For the next nearly a month, all the war reports came from the Far East.

Xu Yan collected all the information on the ground battlefield in the Far East in great detail.

And as time goes on, the information gathered becomes more comprehensive.

The Red Guard Corps has 10,000 elite troops, using various methods to quietly enter the territory of North Korea, and all the information is gathered together by every soldier, and it is naturally very careful.

The Red Guard soldiers who were lurking did not directly participate in the war, because it was not yet time for them to make a move.

The Russian Navy was unable to compete for sea supremacy, so it could only rely on the shore artillery defense of Vladivostok and the deployment of a large number of mines to block the threat of the Japanese Navy to Vladivostok, and could not prevent the Japanese Army from landing at any point in the coastal area.

Following the First Army, the Second Army of the Japanese Army, under the command of General Okuhoko, successfully landed on the coastline between Kiyojin and Rajin, and cut off the railway from Rajin and Kiyojin at the first time.

And the 30,000 troops of the Russian Army in South Ussuri have been assembled in Rozin.

Rail transportation was cut off, the connection between Rojin and Cheongjin was cut off, and a large amount of supplies had not yet been delivered to Cheongjin, which was fatal for the Russian forces in Kiangjin.

The idea of the Russian Army was simple, that is, to attract the Japanese Army to engage in a battle in the Kiyotsu area.

The Japanese, on the other hand, simply let the Russians succeed, and then united with the Second Army to destroy all Russian troops in Korea in one fell swoop.

The main force of the Japanese Second Army was 45,000 people, plus more than 20,000 people of the First Army, for a total strength of 70,000.

The Russian troops assembled in Chiang Jin are nearly 60,000 troops, and there are 30,000 troops in Rajin.

The Japanese moved too quickly.

In just one month, the Second Army has successfully landed, and directly cut off the continuity of Cheongjin and Rojin, and the Russian Army has completely fallen into passivity.

Rozhin's 1st Siberian Army of the Russian Army, hastily departing from Rozhin, tried to open the lines of communication.

However, standing in the way of the First Siberian Army was the Japanese Second Army, which was much more powerful in combat.

In nearly half a month of fighting, the Russian First Army in Siberia was defeated and retreated, losing nearly half of its troops, but it could only retreat, and there was no hope of opening up the lines of communication.

This was a great blow to the Russian soldiers in the Cheongjin area, and their morale was low.

In addition, there was no sufficient supply, and there was still the Japanese First Army on the side, and there were 40,000 troops of the Second Army to the east, and the supply of weapons, ammunition and food was gradually exhausted.

In the face of the onslaught of the First Army, the Russian Army, without any reinforcements, could only choose to fight to the end.

This battle of Qingjin took a month and a half from the retreat of the East Manchurian detachment to the landing of the Japanese Second Army.

After the decisive battle, it took more than ten days, and the Russian Army, which had no way to retreat, finally behaved once.

Sixty thousand Russian Army soldiers, with almost all the cost of being killed, ended the battle with only two thousand surrenders.

The Japanese First Army and the Second Army also lost more than 20,000 people, if it were not for the cut off of supplies, the lack of weapons and ammunition of the Russian army, and the combined strength of the two Japanese armies of more than 300 artillery pieces of various kinds, otherwise Japan would not have only lost about 20,000 people.

Although the losses of the Japanese Army were not small, through this battle, Japan's control of Korea was almost established.

In the end, the Russian army only had 10,000 or 20,000 troops left here in Rozin, but in Russia, the Russians still had more than 100,000 troops.

If these forces could not be eliminated, this war would not have been able to win the war with Japanese victory as the Japanese imagined.

On the contrary, because the time dragged on more and more, Russia mobilized more troops to reach the Far East, making the war a long war of attrition, and finally Japan was defeated.

Therefore, at the same time as the Battle of Kiyojin ended, the Japanese First Army and the Second Army did not have time to rest properly, and the two armies gathered together and set off towards Rajin.

Rozin's Russian forces have been fully withdrawn and are heading east to join the Vladivostok garrison.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army far exceeded the expectations of the Russian Army, and the Russian soldiers, who originally thought that they could fight four at a time, suffered three times as many battle losses as Japan.

To this end, the Russian Army made adjustments, converging a total of 160,000 troops in Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi to meet the Japanese army with superior forces.

And this is what the Japanese want most, that is, to fight and destroy the main forces of the Russian Army as soon as possible, otherwise this war will drag on until next year, because the cold winter in Siberia is coming, and when the time comes, the preparation of materials and artillery transportation will be much slower.

While the 1st and 2nd armies were heading towards Vladivostok, the 3rd Army, which had been prepared by the Japanese Army, also began to prepare for a landing near Vladivostok.

The rest of the battle will all revolve around Vladivostok.

So far, nearly four months have passed since the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War.

Jakarta's Fan Yize is still patiently waiting for the end of this war.

He was waiting, waiting for next year when Siberia would not be so cold, and that would be when the Red Police would come into play.

The Russian Baltic Fleet is also departing for the Far East, a long voyage, and the Battle of Tsushima will soon be staged next year.

In this regard, Fan Yize is not in a hurry at all, because the operation of the troops, logistics supply, and the efficiency of the troops' actions in this era are quite slow.

Just like the previous battle between the Japanese Army and the Russian Army, a war required at least a month of preparation time just from the operation to the beginning.

It's not that both sides don't want to speed up themselves, it's that there is no way to speed it up.

The Russian army is a little better, after all, it is waiting for work.

And the Japanese army had to take into account the transportation of a large number of artillery shells, as well as the factors of communication and soldier fatigue, so it was impossible to speed up at all.

In particular, the Third Army, which was about to land in Vladivostok, had already taken more than half a year to prepare for it alone.

In order to be able to break through the fortress of Vladivostok, the Japanese Third Army prepared more than 100 siege cannons, which can be completed in half a year, which is already very remarkable.

The large amount of heavy equipment carried by the Third Army was very impressive, so it could not be fastened at all.

But without these equipment, the Third Army would not have been able to attack a fortress like Vladivostok.

And these more than 100 siege artillery pieces have almost exhausted the entire Japanese family.

The combined fleet could not get close to the inner harbor of Vladivostok, and only these siege cannons could threaten the fortress of Vladivostok.
