After Masajiro Omura took over, he inherited almost everything Saigo left behind, including the experience that Saigo exchanged for blood and tears, and the mistakes Saigo made. Both Saigo Takamori and Nori Akiki thought that as long as the barbed wire fence was secured, the Japanese could rush to the Manchurian positions and start hand-to-hand combat with the Manchurians, and Omura Masajiro thought so.

Goxinga's golden finger has always been extraordinary, he was a professional before he crossed over, and because he had read a lot of research materials, he even knew more about trench warfare than the British and German soldiers who fought in World War I. As Guo Xing'a's proud protégé, Li Zhenhe and others of course also did it completely in accordance with the methods of the generals. And because Manchuria Lu University has a college specializing in the study of ancient formations, all the deployments made by the Manchurian Army contain a large number of ancient Chinese formations, and the Japanese will never want to figure out this thing of innate gossip for the rest of their lives.

The trenches of the Manchurian Army can be roughly divided into six lines of defense. The first line the Japanese encountered was barbed wire, and in addition to a few electrified barbed wire, their main role was to delay the Japanese army and provide more room for machine guns to play. If the Japanese could pass through the barbed wire, they would encounter a second line of formations and traps. Tokyo Bay has port facilities that were originally repaired by the Japanese, but it is not a beach, which gives Manchuria the opportunity to lay out* and dig in. These minefields and traps were all learned from the ancient formations, and the Japanese could easily spot and dodge them, and then crash into the guns of the Manchurian army. The mystery of the ancient formation is here, either step on * or sink into it, or crash headlong into the fire net, the Japanese have no other choice.

If the Japanese were gifted enough to pass two levels in a row, they would have been able to meet the real trenches, the positions of the Manchurian Army that they had seen through their binoculars. But this trench is not just a trench as they see and imagine, but a very complex system. It can be roughly divided into front-line trenches, support trenches, reserve trenches, and finally artillery positions. The walls of the trenches were reinforced with iron planks or sandbags, wooden planks were laid on the ground to prevent mud, and Goxinga also learned the lessons of the First World War and installed a good drainage system inside. The trenches were equipped with dormitories, command posts, machine-gun strongholds, makeshift hospitals, toilets, and even a rudimentary mourning hall for the fallen soldiers.

The front-line trenches are all right-angled trenches, and the trenches cannot be dug in a straight line, because the long and narrow tunnels will make the shells more destructive. At the same time, if the enemy's forward soldiers jump into the trench, the bullets can sweep the entire trench freely. Therefore, during World War I, the British built the trenches into curves and dug deeper and deeper, but in the face of shelling, they still could not effectively block the shock wave from recklessly collecting people in the trenches. And the Germans dug the trench at a standard 90-degree right angle, which could effectively curb the spread of the shock wave of the shells. Guo Xinga took the essence and also ordered the Manchurian army to dig all the trenches at right angles to prevent the enemy's shelling. And because the Manchurian Army introduced the ancient Chinese formation, the trenches were also made into an intricate labyrinth of trenches.

The Manchurian Army set up a large number of machine-gun positions in the front-line trenches and support trenches, because the machine guns were the focus of the entire trench defense system, and before the appearance of tanks, the charge relying on flesh and blood was absolutely deadly. The enemy will definitely see the machine gun as a thorn in the side, so the machine gun position needs to be extra reinforced, and the machine gun team also needs to constantly carry the machine gun to adjust the deployment. In addition to these machine-gun positions, the Manchurian Army, drawing on their combat experience in the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, set up permanent bunkers on the high ground between the various trenches. Now that Guoxinga is wealthy, the Manchurian Army naturally does not engage in any brick and mud structures, and all the reinforced concrete and artillery of less than 150 mm caliber are all mosquitoes.

In addition to these, the Manchurian Army also has a last resort, once this whole system is completely broken by the Japanese army, they also have an ultimate big move. Mustard gas is such a thing, and hundreds of projects have already been made, but Guo Xing'a has always had scruples and was reluctant to use it. To Japan, Guo Xing'a has nothing to be polite to, and he is willing to throw it away. Therefore, once the position is lost, the Manchurian army will detonate the poison gas bombs stored in the rear after retreating, poisoning the Japanese troops who have attacked the position, and then reoccupy the position.

If Masajiro Omura had known about these preparations on the other side, he would not have taken over such a mess. But out of consideration for squeezing out Saigo Takamori, Masajiro Omura still came. Moreover, in the heart of Omura Masajiro, he did not feel that the Manchurian Army was invincible, even if the Manchurian Army was equipped with advanced equipment, their number was not many after all, and the Japanese army had an absolute superiority in strength, even if it used a lot of people, it could take down the position.

Japan lacked an understanding person at this time, and their choice of fighting to the death to the end was commendable, but their choice was even worse than that of the Qing Dynasty during the Second Opium War. Just like the truth of Guoxing's education in Yixin, Japan, which has lost all its coastal defenses, will not be able to win the war even if it is invincible at home, and North Manchuria, which advances and retreats at will, is already invincible, and the most important thing the Japanese should do is to seek peace. However, the Meiji government had a kind of grievance, so that they had no consideration for peace talks, and they felt that they were being bullied by Northern Manchuria. In the eyes of the Meiji government, they bullied the Ryukyus and the Qing Dynasty, and the injustice of Northern Manchukuo was completely nosy, so they were very aggrieved. The Meiji government, which felt that it had been bullied, of course refused to bend its knees and sue for peace, and they must resist to the end and make the bullied North Manchu pay the price.

After all the preparations were completed, Masajiro Omura gave the order to attack, and the Japanese army concentrated 50,000 troops and launched a fierce attack. The input of a large number of iron plates gave the Japanese army a cover during the march, the casualties plummeted, and the morale of the Japanese army was greatly boosted. However, the heavy iron plate also slowed down the Japanese army's march, and the number of bullets killed and wounded was reduced, but the damage caused by the shelling increased significantly. Fortunately, the front-line soldiers are more afraid of bullets, so even though more people are blown up, they still feel much better than before.

When the Japanese brigade advanced near the barbed wire, it stopped and began to shoot at the Manchurians across the barbed wire from behind the bomb avoidance. No matter how good the Japanese army's bullet shelter plate was, it could not be compared with the trenches of the Manchurian Army, and the Japanese army's marksmanship and firepower were far inferior to the Manchurian army, so the Japanese casualties began to rise sharply. When the Japanese army stopped here, they were not ready to fight the Manchurian army here, they were trying to dismantle the barbed wire, at least to open a passage to advance. There is no such high-tech equipment as iron tongs in Japan, after all, there is no need for it! So the Japanese army got some things that they could get, such as axes for splitting wood, cutting people*, and using them to chop and destroy barbed wire. The equipment was not matched, and the speed of dismantling the barbed wire fence was naturally slow, and the casualties of the Japanese army continued to rise, but Masajiro Omura in the rear did not feel anything, and his current situation was much better than Saigo's first attack.

"*The transmitter can be used as soon as it is needed, so help the Japanese! Save them so tired of dismantling! Li Zhenhe looked at the Japanese soldiers in the rain of bullets and gave an order to help.

The perimeter of the barbed wire fence was all within the range of the Manchurian Army's * launchers, but the Manchurian Army never used this second kick because they were afraid that the bullet impact point would be too close and destroy the barbed wire. Now that the Japanese army has begun to destroy the barbed wire, and there are many people who come this time, the loss of barbed wire is enough, so naturally there is no need to be cautious. The * launchers of the front-line trenches and support trenches all came up, and the Japanese troops squatting behind the bomb shelter plates were unlucky.

The bullet shield can block some rifle bullets, but heavy chicken gun bullets depend on luck, and it is even more ineffective in the face of rules falling from the sky. The Japanese troops who were squatting at the front were all donated by the rumbling explosions, and even the second-line troops hidden in the slightly lower positions were also attacked, and the dispersal of anti-wound fragments was very wide. The Manchurian army lost the barbed wire at the forefront of their line, and the Japanese army lost more than 4,000 people to enter it, although there were not many killed, but more than 3,000 wounded who were destined to be crippled might as well die without worry.

Masajiro Omura didn't care about casualties, it was normal to have more casualties in a battle with a strong enemy like the Manchurian Army, as long as he could win. Saigo also lost his troops and generals, but he didn't even touch the hair of the Manchurians, and he didn't have as many people as Saigo, so he had already taken part of the barbed wire, which was a victory, so Omura Masajiro urged the troops to continue to advance. The order was to go down, but the troops on the front line did not move, they were still shooting at the Manchurian army, but they refused to get close to the barbed wire.

The Meiji government had just been established, and the spirit of bushido, which had been blown by later generations, had not yet been popularized, and although the soldiers also had some loyal and patriotic thoughts, they still had to think about it knowing that it was a matter of death. They could see clearly how their predecessors had become bloody people. Even if there are a few people who don't understand, there is a bloody person lying on the edge of the barbed wire that has not rescued the bloody people rolling on the ground, and you can know it at a glance. Wouldn't it be to let them go to death if they get close to the barbed wire fence now! Masajiro Omura could casually say that the Manchurians had to be killed in the heap, but as part of the heap, the soldiers did not agree with this statement, and they were happy to be loyal to the emperor, but they did not want to be piled up.

Masajiro Omura urged again and again, and sent officers with close associates to supervise the battle, and finally escorted these trembling people up. Then it was another overwhelming meal*, Li Zhenhe didn't feel sorry for the barbed wire fence at all, what he had was the inventory of that thing, and he repelled the Japanese army and laid it again, and there were not many opportunities to mass-kill the Japanese army's vital forces, so he must cherish it. The casualties of the Japanese army, which were only in front of the barbed wire, suddenly rose from more than 4,000 to more than 7,000, and the number of wounded increased. However, Masajiro Omura had a greater success, and the barbed wire of the Manchurian army was weakened by him.
