July 27, 1804, Yingkou.
The Russian army’s offensive on Yingkou continued. It’s just that given that the defense of the Oriental people is very tenacious. In addition, the Orientals built a large number of fortifications at Yingkou. Even all the buildings in the entire Yingkou Castle area were built into defensive strongholds by the Orientals.
This made the Russian army inevitably pay huge losses if it wanted to forcibly attack Yingkou.
Therefore, Tsar Mikhail, after learning of this situation, ordered the Russian army not to put in the infantry for the time being to launch an attack, in that case, it would only allow the conspiracy of the Oriental people to succeed.
Only the artillery of the Tsarist Russian Army was allowed to carry out fire strikes on Yingkou. With the help of heavy shelling to destroy the Oriental defenses, even if the entire place is wiped out, it will not hesitate. In this way, it can undoubtedly effectively reduce the losses of the Russian army. “Seven Zero Three”
This also brought the offensive of the Russian army to a standstill. Daily large-scale shelling, although the losses of the Oriental people were great. However, if this is the case, the Russian army will not be so easy if it wants to make a breakthrough. The Toyo Army’s combat intent seems to be realized.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Outside Yingkou City, the heavy shelling of the Russian army continued. The buildings in the city, under the heavy shelling of the Russian army, were destroyed one after another and turned into ruins. The losses of the Toyo Army stationed in the city were also increasing.
However, the generals of the Oriental people apparently did not take these losses into account. In their minds, as long as they can achieve their battle plan, no matter how big the loss, it is worth it.
“Your Excellency, Commander, the Russians have been frightened, they simply do not dare to attack with infantry, they can only hit us by shelling. However, if the Russians want to defeat us in this way, it is absolutely delusional. We have gathered more than 200,000 people here. The Russians want to blow us all up with shells, and that’s impossible!” said General Keiaki Kawamura with a smile on his face.
Although, his troops had already suffered heavy losses in the battle. Moreover, under the daily heavy shelling of the Russian army, the losses of troops are also rising. However, none of this seems to matter at all.
General Nozu Michikan nodded repeatedly: “Next, we will see that the sun does not set.” If we resist the attack of the Russians, the sun will not set and put pressure on the Russians. Perhaps, the Russians will agree to return to the negotiating table. If the empire pays a certain price. Then the war is over.
In this war, the empire was still not ready after all. Or rather, the strength of the Russians was seriously underestimated, so that the empire lost the battle so badly. Next time, when the Empire is ready, the Empire will definitely be able to defeat the Russians!”
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander, the Empire will certainly be able to defeat the Russians. Not this time, there must be no problem next time!” General Keimei Kawamura also looked confident.
Oriental people have an extreme personality, but they also have the meaning of indomitability, and they will not give up until the goal is achieved.
Although they were not able to win this battle, they will continue to work hard until they achieve this strategic goal.
At this time, Major General Kikuzo Otani, staff officer of the Fourth Army of the Eastern Army, hurriedly broke in.
“Your Excellency Commander, something is wrong, the Russian warship has appeared near Yingkou!” reported Rear Admiral Otani Kikuzo with a look of panic.
“What? How so?” exclaimed General Nozu Michikan suddenly, his face filled with disbelief. Then, it was even more frightening.
He seems to have missed the fact that the Russian Imperial Navy had taken out the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean and won the naval battle.
Therefore, the coast is definitely not a safe place for the Eastern Imperial Army.
Previously, when the Russian Empire did not have sea control, the Russian army fought as far away from the coast as possible, so as to avoid their troops being attacked by the navy of the Orientals.
And now, the Russian Empire has sea control. Then, naturally, the Russian Imperial Navy could join the attack.
“Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do now, the Russians will certainly use their battleships vile and shamelessly open fire on our defensive positions. General Keimaki Kawamura’s face turned pale.
At this moment, their previous pride had disappeared. Instead, it’s all horror 0 of the battle that follows.
And General Nozu Michikan didn’t know what to do. He never imagined that one of his mistakes would directly put their troops in extreme danger.
On the sea, six Mikhail-class battleships, six Mosk-class heavy cruisers and six Rostov-class light cruisers, as well as 12 A destroyers, of the home fleet of the Tsarist Navy, have arrived in this sea area.
The commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Rozhdestwinsky, put down the binoculars in his hand.
“Order the ships, prepare to fire. With our artillery fire, raze this place to the ground. At the same time, all the Orientals stationed here will be killed!” ordered Lieutenant General Rozhdestywinsky.
They received orders from His Majesty the Tsar to prepare to fully assist the army in combat.
They have already taken out the navy of the Orientals. Then, the next step is to assist the army in taking out the Orientals. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
“Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!” replied Rear Admiral Grignovich, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Home Fleet and Chief of Staff of the Northern Fleet.
On the sea, six Mikhail-class battleships, as well as those heavy and light cruisers, had already crossed the hull and were ready to fire.
Subsequently, the gun commander gave an order. The ships immediately began to attack.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Three triple 1.150 times caliber 305-mm guns on the battleship Mikhail I opened fire first, and high-explosive shells weighing hundreds of kilograms flew towards Yingkou.
“Boom! Boom!”
The explosion sounded, the flames burst into the sky, and the black smoke soared into the sky.
Other Mikhail I-class battleships also opened fire.
The 210-mm guns of the Mosk-class heavy cruisers, the 155-mm naval guns of the Rostov-class light cruisers, and the 105-mm naval guns of the A destroyers were firing fiercely.
For a while, it was as if the entire Yingkou was caught in the heavy shelling of the Russian Navy.
Especially these 305-mm naval guns, which are too powerful. Every time the cannon goes down, it will leave a large pit with a diameter of more than ten meters. This is too ferocious for a fragile human body.
