Xu Rui nodded and said: "When the main force of the Japs is concentrated near Vladivostok, that will be the day for us to take action. Of course, the premise is that Vladivostok must be defended. Otherwise, we will lose all our previous efforts and all our plans will come to nothing."
Savushkin said: "Comrade Xu Rui, don't worry about this. After so many years of repairs, the Vladivostok fortifications are very strong. No matter how many Japanese soldiers there are, it will be more difficult to capture them in a short time than to climb to the sky!"
Xu Rui said: "As long as you can defend Vladivostok, there is a lot to be done in this battle. Although the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly and is not subject to our will, as long as we make no mistakes and capture the fighter planes, we will definitely be able to defeat the incoming enemy."
Jap."
Savushkin said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you had rich experience in commanding mechanical troops when you were in Moscow. I believe that the rapid assault troops under your command can definitely defeat the Japanese devils."
"Report, the Japanese vanguard is only a hundred kilometers away from Vladivostok, and the Japanese are advancing very fast. It is expected that they will reach the outskirts of Vladivostok in one to two days." A soldier reported.
Savushkin immediately came to the map with Cherev and Xu Rui. Savushkin looked at the map and said: "The Japanese are coming so fast. We must seize the time to strengthen the peripheral defense line to prevent the Japanese invasion."
Cherev said: "Comrade Xu Rui, when can you take action?"
Xu Rui said: "When the main force of the Japanese is concentrated outside Vladivostok, it will be the best time to take action."
"But as a result, Vladivostok will be under tremendous pressure." Cherev said.
"So, the key to this battle depends on you. If you feel that you really can't hold on anymore, then I will take action. The longer you hold on, the more Japs will gather in Vladivostok, and the greater our results will be.
"
Savushkin gritted his teeth and said: "Fight the Japanese devils, Comrade Xu Rui, don't worry in the direction of Vladivostok. As long as I, Savushkin, are here, there will be Vladivostok. We must fight this battle well and give Japan
The devil has learned enough lessons!"
"Okay!" Xu Rui nodded and said, "I will form a rapid assault force right away. If I can't hold on, I will contact you by telegram immediately."
"Comrade Xu Rui, everything is left to you!" Savushkin's two big hands, like cattail leaf fans, were tightly clasped with Xu Rui's.
Later, Xu Rui led the guard regiment to take a detour to the vicinity of Hunchun Ridge. Because the Japanese were attacking Vladivostok from Hunchun Ridge, Xu Rui could only take a small path, and finally found the large force of the New Anti-Alliance Regiment near Hunchun Ridge.
At this time, the Soviet convoys and tanks were already in place. Since they were far away from the battlefield, Japanese planes rarely flew for reconnaissance, so the Japanese did not discover this unit.
Xu Rui immediately changed the troops from riding horses to making chariots, leaving only the Iron and Steel Division of the cavalry battalion to still ride war horses, but with one man and three cavalry. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Iron and Steel Division could be greatly improved.
Xu Rui knows the power of the mechanized force in his hands. The mechanized force can completely crush the opponent against the Japanese infantry. However, these one hundred tanks are the final trump card. If they don't move, they will definitely affect the battle situation.
function!
On the outskirts of Vladivostok, Genda Hebei, the former commander-in-chief of the Japanese enemy and the commander of the First Division, put down the telescope in his hand, with a solemn look on his face. Genda Hebei could see that Vladivostok's defense was still very strong, and what stood in front of them was
There were reinforced concrete fortifications everywhere, and tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers were hiding in these fortifications and resisting.
Genda Bingwei couldn't help but secretly think that Vladivostok was able to hang in the Far East for several years without being captured. It seemed that it had its own reasons. Such powerful fortifications were completely comparable to those at Lushunkou. It seemed that if he wanted to
It is impossible to capture Vladivostok without paying a certain price.
Genda Biewei is a very promising soldier. As the division commander of the First Division, although he is naturally resourceful and brave, the more reason is his surname. The surname Genda was originally of royal blood.
Because the imperial family had too many people, it was separated from the imperial family, but it is undeniable that people with this surname have royal blood in their blood, and it is the most noble surname in the Japanese nation besides the imperial family.
However, Genda Hei has no special feelings about his surname. He is an extremely conceited person. He believes that he can reach his current heights by relying on his own abilities without relying on his family name.
It is a pity that the First Division has been stationed in the Tokyo area and is responsible for protecting the security of the imperial family and Tokyo. Therefore, Genda Hei can only watch other troops crisscrossing the battlefield, and he can only live in Tokyo.
Look at the luxurious life, but in fact it is a boring life.
Genda Hebei was a man who enjoyed life very much. When he was in Tokyo, he often went to officers' clubs and bars. As time went by, the news spread like wildfire, and he became the famous "Nightclub General".
Genda Bingwei was deeply ashamed of this nickname. He always wanted to prove himself on the battlefield. This time he led half of the First Division to fight in the Primorsky Territory, which gave him an excellent opportunity to make contributions. Genda Bingwei
Wei is determined to prove himself on the battlefield and take off his hat of "nightclub general".
Seeing the fortifications scattered everywhere in Vladivostok, Genda Hei felt his scalp numb. If such dense fortifications could not be destroyed with artillery fire, they would not be able to attack them no matter how many people died.
However, Genda Hei couldn't wait. The cannon was still behind and would take several days to be transported. So Genda Hei decided to send an advance force to conduct a tentative attack. However, this advance force seemed to be unlucky and could not die.
One man advanced more than 200 meters and tore a hole in the Soviet army's outer defense line.
With the success of the advance troops, Genda Hebei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that the Soviet army's combat effectiveness was only this. It seemed that as long as the heroic imperial army pushed forward, it could attack Vladivostok in one go.
Genda Biewei could not help but get excited and immediately ordered his troops to launch a full-scale attack. After a brief mortar attack, a flood of Japanese soldiers launched an attack on the Soviet positions outside Vladivostok.
Seeing that the Japanese had fallen into the trap, Savushkin had a smile on his face. In fact, in order to deal with the Japanese attack, the Far East Front made full preparations. First, most of the defenders from various places retreated to Vladivostok.
Many temporary positions were established. Savushkin even flattened and hollowed out a hill tens of meters high in front of Vladivostok, turning the entire mountain into a fortification, which was also the main position of Vladivostok.
Facing the probing attack of the Japanese, Savushkin deliberately held back a hand, and basically no fire was fired at the fortifications, so the Japanese could march straight in. The reason why Savushkin did this was to attract the Japanese to launch a general offensive, and then use
The fortifications killed and wounded Japanese soldiers in large numbers.
Seeing that the Japanese had fallen into the trap and the large group of troops launched a general attack without artillery cover, Savushkin knew that his strategy had been successful. This time, the Japanese suffered a big loss!
"You deserve it Yaji!"
The Japs commander roared, and countless Japs armed with Type 38 rifles launched a charge towards the Soviet fortifications.
Ta-ta-ta...
At this time, the Soviet fortifications were at full firepower. Countless light and heavy machine guns formed a cross-dimensional firepower network, constantly spitting tongues of fire outwards, like flashing whips hitting the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers fell in pieces, but the Japanese devils
They accepted death again, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they continued to attack. The Japanese in front fell down, and those behind rushed up. The corpses on the ground were spread layer after layer.
Seeing this scene, Savushkin put down his telescope and said: "The current scene reminds me of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. My father was once an officer stationed in the Port Arthur Fortress and witnessed that cruel battle.
war."
"Comrade Savushkin, I heard that the war was very difficult," Cherev said.
"Yes, my father was a captain in the Lushun Fortress at that time, responsible for guarding a fortress. According to my father, the Japanese did not care about their lives in the war. There were two heavy machine guns in the fortress at that time, and the Japanese wanted to occupy the fortress, so they launched a
In order to attack, my father used the machine guns in the fortress to kill more than 10,000 Japanese in one night. The corpses of the Japanese were spread all over the hill. I didn’t believe it when my father said it. Everyone cherishes their lives. There is no risk of death.
Want to charge?
But now I believe it. You see, the situation now is so similar to that of the past. If the Japanese attack like this, they will definitely pay a heavy price!"
Savushkin was right. In this hasty general attack launched by the Japanese, countless Japanese soldiers died. The positions outside Vladivostok were full of corpses of Japanese soldiers, and their blood dyed the white snow red.
After paying a heavy price, Genda Bei finally realized that he had been tricked by the Soviets. However, it was too late. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers died in the battle. Genda Bei had no choice but to order a halt to the attack.
But at this time, the Soviet army suddenly launched a counterattack, catching the Japanese by surprise, and many Japanese were killed and wounded. That night, the Japanese finally learned how powerful the Soviets were.
The first attack ended in a disastrous defeat. Such a result was unacceptable to the conceited Genda Bei, who wanted to organize a new attack. However, under the persuasion of several other division commanders, Genda Hei gave up.
He was angry and prepared to wait for the arrival of the artillery before continuing the attack.
After the bloody first day, the Japanese became more honest. Savushkin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that after learning the lesson, the Japanese no longer dared to attack again in a short period of time. They would definitely gather enough troops and firepower before launching an attack again.
, this way, you will have a chance to breathe.
The fact was just as Savushkin expected. After experiencing heavy casualties, the Japanese began to gather troops. Troops from the four divisions came in a steady stream, and a new war was about to break out...
