Chapter 757 Lushun Ground Offensive

The cannons were constantly roaring, constantly sweeping the Japanese fortresses one by one. Read with me h-u-n mixed *h-u-n mixed *small-say-net, please keep in mind that the Japanese have no way to fight back.

The artillery fire of the vanguard army knocked out the large-caliber fortress guns that the Japanese threatened one by one, even the 150-mm howitzers. The remaining small cannons, even if those two third-class dreadnought-class battleships with a tonnage of more than 80,000 tons came together, it was difficult to pose much threat to them, let alone the vanguard cannons that had always been wrapped in thick fortress protection.

Or many pull cannons have weaker protection, but they can't hit at all.

The sharpest king of the battlefield will not work, not to mention the other means of the Japanese.

The Japanese had already called for air support, but at this time the sky of Lushun was full of Vanguard fighters roaring. More than 100 Zero and Super Zero planes flew from the direction of the Korean Peninsula, and before they could reach Lushun, they were beaten by more than 300 lightning and hellcats of the vanguard army, and more than half of them were damaged and fled.

There was also a Nagato-class battleship named Oki parked in Port Arthur, as well as the Mikuma Heavy Patrol and the Natori Light Cruiser, this brave lineup was not unstrong, but in the face of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, which blocked the port, they did not have the courage to fight.

He could only rely on the large array of mines arranged by the Fifth Mine Squadron led by the famous Light Patrol, and cowered in the harbor.

"I don't even have the courage to fight to the death, I'm really ashamed of them!" The newly appointed division commander of the Eighth Division, Shizuo Yokoyama, looked at the Nagato-class battleship outside the window and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"Yokoyama-kun, this is an order from your superiors!" Honda Masasai, who had just stepped down as the commander of the 8th Division, was promoted again and became the commander of the 20th Army, commanding the 8th Division and the new 25th Division, with more than 50,000 troops defending Lushun together.

But in the face of the long-distance artillery bombardment of the vanguard army, he was also helpless.

The 31st Wing, which had been sent out to attack and destroy the artillery positions, had been attacking for three hours, but now there was no news at all. But in the direction of their assault, the sudden burst of machine guns overpowered the roar of the cannon even in an instant. Honda Masako already has bad thoughts in his heart, and I'm afraid that the 31st Wing has already been more than lucky.

"Keep going!" This was a telegram sent from Pyongyang by the already mutilated Kwantung Army Command when he asked for help.

Facing Shizuo Yokoyama, who has always been known as jade, Masaki Honda, who had seen the strength of the vanguard army during the Battle of Xuzhou, couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. So many Japanese troops were shattered, and they didn't hurt much of the vitality of the vanguard army.

However, he also understood that the attitude of this telegram had been very clear, and the upper echelons of the Kwantung Army, which existed in name only, planned to use the advantages of Lushun's fortress to fight a heroic jade crushing battle to seize the last straw. The base camp also acquiesced, trying to save a little face.

"Jade Crushing may be the best ending for us!" Honda Masako straightened the general in the military uniform, and after sighing in his heart, he continued:

"All the arrangements made by the superiors are for us to better defend Lushun. With the help of these warships, we can hold on for a little longer, just like Leningrad in Soviet Russia, as long as we hold on for three months, it will be a victory! ”

"Loyal to the Empire!" Shizuo Yokoyama was silent for a long time before these words popped out.

He is not a reckless person, where does he not know the calculations of his superiors, but at this time, it can only be a way to break jade.

……

"Area 6 is ready to be cleared!" With the order of the commander-in-chief Hu Yi this time, the infantry who are gearing up have begun to reorganize their equipment and prepare to attack.

When he was arranging his military exploits, Meng Xiang found that it was too difficult for the clone soldiers' exploits to rise up.

Perhaps due to future restrictions on the clones, they will receive far fewer points for merit from their commands. If you want to get a knife and a shot on the battlefield, the difficulty is not ordinary.

Meng Xiang knew that after the clones rose to a high position, their command was always a little stiff and rigid, which made it okay to command small-scale operations and local wars, but in the ever-changing and complex situation of large-scale operations, they were a little difficult. Even Niu Yi and others are the same. That's why Meng Xiang frequently called Fu Zuoyi, Sun Liren and others. This also makes their merit points continue to soar.

If it weren't for Meng Xiang's special arrangement, Niu Yi and Hu Yi's merit value would be a little unbearable, and it would be difficult to be the commander.

But their faithfulness is irreplaceable by anyone. By being planted by them in the army and various departments of the government, Meng Xiang can use the guise of democracy to implement his own will.

In order to solve the problem of the lack of flexibility in the command of the clones, Meng Xiang not only vigorously promoted the German staff system in the army, but also promoted his clones from time to time to earn merit points.

When attacking Siberia, the title of commander-in-chief fell on the top of Niu Yi's head, and Meng Xiang led a group of think tanks to intervene behind his back from time to time, and a series of battles were fought, and Niu Yi also won great merits. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, he has already made great merit and is worthy of the title of marshal.

Now attacking the Far East and Northeast, Hu Yi, who was originally a deputy in Siberia, has become the commander-in-chief.

Only the old qualifications of Huyi can suppress many army commanders and coordinate the coordinated operations of various arms of the army, navy and air force.

After the bombardment of the giant artillery, under the re-cleaning of all kinds of heavy artillery, the fortress group that was already full of ruins finally needed infantry to clean up the battlefield divided into one area after another, and advance step by step.

Area 6 is the famous 203 Highlands west of Lushun.

This piece of height, which was changed by the Japanese to Erling Mountain, was once famous for the suicidal pig assault commanded by Nogi Noshinori during the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese had high hopes that this piece of high ground, which had left a deep impression on the vanguard army, had been filled with dead bodies in the first place.

However, the vanguard army did not have the slightest consciousness of charging in the rain of machine guns with bayonets under the command of Nogi Noshinori, and when the vanguard artillery bombarded eight shells here and destroyed several large fortresses, more than 800 heavy artillery pieces densely arranged by the vanguard army once again bombarded the fortress group on which the Japanese relied on more than ten kilometers wide.

"Leave not a single intact fortress for the infantry!" Because of the presence of the artillery boss Kong Ci, the artillery unit played at a super level, and even planned to end the battle directly with artillery fire. The constant delivery of open supply of shells is their backbone.

As a result, the 17th Wing, which was heavily guarded here, was tragic, and they did not return a single shot at the vanguard, and they became a cloud of smoke and dust with the roar of heavy artillery along with the dense fortress group.

The infantry of the vanguard went up only to clear the ruins of their severed arms and bodies, and at most to put an end to their groans that echoed through the ground with bullets and bayonets.

"Area 12 needs support!" The members of the staff next to Hu Yi directly issued tactical orders, and these trivial orders did not require Hu Yi's decision, and when all kinds of information on the battlefield were synthesized in the General Staff, the members of the General Staff had the right to make orders with corresponding authority.

Just now, the infantry attack in Area 12 was blocked and additional support was needed.

Area 12 is located in Lushun County. Unlike the Lushun Military Port, there are still many Chinese civilians in Lushun City, which is not suitable for artillery bombardment, and the infantry needs to take over every street with guns.

These are the places where the infantry on both sides are most entangled.

As soon as the battle began, the street fighting in Lushun began.

The Japanese learned quickly and had adapted to the street and night battles of the vanguard army. Although this time the vanguard army fought a daytime battle with overwhelming strength that they did not expect, the Japanese had already set up fortifications and fortresses in various places in Arthur, trying to strangle the attack of the vanguard army.

"Let every fortress be filled with the blood of the China!" Among the confidence of the Japanese is this Lushun county town, which has been fortified.

The fortress, built with the blood and sweat of many Chinese people, became a barrier for the Japanese.

"Little devils are really not things!" Looking at the few houses next to the thick large fortress more than 200 meters away, Wang Chenglin was so angry that his chest was about to explode.

The formation of several fortresses made the attack of the iron fist unreliable, and when Wang Chenglin was about to order the bombardment with 76mm cannons, a few white heads and a few childish faces were exposed in the houses next to him, which suddenly stopped him.

Obviously, this is the little devil using the Chinese people as artillery shields.

Wang Chenglin, who had no recruitment, had no choice but to apply for support from special departments.

"Bang dang!" With a puff of smoke and dust, a pile of steel armor smashed through a remnant of the ruins and ran over it in a shortcut.

"There?" A head emerged from an armored machine that resembled an excavator, pointing to the distance and asking Wang Chenglin.

It seems that without Wang Chenglin's answer, he has already understood that the fortress that is bombarding 70 small artillery shells is the target.

"Rush up and kill it!" After a brief order, the two strange machines in thick armor beside him had already rushed forward under the bombardment of the 70 small cannons of the devils on the opposite side.
