them into the sea to feed the fish.

Start with Chile. From Hawaii to the shelling of Japan's coastline, nearly 100 projections were made on the Diaoyu Islands, which were used for artillery training. Gunners who have fired at fixed targets countless times have long summed up their own set of experience. The fort, which had been shelled for half an hour, was already filled with gunsmoke. I can't see the damage clearly. Judging from the fact that the other side did not return a single shot, the fort had long been abandoned. Although the pre-war intelligence stated that there were no mines in the air, Wu Deren still let the sensitive and agile second ship enter the port first for the sake of safety. Now three minutes have passed, and Wu Deren ordered the second ship of Dingzhen to enter the port. There was no sign of any mine-laying, but he remained on high alert, knowing that the threat was far greater underwater than on land. Now that there is no underwater threat, only artillery batteries on land remain. The main guns were destroyed, and all the marked batteries were destroyed before they even had a chance to fire, but who can guarantee that not a single or two fish slipped through the net. Especially the kind of large-caliber artillery, which only needs one shell to solve a destroyer of only a few hundred tons. To put it bluntly, these two destroyers are decoys for mine detection and testing of deep firepower. Only these two decoys did not seem to work, and not a single shell was fired. Is the bait not attractive enough? Then let the Dingzhen No. 2 ship in, but there was still no response.

"Order, the four heavy cruisers will stay on guard, and the rest of the ships will all enter the harbor to attack."

Surrounded by light cruisers, the Dragon took the lead and headed for the depths of the harbor. The other ships followed the track of the previous ship one by one.

Could it be that all the batteries in the entire Vladivostok were destroyed? Of course not, no matter how powerful your special forces are, it is impossible not to find everything without missing everything. What's more, this is still an experimental version of the special forces. In an unnoticed corner of the far side of the pier, there is a large hole hidden in the solid rock, and this is the only shelter left in Vladivostok at the moment. Aleksayev, who was in the observation window of the bunker, watched more and more of the **** ships raging in the harbor, and his face became whiter and paler. The sinking of the Japanese Combined Fleet created the Qing Dynasty's Wild Dragon Naval Flag. Since then, the golden dragon rising from the blue sea has been known to the world. Now, once again, it roams the fortresses of Tsarist Russia in the Far East.

Sure enough, it's Qing Guoren, and it's really these shameless guys. From a surprise attack on the Japanese fleet to a surprise attack on the Japanese seaports, they retreated in the face of the heavily guarded batteries of the Kapo waterway. This despicable fleet has always been a sneak attack since its appearance, and now they have once again attacked Vladivostok in a dastardly and shameless manner. Looking at the mess inside and outside the fortress, Aleksayev's teeth were about to crush. He also had a 150-mm rapid-fire gun in his company, and the officer next to him hesitated when he repeatedly asked if he would return fire. He understood that as long as he dared to fire the first shot, he would be met with countless heavy artillery fire in return.

Aleksayev finally did not give the order to attack, listening to the huge explosion that sounded when the ammunition warehouse on the shore was ignited. Aleksayev sat weakly and fell to the ground, he understood that Vladivostok was over. It will not work for at least three years, and the Russian Far Eastern Fleet by this time has become a duckweed without roots.

"Ordered to stop shelling." Wu Deren watched all the marked locations on the map be crossed out and did not wait for the enemy's counterattack, he issued a retreat order: "Order to come to Yuanjing and continue to shell all high-rise buildings after the two ships are delayed." The other ships were evacuated from Vladivostok. In his opinion, the battle for the assault on Vladivostok is over. Vladivostok is the largest port and supply base in the Russian Far East, and if it is destroyed, the Russian Far East Fleet will not be far from being destroyed. There is no port to replenish, no dock to repair the ship, and the only way to sink the fleet is to sink it.

Vladivostok already had valuable targets, but the second ship was still firing one cannon after another, as if it were conducting shooting exercises. On the bridge of the Laiyuan ship, Captain Qiu Baoren looked at the devastated harbor and sighed deeply to his first mate Xie Baozhang: "Since the formation of the Beiyang Naval Division, all the artillery shells trained are not as large as the amount of artillery shelling in one day today. There is no reason why such a fleet is not strong. ”

"Who's to say it's not." Xie Baozhang nodded: "Before I saw the Pacific Fleet's artillery training, I always thought that our Beiyang gunners had already experienced a lot of harm. I didn't get along, compared to others, we were just a rookie. ”

Qiu Baoren sighed, the emperor is interested in the Pacific Fleet. Although the salaries and silver are the same, the equipment and food of the people are better than those of other fleets, and the training is also very hard. A qualified gunner, from fixed guns to mobile guns, from shore-based guns to naval guns, from fixed targets to mobile targets, and even deliberately going to sea for training in windy and rough weather, this hardship alone is not something that many officers in Beiyang can endure. So what can the emperor say about other people's partiality.

"Stop shooting, check the ammunition stock. Now let's go. Qiu Baoren saw that the main force of the fleet had all left the port, so he ordered the last two warships to leave the port.

"Don't worry, my lord, before the start of this battle, I ordered that only half of the ammunition should be used. We're just halfway there. "The gun commander stepped forward to report that he had never had such a fun fight for many years.

"That's good. Let the brethren rest well, and then together we will sink all the warships of the Russian Maozi. ”

The four destroyers that remained at the rear threw all the mines they were carrying in the harbor and pursued the fleet that had already gone away. (To be continued......)
