Lushun Fortress, the cannon roared, and the battle raged in the sky.

The 5th Division of the Japanese Army, the only remaining 63rd Wing of the 11th Division, and the garrison of the last of the Kwantung Army organized samurai, ronin and retired soldiers, a total of about 30,000 people retreated into the Fort Arthur, and based on the mountain fortresses around Port Arthur, they launched a fierce battle with the Zhenbei Army!

This is known as the strongest fortress in East Asia, and the Japanese army suffered nearly 60,000 casualties in order to take it 27 years ago!

Twenty-seven years later, the Japanese army became the side forced to defend, and the attackers became the original owners of the land!

Shishan Highland, also known as Erling Mountain Highland, is the commanding height of the western front, very close to Lushun City and the port, because of the altitude of 203 meters, known as the 203 Highland.

At the same time, like the Russo-Japanese War, it has become an important position for the Japanese army and the Zhenbei Army!

At this time, it was almost early spring, and the mountains were full of dry trees and branches, and the 3rd Division of Zhenbei, which was responsible for attacking the 203rd Heights, sent two brigades as the main attacking force, and hit all the artillery and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the 203rd Heights!

Chen Yu, the commander of the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Regiment, led the soldiers to lie on the hillside, and then covered with rocks and some soil stalks, while on the mountain, the Japanese army relied on the strong fortifications built by the Russian army to shoot at the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army.

The trenches and defense lines cast with cement poured with gravel from the mountains made the Zhenbei army suffer enough, and the Japanese army relied on the advantage of the trenches to shoot at the Zhenbei army under the mountain from the shooting holes, and at certain distances, there were also machine gun positions and mortars and grenadier positions.

In a hail of bullets, the offensive of the 3rd Division was repulsed several times.

This time, the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Regiment were responsible for attacking the position on the eastern flank, and the regiment commander Chen Yu commanded his soldiers to crawl forward and press into a distance of 100 meters under the cover of artillery units and air force units.

"Call me the mortar for a minute of rapid fire!" Chen Yu shouted to the herald.

The herald immediately picked up the radio in his hand and called the rear to concentrate hundreds of 60-mm mortars and Type 92 light infantry in the whole regiment and began to bombard rapidly.

This is the time!

"Rush with me!!" Chen Yu took the submachine gun and fired two shots, and rushed forward with more than 1,000 soldiers in the whole regiment.

The Yamamoto Brigade of the 11th Wing of the Japanese Army, which was stunned by the sudden appearance of artillery, hurriedly organized soldiers to return fire.

But the shells kept pouring down the Japanese positions like a sudden rainstorm, and in the continuous artillery fire, Chen Yu took more than 1,000 soldiers to run to a distance of about 30 meters, and then everyone fell on the ground one after another according to the previous orders, and took out the grenades prepared in advance.

Two wooden-handled grenades per person, with the safety cover opened, ready to pull the rope at any moment.

When the one-minute rapid-fire artillery bombardment ended, Chen Yu suddenly shouted: "Open the safety cover! Listen to my orders! Three! Two! One! Throw it at me!"

Whoa-whoa-whoa-who

More than 1,000 soldiers opened the rope in their hands, threw the wooden-handled grenade emitting white smoke to the Japanese position thirty meters away, and then took out another grenade, operated, pulled the rope, and threw it into the Japanese position!

Boom! Boom!

The grenade explosions rang out one after another, and Chen Yu laughed with a submachine gun: "Brothers, rush with me!!

More than 1,000 soldiers quickly rushed into the Japanese position.!!

Nearly 2,000 grenades were thrown into the position on the east side of the Japanese army, and the Japanese troops in the trench were blown up.

Whenever they encountered a moving Japanese army, regardless of 371, they directly rushed over with a shuttle of bullets, and soon routed the Japanese troops in the first trench, and in a panic, the Japanese troops fled along the communication trench to the top of the mountain.

After a morning of fighting, the Zhenbei Army finally rushed to the first trench of the Japanese army and drove the Japanese army to the top of the mountain!

In the front-line headquarters, Yang Zhixing, deputy chief of staff, said to Chen Zhen: "The third division has already attacked the 203 heights, and it is expected to be able to take this heights in the afternoon!"

Chen Zhen, who looked indifferent, nodded and said, "After taking the 203 heights, get the light 105 artillery two regiments up." "

"Yes!" Yang Zhixing immediately instructed a staff officer to arrange for the 105th Artillery Regiment of the Independent Artillery Brigade to prepare for movement.

"How's the offensive on the Eastern Front?" Chen Zhen nodded on the map.

The staff officer in charge of following up the battle on the Eastern Front reported: "Chief of the General Staff, the situation on the Eastern Front is unfavorable, the Japanese army has caused great casualties to the attacking second and fourth divisions by relying on the Yonggu fortifications and batteries, and the Japanese army has hit all the artillery on the batteries around the fortress entrance, relying on the strong fortifications, it is difficult for the air force and heavy artillery units to bombard the Japanese fortress.

"

The artillery and air forces basically used grenades with thin skins and large fillings, and the damage caused to the Japanese permanent fortifications was very limited.

It is expected that it will take more than ten days to take the entire Lushun, as during the Russo-Japanese War, and the casualties of the soldiers will also go up.

Now it has only been half a day's work, and the three divisions responsible for the attack, more than 60,000 people, have suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

According to the calculations of the General Staff, to capture Lushun, you must be prepared for at least 20,000 casualties!

Chen Zhen looked at Lushunkou coldly and knocked on the table.

20,000 casualties were too great for the newly built Zhenbei Army, and other methods had to be used to conquer the Lushun Fortress!

"Chief of the General Staff!" At this time, the staff officer in charge of supervising the logistics and transportation trotted over and handed a list to Chen Zhen: "Chief of the General Staff!"

Chen Zhen took the list expressionlessly, looked at it and put it on the map, and the staff officers around him also gathered around to take a look, and then gasped!

I saw that it was written - 4,530 bacteriological bombs and 13,200 poison gas bombs!

Chen Zhen raised his eyes to look at the many officers, and said coldly: "Finally, there are no Chinese civilians in Lushunkou." "

All the staff officers were silent, but Yang Zhixing, the deputy chief of staff, gritted his teeth and nodded: "The Japanese army will use Lushun as a base for the army and navy fortress to control the northeast, and will not allow the Chinese to enter." "

"Well, we don't have any worries. Chen Zhen looked coldly at a few officers who seemed to have something to say, and said coldly: "Let's take revenge for the compatriots who were slaughtered here thirty-seven years ago." "

At this moment, everyone was silent.

Thirty-seven years ago, during the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army massacred nearly 20,000 civilians after conquering Lushun, and only 36 were left behind to collect their bodies......

"Our Zhenbei Army has always returned blood for blood, and there is revenge!" Chen Zhen lightly handed the list to the staff officer who contacted the artillery.

And ordered: "Deliver poison gas and bacteriological bombs to the heavy artillery brigade and the 203 heights, and shell them for three minutes at six o'clock in the evening for the first time, five minutes at nine o'clock in the evening, and five minutes in stages at one o'clock in the morning, four in the morning, and six in the morning." "

This is to soak Lushun in poisonous gas and bacteria all night!
