Chapter 47: The Burning Vladivostok (Part II)

Countless shells continued to pour down into the city, and the city was in a sea of fire, and the improvised firefighters of the Russian soldiers were not able to effectively stop the spread of the fire, because their water source was insufficient, not to mention that they had to defend the city for several months, and they could only extinguish the fire with other things.

Lieutenant General Schöne is very bored now, if the "Huaxia army" continues to bomb like this, he doesn't know how long the soldiers and people in the city can hold out, and in a few days when the Huaxia airships arrive, the bombing intensity will become even stronger.

Now the Russian army in Vladivostok has no way out, there are still Chinese troops in the north, Jilin in the west, Zhang Zuolin will not allow them to enter Jilin, as for the warships of the "Huaxia Navy" on the sea, they will not let them escape by sea, and there is also the "Huaxia army" that closely surrounds them.

Saying that reinforcements would arrive in three months was just a lie on his part to stabilize these soldiers, and it would be difficult for Grand Duke Nicholas to defeat the army of the Chinese Empire, and there was basically zero hope of sending troops to the farthest frontier of the empire.

Lieutenant General Schöne was smoking an expensive cigar in his office in the bomb shelter, not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking, the ashtray on the desk was full of cigarette butts, and the office was full of smoke.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, he snuffed out his cigarette butt and took a sip of water and shouted to please come in, and then looked at the map on the table and studied it affectionately, he didn't want his subordinates to see his decadent appearance just now.

An officer pushed open the door and walked in, saluted, and said: "Report to the general, the Japanese ambassador asked to see him, and he also brought a few people, saying that there was an important matter to talk to the general, and that it was a major matter related to the whole of Vladivostok." ”

Lieutenant General Schönn didn't know what kind of wine was being sold in the Japanese pot, but he was very concerned about the major events related to Vladivostok, and the current major events were nothing more than the major events of the attack of the Chinese army.

"Let him in, I'll see what you can do." Lieutenant General Schöne said as if he was very angry. In fact, he knew that the Japanese absolutely had some collusion with the Chinese, and now his crisis was also the responsibility of their Japan, how could the Chinese warships appear in the Sea of Japan, and how could the Chinese army appear in the south of Vladivostok?

The Japanese ambassador walked in with a few people, and as soon as he came in, he said with a worried expression: "Lieutenant General Schöne, there has just been news from the country that if you do not surrender in three days, the Chinese army will slaughter the city, everyone in the city will be killed, and Vladivostok will be erased from the map." ”

"What? Does the Chinese army really dare to do this, are they not afraid of being sanctioned by the whole world? Although Lieutenant General Schöne said so on the surface, he didn't think so in his heart, he thought that the Japanese were helping the Chinese army to persuade them to surrender, and the nascent Chinese Empire did not dare to do such an evil thing as slaughtering the city.

Seeing Lieutenant General Schoen's surprised expression, the Japanese ambassador was very satisfied, and continued to flicker: "Yes, this is the news that the empire spent a lot of effort to get, how can you be afraid of slaughtering the city if you can do anything about buying and selling the city, the empire was ready to evacuate the imperial citizens from Vladivostok, but the Chinese empire actually refused the empire's request to let go."

Now the only way to protect the citizens of the Great Japanese Empire is for the general to surrender to our empire, that is, to temporarily entrust Vladivostok to our country, and then return our country to you in the future, so that the Chinese Empire will not dare to slaughter the city, or even withdraw its army. Another advantage is to ensure the safety of the general, the Chinese Empire does not dare to go to war with our country, and it is not a wise choice to go to war with the two countries at the same time. ”

The Japanese ambassador did not finish his words, and the rest was left to Schönzhong to think about himself, and he secretly thought that the white race was very afraid of death, and as long as he grasped this, he could complete his task.

After listening to this, Lieutenant General Schönn finally understood what the Japanese were fighting, this is to cut off the beard, want to eat ready-made rice, what will be returned later, etc., absolutely unbelievable, the Japanese are too shameless.

"No, this is an act of treason, how can you tell us to see Your Majesty, I can't do such a thing, even if I die in battle, I can't be a traitor. We still have a chance, the Empire's reinforcements will definitely come, as long as we survive this time, we will be able to get through this crisis, thank you for your kindness. Lieutenant General Schönn refused without hesitation, joking, this kind of thing cannot be done even if you die.

"This is a good opinion, if this place is occupied by the Chinese Empire, it will become the territory of the Chinese Empire, and if it is entrusted to our country, this is still the territory of your country, please think twice!" The Japanese ambassador saw that Schine disagreed, and said it again, the last few words in a slightly heavier tone.

Lieutenant General Schoen vetoed them again and unceremoniously sent them out, not wanting to waste his saliva with them. He didn't ask about the Japanese Huaxia Army just now because he didn't want to listen to the Japanese talk about anything, because he knew that the Japanese would definitely push it to other reasons, such as the Huaxia Navy fleet was accidentally put in, and so on.

The explosion of the shells outside continued, and the explosions became more and more dense, as if the shells of Huaxia were frantically smashing into the city without money, and there was a momentum that would not stop until the buildings in the city were destroyed.

The fires caused by the explosion of shells outside have spread everywhere, and the Russian soldiers have also found that some "Chinese spies" are fueling the fire and preventing fires.

Lieutenant General Schöne was not surprised when he received the news, which he expected, and even knew that there must be a Japanese shadow in it, but he was still very angry, so he ordered the white and yellow people to be separated from the shells, which was easy to manage.

Teams of Russian soldiers of makeshift firefighters were struggling to extinguish the fire outside the material storage, and some Russian soldiers were looking for the people who set the fire, and just as they were saving the supplies, the weapons warehouses were greeted with a batch of very horrific human bombs.

I saw that one by one the "Chinese people", who looked basically about 1.6 meters tall, rushed to the warehouse with explosives bags strapped to their bodies, and although the Russian soldiers outside resisted, they all died together with those "Chinese people".

"Boom! Rumble! Several earth-shattering voices sounded, and Lieutenant General Schoen quickly ran out of the bomb shelter, only to see that the fire in the direction of the arsenal in the south city was burning through half of Vladivostok City, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"General, it's not good, the Nancheng arsenal was blown up by Huaxia's spies, and it was all a warehouse of bullets, grenades and shells!" An officer ran over crying and shouted.

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Schoen spurted out a mouthful of blood, and almost fainted to the ground, but the soldiers next to him hurriedly supported him, this news was simply his life, and he had been praying to God not to be those ammunition warehouses, but he didn't expect it to be as he wished.

"Send me the remaining weapons warehouses, including the warehouses of grain and so on, to defend them to the death, if there are any more losses, I will kill you, and the rest of the news is not to spread these news and disturb the morale of the army." Lieutenant General Schoen said weakly.

After hearing this, several officers next to him hurriedly went down to make arrangements, if they went on another business trip, His Excellency the lieutenant general would really kill them, they hated those Chinese spies very much.

The yellow people in the city, whether they were Chinese or Japanese, were slaughtered by Yan Zòng again, and as long as they did not enter the bomb shelter inside the city and were running around outside, they were directly killed, whether they were spies or not.

Lieutenant General Schoen knew that the Huaxia spies must have been fully prepared, otherwise how could they even know about the warehouse where they placed their ammunition, damn who betrayed the location of the warehouse, and who was planning these things?

The "Chinese army" outside the city launched a fierce attack again, as if they already knew about the bombing of the ammunition depot in the city, and the Russian soldiers on the city wall began to be a little overwhelmed, because the artillery in the city reduced the shelling of the enemy in order to save shells.

The city gate was almost unable to withstand the bombardment of artillery, and groups of Russian soldiers carried those bombed-out buildings to the city gate to block the entire city gate passage, and the Russian soldiers who stood on the city wall to block the enemy were also ordered not to shoot and waste bullets before the enemy approached, in order to prevent the soldiers from thinking that the reason given by Lieutenant General Schoen was that if you want to hold the city, you can't waste ammunition at will, after all, no one knows how long you have to wait.

The cannonballs continued to hit the city wall and left potholes of different sizes, but the thickness and hardness of the city wall in Vladivostok were not something that could be broken at once, and the castle built by Tsarist Russia with a lot of manpower and material resources was not a tofu scum project in later generations.

The Japanese army bombarded the shells for a day and a night without achieving any great results, and the shells cost a lot, which really made the Japanese government very distressed, and it was all money spent in vain.

At twelve o'clock in the evening of the next day, the Japanese army launched another fierce attack, and suddenly, a thunderous explosion sounded under the city wall somewhere, and suddenly a huge hole was blown out of the city wall.

It turned out that a group of Japanese in the city took all the explosives they had collected in advance and put them together to blow up the city wall, and sure enough, they blew out a hole, but they were also killed by the Russian soldiers who rushed to hear the news.

After the hole appeared, the Japanese artillery outside seized the opportunity to bombard the hole, and slowly used the hole to expand into a gap, which could accommodate several people to pass through the gap at the same time.

The Japanese soldiers and the Russian soldiers in the city fought fiercely for this gap, and both sent a large number of troops here, one to attack and the other to defend.

After all, the Tsarist army was inferior to the Japanese human bombs, and one by one the Japanese death squads rushed forward with grenades and explosives packets, and the Russian soldiers at the gap were killed one by one, and the gap was soon occupied by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army that occupied the gap quickly put its own soldiers in, while the Russian army surrounded the places near the gap, trying to keep the enemy in the gap and remedy it.
