Two-one-four blood and steel

Kato was scolding the other party for not knowing how to save, while his soldiers struggled painfully under the fire.

With every huge howitzer shot across the sky, a long whistling sound was heard, and then a landslide explosion rang out over the position, and the heavy machine guns were shaken to the ground.

One by one, the devils were half-squatting in the makeshift trenches, their mouths wide open, some of the recruits couldn't bear such fear, they shouted nervously, and some of them were stupidly scared to get up and run wildly, and the next moment, they were torn to pieces by the shells flying around the ground!

Finally, after half an hour of bombardment, the world calmed down, the devil's traditional attacks are first bombed by aircraft, then artillery bombardment, artillery bombardment followed by infantry rush, I didn't expect that today it was the other way around, the sky was full of assault battalion planes, and they were also on duty.

Not to mention the artillery on the ground, the poor 75 field ammunition is only worth one-tenth of the opponent's, Kato really can't withstand the loss of the artillery battle, just a tentative attack, the enemy artillery did not lose much, but his own 75 field was killed more than 20 at once, and the others were so frightened that they hid and did not dare to speak again.

Although it was designed to shoot down two planes at the beginning, the anti-aircraft artillery brigade also lost nearly half of its men, and many of the heavy 75 anti-aircraft guns did not have time to evacuate, and actually lost two-thirds in the artillery fire, that is, below, they could only rely on people to rush, in case of an enemy air force sortie, the anti-aircraft artillery could not be counted on.

As a last resort, Kato learned from each other again and began civil engineering construction. It's a lot of sappers, it's still cold, the frozen soil hasn't melted, and there is no machinery in your hands, what to dig with? Do you rely on a pickaxe? Then you have to dig until the Year of the Ox and the Horse Month?

Soon, wolf-like sappers ran into the homes of the people, held them with bayonets, and asked the people to dismantle all the combustible materials in the houses and send them to the front line to burn the frozen soil.

When it was dark, all the people who had no tiles on it cried and shook the sky, but if they did not obey, they would be killed, so they had to tear down the roof thatch, the beams and pillars of the house, and the door panels, and put them on the open field to make fire.

The devil's side is full of fire, and the first trench is not idle, this front makes full use of the terrain, Dalian Bay in the east does not care, and the west line from Jijiatun to Sujiacun is only three kilometers in total, and it is not too simple to defend.

The first trenches were all semi-permanent fortifications, the jagged trenches were reinforced with sleepers and steel rails, and were also covered in three layers, and the key machine-gun bunkers could withstand 155 howitzers!

Behind them, the small excavators continued to work, and behind the trenches they opened another crooked ordinary trench, without a roof, which was used to hit mortars.

Behind them, there is a howitzer group behind Yuanbao Mountain, Taishan Mountain, Nanshan Slope, and Chimney Mountain, and these small hills just block the trajectory of the enemy's shells, so the four artillery groups do not need to move their positions at all, which saves a lot of artillery effort.

Xiaobarren Mountain, six kilometers away, and Nanguanling, nine kilometers away, each had a strong defensive line, which was held by Huang Youliang and Wei Dayong of the fifth company, respectively.

In the face of the direction of Dalian, Zheng Shuang of the Fourth Company only set up a line of defense on the front line of the reservoir, of course, if the devil wants to break through from there, it is impossible to complete it without spending thousands of people, and he can't bring heavy weapons.

The focus of defense is on the southwest side, Zheng Shuang set up a defense line in the mud ditch and the Jinlong Temple, and Liu Jun put thirty long-legged cannons on the fort hill on their side in one go, if the devil wants to break through the three-kilometer defense line by the sea, it is estimated that at least there will be a river of blood, right?

Liu Jun had the entire armored unit and the sixth company, as well as all the militia brigades that did not go up, in case there was a change in which direction, and reinforcements could be made in time.

Dalian was cut off by the assault battalion, and the devils could not figure out the movements of the assault battalion for the time being, but the families of these high-ranking officials could not bear it anymore, and one by one telegrams flew to Tokyo.

Why? There are always Americans in Tokyo who go to bomb and throw incendiary bombs at every turn, and all the wives and children of high-ranking officials have to hide in the basement, and they can't live in panic all day.

The emperor called Toyoda Tomitake in front of him and scolded him, what sea routes are not passable, what domestic supplies are in short supply, and many important materials cannot be transported back.

In the end, Toyota figured out the main point of what the emperor said, it turned out that taking back the children of those high-ranking officials was just a pretense, and important materials were mentioned three times in succession, and there may really be a batch of good things that were backlogged in Lushun.

The emperor was even more bitter and could not say that a large amount of gold and antiques that had been transported from Beiping and Tianjin were sent to Dalian and were ready to be transported back to China together, but who knew that the 120th Division had to delay the matter for a while because it had to transport troops, and a large amount of gold transported from Yantai also arrived at the Port of Arthur, and there were always American submarines roaming over there, and they happened to be sent to Dalian to organize transportation together.

Who knew that now, the other side blew up the warships and transport ships in Lushunkou at once, and even Dalian Airport was taken over. They can't go anywhere in the sky and the sea, and they want to rely on submarines to transport them, but there are four fewer of them at once, and now the naval forces of Qingdao, Yantai, and Weihai are almost at a dangerous point, and they can no longer draw out warships.

Toyota had to grit his teeth and send out two secret weapons, because although there were two battleships, they could not be protected at home, and there was not enough fuel, so these two big guys would be a little safer when they went out, at least they would not be attacked by the other party's planes.

Dalian, Jinzhou, Japanese attacks on both sides began at the same time at night.

This is also an arrangement made by the devils in order to prevent being bombed by air forces, at least, the kind of attack planes that do not stop hovering overhead for a long time will not appear at night.

This time, the north road was attacked by the 14th Wing and the 40th Wing of the 25th Division, with the assistance of the 15th Mountain Artillery Wing and the 111th Mortar Wing. The 243rd and 244rd Wings of the 111th Division formed the second echelon and prepared to follow the assault.

Nanlu Eagle Village was not reluctant to send the 73rd Mixed Brigade to attack, but asked the 158th Task Force Tachibana Nagamine Osa to lead his battalion to strengthen the civilian armed attack of the two brigades, of course, the artillery still assigned them two squadrons.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after all the Japanese troops had eaten a full meal, they began to move, first, they took advantage of the night to push all the 92 guns to the front line, and after the shelling, they carried out bayonet bombardment on the enemy's bunkers.

The devils of the first echelon all painted their bayonets with black ash or mud, and even the steel helmets were covered with camouflage nets, lying in the shallow advance trenches despite the cold.

Four dark holes have been dug up to 300 meters in front of the assault battalion trenches, and after the shelling, the two squadrons of devils who are in charge of the most important task will crawl out of the holes with explosives bags and die with the enemy!

Three companies and a platoon are defending in Jijiatun, which is connected to the railway and the highway, as long as the devil opens up here, a large number of troops can enter for a long time, although the front railway has been destroyed, and the highway has been dug up a lot, but after all, it is a traffic artery, so Lao Du handed over the most arduous defensive task to Li Hongliang, a sharp platoon!

There was a row of barbed wire 300 meters and 500 meters in front of the position, and laying mines was not a problem at all for the company's engineering squad.

As long as the devil is blocked in front of the second barbed wire, Li Hongliang doesn't mind letting them taste what steel ball iron rain is!

At about nine o'clock in the evening, some of the militiamen were bragging, some were dozing, and some were staring at the defensive positions under the flares.

A small piece of barbed wire moved lightly a few times, and then, behind the barbed wire, a hole suddenly appeared.

In the cave, a little devil quietly raised his head, and the mesh helmet was covered with dirt, but the devil didn't care at all, just looked at the barbed wire in front of him, and shrank back.

Half an hour later, a row of more than a dozen devils had crawled through the trench dug out under the barbed wire, and only to the last one, his backpack scraped on the wire, and the shaking sound of empty cans suddenly sounded!
