Liu Hua's ruthlessness

As soon as the Kwantung Army Command reinforced nearly 100 combat planes in Wafangdian, they began to be fiercely attacked by the air defense artillery fire of the Northeast Field Army on the ground.

In the end, under the fierce blows of the air defense division and the air defense regiment of the armored corps, a total of four air defense regiments, and nearly 100 large-caliber antiaircraft guns, nearly 100 combat planes sent by the Kwantung Army had to withdraw from the battlefield in a hurry after losing more than half of their combat planes. In this way, the air reinforcement of Wafangdian by the Kwantung Army Command ended in failure.

Without the harassment of the Japanese planes, on the ground, the large-caliber guns that had already raised their black hole muzzles immediately showed their hideous faces. With Liu Hua's order, nearly 100 artillery pieces, almost at the same time, let out an earth-shattering roar against the Japanese positions in the encirclement...

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the artillery units have begun to conduct extended firing at the Japanese positions. Commander Su asked for instructions on whether the 1st Tank Regiment would immediately attack to cover the infantry and launch an attack on the Japanese position in Wafangdian...."Looking at the front of him, he was concentrating, looking at Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief of the battlefield not far away, who had become a battlefield of fire, and the combat staff officer asked loudly.

"Yes, convey my order, order the tank regiment to attack immediately, cover the guard division, rush into the Japanese position, and annihilate all the Japanese troops in Wafangdian..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."

Two hours later, the operational staff officer appeared in front of Liu Hua again, and then, with the joy of victory, he reported excitedly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, after half an hour of fierce fighting. Under the cover of our 1st tank regiment, the guard division successfully broke through the Japanese city fortifications and entered the county seat. At present, the guard division is taking battalions and companies as units to disperse and clear the remnants of the Kwantung Army in the city, and completely annihilate all the Japanese troops in Wafangdian..."

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed. When the operational staff officer appeared in front of Liu Hua again, a kilometer away, in the Wafangdian area, the sound of gunfire that had been resounding for several hours had slowly stopped.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Commander Li of the Guard Division, that the remnants of the Wafangdian Kwantung Army have been completely wiped out. The supreme commander of the Japanese army defending Wafangdian, the captain of the Dazuo Wing, has been killed by us. At present, the guard division is cleaning up the battlefield and requesting the next combat order...."The combat staff officer reported with an excited face.

"After a night of rushing operations, and in addition, we have opened the passage to attack Dalian, so it is time for the troops to take a good rest. Immediately convey my order, except for one battalion left behind by the guard division to continue to clean up the battlefield, the remaining troops immediately withdrew from the county town and found a camp on their own to rest and recuperate, so as to replenish their strength for the evening operation. ”

"In addition, I ordered the cavalry battalion directly under the guard division to immediately disperse in squad and platoon units to reconnoiter all the enemy situations around Wafangdian, especially the movements of the Japanese army in the direction of Dalian, and I must reconnoiter clearly. Any movement of the Japanese army was immediately reported to the forward command. "I took a look at the map and saw the current military situation between us and the enemy. After a short period of thought, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua ordered very decisively.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

During the night's rush battle, regardless of whether they had a means of transportation or not in the process of running, every soldier's face showed a tired look. As soon as Liu Hua's order was issued, a deafening sound of sound of sound sounded in the camps of various combat units.

As the minutes and seconds passed, the cavalry scouts sent out also reported all the situations they had detected to the front enemy headquarters one by one at the first time.

At the same time, after receiving an order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Kwantung Army troops, which had just walked out of Dalian for less than three hours, were ready to completely annihilate or block the offensive of the Northeast Field Army under the cover of aircraft. After learning that the air force units that had attacked to reinforce Wafangdian suffered heavy losses and were forced to turn back. Wafangdian has been lost, and all the defending troops have been wiped out after the news. Without any hesitation, the supreme commander of the reinforcements, Lieutenant General Zhongshan, the commander of the division, immediately ordered the troops to return the same way and return to the city of Dalian. ..., however, the Kwantung Army sortie, which returned to the city of Dalian, did not stop and prepared to hold Dalian. Because, in the entire city of Dalian, there are neither strong fortifications nor the protection of city walls. To rely on such a city to block the fierce offensive of the Northeast Field Army is almost impossible.

So, in order to concentrate more troops, protect Port Arthur. The supreme commander of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Nakayama, did not hesitate and directly ordered the troops to abandon Dalian and rush to Lushun. Prepare to hold the last point you occupy, Lushunkou, under the cover of the artillery of the Port Arthur port, with the strong fortifications of the Port Arthur, to block the offensive of the Northeast Field Army ...

Of course, every move of the Japanese army did not hide from the eyes of the cavalry scouts. Just when the defenders of the entire Dalian Kwantung Army had just left the city and were about to go to Wafangdian to set up defenses. One by one, the news of the specific movements of the defending troops in Dalian, Kwantung Province, was transmitted to the headquarters of the former enemy.

After reading the telegram in his hand, Commander Su Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Then, he said to Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua, who also looked contemplative in front of him:

"Commander-in-chief, originally, taking advantage of the disadvantage of the little devils dividing their troops to guard various key cities, we could concentrate our superior forces, give them a break, constantly weaken the living force of the Japanese army, and finally, recapture the Port of Arthur from the hands of the little devils. However, it now seems that this wish cannot be realized. Our opponent must be, to a certain extent, a very difficult commander..."

"Hehe, Commander Su, from this news, you only thought of one aspect that was not good for us. However, another direction in our favor was not thought of. The concentration of the little devil's forces is not a good thing for us? Liu Hua did not answer Su Yu's question, but asked with a mysterious face towards Su Yu in front of him.

"A good thing?" As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Su Yu's face showed a look of doubt.

"Think about it, the little devils are concentrated, and our original battle plan is not available. However, the little devils who concentrated their forces, from another aspect, gave us a chance to annihilate them in one fell swoop. As long as we can find a way, we can eat the little devil in Lushun's mouth in one bite. Not only Lushunkou, but also Dalian and all the surrounding areas, will immediately become our bag...."Liu Hua explained with a smile on his face.

However, Liu Hua's explanation did not make the worried look on Su Yu's face in front of him any less. As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Su Yu still continued to ask rhetorically.

"However, Commander-in-Chief, according to reconnaissance, the total strength of the Japanese army in the entire Lushunkou has reached an astonishing 20,000 men, and it is also equipped with a tank wing and a field heavy artillery wing. What's more, in the process of fighting, the little devil can also get the support of naval guns. Under such circumstances, the limited forces and firepower in our hands are simply not enough to shake the various advantages of the little devils in the Lushunkou area..."

"Commander Su, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. In terms of troops, we are not enough little devils. But in terms of firepower, we have a huge advantage? Liu Hua replied affirmatively, and his face was already shrouded in a thick smile.

"Huh? What are the advantages? Su Yu hurriedly asked.

"The shore defense artillery battalion directly under the headquarters ... The little devil in Lushunkou, although he can get the support of naval artillery. ”

"However, as far as I know, the few warships that stayed at Arthur are all old warships that the little devil naval forces have captured from us. The guns on these warships are not at all an match for the 230-mm large-caliber coastal defense guns in our hands. Therefore, in terms of firepower, the 18 coastal defense guns of the coastal defense artillery battalion directly under the headquarters have an absolute advantage, and they will definitely be able to make the little devils miserable...."Liu Hua replied confidently. …,

Seeing all the thinking Commander Su Yu in front of him, Liu Hua continued to speak: "Commander Su, in addition to having a strong vitality advantage, we also have a huge advantage. You must know that the entire inhabitants of Arthur, because of the massacre in the Russo-Japanese War at that time, were basically all composed of Japanese expatriates. And now, the little devils have gathered in a city where all their inhabitants are gathered, leaving a good target for our artillery units. In the process of shelling, you can fire shells without any scruples, and you don't have to worry about accidentally injuring our own Chinese people...."

"Commander-in-chief, what do you mean...."Hearing this, Su Yu seemed to have thought of something in his mind, followed closely behind, and continued to speak.

"One of the important factors why the Dalian defenders abandoned Dalian and stationed troops in Lushunkou is that Lushunkou has strong fortifications. They can hide inside turtle shells and inflict a lot of damage on our attacking troops. And this time, I'm going to do the opposite, using a dozen or so shore defense guns in our hands to drive the little devils out of their turtle shells. In the end, in our own position, arrange a pocket array for the little devils, let them drill, let them have to come out, fight with us, and come to die..."Liu Hua replied confidently.

Speaking of this, if Su Yu in front of him still can't understand what Liu Hua means. Then, with the title of 'God of War' on his head, he doesn't need to wear it.

For a while, Su Yu's face immediately showed a look of shock. That is, he was shocked by the tactics spoken by the commander-in-chief Liu Hua in front of him. At the same time, I was also shocked by the ruthlessness of the commander-in-chief in front of me. After all, the Japanese expatriates who gathered at Lushunkou with large-caliber coastal defense artillery will definitely pay a very heavy price for casualties.

However, after a few minutes of shock, Su Yu's face showed a relieved expression. After all, the coastal defense artillery bombed not the Chinese, but the Japanese, the Japanese who could be armed by Japan at any time and kill their own people.

And now, he is fighting a national war, and in the national war, he does not need to have any sympathy for the civilians of the enemy country. Because, on the battlefield, such sympathy will not only not be appreciated by the enemy, but will be retaliated by the enemy even more cruel and bloody. The years-long War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has made this battle-hardened veteran deeply understand this truth.

After figuring out everything, Su Yu's face was also shrouded in a murderous aura. Then, with an excited face, he asked rhetorically: "Commander-in-chief, what do you mean by taking advantage of the range advantage of the coastal defense artillery in our hands to shell the mouth of Arthur." And the defenders of Lushunkou, if they want not to be killed directly in their turtle shells by our coastal defense artillery, there is only one way, to launch a counterattack against us and destroy the coastal defense artillery in our hands. And when the time comes, we will be able to concentrate superior forces on the road of the Japanese army's attack, destroy the Japanese troops out of the city little by little, and in the end, weaken the Japanese army's vital force and win the entire battle..."

"Yes, that's it...," Liu Hua replied affirmatively. Then, facing the signal soldier at the door, he ordered loudly: "Communicator, immediately notify the commanders above the regiment level to come to the headquarters for a meeting, hurry up...."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

Under the cover of night, the soldiers who had rested for a day, like ghosts, quickly crossed the city of Dalian, which had no defense, and advanced towards their ultimate target, Lushunkou. Just when the sky was dark, the north of Lushunkou had been surrounded by the Northeast Field Army.

Of course, the movements of the Northeast Field Army outside the city of Lushunkou were also transmitted to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Lushunkou at the first time. After reading the latest enemy briefings from various departments in his hands, Lieutenant General Nakayama, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in the city, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. At this moment, the division commander beside him spoke. ..., "Your Excellency Division Commander, it seems that our opponent, the Northeast Field Army, already knows the specific reasons why we retreated to Arthur Pass. Otherwise, they would not have pushed their battle line to a halt just beyond the range of our naval guns. ”

"yes...."Lieutenant General Nakayama nodded in agreement. Then, with a look of excitement on his face, he said with a smile to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, the Northeast Field Army is afraid of our naval artillery. However, this shows even more the correctness of our decision to take the initiative to abandon Dalian and concentrate all our main forces at the Port of Arthur. Think about it, in the next battle, our Kwantung Army of the Japanese Empire will not only have the cover of a large number of fortifications at the Port of Arthur. At the same time, the large-caliber naval guns on several warships parked at the Port of Arthur are also our biggest talismans. And our opponent, the Northeast Field Army, if it wants to attack us, must rush through the charge distance of several kilometers in front of us. And these distances of several kilometers are completely within the range of the guns of our warships. When the time comes, we will let the soldiers of the Northeast Field Army have a good taste of the power of our Imperial Japanese naval artillery. ”

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Division Commander is wise. With the cover of naval guns, large-caliber howitzers in the hands of the Northeast Field Army, as well as medium tanks in their hands, will not be our opponents. It seems that the final victory must belong to the Kwantung Army of our Great Japanese Empire..."The chief of staff patted a little fart and said with a flattering face.

"Yo Xi, order the warships at Lushunkou to be ready to fire artillery at any time to reinforce the army in battle. At the same time, the telegram ordered the front-line combat troops, the Northeast Field Army opposite, to report to the headquarters immediately....all combat units, without an order from the headquarters, forbade anyone to attack for any reason, otherwise, the military law will engage in ......." Lieutenant General Nakayama ordered with a serious face.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise, and he will go and give orders immediately..."

About four kilometers away from Lushun City, in the former enemy headquarters of the Northeast Field Army, the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua, had already followed the first wave of attacking troops, and the armored troops had arrived ahead of schedule. Standing in the temporary headquarters, looking at the getting brighter and brighter outside, Liu Hua asked Su Yu beside him.

"Commander Su, in another hour, it will be dawn. Whether our troops are all hidden under the cover of night. Otherwise, let the enemy discover our plan, even if our shore defense artillery blows them all to death in Arthur City, they will not leave their turtle shells and take the initiative to attack us ...

"Please rest assured that the two regiments of the Guards Division, the Artillery Regiment of the 1st Armored Division, and the 1st Tank Regiment are ready to attack at any time on the path that the little devils must pass. As long as the little devils dare to go out of the city, there is only one result to greet them, and that is the annihilation of the whole army..."Su Yu replied confidently.

"How are the air defense forces preparing....if you let the little devils in the city know, we have a shore defense artillery battalion that can talk about their tortoise shells blown into ruins. I believe that their air force will definitely find a way to destroy the only coastal defense artillery battalion in our hands at all costs...."Liu Hua continued to ask.

"The entire air defense division, plus the air defense regiment attached to the 1st Panzer Division. With a total of four regiments of air defense strength, except for one regiment dedicated to protecting the shore defense artillery battalion, the remaining three regiments have already laid out a huge net on the battlefield, just waiting for the arrival of the little devil air force. I dare to guarantee that as long as the air force of the little devils dares to come, our air defense forces will definitely make them unable to eat, go around, and pay a heavy price ...."

"Okay, now I'm relieved....now, let's wait for the protagonist of this battle, the coastal defense artillery battalion to arrive early. Then, we can use cannonballs to say hello to the little devil hidden in the shell of the turtle in Lushun City...."After receiving Commander Su Yu's affirmative answer, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.

"Commander-in-chief, according to the latest news from the coastal defense artillery battalion just now, in a maximum of one hour, the 18 coastal defense guns of the coastal defense artillery battalion can rush to the battlefield and participate in the battle..."Su Yu reminded.

"Then we will wait for the arrival of the shore defense artillery battalion ...."
