After Cui Fugui's side completed the selection, the selection of the other camps was also over.

This selection really made Wang Bin a little unexpected, although he had long known that this selection would inevitably be a battle for the dragon and the tiger, and many people with unique skills would emerge.

But Wang Bin didn't expect that there would be many soldiers who could be called "soldiers kings" in later generations.

In the next few days, the selection of the soldiers was officially over, and all that remained was for Wang Bin to decide what these selected soldiers should learn.

From the very beginning, Wang Bin established the "141 Task Force" with the idea of establishing special forces, so the training methods of these non-commissioned officers are also close to the general training methods of later generations.

The first is to strengthen the physical strength of these soldiers, improve their fighting ability for a second time, and after these trainings, the next step is to teach them how to survive in the wild, simple camouflage and assassination, intelligence detection, and some language learning.

Just when Wang Bin was still trying his best to empty his mind to think about how to strengthen the combat effectiveness of these selected soldiers, the Russo-Japanese War also entered the white heat, and a battle called the most tragic battle in this war and the battle for Lushun, known as the flesh grinder, kicked off the bloody curtain.

The Battle of Arthur was a land battle in the Russo-Japanese War.

In order to seize the home port of the Russian Pacific Fleet, the Japanese Army surrounded it, and finally captured the Port of Arthur on the Liaodong Peninsula of the Qing Dynasty, and the battle lasted for a total of five months, which was the longest battle in the Russo-Japanese War.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Shunjun Port was widely regarded as the first fortress in the Far East.

The Qing government was the first to build fortifications at Lushunkou as a maintenance base for the Beiyang Fleet, but it was such the first fortress in the Far East In the Sino-Japanese War in 1894, the Japanese army only spent a few days under the leadership of Nogi Noshinori to conquer Lushunkou at a very small cost.

However, in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters was not prepared for the rigors of the campaign, which led to the Japanese army under Nogi Noshinori paying a heavy price in casualties.

The Battle of Arthur was also the world's first large-scale siege of a modern fortress, and is widely regarded as an early rehearsal of the trench warfare of World War I 10 years later.

The two sides put a large number of advanced weapons into the battlefield, such as heavy 28-centimeter howitzers, rapid-fire howitzers, Maxim machine guns, grenades, and radio equipment.

The defenders built a fortified fortress consisting of barbed wire, machine guns, and artillery positions, which for a time effectively deterred the attackers' attacks and inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese army, which was attacked by a sea of people.

At this moment, the Russian defenders in Arthur are: 41,780 Russian troops including the 4th Infantry Division of East Siberia led by Lieutenant General Fock, the 7th Division of Kontrachenko, and 12,000 sailors of the Pacific Fleet.

At the time of the war, the Russian army had 679 artillery pieces and hundreds of heavy machine guns, as well as more than 300,000 rounds of artillery shells.

At Arthur were the ships of the 1st Pacific Detachment and part of the ships of the Siberian District Fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Stark (7 armored ships, 9 cruisers, 3 of which were old, 24 mine-strike ships, 4 gunboats, 2 mine-laying ships, 2 destroyer cruisers).

On the Japanese side, the 3rd Army of the Army, including the 1st Division, the 9th Division and the 11th Division, the 1st Brigade, the 4th Brigade, and the 2nd Field Artillery Brigade, had 48,000 men and 386 artillery pieces.

In June, Nogi Noshinori only carried out a tentative attack on Lushun, but there was no substantial progress, and it was not until around July that Nogi Noshinori officially launched an attack on Lushun under the pressure of the military headquarters.

But even after the offensive began, there were some small fights in the first few days, and there was no substantial progress.

Of course, this is mainly because of the poor logistics supply of the Japanese side, the Japanese army is limited to the limited capacity of the sea supply line, and it is simply unable to transport a large number of logistics supplies to the front line in a limited time, and the Russian army is not prepared for long enough, but before the war, the Russian army still purchased more than 100 heavy machine guns and more than a dozen artillery pieces and a large amount of ammunition and concrete from Wang Bin.

In particular, under Wang Bin's reminder, the Russian army strengthened the construction of the fortress before the war, and also paid a certain amount of attention to the 203 heights, strengthened the original defensive force by half, and was also equipped with some small-caliber artillery and a batch of heavy machine guns.

The Japanese side had some advantages in heavy artillery, so both Japan and Russia had their own advantages.

On June 26, the Japanese began an offensive, and after July 30, they approached the fortress and began to besiege it.

Prior to this, the condition of the fortifications in Arthur had improved considerably by the efforts of Kondratenko and other Russian progressive officers (of course, some of them by Wang Bin): trenches and infantry bunkers had been excavated in the vicinity of the forts, batteries and multi-sided forts and in the middle between them, high-voltage power grids had been installed, and application mines had been laid.

Due to the threat to Lushun, the Russian high command took measures to rescue the ship. On 23 June, the detachment attempted to rush out of the harbor and sail for Vladivostok, but after encountering the Japanese fleet, Wittgeft did not dare to engage and returned to base.

In fact, to tell the truth, Nogi Noshinori's Third Army only needs to besiege Lushun all the time, because the Russian army has no way to replenish its daily consumption after losing supplies, and only needs to besiege without attacking, and after a period of siege, the Russian army is afraid that it will fall into civil strife.

But Nogi Noshinori was unable to do this, because the Russian Pacific Fleet was about to set off from the Baltic Sea to the Far East, if it was so stupidly besieged and not attacked, once the Second Pacific Fleet and the First Asian Fleet converged, and the Russian army relied on Port Arthur, an excellent port, the Japanese Navy would have no advantage at all, which was equivalent to saying that the sea power was surrendered to the Russians.

At that time, it will no longer be against one fleet, but two fleets after the convergence, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

At that time, as long as the Russian navy and the Japanese navy continue to stalemate, and the Russians have enough numerical superiority in the fleet to cut off the supply line located in the western waters of Korea, the Japanese army, which has already entered Liaodong, will have no other choice but to retreat into Korea, and if it does not retreat, the Japanese army can only choose to wait for death slowly.

In fact, even the Japanese could not believe that their side would fight one of the most disparities in the history of naval warfare at sea: the Japanese Combined Fleet used the T-shaped method to annihilate the Russian Pacific Fleet (Battle of Tsushima).

Therefore, for the Japanese now, the victory on land is not important, the most important thing is to win the victory on the sea, as long as the victory of the navy defeats the Russian navy, then the Japanese side will be able to win a decisive victory.
