After the attack began, the two regiments launched a fierce attack on the Russian army on a five-kilometer front. Now there is only one Russian infantry division with more than 10,000 troops guarding Shuangchengzi.
The defense lines inside and outside the Shuangcheng City are very sparse, not to mention that after more than an hour of bombing by the Chinese team, the Russian army has suffered heavy losses, and many of the defense lines have appeared very large.
Vulnerability.
"Dadada!" In the midst of the bullets, the Chinese soldiers hugged and quickly charged towards the Russian positions. A row of bullets came, and the two soldiers who rushed in the front fell to the ground. Heavy machine guns
Bullets can easily kill soldiers.
"Machine gun cover!" The low-level officer who followed the troops to charge loudly ordered. Two light machine guns were set up and fired suppression of the Russian army. The mortars that followed were also set up and aimed at the Russian army.
The firepower point is a blast.
The battle was very fierce, and the Russian army guarding Shuangchengzi had great determination to fight. Even though they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength and weapons, they took advantage of their familiarity with Shuangchengzi to engage in fierce development with the Chinese team.
Fight.
"Grenade!"
More than ten grenades were thrown into the Russian trenches and killed more than a dozen Russian troops who were resisting inside. The attacking Chinese soldiers immediately jumped up and rushed out of the last thirty meters in an instant.
Invaded the trenches.
"Da da da da!" The light machine gun fired wildly, and a magazine of twenty bullets were shot, and it was wiped out in a few seconds. The surviving Russian troops in the trenches were all knocked into honeycombs.
As the Russian army's peripheral positions were broken through, more and more Chinese teams attacked the Russian troops and launched attacks on the Russian troops guarding these positions. Under the fierce attack of the Chinese team, the Russian troops
Heavy casualties. By twelve o'clock noon, all the outer positions of Shuangchengzi had fallen into the hands of the Zhongzhao team. The remaining Russian troops retreated into Shuangchengzi city and were preparing to continue to fight against the Zhongzhao team.
.
Although the battle was very smooth, everyone knows that the real battle really began. At 12:30, the Zhong** team, which had simply eaten a few bites of dry food, launched a fierce attack again and killed the
After entering the Shuangchengzi City, the cruel street battle broke out immediately.
Every house, street and even ruins that have not yet collapsed have become the object of competition between China and Russia. The Chinese team adopts the method of combining machine guns, grenades and rifles, and gradually moves to the twin city city in units of squads.
Promote and destroy the Russian army in the city bit by bit. Once you encounter the strong firepower point of the Russian army, you will immediately bombard it with a mortar. When the mortar cannot destroy the opponent's firepower point, you will take a detour. At the same time, the situation here will be
Report to the company. The company contacted Houfu's artillery with a wireless telegram to carry out devastating artillery on this area and completely destroy the resisting Russian army. This tactic is very useful. Although the speed of advancement is not very fast,
But it minimized the casualties of soldiers.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese team had already occupied the west city of Shuangchengzi and launched an attack on the east city. At this time, the Russian army continued to resist, only three or four thousand people were left. The Russian army was defeated,
In front of you.
"General, Xicheng has been occupied by the Chinese. I have only less than 4,000 people left under my command. We can't hold on anymore. Please retreat immediately!" The commander of the 118th Division rushed into Major General Agata's command center.
, said loudly. In just two hours, his troops suffered heavy losses. If he continued to persevere, he would probably not wait until the sunset. His troops would be completely wiped out.
"Shuangchengzi is over, the entire Far East is over! You can lead the troops to break through! I hope God bless you!" Major General Agata said with a sad face, completely gone without the spirit of guaranteeing that he could resist the Zhongzhao team in Shuangchengzi at that time.
.
"General, aren't you going with us?" asked the commander of the 118th Division.
"No. Shuangchengzi is lost, someone needs to be responsible!" Major General Agata shook his head.
The commander of the 118th Division found that he could not persuade Major General Agata, so he had to leave by himself.
At 3:30 pm, the remaining forces of the Russian 118th Division broke through from the east of Shuangchengzi. With his familiarity with this area, he paid a certain price and broke out of the encirclement and fled south. At the same time, the Russian army
Major General Agata, the supreme commander of the Shuangchengzi, committed suicide by swallowing a gun at the command center.
At 4:30 pm, the 56th and 57th Divisions of the Second Chinese Army Group, ambushed south of Shuangchengzi, intercepted the remnants of the Russian 118th Division, which was inseparable. After less than half an hour
During the battle, the commander of the 118th Division of the Russian Army surrendered. The entire Shuangchengzi battle ended. In this battle, the Second Army of the Chinese Army wiped out more than 30,000 Russian troops and lost more than 3,000 to nearly 4,000. The battle of the regular Russian army
Power is much stronger than those newly formed armies.
"Chief of Staff, the chief of staff and His Majesty will report! Finally, we have taken the Shuangchengzi. Next, it is time for the Russian army to launch an attack in the Far East. "Major General Xie Dingkun, commander of the Second Army, said.
.
"Yes, Commander!" Chief of Staff Zhang Shusen replied.
"Order the troops to speed up the time to rest and attack Vladivostok tomorrow!" Major General Xie Dingkun ordered. Shuangchengzi is hundreds of kilometers away from Vladivostok. The Second Army will march quickly and it will take three days to arrive.
The conquered Shuangchengzi left the Russian army with only a strategic location like Vladivostok in the Far East. If Vladivostok is lost again, the Russian army would have no place to gain a foothold in the Far East.
Xiong Wu, the chief of staff who commanded the battle in Jilin, ordered the Second Army to end the battle in Vladivostok before mid-April. During this period, the Navy will cooperate with the attack on Vladivostok. Vladivostok is the administrative and military center of the Russian Far East.
In addition to stationing a large number of troops, this is also the base of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet. Since the 17th century, Russia has been expanding continuously in order to find an outlet in the Pacific region. Although Vladivostok has freezing time in winter
, but for the Russian army, it is already an indispensable and important port. If Vladivostok is occupied by China, Russia will no longer have any influence in the Pacific region.
After Tsar Nicholas II learned that Shuangchengzi had lost, he even ordered the Far East Governor Alexeyev to defend Vladivostok and persist until the Russian army defeated the Zhong** team in East and West Siberia. Vladivostok has a perfect defense.
Fortifications and sufficient food and ammunition were stored. There is also a small arsenal in the city, which is enough to produce rifle bullets and can supply ammunition to the troops. Although Shuangchengzi was lost, the Russian army in Vladivostok still had
I have great confidence to defend Vladivostok.
Vladivostok belonged to Chinese territory before 1860. The traditional Chinese name is "Vladivostok", which is called "Vladivostok" by the locals (meaning harbor). It was named after the abundant production of sea cucumbers. Historically, Vladivostok Shanghai was once from the Tang Dynasty and Liaoning.
, Jin has gradually seen people's activities here. It was called Yongming City during the Yuan Dynasty. During the Bohai Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Rubin Mansion. The Poseid Bay near Vladivostok was a foreign trade port in the northeastern border area of the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty strengthened it.
The connection with the tribes of the East China Sea opened up the southeastern post road from Xixiangzhou to Binhai Yongming City. After the unequal Sino-Russia Treaty of Aihui in 1858 (the eighth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty), Tsarist Russia couldn't wait to extend the invading claws toward the
Chinese territory east of the Ussuri River. In June 1860 (May 10th year of Xianfeng, Qing Dynasty), the Russian army of Tsarist Russia brazenly occupied Vladivostok, an important port in China, and renamed Vladivostok to "Vladivostok", meaning "
Control the East" as a base for further expansion in the Far East. In November of the same year, after the unequal Sino-Russia Treaty, China lost Jilin territory about 400,000 square kilometers east of the Ussuri River to the sea, and Vladivostok was also divided
Entering the Russian territory.
Vladivostok, near the Japanese Sea waters are located in the front of the Tsuma warm current and the front of the Liman cold current in the west. The winter ice period is 100 to 110 days (from early December to mid-to-late March of the following year), and can be navigated with an icebreaker. Since the Russian occupation
Since Vladivostok, it has become Russia's most important port in the Pacific region. Moreover, with the soon-to-be-open Siberian Railway, its status will become increasingly important. If Vladivostok is lost, Russia's efforts over the past few hundred years have been
It will be in vain. Therefore, Tsar Nicholas II strictly ordered the defenders of Vladivostok to ensure that Vladivostok is controlled by Russia even if they fight one soldier.
Vladivostok, in the Far East Governor General, the current Far East Governor Alexeyev is summoning Russian generals from Vladivostok to discuss the defense of Vladivostok. Rear Admiral Vizoft, commander of the Navy's Pacific Fleet, also participated in this meeting. However,
The Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet is relatively weak, and now it can only rely on the protection of the shore defense fortress and is trapped in the Bay of Pochet.
The Russian Pacific Fleet includes six battleships, four cruisers, 11 destroyers, one medical ship, and several supply ships. It seems that there are many warships, but all of these warships are from more than ten or twenty years ago.
Old goods. Especially the six battleships, basically only have a displacement of 7,000 tonnes, and the maximum speed is only fifteen knots. In Britain and France, such warships are just called armored cruisers. Against China
In the case of the Navy, the Russian Pacific Fleet will never have the possibility of victory.
"Everyone, His Majesty the Tsar commanded the defenders of Vladivostok, be sure to persevere until the day our army wins the battlefield in East and West Siberia, and then reinforcements will arrive. If they fail, including me,
, they will be punished the most severely!" said Aleksayev, the Governor of the Far East.
