Beiyang 1917

[Text] Chapter 210, the unsatisfactory results of the Japanese army

------------

The Japanese fleet finally gained the upper hand in the artillery battle off the coast of Vladivostok, but encountered trouble when it landed before the evening. It is a low-lying area under the fortress fortress. After the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese warship guns, the fort fell silent. After the Japanese army landed and landed, the roar of the Russian army Maxim sounded again!

The distance from the beach is less than 300 meters. The giant guns on the Japanese battleships can't provide fire support at all. If they are a little bit off, they will blow up their own team's foreheads, but the rapid-fire guns on several destroyers of the Japanese Navy Fleet It played a certain task of fire support, but when the Maxim firepower points on the Russian fortress were removed one by one, there were not many people left in the vanguard brigade, and the low-lying area was a good place to hide from the Russian machine gun fire.Down.

building.

But it is also a deadly Shura field. Because it is a depression, the direct fire from the Japanese warships can't reach it, so this place was planted with landmines by the Russian army. heavy!

Fortunately, the Russian army did not stick to it. After losing the firepower of the fortress artillery and the Maxim machine gun, the Russian army quickly withdrew from the first-line positions, while the Japanese army continued to bombard the already empty forts and fortress positions. After more than half an hour, a second brigade was sent for reinforcements before rushing to the Russian army's position.

If you want to say that the blood feud between the Russian army and the Japanese army was forged during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, the quality of individual soldiers of the Russian army in 1905 was much better than that of the Japanese army, which was powerful and coaxing, especially in hand-to-hand combat. With the bayonet, the little devil suffered a great loss, which is also the reason why the Japanese army emphasized the ability of individual soldiers to fight and stab.

That night, the Japanese army captured the fort and the fort, but they were too exhausted to advance overnight. As I said earlier, the fort and fortifications in Vladivostok are all facing the sea, so as far as the north is concerned, the fort has no loopholes. The Japanese army had to temporarily establish a condescending firepower point on the fort, while the remaining four or five thousand Russian troops retreated to the city, with Vladivostok Railway Station as the core fortification, preparing to fight a street battle with the Japanese devils.

The heroic fighting of the Russian army not only disgraced the Japanese navy and the Kurume division, but also bought time for the residents in the city to evacuate. In the eyes of the Russians, it was obvious that the Japanese yellow-skinned monkeys were murderous devils without batting an eyelid, but they aimed at the Chinese Communist Party. The * team is quite unfamiliar. The Russians look down on the Chinese but are not afraid of the Chinese, including the Chinese model army that has not yet been taught.

The Russians looked down on the Japanese themselves. Apart from the fanatical Bushido spirit, the Japanese army during the Russo-Japanese War was in a mess from battlefield command to strategic decision-making. The quality of individual soldiers was also extremely poor. After fighting for a year, both of Nogi's sons died on the battlefield. In the face of the Russian army's dominant Maxim and grenades, the Japanese army's main strategy was a meat-bomb attack.

Therefore, although the Japanese Vladivostok dispatched troops have landed and captured the coastal fortresses and forts, the Russian army has no intention of surrendering. Here we have to say that the Russian army is smarter than the soldiers on the Songhu battlefield in the future, so they gave up the first The purpose of the line fortresses and forts is to pull the Japanese army ashore, which can reduce the threat of naval guns from the opponent's sea fleet. At this moment, Japan's air force is almost non-existent, and its air bombing capability is almost blank.

This is about the glorious history of Vladivostok as a fortress. From 1904 to 1905, the initial construction of the Vladivostok Fortress played an important role in preventing the Japanese army from occupying Vladivostok.From 1910 to 1916, the engineer general a; p; Fernand put forward a new fort design plan, and the commander of the Vladivostok fortress engineer a; p; Major General Shao Xin strongly agreed with this.

In the following years, fortresses No. 1-7 and fortresses a, e, zh and z were built on the south bank of the Suifen River Valley from Ussuriysk (Twin Cities) to the Amursky Gulf, and on the south and east banks of Russky Island A series of infrastructure such as forts 9-12, coastal forts, and anti-landing covered passages have been established.The new fortress incorporated all the achievements of military engineering technology at the time, including many well-equipped bunkers and underground passages.

If Vladivostok had 1918 defenders like Lushun back then, let alone one Kurume division, even three Kurume divisions may not be able to take Vladivostok smoothly. In 6000, there was only one East Siberian [-]th Infantry Brigade left in the Vladivostok garrison. With [-] people, it is difficult to guard such a huge fortress and fortifications.

The main force guarding the fortress is artillery. There were 1905 battalions of coastal artillery in Vladivostok during the Russo-Japanese War in 12, but in February 1918, due to the complicated and confusing situation in Russia, there were only 2 artillery battalions left. Waiting for the first day After the landing battle, the four artillery battalions lost almost all their artillery, and more than half of their personnel were killed. They had to withdraw to the second-line positions under the order of the fortress commander and commander of the 4th Infantry Brigade Bischoff.

It should be said that the Japanese army at this time was still able to endure hardships. After occupying the coastal fortresses and forts, the No.12 division seized the time and quickly went ashore one by one. Located in the core fort of the coastal fortress, although the reinforced concrete building suffered damage under the bombardment of the 280mm caliber cannon of the Japanese naval battleship, it is still much stronger than a camping tent in terms of sturdiness!

Half of the brigade was lost on landing, and more than half of the brigade was lost after landing. The 12th Infantry Regiment of the No. 12 Brigade, which led the No. 14 Division in Japan, lost one-third of its strength. Goro switched to the second line to rest and replenish, and replaced the 47th Infantry Regiment of the [-]th Brigade to take the lead.

This night Shibagoro and his Kurume division were landed and disembarked, which took too much energy and physical strength, so that they were unable to land and continue to attack the Russian army in Vladivostok.

On the day of February 1918, 2, China and Japan attacked Siberia and the Far East on five routes. The three armies of the Chinese participating army on land made quite good progress, while the Japanese Vladivostok dispatched army and the Japanese navy rushed to the beach in Vladivostok. The landing performance can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

As for Japan's Waixing'anling dispatched army, since the sea area north of Vladivostok has not yet thawed, Japan's Waixing'anling dispatched army went directly north from Sakhalin Island, crossed the ice, and successfully conquered Temple Street. The frozen Temple Street is about 80 kilometers away from the place where Heilongjiang flows into the Heilongjiang estuary, about 977 kilometers away from Khabarovsk, and 582 kilometers away from Komsomolsk, a heavy industrial city in the former Far East.

When the temple street is not frozen in summer, medium-sized ocean-going vessels can reach it, and it is a transshipment port for Far East river transport and offshore transport. There are two standing divisions, the Seventh Division and the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army. In fact, only the vanguard of a brigade originally stationed in the Seventh Division of Kanto Prefecture was sent.

In 1918, the Seventh Division headed by Fujii Yukitsuchi, who graduated from the 8th term of the Ribon University, was organized as follows:

7th Division

13th Infantry Brigade: 25th Infantry Regiment, 26th Infantry Regiment

14th Infantry Brigade: 27th Infantry Regiment, 28th Infantry Regiment

7th Cavalry Regiment

7th Field Artillery Regiment

7th Engineer Regiment

7th Transport Wing

ri本陆军第七师团于1888年5月12ri在北海道札幌成立，是ri本帝国陆军由6个区域指挥部重组成1个分区指挥部后，所建立的第1个师团。

At that time, the reorganization was proposed by the Prussian military adviser Jacob Merkel.

The division is responsible for the defense of Hokkaido and is divided into 4 divisions (Sapporo, Hakodate, Asahikawa and Kushiro). Since the Japanese government encouraged the use of retired soldiers to defend Hokkaido, the 7th division was overstretched and included many original Soldiers from other parts of Japan.

The parent body of the 7th Division of the Beiguo Corps, which is the Tantianbing, is the Tantianbing in Hokkaido established in 1885 according to the "Tuntianbing Regulations".Tuntian Bing was responsible for both the development of Hokkaido and the defense of the north.It is a half-agricultural and half-soldier army that usually cultivates and engages in farming; if there is a war, it will go into battle.Unlike the previous 6 divisions, it was very late to be reorganized into a division.

In 1896 after the Sino-Japanese War, it was officially reorganized into the 7th Division.The regiment recruited and replenished troops from the four regiment areas of Sapporo, Asahikawa, Hakodate and Kushiro. However, the population of Hokkaido was very sparse at that time. Iwate, Yamagata, etc.) to supplement the shortage of manpower.

In Wang Geng's words, the Seventh Division is the peasant army of the little devils. In the Warring States Period of Japan, it was the ashigaru with spears as the main equipment. It was farming in peacetime and fighting in wartime. The fighting power is extremely poor.

In fact, in Wang Geng's previous life, the head of the Seventh Division was stationed in Manchuria, and was almost wiped out in the battle of Nuomenkan with Lao Maozi!

Fortunately, at this moment, the magic star of the Seventh Division’s past life, the boss Georgy of Nomenkan; Corporal Zhukov joined the Sleeve Army, joined the 1th Regiment of the 4st Moscow Cavalry Division, and became a Sleeve Cavalry Platoon Leader.
