Chapter Forty-Eight: Shameless Japan
The Japanese army, which had the advantage in numbers, coupled with their idiot suicide who was not afraid of death, finally made a gap in the Tsarist army, and the encirclement was broken in one fell swoop.
The defeat was like a mountain, most of the Russian soldiers kept retreating, and Lieutenant General Schöne did not dare to continue shooting even after killing a few retreating soldiers without any effect, who knows if those soldiers would go crazy and kill him, and no one would obey the order in front of his own life.
Those who really dare to fight bravely with the enemy are basically the lowest pariahs in the mouth of the tsar, they are all officers promoted by Lieutenant General Schoen regardless of their status, and they all follow the lieutenant general wholeheartedly, and they are grateful to whoever treats them well.
More and more Japanese soldiers rushed into the city, and after the encirclement of the Russian soldiers broke down, they entered the city as they wished, and even the fire burning everywhere could not suppress their excitement, and it seemed that they liked the current Vladivostok.
The resisting Russian soldiers quickly gave up the siege, they wanted to engage in street fighting with the enemy, and although the buildings in the city were bombed beyond recognition, with their familiarity with the area, it was still possible to engage in street fighting.
Vladivostok, known as the first fortified city in the Far East of Tsarist Russia, was breached, which was a shame for those soldiers who were loyal to the Tsar, who would rather die in battle than surrender in front of the enemy, they were ashamed of the Tsar, and only death could wash away their shame.
I have to say that no matter how corrupt and cowardly that dynasty or empire is, there will always be some people who are unswervingly loyal to that dynasty or empire.
The Japanese soldiers who entered the city excitedly searched for the enemy everywhere, but they did not know that a group of enemies who were even more cruel than them were waiting for them, and the hunter and the prey were sometimes interchangeable.
"Bang!"
A Japanese soldier's head blossomed, and a Russian soldier immediately changed places after firing a shot, and he wanted to use the few bullets on his body to try to bury the enemy as much as possible. This kind of thing is playing out throughout Vladivostok, and Lieutenant General Schöne has distributed all the remaining ammunition, and his order is to call all this ammunition to the despicable "Chinese army", and there is a tendency that you will not let me be better than me and I will not let you be better.
Ever since the city wall was blown out of the breach, Lieutenant General Schöne knew that he had failed, and he had already decided to die, and he scolded Huaxia for being despicable and shameless, and using some despicable means that could not be put on the table, and had no great power demeanor.
The Russian soldiers engaged in fierce street fighting with the Japanese soldiers, and the casualty rate of the Japanese soldiers who were unfamiliar with the streets skyrocketed, which made the officers who stormed the city extremely unhappy, and they began to kill prisoners of war to discourage. I saw rows of captured Russian soldiers squatting in place with their hands tied behind their own uniforms, and several Japanese officers rushed to the prisoners with the swords of the imperial representation and military attack.
A few more senior officers touched the place where they had shaved off their beards, and then rushed in as well, rushing more fiercely than the officer just now, and a killing contest began in a grand manner.
A skeleton was thrown up, and the rushing blood made these officers even more excited, which was much more exciting than the white and tender woman in Japanese Tsarist Russia, and perhaps addictive.
After seeing the "Chinese officers" slaughtering their unarmed compatriots, the captured Tsarist soldiers were completely frightened, and they tried to flee everywhere to avoid the massacres, but unfortunately they did not get rid of this terrible cage when they were trapped in the beasts, and the slaughter continued.
I have to say that those Tsarist Russian soldiers also broke out with extraordinary ruthlessness, they couldn't use their hands to resist, they used what they could use to resist, kicked, bitten with their mouths, hit with their bodies, and they wanted to drag some officers down to be buried. The smarter Russian soldiers used their mouths to bite the other soldier's bindings open, and then helped others to untie them, and a small number of people untied them.
The desire to survive or resist of the Tsarist soldiers made these Japanese officers even more excited, and the Japanese soldiers next to them also cheered loudly, and the good deeds even took out a pen and paper to calculate how much the general had killed, which would become their bragging capital after returning home.
A large number of Russian soldiers resisted and finally filled in the lives of several Japanese officers, which made the Japanese officers very angry, and after they quickly withdrew, they ordered the machine gunners next to them to open fire, and after a burst of machine gunfire, only rivers of blood and stumps were left all over the ground.
This situation was brought by a huge shock to some of the Russian soldiers who were watching from the nearby high-rise buildings and preparing to surrender, they bit their lips tightly, even if they were bleeding, they did not care, and tried their best not to cry out, and the tears kept falling.
Slowly, the news of the massacre of prisoners by the "Chinese army" circulated among the remaining Tsarist soldiers, and the ranks of Tsarist soldiers fighting in the streets were skyrocketing, which was not good news for the Japanese soldiers.
The officers who slaughtered the prisoners of Tsarist Russia in the city were directly criticized by Yusaku Uehara, and all their military ranks were reduced by two levels, and the slaughter of prisoners was also prohibited. If it was the Manchu Chinese who were before the massacre, he wouldn't say anything, but once the news of the massacre of the Tsarist Russian soldiers of the Entente member countries was exposed, the impact would definitely make the image of the empire plummet, and the consequences would be too severe.
The street fighting of the Russian soldiers did not save the defeat, but only slightly delayed the time for the Japanese army to occupy the entire city. After a large number of Japanese troops entered the city, street fighting became not so easy, and under the large-scale purge of Japanese soldiers, the Russian soldiers held out for half a day before they were all killed.
Lieutenant General Schoen in the office committed suicide by drinking a bullet, he finally couldn't let go of the empire's family to commit suicide, after committing suicide, he will become a hero, and his family will also be awarded the title of hero's family, the empire will not embarrass them, and will even take care of them more.
In this battle, only less than 30,000 soldiers of the 110,000 soldiers of Tsarist Russia were taken prisoner, thousands of prisoners were slaughtered, and the remaining Tsarist soldiers were all killed, which can be said to be a very tragic war.
Japan also paid 50,000 troops for this, and 20,000 soldiers were wounded, the biggest loss of which was the street fighting in the city, basically more than half of the army died in the street fighting, which made Uehara Yusaku very angry, this loss is too great!
After the occupation of Vladivostok, the Japanese army blocked the news, allowed to enter but not to leave, they found a telegraph machine from Tsarist Russia, which was the only telegraph machine that Lieutenant General Schöne had people repair, and also used this to continue to transmit news, but unfortunately the defeat was too fast, and he was robbed by the Japanese army before he could send the news of the failure.
After Katsura Taro got the news, he asked them to use the telegraph to continue to send telegrams to Tsarist Russia, the content of which was that the Chinese army rushed out from Jilin to surround Vladivostok, and the Chinese spies in the city wreaked havoc, and the soldiers shot the spies and killed the Japanese people by mistake, which aroused strong dissatisfaction in Japan.
Since the telegraph office had been destroyed, the telegram had to be relayed back through the nearby Jilin Tsarist Office, and the telegram appeared in Zhang Zuolin's hand.
Zhang Zuolin hurriedly sent this telegram and all the information collected to the central government, the matter of the Japanese besieging Vladivostok disguised as the Chinese army escaped Yan zhòng, it was not something he could handle, not to mention that Japan had already occupied Vladivostok, and the matter was big!
The next day, Japan officially announced that the Russian army had massacred Japanese citizens in Vladivostok, and the Japanese army arrived just in time when the Chinese army broke through Vladivostok, took over Vladivostok, and returned it to Tsarist Russia after investigating the massacre. At the same time, it was also announced that in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, the Vladivostok region, including Boli, would not allow the Chinese army to enter.
Although all countries know that many of the things announced by Japan cannot withstand scrutiny, they also do not know what happened in Vladivostok, and in their opinion, it is normal for China to avoid Japan at this time, but Japan's attitude is a little suspicious.
In fact, on the day of the breakthrough of Vladivostok, the Japanese army began to advance northward, and they wanted to control Zì Boli to the area of Vladivostok before the Chinese army.
"The hateful Japanese dare to disguise themselves as the imperial army to attack Vladivostok, what to take over, this is not to make it clear that the imperial army does not dare to start a war with Japan, I will settle this account, wait!" Qin Yu received the news from Japan and smashed the things in the study again, this is the second time he has been angry since yesterday, can he not be angry after being calculated by Little Japan?
Now that Japan is holding the black pot on China's head, the Chinese government has not made any statements to justify it, and this kind of thing is getting darker and darker, not to mention that China and Japan have an entente, and it is unwise to go to war with Japan during the decisive battle with Tsarist Russia, and they can only suffer dumb losses.
Han Ming, who had already entered Jilin from near Zhanxi and was about to rush, was very depressed, the Japanese had already captured Vladivostok, and he was still a few steps late, and the lame reason for the even more depressed Japan was simply full of loopholes in his opinion, and such a shameless thing was worthy of being Japanese.
Han Ming, who was hesitating to occupy Boli and other places before the Japanese, received Qin Yu's order that he should guard Boli and never let the Japanese continue to advance north across the Boli line, and at the same time said that he would continue to reinforce them.
Qin Yu wanted to send additional troops to defend the coast of the Far East of Tsarist Russia, and try to prevent the Japanese from advancing westward, which would be the territory of the empire and a key point in the war with Japan.
After the Japanese occupied Vladivostok, they used similar means to storm the island again, and it is believed that it will not be long before the entire island can be occupied. A steady stream of Japanese soldiers rushed to Vladivostok, Huatai Island and other places, which would be a springboard for them to invade the territory of Tsarist Russia, and the cold land was also land, and only by occupying more land could their vanity and greed be satisfied.
The foreign war has succeeded in attracting domestic conflicts, and a large number of merchants and refugees have embarked on ships to make a fortune in Vladivostok. Katsura Taro's pressure eased considerably, and his popularity rose considerably after he succeeded in capturing Vladivostok, and he was ready to deal with the Constitutionals and take the opportunity to weaken them.
