Section 93: Decisive Battle 203

Although he did not find distress information in outer space through the space-time singularity, he received other information, such as a probe released by the spacecraft at that time was suspended in the earth's orbit at this time, becoming an inconspicuous space junk.

After restoring the authority, you can continue to let the spaceship dig for gold, but Yang Chao has waited for so long, from last year to now, not to dig gold, but to have more important things to do, in addition to using the scientific and technological capabilities of this starship, this matter really can't be done.

"How long did it take to build this thing?"

Yang Chao opened his watch and called up a picture, which was the zeppelin scanned on the dock in Hamburg.

This painting is not just a painting, it represents a complete set of drawings stored in the watch.

Soon Yang Chao saw a pattern of a zeppelin appear on the very large display screen, and then the decomposition drawings next to it also unfolded in turn.

"With the current energy level, it will take three days at the earliest!"

Hearing this answer, Yang Chao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, three days should be enough, and he was afraid that Lao Jiu would give him ten days and a half a month, so that the daylily would be cold.

"Wait. I need an airship that is very strong, at least bulletproof. Well, I think the spaceship shell is very suitable, and I don't know if I can build it. ”

The shell of this spacecraft, the black shell, looks unsightly, but it is very light, this is a very complex composite material of multi-space structure, but the strength is very large, in the universe, as long as it does not hit the flying meteorite head-on, it will generally not be fatally damaged.

Such a material is simply pediatric when used for bulletproof.

"Yes, at the current energy level, it will take five days."

It's only five days, Yang Chao breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that this level of technology would take a lot of time, but for robots, making this material is not much different from manufacturing the aluminum shell of the airship, as the spaceship material of the shell, for this spaceship, it is not a high-tech thing, and the supporting structure material of the spaceship is much more difficult to build than the shell.

Crucially, because the hull of a ship can be hit at any time during a space expedition and needs to be repaired, there is equipment dedicated to the production of this material on the spacecraft, which is infinitely faster than simply using the separation power.

"Five days should be in time. But you calculate, the load situation. ”

Soon the data of the airship after the application of the new material was displayed on the screen.

It is 140m long, weighs 60 tons, and has a deadweight of 50 tons/32.2 tons/23.3 tons.

Yang Chao stared at the load at a glance, and three data appeared, 50 tons refers to not filling any gas, and the next two data are filled with hydrogen and helium, and the airship weighs 60 tons, this is because of the use of spacecraft shell materials, if the same thickness of aluminum is used, the weight will reach about 120 tons.

The volume in the spacecraft's gas cylinder has reached 200,000 cubic meters, even if it is filled with hydrogen, it has to weigh more than ten tons, and helium has more than 20 tons.

Yang Chao didn't expect that after changing the material of the airship shell for safety reasons, there would be an unexpected gain, that is, the load capacity was greatly increased.

Staying in the spaceship all the time, the outside of the spaceship can be pressed into a piece of paper in the huge water pressure, the metal tentacles with the thickness of an arm continue to drill to the bottom of the sea, crushing and sucking all kinds of ores on the seabed into the body of the spaceship, and after various melts and combinations, it becomes the shell material of the spaceship.

When the collection work was over, the spacecraft immediately returned to the big stone house, and while starting to replenish solar energy, it helped Yang Chao process the airship, and continued to send search and rescue signals to the singularity on the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, once the space-time bridge is established, there is no need to stay near the singularity at close range, only when impacting, you need to gather the maximum power to choose near the singularity, otherwise Yang Chao will not be able to come back.

In the big stone room, more than 300 robotic arms of the spaceship are working, and pieces of processed black material are unfolded by the robotic arms, and then cut and docked, slowly forming the cylindrical structure of the airship shell.

At the same time, the airship cabin has also been processed, and even the gasoline motor is exactly the same as the original Zeppelin.

Thinking of the engine, Yang Chao suddenly thought that he had forgotten to buy gasoline.

However, Rockefeller has a foreign company in Yantai, but it is mainly engaged in kerosene and diesel business, kerosene is used to light lamps, diesel is used for heating in winter, gasoline, Yang Chao does not seem to have seen anyone driving a car in Yantai, so it is really difficult to say whether there is gasoline.

Thinking of this, Yang Chao couldn't wait, and while the spaceship was building an airship, Yang Chao had to hurry up to find oil.

Without gas, the airship can't be driven, how can you go to a duel with the Japanese.

The Japanese army, led by Nogi Noshinori, had already begun to launch three strong attacks on the famous 203 Heights, all of which failed, with the loss of more than 30,000 people.

At first, the Japanese military was concerned that the removal of Nogi Noshinori would make this product commit suicide in shame, so it kept holding back, but it couldn't help it, and couldn't take care of anything else, because if Lushun was not broken as soon as possible, the second fleet of the Russians would arrive.

Once the Russian First and Second Fleets merged, they would compete with the Japanese Navy for sea supremacy twice as strong as the Japanese Combined Fleet, and in that case, almost the entire coast of Japan would be open to the Russians.

So the Japanese transferred General Gentaro Kodama, and in the story that Yang Chao heard, after this guy took over the command of Noshinori Rinogi, he changed the battle plan, and captured the 203 heights with only one strong attack, and then shelled the Russian warships in Port Arthur through the heights, and finally forced Arthur to surrender.

Yang Chao had to rush to where in an airship before Gentaro Kodama completed the transfer and relaunched the attack, and then helped the Russians.

"203 is the key, not only related to the overall situation of the entire Manchurian War, related to the possession of the imperial navy's naval supremacy, but also related to the issue of life and death of the empire!"

In the headquarters of the Japanese army in Lushun, Gentaro Kodama said earnestly.

But the generals of Nogi Noshinori had a chill on their faces, obviously not in such a good mood.

He couldn't be in a good mood, he fought for four months, more than 40,000 people died, and no progress has been made so far, but Kodama Gentaro came, with an order from the Manchurian Army Headquarters, to take over the command of Nogi Noshinori, this is not to say that his battle was a complete failure, and it is completely meaningless to die so many people, this is a complete denial of him.

Is there anything more humiliating than this militaristic and bushido ideology of a general who is deeply rooted in his bones?

Just ten years earlier, Nogi had fought here against Li Hongzhang's Huai army, and they had finally succeeded in capturing Lushun with just over 200 casualties.

"Don't hesitate! I beg you to let me step in the command. I have the right to remove any person if necessary. ”

Gentaro Kodama said. His tone was still very polite, because as soon as he arrived here, he learned that Nogi Noshinori's second son had just died, and the Nogi family was dead.

"You're here to dismiss me, I've been waiting for this day, and I'm welcome. But I ask to personally lead the charge tonight, and I ask for your permission! ”

"No, I can't let you die."

"Kodama! I'm also alone! ”

Nogi Noshinori finally got out of control, he asked to lead the team, and he did commit suicide, but it was definitely not a negative statement, but he wanted to die as a soldier, he wanted to die in battle, like his two sons.

was relieved of command, and went back alive like this, what kind of face did he have.

Gentaro Kodama was also anxious, and stood up suddenly: "Nogi, I don't have time to worry about your feelings, I must win this battle immediately!" ”

Kodama Gentaro has long been impatient, this cargo has been storming for several months, tens of thousands of people have died, so far, several peripheral positions have been captured, the Russian army has built hundreds of pillboxes and batteries here, but Nogi Noshinori has not even captured any of the main batteries.

"Lushun must be occupied as soon as possible, and Lucia's Second Fleet is closing in on the Empire. The real battlefield of the Imperial Army is not here, our real goal is to fight a decisive battle with Lucia's main army. What the Lucia Army fears most now is you and the Third Army, which has been storming Arthur. Capture this place as soon as possible, then wave your army north! Decisive battle!!! ”

Gentaro Kodama finally persuaded Nogi Noshinori, he was very eloquent and able to capture people's psychology, he made Nogi Noshinori realize that Lushun was not the end, it was just a beginning, and made Nogi Noshinori feel that he still had hope to be ashamed.

Kodama Gentaro's approach is very correct, Nogi Noshinori and his officers and soldiers have been fighting hard here for several months, and tens of thousands of people have died, if he dismisses the commander as soon as he comes and forcibly intervenes in the command, it is inevitable that these officers and soldiers will have complaints, because it is not only Nogi who has been denied, but all of them, as well as those who have died in battle.

By persuading Nogi Noshinori, Gentaro Kodama did not directly take over the command and continued to command through Nogi Noshinori, which not only preserved Nogi Noshinori's honor, but also held the morale of the entire army.

"Now, I'm going to redeploy the artillery—"

Soon Kodama Gentaro convened a military meeting with Nogi Noshinori in a cooperative capacity, and he immediately set about rearranging.

Lushun is surrounded by mountains on three sides, east and west, and the Russian army has built a circle of permanent fortifications of steel and concrete structure around the port, which is the first layer of defense line, and five large fortress groups have been built outside the permanent fortifications, and fortifications have been built in various commanding heights in the mountains.

The Japanese took the northeast and northwest as the main attack directions, and deployed two heavy artillery groups in two directions, the northeast was responsible for attacking the No. 2 fortress group and the Eagle's Nest Heights, and the northwest was attacking the No. 4 and No. 5 fortress groups and the attached heights, including the 203 heights.

However, the Japanese and Russian troops were separated by mountains, so they could only be blindly fired, and although the shells could threaten Port Arthur, they could not be aimed at all, and never hit any warship.

"The heavy artillery on the northeast front, transferred to Mt. Takasaki (northwest), must be in place within twenty-four hours."

In response to the Japanese army's dispersion of firepower, Kodama Gentaro immediately made adjustments and demanded that the heavy artillery group from the northeast be hit to the northwest.

But immediately some generals objected: "Our army's offensive against Dongjiguan Mountain and Erlong Mountain is suppressed by heavy artillery firepower, and if the heavy artillery is transferred, Lucia's army will definitely counterattack." ”

Kodama Gentaro nodded and said, "The reason why our army is attacking so hard is because the enemy army has fortresses to cover, if they are willing to come out to fight us, wouldn't it be good?" ”

A rhetorical question left the general speechless.

But there are also officers who expressed difficulties: "I am afraid that I will not be able to transfer my position in one day." ”

This is the artillery commander, and it is really a difficult task to bypass the mountains, move the siege artillery of nearly 300 mm caliber to the other side, and lay positions.

"Yes, one day, it's an order! Within twenty-four hours, the transfer of heavy artillery positions had to be completed. ”

Gentaro Kodama did not explain this time, but forced it.

"Heights 203 is a key attack position, and when attacking the heights, all heavy artillery shells are continuously shelled every fifteen minutes to prevent enemy counterattacks and support."

Gentaro Kodama continues to deploy.

Another person was not convinced: "If we continue to shell during the attack, will our attacking soldiers be injured by mistake?" ”

Gentaro Kodama said, "If the enemy wants to fight back, they must also brave our artillery fire. ”

Shelling one's own people is against military principles.

The officer was not convinced: "How can we shoot our own people? ”

Gentaro Kodama said, "This is the real war!" ”

"Obey orders!"

Nogi Noshinori shouted, subdued all the officers, he was the commander of the Third Army, these people were his subordinates, although the attack was not smooth, but Nogi Noshinori showed control was still there, and the prestige was also very high, who let him even have two sons in it.

Yantai really didn't have gasoline storage, so Yang Chao immediately asked the Americans to help send a batch of gasoline from other places, and the American consul came forward to take care of it and quickly arranged the ship, but by the time Yang Chao saw the oil, it had already been four days.

"Are you sure it's going to explode?"

In the Laiwu Arsenal, Yang Chao repeatedly asked the American engineer Johnson.

Johnson told Yang Chao that as long as he opened the insurance, even the hammer would not explode.

In this way, Yang Chao can rest assured, an airship full of cannonballs is still very worrying to pilot.

"You said that if you open the safety and fall from a hundred meters in the air, will it explode?"

Yang Chao asked for confirmation again.

Johnson said, "Absolutely. The premise is that it falls on hard ground, and if it falls into the water, it is not easy to say. ”

Yang Chao nodded.

Let the soldiers pull a hundred shells of 95 howitzers, load them on the ship overnight, and send them to the big stone house early the next morning.

Seeing the mechanical arm constantly moving boxes of shells into the cabin of the airship, Yang Chao's heart has begun to warm up, and he is going to bomb the Japanese tonight, can he not be excited.

At the same time, five barrels of gasoline were also loaded in, and the mailbox was also filled, and Yang Chao's plan was to go directly to Lushun to bomb the Japanese army.

After all, the Japanese army concentrated more than 100,000 troops to attack Lushun, and relied on their own ships to bomb it, whether it could be effective, Yang Chao was still very skeptical, if only he could contact the Russians, I believe that the Russians are very willing to defend Lushun.
