Chapter 420: Vladivostok
Under the command of the ground crew, one fighter plane after another rushed into the sky in an instant, and after forming a complete formation in the air, they flew towards the sky to the north.
Soon the bomber formation flew into the combat area, and at this time the ground was constantly rising in patches of fire. The artillery units of the Imperial Chinese Army were launching a heavy artillery bombardment on the positions of the Tsars, and the entire positions of the Tsars were already overwhelmed by artillery fire.
In the violent roar of motors, bombers pounced on their prey on the ground like eagles that hunted one by one.
The bomb magazine was opened, and one after another, the black and metallic bombs rained down on the Russian fortress on the ground.
"Boom! Rumble! "In the violent explosion, the shock wave generated by the explosion of the aerial bomb instantly tore the Russian fortresses to pieces.
"Fuck! I thought that these planes could only reconnoiter the enemy situation and give the artillery directions, but I didn't expect these planes to be used for bombing so powerful! Song Laohu put down the telescope in his hand and said with a shocked expression.
"I heard that this is our latest bomber, and this is the first time it has been put into battle!" The chief of staff next to him said with a smile.
"It's better to be a bomber like this! Fly to the top of Lao Maozi's head and throw a bomb, Lao Maozi looked at it but didn't have any way, it was fun to think about it! Ha ha~! Song Laohu couldn't help but laugh and said.
"Divisional commander! Is it time to attack? The chief of staff asked with a smile. At this time, Song Laohu had been promoted to the post of commander of the 8th Division.
"Hmmm! It's almost time! Pass the order down, immediately launch a full-scale attack on it, and take the Russian positions on the opposite side in one fell swoop! Song Laohu nodded and said with a stern face.
"Tick tock!" Amid the loud horn of the charge, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Division, who had already been ready, rushed onto the ferry boats that had been prepared one after another, broke through the boiling river, and rushed towards the Russian positions on the other side of the Heilongjiang River.
Under the combined bombardment of our ground artillery units and bombers, Lao Maozi's fortifications were completely destroyed. Lao Maozi, who was hiding in the fortifications, also suffered heavy losses, and at this time it was simply impossible to organize an effective defense to resist the ferocious attack of our army.
"Da Da Da!" In the dense gunfire, people were constantly shot and fell into the boiling river. "Boom!" In the midst of the sound of artillery, ships were constantly destroyed under the fire of the Russian army. But all the soldiers still had no fear and rushed towards the opposite shore without hesitation.
Finally, a series of boats rushed to the opposite shore, and the soldiers on board picked up their rifles and rushed out. The fierce battle lasted less than two hours, and the Russian Heilongjiang defense line was broken through by the 8th Division. The Russian soldiers on guard were all wiped out.
"Good! Well done, inform the follow-up troops to cross the river immediately, and wait for all the troops to cross the Heilongjiang River. Immediately advance in the direction of Birobidzhan. Be sure to capture Birobidzhan in the shortest possible time. Song Laohu shouted excitedly.
"Yes!" The chief of staff replied loudly.
The lights in the Supreme Command of the Chinese Empire were brilliant, and Ren Chao sat on the throne, looking at the huge map hanging on the wall with a stern expression. Next to the map, Zhou Tai, the chief of the general staff, is holding a baton and is explaining the current battle.
"At present, our First Army has launched a fierce offensive on the northern front, has broken through the Russian army's Heilongjiang defense line, and will soon occupy Boli, Birobidzhan and other places, cutting off the Trans-Siberian Railway. And our Second Army has also broken through the defense line of the Russian army on the Ussuri River and is heading towards Dalnerechensk. Fierce attacks were launched in Lesozavosk and other places. In addition, the Korean army group has also launched an offensive against the Russian army on the front line of the Tumen River, and has now broken through the defense line of the Tumen River and is advancing to the hinterland of the Russian army. Zhou Tai pointed to the map and said loudly.
"Not bad! Is there any action on the part of the Russian army? Ren Chao nodded and said.
"At present, the Russian army has launched a general military mobilization, but Russia has only about 300,000 troops in the Far East. Even if a general mobilization is issued, it will only be able to gather five or six hundred thousand troops at most. And Russia is now fighting fiercely with the Germans in Europe, and Tsarist Russia's focus has always been on the European battlefield, and it is simply unable to reinforce the Far East. As a result, the forces of the Russian army in the Far East are obviously insufficient, and they are simply unable to withstand the fierce attack of our army. Now the Russian army is forced to shrink its defensive line. Gradually gather their forces to the line of Vladivostok and put on a posture of a decisive battle with us in Vladivostok. Zhou Tai continued.
Vladivostok! Hearing this name, Ren Chao couldn't help but have a murderous aura flashing on his face. Vladivostok is called Vladivostok by the Russians. It means "ruler of the East" or "conquest of the East". It is the capital of the Far East of Tsarist Russia, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is the most important port of Russia on the Pacific coast and the headquarters of the Russian Pacific Fleet.
Vladivostok comes from the ancient Sushen (Manchurian) aboriginal language, which translates to "fishing village by the sea" or "net drying ground by the sea". During the Qing Dynasty, the people of the two provinces of Zhilu (Hebei and Shandong) who broke into the eastern part of the country called this place "Weizi", and the "running Weizi" of Shandong people refers to this place. Because it mistakenly believed that the local sea cucumbers were abundant, the Chinese translation finally named it "Vladivostok" or "Vladivostok".
History of Shanghai Vladivostok has been since the Tang Dynasty, Liao, Jin, here has gradually seen the people's activities, during the Tang Dynasty, Vladivostok is the Bohai State rate of the guest house, the Jin Dynasty belongs to the shirt road, the Yuan Dynasty is called Yongming City, the coastal area is relatively rich, "rate the guest horse" is precious for a while. The Poshet Bay near Vladivostok was a foreign trade port in the northeastern border area of the Yuan Dynasty. In order to strengthen the connection with the East China Sea tribes, the Yuan Dynasty opened up the southeast post road from Xixiangzhou to Binhai Yongming City, starting from Xixiangzhou (now 30 kilometers northeast of Nong'an County, Jilin Province, Wanlita Ancient City), passing through 18 stations, and ending at Yongming City. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it belonged to the deputy capital of Ningguta, Jilin, and was later placed under the jurisdiction of the deputy capital of Hunchun, Jilin.
In the mid-17th century, the Russian dynasty waited for an opportunity to invade the east, seeking to open ice-free ports in the Far East. Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty had many territorial disputes. Although the Treaty of Nebuchu signed between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia during the reign of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty clearly stipulated that Vladivostok belonged to the Qing Dynasty, after the decline of the Qing Dynasty in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and the Opium War, in 1858 the Qing government and Tsarist Russia signed the unequal Treaty of Aihui, which stipulated that the area east of the Ussuri River, including Vladivostok, was jointly administered by China and Russia. Two years later (1860), during the Second Opium War, Russia signed the unequal Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing with the Qing government, in which the Qing government ceded about 400,000 square kilometers of territory east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, including Vladivostok. It later became an important Russian military base in the Far East, but its proximity to Russia was slow. In 1891, the Trans-Siberian Railway was opened, and there were also shipping routes between Kobe and Nagasaki in Japan and Shanghai in China. Vladivostok gradually prospered. (To be continued......)
