Just when the battle on the northern front was heating up, with the support of the Beiyang Fleet, the Beiyang Army on the southern front also launched an attack on the Russian defensive line. Although not violent, this style of play is quite economical in infantry troops. And the Russian army on the opposite side did not dare to take it lightly. Although the Russians feel that it is a feint no matter how they look at it, they really dare not transfer all their forces to the northern front, after all, the southern front and the northern ocean are far apart, and if the other side launches a general attack, the empty southern front will not be finished at once? So the Russians were forced to disperse their forces into two parts to cope.

All the way to the main attack, all the way to the feint attack to contain the troops, in the eyes of ordinary people, the offensive of Beiyang is very reasonable, but as everyone knows, the real dark arrow is a Beiyang rapid assault regiment that is dormant on the Eastern Front. The Eastern Front was mountainous and directly covered the observation and firing angles of the artillery, so at the beginning, the Beiyang Army did not deploy too much heavy artillery on the Eastern Front, and the Navy did not pay much attention to it. Coupled with the rugged roads, the Russians did not put much energy into this aspect, anyway, in case the other side broke through the defensive line, they could mobilize troops from the northern and southern fronts in time to encircle it. And the Russians also have balloons, and after repeated reconnaissance, they also determined that Beiyang does not have too many troops in this regard, so naturally they are more assured!

And what is needed for the so-called attack on the unprepared is the mentality of the Russians! The mountain roads are rugged, and it is difficult for heavy artillery to provide effective support, which is nothing, and no one stipulates that you can't fight without superior firepower! Similarly, the overly complex terrain also affected the use of Russian firepower. In fact, the Beiyang assault regiment only needed to quickly capture a few firepower points on the offensive road. There is no massive destruction of bunkers by heavy artillery, and this is not a problem either. The assault regiment led by Zhang Wenxuan was not trying to entangle with the Russians on the fortress at all. Because of the topography, there are 2 or 3 lines of defense from the outer defense to the city of Vladivostok in other directions. But after crossing the hilly terrain of the periphery. It only takes a trench system that is not well defended to cut directly into the fragile inner city of Vladivostok. The temptation to avoid the heavy clusters of Russians and directly mess up the interior is too great!

Of course, high returns often represent high risks, not to mention that there is a certain degree of difficulty in entering, even if you go in, whether you can smoothly open up the situation in Vladivostok City. The destruction of pre-marked command posts, warehouses, control of important transport hubs is unknown. After the troops of more than 1,000 people enter, it is very likely that they will become a few hundred, or a few hundred people scattered, and they will be careless. But it is possible to be surrounded and annihilated!

For this. First, in terms of the order of attack, Zhang Wenxuan's assault regiment was arranged to the rear of the attack, and after the main Russian forces were mobilized to the two battlefields of the northern and southern fronts as much as possible, Zhang Wenxuan launched another attack. Secondly, the Beiyang Naval Division said that it would send at least 4 capital ships to clear the way for the assault regiment to attack. Thirdly, in equipment. The assault regiment was additionally equipped with an engineer battalion for blasting and transporting ammunition, so that the regiment could be deployed. The number of troops directly entering the city will be about 2,000 people. Peng Yi, Ma Yukun and others, who were in charge of the attack on both the northern and southern fronts, said that once Zhang Wenxuan's department launched an attack, the direction they were responsible for would maintain pressure to prevent the Russians from blocking Zhang Wenxuan's department, after a series of coordination and full preparations. Zhang Wenxuan's attack has officially begun!

With the support of a large number of mortars and light artillery, the Russian firing points on the attack road were either suppressed or shrouded in smoke bombs, and under the leadership of the company commanders, the units of the assault regiment rushed out of the starting positions, and after quickly seizing several fire points that could directly threaten the advance of the troops, they rushed directly to the rear trench regardless of the remaining Russian fortifications. Although this trench was relatively simple and did not have too many concrete fortifications, the assault regiment was still very annoyed by the open and dark firing points, and the lack of direct fire and heavy mortar support made the 60 mortars a little less powerful than the strong civil fortifications of the team!

"Prepare for the demolition team, we can't always use our firepower advantage to fight! Even if we only have bayonets and rifles in our hands, we still have to tell the Russians that we are an invincible army! A platoon commander in charge of demolition said to his subordinates before the attack.

Under the cover of machine guns and smoke bombs, the demolition team crawled to the bunkers that spewed out flames in the face of Russian fire, and they needed to get close enough distance before blasting them with explosive packs or blasting canisters. From time to time, someone falls on the way forward, but every time a soldier does not finish the work at hand, there will inevitably be the next soldier who silently continues the unfinished work of his comrades with the explosives handed by his companions.

"The path of the assault regiment was almost paved with the blood of sappers and commandos." Afterwards, in front of the Russian Army Headquarters in Vladivostok, when others asked how the Beiyang Assault Regiment cooperated with the main force of the Western Front to break through the Vladivostok fortress in just three days, Zhang Wenxuan only said the above sentence.

On this road, which was paved with blood and courage, the Beiyang Assault Regiment, after paying the price of more than 300 casualties, finally crossed this blockade line, and in front of them, there was a criss-crossing and much more complex environment in the city of Vladivostok. And behind it was the Russian Army, which was concentrated towards the breach. The gate of retreat has been slowly closed, and the brothers behind can't tear the breakthrough open at all, because of the carelessness of the Russians, Zhang Wenxuan can lead the team into Vladivostok, but the Russians who have eaten a trench and grown wise will definitely not relax their vigilance again. There is only one chance, and after the assault group enters, if it can't cooperate with the other two directions to open the gap, then this lone army is dead!

However, in the face of a place that is basically unfamiliar and even the road situation is ambiguous, the comrades-in-arms of the Beiyang Commando Regiment still have a way, that is, to tear down the wall and make holes, and it is naturally not easy to pass through the barricades prepared by the Russians. Then make your own way! There is even a rather literary and artistic Beiyang non-commissioned officer jokingly called: "Don't take the usual road!" In this way, the Beiyang Assault Regiment opened the road in the city of Vladivostok, and the road conditions in Vladivostok were changed in a mess, and some good deeds even concluded: 100 machine gun bullets can chisel a wall, and a grenade with a hammer can achieve the same effect! Such a "theorem". The last result made the Russians who participated in the encirclement and suppression dizzy, because in the face of these big holes in the walls or houses, no one knew where the Beiyang Dao was drilled out of that hole, and then used to drill back from!
