Toyo Empire, Dongkyo, Prime Minister’s Office.
Prime Minister Senior General Katsura Taro, Lieutenant General Masaichi Terauchi, Minister of War General Iwa Oyama, Chief of Army Staff and Commander of the Manchurian Army, and Foreign Minister Shoutaro Komura are discussing the current situation.
On the side of the navy, because the combined fleet was almost completely destroyed. This drastically reduced the voice of the Imperial Navy in the cabinet. Especially at this stage, when the Eastern Empire is waging a big war with the Russian Empire, the navy can no longer help, and naturally has to stand aside.
“Is the situation on the side of the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army really very serious?” asked Prime Minister Senior General Katsura Taro.
“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The Fourth and Fifth Armies came under heavy shelling from the large-caliber naval guns of the Russian warships. At present, their defense zone is almost completely within the range of the Russians’ large-caliber naval guns. So much so that the Fourth and Fifth Armies, under the heavy shelling of the Russians, suffered very large losses. Even if they had built fortifications before. However, that simply cannot compete with large-caliber naval guns. If the Russians continued to launch such heavy shelling, I am afraid that the Fourth and Fifth Armies would suffer extremely heavy losses. It will even be annihilated by the Russians. General Dashanyan turned livid.
General Katsura Taro’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot 030.
The Fourth and Fifth Armies, but their heavy groups. Once these two armies were eaten by the Russians. Then, I am afraid that the strength of the Eastern Army on the battlefield will be drastically reduced by more than 40 percent. This is undoubtedly an extremely serious blow to the Eastern Army.
Even worse, once the Fourth and Fifth Armies were annihilated by the Russians, the Russians would be able to continue to mobilize heavy troops to attack the rest of the Eastern Army.
For example, the Second and Third Armies assembled on the Liaodong Peninsula south of the Sha River, as well as the First Army assembled on the Goryeo Peninsula, were bound to be unable to withstand the Russian attack. The Russian navy was also able to carry out heavy shelling of these units. At that time, these main forces of the Eastern Army will be broken through by the Russians and eaten one by one.
These troops are all elite units of the Eastern Army! Once lost, the consequences will be very serious.
How do they reply to us?” asked General Katsura Taro.
Now, the Orientals can only pin their hopes on the Russians.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the sun is not setting and the people are declaring that they will continue to put pressure on the Russians. However, from the current point of view, the effect is not obvious. The sun never set and feared the Russians and did not want to really get involved in the war with the Russians. So, act with scruples. And the attitude of the Russians is very resolute. Under such circumstances, the role that the sun does not set is very limited. Komura said.
“Yaga, damn the sun doesn’t set, are they going to see death and not save it?” General Katsura was furious.
“The sun never sets and the people tell us that they will send a fleet to the Far East to deter the Russians. However, the strength of the Far Eastern Fleet, which is now not setting, is not enough to achieve this. Therefore, they also need to draw warships from the European region, and these will take time. The sun does not set, let’s wait a little longer. Komura said.
General Katsura Taro’s face changed gloomy, and he was very annoyed.
“I hope that this time the sun does not set and people can be more reliable.” Otherwise, the situation will be even more unfavorable for us!” sighed Senior General Katsura Taro.
“The army, on its side, must find a way to resist the Russian attack and hold out as long as possible. When the fleet arrives, the situation may be able to improve. Senior General Katsura said.
“Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The warriors of the Imperial Army are not afraid of death. Even if they die in battle until the last moment, they will definitely persevere to the end and will be loyal to His Majesty Tianhuang!” replied firmly as Lieutenant General Masaichi Terauchi.
And the army soldiers of the Oriental People (ABCD) are really not afraid of death?
I’m afraid, not necessarily!
Intense shelling of the Liaodong Peninsula, Yingkou, the Russian navy and army continued.
On the sea, warships of the Russian Navy are still pouring shells on the shore with powerful naval guns.
One large-caliber shell after another, almost erased the city from the map.
The Fourth and Fifth Armies of the Eastern Army stationed here have suffered extremely heavy losses. Even if they hid in those fortifications, they could not withstand the fierce artillery fire of the Russians, but were blown to pieces.
It can be said that the Oriental people stationed here have nowhere to escape. What awaited them was to be killed by the heavy artillery fire of the Russians.
After a week of heavy shelling, the entire city was almost wiped out. One can imagine what a loss the Oriental people who hid inside paid.
“Your Excellency Commander, it’s almost there. We have also consumed most of our shells. Major General Yakov, chief of staff of the 6th Army, reported.
As the Battle of Yingkou was about to end, the commander of the 6th Army, General Kulopatkin, personally rushed to Yingkou from Shenyang and was responsible for commanding the battle.
Admiral Kulopatkin put down the telescope in his hand and nodded.
“Order the infantry divisions to go on the offensive. Still open the way with powerful firepower and wipe out all the Orientals entrenched here!” commanded Admiral Kulopatkin.
“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” replied Major General Yakov.
On August 3, 1804, the general attack of the Russian army on Yingkou began.
A large number of infantry attacked Yingkou from three directions.
At this moment, the defenders of Yingkou had suffered extremely heavy losses under the heavy shelling of the Russian navy and army. So much so that they could not resist the attack of the Tsarist Russian army at all.
Even many Oriental soldiers wanted to resist the Russian attack. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
However, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, and they are simply powerless!
Under such circumstances, the broken defense line of the Oriental people was easily broken through by the Russian army.
One line of defense was breached, and those Orientals who had managed to survive the horrific shelling were killed.
This frightened those Orientals who were lucky enough to be alive.
Many Orientals were completely stunned at this moment, they seemed to have forgotten the spirit of bushido, and some Orientals began to surrender to the Russian army. What loyalty to His Majesty Tianhuang has already been forgotten. Surviving is the most important thing.
