"What? General Nogi Noshinori was killed? Kawakami asked.

"General, yes, General Nogi Noshinori was killed in the head by a bullet fired by the enemy from seven or eight kilometers away. This is the warhead, please take a look at it! The staff officer said.

And in this era, it is simply impossible to shoot and kill people from seven or eight kilometers away, and it is really unthinkable. After all, if you can shoot yourself from seven or eight kilometers away, then I am afraid that no one will feel safe, and everyone will be in danger!

"General, I want to avenge Lieutenant General Nogi Noshinori!" Someone immediately said.

"Revenge!" "Yes! The people of China are so shameless, we must take revenge! "Yes, revenge!" ……

The Japanese army shouted for revenge, apparently to start a war immediately. And now they are not reconciled, so if they can't take revenge, it will definitely be a loss. Therefore, they all shouted for revenge and gave Wang Guorui's Chinese army a little color.

And Kawakami Caoliu saw this situation, and immediately said angrily: "Okay, let's go to war with the Shina army immediately, and we must teach the Shina people a hard lesson." ”

Soon, the Japanese began to prepare, and they all began to dig trenches in an attempt to bring the two sides closer.

And now, Wang Guorui also began to speak immediately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Japanese army was killed by Natasha a lieutenant general, they suffered a big loss this time, and a lieutenant general died before the war started, and no one would be reconciled. So they're going to come and take revenge right away. We have to prepare. According to my intelligence, the Japanese army has begun to dig trenches, and this time their main target is Chen Liyan, your second division. So you have to be ready. Therefore, this time the Japanese army is not good, and we must annihilate them well. This is our first big collision, and this time it will determine the morale and momentum for the rest of the game, so we can only win, not lose. If we lose, it will definitely be a big drop in our morale. And the Japanese army is actually our apprentice, if the master loses to the apprentice. That's a shame. Wang Guorui said.

"Yes!" Everyone said together.

Wang Guorui's orders also began to be issued, and the subordinate troops also began to move forward, several kilometers. The Japanese troops were also moving several kilometers forward. The two sides finally met and confronted each other less than two kilometers away, and there was a big situation of triggering a situation at any time.

"Commander, should we take the opportunity to rush? Take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army is not firmly on the ground, and quickly disperse them? That might be enough to crush them in one fell swoop. And then victory! "A staff officer of the Second Division asked, and Chen Liyan, the commander of the Second Division, asked.

But Chen Liyan shook his head and said, "You don't see that the Japanese army is very prepared. Isn't there any sign of a foothold? I'm sure that if we dare to attack, then their artillery will blow us to the ground! And, do you think we'll be able to attack all the way to their core? Will we be able to break through the turtle shell of the Japanese army? Obviously not, our breakthrough ability has not yet reached this level. Here, too, we can only fight with trenches, and if there are no trenches, then they have powerful artillery fire and enough dense bullets. can kill me in large numbers. Although we want to defeat the Japanese army, it does not mean that we have to make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

And the same idea. It was also the idea of the Japanese army opposite.

"General Katsura Taro, should we take the initiative to attack? It seemed to me that they were not on their feet, and they were all digging trenches on the opposite side. As long as we can take advantage of the opportunity to attack, then we may be able to take them down in one fell swoop! Someone said.

But Katsura Taro immediately said angrily: "Idiot, don't you see that people are in a neat formation and have people covering when digging trenches? And you see, they have those small shells for cover at any time, and their cannons are still in the rear, and if we rush out, we will inevitably be hit hard by their artillery fire. When the time comes, our losses will be very huge. In this kind of trench warfare, I can see that the attacking side will suffer a big loss. ”

This Katsura Taro's future in Japan is also unlimited, especially since he is a person who has served as prime minister, one of Japan's veterans, and a proud protégé of Yama Prefecture Aritomo, the first veteran of the Japanese Army. And I have to say that the Japanese army has taken out the strength to feed in this attack on Taiwan. Moreover, at present, the 1st to 6th divisions of the Japanese army, their division commanders are all elites of the entire generation of Japanese people. The division commanders of the six divisions and regiments of the Japanese army that have invaded Taiwan at present can be said to be the most elite generation in Japan at present, and they all have a bright future ahead of them. And most of them will be at least generals in the future, even marshals and prime ministers, so they are definitely not mediocre people. So Katsura Taro is very aware of the disadvantages of this kind of trench warfare, and the biggest problem of this kind of trench warfare is that the defender has increased the firepower of the defense to the extreme, while the attacker has suffered very heavy losses.

Trench warfare is very cruel for the attacking side, if you don't have enough manpower and material resources, then don't attack. And in many cases, even if it is defeated, the cost of loss is higher than the strategic goal you want to achieve. So now Wang Guorui and the Japanese army are in an inexplicable stalemate, and neither side wants to take the initiative to attack.

However, Wang Guorui has an advantage, that is, he can force the Japanese army to attack, and the Japanese army was killed by Natasha a lieutenant general, so they must retaliate. If they did not retaliate, then the morale of the Japanese army would definitely fall, so they would inevitably take the initiative to attack. If you don't attack, I'm afraid it will be a very strict consequence.

"Dig for me, dig the trench out, it's about two kilometers away from them, and then we'll dig forward by various methods after we're done, so we can go through the method of geodigging. That's the best way we can do it! Chen Liyan said.

Now Wang Guorui's officers have truly realized the essence of trench warfare, which is nothing more than digging trenches and then constantly advancing through the method of geotechnical excavation. And use artillery fire to cover each other, and then constantly attack each other's positions, so as to achieve the result of destroying the other side. And the battle on both sides was also fought in the trenches, and without the protection of the trenches, it would definitely be very heavy losses.

And the soldiers dug very fast with sapper shovels, and shovels of dirt were dug out at a speed that was unimaginable in the past. And the Japanese troops on the opposite side saw this situation and also scolded their engineers.

"Engineers, how did you dig trenches? How is it that the Chinese army is digging trenches so fast than we are? Katsura Taro asked.

At present, Wang Guorui's troops have completed six-tenths of the progress of digging trenches, but the speed of the Japanese army's trenching is less than three-tenths of the strength, which is at least half the slower than the Chinese army. Therefore, it is impossible for Katsura Taro not to be angry, because once the Chinese army dug the trenches first, I am afraid that it will definitely have an advantage for the Chinese army to deploy defenses. The speed of trench digging in trench warfare is also an important assessment indicator, and if you don't dig trenches to the fullest, it will definitely be a great loss. The speed of digging trenches was very large, and the number of attacks and the initiative were determined, so Katsura Taro also began to scold those engineers for not being strong.

"General, we can't help it. I don't know what's going on with the China, but they're digging a lot faster than we do. And I see that every time they shovel down, they can easily dig out a shovel of dirt, so I suspect that their shovel is good! The commander of the engineering wing of the third division of the Japanese army said helplessly.

This engineer wing commander is naturally very aware of how much benefit a good tool can bring, and Wang Guorui's sapper shovel digging speed is very fast. And normal people can compare the digging frequency of both sides through guò, and then Wang Guorui's people dug once, and the Japanese army has not finished digging. This comparison is made by comparing the frequency of shoveling, and you can see where the gap between the two sides is. And the strength of this kingdom Rui's army is beyond doubt, so Katsura Taro feels very scared.

"We can't go on like this, we must annihilate this army, once they merge with the central government in the country, or even control the central government, then our Japanese empire will never be at peace!" Katsura Taro thought to himself.

Now all the "people of insight" in Japan have also understood that Wang Guorui's Taiwanese army and the mainland government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty must not be allowed to merge, otherwise Japan will inevitably die without a place to be buried. Because everyone now knows that only by maintaining the decay and degeneration of the Manchus can they gradually destroy China. But once the Chinese begin to wake up, it may be very dangerous. Originally, these Japanese officers only came to fight to seize Taiwan, but now they are fighting to strangle Wang Guorui's forces. If Wang Guorui can't be stifled, or even let Wang Guorui control China, then China may rise again in the future, and it will be a big trouble at that time.

"We must destroy them, at any cost! If we don't destroy them, we in Japan will be doomed. Katsura Taro thought.

"General, the trenches of the Shina army have almost been dug up, and we are just about halfway there, so we ......," said a Japanese staff officer.

"Call me, call me while they are not on a firm foothold now!" Katsura Taro said.

"General, didn't you say ...... just now?"

"It was just now, and it's now. I didn't expect them to finish digging the trenches so quickly, and if we don't hurry to stop them, the next situation will be very unfavorable to us! Katsura Taro said.

"Yes!" Immediately a Japanese soldier replied. (To be continued......)
