Chapter 458: Kuropatkin

Chen Hao's goal was achieved. The Russo-Japanese War did not end as quickly as in history, but he was not happy at all. The Japanese did nothing, and all the land forces retreated to the Korean Peninsula. The Russians, due to several battles in the Northeast,

The war suffered heavy losses, and they are still sending troops to the Far East in a steady stream, and are unable to launch an attack on the Korean Peninsula. This has resulted in basically no consumption for the two countries.

Chen Hao did not want to see this situation. During the Russo-Japanese War, Northeast China was the battlefield for land confrontation between the two sides. The local people suffered great disasters and suffered unprecedented catastrophes in life and property. Factories in Lushun were bombed.

Houses were blown up, and even temples were not spared. Cattle were snatched away, food was robbed, and hundreds of thousands of refugees were displaced.

Both Japan and Russia forced Chinese people to carry ammunition and perform labor services for them. Many people died unjustly under the gunfire of the invaders of the two countries. There were also batches of Chinese civilians who were treated as "spies" and killed by both Japan and Russia. This war

The war was not only a brutal violation of China's territory and sovereignty, but also caused the people of Northeast China to suffer huge losses and casualties during the war.

Chen Hao changed the outcome of the Tsushima naval battle, causing Japan and Russia to fall into a stalemate. The negative impact was to intensify the suffering of Chinese NPCs. What made him depressed was that Japan and Russia were constantly gathering strength. After several months of small-scale battles,

None of them happened. Instead, Russia continued to enslave the Chinese people. This situation deviated from Chen Hao's original intention.

After Cam Ranh Bay Naval Academy and large shipyards were on the right track, Chen Hao handed over naval training matters to Chen Shaokuan, but he himself was not in a hurry to leave Cam Ranh Bay. He found Yang Du and expressed his concerns to Yang Du

After saying it again, Yang Du smiled and said after reading the intelligence about Japan and Russia sent by Chen Hao to inquire: "Your Excellency, you really love the people as your own children. It is not difficult to solve this matter, but you must be prepared for casualties."

Chen Hao nodded and said: "If we can let Japan and Russia fight, we will suffer a lot of military casualties every day, and my troops will be able to accept some casualties. Senior Brother Xizi, let me know if you have any good ideas. Currently, we have a

A foreign force of 20,000 people is also capable of withstanding casualties."

Yang Du laughed and said: "Based on the collected intelligence, the Russian army in the Northeast has reached 100,000 people, and it is fully capable of fighting the Japanese who retreated to the Korean Peninsula. However, the Russians have lost consecutive battles with the Japanese.

.They have been discouraged by Japan, so they have been slow to take action."

"Your Excellency can take the initiative to contact the Russian commander and express his willingness to lead troops to land on the Korean Peninsula from the sea and cooperate with the Russian army to invade North Korea. As long as the Russian commander is not a fool, he will definitely not miss such a fighter opportunity. In this way, your Excellency can benefit from the Russians

, it will allow the Russian army and the Japanese army to fight to the death again, and it will also move the battlefield from the northeast of our country to the Korean Peninsula."

Chen Hao was very lucky to have recruited Yang Du as the mastermind, even though he had future memories. But after the game plot was changed, his memory couldn't help. He himself couldn't think of such a good way to kill three birds with one stone.

The navy of Cam Ranh Bay has been repaired for several months, and now players can engage in a battle. The Japanese navy suffered a great loss after their failure in the Battle of Tsushima. Before the new ships were put into service, they did not have the strength to compete with the navy of Cam Ranh Bay, so the landing operation was carried out in

There will be no trouble at sea.

Chen Hao decided to lead the troops to attack. The landing troops were mainly players, with the 10,000 player troops in Cam Ranh Bay as the main force. Although he was afraid of casualties in the NPC troops, he also brought an additional 3,000 NPC troops. These 3,000 troops have been

As Marines are being trained, their capabilities will be greatly improved if the landing operations on the Korean Peninsula are successful.

After Chen Hao made up his mind, he left the Qi Jiguang and other old-fashioned armored cruisers to guard Cam Ranh Bay, and he personally led the fleet to the Northeast. After the Japanese Navy's defeat in the Battle of Tsushima, the entire army retreated to the Korean Peninsula and captured Port Arthur with so much hard work.

They were also defeated by the Russians at all costs.

On the surface, Yingkou Port belonged to the Qing court, but in fact it was controlled by the Russians. Only when they lost Lushun did the Russians realize the importance of the port. So they tried to get involved in Yingkou. The Jinlan Bay cruiser formation led by Liu Mazi happened to be anchored in Yingkou. Chen Hao

The reason for leading the fleet north was to block the Japanese maritime traffic with all their strength. Of course, the Russians would not refuse such a good thing, so the Cam Ranh Bay fleet successfully converged at Yingkou Port.

Yingkou was once Chen Hao's base camp. He was quite emotional when he returned to his hometown. After he left, Yingkou Pier had lost its original prosperity. After the fleet anchored in Yingkou, he did not stay. Instead, he quietly changed to a destroyer and rushed overnight.

Go to Port Arthur to meet the Russian commander Kuropatkin.

Alexey Nikolayevich Kuropatkin, a Russian imperialist and commander-in-chief of the Russian Far Eastern Army during the Russo-Japanese War.

Kuropatkin's indecision was considered one of the main reasons for Russia's successive defeats. After he was appointed commander of the Far East Army, faced with a sudden attack by the Japanese army commanded by Da Shanyan, there were only more than 100,000 scattered Russian troops in Manchuria unable to cope with it.

, he planned to retreat for a decisive battle and wait for domestic reinforcements to arrive before launching a counterattack. However, the Russian Navy, led by the emperor's uncle, the Governor of the Far East, Yevgeny Ivanovich Alexeyev, wanted to keep the Lushun Naval Base.

He was also forced to conduct offensive operations, which caused him to show erratic characteristics in combat command.

In the Battle of Liaoyang, he commanded 5 armies of 160,000 Japanese troops and 3 armies of 120,000 Japanese troops. Due to the capacity problem of the Trans-Siberian Railway, he knew that with every day of delay, he would receive more reinforcements and victory would be more certain.

Therefore, he was very reluctant to engage in offensive operations. After the initial engagement in Manchuria, he withdrew to Liaoyang and subsequently launched several unsuccessful offensives from well-organized defensive positions. On August 25, he believed that he had been defeated by Kuroki Shizhen's third

The first army was defeated, so he led his army to withdraw from Liaoyang and retreat to Shahe. The failure of this battle caused the Russian stocks in the financial market to plummet, and it became difficult to raise funds for the war. Everyone in the country expressed dissatisfaction with him from top to bottom.

From October 5th to 15th, under the pressure of public opinion, he commanded eight corps with 220,000 troops to launch another offensive and achieved some success on the left wing. However, the Japanese Army Okubao Kon's Second Army launched a fierce counterattack in the center, forcing him to

On October 17, he continued to retreat. On January 26, 1905, he already had 12 corps with 350,000 men. In order to relieve the siege of Lushun, on a snowy day, he launched an attack on the Japanese left wing Akiyama Haogu detachment of Shendan Fort.

Attacked and almost won, but failed due to lack of courage to continue the attack.

Kuropatkin lost consecutive battles in the Northeast. If it were not for the naval victory, the Russo-Japanese War might have ended, and he would have been dismissed long ago. Even if the Japanese retreated to North Korea, domestic criticism of him has not stopped. So he eagerly hopes to win a battle to wash away his shame.
