In less than two days, the nearest Chair Hill Fort and Anzishan Fort to 203 Heights were captured by the Chinese Army, and two days later, on September 15, the North Fort and the side defense fort of Dongjiguan Mountain were captured by the Chinese Army.

On October 16, the 6th Division captured the Erlongshan Battery, and in the afternoon of the same day, the 5th Division captured the Wangtai Fort on the left side of Dongjiguan Mountain, and on October 17, the Pine Fort Fort was taken by the 6th Division.

At this point, the Japanese defense in Lushunkou has been fragmented and completely collapsed, without the protection of these fortresses and batteries, the Japanese troops and the Japanese in Lushunkou are no longer safe, and Lushunkou was breached in this day or two.

Regarding the question of whether to fight to the death or lead the remnants to surrender, the governor of the Kwantung Prefecture, Nakamura Satoru, and the commander of the 19th Division of the Japanese Army, Tachibana Koichiro, had a strict disagreement, and the army was in the hands of Tachibana Koichiro, in fact, Nakamura Satoru did not have military power, after all, he had just taken office as governor, and the connection between here and the country had been broken, and he could not get support from the mainland, but what made him feel comforted was that Fukushima Yasumasa still supported him.

Originally, Fukushima Yasumasa should have left Lushunkou to return to China, but he did not succeed because he happened to be stopped by the war in the area of Piziwo on the way back to North Korea by land, so he had to return to Lushunkou.

Satoru Nakamura and Yasumasa Fukushima think that they are staying in the green mountains, and they are not afraid of no firewood! The situation has reached such a point that there is no need to resist any longer. It's just a matter of increasing casualties, and they've done their best. If you surrender now, Tokyo can't say anything. And now the mainland, including Tokyo, is in a mess, and the Japanese mainland has no mind to care about this side of the matter at all, and they have been forgotten by the Japanese mainland.

The commander of the 19th Division, Koichiro Tachibana, believed that the soldiers had fought to the death to serve the emperor, and he strongly claimed that he would lead his troops to fight the Chinese army to the last man until he was killed.

Satoru Nakamura and Yasumasa Fukushima are both very sensible people, and they know very well that if they do what Koichiro Tachibana wants, they are sure that in the end, there will probably not be a single Japanese left in Lushunkou, including the Japanese civilians who colonized here. Koichiro Tachibana was afraid that he would arm all the Japanese civilians here to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army, which was unacceptable to them.

The two discussed for a long time, and finally made up their minds to seize the military power in the hands of Tachibana Koichiro, and on October 17, it was a full month before the Chinese army attacked the Liaodong Peninsula.

Satoru Nakamura sent someone to ask Koichiro Tachibana to go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss the military deployment, and Koichiro Tachibana did not suspect him, and soon rushed to the Governor's Mansion with two guards, and when he arrived, he found that Fukushima Yasumasa was also there.

In the process of discussion, Nakamura Satoru and Tachibana Koichiro had a fierce quarrel. Then a gunshot rang out in the room, and Koichiro Tachibana was shot in the chest and fell to the ground in disbelief.

Subsequently, Satoru Nakamura announced to all the remaining Japanese strongholds at the Port of Arthur that Koichiro Tachibana had been killed in battle. He was in full charge of the command, and he summoned the Japanese officers from the various defensive positions to the governor's palace to convene a military meeting to solicit opinions from the officers. Will you resist to the end or choose to surrender?

Most of the Japanese officers had lost faith in holding on, and many understood that they could no longer hold on after the loss of the forts and batteries ahead. Continuing to resist to the end can only lead to a dead end, and many Japanese officers are aware of the situation at home. Knowing that there was no point in fighting any longer, the majority of Japanese officers supported surrender, and at least a few diehards supported a decisive battle to the end.

Satoru Nakamura used force to suppress the Japanese officers who opposed the surrender, and after killing two Japanese soldiers in a row who opposed the surrender, the other opponents suddenly chose to remain silent.

On the afternoon of October 17, Nakamura Satoru sent someone to contact the military headquarters of the Second Army, expressing his willingness to surrender, but demanding fair treatment of prisoners, and the Russians also chose to surrender to the Japanese under such circumstances, and now the Japanese do not feel ashamed to surrender to China under such circumstances.

On October 18, Nakamura Satoru led more than 7,000 remnants of the Japanese army in Lushunkou to surrender to the Chinese army, and Huang Yingjie, commander of the Second Army, led other senior generals of the military department to accept Nakamura Jue's surrender, so far, all the land on the Liaodong Peninsula has returned to the embrace of the motherland.

The news soon spread to the capital, and the official then held a press conference to announce the recovery of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the remnants of the Japanese army in Lushunkou surrendered more than 7,000 people, including the Kwantung Governor's Governor Nakamura Satoru, and some high-ranking Japanese generals were also captured.

After learning that the Liaodong Peninsula had been recovered, the people of the whole country rose again in self-confidence and expressed their support for the authorities' war against Japan.

Preparations for the recovery of Wan Dao are underway, and the troops that have received the order are rushing to the predetermined places in the south to assemble, and the attack on Korea is also being deployed by Chen Jizu, and the logistics department is intensively deploying all kinds of supplies.

Negotiations with the Japanese are still ongoing, the Japanese are not reconciled, the Meiji Restoration has been beaten back to the prototype by China in just two months, how can the Japanese swallow this breath? The Japanese are now holding on to this face, and they do not want to admit that they have been defeated, and the Chinese side is not in a hurry, and the negotiations can be discussed slowly, but Xiao Zhenlei will never stop the pace of war against Japan because of negotiations.

In the past half century, the Japanese have finally risen again, and finally seized the Korean Peninsula, Wandao and its affiliated islands, the Ryukyu Islands and the Liaodong Peninsula in the mouth of the Qing court, and finally forced the Qing court to compensate for huge war reparations. Losing even any piece of territory is like cutting meat on them.

Japan is in a very bad situation right now, the economy has completely collapsed, the yen has depreciated sharply, there is basically no purchasing power internationally, and you need a bag of yen in Japan to buy a bag of rice or half a bag of flour, and it is mixed with sand.

Grain and some daily necessities have been taken over by the Japanese government, to be distributed uniformly, but there are so many people in Japan, those who can eat enough are some powerful people, and the Japanese people below are simply not enough to eat, Japan's area is only so large, the arable land area is even less, and the population is large, and the food gap in the past is imported from abroad, but now the Chinese side has imposed a blockade on Japan, and no ships can enter Japan, which makes Japan completely isolated from the world, and it is no wonder that the economy does not collapse.

The Japanese mainland was already in chaos and was no longer able to carry out unified management of the Japanese forces on the Korean Peninsula, Wan Dao and its affiliated islands, the Ryukyu Islands, the Tsarist Far East, and Siberia.

He wants to regain all the lost land step by step, slowly reclaim the one that was taken away by the Japanese, crush Japan in momentum, blockade Japan economically, prohibit Japan from contact with other countries in the world, isolate them from the world, and let their economy collapse, the consequence of economic collapse is social turmoil, and after the turmoil in Japanese society, all forces will rise, which will lead to civil strife in Japan, and civil strife is the most terrible.

In dealing with Japan, Xiao Zhenlei's purpose was to allow Japan to have a large force and a number of other small forces to exist, and to support them for a certain extent, either explicitly or covertly, so that Japan would be in a situation of warlord division and civil strife for a long time, so that these warlords would fight endlessly all year round, or support a puppet government to completely obey China, and if they did not obey, they would support other people to replace them, and at the same time treat Japan as an obedient thug, and let them fight whoever they want.

In fact, the first few conditions he mentioned were acceptable to the Japanese, that is, the return of Korea, Wandao and its affiliated islands, the Ryukyus, Sakhalin Island, and so on, and the transfer of Siberia and the Far East that had occupied Tsarist Russia to China to take over, and so on. The requirements for the garrison and the abolition of the emperor's title were too contradictory, and the negotiations were slow to progress.

Xiao Zhenlei did not care about the progress of the negotiations, of course it was good that the negotiations could be successful, and if the negotiations could not be negotiated, the war would continue to be fought, and in the end, these conditions did not need to be agreed to by the Japanese, and Huaguo could just take them by himself.

After the reconquest of Lushunkou, the official authorities quickly sent officials to take over the administrative work, and the intelligence department also carefully screened the Japanese in the Liaodong Peninsula, and those engaged in spy work were arrested, all young men over the age of 15 and under the age of 45 were taken to open mines or build roads, and young Japanese women of childbearing ability were sent to remote mountainous areas to work as mothers-in-law for men who could not find wives, so as to alleviate the social problem that many men could not marry due to various conditions. In addition, those Japanese children and the elderly, regardless of gender, were all loaded on ships and sent back to the Japanese mainland, leaving them to fend for themselves, and the Japanese authorities themselves were in a state of anxiety, where would they have the energy to care about the lives and deaths of these old and weak people who were sent back? Whether these old and weak people can survive in Japan is a question.

Fukushima Yasu, who was hidden among Japanese civilians, was found out in the process of screening, and the father of Japanese intelligence was taken away and imprisoned by the Chinese intelligence department, and no one knows what the final outcome was. (To be continued......)
