“According to the information we have received, the Russians are deployed in the Far East, the 6th Army of the Army, which has 10 infantry divisions, a heavy artillery brigade and a cavalry brigade.
These forces were deployed in the northern part of the Goryeo Peninsula, the Liaodong Peninsula, Vladivostok and northeastern China.
Among them, in the Liaodong Peninsula there are also two marine brigades of the Russians and the main force of their Pacific Fleet.
Therefore, the Liaodong Peninsula would be the main operational direction of the Imperial Army’s attack.
We planned for the First Army to attack north from the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula, defeat the three infantry divisions deployed by the Russians in the northern part of the Goryeo Peninsula, and then cross the Yalu River and launch an attack on the northeastern part of China.
The Second Army landed on the Liaodong Peninsula and attacked northward, cooperating with the 1st Army to crush the main Russian forces deployed in the northeastern region of China.
The Third Army landed in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, launched an attack on Lushun Military Port and the surrounding areas, and cooperated with the combined fleet to take this important Russian stronghold in the Far East, which had the first fortress in the Far East!
The Fourth Army served as a reserve, and once Russian reinforcements arrived, the Fourth Army would be put into action.
The tasks of the subsequent 30th Fifth Army were also reserves. However , the Fifth Army did not begin mobilization until after the outbreak of war. ”
General Oyama Iwa introduced the battle plan of the Eastern Imperial Army to everyone.
If it could, the Eastern Empire naturally hoped to defeat the Russian Empire with as few troops as possible. In this way, the expenses during the war will be a little less. At the same time, the cost may be less.
However, this time they are facing a world-class power like the Russian Empire, and they cannot be sloppy. So they have to prepare for the worst. If the war does not go well, they have to put in more troops. At that time, we can only do our best to win this battle regardless of the cost and losses.
For the Eastern Empire, winning this war and winning the war is undoubtedly the most important. In contrast, everyone else can be left alone. As long as the Russian Empire was defeated. Then, even if it is a big loss, it is worth it.
“Yo West! Very well, the army will implement it according to this plan. I firmly believe that the Imperial Army will be able to win! General Katsura nodded repeatedly.
“Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” General Oyama replied.
“What about the Navy? Is the combined fleet ready? The Navy was crucial in this battle. The navy had to defeat the Russians. In this way, we will be able to land in China smoothly. At the same time, it can ensure the safety of logistics supply lines, as well as the security of the homeland. Moreover, it was possible for the Russians to truly admit defeat. Senior General Katsura said.
In the next battle of the Eastern Empire, the war on land was of course important, and it was about whether they could snatch a lot of benefits from the Russians. However, the war at sea is related to whether the Eastern Empire can win this war.
Therefore, war at sea is actually the key.
Of course, for the Eastern Empire, they had been painstakingly preparing for this war for many years. For this, a large number of battleships and armored cruisers were ordered to the Empire that never sets, as well as other countries. It is so that they will be able to gain superiority in the Navy.
At least for now, the Imperial Navy of the East has gained an advantage in the Far East. Then, it will naturally be much easier to win this battle next.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the entire Imperial Navy is ready for battle. The combined fleet has all been assembled in the Sasebo military port. All the warships have also been maintained and maintained, and the war is in peak condition.
Although, the Russian navy is strong. However, their disadvantages are also very obvious. That is, the Pacific Fleet they deployed in the Far East are already old warships, and they simply cannot be opponents of the cutting-edge warships of the Imperial Navy. And the main fleet of the Russians needs to travel thousands of miles from Europe to the Far East. At that time, the Imperial Navy can wait for the work and defeat them, and the odds of defeating them are also very large! ”
Vice Admiral Gonbei Yamamoto said.
Admiral Katsura nodded repeatedly, the Eastern Empire had invested heavily in the navy.
Or in other words, over the years, the entire Eastern Empire has tightened its belts in order to develop its navy.
If the Navy can’t win like this, then I’m afraid they will have to cut their stomachs and apologize. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
“Very well, if the Navy can win. Then, the empire is invincible in this battle. Senior General Katsura said.
His meaning is also very obvious, the Oriental Imperial Navy is very crucial.
If the Navy wins, then everything will not be a problem. If the navy loses, then the Eastern Empire will probably not be able to win the war. If they don’t get it right, even the security of their homeland cannot be guaranteed.
Several high-ranking officials of the Eastern Imperial Navy nodded repeatedly.
“Togo-kun, it’s up to the combined fleet next. How is the combined fleet ready to fight this battle? General Katsura asked.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Combined Fleet will attack from Sasebo and directly attack the Pacific Fleet of the Russians stationed at Lushun Fortress. Before the Russians could react, they blocked the harbor. In this way, 077, the Imperial Army could land on the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula without any threat.
If the Russians dare to go to sea to fight, it will be a dead end. The combined fleet of the Imperial Navy has enough strength to destroy them all.
Once the army conquered the fortress of Lushun by land. Then, the fleet of the Russians remaining in the military port will become a turtle in an urn, and we will be able to easily solve them by attacking them by land and sea.
After that, it was time to wait for the main fleet of the Russians to sail from Europe to the Far East. This is the real decisive battle. Although, the main fleet of the Russians is strong. However, we believe that after crossing more than half the world, their strength has been greatly lost, and they are definitely not our opponents. ”
General Heihachiro Togo looked confident.
Admiral Katsura Taro had no objection to the Navy’s plan.
The army and navy of the Eastern Empire are ready.
The pace of war is approaching day by day.
On the evening of February 6, 1804, the combined fleet of the Imperial Oriental Navy secretly left the Sasebo military port under the cover of night, preparing to cross the Yellow Sea and launch a surprise attack on the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy.
The war has begun, and the Orientals still vile and shamelessly choose to fight undeclared.
