272 Pushing hard
The Yan* team advanced towards Vladivostok Castle with great speed. From the time the Yan army crossed the Ussuri River, it only took 250 kilometers to reach Vladivostok. In the first two days of the national war, the Yan army rushed across a distance of 100 kilometers in one go.
However, as more and more Russian player troops retreated to Vladivostok, and the counterattack became stronger and stronger, it became more and more difficult for the Yan army to advance. Almost every mile that the Yan army advanced, it had to pay the price of thousands of troops.
On the third day after the start of the national war, the Southern Route Army, with Zhou Shui's army as the core, advanced to an important pass only 75 kilometers from Vladivostok Castle. Once this pass is breached, it will be possible to advance another 15 kilometers into a small basin.
But the Russian player army fell into a desperate situation and became extremely ferocious, counterattacking at any cost. The two sides have reached a stalemate, and as many as hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Russian player troops have engaged in a fierce tug-of-war in this pass.
Inside the military tent of the Zhoushui battalion.
Qin Xiaobai, God King, Blood Kill, and others were working on a military map. Dozens of mid-level player generals are on standby, ready to lead their troops into battle.
Qin Xiaobai pondered the map, frowned, and said, "There are only 75 kilometers left from the target, but this distance is not easy to take." The Russian army gathered in this area is at least a million people, and there are many NPC peasant candidates, even if the troops are consumed, it is enough for them to consume, which is a bit troublesome. If we continue to fight according to this situation, I am afraid that we will not be able to kill Vladivostok in the short term. And I'm worried about one more thing. If it is born, then this war may be even more protracted. ”
Bloody Kill laughed: "Boss, we have to kill at the foot of the Vladivostok Castle." It is estimated that it will take at least half a month to a month. But what we have is time and materials to consume. Time is in our favor, not in favor of the Russian players. We have food, medicine supplies, weapons and ordnance supplies for the entire Yan country, and they are continuously transported from the hinterland of the Yan country. But the farmland of the Russian Far Eastern principalities has been completely destroyed, they do not have enough farmland to grow food, and they do not have enough medicines and ores to make medicines and weapons. The longer this battle lasts, the more advantageous it becomes. ”
The God King smiled: "Old blood, the boss is not worried about the war for too long, the boss is probably worried that the Russian players and Japanese players will have other tricks." It's easy to change over time. Maybe the situation will worsen. It cannot be ruled out that Japanese players will send troops to directly help players in the Russian Far East to fight. ”
Bloody Kill disagreed: "Impossible, the ground communication lines in the Russian Far East have been completely cut off by us, and the Russians themselves are not enough raw materials and products for Vladivostok, so how can they continue to sell them to Japanese players?" The cross-sea trade between Russia and Japan has been completely abolished since the day we started the national war. The alliance between Russia and Japan has basically been abolished, and their military alliance is hardly effective. Japanese players don't have enough raw materials for armament expansion, how can they help Russian players? Send a group of Stone Age soldiers to fight us? I'm afraid they won't come, how many. How many to kill them! ”
Qin Xiaobai said with a smile: "The words of the God King are not unreasonable, if the Russian players are cornered, they are likely to invite the Japanese army to board Vladivostok 6 and directly help them hold this important first military port in the Far East." The population of the Russian player land is not large, but the population of Japan is so large that no matter how much it dies, it will be consumed. We have to guard against that. ”
Blood Kill: "How to prevent it?" If Japanese players really risk taking the plunge to 6 Vladivostok, then they will definitely transport their forces by sea. Our fleet cannot venture through the Korean Strait, but it cannot stop them. ”
Qin Xiaobai held his chin, thought for a long time, and said, "How is the Korea-Japan War in the direction of the Korean Peninsula?" Only the Korean Peninsula is under enough pressure. In order to force the Japanese player's forces to concentrate on the Korean Peninsula instead of ascending to 6 Vladivostok. ”
The Chief of the General Staff, the God King, immediately said: "Our Bohai Fleet, the Qingdao Fleet of the Qi State, and the Zhoushan Fleet of the Wu State have formed a combined fleet of 1,000 ships, which have been stationed on Jeju Island in South Korea to reinforce the Korean players.
South Korean players are confident. ==== They have sent millions of additional 6 armies to Kyushu Island, Japan, to hold the base on Kyushu Island, and fight 6 ground battles with Japanese players. Although Japan's Honshu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido counterattacked Kyushu Island, they did not achieve much success and failed to drive the Korean * team into the sea.
The level of fighting on their side is probably even more tragic than ours. Fukuoka Prefecture and Saga Prefecture, these two places are still under the control of the South Korean 6th Army. The Korean* team is fiercely fighting with the Japanese army for the Sasebo military port and Nagasaki Prefecture. Once the Korean* team breaks through the Sasebo military port and Nagasaki Prefecture, it is equivalent to taking the largest naval port of the Japanese player on Kyushu Island in one fell swoop. It will certainly greatly enhance the security situation of our coalition fleet on Jeju Island. This is a great way for us and Korean players to join forces to take over the entire island of Kyushu. Very beneficial. ”
Qin Xiaobai nodded: "It seems that Li Tianen is playing well on Kyushu Island." The Japanese player army was pinned down by the island of Kyushu, which was very advantageous for us to take down the Russian Far Eastern principalities alone. Our reinforcements for Korean players must be constantly strengthened. It cannot be weakened. The more intense the ground hit in the direction of Kyushu Island, the easier it will be for our side to hit the ground. ”
The God-King nodded, indicating understanding.
In the following days, the fighting between the Yan army and the Russian army in the area of the pass, 75 kilometers from Vladivostok, became even more tragic. Hundreds of thousands of troops are committed every day. In a few days, the corpses of NPCs killed on both sides alone increased by hundreds of thousands. In order to avoid the plague, it had to be set on fire.
New Yan troops are constantly coming and are engaged in tug-of-war battles.
After seven or eight days, the Russian army finally looked very tired, and its combat ability was significantly reduced.
The morale of the Yan army was suddenly greatly boosted.
Even if you are militarily blind, you know why. There are too many Russian troops gathered in the area of Vladivostok, up to millions, and countless farmers, but Vladivostok does not have enough food sources, and Vladivostok's reserve food reserves are probably on the verge of exhaustion, and the NPC soldiers have decreased in physical strength, so they naturally lack combat ability.
However, the Yan army did not have this problem, a large amount of food was continuously transported from all over the Yan country, and the physical strength and morale of the NPC soldiers were maintained at a high level. In contrast, a huge gap in combat effectiveness began to arise.
Under the heavy stone throwing frame of Zhou Shui's army, the entire city wall of the pass completely collapsed. The 500,000 Russian troops guarding this checkpoint could no longer support it, leaving nearly 100,000 corpses, retreating violently, and fleeing to the next checkpoint to continue the battle.
Millions of Yan troops pressed closer, rushed through the pass, entered a 15-kilometer-long basin area, killed all the Russian players in this large area and captured them, and then continued to storm the next pass -- the Yan players did not know how many passes they had encountered in the short 25 kilometers in the Russian Far East, and they angrily scolded the Russian army for being too shameless. If you can't beat it, you know that the turtle is cowering inside the city wall.
The Zhou Shui army was very cautious and did not immediately follow the other Yan troops into the basin.
The God King, Blood Kill and other generals took the map and studied it for a long time, and confirmed that there was no danger in this basin, and the Russian army could not use this terrain to do anything. Just a little relaxed. Despite this, they did not enter the basin.
Fighting a war is like walking on thin ice, once the old capital of the 60,000 troops is accompanied, this Vladivostok Castle has no part in the Zhoushui Alliance, and they can't help but act cautiously. Whether there is fraud or not, they don't want to take risks easily. Anyway, there are still sixty kilometers from Vladivostok, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to let other Yan troops rush ahead.
The 60-kilometer pass is the last large pass leading to Vladivostok. Once breached, then there will be a flat river ahead, which can directly approach the vicinity of Vladivostok Castle for twenty miles. That will be the real Armageddon for the Far East.
Vladivostok, Russia's only outlet to the sea in the Far East, is comparable in status and economic and military value to St. Petersburg -- the only outlet to the sea in East Asia and the only outlet to the sea in Western Europe. They are the easternmost and westernmost valuable towns. Without Vladivostok, Russia's influence in the East Asian direction has dropped significantly.
Although Russia's territory is huge, it is the largest country in the world, known as the Eurasian Continent, bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Baltic Sea to the west, the Black Sea, the Subsea Sea and the Caspian Sea to the southwest, the Pacific Ocean to the east, and the Alaska and Japan across the sea.
But it is actually one of the six countries in the country, and the real ports to the sea are only St. Petersburg and Vladivostok.
The Arctic Ocean is not to be considered, it is all ice and impassable for ships. Although it has an outlet to the Black Sea, it is heavily constrained by the Turkish straits. Turkey does not allow its ships to pass through the straits and go to the Mediterranean, and Russia has nowhere to vent its temper.
If the Chinese occupy Vladivostok, then Russia will only have one outlet to the sea in the direction of Western Europe - St. Petersburg, which can be used. The Russian player's power has completely disappeared from Asia, leaving only Western Europe to maintain a huge influence.
The national war between the Yan Kingdom and the Russian Far Eastern Principality has reached an extremely critical and crazy moment until now.
Players of the Russian Principality of Siberia know very well what it means to lose the Russian Far Eastern Principality. Unable to take care of themselves, they began to pull a large group of soldiers and horses through an unusually long distance to fully reinforce the operations of the Russian Far Eastern principalities.
But unfortunately, China is not the only prince of Yan. The Zhao and Qin states in the north have already been gearing up for a long time, they are too far away from the Russian Far East Principality to fight the Russian Far East Principality, but there is no problem in attacking the Russian Siberian Principality.
The player armies of Zhao and Qin crossed the Sino-Russian and Sino-Mongolian borders and entered the Siberian theater in large quantities without declaring war. Players in Russian Siberia immediately complained bitterly.
The war has become more and more fierce, and no one can retreat at this time, and they must go up with all their might, otherwise they will be defeated.
Players across the Empire universe are watching with bated breath as this great war between Chinese and Russian players. This war, which was originally only between the Chinese Yan Kingdom and the Russian Far Eastern Principality, has gradually expanded to the war between half of China and most of Russia in Osaka.
The war has been fought until now, and it is no longer under anyone's control. Everyone can only wait for the outcome of this Asian national war.
