517 Miserable (the seventh update for the alliance leader of the 110 brothers of Cheng Jiao)
The shelling of the "Vladivostok coalition" in the European style continued all night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The three artillery regiments fired more than 50,000 shells and carried out fire strikes on 17 Japanese forts.
This is not enough, there are a total of six battery groups in the north of Lushun, and there are more than 40 batteries or pillbox groups.
These batteries or pillboxes were built on higher ground, and the tank engines of the "Vladivostok Coalition Army" were now insufficient to launch an attack on these batteries.
In the Russo-Japanese War 15 years ago, the Japanese army paid the price of 110,000 casualties in order to overcome the Russians' defense of Arthur.
After more than ten years of painstaking management, the scale of the current Arthur battery is even better than in 1904, and if the "Vladivostok Allied Army" wants to attack when the tanks cannot play a role, it is conceivable how much price it will pay.
In the early morning, the smoke did not dissipate because of the rising sun, but the atmosphere became more and more tense.
The plane sent by Xie Rundong to help in the war finally came.
The first fighters to fly to Arthur were fighters sent by the Northern Expeditionary Fleet, which were more agile and faster than the huge and clumsy bombers, and naturally more difficult to hit.
Cheng Debai was right, the Japanese did prepare anti-aircraft firepower, they mounted the Taisho three-year heavy machine gun on a wooden stake, and then carried out anti-aircraft fire.
Although it is indeed a little rudimentary, it can barely be regarded as an anti-aircraft weapon, and it will pose some threat to the aircraft, but regrettably, even if it is modified with heavy machine guns, the number is always too small, and the scale cannot be formed, and the threat to the aircraft is quite limited.
Japan is a country that lacks resources, and the only resources it has are used by the Japanese for the navy, and the equipment level of the army has never been able to improve.
In the First World War, heavy machine guns shined, and the Japanese also saw the importance of heavy machine guns, so the War Department made an expansion plan in the middle of the World War, which stipulated that a Japanese brigade should be equipped with a machine gun squadron with eight heavy machine guns.
If this plan can become a reality, a division of the Japanese army will have 96 heavy machine guns, although this cannot catch up with the level of nearly 1,000 machine guns in a division of the US army and nearly 700 in a division of the French army, it can also greatly strengthen the firepower of the Japanese army.
Regrettably, however, although the world war has been over for a short time, this plan is still on paper and has never been able to become a reality.
At present, the Japanese army has less than 20 heavy machine guns in one division, and even in an important port like Lushun, all the machine guns of the three divisions and the coastal defense forces combined are less than 200, and it is really wishful thinking to intercept Lanfang's air force with this kind of firepower density.
These 200 heavy machine guns are the whole number, and some of them are to be installed on the batteries, ready to deal with the "Vladivostok coalition army" that may attack at any time, and it is impossible to use all of them for air defense.
The most important thing is that these Taisho three-year heavy machine guns are fed with 50 bullet plates, and this ammunition must be assisted by the deputy shooter to ensure the smooth supply of ammunition, and even if the deputy shooter only has a little strength, it will also affect the shooter's aiming.
Lan Fang's fighter jets are quite powerful even if they attack the ground, each of Lan Fang's fighters has two machine guns on them, and this wave of fighters has a total of 12, so although the battle has not yet begun, the balance of victory has begun to tilt in the direction of Lan Fang.
As the first fighter began to dive, the ground anti-aircraft fire opened fire one after another, and for a moment, the chain of tracer bullets seemed to strangle the light little thing, but the fighter simply pulled up, escaped from the seemingly impermeable fire net, and flew straight into the blue sky.
While this fighter was diving, the other fighters were circling in the sky, and they waited for anti-aircraft fire from the ground to open fire before looking for their respective targets.
Without communication, eleven fighters dived into the anti-aircraft fire on the ground from all angles, and at this moment, no one noticed them at all.
This was the first time that the Japanese army fought with aircraft, and it was also the first time that the Japanese army conducted an air defense operation, and it was impossible for the Japanese to arrange the distribution of firepower, nor could they pay attention to mutual cover.
Just as the eleven fighters began to dive, almost all the machine gun shooters were still chasing the diving fighter just now, trying to shoot it down and make a good start.
At this moment, more Grim Reaper swooped down from the sky, roaring like a goshawk catching a hare on the grassland.
Puff puff......
Knowing that the dust stirred up by the machine-gun bullet fire appeared on the ground next to the shooters, these machine-gun shooters realized that danger was coming.
It was too late to turn the muzzle, and although almost all the machine gun shooters were desperately trying to turn their guns, at least eight heavy machine guns were still firing after the fighters had completed their dive.
It is not easy to train a pilot, but it is not easy to train a heavy machine gun shooter, especially in an army like the Japanese army, which is extremely stingy with bullets, and it is even more difficult for them to train a qualified heavy machine gun shooter.
Before the commander of the ground air defense forces felt sorry for the jade shatter of the heavy machine gun shooter, the plane in the sky came again......
Well, it was a real torment for the Japanese army, whose lives were threatened at any time.
But soon, they will know how lucky those machine-gun shooters who died in the air raid just now.
There was already a roar in the sky, and the sound was getting louder and louder, this was a formation of bombers coming.
Xie Rundong released all the bombers, a total of 92, all of which were loaded with solidified ******, 50 kilograms each, and each plane was loaded with 14 bombers.
Compared to fighter jets, bombers are indeed cumbersome, but when it comes to ground attack effects, twelve fighters combined are not as good as one bomber.
The Japanese certainly did not get the relevant information about the port of Keelung, otherwise, it is estimated that the Japanese would rather withdraw into the mountains of Goryeo to fight guerrillas than choose to stick to Lushun, and soon, when the first bomber dropped incendiary bombs, the Japanese paid the price for their lack of attention to communications.
Lan Fang's bombers are all horizontal bombers, and dive bombers have not yet been studied, and when the Japanese army saw Lan Fang's bombers flying over Lushun in a level flight state, some Japanese soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
No dive is good, no dive is good......
What's that, though?
Before the Japanese could see what the small black dots were that were rapidly falling, a cloud of flames from hell engulfed everyone within the blast range.
When these bombers were dispatched, Xie Rundong gave the order that Lushun would become another Keelung, so although Lushun was the land of the Republic of China, these pilots had no scruples, they were only responsible for bombing, not for dealing with the aftermath.
With the experience of using solidification ****** on a large scale in Keelung City, Lanfang's bomber pilots still made certain arrangements before the war, such as which bombers were responsible for the batteries, which bombers were responsible for bombing the barracks outside the city, and which bombers were responsible for the Japanese ships anchored in Port Arthur.
The consequence of a plan was that it was extremely efficient, and when these bombers flew over Arthur, the sky behind them was already covered in smoke.
There were still bombers that flew back, because of the efforts of the "Vladivostok coalition" last night, some of the bombers responsible for bombing the batteries lost their targets, so they returned to Lushun, and as they did in Keelung, they found a random target and threw the solidified ****** down.
It's still different from Keelung, when in Keelung, bombers dropped bombs in the port, while in Lushun, several bombers threw solidified ****** into the city.
Of course, the bomber pilots explained afterwards that they didn't see clearly because the smoke was obstructing their view.
But what it looks like, I'm afraid only they know.
Anyway...... There are no more Chinese in Lushun City, and if a Japanese expatriate is injured by mistake, it can only be a pity.
"Well, do we have to attack?" Wang Dingshan looked at Lushun, who seemed to be burning in the sky, with a hesitant expression.
"Of course you want to attack, can you guarantee that all the Japanese troops in Lushun are dead? Even if all the dead are dead, it's not bad to let the brothers go to the barbecue. "Liu Zizheng must see it with his own eyes to feel happy.
"Well, attack, attack, brothers, it's time to get started......" Wang Dingshan shouted and jumped on his "bulldog".
And in the distance, the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion led by Xu Sheng was ready to attack.
As a well-defended fortress, Lushun is not so easy to attack, just on the way to Lushun, the Japanese laid a huge area of minefields, the "Vladivostok coalition army" wants to attack the fortress of Lushun, how to pass through these minefields is a big problem.
At such a time, it is certainly not possible to send sappers to sweep mines in front, which is tantamount to sending sappers to die.
When the Japanese army planted mines, it would definitely leave a predetermined passage, which would not only facilitate the Japanese army to send out their own troops, but also facilitate the guidance of the Lanfang army to the place they wanted, and that kind of place was often the crossfire coverage point of the Japanese pillbox.
If it weren't for the bombers, the "Vladivostok Coalition" would have had to pay a terrible price to capture Arthur, but when part of the batteries were in ruins and part of the batteries were covered in fire and smoke, the intensity of the attack of the "Vladivostok Coalition" was really about the same as that of a march.
Along a road that was obviously not destroyed, the "Vladivostok Allied Army" successfully reached the edge of the anti-tank trenches, and Lan Fang's army had accumulated enough experience in dealing with anti-tank trenches, and soon the tank troops successfully passed through the anti-tank trenches, and bypassed several hills with forts, Xu Sheng finally came to the core area of Lushun.
"Withdraw it......" This was Xu Sheng's first sentence after seeing Lushun City.
