"Yes, you don't need to ask me about the battlefields west of Xinjiang in the future. Your Joint Chiefs of Staff will decide the battle on your own. As long as the logistics supply can support it, you can fight as far as the Volga River." Emperor Yang said, he was always impressed by the enterprising spirit of the frontline generals.
He is willing to encourage. As for whether it will affect the rhythm of his war, there is no need to consider this. Russia is powerful. Even if the Central Asian Front is allowed to open its offensive, it will be good if they can cross the Ural River in half a year.
"Your Majesty, should the next general attack on Vladivostok begin? Otherwise, once the attack on Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other places is launched, the navy will inevitably mobilize a large number of capital ships, plus the protection of the Indian Ocean routes, in addition to
If we send more fleets to the Caribbean, we will have fewer warships for Vladivostok." Li Yuncong asked.
Duan Qirui's siege of Vladivostok has lasted for several months. At present, the outer perimeter of the first fortress in the Far East has been completely cleared, leaving only the two core fortress groups of Vladivostok and Russia Island. If he wants to attack these two places,
It would definitely not work without the cooperation of the maritime fleet. Although the water tank cannon is powerful, its range is a bit short. Even if the cannon has been set up outside Vladivostok, it can only pose a threat to a small part of the city due to the special terrain there.
As for the Russian fortress on Russia Island, they can't reach it at all, and the 155 heavy cannon that can be reached is not powerful enough. The same is true for bombers. The Thunder bomber's 250 kilogram-class aerial bombs can deal with those designed to resist the main guns of battleships.
The Fortress is also unable to cope with the situation, unless a heavier one is used. However, the Thunder, which is based on the Martin B10, can only carry more than one ton of bombs at most. It is a bit difficult to equip a single 500-kilogram aerial bomb, and even the pylon is not enough.
It is unbearable and must be modified, but the modification will affect the bomb load. When Emperor Yang's new heavy bombers are about to enter service, it is sheer waste to modify them.
So at present, the most effective weapon is the 380 main gun of the Huaxia class battleship. It is a piece of cake to deal with these fortresses with 800 kilograms of heavy ammunition. In addition, the 280 main gun used by the Kunlun class battleship uses the 380 main gun.
The direct fire effect of a hundred kilogram piercing explosive bomb is no problem, so if you want to successfully conquer Vladivostok, the only remaining Allied stronghold in the entire Far East, the best way is for both the navy and the army to go into battle at the same time.
"Okay, in addition, send a surrender letter to Alexeyev first, telling him that if he surrenders now, I can still make him an earl of China, and he and his generals will receive my reward." Yang Feng thought for a while and said, fight.
It costs money, so if there is a cheaper way, of course you can’t miss it.
After receiving Yang Feng's letter of persuasion to surrender, there was no problem with Alexeyev, although theoretically he was also a descendant of the Romanov family. However, illegitimate children would not be recognized, so it was impossible for him to be loyal to the Romanov family.
, even though Nicholas had just awarded him the rank of marshal in recognition of his meritorious service in defending Vladivostok, he was still ready to surrender at all times.
But the problem now is that some of his men are unwilling to surrender.
"Colonel Kolchak, what are you trying to do? Do you know that this is a crime and that your behavior is already a rebellion?" he shouted to a young officer in front of him in a stern voice.
"I'm sorry. Your Excellency, Marshal, as a soldier we should first be loyal to our country and our duties. Since you and all of you are no longer prepared to perform your duties, please rest here!"
Colonel Kolchak saluted somewhat contemptuously and then said to the second lieutenant next to him: "Look at this conference room, no one is allowed to enter or leave. If the marshal and generals need to rest, they can send their quilts over.
Food and drinks are delivered to the conference room on time!”
When Alexeyev gathered the main generals for a meeting to confirm the surrender, the news that a colonel led the soldiers who were unwilling to surrender launched a mutiny and detained all Russian generals, including Alexeyev, was quickly reported to the Swedish army in Vladivostok
The merchant sent it to Emperor Yang via telegram.
"Kolchak, I didn't expect that there was such a figure among the Russians." Emperor Yang said with some emotion.
In fact, this was mainly driven by his repatriation policy. The miserable lives of the Russians in the Far East after they were sent back to Europe had long been known to the Russians in Vladivostok, so Kolchak's actions were simply a response to all the Russian troops.
The soldiers would rather stay in Vladivostok and fight the Chinese than surrender and be sent back to Russia to live a life of hunger and cold. And as the war became stalemate, Nicholas had begun to recruit a large number of repatriated Russians and send them to the front line.
, which means that they will still have to go to the battlefield even if they go back. Since it is not the same as staying in Vladivostok like this, at least there is a strong fortress here and endless food.
"Since you won't surrender, we have no choice but to ask them to destroy them. Order Duan Qirui and Cheng Biguang to start fighting!" Emperor Yang was only impressed by Kolchak's bravery, and then casually gave the order to attack.
.
Following the order of His Majesty the Emperor, the super battleships Huaxia and Yanhuang, which had returned to Lushun Naval Port, were dispatched again. Together with the remaining four battleships and six battlecruisers of the Beiyang Fleet, the huge fleet looked up to the gods in the eyes of the Japanese fishermen.
, sailed mightily through the Tsushima Strait and entered the Sea of Japan, riding the wind and waves among the remaining ice floes until reaching the sea outside Vladivostok.
After Alexeev was placed under house arrest, the command of Vladivostok has been completely taken over by Kolchak, because all junior officers and soldiers, even the armed Russian civilians, support him, plus they already hate him
The money-grubbing and weak Governor-General, led by the highly respected Colonel Kolchak, has made Vladivostok more stable and lively than before. However, when the Chinese fleet appeared, the Russians still couldn't help but feel frightened.
Even through the telescope, the two super battleships on the sea still gave them a huge impact. They all know this. With the Kunlun class battleships accompanying them as a reference, the terrifying power of these two battleships can be seen at a glance.
at.
"With a displacement of not less than 35,000 tons and eight 380 main guns, His Majesty the Emperor in Beijing has given the world a surprise. Human technology has once again reached a new peak!" Gore stood on the Russian Island lighthouse.
Colonel Chak sighed and said, of course, the surprise of human technological development is a complete disaster for them.
"Why did they replace them with boilers? Are these two battleships using steam power?" A cruiser captain next to him said in disbelief as he looked at the towering chimneys on the battleships in the distance.
Although Vladivostok still had four armored cruisers, considering the strength comparison between the two sides, going to war was no different from committing suicide, so Kolchak simply scuttled them on the shore to supplement the lack of shore defense firepower. However, those light cruisers and
Destroyers, torpedo boats and the like are still retained for use in sneak attacks at sea.
"It's very simple. Diesel engines can no longer provide more powerful power, so His Majesty the Emperor now uses steam turbines. He has spent more than ten years going all out to promote his diesel engines to the world, using various means to tell the world
It is impossible for the world's steam turbines to meet greater power requirements and suppresses all research and development of steam turbines. However, he himself is manufacturing more and more powerful steam turbines. This layout has been going on for more than ten years. Now that he has succeeded, there is no need to hide it anymore.
Yes." Kolchak said with a wry smile.
"Fortunately, we have enough mines outside!" the captain said with a shrug. As an expert in mine warfare, Kolchak would certainly not forget this good thing. The entire Peter the Great Bay has been blocked by mines.
Up, with Russky Island as the center and extending 30 kilometers outward, a dense mine belt is like a city wall, blocking maritime attacks from the range of the battleship's main gun, and any minesweeper that enters the minefield to clear mines will become Russky Island.
Targets for those long-range cannons.
However, just as the captain finished speaking, he saw the two huge ships on the sea with their sides spread out, and the muzzle fire of their sixteen main guns shining brightly.
"How is this possible?" he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Of course, nothing is impossible. The Huaxia-class battleship's main gun has a range of more than thirty-six kilometers, which is perfect for launching attacks outside mine areas. Sixteen 800-kilogram shells roared from the sky at a wide angle after nearly a minute.
Under the stunned eyes of the Russians, it easily penetrated a fortress in front of the lighthouse, and then used dozens of kilograms of antimony in a horrific explosion, turning the fortress into a pile of ruins from the inside.
And this round of bombardment also kicked off the general attack on Vladivostok. While the Huaxia and Yanhuang bombarded the Russian island, the super-large-caliber heavy artillery on the water tank gun position in the north of Vladivostok also began to roar, weighing one ton.
The huge cannonballs passed over the mountains in front of them, falling one after another in the city of Vladivostok, and then instantly wiped out everything around them like the giant hammer of the gods.
At the same time, the infantry who had been waiting for a long time also began to march towards Vladivostok along the narrow coastal plain. The Russian troops guarding this fortress relied on various fortifications and tried their best to block their advance.
, but in the face of infantry equipped with a large number of recoilless rifles and individual rocket launchers, these defenses are becoming more and more useless. Especially those individual rocket launchers, which are actually imitations of the bazooka's 60 rocket launcher, because
There are no armored targets worthy of their attack, but they have become the main weapon against Russian fortresses. Especially in the mountains and forests north of Vladivostok, their short roars are like the devil's cry to the Russian troops hiding in machine gun bunkers.
