Xu Jie agreed with Yang Yonglin's judgment, and even Xu Jie was sure that Makanov would use decoy tactics to offset the disadvantages of his fleet. The reason is very simple, Makanov's fleet has no speed superiority, it cannot use mobility to fight guerrillas, the quality of the warships of the Beiyang fleet is very high, and it is difficult to suffer serious losses in an engagement of the same scale, plus the Beiyang will not value the losses of the Japanese army. So Makanov's only chance is to use the ambush to create a local advantage, and only then will they have a chance to inflict a heavy blow on the Beiyang naval division.

But in the face of this tactic, Xu Jie did not have the certainty of victory, the avant-garde of the Russian fleet must be very elite, so elite that even if Beiyang used the three most powerful king-type cruises, it would be difficult to achieve much advantage. If the two armored patrol fleets were combined at the same time, the main fleet would be too thin, and Lin Yongsheng's lightly armed patrol formation would not be suitable for participating in the decisive battle. How to redistribute the fleet will become a very important issue. And for this question, Xu Jie has no answer. However, there is no answer, and the plan must not be delayed, Yuan Shikai's troops behaved unexpectedly in Beiyang, and now Yuan Shikai's army has begun to gain the upper hand, and Rong Lu is still not optimistic even if Beiyang intends to provide weapons in waterproof, the main force of the Russian cavalry has entered Inner Mongolia, they are waiting, once the supplies are in place, they will attack Zhili. So Xu Jie's layout must begin. Text starter/text starter

Soon, after the coordination between Xu Jie and the army bosses. The Beiyang Northeast Armed Guards have finally begun to act! A whole division of troops left the front line and moved south, and the torrent of supplies that originally flowed to the front line began to slow down, and some of the supplies began to concentrate in the direction of Zhili. The tense situation along the Heilongjiang River was also eased with the withdrawal of troops from the Beiyang side.

This is just the beginning. Subsequently, half a brigade of cavalry plus other auxiliary forces began to move in the direction of Inner Mongolia. The front was directed at the flank of the Russian cavalry group. There was a hint of détente on the entire northeastern front. In the eyes of outsiders, Beiyang has put the focus on Guannai Zhili. And this situation will naturally fall into the eyes of some Russian spies. Immediately, this information appeared on the desk of the Russian high-level.

At the beginning, the Russian Far Eastern Military District did not believe its eyes, and the Beiyang Armed Guards in the northeast actually showed weakness when they were full of good cards. This is not normal! But over time, they believed, because a telegram came from the Siberian Military District of Russia! Claiming that their flank forces had made contact with the westward advance of the Beiyang forces, and that the Russian cavalry group in Inner Mongolia had also found itself in the northeast with Beiyang cavalry of varying sizes. All this indicates. Beiyang chose to protect Zhili first, and then slowly figure it out!

Just after the northeast side relieved the Russians, the situation in Japan made the Russians shudder a little! Large quantities of weapons and ammunition were sent to Japan by British transports, where the Japanese army, which had received strong support, launched an attack on the Russian fortresses. The siege artillery combined with the tactics of the sea of people played a huge role! The Russian troops on the front line of the island of Honshu were mired in huge attrition, if it were not for the trench system and words that the Russians had laid out a few years earlier. The Russians are afraid that they will have to retreat again. Hokkaido's troops have been transferred quite a bit, and now the entire Hokkaido field force has dropped to an extremely low number, except for the fortress garrison. And this revived the uprising that had not been completely extinguished in the first place!

The situation in Japan as a whole is in danger of getting out of control, and this is something that Tsar Nicholas II will never tolerate! Jokes, come out to rob, how can Russia, which is considered a loss if it robs less, tolerate the incident of stealing chickens and rice?! What the? Has the situation in the Northeast eased? The Beiyang Armed Guards have already transferred part of their main forces to Zhili? The entire Heilongjiang front line Beiyang is on the defensive? Then what are you waiting for, immediately support the Russian army stationed in Japan, don't you know that the Ivan in Japan is about to be beaten by the Japanese dwarfs and can't find the north?

The Tsar's orders could not be questioned, not to mention the fact that the Russian ministers thought that His Majesty the Tsar's words were indeed justified and that the army could not be left idle. The army is like a fire squad. If there's danger there, go there. Especially when the fire in Japan is about to get out of control! Therefore, under the urging of the Tsar's telegram, the first batch of three regiments of Russia and heavy equipment were loaded onto the transport ship, and in order to ensure the smooth transportation line in the Sea of Japan, Makanov specially transferred the Russia and an armored cruiser of the Sea of Azov to the Sea of Japan to participate in the escort. As for the Beiyang Fleet? Russian admirals generally believed that Beiyang was only passively helping Japan, after all, the naval battle of 1894 had turned the two sides into enemies. Even now, the two sides are still on guard against each other, and there is no need for the Beiyang Fleet to shed blood for the war in Japan! In their opinion, if it weren't for the British, the Beiyang Fleet might still be nesting in territorial waters now!

But Makanov doesn't see it that way! There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, and interests can turn brothers against each other. But at the same time, you can also make the enemy sit together and drink and talk! It is inevitable that Beiyang hates Japan, but at the same time, Beiyang must help Japan drive the Russians away, and the current Japan can only make Beiyang feel disgusting at most, and Russia is indeed a real threat! In order to completely cut off this threat, Beiyang does not mind cooperating with Japan! But what is Beiyang doing now? The main force of the fleet was just cruising, and it was not as expected!

"Are you here or not? If you don't come, I'll attack your supply lines! Makanov thought a little discouraged, but this is just to think about it, a large number of Russian troops are going to be transferred from the mainland to Japan, in order to prevent two Japanese cruisers from being traitors, Makanov sent two capital ships to the Sea of Japan, so that the Far East Fleet will only have 4 battleships left, and 3 armored cruisers will remain in the port of Muroran, with a fleet of this size, once a few more ships are sent, if the Beiyang Fleet hits the door, even the hometown may not be able to be saved! Even if Makanov wanted to attack, he would have to wait at least until the two cruisers returned. "General Xu, what do you want to do?" Makanov fell into deep thought.

The situation did not keep Makanov waiting for long! The intelligence from the Russian spies surprised Makanov! Beiyang and the Japanese government reached a cooperation intention, and the Japanese Army Division 1 will bypass the frontal defense line of the Russian army and land in the area of Hachinohe under the cover of the Beiyang Naval Division! Then flank the Russian troops on the front line. And after this news appeared in the hands of Makanov, it shocked Makanov at that time, Beiyang This is really too ruthless, after bypassing the defense line, the Russian rear will be at the mercy of the Japanese Army. There are no fortifications, there are not enough troops, and there are naval guns from the Beiyang on the sea side, how do you let the Russian army fight? Once the Russian Army in Honshu is completely annihilated, and the Beiyang covers the Japanese Army across the strait, Hokkaido will be finished, and the Far East Fleet will be eaten by the Japanese Army and the Beiyang Fleet in the harbor at that time!

No longer erupts in silence and perishes in silence, Makanov at this time really can't sit still, if there is no attempt to organize the North Ocean, then the time of the existence of the Russian Far Eastern Fleet can only be calculated in minutes and seconds! And the subsequent actions of the Japanese Army and the Beiyang Fleet convinced Makanov even more of this. Part of the Japanese Army ripped off the line and then concentrated in the intended port, while the Beiyang Fleet began to cruise along the coast of the Russian occupation zone, carrying out minesweeping and clearing at the same time. and destroyed the turrets and defenses of several ports. This move made it impossible for the Russians to determine exactly where the other side might land!

Faced with this situation, the Russian governors in the occupied territories of Japan, Alechek and Makanov, unanimously sent a letter to Tsar Nicholas II, asking for more troops to be sent to Japan from the mainland, and strongly demanding that the Russian diaspora in the Far East also be armed, these people can not do anything else, at least to maintain law and order, of course, it is also possible to pull into the battlefield when necessary, anyway, the tsar does not care about human life but land!

In the face of the urgency of the Japanese situation, the tsar naturally agreed to the request of the two, and at least five regiments were withdrawn from the fortress areas of Heilongjiang and Vladivostok and transferred to Japan, so that the strength of eight regiments had already been transferred from the mainland to Japan. In addition, a large number of conscripts and armed civilians accompanied the army to Japan for the construction of fortifications and transportation. These recruits and civilians are not military troops, but they are potential soldiers and logisticians. The transfer of these manpower also seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the Russian Far Eastern Military District!

The Russians moved quickly, and the soldiers, under the supervision of the officers, loaded weapons and supplies onto the transport ship to Japan day and night, and then a large number of Russian troops boarded the already seriously overloaded transport ship to Japan, waiting in the cabin with extremely poor light transmission and ventilation! This is true of the military, and even more so of the large number of Russian civilians. Under the threat of bayonets and rifles, Russian civilians were driven out of their homes and assembled in the port with food and clothing, and then the Russian side would issue them weapons or tools, and after a short mobilization, they would go to Japan to participate in a war that had nothing to do with them.

On July 6, 1899, under the cover of the Beiyang Naval Division and the Foreign Marine Division, the Japanese Army, under the command of Akiyama Yoshiko, finally set foot on the land of Hachinohe again, looking at the Russian fortresses and fortresses that had been destroyed by the Beiyang Fleet, Akiyama Yoshiko nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he commanded the troops to start attacking in two directions, one to outflank the Russian front-line troops from behind, and the other to begin to act recklessly in the rear of the Russian army!

And after getting this news, Makanov couldn't wait any longer, after all the Russian warships cruising in the Sea of Japan were transferred back, Makanov, who had been cornered, was like a male wolf surrounded by hunters at this time, staring closely at the opponent's every move with blood-red eyes, so as to give the opponent a fatal blow at the right time, at least, to let the opponent temporarily retreat and win a respite for himself!
