January 2nd, Tuesday, on the eighth day of the 10th month of the 23rd year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty

Today is a memorable day for 40 to 50 million comrades in the Qing Dynasty. Since the Treaty of Nebchu two hundred years ago, the people of the Qing Dynasty have been harassed and bullied by this blind man from Russia./

Now it is different. With the demise of the Russian Far East fleet, Russia has actually lost its overlord position in the Far East. This has also enabled Zhang Yunfei's Pacific Fleet to drive straight into the heart of Russia's Far East, Vladivostok.

As early as yesterday evening, the Pacific Fleet had arrived. According to the plan, the battleship formation was anchored on the Japanese Sea, a kilometers east of Vladivostok. The heavy cruiser formation and the patrol fleet protected the transport ships to enter the west coast of Ussuri Bay under the cover of night to carry out the 6th. Then the 6th troops followed Ussuri Bay and went north to the west side of Amur Mountain, and then camped on the spot, built fortifications, blocked Vladivostok's only external channel, and completely cut off all external contacts from Vladivostok.

After the cover of the six troops landed on the shore, the heavy cruiser fleet was on standby, waiting for the general attack order. The patrol fleet crossed Ussuri Bay and penetrated horizontally into Greater Peter Bay, blocking the only sea way out of Vladivostok defenders, and waiting for an opportunity to go north to enter Golden Horn Bay, and cooperate with the fleet's shelling operation on Vladivostok.

At 11 o'clock that night, all the units of the Pacific Fleet were in place. The Pacific Fleet Navy 6 team 3,000 soldiers were all wearing white-haired cotton wool squids, looking energetic. The guards of Yongshan in Hunchun led the three thousand cavalry teams and two thousand infantry soldiers without war horses, and only had to follow the 6 teams of Navy 6 teams. Finally, the first squadron of the Meiliang Brigade was the first squadron of the Meiliang Brigade, with a total of ten groups and one hundred special forces. Under the leadership of the first squadron leader Lieutenant Colonel Wu Di, they did not follow the large army, but instead took a small path and quietly touched Vladivostok.

According to the agreement, the fleet will launch a total attack at dawn, and the shelling time will be lowered by two hours depending on the effect. The task of the 6th Army is to tightly block the Russians' way to flee north and cut off all foreign contacts from the Russians.

Otherwise, there might be reinforcements from the Russian team from Berley, and the 6th Army would face the danger of being attacked from both sides.

The sky was drizzling with snow, not very cold, giving the Pacific Fleet enough cover and preparation time. However, according to the Yongshan Law, although the snow gave us cover, once it stopped, it would be extremely cold. Several harbors near Vladivostok were likely to freeze.

What impact will it have on the Pacific Fleet? But I can't say it?

"I don't know what kind of dreams these Slavs are going tonight? Maybe these Slavs would never dream of them being dissatisfied tomorrow! Sizzling!" Yongshan rode on his ground and was quietly sizzling a large number of Krupp camp cannons and Maxim heavy machine guns. He drooled as if he saw someone else's pretty girl.

"That's it! Sir, their wheels are not wooden, nor are they like iron lands. They are so big. A group of horses are pulled. It must have something to do with this wheel." Shunliu said.

"No. It's so greedy. After the war, I have to ask them how many doors they want to come!" Yongshan said withdrew his gaze.

It is really the land and water that nourishes people. If you go to many places, you will feel it deeply. The geographical environment, climate and soil of each place give birth to the unique people in this place. Their personality, language, methods of doing things, and ways of doing things are all in this specific place.

It has been passed down and continued from generation to generation. Even if the times change, there is always something rooted in the essence, which is consistent.

Among European countries, Russia is clearly the one that has a big difference. Due to the bad weather in Russia, there are snow all year round, and more than 80% of the territory is covered with snow. One-third of the year is winter, and "cold" should be the deep impression of everyone on Russia.

Due to the cold, it is difficult to see the large glass windows and balconies protruding in Russia. Most buildings have small windows. In order to avoid wind and cold, the doors are generally two floors and not too large, so that the indoor temperature can be maintained as much as possible.

Because of the cold, the Slavs also paid great attention to keeping warm. It seemed that people's expressions were also frozen by the cold, and it was difficult to see a "sunny smile". Compared to the bright sunshine everywhere in Spain, the Slavs needed to hide their faces and hands in their hats and gloves. It was also because of the cold that the Slavs had to accumulate more fat to defend against the severe cold, so the Slavs looked tall and burly.

The snow is still falling. After the breeze blows, the crystal clear snowflakes are spinning in the air.

It seems that the Russians here have adapted to this kind of weather,

Stay at home and sleep soundly, only the flames in the fireplace crackle from time to time

The sea level in the east of the horizon has gradually turned pale. Waiting on the Pacific Fleet battleship formation on the Japanese Sea, a group of officers had already washed up and led the soldiers to do morning exercises.

On the bridge of the battleship Beijing battleship, Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang, the commander of the fleet, had already stayed there early, his eyes were a little dark, probably because he could not sleep last night.

The heights are so cold that Lin Jianzhang sat at the age of twenty-seven to the high position of the Minister of the Navy and the Commander of the Fleet. In other people's eyes, he was glorious, but who knows how much sweat and hard work he has put in behind him?

Since he was appointed, he has to consider all aspects in every battle, for fear of something going wrong.

Someone came, and the floor behind him creaked and signaled.

Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang looked back and saw Chief of Staff Xu and Major General Meng Mu, the captain of the Beijing battleship. Behind them were Lin Taizeng, Liu Bu and other Beiyang Navy generals.

Their arrival filled the bridge, which was not very wide, with no choice. It was not like fighting, but like a navy watch.

"It is already close to the fifteen-nautical miles of Vladivostok, and the battleship formation will arrive at the attack position in half an hour!" Chief of Staff Xu said to Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang.

The war is about to begin. Although there is no stimulation and excitement in the naval battle, it is still a very happy thing to shell the Russian fortress and pluck the Russian iron rooster.

"How are the other combat units?" Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang asked. He did not turn around, but looked at Vladivostok at the foot of Mount Amur, which was getting closer and closer.

"The heavy cruiser fleet and the coast patrol fleet have successively telegraphed and have entered the predetermined attack and blockade positions. The communications and communications ship fleet is also ready to shoot at both sides. At present, there is no news for the 6th Navy team left." Chief Xu reported.

Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang turned around and looked at the sea level in the distance. Seeing that the sun was about to rise, he launched a total attack at dawn according to the scheduled plan. However, there is still no news from the Navy Team 6, which caused a slight turmoil in Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang's heart, who was originally very calm.

"How is the aerial reconnaissance situation in Vladivostok?" Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang asked.

Chief of Staff Xu reported: "According to the report of the ship, our reconnaissance aircraft carried out aerial reconnaissance in Vladivostok. At present, more than 20 key targets have been determined. Among them, there have been three granaries, eight barracks, six fortresses, and one arsenal, but there are five suspected arms ammunition depots. And they are built behind the mountain, and our firepower can only cover two-thirds of the range. I estimate that the Russians must have more than one ammunition depot. The rest should be at the bottom of the mountain, which is the dead end of the artillery shooting of our battleship formation, and it depends on the heavy cruiser formation."

"War? There is no perfect one. After entering the combat position, when attacking key military targets, you must first knock out the Russian command system. First, their Binhai Prefecture Governor's Office, the Far East Military and Political Command, and even their Police Department must be included in the first round of attack targets. First, they must paralyze their command center." Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang ordered.

"Yes!" Chief of Staff Xu replied.

Although the fish belly has been seen on the sea level, the darkness before dawn is still at the foot of Mount Amur.

If it weren't for snowing, the surrounding mountains were shining with faint white light, this coalition composed of the 6th Navy Team and the border troops in Jilin Town would not know when it would arrive at the predetermined location?

This is also thanks to the help of Hunchun guarding Yongshan. It turned out that Colonel Lin Zejia, the commander of the 6th Navy, held the topographic map around Vladivostok, but because it was dark and snowing, it was white and there was nothing to tell.

In addition, the scouts who have not had snow training cannot tell the difference. There is the location marked on the map, and they can only make a guess based on the direction.

At the same time, in order not to be exposed, we have to clean up the scattered Russian houses along the way, so we move slowly.

Just when Colonel Lin Zejia was anxious, Yongshan knew the situation, so he casually sent a few familiar Qing soldiers to help the scouts find their way.

In this way, this mixed army did not arrive on the road at the foot of Mount Amur until almost six o'clock. According to intelligence, this road was the only way out for Vladivostok to the outside world.

The road is about six meters wide, facing the sea to the south, and mountains to the north, which belongs to a coastal highway.

When Colonel Lin Zejia, commander of the 6th Navy Team, set foot on the road built by the Russians, he felt relieved and was about to order the road to be blocked and the construction of east-west fortifications.

"Report to the fleet immediately and inform the fleet commander Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang that our headquarters, together with the border troops in Jilin Town, has arrived at the destination as planned and is building fortifications, ready to stop the Russian team from fleeing north at any time! It's over!"

As Colonel Lin Zejia finished speaking, the correspondent handed over the telegram documents to him, and it took effect after Colonel Lin Zejia signed.

Then Colonel Lin Zejia sent a reconnaissance platoon to look for Russian telegram routes to the outside world along the highway.
