The east side has already brightened, and the land of the north has once again seen the long-lost sun

However, the only Russian Far East port in Vladivostok was not seen. The continuous shelling of the Pacific Fleet made this Far East fortress give up its ambition to control the East and honestly

The thick smoke covered the sky of Vladivostok. After dawn, the sun could not penetrate the thick black smoke above Vladivostok. Vladivostok started to burn, like a hellfire, like a cooked crab, all red.

While the Pacific Fleet battleship formation guns, the formation of seven heavy cruisers has reached the west of Vladivostok and the east of Ussuri Bay.

As a heavy cruiser formation, their main gun caliber is of course not as terrifying as the battleships, but the advantage of heavy cruisers is that they have a large number of medium guns and are fast firing.

Seven heavy cruisers lined up in a row in the north and south direction along the east coast of Ussuri Bay, and the central part covered the entire territory of Vladivostok and could also fill the blind spots of battleship formation artillery.

When the signal flares slowly landed, the heavy cruiser fleet fired together, calibrated the target in advance, and concentrated firepower to shoot.

Compared with mobile warships that attack the enemy in naval battles, shelling fixed targets is a pediatric department for all officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet who are hard to practice the ability to kill enemies.

From raiding Japanese and Turkish, shelling Japanese Wugang, Osaka, Yokosuka, to shelling Havana coastal artillery in the Spanish colony Cuba, to shelling Manila in the Philippines, from the Battle of Manila to the Battle of Andaman, to the Battle of the Yellow Sea not long ago, so many shelling coastal cities and fortresses, as well as experience in naval battles, this naval force has grown after three years of hard training.

The hard training of daily life has given the officers and soldiers a solid foundation, and the smoke and fire of war in the war has made them rich in experience, ease, and full of confidence.

The officers and soldiers from all over the land seemed to have taken stimulants and regarded shelling Vladivostok as a game of the world. They enjoyed it.

In the room of a second-level secondary artillery gun, I saw that on the left side of the cannon, there were neatly discharged ammunition boxes. The boxes were all open. Five shells were placed side by side in each box. The ground on the other side was filled with shell shells after shooting. One by one, the golden light flashed. Many shell shells were still emitting white smoke.

Dong!

The shooter pulled the trigger and didn't even see if he hit it. He turned around and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Click!

A deputy gunner opened the gun door.* Another deputy gunner next to him immediately pulled the shell shell out of the gun door with both hands with wet gloves.

With a crisp metal impact, the shell shell fell onto the deck, and white smoke blew.

With a squeak, the metal rubbed and the shells were loaded.

Click!

The gun door is locked!

"It's over!" shouted the deputy gunner.

"Fire the cannon!" the cannon commanded.

Dong!

After hearing the order, the shooter pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Correct the error! Change the elevation angle to 39 degrees, direction c15." After receiving the order from the superior, the gunner hurriedly conveyed it.

The movements are cycled over and over again. If you don’t have hard training, you will definitely feel boring.

Even though the air was very cold, everyone's foreheads and temples were already sweating slightly. But the most exaggerated thing was not them, but the shell transporters who were pushing the cart back and forth between the various artillery positions and the ammunition depots. Because the firing degree of each artillery position was far higher than the normal naval warfare level, the shells were consumed very quickly. These transporters simply took off their cotton coats, and some even barely raised their arms to transport shells for each artillery position.

The morale of the Pacific Fleet is high, but the Russian defenders in Vladivostok are crying and screaming at their parents, and howling wolves are everywhere.

The Russians never dreamed that since Peter the Great, the Russians had been invading and expanding foreign countries. Now their country has been suddenly bombarded by unknown origins, and everyone is in danger and panic.

Grodjkov, who was sleeping in Tsarist Russian Ocean, was suddenly awakened by the thunderous explosion. Grodjkov was a typical executioner. Since Russia began to build a city in Vladivostok, border conflicts have never stopped. The cowardice of the Qing army made the Russians even more arrogant and constantly conflicted borders. Their hands were covered with Chinese blood, and Grodjkov was the initiator.

Grodjkov hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, shouting, "What happened?"

The guards on duty rushed in in panic.

"Governor General, no, we are attacked by unknown enemies! There are explosions of shells everywhere outside.

"What? How is it possible? Who dared to attack the fortress of the Great Russian Empire after taking advantage of the leopard's courage?" Grodjkov looked disbelief, but when he saw the situation outside through the window, he was stunned by the situation outside.

I saw artillery fire outside, thick smoke rolling, covering the sky and the sun.

"Oh, my God!" Governor Grodjkov shook his head wide, and continued, "Get the Far East Command right away!

Ask what happened?"

The guard did not move, but said with a sad face: "Report to the Governor General, I called just now, but the telephone line was broken."

"Then are you standing so stupidly? Run and ask!" Governor Grodjkov immediately cursed with a fire hat.

"Yes!" The guard turned around and rushed out immediately.

boom!

A shell happened to land behind the guards. Governor Grodjkov saw the guards flying into the air by the shells, and then fell more than ten meters away, bloody and bloody.

"Damn it!" Governor Grodjkov shouted, not saying that the guard should die, but cursing the shell that was not the time.

Perhaps it was a revenge on Grodjkov's curse, and when he looked up and heard a burst of shells slashing through the sky, he immediately realized that it was not good.

boom!

Another shell fell to the Governor's Mansion and was hitting Grodjkov's house. It exploded violently, and in an instant, the compact two-story building was razed to the ground.

After a long time, somewhere in the ruins, one hand broke out from the ground, and then a blood-covered head came out from behind with the other hand. It was Governor Grodjkov, but after that, he tried his best and could no longer move because his lower body was pressed by heavy objects.

"Help!" Governor Grodjkov shouted weakly.

But just as he looked up at the sky, he saw a piece of wood on the ruins on his head breaking after the fire burned, and smashed down towards his head.

"God!" Governor Grodjkov shouted the last two words before his eyes were pitch black.

Boom boom!

Several more shells fell around, and the high temperature generated by the explosion instantly ignited the surrounding broken wood, and then the Governor's Mansion turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The Russian Far East Military and Political Command along the Golden Horn Bay is the only high military institution in Russia in the Far East, with great power. The Russian Far East Fleet and all Far East troops are under the jurisdiction of this place. Their high military and political commander is Lieutenant General Gribsky.

It’s strange that the commander of the Russian Far East Fleet is General Akreyev, while the military and political commander of the Far East is a lieutenant general, and the general is the lieutenant general. Perhaps only the dark Russian team system can be done.

The sudden attack of the Pacific Fleet made the Russian Far East garrison who was sleeping without any defense. The fierce shelling destroyed most of the military buildings in an instant, and the Russian ** battalion, which was written on the blacklist of artillery, was given priority to care for.

The long-term state of unpreparedness paralyzed the spiritual will of the Russian Far East garrison, causing chaos to fall into chaos when it was suddenly attacked by the Pacific Fleet.

The fierce shelling made the Russian ** team officials in the chaos unable to find the soldiers and the soldiers could not find the officials.

"Report, sir, have contacted the command centers of District 5 and District 8!" The communications officer reported to Lieutenant General Gribsky, Minister of Military Affairs.

"What? Only two are contacted in eight military subdistricts? What is the specific situation?" Lieutenant General Gribsky asked with a deep face.

"Reported to the fifth area, there were many casualties in the fifth area, and less than two thousand people escaped. The third and sixth areas that were close to them were attacked by the enemy at the beginning, and there were fire everywhere, and no one rushed out. Reported to the eighth area, the military district was in chaos after being attacked, and no senior general could be found." Communications Staff Report.

"Where did the enemy come from?" asked Lieutenant General Gribsky.

"The entire Vladivostok fortress was bombarded everywhere, with too much smoke and less than twenty meters of visibility. However, the defenders on the city wall did not invade the existing enemy. Judging from the scale of the shelling, the enemy had at least two artillery divisions, respectively, bombarding me from the east and west directions." The communications staff reported.

"Fart! How could there be two artillery divisions? We are not plains here. How can the artillery of the two divisions be deployed?" Lieutenant General Gribsky cursed angrily.

However, I was thinking in my mind that according to the firepower, there was indeed the power of two artillery divisions. But I just said that it was impossible to set up two artillery divisions near Vladivostok, and there were only the Qing Dynasty nearby. At best, the Qing Dynasty only had more than a dozen city defense cannons that were assembled as facades.

Then there is no such thing as 6, so it can only be at sea? Only Britain and Japan can have such great strength.

‘Yes! It must be the damn British and the Japanese who declared war on us!’ Lieutenant General Gribsky thought to himself.

Why didn't this guy think it was Zhang Yunfei's fleet?

The reason is that since the Siberian telegraph line in Russia was laid, problems often arise. Two weeks ago, the telegraph line was interrupted again. Vladivostok was originally geographically desolate, and winter was approaching, and merchant ships were decreasing, so foreign news was interrupted. However, he did not receive the telegram from Russian Emperor Nicholas II to Vladivostok in St. Petersburg. He knew nothing about the news that the Russian Far East Fleet was wiped out in Lushun.
