Chapter 159: Plan B
What? Fatal weakness!" Zhang Yunfei asked in surprise. Provide the latest chapter reading //
Zhao Gang immediately found the map of Vladivostok, and after unfolding it on the conference table, he gestured on the map, and said excitedly: "We have long studied Russia's only base in the Far East, Vladivostok, after it was ceded to the Russians, the Russians began to build cities and ports, which were built five years ago. The current total population is 120,000, including 55,000 combat troops of the 6th Army and 33,000 logistics troops. This is the headquarters of the Far East Border Defense Forces Command, General Gribsky. The Governor of the Binhai Prefecture is Grodjkov, and his Governor's Office is here! The navy and more than 20,000 logistics personnel, most of which have been killed by us! The remaining less than 20,000 civilians are mostly soldiers' families, merchants and Chinese."
"What do you want to do? You are not going to occupy this place!" Zhang Yunfei guessed.
"It is unlikely to occupy them. Their more than 50,000 6th Army is not a vegetarian! It is feasible to lose the Russian granaries and land for hoarding military supplies, and to destroy the cities and naval bases they have worked hard to build!" Lieutenant General Zhao Gang said.
After Zhang Yunfei stared at Zhao Gang for a while, he frowned and looked at the map of Vladivostok. He saw that the names of Vladivostok buildings and the locations of various military facilities had been marked on it, and even the sizes of nearby peninsular and islands were measured.
How did Zhao Gang get such a detailed military defense map?
"How did you get such a detailed map!" Zhang Yunfei asked.
Zhao Gang smiled and said, "I asked Director Zhang of the Military Intelligence Department to help me! I know that Yuan you are mainly Russians after returning to China, so prepare it in advance!"
Zhang Yunfei nodded and said, "Very good, you did it right, plan ahead! Tell me what you think!"
After saluting, he continued to point to the map and explained to Zhang Yunfei: "The city is located on the Pacific coast of Muravyov - the southern end of the Amur Peninsula, facing the Sea of Japan. The city is built on the mountain. The north of Vladivostok is the Ussuri Bay, the Greater Peter Bay and the Amur Bay. The city and port area are located on the coast of Golden Horn Bay at the top of the Amur Peninsula..."
"... Jinjiao Bay extends from southwest to northeast into the mainland, about 7 kilometers long. The bay at the entrance is about 1 kilometers wide, with a water depth of 2 bays less than 1 kilometers wide, and a water depth of 1. The south side of Jinjiao Bay is separated from the East Bosphorus Strait. There is a Russian island as a natural barrier. The bay is surrounded by low mountains and surrounded by hills, and the situation is dangerous..."
"...Because the winter ice-cracking period of Vladivostok provides the latest chapter readings." It will basically freeze after mid-November. It will not end until mid-April of the following year. It can be navigated with icebreakers. However, it is foggy in summer and autumn. Among them, the average foggy days from June to September are as many as one and a half months. Sometimes heavy fog affects the ship entering the harbor. Therefore, no mines have been arranged in the Vladivostok military port and the nearby waters of commercial ports."
"Yes. In winter, there are freezing areas everywhere. It is useless to lay mines. Due to heavy fog in summer and autumn, people cannot tell where the waterway is. They dare not lay mines.
At the same time, there is only the Qing Dynasty around, and Japan has a navy. The Russian huge Far East Fleet is stationed there. No country dares to plunder tiger beards. Therefore, there is no information on minefields, which is correct!" Zhang Yunfei analyzed to Zhao Gang.
"Because of this, I think the Russian Far East Fleet is completely destroyed. Vladivostok has no time to react in a short period of time. We take advantage of their absence from being attacked by Vladivostok. We don't ask to destroy the entire Vladivostok. As long as they destroy their supply supplies, they will starve to death even if they don't die." Zhao Gang said fiercely.
Zhang Yunfei thought for a long time and felt that Zhao Gangdi's proposal was very tempting.
Since the winter ice in Vladivostok lasts for half a year, and the Siberian Railway in Russia has not been completed yet. Therefore, Russia seems to be very powerful in the Far East, but has not taken the initiative to fight. The reason is that it is important to the inability to keep up with military supplies.
The difficulty of supply has made Russia able to transport supplies from sea to Vladivostok only once a year. The serious shortage of supplies has led to Russia's huge military existence being just a paper tiger, which scares people.
Therefore, Russia's strategy in the Far East was mainly to follow the great powers and take advantage of the situation to rob. Showing off his force to the Qing court would allow the timid and ignorant ministers of the court to sign a peace talks obediently.
In fact, it was not until the railway to the Far East that Russia dared to invade the Northeast on a large scale, which led to the pro-China alliance of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Russia occupied the entire northeast, which eventually led to Japan's indomitable endurance and the Russo-Japanese War broke out ahead of schedule.
Now it seems that if Russia's only estuary in the Far East is destroyed, the Russian team in the Far East will not be able to receive supplies, and the strategic situation will be unprecedentedly beneficial to Zhang Yunfei.
So Zhang Yunfei said happily: "That's great! Zhao Gang, you are really Zhuge's rebirth! If we can destroy the supplies of the Russian Far East army, we can rest assured!"
Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was very happy and praised him, Zhao Gang hurriedly said modestly: "As the saying goes, three cobblers are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are
Liang, I was actually under the leadership of Chief of Staff Tian Renjie, General Staff\Your wise leadership, and suddenly I had this idea!”
Seeing that Zhao Gang got a chance, he flattered. Zhang Yunfei was very helpless, but this flattery was sought by Zhao Gang's masterpieces, and Zhang Yunfei was very helpful.
However, no matter how happy you are, the specific actions are still a bit tricky.
Zhang Yunfei said: "You can send the navy to attack Vladivostok. Although there is no concern about mines, the heavy fog weather is still very unfavorable to our fleet's sneak attacks. The danger of hitting the reef must be guarded against!"
Zhao Gang said: "Please rest assured that although Vladivostok often has heavy fog, have you forgotten what season is now? Winter is coming soon. I heard from the Chief of Staff that there is no fog before heavy snow in winter. Our fleet can take advantage of this god-given opportunity to rush to Vladivostok!"
Yes, today is January, and it will be November soon. Vladivostok, far north, is already wintery. Before it snows and ice, there will be a short period of sunny days.
Zhang Yunfei admired Zhao Gang's analysis very much. Is this the real handsome talent? Only by knowing astronomy and geography, and being familiar with everything can we make full use of the laws of nature to find out the enemy's flaws.
"Okay! You know astronomy and geography, which is the commander!" Zhang Yunfei nodded with appreciation.
When Zhao Gang was praised by Zhang Yunfei again, he was a little embarrassed while being happy.
"It's all your cultivation!" Zhao Gang said modestly.
"Okay, don't flatter me! To be honest, the ability you have today is also the result of your own efforts. If you can get such a handsome talent as you, I should really say that I am the one who thanks me! Thank God for giving me a handsome talent!" Zhang Yunfei patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder and said sincerely.
It is a win over people's hearts again, but this trick has been tried and done! Zhao Gang was moved and burst into tears...
That's impossible!
But once, it doesn't work, and it still works a few more times. After following Zhang Yunfei for seven or eight years, Zhao Gang went from a poor man who was a poor man and a tycoon, to a servant who followed Zhang Yunfei to a dignified tycoon, to a minister who bullied men and women, to a dignified 6th Army Minister. Such kindness, even if Zhao Gang's heart is strong, it has melted up until now.
"Training horses and picking up stirrups for Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Gang is willing to go through fire and water, and he will never refuse!" Zhao Gang said excitedly.
Let us build a big country together!" Zhang Yunfei encouraged Zhao Gang.
At this time, the guards came in to report that the Pacific special fleet had arrived at Dalian Bay Wharf.
Zhang Yunfei hurriedly ordered Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang and Chief of Staff Xu to come to the command center immediately.
It was not long since the Pacific Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang and Navy Chief of Staff Xu Zhigang came to the command center.
Our great heroes are back!" Zhang Yunfei said happily.
Lin Jianzhang and Xu Zhigang both smiled, and Lin Jianzhang said: "It is only after all that our wise leadership of Yuan, our Pacific Fleet has achieved unprecedented victory!"
Zhang Yunfei was immune to Lin Jianzhang's flattery, so he said: "I have asked the General Staff to formulate your reward order, and you are indispensable. Now another important thing needs to be discussed with you!"
Lin Jianzhang and Xu Zhigang stood attentively and said, "Please assign tasks!"
Zhang Yunfei nodded and said to Zhao Gang: "Zhao Gang, tell them!"
After Zhao Gang received the order, he told Lin Jianzhang and Xu Zhigang about the entire plan to attack Vladivostok.
After listening to Zhao Gang's explanation, Lin Jianzhang said first: "The casualties of the navy have been placed in Lushun, and all the vacancy has been supplemented by reserve officers who come with the fleet.
Although it was a little tired, the morale was unprecedentedly strong, and they were as excited as eating big smoke. It took three days to get from here to Vladivostok, and there was enough energy to recover on the road! Moreover, the opponent only had shore artillery and no fleet threat. Therefore, the navy had no problems and guaranteed to complete the task."
Chief of Staff Xu said: "I looked at it and Vladivostok is surrounded by the sea on three sides, backed by mountains and primeval forests. The only way out is a road less than 10 meters wide along the coast of the Amur Peninsula. Due to the geographical location, Vladivostok has only a small habitable area. Russian military camps, granaries, weapons and ammunition depots and other military areas are basically concentrated together, and they are located on the west coast of Golden Horn Bay. If our fleet is shelling in the Sea of Japan, there are some low mountains and hills in the middle. Although there are aircraft firing, the ballistics of naval guns will not easily hit them."
Zhao Gang also found this problem and said, "But if we do not shell Vladivostok in the Sea of Japan, we will get Amur Bay to the west. However, the water depth there is only 1. Our battleship will easily run into the reef and will be stranded. Moreover, it is the front of Vladivostok Castle. Due to the shallow water, the other party is likely to send a small boat to harass our battleship." (To be continued,)
