This troop mobilization in the Far East was large-scale. Among them, the 4th Field Army, which was originally dispatched to defend the area in Outer Mongolia, advanced 15 kilometers directly. One of the two corps originally responsible for the defense of Changchun was mobilized to the north of the Lushun area.
In response to the defense, troops from the Shanghai Shenwei area in the north, troops from the Outer Mongolia region in the Far East, and troops from the outer Northeast all advanced toward the Tsarist Russian region by 10-20 kilometers to the front.
The Yellow Sea Fleet, which was originally stationed in the Vladivostok area, directly entered the second level of combat readiness. It seemed to be ready to respond to attacks launched by the Tsarist Russian authorities at any time. However, a loophole in the defense was also exposed in the process, that is, between Outer Mongolia and the Outer Northeast region.
There is a section with only three regular garrison divisions and less than 10,000 troops in the general army order, but they need to defend and defend a 25-kilometer border.
However, the Tsarist Russian authorities would never have imagined that this was a bait deliberately arranged by Li Ningyu. If the Tsarist Russian authorities dared to attack here, then the garrison that seemed to have only 10,000 troops would actually have the firepower equivalent to 150,000 army troops, because here
Two divisions of howitzer regiments and two divisions of armored units are also deployed, and can also receive artillery support from the Far East Navy naval guns.
In the first South Asian and Northeastern War, the Far East was completely outnumbered in terms of number of troops. The victory of the Northeastern War was mainly due to the main force of the Tsarist Russian fleet standing still. It only dispatched the Northern Fleet in the early stage of the war, and in the middle and late stages of the war.
It only dispatched maritime ships to strengthen defense. It was not until the battle for the Port Arthur area was completely over that Tsarist Russia reacted. However, by that time, the Far East Army had already aggressively suppressed the border.
After taking control of the Lushun area, the Far East not only occupied Lushun and controlled the military port, but also started the first phase of recruiting troops to prepare for the upcoming large-scale ground operations in the Northeast. Therefore, in the nearly one month after taking over the Lushun area,
During this time, the Far East actively prepared and recruited as many as 50,000 troops. They were successively organized into two garrison armies, mainly responsible for transportation and logistics support for the Northeast Field Army.
In addition, the Northeast Field Army also began its first exploratory attack on the Tsarist Russian army in the Northeast, and organized a special artillery siege force to gain several key advantages for the Far East in winning the Northeast War.
At the same time, the then Tsar Nicholas III also instructed the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army in the Far East to immediately launch an offensive in the Far East, and also tasked him with taking responsibility for the fall of Port Arthur.
But in the end, Tsarist Russia lost Port Arthur, lost the Northeast, lost Outer Mongolia and Outer Northeast, and completely lost the Trans-Siberian Railway. This was the heaviest blow to the Tsarist Empire. It not only caused Tsarist Russia to lose political power in the Far East
,military
prestige, and the loss of political and military prestige in the Near East, Central Asia and Europe. Undoubtedly, it also played an indelible role in the switch of Britain and the United States to the Far East camp. The Tsarist Russian Empire was also regarded as a weak empire and was directly affected by his
The allies were abandoned.
In the first Northeastern War, the tsarist government continued to issue new orders in an attempt to win the war under tremendous pressure. However, in the end, the top commander of Tsarist Russia at the time reluctantly sent 11 integrated armies south to support the battles in various parts of the Northeast.
Lushun had been completely lost, but in the Fangdian area they encountered the 2nd Army of the Far East Northeast Field Army. The two Tsarist Russian armies were defeated by the Far East and finally suffered a complete defeat and fled in embarrassment.
From then on, the Northeastern Army of Tsarist Russia was completely cut off from the Lushun area, and the Far Eastern Army launched a large-scale attack on Changchun. In order to ensure that Changchun was captured within three days, the Northeast Field Army mobilized almost all its artillery. The Tsarist Russian authorities also understood the importance of Changchun, so they massively increased their troops.
, in the end, after a bloody battle that lasted for 13 days, the Russian army gathered in the Changchun area was completely wiped out, but the Northeast Field Army also paid the price of more than 60,000 casualties.
After that, the 44th, 45th, 46th, and 47th armies of the Tsarist Russian Army, which originally defended the periphery of the Heilongjiang region, with a strength of about 160,000, retreated steadily in the face of the 2,670 artillery pieces assembled in the Far East. The liberation of the Northeast region was speeding up by leaps and bounds.
, until the Tsarist Russian Army gave up the last natural barrier in the Heilongjiang area, Montenegro, but was defeated like a mountain. The Tsarist Russian Army only held on for less than 7 days. Even Peng De and Li Ningyu did not expect that Tsarist Russia would attack so quickly.
defeat.
It was during the Northeast War that Li Ningyu got new inspiration, that is, to use a small number of troops and a large artillery group to defend the open border. Therefore, under Li Ningyu's order, the Far East would step up
With the development and production of large-caliber artillery, in less than six months, the Far East has developed a variety of defensive and long-range attack artillery.
In less than 7 months since the outbreak of the entire Northeast War, the Northeast Field Army swept through the Northeast with sufficient logistical support. Within half a year, it wiped out 250,000 Russian troops in the Northeast and successfully marched into the Heilongjiang region.
, and the Tsarist Russian Army, which retreated to Outer Northeast and Outer Mongolia, also began to strengthen the defense of the fortresses in the two places. However, even if it was strengthened compared with before, the number of defenders increased to 1.46 million, including 1,646 artillery pieces and 8,862 heavy machine guns.
However, the logistical material reserves are insufficient and cannot cope with long-term siege operations, especially artillery shells and bullets. The average Tsarist Russian Army has less than 40 rounds per artillery. Even if the defenses in the Outer Northeast and Outer Mongolia are strong, they are still camouflaging in the end.
It was not strict, the command was incompetent, and it was defeated again and again.
However, the Far East also faced two problems at that time, that is, whether to divide its forces to attack the Outer Northeast or Outer Mongolia. According to Peng De's idea, it was to divide its forces. However, it was ultimately rejected by Li Ningyu. Because Li Ningyu was determined to win the Outer Northeast, he also gave it to Tsarist Russia.
A time to breathe.
However, the Tsarist Russian general Vanevado, who was in charge of the defense of Outer Mongolia at that time, was actually a frequently defeated general in the Northeast War. Since his fall in Changchun, he advocated abandoning all important areas such as peripheral fortifications in the Northeast and retreating directly into the Outer Northeast and Outer Northeast.
In the Mongolian fortress, I hope to wait for reinforcements from the country.
Even the commander-in-chief of Tsarist Russia began to feel that this person was not suitable to continue to serve as a senior commander. However, until the end of the war, the Far East Army surrounded the Outer Mongolia fortress. The number of troops commanded by Vanevado was still as high as 260,000, with more than 390 artillery pieces.
Gate, 872 light and heavy machine guns, but Vanevado chose to surrender. This allowed the Far East to not only capture Outer Mongolia without losing a single soldier, but also obtain the Trans-Siberian Railway.
