readx; China said that the secret negotiations between the two countries in London were only known to a small number of high-level military and political dignitaries, let alone ordinary people, and even most high-level officials and generals did not know, even Liang Xunqin did not know the details of the negotiations in London, as an army general and a professional soldier, the order he received was to conquer Lushun as soon as possible, and as for what kind of political purpose this order represented, it was not within the scope of his consideration. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On 5 September, the Third Army on the Liaodong Peninsula continued to gather its main forces and launched a large-scale attack on Lushun, and in the last few days, the Third Army did not adopt the same means as in previous months, such as slowly advancing and relying on explosives, but adopted the method of large-scale charge operations, and although the casualties of the troops were heavy in a short period of time, the speed of advance was extremely fast.

As a matter of fact, Liang Xunqin's Third Army had already begun preparations for a general offensive against Lushun in late August, and the Third Army had already begun to concentrate on the troops deployed in Yingkou and other outer lines to the Lushun front, thus increasing the number of troops on the Lushun front from more than 30,000 to more than 60,000, and the number was still growing. When the Kwantung earthquake broke out, the Third Army began to launch a large-scale attack on Lushun according to the predetermined plan.

The conscience of heaven and earth, the reason why the general offensive was launched on September 2 has nothing to do with the Kwantung earthquake, this time point has been set in August, the main reason is that after the Korean war was won, Shen Gang began to transfer troops into North Korea to reinforce the Third Army, and the time when the troops arrived was the beginning of September These days, the reason why the time of the general offensive and the Kwantung earthquake rushed together, it was purely a coincidence.

Whether it is a coincidence or not, the general attack of the Chinese Third Army on Lushun has already been launched, and the subordinate forces of the Third Army, which have received a large number of reinforcements, have already exceeded the beginning of the war, and the Third Army launched its first large-scale attack on Lushun with the three divisions of the Third Division, the Fifth Division, and the Thirty-sixth Division as the first attack wave.

The narrow front was full of attacking Chinese soldiers, and when these front-line infantry attacked, there were many artillery pieces in the rear to provide support, and a considerable part of these guns were large-caliber guns, among which the army received from the navy 210 mm naval guns converted from a number of train guns, in addition to these eight large-caliber train guns, there were also a large number of naval decommissioned naval guns that had been remodeled and mobilized in the past few months, These included more than a dozen seven-inch naval guns removed from the two dismantled former dreadnought battleships, plus some other large-caliber guns to form a heavy artillery group, and in addition to these decommissioned large-caliber naval guns, there were also a large number of army 155-mm howitzers and cannons. And those 75-mm divisional artillery are even more, and the artillery regiments under the divisions alone add up to several hundred 75-mm guns.

In fact, the Lushun operation was largely centered on artillery warfare, although the infantry did not launch a charge attack in the past few months, but the artillery has not stopped, but continued to bomb Lushun, and a large number of shells have been fired out in the past few months, and the air force has also launched large-scale air raids and bombardments in three days, so Lushun is under artillery bombardment and bombardment every day.

After several months of shelling, the Third Army could be considered to have launched a formal offensive, and in the face of turtle shells like the Arthur Fortress, it actually did not use much skill to speak of, except for bombing with shells, digging fortifications and blasting forward, and filling with human lives, there was no so-called tactic to speak of.

Although the Battle of Lushun broke out vigorously, and the number of participants of the Third Army was as high as nearly 100,000, compared with the mobile field battles in the Korean Campaign, the Battle of Lushun was actually quite boring and boring.

The rhythm of the Lushun battle is to unfold little by little, large-scale artillery bombardment is always the center, and the infantry on both sides is around a stronghold for repeated contention, and this repeated contention has brought great casualties to both troops, although the previous artillery battle is fierce, but in fact did not cause too many casualties on both sides, and really wait for the infantry on both sides to do the real guns, the casualties on both sides began to rise in a straight line, in the defender said, "The casualties are smaller, and more than 1,000 casualties were killed and injured after three daysHowever, the number of casualties in China's offensive was as high as more than 3,000, with an average of more than 1,000 casualties per day, and such a huge casualty figure made the 3rd Division, the main attacking force, was forced to withdraw from the offensive sequence and rest after three days of attack.

"Those three divisions also failed too much, they lost so many people in just a few days!" Sergeant Li shook his head, and while sitting in a teahouse in downtown Shenyang, he pulled out a pipe while sticking oil in his mouth.

Although this Sergeant Lee is still wearing the rank of sergeant, but the bronze double sword medal on his left chest is shining, in addition to this bronze double sword medal, there is also a Korean Battle Commemorative Medal, the middle [***] team has always been very strict with the control of the medals, especially after the reunification is extremely strict with the issuance of medals, and in order to avoid excessive and chaotic number of medals, so there are few so-called commemorative medals and various types of medals. At present, there are only bronze, silver and gold medals of double swords in the Chinese army, in addition to the early years of the national army. The Medal of the Double Swords' is already out of print, and only these three are currently issued, of which the Silver Medal of the Double Swords is specially distributed to officers, and the Golden Order of the Double Swords has been obtained by more than 200 people so far, so the vast majority of soldiers have no hope of obtaining, and other soldiers and grassroots officers have the opportunity to obtain only the Bronze Double Sword Medal, and even if it is the Bronze Double Sword Medal, the number is very small, and only six people in the third company where Sergeant Li is located have won the Bronze Double Sword Medal, one is Lieutenant Pei, and the other is Sergeant Li, and the remaining three are posthumously awarded。 In the commemorative medal, there were only three commemorative medals for the Northern Expedition, the Southwest Campaign Commemorative Medal, and the Karachinsk Battle Commemorative Medal, each of which represented a war, and now because of the huge victory of the Korean Campaign, the Korean Campaign Commemorative Medal was also awarded.

So probably after Sergeant Lee flashed these two shiny medals on his chest, it attracted the attention of many people, Sergeant Lee didn't care about the eyes of others at all, speaking of medals, his top boss Lieutenant Pei was even more dazzling, before the Pyongyang operation, Lieutenant Pei became the first batch of medalists in the 13th Regiment to fight in North Korea because of his outstanding combat performance, and he won the Korean Battle Commemorative Medal without accident, and after the armored group conquered Busan, Lieutenant Pei had already won the Silver Double Sword Medal.

"It's not easy to fight in Lushun, it's much harder to fight than Busan!" Lieutenant Pei said: "When we fought Busan, it was said, 'I only had more than 2,000 people, and we were more than 10,000 people attacking, and it took a lot of effort to fight down, and now the army on the Lushun side has 20,000 or 30,000 people, so it is not easy to fight down!'" ”

Sergeant Li still said: "There are so many third soldiers, I estimate that even if it is difficult to fight for ten days and half a month, I can take it down!" ”

"Maybe!" Lieutenant Pei said, then suddenly remembered something, and then took out a notebook from his pocket and began to write: "I almost forgot, the instructor of the training class at the Wuhan Military Academy this time is also my former instructor, I will write you a letter of introduction, and you will have to take care of it when the time comes!" ”

Sergeant Li whispered: "That's good!" Speaking of which, I was lucky to get home this time, and I even got the opportunity to go to military school! ”

According to the relevant system of the Chinese Army, non-commissioned officers and soldiers are allowed to apply for military academies, but the age will be limited to under 25 years old, after all, the maximum age of service for second lieutenants and lieutenants in the Chinese Army is 30 years old, if you go to military schools after the age of 25, you will be 28 years old after graduating in three years, and you will have to be transferred to the reserve after two years of service. Sergeant Li is nearly 30 years old, and he has long passed the age of applying for the military academy, and if he does not apply for the military academy, he cannot be directly promoted to officer, and he is the sergeant major at the top.

In order to motivate non-commissioned officers and soldiers, the army specially opened a special training course in the Army Officer School, specifically recruiting non-commissioned officers and soldiers with outstanding contributions and potential for further study, which can be regarded as a temporary special promotion channel.

Sergeant Li took the letter written to him by Lieutenant Pei, and after receiving it, he said, "Lieutenant, I heard that you are not only coming to attend the training ceremony this time, but also getting promoted?" ”

Lieutenant Pei nodded: "Almost, when I came, the regiment headquarters also said that it was going to be promoted and awarded together, so I came to Shenyang!" ”

Naturally, this is for morale and propaganda purposes, there are hundreds of bronze medals in a Korean campaign, but there are only about 20 officers who can get silver medals, so although Lieutenant Bae was actually awarded the Silver Double Sword Medal when he was in Busan, Shenyang still specially held a collective award ceremony, and in order to expand its influence, it simply put the promotion ceremony of everyone together.

"Silver Double Sword Medal, I'm afraid there aren't many in the whole army!" Sergeant Li is full of envy, although the bronze double sword medal is also difficult to obtain, but it is not difficult to say, now the soldiers on the streets of Shenyang can occasionally see one, but the silver double sword medal is much less, this kind of exclusive officer medal has always been rare, and a batch was awarded during the Russian Civil War in previous years, and few officers can obtain it in peacetime. Now that Lieutenant Pei has received the Silver Double Sword Medal, it can be said that he is even more happy than his promotion to captain.

The medal is not only an honor, but also related to the future of the future, for example, it will also be a captain in the future, but a captain who has won the Silver Double Sword Medal and a captain who has no medal are two different grades, and the commander will definitely consider the medal winner when he is promoted.

After taking another puff of the cigarette butt in his hand, Sergeant Li handed the pipe to Lieutenant Pei: "Lieutenant, it's good to say that we have been working together for almost two years, and we have also been born and died together in North Korea, and now that I am going to Wuhan, you don't know where to transfer to, I guess there will be no chance to fight together in the future!" Now that the separation is imminent, brother, I will sell this pipe to you cheaply, and the price is fifty yuan! ”

Lieutenant Pei looked at the serious Sergeant Li and laughed twice, and scolded with a smile in his mouth: "If you break the pipe, you will be given ten yuan at most!" Don't think I don't know where your pipe comes from! ”

"Go, go, loot, loot, you know?" Sergeant Li said: "The price is fifty, and I won't give a dime less!" ”

Lieutenant Pei took out a stack of banknotes directly from his pocket, then counted out ten one-yuan bills and threw them on the table: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't want it again!" ”

Sergeant Li looked at the money on the table, and without saying a word, he threw down the cigarette butt in his hand, then took the money on the table and counted it, nodding while counting: "Forget it, for the sake of you saving me so many times, I won't care about the dozens of yuan with you!" ”

As soon as he put the money back in his pocket, he flipped it in his hand again, and the gold-plated revolver appeared in his hand: "Lieutenant, don't say I'm not kind, this gun said one hundred and fifty yuan last time, it was all said to be less, and now I want to shout that this gun is turned out from the corpse of a major, even two or three hundred yuan, and some people are rushing to ask for it!" ”

Lieutenant Pei didn't look at it, and continued to drink tea directly, but several people next to him turned their eyes over, and an Air Force captain came over and said, "Is it really from the corpse of Major Ben?" ”

Sergeant Li was secretly happy in his heart: "Then there can be fake, you look at my medal, the bronze double sword medal, the Korean Battle Commemorative Medal, see it, I can still lie to you like this, at the beginning, I personally knocked down the one who said, 'This major, look at this gun, although it is not pure gold, but there are a few of this gold-plated ones that say, 'This soldier can afford it!'" ”

Lieutenant Pei had a nausea in his heart, the gun was a man who said 'Major Ben', but that 'Major Ben threw it when he was injured and fled in a hurry, and the person who injured that 'Major Ben was also Lieutenant Pei, but it had nothing to do with Sergeant Li, but Sergeant Li ran fast enough, and when he saw the golden thing, he ran to pick up the pistol in his hand, and sold it around like a treasure.

The Air Force captain next to him is estimated to be a master who is not short of money, and when he heard Sergeant Li say this, he said without saying a word: "Two hundred yuan, I want it, if you sell it now, I will give you the money!" ”

Lieutenant Pei shook his head and said to Sergeant Li with a smile: "You go first, I also want the headquarters!" ”

"Well, I'll go and drink with you in the evening!" Sergeant Li was still in the mood to hang out with Lieutenant Pei at this time, so he hurriedly pulled the Air Force captain out, and said as he walked: In addition to this gun, I have a lot of other good things, are you interested?

In the afternoon of the same day, he received an order to be transferred to the newly formed Third Armored Division to serve as deputy battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the Ninth Motorized Infantry Regiment, and the main battalion commander was temporarily vacant, which meant that he had to act as the battalion commander. Such an appointment has already made him see a shining future......
