The blue military uniforms converge into a blue ocean, which stretches all over the mountains and fields as far as the eye can see.

The shouts of the soldiers resounded in all directions and echoed for a long time.

Artillery of various calibers opened fire one after another, providing fire cover for the attacking troops.

From time to time, shells fell into the positions of the Japanese and exploded.

In the large and small bunkers of the Japanese position, the devil soldiers who survived the sea of fire hurriedly entered the position and began to prepare to block it.

Soon, a large-scale and tragic offensive and defensive battle broke out between the two sides.

"Chief of Staff, order the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade to concentrate its firepower on the Japanese position at six o'clock and kill the Japanese bunker group there." In a hidden forward observation post, Zhang Xinghan turned his head and commanded Jiang Baili.

"Yes!" Jiang Baili answered, picked up the phone and began to order.

In a short time, a heavy artillery fire fell on the Japanese bunker group at six o'clock.

Under the cover of their own artillery fire, hundreds of officers and men of the Northeast Army, who had been suppressed by the dense and fierce fire of the devils, took advantage of the situation and rushed forward.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the entire battlefield of Lushun Fortress was in flames, and the sound of guns and cannons was deafening, and the intensity was beyond words.

Although the Northeast New Army was attacking rapidly and occupying absolute artillery fire and air firepower superiority, due to the desperate resistance of the Japanese army, the progress was not great.

Towards evening, the attacking forces were only able to capture some minor outlying positions of the Japanese army.

It didn't work much, and the main positions of the Japanese army were still in the hands of the devils.

However, both sides paid a considerable price for casualties.

"Commander, the troops suffered heavy casualties, the resistance of the devils was very tenacious, and they were supported by the solid fortifications of the Lushun fortress.

Our army is desperate to capture it, but it is too difficult and too costly. "In Command. Jiang Baili frowned and said.

"Huh? What is the best way for the chief of staff? Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised, in fact, he really couldn't think of a good way at this time, only to use the absolute strength of the Northeast New Army to smash the Japanese turtle defense line and take the Lushun Fortress.

But the difficulty of the attack and the losses of the troops were indeed somewhat beyond Zhang Xinghan's expectations, and Rao was mentally prepared.

Jiang Baili frowned at the map and pondered for a long time and muttered: "Commander, the casualties of our divisions are very large, I suggest that the 30,000 Northeast Army prisoners in Jinzhou be transferred immediately, and they can be used to supplement the battle losses of our army and strengthen the continuous attack on the Lushun fortress." ”

"Good idea, just do it." Zhang Xinghan looked at Jiang Baili approvingly.

……………………

Arthur Fortress. Inside the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Ryokari Takashi, Okamura Ninji and others had very gloomy faces, and the chief of staff, Koiso Kuniaki, announced the battle losses of each division and regiment.

After hearing this, Ryokara's brows almost furrowed.

"Okamura-kun, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and I'm afraid the situation will not be good if it continues like this." Takashi Hishikari asked, looking at Ninji Okamura.

"Your Excellency the General, do not panic, the Chinese army has absolute superiority in artillery, aviation, as well as tank and combat vehicle units.

It's normal that we'll have such a big battle loss, but I believe it. The casualties of the Chinese are not much smaller than ours.

In terms of troops, there is not much difference between our two sides, and Zhang Xinghan's troops have to guard against the warlords of the various branches in the Guannai.

Now it is again tired of dealing with the Russian army that invades the northern border.

As a result, they are under much more pressure than we are.

So. As long as we persevere, victory will be ours.

In the final analysis, this battle depends on who can persist more and who will persist to the end. Whoever wins. Okamura Ninji said to Hishikari Takashi very firmly.

That night, Zhang Xinghan ordered the Northeast Army to continue the attack overnight.

The fierce battle entered a white-hot stage, and both the offensive and defensive sides were killed and wounded. Corpses littered the field.

The battle lasted for a day and a night, and the new officers and soldiers in the northeast, with the assistance of tank and combat vehicle units, finally broke through one of the spinning threads of the devils.

However, due to the heavy casualties of the troops, they were unable to continue to expand the results of the battle and expand the breakthrough.

Okamura Ninji and others immediately commanded the reserve troops to counterattack, and the two sides once again entered the stalemate stage.

On the third day, after two days and two nights of continuous fighting, both sides entered a state of exhaustion, each with heavy casualties.

At this time, the two tank regiments of the Northeast New Army in the direction of Jinzhou, escorting 30,000 captives, finally arrived at the battlefield in time.

Zhang Xinghan immediately urgently replenished 30,000 captives to all divisions and regiments, and after receiving 30,000 fresh troops.

The stagnant offensive began again, and the 30,000 captives had long been holding back their anger and had nowhere to vent.

This time, when I heard that it was a war with the Japanese, all of them were alive and vigorous.

With the addition of these 30,000 new forces, the situation of the stalemate quickly changed.

They are not like some new recruits, they are all veterans with rich training and combat experience.

After Zhang Xinghan replaced them with new weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness they displayed was extremely amazing.

On the evening of the third day, the Northeast New Army had basically broken through the entire defense line of the Japanese army.

Zhang Xinghan threw his last reserves into the battle and launched a final attack on the last line of defense of the Japanese army, Arthur Military Port.

Tens of thousands of officers and men of the Northeast New Army scrambled to pursue them, and in front of them were a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.

A large number of devil soldiers retreated and fled to the military port, and if they were a little slower, they would be knocked down by the tank machine gunners of the Northeast Army.

Or blown away by a cannonball fired by a tank.

In the military port, Ryokari boarded a warship with a dead face.

He was accompanied by Kuniaki Koiso and Ninji Okamura.

"General, please allow the humble to stay and live and die with the warriors of the Kwantung Army." Okamura Ninji bowed his head and said.

Hearing this, Ling Kalong looked at him and said in a fierce voice: "No, the imperial army has been defeated in this battle, you can't afford to lose your life in vain, and there is a saying in the branch that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years."

Okamura-kun, you are a good commander, and you will definitely have a chance to make a comeback in the future. ”

Okamura Ningji was in the mood to die at the moment, the Northeast New Army was attacking rapidly, and the tenacity of the soldiers' fighting consciousness was certainly beyond his imagination.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Xinghan actually threw tens of thousands of captives into battle.

And it played a heavy role, and for the prisoners of the Northeast Army, who were enemies of the Northeast New Army a moment ago, they could become a strong force to the death of the Kwantung Army in the blink of an eye.

Okamura Ninji couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out, and now the Northeast New Army is suffering from internal and external troubles, which is a good opportunity to be ashamed.

Why did Zhang Xueliang, who had just suffered a big loss, stand still?

It's just that he Okamura Ninji forgot that this war was a battle between two peoples, China and Japan.

In the face of national righteousness, Chinese soldiers can put aside their hatred and prejudices to join hands to resist the enemy.

Even if they were still playing against each other a moment ago.

What's more, the Northeast New Army and the Northeast Army are fraternal units with the same roots and origins. (To be continued......)
