() Just when the battle on the northern front was heating up, with the support of the Beiyang Fleet, the Beiyang Army on the southern front also launched an attack on the Russian defense line. Different from the northern front's pursuit of speed, the southern front used various light artillery

With the support of the Russians, the defense force of the Russians was consumed little by little. Although it was not violent, this method of attack was quite economical in terms of infantry strength.

.And the Russian army on the opposite side did not dare to take it lightly. Although the Russians felt that it was a feint attack, they really did not dare to transfer all their troops to the northern front. After all, the southern front and Beiyang were far apart, and if the other side launched a general offensive,

If so, wouldn't the empty southern front be destroyed in one fell swoop? So the Russians were forced to split their forces into two parts to deal with it...

With a main attack all the way and a feint attack all the way to contain the troops, the Beiyang offensive seems very reasonable to ordinary people. However, as everyone knows, the real hidden arrow is a Beiyang rapid assault regiment dormant on the eastern front. The eastern front is mountainous and directly obscures it.

This improved the artillery's observation and firing angles, so at the beginning, the Beiyang Army did not deploy too many heavy artillery on the eastern front, and the Navy did not

Not much attention was paid to it. Coupled with the rugged roads, the Russians did not put too much energy into this aspect. Anyway, if the opponent broke through the defense line, they could mobilize troops from the northern and southern lines in time to contain it.

.And the Russians also have balloons. After repeated reconnaissance, they also determined that Beiyang does not have too many troops in this area, so they are naturally more relieved!

The so-called attack that requires unpreparedness is the mentality of the Russians! The mountain roads are rugged and it is difficult for heavy artillery to provide effective support. No one stipulates that it is impossible to fight without superior firepower! Similarly, the overly complex terrain also affects the Russians

The use of firepower. In fact, the Beiyang assault regiment only needs to quickly capture a few firepower points on the offensive road. Without heavy artillery to destroy bunkers on a large scale, this is not a problem. Zhang Wenxuan led the

The assault regiment was not meant to tangle with the Russians on the fortress. Due to the terrain, there were 2 to 3 lines of defense in other directions from the peripheral defense to the city of Vladivostok. But after passing through the hilly terrain on the periphery, they only had to penetrate it.

A trench system with weak defenses can directly cut into the fragile inner city of Vladivostok. Avoiding the heavy Russian troops and directly messing up the interior, the temptation is too great!...

Of course, high returns often represent high risks. Not to mention the difficulty of getting in. Even if you get in, whether you can successfully open up the situation in Vladivostok city, destroy the command posts and warehouses marked in advance, and control important transportation hubs are all unknown. 1

After the troops of more than a thousand people enter, it is very likely that they will become hundreds of people, or hundreds of scattered people. If you are not careful, you may be surrounded and annihilated!

For this reason, the Beiyang navy and army made careful arrangements for this assault. First, in terms of the order of attack, Zhang Wenxuan's assault regiment was arranged last, and the main Russian forces were mobilized as much as possible to the two battlefields of the northern and southern fronts.

Later, Zhang Wenxuan launched another attack. Secondly, the Beiyang Navy stated that it would deploy at least 4 battleships to clear the way for the assault regiment to attack. Thirdly, in terms of equipment, the assault regiment will be assigned an additional

The engineer battalion is used for blasting and transporting ammunition. As a result, the number of troops directly entering the city will reach about 2,000. Peng Yi, Ma Yukun and others who are responsible for the northern and southern attacks at the same time said that once Zhang Wen’s Propaganda Department launches an attack, their troops will

The responsible party will maintain pressure to prevent the Russians from blocking Zhang Wenxuan's Propaganda Department. After a series of coordination and full preparations, Zhang Wenxuan's attack officially begins!

With the support of a large number of mortars and light artillery, the Russian firepower points on the attack road were either suppressed or shrouded in smoke bombs. Under the leadership of each company commander, the assault regiment rushed out from the starting position and quickly seized the

After several firepower points that could directly threaten the troops' advance, they ignored the remaining Russian military fortifications and continued to attack them.

Then rush towards the last trench. Although this trench is relatively simple and does not have many concrete fortifications, the overt or covert firepower points still make the assault regiment very annoyed. It lacks direct firepower and heavy mortar support. The team members

For solid civil fortifications, the power of the 60mm mortar is really small!

"The demolition team is ready. We can't always use our firepower advantage to fight! Even if we only have bayonets and rifles in our hands, we still have to tell the Russians that we are an invincible army!" An engineer platoon leader in charge of demolition said before the attack.

He said this to his subordinates.

Under the cover of machine guns and smoke bombs, the demolition team faced the Russian firepower and crawled towards the bunkers that were spitting out tongues of fire. They needed to get close enough and then use the explosive bags or blasting tubes in their hands to blast them away.

.From time to time, people fall on the way forward, but every time a soldier fails to complete the work at hand, there will inevitably be the next soldier who silently ends up using the explosive equipment handed over by his companions to continue the unfinished work of his comrades.

"The path forward for the assault regiment is almost paved with the blood of engineers and commandos." Afterwards, in front of the Russian Army Headquarters in Vladivostok, when someone asked how the Beiyang assault regiment could cooperate with the Western Front in just three days

When the main force broke through the Vladivostok Fortress, Zhang Wenxuan only said the above sentence.

On this road paved with blood and courage, the Beiyang Assault Regiment finally crossed the blockade after paying the price of more than 300 casualties. In front of them, there was the criss-crossing city of Vladivostok with a much more complicated environment.

area. And behind is the Russian army that is concentrating on the breakthrough. The door to retreat has been slowly closed, and the brothers behind

It was impossible to open the breach again. Because of the carelessness of the Russians, Zhang Wenxuan was able to lead the team into the city of Vladivostok, but the Russians, who had learned a lesson from their mistakes, would never let their guard down again. There was only one chance, and the assault group

After entering, if you can't cooperate with the other two directions to open the gap, then this lone army will be dead!

However, facing a place where they are basically unfamiliar and even the road conditions are ambiguous, the comrades of the Beiyang Assault Regiment still have a way, which is to tear down the wall and dig holes. It is naturally not easy to pass through the barricades prepared by the Russians. Since

If we can't go through directly, then we can only take a detour. What if there is no way around the detour or we don't know the way? Then we can make our own way! There is even a rather literary Beiyang non-commissioned officer jokingly saying: "Don't take the ordinary way!" In this way, Beiyang Assault

group

Opening a road through the wall in Vladivostok has completely changed the road conditions in Vladivostok into a mess. Some good people even concluded that using 100 rounds of machine gun bullets can cut through a wall, and using a grenade combined with a hammer can achieve the same effect.

! Such a "theorem". The final result made the Russians who participated in the encirclement and suppression even more dizzy, because facing these big holes in the wall or in the house, no one knew which hole Beiyang got out of, and then used it from
