Since the French attacked the Great Fortress of Borodino, it was probably not before they had seen so many dead bodies piled up in such a small space. The dead bodies of the Japanese are very ugly because their skin turns green, giving them a very unnatural appearance. None of the dead bodies were intact, and in the piles of shrapnel and broken knives, there were fragments of limbs and skeletons everywhere. (Baltrite)

In the Japanese army's several strong attacks, the 203 Heights have always been the target of the assault, no matter how many soldiers the Japanese army died, they did not waver in the slightest Nogi Noshinori's will to continue the attack, even if his second son Nogi Honori was killed, in the words of Nogi Noshinori: "The encircled Russian army died one less than one, but the Japanese army can replenish as much as they want." ”

At this moment, the 203 Highlands has gathered great attention from both sides.

"Akutagawa-kun, I've heard that the high ground in front of me has lost a lot of imperial warriors in the past few days." The firelight reflected the appearance of two typical Japanese junior officers, one of whom said to the officer to his left.

"Yes, Watanabe-kun, more than half of the 38th Wing has warriors who sacrificed their lives for the emperor alone," said the officer known as Akutagawa-kun with some sighs.

"But Akutagawa-kun, I heard that the Russian defenders on this high ground are very capable of fighting." The officer named Watanabe said to Akutagawa-kun on the side.

"Hmph, that's just an excuse made up by the incompetence of the 38th Wing, how can the warriors of my Great Japanese Empire not be able to take a small piece of high ground under the light of the Emperor and Amaterasu?" Akutagawa-kun said with some anger, his words full of dissatisfaction with the 38th Wing.

As a warrior of the Empire, he couldn't even take a high ground, and it was a shame for the Third Army to suffer more than half of the casualties.

After Akutagawa-kun finished speaking, he continued: "In my opinion, the people of the 38th Wing are not worthy of being soldiers of the empire at all. ”

"Akutagawa-kun is right, the 38th Wing does have a negative imperial grace, tomorrow let our 37th Wing let them see what the warriors of the empire are."

Watanabe-kun said proudly after listening to Akutagawa-kun's words.

After Watanabe-kun finished speaking, Akutagawa-kun on the side also put his arm around Watanabe-kun's shoulder and patted him and said: "Watanabe-kun is right, let those Tsarist Russia know that the warriors of the empire have not failed. ”

In the opinion of Akutagawa-kun and Watanabe-kun, if their 37th wing attacked it, it would definitely be successful.

Before the Japanese army attacked the 203 heights, the Russian army had only two artillery batteries stationed on the hill, and there was an infantry trench on the heights, as well as several bunkers and other temporary fortifications, and there was a barbed wire fence in front of the skirmishers.

In addition, there is a second line of skirmishers, although the terrain in which it is located is favorable, but it does not have much use value, the biggest flaw of this position is that there is a large dead angle area on the left flank, after the end of the Russo-Japanese War Jinzhou Nanshan Campaign, the Russian army hurriedly equipped 2 150 mm cannons and rapid-fire guns in the temporary fortifications, and the 5th Siberian Blocking Regiment of the Russian Army was garrisoned here, and the commander was Colonel Tretziyanov.

After the Japanese launched a general offensive in September 1904, the Russian army further strengthened the fortifications of Heights 203; These fortifications consisted of a deep trench with two peaks in the environment, a chain of fortifications with deep inner trenches dug on the peaks, and a battery with artillery on the left peak.

The battery was also a permanent fortification, with a dark trench communicating with the field company and a multi-faceted fort on the left peak, and a bunker on the rear slope for the reserves. There is no barbed wire fence in front of the Yamane Ring Trench and between the left multi-sided fort and the deer rock of the Yamane Ring Trench.

In addition, in addition to the above fortifications and multi-sided forts, the Russian army also built a spacious concealment department by blasting on the slope, and at the same time, in order to solve the draft problem of the 203 heights, a special pumping station was built that was not found on other positions, which is enough to prove how much the Russian command attaches importance to the 203 heights.

The next day, the 37th Wing had been assembled and was ready to attack the 203rd Heights.

When the wing commander led the soldiers to rush to the 203rd height, Akutagawa-kun and Watanabe-kun also said that this time they would definitely take this high ground, and just after the 37th Wing approached the 203rd height, the Russians also saw the Japanese who were rushing up, and immediately the Russians set up their heavy machine guns and prepared for an artillery attack.

In the past few months, the Russians finally realized that this heavy machine gun was a good thing, so dozens of heavy machine guns were placed on the 203 heights, and when the Japanese were about to rush in front of them, the heavy machine guns suddenly fired an invitation to the Grim Reaper.

Akutagawa-kun and Watanabe-kun, who were still leading the soldiers forward at this moment, didn't care about the heavy machine gun, and simply thought that it was just a weapon, but the two of them then changed this opinion, because the formation of the 37th Wing was too dense, and many soldiers were standing together and rushing forward, and such a dense formation was tantamount to death in front of the heavy machine gun.

So the soldiers who rushed to the front began to fall down in batches, and the soldiers under Akutagawa-kun and Watanabe-kun were also constantly hit by bullets and artillery, at this time Akutagawa-kun and Watanabe-kun understood why the 38th Wing had suffered something during the attack before, resulting in half of the casualties, Akutagawa-kun and Watanabe-kun, who were lying on the ground to avoid bullets, felt the bullets and shells constantly falling around, watching the soldiers lying on the ground dodging the artillery constantly being hit, and the corpses were broken into pieces and scattered everywhere after being hit by the artillery.

Looking at the arm in front of him, Akutagawa-kun knew what the real Shura field was, and in front of the 203 position, Watanabe-kun saw the corpses of the soldiers of the empire piled up in front of the position, but he was still laughing at those wings who couldn't take the 203 heights, at this time Watanabe-kun knew how difficult this 203 heights was, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that his own wing would be wiped out.

Just when Watanabe-kun was still thinking this, His Excellency the Wing Commander, who was rushing to the front, was hit by a sudden cannonball, and the whole person immediately flew up.

After seeing his wing captain die on the spot, the rout of the 37th Wing was unstoppable, and after the 37th Wing slowly retreated, the 203rd Heights ushered in the 35th Wing and the 36th Wing in turn, and these were just the prelude to the bloody battle of the 203rd Heights.

Because of the importance of Highland 203, the Japanese were destined to approach at all costs, and this was only a prelude to making Highland 203 a huge graveyard of flesh and blood in this war.
