Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Chapter 155 Blocking!!

On March 10, 1804, the Fourth Army of the Toyo Army, escorted by the Combined Fleet of the Toyo Navy, entered the Bohai Sea and landed directly at Yingkou.

The Russian army was well aware that now the Orientals had the right to dominate the sea.

If heavy troops are deployed in the coastal areas and a big war with the Toyo people, they will suffer great losses.

It is not known how many troops will be blown to pieces under the bombardment of the large-caliber naval guns of the Toyos, or directly blown into slag.

Therefore, the Sha Strike Army only deployed a very small number of reconnaissance troops in Yingkou.

When a large number of warships of the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Navy appeared in the waters around Yingkou, the troops of the Tsarist Russian Army stationed here immediately retreated.

At the same time, this news was reported to the headquarters of the army group at the first time.

General Kuropatkin, commander of the 6th Army, who had already arrived in Shenyang, quickly grasped the news.

“Your Excellency, it seems that the Dongyang people have suffered a great loss on the Shahe defense line, and they know that they will not be able to break through our Shahe defense line at all. Therefore, this is to open up a new battlefield, and even go to the square line of the sand war river that I have drawn. ”

The chief of staff of the army group, Major General Yakov, said.

Admiral Kulopatkin nodded repeatedly: “The Toyo people landed at Yingkou and could directly detour to the Shahe defensive line. We can’t let them succeed. Otherwise, under the attack of the Orientals on both sides, it will be difficult for us to resist their attack. Once the Shahe defense line collapses, we will lose the entire Liaodong Peninsula. ”

“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. But all the armies under the army group have already been dispatched. ”

Major General Yakov reminded.

“Let the troops reinforced by the 5th Army go and stop the Toyons.”

“Admiral Kulobethkin made a quick decision.”

If the 6th Army were to rely only on it, it would certainly not be able to sustain the entire battlefield in the face of the superior forces of the Orientals.

But, fortunately, reinforcements from the side of the 5th Army had arrived.

Although, at present, only part of it.

But for the 6th Army, it is enough to solve the current urgent needs.

“Let the 51st Infantry Division, the 52nd Infantry Division, the 53rd Infantry Division, the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 5th Cavalry Brigade go to the Great Stone Bridge garrison. Prepare to stop the Toyos. If the Toyo people advance in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula. Then, they immediately launched an attack and pursued the Toyons, absolutely not allowing them to attack the Shahe defensive line! ”

Admiral Kulopatkin answered.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!”

Major General Yakov answered.

“In addition, on the Goryeo Peninsula, the Orientals have also increased their troops. The pressure on our troops stationed there is high. Let the 54th Infantry Division, the 55th Infantry Division, enter the Goryeo Peninsula and reinforce them. In any case, I must also ensure that the Goryeo Peninsula is under my control. The Upper Easterners cannot be allowed to break through the Goryeo Peninsula more. ”

Admiral Kulo took the lead in Patkin.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. However, in this case, we only have the 56th Infantry Division as a reserve. ”

Major General Yakov reminded.

“The remaining four infantry divisions of the 5th Army are expected to arrive in half a month. By that time, we will have enough reserves in our hands. In addition, in view of the constant increase of troops by the Toyons. His Majesty the Tsar has already ordered the preparation of troops from the region of Oshada for reinforcement. At that time, the Oriental people want to defeat us by relying on superiority in forces, which is simply delusional. ”

Admiral Kulopatkin’s face was full of confidence.

The Toyo Army has a great advantage in terms of manpower.

However, this is mainly due to the fact that the main forces of the Russian army are deployed in Europe.

Otherwise, the Toyo Strike Army would not be comparable to Kousha as our attacking army at all.

But even so, the Russian army was able to send a part of its troops from the European states to reinforce the Far East.

This was enough for the Russian army to hold the battlefield.

After all, for the Russian Army, it was at this stage to find a way to resist the attack of the Orientals.

After the Russian navy defeated the navy of the Orientals and seized sea supremacy, the Orientals became the head of the urn.

At that time, the troops sent by the Orientals to the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula will all be wiped out by the Russian army.

This is a fatal blow to the Oriental Empire.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!”

Major General Yakov answered.

Immediately, the Russian army also quickly made deployments.

The 51st Infantry Division, the 52nd Infantry Division, the 53rd Infantry Division, the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 5th Cavalry Brigade, along the railway line, quickly rushed towards the Great Stone Bridge 0… In particular, the 51st Infantry Division and the 5th Cavalry Brigade, which were not far from the Great Stone Bridge, quickly moved there and began to build square lines.

At this time, the Fourth Army of the Toyo Army was still landing at Yingkou.

General Nozu Michikan, accompanied by Major General Kikuzo Otani, chief of staff of the Fourth Army, Lieutenant General Sutomi Yamaguchi, commander of the 5th Infantry Division, Lieutenant General Sadami Ando, commander of the 10th Division, and Lieutenant General Mitsuharu Tsuchiya, commander of the 14th Division, arrived at Yingkou.

The Russians did not put up any resistance here, which was somewhat surprising to General Tsuzu.

“It is incomprehensible that the Russians retreated without any resistance! Don’t they know the importance of Yingkou? ”

General Nozu Michikan was surprised.

“Your Excellency, Commander, perhaps the Russians know that it is impossible to resist us, so they just fled!”

Major General Kikuzo Otani said.

General Michikan Nozu shook his head: “No, the Russians are not afraid of us, but of the Imperial Navy. The large-caliber naval guns of the Navy were enough for them to lose dearly.

The Russians knew very well that if they remained in Yingkou to resist us, they would be shelled by the large-caliber naval guns of the Navy. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, they gave up Yingkou.

As in the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, they directly abandoned the coastal areas and retreated to attack inward. ”

Major General Kikuzo Otani nodded repeatedly.

“Order the 5th Cavalry Company of the 5th Infantry Division and the 9th Infantry Brigade to march immediately to the Great Stone Bridge to capture it before the Russians. And build a defensive line to withstand the counterattack of the Russians! ”

General Nozu Michikan ordered.

“Hey, under the same picture of the official pavilion today! I will personally lead the 5th Cavalry Wing and the 9th Infantry Brigade to set off! ”

Lieutenant General Sutomi Yamaguchi, commander of the 5th Infantry Division, replied.

Immediately, the Toyo Army immediately dispatched to Oishibashi with the 5th Cavalry Company as the vanguard and the 9th Infantry Brigade as the backup.

In particular, the 5th Cavalry Wing, with more than 1,700 people, was very fast, and went straight to the big stone bridge.

From Yingkou to Dashiqiao, it is only 30 kilometers.

If the cavalry is fast, it will be able to reach more than an hour…
