The Russo-Japanese War was an imperialist war fought between Japan and Russia on the land of Northeast China in order to occupy Northeast China and North Korea. Historically, the Russo-Japanese War contributed to Japan's military superiority in Northeast Asia and its gains in North Korea and China.
The right to garrison troops in the Northeast hindered Russia's expansion in the Far East.
No matter which side wins the Russo-Japanese War, it will not do any good to the Qing government. After replacing the Russian garrison in the Northeast, the Japanese extended their claws into the land of China. It was from the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War that the Japanese became a serious problem for the Chinese people.
During the Anti-Japanese War, it occupied most of China.
Japan and Russia are two tigers competing for food. As a Chinese, Chen Hao certainly hopes that they will fight to the death. It is best to keep fighting. How to make the Japan-Russia war last longer? Is it possible to change the original plot of the Japan-Russia war? Battleships in Yingkou
The stop made Chen Hao vaguely grasp something, and he once again had the idea of changing the plot mission.
Historically, during the Russo-Japanese War, there were battles such as the Liaodong Landing Battle, the Battle for Brigade University, the Liaoyang Battle, the Shahe Offensive and Defensive Battle, the Fengtian Battle, and the Battle of Tsushima. The Russian army rarely achieved victory in either land or naval battles. If you want to change
The only way to make the Russo-Japanese War last longer is to help Russia and help the Russians in key battles.
The key battles between Japan and Russia include the Battle of Brigade, the Battle of Fengtian and the Battle of Tsushima. To prevent the Russians from surrendering so early, it is possible to change any of these three battles.
The first is the battle for Luda. As long as Luda is in the hands of the Russians, the Russian fleet can threaten the sea lines of communication of the Japanese army landing in the Northeast at any time. Without occupying Luda, the Japanese army will not be able to conduct large-scale ground operations in the Northeast. For this reason
Historically, the Japanese army first tried to blockade the Russian fleet at Luda. After the failure, they actively prepared for a second attack, and finally captured the strong fortress of Luda at the cost of a loss of 60,000 people.
Next was the Battle of Fengtian, with the fall of Luda and the annihilation of the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet, allowing Japan to gain complete control of the sea before the arrival of the Russian European Fleet. Japan tried its best to take advantage of this favorable situation and wanted to encircle and annihilate the Northeast Russian army and win in the Fengtian area.
The war ended. The Japanese Army Headquarters quickly transferred the 3rd Army to Fengtian, and at the same time the newly formed 5th Army also moved towards Fengtian. As of mid-February 1905, the Japanese Army in the Fengtian area had assembled on a front of more than 100 kilometers.
The five armies have 270,000 men, 1,082 cannons, and 200 machine guns.
The Battle of Fengtian was the last and largest battle of the Russo-Japanese War. The Russian army lost nearly 120,000 people, and the Japanese army lost about 70,000 people. After the battle, the Tsarist government was still unwilling to accept defeat and continued to increase its troops to the Far East. At the same time, it sent
Hoping to rely on the Pacific 2nd Squadron, which was transferred eastward from European waters, the two sides later engaged in the Great Battle of Tsushima.
In the Great Battle of Tsushima, the Russian fleet, which had traveled all the way from Europe to the Far East to assist in the war, was completely wiped out, and the Russo-Japanese War was over.
Of the three battles that determined the direction of the Russo-Japanese War, the Battle of Luda and the Battle of Fengtian were both land battles, with both sides suffering heavy losses. To change the direction of these two battles, a large number of troops would need to be invested, and heavy losses would also be suffered. Although Chen
After Hao Lianzui Shengmeng's death, he may call on a large number of players to participate, but he is not willing to fight against the Japanese for Russia, so he has never had the idea of participating in the Russo-Japanese War before.
If Chen Hao's plan to seize warships can be realized perfectly, with one battleship, seven cruisers, and ten destroyers, he will have the ability to change the outcome of the Battle of Tsushima. There are many reasons for the failure of the Russian Navy in the Battle of Tsushima, but
No matter what the reason was, another fleet was suddenly added to the battle, and it was impossible for the Japanese to achieve a complete victory like in history.
In the early days of the Russo-Japanese War, the Tsarist government decided to mobilize ships from the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet to form the "Second Pacific Squadron" and sail to the Far East for reinforcements. This mixed fleet had 38 main warships of various types and about 20 auxiliary ships.
, organized into two brigades, under the unified command of Vice Admiral Rozdestvinsky.
This hastily put together fleet, some ships were put to sea before they were fully built, and were installed as they sailed. The technical and tactical levels of the officers and soldiers were low, and some even lacked basic training. Communication and communication relied on German-made radios. German technicians were like a radio station as soon as they were on the radio.
Waste. There is deep conflict between officers and soldiers, and morale is low. Especially the sailors of the Black Sea Fleet who have been influenced by revolutionary ideas are very dissatisfied.
The 2nd Pacific Squadron was originally scheduled to depart in mid-July 1904, but due to the failure to keep up with the preparations, the departure was postponed to mid-October. The sailing route was scheduled to start from the Baltic Sea via the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa to Vladivostok, a total distance of 30,000 kilometers, with a supply base in the middle.
Neither.
According to international law, belligerent [***] ships are not allowed to berth in the ports of neutral countries. This regulation has caused great difficulties for the Russian fleet. When the fleet set off, due to the series of victories of the Japanese army, serious anti-Japanese disease was prevalent among the Russian army.
It’s almost to the point where everything is under control.
There was a rumor in the Russian fleet that Japan's secret fleet had arrived in the Nordic waters. In this atmosphere, the officers and soldiers were nervous. In the early days of the fleet's voyage, many big jokes were made that were rarely seen in naval history. When they saw foreign ships, they thought they were Japanese fleets and immediately went blind.
Even Russian ships far away from each other misunderstood and fired at each other.
In October, the Russian fleet sank and damaged a British fishing boat in the North Sea, causing an international turmoil. The British government, which was allied with Japan, used this to pressure neutral countries not to provide convenience to the Russian fleet. In order to solve the fuel problem, the Russian fleet had to add coal at sea. If there was a chance
As much as possible was installed, so that coal was accumulated in all open spaces such as the deck, engine room, shower room, and officer's bedroom. This not only slowed down the speed, but also affected work and hygiene. The soldiers were in great pain when passing through the equatorial waters, and non-combat attrition was serious.
On April 8, 1905, Destvinsky led the fleet to Singapore. The Admiralty ordered him to go to Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, where he would wait for the 3rd Pacific Squadron led by Nebogatov to join, and then go north to defeat the Japanese.
The Japanese fleet arrived in Vladivostok.
The entry of the Russian Destvinsky fleet into Cam Ranh Bay aroused strong protests from the Japanese government, and the French naval authorities were forced to order the Russian ships to leave the country. On May 9, 1905, the 2nd and 3rd Pacific Squadrons could only meet at sea.
, the combined fleet was commanded by Roger Destvinsky as commander, and Fuksam as deputy commander.
During the eastward transfer of the Russian fleet, the Japanese Togo fleet was fully prepared for the battle. It first carried out repairs and maintenance on the ships and gave the sailors a vacation to recuperate. Starting in February, all navy personnel returned to the fleet and conducted intense training exercises.
Togo Heihachiro judged that the Russian fleet was most likely to pass through the Korean Strait and take the shortest route to Vladivostok, so the main force of the Japanese fleet assembled near the Tsushima Strait and along the coast of Japan to wait. At the same time, he laid mines and organized surveillance on some sea channels that the Russian fleet might pass through, forming a
A huge forecast network with a depth of more than 225 kilometers.
After a 220-day voyage, the Russian fleet was very exhausted. At the same time, it did not pay attention to reconnaissance, knew nothing about the enemy's situation, and had no combat plan. The captains only knew how to concentrate their firepower on the enemy's flagship and escape towards Vladivostok. The failure was understandable.
.
It is not surprising that Chen Hao had the idea to change the course of the Japanese-Russian war. This war was a battle for the Japanese to block the fate of the country, so the Japanese could not surrender easily. Even if he changed the outcome of the Tsushima Naval War, most of the final victory would be
Yes, but it will take more time and cost more.
Chen Hao has the ability to change the Battle of Tsushima. First of all, if his plan succeeds, Japan will lose one battleship and two cruisers, and Togo Heihachiro, who commanded the Battle of Tsushima, may also be finished. Secondly, Chen Hao will seize the warships and go to Nanyang to occupy them.
With an excellent military port, he can take the initiative to provide mid-way supplies to the Russian fleet, thus enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Russian fleet.
The Russian fleet exceeds the Japanese in terms of number. If it is rested and maintained in Nanyang, even if Chen Hao does not send warships to join the battle, the Russian fleet will not necessarily lose. The Russians have been wandering at sea for a long time, and their commander Roger Jestwins
As long as Ji is not a fool, he will definitely be grateful for Chen Hao's help.
If the outcome of the Battle of Tsushima changes, so that Japan wins the land battle and the Russians win the naval battle, this war will definitely last longer. This is an opportunity to change the Russo-Japanese War. If Chen Hao really changed this history
The plot is of far greater significance than his great victory in the Northeast during the Gengzi Incident.
Chen Hao also has another advantage in helping the Russian fleet, that is, he will have a naval base in Nanyang. Nanyang has many excellent deep-water ports, but they have not been developed in this era. Chen Hao still needs experts to build his own naval base.
and drawings.
Since France was an ally of Tsarist Russia during the Russo-Japanese War, but France did not have much power in the Far East, it ordered Tsarist Russia's Second Pacific Fleet to rest and replenish coal in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam. Hundreds of warships from the Tsarist Russian fleet gathered in Cam Ranh Bay and were the first to attack Cam Ranh.
The bay was used as a large military port, but due to British protests the Russians were unable to rest in Cam Ranh Bay and had to rendezvous at sea.
France was weak in the Far East and did not build a naval base in Cam Ranh Bay until 1935. Therefore, Cam Ranh Bay today is of little value in the eyes of the French. In order to allow the Russian fleet to be supplied in Nanyang, Chen Hao offered to help the Russians, saying
You may be able to obtain the right to use Cam Ranh Bay.
Chen Hao will not come forward in person. He will send his Russians to pretend to be pirates to negotiate with the French authorities in Vietnam, so that the French will falsely claim that Cam Ranh Bay is occupied by pirates. France is weak in the Far East and is willing to let Russia go after Cam Ranh Bay is occupied by pirates.
The British couldn't find any reason to get angry even if they didn't have enough supplies.
Since it was the Russians who came forward at the beginning, France would only think that the Russian pirates wanted to help the motherland's fleet and would not be defensive. After temporarily taking Cam Ranh Bay into his hands, Chen Hao would let the Russians come forward in the future, even if the French found out
After all, even with a fleet in hand, he won’t be afraid of France’s Far East Navy. (To be continued.
