The Russian Far East Command, that is, in Vladivostok, the Chinese fleet is still in the open sea, and occasionally a few cannons will be fired at the Vladivostok side, along with the outer defense line on the sea side, the Linhai battery was destroyed, and the Far Eastern Front faced a powerful fleet that could not resist, and there was almost no way to solve it, and the only counter-charge was also carried out by the mine strike boats, which itself was taken into account that the Chinese fleet had no experience, and there was a large fleet in the air, which may not be able to give full play to the effect of the large fleet, and a large number of high-speed mine strike boats could be effectively attackedPerhaps, stealing a few ships can be regarded as discouragement of the Chinese fleet.

But the result was a nightmare, not only did the other side not panic, but with a part of the escort warships, they cleaned up the mine-striking boats one by one, showing skillful skills and accurate artillery ability, after that, the Pacific Fleet no longer dared to send troops, and the remaining sporadic fleets were not at all opponents of the Chinese fleet, rather than letting the soldiers risk the danger of death to attack, it was better to stop in the harbor to protect the ships.

The Navy was pressed and beaten, which is also normal, itself, since the Russo-Japanese War in 1906, after the First and Second Pacific Fleets received a huge blow, Russia has not strengthened the Pacific Fleet much, as long as China has a fleet above the standard, it can press the Pacific Fleet, not to mention, with 6 super capital ships.

The navy can't be changed like this, but the army is actually about the same, China's million-strong army, so that the army doesn't even dare to make a move, shrinking to Vladivostok, this time discovering the gap of the other side, and attacking without hesitation, is also to boost morale, by the way to hit the arrogant Chinese army.

The commander of the Far Eastern Military District was a little anxious, and the 300,000-strong army set off. The Far Eastern Military District is quite bottomless, to be honest. The Northern Fleet, on its own. Knocked out Russia's confidence, it turned out that they have not paid attention to it, and even after losing millions of troops, China, which is still underestimated, has grown to the point where the navy that Russia can still rely on has been surpassed by China, a navy that once had no foundation at all. They already have capital ships, and when they are strong, to what extent will the army be strengthened.

They are clear about the war a few years ago, and even now, in the Far Eastern Military District, there are still a small number of people who participated in those two wars, and they have brought these people out for the sake of the current war. Back then, because of the failure, no one wanted to touch the tsar's mold, so they didn't ask much, and most people felt it. Maybe it's the luck of the Chinese who really know it after they have a deep understanding. It turns out that unconsciously, China has grown to this extent. As far as the army field is concerned, Russia is far behind.

If. China is concentrating heavy troops, if it directly attacks Vladivostok, the Far Eastern Military District does not even dare to strike easily, the reason is very simple, the cluster of Chinese troops is very terrible, the Chinese actually do not do their job, a large number of troops are dispersed, which makes Russia see hope, no matter what, no matter how strong the opponent is, they will also pursue victory, if they don't even have this courage, they really can't say, Russia uses more than 4 times the strength of the force, dealing with the 2nd line troops, It's not a regular army in the northwest, but the real situation really can't be said.

Almost every day, Vladivostok contacted Marebev to know the progress of the dispatch army, but four days ago, there was no more news, when entering the range of the Chinese army, there were only less than 300 special forces, completely cut off their rear road, a large force of the enemy is not easy to deal with, but a small number of heralds and some relatively weak logistics troops can be dealt with.

On the defense line of only a few dozen kilometers, the special combat personnel were elusive, constantly killing and wounding lone people, or a team of no more than 30 people at most, in one fell swoop, cutting off the contact between Vladivostok and the dispatch army, even if it was only a distance of more than 100 kilometers, and even the area actually controlled by the Russian army was no more than 60 kilometers from the side of Xingkai Lake.

In this way, the communication between the dispatch army and the Far East Command was severed, and the tension in the Far East Command was even more serious, and no one could be sure what was going on, but this problem suddenly appeared, which was definitely not good news, they searched as much as possible, sent a large number of soldiers, and investigated what happened here, but they all fell into the sea, and when Vladivostok was in shock and did not know what was happening, a large number of routs fled back.

3% of 300,000, that is, nearly 10,000, after fleeing in a hurry, they were intercepted by special forces, but they were too many, and they ran everywhere, especially in the later period, and formed clusters, in the wilderness, it was too close to Vladivostok, even the special forces did not dare to set up a firm position here, in case they were outflanked by the Russian army, it would be over.

Because of this, these people ran to the range of Vladivostok, and also brought the final encounter of Marebev, when he heard that there were 300,000 people, only such a few people left, the commander of the Far East almost looked dark, this is 300,000 people, and it is also the only mobile force that Vladivostok can use, so it was all explained to Xingkai Lake, is it a trap on the other side of Xingkai Lake?

The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible, and even all the senior officers in Vladivostok think it is true, otherwise how could it be possible to kill 300,000 regular troops so quickly, and there are more than 2 million troops in Vladivostok, but these armies have just been established, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, and 300,000 troops can be filled in a few days, so many troops, and they can be filled several times.

The most important thing is that the other side still only used 3 divisions, maybe they are first-line divisions instead of second-line divisions, but this combat effectiveness is too terrifying, 4 times the personnel advantage, no absolute mistakes have been made, and there are only less than 10,000 people left.

The strength of the Chinese army is far beyond the imagination of the Russian army, 300,000 troops, even if it is 300,000 pigs, it will take time to kill, but the northwest has shown great combat effectiveness, in one day, the superior artillery fire was used, and half of it was killed, and then interspersed with encirclement, leaving 10,000 of the 300,000 people left. Such a strong attack force makes the Russian army no longer dare to act rashly, and the 2.8 million troops in the entire Far East can be comparable to 300,000 troops, only 8.9 million people, and if they really fight hard with the Chinese army, I am afraid they are really not opponents.

What to do, this is the only thought in the hearts of all the officers in Vladivostok, some of the bottom, directly thought of surrendering, maybe surrendering to the opponent, there will be a good choice, but soon, they don't think much about it, if they stay in the Russian army, maybe there is a turnaround, Vladivostok is a defensive fortress that has been built over the years, and even strengthened in the past year.

It took hundreds of years to build the stone city and set up a fortress, and in the past few hundred years, it has been reinforcing the defense of Vladivostok, even if it was plowed by the Northern Fleet, and the seaside batteries were hit hard, which can only affect the seaside, the military port, the real three-dimensional system of Vladivostok, not a simple naval gun can affect, the main body of the defense is still there.

Chita is just a small hub city, Vladivostok from the beginning of construction, is the core of the entire Siberian Military District and an important port, about his defense, has not stopped, a hundred years, especially in the past year, built a complete combat system, think there is a chance.

Although, on the topic, the next method of operation was finally confirmed, that is, to retreat near Vladivostok and not seek an opportunity to take the initiative to fight.

This time the Xingkai Lake Resistance Battle, although not big, the two sides of the battle are not many, the total is less than 400,000, but it is 1915, the turning point of China's first Siberian War, since then, a large group of Russian troops, only dare to hide in Vladivostok, the root cause of their ability to hold on, but also because of the Russian attack on the Far East, in the previous supplies, sent supplies at the same time, but also sent the latest instructions of the Russian Tsar, they must defend here, Attract at least a part of the Chinese army, and if they can counterattack Chita, they can also attack, and wait for the Russian attack on the whole to be completed, and their task will be completed.

To put it bluntly, if Russia can break Chita and drive the Chinese army back, they can be rescued, and even according to merit, they will be quite rewarded, but if the Russian army does not break through Chita, but suffers heavy losses in Chita and completely fails, their fate will be over, and there is no possibility of initiative at all.

3 days later, the reinforcements were in place, completely plugging the loophole, and then along the direction of Vladivostok, a solid defensive line was formed, more than 18 divisions, 450,000 troops, neatly distributed around Vladivostok 9 points, they are fixed defense, 2 divisions, or field divisions, can easily resist at least 5 times more Russian attacks, even if the Russian army mobilizes a larger number of troops, they will get reinforcements in a day or two.

The most important thing is that the establishment of five field airfields, here in Xingkai Lake, on the original basis, the construction of field airfields, can be put into use in a maximum of 15 days, once the decision is made to attack Vladivostok, the aircraft is a huge weapon, in that case, even if Vladivostok is destroyed, in order to finally obtain the whole of East Siberia, and even for the future of Central Siberia and even West Siberia to lay a good foundation, it is necessary in 1915, completely solve the East Siberia.
