As the time began to enter the end of March, the construction of the yarn mill and the arsenal was already on the right path, and the production after completion was only a matter of time, at this time Wang Bin finally really had the time and energy to pay attention to the war.

In March of the 30th year of Guangxu, the Japanese army began to assemble and at the same time the two sides fought for sea supremacy, there was still room for the army to land, for which the Japanese 1st Army was about 30,000 people, more than 100 guns, commanded by General Kuroki Weizhen, first landed in the Korean town of Nampo and marched north.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from landing along the coast of Korea and the Liaodong Peninsula, the Russian army sent some troops to defend: nearly 20,000 people of the "East Manchurian" detachment occupied positions on the right bank of the Yalu River; About 22,000 members of the "South Manchurian" detachment were deployed in the Yingkou Dashiqiao and Haicheng areas, and nearly 30,000 people of the Kwantung detachment were deployed in the Liaodong Peninsula and Lushun areas.

The main force of nearly 30,000 people gathered in the Fengtian area of Liaoyang.

Speaking of the Lushun area, we have to mention that in 1898, Russia leased Lushun and Dalian from the Qing government as the price of the intervention of the three powers.

Russia connected the Trans-Siberian Railway to Arthur and sent the main force of the Pacific Fleet to Arthur as its base in the Far East.

Lushun has an old-fashioned fortress built by China in the past.

The Russians further transformed it into a modern and fortified fortress.

Initially, there was even a proposal to build permanent fortifications in the Golden State, but it was delayed due to financial problems and opposition from useless theorists.

In 1901, the proposal of the then Minister of War Kuropatkin was cut in half and decided to be built as a construction plan.

Construction of the first phase of the project soon began, which was expected to be completed in 1909, during which time the war broke out. After the halving of the expenditure, due to the reduction of the land defense line, there were some weak links, such as standing on the high ground in front of the main line of defense to overlook the main line of defense, and the outside of the main line of defense to shell the city and the port.

However, it is still a modern fortified fortress, with a large number of modern pillboxes and batteries as the main body, and the gaps are supplemented by temporary pillboxes, walls and field positions, and it is surrounded by barbed wire. Particular attention was paid to the sea direction, and a number of batteries were built.

At the time of the war, the fortifications of Lushun had not yet been completed.

Although the batteries in the sea direction have been almost completed, the land direction has not been completely completed.

Lieutenant General Smirnov, who was experienced in the defense of the fortress, was also dispatched as the commander of the fortress. (is a relatively incompetent guy)

After Smirnov took office, the reinforcement project progressed rapidly, and the quality was greatly improved, especially after the completion of the permanent pillboxes on the main line of defense, many temporary pillboxes, batteries and field positions were temporarily added, and the forward pillboxes at the 203 heights, the Great Gushan and Xiaogushan were also intensified, and they were equipped with heavy artillery and a large number of machine guns.

In addition, nearly 30,000 more people are being assembled in South Ussuri and Vladivostok. Reinforcements from the Russian hinterland are arriving.

The situation on land is quite tense, but on the sea the Russian army has some advantages.

In early March, the new commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet, Stepan Osipovi Makarov, took office and took a series of urgent measures to strengthen the operations of the Arthur fleet.

First, he decided to lay mines along the coast of the Liaodong Peninsula to prevent the landing of Japanese troops and threaten the Arthur base from behind.

At the same time, it improved the defense of Port Arthur, stepped up the repair of damaged ships, regularly sent fleets to the sea, and strengthened combat readiness training.

He also ordered the Vladivostok fleet to actively attack the Japanese sea lines of communication in the Sea of Japan in order to distract the Japanese pressure on Arthur.

These positive measures made the Japanese side have no choice but to allocate a part of their forces for defense for a while, and the pressure on Lushun has been greatly reduced for a while.

At the same time, some high-ranking members of the Russian army believed that it was necessary to go on the defensive for the time being, and wait until the local forces had formed a multiple-fold advantage over the Japanese army before launching a counteroffensive.

This strategy was a strategy that was very much in line with the situation at the time, but it was considered by many to be too conservative in later generations.

However, the top brass of the Russian army did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the army under their command had begun to decline significantly.

In particular, the quality of these officers was also declining, and their opponents, the Japanese, were in a period of rising military strength at this time.

To give such an example, stationed on the opposite side of the left bank of the Yalu River is the "East Manchurian" detachment of the Russian army.

The East Manchurian detachment was commanded by Lieutenant General Zasulich.

With almost 20,000 men and 62 guns, Zasulic has been holding positions for one and a half months, but has not strengthened the fortifications.

The troops were scattered on a wide frontage, and there were countless chests in the direction in which the enemy might attack.

Only a long trench was constructed, and almost no camouflage, and about half of the total strength of the reserve was deployed 10 kilometers away, not only the infantry positions were not concealed, but even the artillery positions were completely exposed.

The Fourth Division, which was about 17,000 people when the South Manchurian detachment was stationed in Jinzhou, actually sat back and watched the defeat when the Japanese army attacked Jinzhou, and did not send a single reinforcement.

This can be regarded as a war to a certain level, which is impossible to happen now, but in that era, such an absurd thing happened.

Although this war has just begun, many countries in the international community are already paying attention to this war, and in addition to paying attention to the war, they are paying close attention to the specific situation of both sides and understanding some of the tactics used on the battlefield of both sides.

The tactics summed up in this war will undoubtedly affect the development process of the armies of various countries in the future, after all, there is a large-scale war between the two modern countries of the East and the West, one is the old imperialism and the other is the emerging imperialism.

The outcome of the war between the two countries determined to a considerable extent the dominance of interests in the Far East.

For the outcome of this long war, Wang Bin only hopes that the battle will be more intense than in his previous life, and for this reason, Wang Bin has always provided as much as he can for Russia's arms demand.

As soon as he thought that he had successively provided nearly 50 Makqin heavy machine guns to the Russian side, Wang Bin was very much looking forward to how many casualties these heavy machine guns would cause to the Japanese army.

The Japanese army began to attack in a dense formation, while the Russian defenders continued to fire with heavy machine guns, but to no avail, leaving only corpses in the ground.

In this way, when the Japanese army finally completes the established policy, how many casualties will it have compared to the previous life?

Fifty thousand or more?

If it is said that Mukden was not taken because of too many casualties, then the only way to face both sides is peace talks.

But now Wang Bin is most concerned about that no matter what the changes are in the future, he must make it change, as for what changes?

Naturally, the more chaotic the better, and only in this way can the situation in the Far East be muddy.
