Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

"Next, we will use Yingkou as a base to resist the Russian attack. The Fourth Army has already built a line of defense in Yingkou, which is the surrounding area. Although Yingkou is a small city, we can rely on the buildings in the city to build a defense line. Fortifications to resist Russian attacks. As long as we can persist here and cause greater losses to the Russians as much as possible, then we will be able to gain a certain advantage in the next negotiations." Notsu General Dao Guan said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" General Keiaki Kawamura replied.

Lost times, he naturally has no objection.

The Fifth Army of the Eastern Army has invested in the offensive force of Dashiqiao, which has as many as 7 infantry divisions and nearly 200,000 people. But now, under the fierce attack of the Russian army, they have lost nearly half of them. If they continue to resist the attack of the Russian army desperately, I am afraid that they will be wiped out in a short time. Instead of this, it is better to give up part of the line of defense and transfer to the defense. In this case, there may be a chance.

"What about Gaizhou? The 29th Infantry Division, the 30th Infantry Division and the 31st Infantry Division fought against the Russians' four infantry divisions and a cavalry brigade. We didn't take advantage of anything." General Keiaki Kawamura Said.

Although, the three infantry divisions of the Orientals and the four infantry divisions and one cavalry brigade of the Russian army are comparable in strength. Even the Orientals have a slight advantage.

But in the performance on the battlefield, the Orientals were suppressed, and the losses of the troops were very large.

General Nozu Michiko looked at the map hanging on the wall, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Gaizhou can no longer continue to attack, order them to turn to defense. It is best to retreat to Yingkou, if It would be best to be able to retreat and join the defense here. In this case, our defense force will be even stronger

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" General Keimei Kawamura naturally had no objection to this~.

Anyway, the order was issued by General Nozu Dōtsuki. Even if there are any problems in the future, Nozu Dōtsuki will take the main responsibility, and he will only take the secondary responsibility.

bottle day

Under the order of General Notsu Douki, the Fifth Army of the Eastern Army began to abandon its original position and retreat towards Yingkou. Whether it was fighting in Dashiqiao or Gaizhou, the troops withdrew quickly. For this reason, they even had to discard some artillery, etc., so as not to be dragged down-speed.

Naturally, the Tsarist Russian Army is in hot pursuit.

In the end, as many as 17 infantry divisions, two heavy artillery brigades and one cavalry brigade of the Tsarist Russian Army surrounded Hukou.

The Tsarist Russian army set up cannons and fired violently at the defense line of the Orientals, using artillery fire to destroy the defense lines of the Orientals and kill the vital forces of the Orientals. Create favorable conditions for the next large-scale attack.

At the same time, on the Shahe defense line, the Second Army and the Third Army of the Eastern Army had also received orders from the mainland and stopped attacking.

After the Russian army strengthened the defensive strength of the Shahe line of defense, even if the Second Army and the Third Army of the Eastern Army assembled a large number of troops to launch an attack, it would not be able to play any role.

If they continue to attack, they will only pay a higher price. Under such circumstances, it is naturally unnecessary.

Even though the commander of the Third Army, General Nogi Nozomi, was very dissatisfied with this, he also knew that the current situation was like this, and they had no choice.

The strategic goal of the Eastern Army is no longer whether it can defeat the Russians, but whether it can survive the fierce Russian attack.

The Second Army and the Third Army of the Eastern Army had to be transferred to the full defense.

Although, the Second Army and the Third Army of the Eastern Army have a lot of troops. Together, the two armies consisted of 12 infantry divisions, two cavalry brigades and two field heavy artillery brigades. If all these troops are at full strength, the total strength will be as high as 370,000 to 80,000.

However, many consecutive fierce battles came down. Now the Second Army and the Third Army add up to less than 200,000 people.

Among them, the original four infantry divisions of the Third Army have undergone a round of replenishment after suffering heavy losses. Otherwise, they will have fewer troops.

But even so, in the face of the next powerful attack launched by the Russian army, the Second Army and the Third Army of the Eastern Army have no confidence in being able to withstand it. All they can do is to hold on for as long as possible.

0...asking for flowers...

The First Army of the Eastern Army is on the Koryo Peninsula, although it has successfully occupied the entire Koryo Peninsula. However, at present, it is also blocked by the Russian army on the south bank of the Yalu River.

Especially when the navy of the Eastern Empire has been wiped out, the Easterners are even more unable to fight the Yalu River.

Of course, the commander of the First Army, Hei Mu, was General Zhen, and now he had no intention of fighting the Yalu River at all, but wanted to rely on the Yalu River to resist the Russian attack. If it can withstand the Russian attack, hold the Yalu River defense line, and defend the Koryo Peninsula, it will undoubtedly be the best.

But he soon knew that this was simply a delusion.

Although the First Army has 9 infantry divisions under its jurisdiction, its total strength is as high as 256,000 when it is fully staffed. But now, their remaining troops are only 170,000 to 80,000. Once the Russian army mobilizes the main force to launch an attack, can these troops be able to defend the Koryo Peninsula? That is completely delusional.

Time passed little by little, and it was late July in a blink of an eye.

The main force of the Tsarist Russian Navy's local fleet finally arrived at the Liaodong Peninsula after a long journey.

However, the Tsarist Russian navy had no time to rest and went directly into the attack.

The five battleships of the 1st Division of the Pacific Fleet, as well as the five "Sovereign-class" battleships that captured the sun never set, all needed repairs.

However, the berths on the side of Lushun Fortress are limited, so the five battleships of the Pacific Fleet's 1st Squadron were repaired at Lushun Fortress. The remaining five 'Sovereign Class' battleships went to Vladivostok for repairs. As for the "Cressy-class" armored cruisers and "Drake-class" armored cruisers, they took part in cutting off the logistics supply line of the Orientals with injuries.

And the naval support that the Tsarist Russian Army had been waiting for for so long finally came.

The Tsarist Russian army has been looking forward to the large-caliber naval guns of the navy for a long time.

Now that the navy has come. Well, now they can finally show the Japanese how powerful the large-caliber naval guns are. .
