With the roar of cannons, the Japanese soldiers who were attacking the coastal fortress fell in pieces. Almost every shell fired could kill several or even a dozen Japanese soldiers. The entire coastal area was full of broken corpses of Japanese soldiers.
In the coastal fortress, Savushkin and Cherev are holding on to the last line of defense. Behind this line of defense is the sea. That is to say, once the fortress is captured, all the Soviet troops will be driven into the sea to feed the fish.
After several days of fierce fighting, especially under the enemy's indiscriminate artillery fire, the Soviet Far East Front Army of more than 30,000 people suffered heavy losses. So far, there are only less than 20,000 people left, and a large part of them are
They were wounded. This time, the Far East Front Army was really injured. However, more importantly, the Japanese were still attacking fiercely. The Far East Front Army was in an extremely dangerous situation.
Savushkin and Cherev were in a fortress at this time. Cherev said: "Comrade Commander, this seaside fortress is the best line of defense for our army. If it is captured by the Japanese, I would rather jump."
Hai, I don’t want to be a prisoner.”
Savushkin said: "Comrade Cherev, we are all loyal proletarian fighters. If we die, let's die together!"
While the two were talking, the officer observing the situation outside shouted excitedly: "Comrade Commander, the situation has changed!"
Savushkin picked up the telescope and looked into the distance through the lookout port. He saw that although the Japanese were still charging towards the fortifications, one shell after another fell among the Japanese, causing the Japanese to cry and howl. It was extremely miserable.
Savushkin was stunned and said: "What is going on? Why are the Japanese cannons bombarding our own people?"
"Comrade Commander, Comrade Xu Rui is calling!" Cherev shouted from behind.
"Oh? Comrade Xu Rui?"
Savushkin was overjoyed, turned around, and picked up the telegram. He saw that the telegram stated that Xu Rui's troops had arrived in Vladivostok after annihilating the main force of the 18th Division, and had occupied the Japanese artillery.
position and completely wiped out the Japanese artillery regiment.
"here you go!"
Savushkin put down the telegram excitedly and said: "Comrade Xu Rui did a great job. Not only did he completely wipe out the main force of the 18th Division, but he also came to Vladivostok and killed the Japanese artillery in such a short period of time.
The position was so timely. The Japanese lost their cannons, just like a tiger losing its teeth. They were unable to conquer the coastal fortress defenses in a short period of time."
"The time for the decisive battle has arrived, and everyone is ordered to prepare for a counterattack," Savushkin said.
"yes!"
"Order, our tank troops are ready to counterattack!"
Savushkin had been keeping a tank regiment, about a hundred tanks, in his hands for this final counterattack. Now, he decided to invest his last capital on the battlefield to fight the Japanese to the death!
Savushkin picked up the telescope again and watched the Japanese being blown down one by one. His heart was filled with joy. He knew that the final decisive battle was about to begin!
"attack!"
Xu Rui got on the tank and commanded the troops to advance quickly outside. At this time, the main force of the Japanese had already crossed the main city of Vladivostok and attacked the coastal area. On the outskirts of Vladivostok, there were only some logistics troops and Genda Hebei's headquarters.
Leng Tiefeng on the hill was condescending and had already reported the location of the Japanese headquarters to Xu Rui, so Xu Rui decided to go straight to Huanglong this time and capture the Japanese headquarters in one fell swoop.
After marching and fighting all the way, Xu Rui's tanks were left with only more than 60 tanks at this time, and most of the ammunition had been consumed. However, everyone knew that this was the last battle, so everyone cheered up and prepared.
The final battle with the Japanese.
"Go forward!" Xu Rui yelled.
"Ula!"
Inside the tank, all the Soviet tank operators roared in unison, increasing the tank's speed to the limit.
Seeing many antennas in front of him from a distance, Xu Rui knew that there must be the Japanese enemy's headquarters, so he started his tank and rushed towards the headquarters.
"Give it Yaji!"
The Japanese soldiers directly in front suddenly opened fire, and heavy machine gun bullets hit Xu Rui's tank like raindrops, making a clanging sound and sparks flying everywhere.
"Turn the muzzle down ten degrees, at twelve o'clock, fire!" Xu Rui yelled.
"boom!"
The next moment, the Japanese blocking position was in a mess. Under the continuous attacks of tanks and artillery, the two Type 92 heavy machine guns were all blown into the sky.
"go ahead!"
Xu Rui yelled, ignoring the Japs' bullets, and rushed toward the largest tent in the center of the Japs.
boom!
The tank broke straight into the tent. The tent was in a mess, with snow-white documents all over the floor. Genda Heiwei was guarded in the middle by more than a dozen staff members.
Xu Rui ordered the vehicle-mounted machine gun to be pointed at these Japs.
"Onboard!"
Several Japanese staff officers took out their command knives and rushed toward the tank.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
With the roar of the vehicle-mounted machine guns, six or seven Japanese officers who rushed up fell down.
The vehicle-mounted machine gun once again aimed at the remaining five or six Japs. These five or six Japs looked at each other and were just about to escape. But at this moment, more than a dozen tanks had surrounded the Japs' tent, and the Japs had already inserted themselves into the tent.
Is it possible that Genda Bingwei lowered his head feebly? He had no determination to die generously, so he had no choice but to become Xu Rui's prisoner...
"Forward!" The tanks rumbled in, breaking through the enemy's obstruction and rushing toward the seaside, beating the enemy back steadily.
"Ula!"
In the Binhai Fortress, hundreds of Soviet T34 tanks suddenly rushed out and rushed forward like a storm. Tens of thousands of Soviet troops followed the tanks and launched a counterattack against the Japanese.
For a time, two torrents of steel advanced from the north and south. The Japanese had been fighting bloody battles in Vladivostok for several days and were already exhausted. Under the joint attack of the Soviet army and the new anti-alliance regiment, the formation continued to compress toward the center. At this moment
, the cannon on the hill began to roar again, and huge shells fell into the enemy formation, causing heavy casualties to the enemy.
At this time, the Japs, under the joint attack from the north and south, had already lost their formation. Although the Japs officers desperately wanted to stabilize the situation, the Japs eventually collapsed completely and fled in all directions, and the Japs soldiers were not at the first place.
Time broke out of the encirclement and wanted to hide. Many people actually dug holes in the ground to hide, but in the end, the tanks ruthlessly crushed them...
A hint of white rose in the eastern sky, and the sky gradually became brighter. When the last touch of night faded, the entire Vladivostok battlefield finally became quiet. Although sparse gunshots still sounded from time to time, the overall situation was decided.
There were corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, and their blood dyed the ground in Vladivostok blood red.
The two torrents of steel finally came together, and the new anti-alliance regiment successfully joined forces with the Soviet army. For a moment, cheers resounded throughout the night, which also meant that the entire decisive battle in Vladivostok had achieved final victory.
At this time, Xu Rui opened the tank cover and jumped to the ground. He looked around and saw ruins everywhere, smoke and corpses everywhere. A group of soldiers were walking around among the corpses with bayonets in hand.
When you see the corpse of a Japanese soldier, you go up and patch it up with a knife. When you see your own corpse, you carry it aside and cover it with a white cloth.
"Report!"
Not far away, Du Junjie and Chen Xuedong walked over together and saluted Xu Rui. Chen Xuedong said: "Captain, according to current statistics, our army destroyed most of the Japanese in this battle and captured the soldiers of the Japanese First Division.
Commander Genda Heiwei, only a few thousand Japanese soldiers fled, our army won a complete victory in this battle!"
"Very good, let's go and see Savushkin with me!" Xu Rui said.
"Comrade Xu Rui, I'm here!" From a distance, Savushkin walked towards Xu Rui with a happy face.
The two people held each other tightly.
Savushkin said: "Comrade Xu Rui, thanks to you this time, otherwise Primorsky Krai would have fallen. Your help will always be remembered by the Soviet people."
Xu Rui thought to himself, will the Soviet people remember this? When I made such great contributions on the Soviet-German battlefield, Stalin drove me back to my hometown with just one sentence. I don’t believe your nonsense? But this time I won’t either.
It was a vain fight, but he managed to acquire so many tanks and cars, and transformed his new regiment into a mechanized force.
Thinking about it in his heart, Xu Rui said: "Savushkin, we all have the same ambitions and goals. The Soviet Union and China are one family!"
"Yes, we are a family!" Savushkin laughed.
At the moment, Savushkin communicated with Xu Rui. Xu Rui did not want to stay in Vladivostok. He wanted to drive away the Japanese from Hunchunling and Wujiashan and restore the Wujiashan base area. However, Savushkin was a little embarrassed.
Said: "Comrade Xu Rui, after several battles, the Far East Front has only 20,000 troops left in total. They have to disperse and guard various places, which will not be able to help you regain Wujiashan."
Xu Rui said: "Comrade Savushkin, I know the difficulties of the Soviet comrades, so this time the recovery of Hunchun Ridge and Wujiashan will be completed independently by our new anti-alliance regiment, but my tank shells are almost exhausted.
, I need to replenish my ammunition before taking action."
Savushkin said: "There is no problem with this at all."
At that moment, Savushkin ordered people to replenish ammunition and supplies for Xu Rui's troops, and Xu Rui immediately led the new anti-alliance regiment toward Wujiashan.
The road was smooth, and there were not many Japanese soldiers in Hunchunling and Wujiashan. In addition, after learning that the front line had failed, the soldiers had no fighting spirit and fled one after another. Therefore, Xu Rui regained Hunchunling and Wujiashan without much effort.
, At this point, the entire battle ended with the complete victory of the Soviet and Chinese armies.
This battle did not last long. Counting outpost battles, it only lasted a month. However, this battle was a decisive battle that determined the strategic situation in the Far East!
