The Russian army abandoned the Goryeo Peninsula and abdicated to the north bank of the Orochi River, using it as a defensive line against the attacks of the Eastern Army.
This allowed the Eastern Empire to occupy the entire territory of the Goryeo Peninsula, and it made the Oriental people feel a sense of exasperation.
Kuroki, commander of the First Army of the Toyo Army, is a senior general of the Zheng, and this is especially the feeling.
After the start of the war, the First Army was criticized a lot, and General Kuroki was criticized a lot. Now, they have finally defeated the Russian army and captured the Goryeo Peninsula, which is undoubtedly a major victory.
As for those who questioned it, the Russian army retreated on its own. But what does it matter then?
General Kuroki ordered all infantry divisions under the First Army to advance towards the Raolu River, striving to cross the Raolu River in one fell swoop and invade the northeastern region. To demonstrate the powerful combat power of the Toyo Army.
Of course, in order to scrape together military food and other supplies, the Goryeo people on the Goryeo Peninsula poured blood mold.
The Oriental people do not have the slightest bit of humanity to speak of, they will not care about the life or death of these Goryeo people, and directly rob the Goryeo people’s food. This made these Goryeo people hate the Oriental people even more. At the same time, it is also hoped that the Russian army can fight back as soon as possible.
The Russian army reinforced the defense line of the Crow Green River, built a large number of fortifications, deployed artillery positions and machine-gun fire points, and so on. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly more difficult for the Oriental people to break through the defense line of the Crow-Green River of the Russian Army.
For a time, there was no problem with the security of the defense line of the Yalu River. The Russian army used six infantry divisions to hold the defense line of the Aulu River and resist the attack of the First Army of the Eastern Army, and there was no problem at all.
However, at this time, the war in the Liaodong Peninsula changed again.
The Fifth Army of the Toyo Army began to land at Yingkou in a big way.
The current Fifth Army has ten infantry divisions and a huge strength of more than 280,000 troops.
The arrival of such a huge combat force on the Liaodong Peninsula will undoubtedly have an extremely serious impact on the entire war situation.
Fortunately, the Tsarist Empire has long received relevant news.
When the 24th Infantry Regiment under the Fifth Army of the Eastern Army began to land at Yingkou, the Russian Army realized that the Oriental people began to increase their troops.
This is undoubtedly a great threat to the troops deployed by the Russian army on the Liaodong Peninsula, especially the army on the Shahe River defense line.
“Your Excellency Commander, once the Orientals land at Yingkou in a big way, and then send a large number of troops to attack the northern defense line again. Then, the northern defense line will be under the enemy’s back. There is even a great possibility of collapse under the two-sided attack of the Orientals. We have to prepare early~. Major General Yakov, chief of staff of the 6th Army, suggested.
Admiral Kulopatkin nodded repeatedly, his brow furrowed tightly, and it was clear that he was also aware of this.
“We now have only two options, either abandon the Sand River Line. Let the troops stationed on the Shahe defense line immediately retreat to the north, whether along the eastern coastline to the Andong line, or from the western coastline to the Great Stone Bridge. But in this case, it is equivalent to abandoning the entire Liaodong Peninsula, leaving only the Lushun Fortress to fight alone.
Another option is to continue to hold the Shahe defense line. At the same time, provide them with reinforcements. If nothing else, all the supply of materials on the Shahe defense line must be guaranteed. Once the Orientals launch a large-scale attack on the Shahe Line, we must reinforce them in time. In this way, the security of the Shahe River defense line can be ensured. ”
Admiral Kulopatkin presented his opinion.
“Your Excellency Commander, these two plans have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is really not a good choice!” Major General Yakov said.
“Yes, report to His Majesty the Tsar. How to choose, it is up to His Majesty the Tsar to decide! Admiral Kulopatkin said.
“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” Major General Yakov answered.
Mikhail, far away in Vladivostok, was also thinking about this after receiving a telegram from the headquarters of the 6th Army.
If he could, he certainly didn’t want to give up just like that. Otherwise, the entire Liaodong Peninsula would be realized, and even the Lushun Fortress would be at risk of falling, and the war would further spread to the northeast region.
This will not only further increase the risk of the Russian army resisting the Eastern Army, but also cause the people in the northeast region to suffer heavy losses due to the poison of the war.
Mikhail does not want another time and space scene to repeat itself in this time and space.
“Your Majesty, if we don’t want to give up the Shahe defense line, we must ensure that the Dashiqiao, Gaizhou, Shuangtai, Yongning, and Wafangdian lines are under our control. In this way, it will be possible to ensure that the link with the Shahe line will not be severed. It can also ensure the smooth flow of materials. The Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Brusilov, advised.
“Even if we control these towns, the railway line is also within the range of the naval guns of the Orientals.” Mikhail said.
“Yes, Your Majesty. But even if the railway was destroyed by the Oriental with naval guns. However, we can still transport goods and people by road. It’s just that the speed is relatively slow. Admiral Brusilov said.
Mikhail nodded: “On the side of the 6th Army, there are reinforcements from the 4th Infantry Division. Ten infantry divisions drawn from Europe and three heavy artillery brigades have also arrived. Therefore, we also have enough troops to put into the offensive. At the same time that the Oriental people increased their troops in a big way, they took the initiative to launch an attack and open up the line from Dashiqiao to Wafangdian. ”
“Yes, Your Majesty. From the current point of view, the enemy we have to deal with is mainly the Fourth Army of the Eastern Army. Their 5th and 10th Infantry Divisions were still attacking the Great Stone Bridge. However, at present, the losses have been heavy, and the attack is already small. In addition, it was the 14th Infantry Division that retreated to Gaizhou. This infantry division was fiercely attacked by the troops of the Imperial Army garrison on the Shahe River defense line at Wafangdian and also suffered heavy losses. Admiral Brusilov replied.
“Inform the headquarters of the 6th Army of our decision and let them draw up the relevant battle plan and implement it immediately.” We must complete our combat objectives before the main forces of the Orientals land in a big way. Mikhail ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Admiral Brusilov hurriedly went to convey the relevant orders. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
