The situation reversed with the arrival of the main force of the 22nd Brigade of the 8th Column! The Japanese troops, who had already approached the dead end of the 1st Battalion of the 64th Regiment and the Fire Support Battalion led by Zuo Ye, suddenly found that they had been unknowingly transferred out of the fortress position by the Eighth Route Army, and the defenders of the fortress had become an attacking field force, exposed to the guns of the main force of the Eighth Route Army that rushed to reinforce urgently, and they could not withdraw if they wanted to.

The main force of the 22nd Brigade, which rushed to reinforce it, drove the military train directly to the railway station, and opened fire on the train with light and heavy machine guns, 92 infantry guns, mortars, and grenadiers, cutting a blood-red passage in the Japanese attack formation, and at once splitting the Japanese Lushun garrison that was detouring from the west into two halves.

The light and heavy machine guns and various types of artillery on the train were firing extendedly, staggering the attack formation of the little devils.

Immediately afterwards, the Eighth Route Army, which jumped off the train, blew the trumpet of the charge, and the soldiers shouted and rushed towards the stunned little devils.

Zuo Ye was already covered in blood at this time, and he crawled on the side of a broken wall with the guards, holding a Bayi automatic rifle to shoot. Seeing that the main force arrived, Zuo Ye actually laughed and burst into tears.

The Japanese army was besieging the remnants of the Eighth Route Army guarding the station, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army not only tore apart the attacking Japanese army, but also divided and surrounded the Japanese army.

The two armies were entangled together, and the Japanese heavy artillery brigade could not open fire, because Vice Admiral Kobayashi, the commander of the fortress garrison, Major General Yokoji, the commander of the fortress garrison, and Noda Osa of the Marine Corps were all on the front line to supervise the battle.

The main force of the 22nd Brigade that arrived was a fresh force, and the soldiers had already eaten dry food in the car and were full of energy. This one joins the battlefield, like a tiger. Pounce on the devils.

Major General Henglu of the garrison of the Lushun Fortress found that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had arrived, and was so shocked that the telescope fell to the ground. When the main force of the Eighth Route Army was really engaged in the battle, Major General Yokoji knew that his strategy of encircling the railway station in a roundabout way was tantamount to selling the back of the main force to the main force of the Eighth Route Army that rushed to reinforce it. It's too late to say anything, and you can only quickly rendezvous with the Marines. Together, even if it only repels the first attack wave of the Eighth Route Army, the troops can quickly leave the battlefield and return to the fortress position. As long as they get into the fortress position, no matter how vicious the Eighth Route Army is, their troops will be able to hold out for half a month, to say the least. When the Japanese army attacked the Lushun fortress occupied by the Russians, it was almost a year!

Rear Admiral Yokoji was right. If the main force of the Japanese army is really allowed to retract to the fortress position, no matter how strong the 22nd Brigade of the Eighth Column is, I am afraid it will be difficult to quickly capture Lushun. Moreover, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood will be formed in Lushun, and the entire 22nd Brigade will have to be filled in.

Major General Yokoji shouted hoarsely and ordered the flag soldiers to send a signal to each brigade to leave a squadron to block the attack, and the main force quickly turned in. Go and rendezvous with the Marines.

The attack position of the Japanese garrison in Lushun was originally connected to the Marine Corps, and according to common sense, it was normal for the troops to be in one place. But. Under the blow of the Eighth Route Army, the normal transfer of troops of the Japanese army could not be done! Because after the main force of the Eighth Route Army pounced, it quickly interspersed and divided itself with battalions and companies, and saw that it was going to cut the little devils into pieces of cake and annihilate them. Not to mention the garrison of Lushun Fortress commanded by Major General Henglu, even the marines were dragged back, and they couldn't withdraw if they wanted to, so they could only turn their guns and desperately block the Eighth Route Army that rushed up.

The two armies fought together, and the Japanese artillery superiority was neutralized. On the battlefield, the sound of killing was shocking, and there was a burst of gunfire.

Only then did the little devil realize that the battle was fought like this. I saw that the Eighth Route Army that had been killed carried out infantry squad and platoon tactics, alternating cover, rapid attack, fire cover and infantry leaping into one, and the soldiers could aim, shoot, and retreat the shells while running. The movements are so skillful that they are like Japanese soldiers who can put rice grains into their mouths with their eyes closed when they pick up a lunch box.

In addition to infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers, light and heavy machine guns, and rocket launchers, the 22nd Brigade's flying thunder artillery also joined the battle, and the explosive packs flew one after another to the Japanese army groups that tried to block the attack, blowing up the little devils and calling them crying fathers and mothers!

Several trains of the main force of the 22nd Brigade drove directly into the railway station, tearing open the Japanese encirclement of the 1st Battalion and Fire Support Battalion of the 64th Regiment led by Zuo Ye, who began to exercise command as soon as the crisis was lifted. While directing the troops to divide and surround the main forces of the Japanese infantry and marines, he ordered the 66th Regiment to send two battalions to quickly pounce on the Japanese artillery positions and destroy the Japanese heavy artillery brigade and air defense units.

Zuo Ye and the Japanese army have been fighting from the morning to the present, and they have a good understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, and they know that the Lushun garrison is a group of new soldiers, as long as they are not allowed to withdraw to the fortress position, the battle to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Japanese army in the railway station area will soon end. Next, it will be much easier to capture the fortress positions held by the remnants of the Japanese army one by one.

Shen Shengli, commander of the first battalion of the 64th Regiment, commanded his troops to fight the Japanese invaders after the battle began, and by this time the casualties of the troops had already been very large. Seeing that the main force had arrived, he immediately ordered the 1st Battalion and the fire support company that cooperated with the operation to launch a counterattack, firmly attracting the little devils, making them unable to get out, and creating conditions for the main force to divide and destroy the Japanese army.

To tell the truth, under such a frantic attack of the Japanese army, the first battalion and the fire support battalion of the 64th Regiment have been able to support until now, in addition to the resolute determination of the commanders, the strong fighting will of the soldiers, and the high level of tactics, there is also a major factor, that is, the ammunition that Zuo Ye transported on the military column they intercepted in Jinzhou. After the Eighth Column was equipped with Japanese-style equipment, the ammunition transported on the military train could be used, and the light and heavy machine guns, infantry guns, and bullets and shells that could not be fired by grenadiers became extremely powerful.

Machine guns are roaring, shells, explosives, and grenades are exploding, and the battlefield is filled with smoke.

Vice Admiral Kobayashi, who was hiding in the garrison headquarters of the fortress, knew that the Lushun fortress was finished when he found that reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army had arrived.

Vice Admiral Kobayashi repented of his bowels, but he was a battle-hardened general, and he would not burst into tears and roll around like a woman who had lost the upper hand in a quarrel.

At this time, Lieutenant General Kobayashi made the most correct decision since the beginning of the battle, that is, to report to the Kwantung Army headquarters that the Arthur fortress was about to fall.

The battle is far from over, the Japanese troops are still fighting, and Lieutenant General Kobayashi can accurately foresee the imminent fall of the Lushun Fortress, this guy's vision is still quite good. He is worthy of being a vice admiral of the Great Japanese Navy.

In a telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Kobayashi reported in detail how he discovered the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Lushun Railway Station and how he made his own decision, and analyzed that the Lushun Garrison Command's decision to concentrate its main forces to recapture the railway station was not wrong, but it was due to the withdrawal of the elite of the fortress garrison and the Marine Corps. The newly replenished soldiers lacked actual combat experience and were not effective in combat, and the fortress garrisons and marines of the six brigades could not take the railway station and suffered heavy losses. This situation is simply unimaginable for the army and navy of Japan, which has always adhered to the line of being an elite army, and shows that blindly expanding the army will not only fail to improve its combat effectiveness, but will also dilute its combat effectiveness because there are too many new troops.

Lieutenant General Kobayashi is sounding the alarm bell for the "Japan" base camp that blindly expands its army and wantonly expands the scope of aggression. I want to let those invading demons in the base camp know that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is not stronger because of the expansion of so many more divisions and brigades, on the contrary, many Japanese troops are new regiments and are vulnerable!

In the end, Kobayashi reported that he had failed the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, and was unwilling to watch the fall of the Lushun Fortress, which had been in operation for decades, and was determined to apologize!

After sending the telegram. Vice Admiral Kobayashi summoned Noda Osa of the Marine Corps and ordered him to take over the command of the Arthur Fortress and command the troops to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.

Lieutenant General Kobayashi this is no way. He would never have ordered the surrender of the Japanese army. Although Lieutenant General Kobayashi surrendered to the Soviets after the Soviet army swept through the Kwantung Army and handed over the Arthur Fortress, it was after Emperor Hirohito announced his unconditional surrender long ago. The current Japanese army, on the whole, is still at its peak, and Kobayashi would rather apologize than order the defenders to surrender. Originally, he was supposed to hand over the command to Major General Yokoji of the fortress garrison, but Major General Yokoji's troops were now divided by the Eighth Route Army and could not be contacted, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive, so Kobayashi had to hand over the command to Noda Daisa.

It's all about time. Vice Admiral Kobayashi is still handing over command and apologetic for his crimes, and those who don't know still think that Vice Admiral Kobayashi has the spirit of bushido and swears allegiance to the emperor, and those who know know it know that he is afraid that he will be publicly tried after falling into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and his death will be even more ugly! At least, that's what Noda thinks. It's just that Noda Osa didn't stop Lieutenant General Kobayashi from apologizing. First, Noda Osa believed that Lieutenant General Kobayashi was indeed guilty and blindly commanded, causing the fortress garrison and marines to leave the fortifications of the fortifications, which provided an opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to quickly gather and annihilate the defenders of the fortress; The second is that Noda Osa also knows what happened to the Japanese lieutenant generals and major generals of the Japanese army in North China who fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and Noda Osa does not want Vice Admiral Kobayashi to let the Great Japanese Empire be humiliated again!

While Lieutenant General Kobayashi was still wiping his sword and chanting farewell verses, the main force of the Japanese army had completely collapsed.

The Japanese fortress garrison originally had six infantry brigades, but suffered heavy losses in the battle of attacking the railway station, and one brigade was eliminated as a whole, and the remaining five brigades also suffered heavy casualties, and now they were divided and surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and some of them were surrounded by the Dragon River under Baiyu Mountain in the north of the railway, and became the slaughter object of the heavy firepower of the Eighth Route Army; Part of the military port that was divided and surrounded by the south of the railway was also the target of the Eighth Route Army.

The location of Major General Yokoji is at the military port south of the railway, which is the wharf and is unobstructed. Major General Yokoji could only order the remaining soldiers to lie down and shoot to stop the rushing Eighth Route Army.

The fierce Major General Yokoji had two things that he didn't expect, one was that he didn't expect that his idea of joining forces with the Marines would not be realized. Second, he didn't expect the Eighth Route Army's tactics to be five or eight gates, which was far beyond his imagination. In particular, the Eighth Route Army's use of explosives bags opened his eyes. These Eighth Route Army, instead of carrying explosives bags to blast at close range, used firearms to drop explosives packages and dropped them from a distance. Not to mention sticking to the courtyard, even holding the hill and blocking it, the soldiers were blown up by the explosives bag and bled out, where can they still hold the position!

Major General Yokoji did not know that there were two ways for the Eighth Route Army to drop explosive packs, one was to launch flying thunder cannons, and the other was to hang explosive packs on mortar shells and shoot them. Moreover, the explosives bag was also filled with iron nails and wires, which were extremely lethal. The little devil is either blown up by the dynamite bag or shocked to death by the dynamite bag, and it is impossible to survive at all.

Another group of explosives flew from the sky, exploded when they landed, and threw the Japanese soldiers who were lying down and shooting high, and fell down again, leaving the ground covered in blood. Major Yokoji was also shocked by the air wave of the explosion.

Major General Henglu lay on the ground, his buttocks pouted high, and he lamented in his heart: "Here it is again, damn the Eighth Route Army, where did you get so many explosive bags, it is really unconscionable!" Amaksu, manifest your spirits, and let out a tsunami and swallow up this barbaric Eighth Route Army in the sea! ”

Amaterasu will naturally not manifest himself, and the desperate Major General Yokoji actually ordered to contact the heavy artillery brigade and order the heavy artillery brigade to fire on the battlefield, and he will die with the Eighth Route Army.

This extremely vicious order was not conveyed to the heavy artillery brigade, because Major General Yokoji's radio operator and radio station had been blown up by the shells and explosives packs of the Eighth Route Army at any time. As long as his banner soldiers dare to stand up straight and say the flag, they will become the target of the Eighth Route Army, and they will die very quickly!

If Lieutenant General Kobayashi and Noda Osa had the courage to burn jade like Major General Yokoji, it is very likely that the Japanese heavy artillery brigade would have used indiscriminate coercion and crippled the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army with heavy artillery, at least causing heavy losses. It's just that Vice Admiral Kobayashi and Noda Osa are both naval officers, and the navy is a technical branch, and they are not as fanatical as army officers, and under normal circumstances, they can't do the kind of work that the army is accustomed to using to die together.

Under the continuous blow of explosives and shells, Major General Yokoji and his subordinates were either killed or wounded, and some shrewd soldiers crawled in the pile of dead people and pretended to be dead dogs, after all, it is better to be alive than dead!

By the time the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army shouted and pounced, Major General Yokoji was already bleeding and lying on the ground, and only his epaulettes and identity badges could prove who he was. As for Vice Admiral Kobayashi, he was a little unlucky, and just before he had time to stab his war knife in the abdomen, the Eighth Route Army attacked his fortress headquarters, drilled several bloody holes in his forehead with bullets, and was also killed.

The battle for Lushun came to an end with the annihilation of the main force of the Japanese garrison and the main force of the marines, Zuo Ye immediately reported to Liu Yimin and Zhao Shan that the main force of the Lushun defenders had been annihilated, and the campaign concept of eliminating the main force of the Japanese army outside the fortifications was realized, and the 22nd Brigade would be in one go to capture the key points of the Japanese army in Lushun and liberate Lushun!
