Nogi Noshinori telegraphed to the defenders of Arthur that the Manchurian Army headquarters had added three more infantry wings and two artillery wings to attack Haicheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

During the night, this reinforcement arrived in the northern part of Haicheng. The two artillery wings set up artillery on the spot and immediately began to launch a fierce attack on the Hainan army in Haicheng.

At this moment, the Japanese army in the Yingkou area has been completely annihilated by the Hainan army stationed in Yingkou. Li Chuang ordered the army at Yingkou and the army at Dashiqiao to move forward on all flanks.

For a time, the Japanese troops north of Haicheng were attacked from the front and from both sides.

Nearly 300 artillery pieces began to attack the Japanese troops who came to support them fiercely, and Li Chuang's army completely suppressed the Japanese attack.

After nearly four hours of bombardment, the northern part of Haicheng was bombed with flames, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The Hainan army fired a full 30,000 shells. Li Chuang ordered the artillery to stop the attack.

In the second round, according to Chen Zhong's order, Li Chuang divided all 20 machine gun companies into three groups and charged from the front and the left and right flanks. The infantry followed and inflicted heavy blows on the Japanese troops north of Haicheng.

Ten kilometers north of Haicheng, Li Chuang's army and the Japanese army engaged in a white-knuckle battle in this vast area.

The short Japanese army did not take advantage of the army in Hainan, and in a white-knuckle battle of almost an hour, the Japanese army lost most of it and was forced to retreat to the Liaoyang area.

Li Chuang's army was fighting vigorously and was preparing to chase the fleeing Japanese army all the way, but was stopped by Chen Zhong and asked them to retreat to Haicheng and Dashiqiao to rest, preparing to start a battle with the Japanese army in the Liaoyang area after taking Lushun.

Nogi Masao of Lushun, after learning that the Japanese army who came to support Lushun was severely injured in the area of Haicheng, beat his chest in pain, he asked Nogi Noshinori to go out of the city and fight to the death with the Hainan army.

Nogi tried his best to stop him, but Nogi told him that if reinforcements from the military headquarters arrived, the defenders of Lushun might mutiny. The city has run out of drinking water. Rather than this, it is better to rush out of the city to break through, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Nogi Noshinori saw Nogi Masao's telegram, and at the same time, he also learned of the defeat of Haicheng's reinforcements, and had to agree to the defenders of Arthur City to break through as appropriate.

At the same time, the Manchurian Army Headquarters Dashan Yan also received the battle report from the Liao Peninsula and was furious, and he sent Kodama Gentaro, the chief of staff, to personally lead the Japanese Sixth Army Corps transferred from the Korean Peninsula to the northeast, and he wanted to start a decisive battle with Chen Zhong's Hainan army in Liaoyang and Mukden.

At this moment, the Japanese army in Arthur City began to abandon the city and break through, and it was impossible to break through from the sea. Only a breakthrough from land.

In the telegram, Nogi Masao made an agreement with the reinforcements from Liaoyang to launch an attack at the same time at midnight today, rendezvous in the area of Dashiqiao and Yingkou.

At two o'clock in the night, Liaoyang's reinforcements began a new round of attacks on Haicheng after resting, and at the same time, the defenders in Lushun City, under the command of Nogi Masao, also began to break through.

Nogi Masao ordered more than 200 field artillery pieces in Lushun City to attack the Hainan army outside Lushun City as the first round.

Ma Cong immediately reported this information to Chen Zhong, and the Lushun garrison had already begun to leave the city.

Chen Zhong was very excited when he learned that the defenders of Lushun had been forced to abandon the city and break through, and he knew that the battle plan to besiege Lushun had succeeded.

Chen Zhong ordered the more than 200 cannons of the field artillery regiment outside Lushun to stop shelling the Japanese artillery positions for half an hour and withdraw five kilometers back, giving time for the Japanese troops in Lushun to leave Lushun City.

Forty minutes later, 10 kilometers away from Arthur City, Chen Zhong's two artillery regiments deployed in advance carried out the most fierce artillery attack on the Japanese troops leaving the city.

Nogi Masao led the defenders of Lushun and charged forward with shells, and there were Japanese troops blown up everywhere along the way.

At this moment, Li Chuang's army in the Haicheng area was also attacked by a new round of Japanese attacks.

Chen Zhong ordered Ma Cong to transfer four machine gun companies after the shelling to carry out fierce blocking from the front and both sides of the Japanese army that broke through in Lushun.

Nogi Masao chose to break through in the direction of the left side of Lushun.

Chen Zhong predicted in advance that the defenders of Lushun would break through from the west of Dalian, so he ambushed two regiments of infantry in this area in advance. Ma Cong personally waited for Nogi Masao in this area.

Just as Chen Zhong envisioned, before dawn, Nogi Masao led two infantry wings and stormed into Chen Zhong's pre-arranged pocket.

After Nogi Masao's two infantry wings entered the pocket formation they had set up in advance, Ma ordered the two infantry regiments to attack on all fronts.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in a narrow area west of Dalian, and due to the disparity in strength, Nogi Masao's two infantry wings lost most of them after an hour of stubborn resistance.

Nogi Masao ordered everyone to remove their shirts, tie their heads tightly with white strips of cloth, and install bayonets on all the 38 big covers, and he was going to lead the remaining remnants of the Japanese army to make a final charge

Ma Cong also ordered all the soldiers to take out their bayonets and prepare for a painful white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army.

At this moment, it was seven o'clock in the morning, and the rising sun, like a new hope from the other side of the sea, erupted out, and the morning glow of the sky stained the entire sea surface red.

The sea breeze in the early morning is calmly blowing the thousand-year-old blue. In this silent morning, it seems to be whispering softly, and the past will finally have to be completely changed before this wave is lifted

A burst of gunfire shattered the beautiful tranquility, and between the swords and swords, a group of warriors who wanted to change this bleak history, wielding broadswords and spears, launched a life-and-death fight with the devils

This is an era of heroes, this is a thrilling moment, this is a fight between life and death, this is a contest between hope and despair, and finally, after nearly two hours of fierce fighting, the Japanese army in Lushun surrendered.

Ma Cong came to Nogi Masao and said, "Nogi Daisa, you should return our Lushun City to us"

Nogi Masao lowered his head and said, "Mr. Colonel, I have a request. ”

Ma Cong looked at Nogi Masao with a serious face and said, "Say something." ”

Nogi Masao glanced at Ma Cong, there was no hatred or anger in his eyes, only a prayer, and then, he knelt down in front of Ma Cong and said, "Please allow me to preserve my last dignity as a samurai."

Ma Cong was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "Nogi Dasa, I feel sad for your foolishness, your death at this moment is meaningless"

"Allow me to preserve my last dignity," Nogi said, kneeling on the ground, almost pleading.

Ma Cong was about to speak, but Chen Zhong, who came from behind, came to Nogi Masao's side and said, "Nogi Masao, this king will fulfill you."

Nogi Masao picked up the katana in his hand and plunged it into his abdomen.
