Chapter 289 The Battle of Vladivostok Fortress (4)

In the center of Vladivostok, the Governor's Office of the Far Eastern Krai, General Alekseyev, who was sitting in the office, looked depressed.

Alekseev understands Chinese, so he could hear clearly what was on the phone just now.

The second river fortress was lost, and this blow was too great for Alekseyev to accept it for a while.

"Your Excellency Commander, it is obvious that the second river fortress has been lost."

"The second river fortress is indestructible. With more than 20,000 soldiers guarding the empire, the enemy has been shaken for more than ten days. Why did it fall in one night?"

"Yes, it's so strange. The enemy did not attack the Second River Fortress last night, otherwise we should have known it."

"Is it that General Menregisky surrendered?" "Okay, don't speculate."

Lieutenant General Klosky, Chief of Staff, stopped everyone's random speculation and then asked Alekseyev.

"Mr. Commander, once the second river fortress is lost, most parts of Vladivostok will be under enemy artillery fire."

"Yes!" Governor Amur Gorodekov said quickly: "Mr. Commander, there are more than 200,000 civilians and tens of thousands of wounded and sick people in the city. What should I do?"

Everyone complained again, saying and saying that the fierce offensive of the Chinese Emperor in the past ten days had already made them frightened. The huge casualties of the Russian army made them gradually lose confidence in defending the fortress. The fall of the second river fortress was equivalent to opening most of the gates of Vladivostok, and most of the suburbs of Vladivostok had fallen into the hands of the Chinese Emperor, and people were panic.

"Don't worry, although I lost the second river fortress, isn't there still the first river fortress? The enemy will not attack the city."

Alekseyev had to appease them, but Klosky and others understood in their hearts that although there was the first river fortress in the city, that fortress was the oldest fortress. The first and fortress, which was built in July of 1, was just the stronghold where Tsarist Russia initially controlled Vladivostok, and its defense ability was far inferior to that of the second river fortress. After the fall of the second river fortress, it was sooner or later that the fall of the first river fortress.

"No, the first river fortress has been abandoned for a long time. I ask you to open the Amur Fortress immediately and let the civilians in the city go in and take refuge."

"What? Go into the fortress to take refuge? Are you crazy?"

Alekseev immediately slapped the table. The fortress had been blown away. It was so tight that it was placed in Russian soldiers and wounded, and there was no room for 200,000 civilians.

Besides, once 200,000 civilians pour into the fortress, it will seriously drag down the defense of each fortress.

Gorodekov said: "I am not crazy. With the empire's attitude towards the Chinese people, it is difficult to ensure that the Chinese team will not fight too much when they enter Vladivostok. I must fulfill my responsibilities as the governor to protect the safety of the citizens. In addition, the commander does not want our materials to be invaded, right?"

Seeing Gorodekov's attitude, Alekseyev would probably find it difficult to get his cooperation in the future if he did not agree. At present, the medical treatment of the wounded and sick in the fortifications of Vladivostok fortifications and supplies all rely on the people in Vladivostok. If Gorodekov is not happy, the logistics of the Russian army will be difficult to guarantee.

"Two hundred thousand people are too many, I can only open the Agathelid Peninsula Fortress, you must ensure the supply of the fortress."

Gorodekov shook his head and said, "The Agathelid Peninsula Fortress is too small, you must open the Qiulijin Peninsula Fortress."

The Qiulijin Peninsula Fortress is the main body of the entire Vladivostok defense system and is also the position that Alekseyev is preparing to hold on to. If civilians are allowed to enter the fortress, it will seriously affect the defense work of the fortress.

"There is no room for negotiation!"

Alekseyev finally rejected Gorodekov's proposal and refused to open the Qiulijin Peninsula Fortress.

While the two were in a stalemate, the sound of the Chinese Emperor's team's attacking cannon sounded again, and the earth suddenly shook, making the house rustling.

The guards came in and reported: "Report to the commander, Lord Master, that the enemy is using the fortress artillery on the second river fortress of our army to shell the city."

Alekseyev hurriedly got up, came to the window and looked at it with a telescope. He saw that hundreds of fortress cannons on the second river fortress in the northwest direction had turned the guns and blasted towards the city of Vladivostok and the first river fortress.

One powerful fortress shell was falling into the city, and each shell could easily destroy a house. In a moment, most of the western suburbs of Vladivostok were trapped in thick smoke and fire. The houses collapsed in rows, and countless Vladivostok citizens were crowded and wailed on the streets.

"Damn it, why didn't the cannon be destroyed before losing the position?"

"I think not only the cannons were not destroyed, but the ammunition was also under the enemy!"

"Damn Menregisky!"

Alekseev was extremely angry. He was even more annoyed when he learned that the Second River Fortress had fallen. He knew very well that the firepower and ammunition reserves of the Second River Fortress. One-third of the artillery and ammunition in the Vladivostok Fortress were stored there. The shell reserves were as high as 30,000 rounds, and the gunpowder reserves reached witch tons. It is said that from the moment the Second River Fortress was broken, the Russian military commander would blow up all the fortress cannons and detonate the ammunition depots and die together. But now the result is to invest in all the enemies. How can this not make Alekseev angry? Thinking that so many supplies were investing in the enemy, he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Chief of Staff Klosky said: "If it were the enemy's infantry artillery, I think the first river fortress could be withstood for a while, but now it seems that the cunning enemy has used some method to run to the second river fortress, so that our fortress cannons were turned into the gun port by the enemy to bombard ourselves. In this way, the first river fortress lasted less than an hour. If the enemy airship came to air strike, it might not have even lasted for half an hour!"

Then, Klosky turned to Governor Gorodekov and said, "I think we have no time to evacuate the citizens in the suburbs, and even the citizens in the eastern part of the city have only more than half an hour to evacuate.

Gorodekov glared and said, "Half an hour? It's too late to walk!"

Klosky said: "We have no choice! If you don't evacuate, we will prohibit citizens from evacuating the fortress after the enemy attacks the city."

Gorodekov frowned and said, "What do you mean? Did you want us to become slaves of the country? How did you promise at the beginning? What Vladivostok fortress is indestructible, and citizens do not need to worry about the enemy, they cannot attack. If it weren't for believing in you, how could we stay here and be surrounded?"

Closky immediately lowered his head and he was speechless.

Alekseev sighed and said, "We did not expect the offensive of the Chinese Emperor* team to be so fierce and fast. You have also seen it in the past ten days. The second river fortress is indeed indestructible."

"Indestructible?" Gorodekov snorted coldly: "I lost it in one night but still dare to say it is indestructible?"

Alekseev was speechless, and the problems were all over the place because the indestructible Second River Fortress was lost silently overnight, so that Alekseev was caught off guard and was now in an extremely passive situation.

"Damn it, what happened there, why did you lose it in one night?

We didn't even hear anything?"

No one knows the answer, not to mention that the artillery fire of the Chinese Empire is getting closer and closer.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A series of explosions of shells approached the Governor's Mansion, shattering the roof, and the sand and soil fell into pieces, and everyone was covered in dust. Gorodekov was even more choked and coughed.

"Your Excellency Commander, Governor General, we must quickly withdraw from the fortress, it is not safe here."

Alekseev sighed, "Where is there a safe place in the city, if the city falls into the Vladivostok fortress, it will become a lonely army. How could the war suddenly take a sharp turn? Alekseev was afraid of the Chinese Emperor's team for the first time.

On the second river fortress in the distance, Duan Qirui, commander of the Second Front Army of the Chinese Empire, Liang Huadian, commander of the Third Front Army of the CIA, and Li Guodong, director of the Central Intelligence Bureau, stood on the fortress high ground and looked at the downtown Vladivostok below. Behind them were the combat staff of the headquarters. Not far from the left and right, the fortress in the fortress was the fortress in the fortress, and a huge gunfire shot towards the city.

"Report, the attack echelon is in place, will it launch an impact?"

"Standby!"

"yes!"

Duan Qirui did not immediately launch the infantry to attack the city, so Lianghuadian asked: "Old Duan, what are your tactics?"

Duan Qirui said: "Lao Liang, don't you think it would be better to drive these Russian civilians into the fortifications of the Russian army?"

Lianghua Palace thought about it and it must be reasonable for Duan Qirui to say this, so he said, "Don't keep it aside!"

Duan Qirui smiled and said, "There must be more than 200,000 civilians below. We drove all of these people into the Russian fortress. First, it will cause the Russian fortress to be crowded and affect the Russian combat performance. Second, the demand for so many people to eat, drink, pull, sleep and other day must be very large. The reserves of Vladivostok fortress will be in a few days. Third, these ordinary people do not know the cruelty of the war. Our attacks on the Russian fortress these days will inevitably lead to the scene of hell everywhere in the fortress. These ordinary people will definitely be scared to death when they go in. It would be strange if we don't go crazy. Finally, if we use poison gas to attack the people in the city, we will give people a handle and we will feel sad. But if the ordinary people are in the Russian fortress, the situation will be very different."

Li Guodong next to him suddenly smiled and said, "Commander Duan is indeed far-sighted and admired!"

Duan Qirui smiled and said, "It's too much, Lord Li." Liang Huadian said, "More than 20,000 enemies were reimbursed in a few hours last night. Let's do it again tonight. I think the Vladivostok fortress should be wiped out."

Duan Qirui sighed and said, "I reimbursed more than 20,000 enemies in just a few hours last night. It's really against the will of heaven."

Li Guodong said: "Your Majesty will be here tomorrow afternoon. Can you please your Majesty and your Majesty be happy today!"

Duan Qirui said: "I don't care about pleasing Your Majesty with joy. But when Your Majesty comes, the General Staff and the Chiefs of the War Zone Command will definitely seek credit in front of Your Majesty. At that time, they will order our army to attack the fortress at all costs. I don't know how many brothers will die."

A general succeeded and his bones were bleak. When he heard Duan Qirui's words, Liang Huadian and Li Guodong were silent.

Soon, Duan Qirui laughed again and said, "There is no reason to let our brothers sacrifice. You have to be cruel when it is time to be cruel. Anyway, the Russian Russians have caused a lot of harm to the Chinese people over the years, and they have more than enough death."

"That's right! Why do we feel sorry for these beasts? They didn't see them pity us when they massacred and bullied us!"

The three soon reached an agreement to continue using poison gas if Alekseyev did not surrender.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, the Chinese Emperor** used more than 100 fortress cannons on the second river fortress occupied to bombard the city of Vladivostok, causing tens of thousands of civilians to kill and injured. More than 200,000 Russian civilians flocked to the Galivia Fortress in the east of the city, the Qiulijin Peninsula Fortress in the southeast, and the Agathelid Peninsula Fortress in the south.

At first, Alekseev was worried that the Emperor of China would take the opportunity to follow the crowd to attack the fortress. After all, most of the artillery fire and fortifications in the fortifications were defended in the outside of the city and were weak in internal defense. After the Chinese Empire captured the second river fortification, the remaining Galivia Fortress of Vladivostok, the Qiulijin Peninsula Fortress, the Agathelid Peninsula Fortress, and the three fortifications were convenient for the fortifications. Alekseev was worried that the Emperor of China would take the opportunity to capture the fortress, so he strictly ordered that Russian civilians should not be allowed to enter the fortress.

However, the Chinese Emperor** only bombarded the city with the fortress, causing fear of the citizens of Vladivostok. As a result, they all rushed to the fortress and cried to go into the fortress to hide.

"This is the enemy's plan, we must not open the door. If the fortress gate is opened, the enemy will take the opportunity to rush in, and then we will be completely done."

Alekseev repeatedly rejected his subordinates' requests, but looking at the densely packed refugees outside the fortress and listening to their heart-wrenching wailing and crying, Alekseev and his subordinates were heartbroken.

Time was consumed like this. At around 12 o'clock noon, Duan Qirui ordered the second river fortress to start artillery fire, and carried out artillery shooting towards the Galivia Fortress in the east, the Qiulijin Peninsula Fortress in the south, and the Agathelid Peninsula Fortress in the south. Since the main fortifications of these three fortresses face the outside, the defense on the inner side facing the city was not strong enough. After being bombarded, the rear of the three fortresses collapsed in patches. The Russian soldiers above were killed and injured, and blood flowed into a river. Until this time, most of the citizens of Vladivostok really saw the cruel side of the war and became even more panicked.

Many facilities used to stop the people from entering the fortress were destroyed by artillery attacks, and most Vladivostok citizens believed that the fortress was definitely safe, so they no longer followed the persuasion of Russian soldiers and rushed through the checkpoints and into the fortress. Most of the Russian troops in Vladivostok fortress were affiliated with the Far East Military Region, and were brought by their families. Their families lived in Vladivostok and were also in the refugee tide. Therefore, at the beginning, they fired guns to stop the influx of refugees, but soon some Russian soldiers could no longer take action, so they let them go.

It doesn't matter if this release is released. More than 100,000 panic people flock in, causing the Russian fortress to be crowded and various passages soon become blocked.

Duan Qirui and others who saw this scene in the telescope immediately ordered the attacking echelon to start their operations.

Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Emperor ** gathered three troops in the northwest city of Vladivostok, heading towards the Galivia Fortress in the east, the Qiulijin Peninsula Fortress in the south, and the Agathelid Peninsula Fortress in the south.

At around two o'clock, the 15th Army launched a fierce attack on the first river fortress. Under the fierce artillery offensive, the 17th Infantry Brigade of the Russian Army, who guarded the first river fortress, collapsed without fighting. The reason was that the first river fortress was located in the center of Vladivostok. Due to the expansion and development of the city, the fortress had actually become a city in the city. When the news of the loss of the second river fortress reached the first river fortress, the Russian army guarding here had no intention of fighting. They were worried about being surrounded. The brigade commander Major General Pinkaska immediately gave up the first river fortress and fled. Then the 17th Infantry Brigade turned into birds and flew towards different fortresses.

At 2:30, the fifteenth army occupied the first river fortress.

At 2:50, the artillery brigade of the 15th Army concentrated the infantry artillery of the PS Gate, the 17th Infantry Artillery of the Bimen, and the 5mm heavy howitzer of the Bimen occupied, to launch artillery bombardment at the Lujiawaya Fortress, which is closest to the first river fortress. At the same time, the 35th Division, as the first attack echelon, began to attack the rear of the Lujiawaya Fortress. At the same time, outside the eastern part of the Lujiawaya Fortress, there was also the Third Front Army's Day Army launched an attack from the front to restrain the firepower of the Russian fortress.

As the 15th Army launched a fierce attack, Lujiawaya Fortress was attacked from both sides, and the Russian army was already exhausted from dealing with it. In addition, a large number of Russian refugees influx, the Russian army's troops were blocked everywhere, and the defense power dropped sharply.

The 15th Army seized the fighter jet and launched an attack with many Russian refugees. The panicked Russian refugees rushed into the fortress desperately, which not only blocked the Russian army in the fortress from reinforcements from outside, but also became the best target of cover for Emperor China.

At 3:40 pm, the 35th Division of the 15th Army led the way to the 4b highland and occupied the commanding heights of Lujiawaya Fortress. Then the heavy machine gun positions were arranged and they began to attack the Russian fortress position on the front on the other side of the hillside.

As the leaping regiment was condescending, the Russian defensive soldiers were basically facing their backs. As a result, the soldiers of the leaping regiment charged and rushed into the front fortress of the Russian army, and attacked the guards of the Russian army along the wall and the stairs, and rushed into the fortress fortress and shot the Russian artillery.

As the induction regiment successively destroyed a large number of Russian artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions, the fallen troops in the frontal attack were able to successfully attack the fortress. After the two armies met, they quickly cleared and resisted the Russian army.
