Tsarist Empire, Primorsky of the Far East, Vladivostok.
Tsar Mikhail and the Chief of the General Staff, Colonel-General Brushlov, are discussing the current situation of the war.
“Your Majesty, the Home Fleet of the Navy has finished resting and left the Mahajanga Naval Base on Madagascar Island to set off for Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base. The fleet is expected to arrive at Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base early next month and rest for another month. At the same time, the battleship is also allowed to complete maintenance and maintenance. In this way, around mid-July, the fleet will be able to set off from Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base for a decisive battle with the Imperial Oriental Navy. Admiral Brusilov said.
The high-level of the Tsarist Russian Empire, the hopes of completely defeating the Eastern Empire, are pinned on ~ the Navy.
They also all believed that the Imperial Russian Navy must have such strength.
Mikhail nodded: “There are still more than two months to go, and the war between the empire and the Oriental people can be completely divided into victories and defeats.” After the Imperial Navy defeated the Oriental Navy, the war would be completely free of suspense – ! ”
“Yes, Your Majesty. However, recently, the Oriental people have made frequent moves on the land battlefield and dispatched extremely large troops. This already poses a great threat to the Imperial Army. Admiral Brusilov reminded.
“It seems that the Toyo people intend to defeat us on land before the navy fights a decisive battle with us. Tell the generals at the front that they must resist the attack of the Oriental people within more than two months. The second group of reinforcements drawn from Europe is already on the way. The front line can go all out! Mikhail ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty. The number of troops currently put into the battlefield by the Oriental people has reached the millions. Even in the war, they paid huge losses. However, the strength is still not to be underestimated. According to the information received, the Oriental people still have millions of troops training on the mainland. They have a lot of reservists. If this continues, I am afraid that it will only take another two or three months to complete the training. Admiral Brusilov said.
“It is true that the Oriental people have a lot of reserves, but do they have so many weapons and equipment to arm these troops?” Mikhail believed that with the military industrial production capacity of the Eastern Empire, this would never be possible.
“Your Majesty, the Sun Never Sets and the Germanic people are selling all kinds of weapons and equipment to the Orientals, but they have made a lot of money.” Admiral Brusilov answered.
“Hmph! Isn’t this a war fortune under the guise of neutrality? One day sooner rather than later, the Empire will settle accounts with them! Mikhail snorted coldly.
Whether it is the Sun Never Sets Empire or the Germanic Empire, they are all enemies of the Russian Empire. It’s just that both enemies are powerful. If the Russian Empire wanted to deal with two at the same time, it would not be able to do it at all.
In Mikhail’s plan, one will be dealt with first, and then the other.
If successful, then the Russian Empire will dominate the European continent and claim the throne of world hegemony. Of course, in the end, I am afraid that it will inevitably compete with the lighthouse country for hegemony.
The geographical location of the lighthouse country is too superior, and the blood of Europe is flowing like a river, and the losses are heavy. But they were able to make a fortune in war. The rise of the lighthouse nation is almost unstoppable.
The only thing Mikhail could do was to strengthen the Russian Empire as much as possible, so that it would not be defeated in the future all-round competition with the Lighthouse State.
Otherwise, years of hard work will be in vain.
In early May 1804, the all-out offensive of the Eastern Imperial Army had begun. It was not only the troops deployed by the Russian army in Dashiqiao and Gaizhou that were fiercely attacked by the Orientals.
After abandoning its attack on Lushun Fortress, the Third Army of the Eastern Army also turned north and joined the fierce attack on the Shahe Line.
For a time, the 4 infantry divisions, one heavy artillery brigade and one cavalry brigade deployed by the Russian army on the Shahe defense line had to face the attack of twelve infantry divisions, two cavalry brigades and two field heavy artillery brigades of the Eastern Army.
Although in the previous battle, the Second Army of the Eastern Army had already suffered a lot of losses.
The Third Army of the Eastern Army also paid a heavy price under the Lushun Fortress.
But even so, the two armies combined numbered more than 200,000 people.
The Shahe defense line is the most important defense line of the Russian army in the Liaodong Peninsula, and naturally it cannot be allowed to break through by the Orientals.

Otherwise, the Oriental people would occupy the entire Liaodong Peninsula except for the Lushun Fortress, and even be able to go north to join the attack on Gaizhou and Dashiqiao. At the same time, it is possible to continue north along the coastline, posing a threat to the Russian army’s defense line on the Green River.
Therefore, the Russian army naturally has to fully defend this line of defense.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The Eastern Army used a large number of 150mm howitzers, 120mm howitzers and 75mm field guns to frantically shell the Russian Shahe Line.
And the artillery of the Russian army, not to be outdone, launched a fierce return fire.
Even now the Russian army is completely inferior in the number of artillery. However, the artillery of the Russian army was more advanced. The rate of fire of the barrel gun is also two to three times that of the retired gun.
This makes the artillery of the Russian army not at a disadvantage in the artillery battle with the artillery of the Toyo Army.
However, what really posed a huge threat to the entire Shahe defense line was the fierce attack of the Eastern Army.
General Nogi Yoshinori applied the tactics of attacking the fortress of Lushun to the attack on the Shahe River Line.
A large number of Oriental soldiers, facing the guns of the Russian army, launched a charge without fear of death until they were killed.
Relying on a section of defense defended by the Sand River, the Sand River was in a period of abundant water during this period, and although the river surface was not wide, the river was not shallow. Oriental people want to cross the river, but it is not so easy.
But there was still a section of land defense, which became the focus of the Oriental attack.
The fierce attack of the Eastern Army, regardless of casualties and losses, made the losses of the Russian army also begin to soar.
In many cases, the Oriental soldiers were able to charge less than 100 meters away from the Russian defense line and engage in fierce confrontation with the Russian army.
The marksmanship of the Oriental is still very good, almost much stronger than the Russian soldiers. If the same forces use rifles to shoot, the Russian army is really not their opponent.
This allowed the Russian army to often only be able to shoot those Oriental soldiers through powerful machine-gun fire and mortars.
But even then, the losses of the Russian army began to rise. The pressure on the entire line of defense is also getting bigger and bigger.
