At night, Port Arthur was brightly lit, and all the soldiers stationed in Port Arthur were busy, and there were two cruisers and three destroyers moored in the military port, the cruisers were the 5,800-ton Kiso light cruiser and the 14,000-ton Haguro heavy cruiser, which were the detachments stationed in the Port Arthur.

As the soldiers of the military port were carrying supplies and ammunition to the two cruisers and several destroyers, Commander Honjo decided to reinvigorate himself, and in the face of the approaching Zhenbei Army, he decided to send his only naval force to attack the coastal cities occupied by the Zhenbei Army in the Bohai Sea.

For example, in the coastal areas of Gaizhou, Yingkou, and the plains at the back of the Liaodong Peninsula, along the coast of Gaizhou, the South Manchurian Railway is only four or five kilometers away from the coastline, and the 10 203-mm main guns on the heavy cruiser Yuheo can definitely easily bombard the South Manchurian Railway Line and destroy the logistics and transportation of the Zhenbei Army.

Just be careful of the planes of the Zhenbei Army, so Commander Honjo Shigeru ordered the fleet to set off at night and sabotage the railway line around Gaishu along the coast!

The commander of the Kanto Prefecture Detachment, Naokuni Nomura, was looking at the busy soldiers at the port and Chief of Staff Miyake Mitsuji, as well as Seishiro Itagaki and others.

Several people stood under a street lamp, and the chubby Nomura Naokuni with a small beard said to Mitsuji Miyake in a particularly thick local accent: "Chief of Staff, why don't you wait for the reinforcements led by the Nachi to arrive?"

The base camp has returned to support a detachment and two divisions to the Kanto Prefecture, and Muto Nobuyoshi has been sent to replace Shigeru Honjo as commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and the chief of the general staff of the Kwantung Army will also be replaced by Toranosuke Hashimoto.

In other words, both Shigeru Honjo and Miyake Koji have been questioned by the base camp and will return to their home countries to be tried by a military court, and the best outcome is nothing more than entering the reserve and staying until retirement.

Miyake Mitsuji glanced at the still lit window of the command building, and sighed, "Let's always make a counterattack before the support arrives." "

Miyake Mitsuji knew that he would not be punished too much by the base camp, at most he would just be transferred to the reserves, but for Honjo Shigeru, transferring to the reserves was already the best outcome, so he had to fight back, and before Muto Nobuyoshi, who supported and replaced him, rushed to Lushun, and now, this fleet was his only hope.

Seishiro Itagaki said to Naokuni Nomura: "Nomura-kun, according to the latest information, the Shina military column that went south from Mukden seems to be equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery, you have to be careful!"

With the expansion of the territory of the Zhenbei Army, it is becoming more and more difficult to search for the spies below, especially after reaching the south of Fengtian, the military dogs are obviously insufficient, and it is fortunate that there are military dogs that can identify the spies of the red police unit, so that Xue Lin can kill all the spies of the little devil when he blitzed Fengtian, and successfully blocked the leakage of news.

But there are so many red police units, and there are only more than 200 military dogs in Xue Lin's hands, most of which are placed in the city, and his ability to sort out spies outside the city is much worse, and it also gives Itagaki Seishiro and Kenji Dohihara a little chance.

After knowing that the spy network in the city was basically destroyed, the two decisively abandoned the urban spy network and started from the countryside and small towns, especially the villages and towns around the South Manchurian Railway, and finally gathered some information.

Nomura Naokuni laughed, and his mustache shook and twitched: "Don't worry, Itagaki-kun, the artillery of the people of the night branch can't find us." "

"I hope so. Itagaki Seishiro raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he sensed something bad.

Phew-

A piercing sound came from the night sky, and everyone was attracted and looked up at the night sky.

Rumble!

The heavy cruiser Kuroba docked at the military port was less than fifty meters away from the sea and a column of water soared into the sky!

"Heavy artillery!" Immediately, a Japanese soldier shouted loudly.

Naokuni Nomura, Seishiro Itagaki and others were dumbfounded, and Miyake Koji was surprised: "There are warships around?!"

Judging by such a huge column of water, it is definitely a large-caliber artillery, and it is very likely to be a naval gun!

Because this is Lushun, the enemy army has just broken through the Wafangdian defense line, and it is at least more than a hundred kilometers away from Lushun!

The Japanese troops in the military port panicked for a moment, and then saw that no shells were falling, and they didn't know what to do, so they all froze in place.

Phew-

But soon, the same voice sounded again, and everyone scattered in all directions.

Rumble!

An artillery shell landed in the military port, blasting the ground into a crater several meters deep, and more than a dozen soldiers within a radius of more than 100 meters were killed and injured by shrapnel.

"What kind of cannon is this, at least a heavy cannon of more than 300 millimeters!" Mitsuharu Miyake gasped, and they retreated into cover under the cover of the soldiers.

"Damn! This powerful cannon is definitely a heavy cannon of more than 300 mm! When did the enemy have a heavy cruiser or battleship?" Nomura Naokuni clenched his fists tightly, looked at the warship that was on fire in the harbor, and said fiercely.

Although the Paris cannon was only 210 mm, the huge muzzle velocity obtained after the acceleration of the extra-long barrel gave the shell a 300 mm naval artillery bombardment ability.

"Chief of the General Staff!" a herald trotted over, panting, "The artillery has calculated the direction from which it came, and it is northeast! But everything is normal in Dalian and Pulandian!"

"Nani?!" Seishiro Itagaki suddenly widened his eyes and said incredulously: "If you come from the northeast, then the enemy's heavy artillery is at least a hundred kilometers away! How can there be such a long distance of heavy artillery!"

"Paris cannon......" Mitsuji Miyake bit his lip.

Seishiro Itagaki was stunned for a moment, and then quickly recalled this terrifying beast from the First World War when the barrel alone was ten stories high.

Nomura Naokuni frowned: "Although the Paris cannon can shoot hundreds of kilometers, the accuracy is very poor." "

Rumble!

Suddenly, another shell fell into the harbor, and a destroyer Zefeng was blown into two sections on the spot, the middle part was pierced, and the two ends jumped high out of the water, and then fell fiercely, the flames echoed in the military port with the sound of a huge steel breaking, and the screams of countless sailors were all over the port, and the destroyer Zefeng, which was commissioned in 1920, completely sank into the water.

Naokuni Nomura was stunned, and then ran towards the heavy cruiser Kuroba like crazy.

Seishiro Itagaki pinched his headache head tightly and said to Miyake Koji: "With a range of more than 100 kilometers, I can't think of other artillery except for the Paris cannon, even if it is the famous train guns during the First World War, it is only a range of more than 50 kilometers." "

Miyake Mitsuji sighed, looked at a huge cannonball that fell in the military port for a minute, and said, "Immediately transfer the headquarters to the underground bunker, they must be more than such a heavy artillery." "

"Hai!" Seishiro Itagaki immediately went to inform the headquarters.

It seemed to be a premonition that Miyake Miyake had enlisted, and then in the second half of the night, the shelling gradually increased, until eight shells fell at a time, completely shrouding the Japanese troops in Arthur Military Port under the haze of terrifying artillery.

Everyone knew that the opposing army of China had artillery with a range of more than a hundred kilometers, and they had nothing to do.
