Later generations of military strategists named the war in the spring of 1869 the Sino-Russian East Asian War. The entire war was composed of several battles. Starting from the initial suppression of Chinese miners in the Qingdao Gold Mine, the powder keg of the Far East began to continue. explode.
Xiao Letian ordered a volunteer army to be sent to the Far East with Xiang Shaolong and Kirigakure Kid as the leadership core to support the Far Eastern survivors of the same culture and ethnicity. After gathering a basic team of officers in Ryukyu and Japan, the army set off from Hokkaido and headed towards the Far East.
The first shot was fired by the volunteers on the banks of the Dobi River. The victory in the Battle of the Dobi River shocked Tsarist Russia, but it did not shock the world. At that time, the scale of the war was still very small. In the hearts of Britain and France, such a war in a barbaric land would not be fought at all. At best, it is just a fight between the indigenous people in Africa and the Middle East.
However, the situation escalated rapidly. The volunteers secretly entered the border and began to expand their military training with the help of General Ninguta. The tsar sent two reinforcements, one to the south and one to the north, to reinforce Vladivostok.
When Tsarist Russia's expeditionary fleet sailed out of the Baltic Sea, all military forces in Denmark, Norway, and the North Sea focused their attention on Tsarist Russia's latest fleet.
At that time, British military observers even boasted that the Chinese would not be able to withstand such a powerful naval force for even a week.
The Tsarist Russian fleet sailed south across the Atlantic, around the Cape of Good Hope, into the Indian Ocean and headed straight for the South China Sea, while the Central Asian Cavalry Corps in the north was preparing for battle to avoid the cold and harsh winter.
In the Battle of Bailayi, the Chinese soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties. Gold, silver and a large amount of rice were burned. Then came the naval battle at the mouth of the Minjiang River. The Zhiyuan came to the fore and gave the enemy a stunning blow.
Immediately afterwards, the Tsarist Russian fleet, which fell into the trap, began its offensive on Amami Oshima. This was a major turning point in the normal Sino-Russian war in East Asia, and it was also a naval victory that shocked the end of the 18th century.
The Czarist Russian fleet in ambush was almost completely wiped out in the Amami Oshima Strait. The remaining army was trapped in the fortifications of Mount Yuwan. Even the Tsar's brother-in-law did not escape. At this moment, he was alone on the top of the mountain, waiting for a miracle to happen.
After that came the Siege of Vladivostok, the Suifenhe Cavalry Assault Battle, the Heilongjiang Mutiny, the Aihun City Sniper Battle, until the Amur River Blockade Battle.
A total of nine fierce battles combined together became the Sino-Russian East Asian War that shocked the world. It was a major war that changed the world structure. Although it was not long, it was very intense and had a huge impact on future generations.
Everything was finally over, and the time to close the net finally arrived. Fadeev's entire army surrendered, which meant that the northern reinforcements were completely destroyed, and the only remaining troops on Amami Island were the remaining ones.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer. There is residual snow covering the earth in the Far East, but here it is already green and even a typhoon has blown by.
Tangwan Mountain is completely lifeless. Except for some bonfires that prove the existence of humans here, there are very few sounds left.
Within the four fortifications guarding the treasury, countless Tsarist Russian soldiers were leaning against each other. Their pale faces and empty eyes lay on the ground staring blankly at the blue sky without knowing what they were thinking.
There were no patrolling military police and no sentries at the border. Even the weapons in the trenches were not pointed outside. The soldiers were slumped in the fortifications one by one like mud. The officers actually had no intention of maintaining military discipline and were lazy. Basking in the sun.
The siege has lasted for a month. It has been a life like hell. At first, there were occasional conflicts between the two sides. However, as the siege lasted, the desperate Tsarist Russian soldiers knew that the end was coming and they would never be able to break out. With the support of the navy, what would happen even if they broke out of Tangwan Mountain?
What makes these Tsarist Russian soldiers even more desperate is the psychological offensive of these Chinese. I don’t know where they found so many preachers who can speak Russian. They hold tin loudspeakers at the front of the battlefield to shout to the soldiers all day long. With a weird accent, he kept revealing the secrets of high-level Russian officials.
Why can the red-haired Axon become your commander? That's because his sister is the Tsar's mistress!
Russia's finances have been exhausted, and the abolition of slavery was promoted through IOUs. The serfs only got rid of a title, but soon they would go bankrupt in batches, and the land would still have to be returned to the landlords.
The defenders of Vladivostok were retreating steadily. At this moment, they had been captured by the volunteers. The last fleet in the Far East had long been destroyed.
Don't expect diplomatic mediation. Now that Europe is raging at war, who has the time to care about the life and death of your more than 10,000 defeated troops?
…
Continuous psychological warfare is more terrifying than hot war, and the morale of the military is completely shattered by a series of irrefutable facts. But the more evil thing is yet to come. Since you Chinese people say that we will definitely lose, then attack! We, the warriors of Tsarist Russia, can also have a good time, but why don't you fight decisively and why are you surrounding us so tightly?
There were only a few suicide breakouts organized by Tsarist Russia, but they were not successful. As for the Chinese army, there was not even a single attack in more than a month.
Continuously shouting without attacking is like pushing a condemned prisoner to the execution ground with his head on the guillotine, but the butcher's knife refuses to fall again and again, just to scare people.
"Pervert! You Chinese are all perverts! You are so offensive! Do it to me, grandpa..." At the beginning, the fortification was full of such curses, but within a few days, the curses became quieter and quieter. Because they found that the food in the fortifications had bottomed out.
If you don't have food, you will starve to death. The sluggish morale is rising again due to the stimulation of food. Axon originally lost his authority because of Chinese propaganda. Once he entered, he could not command the army, but it was because of hunger. Only then did he get pulled out by the soldiers again.
Aikeson was also prepared to die. He wanted to lead these remaining soldiers in the final decisive battle. Life or death depended on this hammer deal. It was better to die in battle than to die of starvation.
Unexpectedly, when the army was mobilized before the battle, the Chinese on the opposite side actually started to take action. Sima Yun, the left-behind officer, brought Nohira Tai and Hyoutarou to the front line in person, and actually sent a ton to these Russian troops. Lots of snow-white rice!
"Russian troops on the mountain, listen up. God is kind to you, and we, the Prime Minister, are not willing to kill them all... Aren't you going to surrender? Don't you still have illusions? Then just wait a few days and wait until the Far East is completely defeated. How about you surrender after the news comes..."
"There is no need to fight for the time being. I will give you some food to get through this period of time... We are all born and raised by our parents. Why die for a battle that is bound to be lost? Don't shoot. Our soldiers will send rice to the center of the battlefield. go……"
