Of course, such a situation was also expected by Nogi Noshinori. The KPA occupies all the highest points on the periphery of Arthur, and also has an absolute advantage in the number of artillery, and at the beginning of the game, it will definitely hit the Japanese positions with heavy artillery bombardment, creating opportunities for the ground offensive in the back. Therefore, Nogi Noshinori did not deploy too many troops on the forward position, but concentrated a large number of troops on the second line, only waiting for the KPA shelling to stop, launch a ground offensive, and break through to the city of Arthur, and then put in the main force and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the KPA.

After the battle of the past few days, Nogi Noshinori had a very clear judgment on the superiority and inferiority of each other: the KPA had the advantage of troops, superior firepower, good coordination of infantry and artillery, and good use of machine guns; while the advantage of the Japanese army was that the quality of the soldiers was high, they had rich experience in actual combat, and they were good at white-knuckle warfare. Therefore, he actually abandoned the first-line position, let the KPA enter the city of Arthur, and used the narrow terrain in the city to offset the KPA's numerical superiority, and although he fought hand-to-hand combat with the KPA, he gave full play to the strengths of the Japanese army.

However, the development of the war was not as Nogi Noshinori expected, although the People's Army launched a ground offensive, but did not drive straight into the city of Arthur, but on the position abandoned by the Japanese army, quickly arranged their positions, ordinary soldiers each found cover to dodge, set up rifles, but the soldiers who could not find cover fell to the ground, and the machine gun group chose the high position of the position, set up machine gun positions, and the mortar group was also a little behind the infantry line, set up mortars.

It didn't take long for the People's Army to set up its own positions on the edge of Lushun City, firing like Japanese troops. Although the KPA was limited by the topography of the city, the KPA's numerical superiority was not fully brought into play, but due to the suppression of machine gun firepower and the close-range artillery such as mortars and grenadiers, this kind of competitive firepower was still a great advantage for the KPA, and the Japanese troops in many positions were either forced to retreat backwards or were completely suppressed by the KPA firepower.

In the case of superior firepower, the KPA also began to move forward, but the KPA did not advance quickly, nor did it rush forward, but under the cover of its own firepower, each advance was only about 100 meters, and then quickly set up a position again, stood firmly, and then repeatedly. It has always been like this step by step, steady and steady, and advancing layer by layer.

In fact, Nogi Noshinori can see the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and Luo Yue can naturally see it. And as far as urban warfare is concerned, Luo Yue's experience is far richer than Nogi Noshinori, before the crossing, urban warfare is one of Luo Yue's key training subjects, although the war mode of these two eras has undergone earth-shaking changes, but the most basic strategy, To put it simply, the most taboo thing in fighting urban warfare is to advance lightly and hastily, not to mention that the actual combat experience and personal qualities of the Japanese army are all above those of the people's army, so they have formulated such a set of tactics that are neither hasty nor slow, but steady and steady, and can give full play to the people's army's superiority in firepower.

At this time, Nogi Noshinori stood on the White Jade Mountain, looking down at the entire battlefield with a telescope, his brows furrowed, and his face was very gloomy. The staff officers and adjutants around him all looked anxious and worried.

At the beginning of the war, during the artillery bombardment of the People's Army, Baiyushan, as the highest point of the Japanese position, was also the key area to strike, but fortunately, Nogi Noshinori had already expected this, so only one brigade was arranged on the mountain, not even a single artillery.

Under the shelling of the People's Army, more than half of the brigades on Baiyu Mountain suffered casualties, and Nogi Noshinori's headquarters did not suffer much damage due to the use of Baiyu Mountain as a barrier, and became one of the safest Japanese positions. After the shelling stopped and the KPA launched a ground offensive, Nogi Noshinori immediately sent a wing up the mountain to garrison it, and personally climbed to the top of the mountain to observe the situation on the battlefield. Although the staff officers and adjutant were very worried, because there was no telling when the People's Army would shell Baiyushan again. Although everyone was ready to die before the war, but now that the overall situation has not yet been determined, naturally they don't want to die, and no one can resist Nogi Noshinori, so they have to stay on the top of the mountain with him in fear.

The battle lasted for more than 1 hour, but the battle situation did not develop in the direction that Nogi Noshinori expected, Nogi Noshinori hoped to see the melee between the two sides, and the chaotic battle situation did not happen, on the contrary, the People's Army used good organization and strong firepower to constantly squeeze the space of the Japanese army, and in some places the People's Army has broken through hundreds of meters. However, most of the Japanese troops abandoned their positions on their own initiative, so the casualties were not large.

Although the speed of the KPA advance was not very fast, there was not much room in the city of Arthur in the first place, and if the battle continued like this, at most by this evening, the Japanese army would lose most of its positions, and as a result, it would either be completely annihilated or squeezed into the sea.

Nogi Noshinori also knew that being led by the People's Army in this way would definitely be detrimental to himself, and the Japanese army wanted to save the tide of the war, after all, according to the plan he had formulated before the war, he would shorten the distance with the People's Army and conduct a white-knuckle operation. Therefore, they had to give orders to the Japanese troops in various positions, let them mainly attack, try their best to close the distance between the people's army, and conduct close combat. The Japanese attacked, and the KPA held its ground.

As a result, there was a very strange scene on the battlefield, the People's Army, as the attacking side, was strictly guarding its position, while the Japanese army, which was originally the defending side, launched a fierce attack.

Although the battlefield was set up temporarily, and most of the soldiers had no cover, first, the streets in the city were narrow, and the Japanese attack could only put in a small number of troops; second, the KPA was still very fierce with machine guns, grenadiers, and other weapons, so the Japanese attack was very unsmooth on most of the battlefields, and the casualties suddenly rose in a straight line.

However, not all the Japanese attacks on the positions were unfavorable, and on a few battlefields, the Japanese also successfully broke through the KPA defense line and launched close combat with the KPA. Therefore, on some battlefields, the soldiers on both sides were intertwined, and fierce white-knuckle battles were launched.

At this time, Luo Yue watched the battle on the 203 heights, and knew the situation of the entire battlefield well, and now the People's Army has roughly captured about 3-4 percent of the area in Lushun City, but several key points in Lushun City are basically still under the control of the Japanese army, if you can't capture these points, you can't really control Lushun City, of course, at this time, the People's Army is basically close to these points, so at this time, the People's Army can no longer have reservations, and when it is time to fight, it is still necessary to work hard.

So Luo Yue immediately fired a signal flare on the 203 heights, a group of three shots, a total of three sets, although it was daytime, but it could be seen clearly, this was the signal for the People's Army to attack. Therefore, it is needless to say that the People's Army, which had already fought with the Japanese army, and the People's Army, which was still holding its position, also fought out of their positions and fought with the Japanese army.

Although the battle situation finally entered the situation expected by the Japanese army at this time, the spirit of the two sides was completely different, the Japanese army was unsuccessful in attacking, and suffered a lot of casualties, and at this time it had entered the stage of "then declining", while the People's Army was first suppressed and then raised, and the counterattack after the defense was often like a rainbow, so after more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the Japanese army in most of the local battlefields could not support it, and was killed and wounded by the People's Army, and retreated again and again, and some even retreated into the position to defend.

At this time, on the battlefield in the Lushun New Area, the People's Army had attacked near the Japanese Kwantung Governor's Office War Department Building, which was originally the Russian Kwantung Prefecture Army Artillery Headquarters, which was a three-story brick and stone building, and there were Japanese generals' school assembly halls on both sides. The Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank Building and other buildings are all brick and stone buildings built during the Russian occupation of Lushun, which are very solid, and the Japanese army relies on these buildings to build the main position in the new city of Lushun, and the area is also the largest, garrisoned by two coalition troops, and also arranged 4 artillery pieces.

The 1st Division and 1st Regiment of the Marine Corps, which was responsible for attacking the War Department Building of the Kwantung Governor's Office, launched two attacks in a row, but were repelled by the Japanese troops guarding it, and more than 200 people were killed, but at this time it was impossible to retreat, so the regiment commander Yi Xun immediately ordered to launch a third attack immediately, and also divided two battalions to attack the General School Assembly Hall and the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank Building to contain the Japanese troops.

At the same time, Yi Xun ordered to concentrate all the 100 mm caliber mortars of the whole regiment to carry out concentrated artillery bombardment on the Japanese position, and after 10 minutes of shelling, the Japanese defense line was blown open with a large gap of more than 30 meters, and the People's Army took advantage of the situation to kill the Japanese position, and the Japanese army also swore to the death, so the two sides immediately launched a fierce white-knuckle battle.

The fighting was extremely fierce street by street, house by house, and the soldiers on both sides showed extremely high fighting spirit and courage, and many places were repeatedly fought and killed, and the casualties were also rising rapidly.

On the periphery, the artillery of the People's Army is still bombarding several buildings, I have to say that the Russians have worked hard in building these buildings, each building is very strong, and the mortar's blasting power is also a little worse, so although it has been bombarded more than 10 times, the damage to these buildings is not large, but it can also play a considerable role in interfering with the Japanese troops in the building. In addition, on the entire position, the two sides have been mixed together, and the Japanese soldiers in the building did not dare to shoot easily, and many Japanese soldiers simply rushed out of the building and joined the battle group.

However, after all, the People's Army has an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and it has also set up machine guns at several points to hit the Japanese army with fierce firepower, or to cover the attack of the People's Army, so after nearly one hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, the Japanese army gradually could not support it, and the position was completely lost, and the remaining Japanese troops could only hide in the three main buildings, and they were still continuing to resist stubbornly.
