"When Russia came into contact with the Qing Beiyang, the fate of Japan had already been decided, but in Jinzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula, the armies of both sides were still fighting bravely. The Japanese First Army fought for that illusory victory. As for the North Ocean? They are more like bullfighters, using the javelin in their hands to let go of the last drop of blood of the Japanese Army's healthy bull. After the war, Jinshu Castle, like the Datong River, became the last name that the Japanese would want to mention. The Far East, a large country, took advantage of this war to solve the crisis in the east once and for all. Although at this time he is not very strong. Some didn't even wake up. ———— excerpt from "Forgotten History"

The rumbling of artillery resounded throughout the battlefield. The artillery preparations, which were originally planned for 45 minutes, continued to do so after 80 minutes. The artillery firepower possessed by the Beiyang New Army far exceeded Japanese estimates. Judging from previous wars, the artillery of the Beiyang Army has a long range, but the number is small and the caliber is small. But now it seems. The artillery of the Beiyang Army was slightly superior to the Japanese in both quantity and quality.

Soon, the artillery of both sides was targeting the forward positions of the other side, and endless suppression and counter-battery operations became the theme of artillery warfare. Before the start of the war, the artillery of the Beiyang New Army had already built strong bunkers for the artillery, and divided and calculated the battlefield. The Japanese army, as the attacking side, was relatively concentrated in the distribution of firepower. Local advantages were formed.

The rain of bullets flew towards the artillery positions behind the position, and a shell fell next to a 6-inch gun bunker of the Beiyang New Army. The huge explosion threw a huge amount of earth and shrapnel into the breastwork of the bunker. Some of the shrapnel fell from the top of his head, and one of the loaders happened to be concentrated in the head by the shrapnel, and thick blood and snow-white brains splattered out. It fell on the cannon and on the comrades next to it. But not a single one spoke, no one was afraid. After they removed the bodies of their comrades, an alternate gunner came up and took over the work of the war dead. No one is afraid, no one retreats, this kind of scene is seen too much today. The nerves have been steeled. The flames and death tempered numb!

Compared with the Beiyang artillery, the Japanese artillery suffered more serious losses, and with a full set of bunkers to protect and observe the targets provided, the Japanese artillery could not compare with the Beiyang Army, which had been preparing for several months, in terms of both the perception of the war situation and the defense. Especially the 240MM heavy artillery moved from Weihai. With its tremendous power and ultra-long range, the old suppressed the Japanese artillery. THE 280MM LARGE-CALIBER MORTAR GUN, WHICH WAS THE FIRST TO FIRE, WAS FINALLY WIPED OUT UNDER THE BLOW OF THE 240MM FORTRESS ARTILLERY GROUP, AND THE BROKEN BARRELS, THE GUN CARRIAGES THAT TURNED INTO PARTS, THE WOODEN TURNTABLE AND THE MUTILATED CORPSES ALL TOLD PEOPLE THAT THE "GRINDING SAMURAI" THAT THE JAPANESE ARMY WAS PROUD OF FINALLY COLLAPSED IN JINZHOU!

AND THEN AS THE FORTRESS ARTILLERY TURNED ITS TARGET TO THE JAPANESE LONG-RANGE CANNON POSITIONS, THE 107MM GUN EMPLACEMENTS AND 120MM GUN EMPLACEMENTS HIDDEN BEHIND THE BUNKERS WERE EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO THE 140KG GRENADE ATTACK. Nogi Noshinori at the front-line command post saw a 140mm shell directly penetrate the breastwork wall made of logs, sandbags and rammed earth. BLOW UP A 120MM CANNON IN THE BACK STRAIGHT INTO THE SKY! The mutilated limbs and artillery parts were thrown into the sky with great force, and then scattered within a radius of more than 20 meters. In the rain of bullets. FROM TIME TO TIME GUN EMPLACEMENTS WERE HIT BY SHELLS, THERE WERE 240MM, 152MM AND MORE OFTEN 120MM NAVAL CANNON SHELLS.

The sound of explosions continued one after another, and I sat on a hot air balloon and looked at it from above. The ground was littered with explosive dots and flames, and the updrafts from the burning made the balloons a little unstable. The entire battlefield is obscured by layers of smoke, and through the gaps in the smoke, you may be able to see soldiers on both sides moving like ants in the trenches. They are so weak that a single shell can cost the life of a squad of soldiers. The artillery battle continued, and there was no more suspense. The artillery of the Beiyang Navy and Army, which occupies a geographical advantage and has an advantage in equipment, will completely defeat the Japanese artillery in a war of attrition. Don't forget, there is still a railway mobile artillery in Beiyang that is not used, and those are all 8-inch guns! …,

"It can't go on like this. It was impossible for the artillery units to defeat the Beiyang artillery corps. We must strike now. Otherwise, it will be too late, and our troops will not have a little fire cover! "Watching his artillery positions being destroyed one by one, Motoji decided to launch a general attack in advance. At the same time, Youpeng in Shan County is also aware of this.

As a result, the general offensive of the Japanese army began to unfold, and it was on the preset 4 breakthrough directions. The Japanese charged from their starting positions. Amid the roaring cannonball, groups of Japanese soldiers with white cloths wrapped around their heads and weapons in their hands rushed towards the Beiyang Army defense line in front. First of all, they were confronted with a defensive line that stretched out and was 5 meters wide. A trench 4 meters deep, which is covered with spikes and mines. This was followed by minefields. Behind it were barbed wire and barricades. And when the 3 obstacles are passed, it is the first line of defense of the Beiyang Army!

In the face of these things in front of them that can devour their lives at any time, the Japanese army also made some preparations, only to see that the first batch of charging troops in addition to the weapons they carried, every ten people with a wooden ladder rushed up, and when they arrived at the trench, they saw that they clamped a ladder more than 6 meters long to the trench, and then the infantry stepped on the ladder to rush to the opponent's position.

"Fire!" In the face of these live targets, the defending Forces nouvelles were naturally not polite, and when the Japanese gathered by the trenches, all kinds of machine-gun fire and mortars fired at the Japanese troops who were turning over the ladders. And at the same time, the Japanese also pushed up Gatling guns with shields and light artillery!

But alas, Golden State is not Pyongyang. The Beiyang New Army, which concentrates almost all the elites, is not comparable to Nie Shicheng's. And the bunker, which took several months to build, is not something that the 57-level small cannon and the hand-cranked Gatling gun can deal with! Under the dense firepower, the Japanese army was like cutting wheat by bullets and shrapnel to harvest their lives, a large group of assault troops just rushed up and disappeared in the rain of bullets and flames, watching the soldiers under his command fall one by one, Kitaro couldn't help but clench his fists, his nails cut the palms of his hands, and he didn't react. "Keep fighting like this. Even if the First Army is all filled in, it will definitely not be able to pile up Jinzhou City! Kitaro suddenly said loudly.

At the same time, after discussing with the staff officers, Youpeng in Shan County also decided to completely abandon the suppression of the Beiyang forward artillery, and concentrate all the firepower to blast a gap in the opponent's defense line! If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!

The Japanese artillerymen, who had adjusted their tactics, immediately lowered their muzzles and aimed their guns at bunkers and bunkers that were spraying deadly flames. Accompanied by the vibration of artillery fire. One shell after another flew towards the bunker of the Beiyang defensive line. In the bursts of explosions, many machine-gun bunkers and mortar positions were blown up, and the Japanese troops, who had suddenly lost effective suppression, rushed through the trenches with shouts and tried to rush to the minefield. I saw that after the first group of Japanese troops arrived at the minefield, they immediately fell to the ground, and then rolled forward and used their bodies to clear mines!

"Don't say it, the Japanese are really not afraid of death." The sappers hiding in the trenches smiled. "Yes, in addition to the pressure thunder, there are also remote-controlled detonated mines." A sapper next to him said disapprerovingly. After the minefield with a width of more than 100 meters was rolled over by a dry human minesweeper, the remaining Japanese soldiers howled and rushed up, leaving the most stubborn roadblock, and after clearing it, they could fight to the death with those cowards hiding behind the trenches! But just when the Japanese were rushing up, the clicks of the remote control detonation exploded with directional mines!

THIS IRON SHELL, A LARGE MINE CHARGE WITH A PREFABRICATED NOTCH MADE OF THIN IRON SHEET IN A SPECIFIC DIRECTION, IS UP TO MORE THAN 1KG! There are as many as 500 steel balls mixed in it. Combined with the shrapnel generated by the fragmentation of the thunder body. Under the action of high energy and hundreds of shrapnel, a steel storm was directly blown in an area of 60 degrees in the front and an arc length of 15 meters! The fragile human body simply can't resist it. The closer ones were shredded, and the farther ones were beaten into a sieve. The violent explosion had a huge impact, and the people who rushed in front were suddenly beaten to the sidelines. The Japanese soldiers in the back were also stunned, hesitating and not daring to charge. Every minute of delay on the battlefield is fatal. Just when the Japanese were hesitating, the dense barrage of bullets and mortar shells directly hit the remaining enemy who rushed through the trench. …,

Just as the remaining Japanese troops were trying to retreat, bullets fired from the Gatling guns in the back told them. Moving forward is the only option. These Japanese Gatling guns were not only used to provide fire cover, but more importantly, they existed as Warlords!

In an instant, all the Japanese Army understood that this was a decisive battle. All those who rush up will die, but at the hands of their opponents or at the hands of their own people. The Japanese army, having completely given up hope of life, burst out at the last moment with an astonishing fighting force, howling and roaring. Ignoring the rain of bullets, ignoring all discipline and tactics, he stepped through the mine array, rushed through the barbed wire fence and rushed towards the defense line of the Beiyang Army.

A Japanese soldier fell to the ground screaming, and he was not hit by a bullet. Instead, it is entangled in barbed wire, and the biggest feature of this barbed pit viper-shaped barbed wire is that once it is hung, the more it struggles, the more barbs will pierce into the body. At the end of the day, the victim will be entangled in barbed wire and fall to the ground after shedding a drop of blood! But the Japanese soldiers behind had no mercy, no one was going to help the victim, they stepped on the bodies of their victims, and let the heart-rending screams ring in their ears, and they rushed over. Blood-red eyes stared at the Beiyang Army opposite. They screamed wildly, and they laughed, as if they could rush into cover, they could win!

After using grenades and breaking down the obstacles in front of them, those Japanese soldiers who were already half-crazy finally saw the hope of victory, of course, this was just what they thought, and then, the Beiyang Army would use practical actions to tell those Japanese that in close combat, the Beiyang Army can definitely overwhelm those beasts!
