Chapter 149 Defensive Operations (Fourth More, Please Subscribe!)
February 28, 1804, Vladivostok.
The special train of Tsar Mikhail II arrived at the railway station in Vladivostok. General Kuropatkin, commander of the 6th Army, and others greeted him at the train station.
Originally, Admiral Kuropatkin had prepared to lead the army headquarters to Shenyang to form a front enemy headquarters and take full charge of the frontline battles. But His Majesty the Tsar was coming soon, so he had to postpone the time.
"Your Majesty, welcome to the Far East." Admiral Kuropatkin stepped forward to greet him.
"During the war, there is no need to fix these falsehoods, it's because of the headquarters." Mikhail said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Kulopa-Tkin replied.
At the headquarters of the 6th Army, Admiral Kuropatkin briefed Mikhail and the Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Brusilov, on the current situation.
"Your Majesty, there are currently two main directions for the Dongyang people to attack. One is the Koryo Peninsula, and the other is the Liaodong Peninsula. Among them, on the Koryo Peninsula, the Dongyang people dispatched three infantry divisions to attack Seoul and Heping Rang respectively. However, they were blocked by the imperial army in both places. In the direction of Seoul, the imperial army gave up the area south of the Han River and retreated to the north of the Han River. Relying on the Han River, with strong firepower, they prevented the Orientals from crossing the river. And , In this process, it caused great losses to the two infantry divisions of the Orientals. The Imperial Army assembled the 62nd Infantry Division and the 64th Infantry Division in Seoul to resist the attack of the two infantry divisions of the Orientals , no problem at all.
In the direction of Pyongyang, the 63rd Infantry Division along the Taedong River also resisted the attack of an infantry division of the Orientals. The entire Koryo Peninsula battle has entered a stalemate. Unless the Orientals continue to increase their troops. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to break the deadlock.
On the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, the Imperial Army's 65th Infantry Division and 66th Infantry Division have already retreated into Lushun Fortress, and together with the 10th and 11th Marine Brigades, they are sticking to Lushun Fortress. At present, the Orientals have no signs of attacking Lushun Fortress. However, according to the information obtained, the Japanese troops in the country have already begun to board the ship. It is expected that the Orientals will be involved in the attack soon.
The Second Army of the Orientals, about 130,000 troops, has begun to attack the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The 67th Infantry Division, 68th Infantry Division, 69th Infantry Division, and 70th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army have built a defense line north of Shahe, ready to resist the attack of the Japanese. The 61st Infantry Division, the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 6th Cavalry Brigade have also rushed to the front. It is expected to arrive at the front line soon.
Chen will also go to Shenyang to sit in command of the frontline operations. The minister assures His Majesty that this time, the Orientals will definitely be blocked from the Koryo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula!"
Admiral Kuropatkin reported.
The 6th Army has been preparing for this battle for a long time. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the troops of the entire Sixth Army has also been greatly improved.
Admiral Kuropatkin is also very confident in his troops.
"Very good. I am very satisfied with the performance of the 6th Army on the battlefield. The soldiers on the front line are also fighting very well.
However, although we have already resisted the attack of the Orientals on the battlefield. But the Orientals will certainly not let it go. Since they have painstakingly prepared for this war for such a long time, how could they tolerate such a failure? No need to think about it, the Orientals will definitely send more troops to attack in the future. Next, the Sixth Army will face a tough battle. Even, facing the attack of the superior force of the Orientals. For this reason, all departments of the 6th Army must do a good job in combat-related work!"
Mikhail exhorted.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Admiral Kuropatkin.
"The 5th Army has sent reinforcements. The first batch of troops should have entered the northeast region of the Qing Empire." Mikhail continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The 51st Infantry Division, 52nd Infantry Division, 5th Cavalry Brigade and 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade of the 5th Army are advancing towards the Liaodong Peninsula." Admiral Kulopa Zhou Jin said.
"The second batch of troops of the 5th Army is also on the way. In this battle, both the 6th Army and the 5th Army will be the main forces of the Imperial Army on the battlefield. I believe that the Imperial Army The combat power of the two armies of the army is enough to make the Orientals pay a very heavy price.
0…ask for flowers………
Of course, under the crazy mobilization of the Orientals at any cost, it is not easy for the Imperial Army to defeat them. So, the 1st Army side, and the rest of the armies
They are also preparing. Once there is a need, more reinforcements will continue to arrive at the Far East front. It is simply a delusion that the Orientals want to step on us and rise to become a world-class power!"
In this time and space, Mikhail will never let the same thing happen again.
Admiral Brusilov and Admiral Kuropatkin nodded repeatedly. They would never let the Tsarist Empire suffer humiliation, and they would never let a small country like the Orientals ride on the neck of the Tsarist Empire.
"Currently, the Imperial Navy's local fleet has already set off from Europe. However, because the sun never sets, it will take a lot of time for the fleet to reach the Far East. Therefore, during this period of time, the army must resist the Orientals." I don’t ask the army to defeat the Dongyang people at this stage, as long as they can stabilize the front line and keep the Dongyang people from the Koryo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, that’s enough. Wait until the navy destroys the Dongyang people’s navy and cuts off the Dongyang people’s homeland The logistics supply line between them and their army. Then, the army of the Orientals will become a turtle in the urn. At that time, it will undoubtedly be much easier for the imperial army to defeat them and annihilate them!" Mikhail continued.
With the strength of the Tsarist Russian Empire, it is actually not too difficult to defeat the Eastern Empire. As long as the Tsarist Russian Empire begins to mobilize and then send a large number of troops to the Far East to deal with the Orientals, the final victory will belong to the Tsarist Russian Empire.
However, the price paid for this is too high.
Let the 6th Army and 5th Army of the Tsarist Russian Empire resist the attack of the Orientals first, and eliminate the vital forces of the Orientals as much as possible in the defensive operations. After the navy wins, there will be plenty of opportunities to get rid of the Orientals. In that case, the Tsarist Russian Empire can win the victory gate of this battle at the least cost. .
