Chapter 168 Military God Nogi Xidian (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)
The Dongyang Army's offensive was very fierce, and a large number of troops rushed forward. Even if there were layers of corpses piled up on the battlefield, they still couldn't scare them.
Those Japanese soldiers stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge towards the Russian positions until they were shot.
After a day's fighting on March 22, the 1st Division and 7th Division of the Toyo Army Infantry suffered heavy losses.
The casualties of the two divisions have exceeded 10,000.
Many infantry regiments or infantry brigades have been disabled.
But even so, these troops still maintain a very high fighting passion, as if they completely turned a blind eye to death.
"Yo Xi! The 1st and 7th Infantry Divisions performed very well today. Although our losses were not small. However, we have fully demonstrated the prestige of the Ding Army. I believe that the Russians must have been frightened." As long as we continue to launch such attacks, we will soon be able to break through the Russian defenses." General Nogi Noki looked as if everything was under control.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Junior General 123 Iida Toshisuke replied.
"However, Your Excellency, Commander, the 1st Infantry Division reported that the son and the second son were killed in battle." Major General Iida Gosuke reported.
The smile on General Nogi Nozomi's face froze all of a sudden, as if he didn't expect such a situation to happen.
But then, he seemed unimpressed. It was as if his sadness only lasted for a moment.
"On the battlefield, they are just ordinary soldiers. Other soldiers can die for the empire, so can they." General Nogi Nozomi said.
Although his two sons died in battle, he was very sad in his heart. However, he must not be able to show it in front of his subordinates. Otherwise, this will inevitably be an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the troops.
Besides, even if two sons died, he still had one son, and he was not yet dead.
"Order the 9th Infantry Division and the 11th Infantry Division to rotate the 1st Infantry Division and the 7th Infantry Division tomorrow, and continue to attack the Russian defense line. Regardless of losses and at all costs, we must defeat the Russians! General Nogi Nozomi ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Iida Shunsuke replied.
After Major General Iida Shunsuke left, General Nogi Nozomi showed a trace of sadness in his eyes.
He looked in the direction of Lushun Fortress, and fell silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty Tianhuang, the entire Naimi family will devote themselves to you and the empire's hegemony!" Nogi Xidian's eyes were full of determination.
The next day, March 23, the Toyo Army's offensive resumed.
Perhaps the frenzied attack of the 1st and 7th Infantry Divisions yesterday set an example for the 9th and 11th Infantry Divisions. This made the two infantry divisions also act extremely crazy during the attack on this day.
In the first wave of attacks, the two divisions sent out all the infantry regiments.
Nearly 30,000 people frantically launched a fierce attack on the Russian defense line.
Despite the strong firepower of the Russian army, the 9th and 11th Divisions of the Toyo Army Infantry also paid a huge price. A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed or beaten to death. But even so, it didn't frighten them, let alone make them retreat.
The battle was very tragic, or it could be said that this was unilaterally for the Toyo Army.
They attacked under the hail of bullets from the Russian army, barely moved forward, and had to pay a very heavy price.
But even so, the Dongyang people are still fighting high, and they still charge without changing their faces until they die on the battlefield.
This fearless offensive method of the Orientals also caused a great shock (adfd) and pressure to the Tsarist Russian Army.
Even if the firepower of the Russian army is very strong, there are still strong fortresses to rely on. However, people are not machines, they will get tired. At the same time, the weapons and equipment in hand will also malfunction or be damaged.
This allowed the Eastern Army to gradually approach the Russian army's defense line, and even started shooting at the Russian army at a distance of less than 100 meters.
The marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers is very accurate, and they are all fed with bullets.
Compared with automatic firepower such as machine guns, the Japanese always believe that soldiers' marksmanship is safer.
This made the Eastern Army attach great importance to the marksmanship of the soldiers.
In such a confrontation, even though these Japanese soldiers were suppressed by the intensive machine gun firepower of the Russian army, they were still able to display a very high level of shooting.
This also caused the losses of the Russian army to continue to soar.
Fortunately, the Russian army had already caused great losses to the Toyo Army before. Otherwise, they would really not be able to handle the crazy attack of the Orientals.
Even so, after several days of high-intensity fighting, the outer defense line of the tourist block is almost the same. The Russian army was able to retreat to the core defense line of the fortress.
Among them, the 203 highland is the most important.
This is the commanding height of the entire fortress. The Russian army deployed a large number of artillery and machine guns here, built bunkers and trenches, and deployed heavy troops for defense.
The Dongyang Army launched an offensive for several days in a row, but failed to take down the 203 Heights. Instead, under the intensive firepower of the Russian Army, it suffered extremely heavy losses.
After ten days of fierce fighting, the Dongyang Army failed to take down Lushun Fortress.
However, the good news is that they have already approached the core position of Lushun Fortress. This seems to let the Orientals see the hope of victory, and it also makes them more fearless to attack.
Of course, after ten days of fierce attack, the Third Army of the Eastern Army also suffered great losses.
Originally, the entire third army had 130,000 people. But now, only half of it is left, and the battle damage has reached an astonishing fifty percent.
Such a large loss greatly weakened the attack power of the Third Army of the Eastern Army.
As for General Nogi Nozomi, he was also controversial among the senior leaders of the Eastern Army.
Some senior army officers thought that General Nogi Noki's tactics were too reckless, without any technical content, and he was simply using the lives of soldiers to fight head-to-head with the powerful firepower of the Russian army, which was completely letting the soldiers die.
But there was also General Nogi Noki who played the spirit of the Eastern Army and the momentum of the Eastern Army in this battle. He can be called the military god-level general of the Eastern Army. Especially after learning that General Nogi Xidian's two sons died in the front line, there are countless people who respect General Nogi Xidian incomparably. .
