The inside of the toilet was smeared with feces, and it quickly turned into a dry black mark in the heat.

A large black hole appeared in the toilet wall, and if a living person looked out from inside, the brilliant flames outside lapped the neat queue, like the traffic of the highway under the night sky of the 21st century. In addition to the fact that each flame represents the death and killing of the god of war, when the rocket launcher flies harmlessly in the air, it has a gorgeous sense of peace.

However, the combat part of the rocket artillery was equipped with explosive shells, and the high temperature of the violent explosion instantly shattered the inside of the toilet, and the walls leading to the other parts of the toilet were blown up, and the part of the wall leading to the corridor turned into countless pieces, killing the people outside in an instant. So there's no human activity here. In addition to the distinctive and high-pitched whooshing sound of the rocket launcher coming from outside, there was only the loud noise and impact of the rocket launcher when it landed.

After a long while, there was a sound of running, "Your Excellency! Excellency! "Someone shouted and ran over.

Of course, the Japanese troops in the Lushun fortress did not think that the Chinese army would not attack Lushun, and for more than a year, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army had been making various preparations around Lushun, and the Japanese army had been observing. The withdrawal of the Chinese in Lushun is another unmistakable signal.

The best means of defense in a war is to attack, and after taking the initiative to destroy the attacking enemy, there is no pressure on the defense. Despite the comparison, Japan has a strong offensive spirit. For example, there is a type of question in the officer's interview, and the examiner will ask, "What should I do if the enemy is suddenly spotted on the other side?" "If it is in a unit like the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, which is full of offensive spirit, the answer is generally to immediately conceal it, send out reconnaissance troops, and prepare for battle at the same time. In the Japanese army, such an answer would definitely give a bad review. The standard answer is, encircle and annihilate the enemy at once! If there are more serious Japanese soldiers, they dare to ask, "Under what circumstances did you find the enemy?" Then the future of this Japanese soldier must be bleak.

However, in the final analysis, the Japanese troops in Arthur did not actually implement this "spirit of bravery" at all, not only did they not have the spirit of bravery, but the order of the Japanese defenders was to strictly defend the fortress to guard against a sneak attack by the Chinese army. The cruel facts and data show one thing to the Japanese army, three divisions have already been killed in the field battle with the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and once the three divisions of Lushun bravely break away from the fortress, the result will definitely not be good.

On the 26th, the Japanese arrived and did not find anything special. The so-called "nothing special" refers to the fact that the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army is still in that posture of being ready to fight at any time. There was a lot of debate on the part of the Japanese army about whether war would break out on the 27th, and the conclusion was that "caution is the best".

The first level of combat readiness continues to be maintained, and officers at all levels must be on duty. The commander of the fortress, Major General Nobuyuki Abe, was an artillery professional and served as the commander of several fortresses. He adhered to the attitude of carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years, and personally led the team to inspect it at midnight, since the commanders of the fortress were so serious, according to the tradition of the Japanese army, it was naturally impossible for the three division commanders to lie in their dormitories and sleep soundly.

The soldiers had long known that the Supreme Commander was coming to patrol the camp, and when they saw that the generals really did not sleep at 11 o'clock in the evening, but appeared in the first-line garrison, the soldiers and officers were extremely moved. One by one, they stood up straight and greeted the commander's inspection with the best appearance. Major General Abe walked solemnly in the long military passage, his leather boots on the ground, making a rather majestic thumping sound. The generals and officers in the back were also in military order, and they followed behind the commander without saying a word. Doing such a thing in the middle of the night, there is a creepy and awesome sense of eeriness in the killing.

At the end of September, the weather cooled up, and the night breeze was even a little cooler. After walking through multiple gun emplacements, Major General Abe finally made a suggestion as if he wanted to prove that he was a flesh-and-blood living man, "Let's go pee." ”

Before leaving, everyone drank tea to refresh themselves, but after walking so much at this time, they also came to urine. The toilet must not be built in the center of the fortress, and if the drainage and ventilation are not smooth, the smell alone can smoke people to death. Even though the windows are not large and difficult to climb from the outside, the toilets have windows.

According to the custom of the Japanese army, the commander urinated, and there were people standing guard in the window outside. The sentry looked at the fireworks flying in the sky, and didn't even know what it was. It was a splendid sight that looked like a fireworks festival in Tokyo. However, the trajectory of the fireworks in the air became more and more divergent, and when the fireworks not only did not go out, but swooped towards the ground with a sharp whistling, the Japanese soldiers standing guard outside the toilet wall of the fortress did not think of covering the toilet behind them, but instinctively screamed and hid to the side.

The violent explosions and shock waves made the guard, who had reacted quite agilely, dizzy, and felt as if a large stone had been stuffed into his chest, heavy and muffled. The inside of the nose is a pungent smell of gunsmoke, and the throat is a fishy sweet feeling. I don't know how long it took, the guard's brain finally cleared up a little, he found that he was beginning to be swallowed by numbness, and subconsciously tried to get up with his arms on the ground, but found that his arms were supporting the ground, but he couldn't feel the existence of his arms at all.

The shock stimulated the nerves, and the guards instinctively looked left and right, trying to find someone who could help them. What caught his eye was a large black hole in the wall outside the toilet, and smoke was billowing out from the inside. "Could it be that something happened to the general? I can't explain it! The thought immediately crossed the guard's mind, and the thought sparked excitement, and the shareholder, who had been holding his mouth shut up, squirted out in a liquid state. In the agony of suffocation caused by the blood blocking their throats, the guards' vision was quickly swallowed up by darkness.

Later war history records that a shell during the rocket artillery covered fire hit the commanders of the Japanese Lushun Fortress who were in the toilet, killing two generals including the commander of the fortress garrison, two large sa, and the following day, another general and a Japanese Nakasa died of wounds. The Arthur command of the Japanese army was dealt a devastating blow.

This is a bonus, the accuracy of the orbital rocket launcher is very poor, and the shooting error is about 100 meters. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not think about any decapitation tactics at all, but wanted to shoot with rocket artillery covering. With such a large level of error, the accurate destruction of the Japanese army's firepower points is a kind of grass and rabbit, and the primary target is the minefield laid by the Japanese army outside the fortress.

The Japanese army learned from the Russian army and laid a wide minefield outside the fortress, and whether the rockets could penetrate the thick fortress protective wall was still a matter of ambiguity, but it was an extremely effective tool to destroy mines. And the combat units that the Japanese had placed outside the walls of the fortress were devastated. When a rocket hits the ground, it turns into a sea of fire within a dozen meters around, and the huge shock wave is also terrifyingly lethal. The Japanese troops inside the fortress had a protective wall, and a large part of the Japanese troops outside the fortress were not killed, but shocked. The Japanese soldiers were intact in their skin, just huddled quietly in the trenches, with blood marks on their mouths and noses. Other than that, it's like falling asleep. After the battle, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army conducted autopsies on many Japanese corpses and obtained considerable data.

In the violent explosion, the sirens in the Japanese fortress sounded violently, and the various units woke up from their sleep, and in the frantic shouts of the officers, the Japanese soldiers grabbed their weapons and rushed to their posts. The violent shaking made the Japanese feel like they were on a boat, and the cracks in the masonry of the fortress fell out of the earth, and the unlucky Japanese fire point was directly hit by rocket shells, shrapnel, flames and debris blew in like a storm from the front of the blast, tearing everyone inside to pieces.

Devastating artillery fire exploded in uncertain places, as if the end of the world had fallen. However, the more than 20 minutes of earth-shaking artillery bombardment was as rapid as it began, and there was no continuous firepower, but it came to an abrupt end.

The Japanese soldiers couldn't see the situation outside clearly in the dark night, they smelled the pungent gunpowder smoke one by one, looked at the dark outside, and looked a little dazed and at a loss. The fortress said that there was going to be a war every day, and it was a good year, and the nerves of the Japanese army were almost numb. When war came, they were not relieved, but puzzled.

Soon, the artillery of the Arthur fortress began to return fire, and although the exact location of the artillery positions of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was not known, the Japanese artillery still began to fire with their lives. Being seized by the enemy, what remains to do is not to wait, but to counterattack. However, with a black eye, you can only retaliate and fight back.

In the darkness of the night, the Japanese officers and soldiers opened their eyes wide and stared at the night that could not be seen through outside.

The defeat of the commander of the enemy's fortress was a complete accident, and the artillery units of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army quickly put away their gun mounts, and the cars immediately shifted their positions.

In the general headquarters, the two commanders, Mu Husan and Mi Feng, discussed the next step of the battle. Mu Husan is good at frontal combat, and it is his forte to surround and annihilate the enemy with upright soldiers. Mi Feng is another characteristic, he is very good at fighting seemingly dangerous battles. The main problem in attacking the Arthur fortress was the Japanese cooperation by sea and land, and the maximum caliber artillery of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was only 155, and the fortress guns of more than 200 caliber were still in the Qingdao fortress. A frontal battle is bound to be a brutal siege war, and once such a siege war enters the stage of a full-scale attack, the threat to one's own people with very poor accuracy rocket artillery may be greater than that of the enemy.

Mu Husan knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to formulate a battle plan like Mi Feng, and he couldn't help but say, "Commander Mi, this is a one-shot deal. ”

"It's already so dangerous anyway, how dangerous can it be to fight like this?" Mi Feng really wanted to open it, "Order the special bomb to be ready to launch!" ”

This is the biggest difference between Mi Feng and Mu Husan, Mi Feng believes that after the first round of covering shooting, the Japanese troops that have not been destroyed should now be in the firing point. This is the best time for gas bombs to exert their power.

Mu Husan knew that he would never dare to use this as the fulcrum of the battle command just because he believed in this, but Mi Feng dared. He not only dared, but also really formulated siege tactics with this as the core. But after thinking about it, Mu Husan was relieved. If it was Mu Husan's command, the battle would have been nothing more than a normal offensive tactic. And the second half of the campaign progress formulated by Mi Feng is also exactly the same positive offensive method. Mi Feng just played a little trick at the beginning of the campaign. If the trick is not successful, the battle that follows will still be bloody and cruel. If the trick had been successful, the rest of the battle would have been very different.

It's really a matter of personality! Mu Husan suddenly felt that he could understand why Chen Ke wanted Mi Feng, who was less senior, to be the commander of the campaign. If in the eyes of others, there are many twists and turns, for example, I am afraid that Mu Husan will have to bear too much responsibility if he fails, so let Mi Feng come to the top of the cylinder. Or they want to raise more people to achieve balance in the army. In general, there are many explanations that focus on conspiracy.

However, in Mu Husan's view, Mi Feng's biggest advantage is that he knows how to attack tactics while having a way of adapting measures to local conditions. If such a person were a front-line commander, it would be quite difficult to deal with.

The development of the war proved that Mi Feng was right, and it took more than an hour to prepare the artillery again, replaced it with special ammunition and began firing at 3:15. It was still the scene of the fire dragon soaring, and it was still a full-coverage shooting, and this time it was no longer the explosive part of the shell that fell to the ground, but the cylinders one by one, and the cylinders began to spit out a large amount of gas after they landed.

In the pre-dawn darkness, the Japanese could not see what was really going on outside. The shelling, which had ended more than an hour earlier, still filled the air with the strong smell of gunpowder and all sorts of pungent burnt smells. The rocket artillery covered fire literally coped with the task, and every inch of the entire fortress was subjected to the baptism of explosions, at least a strong shock wave.

The Lushun fortress was built on the mountain, many passages were underground, and the ground had been ravaged by the powerful fire of rocket artillery, and the information on the loss of the fortress had been counted at this time. All positions that did not have semi-permanent fortifications were devastated. Many of the ventilation holes under the ground were blocked by the large amount of earth that had been blown up. The Japanese did not yet know that the command had been devastated while going to the toilet. The mid-level commanders ordered someone to report the situation, and at the same time urgently ordered the ventilation openings to be unblocked, and at the same time the ventilators were turned on for ventilation.

Around this time, the second batch of poison gas shells from the shelling arrived at the Japanese positions. This is phosgene, which the Germans used in the First World War and have quite experience with it.

The Japanese defenders in Lushun did not notice the use of poison gas bombs by the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army at first, and it was the first time that all Japanese troops had seen such an overwhelming artillery bombardment, and they had not yet recovered from such an impact. The smell of phosgene mixed with the smoke of gunpowder did not seem so weird, and it was not even detected at all. As for chest tightness and cough, it may not necessarily be a symptom that can only occur due to inhalation of toxic gas.

By the time the Japanese discovered that the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army had used poison gas bombs, it was already 3:50.
