When the Hercules, Mercury, and Venus airships bombed the sixth mountain fortification on the outskirts of Vladivostok early in the morning of November 5, they were subjected to more Russian anti-aircraft fire than the day before, and the airbags of the two large airships were hit with air leaks in many places, and there were many holes in the airbags of the Hercules supership, so Zhang Guoxin, commander of the airship unit, had no choice but to order the three airships to withdraw to Russian Island.

After the 3 airships landed on Russky Island, Lin Daxin looked at the appearance of the 3 airships and shook his head helplessly, it seems that the Russians can really quickly transform the anti-aircraft guns in Vladivostok, and it is not easy to rely on the airships to blow up the mountain fortifications around Vladivostok.

Zhang Guoxin, who came down from the Hercules super airship, saw Lin Daxin, his face was a little embarrassed, yesterday he patted his chest and promised to blow up the turtle shells of the Russians outside Vladivostok, but the next day he became his own braggart.

Zhang Guoxin said helplessly: "Principal, the Russian anti-aircraft artillery has suddenly become stronger, and in order to prevent an accident on the airship, I have to order a temporary withdrawal." ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "You are right, these airships are now the treasures of our Northeast, and we can't afford to lose one, your 3 airships, and the Mars large airship that was damaged yesterday's airbags, also took off back to Shenyang immediately, went to the arsenal to repair the airbags, and then went to the chemical factory to fill up the helium inside, and the 4 airships led by Zhang Heng have returned to Shenyang." ”

Zhang Guoxin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Marshal, will our airship troops continue to come back to bomb the mountain fortifications on the outskirts of Vladivostok?" ”

Lin Daxin hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll think about it again, your airship troops are waiting for my order!" ”

Airships purchased from modern time and space, although the fastest super airships can reach 100 kilometers per hour, and large airships can reach speeds of 80 kilometers per hour, but the speed is still relatively slow compared to airplanes, and the volume is huge, and it is very easy to be hit by anti-aircraft guns.

Now the Russian army in Vladivostok has transformed a large number of anti-aircraft guns, and then continues to bombard the mountain fortifications on the periphery of Vladivostok with airships, the danger has increased a lot, Lin Daxin is not willing to damage any airship, these 8 can be called giant like air fortresses, because the crossing ring does not know when it will be restored, there is no way to replenish it from modern time and space, and if you lose one, you will lose one less one.

Moreover, the original purpose of capturing Vladivostok was to solve the Russian fleet in the port of Vladivostok, and now the Russian warships in the port have suffered heavy losses from airships, and there is no place at all that could threaten the Northeast Navy, plus the French Navy Expeditionary Fleet and the Russian European fleet have been almost completely annihilated, and the sea control has been completely in the hands of the Northeast Navy, and it is no longer so urgent to capture Vladivostok.

After all the airship troops left the Russian Island, Lin Daxin thought about it for a long time and issued a series of orders.

First of all, Lin Daxin ordered the warships of the three fleets of the Northeast Navy, which were seriously wounded, to return to the Dalian shipyard with the captured French warships and Russian warships for repairs, and the other warships of the three fleets continued to blockade the waters outside the port of Vladivostok, and not a single ship was allowed to enter the port of Vladivostok, nor was it allowed to let a single ship come out of the port of Vladivostok.

Then Lin Daxin gave an order to several divisions of the Dingbei Army on the periphery of Vladivostok to continue to besiege Vladivostok and strictly prevent the Russian army in Vladivostok from breaking through, and not allowing a grain to enter Vladivostok.

Lin Daxin also sent a telegram to the four B divisions, the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th divisions in Hailanpao, ordering the 17th and 18th divisions to remain in Hailanpao, while the 19th and 20th divisions rushed to Kulen in Outer Mongolia as a reserve for the six divisions of the Dingbei Army in Darkhan City to deal with the increasing number of Russian troops in Outer Mongolia.

After receiving Lin Daxin's telegram, several division commanders of the Dingbei Army on the periphery of Vladivostok couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other, it seems that it is impossible to storm Vladivostok! Their headmaster absolutely could not accept the capture of Vladivostok with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of his life, and now he was reluctant to even give up airships, so they had 1 guard division, 3 A integrated divisions, and 2 B divisions, so they had to continue to dig trenches around Vladivostok, preparing to besiege Vladivostok for a long time until the day when Vladivostok ran out of ammunition and food.

Since it had been decided to continue to use siege tactics against Vladivostok, there would be no fighting here in Vladivostok for a while, so Lin Daxin took the wounded all-steel battleship Shenyang, together with other wounded warships of the Northeast Navy, and returned to the Lushun base with the captured French warships and Russian warships.

After Lin Daxin arrived at the Lushun base, he did not return to Shenyang immediately, but waited at the Lushun base for the news that the Fourth and Fifth Fleets had intercepted the remnants of French and Russian warships.

Within a few days, Lin Daxin received the good news that made him smile, the Fourth Fleet of the Northeast Navy was in the Korean Strait, and the Fifth Fleet of the Northeast Navy was in the Xisha Islands, and the two fleets did not fight at all, and captured 4 all-steel battleships of the French Navy and the Russian Navy, 1 large fast armored cruiser, as well as 2 protective cruisers and 3 destroyers.

In this way, the French Navy Expeditionary Fleet and the Second Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy were captured by the Northeast Navy, with a total of 12 all-steel battleships, 5 large fast armored cruisers, 3 ironclad battleships, 6 protective cruisers, 11 destroyers, 6 torpedo boats, and 45 supply transport ships.

The warships of the other 2 fleets, except for the French Navy's 1 all-steel battleship Cecilia and 1 large fast armored cruiser Madeleine, fled to Da Nang in the French colony of Vietnam, and the rest were sunk in the Ussuri Bay. The losses of the Northeast Navy were simply insignificant compared to the results achieved.

The news of this explosion almost swept across the world, making countless people fall through the glasses, the world's two major naval powers, France and Russia, united, the elite of the navy, and finally was Lin Daxin's Northeast Navy, oh, plus a few behemoth-like airships, in one day, almost all annihilated.

What even the world's most powerful British Royal Navy could not do, was actually done by Lin Daxin, and all of a sudden the pattern of the world's navy was disrupted, and various undercurrents were surging around the world.

In the Elysee Palace in the 8th district of Paris, France, in the office of the French president, French President Faure, Vice President Lubet, and Navy Minister Grevy, the three of them looked very ugly at this time, and no one spoke for a long time, and a telegram was placed on the desk in the room.

This telegram was sent by François, commander of the French Naval Expeditionary Fleet, from Da Nang, Vietnam, to France, and the content was to tell the French that the most powerful naval fleet in the history of France had been almost completely wiped out, and only one all-steel battleship Cecilia and one large fast armored cruiser Madeleine escaped back to Da Nang, and the other warships were either sunk or captured by the Northeast Navy, and more than 40,000 French naval officers and men were either killed or captured.

The telegram also described the defeat in the naval battle, focusing on the bombing by airships, and in the telegram François said that he was willing to take responsibility for the almost total annihilation of the expeditionary fleet.

French President Faure first broke the calm and said: "2 gentlemen, it has now reached a very critical moment in France, the essence of our powerful French navy has been completely lost in the first battle against the Northeast Navy, and it will be difficult for our navy to recover its vitality for at least a few years!" We must take measures to face various unfavorable situations that may arise in the future, and we must also study ways to deal with Lin Daxin. ”

Vice President Lubet sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty people could actually build airships for war and bomb warships from the air, so that our French Navy's efforts for many years were all in vain, and our naval strength could definitely compete with the German Navy and the Northeast Navy for the second navy in the world, and now our navy may not even be able to enter the top 10 of the world's navies." What is even more serious is that if Lin Daxin sends a navy and army to attack our Asian colonies, with the strength of our Asian colonial fleets and Asian colonial armies in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, it will be a disaster for our Indochina alliance. ”

As the French Minister of the Admiralty, Grevy's face was even more gloomy, and his voice was a little hoarse and said: "After this catastrophic defeat, our navy has indeed been fundamentally injured, and only one of the latest all-steel battleships has escaped back, even the ironclad battleships add up to only 8, and there are 5 large fast armored cruisers, and the new main warships of our French Navy will not be put into service until at least the end of next year, if Lin Daxin's navy attacks our colonial fleet in Asia, the losses of our navy will definitely continue to increase." The problem is that even if we send all the remaining warships of our French Navy to Asia, there is no way to defeat Lin Daxin's Northeast Navy. ”

President Faure sighed and said: "The situation of the navy can no longer be lost, and we cannot send more land in the face of the distant Asian colonies, so it seems that we can only contact the British and let the British help us keep the Indochina Union." ”

Vice President Lube frowned and said, "British? Will they help us? ”

President Faure said in an affirmative tone: "The British do not want Lin Daxin to dominate in Asia, Lin Daxin has already occupied the Philippines, if they occupy our French Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, it will border the British in Asia Burma colony, and Malaysia and Singapore will pose a threat to the British, the British must not want to have Lin Daxin such a neighbor by their side." ”R1152
