Lushunkou is located at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula, east of the Pacific Ocean, west of the Bohai Bay, the average temperature is about 10 degrees, the annual rainfall is about 500 mm, the severe winter is not freezing, it is a natural harbor. Then add the mouth door to the south, there is the Golden Mountain in the east, there is the Tiger Tail Peninsula in the west, surrounded by left and right, like the double claws of crabs. And the mountains on both sides of the strait are steep, not easy to climb, and difficult to enter without passing through the door. The entrance door is narrow and cannot accommodate the import of multiple ships. Militarily, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a rare gateway to national defense.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang decided to build it as the base of the Beiyang Navy in view of its natural shape and dangerous location, so he vigorously carried out its operation, building forts, barracks, docks, ship pools, workshops, and warehouses, thinking that it was a place for the navy to moor and repair, and China had a modern military port, which began from the beginning.

During the Russo-Japanese War, Port Arthur was known as the Gibraltar of the East and was known as the first fortress in East Asia, but the Japanese army lasted half a year and captured the fortress with nearly 20,000 casualties, winning the initiative in the war. Nogi Noshinori became famous with this battle and became the god of the Japanese Army.

However, today, the development of the navy is changing with each passing day, and the combat mode of ships is by no means comparable to that of the ironclad era in the late Qing Dynasty. The weakness of the shallow water at the entrance of the Port of Arthur has made the former No. 1 military port in the Far East live up to its reputation. However, the geographical location of the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula still makes it militarily important.

The Port of Arthur has been operated by Beiyang, Tsarist Russia and Japan, with numerous fortresses and countless fortifications, and a considerable number of large-caliber coastal defense guns.

But in this regard, Rear Admiral Guan Canghai, commander of the Northern Fleet of the Royal Navy, expressed disdain, "In these years, is there still a fortress that cannot be attacked?" ”

Indeed, with the strength of the Imperial Army, the Shenma Fortress and the like really don't need to be taken seriously. No matter how many coastal defense guns there are and how big the caliber is, can they hit the plane? No matter how thick the concrete of the fortifications is, can it withstand napalm and giant bombs? Moreover, the Dongguan Army was a lone army, not to mention support, and even the spiritual pillars had been shattered - the emperor was dead, Japan had surrendered, and most of the Japanese soldiers were just a kind of blind obedience, the heroism of the fanatical young officers who were stirred up by the spirit of bushido - they wanted to defeat the Allies and win the position that Japan deserved, not unconditional surrender, this was the propaganda slogan of Masao Terada's call for the Kwantung Army to fight with him.

The 8th Division and the 53rd Division of the Japanese Army, which guarded the brigade, were formed in Hirosaki, and the division commander at the time was Lieutenant General Tsukada, who also served as the commander of the garrison of the brigade.

In his heart, Lieutenant General Tsukada also looked down on Masao Terada, who murdered his commander, and in the Japanese Army, which paid attention to seniority, in Lieutenant General Tsukada's view, Terada was just a "little guy", and what qualifications did he have to command the million-dollar Kwantung Army? However, the base camp had already ordered surrender, and Tsukada was also disheartened, and he was also deeply dissatisfied with the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro. In his opinion, although the navy was not competitive, the Kwantung Army, the most elite of the imperial army, was unharmed, and if all the Japanese troops in China were gathered, there were still nearly two million people, and it would not be impossible to compete with the allies. As the guy Terada said, even if he loses, he must fight a decent way for Japan to withdraw from the war, so why surrender unconditionally?

Tsukata's mentality can be said to represent the voice of most of the Japanese Kwantung Army officers, how is it possible to ask those army elites who are at least lieutenant generals and above to obey the orders of a little guy who is just a big guy? The commanders of the seven first-class divisions have already discussed that as long as they hold the first wave of the allied attack, they will immediately coax the little Terada guy from power, and they have decided to elect the commander of the first division, Major General Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the Kwantung Army.

The Allies did not pay much attention to the contradictions within the Kwantung Army, and MI2 paid attention to the deployment of troops and the contacts with Soviet Russia.

"The destruction of the Kwantung Army must not allow the Soviet Far Eastern Red Army to step across the Heilongjiang River. If necessary, deterrent strategic bombing of Soviet troops could be carried out. ”

His Majesty's orders were incomparably strong. "The Northeast is so bad, I haven't gone shopping yet, and the beard is worried about it?" In the Weiqing Pavilion, Zhong Yi signed the telegram to Wang Yizhe, and he was still indignant.

"Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and at present our top priority is to settle Japan, and the commander-in-chief's post-war affairs in Japan are not handled smoothly, and without the emperor, Ishihara's military figures are simply not enough to restrain the fanaticism of the Japanese." Ye Zhiqiu has been the chief minister for many years, and as one of His Majesty's right and left hands, he has become more and more calm.

"What Mr. Ye said is very right. Your Majesty, it's time for those two Japanese women in the Hook Yi Hall to come in handy! Jiang Yunzhi didn't even raise his head, almost put his face on the teacup and counted the tea stalks.

His Majesty's face was a little red, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't look closely, but Ye Zhiqiu was obviously a very careful person, "hehe" twice, and said, "I'm afraid that the big and small princesses will not be easy to deal with!" ”

People are afraid of agitation! From the emperor to the ordinary pawns, everyone has to have a face, right? Jiang Yunzhi and Ye Zhiqiu sang together, even if His Majesty knew that they were deliberate, he had to stiffen up, "What's not easy to deal with, national affairs, how can it be equated with the personal feelings of children." It's so decided, start the 'Shangyue' plan, I want to take Sakura Concubine, and send Asakanomiya Zhanzi back to Japan after the event, inherit the emperor's unification, and bring that Kikuko back to the national forest. Tell him that my daughter-in-law I sent him back, whether he can marry it or not depends on himself, the deadline is half a year, Japan can't stop, let him go back to Nanhua by himself! ”

"Gotcha! Your Majesty, if this matter is really settled, I will go and give marriage...... No, this escort of the female emperor back to China, what should I call an ambassador? As soon as His Majesty finished speaking, Jiang Yunzhi came to his senses.

His Majesty was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and Erye gave Jiang Hei a secret thumbs up on the side, please don't as well be excited, Your Majesty really eats this hand.

The "Shangyue" plan was formulated a year ago. One of the Asahoka Palace is a close family of the royal family, after the King of Hatohiko of the Asahoka Palace died in the war in Taiwan, the two daughters were captured, and the whole loudspeaker sent them back to the Weiyang Palace, although it aroused the boundless jealousy of Director Qin and the little goblin, but also gave His Majesty an inspiration, that is, to inherit the emperor's throne with one of the two daughters, and gradually stipulated in Japanese law that the emperor can only be inherited by royal women. Then pick the loyal people among our Han people, help the Japanese royal family improve the bloodline, and marry close relatives for hundreds of years, making the blood of the royal family extremely dirty, it's time to wash the blood!

The first advantage of this was to use the emperor's position in the eyes of the Japanese to calm their restlessness, submit to the rule of the Great Han, and smoothly integrate Japan into the Oriental colonial zone; secondly, the emperor has always been the source of evil, the root of ambition, and replacing it with a female emperor reduces the will of this lowly people to resist; Third, hehe, this female emperor is both the emperor of Japan and His Majesty's cherry concubine, and the next generation of female emperors is His Majesty's daughter, and of course His Majesty's daughter has to marry a Han Chinese. It won't take a few generations, do you say that this female emperor is Han or Japanese?

Of course, the "Shang Yue" plan, which has been carefully calculated by the Military Intelligence Bureau, is by no means something that can be summed up by these three words and vulgar sentences, and Director Mu personally organized a public opinion poll in Tokyo for this reason, and found that after the death of the emperor, a considerable part of the Japanese wanted to appoint a new emperor, and as for whether the new emperor was male or female, most people said that it did not matter. In the history of Japan, the 46th Emperor Koken, who is quite famous among the Japanese people, was a female emperor who directly inherited the throne from the prince of the inner prince, and during his reign, he also quelled the Fujiwara Nakamaro Rebellion, and was deeply loved by the people. For more than 1,000 years, there have been eight female emperors in Japan, and in Japanese, they are called female emperors.

"That's it! You don't have to frown around, that's it! Zhiqiu will accompany me to the Hook Yi Hall in a while, huh...... Who's that...... Vivian, inform the Jinhua Palace, and let the attendant Director Qin accompany him to the Hook Ge Palace! ”

…… Your Majesty is trying to avoid suspicion, but Erye Yijiang laughed again, and Zhong Yi also felt funny! "Nima, in your eyes, has Lao Tzu become an emperor who is afraid of women? A group of bachelors, what's ridiculous about Lao Tzu dropping? Because Xun has experience, you say, this is not called fear, this is called respect, right? ”

Ye Weixun nodded again and again, but couldn't help laughing......

The monarchs and ministers in the Weiqing Pavilion laughed again and again, so unhappy! But in the rippling Yellow Sea in Dalian Bay, Major General Guan Canghai, the commander-in-chief of the Luda Campaign, was not so happy, and after a few days of fierce attack, the Lushun fortress was impregnable. When the naval guns bombarded outside the mouth of Arthur, there was actually a destroyer that was hit and exploded by the guns on the shore of the Mantou Mountain Battery, and the sailors on the ship had no choice but to abandon ship.

Guan Canghai was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded, this time he was embarrassed and could be thrown to his hometown, but many fortresses in Lushunkou were built in the middle of the mountain, not to mention naval guns, even aircraft bombing was not easy. Moreover, on the basis of the former Qing Beiyang and Russian devils, the Japanese army almost hollowed out all the mountains, and the 280-mm large-caliber coastal defense guns could condescendingly bombard the battleships by virtue of the mountain situation.

Over the course of a few days, many battleships were damaged, not to mention a destroyer was sunk, which made the arrogance of the Japanese defenders' 8th Division even more arrogant.

In desperation, the Northern Fleet had no choice but to turn to attack Dalian, using the sea and air superiority to destroy the Japanese artillery positions on the Dazuizi Peninsula, and the 2nd Marine Division forced a landing, and under the cover of naval artillery fire, the Japanese 53rd Division was routed. Two days later, the 2nd Marine Division broke through the Japanese defense line in Dafangshen and attacked Dalian.

Five days later, the Third Army of the Coastal Corps arrived in Dalian on the Yanhuang Wheel, and the Han army flanked the front and rear, using the three-dimensional attack of the navy and army, and gradually advanced. In particular, after the super hell eye in Yantai dropped thousands of tons of napalm on Lushun Fortress Golden Mountain, Huwei Mountain, Jiaoshan Mountain and Eagle's Nest Mountain, the Japanese troops hiding in the fortress suffered serious casualties, and the most deadly thing was that a large amount of materials stored in the fortress were burned, and the morale of the Eighth Division was seriously damaged.

On May 17, Yu Xuezhong commanded the armored group to break through the Japanese Shanhaiguan defense line, and He Zhuguo led the 77th Armored Army to penetrate in depth and cut off the retreat of six divisions of the Kwantung Army.

On May 19th, the 1st and 3rd Divisions of the Guards Corps Armored Corps faced off with the Japanese Tank Army tanks in Huludao, the Tiger medium tank once again finished the Hatch tank, and the 101st Cavalry Division suddenly appeared over the battlefield.

Two days later, Wang Yizhe commanded the main force of the Southern Group Army to encircle and annihilate the six divisions of the Third Front Army of the Dongguan Army on both sides of the Great Wall at the Nine Gates. When the news came, Lieutenant General Tsukada in the Lushun fortress led the rest of the Japanese army to raise the flag and surrender, and the brigade was liberated.

The Coast Army and the 2nd Marine Division then went north to Gaizhou to attack the Japanese garrison of the South Manchurian Railway, and the northeastern town of Mukden, which was pointed to by the two major armies.
