The Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy, consisting of the ironclad battleships Flying Eagle and Flying Wolf, eliminated the warships of the Japanese Navy outside the Wild Boar River Pier, while destroyers and torpedo boats also pursued and destroyed the scattered Japanese transports.

The Flying Eagle and the Flying Wolf, as well as 4 anti-several fast protection cruisers, aimed their naval guns at the Wild Boar River Wharf, and then there was a wild and indiscriminate bombardment, plowing the entire Wharf of the Wild Boar River with cannonballs, and the Japanese supplies and ammunition piled up on the Wharf were also bombed into debris, especially the Japanese ammunition was detonated by the shells, leaving nothing for the Japanese except for a few large deep pits.

After that, the six warships aimed at the Japanese barracks near the Wild Boar River Wharf, and there was another wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, although the Japanese officers and men inside had all withdrawn, but some of the materials and ammunition in the barracks that had not been transferred in a hurry were destroyed by heavy shelling.

Not to mention the sinking of more than a dozen Japanese warships outside the Wild Boar River wharf, the Sixth Fleet's bombardment of transport ships brought huge losses to the Japanese Army of more than 30,000 missing and killed, which was equivalent to the loss of one and a half divisions and regiments at once.

There were still many Japanese army officers and soldiers who dragged the blown wooden planks and floated on the surface of the sea for a night, and were rescued by more than a dozen transport ships that were spared the next day, but fortunately it was September and the weather was not cold. Otherwise, the losses of the Japanese army would have to increase.

Oyama Yan, commander of the Northern Dispatch Army of Japan, looked at the Japanese officers and soldiers who walked down from more than a dozen transport ships one by one with a gloomy face, turned his head and said to Dazuo beside him: "Convey my orders to all divisions." Cancel the original attack plan, and report to the domestic base camp about the attack we had received last night. I ask the navy to guarantee the safety of our sea routes, and at the same time hope that the base camp will send some more troops to our northern Chinese army! ”

Oyama Iwa was now very worried about the situation of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, and he recognized from his warships that the Northeast Navy, which attacked them yesterday, was the Sixth Fleet, and since the Sixth Fleet, which had been severely damaged by the Combined Fleet's sneak attack, dared to swagger out of Vladivostok Harbor, it would mean that the Combined Fleet would most likely suffer a loss in the decisive battle between the Combined Fleet and the three main fleets of the Northeast Navy.

If the combined fleet loses a lot of money, then it will be equivalent to the control of the sea by the Northeast Navy, and this war will still be the same as the last war, that is, the officers and men of the army will fight bravely. It will also fail in the end because of the lack of reinforcements and supplies.

Dashan Rock had already planned in his heart that if the Combined Fleet really suffered a crushing defeat, then he would lead his troops to withdraw from the Far Eastern Province and persuade His Majesty the Emperor to end this war with Lin Daxin.

Although the 25th, 26th, and 27th Divisions at Bokou Castle on Sakhalin Island captured Bokou Castle and Port in the Battle of Bokou, they suffered heavy casualties and could only report the situation of the three divisions to the Japanese base camp in Tokyo. It was hoped that the base camp would replenish the forces of the 3 divisions and continue the offensive to the north of Sakhalin.

The Japanese base camp received the report of the battle for Bokou and quickly dispatched 2 Japanese divisions, the 28th Division and the 29th Division, which were already on standby in Hokkaido. On the morning of September 18, the Japanese base camp arrived at the port of Bokou by transport ship, hoping to take Sakhalin Island, where the Dingbei Army had few troops.

On the day they arrived at Bokou City, the 28th and 29th Divisions joined the 25th and 26th Divisions. More than 70,000 troops were concentrated and marched to Yuanfeng City, 30 kilometers away, leaving the 27th Division, which suffered the heaviest casualties, to guard Bokou City and Bokou Port.

There were more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Northeast Sea and Land who retreated from Bokou City and Bokou Port to Yuanfeng City. Plus the 1 Marine Corps and 1 Dingbei Army Independent Garrison Regiment that have already been in Yuanfeng City, as well as the 1 regiment that has been transported by airship to the Guards Division in the past few days. The strength of the regular army of Yuanfeng City reached more than 7,000 people, only one-tenth of the strength of the Japanese army besieging the city.

From noon on September 18, under the cover of army artillery, the four divisions of the Japanese army began to storm Yuanfeng City day and night, bringing great pressure to the defenders of Yuanfeng City.

On the morning of September 19, the Hercules, Helios, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Uranus sent 1,000 officers and men of the Guards Division to Yuanfeng City, and at the same time bombed the Japanese troops who were besieging the city with 100 kilograms of bombs carried by the airship itself.

Although the bombing of the airship brought great casualties to the Japanese army, it did not expect that the four divisions of the Japanese army were equipped with so many anti-aircraft guns, which could add up to 60, and these anti-aircraft guns were all made of 47 mm special armor-piercing shells, which suddenly made the airship units of the Northeast Air Force suffer a big loss.

All 6 airships were injured, and this time the 4 large airships not only leaked the airbags, but also the 65 mm thick alloy armor installed in the gondola compartment below was leaked through several holes, causing a lot of losses to the personnel in the airship, but fortunately it did not hit the bombs and other important parts inside.

Thanks to Zhang Guoxin, the commander of the airship unit, he immediately ordered the 6 airships to retreat, and if it was a little later, maybe here, Lin Daxin's baby airship would have to lose 1 or 2 ships.

Without this episode of the airship, the four divisions of the Japanese army began to continue the frantic attack, especially some 5-ton light tanks transported by the Japanese army to Sakhalin Island, which also drove to the city of Yuanfeng, and cooperated with the Japanese infantry to launch an attack, which doubled the pressure on the defenders.

On the afternoon of the 20th, the two positions established by the Dingbei Army and the Marine Corps outside Yuanfeng City were all lost, and the defenders retreated to the city fortifications to continue to resist the Japanese army, at this time the regular army of Yuanfeng City was less than 4,000 people, plus the 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Guards Division who were transported over on the morning of the 19th, the regular army of Yuanfeng City had lost more than half.

Of course, the losses of the Japanese army were even greater, the number of dead exceeded 20,000, and more than 3,000 people were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness, and they lost 19 light tanks, you must know that these 4 divisions and regiments, plus the light tanks of the 27th Division guarding Bokou City, a total of only 25, the production of light tanks produced by Japan is strictly insufficient, these 5 divisions, each division is only 5 light tanks, only the top standing divisions, with more light tanks.

Although the losses were not small, the Japanese army that attacked the four divisions of Yuanfeng City still had 50,000 people, so the onslaught did not end, and the Japanese troops of the four divisions continued to attack the fortifications of Yuanfeng City.

On the morning of the 21st, the city defense fortifications of Yuanfeng City became a little precarious because of the great losses of the officers and men of the Dingbei Army and the Marine Corps, and at this time, Wang Youlin, the commander of the 1st Marine Brigade of Yuanfeng City, had no choice but to send 12 militia companies with a temporary number of 1,500 people to the city defense fortifications, so that the battle line was more stable.

However, the 12 militia companies were selected from the new immigrants who had not undergone militia training, and it didn't take half a day for these immigrants from the customs to withstand such a brutal battle and such huge casualties, and some people began to throw down their guns and flee into Yuanfeng City.

In just half a day, there are less than 800 militiamen of 1,500 left, and they can't complain about the militia who fled, they were ordinary people a few days ago.

But not all the living militia fled, and most of them were still holding on to the fortifications with the officers and soldiers of the Dingbei Army and the Marine Corps.

Wang Youlin, the commander of the defense of Yuanfeng City, saw the situation of the city fortifications, especially the city fortifications that had become dilapidated under the fire of the Japanese army, and began to prepare for street fighting.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 21st, the Hercules supership and the Helios supership, which had only been leaked by airbags a few days ago, returned to Yuanfeng City after emergency repairs, and sent another 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Guards Division and some ammunition supplies to Yuanfeng City.

1,000 officers and men of the Guards Division immediately threw themselves into the fortifications of the city, suppressing the Japanese offensive again.

However, the Japanese army relied on the strength of the crowd, and kept launching turns to attack, in the night of the 21st, this kind of attack did not stop, and finally in the early morning of the 22nd, the city fortifications of Yuanfeng City were broken through by the Japanese army, and the defenders of less than 3,000 people retreated into Yuanfeng City, ready to start street battles with the Japanese army, these defenders also included hundreds of militiamen who had just used guns for a few days.

But after the Japanese army broke through the fortifications of the city, they did not continue to attack Yuanfeng City, but hurriedly withdrew to the direction of Bokou City with wounded soldiers and baggage.

As the commander of Yuanfeng City, Wang Youlin, looking at the actions of the Japanese army, guessed that the reinforcements sent by the principal were about to arrive, otherwise the Japanese army could not give up Yuanfeng City, which was about to arrive. Wang Youlin was already ready to give the Japanese army a certain amount of casualties in the street battle, and then led the remnants to retreat to Lanyu Town, which was more than 20 kilometers to the north, and continued to block the Japanese army in Lanyu Town.

Soon after the Japanese retreated, Wang Youlin finally learned from the telegram why the Japanese army had retreated, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fleets of the Northeast Navy had defeated the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy near Tsushima Island, and were now escorting three divisions of the Dingbei Army to Sakhalin Island.

The four Japanese divisions attacking Yuanfeng City did receive an order from the base camp to ask them to immediately board ships and leave Sakhalin Island and withdraw to Hokkaido on the Japanese mainland, otherwise when the Northeast Navy arrived, their five divisions would definitely be cut off from the supply channel and the support channel, and they would be surrounded and annihilated on Sakhalin Island by the Dingbei Army.

What kind of city is this? Run! The remnants of the Japanese army of 5 divisions boarded the transport ship from the port of Hakuguchi and withdrew to Hokkaido. (To be continued......)
