On March 10, 1804, the Fourth Army of the Eastern Army, escorted by the combined fleet of the Eastern Navy, entered the Bohai Sea and landed directly at Yingkou.
The Russian army is well aware that the Oriental now has sea control. If heavy troops were deployed in the coastal areas and fought against the Orientals, they would suffer a great loss.
It is not known how many troops will be blown to pieces under the bombardment of the large-caliber naval guns of the Orientals, or rather directly blown into slag.
Therefore, the Russian army only deployed a very small number of reconnaissance units in Yingkou.
When a large number of warships of the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Navy appeared in the waters around Yingkou, the troops of the Russian Army stationed here immediately withdrew. At the same time, this news was reported to the headquarters of the group army for the first time.
The commander of the 6th Army, General "500" Lopatkin, who had arrived in Shenyang, quickly grasped the news.
"Your Excellency Commander, it seems that the Oriental people have suffered great losses on the Shahe defense line, and they know that they will not be able to break through our Shahe defense line at all. Therefore, this is to open up a new battlefield, and even to go to our Shahe defense line at all. Major General Yakov, chief of staff of the army group, said.
Admiral Kulopatkin nodded repeatedly: "The Oriental landings at Yingkou can directly detour to the Shahe defense line. We can't make them successful. Otherwise, under the two-sided attack of the Orientals, it will be difficult for us to resist their attack. Once the Shahe defense line collapses, we will lose the entire Liaodong Peninsula. "
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. But all the troops under the army group have already been sent. Major General Yakov reminded.
"Let the 5th Army reinforce the troops and go to block the Orientals." Admiral Kulopatkin quickly made a decision.
If the 6th Army alone relied on the superior strength of the Orientals, it would definitely not be able to sustain the entire battlefield.
But, fortunately, reinforcements from the 5th Army had arrived.
Although, at the moment, it is only part of it. But for the 6th Army, it is enough to solve the current urgent needs.
"Let the 51st Infantry Division, the 52nd Infantry Division, the 53rd Infantry Division, the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 5th Cavalry Brigade go to the Great Stone Bridge to garrison. Prepare to block the Orientals. If the Oriental people advance in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula. Then, they immediately launched an attack and pursued the Orientals, and they would definitely not be able to let them attack the Shahe defense line! Admiral Kulopatkin replied.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Yakov answered.
"In addition, on the Korean Peninsula, the Oriental people have also increased their troops. Our troops stationed there are under a lot of pressure. Let the 54th Infantry Division, the 55th Infantry Division, enter the Goryeo Peninsula and reinforce them. In any case, we must also ensure that the Korean Peninsula is under our control. It is not possible for the Oriental people to break through the Korean Peninsula. Admiral Kulopatkin ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. However, in this case, we only have the 56th Infantry Division as a reserve. Major General Yakov reminded.
The remaining 4 infantry divisions of the 5th Army are expected to arrive in half a month. At that time, we will have plenty of reserves in our hands. In addition, in view of the continuous increase in the number of troops of the Orientals. His Majesty the Tsar had already ordered troops to be sent from Europe for reinforcements. At that time, the Oriental people want to rely on the superiority of troops to crush us, which is simply delusional. Admiral Kulopatkin's face was full of confidence.
The Toyo Army has a great advantage in terms of strength. However, this was mainly due to the fact that the main forces of the Tsarist Army were deployed in Europe. Otherwise, the Eastern Army would not be able to compare with the Russian Army at all.
But even then, the Russian army was able to send some troops from Europe to reinforce the Far East. This was enough for the Russian army to hold on to the battlefield.
After all, for the Russian army, it was most important to find a way to resist the attack of the Oriental at this stage.
After the Russian navy defeated the navy of the Oriental people and seized sea control, the Oriental people became turtles in an urn. At that time, the troops sent by the Oriental people to the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula will all be wiped out by the Russian army. This will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Eastern Empire.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Yakov answered.
Immediately, the Russian army also quickly deployed.
The 51st Infantry Division, the 52nd Infantry Division, the 53rd Infantry Division, the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 5th Cavalry Brigade quickly advanced along the railway line towards the Great Stone Bridge... 0 In particular, the 51st Infantry Division and the 5th Cavalry Brigade, which were originally not far from the Great Stone Bridge, quickly moved there and began to build a defensive line.
At this time, the Fourth Army of the Eastern Army was still landing at Yingkou. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Senior General Nozu Michikan, accompanied by Major General Kikuzo Otani, staff officer of the Fourth Army, Lieutenant General Sumotoshi Yamaguchi, commander of the 5th Infantry Division, Lieutenant General Sadami Andong, commander of the 10th Division, and Lieutenant General Mitsuharu Tsuchiya, commander of the 14th Division, arrived at Yingkou.
The Russians did not put up any resistance here, which surprised General Nozu Michikan.
"It's incomprehensible that the Russians retreated without any resistance! Don't they know the importance of Yingkou? General Nozu Michikan was surprised.
"Your Excellency Commander, perhaps the Russians knew that it was impossible to resist us, so they fled directly!" Major General Otani Kikuzo said.
Senior Admiral Nozu Michikan shook his head: "No, the Russians are not afraid of us, but of the Imperial Navy." The large-caliber naval guns of the Navy, enough for them to suffer heavy losses. The Russians knew very well that if they remained in Yingkou to resist us, they would be shelled by the Navy's large-caliber naval guns. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, they gave up Yingkou. As in the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, they directly abandoned the coastal areas and retreated inland. 5.6"
Major General Otani Kikuzo nodded repeatedly.
"Order the 5th Cavalry Wing of the 5th Infantry Division and the 9th Infantry Brigade to march immediately towards the Great Stone Bridge to capture it before the Russians. And build a defensive line to withstand the counterattack of the Russians! Senior General Nozu Michikan ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander! I will personally lead the 5th Cavalry Wing and the 9th Infantry Brigade Regiment out! Lieutenant General Sutomi Yamaguchi, commander of the 5th Infantry Division, replied.
Immediately, the Toyo Army immediately dispatched, with the 5th Cavalry Wing as the vanguard and the 9th Infantry Brigade as the backup, and rushed to the Great Stone Bridge.
In particular, the 5th Cavalry Wing, with more than 1,700 people, was very fast, and rushed straight to the big stone bridge.
From Yingkou to Dashiqiao, it is only 30 kilometers. If the cavalry is fast, it can arrive in an hour.
The Russian army is well aware that the Oriental now has sea control. If heavy troops were deployed in the coastal areas and fought against the Orientals, they would suffer a great loss.
