Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he leaned towards the Tiger Mountain to "boom boom", "a deafening explosion of cannonballs sounded in the city, and the entire city of Arthur began to tremble slightly with the explosion of cannonballs. Immediately after, flying dust and bricks, like rain, fell from the roof one after another, smashing on everyone in the war room, and for a while, the entire command headquarters was immediately shrouded in thick smoke and dust, "cough cough cough," a coughing sound sounded, and the entire command headquarters fell into a brief chaos in just a moment. However, "Lieutenant General Nakayama, as the commander of the division, was escorted by his side to the underground headquarters not far away at the first time, and continued to command the troops to fight."

Located in the underground headquarters, under the illumination of a headlamp, standing in front of the huge military map, looking at the city defense map in front of him, feeling the ground trembling slightly, Lieutenant General Nakayama's face can be said to be difficult to see. Because he did not expect that the Northeast Field Army, which has always been known for its benevolence, would use powerful large-caliber coastal defense artillery to shell Arthur City, where a large number of civilians lived.

You must know that Lushun City, which is densely populated and does not have a particularly large area, will be what will happen to the entire county seat, including the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the county, after being violently shelled by more than a dozen coastal defense guns in front of it. You don't have to think about it, you can know it clearly. After all, "the front-line positions outside the city that have been bombed into ruins by these coastal defense artillery have clearly explained to everyone the specific power of the coastal defense artillery in the hands of the Northeast Field Army."

"Yaga, how can this be. How could the Northeast Field Army open fire on Lushun City, did they really not care about the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city? After a short period of contemplation, listening to the constant roaring explosions coming from the ground, Lieutenant General Nakayama asked the chief of staff beside him with an incredulous expression.

And until this moment, the constant explosion of shells on the ground, the screams of soldiers, were heard. The chief of staff of the division and regiment finally understood that after discussing with the commander of the division in front of him, the seemingly foolproof battle plan contained a very huge loophole in it. And this huge loophole "is the reason why the Northeast Field Army outside the city dared to use large-caliber coastal defense artillery against Arthur City, where a large number of civilians lived."

The specific reason for not being afraid of being hatted as a massacre of civilians ......,

Thinking of this, beads of sweat the size of beans immediately appeared on the forehead of the chief of staff. Then, he said to the division commander beside him with a panicked expression.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please complain about the stupidity of our duties, in the whole battle plan, we seem to have overlooked a very important matter. And it was this incident that caused the Northeast Field Army outside the city to dare to risk being put on the hat of slaughtering civilians and use large-caliber coastal defense artillery on the entire Arthur City,...... "Nani, what is the matter, say" Listening to the answer of the chief of staff in front of him, Lieutenant General Zhongshan's eyelids jumped suddenly, and then, staring at the chief of staff in front of him with a pair of red eyes, he asked.

"Hayi, there are indeed hundreds of thousands of civilians in the entire city of Lushun. However, among these hundreds of thousands of civilians, there are less than 5,000 Chinese. What's more important is that almost all of these 5,000 Chinese people are serving our great Japanese empire, and in the eyes of the Northeast Field Army outside the city, these 5,000 Chinese people are "what they call Han Jiān............"

"For the expatriates of the Great Japanese Empire in the city, as well as the Han Jiān in their mouths, our opponents, the Northeast Field Army," there is no need to pay any attention to any mercy. After all, the common people of China who died at the hands of the imperial army of our empire on the entire road to invade China can be said to be countless. And today's shelling is only a small act of revenge for the people of China......," replied the chief of staff in a whisper.

"Nani, Han Jiān" is a diaspora of the Great Japanese Empire, an act of revenge...... Eight Geyalu, how can this be," For a while, Lieutenant General Zhongshan in front of him opened his mouth as if he had received a huge blow, wanting to speak, but he couldn't say a word. ultimately

He froze in place with a stunned face, motionless......

In this way, the huge underground headquarters was stunned by the division commander, Lieutenant General Nakayama, and there was silence for several minutes. In the end, it was the chief of staff who broke this silence,

First of all, I spoke.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, what should we do when we come to Ping1" "What should we do? "Lieutenant General Nakayama, who reacted from the shock, couldn't help but ask rhetorically," he said after a short period of thought. "Chief of Staff, at the moment, the shelling of the Northeast Field Army continues, and even if we want to contact the troops in the city, it is impossible. Therefore, everything must be carried out only after the shelling of the Northeast Field Army has stopped. Immediately send a telegram to the Kwantung Army Command, "Ask how long it will take for our air reinforcements to arrive." In addition, the warships of our army that stayed at the mouth of Arthur were ordered to "immediately open fire, attract the fire of the coastal defense artillery of the Northeast Field Army, and provide our infantry with a short time to assemble......","",""

"Ha Yi, I will immediately go and give the order...... ",......"

Dozens of minutes later, with the arrival of air reinforcements from the Kwantung Army, coupled with the addition of the artillery of the Port Arthur and the field heavy artillery wing, the battle was fired. The shore defense artillery battalion that is constantly pouring shells on Arthur"

Immediately, under Liu Hua's order, he shifted the target and fired back at the Japanese warships and the field heavy artillery wing that stayed at the mouth of Arthur.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, this is the specific loss caused to our army by the Northeast Field Army in the fifteen-minute artillery bombardment of Arthur City......

"Nian ......," Lieutenant General Nakayama ordered.

"Hayi, after statistics, in this fifteen-minute artillery bombardment, 3,218 soldiers were directly killed by the Kwantung Army of our empire, 679 were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness, and so far, there are less than 15,000 soldiers in the entire Lushun City. In addition, "fifteen minutes of shelling caused at least 10,000 casualties to the expatriates in the city," replied the chief of staff.

"Yaga" clenched his fists and stared at a pair of angry eyes.

The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Nakayama, roared loudly at the chief of staff in front of him.

"Ha Yi ............"

Facing the roar of your immediate boss. At this moment, what the chief of staff can do is to close his mouth and silently endure the anger of the division commander in front of him. A few minutes later," the anger of the division commander in front of him slowly dissipated, and the chief of staff spoke.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the coastal defense artillery firepower in the hands of the Northeast Field Army at present" has been successfully attracted by the counterattack of our naval artillery and the field heavy artillery wing. However, "according to the report of the artillery wing, because the difference in firepower between the enemy and us is too great, all, in the whole process of firing, our artillery fire can hold out for a maximum of an hour" will be completely defeated. ”

"In addition, according to the latest news from air reinforcements. Because the Northeast Field Army outside the city had a large amount of anti-aircraft fire deployed on artillery positions. A group of bombers had to retreat "after losing almost half of its combat aircraft during the bombing." ”

"Eight Grid Yalu," as soon as the chief of staff's voice fell, another angry scolding roared out from the mouth of Lieutenant General Nakayama, the commander of the division in front of him.

After a short silence, Lieutenant General Nakayama stared at the battle map in front of him and ordered decisively.

"Operational staff officer, immediately mark the specific deployment of the Northeast Field Army detected by air reinforcements outside the city on the map in front of you without missing a bit, and ...... quickly."

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Division Commander", "Looking at the division commander with an angry face in front of him, the combat staff officer did not dare to slack off. Quickly took out a few battle reports and began to get busy quickly.

Looking at the combat staff officer in front of him, who began to get busy quickly, "Lieutenant General Nakayama's face was also the first time" lù showed a hint of decisiveness. Then," he said to the chief of staff in front of him with a resolute face.

"Chief of Staff, in less than fifteen minutes of bombardment, almost 4,000 elite Imperial Army warriors" were lost in Arthur City. As the most elite unit of the Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Empire, the most elite samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, even if they die, they must die on the battlefield, and they must not die in the enemy's artillery fire so inexplicably...... Do you see what I mean? ”

"Ha Yi ......," the chief of staff replied affirmatively.

However, after a short thought, the chief of staff's face immediately showed a hint of worry. Then, facing the division commander in front of him, Lieutenant General Nakayama, he asked rhetorically.

"However, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I would like to appeal to you for your humble words. If nothing else, the Northeast Field Army outside the city "must have arranged a huge pocket formation for us in front of their shore defense artillery position, just waiting for us to drill, can you really bear to let more than 10,000 elite Imperial Army soldiers" go out of the city to die? ”，

"Yaga" heard the rhetorical question of the chief of staff in front of him, "Lieutenant General Nakayama's face was immediately enveloped in a burst of anger. Then, he replied very decisively.

"As I have just said, as the most elite soldiers of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, we must not die under the enemy's fire. Even if you die, you have to die on the way to the charge, you haven't understood what I mean, in order for us to die a glorious death, there is a trap outside the city, and we must also launch a counter-charge. Because at this moment, we "have no other way to choose......

"Ha Yi, the chief of staff has given an order to all the well combat troops in the city to "assemble at once and be ready to attack at any time......" the chief of staff replied with a bowed head.

"Yo Xi ......",

Although, in the face of the chief of staff's answer, Lieutenant General Nakayama, as the commander of the division, had a very satisfied smile on his face. However, in his heart, it was extremely painful. Because at this moment, he finally understood an idiom in China, that is, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains.

At the same time, I also personally felt what kind of feeling "in my heart" would be after this kind of thing happened to me............

Thinking of this, "Looking at the fast-departing chief of staff, Lieutenant General Nakayama's face immediately appeared with a wry smile. Then, unconsciously, he "shifted his gaze to his lieutenant general's command knife on the table in front of him." Of course, at this moment, he "also made an important decision for the first time in his heart, that is.

"As the lieutenant general and division commander of the entire division, even if you die on the battlefield, you have to die with your own troops............"

Dozens of kilometers away from Lushun City, in the front of the enemy headquarters in the winter night, the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua, was frowning his brows, holding a telescope, looking at the ongoing artillery battle between the enemy and us not far away.

At this moment, Su Yu hurriedly walked in and said: "Commander-in-chief, the commander of the coastal defense artillery battalion Luo reports that because of the counterattack of the Japanese naval artillery and the field heavy artillery wing. The shore defense artillery battalion has shifted the target of the artillery bombardment "and began to concentrate artillery fire and carry out a counterattack on the Japanese artillery units." In a short period of time, a new round of shelling of Arthur cannot be launched......"

"Yes, give an order to Battalion Commander Luo. You must concentrate your artillery fire on me and leave all the old warships of the Japanese naval fleet at the mouth of Arthur in Lushun. 2, "Putting down the telescope in his hand, Liu Hua ordered very decisively.

"Yes" Commander-in-Chief. It's just that "our artillery attack on Arthur City only lasted less than fifteen minutes, and I don't know if our opponent will take the initiative to go out of the city" to launch a counterattack against us,...... Su Yu replied.

"Commander Su", don't worry. As long as our adversary is a true giant, after learning that sooner or later our naval guns will blow up the whole of Arthur to ruins. He will definitely take the initiative to attack, because, as a real soldier, "even if he dies in battle, he will die on the way to charge, especially the little devil who believes in the spirit of bushido" is worried about Su Yu

Liu Hua replied confidently.

"Commander-in-chief, according to what you said, the little devil is now, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and he is biased towards the tiger mountain, ah...... Well, in that case, I immediately ordered the lurking troops to prepare for battle. As long as the little devils in the city attack, our lurking troops "will definitely let them come and go............" Su Yu replied with a smile on his face.

Looking at the face of Commander Su Yu in front of him, at the first moment, he regained his self-confidence.

Liu Hua continued to order: "Wait a minute, and then give the battle order to the hidden troops." A telegram was sent to the first armored infantry regiment at the forefront, ordering a regiment of troops "if the enemy takes the initiative to attack" to block the attack step by step, and introduce the Japanese troops out of the city into the ambush circle prepared by our army for the little devil attack troops, so that if one of his regiments can be eaten by the Japanese attack troops, do not hesitate to destroy them all............ Yes, the General Director's "......" In the underground headquarters of the Japanese army in Lushun City, all the troops of the army today, all the directly subordinate officers above the rank of junior savior, all stood in front of Lieutenant General Zhongshan, waiting for the lecture of the division commander in front of him.

"Report to Your Excellency the division commander, all the officers above the junior commander of the whole army have arrived, please ask the division commander to instruct" After a quick glance at the dozens of officers in front of him, the chief of staff replied decisively. "Yo Xi, warriors, you are all the best officers of the Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Empire, and through the shelling just now, I believe that everyone has been very clear in their hearts. Our opponents have an artillery force that is strong enough to destroy an entire city. So, here, I would say, rather than stay inside the city and die under enemy shelling. It's better to die on the way to the charge. Therefore, "I have decided to personally take you and all the remaining combatable soldiers in the entire city of Arthur to go out of the city immediately and take the initiative to launch a counterattack against the Northeast Field Army outside the city," Lieutenant General Nakayama ordered with a resolute face.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Great Japanese Empire," Lieutenant General Nakayama had just finished speaking, and dozens of officers, under the leadership of the chief of staff, clenched their fists and shouted a slogan that shook the sky.

"Very good" You deserve to be the most elite Imperial soldiers of our Great Japanese Empire. Now I order, "Put on your troops, assemble at once at the north gate, and prepare for the attack." Half a small

In the future, "I will lead the division guard squadron to the northeast and direct the entire counterattack battle."

Looking at the red-faced and high-morale officer in front of him. Lieutenant General Nakayama nodded with satisfaction, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. Then, facing the officers in front of him, he ordered very decisively.

"Ha Yi ......"

In the headquarters of the Northeast Field Army outside the city, although the roaring sound of shell explosions "has always surrounded Liu Hua's ears." However, Liu Hua's heart had already been placed on the Japanese army in Lushun City.

Just when the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua, was anxiously waiting for the news ahead. Su Yu rushed in with an excited face, and said movingly.

"Commander-in-chief, the little devil is out of town" a whole fifteen-thousand-strong army, and there is also a tank wing with nearly a hundred tanks. If nothing else, this is the entire city of Arthur, all the Japanese garrison troops. It seems that our opponents are ready to fight with us......",...... Well, the little devil has finally taken the bait. Convey my order, all troops, immediately ready for battle.

After arranging for such a long time, "nearly a thousand rounds of shore defense artillery shells were fired, and such a big price was paid" Now, it is finally possible to close the net "Our long-awaited Lushun is about to become our bag" Liu Hua's face immediately appeared with a satisfied smile, and he ordered with a resolute face.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief," Su Yuji replied with a look on his face. Then, under the surprised gaze of a staff officer in the headquarters, he rushed out of the headquarters with an excited face, and rushed over to the battlefield not far away. @。
